Neskonlith issues eviction noticeImperial Metals: Band cites need for environmental protection of Adams River.

There will be no second chances if the Secwepemc First Nations has their way.

Neskonlith Band Chief Judy Wilson issued an eviction notice Wednesday to Imperial Metals, owner of the Ruddock Creek Mine high above the headwaters of the Adams River.

Wilson does not buy into the provinces assurance that all envi-ronmental assessments are rigor-ous.

The eviction from land the Nes-konlith claim to own under aborigi-nal title is a response to the recent Mt. Polley tailings pond disaster. It was a catastrophic breach that Wilson says could have been pre-vented had Imperial Metals had proper risk management practices in place and federal and provincial governments properly assessed and monitored the operation.

Imperial Metals representatives did not return calls for comment by press time.

Wilson charges that, due to prior inaction on the part of everyone in-volved, the flow of the breach has not yet been stopped, with toxic substances continuing to discharge into the environment.

The result is long-term impacts on our Secwepemc lands, waters and the health of our people, wrote Wilson in the Aug. 12 eviction notice, charging the company has significantly contributed to the cu-mulative impact for all Secwepemc people.

Imperial Metals cannot be al-lowed to cause any further impacts

in Secwepemculecw, she writes, pointing to the importance of Ad-ams River sockeye salmon to the livelihoods of many Indigenous peoples in the B.C. Interior.

Wilson laments the federal gov-ernments decision last month to forego an environmental assess-ment for Ruddock Creek, defer-ring it to the province to perform a single assessment this despite vigorous opposition from several Shuswap bands.

Imperial Metals has already been discharging water from their exploratory mining activities into

this extremely sensitive watershed and the habitat of the Adams River sockeye salmon she wrote, not-ing First Nations responsibility to protect the land for future gen-erations and the need to refuse any mining development, particularly in the sacred headwaters of the Ad-ams River.

Wilson points out the Neskonlith band has neither given their consent to, nor signed any agreements with the province or the company and assert Secwepemc inherent juris-diction and aboriginal title to bar Imperial Metals owners, employ-

ees, insurers and investors from ac-cessing Shuswap territory.

Our elders stated they do not want anything that poisons our water or salmon, Wilson wrote, noting Neskonlith band members have made a declaration opposing the Ruddock Creek Mine and held water ceremonies to protect the wa-ter and salmon. Our council stands with our elders and people we op-pose the proposed Ruddock Creek Mine by Imperial Metals and here-

In the Aug. 6 edition of the Shuswap Market News on page B1, there were some mistakes in a photo caption regard-ing the Chase Legion.

The Chase Legion ceremony was held on Aug. 4 and marked the beginning of World War I, not the end of the war, as indicated.

Also, Rollie Phillips was misidenti ed in the photograph.

The Shuswap Mar-ket News apologize for the errors.

by evict Imperial Met-als from our territory.

In an Aug. 11 email statement, Ministry of Environment maintains it is too early to draw conclusions about the cause of the failure at the Mt. Polley mine tailings management facility and defends its environmental assess-ment process.

All of British Co-lumbias environmen-tal assessments are rigorous, thorough reviews of the poten-tial for environmen-tal, economic, social, heritage and health ef-fects from a proposed project, reads the statement. The pro-posed Ruddock Creek lead-zinc mine is in the early stages of the environmental assess-ment process.

Mining Watch Can-ada co-ordinator Ram-say Hart notes that while a tailings pond at Ruddock Creek Mine would be signi cantly smaller than the one at Mt. Polley, it will be built on the same basic principles.

We often have a hard time getting com-panies to admit a tail-ing pond failure is even

a conceivable pos-sibility, so they dont necessarily want to in-clude that scenario in their assessments and planning, Hart says, noting Imperial Metals president Brian Kyn-och admitted he would have denied the possi-bility of a breach had he been asked just two weeks prior to the inci-dent. It speaks to the overcon dence indus-try has in the engineer-ing of tailings ponds.

Shuswap Environ-mental Action Society president Jim Cooper-man says no mine, re-gardless of who is in power, has ever, to his knowledge, had a min-ing application turned down.

With the BC Lib-erals, their mantra has been cut red tape; thats how they label it and that basically means cutting back on the rules that compa-nies operate on and let-ting industry self-reg-ulate, he says. The term they have there is professional reliance and the professionals are hired by company. If they tell them what they dont want to know, theyll hire other professional who will tell them what they do want to hear.

Cooperman, who was given a tour in 2008 when the mine was owned by Selkirk Mines, says the main problem at Ruddock Creek is that the origi-nal plan to truck the ore away for processing was dropped in favour of a tailings pond at the mine site.

Chief Wilson said Wednesday that the Neskonlith dont want a mine, regardless of who owns it.

Weve been at this for a long time and we are totally opposed, she said, noting Sec-wepemc protests have fallen on deaf ears. They continued to develop it but we want the mine to shut.

A notice of eviction will be posted at the Ruddock Creek site and a blockade will be considered following meetings with elders and other band mem-bers next week.

In the meantime, Wilson will accom-pany a group to Van-couver Friday where they will hand deliver a formal eviction notice to Imperial Metals ex-ecutives.

Tickets will be exchanged for wristbands, which need to re-main on your wrist and intact in order to access the grounds again.

Festivalgoers are welcome to take their own blankets or tarps for seating, but they must not exceed eight by 10 feet in size. All bags will undergo a security check at the gates to make sure nobody is packing alcohol go to the beer garden for that.

Chairs are also OK, but higher chairs will be relegated to the back of the pack to prevent them from blocking the view of the stage for others. Those who want to get up and cut a rug, are asked to stay in the dance areas for the same reason.

Anyone who needs assistance for any reason can look for mem-bers of the security team, who will be wearing red shirts and patrolling the grounds during the festival.

Medical treatment is avail-able at a first aid station located in front of the fairground rid-ing ring that will be staffed by health-care professionals. If chil-dren are lost, they will be taken to the first aid building by a secu-rity member.

For those who may need a little help getting around, a mo-bility assistance shuttle will be running throughout the festival. For more information, head to the security stations set up at the main and west gates.

There will also be disabled parking located on the west side of the grounds, on Fifth Street SW.

Any missing items can be

retrieved at the lost and found booth set up across from the food vendors.

With a purchase of a $6 wine tasting ticket, festivalgoers can sample fine Okanagan and Shus-wap wines in a relaxed oasis setting. Participating wineries include Summerhill, Sonoran Ranch, Ovino and Recline Ridge.

The Vine Bar will be open on Saturday and Sunday from noon to 8 p.m. with wine tastings from 1:30 until 4 p.m.

Unique, handmade Canadian creations will again be featured in the popular artisan market. More than 30 vendors will set up shop and sell their one-of-a-kind products. Festival-appropriate tie-dye creations, exotic jewelry, glass works, and custom furni-ture are just a few things that will be available to shoppers at the festival.

Protect yourself and your kids with sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, protective clothing and foot-wear. Also, dont forget to stay hydrated. There are water refill stations throughout the site and misting stations to help cool you down.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District elec-toral area directors (EAD) have approved a policy amendment that prevents the awarding of grants three-months prior to election time.

At the Aug. 7 meet-ing in Salmon Arm, Jodi Kooistra, CSRD manager of Finance, advised EAD direc-tors that Policy F-30 Electoral Grants-in-Aid would replace two policies, with the only substantive difference being the formaliza-tion of not giving them out within the last three months prior to an elec-tion.

But the rural direc-tors asked that the amendment also in-clude a mechanism to provide greater ac-countability.

First up to the plate with comments was Area D director Ren Talbot, who requested some flexibility in the case of an emergency, where a community group might have a dangerous situation such as a collapsing roof, or where waiting three months might prevent a group from leveraging other fund-ing.

Area C director Paul Demenok supported flexibility on the three-month issue but asked that accountability on

the part of the recipi-ents be notched up in the form of documenta-tion that shows projects for which the money is requested are com-pleted.

Talbot noted he keeps his eye on grant- in-aid projects and demanded the money be returned when a Ranchero proj-ect was not completed within three years.

But Demenok ar-gued his electoral area is huge and more popu-lated, and he has many grant-in-aid requests.

This led chief admin-istrative officer Charles

Hamilton to ask if the regional district should have a grants-in-aid program.

Lots of other juris-dictions dont, includ-ing the TNRD, he said. These are from tax revenue. Should it be used to re-distribute income?

Area A director Loni Parker said she hasnt collected a grant in aid for the last two years.

I have opted to not accrue it for the last two years in order to

keep taxes down, she said. Youre not going to get money willy-nil-ly because there is no willy-nilly money.

Demenok however was of another mind.

A lot of services are done by groups and if you remove all those funds, youd open a can of worms, he said, pointing out many of CSRD-owned halls are operated and maintained by service groups. But I want to see a reconciliation signed by a director be-fore they get any mon-ey ever again.

Area E director and chair of the meeting Rhona Martin support-ed retaining the pro-gram and pointed out many other regional districts have discre-tionary funds, which do the same thing.

Leave them where they are, its not a large amount of money of-ten but if we remove grants in aid, I have a lot of groups that would die off.

Area F Larry Mor-gan was not disposed to

discussing an end to the program either.

The program is heavily used and sup-ports many facilities throughout Area F and is an invaluable tool to support the commu-nity, he said. Coming back to Pauls com-ments, theres no fol-low through. Ive got money going out to many places and I think there needs to be fol-low through, but I dont want to be the person who has to go out there to check it.

Hamilton expressed some concern about the amount of staff time that might be expend-ed.

Both Hamilton and the directors, support-ed Kooistras recom-mendation to endorse an amendment to the grant-in-aid policy that would preclude hand-ing them out in the three months prior to an election and those that exceed $2,000 would require greater accountability.

What I would like to do when the cheque is issued, is include a let-ter saying you agreed to provide documenta-tion and you must pro-vide it no later than 90 days, she said.

Directors will con-sider specific post ap-plication documenta-tion and certification requirements will be included in the August agenda.

While no one on city council has argued a remuneration increase isnt overdue, there is disagreement over the amount and when it takes effect.

On Monday, council gave three readings to a bylaw which, as of Jan 1, 2015, will increase the council-lors remuneration from $15,000 to $21,660, (a 44.4 per cent increase), and the mayors pay from $44,800 to $53,725 (19 per cent). This process stems from a survey of remuneration levels in other, similarly sized B.C. municipalities. The surveys author, Maurice Lamb of Lamb and Asso-ciates, found remuneration rates for Salmon Arms mayor and council which havent been increased since 2003 to be below the survey aver-age. Council supported the increases, as well as a recommendation to adjust remuneration annually based on the B.C. Consumer Price Index, noting it would benefit the next council.

Coun. Marg Kentel, however, op-posed the increase for council hap-pening all at once, suggesting it be spread out over the four-year term. She reiterated this at Mondays coun-cil meeting when expressing opposi-tion to the three readings.

This time around, Kentels wasnt the lone voice of dissent. Coun. Ken Jamieson agreed, arguing the increase is warranted but should be spread out.

My views are very similar to Coun. Kentels, said Jamieson. Im not against an increase for council. I have the luxury of looking back to 1987/88 when I was first on council and we worked for almost nothing and the job was pretty light.

If I were to compare the two jobs now, 25 years apart The amount of work that councillors do and the mayor theres no comparison. The amount of work is incredible some-times.

Coun. Denise Reimer who, like Kentel, is not running for re-election in November, supported the bylaw that kicks in Jan. 1, arguing remu-neration levels should have been ad-justed over the past decade. She also expressed the hope the increase might attract a greater diversity of people to run for council.

Coun. Alan Harrison wasnt op-posed to Kentels idea, but argued for taking pressure off the next council.

I think we want to take that piece away, so that it gets done. Were up to par and we now have a plan on how to keep the remuneration fair with the average, said Harrison.

There are certain songs that, when I hear them, well, I have this strong, sud-den overwhelming desire to simply drop whatever it is Im doing and head for the great outdoors.

Sometimes I dont make it much further than my own backyard, but be that as it may. Not that I can or would literally drop things right then and there and take off, but the point is that I do have the desire.

Songs like Joni Mitchells River or The River, Mother Nature and Me by Jenny Lester or Sailing Down This Golden River, which was written by Pete Seeger and recorded by Arlo Guthrie, all make me want to be free of the shackles of my ur-ban existence. When I hear songs like that, all I want to do is stand on the banks of a stream somewhere and ei-ther cast a line to a distant run or riffle, or breathe in the mountain air, smell the scent of cedar and listen to the sound of the water as it flows along over the rocks.

If Im driving along and a song like Rocky Moun-tain High or Take Me Home

Country Road, both by John Denver, comes on the radio, I feel like pulling into the nearest service station, filling up the gas tank and heading out on the open road much in the same way that Four Strong Winds by Ian and Sylvia makes me want to go down by the ocean to stand on the rocks and watch the waves roll in.

Sometimes Ill put on Jimi Hendrixs version of Catfish Blues just to bring back memories of cat fish-ing on the Red River in Manitoba. Its been a long, long time since I tied into a big old 30-pound catfish, but the memories are still quite vivid.

Here Comes The Sun by the Beatles not only re-

minds me of my teenage years, but also of the first time I stayed up at Dee Lake.

That was a good 25 years ago now.

Duff was a young dog back then, full of energy, curious, with a sense of ad-venture.

I have fond memories of getting up, opening the cabin door and looking out at the lake. I can still close my eyes and feel the warmth of the sun on my face. I remember standing there in the doorway, wait-ing and watching as the sun burned the morning mist off the lakes surface.

The very first time I heard Bob Dylan singing A Song To Woody, I became a Dylan fan. I think I proba-bly know the words to more than half his songs and he has written a heck of a lot of songs. Blowin In The Wind still strikes a chord with me.

About the same time I also became a Woody Guthrie fan. This Land Is Your Land is the kind of song that just sort of lingers in the back of your mind, and just sort of steps for-

ward every now and then, of its own volition. I think Ive sung that song more than once at a do in some-ones living room when the stories start flowing and the musical instruments come out.

How many times have the words to Lake Marie or Speed Of The Sound Of Loneliness by John Prine come to mind while Ive been sitting out in my boat on a lake, casting my line to disinterested fish. There are quite a lot of songs that rat-tle around inside my head. The Big Rock Candy Moun-tain, originally recorded in 1928 by Harry McClintock, has been rattling around in there for well over half a century. Thats a long time for anything to stay in a per-sons mind and memory.

English playwright Wil-liam Congreve wrote in The Mourning Bride that mu-sic hath charms to soothe a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.

All I know is how I feel when I listen to certain songs and how I feel when Im in the great outdoors.

OPINION

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

James Murray

Songs that rattle around in my head

The recent Mount Polley mine tailing pond breach in Likely, B.C. should serve as a warning to all of us, none more so than those in charge of granting mining licences.

While media and political parties point the finger of blame this way and that, the bigger question is who will pay for the cleanup? Very likely, the majority of the bill will be footed by taxpayers.

Sure, Imperial Metals, which owns the Mount Polley mine., is apt to be slapped with a hefty fine some reports are suggesting amounts up to $1 mil-lion but that would barely begin to cover the costs of reclaiming the waters, should they be deemed critically contaminated.

There was a comparable tailings pond breach in the state of Tennessee in 2008 (Kingston Fossil Plant). More than six years later, restoration efforts continue. Some estimates have the total costs of that cleanup to be in excess of $1.2 billion U.S.

So what does all this mean to Vancouver Island? Could it happen here? The answer, of course, is yes. It could happen anywhere there are tailing ponds.

The requests for exploratory site testing by mine companies is an ongoing issue with the various Island governances, Comox Valley Regional District included. In fact, in June, the CVRD submitted a letter to the Ministry of Energy and Mines, express-ing concern over a proposed site testing by a mining company in the Woodhus Creek/Oyster River area and requested that no coal licence be issued to the company in question.

Consider it a proactive approach.Some economists were undoubtedly crying foul

over the decision, upset at the number of potential jobs being lost by such a request.

But its a far cry more economically sound than the reactive approach being incorporated in regards to the disaster in Likely.

One has to wonder where Hildegard Krieg gets her information on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (letter, Shus-wap Market News, Aug. 8).

She refers to the UN and the U.S. having for decades unsuccess-fully tried to settle the differences between the two countries. What two countries? Gaza is not a country.

Gaza and the West Bank are Palestinian territories that Israel has occupied militar-ily since 1967. Two unanimous UN Secu-rity Council resolu-tions and numerous

UN General Assembly resolutions have called for Israels withdrawal from those territories so that the Palestinians may have their own state alongside Israel.

But Israel continues to occupy the West Bank and maintains a blockade on Gaza that keeps more than 1.5 million people in an open-air prison. In defiance of interna-tional law, Israel builds hundreds of Jew-ish settlements in the West Bank, demolish-ing Palestinian homes, bulldozing their farms and orchards, and con-structing a wall that

makes Palestinians lives a misery. This is the face of Israels vio-lence against the Pales-tinian people.

Not surprisingly, the Palestinians resist, and to be fair, the vast majority of Palestinian resistance has always been unarmed resis-tance. But its the vio-lent, armed resistance that gets the attention. Sadly, it also gives voice to those who seek to demonize the Pales-tinians and persuade the world that Israel is under existential threat.

Speaking in Toronto last October, Israeli author and peace activ-

ist, Miko Peled, said this feeling of existen-tial threat is being kept alive in order to justify Israels hold on terri-tories and its mistreat-ment of the Palestin-ians, and to maintain the ongoing militariza-tion of Israel as a state and as a society. He en-couraged Canadians to support the Palestinian cause, which he said is the side of justice.

Its past time to rec-ognize that peace and security for Israelis de-pends on commensu-rate peace and security for the Palestinians.

In his article, How Parks Came to Be (Shuswap Market News, Aug. 8), Jim Cooperman omitted a very important part of the development of community parks in the North Shuswap.

Roger Beardmores park plan became an election issue.

In 2005, the voters of the North Shuswap chose Denis Delisle over Mr. Cooperman by a large margin.

Director Delisle rec-ognized that a focus on community parks was not the right way to spend local tax dol-lars when we still did not have an official community plan, and

our basic infrastructure was in trouble.

We are fortunate to have many wonderful provincial parks in the North Shuswap (Rod-erick Haig-Brown, Shuswap Lake Provin-cial Park, Albas and Silver Beach to name a few).

Director Delisle al-lowed the regional parks plan to proceed, but at a more con-trolled pace.

I still think it is silly to spend hundreds of thousands of local tax dollars landscaping and putting signs up on land leased from high-ways so we can call road ends parks.

I note Director

(Paul) Demenok is ask-ing the people of the South Shuswap again if they like their focus on parks by sending students door to door to residents of Area C.

Interesting that when the Area C Parks Plan was adopted in 2003, it was a 20-year plan and Demenok tells us it is nearly complete in half that time.

I wonder what could have been done in the South Shuswap if those tax dollars were not focused on parks.

Jim Cooperman writes as if he is an au-thority, but we must all remember his articles are opinion pieces, and often are used to pro-

mote his agendas and his lobby group SEAS.

The time for talking is over.

It will be up to Columbia Shuswap Regional District di-rectors to decide the development course for Blind Bay Resort.

A capacity crowd of those for and against had an opportunity un-til the end of a public hearing last Wednes-day to express their opinions and concerns.

The large collection of letters, emails, etc. will now be compiled, verified to make sure there is no duplica-tion and presented in a report to the board in September by CSRD senior planner Dan Passmore.

Area C director Paul Demenok opened the meeting by advising the crowd that he is nei-ther for nor against de-veloper Dan Baskills plans for his resort on

Blind Bay Road.I am officially neu-

tral as I am going to be going into and coming out of the meeting, he said. I will take in all the opinions and data, and will do as much as possible to make sure decisions are based on facts

All other electoral area directors were in attendance to hear pub-lic sentiment first hand.

Following Deme-noks reminder that the Aug. 6 event was a public hearing, not a debate, Passmore read out amendments that will be needed for the development to pro-ceed.

He noted that Baskill had further responded to concerns he had heard by agreeing to a restrictive covenant that would preclude the rental of water toys or pumping waste from boats.

Comments for and against seemed to be

fairly balanced with those voting in favour of the development earning more enthusi-astic applause.

Several people who have already bought into the resort many of whom have visited the Shuswap for many years supported the development for its de-sign, amenities, clean-liness and operation.

Several others sup-ported the develop-ment, adamant South Shuswap needs devel-opments such as Blind Bay Resort in order to improve the economy so young families dont have to leave the area.

Several people were OK with the develop-ment on the south side of Blind Bay Road but strongly opposed to the proposed 19 RV lots on the waterfront, which is currently zoned sin-gle-family.

Others opposed the development on the

basis that the new of-ficial community plan adopted in March took eight years to complete and public input clear-ly opposed foreshore development.

Still others expressed concerns about the proposed length of the dock, increased boat activity in an already busy bay and deterio-rating water quality.

Several longtime residents and visitors reported seeing steady deterioration over the years, and one com-plained that property values have deteriorat-ed as a result.

But another long-time resident reported the resorts state-of-the-art waste manage-ment system, which he said he has examined closely, will reduce the impact on the bay and blamed the worsening water conditions on a plethora of inefficient and leaking septic beds near the foreshore.

Mixed reaction to proposalBy Barb BrouwerMARKET NEWS STAff

n Blind Bay Resort owner Dan Baskill points out the advantages of a proposal to expand his devel-opment during a public hearing last Wednesday.

Travel and expenses fuelled more than an hour of discus-sion at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Electoral Area Directors meeting Aug. 7.

The corporate policy, adopted in 1981 and never amended, was presented by CSRD staff at the July 17 regional district board meeting, but deferred at the re-quest of the rural area directors, who said the policy affects them more than the municipal direc-tors.

Finance manager Jodi Koo-istra sought amendments on the policy that affects both staff and directors because there are cur-rently no guidelines that set lim-its on meal expenditures, room upgrades or partner programs. As well, there is a lack of consis-tency in how expense claims are processed.

Kooistra made clear that meal expenses for business outside of CSRD limits are on a strictly per diem basis. Within CSRD limits, detailed receipts are required to prevent fraudulent use of the per diem.

Were not trying to be food and beverage Nazis but we want to get the GST back and without getting original receipts showing what was purchased and when, we cant, she said. The per diem gives a high degree of ac-countability.

But Area D director Ren Tal-bot and Area C director Paul De-menok were not in favour of a per diem anywhere.

When it comes to meals, I al-ways try to get itemized receipts, said Talbot. On occasion Ive lost them and if I cant find them, I eat the bill.

I think the travel and expense policy needs to be tight, added Demenok. I dont like per diem because it could be interpreted that directors are being paid. I

dont like that tone and I think we should have receipts for ev-erything.

Demenok later agreed to a per diem but suggested it be $80 per day within CSRD boundaries, and $100 out of town to accom-modate often higher costs.

Following a spate of questions and comments regarding direc-tors responsibility in choosing the cheapest mode of transporta-tion, hotels and meals, Kooistra reiterated the policy declares di-rectors and staff are expected to utilize the most cost-effective method of travel considering time, convenience and safety.

Chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton confirmed CSRD has access to government rates.

What is difficult, is people like to make their own travel ar-rangements, or decide where they want to stay, he said. People go out and book a room at a higher rate, and this got to the point we were seeing such discrepancies with conference rates compared with what some of the directors were incurring.

In terms of air fare, Hamilton ad-vised directors he would have no problem approving a fully re-fundable economy fare.

We dont think you should have to dig into your own pock-ets, but, at the same time, we dont think you should fill your pockets at CSRD expense.

This did not sit particularly well with area F director Larry Morgan.

I would think the previous policy didnt need fixing, but do think it needed better definition, he said. I thought there was some latitude in claims and how they were paid and I think were

starting to nit pickRegard-less of what has been said in the press, I dont think any one of us has been pulling a fast one.

Morgan had been under the impression that directors were expected to have significant oth-ers accompany them to confer-ences and take part in partner programs at taxpayers expense. He was visibly angry to hear it would be up to staff and directors to pay such expenses themselves.

My wife is on the phone con-stantly with people; shes taking calls some not so positive, di-recting people or taking mes-sages and, to me, its a slap in the face to people like my wife he said. I want to see a policy to accommodate the efforts of spouses.

Area A Rural Revelstoke Loni Parker agreed with Morgan, call-ing her husband an adjunct to her

role as director.It is dishearten-

ing when youre gonna cut off half of you in the commu-nity, she said.

Switching gears, Talbot asked that as electoral area directors are most affected, the travel and expense policy should pertain only to the EAD.

But Kooistra noted there is no language in staffs unionized contracts to cover travel and ex-penses, and Area E director and chair of the meeting Rhona Mar-tin pointed out that expenses of municipal directors who are ap-pointed to certain committees are paid by CSRD.

I think most of us have been playing within the rules but this just gives clarity, noted Martin, who was absent from the July 17 board meeting.

The directors agreed unani-mously to forward the policy to the board for further discussion.

Ebola is a truly frightening disease, with a fatality rate as high as 95 percent (al-though the death rate in the current outbreak in West Africa is only 55-60 percent).

At the moment, it is largely confined to a heavily forested inland area where the borders of Liberia, Sierra Le-one and Guinea meet, although cases have already appeared in the capital cities of all three countries.

It could get much worse.

If ebola success-fully made the jump to a more prosperous, densely populated country like Nigeria, whose citizens travel all over the world, the current 800 recorded deaths could become 8,000, or 80,000, or even more. And the worst of it is that there is no effective vaccine or treatment for ebola.

Let me rephrase that. There is no ap-proved vaccine or treat-ment for ebola. There are candidates, some of which have shown promising results when tested on non-human primates. But they havent gone through the full testing process that is necessary before they are approved for human use, because nobody was willing to

pay for it.The normal pro-

cedure in the United States, home to more than half of the worlds major drug companies (Big Pharma), is that basic research for new drugs may be paid for by government grants or even by private phi-lanthropy (like Bill Gatess $200 million donation for research on a malaria vaccine), but the work of bring-ing the drugs to market is left to the commer-cial companies. All too often, they simply cant be bothered.

It costs hundreds of millions of dollars to take a drug through the whole approval process and put it on the mar-ket. Thats worthwhile if the drug will then sell at a high cost and be used regularly over long periods of time: a drug that fights rich peoples diseases like cancer or heart disease, say, or even something like Viagra. But a one-shot vaccine that would mainly be used by poor Africans will never make a profit, so it is ignored.

Galvanized by the panic over ebola, the National Institutes of Health in the United States has now sched-uled phase one trials of an ebola vaccine on hu-man subjects for next month. But there are two more phases after that, and the earliest a vaccine could be ap-proved for general use is next July. And even in this emergency, its public money, not Big Pharma, that is funding the research.

The problem goes much wider than ebola and other tropical dis-

eases. It extends, unfor-tunately, to the antibiot-ics that vanquished the bacterial infections that were once responsible for about 25 percent of adult deaths. The last new class of anti-biotics, carbapenems, was approved in 1980. Since then, nothing even though the useful-ness of existing antibi-otics is rapidly eroding as resistant strains of bacteria emerge.

Thats a big threat, but antibiotics are still not big money-makers, as they are used for rel-atively short periods of time to fight some spe-cific infection. So no new type of antibiotic has been developed by Big Pharma for more than three decades. A minimum of 23,000 people in the United States died last year of infections that would once have been easily ended by antibiotics; in the European Union the total was 25,000.

There are some measures that would dramatically slow the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Far fewer prescriptions should be written for antibiotics, and doctors should be monitored to ensure that they are not over-prescribing. Patients must complete any course of antibiot-ics that they begin, and report that they have done so. Over-the-counter sales of antibi-otics in countries like China and Russia must cease.

Above all, it should be a criminal offence to feed antibiotics to animals just to make them grow faster and bigger. (That is where 80 percent of the an-

tibiotics consumed in the United States go at the moment.) And even when all that has been done, the rise of antibi-otic-resistant bacteria will continue, though at a much slower pace. Bacterial resistance is an evolutionary pro-cess that can only be slowed, not stopped.

So we desperately need new antibiot-ics, and there are none forthcoming. With-out them, warned Dame Sally Davies, chief medical officer for England, Mod-ern medicine would quickly go out of the window.

Almost all surgery, including things as commonplace as cae-sarian sections and hip replacements, and most cancer treatments as well, involve a signifi-cant risk of infection that must be controlled by antibiotics.

As Prime Minister David Cameron told The Times: If we fail to act...we are cast back into the Dark Ages of medicine, where treat-able infections and injuries will kill once again.

Yet Big Pharma will not fill the gap, for those companies are answerable to their shareholders, not to the public.

The case for direct state intervention to fi-nance the development of the vaccines and an-tibiotics that the com-mercial sector neglects is overwhelming. And very urgent.

Sicamous could see the establishment of a satellite firehall with the development of Old Town Bay.

The District of Si-camous and contrac-tor, Urban Systems, are conducting an of-ficial community plan development permit review, identifying po-tential issues and where theres need for updat-ing.

Community planning officer Mike Marrs told council at the last com-mittee of the whole meeting that, based on what hes seen in a pre-liminary report, the is-sues are fairly straight-

forward. However, he did express concern re-garding Old Town Bay and the need to look at extending district services. In particular, Marrs indicated an ob-ligation to provide fire protection.

If we get major development happen-ing out in that end of the community, the response time is go-ing to be more than 10 minutes, said Marrs. Under the develop-ment code, anything beyond 10 minutes has ramifications from a cost perspective on de-velopment.

Marrs told coun-cil that, in negotiation with Old Town Bays upland developers, he

has made it very clear that we are going to be looking for a satellite fire department over in Old Town Bay.

For various reasons, the least of which is the building code re-quirement, you know, a 10 minute response or less, said Marrs, but also because that area is cut off from our local fire depart-ment through the CPR railroad. If something happens there, theyve got to be able to get across.

Marrs said this is something that needs to be planned for. As for the review, Marrs said he hopes to pres-ent a report to council as soon as possible.

n The Sicamous-Solsqua Road rail crossing poses a potential impediment to fire response.

From our pristine lakes, rushing rivers, world-class golf cours-es, relaxing spas and charming towns and people, its a no-brainer that the Shuswap is tru-ly an incredible place to call home. August is Staycation month in B.C., an opportunity to consider staying close to home and experi-encing the beauty and adventure that can be found right here in the Shuswap and North Okanagan.

There are so many events taking place here this month, from the Roots & Blues Fes-tival featuring a great line-up of artists this year, and the famous Caravan Farm The-atre in Armstrong that is guaranteed fun and laughs for your family. Camping and RVing is spectacular here, or maybe consider a quick getaway at one of the many fine bed and

breakfasts in the Shus-wap.

When you choose to staycation, it means that you are supporting one of our most important economic generators tourism. The sector impacts our households either directly or in-directly through jobs, summer employment opportunities for stu-dents, or increased sales at restaurants and locally-owned shops from tourists and visi-tors coming to our re-gion all year round.

Tourism is one of the eight key sectors of our BC Jobs Plan as it is one of one of the largest economic drivers in the province. Throughout B.C., tourism contrib-utes $7.1 billion to our GDP and funds $1.2 billion in tax revenue, funding programs and services to all British Columbians.

So if you are con-sidering staycation, be sure to check out Des-tination B.C. at hellobc.com.

And finally, while you are exploring your own backyard, be sure take a picture and use the hashtag, #Stay-cationBC and #ex-ploreBC to show the world the beauty and wonder of what the Shuswap has to offer.
