District drops recreation co-ordinator Information: Employee uses district email to share news of job loss. By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
Sicamous Mayor Terry Rysz says recreation programming remains a priority of council after the district’s program and events co-ordinator sent out an email announcing her termination. On Friday morning, the News received an email (as did other “undisclosed recipients”) from Jillian Alexander, the District of Sicamous’ program and events manager, announcing her job, which began last May, will end in March. “It is with a heavy heart I write you this morning.

Oil price drop hits home with layoffs
Diversification: Businesses switching focus to serve other markets.
By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
Layoffs have begun among Shuswap businesses feeling the strain of the slowdown in Canada’s oil industry. Sicamous’ TA Structures, which builds mobile living quarters for worksite camps, has had to lay off up to 40 employees in response to the sudden apprehension in the energy resource sector at home and abroad. TA Structures manufacturing manager Nigel Watson says the company isn’t alone – that other worksite accommodation providers are feeling the pinch, including Horizon North Logistics in Kamloops where 130 employees were recently served layoff notices. “It’s unfortunate, we have had to make some layoffs coming in to the new year

Solsqua residents assert right to clean water
Over 10,000 ads - updated daily bcclassified.com
Request: District asked to extend water to troubled trailer park.
Need Help?
By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
Interior Health is encouraging the District of Sicamous to extend its water system to Solsqua-Sicamous Road properties currently serviced by unreliable and potentially unhealthy wells. At its Jan. 14 meeting, Sicamous council formally received a request from Solsqua-Sicamous Road residents Joanne Dermott and Nell Chapdelaine to extend the municipal water line to the district’s eastern boundary, so as to service residents that currently rely upon the Cedar Ridge Mobile
Home Parks water system for potable water. Dermott and Chapdelaine expressed this request through a letter co-signed by MariePaule Lacasse, originally submitted to the district in September. In the letter, the women note they depend on the mobile park’s well for drinking water, and that drinking water issues have been prevalent there for the past several years. “It is highly likely that difficulties may continue to be faced in order to meet today’s stringent standards when it comes to water quality,” the letter states. This position is
backed by Interior Health Environmental Health Officer Brian Gregory who, in a separate letter to the district, supports the request to extend district water to Solsqua-Sicamous Road residents currently served by the mobile park well. Gregory refers to a new well that was drilled at the park in 2013, after residents had been forced to endure an ongoing boil water advisory, along with shortages that prevented them from taking showers, washing dishes, flushing toilets, etc. But he goes on to warn that some wells in that area are considered
“groundwater at risk of containing pathogens” because of their depth and proximity to the Eagle River. “In my opinion, there would be a public health benefit to see the district water system extended to service the properties along Solsqua Road,” writes Gregory. Dermott, Chapdelaine and Lacasse state park management is not supporting a move to city water, and that the burden of any related costs would fall on residents. This would include the cost of joining individual properties to the municipal water main, plus the installa-
tion of a water meter. “Financially speaking, this makes for an undertaking that may be unattainable…,” add the women. “We are thereby requesting your assistance in making our request attainable.” In response, Mayor Terry Rysz said the letters would be forwarded to the district’s finance committee for deliberation. “We’ll assess it and we’ll come up with maybe some sort of a plan of how we would make it work or how we can’t make it work, whatever, and we’ll be in touch with you on that,” said Rysz.
Chief administrative officer begins work in March By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
Fred Banham will be taking on the role of chief administrative officer for the District of Sicamous. Mayor Terry Rysz informed the News of
the hiring on Friday, when he relayed a statement that has since been published on the District of Sicamous website. Over the past 18 years, Banham has served as CAO with the District of Tumbler
Ridge, and with the Peace River Regional District. He will be filling the vacancy left by Heidi Frank, who relocated to Oliver last August. Banham is expected to begin work with the District of Sicamous on
March 1. “Council is eager to move forward in continuing to deliver quality public service to residents of Sicamous and the appointment of Mr. Banham is just the first significant decision for council in
moving forward with its new mandate,” said Rysz, adding Banham brings “knowledge and background in local government operations, and ambition to move Sicamous forward in a positive successful manner.”

committee of the whole meeting, council received a presentation by Jane Mastin of True Engineering, who was asked by staff to provide an overview of the Sicamous and Area Parks, Recreation and Open Space plan, completed in March 2011 and essentially
shelved since. Upon its release, the plan was controversial for its recommendation that management of the Sicamous and District Recreation Centre be reviewed, with the goal of “examining the capacity for a broader programming role by funded staff persons.”

SD83 seeking input on consolidation
Think first... DON’T DRINK & DRIVE
Eagle River: Council to submit letter asking not to close schools. By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
Don’t close our schools. This is the gist of what Sicamous council suggested be written in a letter to School District #83, in response to a request for input on a proposed long-term facility plan. According to a backgrounder by SD83, the B.C. Ministry of Education has introduced a requirement for all school districts to complete a facilities plan, which will “form
the basis for provincial capital investment decisions within each school district.” These plans must, among other things, take into consideration education program requirements and trends, operating capacities and current condition of existing facilities, current and anticipated changes in land use, local community and economic development strategies and “provide a district wide framework for other key local decisions such as school consolidations
and locations for district programs.” Coun. Janna Simons asked that council support having staff draft a letter to the school district. Coun. Malcolm Makayev followed up with a request that council have an opportunity to review the letter before it is sent, with the concern that Sicamous’ high school may be looked at for consolidation. “There’s a report coming out… March 10 from the school board with recommendations, and some of
these recommendations schools closing,” said could be consolidation Mallmes, “but by all of schools in (School) means, the more letDistrict #83…,” said ters they get, the more Makayev. “The capac- weight it has.

competitive edge that will keep things moving forward and bring people back to work in about six-weeks time. “The last thing we want to do is lay people off in the community… but we’ll certainly be bringing them back as soon as these boats roll through the shop. It’s a positive thing coming out of it and hopefully
that diversification will keep us working and keep the people in the community working too.” Asked how the slowdown might impact the local tourist industry this summer, Cooper suggested the area may see more visitors from the U.S. this year on account of the low value of the Canadian dollar. “I mean an 80-cent dollar… that’s a re-
ally good deal for an American tourist coming up here,” said Cooper. “They can take in some really great tourist spots, come to the Roots and Blues, come to the lake and the houseboat industry. We really need to be focusing energy down there.” Sicamous Mayor Terry Rysz is also optimistic, suggesting the community’s annual Alberta guests will ben-
efit from the drop in gasoline prices. “From my point of view, when it comes to the community, I actually see where it could be very positive because gas now is less than a dollar…,” said Rysz. “People, I think, may have the time and also still can afford to come here. I don’t think it’s going to have that big of an impact, negatively, on Sicamous.”

OPINION
Diversification key to future growth
T
o be a player in the oil game, it appears wise to either hedge one’s bets or not play at all. If Canada was getting too big for its big-oil britches, Saudi Arabia took care of that, proving who truly holds all the cards in the global oil market. Despite a recent bump, oil prices are expected to stay low until summer when demand picks up. Perhaps by then the energy sector in North America will return to what it was and Canadians can resume their patriotic duty of paying exorbitant prices at the gas pump. One lesson, or reminder, picked up locally from this slump is the importance of diversification. While there’s clearly big money to be earned supporting the oil sector, in the end, the industry is like any other – potentially unstable and, ultimately, out of our control. Furthermore, large-scale energy extraction operations also happen to be bloody expensive (hence the slowdown) and, frankly, environmentally destructive. In the case of hydraulic fracturing (fracking), there’s also potential for property damage. Residents of Fox Creek, Alta., recently went through two earthquakes, one measuring 4.4 on the Richter scale. Both events are being linked to a local fracking operation. The federal and B.C. governments have invested a lot of effort and tax dollars into supporting oil and gas extraction as though they’re the only thing keeping the nation afloat. Oh, wait, maybe they are. And that’s our fault. And now we’re seeing the apparent risk in this. We’ve all heard stories about the economic prospects of a “green economy” and how new jobs could be created, building and supporting cleaner energy options and related infrastructure. However, there still appears to be little appetite to make that shift. Incidentally, it was recently reported that the Canadian wind-energy sector experienced a record-breaking year in 2014, with capacity to power up to three million homes yearly. And we’re not talking about a lot of wind farms here. No, it’s unlikely the wind industry will supplant the oil industry as an energy resource or mass provider of employment. But there are opportunities and wind power is arguably nowhere near as great a risk to the environment or, potentially, our increasingly warming climate. The point is, it is folly to rely entirely on oil. Investing more in other energy sources might also help establish greater energy independence. The nation could stand to gain from both.

Teachers adapting but not the BCGEU By Tom Fletcher News Columnist
VICTORIA – The B.C. education ministry put on a forum on the future of education last week, bringing together public and private school leaders with experts from around the world. I watched the proceedings via webcast from the Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Vancouver, which gives you a hint about the forces pressing in on our centuryold industrial model of schooling. First up was Andreas Schleicher, on video link from his office in Paris, where he is director of education and skills for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. He began with the international problem of people coming out of university who can’t find jobs, amid a skills shortage. Schleicher said this is happening today because, “it’s not what you know but
what you can do with what you know.” Some education systems are adapting better than others as the value of merely passing on facts has declined. He said these days, almost any student can pass any multiple-choice test if they have a smartphone. The question for parents is what to do “if you want your child to be smarter than a smartphone.” The OECD runs international testing that consistently ranks B.C. and Canada among the best schools in the world, and Schleicher described how that testing has evolved to keep up. But our progress in the past 10 years has tended to be slower than some Asian countries, despite B.C. being on the “high end of investment” in education. He warned against the trap of the industrial school model, “pouring money in” to “do more of the same.” Some of the best results emerging from a decade of

digitally-driven globalization have been achieved through innovations that were financed through bigger class sizes, Schleicher said. This was too much for one B.C. Teachers’ Federation representative in the audience, who introduced herself as someone who spent the last transformational decade working for the union, not in a classroom. She disputed the OECD’s financial calculations, lecturing some of the world’s top economists that based on “spending power,” B.C. schools are cash starved. She followed this with the laundry list of BCTF demands that hasn’t changed in 40 years – smaller classes, more prep time, more money. The keynote speaker was Yong Zhao, University of Oregon professor of educational measurement, who gave a highly entertaining critique of standardized testing and creativity-crushing

drills of the basics. (You can find a video archive at www. bcedplan.ca.) Yong sparked a lively discussion about the need for foundation skills, which he and others agreed remain vital to success. The issue seems to be how to instil those basics while avoiding the disengagement of students who see school as irrelevant to their lives. Education Minister Peter Fassbender announced at the forum that the province is about to unveil new curriculum that moves toward individual learning for all students. And he said there will be a series of experiments conducted at yet-tobe-identified B.C. schools to pioneer new models of learning. BCTF president Jim Iker sat stoically through the proceedings, where speakers described integrating community groups and businesses directly with schools. That’s underway here, with trades training in particular.

A public leisure department also provides environmental and outdoor education, as well as multicultural awareness. A public leisure department is a necessary part of a healthy community and it is essential for community vitality and growth. Odd that the recently elected mayor and council, which collectively marketed themselves as Sicamous’ growth coaches, have chosen the elimination of an essential factor in community well-being and growth a mere few weeks into their term of office. It appears as a nasty harbinger of the community’s future.

Regarding the proposed culture centre – that’s the last thing we need in this already tax-burdened town. There are many more areas in Sicamous
Sudoko
The District of Sicamous’ mayor and council have decreed the program and events manager’s position will cease to exist on March 1. The availability of public leisure services is essential. These services are a necessary part of a healthy community. The primary goal of public leisure services is to make available wellbeing opportunities for every resident of the community. This means mental, emotional and physical well-being, by way of varied multiple programs. Public leisure services provide pre-school leisure opportunities, basic and advanced leisure skill development for school-aged children, social opportunities for teens, plus basic and advanced leisure opportunities for adults and seniors. A public leisure department also provides special event co-ordination, support for local organizations – so folks are better able to do things for themselves – and this department encourages and supports all sports and sporting events.

Eagles find no charity on ice By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
The Sicamous Eagles showed their charitable side last week, though their opponents had none for them. Friday night’s home game for the Eagles began with a cheque presentation by the team to the Canadian Cancer Society. The team donated $2,500 – money raised earlier this hockey seasons through the auctioning of pink jerseys. That may have been the highlight of the evening for the Eagles, who wound up on the losing end of a 5-1 tally versus guests the 100 Mile House Wranglers. The Cariboo cowboys scored twice in the first period, twice in the second and once more in
the third before Eagle Samuel Subert was able to find the back of the 100 Mile net with a marker at 2:47 off Braden Lozinski and Darien Blight. Subert was named the game’s first star. On the Wednesday evening prior, the Eagles were at the Art Holding Memorial Arena where they received a 4-3 toasting by the Heat. Sicamous was first on the board with a first-frame marker by Justin Wilde off Subert. The Heat replied later in the period with a powerplay conversion. By the end of the second frame, the Heat was ahead 3-2, with Carter Hansen having found the back of the net on a power play off Ashton Wake and
Blight. The final goal of the evening was delivered in the third period, with 11 seconds left on the clock, by Nicholas Cuglietta. This powerplay conversion was assisted by Ben Campbell. Eagles netminder Patrick Kasper was named the game’s second star after stopping 39 out of 43 shots on net. On Saturday, Jan. 31, hosts the Kamloops Storm rained down hard on the Eagles to earn a 4-1 victory. Riley Jepson potted the evening’s first goal at 19:40 in the first period. Nathan Grieve provided the assist. Kasper once again received second star honours, having stopped 46 out of 49 shots.

SAMHA: Association reminds parents to keep focus on the teams.
By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
Sicamous Business Directory
No formal action has been taken against adults involved in a skirmish during a minor hockey game in Sicamous. Penticton Minor Hockey’s acting president, Val Fulton says her organization continues to investigate a fight that occurred in the stands on Jan. 17, during a Midget Tier 2 game between Penticton and Salmon Arm at Sicamous and District Recreation Centre. The incident was reported to RCMP, who said it started over a penalty call, beginning as a verbal dispute that led to a “physical confrontation in which some punches were thrown.” Police said the parties involved called the fight “consensual.”
“We’re still speaking to some of our parents…,” said Fulton in a Jan. 30 News interview. “We’re actually withholding any information right now until we’ve talked to all of those involved, because we do play this weekend and we don’t want to aggravate the situation.” Fulton said a notice regarding the skirmish has been issued to parents by the Salmon Arm Minor Hockey Association. Its president, Tim Giandomenico, was reluctant to provide the wording of the notice, but said its intent is to remind parents where the focus should be. “Keep the focus on the hockey teams,” said Giandomenico. “They’re going into the playoffs and that team (Salmon Arm) is vying for a provincial cham-
pionship, so they’ve got bigger fish to fry right now.” As for SAMHA’s investigation, Giando-
No one would admit to anything – both parties acted inappropriately, theirs and ours. Tim Giandomenico Salmon Arm Minor Hockey Association
menico says the matter has been dealt with and the organization is moving forward. “No one would admit to anything – both parties acted inappropriately, theirs and ours,” said Giandomenico. “Is there any repercussions? No, I can’t really suspend
anyone for what happened. I think, more than anything, from what I found out, both sides felt just brutally awful for what happened. They really embarrassed themselves.” Giandomenico said the fight in the stands occurred after a Salmon Arm player was knocked down and the Penticton player responsible was thrown out of the game. Giandomenico said the subsequent altercation lasted maybe 10 seconds. “It was over within a snapshot, otherwise it would have been on an iPhone video and all over Canada and North America by now…,” said Giandomenico. “So the gist of it was, it happened in the heat of the moment, they stopped and realized, ‘what are we doing?’ and it was over in the
blink of an eye.” Giandomenico noted the Salmon Arm party involved was not a hockey parent, but he doesn’t excuse what transpired, adding parents are told at the beginning of each season what behaviour is allowable and expected. “I don’t know what to say – it’s something we want to put behind us and learn from it and be better the next time someone’s child is injured on the ice,” said Giandomenico. “The only concern in the stand should be for the safety of that player, regardless of what team you’re cheering for. “Someone gets the appropriate penalty and gets removed from a game, no extra comments need to be made to anyone about that. The right call was made and we move on and play the game.”
