Fire destroys popular highway truck stop By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
A Craigellachie landmark is no more. The Skyline Truck Stop, a popular hub among locals and travellers alike, burned down Monday, Nov. 2. Upset by the loss, Malakwa Fire Chief Joanne Held called the business a local hub and respected employer.
“It employed, at any given time, at least 10 residents of Malakwa , some of them who worked there almost 25 years or more,” said Held. “In the high summer they employed more locals. It was a definite hub and we’re very sorry to see it gone.” Skyline owner Lyle Hainstock was unavailable to comment before press time. Low lying cloud in the mountains of the Eagle Pass contrasted with the thick black
smoke that filled the air Monday morning as firefighters engaged in a battle to contain the fire at the service station/convenience store/ restaurant on the Trans-Canada Highway near the North Fork Bridge. Firefighters were called to the scene shortly after 9 a.m., with Malakwa firefighters arriving soon after. “A crew of mine was on scene by 9:29, and at that point there was already heavy
black smoke emitting from the roof,” said Held, noting a call was immediately made See Firefighters on page 2

Demolition to occur this month By Lachlan Labere Eagle Valley News
The eyesore that is the burned out building at 1305 Rauma Ave. will be coming down by mid-November at the latest. During last week’s council meeting, district community planner Mike Marrs provided an update on the remedial action requirement for the demolition of the former Extreme Power Sports location. Marrs said the property owner was served the action requirement order on Oct. 14. Upon receipt, the owner has 30 days to demolish and remove the building, including its foundation.
The owner had 10 days to appeal the order, but Marrs said that did not happen. “There has been no effort or communications from the owners or the insurance corporation to appeal council’s previous decision,” said Marrs. “That provides that the district can enter on the property and cause the remedial action requirements to be carried out.” If the owner has not followed through with the structure’s demolition in the 30-day period, as per the remedial action order, the district will proceed with the demolition. Anticipating this possibility, staff tendered out the job, and council approved

SUNSHINE Deadline: The District of Sicamous will be tearing down the remains of the former Extreme Power Sports building if its owner fails to do so by mid-November. File photo a tender by Darin Northway for $42,000. Northway had been awarded the contract for the demolition by the building’s insurer,
but funds weren’t made available to proceed with the project. Costs incurred by the district, should it proceed with the de-
molition, will be added to the property taxes and, should the property owner default, the property would be subject to a tax sale.
Firefighters contain blaze, prevent explosion Continued from front
for mutual aid from the Sicamous and Swansea Point fire departments. Firefighters didn’t enter the building until mutual aid arrived. Held said she arrived on the scene about an hour later. Eyeing up the situation, she immediately ordered firefighters out of the building. At this point, it was evident the structure couldn’t be saved. “Every fire is different and it’s hard to predict what it’s going to do and every 30 seconds, the fire doubles in size, so if it was already in the walls and the roof when the call came in.
It doesn’t take long for a fire to take hold and take off,” said Held. “In a perfect world, it would be great if we were on scene the second a fire started, but we all know it’s not a perfect world.” Held said the focus was then placed on an exterior attack, which included protecting the gas pumps, propane tank and the nearby tire shop. “When they did exit the building, they hit the emergency shut-off to the gas tanks,” said Held, explaining there was still a risk as gas would still have been in the pumps, and the tank beneath them.
Need Help?
“We managed to keep it cool, and the propane tank that was behind the building, we kept that from exploding. The tire shop, which is four feet from the building, it got a little bit scorched but it’s still standing.” The fire is believed to have been caused by a space heater in an office on the second floor. From there, the blaze spread quickly to the roof. Held said the blaze was exacerbated by the various automotive chemicals in the structure. No one was reported to have been injured, though there were a lot of tired firefighters

early Tuesday morning. “We left the scene this morning (Nov. 3)… I’m assuming we were here at the hall by about 1:30,” said Held. “I had a member back on the scene at about 7:30 this morning, and a few crews just went back right now to do a
little bit of mop up and pick up the rest of our gear.” Because the building remains dangerous to enter, with a risk of the cinder block walls collapsing, Held couldn’t say when an investigation will commence.

Dairy farmers respond to trade deal The devil is in the details, but at first glance the Trans-Pacific Partnership is not as bad as envisioned. Dairy farmer Jack MacLeod expresses this view when asked about the controversial deal that was feared by many with supply-managed products – mainly dairy, poultry and egg producers. MacLeod said under the agreement the dairy industry will lose 3.25 per cent of its market but will receive compensation. "Honestly, I think it's the best we could have hoped for. We are losing that market share but they are compensating for it, supposedly. He said the rumours appear to be worse than the actual outcome.
"There were some really dire rumours and speculation that we could lose up to 10 per cent of the market, so when it came out that it was just over three it was a bit of a relief. It's still not good but it's better than it could have been, let's put it that way." MacLeod said he will reserve judgement, though, until all the details have been made public. "We're assuming that on the remainder of the market, the tariffs are staying at 200 per cent," he said. "But if they're going to start phasing those down, then all of a sudden you might start getting more milk coming than we anticipated, so the devil is in the details." Henry Bremer, president of the Kamloops Okanagan Dairy Association, expresses a
similar sentiment. "We keep hearing bits and pieces. There's a little bit of mixed feelings. Probably you could say we're cau-
We keep hearing bits and pieces‌ Probably you could say we’re cautiously optimistic. Henry Bremer Kamloops Okanagan Dairy tiously optimistic," he said. "We're glad that supply management got supported throughout the process of negotiations, but a little disappointed we had to give up three-and-a-quarter per cent. I guess there were a lot of details to be worked out but how they're worked out
might help with the loss of the market." Overall, he said, the association is pleased a deal was completed that extends support for local dairy farmers and their families. Regarding concerns about quality of dairy to be imported to replace the 3.25 per cent of the Canadian market, MacLeod said he can't comment as he's not sure where it will be coming from. Bremer said it's hard to know, but expectations are it will be fluid milk coming from the U.S. He said the quality is pretty good but growth hormones are allowed. "If we're talking other countries, there could be other concerns." At a recent business forum in Salmon Arm, Bryan Yu, senior economist with Central
1 Credit Union, the organization that oversees all credit unions in B.C. and Ontario, responded to a question about the TPP. "Generally speaking it would be good, except for some sectors – dairy, cheese, the auto sector – there would be less need for Canadian and North American parts. There are some losers," he said. "But the point is, you're expanding your partners. Canada is a small country, a small market, we need to get products to market‌ If we would not be part of a trading block, we would be shut out of those opportunities. There is no question in my mind we should be part of that block." The TPP is a proposed agreement between 12 Pacific Rim countries that was signed on Oct. 5.

Sicamous residents targeted by phone scam Police are once again warning residents to be on their guard for a telephone scam targeting area residents. Sicamous RCMP say they’ve received several reports from individuals who have received calls from someone claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency. “This scam is becoming a growing concern for the RCMP in British Columbia as we are receiving numerous complaints daily and the numbers keep growing,� warn police. “Knowing exactly what to do should it happen to you is very important to prevent identity and financial theft.�
Some of the recent telephone scams involve the threatening of taxpayers or use aggressive and forceful language to scare people into paying a fictitious debt to the CRA. “Victims receive a phone call from a person claiming to work for the CRA and saying that taxes are owed,� say police. “The caller requests immediate payment by credit card or convinces the victims to purchase a prepaid credit card (the CRA never requests prepaid credit cards) and to call back immediately with the information. The taxpayer is often threatened with court charges, jail or deportation.�
This scam has been successful because the caller is very aggressive, and if hung up on, will continually call back. Due to the advancement in computer technology/hacking, the calls are sometimes being routed through systems that can display any phone number the scammer chooses, which in recent cases, has been the local RCMP Detachment phone number, from the area where the call is received. If you want to confirm that a CRA representative has contacted you, call the CRA at 1-800-959-8281 for individual concerns or 1-800-959-5525 for business-related calls.
If the caller identifies themself as a police officer, obtain their name and badge number and tell the caller you will phone them back through the nonemergency number of the police agency where you live. Make sure you obtain this number through verified channels, such as the White Pages of your phone book or a police agency website. Individuals should be vigilant when they receive, either by telephone, mail, text message or email, a fraudulent communication that claims to be from the CRA and requesting personal information.

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.
Operating under cloak of secrecy
I
t is evident the B.C. Liberal government has operated in a cloak of secrecy. Premier Christy Clark and her various cabinet ministers can protest all day long, act indignant and vow to ensure MLAs and staff respect the commitment to open government so earnestly promised during the last election campaign. The reality is this government’s actions render all those words pointless. We just finished reading Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham’s scathing report that found various arms of government — including the premier’s own office — have deleted emails, withheld information requested or otherwise has acted in such a way as to deliberately not leave a paper trail. Having just been torched by perhaps the most damning report during its time in power, we learn this week that the practice of leaving no information crumbs seems to have no boundaries. When the Opposition NDP and the Vancouver Sun requested information — documents, emails, briefing notes, anything — related to the health-ministry firings scandal, they were told there were no records. An employee who was fired later committed suicide and there is not a shred of any dialogue in government? We echo NDP critic Katrine Conroy’s incredulity as stated on Tuesday in the legislature: “So, the head of the public service didn’t have a single record over two years about the biggest human resources scandal in B.C. history. Forgive us if we find that a bit hard to swallow.” A culture of delete and one in which government takes pains to not record anything is reflective of a government that has something to hide. Does it? -Kamloops This Week

Province on defence over email deletions By Tom Fletcher News Columnist
VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark’s government has been steadily backed into a corner on its apparent deletion of emails involving sensitive government topics. A week-long barrage of accusations by the NDP opposition peaked with their most damning evidence of a cover-up, in the long-running case of eight health researchers suspended or fired from drug approval studies. Most have been paid settlements or reinstated after the biggest personnel management blunder in memory. One committed suicide. We are now into a second independent review of this tragic case, after an independent lawyer was unable to determine what went wrong, because she couldn’t compel testimony or demand records. It is now in the hands of B.C.’s new Ombudsperson, Jay Chalke, who has that authority.
Everyone agrees that the deputy health minister of the day, Graham Whitmarsh, was legally responsible for the decisions and records. Yet somehow the only record released to the NDP for the two-year period of the firings and subsequent investigation was a heavily blanked-out update from his successor, Stephen Brown, to the premier’s deputy, John Dyble. It refers to an “update on litigation resolution from investigation,” the substance of which is blanked out, and offers to discuss the situation by phone. Here’s an exchange between NDP MLA Adrian Dix and Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk: Dix: “Can the minister explain why the Office of the Premier, the Deputy Minister to the Premier, has no records and why the successive Deputy Minister of Health had one record over two years?” Virk: “The suggestion

from the member opposite that there are no documents is false…. There are more documents now that the Ombudsperson has conduct of the matter and is undertaking a comprehensive review. I fully expect that he will do a comprehensive review and will consent to the release of more documents.” There will be more sound and fury over this, but only Chalke’s report can provide new information. And even then, the damage is done, settlements and non-disclosure deals have been signed, and Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake have formally apologized. The larger issue is how freedom of information legislation should work. Should the opposition be able to second-guess decisions of bureaucrats by going through their emails? The traditional answer is no. Elected officials are responsible, even if they had no actual role, as should always be the case in hiring

and firing ministry staff and awarding government work contracts. The buck stops with Lake and Clark, not their deputies. There are sound reasons for this. Consider another sensitive decision, to shoot wolves from the air in a last-ditch effort to preserve dwindling mountain caribou herds. One can imagine the agonizing discussion that goes on behind the scenes, as provincial and First Nations wildlife experts watch caribou herds dwindle despite widespread habitat protection efforts. They not only make the technical call, they have to pull the trigger. Would wildlife biologists be able to provide frank advice for or against this decision if they knew their names and opinions could later be used in a political battle in the legislature and in the streets? No. And can you run a public service if everyone is subjected to the scrutiny that only politicians choose to endure? No.

A commercially inspected and licensed kitchen is a complimentary project. Built in the area that was a boardroom and former kitchen, this is to allow for processing what is grown in the garden and large quantity food bank donations, as well as teaching programs such as Food Skills for Families. An additional project was to create a wheelchair-accessible washroom and a special type of pathway around the garden beds that will allow those with mobility challenges to join us. The end is in sight, the society is thrilled
with how it is going and have had incredible support from so many people; financially and in the form of volunteer labour and donations of materials. There are just a couple of more hurdles to get over and it is done. As seems to always be the case, there was more project than budget, and there are two pieces of work that will not be able to be completed without more support. How can you help? Well, a $150 donation would buy a section of fence, or 15 square-feet of flooring, and any do-
nations of any amount would be a huge help. Drop by the centre (it’s a mess, but they will tour you through) and see how you can help, or mail a donation to Eagle Valley Community Support Society, Box 777, Sicamous BC V0E 2V0. What seems a long time ago, a volunteer observed, “you know, the things that made it easier for my generation to get by in tough times was that we knew how to grow a garden, and we were taught by our moms and our grandmothers how to use of

The volunteer passed away last year, far too young, but the society is determined to honour her by finishing the garden and kitchen this fall. Please support the completion of Sandy’s Garden.

For quite a number of years they have been focused on fundraising and grant writing to complete a project that will enable them to provide some very important supports to the community. First, the addition of a raised bed garden project for their large backyard that also includes fruit trees, berry bushes and grape vines ,as well as a natural playscape for children and a serenity garden space.

Our company has been providing quality timbers and beams to customers for over 30 years. In 1983, Alan and his wife, Kim returned to the family farm to raise their two children. At this time, Alan started to re-build the mill that he had once worked in as a child. It took a year to re-build the old mill. Alan started cutting ties for the Railroad which were in great demand at the time. He was also cutting cedar cants for a re-saw mill along with beams and timbers for many homes that where built in Sicamous and the area. Alan and Kim operated this mill for seven years. Over time, the orders kept increasing and the old mill could not keep up with the increase of large oversized timber and beams. In 1990, Kim’s father (Merv Siegrist) and mother Anne had moved to Sicamous to become a partner. Alan and Merv bought a new mill large enough to fill the orders of the beams and timbers that the old saw mill could not handle. The next generation has now joined the business. Alan and his son Tyler work the mill together making a great father/son team. Our team at Hyde Sawmill takes great pride in their workmanship and in supplying a superior product to customers.

While denied the win, the Sicamous Eagles still impressed during the team’s Friday, Oct. 30th game versus the Revelstoke Grizzlies. The Forum home team got off to a strong start with a goal in the first 11 seconds. Eagle Scott Robinson responded at 16:06 with a marker off Cameron Flinton and Tyler Collins. Minutes later, the Grizzlies potted a power-play conversion. Next to ripple the mesh was Ian Jarvis, who added a second goal for the Eagles off
Brendan Sime-Vivan and Landon Fuller. At 2:51, however, the Grizzlies potted a third goal, giving them a 3-1 lead going into second period. The Grizzlies dominated the second frame, adding four more goals to their tally. Their eighth was scored early in the third frame. Revelstoke coach Ryan Parent credited the Eagles, suggesting the final goal isn’t a fair reflection of team’s effort. “I don’t know if it was an 8-2 hockey game, but we played within our structure and played well and got the two points,” said Parent.

HILDEGARD MARIANNE INSELBERG Hildegard Marianne Inselberg, 95, of Sicamous, BC died October 19, 2015 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital, Salmon Arm, BC., following a brief illness.

Sicamous and Columbia Shuswap Regional District Area E Labour Market Assessment and Planning Project
LABOUR MARKET SURVEY The project and this Survey is driven by one question:
• What can Sicamous and CSRD Area E do to be a more successful place to work and do business? The purpose of this survey is to identify labour market needs in Sicamous and CSRD Area E.
FINAL COMMUNITY MEETINGS November 17 & November 24.
THE FIRST MEETING will be a presentation that outlines all of the information that has been collected, and helps people to understand the relevance/importance. In addition to the findings being presented, there will be some time for discussion. Specifically around, given the findings, what are some strategic actions Sicamous and Area E might take to improve their situation? In addition to the information shared and discussed during this meeting there will also be a hard-copy final report that people can have (both paper copies and also available online at www.sicamouslabour.com). This will be an evening meeting, held at the Sicamous Arena. November 17. Doors open at 5:45 PM. Meeting starts at 6:00 PM. Meeting should run to around 8:30 PM. Refreshments/snacks provided.
THE SECOND MEETING will be a day-long planning session, hosted by our workshop and planning facilitator. The goal of this meeting will be to create a detailed action plan around what Sicamous and Area E can do to make the area a better place to live, work, and do business given the research results. The end result will be an action plan with specific tasks, timelines, and people to involve. A map, if you will, that defines the needed steps and outlines how to begin working towards them as a community. November 24. Doors open at 8:30 AM. Meeting starts at 9:00AM. Meeting should run to around 4:00 PM with lunch provided as well as refreshments/snacks provided. Free Child Care Services provided by Sicamous/ Malakwa Early Childhood Development Committee.
