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 gun-shots were heard just outside of the room at 9:55 a.m.

“I was at the back of the room. What was hap-pening was on the other side of the wall,” said Mayes, Okanagan-Shuswap MP.

“Most of us stood up because the � rst reaction is to get away from danger. We looked at where we should go.”

Mayes wouldn’t get into speci� c 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 immedi-ately removed from the caucus room and taken to a safe location.

“For all of us, our � rst 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 Ca-nadian Forces. Cirillo died from his injuries. On Thursday morning, MPs gathered at the War Me-

There will de� nitely be a Summer Stomp and Burnout Charity Party in Si-camous in 2015.

What part the District of Sicamous will play in the organization of the burn-out will be reviewed by a new council following the November municipal elec-tion.

At last week’s regular council meet-ing, 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 ab-sorb half of that, or $9,100.

As co-organizers of the burnout with the district, the Summer Stomp Commit-tee 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 com-munity.”

“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 organiz-ers 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 � rst 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, com-munity members in the audience, also questioned the � nancial 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 commu-nity,” wrote Carpenter in an Oct. 23 email to this newspaper. “Council has asked for a more detailed report on the losses.”

Interim chief administrative of� cer Kelly Bennett said she thinks most peo-ple are satis� ed with the event.

“It did bring a lot more people into the core; we have had some business owners say it bene� ted them and others said no, it didn’t,” she said.

“At the end of the day, there were a lot more people in the downtown, and they (councillors) were hap-py with the event itself but are going to review

the Burnout.”Hammer meanwhile

says both the Summer Stomp and Burnout will be a go for 2015 and beyond, with ini-tial planning for next year’s event already underway.

“The Stomp will be in Sicamous for the next two years; that has already been ap-proved,” he said. “The district basically will look at what their con-

tribution will be to the Burnout, or will they take it over and revamp it? That’s the conversa-tion we’ll have with the new council.”

As for the Summer Stomp itself, Hammer said the event pretty much broke even.

“We made a bit of money, not anything substantial,” he said. “It was a good year, a good event, we didn’t lose money.”

morial to pay tribute to Cirillo.

It’s still not deter-mined if the shooter was acting alone or is connected to radical movements in the Mid-dle 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 con-tinue 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 nation-alities and faith groups and it has shown re-spect for all and it’s important to remember those values. You will always get people in society who can be rad-icalized or have some determination against the government.”

He admits that secu-rity on Parliament Hill must be considered.

“They have always been open and public facilities and they (au-thorities) are reviewing the things that went right and the things that need to be improved. There may be a com-promise on how the government grounds

are accessed.”On Thursday morn-

ing, Mayes was back in the House.

“We will continue with business. We will make a statement by continuing on with business here,” he said.

“The government and the opposition will continue to serve Cana-dians.”

Abbott in line for treaty commission

Former Shuswap MLA George Abbott is likely to become the next chief com-missioner 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 well-known for skilled ne-gotiations and tackling dif� cult government portfolios.

Abbott was B.C.’s minister of aboriginal affairs as well as the minister of health and education before retir-ing from provincial politics in 2013.

He also made an attempt at the leader-ship 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 Vic-toria.

Abbott won’t be-come chief commis-sioner unless this is

rati� ed by the federal and provincial govern-

ments and the First Nations Summit, how-ever, if he’s approved by all parties, he will replace Sophie Pierre on April 1, 2015.

More than 70 ab-original groups are participating in the treaty process, which is being boycotted by the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs.

Work to promote and preserve agricul-ture in the Shuswap is � ourishing.

Robyn Cyr, the Co-lumbia Shuswap Re-gional District’s eco-nomic development of� cer, 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 of� cially be-gan in 2011 when the CSRD and the Salmon Arm Economic Devel-opment Society hosted an agricultural discus-sion with 40 people.

Topics that arose were: farm labour; agri-tourism; land use; food education and apprecia-tion; farm succession; and local processing, consumption and food security.

Out of those dis-cussions was born the Shuswap Agricultural Strategy, a document that contains 19 rec-ommendations and 40 actions, many inter-related.

Three key recom-mendations in the strat-

egy are: • establishing an independent, non-political Shuswap ag-ricultural organization, with staff, to represent the region’s agricultural interests; • initiating an agricultural economic development process including the market-ing and branding of Shuswap-grown prod-ucts; and providing agricultural education services through Okan-agan College’s Salmon Arm campus.

A number of steps took place prior to con-tracting the strategy, which included map-ping agricultural assets throughout the region and meeting with focus groups.

Cyr said, so far, a

number of steps have been taken includ-ing: • forming a work-ing 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 time-lines for the 19 recom-mendations, 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 grass-roots involvement, and stressed the need for someone speci� c to follow up on the recom-mendations.

Cyr said it would probably be her and CSRD development services manager Ger-ald Christie.

“I would suspect much of the work will be contracted out,” she added.

Coun. Ken Jamie-son, too, emphasized the need for someone to champion the process.

He also made an attempt at the leader-ship 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 Vic-

The Swansea Point Firehall is getting an energy-ef� cient up-grade.

Columbia Shuswap Regional District di-rectors agreed unani-mously 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 commu-nity works team lead-er Ryan Nitchie told directors the current lighting system is ob-solete and replacement bulbs are dif� cult to obtain.

“Replacement with energy ef� cient light-ing has been shown to

reduce ongoing elec-trical costs and the return on investment is approximately � ve years,” said Nitchie in his report to the board.

The � rehall will also be � tted 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-

ciated standby energy losses that a storage- type water heater gen-erates.

“Due to the infre-quent use of hot water in the � rehall, convert-

ing to an on-demand system will consume far less energy, as a tankless hot water sys-tem heats and provides hot water only as re-quired.”

PLEASE STOP SPEEDING BEFORE SPEEDING

STOPS YOU!!


VICTORIA – Debate is underway on the B.C. Lib-eral government’s tax and environmental plan for liq-uefied natural gas exports, amid the usual political the-atre.

Most media reported that the government “slashed” its proposed seven-per-cent LNG processing income tax by half, caving in to de-mands of international en-ergy giants led by Petronas of Malaysia.

The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full ef-fect until the massive capital investment is written down, and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of pro-duction. All of this casts further doubt on Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election campaign prom-ise to use LNG revenues to wipe out B.C.’s debt, cur-rently approaching $70 bil-lion, and provide an Alber-ta-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 in-vestors 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 govern-ment’s change of tone start-ed with the recent throne speech, which emphasized the fate of B.C.’s only cur-rent export market.

“Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” the speech observed. “But the Ameri-can shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never com-ing 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. hur-ricane-induced spike in gas revenues that allowed the province to spread an extra billion to calm labour wa-ters for the 2010 Olympics.

The finance ministry estimates that after the startup period, a medium-sized LNG export opera-tion would pay total taxes of around $800 million a year to the province. De Jong notes that this is more rev-enue than B.C. will collect from the entire forest indus-try this year, from a single plant. There are 18 currently proposed. This new LNG income tax is nowhere near the biggest source. It’s big-ger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royal-ties for selling the gas.

The biggest source of revenue from this hoped-for 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-fat-ed 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 pro-cessing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,” Mintz wrote last week in the Financial Post.

If B.C. does get a sub-stantial LNG export indus-try, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And compa-nies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local govern-ments 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.

Canada not immune to terrorist acts

OPINION

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. legis-lature MLA’s are already talking about installing metal detectors and other security measures in Victoria, which can only be considered a neces-sary reaction, considering the events of Wednes-day. 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 uncer-tainly, 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.

Going away in elec-tion month? Planning to mail your election vote?

Well, while we weren’t watching, that mail-in vote disap-peared. Surprised? We were.

We know a lot of tax-paying year-round and summer residents who planned to use that mail-in option and now can’t.

We stand reminded of our responsibility as community members to pay attention to gover-nance issues.

Each election year we get asked a lot, who to vote for to ensure so-cial issues are consid-ered by district council?

After years of re-viewing district deci-sions, reports, the im-pacts, and researching other communities, we find that whether a candidate “gets” busi-ness development, or is knowledgeable in a sector matters less then if they “get” how the economy relates to community function, something that is de-termined by all sectors including housing, so-cial and health supports, transportation, educa-tion, recreation, arts, safety, spirituality and employment.

Consider the follow-ing:

• Records of council minutes for councillors running again.

Look for voting re-cords, 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 can-didate may focus on shared issues, but can they connect them to the other pieces of com-munity?

• Attend debates. Listen carefully. Re-search shows our com-munity flourished when

councillors included and respected the voice of community knowl-edge.

After the election, pay attention, ask in-formed questions. We all function better to-gether.

Cookie sales help support hospital

There were smiles all round Thursday as managers of the three Shuswap Tim Hortons handed over $6,000 to the Shuswap Hospital Foundation.

The money raised during the annual Smile Cookie Campaign will go towards the pur-chase of equipment for Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

The CT scan up-grade was installed at Shuswap Lake General Hospital in mid-June of this year. The Shuswap Hospital Foundation committed $205,000 in order to purchase this upgrade.

To date, the foun-dation has raised $133,000 towards the purchase of the upgrade

and is seeking to raise a further $72,000 to meet the total cost of the up-grade.

Those wishing to help the foundation

meet their goal may do so online at www.shus-waphospitalfoundation.org or drop a donation off at the office in the hospital weekdays from

9 am. to 5 p.m. Mail-in donations are also wel-come at Shuswap Hos-pital Foundation PO Box 265, Salmon Arm. B.C. V1E 4N3.

Malcolm MacLeodThe hiring of a district ad-

ministrator 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 orga-nizations 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 im-prove 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.

Mayoral CandidateColleen Anderson

The � rst priority is opening our community for business, supported by the team that I’m excited to work with.

Engage the community in updating the of� cial com-munity plan and the strategic plan. My priority in the stra-tegic plan would be to ensure the district of� ce 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 busi-ness practices. Work with the team to create an adverting program promoting Sicamous that en-courages our growth and success.

Council Candidate

Gord BushellWith our new team, my

priority would be to meet with existing businesses to begin the task of establish-ing 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 commu-nity in order to attract new business and industry plus take advantage of many federal and provin-cial 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 prior-ity.

Council Candidate

Malcolm MakayevI, along with our team, will

engage our citizens in re-working the of� cial commu-nity plan and strategic plan to better enhance our social growth and local economy.

Using my 35 years’ expe-rience with the Ministry of Transportation, project management experience, and as chair of the transportation Infrastructure committee for the District of Sicamous, will ad-dress 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.

Council Candidate

Charlotte Hutchinson

My number-one priority in the way of a project is to complete the installation of the water treatment plant.

Sustainable, reliable ac-cess to safe drinking water is fundamental to the growth and well-being of our community.

fundamental to the growth and well-being of our

Council Candidate

Jeff MallmesI, 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 look-ing 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 pro-vincial and district.

Jeff Mallmes for Council, District of Sicamous.

Council Candidate

Fred BuschMy 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 facil-ity on-site or supply bottled water.

All of this is certainly an inconvenience and certainly an extra expense for both householders and businesses.

Council Candidate

Todd KylloI, 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.

Council Candidate

Terry RyszNo community can thrive

without a reliable source of potable water.

The water treatment plant, a project initiated by the cur-rent 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 com-pletion, within budget and on time, was a key fac-tor in my decision to put my name forward as a candidate for mayor

Donna MounceI think that there are four

projects that need to be pri-oritized 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 conve-nient transportation services especially as we have a large portion of our population that do need to access some services out of town.

Council Candidate

Joan Thomson I feel my number-one pri-

ority would be the safety of our seniors.

We need to � nish 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 be-tween 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.

Council Candidate

Don RichardsonThe � rst-priority project I

would consider is the com-pletion of our water treat-ment 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 com-munity.

Council Candidate

Janna SimonsThe project that I would

consider as my number-one priority right now would be making sure that the new water treatment plant contin-ues 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 good-quality drinking water, who will want to establish themselves there as new residents or new busi-nesses?

People are tired of having a water advisory every spring. As a council we owe it to the existing resi-dents and businesses to continue on the path to providing clean water.

Lynn MillerReality – 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 Burner Restaurant gets TV exposure It’s not every day

that TV crews come to film in rural, small towns, however an arti-cle about the great food The Burner Restaurant & Lounge in Malakwa serves, piqued the at-tention of the Food Network’s award-win-ning show, You Gotta Eat Here!, starring fun-nyman John Catucci.

They contacted the owners of the con-verted sawmill burn-er-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 lo-cation, filming kitchen and dining room por-tions.

People came from as far as Kamloops to partake in the compli-mentary food and to be part of the interviews.

Catucci, made in-terviewers feel at ease

with his quick wit, continuous banter and contagious humour during his non-scripted dialogue.

The show has only one scripted line, their catchphrase, “You Gotta Eat Here!”

Catucci could of-ten be seen between scenes, posing for pho-tos with fans and inter-acting animatedly with children.

You Gotta Eat Here! airs all over the world on Food Network, Dis-

covery, National Geo-graphic, TLC, Biogra-phy and UKTV.

The episode featur-ing The Burner will be aired as part of the Food Network’s Sea-son 4 of You Gotta Eat Here! in the spring.

Eagles notch two out of three

The Sicamous Ea-gles sit in second place in the Doug Birks Divi-sion after playing three games over the week-end against division opponents.

The Eagles Tyson Taylor scored a short- handed 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, be-fore the Wranglers got one goal back.

Sicamous goalten-der, Olivier Charest, was named first star, facing 41 shots and making 38 saves in the Eagles 4-3 win over the 100 Mile House Wran-glers.

On Saturday night the Eagles travelled to Revelstoke to face the Grizzlies.

Sicamous struggled on the power play go-ing 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 sea-son, being shutout by Revelstoke’s Mark Be-cica in the 1-0 loss.

Sicamous opened up the scoring in Sun-day’s game against the visiting Chase Heat with goals coming in the first 10 minutes by Devyn Myck and Jus-tin Wilde.

Chase cut the Eagles lead in half, before Si-camous 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.

Patrick Kasper got the nod in net, making 25 saves.

Rookie Subert has only played 13 games for the Eagles this sea-son and has scored 14 points, managing just over a point a game.

The Eagles next game is at home to the struggling Kelowna Chiefs on Friday, Oct. 31 at 7 p.m.

Troubadours all, the evening is an opportunity to hear about Canada and her people to an always-capacity 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, gui-tarist 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 ar-rogant 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.

Contenders find comfort in tradition

Return engagement: 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.

District of Si-camous Council amended Policy C-5 on Council Conven-tion Attendance, lim-iting attendance to the annual Federation of Canadian Communi-ties (FCM) conven-tions to the mayor and one councillor.

Coun. Fred Busch

asked to further amend the policy to choose the councillor by draw-ing a name from a hat rather than by appoint-ment by the mayor.

Councillors will be able to attend only one FCM convention per term.

The Council Con-vention Policy was last

updated in 2008, as a result of budget delib-erations.

“It was decided to review and update the policy for the at-tendance at the FCM annual convention,” wrote interim chief ad-ministrator Kelly Ben-nett in her report to council, noting it was

a cost-saving measure. The policy with

Busch’s amendment passed unanimously.

AssessmentCoun. Charlotte

Hutchison spoke on the report regarding the District of Si-camous 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.

Trail sponsorCouncillors agreed

to support the Eagle Valley Snowmobile

Club with a bronze sponsorship of $250 towards the trail map brochure.

Meeting changeThe district council

meeting scheduled for Nov. 26 has been can-celled as a new council will have been elected on Nov. 15.

Council votes to limit attendance at convention


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

ward. There’s things we have been working

on for three years and are partially done and

I’d like to see them completed.”

Rysz says his experience as both deputy

mayor and chair of the � nance committee

has provided him with the im-

portant background needed to

make a bid for mayor.

“I think it is important to

have spent time on council,”

says the recent retiree, “It’s

a four-year commitment this

time round, so now I’m at a

place where I can give the job

my full attention, if I am elect-

ed.”Nomination packages for the November

municipal election are currently available

at Sicamous City Hall, but a number of the

current members of council remain on the

fence about their intentions.

Coun. Joan Thomson says

she’s still debating whether to

put her name forward again,

while Coun. Don Richardson

is doing the same.

“At this time I’m indeci-

sive. I have mixed feelings, but

I think there are great things

coming up for this community,

so I’m weighing my options,”

Richardson told the News.

Coun. Suzanne Carpenter, who was

elected in a by-election in September 2013

after Greg Kyllo was elected as MLA, is

also undecided.

“I have not committed to run at the mo-

ment, there are a few outstanding issues

that I am looking into personally so I will

not know for a couple of weeks,” she said.

But there’s going to be a pair of familiar

names on the ballot — Coun. Fred Busch,

who has been part of municipal leadership

at the district since 1996 and Coun. Char-

lotte Hutchinson, who has served for four

years, one following a byelection and three

with the current council.

November will mark the end of his sixth

term in of� ce, but Busch says he’s still in-

terested in the job.

1996, that it would be for this long, but it
