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 un-available 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 firefight-ers 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

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, dis-trict community plan-ner Mike Marrs pro-vided an update on the remedial action require-ment for the demolition of the former Extreme Power Sports location. Marrs said the prop-erty owner was served the action requirement order on Oct. 14. Upon receipt, the owner has 30 days to demolish and remove the build-ing, including its foun-dation.

The owner had 10 days to appeal the or-der, but Marrs said that did not happen.

“There has been no effort or communica-tions from the owners or the insurance corpora-tion to appeal council’s previous decision,” said Marrs. “That provides that the district can en-ter on the property and cause the remedial ac-tion requirements to be carried out.”

If the owner has not followed through with the structure’s demoli-tion in the 30-day peri-od, as per the remedial action order, the district will proceed with the demolition. Anticipat-ing this possibility, staff tendered out the job, and council approved

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 prop-erty owner default, the property would be sub-ject to a tax sale.

Firefighters contain blaze, prevent explosionfor mutual aid from the Sicamous and Swansea Point fire departments. Firefighters didn’t enter the building until mu-tual aid arrived.

Held said she arrived on the scene about an hour later. Eyeing up the situation, she im-mediately ordered firefighters out of the building. At this point, it was evident the struc-ture couldn’t be saved.

“Every fire is dif-ferent and it’s hard to predict what it’s going to do and every 30 sec-onds, 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 sec-ond 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.

“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 automo-tive chemicals in the structure.

No one was report-ed 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 col-lapsing, Held couldn’t say when an investiga-tion will commence.

Police are once again warning residents to be on their guard for a tele-phone scam targeting area residents.

Sicamous RCMP say they’ve received several reports from in-dividuals who have re-ceived calls from some-one claiming to be from the Canada Revenue Agency.

“This scam is be-coming a growing con-cern for the RCMP in British Columbia as we are receiving numer-ous 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 � nancial theft.”

Some of the recent telephone scams in-volve the threatening of taxpayers or use aggres-sive and forceful lan-guage to scare people into paying a � ctitious debt to the CRA.

“Victims receive a phone call from a per-son 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 threat-ened 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 technolo-gy/hacking, the calls are sometimes being routed through systems that can display any phone number the scammer chooses, which in re-cent cases, has been the local RCMP Detach-ment phone number, from the area where the call is received.

If you want to con-� rm that a CRA repre-sentative 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 identi� es themself as a police of� cer, obtain their name and badge num-ber and tell the caller you will phone them back through the non-emergency number of the police agency where you live. Make sure you obtain this number through veri� ed chan-nels, such as the White Pages of your phone book or a police agency website.

Individuals should be vigilant when they receive, either by tele-phone, mail, text mes-sage or email, a fraudu-lent communication that claims to be from the CRA and request-ing personal informa-tion. To � nd out more

information about how you can protect your-self from fraud and to hear an example of a real scam telephone call, visit; www.cra-arc.gc.ca/fraudprevention.

Dairy farmers respond to trade dealThe devil is in the de-

tails, but at � rst glance the Trans-Paci� c Part-nership 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 produc-ers.

MacLeod said under the agreement the dairy industry will lose 3.25 per cent of its market but will receive com-pensation.

"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 de-tails 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 com-ing than we anticipated, so the devil is in the de-tails."

Henry Bremer, presi-dent of the Kamloops Okanagan Dairy As-sociation, 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-

tiously optimistic," he said. "We're glad that supply management got supported throughout the process of negotia-tions, but a little disap-pointed 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 re-place the 3.25 per cent of the Canadian mar-ket, 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 expecta-tions are it will be � uid milk coming from the U.S. He said the qual-ity is pretty good but growth hormones are allowed.

"If we're talking oth-er countries, there could be other concerns."

At a recent busi-ness forum in Salmon Arm, Bryan Yu, senior economist with Central

1 Credit Union, the or-ganization 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 pro-posed agreement be-tween 12 Paci� c Rim countries that was signed on Oct. 5.

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 op-position peaked with their most damning evidence of a cover-up, in the long-run-ning case of eight health re-searchers suspended or fired from drug approval studies.

Most have been paid set-tlements or reinstated after the biggest personnel man-agement blunder in memo-ry. One committed suicide.

We are now into a sec-ond 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 re-cord 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 in-vestigation,” the substance of which is blanked out, and offers to discuss the situa-tion by phone.

Here’s an exchange be-tween 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 suc-cessive 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 under-taking a comprehensive re-view. I fully expect that he will do a comprehensive re-view 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 dam-age 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 deci-sions of bureaucrats by go-ing through their emails?

The traditional answer is no. Elected officials are re-sponsible, 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 Na-tions wildlife experts watch caribou herds dwindle de-spite 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.

Operating under cloak of secrecy

OPINION

It 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 Commis-sioner Elizabeth Denham’s scathing report that found various arms of government — in-cluding the premier’s own office — have de-leted 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 Van-couver Sun requested information — docu-ments, emails, briefing notes, anything — related to the health-ministry firings scandal, they were told there were no records.

An employee who was fired later commit-ted suicide and there is not a shred of any dialogue in government?

We echo NDP critic Katrine Conroy’s in-credulity as stated on Tuesday in the legis-lature:

“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 gov-ernment takes pains to not record anything is reflective of a government that has some-thing to hide.

The Eagle Valley Community Support Society is on the last leg of a journey to realize a long held dream.

For quite a number of years they have been focused on fundrais-ing and grant writing to complete a project that will enable them to provide some very im-portant supports to the community.

First, the addition of a raised bed garden project for their large backyard that also in-cludes fruit trees, berry bushes and grape vines ,as well as a natural playscape for children and a serenity garden space. The garden will serve several functions, producing food for the food bank, teaching gardening, connecting children to the joy that is a mud pie kitchen, a willow tunnel and a

grassy hill, and the pro-vision of an enclosed quiet space surrounded by fragrant trees and bushes for counselling, breastfeeding and tak-ing a break.

A commercially in-spected and licensed kitchen is a compli-mentary 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 wheel-chair-accessible wash-room and a special type of pathway around the garden beds that will al-low 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 cou-ple 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 Commu-nity 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 grand-mothers how to use of

that food and make it stretch. You have a great big back yard out there. Maybe you could make better use of it.”

That volunteer sowed the seed, and it has consumed the so-ciety ever since. The volunteer passed away last year, far too young, but the society is deter-mined to honour her by finishing the garden and kitchen this fall.

Please support the completion of Sandy’s Garden.

Many will benefit. Submitted by the Ea-

gle Valley Community Support Society.

Hard work and determination will pay off for Shea Weber in February when he suits up in the red and whites of Team Canada.

The 24-year-old Sicamous product was tagged last month to represent the nation in the 2010 Olympic Games. It’s a goal Weber had been working towards, and an opportu-nity he’s proud to be part of.

“The Olympics are a very special event, not only for hockey but for winter sports and to be able to play for your country and compete for a medal is kind of neat,” says Weber.

The 6’4”, 234 lb. Nashville Predators defenceman will be sporting the maple leaf with other big names in hockey like Scott

Niedermayer (Anaheim Ducks), Roberto Luongo (Vancouver Canucks), Chris Pronger (Philadelphia Flyers) and Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Pen-guins).

Apart from a camp held last summer, We-ber guesses the team may have a couple of days to gel in February before hitting the ice in Whistler, and he’s interest-ed in seeing how everyone fi ts. But Weber’s mom and dad, Tracy and James, don’t ex-pect Shea will have any problems.

“Whatever they want him to do, he’ll do it,” said James. “He’s a team-fi rst guy, he’s not a selfi sh player at all.”

Both parents share what could be described as a subdued excite-ment for their son and the hon-our that’s been bestowed up on him.

“Shea phoned home and said ‘I’ve been chosen

to play in the Olympics, and I said ‘okay,’” Tracy commented, explaining it’s kind of a family trait not to overreact – one that Shea

shares. But she and James who, with Shea,share roots in Sicamous minor hockey, are defi nitely excited, and are hoping to attendat least one of their son’s games.

Sicamous Eagles manager Wayne Marchis also pretty excited by the news that Shea, an Eagle alumni, will be playing forhis community and country at the Games.March says Shea has been totally focusedthroughout his career on what he wanted todo: make it to the NHL. In the process, Sheahelped the Eagles win the KIJHL West-ern Canadians in 2001-02; he helped takethe Kelowna Rockets to three consecutiveWHL Memorial Cup championship games,including the win in 2004; and, after signingwith Nashville in 2004, he helped the Ca-

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 � ll 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 Ea-gles still impressed dur-ing the team’s Friday, Oct. 30th game versus the Revelstoke Griz-zlies.

The Forum home team got off to a strong start with a goal in the first 11 seconds. Eagle Scott Robinson re-sponded at 16:06 with a marker off Cameron Flinton and Tyler Col-lins. Minutes later, the Grizzlies potted a pow-er-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 Griz-zlies potted a third goal, giving them a 3-1 lead going into second pe-riod.

The Grizzlies domi-nated 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 ef-fort.

“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.
