Council drops Canada Day fireworks
B.C. Day: Proposed move prompts heated debate of tradition vs. economy. By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
Canada Day in Sicamous may not be the same now that district council has decided to move the annual fireworks display to the August long weekend. The decision was a result of a three-way split in council when voting on a motion to hold fireworks on July 1. Couns. Fred Busch, Charlotte Hutchinson and Joan Thomson were in favour; Couns. Don Richardson, Terry Rysz and Mayor Darrell Trouton were against. According to the Local Government Act, when the number of votes, including the vote of the person presiding, are equal, the motion is defeated. And so, the fireworks display will be held on the B.C. Day long weekYou only have so end at the beginning of much money in the August, as it was last pot, and…when you summer when the Candon’t have a program ada Day event had to be postponed on account of that’s being funded completely you have flooding. Prior to council’s de- to find it from other cision, two surveys were sources. Fred Busch conducted on the idea Councillor of permanently moving the fireworks display to August. The first was conducted by the Sicamous chamber. Of the 30 per cent of chamber members who responded, 70 per cent favoured the move, and 27 per cent asked that fireworks be kept on Canada Day. In the second survey, conducted by the district, 66 of the respondents voted to keep fireworks on Canada Day, while 60 wanted them moved to August. Though the result of council’s vote may be indisputable, Busch, Hutchinson and Thomson debated its necessity in the first place. “It was never my understanding by having the fireworks last year on the August long weekend that

Rising water: Shuswap Emergency Program responds to threat.
By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
A million dollars may not have been enough to tame Sicamous Creek. Last week, excavators could be seen strategically stacking large rocks in specific areas along the creek, further enhancing previous restoration work done by the province following the June 23 debris flow. This was after the Shuswap Emergency Program (SEP), in partnership with the District of Sicamous, established an emergency operations centre on May 9 so as
to access $217,000 in provincial funding through Emergency Management B.C. “By three o’clock, we were activating the emergency operations centre, not that there was any real need for a whole bunch of things to occur at that point, but when you activate the emergency operations centre you can tap into provincial money, and provincial funds are useful for situations like this when you don’t have to rely on District of Sicamous taxpayer dollars,” SEP co-ordinator Cliff Doherty explained last week in a presentation to council.
Doherty had been working with the district since May 8, after a meeting was requested by district operations manager Randy Hand in regard to the water level in the creek and the rainfall forecast. On the same day, a number of actions took place, including a helicopter flight over the creek. “We had submissions going forward to the province for $50,000 to do some temporary emergency works because there were real fears that one side of Sicamous Creek… might be wearing away at the banks,” said Doherty.
Engineers were brought in and three projects were identified, totalling $217,000, with the most pressing estimated at $58,000. Discussions ensued as to whether the repairs would be temporary or permanent. The province eventually chose to approve the $58,000 “ to do those temporary works in Sicamous Creek to the benefit of the community.” On May 15, a proposal for two other projects were submitted, but initially denied. Doherty said more information and “justification,”

Man charged with sexual assault, confinement A Sicamous man is facing several charges including sexual assault, unlawful confinement, as well as weapons-related charges following a recent police search of a Martin Street residence. Quincy Jerrod Kazakoff, 40, is currently in police custody as a
result of an RCMP investigation that began over a week ago. Sicamous RCMP Sgt. Dave Dubnyk says police executed a search of the Martin Street residence on Tuesday, May 21. “The search was done in conjunction with an investigation into a number of
incidents which occurred over the previous weekend,” reports Dubnyk. During the search, investigators found and seized a number of weapons including a compound bow, a crossbow, arrows and numerous knives. Dubnyk says that as a result of “week-
end incidents,” and the subsequent police investigation, Kazakoff was arrested and has since been charged with sexual assault with a weapon, unlawful confinement or imprisonment, assault with a weapon, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and mischief under $5,000.
Sawed-off
In an unrelated matter, Sicamous RCMP searched another local residence, in which they located and seized a sawed-off shotgun. Dubnyk says this is a prohibited weapon, and possession of such a firearm is against the law. Police continue to investigate this matter.

In a presentation made back in February to Swansea Point residents regarding proposed repairs for Hummingbird Creek, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure district manager Murray Tekano stated the province had spent about a $1 million to do Sicamous Creek. Elaborating on the
situation, Mayor Darrell Trouton said the district felt the riprap work done by the province didn’t go high enough in the areas of concern. “It’s not that we’re expecting a flood-type of year or anything like we had last year,” said Trouton. “These are precautionary measures that we felt

Canada Day event funding now at risk Music: Fireworks decision may bring about end to entertainment. By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
The future of Sicamous’ Canada Day celebration is in question following council’s decision to move the fireworks display to the August long weekend. While Sicamous Mayor Darrell Trouton assured council that Canada Day is not being cancelled, the Eagle Valley Arts Council, who co-ordinates the musical acts, including the band on the barge, will be taking a huge step back. For without the fireworks, explains
arts council treasurer Carla Krens, there’s no point in providing the entertainment. “We cannot float a band on July 1st with nothing else following it… there’s just not going to be enough people there. It’s just not worth it,” says Krens. Krens says that up until 2004, the arts council was responsible for collecting money to host the fireworks display. That responsibility was briefly taken over by the Sicamous Lions before going to the district. But the arts council
Carla Krens Eagle Valley Arts Council still provides the entertainment, funded with a federal grant through Heritage Canada. Krens says this funding comes with the requirement that it be used for July 1st. She says last year an exception was made because of the flooding events the community
was experiencing. “We were allowed to spend the money in August; however, that was a rare occasion and they were extremely cooperative with us,” says Krens. “I don’t know how much money I’m getting this year because I was late, but we do get a substantial sum towards our entertainment, and that’s what we’ve been financing our entertainment with, the band on the barge or music on the lake.” Krens says the arts council will still plan to hold its annual Canada
Day arts show at the Red Barn. But, with regard to the federal funding, she says it’s too late to make arrangements for anything else. “To change gears this quickly, it would have been sort of OK if it had been next year, but this year is out of the question,” says Krens. “So, by the time I get acknowledgement from Heritage Canada about our funding, I’ll have to send back the cheque because I cannot use it for anything else but Canada Day celebrations.”
Mayor argues economic advantage of B.C. Day fireworks Continued from front
this was now going to stay that way…,” commented Busch. “ We couldn’t have them last year because the park was partially flooded, and it was going to be inconvenient for people to come and watch it. But there was never any motion made that now the fireworks will forever and a day be on the August long weekend.” Council minutes reflect Busch’s comment that no formal decision was made to move the fireworks display to the August long weekend. But Mayor Darrell Trouton had a different take. “We moved the date of the fireworks last year to the August long weekend. It is still on the August long weekend. If we want to make a motion to move it, we can, but at this point in time it’s still the August long weekend,” said Trouton, adding the move was a huge success last year, and “I don’t feel we should move it back.” Trouton later explained how he arrived at his position – a process that included discussions with Shuswap Tourism and the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA). He explained how on Canada Day, Sicamous competes with the South Shuswap and
Canada Day celebrations in Bind Bay, as well as events in Chase and Enderby. “Long story short, they felt that us leaving fireworks on the August long weekend would be an opportunity for the neighbouring communities to partake in our fireworks, because they’re not on the same date,” said Trouton. Another benefit of having the fireworks in August, Trouton, explained, is that Sicamous would have the undivided support of TOTA. “Having fireworks (in August), we’re looking at a parade and bringing back Moose Mouse Days, and looking at having a large ball tournament as well as other events,” he said. “All in all, the opportunity is TOTA and the Shuswap Tourism association – there aren’t any big events that weekend, and they now have an opportunity to showcase Sicamous to Western Canada basically on our behalf, because we’re not necessarily competing with anybody else on that weekend.” This argument did not sit well with Busch, who argued the Canada Day fireworks display wasn’t originally intended for economic gain, but to be a celebration by and for the community. In their defence,
Busch and Thomson raised the result of the district survey. But Trouton argued that even with the surveys, council still “did not have the community’s support in moving the fireworks back to Canada Day.” “I feel that we have a special-interest group or small-interest group that is trying to speak louder, but I think in general, we represent the community at large as council up here…,” said Trouton. Busch countered with his own assertion that another special-interest group is pushing to have the fireworks show in August – local businesses. “There has not been one person who has
talked to me who is in favour of having it on the August long weekend,” said Busch. “Now, I realize that you are mayor and people will talk to you much more readily than they will to me, but I say the special-interest group that is really driving this is the interest group from the businesspeople, and I can’t see any reason why we have to have this on the August long weekend because it’s already a busy weekend.” Trouton later argued, however, that though the August long weekend may be busy, local businesses are not. “I understand the houseboat companies are busy this year, and I understand that Askew’s will be busy, but if you
walk up and down our street, there’s a tremendous amount of other, smaller businesses that (need) as many people in our short, summer opportunity time to make a go of it in our community,” said Trouton. “We have businesses shutting down left and right in our community, and if we want to continue in that direction, just keep doing what we’re doing.”

Nowhere safe to run for Premier Christy Clark
A
s the dust settles on the B.C. provincial election, Premier Christy Clark just might be in a no-win situation. On the heels of her party’s decisive victory May 14, the B.C. Liberal leader’s unheralded celebration was tempered by the loss of her own right-wing-friendly Vancouver-Point Grey riding to New Democrat David Eby. It is open to conjecture whether her failure to win in her borrowed provincial riding — handpicked when former premier Gordon Campbell resigned mid-term — was a statement against Clark, against her party, for Eby, for his party, or a combination of these factors, vote splitting, apathy and more. Regardless, Clark must now find a ‘safe’ riding in which to run. And this is where voters’ exacerbated distrust of politicians — all politicians — will make this a tougher sell, regardless of how friendly the riding is. It will require one of 50 election-night victors from among her party faithful to resign, telling voters, “thanks but no thanks” just days after coming to us cap in hand. It will also require Clark to tell these same voters she unabashedly counts on their support, despite, presumably, spending little time in their riding before now. No doubt, one of the newly elected MLAs in the Lower Mainland will step aside for the premier. But one can only imagine voters’ reaction if Clark tried to strong-arm her way in, even if the chosen candidate shamelessly tries to convince us she/he is on board. While some may have voted for the winning candidate solely because of Clark’s leadership, a great many more did so because they feared a left-leaning government — for them, the greater of two evils. Now that this fear has evaporated, these votes, too, are up in the air. — Black Press

BCTF digs in for fight against province By Tom Fletcher News Columnist
VICTORIA – Like those Japanese soldiers who didn’t hear about the end of World War II, the militant fringe that controls the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is digging in for endless battle against the B.C. government. Their nemesis, Premier Christy Clark, reiterated last week that seeking a 10-year agreement with the BCTF is a top priority when the legislature is recalled this summer. The current one-year truce ends June 30. The BCTF grudgingly agreed to that extension last year, then ran TV ads calling for an NDP government that promised concessions and union bosses on both sides of the negotiating table. “You know, I may be a lame duck,” outgoing BCTF president Susan Lambert crowed to cheering classroom-warfare radicals at the union’s convention in March, “but I think
Christy’s goose is cooked.” We’ll never know how much this sort of gloating contributed to the epic collapse of the NDP, champion of public sector union members whose pay and benefits make them the new upper class. But I can tell you the prospects for sparing children from this ideological warfare are not good. Last week the B.C. Court of Appeal handed down a that upheld the “right” of teachers to bring their union demands into the classroom in the form of posters, buttons and black armbands that to some self-absorbed teachers symbolize the “death” of education. During the election campaign, The Globe and Mail carried a story on one of those mock elections held in schools around the province. An elementary-level student was quoted as saying she voted against the B.C. Liberals because Clark “caused a teachers’ strike.” If this kid was talking about the most recent strike, I wonder where she

got that idea. In a negotiating performance that was appalling even by BCTF standards, Lambert and her team conducted months of disruptive work-to-rule action before they could even articulate a wage and benefit demand. An indication of how the union’s ruling class wants to conduct itself in the classroom can be found in the latest issue of the BCTF newsletter to its members. Joanna Larson, president of the Prince Rupert union local, contributes an article headlined: “What kind of citizen do we hope to graduate from our K-12 public schools?” Larson first quotes the education ministry’s current goals. They include preparing citizens who are “creative, flexible, self-motivated, and who have a positive self-image.” Another goal is citizens who are “skilled and who can contribute to society generally, including the world of work.” Larson then mocks these goals, as follows:

“Essentially, the Ministry of Education has a vision of citizens who will maintain the status quo, not rock the boat, and participate on a superficial level in aspects of political and societal change. It doesn’t challenge individuals to take direct action against exploitation, marginalization and violence.” In case you missed the political message, Larson later asserts: “The educated citizens we graduate from our schools cannot just be content to wear a pink shirt once a year…. Educated, engaged citizens must be willing to take direct action to change and shape our society for the better.” What is this ghastly “status quo” that must be challenged by “direct action?” In these campusradical screeds, the final answer is generally the same: capitalism. This call to arms is a blend of the NDP election platform and a rant from the Occupy Vancouver squat of a couple of years ago.

Difficult decisions ahead for MLA There will be many difficult decisions ahead for our newly elected Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo. His professional life, his time on Sicamous council, and the recent campaign have no doubt given Kyllo plenty of preparation for what lies ahead in provincial politics, where even the most seemingly negligible decisions can make waves. One thing that’s already been determined is the location of his constituency office. Not yet sworn in, Kyllo explained in a brief email that he plans to stay in the same location, which I took to be former MLA George Abbott’s office in the heart of downtown Salmon Arm. It’s a location, with a warmly-lit space inside for photo ops, and ample space on the street for protests.
IN pLAIN vIEw lachlan labere
(There have been plenty of each over the years.) I can’t see why Salmon Arm wouldn’t be grateful to have the Shuswap’s newest MLA maintain a presence in the community. But here’s the rub: Kyllo’s hometown of Sicamous would also welcome the constituency office. A constituency office in Sicamous would mean revenue for the building owner (assuming a lease is involved) and, of course, work for
n iF
the person or persons chosen to manage the office. Geographically speaking, Sicamous is closer to the middle of the riding than any other urban centre. In terms of population numbers, Salmon Arm is a more logical choice (though Enderby is more central) along the TransCanada and Highway 97B corridors. And all of the former MLA’s files and whatnot are already in Salmon Arm, so there’s a savings in moving expenses. During his campaign, Kyllo emphasized his desire to keep work in the Shuswap and Sicamous, so that loved ones wouldn’t have to leave their hometowns to get a job. Opening the constituency office in Sicamous, in the eyes of locals, might be a positive preliminary step towards that goal.
t i d
I don’t know if Kyllo has contemplated this question, or if it’s even worth the effort. I’m sure to his many supporters it doesn’t matter where the office is, just so long as the person they voted for is doing his best to represent the Shuswap. And besides, everyone knows it’s folly to attempt to appease all. To quote John Lennon, “Trying to please everyone is impossible… You’ve just got to make the decision about what you think is your best, and do it.” On that note, we congratulate our newest MLA, Greg Kyllo, for the successful campaign and overwhelming victory. If, in the future, you should find yourself unable to decide on a matter, it might be advisable not to turn to pollsters for guidance.

It’s a bad decision. – Neil Millar Um, aren’t the Canada Day fireworks on Canada Day for a reason? Lol. I thought this was a joke when I first read it. Can’t they move the location of the fireworks, rather than the day itself? That’s like moving Christmas day to Easter just so nobody has to travel in the snow. Seriously? – Chelsey Alain We did receive one reply supporting council’s decision: I think it will be a tough adjustment for people, but a bit later in the season makes sense when it gets darker a bit earlier. The district should go the extra mile communicating this for the first few years. – Deb Heap

out on Canada Day to watch the best fireworks around and there is none! This has become a Sicamous tradition – why change it? – Vicky Klassen
{ {
The fireworks should remain on Canada Day if the beach isn’t flooded. – Shauna Radzke
{
The Eagle Valley News asked for your opinion on council’s decision to continue holding Sicamous’ fireworks display on the August long weekend instead of Canada Day. This turned out to be one of the most read and responded to posts we’ve had yet. Following are some of the responses we received: I think it’s quite unrealistic. Wasn’t the fireworks on Canada Day our way of celebrating our country becoming its own nation? I can see if the beach is flooded on Canada Day, then it makes sense to move it to August long. But just moving the fireworks for the sake of moving is lame. What about all of the people that come from out of town to celebrate with us? How do you think they would feel if they showed up to see the fireworks and there were none?

Sicamous’ West Martin-Patterson and Vernon’s Jeremy Bell were the team to beat at Kelowna’s Lakeview Heights Tennis Club Tournament. The two were this year’s reigning team in men’s open doubles, making it five years in a row they’ve taken the top spot at this annual tournament. “In years past we’ve really had some close matches and have been lucky to win this tournament,” says MartinPatterson. “This year we really gelled as a team and were able to win most of our matches comfortably. It’s always a great time playing with a good friend and tennis partner. Winning the tournament is just icing on the cake.” Participants came
