City of Revelstoke announces major restructuring

2013 B.C. Mine Rescue Competition

City eliminates planning director position, intends to focus on ‘development services’ over planning Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The City of Revelstoke announced a sweeping overhaul to city administration and services, including staff reductions, realignment of duties and responsibilities amongst city departments and a review of city services. The major changes were announced on June 5. Here are some specifics: – Director of Engineering Mike Thomas will assume an expanded role, replacing the recently departed planning director John Guenther. Thomas’s position will be Director of Engineering and Development and he will oversee engineering, building inspection, planning and development services. – Engineering, planning and building inspection services will be located on the lower level of city hall. – Bylaw enforcement will now be a responsibility of the administration department, not the planning department. – The city will create a new communications/corporate administration position. – The city plans to eliminate several positions, but hasn’t specified which ones. Some of these positions will result in new, integrated positions. – The city plans to review public works with the view of making the department more efficient. – The bylaw creation process will take place in the administration department; for the past several years, the lion’s share of new bylaws were generated and driven by the planning department. – The city plans to physically overhaul the city hall building. In addition to the long-planned upgrade to the stucco envelope, a new service entrance will be added on Second Street. It will be accessible to those with mobility challenges. In an interview with the Times Review, City of Revelstoke Chief Administrative Officer Tim Palmer said the changes are designed to improve customer service, create a more efficient organization, improve communications and focus on core services. He said the city has drifted away from its core services and had become bureaucratic and inefficient, creating “significant frustration” amongst its clients. “By realigning and integrating the departments we’ll save a lot of duplication in labour that was occurring. Coming with that will also be improved customer service,” Palmer said. He added the changes will also lead to streamlined internal processes. “By realigning and integrating the departments we’ll save a lot of dupli-

The Provincial Mine Rescue Competition took place in Revelstoke on Saturday, and made for some intense moments as mine rescue teams from across B.C. competed in a series of challenge tasks. Clockwise from top: Members of the Coal Mountain Mine rescue team move in to put out a fire during one of the tests the teams went through; A member of the Wolverine mine rescue team is lowered down with a stretcher while his teammate cares for a man who’d fallen into a large container; The Gibraltar mine rescue team takes part in the three-person First Aid drill, which saw them care for one man who was electrocuted and another that had his arm cut off in a conveyor accident.

The scaffolding on the Revelstoke Courthouse dome is almost complete. Victoria-based Industrial Scaffold Services erected the frame last week and will complete a heat shrink-wrap by our press time. “It’s a full enclosure so they can sandblast it,” explained foreman Aaron Neale, who sweated away under a hot sun when I visted the workplace on June 6. “This is basically a structure for them to get at it and it’s a structure for us to do a containment over it and keep the material off the building itself.” This will prepare the site for Mid-City Roofing, who will move in to put a membrane on the failing copper roof in the coming

weeks. City of Revelstoke public works director Darren Komonoski toured me around the site. He pulled down a hatch in a third floor hallway, leading us into the dome room. It’s wood-framed with wooden slat flooring. Inside, a giant glass pyramid dominates the room. It allows light from the dome windows to pass through into the stained glass ceiling in the courtroom. We crawled out a window and toured around the roof, which has a commanding view of the neighbourhood. Once you’re up close, you can see the copper underneath the peeling green paint covering the roof. The copper is a dark grey colour, caused by a chemical reaction from paint coverings that have been put on since it was

completed nearly a century ago. Once finished, the roof will be a ‘cool mint’ green, which is designed to mimic aging copper. It will be a slightly different colour than the existing powdery blue. The target for completion is in July – but you know how construction deadlines go. Court was in session on Wednesday, so work was halted to prevent disrupting the proceedings. Komonoski said the two-year delay to get the work started turned out for the better. The final cost was lower than expected and the city was able to get grants from Heritage B.C. ($25,000) and the Columbia Basin Trustn ($50,000). Mid-City won the contract to do the renovation for $200,245.

Monument to pioneering surveyor Walter Moberly proposed Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

A group of enthusiasts from the B.C. Historical Federation is planning to build a monument to pioneer surveyor Walter Moberly, who is credited with finding and naming the Eagle Pass in preparation for an anticipated railway line. Gray Creek resident Tom Lymbery is a spokesperson for the group behind the planned four-metre sculpture they want to erect in Woodenhead Park. In an interview with the Times Review he explained retired B.C. surveyor John Whittaker “spearheaded” the initiative. Although Moberly is known in Revelstoke, the group feels history has passed him over and has not given the engineer and surveyor his due. “Moberly is a man who we feel hasn’t been properly acknowledged and Revelstoke is the natural place,” Lymbery said. They suggest Moberly rivals Alexander Mackenzie and Simon Fraser for “the importance of his explorations [to the] future of the nation.” An English-born engineer and surveyor, Moberly worked on railway construction in Ontario before locating to Rocky Mountain

House, Alberta. He then moved to Victoria in 1858 to get in on the gold rush. He surveyed in the Cariboo during the rush, and then worked on civil engineering projects in the Lower Mainland and the Interior. In 1865, while he was serving as Assistant Surveyor General for B.C., Moberly surveyed the Eagle Pass and is credited for discovering the viable rail and road route through the Monashee Mountains. It was another 20 years before the CPR line was forged through the pass. Lymbery explained the historical group wants to erect a three-metre stainless steel transit to memorialize Moberly. A transit (or theodolite) is a surveyor’s tool used to measure angles. They want to mount the instrument on large granite boulders, bringing the total height to four metres. Lymbery explained the group is in the fundraising stage now. They’ve spoken with the City of Revelstoke planning department and Mayor David Raven, but not the city’s public art committee. For now, Lymbery and the group are hoping to get the word out and build public support. “We are hoping the City of Revelstoke will help set it up,” he said.

Union representative: city cutbacks won’t lead to significant job losses City restructuring, from page 1 cation in labour that was occurring. Coming with that will also be improved customer service. “What we’ve recognized today and what I think council has heard from the citizens is we want really good day-to-day processing of applications and ... services.” Palmer said the public had disengaged from a city hall preoccupied with “endless” and “ambiguous long-term planning initiatives.” Mayor David Raven said the changes are in response to several pressures. “Council is committed to these proactive steps to address our debt, infrastructure deficit, and business sector demands to reduce tax increases,” he said. “It is also a favourable time for our employees to take advantage of change to improve their workplace environment. This is more about the creation of opportunities to improve than the reduction of services.”

Palmer said the new development services focus doesn’t mean undoing years of community input and planning processes. He said the city was dealing with a changed reality from the early days of Revelstoke Mountain Resort development and was trying to reflect that. “We recognize that the magnitude of the development isn’t quite what was envisioned in 2007 and 2008 and this is an appropriate time to pause and make sure we’re protecting those long-term interests of the residents.” He said the restructuring at city hall reflected this change of pace. The city will “pause and think about how fast we’re going with this.” He said the overhaul will also focus on public works services, looking to create efficiencies and save in that department. Palmer didn’t have specific targets for savings. He said the city plans to meet a recent city council

objective of $160,000 in savings via an internal operations review, but couldn’t put a target on the overall total, adding it would be “quite significant on the money side.” The savings will come from staff reductions and position amalgamations, reductions in contract services and operational efficiencies, Palmer said. City officials are in discussion with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 363, the union that represents city employees. Palmer said the changes had created anxiety amongst staff, but he also saw “genuine optimism amongst staff that these are going to be positive changes.” He said some of the staff reductions would come through attrition and retirements, adding the savings to the city would be “significant” despite costs associated with reducing staff.

Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce supports city restructuring

The Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce issued a statement supporting the restructuring approach taken by the City of Revelstoke, saying the chamber board hoped the changes will lead “to improved customer experience and reduced operating costs.” “We appreciate the time and effort that Tim [Palmer] and his team have put into this restructuring plan,” the Chamber board stated in a June 6 media release. “We are pleased with the changes in the approach of planning initiatives to ‘building and development’ to ensure ‘efficient processing of day to day applications.’” They said it showed a commitment on behalf of city council to

take, “proactive steps to address our debt, infrastructure deficit, and business sector demands to reduce tax increases.”

CUPE spokesperson says few jobs will be lost Greg Ingram is the national representative for CUPE. Following an initial meeting with city officials, Ingram said the changes won’t lead to significant job losses. “For the most part, the city is restructuring and it looks like there will be little job loss with a realinement of responsibilities,” he said. “Losses seem to have been managed mostly through attrition. There are some initiatives which need to be discussed and clarified.” Ingram will be meeting with city officals again this week.

elstoke’s carbon footprint,” said Mayor David Raven in a news release sent out on Friday. In February 2012, the Times Review reported that RCEC was exploring future ownership models with the aim of expanding the district energy system. $40,000 was allocated to hire a consultant to develop a package soliciting expressions of interest. The request for expressions of interest went out in July 2012 and the city chose to work with Corix in the fall. In a March 2012 interview with the Times Review, David Johnson, the former president of RCEC who passed away not long after the interview, said the energy system had reached its capacity and required an influx of capital to expand. It was looking at three options: – The city retaining 100 per cent ownership and RCEC remaining as is or expanding through loans and grants. – A co-operative ownership model with a private partner. – The outright sale of RCEC to an outside party. The news release sent out by Corix Friday morning says the two parties will work to “develop a comprehensive plan for the ownership, operation and maintenance of the city’s biomass-based district thermal energy system.” Geoff Battersby, the current president of RCEC, said the options laid out by Johnson remained on the table. “Both the options of either a co-operative model with a private party or it being sold to an outside party are being explored with Corix,” he said. “If we don’t come up with something that we thinks suits our interest than we will stick with 100 per cent ownership by the city.” Jack Touhey, Corix’s vice president of public and government affairs, said the company would be open to either outright ownership or partnering with the city. He said Corix will look at the value of RCEC over the coming

months and see if it makes financial sense to buy into the business. This would involve looking at the capital cost of expanding the system, what rates would need to be charged to make the investment worthwhile, and whether customers would be willing to pay those rates. “It’s got an engineering and technical phase and its got an economic financial side,” he said. The decision to explore the privatization of RCEC has been conducted with little public discussion, though Battersby says it was brought up during open meetings on the District Energy and Expansion Plan. It was revealed after minutes from a meeting were mistakenly placed in a council agenda package in February 2012. RCEC chose to work with Corix in the fall and it took until recently to develop a memorandum of understanding on moving forward. “The process of trying to arrive at an MoU has been rather laborious, I must say,” said Battersby. The Revelstoke Community Energy Corporation was founded in 2005 to run Revelstoke’s thermal district energy system. Using wood waste from Downie Timber, it provides heating to 10 downtown buildings, including Downie, Revelstoke Secondary School, Begbie View Elementary,

Minto Manor, city hall and the community centre. The city’s District Energy Expansion Plan calls for expanding RCEC to include areas like the Trans-Canada Highway corridor, however Battersby said the current facility is maxed out and it would be difficult for the city to raise the capital needed to expand by itself. “For RCEC to further expand the system would require a lot of capitalization,” he said. “At this point, all our energy is on the market and if the opportunity to serve other customers comes up, we would not be in a position to provide them because we don’t have more energy available.” Corix is a Vancouver-based developer of sustainable water, wastewater and energy utility infrastructure. It runs a biomass energy utility at the Dockside Green in Victoria, and the Neighbourhood Energy Utility at Simon Fraser University. “We are pleased to formalize our partnership with the City of Revelstoke,” said Eric van Roon, the vice president and chief operating officer at Corix Utlities. “As an experienced district energy utility owner and operator, we look forward to working closely with the City to develop a plan to meet each of its objectives for district energy delivery.”

Rotary tent slasher sent to prison for repeated breaches of probation Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

One of the three Rotary tent slashers was placed in custody for 45 days after repeatedly breaking the terms of his probation. The 16-year-old was originally arrested and charged for slashing the Rotary tents before the Glacier Challenge softball tournament in July 2011. He had been back in court several times for failing to meet the terms of his probation, including not completing his community service. Last week, he was back in court for a series of breaches, including failing to attend a full-time youth program in Cranbrook, consuming alcohol and breaching his curfew. "It's not a hopeful pre-sentence report," said Judge Wilfred Klinger. "It's been a long haul," replied probation officer Bob Sawatzky, adding he didn't see the use for further probation. The youth acknowledged his inability to meet the terms of his probation and said he preferred to be placed in custody. "I don't know. I fell off the grid. I didn't know what to do with my life anymore," said the youth. "I'm a hard person to work with. I won't lie. I have a short attention span." Klinger handed a 45-day sentence, with 30 days to be spent in custody and 15 days spent with community supervision.

June court report

Series of crimes nets man 90 days in prison A Revelstoke man was handed a 90-day suspended sentence for a string of crimes he committed earlier this year. Keith Alexander McKay pleaded guilty to a number of offences, included possession of stolen property, theft, use of a stolen credit card, possession of stolen property and fraud under $5,000. The charges stemmed from three different incidents. The first took place in Squamish, B.C., on Feb. 13, 2013, when he used a friend's debit card to withdraw $100 from a bank account. The second incident happened later that day, when he stole his girlfriend's father's truck. He was stopped in Surrey and arrested. The third incident happened on Mar. 21 when he stole a vehicle and credit card from someone. He attempted to use the credit card at 7-Eleven and again at the TD Canada Trust. The thefts were reported and he was arrested not long after. "I'm sorry for what I've done in the past," McKay said during sentencing, adding that he recently had a child with his girlfriend. Judge Wilfred Klinger noted McKay's previous criminal history in his sentencing. "The question is, when are you going to learn?" he asked. "Now that I have a kid, I know

it's not just about me," replied McKay. Klinger handed down a 90-day suspended sentence, to be served on weekends, and one year probation, with conditions not to enter any vehicles unless permitted, not have contact with any of the victims, and not be in possession of anyone's identification, credit cards, debit cards, cheques and more. "I hope this will compel you to change your behaviour," he said.

Youth receives probation for bush party brawl A Revelstoke youth was ordered to attend a placement program and given a probation term of eight months for her role in a brawl at a bush party in March. The incident took place on Mar. 22 at around 11:30 p.m. According to crown prosecutor Angela Ross, the youth was in a group of four when one girl asked for a cigarette. She was told yes, but only if she punched another girl. The girl did so, but the victim quickly gained the upper hand in the fight. That's when the accused jumped in and started kicking the victim. The youth was already on probation for a previous assault and her conditions included a curfew and an alcohol prohibition. Youth worker Bob Sawatzky told the court that the youth had poor

New principal hired at BVE Times Review staff

The Revelstoke School District has hired a husband-wife team to be the principal of Begbie View Elementary and District Principal of Support Services. Yanping Wang will start as principal of Begbie View Elementary at the beginning of August. She will take over the position from Shan Jorgensen-Adam, who left the school at the end of 2012 due to a family illness. Jane Morris and Derek Woodhurt have served as acting-principal since the start of the 2013. Wang comes to Begbie View with more than a decade of experience as an elementary school principal. Since 2001, she has been principal at three different elementary schools in Surrey, B.C., including four years at a level one inner city school. Before that, she spent six years as principal at two different elementary schools in the Boundary/Kettle Valley area. Wang’s hiring came after her husband Nian Zhu was selected to the district principal of support services, replacing Trish Smilie, who left late last year. The two made a visit to Revelstoke together when Zhu was interviewed for his job and at that point Wang decided to apply for the BVE

attendance at school and recommended she attend the six-month placement program. The youth's lawyer, Melissa Klages, noted the youth's tough childhood. She said the youth was now getting good support from her friends, family and the community "She needs to stay busy and productive to stay out of trouble," said Klages, who added the youth would prefer to return to school than attend the placement program. Judge Wilfred Klinger ordered the youth to attend the program and gave her eight months of probation. "You have to understand if you continue down this path you will go to jail. That won't do you any good, but I have to protect the community," he said. "I'm not giving up on you. The community is not giving up on you." Last month her co-accused pleaded guilty to the assault charge and agreed to enter into a 12-month recognizance to stay away from the victim.

Different fines for same skiing crime Two skiers pleaded guilty and were fined for entering a closed area of Glacier National Park. They were upset though, because a third member of their party received a smaller fine because he was about to leave the country. The three people were caught skiing in the Loop Brook area of the park on Apr. 1 when it was

marked closed. They said they got an early start that morning to avoid avalanche hazards later in the day, but they had neglected to check the status of the closures. “We made an honest mistake in not checking the closures that morning,” said one skier. However, they contended the $500 fine the Crown was asking for was unfair because their friend was only fined $115 for the violation when it was learned he was about to return to Europe. Judge Wilfred Klinger asked federal Crown prosecutor Nick Vlahos to justify the larger fine. "The reason the punishment is different is because there would have been none otherwise," said Vlahos. On that note, Klinger lowered the fine to $250 each.

Man gets 30 days for driving offence A man with a history of driving offences was given a 30-day sentence after being found guilty of impaired driving, refusing to provide a breath sample, and driving while prohibited. Thomas R. A. Reisig was stopped on Aug. 10, 2012. He pleaded guilty in April 2010 for refusing to provide a breath sample, and again in February 2012 for driving while prohibited. For his third offence, Judge Wilfred Klinger gave him 30 days in prison, six months probation, a oneyear driving prohibition, and a $100 victim-fine surcharge.

CBC Radio polls Revelstoke on bureau preference AARON ORLANDO

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

CBC Radio is conducting a 12-day online poll to gauge the radio preferences of Revelstoke listeners in order to help the broadcaster decide the CBC Radio Kamloops versus CBC Radio Kelowna debate. In the fall of 2012, CBC Radio opened a new bureau in Kamloops and switched the Revelstoke listening area to Kamloops. Some residents protested to Revelstoke City Council, which resulted in a request from the City of Revelstoke to have the Kelowna feed back. The city argued Kelowna is a better, more natural fit for Revelstoke. City council also said they weren’t consulted before the change was made. Bureaucratic snafus then delayed the request for months. Johnny Michel is the CBC Radio senior managing director for B.C. and Alberta. In a June 10 interview, he said the poll is in response to the City of Revelstoke lobby to

have the radio feed switched back. Michel said he’d spoken with Revelstoke Mayor David Raven, who said he’d received 50–70 emails on the issue with two-thirds requesting the switch back. But Michel told the Times Review that number doesn’t represent a majority in a town with over 7,000 residents. Michel said the “unscientific” online poll is designed “to gauge what the overall sentiment is in Revelstoke. “We’re here to serve the B.C. public,” Michel said. “I think it’s wonderful that there is a conversation going on about which CBC service British Columbians want. That means that we are listened to, that means we are part of the community.” The CBC will use the results of the poll to help guide their decision. It isn’t intended to be binding. CBC Radio is promoting the poll using radio messages that are fed only to listeners in Revelstoke, and CBC radio hosts have discussed the issue on the air. “We’ll wait until the 12 days are over

Cuts to forestry a perilous path NORM MACDONALD MLA Report

Forestry is incredibly important to the economy of our area. The BC Liberals may only want to talk about natural gas, but people in my communities know that forestry must not be ignored. Unlike much of rural British Columbia, this area has maintained a fairly healthy manufacturing base. And the market for our manufactured wood products is strengthening in the United States which is good news for us. This constituency is fortunate to have Downie Timber, Selkirk Specialty, StellaJones, LP Golden, Brisco Wood, Skookumchuck Pulp, WoodEx, and Canfor operations in Radium and Canal Flats.

These mills provide hundreds of family supporting jobs and millions of dollars in wages. Their success means a lot for all of us. While this industry is highly dependent on market forces, the government is still responsible for ensuring that it provides the right environment for success. Our forests must be managed sustainably. With 94 per cent of our province owned by the Crown, the provincial government has an obligation to manage it properly. Without careful stewardship by government, it becomes difficult to assure our international buyers that our wood products are environmentally sustainable. Forest companies have been clear that they rely on British Columbia’s good reputation

and we’ll see what kind of results we get and we’ll take it from there,” Michel said. “We’ll have another conversation with the mayor and then we’ll see how to proceed.” Michel also noted CBC Daybreak Kamloops had the second-highest ratings in a recent survey of the Kamloops radio market, something he said was “unprecedented” for a program that has been on the air for less than a year. To vote, visit the CBC Kamloops website at cbc.ca/kamloops/. The poll is located on their homepage. It started on June 10 and runs until about June 22. If CBC decides to switch back to Kelowna, they will have to apply to the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), the federal regulator. Michel said that in his experience that can take anywhere from six weeks to six months. “We’ll see what the results [of the poll] are and we’ll take it from there,” Michel said. in forestry to retain their certification. The provincial government is putting this certification at risk. The government is not replanting trees, nor is it doing proper timber and non-timber inventory. The government is not fulfilling its obligation to include local communities or First Nations in decision making. And, the BC Liberals intend to cut a further $40 million from the Ministry of Forest. This is a perilous path. People in my communities understand the true value of forestry for our local economies. We know that forestry can continue to provide prosperity if we make the right decisions. If you are concerned about the cuts that are planned for the Ministry of Forests, take a moment to send an email to FLNR.minister@gov.bc.ca. Norm Macdonald MLA Columbia River—Revelstoke

The Selkirk Saddle Club broke ground last week on its new riding arena, a covered structure that will allow the club to function better all year round. Club secretary Tanya Secord was thrilled the years of fundraising and planning was finally taking physical shape. “Obviously we’re over the moon. We’re excited about it,” she said. “We’re very thankful for the support that we’ve had.” She noted the club has dreamed of having a riding roof over its head for more than 40 years. Secord explained the new 18 by 27 metre building will allow for riding and exercise in the win-

ter, when snow and ice makes exercising the horses difficult. Bad weather in the rainy seasons also puts a damper on other programs, making it hard to schedule regular practice sessions for competitive riders, for example. In addition to the ability to offer expanded lessons for children, the club also has members who are completing therapeutic riding training. The club is exploring options for offering services and programs to those with developmental disabilities. The club also hopes to partner with other community groups to use the partially enclosed building such as for canine training and canine search and rescue training.

New Jaws of Life

The club is also completing work on a large fenced riding area. Secord said the club is thankful for support from many organizations, including BC Hydro, the City of Revelstoke, the Columbia Basin Trust, Revelstoke Credit Union, K&W Trucking, Score Construction, H&J Ready Mix, Vic Van Isle, Rona, Niklas Sobry from Elevation Construction and Vanessa Morrow from Stantec. The building will actually be about 75 per cent of the originally planned length. They’re getting the first part done now and will continue to fundraise for the rest. “Everybody’s going to pitch in one way or the other,” Secord said.

My kingdom for a hi-res publicity shot! And a pox on the disorganized houses of Facebook and MySpace! The Revelstoke Times Review would like to nominate East Van party band Moonshine Express for the best band website we’ve seen in a while (moonshineexpress.com). Bucking the trend of cluttered incohesion, their housekept and well-stated ‘site actually tells the band’s story and gives you an idea of what you’re going to get if you go see them play. And that’s a party-primed, funk-influenced, DIY fivepiece band that mashes soul, jazz, funk and rock into their fun, musically accomplished vibe. And they skat/rap a little. ME released their first EP thank drunk I’m not God in 2011 and has followed up with two singles this year, Big City and Moonshine Express Theme II. No time to check out their website? The closest I can come up with is a jazzier, tighter Uplift Mofo Party Plan with horns. They come across as band that would be equally fun to party to and party with.

In the forest with RCFC

www.revelstoketimesreview.com

On the day the Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation celebrated its 20th anniversary by planting its 10.5-millionth tree, I was given an extensive tour of part of the operation around the Key Forest Service Road. It provided insight into not only RCFC, but forestry practice as a whole.

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke along Highway 23, there’s a sign letting you know when you enter Tree Farm License 56 – “Community owner and operated since 1993.” The TFL is owned by the Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation. The TFL is 120,000 hectares, most of which can’t be logged due to caribou protection, difficult access or the fact that large portions consist of treeless alpine terrain. Many people experience the area by driving up the Keystone Forest Service Road to the famous Keystone-Standard Basin trail. Others will have seen it from the Goldstream River, or driven up Downie Creek and perhaps over to the distant reaches of Sorcerer Creek. On a fairly typical Revelstoke day in late-May, when the clouds flowed ominously and you were never sure if it was going to start raining or be sunny, I headed north with Mike Copperthwaite, Kevin Bollefer and Geoff Battersby of RCFC. The day was initially pitched as a photo op as RCFC celebrated its 20th anniversary by planting its 10.5-millionth tree. Wanting to know more about RCFC, and forestry in general, I asked if I could get a full tour. They happily obliged.

On silviculture We turned off the highway at the Key Forest Service Road, where we drove up about five kilometres to a recently-planted cut block. There we met Brenda Dyck, her assistant Ben and her dog Winston. Dyck is a Salmon Arm-based contractor who runs the silviculture program for RCFC and several other regional forestry operations. Dyck has been in forestry for more than 30 years and has run her consulting company since 1991. She looks after the silviculture for RCFC, meaning everything that

takes place after logging, such as site preparation, planting, and brushing. “After these guys mow them down, I come out and I see if we can look after it without doing any preparation with a machine or anything,” she told me. “Then I decide the species that go on to the blocks based on what came off it and what we think would do best, with climate change and all those things.” She hires the contractors – Revelstoke-based Fireweed Mountain Silviculture and Sundance Forest Management – who do the actual planting. “I try to plant a few trees a year so I stay sympathetic,” Dyck told me later when we sat down for lunch. A few years ago, RCFC was looking to reduce the costs of its silviculture practice, which then ran about $1 million. A request for proposals was sent out and a joint bid by Dyck and Azimuth Forestry won out. Copperthwaite credited them with saving RCFC about $400,000 per year, while improving silviculture results. “We’d never done mounding until Brenda came here,” he said, noting one of the improvements she’d brought to the operation. There are a number of factors that go into what trees to plant, such as the elevation, aspect and the dryness of the soil. They will also look what existed on the stand in the past and try to plant a similar and diverse mix of cedar, hemlock, spruce, fir and others. The trees that are planted are grown at a nursery for two years before they’re put in a ground, so Dyck will work with RCFC to see where they plan on cutting so she knows what to grow. Hopefully they don’t change plans because seeds are chosen to be planted within a certain elevation and distance from where they were collected, she said. “We’re really specific as to which trees we put where.” Dyck said they try to get the tree planters on site as quickly as possible after the cutting is done, that way trees can be planted before the natural brush takes over.

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

The day of my visit the tree planting crews were a ways off in the remote Sorcerer Creek area of the TFL. They already planted the block we were in, though they left a spot for us to fill in with the milestone tree, and a few others for good measure. Planters earned $0.22 per tree for this block, Dyck said, and they move up and down the blocks quickly to maximize their income in the short planting season. A strong worker will plant well over 1,000 trees per day. Mike, Kevin and I planted a few trees (without pay) and moved on. Dyck will return over the years to check on the site, see how the trees are doing and if the area needs brushing. Generally, about four trees are planted for every one that survives, and about 1,600 trees are planted per hectare. RCFC has cut about 1.1-million trees in its 20 years and planted about 10.5-million. Part of that is because of the survival rate, and part is because there was a silviculture backlog when RCFC purchased the TFL from Westar in 1993.

Cut blocks, from start to finish We left the cut block and drove further up the mountainside to a another block where the Ministry of Forests was conducting a longterm study on the effects of climate change on trees (that study will be explored next week, in part three of this series). On the way up, as we passed along a road rutted out with water bars, I asked Kevin Bollefer and Mike Copperthwaite to run me through the process of cutting down a stand of trees. Bollefer got himself a biology degree at the University of Victoria before entering forestry. In 1997 he wound up with a job doing cut block layout with Azimuth Forestry and Mapping in Revelstoke and started taking correspondence courses to become a Registered Professional Forester. He did contract work for

RCFC and ski run layout for Revelstoke Mountain Resort before being hired on as the operations manager with RCFC. The logging process begins with the Revelstoke Higher Level Plan, the legal document that sets out exactly what can and can’t be done on the land. Based on that plan, RCFC has mapped out exactly what can be cut inside the TFL, and they have also done an inventory of standing timber. “I’ve also walked and driven around enough areas that I’ve got a pretty good idea of what’s where,” Bollefer said. When laying out a series of cut blocks, he will try to group a few in one area. He will also chose areas both near and far from Highway 23 – that way harvesting costs, which are cheaper the closer you get to the highway, are balanced out. It also means they won’t use up all the easy-to-access timber now and be stuck with higher costs in the future. “Typically if you take a good block, you’re going to pay a very high stumpage, so it makes sense to balance that off by maybe not taking such a good block (too),” he said. They will also talk to industry partner Downie Timber to see what the market is demanding Once the blocks are chosen, First Nations will be notified for comment. Then, layout crews go in, figure out where the roads should go and how the timber should be harvested. They cruise the timber and measure out every tree, marking down the species, height, diametre and any issues with the tree. On steeper ground, an avalanche assessment might be conducted. Then the data is compiled. “That gives me a volume of timber in that block, and that’s where I put a number of different blocks together to create a permit.” said Bollefer. The permit then goes to the government, who will calculate the stumpage rate – the amount RCFC pays out for every tree. “Once we get it and they approve it and all the

mapping gets completed, we get our cutting permit and we’re good to go,” said Bollefer. The logging crews will then come in and cut down the trees, either with CATS, or using cable set-ups. Green Timber Contracting and Two Guy Logging, and Henderson Logging did the bulk of the falling in 2011– 12, according to the report for that year. The experimental cut block we were in was logged by Jim Scott of Two Guys Logging using his feller buncher. A bit later we would visit another area that Scott logged. After the trees are cut, they get brought down to the landing, where they are de-limbed and sorted depending on their destination. “Generally we know where some will go to,” Copperthwaite said. “Generally we try to figure out most of the stuff ahead of time and some stuff we bring in to our log sort yard.” Then, Brenda Dyck will move in and begin work to restore the block for the future, where it will be logged again in some 80–100 years. I was hoping to see some logging in action, but there was none going on during my visit.

Selective logging We drove lower down the mountain, to a spot where the forest thinned. “The forest seems more open here,” I noted. “That’s exactly where we’re taking you next,” replied Bollefer. He pulled the truck over and we started walking through a nice, open forest – the kind that would make for great tree skiing if it were a bit steeper. The remains of recently-cut trees were scattered about and morel mushrooms were emerging from the earth. Freshly-planted trees were sprouting under the canopy. “The concept here is just thinning the forest, trying to get more growth on fewer stems so that increases your piece size and typically increases your value,” said Bollefer. In even plainer terms, what RCFC did was

selectively thin an area of forest. The bigger trees were pulled out, allowing younger trees to keep growing, hopefully adding significant value in the future. Bollefer pointed to a small cedar tree. “It makes sense to leave those trees, to grow more wood on those trees faster, and come in 15 years time and harvest that tree as a 70-foot pole and we’ll almost triple our money,” he said. “It’s value over volume.” Before the logging was done, Bollefer walked the area, marking every tree he wanted cut. Jim Scott from Two Guys Logging was contracted to harvest the trees, and he mostly followed the plan.

We walked up and down through the area and Bollefer inspected the seedlings that were planted last fall. The tracks of the feller buncher were evident, but it still felt like a forest. Moreso than anywhere else, Bollefer and Copperthwaite spoke proudly of the work they did in this area. “You asked how community forests are somewhat different than others – this is a prime example of how we are doing something different,” said Copperthwaite, who came to RCFC after a lengthy career in the private forestry sector said. “This is looking at 20 years from now. There’s going to be more value here than if we logged it today. If you

were short-term thinking, you would have clear-cut this.” However, he noted, conditions have to be just right to do this kind of selective logging. For one, the area was relatively flat. It was also very wet, making for faster growth. It also had an abundance of cedar and spruce – trees that grow well in shady areas. You wouldn’t be able to do this if the ground were steeper, or if the forest was mostly fir.. “You would be impacting the growth of the fir,” said Copperthwaite. “It doesn’t grow under these shady conditions.” In 15–20 years, whoever is in running RCFC will be able to come

in and harvest the bigger trees out of the block. The process can continue every 15–20 years, as long as the people in charge see value in it.

Stumping and seeding The final stop of the tour looked like a disaster zone. The stumps of all the trees in the cut block were uprooted to expose them to the air and kill the Armillaria root rot that had infected them. The idea was that new seedlings wouldn’t get infected by the disease. We dropped off some maps for a contractor who was working at the top of the block. Brenda Dyck

was just pulling away as we turned around to park. She radioed back to us – a grizzly bear crossed the road near where we were going. When we got out, Bollefer and Copperthwaite strapped on their high-vis vests, with bear spray in the pockets. I had... my camera? We walked slowly amidst the stumps, branches and left-over trees. Here, instead of planting seedlings, crews had simply gone in and spread seeds about to encourage new growth. The overturned stumps create a natural seed bed for trees to go in, Bollefer explained.

were backlit, and there were these great distant blue hues of the mountains and all the myriad of colours of the grasses.” The five artists hiked into the lodge with their painting supplies. Each day, they would hike out to different spots and capture what they saw, said Vahala. “What we we do is start with trying to simplify what we would see,” she said. “Choosing a portion of the entire view, and simplifying into mass forms and shapes what we saw, and then interpreting with the colours each of us individually would express and

the feelings that we saw.” They debuted their work at the Rouge Gallery in Rossland in December. There will be 52 paintings on display at the Revelstoke show. “The styles go from a full carte type of look to very colourful expressionistic paintings,” said Vahala. Mount Carlyle opens at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre this Friday, June 14, at 6 p.m. Showing in the side galleries will be Ron Nixon’s Retrospectives and Sarah Windsor’s Spirals, Shapes and Elements of Nature. The show runs until July 5.

busy. There were stacks of fir, cedar and hemlock pulp logs that will eventually be brought to Shelter Bay for transportation to the Zelgoff Celgar pulp mill in Castlegar. This is where RCFC brings the logs that don’t go directly to customers. The logs are sorted by species, quality and size, and then they’re put on the market and sold. “It’s an interesting part of the job, knowing what things are worth, and who you can sell them to,” said Copperthwaite. A pulp log goes for about $40 per cubic-metre and a high-end cedar log will sell for more than $200 per cubicmetre, though prices, especially for cedar – RCFC’s money-tree – have decline substantially over the years. The average selling price for a log has fallen to $93.10 per cubic metre in 2011–12 compared to $130.44 in 2007–2008, though the price has gone up somewhat the past two years. RCFC’s operating costs are about $80 per cubic metre. Copperthwaite will advertise logs on RCFC’s website and will negotiate with customers on the value of a log. They used to auction them off, but when the economy slowed, some customers would try to low-ball on auction, hoping to get a steal, so they stopped doing that. *** By this point I was suffering from information overload. I had several hours of recordings that translated into 25 pages worth of notes.

is dry and rocky, so its easier to spread seeds than to have a tree-planting crew come and try to dig through the hard soil. “Those roots will get in between the rocks where it’s really hard to plant a plug,” said Bollefer. “Whether they survive long-term, we don’t know.” “It’s something we’re trying on this one little area,” said Copperthwaite. The seeding was done three weeks ago and members of the RCFC Board of Directors were invited up to take part. There was already signs of growth. We returned to the road through a patch of trees that was left standing. Copperthwaite pointed out some trees with low-lying branches. In an ideal world, those branches would be pruned, making for cleaner, highervalue trees. Even though they think long-term, no pruning is done because of the cost and the fact the return is too far off for it to make economic sense. They are hoping for government incentives that would make it more feasible to conduct pruning and other practices that could add long-term value. “Its costly and we don’t get enough recognition to do that,” said Copperthwaite.

Dr. Chris Parfiitt, nurses Atsuko Knight and Gina Klevorick, and Margart Zielonka of the Hospital Auxiliary, pose with the new arthroscopy tower at Queen Victoria Hospital. The $72,000 tower, which has been in place for about two weeks, replaces 17-year-old machine the hospital was using. It consists of a light source, a fibre-optics connection, a shaver, a high-definition TV screen and more. “It’s all the equipment in one tower needed to do arthroscopy on joints. The most common one is the knee,” said Dr. Parfitt. “It also gives you high-definition pictures as a record of the operation, which is really nice because the old one didn’t do that.” The hospital conducts about 125 arthroscopies every year, mostly on knees, said Dr. Parfitt. $50,000 of the cost of the tower came from the Hospital Auxiliary.

U16 soccer team ends season with tie against Vernon Contributed by the Revelstoke Youth Soccer Association

The Revelstoke Arrow Helicopters U16 boys soccer team finished their season with two games last weekend. Saturday they travelled to Kamloops and lost 3-1. Kamloops got off to a quick 2-0 lead but Revelstoke battled back making it a close game on a goal by Rhys Evans and some better defensive play. Sunday saw Vernon come to Revelstoke and resulted in the same score as the last time these two teams played. Revelstoke’s ball movement was much better this game and after many chances took the lead on a goal by Charlie Sykes. Vernon eventually went up 2-1 but

Revelstoke never quit and eventually tied the game on a goal by Chase Bafaro. The team made up of Gordon Mason, Isaac Callaghan, Nick Saar, Jacob Friesen, Joseph Harper, Chase Bafaro, Tashi Townley, Rhys Evans, Donovan Miskiman, Timo Holtappels, Wyatt Callaghan, Jack Callaghan, Austin Carter, Gabriel Laidlaw, Adam Smith, Charlie Sykes, Daniel Blackie, Callum Hicks, and Eric Poarch want to give coach Rob Evans a huge thank you for a great season and farewell to Timo who visited us from Germany and was a huge asset to the team. The team will wind up the year Saturday watching the Vancouver Whitecaps game and then have the summer off before getting ready for

the Little Bear tournament in September.

U12 boys go 1–1 in home jamboree The U12 Boys development team hosted its only in-town jamboree on Sunday, June 9. Teams from Penticton, Kelowna, Vernon, Kamloops and Salmon Arm converged on Centennial Park. Our boys came out strong in their first game and bested a skilled Kamloops team 4-2. Regular goalie John Echlin had to play out due to an injury and did well, scoring twice, with one being a beautiful header off a great cross from William MacDonald. Harrison Fenwick, Ben MacDonald and Spencer

Spannier stepped up to fill the net in John’s absence. The second game against a second Kamloops team swung the other way with luck not being on our side. Cam MacKenzie had some great runs but despite clawing back within one goal twice things did not go the boys way. Despite the 6-2 loss the boys had smiles on their faces for their team picture after the jamboree was over. The U12 team attends its last jamboree next weekend in Penticton. The team would like to recognize the hard work of the Revelstoke Youth Soccer Association and especially the rep liaison Alex Farrugia, who works tirelessly to give our boys an opportunity most communities our size do not have.

Big Bear this weekend

The Revelstoke Men’s Soccer Team is hosting the Big Bear adult soccer tournament this weekend, June 15–16. The 22nd annual edition will feature 15 men’s and six women’s teams from throughout B.C. and Alberta.

There will be a beer garden in QE Park, where TV’s will show NHL playoffs. Revelstoke will be represented by men’s and women’s teams. Visit www.revelstokemenssoccer.com for more information.

Aquaducks finish third at first summer swim meet Eliza McGuire

Revelstoke Aquaducks

The Revelstoke Aquaducks officially opened their 2013 summer season this past weekend in Salmon Arm with a third-place team finish. Notable finishes were Hunter Stewardson, who won the girls division two third aggregate; Tye Hoshizaki, who won the boys division two second aggregate; Bryce Molder, who won first aggregate for division five boys; Gina Cinelli, who won the girls division six second aggregate; Josh Rota, who won the third aggregate for division six boys;

and Emily Pfeiffer, who won the first aggregate for division seven girls. James Lebuke picked up not only the second aggregate for division three boys, but also broke the club record in the 50 metre backstroke, previously held by Josh Rota, in his first competition as a division three athlete. When looking at the results as the meet progressed, head coach Jeff Beatty noted how the swimmers who were swimming particularly well and finishing out their races with power were those who had the best attendance. This was also noticed by many of the swimmers who in turn

promised to make more of the weekly workouts. Many swimmers finished races and were quick to excitedly proclaim that even though they just want a personal best, they knew there was more to be had and were excited to get in the pool on Monday afternoon to begin preparation for the meet this coming weekend to take place in Lumby. However the Salmon Arm meet was a success on more than one level, as new swimmers to the club Zach and Samantha Veninsky competed in their first ever swim meet, with smiles at the end of the pool.

RCA double-header brings out racers Tim Auger

Revelstoke Cycling Association

The second Revelstoke Cycling Association cross-country race, presented by Arrow Helicopters, challenged 40 riders to complete as many four-kilometre laps as they could in only 90 minutes. The top men managed six laps, with Brendan MacIntosh taking the win while Marty Schaffer rolled into second place just ahead of Lee English. The top three women all completed five laps but third place finisher Emily Unterberger narrowly missed the 90 minute deadline so only four laps were counted. Mel Bernier held onto her lead with Carol Prince finishing close behind. Thanks to the volunteers and to

Skookum Cycle for the draw prizes. The first RCA downhill race of the season was sponsored by Flowt Bikes and saw almost 30 riders trying to stay on their bikes as they slipped and slid down the wet roots and rocks of Mt. Macpherson’s TNT trail. Riders were required to remove their chains for the race which encouraged them to stay off their brakes and embrace gravity. Theresa McGeragle took the top spot in the women’s category over challengers Kelsey Furk and Amanda MacIntosh. A visitor to town, Dave Harder, took the win in the men’s category just ahead of last year’s winner Marty Schaffer. Third place was narrowly secured by Nathan Jecks. Thanks to all the volunteers and to Transition Bikes for prizes.

Thurston November 22, 2001 - May 29, 2013

Thurston, our dear yellow lab, passed away with his best friends by his side. He will be missed on our hikes in the mountains alongside his canine friends and on our walks around the hill with Luther. Thurston made many friends and accepted all who came along on his adventures. Thanks go out to Janice and Rose and the staff at the Revelstoke Veterinary Clinic for all the care Thurston received in the past. Thanks also to all who looked after Thurston when we couldn’t. Cathy & Roman, Jennifer and Jesse.
