Is Revelstoke getting hosed at the pump? The Revelstoke region has amongst the highest prices in B.C. Here’s what you can do to help lower prices. Aaron Orlando
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
Compared to neighbouring communities, Revelstoke’s getting gouged at the pump, Mr. Editor, so why don’t you do something about it? High gas price complaints are one of the most common story suggestions I get. The complaint is often of a conspiracy or collusion designed to hose consumers. Locally, the idea is that because Revelstoke is geographically isolated, highway motorists are forced to fill up here before the jump over Rogers Pass – or in any other direction. Gas stations have all travellers over a barrel, but the ones that end up paying the most are Revelstoke locals. For example, we endured a months-long stretch of 129.9 cents a litre period before Christmas, and according to bcgasprices.com still live in the zone tied for the highest prices in B.C. This is despite the fact that Lower Mainland motorists pay an extra transit tax. Most gas price complaints I get focus on the prices of gas in general. I’ll admit I approach those suggestions with a bit of a closed mind; I strongly doubt even the most revved up, high-octane editorial piece will force multinational oil corporations to take any notice. But what about the local angle? As I’m writing this (Jan. 27) Revelstoke is paying 125.9 cents per litre, which is eight cents a litre more than Salmon Arm, and about 21 cents more than Kamloops. Why? So, I spent the lion’s share of my time over the past week talking with stakeholders and experts about the issue. While I don’t think this story in itself will make much of a difference, it does present a roadmap of how residents can come together to affect change in the price of gas locally. If you organize and take action, it’s possible to get prices down so they’re competitive with neighbouring communities. Maybe.
The economist cites competition Mariano Tappata is an assistant professor in Strategy and Business Economics at UBC’s Sauder School of Business. He’s authored a paper on pricing strategies and the retail gasoline market. When his friends speak with him about gas prices, conspiracy and collusion come up quickly, but the economist said the price in local markets is most often influenced by a set of market factors. Competition is a main one. A smaller market with fewer stations is less competitive. If one entity owns two stations, the market is even smaller than it seems (which means the new Petro-Canada planned for the

lot next to McDonald’s won’t really be an ‘extra’ station, since the 7-Eleven is also Petro-Canada). Another factor is the nature of the market. Big box retailers who operate a gas station on their lot often use the price of gas as a “loss leader” – meaning they break even or lose on the price of gas in order to attract customers. This brings the price of gas down in the entire market. Local regulations that affect market entry also count. If zoning regulations or other local rules prevent or impede new businesses from entering the retail gas market, then less competition will likely result. If local taxes are relatively high, the price will be passed on to consumers. Chevron, Petro-Canada and Esso pay between about $23,500 to $28,500 each for all local taxes, including their convenience stores. The
Revelstoke Shell pays $84,976, including the Tim Hortons restaurant. Tappata said the market conditions in a small town tend towards higher prices. “[The gas station owner is] going to try to charge the highest price possible. Let’s be honest; he wants to try to maximize his profits,” he said. “Because you’re a small town, you only have three or four gas stations, so it’s natural that prices would be up. … The reason why it doesn’t happen in some other markets is because the number of gas stations is large enough to generate competition, and competition is what prevents gas station owners from setting high prices.” He recommended the city make sure the cost of entry into the gasoline retail market is as low as possible if lower prices is the goal. Tappata also notes that regulators and
governments had studied the issue of gasoline prices for years, but rarely found a silver bullet. “In very rare cases, they found collusion, actual price gouging,” he said. Tappata also said a gas station leaving the market could drive prices up. The PetroCanada has been closed for a few years. The Super Save Gas stopped selling gas a few months ago. Super Save Gas owner Matt Singh said he couldn’t compete as an independent because he’s forced to pay market prices. Company stations have direct deals with refineries. “It’s a vicious game,” Singh said. He hopes to sell gas again in the future.

Complaints will prompt Competition Bureau inquiry explaining.” Lali encouraged Revelstokians to follow the actions of those in Merritt. “You target one or two gas stations and ask them to go somewhere else,” he said. Lali doesn’t believe picketing businesses is hurtful to the local economy. “It’s a red herring,” he said. “It’s going out of town right now. People were filling up elsewhere.” Lali said he didn’t think some kind of added provincial regulation is the answer. “I don’t know if price controls would work,” he said. “We do live in a free market economy.”
Gas prices, from page 1 I phoned up ‘Jen’ from Merrittonians Against Gas Price Fixing! and was surprised to learn she is a former Revelstokian I interviewed before for an unrelated story. Jen Heard relocated to Merritt and joined a group involved in boycott protests of gas prices in Merritt in late 2012. They argued prices there were much higher than in Kamloops. “Gas stations take advantage of highway motorists who think they need to fill up before heading over the Coquihalla,” reads the organization’s blog. The group organized and called the oil companies to complain. “We kept getting standard responses from all the companies,” Heard said. Unconvinced, they organized protests and invited their MP and MLA. They called in regional TV crews. “They told [us] to bring a whole bunch of angry friends,” she said of the November, 2012 protests that were broadcast on television. They picketed gas stations and encouraged motorists to keep trucking to Kamloops before they filled up. “The biggest price drop was right after the first protest,” Heard said. She believes the protest lowered the price of gas in Merritt. They did get some criticism. Some said the protests hurt local businesses. Heard disagrees. “Our intent was never to encourage people to shop out of town for anything other than fuel,” she said. As a post-grad student and mother of four, she watches every dollar, saying prices that were about 20 cents per litre cheaper in Kamloops incentivized shopping out of town. “People don’t really need an extra incentive to go shop in Kamloops,” she said. She believes keeping gas prices low in Merritt would keep more locals shopping in Merritt. “I don’t think we’ve hurt local businesses,” she said. “It’s impossible to keep people in town with a free ride over to Kamloops.” Heard said she’s an Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline opponent and is not an advocate of low gas prices in general; she understands the uses of gas taxation. However, she’s convinced oil companies are taking advantage of small markets like Merritt, which only hurts locals. The Merritt group is now looking for positive ways to influence the market. They’ve invited a gasoline co-op representative to give a presentation.
Gas prices incent local to shop out of town Anecdotally, gas prices are thwarting local efforts to keep retail commerce in Revelstoke. The Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce has its Ten Per Cent Shift, but Kamloops has a 20-cents-a-litre kickback. Revelstoke resident Rosemary Kelly is one of several who’ve requested the Times Review do something about local gas prices. “Why don’t you ever write about the gas prices in Revelstoke?” she asked in a Jan. 23 email. “I was thinking of going down the street with a sign,” she said in an interview. “It makes me so mad.” Kelly said the combination of lower gas prices in Kamloops and lower grocery prices make the trip worthwhile. “I just think it’s the owners,” Kelly said. “Why is it still so up high? I think it’s just greedy. They don’t need to give me an explanation on that one.”

Resident worries about seniors, medical travel cost Revelstoke resident Scott Gertzen is another who wrote to complain. The screenwriter spends a lot of time drinking coffee and writing screenplays at Tim Hortons in Revelstoke. He hears a lot of complaints from customers of the adjoined Shell station. “A lot of them are railroaders, truck drivers and hockey [families],” Gertzen said. They travel around and know the prices are cheaper elsewhere – they throw jerry cans in the pickup and buy gas elsewhere when they can. “Are they taking advantage of snowmobilers who come into town?” he asked. “The older people like my parents are stuck with it,” he said. “If I was in better shape I’d probably run a protest,” Gertzen said. Medical issues forced the railroader to retire early. Now he travels extensively for treatments and worries about others like him who have to pay for gas for medical treatment. Gertzen hopes raising awareness about the issue will lead to change. “You have to ask the question,” he said. “Or they’ll just keep it [up].”
Gas station owner not allowed to talk I phoned Andrew Peacock, owner of the Revelstoke Shell station. I caught up with him at his Shell station in Salmon Arm. I had filled up at his Shell station in Revelstoke that morning, where prices were eight
cents per litre higher. I wanted to ask why I paid $3.24 more for filling up here. “I’m not allowed to discuss fuel pricing, especially with the media,” he said, adding pricing was done by Shell. “It’s more of what they decide at their end.” He referred me to a hotline. “You’re going to get the company line,” he said. I called the hotline, but was referred to a website by a representative. I later called a Shell media line. The representative couldn’t answer specific questions, and advised me to write them down and send them in, which wasn’t possible by press time. The Shell website is similar to web pages hosted by most major oil companies. They cite all kinds of reasons why oil prices fluctuate. The arguments are understandable, but don’t really answer why the prices in one market are the way they are. FraserNicola MLA Harry Lali doesn’t believe the explanations anyway.
Politician encourages residents to organize, rise up Lali joined the protests in Merritt. “It just doesn’t make sense,” Lali said of gas company explanations about why prices are so high in one market compared to the next. “It was really not explained very well by anybody.” He said oil company explanations are “convoluted.” “They make you feel like you don’t understand as an individual,” he said. “Oil companies don’t seem to be very good at
Phil Norris is a spokesperson with the Competition Bureau, an independent federal law enforcement agency that “ensures that Canadian businesses and consumers prosper in a competitive and innovative marketplace.” Norris said an investigation originating with the Competition Bureau led to an ongoing prosecution and scandal in Quebec that led to charges against 39 individuals and 15 companies. So far, 30 people and seven companies have been found guilty and hit with fines over $3 million. To date, sentences have totalled 54 months in jail. Individual gas stations involved included Shell, Petro-Canada and Esso stations, including several other Eastern Canada brands. He noted ongoing hearings and prosecutions in Quebec and Ontario. “The fact that retailers charge similar prices, that in of itself doesn’t constitute and offence under the Competition Act. We obviously need evidence,” Norris said. “Any type of conspiracy by their nature are very difficult to check and prove. It’s not the easiest thing to uncover.” Norris noted ‘Section 9’ of the Competition Act, a complaint process whereby a group of six residents can come together and file a formal complaint. “They may apply to the Commissioner of Competition for an inquiry,” Norris said. “Upon receiving this application, the commissioner is required to commence and inquiry.” Norris said it doesn’t necessarily mean a formal investigation, just that the commissioner will look into it. “We will absolutely look into it,” he said. “We definitely, definitely encourage anyone who feels that there is anticompetitive behaviour in setting the price of retail gas or any industry to absolutely let us know, because that is one of the ways that our investigations start. It’s important that people do send their complaints to us.” If they turn up wrongdoing, they can refer their case to the Public Prosecution Service of Canada, a federal prosecution body. So, how did the Competition Bureau crack cases such as the major prosecution in Quebec? “A lot of evidence is wiretap evidence,” Norris said.
Will Revelstoke protest? Protests and formal complaints have led to investigations and reduced prices in other communities. Are Revelstokians motivated to make a change in their community?

Logging truck rollover The off-ramp to Victoria Road from the Trans-Canada Highway was blocked off for more than an hour after a logging truck rolled over and spilled its load Friday afternoon. An RCMP officer at the scene said the incident happened at around 2:30 p.m. The truck was coming around the bend when it flipped over, spilling its load to the side of the offramp, right where it joins up with Victoria Road. A log hauler truck was brought in to pick up the spilled logs and clean up the scene. Several RCMP were on hand to monitor traffic. Crews closed off Victoria Road from the highway to the entrance to the Shell gas station and McDonald restaurant while clean up took place. Drivers were able to get onto the highway via Bend Road. No one was injured in the crash. Alex Cooper/ Revelstoke Times Review
CSRD hopes to wash hands of flood responsibility Barb Brouwer Black Press
Columbia-Shuswap Regional District directors are resolute in their belief that flood management remains a provincial responsibility, just as it is with wildland interface fires. Directors at the Jan. 17 board meeting in Salmon Arm unanimously approved a resolution that will be sent to the Southern Interior Local Government Association for consideration at its convention in May. The issue arose from widespread flooding experienced in the Shuswap last spring. “In the aftermath of the flooding in Sicamous and Swansea Point, various provincial officials indicated that
the local authority is responsible for carrying out flood protection and mitigation works,” wrote chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton in his report to the board, pointing out this position is contrary to board policy W-5, which states the regional district will not respond to flooding events. “The issues relating to a local government providing flood management to Crown waterways are numerous and include the process for establishing the service, determining who would fund the service, the method of taxation and acquiring the necessary expertise to manage such flood incidents, to name a few.” Following discussion with staff from CSRD and the Regional Dis-
trict of North Okanagan and senior government officials, it was recommended that a joint resolution be sent to SILGA. Just as Victoria assumes incident command and provides on-site response for wildfires, the resolution notes overland flooding has “potentially profound adverse consequences in terms of public safety, private and public property interests, economic prosperity and public infrastructure.” Also noted is the fact the province is the steward of water resources in B.C. and local authorities lack the mandate, statutory jurisdiction, financial and technical resources, equipment and the staff necessary to provide emergency site response, miti-

She said the province needs to be pressured to make sure work is being done to monitor the issues.

No, it’s not a giant keg of ale, or a cask of the latest Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s a 7.5-metre long steel shaft that weighs 80 tonnes and will be used to connect the magnetized rotor to the fifth turbine at Mica Dam. The shaft was manufactured by Andritz Hydro in Ravensburg, Germany. Once installed, waterpower will spin the turbine and rotor at spees of 133 rpm, according to BC Hydro. The turbine shaft was transported to Revelstoke via CP Rail and will be taken up to Mica Dam by truck once road conditions are suitable.

Saddle Club gets 15-year lease approval from council Revelstoke Saddle Club fundraising for new riding arena to enable year-round riding, new programs for youth, disabled Aaron Orlando
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Selkirk Saddle Club has received approval from council for a 15-year lease of their property near the Illecillewaet River. The change from rolling 5-year leases of the Hydro land will help the club towards their current goal of building a covered riding area. Club secretary Tanya Secord says the club has raised over $50,000 so far and hopes grants from the funding agencies such as the CBT, Revelstoke Rotary, the Revelstoke Credit Union and other organizations will help them towards their goal of about $216,00. If all goes well, they could start building this year,
although Secord said it could take longer. “We’re just going to keep going until we can get it up,” explained Secord, who noted ongoing fundraising efforts like pony rides and manure sales. The club is also hoping to partner with a provincial job creation program. Secord explained that snow and slippery roads are a big issue for horse owners. It’s unsafe to ride horses on slick and icy roads. Secord said the proposed 60-foot by 120-foot riding area will allow for stable programs. For example, some club members are currently completing a certification that will allow them to provide therapuetic riding les-
sons for children and adults with mental or physical disabilities. Because riding in the winter (and most of the year) is weatherdependent, these lessons can’t be offered on a scheduled basis. “It gets so mucky you can’t even walk in it.” A riding area would allow that,” Secord said of the current riding area. Currently, a club member offers riding lessons for youth. A riding area would also allow for more consistent scheduling and safer conditions. The proposed riding area would be a semi-enclosed building. Secord said you don’t have to own a horse to be part of the club and its programs. Find info about the club at selkirksaddleclub.ca

In a cost-saving move, the Revelstoke School District moved all users out of the old Big Eddy Elementary and into other spare school facilities. The Revelstoke Boxing Club and Revelstoke Rocky Mountain Ranger Cadet Corps were moved into the Mount Begbie Elementary, while the Red Cross equip-
ment loan depot was given space at the Farwell school site. “The move to Mount Begbie allows us to have them in better facilities,” said associate superintendent Anne Cooper, who is handling the disposal of old facilities right now. She said the decision was made so the school district can save on heating and site maintenance costs. She said it was cheaper to heat and maintain MBE than the
old Big Eddy School. Only a portion of MBE has been made available – the gymnasium, library and computer lab. “It’s basically the portion we feel we can operate as cheaply as possible,” Cooper said. “We’re hoping to reduce the heat to an absolute minimum, reduce the load completely for snow removal, for all of the things you have to do when you have occupants.”

The Columbia Basin Trust Board of Directors held a public session at the Coast Hillcrest Hotel on Jan. 24. The session featured presentations from Revelstoke mayor David Raven and three representatives from town. Raven explained Revelstoke’s recent economic history. City of Revelstoke economic development director Alan Mason presented several community projects that had benefitted from CBT funding. All of them have been well covered in stories in the Times Review. In a new development, Mason thanked the CBT for $150,000 in funding for the proposed Adventure Tourism program in Revelstoke. The funding will go towards the purchasing equipment to offer the Thompson Rivers University-accredited program in Revelstoke. Cindy Pearce explained the city’s ongoing Integrated Community Sustainability Plan process. Readers will be familiar with the program through a series featured in the Times Review. Pearce said more meetings were upcoming, noting part of the challenge has been explaining that sustainability doesn’t just mean ‘green.’ Jackie Morris is the Revelstoke-based director of the Columbia Mountains Institute, a regional science organization designed to improve ecological management by sharing knowledge about the ecology of the Columbia Mountains.

Revelstoke Red Cross depot seeks volunteers Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Revelstoke Red Cross depot has been closed temporarily until four more volunteers are found to run the facility, its organizer says. Marie McKiernan, who manages the health equipment loan depot, said the facility closed after it was moved from its location at the old Big Eddy School to the Farwell School, and it will remain closed until more volunteers can be found. “I don’t want to shut it down. It will delay it, but I have to open in Revelstoke,” she told the Times Review. “It’s really essential we open there because it’s so far for people to go get equipment.” Due to the temporary closure, McKiernan said residents will have to travel abroad to receive equipment; the closest depot to Revelstoke is in Salmon Arm. In the meantime, the equipment has been brought back to Kelowna for cleaning. The depot supplies people with medical equipment ranging from crutches to walkers to wheelchairs to
bath aids and more free of charge for a period of three months. Anyone from a child to a senior can get equipment from the depot, provided they have a referral from Interior Health. “We provide that equipment to them on a short-term loan basis, which is usually three months, and by that time the health care providers want them up and moving so they’re not dependent on equipment,” said McKiernan. “Otherwise they have to rent it from a pharmacy and a lot of times they don’t have all the pieces in, plus it’s very expensive to rent or purchase that equipment.” Before it’s closure, the depot was open on an on-call basis. McKiernan wants to re-open with fixed hours, three days per week. She already has two volunteers and needs four more to re-open. “Now we have to get it operational as a depot that’s open on set hours and that’s what I’m trying to pull together here,” she said.

near Valemount.” Obert is the Vancouver-based architect behind the original design for the controversial Jumbo Glacier Resort, and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort in Golden, amongst several other East Kootenay resort projects. Keil wanted to find out Revelstoke’s experiences in the context of the proposed resort west of Valemount. An introduction to the project posted by the proponent on a B.C. government website promotes “snow guaranteed by glaciers, ele-
vation and climate,” the “longest vertical drop in the world,” and “a location that is not affected by insurmountable local conflicts.” It also touts the “only ski in/ski out airport in North America.” The proponent’s vision is for an international resort destination that will attract international clients year-round. The proposal sounds in many ways like Jumbo, just in a different location.

Part two of an ongoing column and story series exploring the Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild maternity penning plan. I was asked to provide a scientific background on the maternity pens. As I thought about the problem, it became clear that like any management challenge, it comes down to a mix of science and values – what people want. The maternity pen should only be pursued if people want it. So here’s some background to help inform people. Any time we discuss mountain caribou, it always comes down to the three related recovery options: 1) reducing food for moose and deer (in other words, protecting old forest habitat for caribou); 2) reducing alternate prey (moose and deer); 3) reducing predators. Focussing only on option one won’t solve the problem
A model of what the population trend would be without penning, and with 50 per cent of the females penned. Inputs to the model include age at first reproduction of 3, average litter size of 1, adult survival of 85 per cent, and population-level calf annual survival of 25 per cent (unpenned) to 42 per cent (if penned). Students could contact RCRW if they want to learn how to use math for this kind of work. Rob Serrouya image
because shrubs will be around for decades. Shrubs grow after trees are logged, which then grow moose and deer, which in turn grow wolves and cougars. Option two – reducing alternate prey – also on its own, is sketchy because predators might switch to caribou. Finally, Reducing predators (option three) without addressing options one and two means that predator control would have to go on indefinitely, which many people consider unethical and is not really accepted in B.C. The ‘mat’ pen is basically related to option three because it would reduce predation on calves.
Will mat penning work? Consider that calves in Alaska and Northern B.C. die most often during the first month of life, usually from predation. Penning worked well in the Yukon, but not so well for the Little Smokey herd in Alberta. In the Yukon, wild calves had a 15 per cent survival, whereas calves that were in the pen for about a month had 74 per cent survival (four months post-release). All 96 pregnant cows birthed healthy calves, suggesting that female body condition and stress were not problems. Obviously we’re trying to focus on the things that worked well in the Yukon and not repeat the mistakes from
Alberta. And here’s a bit more on the science part – see the graph of what we could expect from penning. Penning would help reduce the decline if half the females are penned, just before and after calving – then they are let go. What I conclude from this little math exercise is that penning alone won’t solve the problem. It’ll help, but a mix of all the options will be needed, at least in the short term. From a personal perspective, there are two things I like about this project. First, from the 10 years of land-use planning I’ve worked on, I haven’t

An open letter to the father who bruised his baby Re: Man gets two years in jail for beating baby, from the Jan. 16. 2013 issue of the Times Review: I was horrified when I read the details of what you did to your son. What were you thinking? It made me sick! Now you say you want to have a relationship with your son later in life. Well, sorry buddy, but your right to have anything to do with your son ended about the first time you bruised him, or put the weight of your adult body on him and fracturing his tiny little bones. Perhaps maybe you should have looked into his small scared little eyes the first time you almost squeezed the life out of him and fractured his tiny ribs. Myself, being a mother, who gave birth three times and raised all three without bruising them, I am going to give you some advice from your son. If he could speak to you right now, he would say to you: 1. Daddy, I did not ask to be brought into this world. 2. Daddy, I loved you from the very moment I was born. I did not know anything else. I was helpless. 3. Daddy, all asked for was to be fed, clothed, kept warm and comfortable, and comforted even when I was having a bad day. 4. You are my father. Daddy, you should
realize that this is a privilege, NOT a right. 5. Every day millions of people can raise their children without bruising them or breaking bones. 6. Daddy, by being in jail you are going to miss out on the most important milestones of my life. My first smile, my first attempt at rolling over, my first real food, my first “coo” (which is my way of telling you how much I love you), my first tooth, my first big-boy clothes, my first steps, my first hair cut. Because of your actions Daddy, I cannot show you these things. Daddy, I did nothing to put you in jail. Your own actions took you away from me and put you there. I have no regrets other than allowing you to act as my “loving” guardian for the few first months of my life. I tried to bring you joy, but I suppose I failed. I had no way of asking you what I was doing wrong but I paid the price of losing my father. It’s too bad Daddy, but I have been forced to live a life without you in it, but from my early recollections with you that can’t be a bad thing. Things are a lot smoother now, and I have learned from your mistakes. I will no longer require anything from you. Enjoy your life Daddy. It’s your own doing. Pat Dillman, Revelstoke

Snow safety poster contest winner
L e t t e rs
Erik Brosch of Begbie View Elementary had the winning grade 6/7 poster in the Canadian Avalanche Centre’s elementary school poster contest. The students were asked to create posters dealing with a snow safety topic such as skiing out of bounds, tree wells, wearing helmets, obeying signs, or snowmobiling. The winning posters are on display at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Visit www.revelstoketimesreview.com/community to see all the winners.
P.S. I personally had three major events happen in my life last year. I am thrilled to have become grandmother to two of the most adorable little boys on earth and then I lost my own father. But there were never any bruises involved.
MLA wants your view on new PST
Mla Report

One piece of legislation which must be introduced, and presumably passed, is the Provincial Sales Tax Act. This legislation will bring to a close the final chapters in the BC Liberal’s Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) debacle which began within weeks of their re-election in 2009. The BC Liberals promised that this legislation will be tabled in October 2012 but the government failed in that commitment. They have now, however, released a copy of the draft legislation ahead of the legislative sitting, and it is well worth studying, particularly if you own or operate a business.
If you would like a copy of the draft bill, please email my office at norm.macdonald. mla@leg.bc.ca or call 1-866870-4188. The BC Liberals promised that if they lost the HST referendum they would move back to the pre-existing Provincial Sales Tax. But a reading of the bill indicates that the new PST is actually quite different. It is up to you to decide whether or not the changes that have been made are consistent with the intent of the referendum result. When the BC Liberals first broke their election commitment in 2009 and imposed the HST on British Columbians it was constituents who
shared with me just how deeply your businesses and your budgets were affected by the HST. Heli-ski operators, hair dressers, real estate professionals, and restaurant owners all provided detailed and informed views, and with that information we were able to successfully campaign to overturn the BC Liberal imposition of the HST. In order to thoroughly debate the new PST legislation in the House it is important that I hear from you how this version of the PST will affect your specific business. I thank you in advance for taking the time to share any concerns.
reducing predation on calves without having to kill predators, or to reduce more moose, or even to protect more habitat. If it works, it’s a win-win. The second aspect is the chance to work with students to take them crashing in the bush

impact on CBT-and through CBT, on the Columbia Basincannot be overemphasized.” Merkel helped form the CBT and was vice-chair from 1995–2006 and chair from 2006 to 2012. Deck is from Radium Hot Springs. He was in fact the founding mayor of Radium

Spirit Fest brings 11 diverse days of events to town ALEX COOPER
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
When funding from the Vancouver Olympics’ Spirit Foundation funding dried up, there was some question as to whether or not Revelstoke’s successful Spirit Fest would continue. So the committee that worked on the event the past two years got together to decide whether or not they should continue. “Everybody on the committee was keen because it was a great week with so much happening,” said Emma Kirkland. “The committee has done a lot of volunteer hours and we’ve come up with a great schedule of events, I think.” They got some funding from the Revelstoke Accommodation Association, and possibly the City of Revelstoke, and put together 12 days of events that start this Thursday, Jan. 31, and runs until Family Day on Monday, Feb. 11. As usual, the festival is an amalgamation of regular events in town, and a number of special ones put on specifically for the festival. Things kick off on Thursday with jam night at Benoit’s Wine Bar, Totally Board Movie night at the Cabin, and speed dating at the Last Drop with the candidates for Revelstoke’s Top Chick and Top Bloke. The Top Chick contest has been added to
the Top Bloke contest that has run the last two years. On Thursday, you can go on a speed date with the contestants. On Friday, Feb. 1, the Top Chick finalists strut their stuff at the Last Drop. The Top Bloke finalists go on display on Feb. 8. For families, there’s a whole bunch of events. There’s parent-tot skate at the arena on both Fridays, a family swim on Feb. 11. On Saturday, Feb. 2, the indingenous dance and theatre company Red Sky presents The Great Mountain, an eco-adventure story play for parents and children at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre. The Carousel of Nations returns this year on Feb. 2, once again celebrating Revelstoke’s diversity with ethnic song, dance, food, children’s stories and crafts. The Vancouver-band Locarno will be the feature performer. That night there’s disco-funk ice skating at the arena with DJ Michael Fraser, and Locarno will take the stage at the Last Drop. On Sunday, Revelstoke Mountain Resort hosts the Tournament of Chumps, a retro ski and snowboard day fundraiser with a series of events inspired by First Tracks: The History of Skiing in Revelstoke. The day will feature a series of fun competitions, including dualGS races, an old-school trick contest, tube- Scenes from last year’s Spirit Fest, clockwise from above: The Outhouse Races return to park races and more.

For a time in his life, Tom Landa shunned his Mexican roots. The frontman of the band Locarno grew up in Mexico City, but after moving to Canada as a teenager, he put his Mexican upbringing behind him, trying not to speak Spanish and ignoring Mexican culture. “As I got older and got in touch with my Mexican roots, listening to that kind of music it became more important to me,” he told me. Locarno, Landa’s band, is a mixture of a variety of music, from Cuban Son to folk, to pop and funk. Most notably, it incorporates Son Jarocho – a traditional music created in the state of Veracruz that blends elements of African, Arabic and indigenous Mexican music. Landa was turned onto the music by the band Los Lobos, who incorporated elements of it on their album La Pistola y El Corazon. Locarno was started by Landa a few years ago as a studio project. He was fronting the multi-cultural folk band The Paperboys when he decided to start a new project where he would sing in his native Spanish. “There’s a connection there for to Mexico and Latin Music and music sung in Spanish,” he said. Land went into the studio with
producer Joby Baker and some other musicians and created the album Una Mas Y Nos Vamos. From that, he recruited some more musicians and started playing live. He said it was important for him to do a more traditional Mexican album. “In addition to me just liking the music there’s a connection straight to my – at the risk of sounding cheesy – right to my soul and my spirit,” he said. “There’s a connection there too that’s directly linked to my heart.” One area where Locarno differs from Landa’s other band, the Paperboys, is the use of Spanish singing. Landa said singing in Spanish was a big part of starting Locarno. “I think people sound different in their native tongue. I’ve been told that many times,” he said. “People said I sounded really different when I sing in Spanish. I’ve found the same thing. I’ve met people while traveling the world. A lot of people feel the need to sing in English but when they do it in their own language it’s so much better and so much more natural and so much more interesting.” Locarno consists of a collection of talented Vancouver musicians of various backgrounds. Pedro Mota, who is also from Mexico City, plays guitar and provides back-up vocals. Kalissa Hernandez, a Chliean-Canadian, plays fiddle, incorporating both Celtic and

When Grant Statham was hired in Parks Canada in the Fall of 2003, he had a monstrous task in front of him. In front of him was a 90-page report complete with 36 recommendations produced for Parks Canada by an independent review panel that looked into the Connaught Creek avalanche on Feb. 1, 2003. “I got hired to figure out what to do with those recommendations for Parks Canada and implement them,” he said. “There were 36 of them so I took them and turned them into projects.” The report, titled Parks Canada’s Backcountry Avalanche Review, was written by Dennis O’Gorman, a former B.C. government official; Phil Hein, a fully certified mountain guide and avalanche professional; and William Leiss, a risk management expert from the University of Calgary. The report dealt largely with risk – how it was managed, how it was perceived and how it was communicated to the public. It also looked at how Parks responded to emergencies and how trips were lead. “The biggest thing I got out of that report, and its most important impact, was the idea of communication,” said Statham. “I’ve taken avalanche courses and taught avalanche courses and we never really talked much about communication. A little bit, but it wasn’t a central theme. I would say today it’s a central theme, particularly around public avalanche forecasting.”
Statham was a veteran mountain guide, who had done avalanche consulting, taught courses and led expeditions. He was used to working mostly independently; now he was working as part of the Parks Canada bureaucracy. The first project Statham and his staff undertook was the creation of the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES). The system was drawn from the mechanized skiing industry, where guides would look at what runs could and couldn’t be skied every day. Statham said they were looking at a rating system that would help the public understand terrain, and also provide a way to manage socalled custodial groups – groups of children led by someone who wasn’t their parent. Eric Dafoe, the public safety manager for Glacier National Park, was part of a regional public safety committee that was looking at the reforms. The group had discussed how they would describe avalanche terrain to the public but they hadn’t come up with the definitions. “I was driving to work one day and looked at the Flat Creek and Bostock drainages when something clicked,” he said. What he saw was a wooded drainage with several clearly defined avalanche paths; that would be one type of terrain. He compared it to the Asulkan drainage, with its multitude of avalanche paths with overlapping runout zones and difficult to identify start-zones; that would be another type or terrain. Dafoe brought the idea to one of his avalanche technicians, who
refined the descriptions. Those were passed on to Statham, who had been working on something similar. “Grant did some final tweaking and presented it to the industry,” said Dafoe. The system had three ratings for avalanche terrain: Simple was basic terrain with no avalanche exposure. Challenging was terrain with well defined avalanche paths. Complex was terrain through complicated avalanche slopes with multiple start zones and overlapping runouts. “It worked for custodial groups, it works for public warnings. It’s an excellent complement to an avalanche bulletin. In my mind one of the most important things we were able to is create the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale.” *** The second project Statham undertook was a new, graphic based avalanche bulletin. The previous bulletin was text heavy and had lots of very good information, but it was difficult to understand by the average backcountry user. “Back in those days, if you were someone who really liked to read an extensive text product with lots of detail in it, it was great, it was an awesome product,” said Statham. “We needed to evolve the way we communicated that information. If I have your attention for 30 seconds, what’s the most important thing I can tell you about the avalanche conditions today?” What was developed was a graphic-based warning system, with simple icons indicat-
ing the avalanche danger rating that day. The first iteration contained four graphics: green for good, yellow with an exclamation mark for serious, yellow one with a question mark for variable, and red for poor. Each icon was accompanied by travel advice for amateur recreationalists. They were picked up and modified by the Swiss avalanche centre and those modifications were adopted in Canada. “We’ve continued down the road of trying to reduce the text and breaking it down into manageable pieces and make it so people can communicate and pick it up easily,” said Statham. The process culminated, for now, at the start of the 201112 winter with the introduction of a new avalanche bulletin that was developed by Parks Canada and shared with other organizations across Canada, including the Canadian Avalanche Centre. The new bulletin features even more graphics indicating where concerns in the snowpack such as wind slabs or persistent slabs exist. More detailed information on the snowpack is included lower down on the page. Statham said the idea is to have a tiered system. At the most basic level, someone would get the most basic information of the avalanche rating for that day. At the second level is the more detailed information on the snowpack. The third level is for advanced users – data like snow profiles and weather information. “That restructuring of the warning system was a big outcome of our project,” said Statham. *** The third major project involved regulating custodial groups, which were defined as a group with minors that weren’t

being escorted by their parents. Prior to 2003, there were no rules on where custodial groups could or could not go in the national parks. The Connaught Creek avalanche, where seven Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School students died, caused many to ask what they were doing in terrain with such high avalanche danger. “Parks definitely sat up and took a look at how they managed those groups,” said Ross Cloutier, the owner of Bhudak Consultants, who was hired by Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School to review their outdoor education program. “Historically they’ve had all the custodial groups that were in the mountains doing the same trips in the same terrain as the professionals were, and obviously they weren’t professionally guided,” he said. “Their skill set was quite different but you had these custodial groups in the same terrain doing the same things.” Cloutier’s report took an extensive look at STS’ outdoor education program, which was a key component of the elite private school. Perhaps the most significant aspect of the report was its look at risk. Notably it pointed out that the program’s administrators were willing to tolerate a certain level risk when running trips, but parents weren’t properly involved in the decision making. “Should a school have the authority (or responsibility?) to decide the levels of risk tolerance for students?” Cloutier asked in his report. “If yes, then it must carry out its high duty to clearly communicate to parents what the activities are and what levels of risk can normally be expected in each activity; the decision then rests with the parents to decide whether their
child will participate.” The school responded by not allowing any more trips into the Connaught Creek drainage. Parks Canada responded by using the new terrain rating system as a guide for what custodial groups could and could not do. They could enter simple terrain at will. To enter terrain rated as challenging, they would need to be accompanied by a ski guide. They could not go into complex terrain. “That was maybe one of the most controversial things we worked on back then,” said Statham. “At the time the outdoor education sector was very nervous they would be shut out of the backcountry, that we would implement some kind of framework that would make it impossible to bring kids out.” Once the terrain was classified, school groups realized there was still lots of terrain they could access under the new rules, said Statham. “It’s been eight years since that was implemented and it seems like it works,” he said. “We have pretty good feedback. We don’t get complaints about groups not being able to get where they want to go. For the most part it’s been pretty successful.” *** According to Statham, there was some controversy around each major project. As mentioned, schools wondered how the new rules on custodial groups would impact them. Some of his peers wondered how he would go about creating the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale. Others were worried about the changes to the avalanche bulletin. “There was lots of opposition to the idea of dumbing down the product,” said Statham. “Every time we create warning products that aren’t
technical or somehow are perceived to reduce the technical nature of something, we get accused of dumbing it down.” Still, he added, people have come around to accept the changes to the point where they seem normal. Now, he thinks the focus should be on teaching people how to manage terrain. “It feels like we’ve reached the point of diminishing returns with respect to warning about snow,” he said. “We can tell people as much as we want and do the best we can about the daily conditions in the snow pack and how it’s changing, but if people don’t know how to actually ski tour and how to pick terrain and choose a route on the right kind of day. That’s where I’d like to see a lot of emphasis in the future, is on terrain and risk.” *** All this was going with a new partner organization – the Canadian Avalanche Centre, which was founded in the fall of 2004 as part of the response to the 2003 avalanches. The Times Review will look at that development next week

BERNIER, MCNAB COMPETE IN SECOND WORLD CUP RACE Revelstoke’s Melanie Bernier and Andrew McNab were back in their spandex race suits last weekend, this time competing at the Alpiniski ski mountaineering race in Switzerland. Bernier, who said on Facebook she was battling an illness, finished 10th in the sprint and 14th in the individual race at the races in Les Marecottes, Switzerland. Laetita Roux of France won both races. On the men’s side, McNab improved on his performance in the first race, moving out of the bottom of the standings into 28th (out of 48 racers) in the sprint and 43rd (out of 65 racers) in the individual race. The sprint was a short 50-metre climb, followed by a 50-metre descent and short skate-ski. The individual race is a longer course with multiple long ascents and descents. The next race is the World Championships at Pelvoux, Puy Saint Vincent and Vallousie, in France. The championships run from Feb. 9-15.
RUSTY DERAILERS LOSE WEEKEND DERBY BOUT By Stephanie Ells, Revelstoke Roller Derby The Revelstoke Derailers were back in action Saturday night, taking to the floor against the Candy Strykers at the Hassen Arena in Armstrong, B.C. The Revelstoke Derailers were apprehensive coming into the game. Their last on-skates practice was in early August and most of the team had not been on their skates since then. Despite their best efforts, the team’s only option
Gabe Laidlaw from the Revelstoke Squash Club receives his trophy after finishing second in the boys under-15 B division at the BC Junior Open Squash Championships at the Jericho Club in Vancouver last weekend. Laidlaw, Tettey Tetteh, Julia Dorrius and Sophie Dorrius took part in the competition. This was a big step up in competition for the kids, said club manager Kevin Dorrius. Contributed
for on-skates practice is the Hassen Arena in Armstrong. Unfortunately, this would mean taking funds raised locally and spending them out of town. To get their heads back in the game the team held a series of rules and strategy meetings. On game day the girls were very excited to be back together as a team. The Candy Strykers are Okanagan-Shuswap Roller Derby’s house team and a very good match for the Derailers. Many of the Strykers were familiar faces from informal scrimmages and roller derby boot camps. The game started with strong strategy and hard hits from both teams. The Derailers played like they had never stopped practicing and really came together as a team. The score stayed close and the audience was on the edge of their seats. The hits kept coming, the blocking was tight and the jammers we’re racing around the track. The final score was 221-208 for the Candy Strykers. In derby terms, this was a very close game. We definitely exceeded everyones expectations. The Derailers can’t wait to face off against the Candy Strykers again soon.

Grizzlies return with one win from three-game road trip Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
With three games in the West Kootenays last weekend – one against the worst team in the league and two against the two best teams – it isn’t hugely surprising the Revelstoke Grizzlies came home with only one win. What is surprising is how they went about doing it – losing to the lowly Grand Forks Border Bruins on Friday and beating the leagueleading Nelson Leafs on Sunday, with a loss to the Castlegar Rebels in between. “I’d say overall it was disappointing but I think it was a good little last lesson here of mostly what we need to do to be successful in the long run,” said head coach Kevin Kraus after returning home. The Grizzlies ventured down to Grand Forks on Friday. Kraus said many players were battling a flu bug and it showed. After a good start, sparked by two first period goals by Austin Donaldson, the team fell flat, with the Border Bruins responding with five goals in the second period. Dylan Ossman scored twice for Revelstoke in the first half of the third period to get Revelstoke within one, but two goals by Grand Forks sent the Griz-
zlies back to the bus with a 7-4 loss. “We underestimated them after the first period and came out really flat and they took advantage.” said Kraus. “You can’t just flip a switch and expect to turn it on. It was off and they played like that.” On Saturday, the Grizzlies rolled into Castlegar where they were steamrolled by the Rebels. Castlegar jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first, with a 19-5 advantage in shots. Brayden Beckley scored for Revelstoke four minutes into the second to make it 3-1, but Stuart Walton responded for Castlegar to make it 4-1. The teams traded goals in the third, with Donaldson scoring for Revelstoke, for a 5-2 final. Castlegar outshot Revelstoke 44-18. “We took some dumb penalties in the first period and were down 3-0 right off the bat,” said Kraus. “We tried to dig ourselves out but unfortunately we don’t have a the firepower to come back against a team like Castlegar.” On Sunday, the road trip continued in Nelson. This time, Revelstoke jumped out to the early 3-0 lead, with two goals from Jordan Holloway and another from Ossman in the first period. Unlike the Grand Forks game, this time Revelstoke was able to hold on. Brayden Beckley added a power play goal
Aaron Brandoli makes one of his 30 saves in the Revelstoke Grizzlies 4-0 shutout victory over the league-leading Nelson Leafs on Sunday. Bob Hall/Black Press
with 5:25 left in the third and Aaron Brandoli made 30 saves for the shutout. “From puck drop to the buzzer it was a very good 60-minute game. We played very good defense and that’s what I’ve been stressing as late,” said Kraus. “After the game you could see it in their eyes they were proud of the way they played defensively.” He said the win was a good little ego-boost for the team, especially coming off the loss to Grand
Forks, which he said there was “no excuses” for. “I’m happy with the way we did. I feel we’re getting rid of our inconsistencies, so that’s a positive note,” he said. The Grizzlies are now in the stretch drive, with nine games left in the season. The team is in third pace in the Doug Birks division, eight points back of the Sicamous Eagles and 10 ahead of the Kamloops Storm. Kraus said he still has hopes of catching Sicamous for
second place, and home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs. “It’s a mini goal, whether it’s obtainable of not, just keep them pushing for that so they’re always chasing something,” he said. Revelstoke plays another three games this weekend, hosting Grand Forks on Friday before hitting the road for games against Chase and Sicamous on Saturday and Sunday respectively.
