RMR summer development shifts to Greeley side of Mount Mackenzie

Northland Properties and Internet millionaire Bob Young partners in Revelstoke Adventure Park, which plans to develop summer amenities in Greeley, outside of Revelstoke city limits Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Northland Properties, the owner of Revelstoke Mountain Resort, is a business partner in the Revelstoke Adventure Park, a proposed summer tourist outdoor adventure centre that wants to offer amenities like liftaccessed mountain biking, climbing, bungee jumping, camping and other amenities in the Greeley area on the north side of Mount Mackenzie. The partnership between Northland Properties and Revelstoke Adventure Park (RAP) was not featured in a media release about the proposed summer tourist attraction when it was publicly announced in late January. Northland’s involvement in the summer tourist park on the north side of Mount Mackenzie is causing concern in Revelstoke city hall that the owners of Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR) are shifting summer tourist development away from the base area of RMR on the south side of Mount Mackenzie, which is within city limits, to an area in the Columbia–Shuswap Regional District outside of city limits. City planning director John Guenther said the shift away from the RMR base was a “big concern. It affects the [controlled] recreational area (CRA).” Locating summer activities outside of the city would have many implications for the city, including a loss of potential tax base if business moves outside city limits. “I think one of the biggest challenges we would have is jurisdictional control,” Guenther told the Times Review in a April 25 interview. “These kinds of things you don’t want to have on the edge of your boundary without land use control.” In response to the proposed Rev-

elstoke Adventure Park proposal, in late March city council agreed to send a letter to referral agency Front Counter BC. The letter asked for extensive background studies, public engagement, environmental review, traffic review, a look into impacts on city services such as fire and police, and infrastructure studies. The letter also expressed a need for a look at jurisdictional control, including the possibility of boundary expansion. “There’s always risks involved in boundary expansion,” Guenther said, noting it has benefits and liabilities. “Does the city want enough control over that area because the impacts on the city is going to be extensive enough that the city needs to have land use controls in the area? That’s the question.” Mayor David Raven said the city has explored the possibility of extending the boundary into the Greeley watershed in the past, but it has its downsides. “The expansion of city boundaries out there would include an awful lot of obligations. It’s not necessarily a money maker for the city.” Raven said boundary expansion to include Revelstoke Adventure Park wasn’t likely: “It’s not on the table at this time.” Revelstoke resident Jason Roe is the spokesperson for the Revelstoke Adventure Park proposal. Roe, who is originally from Ontario, invested in several properties and businesses in the Revelstoke area along with his brother Brydon. In 2007, they started purchasing investment properties, perhaps most notably the Powder Springs Inn. Jason explained himself and his brother wanted to fulfill a lifelong dream to live in the mountains. Jason Roe will manage the Revelstoke Adventure Park property through his company Black Tie Properties. However, Illecillewaet

Development Inc. owns the property. The directors of Illecillewaet Development are Hamilton, Ontario businessman Bob Young and Tom Gaglardi, president of Northland Development Corporation. Jason Roe explained the company’s structure is a product of history. In its heyday before the recession starting in 2008, RMR was slated to be a massive development, and the Roe brothers hoped to develop a second base on the north side of the mountain, so they purchased land there. “The reality is the economy bombed,” Roe said. A future ski expansion is “30 years out” at this point, he said. Now, they’re proceeding with a scaled-back development focusing on summer tourism. Bob Young is Black Tie Properties’ financial backer in the RAP project. According to his Wikipedia page, Young is a “serial entrepreneur” who made it big in the computer business, developing and serving as CEO of Red Hat Inc., an open-source software company. He’s since been involved in other Internet companies, and is also the current owner of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Canadian Football League franchise. Jason Roe explained he was in business with Young in Ontario, serving as a contractor for him in the real estate business. Roe said the partnership with RMR was essential – the RAP proposal plans to extensively use lands within RMR’s ‘controlled recreation area.’ “They are 100 per cent behind this,” Roe said. “They see this as a start to their summer expansion; their four seasons. It is purely beneficial to the resort.” At an April 9 presentation to Revelstoke city council, Roe addressed questions from Mayor David Raven,

Developer pulls out of Revelstoke Crossing Cites ‘regulatory and political climate’ as reason Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The developer of a major multi-million dollar hotel and restaurant development on the Trans-Canada Highway in Revelstoke has announced it is pulling out of the project, citing frustration with city hall. The Revelstoke Crossing development at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 23 North has been winding through the development process for nine years, said the proponents. The property is closely associated with developer Steve Platt, a Dallas, Texas-based property developer whose company Creststone Development has created several business and retail park developments in that state. Platt came to the Revelstoke area before the Revelstoke Mountain Resort boom and purchased several development properties here. Platt is known for his large residential mansion located on Airport Way south of Revelstoke. He developed the heritage award-winning building at 200 Second St. East – the brick building across the empty lot from city hall. Late last week, Platt told Mayor David Raven that his local company, Big Bend Development Corporation, was giving up plans to further develop Revelstoke Crossing and was putting the property up for sale. In a telephone interview from Texas with the Times Review, Platt declined to comment on his company’s reasons for pulling out, referring questions to business partner Terry Lowrey. Lowrey issued a brief statement expressing displeasure with city

Four parties make their case at all-candidates forum Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

About 120 people came out to the community centre on Monday for an all-candidates forum where four competing candidates provided their vision for the province. Norm Macdonald, the two-term incumbent MLA, showed a confidence reflected in the fact that he and the NDP are expect to win the election, while his biggest opponent, Liberal Doug Clovechok, defended his party’s governing record calling them the “new BC Liberals” who are different from the group that introduced the HST in attempt to rally support. Meanwhile, Earl Olsen of the Conservatives and Laurel Ralston of the Green Party looked to portray themselves as capable alternatives to the two major parties. “You have a standard from 2009 on that is simply not acceptable and I think most of us understand it’s a government that’s on its way out,” Macdonald said in his opening remarks, where he accused the Liberals of fudging the books and running an $800 million deficit. “What I want to do here with you is to be very clear on exactly what I will do presuming there is an NDP government. I want to be very clear on the specifics. What we’re going to do and how we’re going to pay for it.” Clovechok countered, accusing the NDP of not releasing a platform and not saying how they would pay for their plans, all the while touting the successes of the Liberal government under Premier Christy Clark. “We’re in a place right now where there’s such a bright future ahead of us,” Clovechok said. “Although you may hear my opponent paint the BC Liberals as some demonic type of identity, we’ve done some amazing things and I hope to outline those amazing things for you tonight, and how much Revelstoke, even though you didn’t have an MLA in government, has benefitted.” Olsen, meanwhile, touted his

party’s platform of low taxes and balanced budgets that would lead to a strong economy. “They all want to raise taxes,” he said. “I don’t believe we want to raise taxes. I certainly don’t believe we want to pay more taxes and I don’t believe we want our kids to pay more taxes.” Ralston, the last candidate to enter the race, related the Green Party’s platform, and its focus on participatory government and sustainability. “We need to look at the systemic problems, we need to find efficiencies in the whole system and figure out how to do all of what we’re doing really efficiently,” she said. “It’s a principle of minimizing waste not only at the environmental level but also at the operational level.” The forum had an open format, where the public was free to ask questions from the floor. Questions covered topics from taxation, to health care, to the Trans-Canada Highway. Macdonald, who has been the MLA for Columbia River-Revelstoke since 2005, demonstrated his experience sparring in the legislature, both attacking the Liberal record and at promoting his own party’s proposals. He refrained

from making any big promises or guarantees that weren’t already laid out by his party. “In terms of guarantees I think you always want to be careful around what you guarantee,” he said, responding to a question about bringing back chemotherapy treatments to Revelstoke, adding: “The commitment to health care, the commitment to rural health care is something that the NDP has always been there and has always been more trustworthy on this issue.” Clovechok, meanwhile, cited his ability to help out community groups, even though he wasn’t the MLA. He touted the BC Jobs Plan several times and said the NDP was all about taxing people. “One of things that struck as I was sitting there is this is a train back to the future,” he said, after Macdonald laid out the NDP’s revenue plan. “I heard taxes, I heard taxes, I heard taxes.” He touted the Liberals’ commitment to spend more than $600 million on improving the Trans-Canada Highway and his party’s plan to develop liquefied natural gas, saying it would bring in $1 trillion in revenue over the next 20 years and provide and rival the oil sands in Alberta in importance. “We’re going to pay the debt

down so our kids and grandkids can be debt free in 15 years,” he said. “Natural gas is incredibly volatile,” responded Macdonald, referring to the market for it. “For someone to talk about trillions of dollars coming in 20 years when you can’t get a projection right over three months doesn’t present an honest picture.” Olsen struck a populist tone, promising lower taxes while also promising improved rural health care, twinning the Trans-Canada Highway, and encouraging responsible resource development – both in terms of forestry and natural gas. “I truly believe if we don’t use the resources we have we have no way to grow our economy,” he said. “We need to get those resources moving and we need to use them.” In a surprising note, Ralston said her party likely wouldn’t favour twinning the Trans-Canada but instead would look at getting cars off the road and encourage rail travel. She also said the party sees natural gas as a volatile resource and that the government should focus on ways to reduce its use. “Where we see there are opportunities is for research and investing in technologies and ways to reduce mining impacts,” she said. “Really trying to do it with an abso-

lute minimal impact and reduce our independence on it so we don’t need it as much.” On forestry, every candidate struck a similar tone on the need to grow the industry and take care of the lands. Macdonald accused the Liberals of cutting the forest service and said the NDP would restore funding and renew investments in land management. “We have to look after the land and we simply haven’t done that as well as we can. And the government is uniquely responsible for that,” he said. Clovechok responded, citing the re-opening of mills in Canal Flats and Radium, and the success of Downie Timber, as signs of strengths in the industry. “The forestry industry is healthy, it’s growing,” he said. “We as the BC Liberal party have a plan for it.” Ralston got a chance to showcase one her party’s main planks when the candidates were asked about the cost burdens being placed on local government. She said the Green Party had a vision of government that was more decentralized, with strong municipal and regional governments. “We feel that is our job to support them and make sure they are able to do their jobs,” she said.

The death of a Revelstoke doctor has been ruled a suicide by the BC Coroners Service. Roger James Morrison was found dead in his home last November. At the time, police

HMC

Services Inc.

QUALITY ASSURANCE SUPERVISOR HMC Services Inc., a British Columbia Road and Bridge Maintenance Contractor is presenting an opportunity for an enthusiastic individual to become involved in the Road and Bridge Maintenance Industry in British Columbia, as a Quality Assurance Supervisor (QAS) in the Revelstoke area. Under the direction of the Operations Manager, the QAS is a critical and dynamic role responsible for ensuring adherence to the quality management system while offering ongoing operational support to ensure operational, safety and quality objectives are achieved. This is a terrific opportunity to build a long-term career in a stable industry while enjoying the quality of life offered in Revelstoke.

said the death was a suicide, however his brother John questioned the findings and the fact no autopsy was conducted. His skepticism resulted in a CBC report suggesting someone may have gotten away with murder. The coroners report, which

was released on Monday, Apr. 29, said the death was caused by loss of blood due to selfinflicted wounds. The report described a bloody scene, where adrenaline and insulin pills were found, as well as numerous over-the-counter and prescription medications.

The report says a letter written in Roger Morrison’s handwriting was found “indicating clear despondency and selfharm intention.” The Times Review was unable to reach John Morrison before press time.

RMR focusing on winter activities on base side RAP, from page 1 who wanted to know more about the partnership. He noted the city had difficulties as the ownership of RMR changed after the 2008 recession. Who would the city be dealing with? “Me,” Roe told council. Although Bob Young and Tom Gaglardi are partners in Illecillewaet Development Inc., the business terms of that partnership aren’t public. Graham Rennie is the Vice President–Human Resources, for Northland Properties, and is often the public face of the company in dealings at the Revelstoke level. He said from RMR’s perspective, the partnership to develop the Revelstoke Adventure Park takes advantage of two key benefits. The first is “capital,” Rennie said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do on the ski side. I think there’s an appetite for summer activities and we want to take advantage of that opportunity. It’s advancing the cause in the most

cost-effective and visible way that we can.” The second is the location. Greeley is adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway, which is swollen with tourist traffic in the summer. “It makes the most sense to put them in the highest visibility, highest proximity location. When we look at mountain biking, we think that the highway traffic is a huge advantage to that kind of venture being on that side of the mountain,” Rennie told the Times Review. “It also meets and helps satisfy the year-round activities and getting the resort lands better utilized and more effectively utilized.” Rennie said that didn’t mean that RMR wasn’t giving up on plans for mountain biking or other summer activities on the base side, just that they were on the back-burner while RMR continues to develop their winter business. He gave examples of several winter projects, such as trail improvements, being done this summer. Rennie also said there was no immediate plan to move forward

with the golf course. “I think the focus right now for RMR and its resources is to make the [winter] slope-side a much better mountain,” he said. Revelstoke Mountain Resort, like other ski resorts in B.C., is overseen by the Mountain Resorts Branch, an office within the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. They are also bound by agreements with the ministry, the city and other partners. A senior manager in the branch said they couldn’t comment on the RAP application because it is in the referral stage. Harry Mitchell is the Authorizations Manager for the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “This is new territory,” Mitchell said in an interview. His department hadn’t seen a similar overlapping application before, and said his ministry still had research to do. Mitchell declined to put a time-frame on the ministry’s decision about the application.

City tables chickens, bees and livestock policy Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The City of Revelstoke’s new livestock policy made its public debut at an April 25 planning committee meeting, starting a public consultation process that will likely happen in the next several weeks. The proposed policy outlines where chickens, bees and other livestock will be allowed in Revelstoke, and what rules those who keep the animals must follow.

Chickens

Chickens will be permitted in most zones in Revelstoke, except for the downtown core and some denser neighbourhoods. Some basics apply. Female birds only. A coop must be supplied for the birds. Bear aware mitigation measures must be taken, although the draft policy doesn’t say what that means. Although chickens are proposed to be allowed on most properties, a rule dictating they not be allowed within five metres of a property line effectively eliminates many residences. North Columbia Environmental Society (NCES) president Sarah Newton is happy the city is moving forward with formally allowing backyard chickens, noting local food production is a high priority in terms of climate change adaption and mitigation. “We’re pleased that they’re taking it seriously,” she said. However, Newton said the NCES had extensive consultations with the city and stakeholders such as Revelstoke Bear Aware, including providing the planning department with comprehensive documentation and examples from other communities like Vernon and Vancouver. She said she is “disappointed” the current policy lacks these details, something she’d like to see included. “I would like [the livestock policy] to go to the environmental advisory committee,” Newton said. It was her understanding the policy was still up for other internal stakeholder review, and was surprised to hear it was heading for public review already. Newton said the NCES would likely take issue with the five-metre rule because it effectively shuts out many homes on smaller lots.

Bees

The policy restricts beekeeping to larger rural properties outside of the downtown core, and to virtually all of Arrow Heights. Beekeeping is permitted on only a few larger properties in the Big Eddy, Columbia Park and Southside. Rules dictate how

the hive must be kept and also provide for ‘flyway barriers’ – a tall fence that forces bees to fly upwards. Hive locations must be coordinated with the Bear Aware coordinator. Ron Glave is a member of the Revelstoke Beekeepers Facebook page and a novice beekeeper. “It’s very appropriate that there’s criteria for what’s acceptable and appropriate,” he said. “It gives some good guidelines to work with. There’s nothing in there that’s really glaring that seems unfair or unreasonable.”

Revelstoke Bear Aware

Revelstoke Bear Aware has been a key player in the backyard chickens debate over the past year, and has been involved in the development of these policies. Bear Aware coordinator Sue Davies said the organization would like to see several more rules and requirements added. They’d like to see provisions for a club or registry for beekeepers and those raising chickens. The idea is to raise standards and education about proper techniques, especially ones that would prevent attracting bears. She notes beehives, chickens and chicken feed are all bear attractants. Davies said she was “disappointed” that requirements for electric fencing were left out. “If we want to have food outside, then we’re going to attract bears,” Davies said of beehives, chickens and chicken feed. Davies said electric fences are relatively safe – at an electric fencing workshop last year, participants took turns zapping themselves. She admits electric fences are costly, but not having them will come with costs – resources spent handling forging bears, bears destroyed and potential dangerous conflicts. *** Interested in giving input?

Resident objects to vacation rental plan Editor, Re: City of Revelstoke unveils ‘tourist home’ plan permitting vacation rentals, News, April 17 The city has presented a plan which would see very specific areas of the city designated as vacation homes rentals. This newspaper had as the question of the week as to whether you were in favour of this or not. Of those who participated, 77 per cent said no. In normal circumstances that would be a red flag to the city against proceeding without major changes if indeed at all – but will it? I think the city has backed itself into a corner by not taking action over the past several years against the illegally operated vacation

L ET TER S rentals. So now they have taken a red pen and highlighted specific areas, streets and roads to be vacation rentals. How they have decided where to apply this ink seems to be quite random. There are some streets for example on Airport Way that have one house designated on the main road one or two houses designated on connecting street. There is one street where the whole street on both sides has been designated and that is the only street so designated in all of Arrow Heights. Have you read the bylaw that covers this? It is written in favour of the owner. You as a

neighbour will have no say or recourse if someone decides to open up a vacation rental home, no way to protest if behaviour is unacceptable, noisy or other. I know that the owners are generally very careful to ensure that their guests act appropriately but there are always the exceptions. Is there any guarantee that this bylaw will stop illegal rentals and what happens to all those that are already running out there? I trust that city council will take a good second look at this plan which is opposed by 77 per cent of the sample vote. Everyone who reads this, act before it is too late!

Revelstoke Crossing, p. 1 hall: “The regulatory and political environment in Revelstoke is the reason that we are selling the property. After almost nine years of work we are moving on.” Reacting to rumours that the property developers were halting their plans, the Times Review attended the planning committee’s regular meeting on April 25, where Revelstoke Crossing was on the agenda. At that meeting, City of Revelstoke Director of Planning John Guenther updated the committee on the development. “We’ve given the applicant a step-by-step evaluation of the next steps in subdivision. It deals with the land exchange, the road closure question and the works and services agreement,” he said. “We can’t move ahead with subdivision until the works and services agree-

ment and financial security is in place. So, we’re in a holding pattern in many respects because none of this can be finalized until the applicant steps up.” However, in a subsequent interview, Mayor David Raven said Platt had informed him of his intention to withdraw and sell the property on April 19. “It’s disappointing,” Raven said. “We thought it was a very exciting proposal, and it’s one that would have provided really strong economic benefits, particularly if there was three or four hotels built on that site. We’re still hoping that something will come forward.” Throughout the development of the Revelstoke Crossing, the mayor has recused himself from city council discussions of the project citing a conflict; Platt was the sole major financial contributor to Raven’s first bid for mayor in 2008. Raven said he’d updated the

planning department on April 22, three days before the planning committee meeting. So, why was this fact not on the table during a planning discussion of the development a few days later? Planning committee chairperson Coun. Linda Nixon said there had been in camera discussions “in recent months.” In a later interview with the Times Review, Guenther explained a notification from the mayor was not an official notification – that must come from the developer. “You may call it technical, but I call it a very important distinction between what our role is and what our role is not. If Steve [Platt] called me and said that to me and he wanted that to be known, then you would know that. But I don’t know that.” Guenther also disputed the nature of the notification from the mayor on April 22. “The

mayor came in for like five minutes on Monday and said, ‘There’s some issues here, and he’s working through a number of things, and there’s some challenges he’s got.’ That was the discussion I had.” Guenther said, in any case, it was inappropriate for him to receive notification from the mayor because he was associated with Platt. “The mayor, with his role working with Steve Platt, I don’t want to tread into that area because it’s really an ownership question and he’s playing a different role than he would normally as an elected official,” Guenther said. Guenther said although the current owner of the property is selling it, the potential to develop the property still exists, and a potential buyer would be paying for and inherit the development work done so far. “That potential still exists there,” he said.

Salmon Arm businessman, artist and sculptor Louis-Marc Simard is gearing up to retrofit the old Revelstoke Builders Supply building on Campbell Avenue into his high-art concept hostel The Cube. If all goes well, Simard and his partners hope to start construction in June and finish by Christmas. Simard built the Kicking Horse Lodge in Field about 20 years ago and then managed it for over a decade. He has been involved in other endeavours since then, including studying art at Emily Carr University in Vancouver. Not ready to retire yet, Simard saw an opportunity in the niche between existing hostels and motels. He’s targeting a $69 high-season rate. “I wanted to make something

that I think is needed and valuable,” he said. “It was in my mind, there is a market for a hostel that I call a boutique hostel.” The hostel will feature small, clean rooms with nice furnishings, including TVs. The real draw is the common areas, including a skylit kitchen and communal area on the second floor. A traveller himself, Simard enjoys the hostel experience while on the road. “One of my motivations is [creating] more of a happening kind of place, where you have an experience,” he said. He travelled to ski hostels in the region while researching The Cube, and said many of their clients are very upmarket – doctors, lawyers and young professionals looking to meet and mingle at the hostel while on their ski trip. He said they want “a more appealing package than your regular motel room.”

Most rooms will have a washroom and either two singles or a queen-sized bed. There will be one or two dorm rooms. One of the most striking aspects of the hostel is the design. The hostel is a retrofit of the existing two-storey cinderblock building. Simard said the limitations of the plain building didn’t lend itself to a heritage- or lodge-style retrofit, so he created a unique design. Inspired by famous Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, Simard created a design that incorporated Mondrian’s iconic combination of black lines and blocks of primary colours, creating a retro ‘70s look. He said it was a “convivial” way of cheering up an otherwise plain building. “The city has been a big supporter,” Simard said of the unusual design. He said the process had gone very well so far.

City to survey residents on farm market dog rules Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The City of Revelstoke will be surveying the public for input on its plan to create a new vicious dog procedure, and a policy for dogs at the Revelstoke Farm & Craft Market. The initiative resulted from a Sept. 15, 2012, dog attack at the market where a child was bitten. After the attack, the child’s parents asked the city to act on the dog issue at the market. At the April 23 city council meeting, city staff presented a proposed new vicious dog policy. The policy allows the animal control officer to declare a dog vicious after it has bitten someone or shows a “propensity, tendency or disposition to attack without provocation, other animals or humans.”

Once declared vicious, the dog would not be allowed offleash, even in off-leash areas. The owner would also be required to contain the dog within a secure building or pen at home so that children couldn’t get close to the dog. If not, they face a $200 fine. The city will also survey the public on what to do about the matter of dogs at the Revelstoke Farm & Craft Market. There were four dog bite attacks recorded by the city in 2012; one at the market and three in residential neighbourhoods. In 2012, city bylaw enforcement officers issued a total of 15 tickets for dogs at large. That includes dogs wandering alone and dogs accompanied by their owners but not on leash.

nage for parks and pathways across Revelstoke. At an April 25 city planning meeting, Bylaw Enforcement Officer Tim Luini unveiled plans for the new signs. He said the signs were intended to clarify the rules around where dogs were allowed off-leash and where leashes are required. They would be placed in city parks and trailheads across the city. Luini said city staff constantly run into difficulty when trying to enforce rules because dog owners with dogs off leash say they never saw a sign telling them otherwise. Although the plan requires council approval first, it was suggested that spray-painted stencils like the ones downtown could also be put on the asphalt walkway leading from Centennial Park to the Illecillewaet Greenbelt.

Vacation rental plan lacks process Editor, Re: City of Revelstoke unveils ‘tourist home’ plan permitting vacation rentals, News, April 17 I see in the April 17 Times Review, that our city planner has come up with yet another astounding scheme. While there may be some justification for vacation home rentals, the plan itself is offensive. Only properties along designated streets seem to be approved. What happened to the re-zoning process? My next-door neighbour will be able to apply

but I, simply because I live on a different street, cannot. Is that fair? Owners of the designated properties will not need neighbourhood approval. Adjacent property owners can only lodge a complaint if the rental property is violating the regulations and creating a disturbance. Sure, we know how that works! Rob Buchanan sure got it right in his April 24 cartoon! Bill Shuttleworth, Revelstoke

Workers’ memorial a reminder of need for workplace safety reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Several dozen people from a crosssection of the workforce attended a memorial for fallen workers on Friday afternoon. The memorial was part of Day of Mourning for fallen workers across British Columbia. In Revelstoke, the Revelstoke Teachers’ Association (RTA) organized the event. 181 people died in workplace accidents across British Columbia in 2012, said Jennifer Wolney, president of the RTA. Firefighters, paramedics, construction workers, teachers and railway workers attended the event at the workers memorial in Centennial Park. Mayor David Raven addressed the crowd, saying both of his grandfathers were killed while working in the mining industry. He said we needed to be thankful for the work people have put in to ensure we have safer work environments today. “It’s a different world that we have today,” he said. Les Daley, the union chair of the local engineers for CP Rail, used the occasion to remind people not to get

careless and to always follow safety protocols, no matter how many times you’ve done a task and how small the risk might be. “It’s not something you pay lip service to, it’s something you have to practice,” he said. “If you’re like me, you want your last day on earth to be way after your last day at work.” Wolney concluded by sharing the story of her father, who broke his leg while working on the Hugh Keenleyside Dam. For 2.5 years her family struggled while he recovered. “My family is just one in thousand to live through this kind of situation,” she said. “Many of them were worse off than we were. I wonder how many families didn’t survive.” She noted the situation in Bangladesh – where more than 300 people are dead after a factory collapsed earlier on Wednesday, Apr. 24. The tragedy has resulted in widespread protests about workplace safety in the south Asian country. “We need to lobby for the safety of all workers,” said Wolney. Her remarks were followed by a moment of silence, and then the bagpipes played as the crowd dispersed.

City stays course on tax increase Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

A last-minute rally by some city councillors seeking to lower the proposed city tax rate increase of 3.5 per cent came close to reopening the discussion, but in the end supporters held firm on the increase. The renewed discussion came at Revelstoke City Council’s April 23 meeting. Perennial tax fighter Coun. Tony Scarcella led the charge against the increase. “The direction we are going, we chase people out of town and we don’t attract business,” Scarcella said. Coun. Chris Johnston expressed his willingness to re-open the debate. But Coun. Phil Welock wanted to stand pat on the budget, saying there is a need to build reserves: “According to our MP Mr. David Wilks, 2014 is going to be an infrastructure year.” The argument is reserve funds will be needed to match anticipated federal grants. Coun. Linda Nixon expanded on her reasons for supporting the budget, saying the perception that council hadn’t worked hard and listened is wrong. She said she heard the business view from the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce, but said city expenditures to grow the resort had also greatly benefitted businesses. Nixon underscored the need to build the reserves, pointing out that just one incident – the culvert collapse on Airport Way – had decimated reserves. “Last year we had a surplus and we blew it on one thing,” she said. City Chief Administrative Officer Tim Palmer led a passionate defence of city staff, saying characterizations they were inefficient were wrong. “Generally, they do an outstanding job in finding efficiencies,” Palmer said. He felt three myths had arisen during the budget process, and disputed them.

They are: – that the budget doesn’t address operational efficiencies; Palmer cautioned critics “not to confuse efficiencies with service levels.” – that core operational costs are resulting in tax increases; “That is not true,” Palmer said, pointing to increased services, and costs from the museum, transit, RCMP and other key increases as examples of expenses driving increases. – that the budget does not address debt, borrowing and reserves; “I am confident that we have turned the tide on debt, borrowing and reserves,” Palmer said. Mayor David Raven anchored the defence of tax increases, saying they were driven by the costs of resort development, service increases are reservebuilding. He said the city was still recovering from debt issues that started when reserves were used up in the late 1990s. “We’re at the point now [where] we’re borrowing for simple maintenance,” he said. “It’s also been exacerbated by the growing demand for services.” Raven said he was willing to work through the weekend on a revision if council had the stomach for it. A resigned Coun. Johnston abstained from the vote. “I hear it year after year that next year is going to be better, and it’s just the same thing every year,” he said. Coun. Scarcella asked the mayor what was going to attract business and people to the community under a high tax regime. “They want to move here for the lifestyle we are offering,” Raven said, noting the community doesn’t suffer from doctor shortages like other Interior towns. Scarcella was the only vote in opposition of third reading of the budget bylaw.

What's Up with Rotary Revelstoke Rotary Club

Revelstoke Rotary Club Supports Schools in Need in Nicaragua By Chris Bostock Public Relations Co-Chair First of all, we would like to extend a very big thank you to all that supported our “Taste of India” event on Saturday, April 20 at the Community Centre. This sold-out event supported two great causes. One was Home for the Hunts, and Habitat for Humanity right here in Revelstoke - a legacy that we hope will continue to benefit Revelstoke families long into the future. The second beneficiary was a lunch program for the Gahrwali English Medium School, an elementary school providing free education to low-income children in Sainji, Northern India. The school lunch program will help ensure the kids at this school are focused on learning, rather than being distracted by hunger.

Beach Lodge. Monty’s helps vacationers to relax and experience Nicaragua, while also giving them the opportunity to help make improvements and participate in sustainable development. Monty’s has empowered volunteers from around the world to make a difference in this area, making it a perfect fit for Rotary. The Kamloops West Rotary Club built washrooms at two schools in Los Zorros and Jiquilillio, while the Coquitlam Sunrise Club built a third in Padre Ramos. In the planning phase, Sherry approached our club for support. “At the time, we were short $2115 of the $9115 needed to build both,” she says. “Our club was going to donate another $2000 if others couldn’t help out with the latrines,” she explained, “but with your support, we are using those funds to finish the school kitchen so the children can have lunches made.”

A “taste” of how that money is used...

Rotary Member for: 1 year.

Given the enormous success of the “Taste of India” event, we thought it would be a good idea to share one of our recent International projects, in cooperation with the Kamloops West Rotary Club, to show how dollars raised in our community are used. In late 2012, Revelstoke Rotary supported the Kamloops West Rotary Club in outfitting two separate elementary schools in Northern Nicaragua with proper latrines and wash basins. I spoke with Sherry Chamberlain, of the Kamloops West Rotary Club, who spearheaded this project. “These kids are growing up in very poor conditions,” Sherry explains. “For some, they’ve never had the opportunity to use flush toilets or access clean running water.” With the help of twelve Rotarian volunteers and seven paid Nicaraguan workers, schools in the towns of Padre Ramos, Los Zorros, and Jiquilillio all had washrooms and sewer systems installed between October and December 2012.

Sherry poses with a plaque recognizing the contributing Rotary clubs

True co-operation and an amazing impact. Many Rotarians had a hand in this project. In addition to Revelstoke Rotary Club’s support, the Kamloops West Club also received support from Rotary District 5060, the Kamloops North and Port Alberni Clubs, as well as three Rotary Clubs in Washington State. It’s impressive how a Rotary project can leverage committed volunteers, and stretch fundraised dollars to create the greatest possible impact. The final report on the project was a 42-page document, complete with receipts for all expenses. It’s clear that there’s a real respect for the money that others have donated to help these projects.

It’s also amazing how less than $10,000 – a seemingly small amount of money in this day and age - can positively impact the lives of so many people.

Rotary Member The newly-installed sinks.

How did Rotary select these schools in Nicaragua? “Several Kamloops members had already gone to this area to assist this poor community, and this project was identified as a priority,” Sherry explains. It’s easy to see why. The schools had 240 someodd students and teachers, yet they lacked basic sanitation. There were also ready partners on the ground near Jiquillio, in the form of Monty’s Revelstoke Rotary Club meets at noon each Thursday in the Begbie Room at the Regent Inn. If you’re interested in community service and learning what Rotary is all about, guests are welcome. You can contact any club member, or membership chair Randy Driediger at 250-837-6291.

With the ever-increasing popularity of mountain biking in Revelstoke, congestion is becoming an issue at local riding areas. That’s why the Revelstoke Cycling Association is looking to build new parking lots at Mt. Macpherson and Boulder Mountain this summer. Keith McNab, the president of the RCA, said there are plans and funding in place to expand the parking lot at the Griffith Creek Forest Service Road, which is often overflowing with vehicles. At Boulder Mountain, the plan – pending approval – is to expand the small parking area where most of the downhill trails end. On Mt. Macpherson, a new trail was built last summer to improve access from the Nordic Lodge parking lot to the top of the Quarry Trail. This summer, the RCA plans on turning the Stimulus trail into a loop that will lead back to the Nordic Lodge. There are also plans to build some shorter linking trails to improve access to certain trails, like Ridge Walk. They are also looking to finally complete the alpine loop on Frisby Ridge this summer. “Depending on how much money and energy we have, we’ll hopefully get those done too,” said McNab. The downhill committee opened up a new trail, Iron Lotus, late last summer, and it will be open as soon as the snow melts and trail maintenance is done this spring. There are no new trails planned this year, but the downhill committee will be flagging for potential new trails, said Andrew Clark, who heads the downhill group. The RCA will be continuing its popular race series. The crosscountry race series kicks off on Wednesday, May 22. Races will also be held on June 5, June 19, July 17, July 31, and August 14. The downhill series starts on Sunday, June 9, with a chainless race down TNT. It will be followed by races on June 23, Sept. 15, Sept. 29, and Oct. 20. There will three road races this summer. The first is an individual race on Tuesday, June 11. On June 25 there is a criterium race and on July 9 there is a team time trial. Visit bikerevelstoke.org for more information.

REVY RIDERS GET $85K FOR TRAIL, TRACK IMPROVEMENTS The Revy Riders are continuing to grow, with the latest good news for the dirt bike club coming in the form of $85,000 from the Tourism Infrastructure Fund. “It’s going to be a big year,” club president Chris Pawlitzky told me. The funding, which comes from hotel tax revenue, was approved by council last week. It will go towards a slew of activities: - A five-kilometre beginner trail - A 10-kilometre intermediate/ advanced trail - A bridge of Deadman’s Creek to keep riders off Westside Road - Completion of the endurocross track - A kid’s track and trail - A berm to help reduce noise to Glacier House Resort - A watering system - A spectating area and storage container for equipment The club, who’s membership has grown to about 100 this

year, also plans on hosting its first event on Sunday, Sept. 22. “It’s a family fun ride and it’s going to be showcasing our trails, our track, our enduro-cross,” said Pawlitzky. “We want to get people to Revelstoke to showcase our riding area because by then we’re going to have even more of product to advertise and we want to get people to town to show them what we have to offer.”

CLIMBING COOP TARGETING FALL OPENING The Revelstoke Climbing Co-op is eyeing several locations to open up an indoor bouldering wall this fall. The co-op has been meeting and fundraising for several years now and is now getting close to opening. Members are just trying to nail down a location for a fall opening. “We’re getting hold of the owners to see if we can make that work,” said Kayle Robson. “Then we’re moving on to doing some more fundraising this summer so

we can have a lower start-up cost for the members.” The club received a little more than $2,100 in funding from the Columbia Basin Trust earlier this year to go towards building the wall. Once a location is figured out, the executive will figure out the costs of operating the wall and then set a membership price. The size of the wall will depend on which space they end up renting. Robson said it is expected to cost about $30,000 per year to operate the climbing wall. Users will have to sign up for a lifetime membership, and then pay an annual fee to use the wall. They are planning a membership drive this summer to get people to commit to the co-op. “People are going to have to commit so we can build the space,” she said. While the main focus is on the bouldering wall, the club plans on looking at supporting outdoor climbing in the future, if the money is there. “Not to put ourselves responsible for outside routes, but to give people money who put up new routes or repair equipment,” Robson said. “Right now it’s out of people’s owns pockets so we’d like to help out with that and protect access to certain climbing areas.” To keep track of what the Revelstoke Climbin Co-op us up to, search for their group on FaceThe Revelstoke Climbing Co-op has its eye towards supporting outdoor book.

RMR announces summer operations Revelstoke Mountain Resort will be running the gondola to mid-station this summer from June 28 to September 3. The gondola will run from 6:30-11 a.m. for sight seeing and breakfast at the day lodge. It will cost $15 to ride the gondola, or $29 with a buffet breakfast.

Most of the cost is for the fencing, and Brendance MacIntosh, who is heading up the project, said he will be meeting with the city and preparing a new budget as he seeks funding. The RTA plans on building two pump tracks – one beginner and one intermediate/advanced. It has scrapped plans for a series of dirt jumps.

Aaron Volpatti has signed a two-year contract extension with the Washington Capitals, the team announced last Wednesday, Apr. 24. Capitals general manager George McPhee said Volpatti signed a deal that will see him get paid $550,000 in 2013-14 and $600,000 in 2014-15. The 28-year-old Revelstoke native has scored one goal and one assist in 33 games with Washington and Vancouver this season, to go along with 35 penalty minutes. He was acquired by the Capitals after being placed on waivers by the Vancouver Canucks earlier this year. He has played mostly on the fourth line, though he did suit up briefly on the Capitals first line with Alexander Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom. The 6’0” 215-pound Volpatti has five points and 88 penalty minutes in 71 career NHL games.

pump track is on hold as the Revelstoke Trail Alliance seeks extra funding to build the track. The alliance put in a request to the city for dirt for the track, as well as about $40,000 of in-kind support to use the city’s equipment, screen the dirt, build a new fence on one of the ball fields, add benches and move the shot put. Council approved donating the dirt for the track, but said the RTA should look elsewhere to fund the rest of the work.

Revelstoke’s U14 girls rep soccer team travelled to Salmon Arm where they defeated the Shuswap Selects 3-1 on Saturday. Myah Kramer scored twice and Cassie Federico scored one goal in the win. Head Coach Nadine Ducharme was very pleased with the strong “team” effort. On Sunday, the U14 Girls played Kelowna, who placed second in the province last season, and fell short 5-0. Next up for the girls rep team is a home game on Saturday, May 4, against Kamloops and a road game Sunday against Vernon. *** The Revelstoke U11 boys soccer team participated in its first jam-

boree of the season on April 28 in Penticton. The first game saw Revelstoke defeat Kamloops 4-0 with two goals from Tyler Jamieson and singles from Grady Powell and Caleb Guenther. David Kline picked up the shutout. The second game against Kelowna saw a scoreless first half. Kelowna scored twice in the second half for a well-deserved 2-0 victory. Coach Alan Chell was very pleased with the teams performance and was particularly impressed with the play of centre back Jackson Litke who read the play well, tackled the ball aggressively and demonstrated strong ball control from the back line. Next up for the team is a jamboree in Kelowna on Sunday, May 5.

Obituaries Charles Joseph Varalta June 8, 1933 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; April 18, 2013

Charlie Varalta, who was a friend to all, died unexpectedly in Revelstoke, BC on April 18, 2013. A Mass of Christian Burial was held at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Revelstoke on Saturday morning, April 27th, 2013 with Father Aaron de Dios celebrant. Charlie is survived by his sister Miki of Revelstoke; children Maria of Perth, Australia, Theresa (Paul) of Calgary, Joe of Vancouver, Dan of Winfield,Â Jason (Miv) of Qualicum Beach and grandson Joe.Â He was pre-deceased by his parents Augusto and Maria, and his sister Vi. Charlie was born at home on the farm in Naples, Alberta where he lived through childhood.Â He played hockey, softball and was champion bantam-weight boxer in 1951. Charlie began his career as a journeyman mechanic in Calgary, and he was a very good one.Â He was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;old-schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;; able to diagnose by listening using a solid metal bar pressed against the engine block.Â Over the years he worked at various mechanic jobs until 1983 when he hired on with the Golden School District.Â His duties widened to include driving the school bus on the Golden to Field run.Â He was very popular with his passengers. His retirement in 1993 was only partial; he had purchased the Pinewood Motel a few years earlier, and this was his final job.Â The vacancy rate was low, and his backyard was the neighbourhood gathering place. Total retirement came after relocating to Revelstoke to join his long-time partner Elaine.Â He purchased property in Trout Lake where he could be in his boat in minutes to pursue his favourite pastime; fishing.Â Despite never being able to catch â&#x20AC;&#x153;the big oneâ&#x20AC;? during any of the local fishing derbies, Charlie would have declared each and every day a grand success.Â The fire pit beside his trailer at Trout Lake with the veranda over the Lardeau River was where the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories were shared, especially with good friends Jim and Fred. If desired, in lieu of flowers, a charitable donation may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.Â Messages of condolences can be forwarded to the family by viewing Charlieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obituary at www. brandonbowersfuneralhome.com. Cremation arrangements were in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.

Wolfgang Jurgen Seyfert Wolfgang Jurgen Seyfert passed away at Queen Victoria Hospital, Revelstoke on Sunday, April 21, 2013 at the age of 78 years. A Funeral Service was held at the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection on Friday afternoon, April 26th with Pastor Richard Klein officiating. Interment followed in the family plot of Mountain View Cemetery, Revelstoke. Pallbearers were: Kevin M. Coulter, PGC, Dave Roney, Steven Hui, Milton Tisdale, PC, Denny Kaulback and Rick Seyfert. Honorary pallbearer was Horst (Harry) Seyfert and swordbearer was Ray Cretelli, GMA. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Revelstoke Cancer Support Group, c/o Revelstoke Credit Union, Box 989, Revelstoke, B.C. V0E 2S0, in memory of Wolfgang. Wolfgang was born on January 9, 1935 in Schwersenz, Poznan, Poland and had been a resident of Revelstoke since 1966. He graduated from a horticultural institute in Germany and with that degree came to Canada to join his brother Herb where they operated greenhouses and a florist shop in Revelstoke. In 1985 the greenhouses were closed and Wolf dedicated his time and efforts solely to Revelstoke Florist. When he sold the flower shop he focused all his time and attention to his personal gardens. He enjoyed sharing his flowers and the bounty of his garden with his many friends. Wolf was a gentle, quiet man with a giving and caring heart. He was not just a florist â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he was compassionate and had a flair when arranging his pieces. Wolf was a long-time member of the Knights of Pythias and D.O.K.K. Lodges and was a Past Grand Master at Arms. Wolf was predeceased by his parents, Erich and Erdmuthe, his beloved wife Silvia and one brother Herbert. He is survived by his brother Harry and sister-in-law Christel of San Diego, California; one niece and one nephew of Revelstoke; close long-time friends Kevin and Kim Coulter, Steven and Dorothy Hui of Revelstoke, and a good many friends and neighbours. Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family would like to thank Dr. Molder and the nurses at Queen Victoria Hospital for their tender loving care given to Wolf. Messages of condolence may be sent to Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and friends by viewing his obituary at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com. Arrangements were in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.
