Bentley over the Big Eddy Members of the Bentley Drivers Club take their 1928 4.5 litre Bentley for a drive over the 1915 Big Eddy Bridge. They were part of a group of about 30 vehicles taking part in the club’s annual drive. This year, they were going from Los Angeles to Jasper National Park, then back down to Vancouver, where it will be shipped back to the United Kingdom. Earlier, the cars – some of which are worth more than $1 million – were parked all over downtown where the drivers stopped for lunch.

Meeting lays out challenges of preserving Mountain View Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
The consensus is there. Everyone wants to preserve the historic Mountain View school building. The questions: how will that happen, and who’s going to pay for it? “This is our last chance to preserve a heritage school in Revelstoke because the others are all gone,” said Mike Dragani, the chair of the City of Revelstoke’s heritage committee at one point during a two-hour long meeting on June 11 that was arranged to discuss the future of the school building and the Mountain View site. The meeting was attended by
almost 20 people, including school district staff, members of the Board of Education, City of Revelstoke staff, Mayor David Raven, members of the city’s heritage committee, and a few interested citizens. It was chaired by Donald Luxton, the consultant hired to look after the preservation of the school. “I think we all recognize it’s historical value but with all these types of issues – and I deal with this all the time – the problem is that in itself doesn’t preserve a building, knowing that it has value,” said Luxton in his leadoff remarks. “We have to find ways to preserve it, to pay for it, to physically conserve it,
to use it.” Luxton ran down the situation as it stood. He presented a series of slides showing what the school looked like when it was first built, and what it looks like now. He also showed a site layout, where some right-of-ways ran through the property, and where the sewer (the school is built right over a sewer pipe), water and electrical lines went. And he talked about the state of the school itself – the fact the back of the building would have to be re-built, windows replaced and mechanical issues addressed. “These are things that will con-
tribute to the cost of rehabilitation that need to be considered as we move forward,” he said. Luxton presented a rough plan that would turn most of the site into residential lots, with some park space on Third Street and the historic school preserved. “It’s a scheme that puts residential on the site to pay for retention of the school but also balance off the provision of open space,” he said. Amy Flexman kickstarted the discussion on what to do with the building and the site when she stood up and presented her vision for what she called an outdoor dis-
covery centre. Her plan included an amphitheatre for performances, an indoor climbing space, and a community garden and greenhouse. The historic school building would be turned into a mix of classroom space, art studios and communal office space. The east end of the property would have a residence built on it that could be rented out to visiting groups. Her idea was the centre would be used as a retreat for businesses, schools and other organizations. “Having a centre like this would draw in people from Kelowna or

A cell phone is a handy device to have when out in the back country, if there’s cell coverage available. A Revelstoke mountain biker will confirm that. The man in his 20s was with three other friends mountain biking on the Enderby Cliffs Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. when he hit a tree stump and suffered a serious puncture wound to his leg. The group had two cell phones with them. One of the phones’ battery died, but thanks to the other being charged, they were able to phone for help. “We got the call from B.C. Ambulance asking us to respond and retrieve the guy,” said Leigh Pearson with Vernon Search and Rescue. As the injured biker was near the top of the cliffs, search and rescue looked at three options of getting to the man. They could hike up the trail, which would have resulted in a long, time-consuming jaunt
back down with the injured cyclist. They could get to the man via the back of the mountain using ATVs, but that, too, would have taken considerable time. So search and rescue called in a helicopter, specifically a machine from Kelowna-based Valhalla Helicopters, on a recommendation from Vernon helicopter companies whose machines were all out on business calls. “We had to carry the injured cyclist about 100 metres to where the helicopter could land and loaded him on,” said Pearson. “His friends did a good job of stabilizing the injury until we got there. The helicopter landed at the bottom of the mountain, at the parking lot for the trail, and the ambulance was waiting there. “The helicopter guy did a tremendous job for us. It was very slick. It didn’t take much time from the time we got to him.” The mountain biker was

taken to the hospital in Salmon Arm where he was treated for his injury. He has since returned to Revelstoke, where he is recovering at home. Pearson highly recommends anybody going out into the back country to take their cell phone, but make sure it has a good battery that is fully charged. And be aware that once you get out of the valley bottom, cell coverage disappears quickly.
“These guys were fortunate that there was a cell tower fairly close by so they had decent coverage,” said Pearson, adding that areas such as east of Lumby on Highway 6 have virtually no cell phone coverage. “People don’t realize that,” he said. “They take it for granted that cell phone coverage is everywhere when it isn’t.” With files from Alex Cooper/ Revelstoke Times Review

The CP Rail line through Yoho National Park reopened Thursday morning after a train derailment near the famous spiral tunnels Wednesday afternoon. Kevin Hrysak, a spokesperson for CP Rail, said that on June 12 at around 2 p.m. five cars on a westbound train derailed outside the western portal of the upper spiral tunnel. He said all five cars were empty and there were "no injuries, no environmental or public safety concerns and no regulated commodities were involved." Parks Canada spokesperson Omar McDadi said Parks was not involved with the cleanup and it had "no major environmental or visitor safety concerns." A spokesperson for the Transportation Safety Board said they were informed of the derailment but would not be conducting an investigation. CP Rail re-routed its trains south while crews

A Revelstoke riding instructor’s horse is recovering from wounds after two huskies chased and bit it on the Columbia River flats last week. Traci Ludwig was giving a lesson to a young rider on the flats south of the Illecillewaet River when the two dogs appeared out of the long grass and chased the two horses. Ludwig said her young student did well to hang on when her horse bolted. “It showed how well she is riding. She stayed on at a dead gallop,” she said, noting the danger of the situation. The horse suffered three bite marks on its rump. It also kicked
and seriously injured one of the dogs. The dogs’ owner, a young man, eventually caught up to the scene and leashed the dogs, but not until after the damage had been done. Ludwig asked dog owners to be careful. “They should respect horses around there,” she said. The flats south of the footbridge across the Illecillewaet River is designated off-leash for dogs. However, Ludwig warns dog owners that they can be unpredictable around horses and prone to unexpected prey drive and pack behaviour. Ludwig said the area is used more heavily since the Illecillewaet footbridge was installed last year. She was unaware of any signage

City of Revelstoke silent on ‘$14-million’ lawsuit settlement City, developer won’t disclose their deal over resort-area development-agreement-gone-wrong lawsuit AARON ORLANDO
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
The City of Revelstoke is not disclosing to taxpayers the details of a recent settlement between the city and a property development company that, when it filed its lawsuit, claimed it could cost the city up to $14 million. The recent settlement was not announced by city officials; when asked last week, Mayor David Raven referred questions to city staff. Back in September of 2011, the Selkirk Land and Cattle Corporation (SLCC) filed suit in the Supreme Court of B.C., alleging that the City of Revelstoke had damaged the company’s 106-acre parcel of development land located upslope of Camozzi Road in Arrow Heights. The developer planned to subdivide the property into 40 large lots, which would be developed with nearby Revelstoke Mountain Resort in mind.
The lawsuit said the city and SLCC had an agreement that allowed the municipality to access the property to build a road and a water reservoir. The road would then be extended by the developer into the planned development. The SLCC filing said the city never lived up to the agreement to build a proper road and built a dirt one instead. It said this damaged the property and didn’t fulfill many aspects of the agreement. SLCC said the city failed to complete road-building and surveying that would assist SLCC with its development plans. The working agreement had fallen apart by 2005 and work halted. In addition, SLCC said city plans to change the property’s designation through revisions to City of Revelstoke planning documents threw a wrench in their subdivision plan. When it was filed in 2011, the Selkirk Land and Cattle Corporation’s lawyers, Kelowna-based Farris, Vaughan, Wills & Murphy LLP, complained of the city’s actions
in a media release. “The city has never expressed thanks to Selkirk. The city has never paid a dime for access or rights,” they wrote in the media release. “Selkirk is left with scarred lands and sloughing issues which the city ignores while using the road regularly to maintain the reservoir.” The City of Revelstoke filed a response to the lawsuit in May, 2012, refuting or disputing many claims made in the statement of claim. The city claimed: — they had an agreement with SLCC, but it went sour after SLCC representatives ordered them to stop ongoing work and get off SLCC property; — the city didn’t start construction of the road without notifying SLCC; — SLCC was underplaying the fact the road to the reservoir would benefit their development plans; — that the city was proceeding with plans to survey the SLCC property as outlined in the contract when SLCC representatives ordered them
to stop; — city staff didn’t trespass on SLCC property; — they are not responsible for any possible slope stability issues because the plaintiff didn’t allow ongoing road work to be completed; — that although the road and reservoir aren’t exactly where they were drawn in a “sketch” plan, some deviation from a sketch plan is reasonable because the drawing is a loose representation of land not yet properly surveyed; — that the deviation from the sketch plan is minor and doesn’t greatly impact the development; — that the agreement allowed the city to go forward with the road and the reservoir. We reached Selkirk Land and Cattle Corporation representative Robert Powadiuk by telephone in Ontario. He told the Times Review that an agreement had been reached with the City of Revelstoke, but it contained a confidentiality clause that prevented him from speaking about it. Powadiuk was part of the development group that launched Revelstoke Mountain Resort. He also
retains a small private stake in the resort, he said, but is not part of the management group. City of Revelstoke CAO Tim Palmer confirmed the two parties have reached “a mutually agreeable solution” to the situation “and look forward to working together in the future.” What’s the agreement going to cost city taxpayers? The City of Revelstoke is not prepared to say. “As with most court settlements, speaking about details in not appropriate and we wish to respect the settlement process and all those involved,” Palmer said in a statement. “The city is content with the resolution we have reached and has no further comment.” Court records show the case was scheduled for trial at the Kelowna Law Courts for June 3, but the trial was cancelled before it reached court. Although a trial would have likely resulted in public disclosure of the results, the private agreement between the two parties makes discovering the details of the deal – and its cost to taxpayers – much more difficult.
City fleshes out restructuring plan roles, staff changes AARON ORLANDO
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
The City of Revelstoke has provided more information on the internal restructuring plan announced on June 5. At city council’s June 11 meeting, chief administrative officer Tim Palmer outlined additional details of the restructuring plan. The City plans to scale back the bylaw enforcement services provided by contractor Commissionaires, including reduced parking and animal control services. Palmer said the city planned to be “more strategic on parking” enforcement. The details of the reduced animal control contract with Commissionaires will be negotiated in the coming months and will take effect in the late fall.
Several services will be trimmed back. The plan calls for savings in the public works department, but only a few details were provided. Palmer said that street sweeping will be reduced, although spring road clearing will remain because it is needed to prevent road sand clogging the sewers. The framework also names planned reductions to parks services, but when questioned, city administrators didn’t yet have details on which services. The city will end a $500 business sign subsidy program. At city hall, about three staff positions will be eliminated. City administrators provided ‘before and after’ organization charts. The new chart has 18 positions, while the old one had 21 (factoring in one ‘dual-role’ position).

RSS ranked in top-10 public schools in B.C. Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Revelstoke Secondary School is ranked 34th out of 284 schools in the Fraser Institute’s rating of 284 B.C. high schools. The always-controversial report from the right-wing think tank was released Monday, June 17. The top of the list is dominated by private schools. RSS is tied for eighth place amongst
public schools in the province. Alan Chell, the chair of the Revelstoke Board of Education, said he wouldn’t focus specifically on the ranking. “We’re very proud of our high school and what we do with any type of data we that receive is we look at it and we say, does this give us any information we can use to make our school and any programs better,” he said. “In terms of how
we compare with other schools, I think most people involved in education would say the Fraser Institute gives you a bit of a picture and draws some comparisons, but its not something we look to as providing the information we need.” The report is often criticized as not providing a balanced look at schools and for being skewed to favour private schools.
Mountain View upgrades could cost $2–3M from page 1 Vancouver to Revelstoke,” she said. They can do everything here and learn. “How it makes money is where you guys come into play. I’m just presenting this vision.” There were several other ideas thrown about. One was selling the Farwell school playing field and turning that into residential lots. That would allow the school district more leeway to preserve the Mountain View site for public use. Glen O’Reilly proposed using the west half of the site for small, 33-foot lots, and keeping the east side for public use, with park space in between. The smaller lots would make for higher-density housing, smaller homes and more lots. The consensus was a strong desire to preserve some public use of the space and maintain the heritage building. Most people were open to how that happens but slowly the conversation delved into the money issue. Notably, the school district is expected to make $2.4 million from the sale of its surplus sites. It has already knocked down the old Big Eddy
school and is sub-dividing the site into seven lots. Once Mountain View is dealt with, it will work on disposing the Mount Begbie Elementary site. The challenge with Mountain View comes with the sheer cost of upgrading the building, which was pegged at anywhere from $2–3 million. That essentially makes the building a liability for any developer willing to take it over. “When you throw the number out there – good luck,” said Gabe Taylor. “You can see the magnitude of the problem,” responded Luxton. And therein lies the dilemma – finding someone with deep enough pockets to take on that cost. It could mean simply giving it away, along with some neighbouring land, to someone willing to take it on. It would also cost money to service any residential lots. “If you want to preserve the building you have to take the land cost out of the equation for the heritage piece,” said Luxton. “That has to be spread over the rest of the site to make it work. In Vancouver we’d just put a tower over the site and get more density
to pay for it. That situation doesn’t apply here.” Mike Thomas, the city’s director of engineering, questioned the economics of developing the site while preserving the building. “How many lots do you need to cover the cost of the $3 million to renovate this building?” he asked. “I don’t see an economic argument here. That can’t be the only source of revenue on this. It’s not going to add up, as far as I can see.” School board chair Alan Chell said the Ministry of Education might accept less than $2.4 million if the district laid out an acceptable plan, but that the district could not be involved in any future developments on the site. “Our focus is K-12 education.” Another meeting is planned for later this summer. Anne Cooper, the associate superintendent of the school district, said they will begin to figure out the rough cost of preserving the school, the value of the site and come up with some land use concepts. “Then do all the numbers, what we could sell and do the business case around a variety of different scenarios,” she said.
He added the new manager of development services position will help him carry out his new planning duties. What is Revelstoke’s future? Are we going to bump along at around 7,500 residents? Or will we experience rapid population growth? This question has been central to our planning debate for the past five or 10 years (those arguing the former are winning, by the way). What is Thomas planning for? “We’re in the middle of some tough times [macro-economically],” he said. In essence, Thomas said he believes Revelstoke’s development and its infrastructure development are at the whim of the global economy. A boom in real estate development can lead to revenues to the city through development cost charges, but that boom is dependent on the wider economy improving.
Nevertheless, Revelstoke is faced with aging infrastructure problems that resort development won’t solve. “We can’t rely on new development to replace our existing infrastructure problems,” he said. “The city will have a lot in its plate in terms of infrastructure.” Again, he points to longterm infrastructure planning and building reserve funds to meet the challenge. Of course, hugeticket items, like the proposed new sewer outfall, will require funding from other levels of government. Thomas is a proficient social media user.

Habitat pilot project moves past approvals Contributed by HOME FOR THE HUNTS
The project plans for the Habitat for Humanity – Revelstoke Community Housing Society pilot project to renovate a Home for the Hunts has been approved by the partners and now moves into the construction phase. “We are absolutely thrilled to have met the requirements of both Habitat for Humanity Kelowna and the Community Housing Society and to get on with the excitement of building in July,” said Cindy Pearce from the project team. “A huge thank you to our project team, to everyone who made financial donations, to all the businesses who have committed trades and materials and to all the volunteers who have signed up to help out – you’ve made this happen.” Through a memorandum of understanding with the Revelstoke Community Housing Society, the Kelowna affiliate of Habitat for Humanity will help with a renovation of Pauline and Simon Hunt’s home to create an accessible, supportive space for their family, which includes two young daughters, as they all learn to live with Pauline’s diagnosis of ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease. Lou Gehrig’s disease is a debilitating illness that eventually requires wheelchair accessibility and costly patient care in the later stages. Patients with ALS become progressively paralyzed due to degeneration of the upper and lower motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. A team of co-workers and friends have come together to make this happen for the family and the community. They have raised all but about $12,000 of the $200,000 goal in just six months – and are hoping to receive an elevator through a supplier’s ‘Giving Back’ program. The family is making a significant contribution to the project through $60,000 that was raised from family and friends; through

They have clearly contracted what is known as ‘Habitatitis’ and I expect they will soon be infecting many others in the community.” The Housing Society is sponsoring this pilot to showcase Habitat’s programs to the community and measure the interest in and fit of these programs in Revelstoke. “The Housing Society knows the community will embrace Habitat for Humanity and support this pilot project,” said Mark McKee, Chairman of the Revelstoke Community Housing Society Board. “We look forward to working with the project team, Habitat for Humanity Kelowna and many community supporters to make this a successful project.” A community celebration of the start of

The future of RCFC
F eat u r e
www.revelstoketimesreview.com
As the Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation turns 20, it looks towards the challenges of the future, including climate change, the economy and worker shortages Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
High up the Key Forest Service Road, a cut block is dotted with pink flags. The flags mark all the trees planted on a block planted by the Kalamalka Forest Research Station for a study they are conducting on the impact of climate change on forestry. There are a number of species planted on the cut block – some of which are native to the area, others that are from elsewhere in B.C. The aim is to see how different trees will grow as the climate changes. The impacts of climate change presents big challenges for forestry companies. Generally, it is expected it to be warmer, wetter in the fall, winter and spring, but much drier in the summer. Wildfires are expected to increase substantially. A report on climate change by the Columbia Basin Trust outlines some of the challenges: —Changes in forest composition as climate change impacts where different species of trees will survive. — Increased frequency of wildfires will lead to loss of timber stands. — Increase in invasive species and pest outbreaks. — Shorter winter logging seasons, but longer summer logging seasons. — Logging roads could be impacted by an increase in landslides and flooding in extreme rain events. “Some of these climate change impacts may require adjustments in short- and long-term timber supply, which could impact the local forestry sector, with implications for dependent communities,” the report states. The research plot on the Key Forest Service Road is located at an elevation of around 1,500 metres. 15 commercial tree species from across B.C. are planted on the site, Greg O’Neill, a researcher with the
B.C. Ministry of Forests, told me later in a phone interview. It’s part of a large study taking place from central California to Alaska. “Our objective is to grow the trees across a wide range of climates, including climates where they might not be well adapted,” he said. “The purpose is essentially to tie down these responses. When we try to relate the test site climate to the performance for each seed source we need to push them to the limit, we need to beat them up, in order to figure out where they don’t do well. I walked through the block with Mike Copperthwaite and Kevin Bollefer or RCFC and silviculture consultant Brenda Dyck. Each tree was flagged, and the species were marked on a nearby signpost; there is a weather station high up on the cut block. “They can monitor this over time,” said Copperthwaite. “It’s pretty elaborate.” The site was planted in 2011 and will be re-visited in 2015 to see how the trees are growing. They will be measured, tested for insects and disease, and for form. “We hope not only will we find out where the trees grow best but we will also find out where they are healthiest,” said O’Neill. One of the key problems is that the climate is changing faster than trees can adapt, so species that survive in one area now might not survive there later. However, other species might thrive in that spot in the future. “Basically what they’re saying is diversify,” said Bollefer. “Don’t do the same thing everywhere. Encourage resilience, and things like that.” The timelines in forestry span decades – it generally takes 80–100 years before a cut block can be harvested again. According to a report by the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium, by 2080, the mean annual temperature is expected to increase by anywhere from 1.8 C to 4.4 C. “What we do today, in 20 years

you probably might not have wanted to do that,” Copperthwaite said. “But you have to go with what’s going today, and diversification, and hopefully as it goes down the road it still works.” As we walked up the cut block, Bollefer pointed out a few of the sign posts. One was marked for trembling aspen. Another had DFC marked on it, for Douglas Fir Coastal. “This is a high elevation band for fir, but with climate change the thought is everything will move up the hillside a few hundred metres,” he said. While fir is more susceptible to frost, it is possible that as temperatures warm up, those fir trees will thrive. “The problem is we have to get these trees to survive these first few years,” he added. “Someone in the future will ask who was the brilliant forester who decided to plant Douglas fir up here.” On a positive note, climate change is expected to benefit cedar, which is RCFC’s highest-value species.
eral years of losses. “We’ve done a really good job at controlling our costs and making sure we’re as efficient as possible,” said general manager Mike Copperthwaite. “Where we’re not seeing the difference is the selling price of logs these days.” Log prices are well below where they were five years ago, but they have increased slightly the past two years. The continued housing slump in the United States is the biggest factor, and its recovery has been slower in coming than expected. However, Copperthwaite expects to pick up around 2016, when the provinces timber cut will decline due to the impacts of the mountain pine beetle. RCFC hasn’t had to deal with mountain pine beetle directly The province has allowed for a big increase in logging to deal with the outbreak, but that will mean a reduction in cuts in the future to make up for it. “We haven’t had the prices that we probably would have if there hadn’t been so much volume available,” said Copperthwaite, adding that the downward trend in the market has also pushed down the price of cedar. “We live and die by cedar here,” he said. “When cedar prices are good, we’re going to do well.

cedar prices aren’t good, we don’t do well.” For RCFC, where mountain pine beetle hasn’t been an issue, a trickle down effect might be seen when the cuts come down elsewhere, thereby decreasing timber supply across the province and raising prices overall. “I think things are improving,” Copperthwaite said. “The so-called super-cycle keeps getting pushed back a little bit but I think it is coming.” The super-cycle he’s referring to is a boom in lumber prices that is expected to occur when the U.S. housing market recovers and combines with increased demand for B.C. timber products in Asia. “In the next few years you’re going to see some drastic cut reductions in some of the Interior,” said Copperthwaite. “There’s going to be limited supply and more global demand.” *** A few years ago a large chunk of RCFC’s Tree Farm License was set aside as caribou habitat, meaning it can’t be logged. Because of that, the annual allowable cut was reduced to 90,000 cubic-metres, from 100,000 cubic-metres. RCFC was hoping to get compensation for the reduced cut, but so far that

Film explores why wild salmon are dying out ALEX COOPER
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
In 2009, the Fraser River sockeye salmon run collapsed. Only about 1.7 million fish made their way up river – about 10 million less than expected. The following year, the run was the biggest in nearly 100 years when about 34 million fish swam up the river to their spawning grounds. Still, the 2009 results followed a long trend of declining sockeye returns and they spawned a federal commission into what was happening. Alexandra Morton, a biologist, is one person who has the answer, and her solution – controlling fish farms – is the subject of the documentary Salmon Confidential that was shown in Revelstoke on June 12. The screening was hosted by Giles Shearing, a local biologist who was supposed to help Morton with her research by collecting salmon samples from the Shuswap River last summer. “We didn’t do it, because there were no salmon,” Shearing said. He provided an introduction on what salmon are and what sorts of pressure they face, from climate change to predation to forestry to bad breeding grounds. “It’s easy to vilify, but I think it’s better to look at the complexity of the issue,” he said. In Salmon Confidential, which was directed by Twyla Roscovich, Morton takes on the salmon farming industry. In the film, she claims that fish from salmon farms along the B.C. coast are spreading disease to wild salmon. “This is the problem,” she says early on in the film. “This farm is pouring out diseases and pathogens that infect the fish as they swim by.” Morton looks at the spread of infectious salmon anemia (ISA) virus, which wiped out salmon farms in Chile. It shows Morton going around examining dozens of dead fish, showing varying states of disease. We see fish that died before spawning, their bellies filled with eggs. She goes around to supermarkets buying farmed salmon, and she collects samples at sushi restaurants. She sends test samples off to several labs, which return positive results for finding the ISA virus. She also shows fish she says are infected by piscine reovirus, which can lead to weak hearts that prevent the salmon from reaching their spawning grounds. The film looks at the muzzling of Canadian government scientists who
were researching the decline of salmon stocks. It accuses the Canadian Food Inspection Agency of not reporting findings of ISA in order to protect the salmon farming industry. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) is also accused of protecting the industry at the expense of wild salmon. It is mandated both to protect wild salmon and to promote the fish farm industry, Morton notes. She ends the film by calling for the creation of the “Department of Wild Salmon,” an alliance of groups connected to the wild salmon industry. The film has been criticized for selectively editing people’s interviews and misrepresenting scientific information. Gary Marty, the fish pathologist for the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, has been highly critical of the film, including his own portrayal. An anonymous blog, using the domain salmonconfidential. com, was set up to counter the documentary. Morton, for her part, has responded to her critics on her own website, alexandramorton.typepad.com. The Cohen Commission that looked into the 2009 collapse of the Fraser River salmon run, concluded that there were numerous factors at stake, including contaminants in the Fraser River, development along water shores, and climate change. Justice Bruce Cohen, who led the commission, wrote that salmon farms were not having a significant negative impact on Fraser River sockeye numbers. The report made 75 recommendations, which have yet to be adopted. After the screening, Morton joined us over Skype for a Q&A. She encouraged those in attendance to write to the government to express their concern. She provided an update on her battle against the salmon farming industry, saying she had filed a lawsuit against Marine Harvest and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for allowing the introduction of piscine reovirus into wild salmon. “If the people of B.C. really want wild salmon, they’re going to have to speak up,” she said, adding that management of the fish farm industry is a federal matter, though the B.C. government has a role by issuing water licenses to the farms. Mostly, Morton seemed bewildered at the lack of government action on the issue, and exhausted from her fight. “I have completely given up on DFO,” she said. “If we wait for them to respond, we won’t have any wild fish left.” You can watch Salmon Confidential online at salmonconfidential.ca.

RCFC faces future challenges
hasn’t been coming. Of the annual cut, B.C. Timber Sales manages 12,000 cubic-metres, meaning RCFC can cut 78,000 cubic-metres of timber every year. Recovering part of that lost cut has been an issue for RCFC, and they have mentioned taking over the demonstration forest on Mt. Macpherson. It would also give them a location closer to Revelstoke where the community would be able to see their work close up. “It’s hard to get people up here,” said Copperthwaite. “We are a little bit removed from the community.

If you were in and around the Revelstoke area, so many people use it already for biking and hiking.” Another long-standing issue is gaining recognition for the high costs of logging in the Revelstoke area. Revelstoke falls under the Interior stumpage system, meaning rates are higher than in the similarly mountainous coastal area. “Everything’s just a little bit more expensive here,” said Cop-

Pros at the track
Eric Jeffery, a professional motocross racer, launches over the big tabletop at the Revy Riders dirt bike track on Westside Road last week. Jeffery was in town with his Redemption Racing team getting some practice laps in between races in Kamloops and Calgary and he had some good praise for the local facilities. “It’s a little bit rocky but the layout is really good,” he said of the track, adding that while it’s not quite long enough for professional standards, it did have good roughness and would be good for other levels. When I caught up with him, he was actually zipping around the new enduro cross track. “The cool thing we see is you have motocross, enduro and trails right here,” said team manager Josh Snider. “You have everything you want, and all three are really good.” Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review
Family Fishing Day 2013
A hot, sunny Father’s Day attracted a big crowd to the Revelstoke Rod ‘n’ Gun Club’s annual Family Fishing Day at Williamson’s Lake. Fishers of all ages competed for the freshly stocked trout by casting from shore, the dock and a few small boats. Club spokesperson Gail Ferguson said the event drew the biggest crowd in recent memory, due to the weather and the fact the lake was recently designated as a stocking lake. About 500 trout are introduced to the lake annually, in addition to about 150 larger Gerrard rainbow trout. Right: Daryin and Justus Cameron brought some big trout back after an excursion around the lake in a row boat. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

The North Columbia Environmental Society is excited to announce that it will be reviving the popular Junior Naturalists Program this summer. NCES is very grateful for the support from Parks Canada and funding from the TD Friends of the Environment Fund, as well as supplies and files handed-over by the Friends of Mount Revelstoke and Glacier before they ceased operations. The NCES has hired contractor Matt Kieller to deliver the program over the summer. Kieller has an honours degree in geography and has extensive experience running programs for youth and children in the outdoors, including instructing the all mountain program through the Revelstoke Ski Club and leading junior mountain bike rides through Skookum Cycle and Ski. The Junior Naturalists program has been very popular over the past five years, and the NCES is happy to have the opportunity to ensure that it continues to connect children to nature in our local ecosystems. The program will run for five weeks in July and three weeks in August on weekday mornings from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The program will cost $5 per child. It is open to children ages 5–10. Preschoolers may attend with older siblings if accompanied by a parent. The program topics have

Williams Lake takes Big Bear
Team wins fifth straight tournament title in Revelstoke ALEX COOPER
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Williams Lake dynasty continued at the Big Bear tournament, with the men’s team winning their fifth straight Big Bear tournament, defeating Vernon 1-0 in the finals on Sunday. On the women’s side, a combined team from Williams Lake and Kamloops took the victory. The tournament kicked off Friday evening with Revelstoke FC thumping Calgary’s CWSC 5-1 in Queen Elizabeth Park. The action took off in earnest on Saturday, with 20 teams playing on four fields – including the two new fields behind Revelstoke Secondary School. Blustery weather Saturday morning eventually turned to sun for the rest of the weekend. The beer gardens an the stands in Queen Elizabeth Park slowly filled up as the day progressed. Revelstoke FC followed up Friday’s win with an exciting 3-2 victory over Vic Van Nelson Saturday afternoon to secure a spot in the semi-finals. In the semis, Revelstoke fell to Vernon. Williams Lake won the other semi-final over Courvas, setting the stage for the final Sunday at noon. In a closely fought match, Wil-

stalwarts Rylan Bokis and Ray Speerbrecker Kelowna went up by two. We came close with William MacDonald and Callum Gribbon pressing hard. A brilliant header by John Echlin put us back within one. A last minute goal went the other way and we lost 5-3 but with smiles and laughs as the boys truly developed this year. The day ended with the boys all getting together and calling Happy Fathers Day to their families in the stands. Head coach Chris MacDonald wishes to thank Eric Scarcella and Lachlan Hicks for all their contributions as well as manager Alex Farrugia. *** The Revelstoke U11 boys soccer team finished their season on a high note with a jamboree in Salmon Arm. The first game saw the boys defeat Kamloops 2-0 on goals by Simon Blackie and Caleb Guenther. The defence played a very strong game and was anchored with the play of centre back Jackson Litke and goalie David Kline
picked up a well deserved shutout. The second game saw Revelstoke defeat the Shuswap 5-1 with two goals each by Grady Powell and Tyler Jamieson and a single tally by Caleb Guenther. The players will participate in the youth soccer windup on June 22nd with several joining with the U12 team for an exhibition game with Nakusp in the afternoon. The team is also planning to enter the annual Little Bear tournament in September. Coach Alan Chell credited the boys for their play this season. The whole purpose of the TOYSA development league is to give youth the opportunity to experience games with other communities and develop their skills and enjoyment of soccer. Coach Chell stated that every one of the players has definitely shown increased development of skills and understanding of the game over the course of the season and looks forward to the continued growth of youth soccer in Revelstoke.

Stuart Smith wins first stage of RCA road series Aaron Orlando
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
Stuart Smith edged out Don Robertson and Rich Hamilton at the finish line of the first 2013 Revelstoke Cycling Association road race on June 11. The race is the first of a three-part road series hosted by the RCA this season. The approximately 40-kilometre, two-lap course from the Revelstoke Airport to the end of Airport Way started out under a warm, overcast sky. A strong, gusty, southbound wind soon picked up, slowing the northward sections and discouraging successful breakouts from the pack even though there were several attacks. Despite the close sprint finish at the line, Smith was comfortably ahead on the clock after gaining a
15-second advantage by winning a mid-race sprint stage. Smith’s winning time was 1:04.05. Teenage rider Kellen Viznaugh crossed the finish line fourth, close behind the lead pack. He finished second overall in the race after winning the other sprint stage. He finished five seconds back at 1:04.10. Rounding out the top 10 of 19 participants were Don Robertson (3rd, 1:04.20), Rich Hamilton (4th, 1:04.20), Thom Madlung (5th, 1:04.25), Bart Jarmula (6th, 1:04.25), Brook Glanville (7th, 1:04.25), Steve Doucet (8th, 1:04.25), Dominic Unterberger (9th, 1:05.32) and Mark Belsham (10th, 1:05.32). “I just got lucky,” Smith said after the race. “These things aren’t a science.” Smith is the Revelstoke Cycling
Association director of road cycling. He praised the efforts of 16-year-old rider Viznaugh, who continues to build an impressive resume of wins and top finishes in mountain bike, road and cyclo-cross races. “He’s really impressive [with] lots of strength,” Smith said. “Big efforts all the time.” The next road race is on June 25. The crit format race will consist of laps over a short course in Arrow Heights. There will be a start for recreational riders then a competitive group. The final race of the series is June 9. The team time-trial race will follow the Airport Way course. The RCA also hosts weekly group road rides and women’s group rides. See their website at bikerevelstoke. org for dates and times.
Sprint finish: Race winner Stuart Smith (white, black and red) leads to the finish line of the Revelstoke Cycling Association’s first road race of the 2013 season on June 11. He’s followed closely Don Robertson (3rd place; black and blue) and Rich Hamilton (4th place; white). Kellen Viznaugh (black and white) was fourth across the finish line, but finished second after gaining a 15-second time bonus for winning a sprint stage. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

Bryce Molder leads way for Aquaducks at Lumby meet Eliza McGuire
Revelstoke Aquaducks
The sun shone in Lumby this weekend as the Revelstoke Aquaducks competed in their second meet of the season. Beth Granstrom started the meet off right winning the 200m individual medley in a new club record of a 2:49.0, bettering the previous record by just over half a second. Also having a meet to remember was division five Bryce Molder, who won all six of his individual events. Other event winners were Sani Supinen, Tye Hoshizaki, Beth Granstrom, Liam McCabe and James Lebuke. Many other Ducks cracked the top three, such as: Brynn Hoshizaki, Madeleine Hobgood, Stefanie Wallach, Gina Cinelli, and Colm Molder. Podium finishers keeping it in the family were Elizabeth and Jaclyn Elliott, Jackson and Ryder Litke and Nolan, Devyn and Kaylin Gale.
There were also numerous top-eight finishes from other swimmers on the team: Megan Hoshizaki, Raine and Leif Carnegie, Morgan and Murdoch Tegart, Kate Granstrom, Anna Pfeiffer, Caine McCabe and Claudia Cinelli. The Duck relays were once again a force with multiple teams winning their division or coming in the top three. Perhaps most importantly, the team came together to cheer each other on to excellence when others were in the water, standing at the end of the lane and alongside the pool. One of the Penticton coaches commented on the Aquaducks’ wonderful sportsmanship and proper race etiquette during the meet. So while everyone may not have quite cracked the top of their division, many personal bests were achieved as the club closed out another successful meet, and gained more momentum heading towards next weekend’s comSani Supinen dives into the water during the Lumby swim meet last weekend. petition in Kamloops.

Shred Kelly shows are pretty much always a hit in Revelstoke. Twice this past winter they played sold out shows at the Big Eddy Pub. They’re back in town this Friday, June 21, to play a skatepark fundraiser at the Traverse, along with Vancouver soul-funk-rock band Jackie Treehorn. I caught up with Sage McBride, Shred Kelly’s singer and keyboard player, a few hours before the band was set to play their first of three shows at Toronto’s North By Northeast music festival. RTR: What’s it like playing a big festival like NXNE? SM: They’re a little tougher, Definitely you have to do a lot of self-promotion. They’re great because you get to see so much live music and you get to catch up with so many friends in different bands who are also touring, but it is sometimes tough to get people out to the shows, so we’ll see how they go.� What other bands are you looking to see? We’re really excited to see Imaginary Cities – they just put out a new album. July Talk and the National is playing. And then some friends of ours – Mobina Galore – and Willhorse from Golden. It’s fun to get to see those bands play in a different setting. You’ve been touring for a few years, but as a small town band, when you head to the big city, what’s it like for you?. It’s definitely a little overwhelming. It’s difficult to find parking and public transit is something we’re not used to either. Always having change readily available is not something that we often practice... We almost opened our door on bikers because the bike lane is so close to the car door. I really meant in terms of crowd response? We haven’t been in Toronto in a year since we’ve put out our new album. We’re hoping we’ve made some new fans over the year through the online work and the new album, but I guess you never know until the show. And whatever show is happening at the same time of us. If there’s another great band of a similar style – we just cross our fingers and hope for the best. We have lots of friends in the area and lots of fans that we’ve made so hope-
Shred Kelly played two sold out shows at the Big Eddy Pub this winter.
fully it’s a good turnout. You’ve played Revelstoke a number of times. What keeps you coming back here? We just love playing the mountain towns. It’s just a great vibe and everyone is out to have a really great time. Revelstoke is no different. It’s a great group of people and everyone responds really well to our music so it makes us wanting to keep coming back. You just released a music video for your song The Bear (winner of best song at the 2012 Kootenay Music Awards). How was it making that – especially making carving those instruments out of ice and making all those snowmen? We met this filmmaker (Jonathan Krauth of Green Couch Productions) and he expressed interest in making a video to that song. He came up with the part about the journey, how it all begins. We came up with the ending, having a field of snowmen and us playing ice instruments. It was an idea we were really excited about, but it took a lot of work, for (banjo player) Tim, he made all of the ice instruments himself. Is he a sculptor? No, it was trial and error. We were trying to find an ice sculptor but no one was available so he made them in the backyard by making snow cutouts in the ground. Digging shapes that were the same size and putting plastic down and freezing the shapes. But the weather would get warm and they would all melt. We bought an old freezer that we found on Kijiji but the freezer had dead cow remnants in it, like this bloody freezer. We didn’t know that you
could over-freeze things, so we thought we would try and freeze them really fast, but then they were really brittle and they were all breaking. We learned a lot about making ice instruments, so if anyone needs one, we can definitely help. I think the second time would be smoother. It all worked out and it all came together in the end. Who did the snowmen? We had a snowmaking party with all our friends in Fernie... We lucked out with the weather for that. It was perfect snowmen-making snow. We built snowmen and had Baileys and coffee and fireball and we trudged away until we had 50 snowmen built. You got to push Grant Lawrence into the river when filming a CBC Radio Three video – how did that come about? He came to Fernie. It was a not-so-nice spring day. I think they were expecting a little nicer spring weather but unfortunately not in the mountains. It was a little chilly but the rest of us all managed to stay dry. It was pretty fun to play our songs while going down the river at a fast speed. Was it his idea to get pushed in the river? That was all his idea. He was a good sport. One of your most popular songs is “I Hate Work�. Do you still have day jobs or have you given yours up? We don’t at the moment but we all did this winter. We’re taking four months off from our day jobs. We’ll see how the next four months go, and maybe head back and maybe just keep touring depending on how everything takes shape? What do you do for work?
Alex Cooper photography
Three of us work with children, two are social workers and I work with pre-schoolaged children. Two of the guys are bartenders. We all like our jobs now. None of those ones made the song. What are you doing after this summer? What’s next for the band? We’re hoping to make it down to the States sometime in the fall, or maybe in the winter depending on how things go. We’re writing songs for a new album, so hopefully sometime in the next year we’ll start recording and put a new album together we can put out sometime in the later part of 2014. We just have to get creative, starting now. You’ve played here often and you’ve got a good following in Revelstoke. Tell me something about the band your fans may not know? A random fact about Shred Kelly. What’s a random fact about us? Hmmm ‌ Very good question. You stumped me. We all really like eating chips. We eat a lot of chips. That’s one thing we collectively do together. I don’t know if that’s a good answer. Anything else? I think that sums it up. We’re really excited to be back in the mountains for a night. It should be a lot of fun. Shred Kelly and Jackie Treehorn play live at the Travers on Friday, June 21. Tickets are $15 in advance, available at Society Snow & Skate, or $20 at the door.
