Fundraiser for baby Neve

Children dance as Doris Folkens and Seal Skull Hammer play at a fundraiser for baby Neve Beisel and her family on Sunday, July 28, at the seniors centre. Neve and her mother Whitney Kendrick could not make it to the fundraiser because Neve was still at B.C. Chidlren’s Hospital for surgery on her feeding tube. Her father Cory and brother Ford (left) were at the fundraiser, along with about 60 other people. The evening featured a silent auction with more than dozen items up for bid, including a heli-skiing trip, several massages and much more. There was also a dessert auction, with several pies and cakes there for the taking. The music started off with a performance by the Lonely Souls, featuring Doris Folkens and Darrin Herting. Afterwards, the band Seal Skull Hammer came up for a set of their old-time folk songs. The fundraiser was organized by Folkens and Rubyanne Meda, two of Kendrick’s co-workers at Queen Victoria Hospital. “It’s amazing,” said Cory, who thanked Folkens and Meda for organizing the fundraiser. “We didn’t ask for anything, they just did it.”

B.C. deficit tops $1.1 billion TOM FLETCHER Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government finished the last fiscal year with a deficit of $1.15 billion, according to the audited public accounts released Tuesday.

That's up from $968 million that was projected as the deficit last year, an indication of the difficult task facing the government to balance the budget in the current year.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the government reduced its spending $668 million in the fiscal year ended March, compared to what was budgeted. But resource revenues, mostly natural gas, were down $1.1 billion from the 2012 budget.

Health care spending was up $585 million, education spending rose $300 million and social services spending went up $50 million compared to 2011-12. Total program spending increase 2.6 per cent, higher than the target of two per cent de Jong has set for this year.

Deficits and continued spending on capital projects pushed the province's total debt up $5.6 billion to $55.8 billion.

"We've seen the largest debt increase in the history of British Columbia," NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth said. "And this is a government that ran around during the election campaign saying it's going to be debt-free B.C."

Kitimat ocean program set for oil tankers TOM FLETCHER Black Press

A little-noticed federal ocean monitoring program around Kitimat is the clearest signal yet that the federal government is preparing the region for crude oil tanker traffic, Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver says.

Weaver was catching up on his scientific reading after the B.C. election when he stumbled on a line – "almost a throwaway" – in the April issue of Canadian Ocean Science Newsletter.

"A major initiative in planning is the complementary measures project for the area surrounding Kitimat British Columbia to support planned oil traffic," it says.

Government scientists who developed the system in the Gulf of St. Lawrence say it is to help "search and rescue, oil spill response and to ensure safe and navigable waterways."

Weaver said the project goes well beyond research, and represents a major ongoing budget commitment by Environ-

Pipeline proposals are being considered to increase heavy oil exports from Vancouver and Kitimat.

ment Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada to forecast ocean conditions for oil tanker traffic.

"My conclusion is, come hell or high water, the intention of the feds right now is to ship bitumen to Asia through Kitimat," Weaver said in an interview. "Whether it be through rail or through pipeline, it's going to happen, and I don't think that British Columbians are getting the whole picture

here."

Environment Canada spokesman Mark Johnson issued a statement confirming the program was funded in the 2012 federal budget, under the government's "responsible resource development" initiative.

Its purpose is to "to improve the scientific understanding of diluted bitumen products and to improve operational capabilities to provide timely scientific assessment in the event of an oil

spill.

"The Government of Canada is increasing research into nonconventional petroleum products to fortify Canada's marine prevention, preparedness and response capabilities.

"In terms of ocean forecasting, Environment Canada Meteorological Service of Canada will bring specific contributions to this overall goal in the provision of high-resolution surface winds forecasts along the complex waterways from Kitimat to Hecate Strait area, as winds play an important role as input to oil spill modelling assessment."

A federal assessment panel is preparing recommendations for the federal cabinet on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project, which would deliver diluted bitumen from Alberta to the Kitimat port.

Weaver said Ottawa's apparent rush to export heavy crude increases the pollution risk on land and ocean, and also works against development of a petrochemical industry in Canada.

Jet fuel spill into creek leads to evacuation, health advisory Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke would take a two pronged approach in case of a toxic spill in a local waterway, says the local emergency management coordinator.

"One is public safety and one is spill management," Simon Hunt told the Times Review.

The first step would be to contact Emergency Management B.C. and declare a state of emergency, he said. Next, they would determine a safe zone around the spill to make sure people were safe. Afterwards, a spill containment team would be brought in to do cleanup around affected areas and prevent the spill from spreading.

"It would be up to the environmental spill team, they would determine the extent of the damage and the approach we would use to contain the spill," said Hunt.

The Times Review spoke to Hunt after a tanker truck carrying 35,000 litres of A1 jet fuel crashed on a forestry road near Lemon Creek in the Slocan Valley, spilling its load into the creek and contaminating the local environment on Friday, July 26.

A state of emergency was called and 800 homes along Lemon Creek and the Slocan River were evacuated as toxic fumes permeated the air. The order was later expanded to include 2,500 homes.

"The concern is inhaling fumes hazardous to one's health and the explosive nature of jet fuel," said Bill Macpherson, the information officer for the Regional Disirtc of Central Kootenay, on Friday. "It does dissipate fairly quickly. With any luck, this order will be short lived, but it's hard to say."

Residents either took refuge with friends or at one of three shelters set up in Nelson and Slocan City. Having heard about the disaster before bed, Brian Rosen had a restless night at his home in Shore Acres a couple hundred feet from the Slocan River on Friday. And on Saturday morning at 6 a.m., he was

asked to leave.

“I just worry about the river, really — the fish and the plants, really,” he said a few hours later.

“It’s been untouched so far. Now it’s touched and this is a big wakeup call for the Kootenays. We live in this secluded area and we think that everything is so pristine but it just takes one truck.”

Gwen Rasmussen was woken at about 1:30 a.m. and asked to leave her Passmore home. By the time they departed an hour later, she could smell the fuel in the air. She described the smell as being similar to diesel.

“What a shock. It seems like there is just one disaster after another,” she said. “The environmental damage that’s going to be done to that river is going to have such an effect on the wildlife.”

On Saturday, the evacuation order was lifted and residents were

allowed home. Highway 6, which was closed following the crash, was re-opened too.

A health advisory was issued by Interior Health warning people not to drink water or swim in the Slocan and Kootenay Rivers downstream from the site of the spill.

IH also advised against eating fish caught from those rivers.

Dr. Trevor Corneil, medical health officer, said he does not expect any long-term effects from the jet fuel spill but wants residents to take precautions in the short-term.

"Certainly above the [Brilliant] dam, it's a do not use water advisory which includes drinking, swimming, fishing and recreation until such time as the Ministry of Environment is able to sort out that things are clean," Corneil told the Castlegar News in a phone interview Sunday.

A boom was placed along the

Kootenay River near its confluence with the Columbia River in order to soak up spilled jet fuel before it passed through the Brilliant Dam. With respect to a video showing dead minnows in the Slocan River, Corneil said damage would likely be short term and any long-term ecological impact would be clarified by the Ministry of Environment after testing of sediment and fish.

"We do advise people follow our updates for the next 48 to 72 hours," he said. "We've had a small number of people, under 15, presenting just within the first 24 hours to New Denver emergency. A few people in Nelson, too, but we're not sure if those were related to the spill. Some people did have burning in their throats but that's certainly the worst that we have heard. No one has been admitted [to hospital]."

In an earlier news release, Inte-

rior Health stated: “The fuel involved (jet fuel A-1) is a volatile organic compound that in high concentrations (liquid or gas) can cause significant damage to skin, lung tissue, gastrointestinal tissue, and brain tissue. Volatile organic compounds such as these can also exacerbate any chronic diseases such as emphysema, heart disease, and neuromuscular disorders.”

The tanker was removed from the creek on Sunday. Executive Flight Services of Calgary, which owned the tanker, has the lead role in remediation efforts at the site, according to the Regional District of Central Kootenay.

The tanker made a wrong turn onto Lemon Creek forest service road while heading to a fueling station for helicopters tackling the Perry Ridge wildfire (see page 5).

Capsule Comments With John Teed & David Lafreniere Steroids often get bad press but there is a good side to them. Our bodies normally make steroids to build cholesterol, which produces hormones like cortisol.

This is made by our adrenal glands and is important in energy and immune functions. Other steroids regulate our fluids and electrolytes.

Our sex hormones, like testosterone and estrogen are also steroids.

Steroids are also used legitimately to treat diseases like asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis and gout. Short courses of steroids are used to treat allergic reactions that might cause obstruction of the airways and they can bring a quick and dramatic relief of symptoms.

A wildfire burns on Perry Ridge, above the town of Winlaw in the Slocan Valley. The fire danger was elevated to extreme in the Revelstoke area last week.

Wildfire danger reaches extreme as fire blazes in Slocan Valley Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The risk of wildfires remains extreme as heat and dry weather continues in the Revelstoke area.

The high temperature was above 30 C for six days in a row last week, from July 20–25, peaking at 34.9 C on July 25. It also stayed dry, with no rain falling during the period. The last measurable rainfall was on July 17, when it rained a mere 0.3 mm.

Through all of July, it has rained 3.8 mm, most of which fell on July 8.

Because of the hot dry weather, the Southeast Fire Centre elevated the fire danger for the Revelstoke area to extreme last Wednesday, July 24, and it stayed that way through the weekend. Parks Canada closed all backcountry trails in Mount Revelstoke National Park.

Firefighters were called in to battle two wildfires in the Slocan Valley – one a small spot fire and the other four hectares in size.

They were burning high up on an area known as Perry Ridge, away from structures, and were being fought with air tankers, said Jordan Turner, information officer with the Southeast Fire centre.

The fire was discovered Wednesday afternoon and was four hectares in size as of the morning of July 25.

By Monday morning it had grown to 97 hectares, but there was no danger to people or structures, according to the Southeast Fire Centre. “The fire is still in a very remote area far away from any houses, people, roads, anything like that,” said Turner.

There were eight helicopters and 65 firefighters on scene,

including a crew from Revelstoke.

“We’ve built helipads for fire fighters to be flown in,” Turner said on Friday. “They’re starting to build a guard around the fire and today they’ll be laying hose and trying to get this fire contained.”

On Friday and Saturday, the giant Martin Mars water bomber was brought in to help, but it suffered a non-emergency “mechanical issue” which is being looked at.

“One of the major reasons we brought it in was because of the remoteness of the fire,” Turner said. There is no road access to the fire, which is being fought primarily by air.

Robyn Gold lives on the Slocan River has been watching smoke rising from the other side of the Perry Ridge.

“Yesterday, the fire was a bit scary, because we could see it was spreading north along the ridge,” she said. “However we are a long distance from the fire and have a river between us and the fire.”

Gold has been watching the crews attack the fire by air with helicopters “flying right past our house for the last two days.”

“The choppers run continuously, dropping water on the fire, sometimes they fill up at the river, other choppers appear to be filling from Slocan Lake or some distance north of Winlaw.”

As of Friday, July 26, there are five other lightning-caused wildfires burning in the Southeast Fire Centre. All of these are less than one hectare in size. One is right near the larger Perry Ridge fire.

There are six members on the ground and one helicopter working on that spotfire.

Audit reveals issues at Interior hospitals JOE FRIES

Black Press

Years after a woman died as a result of a medication mix-up at an Okanagan hospital, an Interior Health Authority audit found there still exists a “moderate to high risk” to patients at its facilities.

Brenda Gaida, 40, was admitted to Vernon Jubilee Hospital in July 2007 for treatment of a skin condition for which she received a drug called methotrexate. Her health deteriorated and she died three months later at an Alberta hospital.

Her family claimed the cause of death was “methotrexate brain toxicity” due to excessive doses she received at VJH, according to a B.C. Supreme Court ruling issued this month, which confirmed a $440,000 judgment against Interior Health, the hospital and four doctors. The defendants admitted the drug was mistakenly given to Gaida daily rather than weekly.

Issues with medication management arise frequently. In 2011 alone, IHA reported 5,306 “medication related events” to a provincial database that tracks adverse events, near-misses and hazards, according to an internal audit completed Dec. 24, 2012, and obtained by the Penticton Western News through a freedom of information request.

Auditors assessed eight of the region’s largest acute care sites and found just 56

per cent compliance with “standard practices and policy,” and identified “multiple opportunities for substantial improvement,” according to the report.

“In internal audit’s opinion, there exists a moderate to high risk of significant patient harm associated with the current medication management practices as observed in selected medical surgical inpatient units.”

The audit did not include Reveltsoke’s Queen Victoria Hospital.

The report lists some breaches auditors uncovered, including: — Medication carts, some of which contained controlled substances, left unattended in many hallways; — Six of eight sites did not waste narcotics according to policy, and some staff asked others to witness narcotics wastage after the fact; — Patient identification and allergy bands at all sites were not checked prior to administration of medication; — At all sites, medications were poured into cups and not labelled, nor were syringes, with the exception of those that were prelabelled by the manufacturer.

The audit cited six factors as the main causes of staff’s non-adherence to policy, such as stress from a heavy workload, distractions and interruptions, plus facility shortcomings like space limitations and technology failures.

Twelve recommendations for improvement are contained in the report, and IHA chief nursing officer Heather Cook said all are “completed or well underway at this point.”

Cook was unable, however, to quantify how much those measures have reduced patient risk.

“I couldn’t even begin to identify (that). I think that anytime medications are involved, it’s never a low risk,” she said.

“It’s a complex process in health care from the moment a physician determines that a medication is required, through all the steps that it takes until a medication is delivered to a nursing station and a nurse administers the medications.”

The audit determined staff at VJH met just 60 per cent of practice standards. The best was Cranbrook’s East Kootenay Regional Hospital, which scored 61 per cent.

Kevin Barry, who sits on the regional executive of the B.C. Nurses’ Union, noted that compliance scores were low across all sites, so “that leads me to suspect the issues are systemic. It’s not related to one facility.”

He also cited a shortage of staff and an increase in the number of very sick patients as factors affecting audit scores.

“In the ideal world, yes, all those standards could be followed. The problem is, in hospitals, you don’t operate in the ideal world,” Barry said.

Visitors thankful for great service Editor, On July 8, as we were arriving at Revelstoke, we noticed our brakes were making noise; metal on metal. Using our GPS we located an auto service garage nearby and called. Donna Van Dyck answered and told us to come right in, her husband Glenn would look at our car. We were very

relieved as the time was 4:30 p.m. and the garage closed at 5 p.m.

Glenn quickly assessed the brakes and Donna made the calls to get the parts to get us back on the road as quickly as possible. The time now was well past the closing time but Glenn and Donna told us not to worry. Parts were to arrive first thing the

next morning and Glenn wuld make it his priority to get the car fixed.

Donna then drove us to our hotel for the night. By 11 a.m. the next morning we were on our way.

We are very grateful for the outstanding service we received at Whistling Wrench Service. Revelstoke is fortunate to have outstanding business people working in the commujnity like the Van Dycks.

Empress of Ireland exhibit focal point of Railway Days Contributed by REVELSTOKE RAILWAY MUSEUM

Canada’s largest maritime disaster occurred May 29, 1914, when the Empress of Ireland – property of the Canadian Pacific Railway – disappeared in 14 minutes in the frigid waters of the St. Lawrence River near Rimouski, Quebec.

1,477 people were on board and 1,012 of them died. This disaster was overshadowed by the outbreak of the First World War. The Revelstoke Railway Museum is pleased to welcome an exhibition from the Site historique maritime de la Pointe au

Père on the Empress of Ireland, the ship brought tens of thousands of immigrants to our shores over eight years before it tragically sank. This travelling exhibition opens at the Revelstoke Railway Museum on Friday, Aug. 16 at 5 p.m. and is only here for two days. Over 10 cities across the country welcome this truly unique exhibition as it travels across Canada this summer.

Through this exhibition on the Empress of Ireland, the Site historique maritime de la Pointe au Père seeks to inform visitors about the history of this CP owned vessel and to reach out to descendants of those immigrants

who came to Canada onboard this ship.

The exhibition includes photographs of the ship and passenger lists from 1906-1914, including the list of passengers on board at the time of the tragedy. A visual stand will showcase the ship in all its 1914 glory, visitors will be able to see pictures of the beautiful ship’s interior as well as a reconstitution of the disaster and rarely seen video images of the underwater wreck.

Visitors will come away with a better understanding of the Empress of Ireland’s important legacy and the fascinating but tragic story of its sinking in 1914.

Revelstoke Museum launches new exhibit on area’s multicultural history Contributed by Revelstoke Museum & Archives

The Revelstoke Museum & Archives welcomes you to the opening of its unique new exhibit “MOSAIC – Revelstoke’s Multicultural Heritage,” on Wednesday, July 31 at 2 p.m. The exhibit explores Revelstoke’s pioneer cultural communities: British, Ukrainian, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and Scandinavian. These and other cultures have contributed to the mosaic that makes up our community and have created a vibrant Revelstoke history. MOSAIC also includes a children’s activity area funded by the Revelstoke Community Foundation.

The Museum would like to acknowledge the funders who made the exhibit possible: the BC Gaming Branch of the Province of British Columbia who issued a multicultural grant, the Columbia Basin Trust, the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance and the Columbia Shuswap Regional

District.

Visitors will also view our recent main floor renovations, including new linoleum flooring, lighting, painted ceiling tiles and fresh paint. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia for these renovations.

These renovations are the beginning of a long-range exhibit planning process. The museum is working with museum consultant Cuyler Page to develop an exhibit plan for permanent and short-term exhibit spaces within the main gallery. The multicultural exhibit opening allows visitors a chance to see and discuss concepts for ongoing exhibit design.

Become a part of our MOSAIC as you learn about Revelstoke’s cultural history, and contribute to our shared experience.

Khaira employees to have case heard at human rights tribunal Alex Cooper

A human rights tribunal will hear about the plight of a group of African tree planters found working in squalid conditions at a camp near Golden, B.C., three years after the camp was discovered and closed down.

A human rights complaint against Khaira Enterprises, the silviculture contractor who ran the camps, was filed by the B.C. Public Interest Advocacy Centre (BCPIAC); it will be heard by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal starting Sept. 30, 2013.

“The human rights complaint is really in our view about the discrimination that we think was at the root of the treatment of these work-

ers that resulted in all the other violations,” said Eugene Kung of BCPIAC. “They’re not separate.

They all stem from the same work conditions, the same work camps.”

BCPIAC has been representing the workers legally since their ordeal began in 2010 when 28 workers, mostly of African descent, were found at a camp on Bluewater Creek, 40 kilometres west of Golden, with no safe drinking water and no toilets. They slept in shipping containers, cleared brush seven days a week for 10-14 hours with minimal breaks and were poorly fed.

One of the tree planters, Santokh Singh Kooner, died of alcohol poisoning at the Canada West RV Park near Revelstoke on June 24, 2010.

The human rights complaint claims the poor working conditions were racially motivated. Kung said the African workers were segregated from non-African employees.

“They were given different living conditions, different food, different work conditions. Just different treatment all around,” he said. “And not to mention verbal and emotional abuse that was often laden with racist language. It’s hard to ignore the fact these guys were vulnerable refugees from Africa played a large role in the abuse they suffered.”

The hearing is set for five weeks and many of the workers will be testifying about the conditions at the camp and the treatment they received. “A big piece for the workers themselves is to have the dis-

crimination they’ve experienced recognized and acknowledged by the human rights tribunal and hopefully have some broader systemic remedies that can make the situation better in the future,” said Kung.

The human rights case is not the only one that resulted from the discovery of the work camps.

In 2011, the Employment Standards Branch ordered Khaira pay the 57 workers $228,000 in back wages. That number has since increased to more than $260,000, said Kung, and less than $100,000 has been paid.

WorksafeBC fined the company $9,122.75 for failing to comply with several health and safety violations, including failing to conduct a risk assessment of its remote work

locations.

As well, Khalid Bajwa, the owner of Khaira Enterprises, is also facing criminal fraud and forgery charges in provincial court.

According to court documents obtained by the Times Review, the two forgery charges allege that Bajwa forged two fire suppression certificate documents, including signatures of a Revelstoke man.

The two fraud charges allege he defrauded Tom Austin, representative of B.C. Timber Sales, and Scott King of Louisiana Pacific Corp.

Both organizations are involved in issuing silviculture contracts to subcontractors like Khaira.

The case is scheduled for a threeday trial in Surrey court from Sept.

10-12, 2013.

Preliminary deal reached for affordable housing funding Alex Cooper

The Revelstoke Community Housing Society is moving forward on a design-build plan for 12 affordable housing units in Southside.

Alan Mason, the City of Revelstoke’s director of economic development, told the Times Review that BC Housing has given preliminary approval for funding the development, but first the society is going to solicit proposals to build the units in order to get the best possible price.

“We have preliminary approval,” he said.

“Basically they like what we’re presenting, but they need more detailed building plans so we can get a more definite cost.”

The deal is more than a year in the making – last May, the housing society announced it was seeking a share of $10 million in funding being put up for grabs by BC Housing and the Columbia Basin Trust.

The housing society submitted a plan for 12 rental units to be located on the Bridge Creek property in Southside. Since then, the project has been slowly moving forward as the two parties have negotiated an agreement on costs, One issue that has had to be dealt with is the cost per unit – construction in Revelstoke is higher than elsewhere, said Mason. “(BC Housing) look and ask why they’re paying more per unit.

“What we are proposing to do to get the best price we can is put out a request for qualifications to as many building companies as we can across the province,” he added.

From there, the housing society will send out request for proposal to interested and qualified companies, who will then submit their plans.

“We’re looking at a design-building model where the construction companies say what they can do,” said Mason. “That might give us a better price.

“Once we have those quotes and we have a proposal that we think will meet our need for good quality housing and a good price point, we will then submit a formal request to BC Housing for the funding.”

The housing society has hired the project management firm MKT Arkle to lead the proposal stage.

Revelstoke RBC celebrates 50 years

Girl guides Shaunacy Alm (left) and Raylin Robinson cut the ceremonial cake for the 50th anniversary of the Revelstoke branch of RBC on Friday, July 26. The two girl guides are flanked by Todd Gladman, manager of financial planning; Thomas Vickers, commercial account manager; Lynne Welock, Revelstoke branch manager; Dale Freschi, regional vice president; and councillor Gary Starling. The branch compiled a great deal of historical information, including old articles, photos and advertisements. They also had a display on the 1967 fire that destroyed the building only four years after it had opened. Ruby Cameron was honoured as the branch’s longest serving client – she opened her account not long after it opened 50 years ago. “Ruby’s been with us for almost the full 50 years that we’ve been here,” said Welock. “Without you and many clients like you, the branch would not be celebrating like we are today.”

This is a conceptual plan of the development put together by the Revelstoke Community Housing Society last year in its initial proposal to BC Housing.

Contributed

Mason said the goal was to build 12 one- and two-bedroom units that would rent out for $500– 700 each. The housing society will likely have to borrow money to fully fund the project.

“In the end, the housing society is going to have a mortgage and we’re going to have to pay that mortgage off,” he said. “The more money we can get from BC Housing, then the lower the rents we have to charge.”

Tenants would have to live and work in Revelstoke and earn below a certain income to rent one

of the units.

Mason said the housing society hopes to break ground at the start of next spring’s construction season.

“We want buildings that look nice, that fit in over there, that people in the neighbourhood would be pleased with,” he said. “We don’t just want to build boxes we can do cheaply. We don’t think that’s good for the community or the people that are living there.”

Sharp will take part in the Cops for Kids fundraiser ride from Sept. 6–16. Along with 24 other RCMP officers, he will pedal about 1,000 kilometres around the Souther Interior.

Christy Clark pitches carbon tax to premiers Tom Fletcher Black Press

Premier Christy Clark is pitching B.C.’s carbon tax to her fellow premiers, bolstered by a study that shows it is reducing fossil fuel use compared to other provinces.

As premiers gathered Thursday in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. for a Council of the Federation meeting, B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak said B.C. needs other provinces and U.S. states to get on board before moving further on carbon pricing.

Introduced in 2008, B.C.’s carbon tax now adds about seven cents to the cost of a litre of gasoline, with comparable taxes on coal, fuel oil, propane and other fuels. Legislation requires that carbon tax revenue be offset by reductions in business and personal income tax, so it encourages fuel efficiency.

The B.C. Liberal Party campaigned in the May election to freeze the rate for five years.

Polak said results so far show it is reducing per-capita fuel consumption without depressing the overall economy, but the province has gone as far as it can on its own.

The study by University of Ottawa law professor Stewart

Study shows recession-related reduction in per-capita fossil fuel use, followed by continued drop in B.C. and rise in the rest of Canada.

Canadian Public Policy

Elgie found that per-capita use of fossil fuels has declined, while it has increased in the rest of Canada.

“B.C.’s carbon tax shift is only four years old, so it is too early to draw firm conclusions, but its greenhouse gas reductions are trending in the same direction as those seen in European countries with more than 15 years of data,” the study says. “Indeed B.C.’s reductions to date appear to be even greater, consistent with the fact that its carbon tax rate is now higher and more comprehensive than most European countries.”

NDP environment critic Spen-

cer Chandra Herbert agreed that the carbon tax is working, but said the five-year freeze indicates the government has lost its leadership position. The NDP is calling for the tax to be extended to emissions from industrial processing such as cement making, which is currently subject to tax only on natural gas or other fuel used.

Polak said some industries are already at a disadvantage because B.C. is going it alone. Other jurisdictions need to put a price on carbon emissions before B.C. can expand the tax or raise the rate further, she said.

Glacier Challenge brings festival atmosphere for 26th year

Glacier Challenge

by Amy Flexman

This year Revelstoke celebrates the 26th annual Glacier Challenge Mixed Slow Pitch Tournament during the August long weekend.

On Friday, Aug. 2, there will be around 90 teams of guys and gals that love to play ball with their entourage of family, friends and fans arriving to the Centennial Ball Fields here in Revelstoke. This has been a tradition each August long weekend that has carried on for 26 years, seeing up to 140 teams participate

each year.

Old friends and family reunite, new memories are made and there is a great sense of camaraderie amongst the teams, fans, vendors, entertainers and Glacier Challenge volunteers.

Each year the number of teams seems to dwindle, as is the trend in a lot of team sport tournaments nowadays. However, whether the numbers are small or mighty in comparison to the past, there continues to be an excellent, high energy group of ball enthusiasts and curious fans and friends who come to participate in the Glacier Challenge.

There are three team divisions – recreational, beginner and intermediate – with each team guaranteed four games and loads of fun.

Teams come from all over B.C. and Alberta and come back year after year for excellent tournament action. This is one of the largest ball tournaments in B.C. right here in Revelstoke.

Last year the champs were Team USA and they are chomp-

ing at the bit for more action this year.

If you wish you were playing and don’t have a team, swing by the community centre and they will put you on a singles list and try to get you on a team that’s short a few players – we always have room for more!

Games start at 6:30–8:30 Friday night, and start up again each day at 8 a.m. until late night. A crowd favourite is the late night games under the Industrial Field lights on Saturday night. Monday morning, the final games are played, wrapping up the tournament by the early afternoon with the championships games.

Updates to the schedules, photos and highlights will be made on the glacierchallenge.com web page and our Revelstoke Glacier Challenge Facebook page throughout the tournament so you can check out all of the action on your smart phone.

Centennial Park is transformed into a camping and baseball massive tailgate party atmosphere with the Revelstoke Ski Club taking care of the camping and taking care of collecting all the empties from the party. The Rotary Club runs the Molson Beer Gardens, serving Pilsner, Coor’s Light, Canadian and coolers for only $4.

In addition to great refreshments the beer gardens also includes a huge line up of music each year to attract everyone to the dance floor after a big day on the field. This year we have a brand new community stage purchased with the help the Rotary Club, Revelstoke Arts Council, Glacier Challenge and Revelstoke Tourism Infrastructure Fund to showcase some amazing live music talent. It’s only $10 to get a wristband into the beer gardens for the whole weekend. Once a lovely Derailers roller derby girl, or loyal volunteers Ralph and Torino slap a wristband on, don’t take it off because that’s your ticket to the weekend entertainment action.

Five Alarm Funk kicks off the entertainment line up Friday night at 10:15 p.m. Saturday night, local favourites Maritime Kitchen Party are on the stage from 7– 9 p.m., and Delhi 2 Dublin, known as the “United Nations of rock ‘n’ roll” hit the stage at 10:15 p.m. to get you up on your feet dancing. Freeflow returns on Sunday night at 9:30 p.m. to bring you their reggae/rock/soul grooves to end off the line up of the weekend.

The Beer Gardens are open to the public so anyone can come down and check out the music, contests and activities. Even if you aren’t a ball fan, there are incredible performers lined up for the weekend. We have reserved 300 pre-tickets for locals to pick up ahead of time at the Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Information Centre here in Revelstoke if you want to guarantee your entry into the gardens for the entertainment line up. You can’t beat $10 for four stellar acts. Exchange your preticket for a wristband at the gate and you’re in for the weekend!

StokeFM will also be adding to the entertainment, live on location, filling the day and early evening with good tunes and updates on the tournament action as well as throwing some great contests in the gardens throughout the day and evening.

So, Revelstoke, get ready for another great year of the Glacier Challenge Mixed Slow Pitch Tournament. See you down at Centennial Park to see some great ball action, grab some food from the vendors, cheer on local teams, meet new people, see entertaining live music and get involved in the spirit of the tournament that has been running strong for 26 years.

If you would like to get involved with the Glacier Challenge Committee in the future please see me (Amy Flexman), festivals & events coordinator at the Chamber of Commerce, or look for her around during the tournament. I would be glad to have you on board for the future!

Thanks to the Glacier Challenge Committee for putting on this amazing event for 26 years.

The incredible tales of Five Alarm Funk Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Five Alarm Funk has spent a decade recording and touring together. They will be kicking off a weekend of music at the Glaicer Challenge on Friday, Aug. 2, at 10:15 p.m.

I spoke to drummer and singer Tayo Branston while the band was in Winnipeg, on its way back west from a cross-country tour that brought them all the way to Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

RTR: How’s the tour?

Tayo: “It’s going fantastic, man.

We’ve had some really, really good response, which is nice because this is our fourth year of touring across the country, and we’re definitely seeing it build. It’s inspirational to see all the people coming out. We’ve had great crowds, good response and pretty much having the time of our lives.”

You’ve been around for what, a decade now?

“We started in 2003, so it’s been 10 years. The progression of the band is pretty wild. Through our albums

and even through our live shows, you can see Five Alarm Funk growing into this kind of monster that we’ve become. A monster on stage and of sound. We’ve been developing our sound. We’ve got a bunch of new material on the road this time. We’re super excited. It’s always fun to play new stuff, and we’ve got a ton of old stuff in our repertoire. We’re having a great time.”

For the uninitiated, who or what is Five Alarm Funk?

“Five Alarm Funk is an all out gypsy power funk explosion of musical mayhem. It has become this savage beast of sound. Not only sound, but of sight as well. Our whole thing for the show – for life in general – is to have fun and be enthusiastic. When you come to a show, you get to see this super vibrant stage show along with this technically kind of insane music. That is what Five Alarm Funk is – insanity, right there.”

What makes you worth of the five alarm designation?

“It is pretty much the hottest funk around. I think it would have to be

show or travel in general?

“That is a really tough question to answer because every night is an amazing new experience when you’re on the road. The things you encounter and the people you meet are so incredible everywhere. It’s tough to talk about this one memorable experience.

“The thing about touring is the whole thing is this giant experience.

I think for any musician who tours, you really have to get it going on. It’s a change in your mental state and a change in your physical state. You can feel the road and you feel the power from all the people you meet along the way. I’m not going to dumb it down to one crazy experience, but I will say the whole experience of touring in general is probably one of the greatest experiences on earth for a musician, or for me, at least.”

If you could play with any two bands, past or present, who would they be and why?

“I got to go with one of our inspirations from the past. A band I’ve seen five or six times – Tower or Power.

They’re the funk inspiration that we get. I’ve seen them so many times and those guys have been around for 50 years now. It’s so wicked to see a band that continues to shred the gnar and constantly knocks people socks off with their music.

“The other one that is also an inspiration of Five Alarm is Frank Zappa. I would say his band in the 1980s, that would be the other show that I would really want to play along with. The funny thing about our music is you do hear some of the funk stuff, but it’s also all this other weird (stuff) going on. That is a lot of the inspiration that me, personally, I got from Frank Zappa. He’s just musically just a genius. His music is so incredible, it’s blowing my mind in so many ways, it’s really what has changed Five Alarm Funk from a funk band into this behemoth of sound. Whatever we want to do, we can do it because really, there’s no boundaries.”

You next album is described as, “as a story involving kidnapping, evil ice-cream salesmen, robots, natural disasters and particle colliders in the centre of the Earth.” Can you explain what this all about?

“It stems from last summer. We had this song We All Scream. It’s a song about this diabolical ice cream man. He taints his ice cream with

1884 Trans Canada Highway, Revelstoke

pyschoactive substances. He lures Five Alarm into his factory and we all go on this giant hallucinogenic trip.

That song was in place, and through the tour last summer, there was all this fantasy stuff going on in the van. We were playing these role playing games. The guys are playing Magic cards and stuff. I don’t play the cards, but one of my things is I like to sit there and think. In my mind I was thinking, these guys are dealing with zombies and monsters and all this fantasy stuff. What if we wrote a song about all these fantasy things.

We wrote a song called Attack, where all these evil beings come up from under the earth. That was the second song.

I’ve always love the idea of a concept album so I started trying to weave a story we could put to all these new songs that we were writing. We took a break last winter for six months and we sat down and said, listen, let’s write a concept album that is totally ridiculous, just like Five Alarm Funk is – totally out there and silly and fun and ridiculous. So we did it.

We sat down – it was me and the guitar player doing a lot of the foundation writing. We thought let’s just go with a totally ridiculous story. The story wasn’t written before all the songs were. We’d write a song and fit it into the story and say where is the story going to go next and what can we do. It’s turned into this massive hallucinogenic trip that FAF goes on due to this ice cream man and his psychoactive ice cream.”

OK... *laughs* “The whole thing for us is just fun. All we’re doing is having fun. It’s fun for us to just sit down and write a song about a giant robot we ride to the crust of the earth and destroy humanity. It’s a big nasty song and you can hear the story in the song. It’s something we’ve never done. We just wanted to have fun with it and do something different,.

It will be released in 2014, I do believe in the spring. We’re going to take our time with this one until its absolutely perfect.”

You can watch the video for We All Scream on YouTube, or on Five Alarm Funk’s website, fivealarmfunk.com.

Grizzlies hire new head coach Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

James Eccles was hired as the new head coach and general manager of the Revelstoke Grizzlies.

Eccles joins the Grizzlies with a lengthy resume as a coach, scout and instructor in leagues including the NCAA, BCHL and BC major midget.

"I talked to the guys he coached with, and they all said he would be a very good candidate for a Junior B," said Lew Hendrickson, the owner of the Grizzlies. "So I just went with a gut instinct, is what it boiled down to."

The Times Review was unable to reach Eccles for an interview prior to press time.

Eccles spent the last two seasons as the head coach of the Kelowna

Rockets of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. In his first season the team finished fourth in the league with a 20-12-8 record. Last year the team finished third with a 26-8-6 record and wound up losing two games to one to the Vancouver Giants in the league finals.

In both seasons he was a coach at the league's all star game, first as an assistant and then as head coach.

He has been an assistant coach with the Penticton Vees and Westside Warriors of the BCHL, and with the State University of New York (SUNY) in the NCAA Division 3, where he was also head coach for one season. He spent time as a scout with the Warriors and the Surrey Eagles of the BCHL; and has been the lead instructor at the Hockey Canada Skills Academy in Kelowna since 2008.

He holds a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology & Sports Management from Kent State University and a Masters of Science in Recreation & Leisure Management from SUNY. He also serves as the director of the Coastal Hockey Showcase, a scouting combine for aspiring junior and NCAA players, and is the founder and CEO of the Advancement Sports Group, a hockey skills development organization.

Eccles is the Grizzlies sixth coach in the past six seasons. The Grizzlies main camp is set for August 23-25.

The team will be playing two exhibition games in Golden on Sept.

7-8, one against Golden and the other against the Glacier Nationals from Whitefish, Montana. Hendrickson said they also hope to schedule one game in Revelstoke.

James Eccles.

THE R ADICAL ISSUE TIGERS IN THE BC BACKCOUNTRY? !

GROSS NATIONAL HAPPINESS SUPER- CLIMBER NANCY HANSEN ODE TO THE LONG LOST TRAPPER LIVING UNDER DIRT

Claire Paradis/Black Press

The new ferry hull built by WaterBridge Steel in Nakusp is now in the water, after a very small snag during the launch. What initially looked like it was going to be a smooth launch for the new boat turned into a one-inch problem that took a day to resolve.

Locals, employees and Ministry representatives watched as the black hull held by a metal grid was pushed by two machines down a series of rails into the water. The first attempt looked good, with the descent looking slow and steady, with a very small ridge of water being pushed up by the steel.

But shortly after the push, the hull in its rigging stopped, and after another attempt, divers were sent in as part of the next effort to coax the million-pound plus steel hull into the water. Two tugs, attached by thick blue rope and a cat attached with cable pulled again, and the ferry reached the water. But not quite deep enough.

The lake level had already dropped an inch too far, WaterBridge Steel owner/operator John Harding told the Arrow Lakes news.

Hydro had started dropping the lake level this morning, and by the time the hull hit the water, the water was

one inch too low to allow the ferry to float out of its steel mooring.

Harding was philosophical about water levels, saying that Hydro's "hands are pretty much tied."

"They've got a job to do to meet American demands and produce energy," he said. "They did cooperate with us and we appreciate that."

With some innovative thinking, the one-inch problem was solved.

"We eventually pulled it off the grid," said a tired by pleased Harding, who recruited the Shelter Bay ferry to help the two tugs manoeuvre the hull over its one-inch hump and into the water, with no damage to the beautiful black paint on the hull. "Everyone did a great job.

We've got a great crew here."

Harding told the Arrow Lakes news that phase two is now beginning, which includes mechanical and electrical construction on the ferry. "There are no days off now until Christmas," he said. Once construction is complete, sea trials should be finished in February, and after that training of crew will begin, said Harding.

But WaterBridge is hoping this will be the beginning, not the end of shipbuilding in Nakusp.

"We're working with ministry to try to establish a shipyard here," Harding told the Arrow Lakes News, saying the benefits were obvious.
