New official bus stops keep ski shuttle on Victoria

Dazzling designs on display

Merchants’ lobby to keep ski shuttle route on Victoria Road results in plans for new bus stops this season AARON ORLANDO

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Resort Shuttle will continue on its Victoria Road route this season, after lobbying by stakeholders averted a switch to a safer Third Street route as recommended by senior City of Revelstoke staff. The route change was recommended by the city’s engineering and public works department at a Sept. 26 meeting, and stakeholder engagement was planned to look into a route change. Since then, city officials heard from business owners who wanted the route to continue on Victoria Road because the bus rider trade is important to them. Alpine Village Mall manager Merv Krywa said the morning crowds that ride the busses are important customers for the businesses in the mall, as well as others along Victoria Road. To deal with safety concerns, new, official bus stops will be placed along Victoria Road. New bus stop signs and procedures will be put in place to try to keep bus riders from lining up on the sidewalk too close to passing traffic. “We would have signage telling people to keep back from the curb,” said City of Revelstoke economic development director Alan Mason.

Quest for new skateboard park moves back to Kovach Park ALEX COOPER

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The push for a new skateboard park is once again heading back to Kovach Park after Centennial Park was deemed unfeasible, but Southside neighbours aren’t too happy. The Columbia Valley Skateboard Association (CVSA), which is leading the push for a new skateboard park in Revelstoke, went in front of council on Tuesday to once again make the case to re-develop the facility in Kovach Park. Also presented to council — a stack of letters from nearby residents opposing the expansion. Matt Rebelo, a helicopter pilot and home owner near Kovach Park, represented the CVSA in front of council.

His first order was to rebrand the facility – calling it a youth park rather than a skateboard park. “If you go down to the park at any point you’ll find lots of kids on bikes, lots of kids on scooters, rollerbladers, as well as skateboards,” he said. “I feel it limits the view of what this facility actually is by calling it a skateboard park. “I feel it’s mostly kids under the age of 16 that use it. I’m going to call it a youth park. It’s a more fitting name for it.” He provided background on the CVSA’s efforts over the years. The group has been back and forth in their search for a new location. Their initial efforts to build a new facility in Kovach Park were rebuffed by neighbourhood residents and instead the

CVSA was offered a space in Centennial Park. “It has since been deemed by the city’s engineer Mike Thomas that it’s unfeasible to use that area for this facility due to the excavation that needs to happen and the weight of the concrete on top of the landfill that’s in Centennial Park,” said Rebelo. “We’re back to the drawing board on location.” Rebelo presented a chart to council outlining the pros and cons of different parks – Kovach Park was regarded as the best location for a new skateboard park, he said. The plan is to expand the 16,000-square-foot park by 25 per cent – the equivalent of adding 10 extra feet on three sides, he said. He presented a slideshow of skateboard

facilities in other cities, saying they attract people of all ages. “We’ve been at this for five years and we’ve been spinning our wheels on this location thing,” said Rebelo. “Without a location we can’t apply for grants, which is the main source of funding for a facility like this.” He added the CVSA missed out on a round of provincial grants that included a $400,000 grant that went towards a skatepark in Nelson, B.C., because they weren’t shovel-ready. “I ask council to make a decision in the next couple of weeks on this matter so we don’t lose out on more grant opportunities.” Council’s decision won’t be easy due to opposition from several Kovach Park neighbours. Several e-mails to council expressed similar opinions —

that a new skateboard park in Kovach Park would disrupt the balance that exists there.

LOCAL RESIDENTS OPPOSED TO KOVACH PARK Josie Woodman, the chair of the Southside Neighbourhood Group, attended Tuesday’s council meeting. In an interview with the Times Review afterwards, she explained the group’s opposition. “Kovach isn’t available,” she said. “We’ve got a site plan, it doesn’t include changing the skatepark.” She said they had been working on a site plan for the park for the past

A proposed 21-property ‘hobby farm’ subdivision on the shore of the Illecillewaet River in the Greeley area got a lukewarm response from the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District’s Area B Advisory Planning Commission (APC) on Oct. 10. The proposed subdivision sits between the CP Rail tracks and the

Skateboard park from page 1 year and had just completed the process – and it didn’t include an expanded skateboard park. The plan includes washroom facilities, seniors exercise equipment, a better playground and more trees and tables. The main concern is that an improved skateboard park would attract more use, and therefore more noise and would push out other user groups. “It was going to continue to be a multi-generational, multi-use place and we feel that’s its essence and that’s its core,” said Woodman. “I think a large skateboard park – which is another 25 per cent – it would dominate the park and we are sure that’s not quite what we had in mind.” Both the CVSA and the Southside group feel frustrated by the process. The CVSA has been looking for a feasible site for five years and the Southside group feel like Kovach Park is being deemed the default location, regardless of their opposition to it. “They’re saying Centennial Park can’t be used because of whatever,” said Woodman. “I think we’re saying Kovach is off the list too. You already gave us a site plan, you already told us what we’re doing there. I don’t understand that. There’s lots of contradictory stuff there.” Rebelo, responding to questions from council, responded to neighbourhood concerns, saying the expanded skateboard park wouldn’t change the nature of Kovach and it would still draw kids and families. “Once it’s developed it’s going to be seen as a great place for families and all sorts of people,” he said.

Parks committee discusses location Wednesday morning, the skateboard park issue was raised at a meeting of the Parks, Recreation and Culture committee. Sitting at the table were Laurie Donato, the director of Parks and Recreation; Mayor David Raven, councillors Gary Starling, Tony Scarcella and Linda Nixon; Area B director Loni Parker, and four members of the Columbia Valley Skate-

boarding Association. Donato went over a list of possible locations and the pros and cons of each one. She touched on both city parks and private lands. The list included Mount Begbie and Mountain View schools, unused CP Rail property, land designated for affordable housing, and every city park in the core of Revelstoke. When it came down to it, the conversation turned to Centennial Park versus Kovach Park, with a clear appetite to make sure the former was unfeasible before turning to the latter. The main issue with Centennial Park, Donato said, was the presence of an old landfill underneath. The exact location of the landfill is unknown and an expensive study would have to be undertaken in order to build. Even if the skateboard park isn’t directly on top the landfill, it would still be on top of fill material that was laid down when the park was built. “Any investigation we’re going to do of that area is going to cost a siginficant amount of money,” she said. “That’s just the first step in determining if the land is feasible for development. That’s a large expense on a fiftyfifty chance.” Kovach Park faces localized opposition but that could be addressed by working with the neighbours. “Issues with conflicting uses can be addressed through site planning,” she said. The unanimous opinion at the meeting was to at least get an idea of what’s beneath Centennial Park and to find out how much a geotechnical study would cost before making a decision. “We don’t know that isn’t a landfill and we need to research that,” said Nixon. “I know it’s going to cost some money. I know it’s going to delay things a bit.” Her thoughts were echoed by director Parker, who said the committee should make a recommendation based on facts. “Maybe we should do a paper investigation to begin with and if we can’t find anything on paper then move forward and do some drilling,” she said. “The city should know what’s under there, whether there’s a skateboard park being put there or not.”

Mayor Raven brought up the cost issues. How much is the city willing to spend on studying the site to find out if it’s suitable or not. “Whether it’s part of a fill site or a landfill site they both have engineering concerns,” he said. “This is a large concrete structure being put on top and they both have challenges.” Aaron Orlando, a director with the CVSA, said it was doubtful the organization could get money for a extensive study to see if Centennial Park could be used. The committee asked to get a staff report back as soon as possible so a decision could be made before the end of the year.

City engineer lays out issues The big question to emerge from all this is what exactly is underneath Centennial Park? I spoke to Mike Thomas, the city’s director of engineering, to find out. Unfortunately, he replied, no one really knows. There was once a landfill there, but the exact location is unknown. The part of the park that sits on the old landfill, versus the part that sits on straight fill is not documented, as far as he can tell. The best he’s been able to find so

far is a staff report from 2001 that only provided anecdotal information from former city employees. “This report in 2001 does not in any real detail describe the full extent of areas that were used for landfill activities down there,” said Thomas. The report identifies where the landfill was, but not in any real detail. It doesn’t loook like any environmental work was done at the time, said Thomas. “It appears to have been a desktop study of all the issues and some anecdotal work,” he said. “I don’t believe they did any field work in 2001.” When the landfill was covered up there was nothing regulating the closure of landfills and no documentation was made of the exact boundaries of the landfill. Bob Melnyk, a former city parks foreman, said in a letter to the Times Review the site designated for the skateboard is on top of fill, and not landfill. Even then, that could still pose problems depending on what exactly was used for fill; it is thought the fill consists of stumps and old cars, amongst other material. “It looks like best efforts were made to clean up the site and provide playing surfaces and make it safe for use,”

said Thomas. “Placing fill material down doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily placed in a manner that it’s suitable to place a large structure on. That’s where we’re at — for some direction on what that cost would be. What would be required to proceed with that? “From a staff perspective we believe it’s prudent to raise these concerns before any money starts getting spent on the site that may impact the cost of investigations and ultimately the cost of construction of the facility in that location.” How much will it cost for a geotechnical study? Thomas estimated a low end of $15,000 but “it might be a lot more,” he added. It would require boring several holes through any fill material until you hit the ground proper, and would need sign off from a qualified engineer. “Spending that money should be directing a decision you will make,” he said. “In that sense if there’s appetite to do this study, it will help make the decision on Centennial Park.” *** Disclosure: Times Review editor Aaron Orlando is a director with the CVSA and has recused himself from reporting and editorial directing on the skatepark development process.

work on landscaping plans for its site on Wilson Street. The complete plans also include a zeriscape garden, small outdoor patio and walkways that would connect Victoria Road to the Columbia River path via the RVAC. “The dream is for it to happen next year,” said Jackie Pendergast, the manager of RVAC. “We just need funding and permission.” Ross said the new garden will

complement the existing one outside the Revelstoke United Church and will provide more space and larger plots for people to use to grow fruits, vegetables and herbs. The new garden will be wheelchair accessible. She said some of the plots would be income generating. The NCES received the $5,000 donation from TD Bank as part of the branch’s 50th anniversary cel-

ebration on Friday. The branch had cake, coffee and other snacks on hand; and several members of senior management travelled to Revelstoke for the occassion. Charlene Roddick, the branch manager, pointed out that when the branch opened on Oct. 11, 1963, you could buy a pound of coffee at the Shop Easy next door for 69 cents.

Economic development director: Fast bus route promotes safety by keeping riders on bus, out of cars Bus routes, from page 1 Mason oversees the bus service. He noted a well-utilized bus service improves traffic safety because it takes private vehicles off the road: “I think one of the big safety factors on the bus is the fact that you’re getting probably 10,000 cars off the road in the winter.” Mason advocated for the continuation of the Victoria Road route, saying it’s the fastest route, which in turn promotes ridership. Mason said the side streets are just too slow. “It slows it down. People will only take the bus if it gets them up to the hill in a reasonable time.” He said the busses had travelled on side streets several seasons ago, including a stop in Grizzly Plaza, but despite best intentions, snow removal couldn’t keep up, and the bus was damaged trying to manoeuvre around windrows. He also said proposed alternate routes had safety downsides, such

as slippery hills between Farwell and downtown. Mason said the new bus stops will cost about $10,000, and the money would come from the tourism infrastructure budget, including cost-sharing with the Revelstoke Accommodation Association. Mason noted, as far as he knows, the bus and its riders hadn’t had an accident on Victoria Road in six seasons. He added the buses had flashing stop lights and bus stop procedures would be reviewed. Back at the Sept. 26 planning meeting, the City of Revelstoke’s administration and engineering departments’ views were clear: the city could face legal exposure if someone was injured. City engineering director Mike Thomas said the new, defined bus stops, new training procedures for drivers and perhaps new flashing lights on the bus, will suffice. “Ideally, bus stops would be outside of the travelling lanes, either in pull outs or parking

lanes; however it is possible to permit these stops through signage defining the exact locations,” Thomas said. “Overall, given limited route options that support the principals of a convenient, fast and frequent service, the continued use of the three stops on Victoria Avenue will be safer than in previous years.”

New third bus One more new Revelstoke Resort Shuttle bus will be in operation this season, bringing the total to three. Mason said some changes are planned to improve the service. During peak times, some shuttles will not return all the way to the origin point at the Sandman Inn. Instead, they’ll return downtown to pick up skiers to better managed demand at the mid-point of the route. In addition, in the mornings, some busses will take a direct route back to the starting point, instead of following the slower return route through downtown.

City of Revelstoke survey gets big response Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

It turns out many Revelstoke residents are interested in sharing their opinions and feedback on city services. As of Friday, Oct. 11, 851 had started to fill out the City of Revelstoke’s ongoing customer service satisfaction survey, and 550

surveys had been completed. The survey, which can be found on the City of Revelstoke’s website, is open until Oct. 18. It asks respondents for feedback on services provided by various city departments, and also asks for feedback on service level cuts. At Revelstoke City Council’s Oct. 8 meeting, mayor David

Raven said he was pleased with the response. “It makes it statistically sound. [There is some] very good commentary coming back in,” he said. “I’ll be digesting that and reading through it all, as well as staff, in the near future. Hopefully, we’ll have some clear direction.”

Independent power project in city limits faces public process Project drawing water from Moses Creek, Beattie Creek referred to city for consultation Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Notes from the Oct. 8 Revelstoke City Council regular meeting. A proposed independent power project on Moses Creek in the Westside Road area will likely face a public process when it applies for rezoning to locate a portion of the project’s infrastructure within city limits. “I believe that where the power generator would be is within city boundaries, but a lot of the headworks and the penstocks are not, so it would be inter-jurisdictional,” said mayor David Raven at council’s Oct. 8 meeting. Council was responding to a referral from Moses Creek Power Inc., who sent out a project development plan for their 4.0 MW project that will divert water from Beattie Creek and Moses Creek to

However, Starling said, despite its downfalls, it would be an economic generator: “On a whole, they do create employment, so I would probably support it. There is definitely an issue with this longstanding agreement they have, and it needs to change, but that’s not something that can be decided in these council chambers.”

Council agreed to a request from the Ukranian-Canadian Civil Liberties Association to erect a memorial plaque in Revelstoke. Proposed locations include the

Revelstoke Museum or the pathway leading to Mount Revelstoke from near the Revelstoke Railway Museum.

generate power. Council referred the item to city staff and the city’s development committee for further investigation. “We have referred it to staff to clarify what stage it is in,” mayor David Raven told the Times Review. “At that time you would discern which activities and responsibilities the city would have with respect to this proposal. The city council or others may have other opinions may have other opinions that are outside of the actual legal responsibilities of the city, which would be zoning and development permits and things like that.” At the council table, Coun. Tony Scarcella asked for a motion to support the project in principle, but didn’t get a seconder from the council table. Coun. Gary Starling expressed mixed views on the project: “They do create a lot of employment. I do have an issue with this longstanding agreement … that Hydro has with all these small operators,” he said. “They are paying exorbitant amounts for hydro that’s produced by these projects and that is really the only reason that makes these projects viable, otherwise they would be dead in the water. I would support Hydro expanding the Revelstoke Dam rather than all these small projects that tear up the countryside.”

City council supported a drive to erect a plaque commemorating a short-lived, First World War-era internment camp in Mount Revelstoke National Park in 1915. At the request of council, Revelstoke Museum and Archives curator Cathy English appeared at the Oct. 8 meeting to explain the history of the camp. It was a road-building camp in place from September to October, although some activity continued until December. The camp met with an only-in-Revelstoke fate: It was abandoned because excessive snowfall prohibited work on the roadway. “It was a short-lived camp,” English said. “The city was actually quite anxious to have a camp in the community because it was quite an economic driver.” The camp held about 200 prisoners and had 75 guards. The prisoners were connected to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, part of a national concentration camp program that interned “enemy aliens” in 27 camps across Canada. According to English’s presentation, 8.579 male prisoners were interned in 27 work camps, many of them in National Parks. English said only 3,138 could be cor-

Let’s fix our brightest tourist signs! Editor, After reading your article on planned tourism signage upgrades, (Highway, city tourist sign overhaul planned, News, Oct. 9), I felt compelled to add my views on this topic. As you stated in your article, there are a lot of people driving by our front door, and proper signage is an excellent way to lay out the welcome mat for these folks. However, all of the signage in the world welcoming the world to our community will be for not until we address the negative signage adorning the gateway to our city that is keeping many people moving right on by. The signage I am referring to are the big, beautiful, well-illuminated signs that are on all of our service station properties advertising our gas prices. It is a simple marketing fact, that if you desire to draw people in, you do so with a universally required commodity at a hot price with great signage. Gasoline certainly fits the bill as does the signage that advertises the prices, however, at $1.38 per litre, Revelstoke is way out in left field with the pricing aspect. A drive 20 minutes down the highway will fetch you gas at $1.31 per litre as is Sicamous just 45 minutes away. An hour drive to Enderby can sell you gas at $1.27 per litre. That’s 11 cents per litre less for an hour drive down the highway. Come on! Until the obscene gas prices are corrected in our community, people will continue to drive right on by regardless of the signage proposed. I realize that the local merchants do not set the prices, however if enough of our citizenry filled up as much as possible while in Sicamous or Enderby, the people who do set the prices would get the message, and stop this nonsense of gouging us at the pumps. Signage is important to draw more people into our city from the highway. Let it start with the ones we

A thank-you to Good Samaritans and bike helmets Editor, Last Monday, I had a very sudden fall off my bike just as I rounded the corner onto Front Street after coming off the

Big Eddy Bridge. My helmet definitely saved my head from serious injury. Fortunately for me there were a number of drivers waiting to cross the bridge who witnessed my accident. I personally want to thank Chelan Morton and her partner and their dog for coming to my aid. They were very kind and I gratefully accepted their offer to drive me and my bike home – even though it was well out of their way. Thank you to all the others who also offered assistance. It is so reassuring to know that Good Samaritans abound in our midst. I was back on my bike again after only one day and thankfully all is well yet again. Josie Woodman, Revelstoke

New book looks at gardening in Revelstoke through eyes of seniors Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

A few years ago I received a call from Donna Hannah, who wanted to show off her massive daikon radishes. I made my way to her house on Fourth Street and found myself entering the most amazing garden I had seen to that point, with row upon row of fruits and vegetables that are too numerous to list off. I ended up running an entire photo spread. Hannah’s garden is one of 30 being featured in Mountain Harvest: Revelstoke’s senior gardeners share their secrets, a new book being put out by the North Columbia Environmental Society. “There are expert gardeners in our community whose health is falling or they’re passing away and I think it’s really important to preserve their knowledge,” said Laura Stovel, who wrote the book based on interviews with 37 gardeners in Revelstoke. Hannah’s story is similar to many of the seniors featured in the book. As a little girl growing up in Salmon Arm she and her sister would go door to door selling fruits and vegetables. Later, her family moved to Albert Canyon where they ran a dairy farm. They would send bottles of milk on the early morning train and the empties would be returned in the afternoon. “For most of us seniors that have

good gardens, we probably all had a garden when we were very young,” she said. The 144-page book, which was designed by Carly Moran, features profiles on everyone who was interviewed, as well as gardening tips they provided. It also provides an agricultural history of the area. Marilyn James speaks about the Sinixt First Nations harvesting in the area, while several former farmers talk about what it was like farming before the flats south of town were flooded. “They tell very similar stories of selling their produce,” said Stovel. “There’s a lot of that history that’s in the book in the well.” Stovel spoke about a few of the people who were interviewed. She mentioned one man who never went to school, yet is “an engineer of the greenhouse,” with a wood stove to heat it and a complete irrigation system that captures rainwater. She mentioned Ken Sakamoto, whose family farm was confiscated by the Canadian government and his family placed in an internment camp near Sandon during the Second World War. Johnny Peluso talks about picking and selling wild oregano as a child. Rhonda and Oly Brunetti show their process of making wine. “We wanted to interweave the history into this book and make it both really interesting with the profiles and make it a how to,” said

Stovel. “It’s the secrets of the gardeners. It’s got a lot on how different gardeners approach gardening.” I asked Hannah about her approach and what advice she had. She gets started with transplants in her greenhouse in January and starts working the soil when the snow melts. She said she makes sure

Correction: In the print version of the story Revelstoke highway, city tourist sign overhaul planned (News, Oct. 9), we stated as many as six million vehicles are believed to pass by Revelstoke on the Trans-Canada Highway on an annual basis. In fact, we intended to say some estimates put the number of people in the vehicles that pass by at six million. We regret the error. The error prompted us to get an official, updated estimate from the Ministry of Transportation; we are still awaiting the result of that request. Information available on the Ministry of Transportation website puts the annual vehicle count at a counting station near Albert Canyon at approximately 1.75 million, although that number will require further context. Look for an updated number in stories about the ongoing process to upgrade tourist information signage in Revelstoke.

In fact, he has been in the past but, isn’t currently. In a mental lapse, we confused him with Revelstoke skier Sean Cochrane, who recently snagged the Powder Magazine cover in a photo by Bruno Long, as reported in the Sept. 18 Times Review. We regret the error.

When a new show is set up at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre, the biggest and most striking piece often goes on the back wall, above the dais. At the new show by the Mt. Revelstoke Quilter’s Guild, that honour went to Jill Leslie, who’s large and dazzling quilt encompassed the white wall. The quilt showed an intricate landscape design of mountains, forests, wildflower meadows and fishfilled rivers. My first reaction was that it was a Revelstoke landscape, but in fact it was meant to evoke the town of Sisters, below the Three Sisters mountains in Oregon. Leslie and her sister went to the town’s famous quilt show one year and they both bought the same kit. The plan was to work on it together whenever they could. Five years later, they were still at it. “At Christmas we decided to divide it all up and finish it,” said Leslie. “I knew this show was coming and my goal was to finish it for this.” The result is a brightly coloured quilt that evokes a true mountain landscape. The many, many pieces had to be intricately sewn together. “It’s paper-pieced. For one of these, there’s a piece of paper,” she explained, pointing at the quilt. “You do it in reverse. You stitch on these lines on the paper and then you peel the paper off ad this is what the front looks like.”

Once it was all pieced together, Linda Walford did the stitching work. “It was a lot of work but I’m really pleased with it now that it’s done,” said Leslie, who had been quilting for 20 years. Leslie’s was one of several dozen quilts hanging on the walls or from the ceilings at RVAC. I also spoke to Diane McKay about her quilt, called Shadow City. The design featured several columns that faded from darker to lighter shades and back again. It was based on a design by Kristy Zacharias but McKay chose all the patterns. “It’s picking out all the fabrics that is the hardest part. To get them all to blend together,” said McKay. “ Once you get started on it you just follow the pattern One of the most interesting aspects is the quilting, that was done by Chris Leithwood. The

stitching was designed so that when you turn it over, a pattern of butterfly’s appears on the back. The last person I talked to was Eleanor Hills, who’s quilt featuring a scene from the Serengeti I photographed several times from different angles. It featured a bright sunset, with a giraffe and a tree silhouetted in the foreground. “The part that was the most difficult was the black – it was an applique,” Hills said. “You had to stitch around each piece with the black. It was a heavier fabric and if I wouldn’t do it the same if I were to do it again.” The quilt hangs above her fireplace at home. The show by the Mt. Revelstoke Quilters Guild runs until November 1. Visit the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre website for opening hours.

Hydro formally applies for extra fees for smart meter refusers Tom Fletcher Black Press

BC Hydro has formally applied to the B.C. Utilities Commission for approval of extra fees for people who refuse to use the utility’s wireless electricity meters. BC Hydro’s application details costs expected for staff, vehicles and equipment for manual collection of meter readings, and adjusting the smart grid software and hardware to compensate for nontransmitting meters. It also estimates the cost of extra checks for electricity theft in areas where mechanical meters remain. Portable “check meters” are to be

deployed to find unexplained power losses in those sections of the grid. “These check meters are $2,000 per unit, and it is anticipated that an additional 200 to 500 units will be required,” the application states. The 130-page application seeks BCUC approval to impose fees announced by BC Hydro in September. It confirms that people who keep their old mechanical meter are to be charged $35 a month, while those who choose a wireless meter with the radio transmitter disabled will be charged a $100 setup fee an $20 a month for manual collection of readings, starting April 1. The BCUC could reduce the fees

if it finds them to be excessive, or increase them if that is justified. The $35 per month fee will be charged to customers with mechanical meters starting Dec. 1, and will be adjusted later if the BCUC changes the fee.A cabinet order issued by Energy Minister Bill Bennett in September instructs the BCUC to approve fees that cover the actual cost to BC Hydro of accommodating people who refuse to take part in the wireless monitoring system for the province-wide electricity grid. The cabinet order also demands customers be charged for “failed installations,” if technicians are turned away or access to the BC

Hydro-owned meter is blocked. BC Hydro has sent letters to about 60,000 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, effective Dec. 1.

Legendary Irish-punk band The Mahones are hitting the stage at the River City Pub this Friday, Oct. 18. The band was formed by Fintan (Finny) McConnell, an Irish immigrant, for a St. Patrick’s Day part in 1990. 23 years, eight studio albums, and two live albums later, the band is still going, having helped

Columbia Shuswap Regional District create a genre of music that combines punk energy with traditional Irish melodies. Their influences include the Clash, the Pogues, the Who and Husker Du. On top of the classic guitar, drums and bass, the Mahones include accordion, mandolin and banjo to create their sound. The band has been the subject of a tribute album – a true sign of their legacy.

lower than normal revelstoke reservoir levels expected BC Hydro would like to make Revelstoke Reservoir users aware that the reservoir water level may be drawn down well below normal levels from late October to early November, if needed, to meet provincial electricity demands. During this time, inflows into Revelstoke Reservoir from Mica Dam will be reduced. BC Hydro must limit generation at Mica dam to allow workers to safely replace aging switchgear equipment in the underground powerhouse. At the same time, generation is somewhat limited from BC Hydro’s Peace River system due to maintenance outages. Given current conditions and assuming average weather, we may need to lower the reservoir water level below its normal minimum level of 571.5 metres (1,875 feet) starting the week of October 21, 2013. The level could drop as much as 4.6 metres (15 feet) below the normal minimum level by late October 2013. Should such a drop be needed, we would then expect the reservoir to refill back into its normal operating range by mid-November, 2013. If you are planning activities in or around Revelstoke Reservoir please be aware that the water level may be dropping during this period, likely by as much as 2 feet per day but possibly as much as 4 feet per day depending on weather and system conditions. BC Hydro will look for opportunities to limit the magnitude of the water level drop and will closely monitor the Revelstoke Reservoir level during this period. BC Hydro normally operates Revelstoke Reservoir at a fairly constant water level between 571.5 metres (1,875 feet) and 573.02 metres (1,880 feet) to maximize hydraulic head at Revelstoke Dam. However, BC Hydro occasionally operates Revelstoke reservoir at a lower minimum level during cold weather or unusual system conditions.

Grizzlies go winless in three-game weekend Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Grizzlies will be looking to end a four game losing streak when they head to Invermere on Friday. Revelstoke lost 4-2 to the Sicamous Eagles at home on Friday, and then lost twice in a row to the 100 Mile House Wranglers, falling 8-3 on Saturday and 6-5 in overtime on Sunday. “We have to work defensively – we’re giving up too many goals,” said coach Darren Naylor Sunday evening. “That’s just not a defensive stat. A lot of times the forwards aren’t putting pucks in deep and are leaving pucks in the neutral zone so the turnovers are crazy and they’re getting 3-on-2s all night. “In order for us to succeed we have to be a team that plays 3-2, 2-1 games,” he continued. “We wasted one today. We scored five but we gave up six. The balance was off.” On Friday, Brady Crabtree scored for Sicamous 71 seconds in the game, capitalizing on a Grizzlies turnover, and Revelstoke was never able to truly grab any momentum afterwards. Devon Hascarl tied the game with a power play not long after, but Sicamous scored one in the second and twice late in the third en route to a 4-2 win. Kent Hendrickson scored Revelstoke’s second goal with 2:47 to go in the game. “We start the game on Friday, the first line goes out and has a great shift, a great way to start a hockey game,” said Naylor. “Then the second line comes out, we’ve got a guy who’s

been in the league three years make a mistake that shouldn’t be made by a guy with that type of experience and it’s in the back of the net. All the momentum we generate is gone and it went downhill from there.” On Saturday, 16-year-old backup goalie Jaxon Nohr was given his first KIJHL start and it’s one he’d probably like to take over. The 100 Mile House Wranglers scored three times in the first and three more in the second before Tre Mason finally got Revelstoke on the board. Hascarl and Matt MacDonald scored for the Grizzlies in the third period, but the Wranglers added two more goals for an 8-3 win. Naylor didn’t fault Nohr, who faced 45 shots, for the loss. “The team didn’t show up in front of him,” Naylor said. “It’s a pretty intimidating rink to play in. They probably had 700 fans in there and the momentum, once they scored early, it just kept going and going.” On Sunday, the Grizzlies got their only point in a 6-5 OT loss. MacDonald scored twice in the third period, and Riley Creighton, Monty Chisholm and Hascarl also scored for the Grizzlies, but the team’s best offensive output of the season was spoiled when Robert Orrey scored the game winner for 100 Mile 44 seconds into OT. This weekend Revelstoke plays the Columbia Valley Rockies in Invermere on Friday and then returns home to play the Golden Rockets on Saturday. Naylor said he will continue to make

Revelstoke Grizzlies’ defenceman Wade Cline attempts to line up a big hit on Nathan Grieve of the Sicamous Eagles on Friday. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

“The games are going to go either way, we just have to start getting on the right end of them. I think that’s going to come with the talent upgrade we’re undergoing right now. “10 games for me is the cutoff time and now I’m going to move guys out and bring some skilled guys that are becoming available.”

changes to the lineup to bolster both the offence and defence. “This is a rebuild in motion. There was nothing done in the off season with this team. I’ve had one month to put together this,” he said. “We’re only going to get better, the potential is there. We’re not that bad, we’re competing.
