IT’S BACK TO SCHOOL TIME! As we near the end of summer and start gearing up for the beginning of a new school year, your child’s eye exam should be added to that never ending school to-do list.

Did you know that 1 in 4 children has an undiagnosed vision or ocular health problem? And that 80% of learning is visual. Help facilitate your child’s development (and getting straight A’s in school) by ensuring their eyes are healthy and that they are seeing their very best!

While on the subject of eyes, it is also important to know that refractive error “prescription of the eyes” can change with age. A common myth is that the eye is at its full size at birth... the eye continues to grow with children and is the reason refractive error can continue to change.

Growth spurts can lead to drastic changes in refractive error and makes routine eye examinations even more crucial for children.

Come see us today to help get the children ready for back to school!

Alex Cooper Last week, as wind blew smoke from raging fires in the western United States to Revelstoke, a strange thing happened. While smoky skies and air quality advisories were issued for much of the Kootenays, Okanagan and Shuswap, there were no such warnings for this area.

Why was that? Was it not so bad here, despite the fact visibility was less than a few kilometres at points?

To find out, I called the B.C. Ministry of the Environment, where, after three calls, I finally heard back from Ralph Adams, an air quality meteorologist based out of Kamloops.

The answer was both simple and discouraging.

"When we issued the advisory earlier this week for the whole Kootenay and Boundary region we assumed that included Revelstoke & Golden," he told me. "We found out later according to Environment Canada you're part of a different region."

That answered one question, but our conversation revealed some other interesting things.

The first is that there is no air quality monitoring station in Revelstoke. There was one until last year, when it was removed from the roof of the fire hall — a decision made by city staff.

"It was installed with the intention to help monitor the air when we had the Downie Street beehive burner," said Dawn Levesque, the corporate officer for the City of Revelstoke.

The agreement with the Ministry of the Environment expired in 2012 and because the machine made it difficult to shovel the roof, it was removed last year. "There were always liability issues with the equipment," Levesque said.

There were discussions to move the equipment to the roof of the new Visitor Information Centre, but those fell apart.

"They seemed keen and we sent stuff back and forth, and then they just dropped off the map,"

said Alan Mason, the city's director of economic development. "I don't know what happened."

Without an air quality monitoring station, the Ministry of Environment looks at the highway cameras to see how smoky it is in the region.

Air quality stations can be set up to detect a number of toxins in the air. The ones that are used to produce the Air Quality Health Index measure the levels of nitrogen dioxide, ozone and particulate matters in the air. The first two are gases that can be harmful above a certain level, while the latter are microscopic particles floating in the air.

Particulate matter, or PM as it's abbreviated, is measured at PM10 and PM2.5 – the number refers to the size of dust molecules in micrometres.

It's these invisible particles that are considered a health hazard. "Dust that you can see, you cannot breathe in. It gets stuck in your nose," said Adams.

The PM2.5 molecules are regarded as the most dangerous because they're so small they can become embedded in the lungs. In B.C., a PM2.5 level of more than 25 micrograms per cubic metre over a 24 hour period will lead to an air quality advisory. Inhalation of high levels can lead to asthma, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and lung cancer.

This leads me to the concerns over the gravel pit. Inhalation of fine silica that concerns gravel pit opponents can lead to silicosis and lung cancer.

There is little evidence that inhaling crystalline silica is a concern for the general public, but there's also been very few studies on its impact. The best argument I've heard that it isn't a concern is that if it was, silicosis would be much more common.

Right now we don't even know what our quality is like, which is a worry. Without a monitor, air quality officials have to check the highway cameras to see smoke levels in the area.

We don't live in a smog-filled metropolis like Beijing, but I'm of the opinion that having the data is preferable than not having it, especially with smoke from forest fires becoming more prevalent.

The cost to run the equipment was about $10,000 per year and it was paid for by the Ministry of the Environment, aside from some incidental costs incurred by the city. It seems like a cheap price to pay for air quality information.

For Adams, he just hopes people are smart enough to realize that if they're having trouble breathing, they'll go inside where the air is usually cleaner. That's the messaging they want to get out, whether an advisory is issued or not.

Opponent takes up fight against new gravel pit proposal

STUART ANDREWS ADDRESSES COUNCIL TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST PROPOSAL FOR NEW GRAVEL PIT OFF WESTSIDE ROAD, DIRECTLY ACROSS THE COLUMBIA RIVER FROM THE REVELSTOKE GOLF CLUB ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The proposed new gravel pit off Westside Road is a money grab that will cause public health problems, an opponent told council last week.

Stuart Andrews addressed council last week with his concerns about the proposed new pit, which would be located off Westside Road, across the river from the golf course.

“The matter is very contentious and controversial because of the other gravel pits in

the surrounding area," he said.

The gravel pit application is being made

by Revelstoke Sand & Gravel, a company who's lone director is John McKinnon. The company has applied for a land use permit with the Ministry of Forests, Lands & Natural Resource Operations; and a development permit with the City of Revelstoke.

Andrews has emerged as the leading voice against gravel pits in the Revelstoke area.

He lead an unsuccessful opposition to the expansion of the nearby Interroute gravel pit in 2010, but has continued to fight the province over the past five years to ensure

the Ministry of Mines enforces dust control and other conditions placed on the pit through its terms of use.

The newest application has him picking up the battle again, with his main argument being the pits produce silica dust and are hazardous to human health, "Another unregulated gravel pit with no dust controls and producing silica dust will be detrimental to public health," he said.

Whether that actually is the case is the subject of debate, with few studies having been conducted on the issue and limited data available. Ralph Adams, an air quality meteorologist with the Ministry of Environment told me, "I have never been told by a health official that silicosis was an issue for outside exposure, but dust is a big concern mostly for aesthetic reasons."

Crystalline silica, the fine dust produced by crushing quartz rock, is considered a class one carcinogen and exposure can be very harmful for workers involved in any profession that involves blasting or crushing rock, such as working in a quarry. It can cause silicosis, a debilitating lung disease that can result in death.

For the public at large, the health risk is not known. A lengthy report by the the organization Gravel Watch says, "At this time, the 'adverse effects' and 'negative impacts' caused by exposure to pit and quarry operation contaminants discharged to the air appears not to have been assessed, evaluated and studied. It would be helpful to know if citizens living or working adjacent to pits and quarries or in surrounding areas have a higher instance of heart disease, asthma and other respiratory illnesses."

A report by the U.S. National Institute of Health says people living near gravel pits can be exposed to crystallin silica, but it does not say what the health risk is to nonworkers. "This lack of data means it is not currently possible to determine conclusively whether or to what extent the quantity, duration or types of silica emissions in the state may be a public health concern."

Another report by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says there is no wide-spread concern about exposure for people living away from gravel pits. For people living near sources of crystalline silica, the report says, "Data from other air pollution control agencies shows that silica ambient air concentrations could be above

a level of concern. However, the data also suggests that other non-industrial sources contribute to the ambient levels."

The DNR report says little conclusive information exists regarding sources, controls, or levels of silica present in the air.

In Revelstoke, where there is no air quality monitoring station, the level of crystalline silica in the air outside gravel pits is unknown. Andrews says the dust poses a risk to all residents of Columbia Park. "We are getting it every day, every hour during the summer months," he said.

His biggest issue was that there is no enforcement of dust controls. He produced numerous photos of dust blowing off the Interroute gravel pit, saying that the Ministry of Mines only requires self-compliance.

"It’s like putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop," he said. “They’ll get away with whatever they get away with because it makes money.”

Andrews also told council he is appealing his property assessment due to the dust and noise issues, and that if he is successful, it could lead to reductions to all property values in Columbia Park.

He asked council to hold a public meeting, and to have the city's environmental advisory committee produce a report prior to approving the development permit. "I ask everyone on council to consider this application as if they have to live close to the gravel pit and have constant noise and dust blowing over their homes and family," he said.

He said gravel pits should be located further north, closer to the dam, and not directly across from Columbia Park.

Ultimately, the city is limited in what it can do. The Ministry of Forests, Lands & Natural Resource Operations has the ultimate say in whether or not to issue the permit for use of Crown land. The best the city can do is ask for conditions to be placed on the permit, and hope Revelstoke Sand & Gravel complies and puts proper measures in place.

The city is required by law to allow gravel extraction within city limits, though exactly where is up to the city, said Dean Strachan, the manager of development. The area for the proposed quarry is zoned RR60, which allows for gravel extraction. see Gravel, page 15

Have you had your eyes checked lately? Your eyes are a great predictor of health problems. Your optometrist will check the blood vessels on your retina at the back of the eye. The condition of these blood vessels could indicate heart disease, high blood pressure or a risk of stroke. Even in young people, an eye exam could reveal a health problem in an otherwise healthy person. Eye exams are good medicine.

The names for new drugs today are getting quite weird. They have to be unique and be understood in any language. We are seeing more new

drug names with the letters “Q”, “X” and “Z” in them while “W’’ is seldom used. And the names are getting longer, many have more than four syllables and are often hard to pronounce.

Insomnia is a symptom, not a disorder in itself. It can be caused by stress, depression, anxiety, restless legs, caffeine, shift work, pain and even medications. It’s very important to sleep well. If you aren’t, see your doctor.

When a parent receives a note from the school that their child has lice,

it’s not a happy time. Depending on where you live, your child could be sent home until the problem resolves.

A parent’s best friend in these cases is a fine-tooth metal nitcomb with long tines to comb through the child’s hair regularly to remove nits. Daily or every other day is necessary and sometimes for two weeks.

For more information about lice and treatment, you can talk to our pharmacists. Head lice is a common problem and with a bit of knowledge about the problem and a lot of patience, it can be controlled.

We can help.

Schools ready to greet students with new programs, initiatives nal students' knowledge and pride of their heritage and language; increasing awareness of Aboriginal culture and heritage; increasing the academic success of Aboriginal students; and increasing their graduation rates.

McDowell said these goals will remain, but they are also looking at new ones to target. A committee has been meeting and soliciting feedback for the new agreement.

"We're going through that feedback and mulling language for goals and making sure everyone's ideas are integrated as much as possible so we have a cohesive direction for Aboriginal programming," she said.

ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com It's the best of times. It's the worst of times. It's back to school time. Revelstoke schools open this Tuesday, Sept. 8, so we touched base with a number of people across the school district to find out what was happening this year.

Here's a quick rundown of new programs and some ongoing initiatives happening at the community's five schools.

iPAD PROJECT ENTERS YEAR TWO A pilot program to introduce mobile technology into classrooms is entering its second year.

The iPad project was introduced by Michael Haworth, the district principal for technology, last year.

"We have a number of teaching staff in the district that are working with mobile technology," he said. "Each of the teachers has their own mobile device that's part of

the project. As well we have a cart of 15 iPads at each elementary school."

The iPads are pre-loaded with educational apps. They're being used in various ways to enhance the learning experience by making classes more interactive.

"We're using them so students can express and explain their understanding of what they're learning," said Haworth. "We're using them as very creative expression tools and learning tools for our students."

The way it works is that during a lesson, students can work either by themselves or in groups to demonstrate what they're learning on the iPad. This can be by illustrating a math problem, translating words to French, or creating a storybook. The work can then be displayed on TV screens in each class.

"One of the things we did focus on with the 20 iPads we put into each school is looking at it from a standpoint where we want kids to work collaboratively and collectively together," said Haworth. "It's not necessarily a one-to-one experience with the kid and the technology. It's a shared experience

with the students in the class."

The program launched last year and this year more teachers will be joining. Staff are still figuring best practices as the program is rolled out throughout the district's three elementary schools. "It's a continuing, ongoing collaborative project," said Haworth.

SECOND ABORIGINAL EDUCATION AGREEMENT IN WORKS The school district is developing a second Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement this year following the end of the fiveyear term of the first one.

"It's been really successful and I hope people in the community notice there's a higher Aboriginal profile in Revelstoke," said Ariel McDowell, the district principal of Aboriginal education. "That's what we're hoping to build on — for students to continue to feel an increasing pride in their heritage, and finding out where they're from, and increasing familiarity with language."

The first agreement was signed in March 2010 with the goals of increasing Aborigi-

Revelstoke Secondary School will play host to a group of Rwandan music students in conjunction with the Axis Mundi Harvest Festival later this month.

The Nyundo School Roadshow will be at the school on Friday, Sept. 18, to work with music students both during and after school, and over the weekend.

"Not only will there be some opportunities for our school time, but on the weekend there will be an incredible opportunity for this cultural education to go on," said Greg Kenyon, the principal of RSS. The Roadshow students come from Rwanda's first School of Music, which opened in March 2014 with 30 students.

The school was founded by musician and bandleader Jacques Murigande, a survivor of the Rwandan Genocide who moved to Ottawa following that horrific event. His music fuses traditional Rwandan melodies and lyrics with reggae and blues.

Nine students from the school will be coming to play and work with Revelstoke high school students. They will also be performing at the United Church on Friday, Sept. 18, at 10 p.m., and again on Saturday, Sept. 19, at noon.

MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID WORKSHOP COMING The school district is hosting a workshop on addressing student mental health issues this month.

Council gets mixed views on chicken bylaw ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Council heard from people for and against the new backyard chicken bylaw at a public hearing last week.

Four people took the time to speak at the hearing, held last Tuesday, Aug. 25, in council chambers. Two spoke against the bylaw, while two others spoke in support.

Gerry Schleiss said they shouldn't be allowed in residential areas. “I believe they will attract rodents, bears and coyotes," she said. “We're discouraged to put our garbage out every morning — now we’re going to put fresh food out?”

Melissa Hemphill, representing the Local Food Initiative, spoke in favour of the new regulations, saying it's a priority of the city food strategy that council endorsed earlier this year.

18 INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AT RSS

From previous page "Mental health is an important aspect to everything that happens in schools," said Greg Kenyon, the principal of RSS. "It's something that's becoming more and more public, and more and more discussed, and I'm really happy we're taking the lead on this."

The two-day course is being put on by Michele Hucul, a social worker based in Kelowna. She will be working with 24 community professionals, half of which will be school district staff.

"It's the idea of not only how to recognize mental health issues, but how to help students with those issues," said Kenyon.

The workshop is being organized by the district, the Revelstoke Teachers Association and a number of outside organizations.

The international student program at Revelstoke Secondary School is ramping up again, with 18 students coming from seven different countries this year.

"This opens up doors and opportunities for our own students, not only to experience and hear what it's like to live in Portugal or Spain or Norway, but the friendships they make last," said Andy Pfeiffer, the vice-principal of Revelstoke Secondary School.

The school takes part in the Rocky Mountain International Student Program, which places students from around the world into B.C. schools.

Revelstoke joined the program in 2010 with less than a handful of students, and has ramped up every year since. "We slowly

"The bylaw contains safety precautions, neighbourhood considerations and a permitting system that allows self-sustaining citizens to produce food lawfully," she said.

Two written submissions were received from the public. Tony Morabito asked that immediately adjacent neighbours be given a veto in case of conflict, and Elaine Greenwood opposed the bylaw , writing that “hens at times can be noisy and if not looked after and cleaned properly can create odours, thereby affecting the peace and enjoyment for neighbouring property owners.”

She said hen enclosures should consist of at least a five-foot high solid fence.

The proposed amendments to the city's animal control bylaw allow for people to keep a maximum of five hens in their backyard, provided they use a proper enclosure and take steps to reduce wildlife attractants.

Council will likely deliberate the bylaw increased it to where we are now, which we think is a good fit," said Pfeiffer. "Any more than 18 would be too much for our size of school."

This year, nine students are coming from Germany, three from Mexico, two from Switzerland, one from Spain, one from Norway, and one from China. As well, the school is hosting a Rotary exchange student from Brazil.

Pfeiffer said the students bring diversity to the school, and generally fit in very well.

"Our students are described as being very friendly and that friendliness comes through," he said. "They're integrated in every class so everything they do in a classroom is with other students, so that's probably the greatest asset. They don't travel around in a pack, which some might expect."

again at its next meeting, before voting whether or not to adopt it.

SHOPPING CENTRE BYLAW AMENDED The proposed land-use changes for a new highway shopping centre development have been amended.

The amendments allow for commercial development across the entire property, and not just on the two parcels that are slated for the shopping centre.

The changes were made at the request of the property owner, and were given first reading by council at its Aug. 25 meeting.

Because of the changes, the public hearing for the shopping centre was rescheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 29, at 3 p.m. in council chambers.

ECOLE DES GLACIERS UP TO GRADE FIVE Revelstoke's French school will have 41 students in three classes, stretching from kindergarten to grade five this year.

Ecole des Glaciers, which is located inside Arrow Heights Elementary, but run by the Francophone School Board of B.C., will have 13 kindergarten students this year, 14 students in a mixed grade 1/2 class, and 14 in a grade 3/4/5 class.

Chantale Desmarais, the school's principal, said they are introducing two new programs this year. One is called Tiens-moi la main, j'embarque, which translates to Hold my hand, I'm getting on. The program is to help four-year-olds prepare to enter kindergarten the next year. The school is also launching Les racines de l'empathie (Roots of Empathy) for kindergarten students.

No summer break for Revelstoke council COUNCIL CORNER

Scott Duke A busy summer continues around the council table for the City of Revelstoke.

During the summer months, most municipalities ratchet their council meetings back by half, put their legs up, and enjoy the calm of a reduced work load. Not our new team.

It is business as usual and we are pushing through as much work as possible thanks to our dedicated staff and management. Below are some highlights of the last month, and items that are coming up in the near future. I have been requested with this article to lean more heavily on planning and development as that is my portfolio.

Nichol Road Development: This development has had first hearing and an open house. During the open house attendents submitted comments and suggestions. As a result of these comments staff and council requested extra engineering and impact reports. Council is waiting on the last of these reports before the development proposal comes back to our table and it is scheduled for a formal public hearing.

Golf Course: The city and the golf club are working with Citrus Capital Partners to negotiate a lease agreement that will be mutually beneficial. All parties are excited about the prospect of rejuvenating the golf course and we hope to have an official agreement in the near future.

Big Eddy Waterworks: If you have not heard, Revelstoke received $3.6 million from the provincial and federal governments through the Building Canada Fund to address the current fire flow and water security concerns in the Big Eddy.

It is business as usual and we are pushing through as much work as possible thanks to our dedicated staff.

This is a huge win for the town and the residents of the Big Eddy. Thanks to the staff for all their hard work on putting the proposal together. Not every community was as fortunate, as the Building Canada Funds are limited. Next steps on this project will be announced soon.

Ongoing Construction: The new Mt. Begbie Brewery is currently under construction and they are hoping to be operating out of the new facility soon. Petro Canada has broken ground and the development can be watched over the next few months. We owe a thank you to the developers for their large contribution to the fund that will help fix the ongoing traffic congestion at the Mutas Road intersection. In addition, this summer we are seeing more building permits issued for new home builds and renovations, compared to the last five years. Thank you to the development team, who are working extra hard to handle the increased work load. And thank you to the community for building and investing in your town.

Tree House Hotel: There is a proposed boutique tree house hotel looking to develop at the base of the ski hill. There has been a request to annex the proposed site into the city boundary, so the development can be serviced. The city is currently conducting an alternative approval process to gain the approval of the electors as required by the province. (ed.: An alternative approval process means 10 per cent of electors must formally oppose the application in order to force a referendum.)

Complete information on this development is available upstairs at city hall in administration. Council encourages the residents of Revelstoke to watch for public notices with respect to developments.

If you have something to comment on this or any development, council looks forward to receiving it.

Schools: There is currently no new

movement on the old school properties that I am aware of. If you know of investors or would like to develop these prime lands, contact Alan Mason our head of economic development.

Revelstoke Mountain Resort: Council is working diligently to strengthen the relationship with RMR and Northland Properties. Northland is currently working on some large and exciting projects for next summer and this winter. Council and staff are working on creative ideas to make these and future development of the lands a reality.

Outside of direct development, council has been having budget meetings with every department one-on-one. The financial focus group has also been attending these meetings and the public is always welcome. The purpose is to drill down and figure out if there are any savings for the taxpayers in this upcoming budget cycle.

We are also still dedicated to getting our 2016 budget out in record time, so all departments have clear targets and limits starting January 1. Over September, October, November and December the new budget is going to be our highest priority.

If you have any questions or concerns, all of the new council is more than happy to listen and can be emailed at council@ revelstoke.ca. All our council meetings are open and everyone is always invited.

We had a great public hearing turnout this past week for the zoning amendment bylaw to include hen keeping as a permitted use in single family residential zones.

Lastly, I would like to welcome our new Chief Administrative Officer, Allan Chabot, who we are more than excited to have join the team. He's a great new addition to help staff and council move Revelstoke forward and achieve the new objectives we have set out.

Miranda Murphy wins TrailStoke ultramarathon ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Revelstoke's Miranda Murphy had modest goals for her first ever ultra-marathon race — make the cutoffs. She accomplished that and then some, winning Saturday's TrailStoke race at Revelstoke Mountain Resort in a time of 7:25:31.

"I had no concept of what I could do," she said following her run. "I didn't know I won until I was there. I crossed the finish line and someone told me. It was totally unexpected."

The men's race was won by Adam Campbell in 5:47:23, 23 minutes ahead of runner up Dean Perez of Surrey. Angus Jennings finished third in a time of 6:19:07.

"This was a really hard race," said Campbell after finishing.

Kristina Aluzaite from Burnaby, B.C., was the runner up in the women's race, finishing eight minutes behind Murphy. Adrienne Dunbar from Edmonton finished third.

The winning team was Hell Ya! Let's Do This! from Calgary, who reached the finish line in a time of 6:25:51. The last runner to cross the finish line was Lake Louise's Anna Smith, who reached the base of the resort after more than 11 hours on the

mountain.

Runners were hit with a mixed bag of weather that got worse throughout the day. The forecast rain held off in the morning, and when the runners reached the alpine, the clouds parted and the sun came out for them. They were treated to the signature views of Mount Cartier, Ghost Peak, and the Selkirk Mountains; and Mount Begbie and the Gold Range across the Columbia River valley.

"It was beautiful. I had a wonderful window of weather at the top," said Paul Every, an Australian who took time for the race during a trip to Canada. "Magnificent views and sunshine."

He stopped to take pictures during his run.

As the day wore on, the storm system that knocked out power in the Lower Mainland hit the ridges, resulting in wind gusts that snapped trees, clouds that limited visibility to several metres, and rains that fell hard and sideways. The last runners on the mountain seemed to be taking it in stride, suffering through the final climbs from the top of the cat-ski terrain to the Stoke Chair, before hitting the mountain road for the long descent back to the base.

"Some of the course was brutal and some

was really pretty, so it had everything you could want," said Every.

The course was modified slightly from last year, with a longer ridge-run towards Ghost Peak, and the finish line at the base of the resort instead of at the midmountain lodge. It began outside the Sutton Place hotel and ascended to the top of the gondola, where the course then veered south through the resort and into the catski terrain.

After climbing more than 1,500 metres, the runners had to face the gruelling climb up Kokanee Ridge, followed by a descent through the bowl and up another ridge before heading towards the Ghost.

"Climbing up to Kokanee Ridge is the kicker," said Murphy. "You keep going up, then you go down a little bit, then you keep going up."

After reversing course back to the bottom of the cat ski terrain, the runners then had to climb to the top of the Stoke Chair before beginning the long descent back to the base and the finish line The course totalled about 51 kilometres, with 3,400 metres of elevation gain.

For some runners the difficulty of the climbs took them by surprise and a few admitted to being unprepared for the chal-

lenging alpine section, which they had to tackle as adverse weather blew in from the west.

Even for the top runners, it was a struggle.

"I knew the course, I knew what was coming up, which was great. I didn't have to think about that," said Murphy. "I don't think the whole gravity of the situation really hit me until I was still climbing."

Campbell, one of the top ultrarunners in the world (he made the headlines last year when he nearly got hit by lightning in a 160-kilometre race in the United States and still finished third) said it was a challenging course, noting that he's finished similar distances in under four hours on other courses.

"It was beautiful," he said. "We had some mountain weather. It was atmospheric up there but that's part of what you get to experience."

Attendance was down from last year, with 63 individuals and 26 teams finishing the race. Organizer Amy Golumbia said more than 220 people registered, however many people dropped out due to the smoky skies in the region in the days leading up to the race. Fortunately, the smoke cleared for race day.

ARTS

Local faces featured in upcoming Townsfolk exhibit MELISSA JAMESON

Special to the Revelstoke Review Don't be surprised if you recognize a few of the faces on display at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre this Saturday.

Local artist Cherie Van Overbeke's exhibit of work, titled Townsfolk, features portraits of 17 people who currently live in Revelstoke.

“I thought it would be fun to showcase some of the community's individuals: long time Revelstokians, newcomers, young and old,” said Van Overbeke, who is hopeful that painting members of the community will inspire more local arts.

Van Overbeke, who received a grant through Columbia Basin Trust to complete the work for this exhibition, said she randomly chose the 17 individuals featured in her works, picking people she thought were interesting or who would be fun to paint.

“I just went up to them and said 'Can I paint you?',” she said.

While many people said no, Van Overbeke said she understands that some individuals are shy or private, or simply may have not been willing to participate.

“It was just fun to do and made me meet new people as well," she said.

For each portrait painted, Van Overbeke also gathered a small history of that individual. Wanting to keep it simple, she asked each person if they were born and raised in Revelstoke, did they

move here, why did they move here, what their occupation is, and what are some things they love about Revelstoke.

“I just kept it simple because I know a lot of people don't want to be asked a huge survey of questions,” she said. “I gave them a choice too, they didn't have to [answer the questions].”

Van Overbeke also chose not to include individuals who are already well known within the community. Some of the people included in the exhibit are Ray Cooper from Ray's Butcher Shop, Nicole Cherlet who owns Big Mountain Kitchen, and Krista Kallio, who is instrumental in organizing the yearly Emergency Services Food Drive.

“I wanted to include people that are involved in the community, but maybe aren't as well known," Van Overbeke said. "Just every day people.”

While painting people was a bit of a departure for Van Overbeke, the portraits are done in a folk art style that include the bright and bold colour she is known for.

“I wanted to keep it within my abilities. I think they turned out really fun and quirky, and that's all their meant to be is fun, they're not meant to look like photographs.”

Townsfolk will be on display at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre from September 4 to 25, along with Flourish and Flow: A Joint Exhibition by Revelstoke Awareness and Outreach Program and Forsythe House. The exhibit opens Friday, Sept. 4 at 6 p.m.

Fires, forests high on local government agenda TOM FLETCHER Black Press

As mayors and councillors from across the province prepare to gather in Vancouver for their annual September convention and meetings with the B.C. cabinet, the state of B.C. forests and the threat of fires is top of mind.

A resolution up for debate from Premier Christy Clark's constituency of West Kelowna calls on the province to take the lead on forest fuel management, directly funding and managing it for private as well as public land. It notes that despite high costs and widespread damage from the 2014 forest fire season, the province's Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative excluded operational activities and was restricted to financing community protection plans.

The program spent $62 million between 2004 and 2014 to assist local governments reduce interface fire risk. Applications for fuel projects were halted last year when the budget was spent, and this past May the forests ministry put another $5 million in, for projects on municipal or provincial land only.

The province maintains that fuel projects

on private land are best left to local governments to coordinate with their public land programs.

In the wake of beetle losses and reduced timber harvest limits, Williams Lake, Quesnel, 100 Mile House and Wells are calling for the province to improve certainty on the working forest land base. Their resolution calls for the province to "deliver the full allowable cut allowed under the BC Timber Sales program" and "complete a sciencebased inventory of available timber supply."

Forests Minister Steve Thomson said in an interview the province's $80 million increase in inventory funding over 10 years has been focused on areas hardest hit by pine beetle infestation.

"I'm confident that we have significantly improved information that is going into the timber supply reviews and timber supply analysis," Thomson said.

Log exports is a perennial issue of concern to coastal communities. The latest resolution from the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District notes that log exports increased 65 per cent between 2010 and 2013, with 90 per cent of exports from the B.C. coast.

Their resolution calls for a review of log export policy, which requires logs for export

Hundreds of mayors, councillors and re-

gional district directors will converge on downtown Vancouver for the UBCM convention Sept. 21-25.

Campfire ban lifted in Revelstoke area TIMES REVIEW STAFF Campfires are allowed again in the Revelstoke area after the Southeast Fire Centre lifted the ban Monday afternoon.

The move came about due to the onset of cooler temperatures and wet weather this week.

The City of Revelstoke has yet to lift

their own campfire ban, however it usually follows the lead of the fire centre.

Check our website for an update on the city campfire ban.

With the lifting of the ban, fires up to a half-metre high and half-metre wide are allowed, as are fires in an outdoor stove.

Anyone lighting a fire must be able to

extinguish it and must not leave it unattended.

Fires more than a half-metre wide are still banned, as are fireworks, sky lanterns, burning barrels, grass burning, and the use of binary exploding targets.

The Southeast Fire Centre covers the area extending from the U.S. border in the south to Mica Dam in the north

and from the Okanagan Highlands and Monashee Mountains in the west to the B.C.-Alberta border in the east. It includes the Selkirk Forest District and the Rocky Mountain Forest District.

Girls shine at Shore N' Score

Revelstoke's U11 girls team did us proud at the Salmon Arm Shore ‘N’ Score tournament last weekend, capturing the bronze medal for their division after some very intense games. They have been practicing hard all summer as a team and the results were very apparent. This team continues to make their parents and coaches proud with their unbelievable drive, determination, team spirit and undeniable sportsmanship. They all played amazing and deserve recognition: Fia Cameron, Sydney Musseau, Mia Kramer and Rhenna Secord all received MVP’s during the tournament (which were picked by opposing teams). Way to go girls you made us all proud.

LETTER

Modified response needed for fires

Editor, The current wildfire situation in British Columbia, and indeed that of many recent active years, should result in sober reflections as to the efficiency of wildfire control. Practical and responsible action is based on two criteria — early detection and fast initial attack, both of which are presently questionable.

In respect to detection, aerial patrols are used almost exclusively and while they have the capability of covering large areas, they have the vulnerability of missing small smoldering fires which are not evident.

It would therefore appear logical to activate existing lookouts in high or extreme hazard supplemented by ground patrols, and that this latter agency have the discretion of fast initial attack on accessible incidents.

Regarding initial attack, one should reflect on the following enumerated points: 1. Why are industry and contact crews considered ineligible to conduct initial attack when the essence of control action is rapid response?

2. In the case of a woodlot licensee or operator in occupation, it is required that action be taken on a wildfire within one kilometer of the designated boundary. Why not two kilometers or more if the fire is accessible and posses an immediate threat whereby a substantial loss might be prevented?

3. To improve initial attack it would seem logical that resident rural crews of three or more persons be organized at the start of each fire season. This would be comparable to the very practical fire warden crews operating in the earlier years. The present dispatch of crews by the fire centres is too cumbersome and detracts from initial attack time. Additionally, priorities can change on very short notice so flexibility and initiative are critical.

4. It appears evident that the wildfire branch offers the issue of liability as a reason to exclude contract crews from independent initial attack. One must however speculate on the increased liability associated with a major incident relative to that encountered on a small fire.

Woodlot licensees and other forest operators with their exposure to wildfire situations must be on the front line to offer critical observation to improve control actions. This is particularly important to those holding area based forest tenures as opposed to volume-based systems. To sit by and submit to bureaucratic ideology is irresponsible and, unless some procedures are modified, losses to our licensees and the forest resource with related values will continue.

Grizzlies blow out Kamloops in exhibition action

ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The Revelstoke Grizzlies started their season with a roar, thumping the Kamloops Storm 9-3 in their first exhibition game of the 2015-16 season on Sunday, but coach Ryan Parent isn't reading too much into the result.

"Nobody won the Stanley Cup in the exhibition season," he said following the game. "I wanted to see players aren't afraid to make plays, but still play within our structure. I wanted to know guys could think and play with some jam."

Sunday's match was the team's first after Saturday's scheduled game against North Okanagan was canceled with

both teams saying they didn't have enough players to ice teams due to players attending Junior A camps.

It was the first real action for the Grizzlies after a week of practices and scrimmages. Parent said most players came to training camp ready.

"Today we skated very well. We had the wind tonight to play a full 60," he said, adding, "It's going to get tougher."

Revelstoke took to the ice against Kamloops in a matinee game, with a lineup featuring a mix of rookies and veterans from last year's squad that narrowly missed the playoffs.

In the lineup from last year's team were defencemen Kyle Baron, Zack Fulton and Levi Morin; and forwards Louie Federico and Ryan Hozjan.

The newcomers were led by Wyatt Gottschalk, who scored three goals and picked up an assist, while also laying some hits and killing penalties. He was one of the few players singled out for praise by Parent after the game.

Also producing for Revelstoke were Max Mona, who scored twice, and Ryan Pereverzoff and Jordan Rae, who both picked up a goal and two assists.

Revelstoke also got goals from Kyle Keeder and Kaden Black, the grandson of former Grizzlies manager Larry Black, who passed away earlier this year.

Revelstoke's Keyon Bittner split duties in net with Logan Sanka.

Ullar Wiatza, who played 10 games as an affiliate with the Grizzlies last year, is the other local rookie aiming for a spot on this year's roster. "We want to give him every opportunity to be here," said Parent.

Other returnees from last year's team at training camp include Brady Mende, Josh Pilon and Ethan Waitzner; they were scheduled to play on Monday against the North Okanagan Knights in Vernon, said Parent.

There were 24 players in training camp on Sunday, with others still trying out for Junior A teams. "Obviously I can't keep all of them. We've got some tough decisions to make," said Parent.

For the rookies trying to make the team, Parent said he wanted to see players that competed and weren't afraid. "I want to see they can comprehend and play the game," he added.

The Revelstoke Grizzlies play three more exhibition games this week. On Wednesday they play the Storm in Kamloops. This weekend, they face the Golden Rockets twice — on Friday in Golden and on Saturday at home at the Forum. The Grizzlies open the regular season on Sept. 11 in Sicamous.

Gravel, from page 3 "There is the ability to look at land-use bylaws and where gravel extraction takes place," he said. "There are provisions within the Official Community Plan to identity areas for gravel extraction. If that is carried forward into the zoning bylaw it would geographically restrict gravel extraction to a specific area in the community.

"We need to have some area of gravel extraction in the community. Where that's located is up for discussion."

John McKinnon of Revelstoke Sand & Gravel told the Review the pit was needed to supplement their Jordan River pit, which he said is unaccessible in the winter and early spring.

"We're running out of gravel so we can't supply our customers with new materials in the spring time," he said.

He said they looked at other spots, "but everywhere there's a stream so you can't go near it."

As far as dust control goes, McKinnon said they would follow Interroute's standards, and conduct dust control on the road – an answer that likely won't appease critics. He said the quarry would be kept small and would only be used when they couldn't access their Jordan River pit.
