The sad tale of Panda the black bear

Downtown Revelstoke turned into a bit of a zoo Friday morning when a black bear the RCMP called Panda wouldn’t come down from a tree on First Street West. A big crowd gathered to watch Conservation Officers and RCMP deal with the situation. Sadly, Panda was put down by the COs later that day. For more, see page two. 1. The black bear climbed up the tree sometime Thursday night. By the morning, the city had the section of sidewalk blocked off and an RCMP officer was monitoring the situation while Conservation Officers drove in from Vernon. 2. CO Mike Richardson fills up a one of two tranquilizer rounds. 3. Cpl. Thomas Blakney and CO Terry Myroniuk shake the branches to encourage Panda to fall. At this point the bear was clinging onto the branches with the last of its fading strength. 4. The bear struggles to hold onto the branches as the second tranquilizer takes effect. 5. The bear is drowsy as it lies on the mattress with two darts in its side. 6. With the bear passed out in the truck, people move in to pet and take photos of the sleepy animal.

Bear incident means ‘we fail as a community’ says Conservation Officer Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The story of Panda, the black bear that created a spectacle after climbing into a tree downtown last week, came to a sad end when it was killed by the Conservation Service on Friday. The Conservation Service was called to Revelstoke to tranquilize a black bear that climbed into a tree downtown Friday morning. The situation created a public spectacle as tourists and locals crowded around 300 block of First Street West to take pictures of the bear and watch as RCMP and Conservation Service dealt with the bear. The bear, named Panda by the Revelstoke RCMP climbed into the tree late Thursday night. By morning it was still there and unwilling or unable to climb down. The City of Revelstoke blocked off a section of sidewalk beneath the tree and an RCMP officer stayed parked in his cruiser while he waited for the COs to show up from Vernon. Revelstoke has been without a Conservation Officer of its own since December when the provincial government opted to not replace the former officer who retired. COs Michael Richardson and Terry Myroniuk arrived in Revelstoke from Vernon at around 11 a.m. The COs assessed the situation and RCMP went and retrieved a mattress to soften the bear's fall. A flat bed truck was brought in to limit the height of the bear's fall. Panda is believed to be the same bear that had been spotted several times downtown in the preceding days. It is thought to have been struck by a car several days earlier and on another occasion it ran up a power pole, nearly coming into contact with the power lines. "We’re pretty confident it's the same bear," said Myroniuk while at the scene. "It seems to have that pattern of hanging down in the core and treeing readily. Our plan is to immobilize him and get him down and assess him." By this point a large crowd had gathered to watch officials deal with the bear. The crowd had to be pushed back to allow the bear an escape route should it have chosen to run after being shot with a tranquilizer. "It's an unpredictable animal," said Myroniuk. "We can't say what it's going to do when it hits." The first dart was fired at about 11:45 a.m. The shot struck the bear, but appeared to have little affect. The bear continued to sit in the tree, showing little affect from the tranquilizer. "It did hit the bear in a good location but sometimes they just don't get the drug into the muscle tissue because

there's a lot of fat on their hind end at this time of year," Myroniuk said. A second shot was fired about 15 minutes later. This one was successful and the bear started to lose strength. It struggled to hold onto the branches and stay in the tree. Myroniuk and RCMP Cpl. Thomas Blakney jumped onto the flat bed and tugged at the branches to force the bear from the tree. Finally, the bear lost its grip and tumbled onto the mattress. A big cheer went up as the bear lay dazed on the truck, two darts stuck into its hide. The crowd moved in to take pictures while the bear was moved into the back of the CO's truck. Some people even came up to pet the bear. The bear was given a quick inspection for signs of injury. The COs then took it away from the busy downtown to give it a closer look away from people. "As I suspected with my initial look, it wasn't in the best shape," Myroniuk told the Times Review later in the day. "It's lower left canine had a big abscess. There was a bit of tooth left but it was rotten and it was swollen down below." He added that the rest of Panda's teeth on the lower left jaw were infected and that it was favouring it's right hind leg. They also looked at the bear's recent history around people. The result — they chose to kill the bear. "When we have situations like that, even if there hadn't been the obvious injuries and tooth issues, relocation just isn't an option for an animal who's habituated to people and people as food source," said Myroniuk. "Unfortunately, despite all our best efforts, sometimes the script's been written at the start." He called the situation a community problem, saying that if people were more careful about leaving garbage out and picking their fruit, problem bear situations could be avoided. "Unfortunately at the end of the day we fail as a community to be bear aware and prevent bears from coming into our neighbourhoods by reducing attractants," he said. "It sucks. We do have to put bears down in these types of situations." His comments were echoed by Sue Davies, Revelstoke's Bear Aware coordinator. "We wouldn't have quite so many bears being habituated to humans and comfortable in town if we didn't allow them to get into food. It's that same old story, it's not a complicated story," she said. "We have to put away our garbage, pick our fruit trees and make sure all that food is not available to bears and we won't have these issues cropping up so regularly."

Fine, probation for man who drove drunk through yards generous" with their sentence offer of only a fine and driving prohibition. "If there had been someone on the sidewalk when you went careening across it, you'd be going to a federal penitentiary," he told McPherson. "This is not rolling through a stop sign. This is a very serious incident." Still, he agreed with the Crown's recommended sentence, but added a period of probation that includes mandatory counselling. "The purpose of the probation is entirely to help you," McKimm said.

A Revelstoke man who crashed his car through several fences while driving drunk pleaded guilty in court last week. Curtis E. McPherson was given a $1,500 fine, a one year driving prohibition and one year probation for the incident that took place Friday, Aug. 15, at around 10 p.m. Crown prosecutor Angela Ross told the court that McPherson was found passed out at the wheel of his truck after he drove it through two yards on Humbert Street, damaging fences in the process. Neighbours woke him up and RCMP and BC ambulance were called. When RCMP attended to McPherson, he was visibly drunk. He was arrested and taken to the detachment, where he gave two breath samples of more than 0.19 — almost 2.5 times the legal limit. McPherson told the court he drank six strong beers at a friend's house when he decided to head home earlier than planned. "It was a screwed up decision I made because of the booze," he said. "The drinking, it doesn't help the decision making at all." Judge Mayland McKimm said the Crown was being "more than

pain he experiences following an arm injury many years ago. He did not have a medical license so judge Mayland McKimm gave him two months to come up with a diagnosis saying he was allowed to use marijuana for medical purposes. In court last week he brought in a "medical marijuana eligible diagnosis" form from the Do No Harm Clinic in Kelowna. The clinic advertises itself on its website as "a medico-legal service that assesses medical records of individuals interested in medical marijuana." As a result, McKimm awarded the man an absolute discharge, saying the crown would need to provide evidence the marijuana was for something other than medicinal use if they wanted a stronger punishment. Federal prosecutor Nick Vlahos said he was seeking a fine but he said the man was consistent from his arrest onwards that the marijuana was for pain relief. Without any evidence indicating otherwise, McKimm sided with the man. "I'm satisfied it's not contrary to the public interest for (him) to receive a discharge," said McKimm.

MEDIAL MARIJUANA LICENSE LEADS TO DISCHARGE A Kelowna man was given an absolute discharge when he was able to produce a doctor's note saying he was eligible for medical marijuana. The man was in court on charges of possession of marijuana after he was caught driving with more than 1.2 kilograms of pot on March 12. He pleaded guilty to the charge in August and said at the time the marijuana was to treat chronic

RCMP investigating dog shooting incident editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke RCMP are investigating a disturbing incident in which a dog was shot and killed near Three Valley Gap on Saturday. The act took place on near the Wap Lake Forest Service Road, about 20 kilometres west of Revelstoke, on Saturday, Oct. 4 at around 1 p.m. RCMP say the dog, a threeyear-old husky cross name Ollie, was out with its owner when it was shot. A man was seen getting into a pickup truck with a firearm and fleeing the scene as the owner of the dog gave chase on foot.

The former editor of the Revelstoke Times Review announced he is running for council. Aaron Orlando, who left the newspaper in the spring, made his announcement on his Facebook page and the Stoke List last Thursday morning. “This community and the City of Revelstoke have many issues — a stagnant economy, many major infrastructure challenges and a ballooning debt, for example — and I believe we need to involve all Revelstokians in finding innovative solutions,” he wrote. Since the announcement, he has been posting platform updates daily covering issues ranging from development cost charges (DCCs) to resource planning. “I have a lot of experience. I’ve been going (to council) for six years. I understand the issues and I understand the cycle,” he told the Times

Review in an interview on Sunday. “I’m really looking to being part of a team that forms the new council and works together to chart a new direction.” Orlando brought up several issues he hopes to address as a councillor. First is communication. He wants to be part of a council that lays out a clear path that is understood by the community, business and city

staff. “We really need to chart a new path,” he said. We need to say, ‘Here’s where we’re going,’ so that the community knows where were going, the businesses know where we’re going and city staff knows where they’re going on.” The second major issue he brought up is economic development, which he said is essential to growing Revelstoke’s population. “We need to look at everything we can put on the table to move the community forward economically,” he said. Some ideas he raised were lowering DCCs to encourage new home building, bringing the ratio of business and residential taxes in line with the provincial average (currently Revelstoke has one of the highest ratios in the province), and coming up with incentives to attract new businesses or encourage existing ones to expand. “Any kind of new long-term business or existing business that generates economic activ-

ity — let’s get out the message we’re open for business,” he said. He added he’s not in favour of cuts at city hall if it could hurt the community. For example, if more staff are needed to help move through development permits, then council should look at that. “I’m here to grow the economy, not cut our way out of it,” he said. “I don’t think an aggressive austerity program is going to work. It’s going to put people out of good jobs. We’re here to work smarter, work better.” Orlando served as editor of the Times Review from 2008 to April 2014. He was perhaps best known for his extensive coverage of council and dogged pursuit of city issues. He is also on the board of the Columbia Valley Skateboard Association, which has been working to build a new skateboard park in Revelstoke. Since leaving his post at the paper he has been doing freelance work.

Karen Powers wants part of council conversation

Life-long Revelstoke resident Karen Powers is taking a step into the political ring with a run for council. “I care about Revelstoke and I think we need a change for the

better and to move forward,” she told the Times Review last week. She announced her candidacy earlier in the summer and the I caught up with her last week. Powers is the owner of Conversations, the cafe on Mack-

enzie Avenue that is popular with an older crowd. She has also worked for CP Rail, Selkirk Cedar and the Peaks Lodge, giving her experience in almost all facets of Revelstoke’s economy. She was born in Revelstoke and has two children in their mid-20s who also live here. She wants to bring her experience to the council table, and bring a focus on growing the economy. “I feel that we need to — and everybody says the same thing — we have to move forward in industry and tourism and diversify what we have in Revelstoke,” she said. “We have potential to grow in a positive way and we just have to attract industry into Revelstoke for higher paying jobs rather than just minimum wage jobs.” She talked about introducing tax incentives to attract new businesses and encourage existing ones to expand. “Per-

haps there’s other ways we can help the businesses to grow, to make it worth their while to come here,” she said. “It can’t just be the beauty of the mountains. That will keep them here.” Her vision is that of a community that works together, something she feels the community has lost. She said her customers, many of whom spend quite a bit of time at her cafe talking about local issues, tell her the city needs change in order to grow. Infrastructure issues like the Big Eddy Waterworks will have to be addressed. While she is not part of any community organizations, she said does what she can to help out, such as promoting the vintage car show. “This is my hometown,” she said. “My children want to live here. I’ve never ever thought of moving, so I want to be part of looking after where I live.”

Construction of affordable housing project delayed until spring Alex Cooper

Avalanche Canada unveils new logo Contributed by AVALANCHE CANADA

BANFF, AB — After 10 years of serving as Canada’s national public avalanche safety organization, today the Canadian Avalanche Centre announced its new name and unveiled a new logo. “Avalanche Canada will continue to provide the same award-winning and internationally recognized programs that have been developed over the past decade,” said executive director Gilles Valade. “As we look forward to our next 10 years, we wanted to create a brand identity that is separate from the Canadian Avalanche Association, the organization that serves and supports professional avalanche workers in Canada.” Avalanche Canada will continue to use avalanche.ca as its website address, so there will be no change to where users go for avalanche safety information. Avalanche Canada will

also continue the strong tradition of collaborating with public and private partners to fund its programs, which are designed for recreational winter backcountry users of all types. Attending today’s launch were representatives from the Alberta Government and the Government of BC, both of whom announced continued commitments to public avalanche safety. British Columbia will support in Avalanche Canada in 2014/15 with $450,000. This includes $150,000 from Emergency Management BC in the Ministry of Justice, $250,000 in community gaming grants from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, and $50,000 from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Alberta will support Avalanche Canada in 2014/15 with $250,000. This includes $226,000 from Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, and $24,000 from Culture and Tourism.

Ongoing delays have caused the Revelstoke Community Housing Society to put off construction on its affordable housing project until at least the spring. "It's a combination of everything," said Mark McKee, the chair of the housing society. "What happened is we just ran out of time. I thought that we would be starting construction but we had to put it off. It's been one thing after another." The issue is that there are still items needed before the city can

award a building permit, said Dean Strachan, the manager of development services for the city. He said engineering drawings are lacking but more importantly, they are waiting on verification from the Homeowner Protection Office. "They have to complete the process and these are things we don't have any choice about," said Strachan. "The HPO is provincial regulation so issuing a permit without that satisfied is illegal." McKee said the housing society is close to being finished with the approvals, but the process has been bigger and taken longer than

anticipated. "We're on the door step of all of our approvals, which will allow us to go to BC Housing for our final approval," he said. He said the project would likely go out for a new tender once all the permits are in place so the society can then get the final funding approved by BC Housing. McKee said he is confident the funding, expected to be around $1.2 million, will still be in place come the spring. "Hopefully, fingers-crossed, we'll be starting in the spring," he said.

LETTERS POLICY

Friday's incident in which a bear was killed after becoming treed downtown highlights the need for a Conservation Officer in Revelstoke, though it’s only one of many reasons we need one. Revelstoke has been without a CO since December when Sgt. Adam Christie retired and was not replaced by the Ministry of the Environment. Two COs had to be called in from Vernon to deal with Friday’s situation in which a bear wound up trapped in a tree on First Street West (see page 1 and 2 for more on the situation). The bear was first spotted in the tree early in the morning, but it took until 11 a.m. for the COs to make it to Revelstoke. In the meantime, an RCMP officer had to monitor the bear for several hours — a waste of resources. The responding COs did an excellent job at managing a situation that could have become quite dangerous, with more than 100 people gathered about to look at the bear and watch officials get it out of the tree. They were able to get the bear out of tree while ensuring the safety of the bear and the public. Sue Davies, the Bear Aware coordinator for Revelstoke, told me the incident illustrates the bear problem in Revelstoke. "We

wouldn't have quite so many bears being habituated to humans and comfortable in town if we didn't allow them to get into food," she said. Still, she noted several issues with the lack of a CO in town. First, there's the delay in response time since a CO has to come from either Golden or Vernon. Second, the lack of CO here means there's no help with preventing such incidents. "If COs were here earlier, they could work with people, work with hazing the animals early on. This situation wouldn't have to happen," she said. "When the COs arrive, they're trained to deal with this, they're calm. They manage the situation really well in comparison to having people who are not trained in the situation. "It's invaluable to have COs here and Bear Aware would certainly support any move towards getting a CO stationed back here in Revelstoke." Gary Krestinsky, the president of the Revelstoke Rod & Gun Club said the lack of a CO is causing issues in the bush, with incidents of illegal fishing and hunting going without a response. "There's all sorts of violations going on and nobody's out checking the hunters and fishermen for licenses. Years ago it was done on a regular basis," he said. "When there's a presence, people in general will tow the line. Without a presence, people are getting away with a lot more illegal activities.” As well, Rod & Gun Club members are being called out handle situations a CO would normally deal with. Recently, club members were called on by the Conservation Officer Service to deal with two moose that were shot but not killed by hunters. "We're being used as surrogates," he said. "We don't mind helping them out but it is their responsibility and they are putting it off on the RCMP and/or the Rod & Gun Club

and other agencies." The Ministry of the Environment cited the lack of calls from Revelstoke into the RAPP line as the reason for removing the CO here. “The review for the deployment of officers in the Columbia Kootenay zone found that moving the Conservation Officer position from Revelstoke to Golden would provide the best level of service to the entire zone and enhance the safety and mutual operation of the zone,” wrote Mary Polak, the Minister of the Environment, in a July letter to Krestinsky. “This decision was based on an assessment of public complaints and consideration for the safety and wellbeing of our officers.” As a result of this short-sighted decision, officers in Golden and Vernon respond to incidents here, but they are overstretched and can’t respond to most incidents. "Only in emergencies will they show up from Golden or Vernon," said Krestinsky. “Our issue is not with the COs, it’s with the Ministry of the Environment. The COs are overworked and we’d like to emphasize that,” he added. “We would like to emphasize to the public that there is no coverage so the rules are being flagrantly violated and there is a serious risk of human safety when the CO is not immediately available. “We believe the situation is serious enough that it has to be rectified immediately.” Revelstoke needs a Conservation Officer. There's obvious short-term impacts like dealing with problem bears and checking for over-fishing. There's also a long-term impact that could result from a lack of enforcement of regulations. The rural Revelstoke area is vast and there are already stresses on wildlife. We don't need more issues being caused by a lack of enforcement.

Revelstoke Poverty Reduction: Creating Shared Prosperity Early Childhood Development

Part 5 of a Series

Poverty in Revelstoke By Jill Zacharias

Since 2003, the Revelstoke Early Childhood Development Committee has been working hard to support children aged 0–6 in our community. From a poverty reduction point of view, the importance of this work cannot be underestimated. Poverty can affect a child’s development, ability to learn, do well in school, and even future employment options. A child’s early experiences literally ‘sculpt’ the developing brain. Community-wide support for early childhood development is a high priority community goal in the Revelstoke Poverty Reduction Strategy. By providing accessible programming, resources, support for child care and families, the ECD committee is helping Revelstoke children establish a solid foundation that will likely support them into adulthood. First Call’s Child Poverty Report Card (based on Statistics Canada) tells us that in 2013 B.C. had a child poverty rate of 18.6 per cent — the worst rate of any province in Canada. B.C. children under age six had a poverty rate of 20.7 per cent, which is eight per cent higher than the

Canadian average. This means that in B.C., one in five young children are poor. The ECD Committee is undertaking several initiatives to address child poverty in Revelstoke. The work of the ECD Committee is based on beliefs outlined in the Revelstoke Children’s Charter and a vision that sees Revelstoke as a caring community that “acknowledges, values and supports the shared responsibility of investing in young children so that they may live, learn, play and dream in safe and healthy surroundings.” The success of their work is measured by Revelstoke consistently having the lowest Early Development Instrument (EDI) scores in the province for a number of years. The EDI measures the vulnerability of children as they enter kindergarten in five areas known to be good predictors of adult health, education and social outcomes — physical health and well being, emotional maturity, social competence, language and cognitive development, communication skills and general knowledge. Collaboration is an essential piece of the ECD committee’s mission. Committee members include everyone from parents and early learning service providers to representatives from Interior Health and the Revelstoke School District. Working together has long been a priority. This level of collaboration is unique and has been upheld as a positive example throughout the province. So, although it was exciting and meant a great deal to many people, it was no real surprise

that in July of this year Revelstoke was chosen as one of the first 12 Early Years Centre sites by the provincial government as part of the BC Early Years Strategy. The provincial goal is to provide families with meaningful access to a range of services and supports, information and referrals. The additional funding was welcomed by the committee and will be used to step up the commitment to young children in our community by deepening collaboration and coordination, strengthening early screening opportunities, addressing barriers to accessing programs and services, and ensuring program continuity. In other words, do what they are already doing, only better and with a community early years team approach. Early childhood development is the first and most critical phase of human growth. By providing a range of services for both families and children, we can increase the likelihood that children will receive the benefits of both rich learning opportunities and responsive caregiving experiences. This supports healthy brain development and a positive social environment. The end goal is to enable children to grow as individuals, achieve in school, become productive contributors to society, have improved lifelong health and well-being — and will go far to prevent poverty down the road.

Birch and Lace hoping to put some green into your hair MELISSA JAMESON

Special to the Times Review

Barely five minutes into the interview Birch and Lace owner Sara Jeffery asks if she can tell me about the newly opened hair salon's waste diversion program. For Jeffery, who is as passionate about the environment as she is about hair styling, it's a huge piece of what Birch and Lace, the new downtown hair salon, is offering its customers. “Usually in a salon there is a ton of waste,” she said. “I started doing hair really young, but I

am also an environmentalist. I always had those two worlds separate but I wanted them to be combined. The hair industry can be very toxic and I didn't talk about it in my environmental life because there was no bridge.” Jeffery began to research and found there were salons using sustainable, eco-conscious methods. One of the lines Birch and Lace carries is John Masters Organics. Jeffery explained that when Masters opened his clean air salon in New York in the mid1990s it was one of the first of its kind in North America.

“I realized it was possible,” Jeffery said. One of the primary goals of the salon is waste diversion. Everything, including hair and left over dye, is re-purposed or recycled. Instead of going to the landfill, hair will be swept up and shipped off to be made into hair booms – basically your left over hair will be used to soak up oil spills. As if that isn't cool enough, Birch and Lace, who are members of Green Circle Salons, have a bin they'll scrape left over dye into. Once they have three

Fall into fitness with Revelution Lindsay MacPhee

Special to the Times Review

Revelution has introduced the TRX suspension training system to Revelstoke photo Lindsay Macphee

Just in time for the fall rains, Revelution, Cyle|Pilates|Strength, has opened its doors to the community, providing another option for indoor fitness. Setting themselves apart from the rest, their classes include indoor cycling, TRX suspension training, pilates, yoga and a variety of fusion classes pairing these disciplines together. Once a vision of Stephanie China's (Keen-A), now coming into fruition with the help of husband and business partner, Jeff Honig, Revelution is set to amp up the fitness environment bringing enthusiasm along with new elements. Growing up as a figure skater,

dancer and downhill ski racer as a child, training was always a big part of China's life. This, along with a mother who taught aerobics, helped develop her passion for activity and fitness. Her desire to create experiences with others led her to guiding whitewater rafting, hiking and joining the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides (ACMG) as an Assistant Ski Guide. Honig, also a member of both the International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations (IFMGA) and the ACMG, is the operations manager at Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing. The couple came together through their passion for skiing and rock climbing, mountain biking and travelling around the world.

The birth of the couples' first child made China decide guiding and being away from home was not where she wanted to be. "I didn't want to miss out on anything" she says, so she decided to stay at home. While parenting, China chose to take her pilates instructor certification and began teaching. With both of them being avid skiers, bikers and climbers, it was doubtful parenthood would prevent them from moving on with their next adventure for too long. Now, their children a little older, it was time for China to make her next move. "I always knew I wanted to have a gym... and having turned 40, I just needed to do something." China can now add certified

From there it will be added to waste from other Green Circle Salons until there is enough for a waste management company to pick it up, where it will be further broken down and re-used as ash for road construction or turned into energy that BC Hydro will use. “Anything we can recycle in Revelstoke we're doing that. Everything else we'll call and Green Circle will do a pick up,” said Jeffery. indoor cycling, Can Fit Pro Fitness and TRX Group Suspension instructor to her list of credentials. Supported by experienced staff, China and Honig hope that Revelution can be a place people can get excited about and have fun training. With 12 top of the line Schwinn, chain-driven cycling bikes and 12 TRX stations, Revelution is focusing on smallgroup fitness, incorporating functional training to replicate movement in everyday life. Their cycling classes offer fun, low-impact cardio to upbeat music, while their pilates classes aim to strengthen and develop core muscles critical for alignment, posture and stability. The TRX suspension system was developed by a Navy Seal and helps build strength, balance and stability simultaneously, leveraging gravity and one’s own body weight to modify the amount of impact; making it extremely beneficial for rehabilitation. With their self-motivating attitudes, China and Honig hope to carve out a niche market with their offerings, while encouraging all levels of ability to become engaged in building better bodies. Check out their website www.Revelution. ca for class schedules and online booking, or stop in and check out the space at 113 Second Street East, Unit C, and meet China herself; this powerhouse is full of positive energy and ready to share her knowledge and fervor with others.

In keeping with the ecoconscious theme, much of the furniture in the 1,500-squarefoot space is re-purposed. The waiting area is composed of benches made from old pallets, a drafting table acts as the reception desk, and an old ladder displays two of the eco-conscious style lines Jeffery has chosen to sell.

During the interview, Jeffery leads me into a separate area of the space where she says she'll feature the work of local artists on a sixmonth rotating basis. So far she has had 20 artists send enquiries to her. Just a little further down the short hallway, we enter the “colour bar.”

“We formulate the colour right in front of you,” said Jeffery. She offers to let me smell one of the colour mixes. Surprisingly, it smells more like something I want to eat than the usual harsh ammonia smell I am used to. “We're a clean air salon, so we avoid ammonia and harsh chemicals,” said Jeffrey. “We

have no aerosol products and no services that have pollutants.” Currently there are three stylists (Jeffrey, Pam Jensen and Alyssa Sanderson). Jeffery says is important for people to know is that the stylists see themselves as a team that works together. “We want people to feel

comfortable seeing all of us,” she said. Birch and Lace, located at 113 Second Street East, is open Tuesday to Thursday from 10 a.m. Until 8 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m to 6 p.m and Sunday from 12 p.m to 5 p.m. As of November the salon will also be open Mondays.

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark's government launched its fall legislative session Monday with a speech from the throne offering progress on resource trade, partnership with aboriginal people and labour peace with public school teachers. The speech described B.C. following the same path to Asia for liquefied natural gas as it did in expanding lumber trade when the U.S. housing market declined. "Like forestry, B.C.'s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States," said the speech, read by Lt. Governor Judith Guichon. "But the Amer-

ican shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back." The gas industry employs 1,700 people in the Fort Nelson area alone, and can be maintained only by reaching Asian markets. The speech notes that Chinese LNG consumption rose by a fifth in the first half of 2014. "This is a chance – not a windfall," the government notes, after one of the leading investment groups warned of shifting conditions that could delay its participation. The speech identified successful First Nations forestry companies Duz Cho Logging in northeast B.C., Haico on Haida Gwaii and Klahoose Forestry on the

central coast as models for similar cooperation on natural gas development. The government plans to table framework legislation this month to define the environmental standards and tax structure for the LNG industry, which has more than a dozen international players considering development. The speech described the recent six-year labour agreement with B.C. teachers after a strike that stretched from spring to the early weeks of the fall school term. "British Columbia can look forward to five years of labour peace," the speech said. "This is unprecedented. We cannot let this opportunity pass."

Literacy Hits the Streets in Revelstoke Contributed by CBAL

Community leaders and volunteers will join Black Press and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy on October 8 to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and to celebrate the power literacy has in Revelstoke. The Fourth Annual Reach a Reader campaign will raise funds for Revelstoke’s communitybased literacy programs. Why? Literacy is important to all British Columbians! It impacts every aspect of our lives: healthcare, crime rates, employment and economic status. Despite its essential role in life, at least 40 per cent of B.C. adults have difficulty reading a newspaper, filling out a work application, reading a map, or understanding a lease – and this percentage is increasing. “The Reach a Reader cam-

Goose parent Gaila Hemphill says, “We still sing songs that we learned in Mother Goose! Last night for bedtime was Slippery Fish, Fly on the Wind, and Oh Canada in English and French! Mother Goose is a great program — so valuable for the kids and parents!” You can support the Reach a Reader campaign by making a donation in exchange for a special edition of the Revelstoke Times Review on October 8. Volunteers will be hitting the streets with papers in hand at Coopers and Grizzly Books from 10 a.m. To 5 p.m. You may also donate online at cbal.org. To learn more about community-based literacy programs in Revelstoke contact Tracy Spannier, Revelstoke’s Community Literacy Coordinator, at tspannier@cbal.org or call 250-8052305.

paign reminds people that literacy skills are important if we are to succeed in today’s world,” says Tracy Spannier, Revelstoke Community Literacy Coordinator “When we hear the word literacy many of us think 'you can read or you can't read.’ Of course, literacy is about reading and writing, but it is also about the ability to express our ideas, think critically, and use technology. Literacy is wide and all-encompassing. Literacy is having the skills you need, to do what you want to do in your life.” In Revelstoke, funds raised will help support family literacy programs such as Mother Goose and Family Night Out. These programs help parents to support early learning and language development. We know that children who can hear and say rhyming sounds will find it easier to learn how to read later on. Mother

Fire, from page 14 the structure in order to finalize the IAP for the Fire. Armed with an action plan, the chief directs the firefighters. Every fire is complex in its own way and presents challenges and strategies for safe extinguishment. Depending on the situation, fire attack may be indirect (from the outside) or direct (from the interior). Direct fire attack is always more risky and must be used with caution. In all situations where there is risk of firefighters encountering a contaminated atmosphere, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is donned. Firefighters may be assigned as an attack team to go into the structure armed with an 1.5" fire hose, radio, light, and irons (axe and halligan tool) to search and apply water to the seat of the fire. This is termed an interior attack. If this strategy is used, a rapid intervention team must be established within 10 minutes of the first attack team entering the burning structure. This team is equipped with specialized extrication tools and their sole purpose to rescue downed firefighters if required. The incident ommander would be requesting site support from fire dispatch. Other agencies need to be responding to assist us are BC Hydro to cut the power to the structure, Fortis BC to address gas if needed, BC Ambulance for rehab

or medical for our firefighters or occupants, and RCMP for traffic control. Another agency that gets dispatched shortly into the fire is Emergency Social Services, who are a group of volunteers through Emergency Management BC that come to the aid of the occupants who have been displaced to provide shelter, food and lodging for up to three days. As no two structure fires are ever the same, firefighters may be assigned to a whole gamut of fire operations. They would be assigned by the incident commander from staging to duties such as scene lighting, ventilation, ground ladders, exposure lines, turning off gas metres, attack or search teams, salvaging property or overhauling the fire. Once the fire has been knocked down, overhaul and salvage are complete and the scene is secured, the command is transferred to the fire inspector who then begins a lengthy and in-depth task of investigating and examining the cause of the fire. This can include interviewing and taking statements from witnesses and examination of evidence leading up to, during and after the fire. All fire engines, Ladder 6 and command vehicles are then released from the scene once investigation begins. They may refuel and then return to the station to wash and reload hoses, wash and reload SCBA Packs, wash the trucks and

Home fire safety tips Kitchen

• Avoid loose long sleeves when cooking. • Check kettles and toasters for damaged electrical cords and thermostats. • Use appliances that have an automatic shutoff. • Keep a timer handy to remind you when the oven and burners should be switched off. • If you take medication that causes drowsiness, do not use cooking appliances. • Use a temperature controlled electric skillet or deep-fryer for frying. • Never leave your cooking unattended. • Use appropriate cooking appliances and keep them clean. • Keep a pot cover nearby to “put a lid on it” in the event of a fire.

Living Room • Fireplace: always use a fire screen, ensuring it is the appropriate size for the fireplace opening. • Do not overload electrical outlets or use extension cords in the place of additional outlets. • Smokers should check furniture for fallen cigarettes or embers, which can smoulder undetected for hours before bursting into flames. • Ensure careful use of smoking materials and extinguish in water before disposal. • Never leave cigarettes in an ashtray unattended. • Use ashtrays with a double rim and deep centre. • Keep matches, lighters and lit candles out of the reach of children. • Never leave lit candles unattended.

Entrance/Exit

• Fire extinguishers should always be mounted at exits

Bedroom

• Install at least one smoke alarm outside each sleeping area. For improved safety, install a smoke alarm in every bedroom. • Check electrical appliances regularly: electric blankets, heating pads, curling irons, radios, televisions, irons. • Bedrooms should be non-smoking areas.

Basement and Attic

• Remove all combustible and flammable materials from the basement and attic. • Store gasoline in well-ventilated areas. • Do not store propane indoors. • Use only approved containers to store and transport gasoline. • Have a thorough yearly maintenance check of the furnace carried out by a professional. • When replacing an old furnace, consult a professional to determine the most safe, economical and efficient system for your home. • Chimneys should be cleaned once a year.

Common sense fire prevention can save lives In 1911, on the 40th anniversary of the Chicago fire, an inferno that destroyed 18,000 buildings, killed 300 people and left a third of the city’s population homeless, the Fire Marshals Association of North America declared Fire Prevention Day. It’s since grown to an entire week of public education programs and events to remind people that the best way to avoid fire tragedies is to prevent them from happening in the first place. According to Fire Prevention Canada, an average of eight people die in fires every week in Can-

ada, and almost three-quarters of those are in residential fires. Having a primary and secondary escape route planned and practiced can help save lives. So can common sense safety tips like: • never leave cooking on the stove unattended • don’t start cooking if you take medication that causes drowsiness • don’t overload electrical outlets • keep lighters and matches out of the reach of children • check batteries in smoke detectors

• check electrical appliances for frayed wiring regularly • don’t store propane tanks indoors • clean chimneys annually • clean the lint filter before using a clothes dryer And while candles might seem romantic and cosy, they’re also one of the most common causes of household fires. Don’t leave burning candles unattended. Don’t fall asleep while using candles. Don’t put them in high traffic areas where they might be knocked over, and don’t let them burn beyond two inches from their

holder. Develop and practice a fire escape plan. Ensure all windows and doors can be unlocked and opened, then figure out two ways to escape from each room, including hallways and stairs. When fleeing a fire, be sure to close all doors behind you. Set up a place to meet when everyone is out. And don’t dawdle; the increased use of synthetic materials in homes has contributed to faster, more toxic fires, reducing the escape time over the past 25 years from 17 minutes to as little as three minutes.

Mount Polley mine disaster should be a wake up call

Mla Report

by Norm Macdonald In addition to representing your concerns in the Legislature, I am also responsible for monitoring and critiquing BC Liberal mines policy. This summer saw the collapse of the retaining wall at Mount Polley Mine near Likely, in Brit-

ish Columbia's Cariboo region. This disaster led to 25 million litres of waste material and fluid pouring into pristine Quesnel Lake. This truly devastating failure was described by Mines Minister Bill Bennett as not much different than your average avalanche. This description by the man in charge was both dismissive and hugely inaccurate. Not only did this event result in serious environmental damage, it also led to job losses and a black eye for our mining industry. There have been over 20 tailing pond collapses worldwide since 2001, and they are almost always the result of sloppy design

or poor maintenance. They should never happen, and British Columbians would expect that our government would ensure that they wouldn't happen here. We know that the BC Liberals cut provincial employees who were responsible for monitoring mining. 30% of the staff that used do this work are no longer employed by government. The number of mine inspections is half the number completed in 2001. This lack of oversight tarnishes our province's reputation as a jurisdiction that takes environmental assessment seriously, and that can impact not only the world's view of our mining industry but also that of other resource-based industries.

And we know that there are no real penalties levied against companies that fail to comply with the law. There is little enforcement and virtually no punishment for those companies that do not fulfill their responsibility. We know in the years leading up to the collapse of the retaining wall at Mount Polley, the provincial government permitted substantial increases in mining beyond the design capacity of the Mount Polley tailings facility. We know the engineering firm that designed the tailing facility warned government there were dangers in how the tailings pond was being managed. We know government was informed in 2010 about cracks

across the front of the retaining wall that ultimately collapsed. We know there were reports of water breaching the retaining walls this past May. The Mount Polley disaster really should be a wake up call to every British Columbian. If you go to bed at night thinking that this government is doing its job protecting workers, rural communities and our land, lakes and rivers, you would be mistaken. Mount Polley proves, once again, that we need to demand better. Norm Macdonald is the MLA for Columbia River-Revelstoke and the NDP critic for mines.

Grizzlies lose two on road ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Grizzlies dropped both of its games on the weekend, falling on the road to the Osoyoos Coyotes and Kamloops Storm. On Saturday the Grizzlies were in Osoyoos to take on the undefeated Coyotes. The game was a back-and-forth affair with the teams trading goals until Osoyoos took the lead for good late in the second period. Josh Pilon scored his first KIJHL goal at 13:17 of the first to open the scoring, but Drew Carter scored for Osoyoos less than two minutes later to tie the game. In the second, the teams traded goals. Aaron Azevedo scored for Osoyoos, with Riley Creighton responding for Revelstoke in his first game of the season. Osoyoos would take the lead once more, but Griffin Fried was able to tie

things up for Revelstoke a few minutes later. A power play goal by Troy Maclise with 67 seconds left in the period put Osoyoos up for good. Azevedo made it 5-3 with four minutes left in the third and the Coyotes added an empty netter for a 6-3 win. On Sunday it was time for a match against the Kamloops Storm in a game where Kamloops jumped out to an early lead and didn't let up. Brayden Dale opened the scoring 65 seconds into the game to give Kamloops a one goal lead. The home team added two more goals by the end of the period, then two more in the second to take a commanding 5-0 lead into the third period. They made it 6-0 only 13 seconds into the third period. Carter Huber scored mid-way through the third to get Revelstoke on the board and break the Storm shutout. The final
