Exhaustion setting in for Cherry Creek residents, more help needed

KAMLOOPS — Cherry Creek continues to rise, and has now completely washed out a section of Beaton Road. 

Many properties in the small community remain threatened by the high water. 

Cherry Creek resident Yvonne Hillsden says after a week of non-stop sandbagging, more manpower is desperately needed.

“What’s happening is that everyone is getting really exhausted and we just don’t have enough manpower,” Hillsden said. “The long and short of it is we’re desperately looking for volunteers and people to come help us out here.”
