On logging roads
The maintenance of logging roads is a mixture of responsibility between the province and the industrial user, depending on their designation. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review file photo
The Times Review looks into how forest roads are maintained, and what changes are coming up Alex Cooper

Nash Masson makes his way up the Sale Mountain logging road during the Martha Creek Meltdown on Saturday. The Scotsman finished second on the climb, just behind Peter Knight, but then posted the fourth fastest downhill time to win the enduro race in an amazing 1:57:17 – 12 minutes faster than Knight. Nick Quinn won the men’s downhill race in 24:25, only four seconds back of Marty Schaffer’s course record. Elinor Brown, the sister of Casey Brown, won the women’s DH race in 32:39, while Meghan Tabor won the women’s enduro in 3:20:46. 36 people took part in the race, which was fundraiser for the Revelstoke Cycling Association and the Live It! Love It! Foundation. Alex Cooper photography
The road up to Frisby Ridge has a new name – the Sledhalla Forest Service Road. It’s a name that was given to it by the government, who assumed control of the road this year, and with it, responsibility for maintaining it. With the popularity of the Frisby Ridge cross-country trail, and the expanding network of snowmobiling trails, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, converted the road into a Forest Service Road, meaning the government pays for the upkeep. This year, according ministry spokesperson Brennan Clarke in an e-mail response, it has meant $25,000 spent on road improvements, including brushing, ditch improvements, culvert upgrades and grading. More work is planned for next summer. The move is good news for the Revelstoke Cycling Association. It means the road to the much publicized and heavily-used alpine biking trail will be maintained even when no one is logging up there. It’s a cost the association can’t afford on its own.
“That’s outside of our financial capabilities,” said Keith McNab, the president of the RCA. Backcountry roads are the lifeblood of B.C. They snake into remote reaches of the province, accessing areas that would otherwise be untouched. There are more kilometres of backcountry roads than paved highways. They are usually built by industry, looking to access remote forests and mine sites. Then, they get used by the public, who use them for access to the backcountry. There are several categorizations for backcountry roads. Forest Service Roads are the main ones – the major trunk roads that are maintained by industry or the government, depending on how it’s being used. Offshoots are built by industry and used until they’re no longer needed, then they are deactivated. A logging road will build a road to facilitate harvesting activities, and when they’re done, they’ll put water bars across or remove a bridge the road to prevent erosion and block access. The future of resource roads has been the subject of debate in recent years, ever since the B.C. govern-

Over the past week, Revelstoke RCMP raided a Wright Street residence where they seized counterfeit US money and counterfeiting equipment. Police arrested four individuals aged in their 20s and 30s, all with local ties. Revelstoke RCMP Sgt. Kim Hall said some of the individuals were known to police. Three males and one female have been arrested and are awaiting bail hearings. Police allege the individuals were using photocopiers to print US $20, $50 and $100 notes, some of which were passed at local businesses. At least two photocopiers were involved. A total of about $500 was seized. Police also seized two modified assault rifles in searches of two residences and at least one vehicle. The .22 calibre rifles had been modified to shoot automatically, police said. Since charges have not yet been approved by the Crown, the RCMP were reluctant to answer many questions about the ongoing investigation. Police wouldn’t give specifics on the addresses where the raids took place, how the alleged counterfeiting ring was uncovered, or exactly how sophisticated the operation appeared. Police believe the counterfeiting operation may be connected to other locations where counterfeiting occurred outside of Revelstoke. Sgt. Hall said more information may be publicly available later today, Sept. 13. The Revelstoke RCMP are appealing for public help or further information and can be reached at 250-8375255, or through Crime Stoppers.
South Korean man dies in Trans-Canada crash Times Review staff
A South Korean man died following a car crash in Mount Revelstoke National Park on Saturday. The crash happened on the Trans-Canada Highway near the Skunk Cabbage Boardwalk, about 20 kilometres east of Revelstoke, at around 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 14. RCMP arrived at the scene to find a 2013 Hyundai Accent had left the highway and crashed down into a shallow river. The 58-year-old, who was the lone occupant of the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene. His identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Sewer replacement construction downtown
Hydro rates going up, ‘but not 26%’
Aaron Orlando
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
Notes from the Sept. 10 Revelstoke city council meeting City crews will be digging up the roadway in the vicinity of the City Furniture building downtown over the next couple of weeks. They’re replacing a ruptured sewer main that runs underneath the building and re-routing it around the building. City public works manager Darren Komonoski said the work should take about two weeks, with paving to follow after those two weeks. The construction will happen in phases around the building; Komonoski said neighbourhood business owners were consulted.
City wants laneways cleaned up The city’s public works department is asking residents to clean up their laneways. City public works manager Darren Komonoski said firewood stacks, compost heaps, car parts, gardens and random garbage are clogging up the laneways. “I think we’re kind of losing the war there,” he told council. He hoped residents would take it upon themselves to do some tidying up, saying it was an expensive undertaking for city staff to tackle the issue. What about those back-alley gardens? Aren’t they better than a noman’s land? City CAO Tim Palmer said if the city needed to get emergency vehicles down the laneways gardens and other debris can get in the way. What about alleyways that aren’t plowed in the winter? Palmer said the city maintained contingency plans to clear the snow away rapidly if needed, and that debris in the laneways can impede the clearing. Council briefly discussed ways
Energy minister Bill Bennett Revelstoke City Council wants back-alley gardens, compost bins and firewood storage like these ones removed. But hey wait! Aren’t we supposed to be reducing our reliance on imported food, diverting waste from the landfill and cutting down on non-renewable fossil fuels?

Council sweeps street sweeper decision into closed meeting What’s the decision on the new, $205,000, 2013 street sweeper truck to replace the current 2005 model? Unfortunately for the taxpaying public, there’s a vacuum of information at this point. The decision was set to be discussed openly at Revelstoke City Council’s Sept. 10 regular meeting, but it was pushed into a closeddoors ‘in camera’ meeting at the last minute. Council regularly discusses issues in camera, but the private meetings are usually reserved for sensitive items. The in camera rules are laid out in the B.C. Community Charter. Usually, it’s sensitive things like

hiring, disciplining and firing staff, legal matters, labour relations, police matters and sensitive personal information. So, what’s top secret about buying a truck? In response to Times Review questions, city CAO Tim Palmer listed two sections of the Community Charter; they cite the following reasons: “the security and property of the municipality,” and “litigation or potential litigation affecting the municipality.” He also said a third section could “possibly” apply. It lists, “negotiations and related discussions respecting the proposed provision of a municipal service that are at their preliminary stages and that, in the view of the council, could reasonably be expected to harm the interests of the municipality if they were held in public.” The decision on whether or not council opted to buy a new street sweeper truck will likely emerge in a few weeks, but until then, we’ll have to wait.

VICTORIA – Energy Minister Bill Bennett has denied reports that BC Hydro rates are poised to go up more than 26 per cent in the next two years. Bennett was peppered with questions Wednesday after one of BC Hydro’s unions released an internal BC Hydro document suggesting a 19 per cent rate increase next year and another six per cent the following year. The compounding effect would produce an increase of 26.4 per cent over two years. Bennett said the document was prepared for a ministry committee working with BC Hydro on electricity rates, and has been revised three times since the leaked version was created in August. He said the committee has found ways to reduce the rate increases needed to cover extensive construction and other costs for the utility, but he wouldn’t put a number on the prospective rate increases. The work includes identifying 19 independent power projects whose power purchase agreements are to either be cancelled or deferred. NDP energy critic John Horgan said BC Liberal interference has led to the current situation. “Expensive private power contracts, billions in Hydro debt hidden in deferral accounts, a sidelining of the independent B.C. Utilities Commission, an 84 per cent cost overrun on the Northwest Transmission Line,” Horgan said. “There is no question that the Liberal government has mismanaged BC Hydro.” Bennett acknowledged that the government’s 2011 intervention to cap rate increases below four per cent for two years has increased the pressure on today’s rates. BC Hydro had been proposing rate hikes of more than nine per cent for 2012 and 2013. “I think we are feeling the impact of decades of difficult decisions by successive governments, Socreds, NDP, BC Liberal,” Bennett said. “All of us have difficulty looking the ratepayer directly in the eye and saying, by the way, we’re going to increase your rates by X.”

Adventure tourism proposals dominate planning commission agenda Aaron Orlando

Eagle Pass earns temporary use permit for Airport Way lodge Heli-skiing lodges and the Revelstoke Adventure Park proposal were the topics of discussion at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Advisory Planning Commission meeting in Revelstoke on Sept. 11. The meeting lasted well over two hours; here’s a brief recap. Eagle Pass Heliskiing earned an endorsement from the commission for a temporary use permit at their temporary lodge at 4785 Airport Way. Eagle Pass has been offering lodging and heliskiing tours at the rural mansion developed by Revelstoke Mountain Resort partner Robert Powadiuk, but they needed a temporary use permit following a complaint. Newsome said the heliskiing company is not making any material alterations to the land while they operate there in the coming few seasons. Eagle Pass owner Scott Newsome said they plan to develop another lodge at a property in the coming years, but need the location for the time being. Although the commission approved the temporary use, the permission comes from the Agricultural Land Commission.

Revelstoke Adventure Park earns non-farm endorsement
Nelles Ranch rezoning application turned down
Illecillewaet Development Inc., the parent company of the proposed Revelstoke Adventure Park, also earned approval from the commission for a non-farm use of the portion of their proposed adventure park that is in the B.C. Agricultural Land Reserve. The RAP adventure park is proposed for the Greeley area, east of Revelstoke on the TransCanada Highway. Consultant Bob Holtby spoke on behalf of Illecillewaet, saying much of the land was marginal, at best, and was suitable for limited hay production. Talk around the table following the meeting was of a new, second phase of the Revelstoke Adventure Park that had just been submitted to the Columbia Shuswap Regional District. CSRD senior planner Dan Passmore told the Times Review the Illecillewaet Development company is submitting a subdivision application for a parcel of land near the RAP proposal, just on the north side of the train tracks. The Times Review asked for a copy of the subdivision application, but Passmore said it wasn’t yet available for public view.

Escalating costs are council’s elephant in the room Editor, Hats off to Councillor Gary Starling for bringing one of council’s elephants in the room to the table (Revelstoke Fire Rescue Services report too hot to touch, News, Sept. 4). The issues of skyrocketing costs of Revelstoke Fire Rescue Services and what needs to be done. This department’s budget had increased 66 per cent between 2006–2010. At this time the seventh full time position was filled with the understanding that this would significantly reduce overtime. It is evident that this did not occur. It is now 2013 and costs continue to escalate with no resolve. The current schedule system, which had validity in the far distant past, cannot accommodate the demands being placed on it in the last five to six years. This is the time frame for the beginning of the medical first responder program. Councilor Starling nails it when he states that the province continues to download on to the city. Council seemingly puts up little resistance to this issue. In a perfect world, to fund
L e tte r s this shortfall is admirable, but in the real world, this is not affordable for the citizens of Revelstoke. Councilor Welock’s comment about fire trucks manned with volunteers waiting until a career firefighter arrived is disconcerting. Our volunteers dedicate themselves to this community and put in many volunteer hours to learn and hone their skills. They put their lives on the line. The history of our fire department shows that the majority of our firefighters came up through the volunteers. The point of the comment Phil, was the issue of entitlement to overtime. It is no wonder there seems to be a shortage of volunteers, when right from the political level there seems to be a bias between career and volunteer. Since 2011 when the suggestion of doing an evaluation of Revelstoke Fire Rescue Services was introduced, it has met resistance from the mayor and some councillors. The issue seems to be what terms of reference are to be used.
Fees set for smart meters Jeff Nagel Black Press
It won’t be cheap for opponents of wireless smart meters to keep their old analog electricity meters. BC Hydro says it will charge up to an extra $35 per month – $420 per year – on the roughly 60,000 smart meter holdouts for manual meter readings starting in December. Those who don’t want to pay that much have two cheaper options. They can accept a wireless smart meter at no charge. Or they can request a smart meter with the radio transmitter disabled for a onetime $100 charge and additional $20 per month fees starting April 1. Either way, those who opt to stay off Hydro’s smart grid will pay more. BC Hydro has sent letters to households
that have refused smart meters outlining the options, along with a form to send back making their choice. Those who make no choice will be assigned the $35-a-month default option. “If you do not confirm your choice, BC Hydro will not exchange the meter at your home, and the monthly cost for keeping an old meter will be added to your BC Hydro bill,” states the letter from Greg Reimer, executive vice-president of transmission and distribution. The proposed charges must still be approved by the BC Utilities Commission. Hydro officials say the fees offset the expense of adding infrastructure so the grid works as planned and the costs of manually performing services now automated by smart meters. BC Hydro says those who keep old analog meters aren’t guaranteed that will be an option
Does not value for money and affordability comprise a significant portion of the terms of reference? It is now at the table and I hope the people of this city will follow it and speak up, for at last it has been brought forward. Council has never determined what are the city’s core responsibilities are and continues to stumble. One does not have to look far to small-town California where many small cities have had to declared bankruptcy because of debt levels. They thought that they could afford many services and needed many things – they where wrong. We are not there yet, but our debt level is the highest in the history of Revelstoke. Three financial focus groups, a Chamber delegation and the city’s own financial director have told this council that the level of spending is not sustainable. Deal with the current elephant on the table. There are many more. Bob Melnyk, Revelstoke indefinitely. Crews will replace analog meters that break or have expired accuracy seals as long as the existing stock of old meters lasts. If that supply runs out, or for people who move to a new home, the only option will be to accept a smart meter, either operating wirelessly or with the transmitter turned off. Opposition group Citizens for Safe Technology calls the planned fees “extortionary” – noting they add up to as much as $25 million a year – and doubts regulators will be able to justify them. “Why should we pay not to have something harmful put on our homes?” the group said in a message to supporters, recommending they not return the forms. “Hydro believes that this announcement will push more customers to accept what they do not want or need. Many are understandably upset and confused by this latest ultimatum.” More than 1.8 million smart meters have been installed, leaving fewer than four per cent of Hydro customers without one.

Pot decriminalization petition starts Aaron Orlando
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
At Spice O’ Life Emporium, Revelstoke’s sex shop, they come in all shapes and sizes; they’re lined up on the shelf for all to see. Basic colourful plastic cylindrical ones, big ribbed glass ones, imported ceramic ones and compact ones you can tuck discreetly away. Yes, ‘The Most Tasteful “Sex Shop” in the West’ stocks a lot of bongs. I visited Dinah Collette’s Orton Avenue shop by invite last week to learn more about Sensible BC’s cannabis decriminalization petition. Collette’s one of several Revelstoke signature gatherers, but as the owner of a sex shop/cannabis supply shop, Spice O’ Life is a de facto headquarters in Revelstoke. What’s up with the Sensible BC cannabis decriminalization campaign? I met with provincial organizer Dana Larsen in Revelstoke in July, where he explained the details. Here are the basics: Like the HST referendum, the Sensible BC campaign is mounting a referendum campaign. Starting on Sept. 9, they have three months to collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts. If they are successful, Elections BC will hold a cannabis decriminalization vote, by mail like the HST referendum. The wording of the referendum focuses on decriminalization, not legalization. Basically, it would prohibit police in B.C. from prosecuting possession. Sensible BC sees it as a first step towards eventual decriminalization. Back at Spice O’ Life, I ask Collette about the marijuana scene in Revelstoke she experiences as a vendor. You’d be surprised, she tells me. “I’ve sold vaporizers to ladies in their 70s,” she said. Marijuana smokers come in all shapes and sizes. “Everyone says the law is stupid,” Collette summarizes. She feels the police focus should be on hard drugs like crack and cocaine, and that prosecuting people who use a natural plant is wrong. “It shouldn’t be a crime; it shouldn’t be illegal,” she said. Collette said the younger crowd who use cannabis recreationally don’t seem to get too involved in the debate. But her older clients are more prone to talk about it, especially those who smoke for medical reasons. She complained it was difficult to get certified as a medical user from local doctors, saying you have to go out of town to get a Health Canada note from a doctor, which involves a lengthy, bureaucratic application process. (The Times Review spoke with a doctor representing the Selkirk Medical Clinic in July. He confirmed that local doctors tend to follow the advice of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. In a professional standards and guidelines statement, the CPSBC says the medical benefits of smoked marijuana are unproven and based on anecdotal information. Mar-

ijuana has over 200 active ingredients which can have positive or negative effects, and negative interactions with other drugs. Proven alternative analgesics are readily available. The CPSBC policy goes as far as saying Health Canada’s medical marijuana prescribing regimen does’t take into account the physician’s requirement to follow “evidence-based protocols.” That doesn’t mean some local physicians haven’t signed the papers in some instances, but don’t expect to show up with an ingrown toenail and limp away with a signature.) Collette said the result is the potential criminalization of Revelstokians who have given up on the Health Canada system; others seek out doctors in the Okanagan who will fill out the Health Canada forms more readily. A few months ago, the marijuana legalization debate wasn’t on the table in Canada. The ruling Harper Conservatives preside over the federal Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, and have in fact stiffened marijuanarelated criminal sanctions. Federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s admission that he has toked up since he was elected MP has reignited the debate in recent weeks, signalling the issue could be on the table next time Canadians head to the polls. What’s the mood in Revelstoke, I ask Collette. Revelstoke has a deep conservative streak, she acknowledges. Marijuana users are stigmatized by some, called “hippies, low-lifes and useless people,” she said. “But that’s not the case.” They come from all walks of life, she said, but stopped short of elaborating – after all, she does have to maintain client confidentiality. Sensible BC petition organizer Dana Larsen said the qualifying drive over the next few months is their highest hurdle. If just one riding fails to achieve 10 per cent, the whole thing’s off. Collette is one of several petition-
ers in Revelstoke. As of Sept. 12, four days into the campaign, she had just under 10 signatures. With a population of about 7,500, Revelstoke will need to contribute about 750 signatures to fill its quota in the Columbia River–Revelstoke riding. Colette said the target is 15 per cent, to be safe.

Sometimes you’ve got to wear it on your sleeve. Scottish Canadians are the third largest ethnic group in Canada, with upwards of a fifth of Canadians thought to have some Scottish ancestry. But you might not know it these days because they don’t wear kilts around all the time, like Vancouver-based Celtic punk rockers the Real McKenzies. They’ve kept true to their punk and Scottish heritage fusion over their 20-year career, pumping out up-tempo ballads and stomping punk songs that explore Celtic roots and history. It doesn’t matter if you’re not part Scot. Grab a pint, throw your arms around your mates and wail along with their from-the-heart anthems and you’ll fit in just fine.

Cities in revolt over new recycling costs Jeff Nagel Black Press
Landfill in Delta fills with urban waste, prompting stricter recycling regulations. Cities across B.C. are crying foul over the rollout of a new recycling agency that the provincial government has put in charge of blue box pick up. And Metro Vancouver mayors want B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak to intervene to keep their curbside recycling programs from being thrown into chaos from the changes coming next year. Multi-Material B.C. (MMBC), an industry stewardship group made up of major retailers and producers, is set to take responsibility for collecting and recycling packaging of all sorts by next May as a result of new provincial regulations. It has promised to let interested municipalities continue to run their own recycling operations by acting as contractor, if that’s what they prefer. But the cities say the prices offered by MMBC are far too low to cover their costs and that other terms are unreasonable, starting with a take-it-or-leave-it signing deadline of Sept. 16. “I’ve never seen a contract come through as one-sided as what they’ve done with this,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said. “The idea you’re going to come in and replace our programs and take over recycling is out of line – most municipalities are really concerned about that.” Cities fear they’ll lose money if they continue providing the service their residents expect under the pricing structure MMBC has offered for recyclables. They can opt to decline a contract and MMBC will contract recycling pick up out as it sees fit, but mayors fear that may be at reduced service levels, with public anger directed to city hall. With those choices unappealing, many cities are expected to instead pick a third option for now that lets them keep running the blue box recycling system without compensation from MMBC. Keeping the status quo is less than ideal, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said, because the industries responsible, not cities, are supposed to pay the costs to collect and recycle packaging under the government’s plan. Effectively, their residents will pay twice – once on their property taxes and again at stores because retailers will build their costs of supporting MMBC into prices. Both mayors predict many cities will reject the deal as offered now and demand action from provincial government ministers at next week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, which opens on the day of MMBC’s deadline. Prince George has already refused MMBC’s contract offer, as has Coquitlam, where Mayor Richard Stewart warned in a letter to Polak that “Coquitlam council is gravely concerned that no reputable collector would concede to these conditions and this would inevitably lead to an unacceptable degradation of the existing quality of service.” One objection is MMBC’s requirement that loads of recyclables contain no more than three per cent contamination of other materials. Several cities say their blue box pick up runs above that level of contamination, meaning MMBC can hit them with heavy fines of $5,000 per truckload. Port Coquitlam estimated that could add up to $3 million per year in their city, although MMBC says fines will be capped at 24 per

He said cities that don’t like how the system unfolds can terminate their contracts without penalty on six months notice, or opt for dispute resolution. Langdon also defended the short notice for cities to sign up, saying timelines are tight to identify collectors and line up processors in time for a May 19 launch.

The estimated cost of MMBC’s system is $110 million but Hinds warns that could run higher, especially if it leads to inefficient parallel systems being run by MMBC, some cities and perhaps newspaper groups. “The sad part about this is you’re going to recreate a whole new system,” Hinds said. “You’re going to dismantle a system that works. You’re not going to save the taxpayer any money. And you’re going to spend $100 million in industry money that’s going to be taken out of the pockets of consumers. And at

Canadian web tourism pioneers relocate to Revelstoke Canada web tourism promoters plan to make Revelstoke their home base for adventure tions. Their main user countries are Germany, Japan, China as well as the U.S. and Canada. The websites are advertising supported; Greg says they’ve got about 1,200 advertisers, including hotels, motels, B&Bs, campgrounds and tourism operators. For the pair, adventure is a big part of the experience. They’ve got two Jeeps with trailers and have logged plenty of miles. “We wanted to go first hand and visit and research and write,” Greg said. They’ve travelled to virtually all major parks from coast to coast, camping out and taking in the experiences themselves, assembling photos, stories and resources. So, why the move to Revelstoke? The brothers see a lot of potential here, and they wanted to be a little more central as their web network increasingly expands eastward. They have a major design overhaul coming in the new year. They’re still planning to expand their website network and keep it national. Both brothers say there will be some overlap in their promotional efforts;

My first encounter with Greg Girard was a wave and a smile from his passing Jeep. He was on his way down Mount Revelstoke from a hike to Eva Lake; I was biking up. Last weekend I sat down with Greg Girard and his businesspartner brother Colin Girard to find out a little more about CanadaEh.net. The brothers just relocated to Revelstoke, bringing with them a combined 40 years of experience with their online adventure tourism website network, and general tourism industry experience. Originally based on Vancouver Island, Colin saw the potential for a web tourism business in the mid 1990s, and started a regional tour site. Greg joined his brother several years later, and since then they’ve built a national network of websites that network into the national site (like ehcanadatravel.com, bceh.com, kootenayseh.com, et cetera.) Their network is used by primarily foreign travellers researching and planning vaca-

being located here will benefit Revelstoke. For example, Greg’s already posted his story about that hike to Eva Lake. They also hope to help contribute to local tourism efforts. “We’ve seen every tourism trick in the book across the country,” Greg said. Our interview meanders into local tourism in general; like most tourism experts in town, they feel Revelstoke is missing out on a lot of passing motorists because there isn’t a good
interface with the highway. Motorhomes or vehicles with trailers don’t have a great place to pull over, learn about the community and gather information. Even if you don’t catch them this trip, it’s a crucial first step to building multi-night stays in the future. But I digress. For now, the brothers continue to work on their business, meet and greet. Most importantly, the Mount Washington locals are looking forward to the snowboarding season.

School board votes to allow alcohol at theatre Terms and conditions for sales still need to be determined Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
A wine and a show. At the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre, that will be possible after the Revelstoke Board of Education agreed to allow alcohol to be served at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre, but only under certain strict conditions. At a meeting of the school board last week, a divided board voted to amend its policy banning alcohol in schools, but only under certain conditions. What those conditions will be is still to be determined, but a report presented to the school board gives an idea. The report by theatre manager Miriam Manley makes the case for allowing alcohol at the theatre. She wrote that the theatre was losing bookings because of the inability to serve alcohol at shows. She cited the Banff Mountain Film Festival and the Snowed In Comedy Tour as two events that would have booked at the theatre if they could sell alcohol. Manley estimated the theatre loses one booking each month due to the alcohol restrictions, costing the theatre about $3,600 in income. Her report set out guidelines for the serving of alcohol: — No alcohol could be served before 7 p.m. — A senior staff person at Revelstoke Secondary School would need to sign off on an event where alcohol is served in order to prevent students from being in the foyer — The Revelstoke Arts Coun-

cil would be responsible for licensing — There would be a roped-off area for drinking — Only ticket-holders could buy drinks — Drinks could only be served 30 minutes before a show and during intermissions — A designated driver program would have to be implemented. Board members were asked to vote if the district should amend it's no-alcohol policy. Trustee Mauro Morrone was the only one to outright oppose serving alcohol on school property, saying he couldn't see any educational enhancement from changing the policy. "I acknowledge the criteria put forth to control the conditions to minimize alcohol exposure, but in my opinion the only true and most responsible way is to prevent alcohol from being allowed and served on school property," he said.
Bryan Dubasov said he wasn't opposed, as long as there are conditions. Elmer Rorstad said he was in the "middle-of-the-road" on the issue. Both Jeff Nicholson and Alan Chell agreed to amend the policy, saying the board has to take the interests of the community in mind. "We received $3 million for the theatre as a Neighbourhood Learning Centre program which was designed to be an integration between the school and the community," said Chell. "I think what they're asking for is a fairly minor request in that its limited to a short period before a show, a short intermission and not at all after the show." In the end, the board voted to amend the district's no-alcohol policy and asked superintendent Mike Hooker to formulate an official policy amendment for it to consider.

Ecole des Glaciers doubles in size in year two Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Revelstoke’s French school has nearly doubled in size in its second year, a result of new admission policies and the lack of a French immersion program in the Revelstoke School District. Ecole des Glaciers has 20 students from kindergarten to grade three this year, up from 12 last year, putting the school ahead of projections and filling up two classrooms at Arrow Heights Elementary – one for kindergarten and grade one, and the other for grades two and three. “We were hoping and we were expecting that it would grow – maybe not by that much in the second year,” said Mario Cyr, the superintendent of the Francophone School Board of British Columbia (FSB). “But we knew all the work that had been done by parents, they worked really hard, and we had the demograph-
ics for the next five years and the projection was that we would obtain 40 in the next five years.” Ecole des Glaciers is benefitting from a change in admission requirements that has allowed parents who don’t speak French as a first language to send their children to the school. Last school year, the FSB changed its admission policy so that children whose grandparents were francophone could attend the FSB. They also allowed parents who proved they were fluent in French and were able to support their children through French school to enroll their kids. The result has meant that some parents who were disappointed in the Revelstoke School District’s decision to not pursue a French immersion program have now enrolled their children at Ecole des Glaciers. “Yes, the eligibility criteria, the fact that we’re allowing families that have a French back-
ground ... It brought the majority of the new students to our school because of that,” said Cyr. “Certainly francophones that were waiting and hoping for a French immersion program, when they heard that would not happen, they decided to come with us, which they think they should have done regardless.” As well, some parents who were able to prove their fluency in French were able to enroll their children after meeting the school board’s language requirements. The board wants to make sure parents will be able to help out their children as they go through school. “For our board, being engaged in the French community is very important,” said Cyr. “They have to be fluent in French, and if the child is not fluent yet, the family has to show they will be much involved in the school and the community.”

Quilting for Calgary
Christie Page of Calgary, Alberta sends a special thanks to Revelstoke resident Linda Walford, who created a special quilt to help out the victims of the flash flooding earlier this year. Page’s home was flooded with almost six feet of water in June, forcing her family to flee. In the weeks following the flood, as Page tried to put her life back in order, a volunteer approached her with blanket created through the Quilting for Calgary campaign. She received these quilts below, embroidered with the names of their creators: R. Woodroff from Princeton, B.C. and Linda Walford of Revelstoke, B.C. Page writes: “I hope you can find a way to print a thank-you to the two sweet people who have done a random act of kindness that really means a lot for my family.” Here, Page’s young children relax on the quilts they received from the Quilting for Calgary campaign. – Aaron Orlando Photo contributed

Chart-topping Aussie hip-hop trio Bliss N Eso plays Traverse Circus in the Sky debuted at No. 1 on Australian ARIA charts; Sydney artists enjoying time on top of Oz hip hop scene Aaron Orlando
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
Australia’s reigning hip-hop kings will make a stop in Revelstoke this week when they play Traverse Lounge on Sept. 19 – likely one of the bigger acts to play town this year. The Sydney trio of U.S.-born Bliss (Jonathan Notley), Aussie MC Eso (Max MacKinnon) and DJ Izm (Tarik Ejjamai) are on a Canadian tour focusing primarily on the west coast. Here in B.C., they’ve earned a following amongst hip-hop aficionados and made inroads on the outdoor festival circuit, focusing on extreme-focused sports festivals, such as the 2007 Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival in Whistler. The trio are touring their earlysummer release Circus in the Sky, their fifth studio album that seeks to cement their position on top of the down under hip-hop scene. Bliss N Eso have been active since the early
2000s, and achieved breakthrough success in 2010 with their platinum album Running on Air. Their singles Down by the River and Reflections got significant rotation in Australia and in hip-hop markets abroad. En route to Canada, the trio stopped over in Afghanistan, where they played for Aussie troops stationed there. Check out their Facebook page for recent posts and you’ll see they’re living up to their reputation as a wild live show that gets the crowd into it. Circus in the Sky debuted number 1 on the Australian Recording Industry Association’s album chart. It features a collaboration with hiphop legend Nas, and a selection of U.S. and Australian MCs like Pez, 360 and emerging Perth rapper Drapht. The artists revel in their current success, repeating the mantras of chasing your dreams, living for the moment and refusing to conform to concepts of adult responsibility – and just plain partying.

Railroader switches career track into acting life ‘It doesn’t make any sense to me. It just fell into my lap.’ Aaron Orlando
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
Dean Eadie is that random guy, experiencing some random luck. Laid off from CP Rail, the Revelstoke native has landed himself a role on a Calgary TV series – quite randomly. You see, he developed an iPhone app (Rocky Mountain Gameworks’ Vowels Gone Wild app), and he knew an actress in Calgary where he was living. She was working on a TV pilot, and they needed a computer game for a scene. So they called him up. ‘Can you put your app onto a TV screen?’ they asked him. Yes, he could. So, while hamming it around on set, he landed a bit part. “They needed a cowboy char-
acter to play in a poker scene,” he said. With his foot in the door, he landed a part as several recurring characters. The joke is, he’s that random guy who keeps popping up: “Oh, it’s that guy, that random guy in every scene.” Eadie isn’t an actor and doesn’t have any training. He just hammed it up and it clicked. “It doesn’t make any sense to me,” Eadie said. “It just fell into my lap.” I sat down with Dean Eadie and fellow actress Jill Robinson in Revelstoke last week. They were here on a trip to Eadie’s family retreat, that rustic old waterfront cabin on its own island at the end of Three Valley Lake – you know the one. The TV show, called Go Fish,
is set to air on Shaw Channel 10 on Oct. 1, with six episodes shot so far. The low-budget, independent comedy features a cast of basement-dwelling twenty-somethings striving for success and failing epicly. It mixes slapstick with realism – think Friends meets Three’s Company, I’m told. Jill Robinson is determined to will the show to success. A close cohort of the show’s creator Zulie Alhahas, Robinson tells me it’s just bound to get picked up by CBC or Global for national distribution. At our interview, she contrasts Eadie’s checked on checked casual attire, wearing a strategically-cinched, short purple dress, and loose-fitting cowboy boots. Robinson oozes ambition; for
notification of project to protect airport outflow wetland BC Hydro would like to advise the public of a planned project to place rip-rap on a Columbia River erosion channel bank downstream of the mouth of the Illecillewaet River in an effort to protect the Airport Slough wetland on the Arrow Lakes Reservoir flats below Nichol Road. The work will start when reservoir levels are suitable, likely in late September or October 2013. The rip-rap placement is expected to take about three weeks. We ask that recreational users of the area be mindful that heavy equipment will be working in the area. Machinery will access the site from the road on the south side of the Illecillewaet River past the Selkirk Saddle Club. Traffic control measures will be in place as needed to protect public safety. Columbia River flows, snowmelt, and reservoir operations continue to enlarge a 115 metre long Y-shaped erosion channel into the flats adjacent to the old Arrowhead highway that runs from the south side of the Illecillewaet River mouth to Machete Island north of the Revelstoke airport. The intent of this project is to see whether the rip-rap can prevent the channel from continuing to move towards the existing Airport Slough wetland. The project was recommended by a consultative committee with local representation that evaluated a number of potential wildlife enhancement projects identified by the Columbia River Water Use Plan and is expected to benefit bird and wildlife habitat. For more information about this project please contact: Jen Walker-Larsen
Dean Eadie and Jill Robinson’s new Calgary-made indie TV show Go Fish is set to premiere on the Shaw Channel in the Calgary market on Oct. 1. The Revelstoke-born and raised actor started out on the railways before stumbling into the role. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review
a lot of the interview she’s selling the dream of a big TV hit – that I’m talking with soon-to-be household names. “It’s going to be a really big show for Calgary,” Robinson explained. “We are trying to do something people have been trying to do a lot of time. Alberta actors get to be the stars of the show.” They’re using local actors and behind-camera talent, trying to develop an all-Canadian show. The ensemble of mostly female actors portray young urbanites struggling to make a go of it. “The scenes are so reality,” Robinson explains. “A lot of the things that happen to the girls are things that have happened to Zulie or myself. “It’s relatable. Its so relatable to young people today.” As we stroll out to take some pho-
tos, Eadie shows me some shots from the set; it looks like it has relatively sophisticated production. On the way to the river, Eadie points out his childhood home – right across the street. His grandmother, Lil Edwards, was the first alderwoman in Revelstoke. They ran the hostel that is now the Same Sun. He’s officially moved out of Revelstoke, but he visits a lot. With October around the corner, we’ll see how the show fares – possibly coming to this market. In the meantime, you can follow them on Facebook (there’s two other TV shows called Go Fish, so it takes some searching), or check out their premiere party at the Grey Eagle Casino in Calgary on Sept. 28.

Cops for Kids donates to Revestoke youth Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Two local youth were recipients of gifts from Cops for Kids when the annual bike ride pulled into Revelstoke Thursday afternoon. The 10-day ride sees RCMP officers pedal through the Southern Interior. It started on Friday, Sept. 6, in Osoyoos and passed through Grand Forks, Castlegar, Nelson, and Creston before arriving in Cranbrook yesterday, where the officers put on a charity fashion show. On Sept. 12, they enjoyed a
rest day and traveled by bus from Cranbrook to Golden and then onwards to Revelstoke. In Revelstoke, Const. Seanan Sharp of the Revelstoke RCMP presented gifts to Aleesha Kaler and James Higginson at an event outside Cooper’s. “This is the highlight of the ride – meeting people who we helped and allowing us to help them out,” said Sharp. Kaler, 18, has Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood, a very rare neurological disorder that can cause anything from mild weakness to complete paralysis of one or both sides of the body
for varying lengths of time. “She has a very rare disorder. A lot of doctors don’t know what it is,” her sister Courtney said. “It’s been a big struggle to get care for her.” Courtney said Aleesha was a visual learner. To help her, Cops for Kids donated an iPad and a printer. Higginson, 9, has autism. A shy grade-four student, he received a iMac Pro that will help him as he goes through school. The 21 riders were off to Salmon arm next, then Kamloops and Vernon before finishing the ride in Kelowna.

“It was one of the funnest turns of my life,” he said. “I knew right away it was a magazine shot, guaranteed,” said Long. Landing on the cover of Powder is often regarded as a pinnacle achievement for photographers and skiers. While I spoke to Long and Cochrane outside the Modern, about a halfdozen people came up to congratulate them on the achievement. Long said he knew right away the

Revelstoke Grizzlies defenceman Wade Cline winces as he blocks a shot by Luke Gordon of the Kamloops Storm in the Grizzlies’ home opener last Friday. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review
Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
If the Revelstoke Grizzlies want to win some hockey games this year, they’re going to have to figure out how to stay out of the penalty box. They also need to figure out how to score some goals. The Revelstoke Grizzlies opened their regular season with a pair of losses at home last weekend, falling 4-1 to the Kamloops Storm on Friday and 6-1 to the Summerland Steam on Saturday. Only 221 people came out to the home opener on Friday to watch the Grizzlies fall to the Storm. Revelstoke fell behind early, giving up three goals in the first period. Kamloops struck first when Bobby Kashuba scored on a short-handed breakaway near the end of a sloppy Revelstoke powerplay at 15:14 of the first. Rourke O’Briain made it 2-0 only 26 second later after deflecting a wrist-shot from the point past Revelstoke goalie Aaron Brandoli. Kashuba struck again at 4:18 of the period when he forced a turnover and scored another breakaway goal. Revelstoke’s only had a few scoring chances – once when Eric Austin was sent in alone and later when Riley Creighton was stopped on a par-
tial break. The Grizzlies got on the board four minutes into the second period when Damin Devlin tipped in a Wade Cline point shot for a power play goal. That was the most offense Revelstoke could produce as Brandoli kept his teammates in the game, coming up big on several occasions. Revelstoke had two good chances in the first half of the third, first when Devon Hascarl was stopped on a twoon-one, and later when Hascarl and Chad Thomas produced a shorthanded chance that they just couldn’t get past Kamloops goalie Ben Giesbrecht. Kashuba completed his hat trick at 10:19 of the period, scoring on a beautiful move right in front of the Grizzlies net. Brandoli kept the game close, stopping Brett Watkinson on a penalty shot and making several other big saves, but Revelstoke was unable to produce any more offense, for a 4-1 final. “Brandoli played amazing that night,” said coach Darren Naylor. “He stood on his head or the score could have a been a lot worse.” On Saturday, Revelstoke hosted Summerland at the Forum. The teams traded goals in the first period, with Kendell Wilson scoring for Summerland and Kenny Batke notching his

Revy Riders hosting big event to promote local dirt biking scene Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Sometimes, bad news can turn good. For Revelstoke dirt bikers, that is the case. Five years ago, they found themselves without a home when their track in the industrial park was closed by city hall. That move spurred them to form the Revy Riders and get organized. They secured land tenure at the end of Westside Road, built a new motocross track and have kept on going since then – adding an endurocross track and almost 50 kilometres of trails to the mix. Now, to show off their hard work, the club is hosting a family and friends fun ride this weekend – Sept. 21 and 22. "It's to showcase our whole area in a non-race environment," explained club president, the always enthusiastic Chris Pawlitsky. The club has a big weekend lined up. It starts Saturday morning with a kids riding camp. In the afternoon, there will be a motocross ride school taught by Brock Hoyer, one of the top dirt bikers in Canada. Victoria Hett will be giving lessons on trail riding. "She's a world class competitor for cross-country," said Pawlitsky. There will be guided trail rides all day long and Beta motorcycles will be on hand to loan out demo bikes. At 4 p.m. the action moves to Glacier House Resort, where Riegan Sieg will be giving a freestyle motocross and trial exhibition. There will be a beer gardens and barbecue at the resort, which will wind into a bonfire and then the Braaap 13 snowmobile movie premiere. On Sunday, there will be a family and friends fun ride around the Revy Riders trail network. There will be A & B loops set up for people to try and to showcase the entire trail system. Pawlitsky said he's expecting many people to come from out-of-town for the weekend and he hopes the leave spreading the word about Revelstoke. "Now that we have a product we can start showing it off," he said. The club, which has 115 members, has spent about $100,000 on its trail network this year; it recently finished building a seven-kilometre beginner trail and is working on a 15-kilometre expert loop. "These trails are some of the best in Western Canada," he said. "People realize it so they have no problem joining the club. It gets more volunteers out and more money to get signage. The money goes directly to that and maintenance."

Natural Resource Road Act being drafted from page 1 ment announced its intention to create the Natural Resource Road Act in October 2011. The act is expected to create one set of guidelines for building, maintaining and deactivating resource roads throughout the province. Currently, resource roads are governed by provisions found in 11 different laws, with different rules for different industries. A road primarily used by logging companies is built to different standards than one built for mining. There were several months of consultation in October 2011, and a website was established, but there’s still no word on when the act will be introduced. “They want to figure out a new way to pay for these roads,” said NDP forestry critic Norm Macdonald. “I don’t know if they’ve come up with any better solutions.” A discussion paper released by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations in 2011 set out the goal of the act: “The Act will provide common requirements and responsibilities regarding construction, maintenance and use of resource roads in a manner that is reasonable and fair for all concerned with due consideration for the public interest and the environment.” The general idea has been a userpay system, where a designated maintainer is identified for each road. Since the proposed act was announced in 2011, concerns have arisen over access. Recreationalists have feared that companies will gate roads and industry have wondered what the standards for road construction would be and how that will affect their costs. Clarke said the drafting of the NRRA was underway and drafting of regulations was planned for next year. Macdonald said he had not heard anything about the act As it stands, the government is responsible for maintaining access to

Call 250-837-4667 or email circulation@revelstoketimesreview.com
all locations listed on Sites and Trails BC website. High public-use roads are given priority, said Clarke, notably ones that provide access to recreation sites and rural communities and residences. The government budgeted $19.7 million for FSR maintenance in 2013/14, including $81,500 in the Selkirk Resource District, which includes the Revelstoke area. Maintenance on FSR’s with industrial use is assigned to the users through a road use permit. “This allows them to use the road in turn for conducting all routine maintenance commensurate with their industrial operations,” said Clarke. Earlier this summer the road up Frisby Ridge was degrading rapidly so the work being done is welcome. Last week, the Sale Mountain Forest Service Road was graded, making the drive to the summit much easier and accessible to most vehicles. Still, There are no set standards by which the road needs to be maintained. “Maintenance requirements on Forest Service Roads are determined at the local level as a function of numerous factors including what recreational access objectives have been identified, level and type of use, available funding, environmental protection, user and public safety,” explained Clarke. Resource roads that aren’t classified as FSR’s only need to be maintained as long as they are being used. There is no obligation for the licensee to maintain them for public access. Roads that used to access great trails are now unpassable to anything but off-road vehicles. McNab mentioned an old trail that used to access the summit of Mt. Macpherson from the Three Valley Gap area. Since the road was de-activated, access to the trail has been mostly lost. “There’s tons of recreation on resource roads all over the province, and how much does the government put in to maintain it?” he said. “It’s a question province-wide.”

Abbi Vigue named Revelstoke Grizzlies assistant coach “She was taking notes the first two games. Her views with what was going on were pretty much bang on.” Vigue isn’t the first female assistant coach in the KIJHL – we found evidence of at least one other – but she is part of a very small group at least. She hopes to help the players with their conditioning and to share with them some of the wisdom she has
night, he said he talked to a few guys and asked if I wanted to be assistant coach. “I said I’d give it a try. I have two young kids, they obviously come first, but he was great with it, he understood and here I am.” Naylor said he spoke to a few hockey people in town who spoke highly of Vigue. “They said she was a hell of a hockey player and she knows the game,” he said.
gained playing high-level hockey. What did she think of the team after Friday’s 4-1 loss to Kamloops? “There’s great potential, for sure,” she said. “We’re just going to have to gel together a little better and understand how coach Darren is asking how to play. We’re starting fresh and getting the jitters out.”

Abbi Vigue, a product of the Revelstoke Minor Hockey program and a mother of two, was named the assistant coach of the Revelstoke Grizzlies. Vigue, who still needs to finish some paperwork before she can stand behind the bench, was hired by coach Darren Naylor on Thursday evening, a day before the regular season started. She could be seen sitting in the press box, taking notes throughout the weekend. “I still think it’s kind of a shock. It’s out of the blue,” she said after Friday’s game. “I’m very excited but it is shocking, today.” Vigue played boys minor hockey
growing up in Revelstoke before attending the North American Hockey Academy and Plattsburgh State University in New York. In 2003, she played for the Vancouver Griffins as part of B.C.’s entry at the national women’s hockey championships and she played for the Kamloops-based BC Outback. Recently, she has coached the Revelstoke girls hockey team but she said she hadn’t thought too much about a coaching career. “I’d like to but I didn’t expect this to happen.” Vigue was first approached by Naylor to run power skating lessons for two hours every Monday. “I talked about what he expected and what he wanted and I said I’d give it a try,” she said. “He phoned me that

Grizzlies face Kelowna, North OK this weekend from page first of the season for Revelstoke. The rest of the game saw Summerland score five unanswered goals for a 5-1 win. Reid Brown, Alex Fraser, Aaron Durant, Josh DaCosta and Cooper Holick all scored as the Steam outshot the Grizzlies 40-28. After the weekend, Naylor spoke about the team’s play. He said his late start with the team has hurt recruitment, making it hard to bring in offensive players. “What we’ve done we’ve had to put guys in roles they’ve never been in before,” he said. “I’m putting guys on the power play that have never played there before.” He did acquire two players from the Columbia Valley Rockies – Briar McNaney and Spencer Barlow – that he said should help the offence. The former is a skilled 20-year-old while the latter was a top scorer with the Calgary North Stars hockey programs. He is also looking to deal TJ Christensen for some more offense. “I think if we get all that done, it
should give me four to five offensive guys,” said Naylor. The other issue he spoke about was the number of penalties the team took. In both games, the Grizzlies sent a steady stream of players to the penalty box. “The penalties we have been taking aren’t even the kind that are aggressive,” said Naylor. “They’re just stupid tripping and slashing. It’s driving me insane. “I think as we improve our depth and we become more competitive it will become less of an issue.” On the positive side, Naylor praised the play of Brandoli and said he will be starting the bulk of the games in net moving forward. He also singled out Devon Hascarl and said the team’s penalty killing was strong. This weekend the Grizzlies host the Kelowna Chiefs on Friday, before facing the North Okanagan Knights in Armstrong on Saturday. “We’ve got to work on everything,” said Naylor. “I like our defensive zone coverage – it’s pretty good, but we have to do more offensively.”
