FortisBC studies switching Revelstoke from propane to LNG Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Balu Yoga and Wellness hosted a Glow Yoga fundraiser at Traverse Night Club on Mar. 21 that contributed to an upcoming $562 donation to the Revelstoke Women’s Shelter and the non-profit Free the Slaves. Studio co-owner Noelle Bovon said Balu has raised money for the shelter through a spring equinox event and ongoing by-donation karma classes on Saturdays at 4 p.m. The class was led by Bovon, Erin Potter and Alana Jung.

The company that operates the underground gas pipeline network in Revelstoke is studying the possibility of switching from propane to natural gas. FortisBC spokesperson Michael Allison confirmed the utility is in the very early stages of studying the business case for the switchover. Currently, FortisBC uses a bank of large propane storage tanks located in the industrial park on Powerhouse Road to feed an underground network that was installed just over 20 years ago. (Fortis didn’t have the exact date.) The propane is shipped in by rail, and the tanks are refilled via a rail spur line that runs behind the Powerhouse Road property. Spokesperson Michael Allison explained the reason FortisBC is considering the switch is cost. “We would be exploring this to save customers money,” Allison said. Propane prices are rising, and long-term forecasts call for increased prices for the gas, which is a by-product of oil refining. Natural gas prices are trending in the opposite direction. “We do see a long-term continued decrease in natural gas prices,” Allison said. So, is FortisBC building a 100-odd kilometre pipeline from the nearest distribution point in Salmon Arm? No, Allison said: “That is not economically feasible.” He said FortisBC had looked into the pipeline, but it wasn’t considering it due to cost. Whistler switched from propane to natural gas in 2009, after upgrades to the Sea-to-Sky Highway for the 2010 Olympics made piggybacking a new pipeline from the Lower Mainland economically viable, Allison said. What FortisBC is studying is bringing in a relatively new system to Revelstoke – likely the first of its kind in B.C. if it were to proceed. The gas utility is proposing using rail-based “isotainers” filled with liquified natural gas – known as LNG – to feed the gas network. LNG is natural gas that has been processed, cooled and condensed into a super-cold liquid state. The tanks would be brought to the existing facility, feeding the network from there. The tanks are a cylinder that is contained by a reinforced steel frame. This story was initiated when the Times Review called FortisBC, after hearing about a possible study. Allison emphasized the study is in really early stages, and the conversion is far from certain. When Whistler switched over to natural gas in 2009, they reduced gas-related emissions by 15 per cent and gas costs were reduced by 20 per cent at the time. Allison said the current cost reduction is higher and forecast to increase because the price of the two different types of gasses are heading in opposite directions. However, it’s not possible to calculate potential savings in Revel-

Starbucks Coffee, new gas station proposed for Revelstoke Annual General Meeting & Multicultural Potluck Wednesday, April 2, 2014

Aaron Orlando

Thank you Revelstoke for making the Carousel of Nations an enormous success! The Revelstoke Multicultural Society thanks the following sponsors for their generous support toward the Carousel of Nations event:

Coffee retailing giant Starbucks Coffee is proposing to open a retail location with a drive-through in Revelstoke, as part of the redevelopment of the old Petro-Canada service station lot. The development will also include a Petro-Canada gas station and a convenience store. The aging Petro-Canada station was demolished approximately five years ago, and the lot has been vacant since then. The proposed development is near the Revelstoke McDonald’s. It’s on the Woodenhead Park loop road, which connects to Victoria Road. The troubling intersection becomes very congested during peak weekends and has been identified by City of Revelstoke staff as very problematic. The new development seems bound to add traffic to the intersection. In recent months, the City of Revelstoke’s Development Services department has proposed a study of the intersection to find solutions to congestion during peak traffic loads. They have budgeted $50,000 for design work this year, and have earmarked $600,000 for improvements, including construction, over the next few years. In the package to be discussed at the Mar. 25 council meeting, the proposal discusses a requirement for the developers of the proposed service station complex to help pay for the intersection improvements.

Above: News that coffee retailer Starbucks Coffee is proposing opening a retail location in Revelstoke touched off reaction on the Times Review website and Facebook page. While many ‘liked’ the news, critics of Starbucks were more vocal. They lamented the fact the corporate giant would compete against homegrown coffee shops, and would be erosive to Revelstoke’s unique mountain town identity. Others said adding more retail at the highway will mean fewer visitors venture downtown. Another main criticism was the impact a new gas station, convenience store and coffee shop will have on the already clogged Victoria Road and Trans-Canada Highway during peak traffic times. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

‘Recreational vehicle’ storage comprehensive development zone proposed Also on the City of Revelstoke’s upcoming development agenda is a new eight-lot strata development on Westside Road. City Development Services manager Dean Strachan described the development as an eight-lot, light-industrial strata development. Each light industrial lot will have the

option for residential inside the industrial-looking buildings, but the main focus will be storage space for recreational vehicles like motorboats, snowmobiles, Sea-doos and storage trailers. The developers are applying for a comprehensive development zone, which is essentially a zoning trade-off: it often allows the developer to do things not permitted under zoning rules, but city planning staff get increased input and approval on the development plans. The complex features a secure storage complex and combined storage and residential unit.

FortisBC says LNG business case study in early stage LNG, from page 1 stoke because an apples-to-apples comparison isn’t available. Whistler is on the gas pipeline network, which is governed by a complex regulatory framework. The proposed, relatively new LNG technology for Revelstoke will have different costs, and will also have to gain approvals through regulators, such as the B.C. Utilities Commission – which approves a final price.

Until that study is done, any potential cost benefit is unknown; Allison restated that FortisBC is exploring the plan to see if they can save customers money. If the switch is made, customers will need to convert their appliances to adjust to the change. FortisBC is responsible for the gas line up to and including the meter, but it would be the residents’ responsibility to deal with an appropriate contractor for anything inside their property.

Some people use garlic (fresh or in capsules) as a supplement. Although there is little evidence it lowers blood pressure, it does have short-term effects on cholesterol and blood clotting. It is recommended that those people on blood thinning medication not use high doses because of the increased risk of bleeding. Also high doses of garlic should be stopped 1-2 weeks before major surgery.

There are many suggestions for curing hiccups. Some work and some don’t. One new way, which may seem a little extreme, evidently works really well, especially for people who hiccup for long periods of time. The method is called digital rectal stimulation and means just what it says. Using a surgical glove or even kitchen plastic wrap on a finger and massage the inside of the rectum. Hiccups should stop within

minutes.

Don’t smoke. 2. Eat sensibly: heavy on fruits and vegetables, limit fat, alcohol only in moderation. 3. Maintain a healthy weight. 4. Don’t deliberately bake yourself in the sun. These are easy to understand but often hard to do. But they definitely reduce your risk of cancer.

Man accused of murder in Shelter Bay drowning in verbal exchange with judge Tim Petruk Black Press

Allowing a former New Zealand politician charged with firstdegree murder to file applications in court on his own behalf would be akin to a B.C. Supreme Court judge launching a NASA rocket. That’s what Peter Beckett was told in a Kamloops courtroom on Wednesday, March 19, as a date was set to hear arguments on his disclosure application. Beckett, 57, is charged with firstdegree murder, counselling to commit murder and obstructing justice. The Crown alleges he killed his wife at Shelter Bay near Revelstoke in 2010, then plotted to have five witnesses murdered while behind bars in 2012. The former town councillor in Napier, New Zealand, is representing himself in court.

Beckett — a resident of Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre for the time being — having access to a computer, which he would need to review the digital disclosure. Last month, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Meiklem appointed a lawyer to represent Beckett in his applications. Beckett was not happy with that decision and told Meiklem as much. “I can’t appoint somebody for you if you don’t want them,” Meiklem said. “My decision to appoint counsel relates to my assessment of your ability to do the right thing by yourself in terms of the disclosure application.” “You don’t think I have the intellect to represent myself?” Beckett asked. “It’s not about intellect,”

Meiklem replied. “It’s about knowledge and expertise.” “You think I’m lacking in those?” Beckett asked. “Well, yes,” Meiklem said. “It would be like me walking into NASA headquarters and saying, ‘I’m going to take over this rocket launch now.’ I’m just not equipped to do it no matter what my intellect might be.” Beckett is alleged to have killed his wife, Laura Letts-Beckett, 50, by pushing her off a boat at Shelter Bay — south of Revelstoke — in 2010. He was arrested a year later. In late 2012, while Beckett was in custody charged with murder, he was charged with the additional counts following an undercover jailhouse investigation by RCMP. Police allege Beckett plotted to kill five witnesses — including

Letts-Beckett’s parents, an RCMP sergeant and an Alberta lawyer — while behind bars. Beckett and his wife lived north of Edmonton at the time of the incident and are believed to have been in B.C. on vacation. The drowning was first believed to have been an accident. A New Zealand native, Beckett served as a town councillor in Napier from 1998 to 2001. New Zealand media reports describe him as something of a Kiwi Rob Ford, who made headlines for assaulting the captain of a rugby team in a pub and stealing taxpayer-purchased liquor from a city meeting. Most recently, he worked as a school bus driver in Westlock, Alta. Beckett’s application hearing is slated to take place on April 15.

Campaigners and stakeholders supporting efforts to reintroduce migrating salmon into the Canadian portion of the Columbia River say the B.C. government’s recentlyreleased position is mixed news for the reintroduction effort. On Mar. 13, the Government of B.C. announced their intention to continue the Columbia River Treaty (CRT) with the U.S., but seek improvements. The government outlined 14 key points of the position. Regarding salmon, the government stated: “Salmon migration into the Columbia River in Canada was eliminated by the Grand Coulee Dam in 1938 (26 years prior to Treaty ratification), and is currently not a Treaty issue. British Columbia’s perspective is that the management of anadromous salmon population is the responsibility of the Government of Canada and that restoration of fish passage and habitat, if feasible, should be the responsibility of each country regarding their perspective infrastructure.” Deb Kozak is chairperson of the Columbia River Treaty Local Governments’ Committee, which led community consultation on the CRT in Columbia River Communities. While the B.C. position seeks to extricate the salmon issue from the CRT, the wording leaves the door open for future study and cooperation, Kozak said. “Just the simple fact that we have brought this issue forward in a broad fashion about the CRT is good, because this is something that hasn’t been on the radar for many, many years,” Kozak said. She emphasized that stakeholders on both sides of the border are pushing to include ecosystem-based management prin-

ciples into ongoing treaty negotiations, something that wasn’t a core principle when the original treaty was ratified. Salmon are a key constituent of the Columbia River ecosystem. “We were definitely interested in learning more about [salmon reintroduction] and we would like to see that happen.” Kozak said, “There is economic benefit to strong ecosystems.” The Ktunaxa Nation, which is centred in the East Kootenay, is a key proponent of salmon reintroduction to the Columbia headwaters. Ktunaxa Nation Council Chair Kathryn Teneese applauded cooperation between the B.C. Government and the Ktunaxa on CRT negotiations in a Mar. 18 statement. “It is a testament to the hard work of both governments we were able to come to such a broad agreement on how we will work together towards the renewal of the Columbia River

Treaty.” However, she said consensus was not reached on some issues, of which salmon reintroduction is a key one: “We have sharply divergent views on whether the restoration of upper Columbia salmon is a matter that should be addressed within a renegotiated Columbia River Treaty. Our view is that salmon restoration is largely about the management of dams which currently block fish passage and the management of river flows on both sides of the border and both of these management issues are at the heart of the Columbia River Treaty,” Teneese said. “This transboundary cooperation is essential if we are to restore upriver salmon.” In both the U.S. and Canada, local and regional stakeholders have outlined their positions. It will be up to federal entities in both countries to determine their position.

Race prep Revelstoke Ski Club parents and racers were busy on the weekend preparing for the Zone Final race coming up March 29–30. Over 150 U12, U14 and U16 skiers from across the North Okanagan zone will be coming to Revelstoke for one of their last races of the season. GS and slalom courses will be set up on lower Pitch Black and Hollywood, giving riders on the Stoke chair with some great views of the action. Preparation for such a big race takes a lot of volunteers. Here, parents pitch in to line the course with B-net, one of the sport’s safety precautions. B-net is designed to catch a racer going off course and absorb the skier’s speed to minimize risk of injury. Revelstoke Ski Club image

New Revelstoke tourism infrastructure projects get committee OK status as a B.C. Resort Municipality. It’s an agreement between the province, the municipality and tourism stakeholders that creates a special tax on accommodations in Revelstoke. Money collected is put into a fund earmarked for tourism infrastructure projects. It’s not a City of Revelstoke fund. Although council does have final input, they have historically gone along with the tourism infrastructure committee’s recommendations.

Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke City Council has received a list of recommendations from the Revelstoke Tourism Infrastructure Committee that approves funding for several new and existing projects. For reasons explained below, it’s likely these projects will receive approval from council at their Mar. 25 meeting. The projects are: —$50,000 to the Revelstoke Arts Council for start-up costs for two music festivals. The proposal calls for the hiring of former Salmon Arm Roots and Blues festival organizer Hugo Rampen to start two festivals per year in Revelstoke starting in September of 2015. —$70,000 to the Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club to fund lighting on the trails at the Macpherson Nordic complex. The club is proposing lighting on a portion of the Main Loop trail, the Mickey Olson Loop trail and the Dynamite ski trail, allowing for longer hours of operation. —$15,000 to the B.C. Interior Forestry Museum for a viewing deck at the museum. The viewing platform is designed to improve the view across the Columbia River towards the Revelstoke Dam. —$20,000 for additional trail-building at the Revy Riders dirt-biking facility on Westside Road. The plan is to complete the expert trail and work on a beginner trail. —$20,000 for the Revelstoke Cycling Association for trail maintenance in 2014. The cycling association’s request was for

Improvements to the Revy Riders dirt bike trail system are one of several projects recommended for funding by the Revelstoke Tourism Infrastructure Committee. Times Review file photo

$115,000 for several projects, of which they received an OK for $20,000. —$12,800 to Revelstoke Mountain Resort for a study of a proposed trail around Williamson’s Lake. The proposal calls for a 6.1-kilometre trail around the lake that will connect to Camozzi Road. The proposal outlines all the necessary steps in a riparian study. —$80,000 to the City of Revelstoke for improvements on Nichol Road between Airport Way and Park Drive. The city is proposing to build an all-season, shared, threemetre wide pedestrian and bicycle lane on Nichol Road that will mitigate traffic issues created because the road is the main access to Revelstoke Mountain Resort.

—The City of Revelstoke’s application for $30,000 for upgrades to the exterior of Revelstoke City Hall’s Second Street entrance earned an asterisk from the committee. No funding was approved. Instead, the tourism infrastructure committee asked that the proposal be referred to the city’s committee process. At this point, it’s unclear how this application will proceed.

Projects’ approval is likely The recommendations were released in a council agenda on Mar. 25, and follow the meeting of the Revelstoke Tourism Infrastructure Advisory Committee last week. The funding derives from Revelstoke’s

It’s Winter Be Careful!

Brookfield invites you to enjoy the great outdoors carefully. At this time of year, river currents can weaken ice, especially backwater currents close to dams. Avoid going on rivers whether on foot, skates, snowmobile, skis, or with all-terrain vehicles (ATV). Be reminded that dam’s control gates can be activated remotely at any time, causing unsafe conditions such as rapid changing water level and river current.

B.C. appoints Isobel Mackenzie as appoints first seniors advocate Jeff Nagel Black Press

The provincial government has appointed Isobel Mackenzie as B.C.’s first seniors’ advocate. Mackenzie has a broad mandate as the voice of seniors in B.C. to monitor

and review system-wide issues affecting their well-being. She can make recommendations to government and other service providers in areas ranging from health and personal care to housing, transportation and income support. “I have seen first-hand the issues,

the challenges and the choices facing our seniors, their families and their caregivers,” Mackenzie said Wednesday, calling her appointment an honour and a privilege. “I have witnessed the profound desire of seniors to maintain their dignity and their independence.”

Mackenzie has 18 years of local, provincial and national experience working on behalf of seniors, much of it heading Beacon Community Services in Victoria. She is to advise government and service providers in an independent manner, meet the minister at least

yearly and make public her reports and recommendations. Opposition New Democrats, who have called for a seniors advocate since 2007, said the government hasn’t given the new advocate enough power and independence to act as a strong champion. The enabling legislation indicates problems specific to an individual senior, rather than broad system-wide issues, are likely to be referred elsewhere. “This advocate is not empowered to look at individual issues facing seniors,” NDP seniors critic Katrine Conroy said. “These individual issues often signal systemic problems.” The Office of the Seniors Advocate opens in Victoria March 31 with a $2-million budget and can be found online at www.gov.bc.ca/ seniorsadvocate. It’s the first position of its kind in Canada. B.C. has 700,000 residents over age 65 and that number is projected to double over the next 20 years, by which time seniors will make up nearly a quarter of the population. The appointment of the advocate by Health Minister Terry Lake meets a commitment in the province’s 2012 Seniors Action Plan. That promise came after the B.C Ombudsperson issued a highly critical report in 2011 on problems in seniors’ care with 176 recommendations that critics say have largely been ignored.

Thespians create Electro Social Club rave/play ANA POLLO

Special to the Revelstoke Times Review

Calling all night magic people! All wave makers, move makers, flirts, drinkers, squeezes and dancers. Your fifteen minutes of party fame awaits on April 5 at the Traverse Night Club. Iron Mountain Theatre – the same folks that brought the legendary Ski Bum, The Musical to Revelstoke, a new kind of interactive drama is born. Nadine Tremblay co-creator and actor explained told me it’s “interactive theatre.” They cast nine actors locally for each show. “The bouncer, dance-fluffer, pick-up artist, the couple, the drinker, exhibitionist, they’re some of the characters you would find at your nightclub or the bar,” Tremblay said. “The vision is to blend electronic music with theatre.” On April 4, Traverse Night Club will be transformed into the Electro Social Club. Beat freak and co-creator Rupert Keiller – best known for his work with the award winning Australian Group Sonic Animation – will be setting off the night with a dub-step based set. Soon after the energy is raised, scenes will

Left: the Dance Fluffer is one of several characters participating in Iron Mountain Theatre’s presentation of Electro Social Club at Traverse Nightclub on April 4.

break out and dramatic party antics will erupt. The actors will be dancing and mingling until a sign is given to start their scene. But, don’t let memorizing lines deter you from trying out because they are only a few fixed lines used as musical cues. “It is mostly improv,” you’ll probably be cast as a character you are most like in the first place. A scene could break out right in front of and pull you in, so go with it! Neither Tremblay or Keiller knew how the project would evolve. “We originally got together to make an album.” Combining musical theatre and electronica soon expanded into a more innovative production. Tremblay brought her background of theatre, singing, improv and stagecraft. While Rupert brought his talent as a DJ to be the musical backbone. They both act in the show, “The DJ’s are the narrators, we took the best of both worlds and made a hybrid that way.” Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be apart of something fun and fresh. Whether you want to act or just party, it is something different then your regular DJ set and drinks. Tremblay and Keiller will be accepting applications until about a week before the performance. So get a hold of them before Mar. 28 through their website www.electrosocialclub. com. More information can be found there on the performers and the parts. Tickets are $10 in advance at Society Snow and Skate on Mackenzie or $15 at the door.

Racers go head to head at a strip near the Glacier House Lodge at a Revelstoke Spirit Fest earlier in 2014. The event was a trial run for the reformatted 2014 Snowarama this Sunday.

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Organizers of the Revelstoke Snowarama charity snowmobile event have redesigned the format to be inclusive of all community members. Operating for nearly 30 years under the leadership of Revelstoke Snowmobile Club organizer Paul Olsen, the event has raised about $133,000 for the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities and Easter Seals, both children’s health-focused charities. 2014 event co-organizer Gary Van Os said changing times prompted a re-think of the traditionally poker-ride format event, which limited participation to snowmobilers only. Over time, snowmobiling has changed from a large-group touring activity, to more smaller-group alpine exploring, meaning participation waned in the event. Van Os said that hurt their goal of raising money for charity: “If you don’t have a snowmobile, you don’t get to play. We’ve decided to make it a more inclusive event.” This year, they’re hosting sled drag races open to public viewing for free. The event takes place at a course between the Glacier House Lodge and the Frisby Ridge parking lot this Sunday, Mar. 30. They hosted a trial run during Revelstoke Spirit Fest earlier this year, and had a great turnout.

ELECTIONS will be held at the next club meeting on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2014.

“Half the people who were there weren’t snowmobilers, they were townspeople,” Van Os said. To raise funds for BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities and Easter Seals, Revelstoke Snowmobile Club will be serving hot barbecue lunch, drinks and there’ll be draws, raffles and prizes. Racers will compete in timed and head-to-head drag races in classes like 700cc, 800cc, stock, turbo and vintage. Registration is $20 per class. There will be trophies for winners, and some prizes, but the focus is raising money for charity. The event is really about getting the snowmobiling community and the whole community together for a fun event. “It’s about the grudge matches between buddies,” Van Os said. Snowarama is this Sunday, Mar. 30. Sign-up is at 9 a.m. and the first races start around 11 a.m. The event runs until about 2:30 p.m., depending on registration. The BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities operates Easter Seals programs and services for children with disabilities across British Columbia. These services include Easter Seals Houses in Vancouver and Victoria which provide an affordable caring place to stay for parents and children who travel to seek medical treatment.

Revelstoke Pee Wees place third at provincial competition Contributed

The Revelstoke Pee Wee team has placed third at the provincial competition last week. They completed a terrific effort with a record of three wins, two ties and one loss. The team competed hard and should be very proud of how they represented Revelstoke and the Okanagan. The Pee Wees came out strong agains a Victoria team on Mar. 15, winning 13-0. The team played two games on Mar. 16. The first early morning game was versus the North Shore Winter Club. This team had lost their first game the day before and were trying to stay alive. It was a tight game that ended with a 6-6 tie. The second game of the day was vs Prince George and our team took the game 6-1. Revelstoke faced off against hosts Seafair on Mar. 17. They were undefeated at this point in

the tournament and Revelstoke played a solid game for all three periods. The game ended in at 4-4. Luck wasn’t on the Pee Wees’ side; the game ended in a tie after a disputed goal-line call went against Revelstoke. The Pee Wees played Elk Valley on Mar. 18. It was a battle. The boys knew they needed to win to capture a berth in the championship match. The boys remained strong and battled to the end. A disallowed again broke hearts. The boys lost their only game with a score of 4-3. The Pee Wees faced Burns Lake in a Mar. 19 gold medal match. Revelstoke rallied to win 6-5. It was a fantastic experience to be at provincials and compete so strongly at this level. Thank you to everyone from Revelstoke who so generously supported our Pee Wee Team. You can be proud of them!

March 10, 2014 was a landmark day for me. This is my profound Thank You to everyone, who with flowers, cards, phone calls and or with physical presence celebrated my 90th birthday (a day prior) at the Sicamous Seniors’ Centre. In the words of the Irish Rovers ..... wasn’t that a party? I extend a special thank you to Wayne Sirvio for his always entertaining piano music and all those who aided my family in melding this afternoon into such a happy occasion. I am truly blessed to have reached this milestone supported by a loving family and so many caring friends.

The BC Government is now off-loading our recycling decisions to Toronto.

Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal. How do you like that, British Columbia? This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose first responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profits. That can’t be a good thing for BC. The most perplexing thing is that we currently have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, and costs BC homeowners just

$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its first priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC. It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a pizza or buy groceries. Yikes! Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.” Given that, maybe it’s time you called Premier Clark to keep BC’s environmental decisions right here in BC where they belong.

What’s going on here?
