Mayes recounts shootout on Parliament Hill By Richard Rolke Black Press
Colin Mayes walked into the Conservative caucus room Wednesday not realizing that within minutes, a dramatic chapter in Canadian history would unfold. The weekly gathering of government MPs had just started and Prime Minister Stephen Harper was addressing the crowd when a series of gunshots were heard just outside of the room at 9:55 a.m. “I was at the back of the room. What was happening was on the other side of the wall,” said Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP. “Most of us stood up because the first reaction is to get away from danger. We looked at where we should go.” Mayes wouldn’t get into specific details as to what occurred inside the caucus room, but says he and other MPs turned to their colleagues with law enforcement and military experience. “They are trained to react and they took charge. They organized and knew the safest place to be and we all listened to them,” he said. Harper was immediColin Mayes ately removed from the MP caucus room and taken to a safe location. “For all of us, our first reaction was to surround him and protect him,” said Mayes, who was locked down in the caucus room for seven hours. “They (security) kept us briefed but the worst time was when the shots stopped. The concern was someone would be at the door that was not friendly. But the RCMP came to the door which was a relief.” At this point, Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers had shot an armed individual just outside of the caucus rooms. “He is a hero and was the right man for the job,” said Mayes. The entire incident began just a few minutes earlier when an individual approached the honour guard at the National War Memorial and shot Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, a 24-year-old reservist in the Canadian Forces. Cirillo died from his injuries. On Thursday morning, MPs gathered at the War MeContinued on page 2

District examines Burnout financial loss Motorcycle rally: Sicamous must cover $9,100 for 2014 event. By Barb Brouwer Eagle Valley News
There will definitely be a Summer Stomp and Burnout Charity Party in Sicamous in 2015. What part the District of Sicamous will play in the organization of the burnout will be reviewed by a new council following the November municipal election. At last week’s regular council meeting, Coun. Suzanne Carpenter raised the subject of the district’s 2014 Summer Burnout Report that shows a net loss of $18,000, with the district having to absorb half of that, or $9,100. As co-organizers of the burnout with the district, the Summer Stomp Committee eats the other $9,100. But Stomp Committee member Steve Hammer says the burnout was not a loss,
getting “99.9 per cent across-the-board positive (support) from the business community.” “We were ecstatic with the event and growth, and what it’s providing for the District of Sicamous,” said Hammer, calling the event a success for the stomp event as well. “It will generate income in the coming years. It takes time to build, and we don’t look at it as a loss; we look at it as investment in the community.” Hammer said the burnout is offered free to everyone and draws crowds to downtown Sicamous. However, the burnout brings organizers no revenues other than from the beer garden. The district’s report shows expenses for the burnout included $11,029 in beer costs, $25,280 for entertainment, $8,645 for rentals and security, $4,750 for power, $500 for first aid and $100 for volunteer
appreciation. Revenues included $27,180 from beer sales, $4,425 in vendor fees and $500 in sponsorship. Back in council chambers, Carpenter asked why the Sicamous Chamber of Commerce had only a $1,400 loss when the organization organized the burnout. “Pam Beech and Michelle Wolf, community members in the audience, also questioned the financial report and Mrs. Beech wanted to know if the District of Sicamous had ever checked with the community on the impact of the Burnout and Stomp to business and the community,” wrote Carpenter in an Oct. 23 email to this newspaper. “Council has asked for a more detailed report on the losses.” Interim chief administrative officer Kelly Bennett said she thinks most people are satisfied with the event.

morial to pay tribute to Cirillo. It’s still not determined if the shooter was acting alone or is connected to radical movements in the Middle East, but Mayes insists Wednesday’s tragedy will not deter the federal government
from taking action against terrorism. “The worst thing about fear is fear alone and we won’t go into that mode. We will continue to stand for those who are oppressed,” he said, adding, though, that he is concerned that some Canadians will use the incident as an opportunity to em-
brace intolerance. “Canada is made up of different nationalities and faith groups and it has shown respect for all and it’s important to remember those values. You will always get people in society who can be radicalized or have some determination against the government.”
He admits that security on Parliament Hill must be considered. “They have always been open and public facilities and they (authorities) are reviewing the things that went right and the things that need to be improved. There may be a compromise on how the government grounds

Abbott in line for treaty commission By Tracy Hughes Eagle Valley News
Former Shuswap MLA George Abbott is likely to become the next chief commissioner of the B.C. Treaty Commission. During his time both in opposition and then in government as a member of the B.C.
Liberals, the Sicamous resident became wellknown for skilled negotiations and tackling difficult government portfolios. Abbott was B.C.’s minister of aboriginal affairs as well as the minister of health and education before retiring from provincial politics in 2013.
He also made an attempt at the leadership of the BC Liberal Party, but lost out the nomination to current Premier Christy Clark. He is currently working on a PhD at the University of Victoria. Abbott won’t become chief commissioner unless this is

Region-wide agricultural strategy moves ahead By Martha Wickett Eagle Valley News
Work to promote and preserve agriculture in the Shuswap is flourishing. Robyn Cyr, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s economic development officer, reported to Salmon Arm’s planning meeting on Oct. 20 that progress is being made. She said she will be providing her report to Sicamous council as well. “Good things are happening, there’s a fair amount of momentum going and some good funding opportunities are available,” Cyr told council members. She outlined the
history of the strategy, which officially began in 2011 when the CSRD and the Salmon Arm Economic Development Society hosted an agricultural discussion with 40 people. Topics that arose were: farm labour; agritourism; land use; food education and appreciation; farm succession; and local processing, consumption and food security. Out of those discussions was born the Shuswap Agricultural Strategy, a document that contains 19 recommendations and 40 actions, many interrelated. Three key recommendations in the strat-
egy are: • establishing an independent, nonpolitical Shuswap agricultural organization, with staff, to represent the region’s agricultural interests; • initiating an agricultural economic development process including the marketing and branding of Shuswap-grown products; and providing agricultural education services through Okanagan College’s Salmon Arm campus. A number of steps took place prior to contracting the strategy, which included mapping agricultural assets throughout the region and meeting with focus groups. Cyr said, so far, a
number of steps have been taken including: • forming a working group to start the branding and marketing of ‘Shuswap grown’ products; • identifying funding opportunities; • pursuing agricultural education at Okanagan College in partnership with the University of the Fraser Valley; and • the Shuswap Food Action Co-operative working to address food security projects. Still to do, Cyr said, is: • to determine timelines for the 19 recommendations, determine budgets and obtain funding; and • to pursue other funding sources now that the strategy is complete.
Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper called the agricultural strategy “a very impressive and important document.” Coun. Alan Harrison applauded the thorough process and its grassroots involvement, and stressed the need for someone specific to follow up on the recommendations. Cyr said it would probably be her and CSRD development services manager Gerald Christie. “I would suspect much of the work will be contracted out,” she added. Coun. Ken Jamieson, too, emphasized the need for someone to champion the process.
Upgrade for Swansea firehall focuses on energy saving By Barb Brouwer Eagle Valley News
The Swansea Point Firehall is getting an energy-efficient upgrade. Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors agreed unanimously to spend up to $10,000 from the Electoral Area E Rural Sicamous Community
Works Fund at the Oct. 16 board meeting in Salmon Arm. CSRD’s community works team leader Ryan Nitchie told directors the current lighting system is obsolete and replacement bulbs are difficult to obtain. “Replacement with energy efficient lighting has been shown to
reduce ongoing electrical costs and the return on investment is approximately five years,” said Nitchie in his report to the board. The firehall will also be fitted out with a tankless, on-demand hot water system. Nitchie pointed out that an on-demand hot water system does not produce the same asso-

Canada not immune to terrorist acts
Canada has been lucky for a great many years. Unlike the majority of countries around the world, terrorist acts, domestic or foreign, are rare in this country. Until this week, there hasn’t been a major terrorist incident on Canadian soil since the FLQ crisis in 1970. But we got a wake-up call Wednesday when an armed man killed a soldier guarding the National War Memorial in Ottawa and then moved on to Parliament. House of Commons Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers killed the gunman before he could kill anyone else, but the message here is clear. We are not immune. As we praise Vickers and mourn Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, there is a looming question of what the future holds for us as a country and a people in the coming days. As the flag flies at half-mast over the B.C. legislature MLA’s are already talking about installing metal detectors and other security measures in Victoria, which can only be considered a necessary reaction, considering the events of Wednesday. But with the shocking incident so fresh, it is hard to predict how much will change or how long those changes will last. Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada, summed it up well. “It is a day of tragedy. We must ensure we keep our responses proportionate to whatever threat remains.” However horrific this incident is, it shouldn’t be allowed to change Canada’s character as a nation devoted to peace and striving, however uncertainly, toward a just society. Too many countries, including our neighbour to the south, have gone down the road of letting national security trump human rights. But come this Remembrance Day, along with the usual observances, be sure to set aside a few extra moments to remember both Cpl. Cirillo, senselessly killed in the performance of his duties and Sergeant-at-Arms Vickers, who prevented further tragedy. –Penticton Western News

A difficult birth for the LNG cash cow By Tom Fletcher News Columnist
VICTORIA – Debate is underway on the B.C. Liberal government’s tax and environmental plan for liquefied natural gas exports, amid the usual political theatre. Most media reported that the government “slashed” its proposed seven-per-cent LNG processing income tax by half, caving in to demands of international energy giants led by Petronas of Malaysia. The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full effect until the massive capital investment is written down, and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of production. All of this casts further doubt on Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election campaign promise to use LNG revenues to wipe out B.C.’s debt, currently approaching $70 billion, and provide an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” to
perform further miracles. The seven per cent figure was the top end of the range presented this spring while negotiations with LNG investors were ongoing, so it’s not really accurate to say it was “slashed.” This cash calf hasn’t been born yet, and it remains to be seen if it will survive. Finance Minister Mike de Jong pointed out some of the shifts in the global gas market that have reduced expectations. The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech, which emphasized the fate of B.C.’s only current export market. “Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” the speech observed. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.” So before B.C. gets to that prosperity fund, it’s got

to stop the bleeding. You may recall it was a U.S. hurricane-induced spike in gas revenues that allowed the province to spread an extra billion to calm labour waters for the 2010 Olympics. The finance ministry estimates that after the startup period, a mediumsized LNG export operation would pay total taxes of around $800 million a year to the province. De Jong notes that this is more revenue than B.C. will collect from the entire forest industry this year, from a single plant. There are 18 currently proposed. This new LNG income tax is nowhere near the biggest source. It’s bigger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royalties for selling the gas. The biggest source of revenue from this hopedfor plant is “other taxes,” which include sales tax and corporate income tax,

which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year. University of Calgary economist Jack Mintz, who supported B.C. on its ill-fated HST, says this additional LNG tax is wrong-headed at any rate. “If other provinces take the same view with respect to resource taxation, new levies would be applied to oil refining, forest product manufacturing, mining processing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,” Mintz wrote last week in the Financial Post. If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut. The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share.

After years of reviewing district decisions, reports, the impacts, and researching other communities, we find that whether a candidate “gets” business development, or is knowledgeable in a sector matters less then if they “get” how the economy relates to community function, something that is determined by all sectors including housing, social and health supports, transportation, education, recreation, arts, safety, spirituality and employment.
Consider the following: • Records of council minutes for councillors running again. Look for voting records, consistent input, attendance and a broad view of community. • Ask questions. A candidate may have a background in a field you think matters, but do they show evidence
of engagement in the wider community and are they known to other volunteers? • Dig deeper. A candidate may focus on shared issues, but can they connect them to the other pieces of community? • Attend debates. Listen carefully. Research shows our community flourished when
councillors included and respected the voice of community knowledge. After the election, pay attention, ask informed questions. We all function better together.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
The News is giving candidates an opportunity to answer one question per week in the run up to the Nov. 15 municipal elections.
What project do you consider to be your number one priority? Why?

The hiring of a district administrator is paramount. We as a community cannot continue to waste money on administrator terminations. This person must have a background with municipal experience, communicate well with various community groups and organizations and the mayor and council. He/she must be open to new ideas and be innovative. An administrator must get maximum grants for the infrastructure projects badly needed to improve Sicamous. An example of this is the water treatment plant. Did we maximize the available grants so the saved money could be invested elsewhere? Taxpayer money should be put wisely back into the community.
My number-one project for the next year is to complete the water treatment plant on time and hopefully on budget. The water advisory is forcing quite a number of households to not trust our water supply and so, for health reasons, they are buying bulk water or else they are buying bottled water. It is also causing any business that caters to the public to either install a water treatment facility on-site or supply bottled water. All of this is certainly an inconvenience and certainly an extra expense for both householders and businesses.
No community can thrive without a reliable source of potable water. The water treatment plant, a project initiated by the current council of which I am a member, is a critical building block in the foundation of my plan for a vibrant and healthy Sicamous. The desire to see this project through to completion, within budget and on time, was a key factor in my decision to put my name forward as a candidate for mayor
With our new team, my priority would be to meet with existing businesses to begin the task of establishing a business environment that supports and stimulates growth and generates jobs. As part of this initiative, we would begin to market the assets of our community in order to attract new business and industry plus take advantage of many federal and provincial funding programs that are available to help rural B.C. grow and thrive. Equally important, is the quality of life in our community and a dialogue on what that quality should look like for our permanent residents, our seasonal residents and visitors would be a priority.
The first priority is opening our community for business, supported by the team that I’m excited to work with. Engage the community in updating the official community plan and the strategic plan. My priority in the strategic plan would be to ensure the district office and personnel are working together as a cohesive team to assist you. I would like to work closely with the chamber of commerce, the link to our businesses in town. Promote new business growth and best business practices. Work with the team to create an adverting program promoting Sicamous that encourages our growth and success.
My number-one priority in the way of a project is to complete the installation of the water treatment plant. Sustainable, reliable access to safe drinking water is fundamental to the growth and well-being of our community.

I, along with our team, will endeavor to engage our citizens in reworking the long range community plan to better enhance our local economy. My priority in the strategic plan would be to implement a revitalization plan on new businesses that start up in Sicamous. This plan would look at providing municipal tax breaks to those new business through their start up phase. Bringing new business to the local economy that is outside of the tourism base we currently have is a major step to securing year round employment.
I, along with our team, will engage our citizens in reworking the official community plan and strategic plan to better enhance our social growth and local economy. Using my 35 years’ experience with the Ministry of Transportation, project management experience, and as chair of the transportation Infrastructure committee for the District of Sicamous, will address the concerns of the citizens by lobbying the provincial government to improve the safety and functionality of the “octopus” (Highway 97&1), the west end of Braun bridge and Spallumcheen Road access, through questionnaire mail-outs and public open forums.
I, along with our team, will endeavour to engage our citizens in re-working the long-range community plan to better enhance our local economy. My priority in the strategic Plan would be to work on a channel walkway project. Funding for this project could come from looking into a headwater lease that would divert the moorage/water tenure fees currently paid to the province for the boat slips within the district into the district’s bank account. My understanding is that it is a 50 per cent each government split provincial and district. Jeff Mallmes for Council, District of Sicamous.

Reality – for now people must go elsewhere for jobs. They have families, homes and pay taxes in Sicamous. Biggest problem – nothing for youth to do. We need a youth centre that caters to all age groups and has a variety of activities, where youth want to go, is affordable and safe. It will strengthen our community and help stop our young families from leaving. A youth centre committee can be formed, including a rep from CSRD and interested members of the public to explore options. Funding possibilities are the economic opportunity fund, grants, fundraising – donations would be greatly appreciated.
The project that I would consider as my number-one priority right now would be making sure that the new water treatment plant continues to move ahead and stay on schedule. While I haven’t always been an advocate for this project, people have to look at the big picture. If a town doesn’t have goodquality drinking water, who will want to establish themselves there as new residents or new businesses? People are tired of having a water advisory every spring. As a council we owe it to the existing residents and businesses to continue on the path to providing clean water.
I think that there are four projects that need to be prioritized in the coming years. They are transportation services, housing, economic development and marketing Sicamous. I don’t think that we should focus all of our energies on just one project. But if I have to choose one priority item I would pick transportation services. This impacts all of the other projects. We need affordable and convenient transportation services especially as we have a large portion of our population that do need to access some services out of town.
I feel my number-one priority would be the safety of our seniors. We need to finish all our sidewalks and our paved walkways to connect around our whole town. There are so many seniors driving scooters and wheelchairs now and if there is not a division between the walkway and the road, they tend to be closer to the centre of the roadway. It will also make it safer for the walkers, joggers, bikers and runners, whether they are seniors or not.

The first-priority project I would consider is the completion of our water treatment plant, as this is crucial not only to the economy of our community, but the very sense of our well-being. It is a vital part of our very existence as a healthy community. It is one of the many infrastructure projects that need to be addressed for the future of our community.

The Burner Restaurant gets TV exposure By Kelly M. Dick
Eagle Valley News
It’s not every day that TV crews come to film in rural, small towns, however an article about the great food The Burner Restaurant & Lounge in Malakwa serves, piqued the attention of the Food Network’s award-winning show, You Gotta Eat Here!, starring funnyman John Catucci. They contacted the owners of the converted sawmill burner-turned-restaurant, Tamryn and Nathan Koebel, of Vernon, about filming there.
The restaurant has already won six awards to date: four platinum, and one gold from SnoRiders magazine and the TripAdvisor Award of Excellence 2014. For two days on Oct. 23 and 24, cast and crew of You Gotta Eat Here! were on location, filming kitchen and dining room portions. People came from as far as Kamloops to partake in the complimentary food and to be part of the interviews. Catucci, made interviewers feel at ease

Eagles notch two out of three By Evan Buhler
Eagle Valley News
The Sicamous Eagles sit in second place in the Doug Birks Division after playing three games over the weekend against division opponents. The Eagles Tyson Taylor scored a shorthanded marker in the opening three minutes, the lone goal in the first period against the 100 Mile House Wranglers on Friday night. Riley Cardinal scored and Taylor put one in to increase the Eagles lead to three in the second period, before the Wranglers got one goal back. Sicamous goaltender, Olivier Charest, was named first star, facing 41 shots and making 38 saves in the Eagles 4-3 win over the 100 Mile House Wranglers. On Saturday night the Eagles travelled to Revelstoke to face the Grizzlies. Sicamous struggled on the power play going zero for nine, while the Grizzlies managed to convert one of their five opportunities on the man advantage. Revelstoke’s lone goal was scored with only 2:10 minutes left in the game. The Eagles lost their eighth game of the season, being shutout by Revelstoke’s Mark Becica in the 1-0 loss. Sicamous opened up the scoring in Sunday’s game against the visiting Chase Heat with goals coming in the first 10 minutes by Devyn Myck and Justin Wilde. Chase cut the Eagles lead in half, before Sicamous would go on to score five unanswered goals in the 7-1 routing of the Heat. Samuel Subert led the goal fest scoring a hat trick, while, Riley Cardinal, and Nathan Plessis each added a goal.

Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard reunite on tour, with a stop at The Red Barn on Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m. Photo contributed.
Contenders find comfort in tradition By Barb Brouwer Eagle Valley News
The night air may be chilly, but inside The Red Barn the convivial warmth of great music and an always-appreciative audience will banish the cold. On their 14th tour as The Contenders, Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard will appear at The Red Barn on Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m. Troubadours all, the evening is an opportunity to hear about Canada and her people to an alwayscapacity crowd. Born Valdemar Horsdal in Ottawa, Valdy has been part of the fabric of Canadian pop and folk music for more than 34 years. He’s a singer, guitarist and songwriter, who successfully captures the small but often extraordinary moments in life. His Play Me a Rock and Roll Song was a hit in the late ’60s and continues to draw wild applause. And so, for his fans, he always adds that to his play list. Being on stage is as hugely entertaining for Valdy as it is for his enthusiastic audience. A young 69 as of Sept. 1, Valdy marvels at the 76-year-old Fjellgaard’s energy and enthusiasm and their ability to collaborate based on friendship and respect. “It’s also a chance to play a lot of instruments together,” he says. “We never do the same set twice so it’s fresh for us, therefore fun for us, therefore it’s fun for the audience.” “It’s a chance to strut our stuff, not in an arrogant way, but as entertainers,” he says. “I like to keep a touch of enlightenment; if something comes across my bow that could be applicable to someone’s life, or I think is an important item to get out, I will put it in a song.” Tickets are available at the IDA Pharmacy.

Council votes to limit attendance at convention District of Sicamous Council amended Policy C-5 on Council Convention Attendance, limiting attendance to the annual Federation of Canadian Communities (FCM) conventions to the mayor and one councillor. Coun. Fred Busch
asked to further amend the policy to choose the councillor by drawing a name from a hat rather than by appointment by the mayor. Councillors will be able to attend only one FCM convention per term. The Council Convention Policy was last
updated in 2008, as a result of budget deliberations. “It was decided to review and update the policy for the attendance at the FCM annual convention,” wrote interim chief administrator Kelly Bennett in her report to council, noting it was
a cost-saving measure. The policy with Busch’s amendment passed unanimously.
Assessment
Coun. Charlotte Hutchison spoke on the report regarding the District of Sicamous and CSRD Area E “Labour Mar-
ket Assessment and Planning Project” and asked the district to support the initiative by covering the cost of having a rep from council and staff time.

YUCHYM (nee Farrell), PENNY GAYLENE YUCHYM ~ 1950-2014 It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of wife and mother, Penny Yuchym on October 22, 2014 in Vernon, BC. Penny will be lovingly remembered by her husband Les of 44 years, her daughters Adelle Ford (Murray) and Michelle Yuchym (Tony), granddaughters Brooklynn, Savana, Carlie, and Tristan, and her brothers Rick and Darren Farrell. She was predeceased by her father Roy Farrell, her mother Vera Farrell, and her sisters Donna Kandall and Rae Nash. Penny was born in Salmon Arm BC, and lived in the Shuswap area most of her life. Her passions were spending time with her family, gardening, and taking care of her home. She was a loving and compassionate person always caring for others. She was full of energy always busy helping someone else. For her, giving wasn’t something she did, it was who she was and her way of life. The family would like to express their sincerest gratitude to the staff at Polson Extended Care and Noric House for their compassionate care. Thanks also to Dr. J. Henley. The family would also like to thank the Vernon Community home care team for all their help and support. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to do so may make a contribution in Penny’s memory to the ALS Society. A celebration of life for Penny will be held on Sunday, November 2 at 3:00pm in the Chapel at Bowers Funeral home in Salmon Arm BC. A reception to follow in the tea room. Online condolences may be sent through Penny’s obituary at www.bowersunferalservice.com
