Revelstoke Adventure Park proposal rejected by provincial authorities B.C. regulators have “disallowed” the adventure park proposal, but proponents plan to forge ahead with development plans Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke Adventure Park, the proposal for a large outdoor adventure park in the Greeley area near Revelstoke, has been dealt a blow after provincial authorities rejected the proponent’s application last week. However, RAP spokesperson Jason Roe said the development group will continue on with the development concept after they get

an opportunity to assess in detail the reasons why the application was rejected. Roe said their avenues could include a revision, resubmission or an appeal, but it was too early to say since he is still gathering information on the reasons for the rejection. “I don’t have all the information,” Roe told the Times Review, saying he’d just heard the news last week. He said having issues red-flagged is “part of the process.”

Nine issues have been identified by provincial authorities, Roe said. They include issues such as First Nations consultations, roadway engineering, highway access and egress, and proximity to (and some overlap with) the Revelstoke watershed in the Greeley area. “We never expected we were going to get a rubber stamp,” Roe said. He added several of the issues were anticipated. “We feel confident we will be able to mitigate those reasons.”

For example, Roe said engineering concerns about the roadway could be worked out, and that surveys and studies required as part of First Nations consultations were foreseen. However, Roe said he was surprised by the City of Revelstoke’s plans to explore possible annexation of the area, including the adjacent Greeley Creek watershed. City staff and politicians have sent mixed messages about the expansion since the RAP proposal became public in early 2013. The city declared its intention to study annexation in a letter to provincial officials in early June, although just weeks before Mayor David

Raven had said the city had abandoned the idea. Roe said several of the concerns expressed by the ministry reflected those expressed in the city’s letter. “We are going to have to talk to the city,” Roe said. “The CSRD were unaware of the boundary expansion request.” Adding another layer of complexity is the Revelstoke Mountain Resort Master Development Agreement, a multi-party agreement between the province, the City of Revelstoke and Revelstoke Mountain Resort that lays out the rules for resort development.

Marijuana referendum stokes decriminalization debate Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Elections BC has given approval in principle to marijuana activist Dana Larsen’s bid to lead a petition drive for de-criminalizing marijuana possession. Larsen has proposed that B.C. go around the federal law with a “Sensible Policing Act” that would disallow the use of B.C. police resources to prosecute simple possession of small amounts of pot. As of Sept. 9, Larsen will be allowed to begin collecting signatures referendum similar to that used to reverse the harmonized sales tax. Individuals and groups have until Aug. 12 to register with Elections BC to oppose the initiative, run ads for or against the petition or collect signatures. Larsen, who was involved with the B.C. Marijuana Party before running for the leadership of the B.C. NDP in 2011, has worked for the last year to build support for what he calls Sensible BC. His organization will have 90 days from Sept. 9 to collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of B.C.’s 85

electoral districts. If that threshold is reached, Elections BC would hold a province-wide initiative vote, likely by mail as was done to repeal the HST. Decriminalizing pot has received mainstream support in recent years, including a narrow majority vote at the 2012 Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. In a debate at that convention in Victoria last September, former B.C. Liberal attorney general Geoff Plant advocated for loosening marijuana laws, as has since been done in the U.S. states of Washington and Colorado. The idea was opposed by criminologist Darryl Plecas, who was elected B.C. Liberal MLA for Abbotsford South in the May provincial election. Larsen has had a colourful career, including editor of Vancouver-based Cannabis Culture magazine and cofounder of the Vancouver Seed Bank, which has sold seeds for marijuana, poppies, peyote and coca. Larsen resigned as an NDP candidate in the 2008 federal election, after videos surfaced showing his drug use a decade earlier.

Dana Larsen sported an untucked, wrinkly dress-casual shirt, khakis and leather sandals for our meeting at the Revelstoke Sandman Inn on Sunday. He looked a little worn from the campaigning, which included searching for local referendum supporters at the River City Pub the night before. Like a whistlestopping politician, he said their quick tour of the region was designed to motivate the base, not necessarily win converts. Larsen pointed to polling numbers, saying decriminalization is inevitable. Why the decriminalization campaign, instead of a legalization one? Larsen studied successful U.S. referendum campaigns and found it was the only practical means to the end. He said the campaign was anticipating their end game, the 2015 federal election. The issue is a non-starter with federal Conservatives, but Larsen feels the potential is there in the event of a Liberal, NDP or left-coalition

win. Larsen, who makes a living running medical marijuana dispensaries, said even conservative voters were polling in favour of legalization. He predicted winning the referendum would be a cinch; the hard part is getting enough support to meet the threshold to hold a referendum. Larsen said prohibition only hurts everyday B.C.ers. “The police and the

Hells Angels both like marijuana prohibition, because they both profit off it,” he said. “It’s a great make-work project for the police – it gives them all kinds of extra powers and funding. Certainly the Hells Angels and other illegal groups that grow marijuana also like the status quo as well, but regular British Columbians are the ones that get hurt, and that’s why it’s time to change.”

City of Revelstoke boundary expansion study factors in adventure park rejection RAP, from page 1 “There is some concern also about the master development agreement,” Roe said. The ownership group of the RAP also includes overlap with the Revelstoke Mountain Resort owners, although the business terms aren’t public knowledge. The news of the RAP’s rejection came as a result of Times Review inquiries with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. The official documents outlining the reasons for rejection have yet to be posted on that ministry’s website, but are anticipated soon. ***

Ministry denies watershed protection claim The B.C. Forests ministry spokesperson told the Times Review that ministry staff have been unable to locate documents backing up a watershed protection advocate’s claim that historic protection tenure covering the Greeley and Dolan watersheds somehow disappeared. In a July 12 email, a ministry spokesperson said there was an absence of “basis” for claims that the watersheds had lost the protected status. The spokes-

person said they couldn’t find “any evidence” the protected status existed. The spokesperson said all watersheds have other levels of protection by law. B.C. Tap Water Alliance (BCTWA) spokesperson Will Koop sent a letter to Revelstoke City Council in June, asking for an exploration of the watershed tenure status. City Council resolved to explore the issue by gathering information, including a request to provincial authorities. In an interview with the Times Review, Koop insisted the tenure did once exist, pointing to historical documents he provided. Koop’s BCTWA focuses on long-term history, and often takes a political view; their

media releases attack the B.C. Liberals by name. The BCTWA has been engaged in a decades-long struggle with successive governments over watershed management issues, with the BCTWA advocating for zerouse, park-like protection policies in watersheds, while provincial authorities seek to allow some ongoing commercial activities. At their June 25 meeting, council did respond to the BCTWA’s request by querying the province about tenure protection. That line of inquiry may shed more light on the nuanced history of the Greeley and other local watersheds. The ministry also responded to the Times Review’s request about the status of a large alpine

skiing tenure in the heart of the Greeley watershed. A Forests ministry spokesperson said the tenure was a “buffer” put in place by Revelstoke Mountain Resort to serve notice to others contemplating use of the area, and that the resort hadn’t registered any plans to use the area on the back side of Mount Mackenzie for skiing operations. He advised the resort may explore plans in the future. Koop is soon releasing a book about the history of watershed protection, including a focus on the history of Big Eddy watershed protection issues. He likened the Greeley protection issue to a marriage, saying the province has lost the marriage license. “The very information that protects [the marriage] it is not there,” he said.

Fee proposed for Smart Meter abstainers Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Energy Minister Bill Bennett says there are about still 60,000 BC Hydro customers who are still resisting installation of wireless electricity meters, and he wants the utility to offer them manual meter readings, for a price. “What we’re contemplating at this point is that maybe we can deliver a digital meter that has the radio turned off,” Bennett told reporters at the B.C. legislature Thursday. “We just feel that we don’t want to bully people into taking the smart meter if they don’t want it.” Modifying the meters for different customers and sending out human meter readers would generate costs that should not be borne by the vast majority of customers who accepted wireless meters, Bennett said. He offered no estimate of the cost, but predicted that more people will drop their opposition rather than pay for extra service. Bennett said he agrees with B.C.’s medical health officer that signals from wire-

less meters are not a health hazard, but he doesn’t want them forced on people who believe otherwise. NDP energy critic John Horgan said he is pleased the government has finally agreed with his position that people should be given another option. But he wants the issue referred to the B.C. Utilities Commission to set the price, so customers aren’t “gouged” to pay for other cost overruns at the utility. “We said before the election that an optout provision was appropriate,” Horgan said. “It’s done in other jurisdictions. Quebec is leading the way here in Canada. It’s about time.” With 96 per cent of wireless meters installed, customers in some areas are receiving daily usage information on their BC Hydro customer web pages. Smart meters send a radio signal equivalent to a brief mobile phone call to report usage, and also signal when power is interrupted. Digital meters also detect when they are tampered with, and the quality of electrical supply.

Hunger strike averted at city hall RCMP called in after irate Revelstoke businessperson loses it over business sign delays Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Troscadh or Cealachan was an ancient Irish form of protest codified in pre-Christian civic law. A protester would refuse food and fast on the doorstep of their accused offender. Students of contemporary history will note the modern Irish equivalent of the hunger strike was employed as a tool during 20th Century political struggles in Ireland. A Revelstoke businessperson threatened to deploy the hunger strike last week, intending to camp out on the steps of Revelstoke City Hall until officials coughed up the paperwork for her business sign. Elaine Gayle owns the EcoCents discount store in the Revelstoke industrial park. After nearly two months of waiting, she lost her patience with city staff on July 9, “It’s just been a long process of passing the buck,” she told the Times Review. “They

couldn’t find my file again today.” Vacations, missing files, lost paperwork and staff departures were all given as excuses for delays. Gayle said she lost it when staff asked her to come back yet again. “I said, ‘No, I’m not coming back again.’ I was getting quite irate.” She told staff she’d start her hunger strike on city hall steps that evening. The city CAO Tim Palmer eventually stepped in, making several phone calls and getting the issue sorted out that day. Despite the resolution, Gayle said she wanted to publicize ongoing service issues at city hall; the long, slow sign approval process has resulted in major flareups before. She’s losing business everyday because of lack of signage, she said. Later that day at city council’s regular meeting, CAO Tim Palmer told council the incident was an example of city hall coming to terms with

service issues. “It is my position that today’s issue was an example of us not providing timely service,” he said. “I saw it as an unacceptable service.” At the July 9 meeting, he presented an update on city hall restructuring, saying the changes are designed to improve turnaround times for things like business sign applications. Palmer explained he intervened to deal with the complaint. “This gets to the core of why we are doing this,” he said. I spoke with Gayle twice; once before the issue had been resolved, then later in the day when it had. Since it was resolved, did she want to drop the option of a story in the news media? No, she said. “What ends do we have to come to to get results?” she asked. “City hall is not getting their act together. and businesses are taking the brunt of it.”

City hall interior, exterior, landscaping renovations in the works Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

A renovation inside Revelstoke City Hall is underway, and a new entranceway and landscaping are planned for the Second Stree. The plans for the new Second Street entrance include four new benches, new sidewalks, environmental drainage systems, a large sign, improved doorways and a bicycle rack. The cost for the renovations project? That’s unknown – city staff are finalizing the plan and should have an estimate by the end of the summer, when parts of the ongoing renovations will already be completed. City of Revelstoke CAO Tim Palmer presented the exterior landscaping plans to council at their July 9 meeting. He explained the interior renovations are about to commence; the lower floor of Revelstoke City Hall is expected to be gutted in the coming weeks. The physical reshuffling of offices at city hall coincides with the recent organizational changes. City staff will be reporting to new bosses and will be in new offices. The new development services office will be located via the Second Street entrance and is the focus of the renovations this summer. Palmer said the city didn’t know

Smith said Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline twinning is more likely to proceed than Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project, because Trans Mountain is already twinned along a third of the corridor, it faces less First Nations opposition and it uses an established tanker route and an existing land right-of-way. “I would think if you’re Stephen Harper and Joe Oliver and you’re going to push it, that’s the one you’re going to push.” Most other B.C. faces in the Harper cabinet are unchanged. The most notable shift was that of DeltaRichmond East MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay from associate minister of national defence to National Revenue Minister. Abbotsford MP Ed Fast remains International Trade Minister, while Richmond MP Alice Wong stays on as Minister of State for Seniors. John Duncan (Vancouver Island-North) had resigned from cabinet in February after writing an inappropriate character reference letter but returns now as whip. Other changes in the federal cabinet shuffle see Peter MacKay become Justice Minister and Attorney-General and Rob Nicholson become Defence Minister – the two swapped jobs. Steven Blaney is the new Public Safety Minister, replacing the retiring Vic Toews. Leona Aglukkaq, the former health minister, becomes Environment Minister, while Rona Ambrose takes over at health. Lisa Raitt is now Transportation Minister, while former revenue minister Gail Shea is back in her old role as Fisheries Minister. Bernard Valcourt keeps the aboriginal affairs portfolio.

city hall; some of it was falling off. They wanted to add an exterior insulation material. That process is ongoing, and is a parallel, but essentially separate process to the interior renovations. Back in 2010, a protest from the Canadian Art Deco Society halted the stucco replacement in its tracks. Society president Donald Luxton pleaded for thoughtful conservation of the “modernist gem.” Council opted for a $23,000

study of the exterior materials, and a historical study of the building. That culminated in a report from Donald Luxton, who in the time since he protested the ill-advised stucco repair job went on to earn the contract to report on heritage values for the building. He presented his 34-page final report to the City of Revelstoke’s heritage commission on June 24. The expansive report details the history of the building and its architect, C.B.K. Van Norman. As for the exterior question, the report found the stucco is failing. The exterior insulation option would improve the insulation value, but isn’t deemed to be necessary, but an option. Luxton found this the least-desirable option because it would alter the building’s exterior from its original form. He concluded much of its heritage value lays in its exterior. Another option is stripping it down to concrete and painting it, thus restoring its original form – the “restoration” option. The third option is to replace the stucco. While council will have to wrestle with the exterior question again, the paint swatches have been sealed. Archive sleuthing and chemical microanalysis determined the original exterior was a flat finish Monterey White, while the win-

dow sash, windows and door trim were a high-gloss finish Strathcona Mahogany. The report also provides extensive information: window types, interior descriptions, doors, conservation guidelines, historical anecdotes, staff surveys, original blueprints and historic photos, to name some. City of Revelstoke heritage commission chairperson Mike Dragani said city staff ran the interior renovations past them, and they’re on board. Dragani said the interior renovations would complement the heritage exterior renovations plan. He said making the building an accessible public space is consistent with heritage objectives. To summarize: A staff re-org is “gutting” some of the building’s interior and prompting exterior landscaping changes, the costs of which haven’t been determined or detailed. The changes prompted by the re-org have been extended to some exterior landscaping changes. Meanwhile, in parallel, the City of Revelstoke is digesting a historic study on the building and will soon wrestle with which direction to move their conservation efforts now that they have the architect’s heritage report.

What is Revelstoke’s risk of a railway distaster? Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke faces an increased risk of a rail accident should shipments of crude oil by train increase, but there are factors in place that could mitigate Revelstoke’s exposure, according to a UBC professor. “Of course, the exposure goes up given the probability if you double the number of trains going through with hazardous goods. That’s just common sense,” said Garland Chow, a professor of logistics at the University of British Columbia. However, he added, “I would suggest the increase of renewed diligence will ensure the percentage of accidents will be no worse than historically, if not better in the foreseeable future.” I spoke to Chow last week following the devastating train accident that wrecked the town of Lac-Megantic, Quebec, killing at least 35 people, with another 15 missing and presumed dead. The explosion, which occurred when a runaway train carrying more than 70 cars of crude oil derailed and exploded in the centre of town on July 6. The tragedy has sparked many questions about rail safety, especially regarding the transportation of crude oil by train, which has increased exponentially in recent years. As reported last week in this paper, according to Transport Canada, 1,200 carloads of crude oil and petroleum products were shipped to B.C. last year. That number doesn’t specify whether they came via CN or CP. It is less than 10 per cent of the estimated 20,000 carloads of crude that was shipped from Alberta in 2012, according to a report by Malcolm Cairns and published by the Canadian Transportation Research Forum. Shipment of crude by rail is increasing as companies working in the Alberta tar sands look for ways to get their product to market. CP Rail provides rail links through terminals in Edmonton, the Alberta Industrial Heartland to the northeast,

and Hardisty, Alta. Most of that oil heads south to the United States and east to Ontario and Quebec. Only a small amount heads through B.C., but that number has been increasing rapidly since 2009. Cairns’ report provides a detailed look at pipeline capacity, potential future pipeline capacity, and the ability of CN and CP to transport oil by train. He concludes that if CN and CP were to increase their capacity to service the oil sands, it would mean they would each move an additional five trains per day, carrying 63,000 to 78,000 barrels of oil each. Two of those trains would move along the CP mainline between Alberta and Vancouver. Currently, CP handles 30–35 trains per day west to Vancouver, Cairns writes. Were this to happen, this would mean an increased exposure to Revelstoke, and everywhere along the CP mainline. Of course, oil isn’t the only concern. Trains also carry huge amounts of chemicals every day. The risks of a chemical spill from a train are huge, as evidenced by the Cheakamus River disaster on Aug. 5, 2005. On that day, a CN Rail train traveling over the Cheakamus River north of Squamish, B.C., derailed, leaking 40,000 litres of sodium hydroxide (caustic soda, or lye) into the river below. The spill caused widespread harm to the local fish population as the sodium hydroxide flowed downstream. According to the B.C. Ministry of the Environment, as many as 500,000 fish were killed. Closer to Revelstoke, in February 2007, a CP Rail train derailed east of Golden, B.C. Two of the eight cars that jumped the tracks contained sodium hydroxide and another was carrying hydrochloric acid, which leaked from the car. In that case, the spill was contained before it could cause any significant environmental harm. In June 2011, one of the cars involved in a train derailment in Albert Canyon was a tank car, however no spill resulted.

Crews work on clearing a train derailment at the CP Rail overpass over Victoria Road in Revelstoke in April 2010. The Revelstoke Times Review file photo derailment happened when a train collided with a train that was already stopped.

“If a train is going out of control, it doesn’t make much difference what its carrying,” said Chow. “If something happens to a train, what its pulling is usually irrelevant. If it’s a hazardous commodity, it will have a bigger impact.” There are factors that could lower the risk from the increased exposure, said Chow. For one, the tragedy in Lac-Megantic will likely lead to a review of safety protocols and, hopefully, stronger safety measures and increased safety inspections by Transport Canada. The caveat being both CP Rail and Transport Canada’s willingness and ability to put an extra emphasis on safety. Is there the regulatory capacity to enforce safety measures? “Unfortunately that’s a question that can’t be answered because Transport Canada won’t tell you,” said Chow. “There has been a number of accusations made that because of the cuts at Transport Canada, that this might have resulted in less diligence on the part of regulation of safety, and less continuous improvement in terms of ensuring the right safety protocols and requirements are actually in case.”

Budget cuts at the Federal level have affected every department, he noted. “This is a matter of placing a priority on where you make the cuts, and we often say that safety is a priority and therefore hopefully Transport Canada did not cut in that area. Hopefully that’s not an underlying reason there was an accident.” Chow noted the differences between Lac-Megantic and Revelstoke. For one, the rail yard in the former is located on a hill above the town, meaning a runaway train would roll downhill. He also said the fact there are two people aboard every train should make a difference, because there’s an extra person to conduct safety checks. He also said the presence of a strong union with CP is a factor because it provides the workers with a voice when it comes to safety. “They play a very strong role in the mainline railways in that they’ll stand up, they’ll make noise and they’ll submit suggestions and negotiate for better safety conditions for their employees,” he said. “I believe that is missing for the short line railroads.”

Community rallying to support infant Neve Beisel

Neve has spent most of her young life in hospital, and doctor’s are struggling to figure out what’s wrong with her Alex Cooper

Neve Beisel has spent most of her four months alive in the hospital. Her problems began in the womb, a few months before she was born, when her abdomen stopped growing. "Her abdomen stopped growing and they couldn't figure out why," her mother Whitney Kendrick told me on the phone from BC Children's Hospital in Vancouver. "Normally it's either genetic or there's something wrong with my placenta." Doctors conducted tests but they couldn't find anything conclusive. At 21-weeks pregnant, Kendrick moved to Vancouver with her toddler son Ford to be closer to a tertiary care centre in case she went into labour early. Cory Beisel, the father, stayed in Revelstoke. After two months there, they were able to move back to Revelstoke, but Kendrick still had to go for ultrasounds every two weeks as a precaution. When Neve was born in the early morning hours of March 27 – about 10 days earlier than expected – she immediately had trouble breathing and had to be hooked up to a machine to be stabilized. That was the beginning of Neve's issues that have led her to spend so many days in hospital, hooked up to feeding tubes and breathing apparatus while doctors try to figure out what is causing all these problems. Pictures Kendrick have posted to Facebook are shocking, showing little Neve hooked up to a maze of tubes and wires To help the family financially, some friends have set up a page where donations are being accepted, and a benefit concert is being on held on Sunday, July 28. Updates are being posted on the Facebook page Support for Neve Beisel. After Neve was born, there were fears her heart was on the wrong side of the body, and too large. She was airlifted to BC Children's Hospital in Vancouver,

where she was placed in the neonatal intensive care unit. She was given oxygen and a feeding tube was attached. "She breathes all the time like she's running," said Kendrick, adding that because of that, "She can't eat, she can't breast feed, she can't bottle feed." Four days after returning home to Revelstoke, Neve developed an infection where her feeding tube entered her stomach, so they had to go to Kamloops for treatment for three days. That was followed by more time at home, and then another trip to BC Children's while their son Ford was being checked out. That's another part of the story. Ford was born with a genetic issues that stopped the development of one eye, his pallet, one of his thumbs and caused a unusual development of his spine. He will be at BC Children's to be fitted for a new eye later this month. Despite his issues, Kendrick said he is developing just as a 2.5-year-old should. Meanwhile, Neve's problems continued. In June, on a trip to Grand Cache, Alta., where Cory was going to work as a raft guide, she started having seizures. She was flown to Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton, where she spent two weeks being stabilized and waiting to be transferred back to British Columbia. "They still don't know what caused the seizure," said Kendrick. Because of her ongoing problems, going home meant an $11,000 flight, which the province of B.C. wouldn't pay for. Stollery's paid for the flight and Kendrick is hoping they will be reimbursed through her insurance. This time, they went to Kamloops. "We hoped we would go home from there," said Kendrick. "Our pediatrician, because there were too many unanswered questions – why did she have a seizure, why did she require oxygen to breath – she felt more testing needed to be done. "She was doing pretty well and they thought maybe they would

send her directly home with the plan to have follow-up at B.C. Children's in the future, but then last Saturday she had a couple episodes where her oxygen levels dropped and they thought maybe she was having a seizure again. At that point the doctors decided we needed to go back to B.C. Children's and have this stuff looked at." I spoke to Kendrick while she was in Vancouver with Neve, and Cory and Ford were in Revelstoke, where Cory works as a guide for Apex Rafting. She told me Neve was undergoing more tests. One side of Neve's body is bigger than the other, but the doctors aren't sure if one side is too big or the other is too small. Given the problems both Ford and Neve have experienced, a geneticist will be conducting tests on all of their DNAs to determine the reason for their problems. "They think either Cory or I have something hidden in our genetic makeup that is creating these problems or its a combination of our genes coming together that is a problem," said Kendrick. "Both kids, they think their problems are related to gene expression and growth genes being turned on and off at the right time in development." For both parents, the ordeal has been very tough. Kendrick said she's taking things day-byday. She was planning on returning to Revelstoke with Neve this week; Neve will remain on oxygen. "The main thing I want is a plan so when we get back to Revelstoke we have some information," she said. "So if she has another seizure we have medication that can help her recover from that seizure, that she has proper breathing and she's not having these saturation dips." The July 28 fundraiser is being organized by Rubyanne Meda and Doris Folkens, two of Kendrick's co-workers at Queen Victoria Hospital. Details will be provided in next week’s Times Review. Donations can also be made through the Facebook page Support For Neve Beisel.

Dennis Berarducci (middle) hands over a $20,000 cheque to Renee Howe and Kevin Grimm of Revelstoke Minor Hockey. The money was won as part of the Kraft Hockey Goes On contest. Grimm, the president of Revelstoke Minor Hockey, said the money will go to help make hockey affordable for families. “We want to do everything we can to lower the cost for parents,” he said. The community was thanked for its support, including David Rooney and Howe, who nominated Berarducci to represent Revelstoke in the contest. Alex Cooper/ Revelstoke Times Review

Mortillery is playing the Big Eddy Pub this Thursday, July 18, at 9 p.m.

Mortillery promises fast and aggressive show ALEX COOPER

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Alex Scott looks the part of the heavy metal hero. Seeing him around the Big Eddy Pub, where he works at the neighbouring liquor store, he’s big and imposing, with long blonde hair. He plays lead guitar in the up-andcoming thrash metal band Mortillery. And he’s about to release a solo album of what he calls “dark classical” songs that will be just him on classical guitar, backed by a bit of organ. “Pretty much you take metal and put it on a classical guitar. It will be heavy like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart – their darker pieces,” he said. “I’ve always liked classical because it’s just you and the guitar. There’s no story being told by the vocalist. You can close your eyes and make your own story. I just love it. Blues and classical are the foundation of my playing.” Before that album comes out, Scott, who moved to Revelstoke last year, will be touring with his Edmonton-based band Mortillery this summer, including a show at the Big Eddy Pub this Thursday, July 18. Mortillery have been making a name for themselves in the heavy metal world since their formation in 2008. After a shaky first year, the lineup solidified in 2010 with Cara McCutchen on vocals, Alex Gutierrez on guitar, Scott on lead guitar, Miranda Wolfe on bass and Kevin Gaudet on drums.

They released a five-song demo, played a bunch of shows, including opening slots for Canadian metal heroes Anvil, wrote some more songs and in January 2011 they entered the studio to record their first album, Murder Death Kill. “We had a whole bunch of material and took a month and a half to record the whole thing,” said Scott. “We pretty much released it and started sending it to labels blindly, just getting it out there.” Response to the album was slow, but the reviews were generally positive. It got some attention in Europe – one label that liked the album was Napalm Records out of Austria. For the band this was a big deal – Napalm being about the biggest metal label out there, short of being signed to a major label. “Our guitar player had told us a label was interested and I thought he was lying,” said Scott. “He showed me the e-mail and I found out it was Napalm Records and I couldn’t believe it.” After enlisting the help of a manager, and some back-andforth with the label, they signed a contract at a fancy steakhouse in Calgary. Murder Death Kill was re-released and the band started working on the follow-up, Origin of Extinction. “Murder Death Kill was songs we had written just to write music. We went into record Origin of Extinction with the entire album written front to back,” said Scott. “It was definitely a lot eas-

ier to get what we wanted out of it instead of just throwing random songs together. I think Origin of Extinction flows a lot better than the first record did.” One thing that makes the band stand out is the presence of singer Cara McCutchen on vocals. Scott said unlike other female-fronted metal bands, McCutchen’s presence isn’t a gimmick. “She can do that yelling and aggressive vocals, but can also do that Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson style operatic vocals,” said Scott. “She has a range that a lot of men couldn’t capture.” Origin of Extinction has received numerous positive reviews from the heavy metal press. It has put Mortillery on the map and have had their fans in Europe clammering for them to head overseas. For now, Mortillery is staying at home, waiting for the right opportunity. After Revelstoke they are heading to Vancouver, followed by performances at Armstrong Metalfest and some shows in Edmonton in Alberta. Even with the band based in Edmonton, Scott plans on staying in Revelstoke until he heads to Europe to study at the Norwegian Music Academy next year. He said to expect a fast show. “Usually our live shows are aggressive and fast. It’s over before you know it.” Mortillery will be joined by Revelstoke’s Makememurder and Edmonton’s Snakebite at the Big Eddy Pub on Thursday, July 18, at 10 p.m. Tickets are $8.

PUBLIC NOTICE

RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act. Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Initiative Advertising: Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising. Registration applications are available from Elections BC. Who May Sign the Petition: Registered voters as of Monday, September 9, 2013 may sign the initiative petition. Individuals may only sign the petition once, and must sign the petition sheet for the electoral district in which they are registered at the time of signing. Signed petitions are available for public inspection. For More Information: The initiative application and draft Bill are available for public inspection on the Elections BC website and at the Elections BC office at the address below.

The Revelstoke Aquaducks hosted a huge number of swimmers from around the Okanagan region this weekend at the Revelstoke Aquatic Centre. With an outpouring of local support, the Aquaducks swam themselves to yet another top-three finish, showing excellent consistency coming in second on the girls side, second on the boys side and second overall. There were many swimmers making finals and placing in the top three of their division, which was more difficult than usual as this meet was the best attended of any Revelstoke meet with an exceptional 360 swimmers. So, while crowded, the competition was an excellent rehearsal for the regional championship to be held in Penticton in three weeks. Parents and swimmers ringed the pool side as the races went off one after another, without delay, all day Saturday and Sunday. Top aggregates for the Aquaducks were: – Division one: Ryder Litke, third – Division two: Alex Jay, second – Division three: Brynn Hoshizaki, tied for second – Division four: Beth Granstrom, third – Division five: Bryce Molder, first – Division seven: Emily Pfeiffer, first; Jacob Wallach, third – Division eight: Eliza McGuire, first, Rosemary Kelsall, third. Breaking meet records were Bryce Molder in the 200-meter individual medley with a time of 2:29.23, which was also a new club record; and Emily Pfeiffer in the 50-meter butterfly, bettering her own record by one one-hundredth of a second to a 31.53. Both swimmers won all four of their individual events. More club records fell this weekend as Beth Granstrom bettered her own club record in winning the 200metre Individual Medley with a time of 2:48.52, and gained a new club record in the 100-metre backstroke with a time of 1:18.46, in which she came second. The record was previously held by Emily Pfeiffer. Bryce Molder bettered his own club records in the 100-metre butterfly and the 100-metre freestyle, with times of 1:07.04 and 59.23 respectively. Molder said his favourite race was the freestyle relay, in which he led out the team in a personal best of 27.70. Looking to the future, the Aquaducks travel to Golden next weekend to compete in the last competition in the Okanagan region before regionals, with high hopes for more fast swimming, excitement and fun. The Summer Swim club gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Columbia Basin Trust.
