Armed robbery suspect shot by pursuing officer RCMP: Independent Investigations Office looks into shooting. By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
A police pursuit of a suspect in a Sicamous armed robbery Friday afternoon ended in gunshots on a property in Canoe. The RCMP Independent Investigations Office (IIO) has taken over the investigation of events following the pursuit that resulted in an adult male suspect being transported to hospital for treatment of serious gunshot injuries. Police say the suspect was shot by an RCMP dog handler, who was also injured in the confrontation, and was taken to hospital for treatment of unspecified injuries.
The shooting concluded the pursuit, which began on July 3 at 5 p.m., after Sicamous RCMP responded to a report of an armed robbery at a gas station. Police say the suspect fled the scene by vehicle – a compact blue SUV with Nova Scotia plates, reportedly stolen out of Saskatchewan. Police were able to locate the vehicle, and eventually the suspect, after a 911 call was made around 5:30 p.m. by Canoe resident Joyce Skinner. As events were unfolding in Sicamous, Skinner was watching TV in her home along the Trans-Canada Highway just south of Salmon Arm Go-Karts. Skinner said her eyes were drawn to her living room window when several police vehicles with lights flashing drove past her home towards Sicamous. She told her husband Glenn See Canoe couple caught on page 2

RCMP REPORT
Police nab Surrey man in grow-op bust By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
A Surrey man ran out of a Malakwa residence and into the arms of police who had arrived to investigate a suspected marijuana grow operation. Sicamous RCMP Cpl. J.R. Lechky said police, including officers from the Sicamous and Revelstoke detachments, as well as from Trans-Canada East Traffic Services, Foren-
sic Identification Services and a police dog from Vernon, executed a search warrant under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act at the Malakwa residence on Tuesday, June 30. The warrant was obtained after police received information from a community member. “A significant marijuana grow operation containing more than 1,500 marijuana plants was located inside
the residence, and in an outbuilding on the property,” said Lechky. “Charges are being recommended against a 36-year-old male from Surrey, B.C., who was arrested after he was observed running out of the house when the police arrived at the property.” The suspect has since been released from custody and has a court date in October at the Salmon Arm Provincial Court.
about this a little while later when he called to say he’d be home from work in about 15 minutes. “So I was sitting there and all of a sudden I saw this flash going down our driveway,” said Joyce. “I thought, ‘jeez, that was awful fast, him getting home.’ So I walked into the kitchen where I could see where he always parks his truck beside my car, but there was no truck there.” Skinner said she then went outside and found a car parked at the end of her driveway, right before a treed embankment that leads to Canoe Creek. She said the car had Nova Scotia plates, and she initially guessed the driver to be a tourist who was lost. When she heard

someone running down the embankment, she yelled, “what are you doing?” She received no reply, and was quickly compelled to return to her home, lock the door and call Glenn. “She told me some strange car just barrelled down the driveway and the guy jumped out of the car and ran into the creek,” said Glenn. “So I drove home and about two minutes later, I pinned the car in with my truck so he couldn’t get away. I didn’t know what was going on… She phoned 911 and I went in the bush looking for him.” Inside her house, Joyce was talking to the 911 dispatcher, and was informed the car on her property was the one police were looking for. Minutes later, RCMP vehicles were parked at the end of her driveway,
with officers laying down a spike belt and shouting at the Skinners to join them immediately. “They’re yelling at him, they’ve got their vests on, guns and rifles,” said Joyce. “Glenn says, ‘Joyce, you’ve got to come.’ I’m in my pyjamas for number one, I’ve got a cane and our driveway is long. And they’re all waving their arms trying to get us to come to the driveway.” Upon joining the officers, Joyce said she and Glenn learned of the robbery and were told the suspect was armed with a gun. Moments later the property and neighbourhood were surrounded in marked and unmarked police vehicles, and highway traffic was blocked as police conducted their search on the ground

and by helicopter. Joyce estimates she and Glenn were standing on the side of the highway for about two hours before gunshots were fired. Glenn said he heard two. Another Canoe resident who lives near the Skinners told the News she heard five. Joyce said police had located the suspect hiding in a shed on adjacent property. “The guy will be OK, I do know that and I’m allowed to say that. The police officer, he’s fine too,” said Joyce. A police officer remained on the Skinner’s property until 4 p.m. the following day when an IIO Forensic Specialist arrived on the scene.

not to divulge certain details related to the investigation. Despite being in the middle of such an intense situation, Glenn and Joyce said they’re not particularly phased by the experience. “It happened so quickly – it was almost like it was a little movie or something…,” said Joyce, still recognizing how fortunate she and Glenn were. “The head police officer who was here after everything was done, the one who interviewed us, he said it could have been a whole different scenario by you going outside. That guy could have still been standing there and it could have been a lot different. Because he had a gun, right.” The IIO continues to investigate the shooting, while local RCMP investigate the robbery.

District administrator resigns By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
The District of Sicamous is once again without a chief administrative officer. Former district administrator Fred Banham tendered his resignation last Monday. Mayor Terry Rysz said Banham handed over his keys and phone that morning. “We had kind of an emergency meeting and he addressed council as well, and he gave his reasoning behind his decision,” said Rysz. “At the same time, he gave us some advice for the future and we basically accepted his resignation and shook hands and he was good to go. “He was four months in. I don’t think in Fred’s mind it was the right fit for him at this stage, and so we just
had to accept that.” Banham began working with the district in March. While council has yet to make any formal decisions on a replacement, Rysz suggested council is
when we had all those applicants,” said Rysz. “And then, if we bring an interim CAO in, I’m sure we can get assistance just through that to find another CAO. “Also, our council,

leaning towards an interim administrator, and doing the hiring “inhouse” as opposed to hiring a “head-hunter” as was done prior. “The general feeling right now is we’re going to do this in-house, and we do have a list of several names now from
we’re eight months into it now or somewhere around there, and I think they may have a better idea as to what type of CAO they would like. Because there’s different characteristics to CAOs. Some push back, some are very accommodating.
We might have to have that discussion as to the style of CAO that we want and then go after that.” Rysz said he spoke with district staff about Banham’s resignation and, while there was some surprise, Rysz said they were supportive of the decision and responded positively to the notion of carrying on without an administrator. “We ran eight months without a CAO – nobody seems to be too concerned,” said Rysz. ‘We’re having a planning meeting, a committee of the whole meeting and a council meeting next Wednesday and we’re just moving right along.” Banham replaced former CAO Heidi Frank, who relocated to Oliver in August of last year.
Extension to connection deadline denied
For at least one residence, the deadline to connect to municipal sewer won’t be extended any further. At its last meeting, council voted not to support a request by Megan McFarlane to extend the sewer connection deadline another year beyond the Nov. 30 deadline for her rental property on Rauma Crescent. In a letter to council, McFarlane bases her request on the precarious employment situation in Alberta and the layoffs and cutbacks in her hometown of Hinton, and the need for a new roof and eaves on her Rauma residence. If approved, this would have been a second extension to the sewer connection deadline. In DecemPLANTS ber, council supported a recommendation to
extend the deadline from June 30 to Nov. 30 for properties east of the narrows. This extension was recommended by district staff in response to concerns raised by contractors and homeowners facing challenges installing sanitary sewer service due to higher than normal groundwater. “The high groundwater table is causing installation and safety issues,” community planning officer Mike Marrs explained in a report to council. “Attempting to address the water and safety issues is also adding to the property owner’s connection cost.” Marrs explained at the time that more than 400 residences had not yet been connected and, by extending the deadline, staff hoped to help ease related
financial pressures while dealing with the groundwater situation. Responding to McFarlane’s letter, Coun. Jeff Mallmes said he felt leery about approving the request, worried it would set a precedent. Other councillors agreed, including acting deputy mayor Malcolm Makayev, who said the intent of a potential extension would relate to “undue hardship.” “In my mind, hardship might be like… God forbid a death in the family, or a hurricane or a fire and you don’t have any insurance and you lose your contents,” said Makayev. “To me this doesn’t seem to… fall
under intent of hardship. I agree, we might get a few more of these depending on where we go with this.” Mallmes put forward a resolution to deny McFarlane’s request, and it was supported unanimously by council.

Smoke marks need to cherish planet
N
ot romantic like the show tune, “Smoke gets in your eyes,” smoke is also getting in your nose and your trachea and your
lungs. Forest fires are dominating media reports all over the province as B.C. citizens from Vancouver Island to the Shuswap to the East Kootenay are experiencing what is on pace for one of the worst fire seasons on record. B.C. is not alone in western Canada, with 12,000 people in Saskatchewan forced to flee their homes. The smoke currently blanketing the Shuswap is coming from Pemberton, north of Whistler, and is also affecting air quality in western Washington. While the Shuswap has escaped any fires of significance so far this year, images of 1998 and the Silver Creek fire – which forced evacuations and destroyed more than 25 homes and buildings – are burned into the memories of many Salmon Arm residents. The extreme forest fire hazard rating requires specific, urgent action from all citizens, but also a more global awareness. The urgent action required is to be acutely aware of what can start a fire and to use extreme caution outdoors. Discarded cigarette butts are a no-brainer, but unfortunately people still throw them out of vehicle windows or leave them burning on the ground. Mirrors, glass and plastic all have the ability to start fires when left where they can magnify the sun’s rays. When the land is this dry, a spark from a machine is also enough to ignite a flame. The more widespread awareness needed is one to which people with asthma and other breathing difficulties are acutely attuned. We humans are entirely dependent on the earth – for the air we breathe and, of course, the water we drink and the food we eat. It’s easy to forget this when we can spend our days in air-conditioned buildings and buy our water in plastic bottles. Every decision we as individuals and our political leaders make should focus first and foremost on this fact. Is what we’re doing sustaining or preserving the planet and us? The smoke-filled skies are just one indication of how imperative it is to cherish and nurture this incredible planet.

Outlook cloudy for climate policies By Tom Fletcher News Columnist
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to Vancouver last week to unveil his environmental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election. Trudeau promised an overhaul of the National Energy Board and a vaguely defined intention to work with provinces to impose a “price” on carbon dioxide emissions across the country. Trudeau’s media tour took him to the Burnaby facilities of General Fusion, where, like Premier Christy Clark a few weeks before, he stood at his podium before a prototype fusion reactor. This massive octopus of pistons and wires is an attempt to capture the nuclear reaction that powers the sun and other stars, containing its fury within steel walls and magnetic fields. The old joke about controlled fusion is that every 20 years, scientists tell us it’s just 20 years away. If
it ever is developed, such a process could quickly put an end to our handwringing about fossil fuels, largely replacing them with endless, emission-free energy. This is the type of technological revolution that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s officials indicated would be needed, after Canada announced a pledge with other G7 leaders to make their economies carbon-free by 2100. That’s right, some time within the next 85 years. Clark visited General Fusion in May to announce her new climate action advisory panel, which has to give her a plan to take to Paris next December. That’s the next big United Nations climate summit, where Trudeau hopes to lead a delegation of premiers to stop the flow of “fossil awards” given to Canada by people in polar bear suits. Asked about the fusion reactor she had just toured,

Clark laughed off the question, comparing it to the “flux capacitor” used for time travel in the Michael J. Fox movie Back to the Future. The point here for voters is that all these leaders, Harper, Trudeau, Clark and many others, are talking down to you. You aren’t sophisticated enough to understand this climate business. The Pope has weighed in, assuring us that carbon trading systems are not going to cut it. This is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where effective carbon trading is, like controlled fusion, just around the corner. Pope Francis warned that our “throwaway culture” views nature “solely as a source of profit and gain,” and so people won’t voluntarily do the right thing. The Pope concludes there is “an urgent need” for a “true world political authority” to impose order

on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this would be the run by the UN, so my advice is to start hoarding candles and cat food now. B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes. Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacific Carbon Trust, which limps along after its near-death experience in 2013. The trust continues to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to purported carbon-saving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

Canada Day is never better than when you’re living abroad. Sure, you miss out on the cake, fireworks and general hubbub.

You can talk about how simple “please and thank yous” are woven into the tapestry of our daily lives. Or how good the air feels when you inhale—something you can’t possibly understand the value of until you’ve spent time in a country where it’s not. On that note, it’s always nice to think about how the rain is purifying, not toxic. And you can’t help but acknowledge the value of freely being able to travel to and from your country of

But more importantly, it was just so stupid and so poorly executed for a government known to ooze dollars in ads. It’s lovely that they dug up actors from a small-town improv group and paid them to perform in something that looked more like a Depends ad than a legitimate opportunity to engage the electorate. But Canadians aren’t stupid. We don’t need to be distracted from the issues with commentary about a political contender’s appearance. We know that emergency relief, such as providing winter coats, is a function of our current government so it’s hardly remarkable that a leader of another party would take a similar perspective. Maybe I’m delusional, but I’m pretty sure Canadians know a lot more about politics than this ad gives credit for.

Trudeau’s resumé is particularly unsettling to the group who offer up bon mots like, “He has some growing up to do,” “He’s like a celebrity who says things without thinking them through,” and while on the topic of foreign policy, “Well, he wants to send winter jackets to Syria.” They all make note of his good looks, which just makes whoever wrote the commercial seem petty and jealous, then they offer a semi-endorsement. “I’m not saying no forever, but not now,” is the final line. Ugh. Please. Somebody. Whoever is out there listening, please remove this commercial. I’m no fan of Mulcair’s ‘everyday

origin. Or how well so many nationalities have blended over generations to pull the whole thing off. Bits and bobs of this nature are the things that I reflected on with my friends when I lived overseas, oh-solong-ago. These days, however, I’m home and they did their annual pining without me. “I had a beer and sang O’ Canada to celebrate,” wrote one friend to me, vowing for the 15th time that next year’s Canada Day will be spent on home soil. Another posted a picture of maple syrup on their pancakes. I know they both daydreamed about the gentle Canadian and our love of all things natural. It’s a beautiful image, really. Of course, they’ve been gone awhile. There have been some changes they get to overlook and an election year to avoid. As the parent of a toddler, there isn’t a lot of time in my house for television, so I was quite excited Canada Day when we put it on during my little one’s nap time to watch some Women’s World Cup. I can’t remember the

Abbott drops BC Liberal membership By Barb Brouwer Eagle Valley News
Former Shuswap MLA George Abbott is no longer a member of the BC Liberal Party. “This is a something I have been thinking about for a while,” he said, pointing out most people are not members of political parties and he was simply not renewing his membership. “If I am going to be a member of a political party, I want to be excited, interested and engaged but I do not find myself being any of those things in the world of politics.” Abbott did admit that the government’s 11th hour cancellation of his appointment as chief commissioner to the BC Treaty Commission was the final piece in his decision to not renew his membership. Abbott held several senior cabinet posts during his 17 years as
Shuswap MLA, including health, education and aboriginal portfolios from 2001 to 2004 and 2010 to 2011. He retired from government in 2013 following an unsuccessful bid for leader of the party and began pursuing his PhD at the University of Victoria. Last fall, John Rustad, Minister for Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, asked Abbott to assume the role of chief commissioner of the BC Treaty Commission upon the retirement of Sophie Pierre on April 1. Excited by the prospect of taking on leadership of a process he cares deeply about, and an appointment that had garnered First Nations’ support, Abbott was advised on March 18 that the government was moving in a new direction and his services were not required.
“I remain entirely puzzled as to what the new direction is that the premier was talking about in April,” he says, noting he has never been given an explanation about what that new direction is or why his appointment would have been inconsistent with that direction. “It remains troubling to me that it was done without a lot of consideration of a policy in what I consider to be an important area. There’s more to it than that.” Academically Abbott has a second set of comprehensive exams in October and a 200page dissertation on the provincial government during the 2001to-2012 Campbell era to write. An article he has written on the introduction of the harmonized sales tax in B.C. and Ontario will appear this summer in BC Studies,
a quarterly publication dedicated to the exploration of British Columbia’s cultural, economic and political life, past and present. “I suspect I will be non-partisan for the balance of my life…” he says. “I’m on a different track now, political science, and I do public policy work, so I actually think it’s an advantage to not have that partisan involvement.”

Welcome sign: A new banner hanging on the Sicamous United Church features the United Church’s new crest. Photo contributed part of Jesus’ prayer for his disciples in John17:21, and a phrase from Canada’s many Indigenous languages, “All my Relations.” In Mohawk it reads Akwe Nia’Tetewa’:neren. Mohawk was chosen because it was the first documented ministry between aboriginal peoples and one of the founding denominations – Methodist missionaries. Well, that’s the history lesson, but the real ministry happens with community connections through the Thrift Shop,

Keep money in the local economy
Locally-owned businesses often put a larger share of their revenue back into their communities. Small business owners may be more inclined to employ local residents, giving more people in the community solid employment. Business owners may reach out and support other neighborhood efforts, such as fundraising initiatives for charities and schools. By shopping at local stores, you have a hand in supporting these efforts as well.

The alpha and omega in the lower quarter are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, representing the eternal living God (Revelation 1:8). In 2012, the crest was updated to incorporate the four colours of the aboriginal medicine wheel, reflecting respect for diversity and interdependence.

Have you seen the new banner at Sicamous United Church? Where’s that? It’s that blue building attached to the Thrift Shop. Yup, it’s a church. The banner, as well as saying Sicamous United Church welcomes you, shows the new crest for the United Church of Canada (UCC). When the UCC was born 90 years ago, the forming churches brought their symbols into the crest. The open Bible came from the Congregational churches with their emphasis on God’s truth that makes people free. The dove represents the transforming power of the Holy Spirit – a symbol from the Methodist churches. The Presbyterians chose the burning bush, from the Exodus story of Moses encountering God. It signifies the indestructibility of the gospel. The oval shape of the crest echoes the outline of a fish – an ancient Christian symbol, while the X in the centre represents Christ.
