Emily Suchy wins three gold medals at Canada Winter Games

Emily Suchy won all three of her para-Nordic sit-ski races at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George, B.C., last week. “It’s pretty amazing. I’m super stoked. I’m really happy,” she said on her return home to Revelstoke Monday morning. “It was a really fun week.” Heading into the games, Suchy was unsure of what to expect. The Canadian para-Nordic community is a small one, and she normally competes against able-bodied athletes in races around B.C. Her last major national competition was the Canadian National Championships in March 2013, where she won two gold and two silver, including wins over six-time Paralympian Colette Bourgonje. In Prince George, Suchy raced against four other sit-skiers. They were a small group amongst the 2,400 athletes at the games. The huge closing ceremonies reminded her of the Hunger Games movies, she said. The races were in the afternoon, which presented a challenge for Suchy, who is used to competing in the morning. “I tried to sleep in and relax in the morning,” she said. “Do some general race prep and telling myself there’s nothing I can do and make the best of however I’m feeling.” She went into the competion aiming to podium in all of her races. In the end, she stood on top each time, easily topping the women’s field and posting times that were competitive with the men. Suchy started her week on Monday, Feb. 26, with a gold medal in the 2.5 kilometre race, finishing more than two minutes ahead of runner-up Tanya Quesnel. On Tuesday, Suchy raced to first in the 800 metre spring, finishing 20 seconds ahead of Quesnel. Suchy capped off her week with another convincing win in the fivekilometre race on Thursday, finishing in 18:20.8 — almost 3:40 faster than Quesnel. Suchy has Perthes Syndrome, which limits the mobility in her hips, preventing her to compete in regulard cross-country skiing races. She took up ski-skiing as a way to get out on the trails with her friends. Unfortunately, this is the highest level Suchy will be able to compete at because she doesn’t meet the guidelines for international competition. “My strength and flexibility is too great to fit these guidelines,” she said. “I tried to argue against it because I clearly can’t standing-ski. I fall between the cracks between able bodied and para-Nordic, which is really frustrating.” She said she wants to continue in the sport, but isn’t sure because of her inability to move up to bigger competition. “To really perform at a high level you need to go outside the country,” she said. “I haven’t quite decided what I’m going to do with it next year. I think I’m going to switch my focus to another sport — probably biking this summer.” Suchy’s next competition is the Canadian championships in Thunder Bay, Ont., starting March 11.

Wayne Stetski running for NDP Former Cranbrook mayor will attempt to end Conservative stranglehold over KootenayColumbia riding in 2015 Federal election. ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The former mayor of Cranbrook will attempt to unseat MP David Wilks in the riding of Kootenay– Columbia. Wayne Stetski, who spent his career working for BC Parks and the BC Ministry of the Environment, before entering local politics, is running for the New Democratic Party in the 2015 federal election. “I truly believe in public service,” he said when asked why he was running. “I’ve spent my whole life serving the public and I think this is a way I can help the constituents here in the Kootenay-Columbia riding.” Stetski faces an uphill battle in attempting to unseat Wilks, who won the seat by almost 10,000 votes in 2011, and who’s Conservative predecessor Jim Abbott held the seat for 18 years.

Stetski was unsuccessful in his 2014 re-election bid, losing by more than 1,000 votes despite increasing his own vote count. Still, he said he was proud of his record. After losing the election, Stetski wrote himself a letter asking himself the reasons he should run federally for the NDP. “The answer came very clearly and very quickly that under Harper’s Conservative government, I’m starting to miss the Canada that I know and love,” he said. Stetski came up with four main issues while writing his letter: — The changing role of the military away from peacekeeping, and the treatment of veterans. — The cuts to the CBC. “I think we need more

RCEC fire: Damage to roof delaying investigation ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The amount of damage done to Revelstoke's district heating plant is still being investigated, several days after the building caught fire. Geoff Battersby, the chair of the Revelstoke Community Energy Corporation, said last week that an insurance adjustor had visited the site, but the fire inspector hasn't been able to enter the building. "He can't complete his business yet because of the fact there's dangers with the roof," said Battersby. "WorkSafeBC is here and they will be issuing their edicts about what has to be done from a safety pointof-view." The RCEC plant, which is located on Downie Street next the Downie Timber mill, caught fire late in the night of Sunday, Feb. 25. It took Revelstoke Fire Rescue Services about three hours to extinguish the blaze. Battersby said the fire appeared to be restricted to the roof structure, which was severely damaged. The fire does not appear to have spread to the equipment down below, but there is water damage caused by efforts to extinguish the blaze. "It's really quite amazing how things look below the roof line," he said. "Debris was falling down so

there's lots of litter on the floor, but because the sprinkler system was going it was putting out things as they fell." The sprinkler system did not affect the fire, because it occurred in the roof, above the sprinklers. Battersby said the damaged roof will have to be removed from the building before the inspector can complete his work. The main control room, located at the front of the building, emerged unscathed, but there is likely damage to the electronics that run some of the systems. He said a demolition crew needs to be brought in to remove the roof. Once it is removed and the building is cleaned up, they’ll be able to get an idea of what’s needed to bring the plant back on line. The timeline for completely repairing the system remains unknown. "Hopefully things won't be as bad as they might have been, but it's still a pretty devastating thing," said Battersby. "It's going to take a while to get it back on track." RCEC acquired a boiler that was in the midst of being installed as of press time. The propane boiler will allow RCEC to resume providing heat to its customers, which includes Downie Timber, city hall, the community centre, the aquatic centre,

New exhibit Land of Thundering Snow launching Times Review staff

The Revelstoke Museum & Archives is launching their new exhibit on the history of avalanches in Canada this Wednesday, Mar. 4. Land of Thundering Snow — Snow Research and Avalanche Safety in Canada provides an interactive history of avalanches in Canada. It can be found both in the museum and online at the Virtual Museum of Canada. The exhibit consists of several components — a historical look at significant

avalanches in Canada history, information about avalanche science and safety, avalanche control, how avalanches happen, and the ecology of avalanches. The exhibit was curated thanks to $235,000 in funding from the Virtual Exhibits Investment Program of the Virtual Museum of Canada. John Woods served as the lead researcher on the project. Opening day coincides with the anniversary of the 1910 avalanche that killed 58 railway workers in Rogers Pass. The exhibit opening takes place in

Stetski, from page 2 country building, not less,” he said. — Lack of democracy in Ottawa. “It’s the fact that under the Conservative Harper government, every vote in Parliament is a whipped vote where you do what the PM and cabinet tell you to, no matter what the constituents feel back home,” he said. “That needs to change. We need an MP that will truly be a voice

for the people of the Kootenays.” — Cutbacks to environmental programs. “You need a sustainable environment to have sustainable economy,” he said. “The two need to go hand-in-hand as priorities.” Stetski said he opted to run for the NDP because the party’s priorities align with his own. He added they also stand the best chance of defeating the Conservatives in the riding, particularly with the addition

of the Nelson area. He took Wilks to task for his 2012 comments saying he couldn’t vote against the omnibus budget bill without the support of 12 of his Conservative colleagues, even if his constituents were opposed to it. “I think one of the fundamental questions going forward — who is going to best represent the concerns, the issues in Ottawa and make sure the voices of the Kootenays are

heard?” Stetski said. He said the big issues for the riding were highway improvements, the economy, and wages. He said the minimum wage should be raised gradually to $15 per hour, to make it closer to a living wage. He also said he would fight against federal downloading of services. “I want to make sure the federal government is taking on the roles and responsibilities they should be

on all of these issues,” he said. Stetski said he will be travelling the constituency from now until the election, which is set for Monday, Oct. 19. “I intend to be out there around the riding, meeting with people, inviting them to come to a local coffee shop and tell me what’s on their mind, and make sure once I’m elected those priorities are the ones I take to Ottawa,” he sad.

Council forgives golf club debt, forms task force ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke council agreed to waive the golf club's outstanding rent and sign a new lease with the club that would see it go rent free for the next two years while a task force works to study the golf club's future. “I don’t see any point in burdening them with a lease they can’t pay because I would rather them do what they have been doing, which is paying down their debt," said mayor Mark McKee during Tuesday's council meeting. "What’s the point of collecting money they can’t afford, then have them pay less down on their debt, or have the debt increasing?" The Revelstoke Golf Club leases the golf course from the city. According to a staff report, the Revelstoke Golf Club has not paid its rent for the past year and owes the city about $43,000, including taxes and interest. There was some hesitation to the request, with councillor Connie Brothers saying she was concerned about eliminating future rent. “I think it has to be limited to a certain period of time and we can review it then," she said. Her suggestion was seconded by coun. Gary Sulz. "I understand the point of writing off the rent because they don’t have any money and I’m for us not beating a dead horse," he said, adding the agreement should be short-term. “We cannot continue to write off their financial obligations.” McKee proposed an amendment so the next lease would only be for two years. It was passed unanimously by council. The decision to waive the club's rent was followed by a vote to establish a task force to create a long-term sustainable plan for the club. The task force would be expected to develop a 10-year capital improvement plan for the club, make recommendations

for future priorities, investigate ways to ensure the club's is sustainable, help the club develop community partnerships and provide regular reports to council regarding maintenance issues. Part of the goal of the plan "would be to include options for funding that would remove the burden for fixing the Golf Clubhouse from the tax payer and utilize funding opportunities," states a staff report on the matter. The task force would include two golf club board members, one city councillor, a member from the Revelstoke Accommodation Association, one from the Chamber of Commerce, Rural Revelstoke director Loni Parker, and three members from the public at large. "The city is not going to turn its back on the golf club," said McKee. "It wants to be there, it wants to help, but it also wants to get the golf course into a sustainable future.”

COUNCIL MOVES ON MACKENZIE LANDING DEVELOPMENT Council gave staff the go ahead to begin work on a re-zoning application for the massive Mackenzie Landing development proposed for Arrow Heights. The plan is for a high-density, mixed-use development with upwards of 1,500 units on the property off Nichol Road, between Arrow Heights Elementary and Hay Road. The plan is to zone the 35-acre property as a comprehensive development zone, with multiple sub-zones. The re-zoning process would also include an extensive public consultation, including multiple open houses. “I’m glad about the augmented consultation process,” said councillor Aaron Orlando. “It’s big numbers as proposed and its really important we get it right.”

City of Revelstoke staff estimate there are 60–100 illegal vacation rentals advertising on sites like VRBO and AirBnB.com. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

His remarks were echoed by Mayor Mark McKee. “I think it will pay off in the long run,” he said. Coun. Linda Nixon said she appreciated the fact the proposal appears to take past feedback into consideration. “I really like the idea of the park buffer they are using between Biatecki and this new sub-division,” she said. “I think that will be really important.”

Students urge safe social media strategies TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Students celebrated Pink Shirt Day at the B.C. legislature Wednesday, Feb. 25, with poetry, drama and advice for students to avoid bullying and exploitation from predators using social media. The featured guest was Travis Price, who started Pink Shirt Day as a high school student in Nova Scotia in 2007. “Travis is a hero of the antibullying movement in this country, and he started something that won’t be stopped any time soon,” said Premier Christy Clark, who took up the cause after reading news reports about Price’s effort. Price saw two of his fellow grade 12 students harass a younger student for wearing a pink shirt, so he and his friend bought 75 pink tank tops and handed them out at the school the next day. They promoted the idea on social media and it caught on, with hundreds of students wearing pink to school. “It is hard to stand up for people, but it’s all about taking that risk and hoping you can make

Members of a B.C. student advisory committee released guidelines for safe online interaction to protect their privacy and prevent misuse or exploitation. The guidelines are posted at www.erasebullying.ca along with

general advice for students. The website also has a way for B.C. students to make an anonymous report that they are being bullied.

gate. If you’re good, they’ll leave you alone. The decision came in response to a staff report that estimates there is anywhere from 60 to 100 vacation rentals operating in Revelstoke. They advertise on sites like VRBO and AirBnCn. Eight applications have come in for legal vacation rentals. Councillor Connie Brothers said she was concerned a complaints-based policy would discourage people from legalizing their vacation rentals. Other councillors noted that having staff track down illegal rentals would take a lot of time and cost the city money. “People need to complain to city hall because we can’t pay our Commissionaires to drive down every road in Revelstoke,” said coun. Linda Nixon. Mayor Mark McKee supported the complaints-based policy. “The number one key of a vacation rental is don’t be a pain to your neighbourhood,” he said.

LETTERS POLICY

This is the third in a monthly series of columns from local elected officials. This month, councillor Linda Nixon, the chair of the city’s finance committee, writes about the budget. The first draft of the 20152019 budget for the City of Revelstoke was prepared by city staff and presented to mayor and council on February 20. Further meetings are planned that will give us the opportunity to both learn about municipal financial planning and to provide staff with direction in amending the plan as we move forward through the process. There will also be an opportunity for citizens to provide feedback on the financial plan through a public process. The main costs in providing city services are infrastructure needs such as water, sewer and roads. Parks and recreation provide a healthy environment for citizens to enjoy and engage with each other. The community undertook an Integrated Community Sustainability Plan in 2013 to

guide future planning for the economic, environmental and social needs of the community. Recently the new council met to develop a strategic plan to drive the next four years. The finished document should be completetd this month. Goals accompanied by objectives that are specific and measurable will keep Revelstoke moving forward. We have a diversified economy in that there is CPR, BC Hydro and a strong forestry industry in town. There is also a growing and healthy manufacturing sector. On the tourism side, our mountains and lakes offer a rich diversity of summer and winter sports including alpine and Nordic skiing, mountain biking, hiking, climbing, fishing, dirt biking and camping. Balancing our needs is 80 percent of the budget — the core. The wants are about 20 percent. Satisfying everyone with the tax pie is impossible. It is the job of the council to attempt in a very serious manner to make the pie palatable to all classes of the taxpayers — residential, commercial businesses, light manufacturers, heavy industry and utilities. There is also a small class of seasonal property. We have no private forest lands within the municipality. The first draft of the 20152019 budget was first studied by the new council on Friday, February 20. Mayor McKee

turned the meeting over to Graham Inglis, the finance director, to lead council through the document. The new council will ask the questions and make the decisions as the budget is shifted and shaped in budget meetings. There is a long standing policy in the City of Revelstoke that the total tax burden is shared equally between residential and business classes. For this budget, council will proceed without input from a community-based focus group. In the fall of 2015, the focus group will be called to add back a broader community voice at the budget table for future budgets. The goal is to have the 2016 budget done earlier than this one. As well as municipal taxes, the city collects tax for the school district, the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, the North Okanagan Regional Hospital Board, the Okanagan Library, the BC Assessment Authority, and the Municipal Finance Authority. Utility charges are also included in the residential tax payment statements. As these revenues come into the city coffers mid-year, due on July 2, the council of the day must pass a bylaw allowing the city to borrow from a line of credit from January to July if need be. This line of credit has not been used for several years and should not need to be used this year for the city of Revelstoke.

The assessment value of a home or business is done by BC Assessment, an independent body crown corporation of the provincial government. The City of Revelstoke has had a roller coaster of assessments in the last 10 years where housing assessments doubled then fell after the global recession. There is not a predictable, steady forecast of assessments. When assessments decrease, it becomes necessary to increase the tax rate for each tax class in order to maintain a particular budget level. This year, the overall assessment total is slightly up from last year. The previous council started a reserve fund to try to help buffer some of these changes which can affect the latter years of a multi-year budget. Another challenge to forecasting is inaccurate census data. The official current population of Revelstoke is 7,200 which swells in both winter and again in summer. Services need to be provided not only for the base population, but also for the seasonal increases. Many businesses benefit directly from the seasonal population surge. Many residents benefit from the enhanced tourism infrastructure such as the ski hill, the cross-country ski lodge with lights for night skiing, the snowmobiling cabin and groomer, enhancements which

Pink Shirt Day in Revelstoke ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke marked Pink Shirt Day last Wednesday, with people all over town decked out in pink. The day is marked to promote awareness about bullying. It started in Nova Scotia in 2007 after students wore pink shirts in support of another student who

was bullied for wearing pink. Since then, the day has been marked across Canada and recognized by the United Nations. Revelstoke's three elementary schools held special assemblies to mark the day — I made it to Begbie View and Columbia Park Elementary schools. At Begbie View, the focus was on kindness, with the grade 3/4

class reading out a poem encouraging students to "Choose kindness" — as it ended with a flourish. The school has adopted the slogan "be a buddy, not a bully." At Columbia Park, the focus for the day was on diversity. Students were encouraged to raise their hand and say what makes them unique. Many of them did.

From previous page came about as a result of the seasonal population surge. Revelstoke is one of fourteen local governments that is designated as a Resort Municipality by the Province of British Columbia. This gives the community additional tourism infrastructure monies from the Province in the form of a grant that must be used

to develop tourism infrastructure. This funding is administered by the Department of Community Economic Development, which is accountable to city council. A special two per cent hotel tax is collected by the province on every hotel room within city limits. This money is remitted to the city and flows from the city through to the Revelstoke Accommodation Association.

These funds can only be used for tourism promotion activities. The Regional District also has an Economic Opportunity Fund which can be used for projects in the area that meet the criteria of providing new economic projects. BC Hydro pays a grant in lieu of taxes. This grant is expected to increase when the sixth generating station is installed.

There are stories that wash over you like a tide, and then there are stories that grab you by the heart. Dave Gunning has made a point of finding the latter and wrapping them up in song since he broke upon the East Coast music scene in Canada back in 1997. Writing from a sonic menu that includes flavors of Irish, Scottish, French Acadian, folk and country musical styles, Dave transcends genre with songs that fill your senses and touch your soul.

Shred Kelly brings new album to town MELISSA JAMESON

Special to the Revelstoke Times Review

Ski town stoke-folk musicians Shred Kelly are currently taking their unique sound across the country and they'll be stopping in Revelstoke on Wednesday, March 11. Times Review freelancer Melissa Jameson recently chatted with vocalist and keyboard player Sage McBride about the band's newest album Sing to the Night, filming the video for the title track, and why their current tour includes stops off the skitown circuit. TR: Your video for Sing to the Night is pretty much a big tribute to everything 80s – fanny packs, hula-hoops, mullets, hot-doggin skiers -- where did the idea come from? Sage: We have this day in Fernie called hot dog day. People dress up in retro ski gear and hot dog down in a group. I've been

in Fernie for 10 years and that's always been a highlight. I thought it would be awesome if we could do a retro ski video. I also thought it would be really cool if we could film it all in one shot. Dylan Siggers, who filmed it for us, had to ski backwards the whole time. He's a pro skier, I don't think anyone else could have pulled it off. TR: Sing to the Night happens to also be the title of your recently released album. It's already received praise from various media (CBC, Exclaim Magazine, Aesthetic Magazine). Sage: We're excited with the reception of it. We worked with same producer as the last album [John Critchley]. He does a really great job at capturing the energy of our live sound, but translating that into the music. He always pushes us harder than we're able to push ourselves which is always what we want in the studio It's definitely different than our last work. Lyrically it's a bit more

thoughtful and we experimented with different tempos. TR: What was the most difficult aspect of recording Sing to the Night? Sage: I guess with the writing it's always just kind of figuring out which direction you want to go – you write a song and you love it but wonder if that's too far outside the genre we've kind of created. TR: How big of a factor are the ski resorts when planning to go on tour? Sage: On this tour, it wasn't as big of a factor. We still love going back to ski towns because we sort of did the ski town circuit. We're still hitting up some ski towns, but I guess the focus has been sort of to spread the music as far as possible. Ski towns are where our heart is, but this tour made sure we went across the entire country. Shred Kelly perform at the Traverse on Wednesday, March 11. Tickets are $10..

Bantams off to provincials It got worse, when a Revelstoke player was assessed major penalty. They killed it off, but that wasn't the end of their penalty trouble. Kamloops made it 9–7 late in the third, then 9–8 with about a minute to go. At this point, a clearly exhausted Revelstoke team was hanging on. There was a noticeable tension in the arena as Kamloops pulled their goalie for one final push. They pressured, but the puck stayed out and a joyful Revelstoke squad leapt in celebration. They will now be heading to the provincials in Fraser Lake, B.C., from March 15–20. They are the second Revelstoke team to qualify for provincials after the peewee team did so last week. Revelstoke's atom team play in their league finals tonight in Sicamous, where they take on Lumby. Last week, the boys tied Salmon Arm in Sicamous 4-4 and beat Vernon 12-1. They then faced Vernon again in the semi-finals, where the score was 6-3. That set the stage for tonight's game against Lumby.

The Bantam Grizzlies celebrate after holding on to beat Kamloops 9-8 on Saturday, earning themselves a spot in the provincial championships. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

The Revelstoke Bantam Grizzlies are off to the provincial championships after sweeping Kamloops in the Okanagan-Mainline Amateur Hockey Association Tier 4 league finals on Saturday. They didn't make it easy, that's for sure. Revelstoke won game one 3-0 in Kamloops last weekend. On Saturday, Kamloops was in Revelstoke, with the home team looking to secure their spot at the provincial championships. Things looked good for the first half, with Revelstoke dominating play and racking up a 9-2 lead by the middle of the second period. That's when things got interesting. Kamloops scored twice before the period was over to make it 9-4. They got two more goals in the first three minutes of the third. All of a sudden it was 9-6, with a lot of hockey left to play and Kamloops enjoying the advantage of a deeper bench; they had 10 extra skaters to Revelstoke's seven.

Rachel V. Dennis

Land Act: Notice of Intention to Apply for a Disposition of Crown Land

Rachel V. Dennis (née Drake) passed away peacefully in to the arms of Jesus, her Lord and Saviour on February 21, 2015. She was born in Portland, Oregon on September 28, 1921.

Take notice that Canadian Mountain Holidays Limited Partnership from Banff, AB, has applied to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO), Kootenay Region, for a License of Occupation situated on Provincial Crown land located at east of Trout Lake and containing 0.255 hectares more or less.

Rachel is survived by her son Jerry (Margaret) of Sandy Lake, Manitoba, grandchildren Jennifer Dennis (Paul) of Kingston, Ontario, Jamie Dennis (Shawn) of Syracuse, New York and six great grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother Sherman Drake and niece Janice Cannarile of Washington, nephews Wayne and Wynn Klein and nieces Wendy, Wanda and Willa of Oregon. Rachel moved to Brandon, Manitoba in 2009, when her son and daughter-in-law relocated there. She resided at Victoria Landing Retirement Residence and later, Fairview Home. She enjoyed Victoria Landing, having her own suite. In keeping with her easy going personality, she thought both were great places to live.

There was always room at the table for one more. She never met anyone she didn’t like. A Funeral Service was held on Monday, March 2, 2015 at the Fellowship Baptist Church in Revelstoke. Interment followed in Mountain View Cemetery, Revelstoke, along with her husband Les’ ashes.
