Ray Hansen didn’t lose his job to a re-cent fire at Elite Forest Products, but he did lose a big part of his livelihood.

On the morning of Thursday, Nov. 12, Hansen was in his workshop on the Mal-akwa mill site. He and a welder were working on a loader.

Pamela Martin, Hansen’s spouse, said the two were back at Hansen’s onsite resi-dence having lunch when the fire began.

“Apparently a flare sparked up some saw-dust and the loader caught fire,” said Mar-tin. “Ray had time to actually go through

the front doors to open up the back doors be-cause there was a pump in the back. We have our own fire pumps… By the time he got the back door unlocked, he couldn’t get back through. It was that quick.”

Among the com-bustible contents of the shed – including hundreds of gallons of oil, according to Mar-tin – were Hansen’s tools, approximately $50,000 worth, all lost in the blaze. Neither the shop nor the tools were insured.

“Nobody was al-lowed in the shop but Ray, it was his per-sonal shop to invent his things that he invents,” said Martin. “That’s what makes him so

good as a manager – in-stead of buying new, he built.”

Pamela’s daughter, Cristina Martin, has set up a GoFundMe page (https://www.gofund-me.com/malakwafire) to raise funds needed to replace the tools.

“Their financial sta-bility mostly came from Raymond contracting himself as a welder, builder, contracting, basically a jack of all trades…,” says Cris-tina on GoFundMe. “Unfortunately living on the mill site, but having no ownership to it, means that they have no coverage or insurance for their be-longings, and now that the mill has been sold they were in the middle of moving. His main

source of income has been demolished along with their spirits.”

No one was injured in the fire, and the mill – which has ceased op-erations for the winter – was otherwise left unscathed.

During her call to 911, Pamela reported Hansen and the welder were unaccounted for. But she said they were located as soon as she got off the phone.

The Malakwa Vol-unteer Fire Department received the page just before noon, and Fire Chief Joanne Held said the first fire truck was at the mill at 12:15. While en route, Held said the Sicamous Vol-unteer Fire Department was paged to provide mutual aid.

Upon arrival, it was apparent the old, wood shed was lost, so all ef-forts went into contain-ing the blaze, prevent-ing it from spreading to another nearby struc-ture and a sawdust pile.

“The main concern once we arrived… was to protect the expo-sures and stop it from getting to the sawdust pile, which was about 100 feet away from the building,” said Held.

Firefighters were on the scene until about 6 p.m.

This was the sec-ond major fire in the area of Craigellachie for the Malakwa and Sicamous fire depart-ments. Both were in-volved in putting out the Skyline Truck Stop fire 10 days prior.

Sicamous council has budgeted $300,000 for a sculptural con-cept to adorn the future roundabout on Highway 97A.

The concept was presented at last week’s council meeting. De-signed by McElhanney Consulting Services, and funded by the Min-istry of Transportation and Infrastructure) the proposed roundabout sculpture includes a layered mix of rounded horizontal and verti-cal panels, animated by lighting. A report from McElhanney notes foreground panels can be used to display art-works, etc., and be re-placed seasonally, or when special events are being promoted.

Four variations of the concept were presented to council, varying with the materials proposed for use. Construction costs for each range between $305,000 and $410,000 (plus GST and 20 to 30 per cent contingency). Council chose the least expen-sive, which includes panels of corten- and brushed-stainless steel.

About half of the budgeted cost is slated to come from general revenue, while Mayor Terry Rysz is hopeful the remainder (if not all) will be funded through grant money or other opportunities.

“Even though we’ve got it in the budget, the resources could come through possibly a grant

or an association or regional district,” said Rysz. “I’m not expect-ing it to cost the taxpay-er of Sicamous the full $300,000.”

Rysz said there’s opportunity for coun-cil to seek input from the Columbia Shus-wap Regional District, the Splatsin and other stakeholders so they too might be represented in the final design.

Earlier this year, the ministry announced it would be investing about $7 million into the construction of a roundabout at the 97A/Main Street intersection to improve traffic flow, as well as driver and pe-destrian safety. The steel panels proposed for the roundabout will be ar-ranged in such a way as to block sightlines, keeping drivers focused

on the road ahead. “That’s how the

roundabouts work. You’re only supposed to look left, not anywhere else,” ministry project manager Rampaul Du-lay explained at an open house. “That’s why you always see some kind of feature in the middle of the roundabout.”

PLEASE STOP SPEEDING BEFORE SPEEDING

VICTORIA – We will soon learn what Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have in mind for Canada’s renewed effort to influence climate change.

As they prepare to join the 40,000 people jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations summit to deal with human impact on the world’s weather, here is some context for what is to come in December and be-yond.

Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion served as environment minister un-der former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin. Then, as Liberal leader, Dion’s proposed “green shift” car-bon tax was pivotal only in ending his leadership. With a majority government this time, he promises the entire federal cabinet will be in-volved.

Dion gave a revealing

interview to The Globe and Mail last week about his ex-perience in government.

“The old system was to give the file of the environ-ment to the minister of the environment and say, ‘deal with it, be the hero of the en-vironment groups, but don’t bother us because we have jobs to create and an econ-omy to grow,’” Dion said. “That will not work.”

It certainly didn’t work, which is not surprising since Dion is admitting the Liber-als considered the environ-ment ministry a mere public relations tool. This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States reject-ed it in a unanimous vote of Congress.

We now understand more about those environ-mental groups, most funded by U.S. billionaires to tar-get the Canadian oil and gas industry while the U.S. booms.

Dion’s ill-fated “green

shift” wasn’t just about greenhouse gases. He in-tended to impose a national carbon tax and use the pro-ceeds to eliminate child poverty.

This concept is back, on a global scale. If you’ve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick animated commercial spon-sored by the UN, featuring animals running the world from the seats of the Gen-eral Assembly. “We have a plan,” trumpets the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change but to eliminate poverty as well.

One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China and India untouched. And while Canada endures false alle-gations of subsidizing fos-sil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on av-erage at a third of Canadian prices.

China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public rela-tions gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent.

Here in B.C., Clark in-tends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris. We’ll see if it includes another increase in B.C.’s vaunted carbon tax, which now translates to about sev-en cents on a litre of gaso-line.

Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, provincial and lo-cal tax. In Metro Vancouver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. The B.C. government admits its post-carbon tax reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was largely due to the global recession of 2008-09. Now with crude oil at historic low prices, B.C.’s carbon tax is a weak signal lost in the noise of a world-wide glut of oil and gas.

Canada must be a voice for peace

OPINION

We were appalled by the acts, angry at the perpetrators and bewildered at the motivations.

Mostly, there is sadness. Sadness at the mur-der of the innocent, the most unjustifiable of crimes. But sadness, too, at this assault on peace.

Were France’s streets safe, or was it an il-lusion? If safety was an illusion there, then is it an illusion in other places, like Canada? If we are not safe, should we be scared? And if we are scared, does that mean that the terror-ists win?

The problem is, it’s not as simple as win-ning and losing, or good versus evil, or us versus them. It’s hard to fathom, behind the wanton terror, but the other side believes its cause is right and just, too. And though we must not allow terror to triumph, the threat is scattered and unidentifiable. It’s tempting to seek vengeance, but where do we go and what can we hope to accomplish there?

It’s not wholly wrong to wage war. In-deed, it would be wrong to meekly condone Islamic State’s violence and human rights atrocities. Primarily, though, Canada must be a voice for peace in the world. It may be that in this instance, we will need to fight for peace, but if we must fight, it should be done with the belief that there exists a better way.

The shootings and the bombings that ter-rorized Paris last week do not signal that the world is spinning into a descent toward war and violence and death, because it isn’t. Rather, as the world revolves, humanity con-tinues to evolve toward a more peaceful exis-tence. It’s hard to believe in times like these, but it’s happening, though slowly, too slowly.

Mahatma Gandhi said, “There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.” Peace must be not only our hope, but our guiding principle. It must be so. World peace depends on it.

“If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.”

This particular ver-sion of the well-known adage was delivered by the nauseeatingly cute rabbit character Thumper in the Disney classic Bambi. Given the double negative and, oh, the fact he’s a ficti-tious forest critter, it’s unlikely Thumper was previously exposed to much in the way of fan-cy book learning. I also question the wisdom of saying nothing at all.

Recently, I was contacted by a num-ber of individuals who had something not en-tirely nice to say about someone else. The calls weren’t related – not even from the same communities – but there were commonalities. These included a mix of concern, speculation/accusation and seem-ingly zero communica-tion with the “perpetra-tor” (for lack of a better word).

Technically, the com-plainants did choose to say something over not saying anything. But they chose to say it to me, a newspaper report-er. Of course I’m always keen to receive story ideas and tips. However, I’m not thrilled about rocking boats without cause, especially when the complainant might have quickly and even amicably quelled his or her concerns simply by speaking with (not to) the subject of their com-plaint.

Not having some-thing nice to say about someone shouldn’t jus-tify saying anything. It’s all in the delivery right, an exercise of civility and manners.

This exchange can begin with a question as innocuous as, “Hey, what’s going on?” Peo-ple are always curious, and there’s no reason to suspect you might suspect something isn’t quite right. Additionally, people, at least in my experience, are usually OK with sharing a word or two at the very least about what it is they’re doing.

Allow me to elabo-rate.

You: “Hey, what’s going on?”

Me (walking through the neighbourhood with a six-foot ladder and screwdriver in hand): “Hey, I’m finally going

to remove the Home for Sale sign the for-mer owner of my house placed high up on a hydro pole about a year ago.”

You: “When did you buy your home?”

Me: “About a year ago.”

(This exchange might have happened had the two people walking by me actu-ally bothered to stop and chat, instead of commenting between themselves with ample volume about how sus-picious I appeared with ladder and screwdriver in hand. At least I wasn’t wearing a black bala-clava.)

I get how it might be easier to call the local media than risk becom-ing entangled in real life confrontation. Perhaps our capacity for this has been dampened by the Internet, where the an-tithesis of civil debate is rampant. Case in point: comments sections linked to most major newsmedia websites, where folks appear to have little reserve about badgering and/or belit-tling those with differ-ing opinions. Where Internet trolls typically hide behind pseud-onyms and the knowl-edge they likely won’t be held accountable for their comments or have to face the recipient of their vitriol.

Things don’t seem to work that way when you engage people in the real world.

Should you choose to say something to someone, however, and their reply is along the lines of, “None of your bloody business,” or something more colour-ful, and they happen to be brandishing a large, blunt instrument in a threatening fashion, it’s probably better to keep moving. In the process, maybe consider saying something else, ideally to the authorities.

Saying something better than not

Sicamous Eagles netminder Kolby Pau-wels may be seeing a lot more ice time.

The Kamloops na-tive was a wall Sunday night, Nov. 10, when the Eagles played Doug Birks Division rivals the 100 Mile House Wranglers. While the two teams are separated by 19 points in the standings, the underdog Sicamous team managed to shake their seven-game los-ing streak and best their 100 Mile hosts with a 3-2 win. A big factor behind that win was Pauwels’ performance in net, stopping 26 out of 28 shots on net, and going on to be named the game’s first star.

When Pauwels’ wasn’t blocking shots, his teammates were busy bombarding the

Wranglers’ net, with 40 out of 43 shots being intercepted by goalie Adam Derochie.

Scoring began with a Wranglers’ power-play conversion in the first minute of the game. At 16:54, Eagles d-man Landon Fuller tied things up with a marker off Danny O’Donnell and Scott Robinson. In the last quarter of the frame, fellow d-man Arlyn Semeschuk pot-ted a goal off Brendan Sime-Vivian and Ty-ler Collens, giving the Eagles a 2-1 lead going into the second.

Robinson was the only player to find the back of a net in the second period with a goal off O’Donnell. The Eagles held on to the 3-1 lead right up to the last two seconds of the game, when the Wranglers were able to convert their man ad-vantage – the result of

an interference call on Astasiewicz – into one more goal before the final buzzer.

The exciting win followed some home ice frustration earlier in the week, including a 5-4 defeat to the Co-lumbia Valley Rockies and a serious 6-1 upset courtesy of the Golden Rockets.

In the latter game, played Saturday, Nov. 14, neither team was able to find the back of the net until 13:27 in the second frame, when the Rockets finally found a way past Ea-gles’ netminder Patrick Kasper. Minutes later, Landon Fuller, assisted by Ian Jarvis and Sime-Vivian, shot a rocket from the blue line that became his first goal of the season. The Eagles continued to play an energetic game, with

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-

1. Local Character and ProsperityIn an increasingly homogenized world, communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character have an economic advantage.

2. Community Well-BeingLocally owned businesses build strong communities by sustaining vibrant town centers, linking neighbors in a web of economic and social relationships, and contributing to local causes.

3. Local Decision-MakingLocal ownership ensures that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of those decisions.

4. Keeping Dollars in the Local EconomyCompared to chain stores, locally owned businesses recycle a much larger share of their revenue back into the local economy, enriching the whole community.

great defence and two power-play opportuni-ties. But the Rockets returned fire, and able to score two more goals before the period’s end.

A quarter of the way into the third, the Rockets’ Travis Kelley added his second goal of the night. In the last quarter of the frame, with the score still at 4-1, the Eagles pulled their goalie. This gave Kelley an opportunity to earn the hat trick. Golden’s final goal of the night was delivered on a power play at 1:19.

The Eagles Nov. 10 contest versus the Rockies was a solid, action-filled game throughout. Thirty-three seconds in, Nich-olas Cuglietta lit up the board for the Eagles with a power-play con-version off William Mizuik. Minutes later, Nathan Plessis kept Sicamous’ energy go-ing with an unassisted goal. The Rockies returned fire though, and managed to tie the

game up by 10:53 in the first period, keep-ing it that way until the buzzer. The Rockies’ Kolten Nelson potted two more in the sec-ond. But the Eagles kept the pressure up. At 5:38, Jayden Hay, as-sisted by Jarvis, potted his first goal with the Eagles. Minutes later, Astasiewicz was able to tie the game at 4-4, with assists by Bradley Whitehead and Seme-schuk. The tie was bro-ken seconds later with a late marker by the Rockies.

While busy on the ice, the team has also been giving its time to give back. Team mem-bers recently enjoyed reading and skating with Sicamous pre-school kids. Also, No-vember is Food Bank month, and the team is seeking the com-munity’s help in filling the shelves at the local food bank. Donations of non-perishable food items are being ac-cepted at home game throughout the month. On Sunday, Dec. 13, during a 2 p.m. game

versus Summerland, the Eagles will be hold-ing their annual Toque and Mitt toss, where attendees are asked to bring toques and mitts to toss on the ice dur-ing intermissions, to be collected for gifts

for locally-distributed Christmas hampers.

The Sicamous Ea-gles will soon have a calendar available for the gift-giving season, to be available for pur-chase at home games.

1. Local Economic Stimulus

When you purchase from locally-owned businesses more money is kept in the commu-nity because locally-owned businesses often purchase from other local businesses, and trades and service pro-viders. Purchasing local helps grow other busi-nesses as well as the lo-cal economy.

2. Local Businesses support your lifestyle

Local business own-ers donate more to lo-cal schools, charities and sporting clubs than non-local owners.

3. Most Jobs Are Provided By Local Businesses

Small local business-es are the largest em-ployers nationally.

4. Unique Businesses Create Character & Prosperity

The unique character of your local commu-nity is de� ned largely by local business and

that plays a big part in the overall satisfaction with where you live and the value of your home and property.

5. Customer Service Is Better

Local businesses of-ten hire people with more speci� c product expertise for better cus-tomer service.

6. You can sometimes try before you buy

Small business own-

ers are generally on-site and it’s easier to ask a local if you may sample or trial a product. Try asking chain store staff or an online merchant if you can sample the product before decid-ing to buy!

7. Local Business Owners Invest In Com-munity

Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community,

are less likely to leave, and are more commit-ted to the community’s welfare and future.

8. Public Bene� ts Far Outweigh Public Costs

Local businesses re-quire comparatively little infrastructure and more ef� ciently utilize public services.

9. You Matter MoreYour values and de-

sires are much more in� uential to you local

business than the large chain stores.

10. You might get a better deal or some good advice

Local businesses use their discretion to re-ward regular customers with discounts on items you actually want to buy. They can also tell you all about products you want to buy and personally recommend products.
