Could Revelstoke become home to a bioenergy facility? Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke Mountain Resort was taken over by snowmobilers on the weekend for the first annual Revelstoke hill climb race, put on by the Western Canadian Hillcross Association. The event saw sledders go over a jump, corner a berm and then race through a gated course uphill to the top of the old ski resort. For more, see pages 8–9. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Imagine taking all the wood waste produced around Revelstoke — the waste from the mills and the slash piles in the backcountry that are burned in the fall — and converting that into usable energy. That is the proposal of John Christie, a business consultant who focuses on green technology development. He recently approached Revelstoke council and the Revelstoke Community Energy Corporation about new technologies that are used to convert wood waste into bioenergy. “It is changing quite quickly and I’m able to see the new technologies coming. I have clients who are very interested in them and I do the business case for them,” Christie told the Times Review. “There’s actually some good economic sense to do these new technologies. I just wanted to bring it to their attention and see if they’re interested in pursuing the next step.” Council paid attention to his pitch. They voted to contribute $15,000 from the Economic Opportunity Fund to have Christie prepare a request for proposal (RFP) for a bioenergy facility in Revelstoke. I spoke to Christie last week by phone to find out more about his proposal. He said Revelstoke, with its abundant wood waste — both from the mills and in the bush — is well positioned to be the site of a bioenergy facility that would convert that waste into a usable fuel. Christie mentioned two possibilities. The first was torrefied wood pellets — essentially a more energy dense form of wood that could be used for heating. “They increase the density of energy in wood products to make it much more economical for both the consumer and for a business to invest in,” he said. “There’s better margins.” The other techology he spoke of, and focused most on, was that of converting wood waste into a form of green diesel fuel The technology behind converting biomass to diesel is fairly new. The first plant to do so was opened by BioEnergy International, a green energy company, and OMV, an Austrian oil and gas company, in Austria in July 2012. The plant converts wood biomass into diesel fuel by heating it with heavy oil. According to the proponents, the fuel meets green energy standards without using crops that are needed for food production like ethanol fuel, which is mostly made from corn. According to Christie, the technology is nearing the point where it will soon be economically feasible to build a plant in Revelstoke. “Probably the most exciting new technology is making green diesel from biomass,” he said. “That’s just on the cusp. “I know the technology will work, it’s just a matter of who’s going to be first.” It is also scalable, so small plants could be built, Christie said. Preparing the RFP will require two steps. The first is a survey of potential participants to make sure there’s enough interest to warrant proceeding.

Enderby snowmobile thief sent to jail Lachlan Labere Black Press

An Enderby man will be serving jail time in connection to the theft of a pickup truck and two snowmobiles stolen in Revelstoke earlier this year. On April 15, Mitchell Szekely, 34, was sentenced in Salmon Arm Supreme Court to serve 128 days in prison for possession of stolen property, and a month for dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. In addition, Szekely is prohibited from driving for three years, and was ordered to provide a DNA sample.

Szekely was nabbed by authorities in Sicamous on Feb. 23 after police tried to stop a suspicious pickup truck and trailer, carrying two snowmobiles, travelling through the community. Instead of pulling over, the driver attempted to evade police. A pursuit ensued over a short distance until the suspect lost control of the vehicle and drove into a ditch. The suspect then fled on foot, and was later tracked by police dog to a nearby property where he was found hiding in a motorhome. The suspect was taken into custody without incident.

The truck, trailer and snowmobiles were registered out of Saskatchewan, and had been stolen from Revelstoke earlier that morning. Szekely was charged with breach of probation, possession of stolen property over $5,000 and attempting to evade police. Throughout this sledding season, Sicamous, Revelstoke and Salmon Arm RCMP have been making a co-ordinated effort to crack down on snowmobile thefts in the region. This has included frequent road checks of trucks and trailers, as well the use of police bait sleds.

Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing is looking to expand into summer operations with heli-hiking, mountain biking, mountaineering and more offerings. "I guess the last 10 years or even longer, we've thought about the possibility of summer operations," said operations manager Jeff Honig. "In the tourist climate that we have now in Revelstoke, I think summer operations could work quite well. It would complement things that are already here." Selkirk Tangiers filed an application with the Integrated Land Management Bureau for a tenure application for a variety of helicopter-accessed summer tourism options. They are hiking, mountain biking, sightseeing, picnicking, mountaineering and via-ferrata. The application is to provide those activities in four different zones — the Ghost Zone around Ghost Peak southeast of Revelstoke; the Albert Zone around Albert Peak, the Choices Zone on the western border of Glacier National Park, and the Carnes Zone around Carnes Peak north of Revelstoke. The application covers a combined area of more than 20,000 hectares of alpine terrain. "The proposed tenure includes all the unique terrain required for intended offerings, including high elevation glaciated peaks, rolling sub-alpine meadows, and craggy rock peaks," the application states. While Selkirk Tangiers has a winter tenure for the area, they are required to apply for summer tenure. "We don't need the vast area we require in the winter for our summer business, so I really tried to pare down the actual zones we need to run the business successfully," said Honig. The plan is to have all activities helicopter access only. For hiking, tourists would be flown into remote alpine areas and existing features such as game trails, and rocky surfaces would be used as trails. Minimal trail building would be required, the application says. There are plans for half-day and full-day hikes, with overnight hikes a possibility in the future. Heli-picnicking would be a less intensive program than hiking. Guests would be flown to a scenic location for a short walk and lunch. Mountaineering would take place in the

Albert and Carnes zones. Guests would be flown to the larger peaks for a day of snow, rock and/or ice climbing to the summit of one of the peaks in the area. Via ferrata would take a European concept and bring it to Canada. It would involve placing a series of cables, ladders and bridges to the summit of major peaks, allowing almost anyone to summit. They woudl be located on Ghost Peak, Choices Peak, Albert Peak and Carnes Peak. "These would be heli-accessed," said Honig. "We'd land at the base and hike the upper ridge feature to a summit. It would be quite an experience. You'd be clipped to a cable the whole time, so you'd be protected from any falls. It would be quite safe." Mountain biking would take place along a series of trails around Ghost Peak. The plan is to construct a 50-kilometre trail network in the alpine, with descent options back to the Columbia River valley via the existing Mount Cartier trail and a second trail below Kokanee Bowl on Mount Mackenzie. "The heli-biking is very exciting because there's not a lot of products out there like that," said Honig. "You hear of it in Whistler but it's not really to the same commercial level that we'd like to take this." Selkirk Tangiers hopes to jump on the

growing popularity of Revelstoke as a mountain biking destination. "I think this would be a good extension and additional offering to the stuff we already have here," said Honig. There are also plans to construct a cabin east of Ghost Peak that would serve as an emergency shelter and accommodation for overnight hiking, mountain biking and ski touring. If the application is approved, Selkirk Tangiers hopes to begin offering tours and to start construction of mountain bike trails and a via ferrata up Ghost Peak this fall. The plan is to finish all trail and via ferrata construction by 2019. How does Revelstoke Mountain Resort tie into all of this? After all, the two companies share the same owners — Northland Properties. Rob Elliott, the general manager of RMR, said the resort has plans for a mountain biking offering, but it is still a few years off while they focus on winter development. "There probably won't be a downhill component," he said. “Not this year, but year's following we might explore a gondola ride into the alpine — a Frisby Ridge type ride. Those are possibilities that are within our reach."

BY ALEX COOPER

A few months ago I wrote my farewell column in this paper. I reminisced about my 4.5 years as a reporter in Revelstoke — the major stories I wrote, the big events I covered, the adventures I got to go on. It was a great job, but it was time to take that promotion to editor and run my own paper, which I had the opportunity to do down south in Nakusp. “I’m looking forward to talking to people without thinking, ‘Is this a story?’” I wrote at the time. Well, that was then and this is now. My departure – and the decision not to replace me – led my former editor Aaron Orlando, to move on. And so the call came to me to see if I would take on the challenge. I never really left Revelstoke. I was in Nakusp on weekdays and back here whenever I could to go skiing and see friends. My job was there, but my heart stayed here. I said yes to the new job. I’ll be honest — it’s not going to be easy. There’s a lot going on in Revelstoke for one person to cover. It will be difficult to get out to everything and write interesting features, on top of covering important news and enjoying a personal life. Still, it’s a step up career wise and I get to stay in Revelstoke full time, so I’m giving it my best shot. You will probably notice a change in the tone of the newspaper. Like it or not, the interests of a reporter generally seeps into what we write about. You’ll probably see less coverage of city hall and more writing about things I’m really inter-

ested in like environmental issues and outdoor sports. I’m going to do my best to keep the focus of the paper as broad as possible, and I hope you readers can provide me with news tips and let me know what’s going on, because we’re down to one set of eyes and ears and I won’t be able to keep on top of everything myself. I know my colleagues at the paper will let me know if I write too many articles about skiing. Hopefully I can continue the tradition Aaron set over the last six years and continue to put out a good product with engaging stories and good community coverage.

COMPARING REVELSTOKE TO NAKUSP In my brief, three month stint in Nakusp, I couldn’t help myself from comparing it to Revelstoke. I’m sure the people I met there got sick of my saying, “In Revelstoke, it’s like this.” The first thing, is that coming back here on weekends, it felt like going to the big city. Nakusp was quiet and sleepy, whereas Revelstoke feels lively and thriving. Say what you will about housing costs or the state of the economy, the fact is, Revelstoke is doing alright. Tourism is increasing, the forestry sector is improving and other sectors of the economy appear stable. Revelstoke feels like a lively community with a pretty good future ahead of it. I didn’t get that feeling in Nakusp, nor did I really get the feeling people wanted it to be thriving. There’s a large segment of the population there that appreciates Nakusp as a beautiful, but sleep town. In Revelstoke, the momentum is on the side of growth. The other major difference I noticed was in the size of city hall. Nakusp has onefifth the population of Revelstoke, but its municipal budget is about 10 per cent of Revestoke’s. Some of that is a matter of the weather — Nakusp’s spends $50,000 per year on snow removal, compared to almost $1 million here — but some is a matter of choice.

The Village of Nakusp offers fewer services and takes on less challenges. There is no curbside recycling, no economic development officer, and no social or environmental coordinators. They simply do the minimum amount of work expected of a municipality — fixing the streets, collecting garbage, and keeping the parks looking good. They do run the hot springs, but that’s because no one was willing to buy them. I bring this up because this is a municipal election year and journalists love elections and the change and discussion they bring. Most of the political talk in Revelstoke during my time here has been about overspending by city hall — whether on excessive planning exercises, snow clearing, street sweeping and more. Residents complain the city spends too much and taxes are too high; council counters that no one wants service cuts, and services have to be paid for. Municipal elections are coming up in November and already different groups are aligning to run candidates. Spending will be the dominant theme and there will be a lot of talk about finding efficiencies and maintaining of cutting services. Finding efficiencies will only go so far. If people are serious about wanting the city to reduce spending, then real decisions will have to be made on service cuts. This has ramifications. Would eliminating the social development coordinator harm Revelstoke’s social service sector? Would removing the environmental coordinator position prevent the city from taking a progressive stance on environmental issues? Would reducing the snow removal budget harm the ability of people, especially seniors to get around? Would cutting the planning department budget lead to delays in developments getting approved, or — perhaps worse — result in bad developments getting approved? Hopefully the municipal campaign won’t just be a simple debate about reducing spending, but an honest discussion about Revelstoke’s priorities as a community. It will be an interesting year.

New season brings more big news from Revy Riders Ridge. This summer, the plan is to finish a 12-kilometre expert trail and build a beginner trail. The club has about $50,000 to spend on trail building this year, Pawlitsky said. "We want to get more beginners interested and out there," he said. The growth of the Revy Riders has attracted the attention of the dirt biking community. World Trials of Canada will be hosting the Western Canadian Championships here on June 28–29. Trials biking involves navigating over a series of challenging obstacles along a course. Pawlitsky said the event would make use of rock quarries left over from the dam building days. "They excavated it and left some big rock areas that are perfect for trials," he said. "The riders will connect these trials areas and use our trails to connect to the stunts they want." Also in talks is a major event sponsored by Red Bull, the major energy drink and extreme sports media company. Pawlitsky said there are several ideas in mind, though nothing has been finalized. There is also a ladies ride planned for this summer, which will include riding clinics, bike maintenance classes and more.

The Revy Riders dirt bike club is looking at expanding its motocross track and building a new beginner area. Three years after the Revy Riders opened their track at the north end of Westside Road, they are applying to expand their tenure in order to lengthen the track, create a beginner trail, and expand the parking to make room for the pro riders they hope to attract. The eventual goal is to hold a motocross race in Revelstoke, while also making it more beginner-friendly, said Chris Pawlitsky, the president of the Revy Riders. "We've applied for more land because our area isn't really big enough," he told the Times Review. "If we want to hold a bigger motocross race, our track isn't big enough. To keep up the standard of Motocross BC, we need a longer track." They have also applied to extend track hours to 8 p.m. from 7 p.m. The Revy Riders have grown rapidly over the past three years since the opening of their track in late 2010. Since then, they have added an endurocross track and a 60-kilometre trail network on the lower flanks of Frisby

Revelstoke Mountain Resort played host to the first in what is hoped to become an annual snowmobile hill climb race. The Western Canadian Hill Cross Association, which is organized by a group called Motorfirst, was at the resort over the weekend to put on the event, which was attended by about 50 riders. The climb consisted of a jump into a big berm, followed by an uphill slalom course. Sledders competed in several categories depending on the power of their engines and whether their rides were stock or modified. The event was only confirmed four days ahead of time, and as a result, there was little time for promotion and few people in attendance to watch the show. Rob Elliott, the general manager of RMR, said they hope to bring it back next year, with more time to promote it. Results weren’t available as of press time. They will be posted to www.revelstoketimesreview.com as

Donald Robichaud Jr. is all smiles as he holds up the $280 he earned for winning the Revelstoke Rotary Club hockey pool. The eight-year-old hockey fan finished in a tie for first place with Regan Roney, but he won on a tie-breaker. Robichaud didn’t get any help from dad either — he made all his own picks. He said he will be putting $200 into a savings account so he can buy a car when he turns 16, and the rest he’ll spend on toys, “probably Lego.” Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

BCTF strike action starts this week

f ! o n a F Week e h t

Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – After rejecting an offer from the school district bargaining agency for a long-term contract, the B.C. Teachers' Federation has served notice it will begin work-to-rule action April 23. BCTF president Jim Iker announced Thursday that 72-hour notice has been given, after union members voted 89 per cent in March to endorse a three-stage strike plan. Phase one includes refusing communication with school managers, arriving no more than an hour before and leaving an hour after school hours, and refusing supervision of students outside class time. It does not affect pre-arranged voluntary activities such as coaching, but the refusal of supervi-

sion requires essential service levels that compel some teachers to assure the safety of students while they are out of classes. Report card preparation and parent meetings will continue. Iker said progress at the bargaining table will determine how long phase one action would last. Phase two of the BCTF plan is rotating one-day walkouts in districts around the province. Phase three, a full-scale strike, would require a second vote by members to authorize. The BCTF has rejected the government's offer for a 10-year agreement with pay increases totalling 6.5% over the first six years and additional wage increases to be negotiated for the final four years. There has been little change to the "lowball offer" on wages and no movement on the long-running

dispute over class size limits and special needs support, Iker said. BCTF negotiators countered with a three-year proposal with three per cent plus a cost-of-living increase in each year. With compounding and current estimates of inflation, BCPSEA calculates that could amount to 13.5 per cent over three years. Iker said school districts are cutting staff and programs due to ministry budget cuts, and the ministry should at least cover school districts' costs for increase medical services plan premiums and BC Hydro rate increases. The education ministry says per-pupil funding has increased 38 per cent since 2001, and the ministry has provided $225 million over three years to hire 500 teachers and 400 new special education assistants for the 2012-13 school year.

Christie believes there is enough wood waste available in Revelstoke to make a bioenergy plant feasible. He said it could produce up to 18 million litres of liquid fuel per year and employ 50–60 people year-round. The finished product could then be sold wherever there is demand for it. “Green diesel is in high demand so there’s good investor opportunities there. I expect to see some real interest,” he said. “City’s like Revelstoke have a real energy resource and that’s what I’ve been telling people — helping them to understand it’s quite a viable resource.”
