Craft distillery proposed for Revelstoke ALEX COOPER

Walk Off the Earth and Ashley MacIsaac, and lesser known groups like Baskery, Buckman Coe, Sticky Fingers and the Nyundo School Roadshow from Rwanda. It also included several guest speakers and outdoor markets.

Shows were held at various venues around town throughout the day while the main event was in the evening at Revelstoke Mountain Resort.

However, the festival was greeted by a deluge of rain, which nearly washed out Saturday’s outdoor market and turned the venue at RMR into a giant mud pit.

While the mud added to the vibe – people dubbed the festival Axis Muddy – the rain deterred the last-minute walk-up crowd. In an interview with the Review after the festival, Rampen estimated the rain cost them 1,000 ticket sales.

A Shuswap man is looking to turn the Mount Begbie Brewery into a distillery once the beer maker moves into its new location in Johnson Heights.

Gareth Jones, the owner of Jones Distilling, is proposing to produce “ultra-premium” vodka, gin and whiskey inside the facility at First Street West and Garden Avenue.

“Jones Distilling has a strategy based on the relentless pursuit of outstanding products & service using ecologically sound methods to ensure the very best products for our customers,” states the business concept provided to the City of Revelstoke.

Jones Distilling has filed a zoning bylaw text amendment application with the City of Revelstoke to turn the brewery into a distillery once Mount Begbie moves into its new digs. The amendment would allow for craft distillery use in the building.

The application says the distillery would source “the very best ingredients” and The distillery would include a tasting room and would provide a venue for “gin evenings and distillery tours.” Eventually, a bar would be developed on site and longterm plans include opening a restaurant.

“This is a unique opportunity to create and build a sustainable brand and the first ever distillery located in the vibrant & growing town of Revelstoke,” states the application. “Jones Distilling will take raw ingredients and turn them into a sophisticated high prestige product. This business is starting in an industry which is still embryonic and has strong potential to continue the growth which has been seen in the last decade.”

A report by Dean Strachan, the city’s manager of development services, recommends council support the bylaw amendment, saying the distillery would add to the diversity and vibrancy of downtown Revelstoke.

Axis Mundi festival cancelled ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The Axis Mundi Festival has been canceled after one event due to financial losses, the organizers announced on Facebook on Monday.

“Axis Mundi won’t be continuing for 2016,” they wrote. “Our September event was victim to some pretty foul weather, which had a significant impact on the bottom line. We have been seeking additional funding to move forward, but it has become apparent we won’t be able to meet our needs.”

Axis Mundi was hoped to be a major shoulder season draw to Revelstoke. The Revelstoke Arts Council contracted with Hugo Rampen, the former organizer of Salmon Arm Roots & Blues, to put on a summer solstice festival and a fall harvest event.

The inaugural festival in September featured major headliners

ED & MOIRA JAATEENMAKI HAVE A LONG HISTORY IN SKIING IN REVELSTOKE, HELPING WITH NORDIC, ALPINE AND SKI JUMPING EVENTS AS OFFICIALS BOTH LOCALLY AND ALL THE WAY UP TO THE OLYMPICS.

Ed & Moira Jaateenmaki: The officials MELISSA JAMESON Special to the Review

When Ed Jaatteenmaki moved from Albert Canyon to Revelstoke at the age of 13, it was on board a freight train.

Ed's dad had successfully bid on the job for section foreman with CP Rail in Revelstoke. At that time CP Rail provided employees moving to a new location with a box car to move all of their belongings.

“The reason I was on the freight train is the passenger train came through Albert Canyon during the middle of the morning and somehow we missed that,” said Ed. “We didn't get on the passenger train so my dad said, 'well we'll have to go to Revelstoke on a freight train.' The house was empty, there was no furniture left. So we arranged to go on this freight train.”

Their timing was a bit off however, and the freight train began to move ahead sooner than they had anticipated.

“My dad ran ahead and got on the caboose. Mom and I couldn't go as fast as he could, we were still trying to get there and the train was already going. I think my dad – well in the caboose you can pull the air to put the train into emergency – so he grabbed the line to put the train in emergency, so it stopped and we got on.”

It wasn't until many years later that Ed would meet Moira onboard the boat the Empress of Canada in 1962. Moira had come from Scotland and was on her way to attend university in Saskatoon. The couple would eventually make their way back to Revelstoke in 1970, where they raised their son and became heavily involved in skiing. At that time there was only one ski club which combined alpine, cross-country, and ski jumping.

Ed and Moira became involved with the ski club as soon as they moved to Revelstoke.

“My first ski club meeting I went to, our son was six weeks old. I left him with dad [Ed] and went to the meeting,” said Moira.

Moira said the first event she volunteered for was an alpine race at Mount Mackenzie and she was race secretary.

“I can remember doing it on a little portable type writer. The results were produced by gestetner [a type of copy machine].”

Over the years, Ed and Moira would volunteer and officiate for numerous alpine, cross-country and ski jumping events.

“Ed went to the Olympics, because I figured it was his turn,” joked Moira, who officiated for many World Cup events.

The couple also officiated at the last ski jump event held at Mount Revelstoke. “It was a junior jump,” said Ed. “The jump was all packed by foot.

They had a roller they could work up and down the hill, but the final preparation all had to be done by hand, foot pack. And if you live in Revelstoke and you run races, you know that Friday you get a dump of snow for a race on Saturday. I don't know how many times that happened out on the ski hill there,” said Moira.

During its heyday, foreign competitors from all over the world came to ski jump in Revelstoke.

“You were really, really close to them [jumpers],” said Moira. “I remember the first time I went to watch, we were climbing up the hill and all of the sudden this [jumper] goes by me. I couldn't believe it. They go like a race car.”

At that time there were no ski lifts, jumpers had to climb back up the hill carrying their skiis.

“Those were the days,” said Moira.

Major Mackenzie Village development proposal back to council ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The major Mackenzie Village development proposal for Arrow Heights would be a financial bonanza for the City of Revelstoke, according to reports prepared by the developer.

The development is going back to council for review after the proponents produced a series of studies that were requested of them.

David & Shelley Evans are proposing a major development with up to 1,178 units on 35 acres of land off Nichol Road in Arrow Heights.

The proposal was made public last February and was the subject of an open house in April that was attended by 154 people. After, the city asked the Evanses to produce seven reports on the project, including a traffic study, infrastructure study, environmental study, parks & trails plan, financial impact analysis, a waste disposal study, and an affordable housing strategy.

The reports were finally completed and will go in front of council for discussion on Tuesday, Jan. 26. They provide a basic overview on the impact the development would have on city infrastructure and finances.

According to the reports, which were produced by the developer, the development would provide a net financial gain to the city, particularly compared to if the property was developed as a low-density, single-family residential.

The proposed zoning would generate $7.9 million in development cost charges for the city, $1.5 million in property taxes and would create an annual net revenue of $1,170 per household compared. That's compared to $1.1 million, $238,000 and a loss of $170 per household if the property were sub-divided into single-family lots. The numbers were calculated using Community Infrastructure Planning Decision Support Tool developed by the province. The tool allows someone to input the cost of developing and providing services and infrastructure and compares it to the potential revenue that will be generated by the development.

The Review contacted Graham Inglis, the city's director of finance, to see if the numbers looked reasonable, however he said he had yet to look at the report.

Dean Strachan, the city's development manager, said that high-density, multi-family developments usually provide a net benefit to municipalities when it comes to taxation.

"Planners have known for a long time that single family development is a loss for the city as far as the tax collected," he said.

The traffic study, conducted by engineer Greg Saunders of Revelstoke Design Services, looks at the impact on the development on the major roads, including Fourth Street, Airport Way and Nichol Rod. It says the roads can handle the extra traffic that would be generated by the development, but that the Illecillewaet Bridge may require an upgrade or replacement if there's other development in the area.

The infrastructure study, by McElhanney Consulting Services, looks at roads, sewer and water. On top of indicating

A conceptual drawing of the Mackenzie Village development, looking south towards Nichol Road. ~ Image by Fraser Blyth, Selkirk Planning & Design how the development will be serviced, it also looks at the impact it will have on city infrastructure.

Notably, it says the Greeley water treatment plant and Arrow Heights reservoir would have to be expanded before the development reaches full build. Sewage could be handled by existing city pipes, though the report makes no mention of the capacity of the sewage treatment plant.

Mike Thomas, the city's director of engineering, was not available Friday afternoon to respond to questions about the report.

Strachan said the reports were adequate for this phase, but more detailed engineering would be required for a development agreement to be reached between the Evans and the city.

"The issues that need more work before this project gets towards approval are in the traffic and the infrastructure," he said. "At this point, this is just a question of whether there's enough information for council to consider a bylaw.

We're at the beginning phase and as it progresses there's going to be more information that's going to be required."

Strachan said it will now be up to council to decide how to move forward. His recommendation for Tuesday is for council to receive the report and to refer it to the Advisory

Planning Commission.

"Council has to think if they need to do more public consultation in advance of a public hearing," he said. "Whether they want us to do an open house or some other type of consultation, or just proceed with the bylaw."

David Evans told the Review he was happy to see the development go back to council. He hoped that re-zoning could be completed by the end of March.

"I think the information we provided substantiates the plan," he said. "The financial benefits to the city are there.

It makes sense. The footprint leaves more open space and park land."

Evans stressed the development would be for less than 1,200 units – not the 1,500 initially reported in the media – and that number could change depending on market demand. He said if people were buying smaller units, they would build more of those. If they desired larger units, they would re-focus the development that way.

"There's a whole flex part to it depending on where the demand comes from," he said.

If approved, the development would start with the construction of 30 townhouses along Nichol Road and would continue through 12 phases over 10 years.

Trial underway for man accused of drowning wife near Revelstoke ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com A former New Zealand politician charged with first-degree murder in the 2010 drowning death of his wife

Peter Beckett’s trial began in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops last Tuesday, Jan. 19, with a lengthy opening statement from Crown

prosecutor Sarah Firestone.

“The case you’re about to hear is not a ‘whodunit,'” she told the 14 jurors.

“The case you’re about to hear is, rather, a ‘what happened.'”

Beckett, 59, was charged a year after his wife, Laura Letts-Beckett, drowned on Upper Arrow Lake near Revelstoke.

Firestone outlined the case against Beckett, which includes wiretaps, an exhaustive financial investigation and a jailhouse snitch.

“The accused killed Laura Letts deliberately for financial gain,” she said, noting he hoped to benefit from her family inheritance and insurance payouts.

“He would also collect her schoolteacher’s pension for the rest of his days, which he would spend in the house she owned when they married.”

Firestone said Beckett took out a number of lifeinsurance policies and accidental-death benefits on his wife between 2007 and 2010, the final one

going into effect the month before Letts-Beckett died.

Firestone said Beckett claimed to have no knowledge of the final insurance policy. But, she said, police found his fingerprints on the document.

Jurors were told Beckett was not immediately a suspect. He described the incident at times as an accident or suicide, Firestone said.

“One by one, certain police officers and civilians began to realize that the version of events painted

by Mr. Beckett about the events of Aug. 18, 2010, were not accurate,” she said.

Beckett was arrested in August 2011.

The Crown expects to call 50 witnesses in the trial, which is slated to last three months.

Beckett was formerly a city councillor in Napier, New Zealand.

“The proposed business would also generate a made in Revelstoke product adding to the promotion of Revelstoke outside of the community,” writes Strachan.

The distillery would produce a maximum of 50,000 litres of alcohol per year, if permitted.

The Review spoke to Jones, but he declined an interview until things are further along in the process.

Council is scheduled to discuss the application on Tuesday, Jan. 26.

According to the Salmon Arm Observer, Jones is an immigrant from the United Kingdom who calls Salmon Arm home. He just received approval to start a distillery in his hometown and is advertising his first bottles of vodka for sale, though he has yet to build the facility.

He told the Observer his father tinkered with the idea of brewing and Jones always considered running a distillery. After stints in the British army and in the food service industry, he im-

migrated to Canada with his wife and two young children and settled in the Shuswap. He decided to make his dream a reality and enrolled in a master distilling course in Kelowna.

“It’s all about making the best bloody product out there,” he said. “And it’s been amazing the response from people when they hear about it.

Everyone’s been very positive. It’s been fantastic, absolutely brilliant.

“As with wines and beers, people are looking for something more than a cookie cutter product.

That’s where craft wineries and breweries have gained huge traction. I’m looking to spread that into the spirit market.”

Jones plans to offer pre-sales on his products, which will also satisfy his desire to replicate a tradition in many British distilleries. This is where a relative or friend will purchase a barrel of whiskey to celebrate the birth of a baby and will let the spirit age in the barrel until the child is of legal age, at which point they will drink some on their birthday and on special occasions thereafter.

“I plan to do a barrel for each of my children and hope to be sharing the drink with them when they turn 21,” he said.

Development Matters

The vacation rental story, part two HOW DO YOU REGULATE AND ENFORCE VACATION RENTALS? IN PART TWO OF OUR SERIES ON VACATION RENTALS, WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT OTHER COMMUNITIES ARE DOING TO TACKLE THE ISSUE. ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Last November, I found myself in San Francisco on the eve of their municipal elections. One of the things residents were voting on was a ballot measure that sought to put a limit on short-term rentals. The city had legalized short-term rentals the previous February, with restrictions, but the measure sought to put further limits on them.

It was dubbed the AirBnB Initiative and would have limited short-term rentals to 75 days per year, with the goal of squashing a rapidly growing sector that many felt was driving up housing prices in one of the most expensive cities in the world.

AirBnB, which is based in San Franciso, fought hard against the initiative, spending almost $8 million to oppose it. They were successful and the initiative was defeated.

Addressing short-term rentals is an issue governments across the world are dealing with. AirBnB wasn't the first site to allow people to advertise short-term rentals, but it is now the biggest. It has allowed people to advertise or seek out rentals far more easily than before and forced communities to play catch up. A quick Google search reveals dozens of articles about different communities that are dealing with the issue. They range from small tourism communities to major metropolises like San Francisco and New York City.

The City of Revelstoke didn't really start exploring vacation rentals until 2012. An article in the Review reported there was 13 illegal vacation rentals in February of that year. In April 2013, former city planner John Guenther unveiled a proposal that would have allowed vacation rentals in parts of downtown, all along Fourth Street East through Southside, and parts of Arrow Heights. The plan went nowhere and when council finally adopted a vacation rental bylaw in July 2014, they decided to allow them anywhere in the city. Each application would come forward individually, a public hearing would be held and council would vote.

"The reason I set this up this way and asked council to adopt it in this format is at any point council can stop," Dean Strachan, the city's manager of development services, told me. "They're under no legal obligation to continue it."

Last January, council adopted a policy to go after illegal rentals on a complaints-only basis. That approach was adopted because it was deemed too expensive to actively pursue illegal rentals. Strachan said that once active enforcement starts, some people will comply right away, but it's the ones that don't that become a headache for the city. "The avenues of choice are not very wide for local government," he said. "You can end up in court, and that's very expensive."

THE ISLANDS TRUST STORY Revelstoke's approach is one of several taken by communities in B.C. One of the first jurisdictions in British Columbia to tackle vacation rentals head on was the Islands Trust, the governing body for the many island communities in the Salish Sea. The Trust took up the issue when complaints started to come in about illegal vacation rentals on the various islands.

"In the gulf islands, people would rent out their houses or cabins by word of mouth, to friends of friends or relatives," said Miles Drew, the bylaw

enforcement manager for the Trust.

That wasn't a concern, but as more and more people began to advertise their homes online, illegal rentals became a problem, said Drew.

"On most islands there was a high-level of concern about it changing the character of the neighbourhoods," he said. "I pretty quickly became aware that we couldn't deal with the issue one-by one."

There were also housing issues and instances where families were forced to leave their rentals in the summer so that the homes could be rented out at a much higher rate, he said.

The Trust took different tacts for different islands, depending on the desire of the residents. On Hornby Island, vacation rentals were embraced by the community and were made lawful, with conditions similar to the ones in place in Revelstoke.

Other islands permitted them on a case-by-case basis by allowing temporary use permits.

"Other islands just insisted they didn't want them, and we proactively enforced and we had a couple of court cases that said they were unlawful," said Drew. "We reduced the number of (shortterm vacation rentals) to a hardcore number of people who refused to admit they were unlawful."

They found that unless there was pro-active enforcement, there was no uptake on legalizing vacation rentals. "You really have to establish that the risks about not doing it are dire," he said. "You basically have to take some legal action against some people."

Enforcement wasn't easy. First, they would have to find out exactly where the rental was located, then they would have to take out a bylaw enforcement notice against the property owner. If the threat of a fine wasn't enough to get the home owner to comply, they would seek out an injunction in court against the property owner.

In one case, on Salt Spring Island, the Island Trust unsuccessfully sought to get an injunction against the property management company Westcoast Vacations, arguing it was in violation of bylaws by operating illegal rentals.

Drew said 20 per cent of the Trust's bylaw enforcement files are related to vacation rentals.

"There's lots of staff time and planning taken up because each of our gulf islands has been in debate about it," he said.

In Drew's opinion, the best tactic to dealing with vacation rentals is to allow them only in certain neighbourhoods, "and adopt hard-nosed, proactive enforcement in areas that can't, otherwise they'll just proliferate."

ELSEWHERE IN B.C. & THE USA In Whistler, they first started exploring vacation rentals in the late-90s, said Mayor Nancy Wilhelm-Morden, who was a councillor at the time.

They looked at re-zoning properties throughout the community to allow short-term rentals.

"The neighbourhoods rose up and said they didn't want this commercial activity in our neighbourhoods, so we put a moratorium on any further re-zoning applications, and took the opposite approach and started enforcement proceedings," she said. "There was active bylaw enforcement for several years."

Eventually, the resort switched to a complaintsbased policy. In 2014, they received 66 complaints, see Vacation rentals, page 7

Mother pleads for help finding son's body

Editor, I am the mother of Joshua Jeffs who went missing in Revelstokemore than two years ago, on December 19, 2013. I am pleading that someone, any organizations who are willing to help, conduct a search this upcoming spring.

I live in The Pas, Manitoba. I don’t have the resources to organize a search from two provinces away. If you are a parent you will understand my family’s need to locate my son's remains. I do understand some people look down on my son because he decided to run into the bushes when the police were in pursuit of him.

He is still my child and I never loved him less for the wrong choices he has made, just as I’m sure you wouldn’t if your child made those choices as well.

After Josh went missing, I told the RCMP that if he didn’t contact me by Christmas, as we were very close, I would know he never made it out of the bush.

As time passed he was declared a missing person. I was informed that Revelstoke Search & Rescue (SAR) would conduct a search in the spring of 2014.

Joshua Jeffs hasn't been seen since he fled from police near 12 Mile in December 2013. ~ Photo contributed I then hitchhiked from northern Manitoba in May 2014. I stayed in Revelstoke for two weeks waiting for a search, but sadly SAR was not ready. I hitchhiked back home and returned to work and waited to be contacted by SAR. When they reached out to me for a search in June, I once again, hitchhiked to Revelstoke so I could be present.

Nothing was found, so I returned home. A few days later, I read the report on the search in the local Revelstoke paper, which said they would not be having anymore searches for my son. I don’t know why I was not told that when I was in British Columbia.

There was only the one search for my son after the snow had cleared up. Previous paper clippings said they would continue to do more searches after the foot search, which did not happen. This news was very upsetting, as any parent would understand.

I am pleading for any sort of help towards finding my son this upcoming spring. This experience has been extremely hard on me and my family.

Please, for the peace of mind for myself and the rest of my children, help us bring my son home.

You can contact me directly on my cellphone at 1-204-620-2412.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.

Different communities, different approaches to vacation rentals Vacation rentals, from page 5 said Wihelm-Morden. Forty-five people complied with regulations and the files were closed; the other 21 are still being pursued. No one has been taken to court, yet.

The resort adopted regulations that vacation rentals aren't allowed in existing neighbourhoods, but new developments can be zoned to allow them — that way people buying in can know what to expect when they buy into an area.

Last year, the Colorado Association of Ski Towns published a report looking at how 10 different U.S. mountain towns were handling vacation rentals. The report looked at all aspects of vacation rentals, from the size of the industry, to the impact on housing, and impact on the hotel industry. Some have embraced them fully while others have greatly restricted them. In Crested Butte, more than half the housing in the community is listed as a vacation rental.

In Durango, where much stricter regulations are in place, that number is only one per cent.

The biggest concerns were the loss of long-term rental housing, the lack of collection of a hotel tax, and the impact on community and neighbourhood character. The report includes a lengthy list of best practices such as requiring licenses and inspections, tracking and publishing maps of rentals, hiring staff to ensure compliance, and having a local manager and emergency contact.

It also recommends putting a restriction on the number of vacation rentals allowed in a neighbourhood.

Dan Wilson, a community planning specialist with the Whistler Centre for Sustainability, said all tourism communities should permit vacation rentals. How they go about doing it depends on the community. He noted that in Tofino, the regulations require that a caretaker live on site. In Sechelt, vacation rentals are allowed everywhere, but owners are required to make a refundable $1,000 deposit with the municipality to cover any fines that result from bylaw enforcement.

"The communities that come up with the best ways are the ones that engage more people," said Wilson.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR REVELSTOKE

all significant pitfalls.

"Getting the community to establish a number is almost impossible," he added.

There are also challenges with setting limits on which neighbourhoods they're permitted in. Is it fair – to both home owners and their neighbours – to allow them in one place but not another? "We're trying to work away towards a solution that's going to work for the community in the long run," said Strachan.

Stay tuned for part three, which will look at the financial issues around vacation rentals. Look for more Development Matter stories in the Review, Current & Mountaineer.

Dean Strachan said there were three complaints received about vacation rentals over the Christmas holidays — one was about a legal rental, another was an illegal one, and the third wasn't a rental, but was over some unruly house guests. He will be presenting a report to council in May that will look at vacation rental activity over the winter. "(Council is) going to have to make decisions on whether they wish to change over from passive enforcement – complaints-only – or a pursuit type of enforcement where you actually begin to hunt," said Strachan.

Axis Mundi, from page 1 The result was a festival that was successful artistically, but a failure financially.

“It’s very disappointing,” said Norm Lanlois, the president of the Revelstoke Accommodation Association, who provided funding to support the festival. “We were quite excited about them.

We thought it would bring some new business in a quieter period for us.”

Langlois said the expectation was that Rampen would host three festivals. The money made off the first one would go to start up the next two.

However, due to the losses, the money wasn’t to get the next event, which was scheduled for June,

up and going.

Carol Palladino, the president of the Revelstoke Arts Council, credited Rampen with putting on an amazing event.

“I think Hugo really tried to hit a home run,” she said. “It was a first class lineup but the weather goddess did not shine on the event.

“If the weather had gone differently, this would be a different story.”

On Facebook, the organizers thanked the local supporters, including the Revelstoke Arts Council, the City of Revelstoke, Revelstoke Mountain Resort, various community groups, the venues that hosted events and the volunteers that helped out.

COMMUNITY

Salmon Arm experience shared at Revelstoke for Refugees film night ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Earlier this month, Salmon Arm welcomed its first Syrian refugee. Mustafa Zakreet, 24, arrived in the Shuswap community about 10 days — the first of his family, which is one of seven the community is sponsoring.

“They saved my life,” he told the Salmon Arm Observer, when asked what it meant to arrive in Salmon Arm from a refugee camp in Lebanon. “I don’t know how to thank them.”

Salmon Arm has taken the plunge to sponsor Syrian Refugees. They started with 15 people at a meeting in October, and by December, 50 people came out, representing 11 churches, two Rotary Clubs and one secular group who called themselves the pagans.

On Thursday, Revelstoke heard about the Salmon Arm experience during a film night hosted by Revelstoke for Refugees, the group that is trying to sponsore a family locally.

"It’s been a wonderful collaboration of the entire community," said Brian Ayotte, the co-founder of the Salmon Arm Community Group. "We now have seven families being sponsored, and possibly two more."

In Salmon Arm, the effort has been a community-wide collaboration. One refu-

Amanda Hathorn-Geary, Brian Ayotte and Gudrun Malmqvist lead a panel discussion during the Revelstoke for Refugees film night last Thursday. ~ Photo by Alex Cooper, Revelstoke Review gee was sponsored by each Rotary Club, one by each of the United, Lutheran and Catholic churches, and three by consortiums.

They've reached out to the community to find job opportunities and set up a website where people can register to donate money, time, clothing and furniture. They have established committees to look after things like health care, education, language and employ-

ment. “Things have got very well organized and its moving along nicely," said Ayotte.

Shuswap Settlement Services (SSS) has acted to support the efforts by answering questions from the public at their office.

"We found that answering questions and allaying people’s concerns has gone a long way to ease the idea of bringing families into Salmon Arm," said Gudrun Malmqvist,

from SSS. She said a lot of people expressed concern the refugees would take jobs and housing from local families — both of which are in short supply. They've been trying to allay concerns and do outreach with the community.

“For us it's been as big a learning curve as it's been for the sponsoring groups," she said. "We’re excited to welcome as many people as we’ve been able to get in Salmon Arm.” Ayotte said it was important for Revelstoke for Refugees to keep the community together. “I think keeping the coalition in Salmon Arm together is very important," he said. "That means you have to be comfortable with people saying things you don’t like or don’t agree with.”

In Revelstoke, more than $20,000 has been raised so far, including $1,791.55 from the film night. Revelstoke for Refugees hopes to raise $60,000 to support the first family in order to provide it with a living wage, but they can start the sponsorship process once they have about $30,000 in the bank.

The Alliance Church is acting as the Sponsorship Agreement Holder for the group.

Donations to Revelstoke For Refugees can be made through the Revelstoke Community Foundation website or at the Revelstoke Credit Union.

Signs showing the boundary of Glacier National Park, and indicating the snowmobiling prohibition, are located along the park boundary. ~ Photo contributed by Parks Canada ing snowmobiles. They found the men uninjured at a nearby cabin and escorted them back to their vehicle at the staging area.

“The group is believed to have crossed into Glacier National Park, at which time they became stuck and unable to get out,” said Cst. Spencer Lainchbury, a spokesperson for the Golden-Field RCMP. On Tuesday, Jan. 19, the park wardens flew into the area and confirmed the presence of the snowmobiles. The snowmobiles were flown out of the area; the men will be charged the cost of rescuing their machines.

"Now that we have the sleds out, there is an investigation happening," said Daniluck. "They will have to make a decision whether or not the snowmobilers are charged under the National Parks Act." The Quartz Creek snowmobiling area is located near the northeastern boundary of the park. Daniluck said the park boundary runs along the height of the land in the area and that snowmobilers often ride near the boundary, following the ridge top. She didn't know how far into the park the snowmobilers went.

"If they cross over down to the other side, it just drops off into the park," she said.

It is illegal to snowmobile in national parks and violators can be fined up to $25,000.

Signs indicating the park boundary are placed along the ridge. New signs saying "no snowmobiling or motorized vehicles beyond this point" were erected this summer, said Daniluck.

"Parks Canada has been working with the Golden snowmobile Club to enhance the messaging about people knowing where the park boundary is so people don't snowmobile there," she said.

There have been two other instances of snowmobilers entering the national park, said Daniluck.

"Snowmobiling is not permitted in Glacier National Park. Locally, everyone knows that, however the greater Canadian audience may not know that," she said. "We also remind snowmobilers to check maps at provincial trailheads to make sure they're not entering a national park."

Diversity abounds at Carousel of Nations REVELSTOKE REVIEW STAFF Now in its seventh year, the annual Carousel of Nations, hosted by the Revelstoke Multicultural Society, will once again feature plenty of cultural delights from around the globe.

As in past years, the Revelstoke Highlanders will open the event, followed by a First Nations and Revelstoke Multicultural Society welcome. Other acts featured include local musicians Myra Morrison and Denis Severino playing Appalachian fiddle music; Yamabiko Taiko Japanese drumming group out of Kelowna; Wes Mackey playing blues, and; Cori Derickson doing Aboriginal storytelling.

Derickson, who is from Kelowna will be doing a series of First Nations dances. She will be performing the Eagle dance, a spiritual dance performed around the world in many cultures. Derickson has travelled and performed in Peru and France.

This year's Carousel of Nations will also include KIDS Around the World, a feature dreamt up by local teacher Gabriella Draboczi. This feature for primary/elementary school children features 12 representatives from different cultures who designed 20 minute long interactive games and presentations for children to participate in. Each features a different country.

New to the event this year is a partnership between the Revelstoke Multicultural Society and the North Columbia Environmental Society.

“With the help of the NCES we are trying to make our event more environmentally

AVALANCHE SAFETY

Snow fidelity MOUNT FIDELITY HAS BEEN HOME TO SNOW STUDIES FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS. WE VISITED THE SITE, WHICH IS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC, TO LEARN WHAT GLACIER NATIONAL PARK AVALANCHE TECHNICIANS DO THERE, AND HOW THAT INFORMATION IS USED TO PRODUCE THE DAILY AVALANCHE BULLETIN AND TO CONDUCT HIGHWAY AVALANCHE CONTROL. ALEX COOPER

Shovelling. Working as an avalanche technician in Glacier National Park requires lots of it. Shoveling out the cabin, and digging snow pits.

"We shovel a lot," says Danyelle Magnan as she and her colleague Chris Gooliaff dig a full snow pit on Mount Fidelity. I offer to help, but I don't push the matter when they decline the offer, and take pictures instead. The pit is 1.5 metres deep and two metres wide — big enough so they can get a good read on the developing snowpack.

Their big concern is a weak layer that was buried on January 4. It consists of a mix of surface hoar, crusts and facets, depending on where you are and which way the slops is facing. They were directed to see how it was reacting in advance of the big storm that was forecast to arrive that day.

"The slab above it is just really developing now," said Magnan.

I joined Magnan, Gooliaff, Ian Gale and Dean Flick on a visit to Mount Fidelity last Thursday, Jan. 21. Gooliaff is a visitor safety officer while the others are avalanche technicians. Also with us was Allison Fleischer, the new external relations manager for Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks.

Mount Fidelity is closed to the public all winter. It's been used as a snow monitoring site since the early 1960s, when the Trans-Canada Highway was built through Glacier National Park. For decades, an avalanche technician would live in a cabin on the mountain and would make daily weather and snow observations and radio them down to the forecasters at Rogers Pass.

Now, the avalanche team accesses the site by snow cat on a road that winds its way up the mountain. The cabin still exists, along with some of the historic equipment. In a corner rests a massive saw they once used for snow profiles until someone realized it would be easier to cut the snow with a thin rope.

The snow study site is located at about 1,905 metres elevation and was likely established for the easy access it provides to a variety of elevations and aspects.

REVELSTOKE REVIEW ■ Wednesday January 27, 2016 ■ 13

AVALANCHE SAFETY "We can get to the treeline and alpine safely in whatever weather, which is pretty key for our teams," said Magnan.

The other benefit is there's a historical snowpack record dating back 50 years, which is a valuable resource for the avalanche forecasters and researchers.

Significantly, it's unskied, so the snow isn't impacted by skier traffic.

"It's becoming increasingly difficult to find areas where we can get snowpack information that's safe to access, you can access in a reasonable amount of time, and get that information that hasn't been affected by people schralping everything," said Magnan. *** The typical day for the avalanche team begins at 7 a.m. at the Rogers Pass Centre. The first one in checks the weather, the second does a safety briefing, and one of them will write that day's avalanche bulletin. They meet to discuss the day's objectives and head out. That could mean a visit to Mount Fidelity, or a trip to somewhere else in the park to get additional snowpack information. Recently, teams went up to the Dome and to Little Sifton to dig pits and collect data.

I met the team at the base of Mount Fidelity and we drove up the road in a cat to the snow study site. Light flurries fell from the sky and the question on everyone's mind was when the big storm would hit the area. Depending on which forecast you believed, more than 40 centimetres of snow might fall over the course of the next day.

"That's our big concern, is that system coming in," said Magnan. "There's a bunch of different weather forecasts, and if you go by the ones that are most optimistic snow-wise you can get a pretty significant load in the next 24–48 hours and it definitely has the potential to produce some pretty big avalanches and for things to get touchy for skiers."

Upon arrival, they checked the weather data. There are stakes set up that measure 24 hour, 48 hour and storm snow totals; another one keeps track of the height of the snow over the winter. There's three elevated towers with instruments that measure snow and precipitation.

The data is radioed down to the forecaster at Rogers Pass and the teams headed out to do full snow profiles. Flick and Gale strapped on their skis and skinned over to a north facing slope while I joined Magnan and Gooliaff to drive slightly downhill in the cat to dig a pit on an east aspect. We stopped at a spot called Jim Bay's corner; each switchback on the road is named for where someone once got the cat stuck. *** Continued on next page

AVALANCHE SAFETY

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan: BC Hydro Facilities 2016-2021

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan (PMP) applies.

The purpose of the proposed PMP is to control vegetation at BC Hydro facilities to maintain safe and reliable operations which support the delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of British Columbia where BC Hydro has operational or planned facilities such as electrical substations, generation switchyards, generating sites, communication sites, storage sites, administrative buildings, or land owned or leased for future facilities.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 2016 to April 2021.

Vegetation incompatible with the operation of the power system will be controlled using: physical (manual brushing, girdling, hand-pulling, hedge trimming, mowing, pruning, weed trimming or tree removal), cultural (gravel/hard surfacing, planting ground cover), biological (release of parasitic insects to control noxious and invasive plants) or chemical (herbicide application) techniques, or any combination of these methods.

The active ingredients and trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include: ○ acetic acid – Ecoclear, Munger’s Hort Vinegar or equivalent, ○ aminocyclopyrachlor and chlorsulfuron – Truvist or equivalent ○ aminocyclopyrachlor and metsulfuron-methyl – Navius or equivalent ○ aminopyralid – Milestone or equivalent ○ aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl – ClearView or equivalent ○ aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, and fluroxypyr – Sightline or equivalent ○ aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl and triclopyr – Clearview Brush or equivalent ○ Chlorsulfuron – Telar or equivalent ○ Chondrostereum purpureum – Chontrol or equivalent

○ clopyralid – Lontrel, Transline or equivalent or equivalent ○ dicamba – Vanquish, Banvel or equivalent

From previous page

○ dichlorprop-P and 2,4-D – Estaprop XT or equivalent ○ diflufenzopyr and dicamba – Distinct, Overdrive or equivalent ○ diuron – Karmex, Diurex 80 WDG or equivalent ○ flumioxazin – Payload or equivalent ○ glyphosate – Vantage, Vision or equivalent ○ imazapyr – Arsenal Powerline or equivalent ○ indaziflam – Esplanade or equivalent ○ metsulfuron-methyl – Escort or equivalent ○ picloram – Tordon 22k, Tordon 101 or equivalent ○ picloram and 2,4-D – Aspect or equivalent ○ triclopyr – Garlon products or equivalent ○ Trifluralin – BioBarriere, Treflan or equivalent ○ 2,4-D – LV700 or equivalent Adjuvant products may also be combined on occasion with a herbicide to improve its effectiveness, such as: nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol – Agral 90, paraffinic oils – Gateway, octadec-9-enoic acid as methyl and ethyl esters – Hasten NT, or siloxylated polyether – Xiameter or equivalents.

The proposed methods for applying herbicides include: soil applied techniques (backpack sprayer, powerhose or fixed boom sprayer), cut surface, basal bark, backpack foliar, mechanized foliar (fixed nozzle, boom directed nozzle, wick sprayer), and injection (hack and squirt, lance or syringe) techniques.

A draft copy of the proposed PMP is available at bchydro.com/pestplanforfacilities.

Alternatively, it is available in person at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby; 1401 Kalamalka Lake Road, Vernon; 18475 128 Street, Surrey; 400 Madsen Road, Nanaimo; 3333 22 Avenue, Prince George.

BC Hydro, the applicant for the proposed PMP, is located at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4X8.

Please contact Tom Wells, Vegetation Program Manager, at 604 516 8943 or thomas.wells@bchydro.com for more information.

A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the above address within 30 days of the publication notice.

A full profile usually involves digging to ground, which here is 170 centimetres below the surface of the snow. However, this winter the mid and lower snowpack has consolidated and lower layers are not a concern so they only dig down 1.5 metres. The January 4 layer, about 40 centimetres down, is what they're looking at.

The profile requires conducting three compression tests, two shovel shear tests and one Rutschblock test. Each tests the weak layers in varying ways.

The Rustchblock test is the most involved. In it, a skier will step on an isolated block of snow and provide increasing amounts of pressure until it fails.

Gooliaff conducted the compression tests while Magnan examined the layers in the snow pack. She marked them in the snow, measure their depths, looked at the temperature of the snow in each layer, and looked at the density of the snow.

Magnan had the honour of conducting the Rutschblock test. She strapped on her skis and climbed to the top of the slope. She stepped on the block and nothing happened. Then, she bent her knees and the whole block collapsed — the sign a slab had developed and it could propagate. "Last week there was no slab above (the Jan. 4 layer). You might get it to fail, but the snow above was fluff," said Magnan. "What we see today confirms it's turning into a slab."

Slabs are the big danger in the avalanche world and are what causes the really big avalanches that bury people — and roads.

When Gale and Flick radioed in their result, they reported little reactivity. That makes it more challenging when writing the avalanche bulletin, said Magnan. "It makes it harder to communicate, but what we saw was in that realm of skier triggerabilty, the potential to trigger a slab avalanche that could bury a person is there," she said. "We're already thinking about tomorrow's bulletin today, and tomorrow you'll look at what changed and put together the most accurate information." *** The information is also used to decide if highway avalanche control will take place. That day, after I returned to the office, Parks Canada announced they would be conducting avalanche control in Glacier National Park on Friday.

The goal for highway avalanche control is to bring down snow before there's enough so that huge avalanches that cover the highway can develop. With 40 centimetres overlying a weak layer, and 40 centimetres in the forecast, the decision was made to bring the snow down throughout the highway corridor before it could get any deeper.

"Forecasters think about at what point they can bring down the snow most effectively and efficiently without hitting the highway," said Gooliaff. "You try to eliminate the five or six metre snow up high which at the end of the season can get down to the base and go down to the highway and close it for several days."

And so, on Friday, the Canadian military brought out their howitzer and blasted some of the 130 or so avalanche paths that overlay the highway. It's one of the densest concentrations of avalanche slopes anywhere.

Grizzlies go winless at home

Annual

ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The Revelstoke Grizzlies went winless at home in three games against division rivals last week, diminishing hopes of climbing out of fourth place in the Doug Birks Division.

The week started last Tuesday, Jan. 19, with the Chase Heat in town. The Heat capitalized on the Grizzlies lack of discipline, scoring four times on six power play opportunities to skate away with a 4-0 win.

On Friday, the 100 Mile House Wranglers were in town for the first of two games against the Grizzlies at the Forum.

The visitors jumped ahead early, with goals 91 seconds apart near the midway point of the first.

Ullar Wiatzka got Revelstoke back within one three minutes into the second period, only for 100 Mile to restore their two goal lead two minutes later.

Revelstoke was given new life when Peter Grimm scored his first KIJHL goal with just under five minutes left in the frame.

The Grizzlies pressed hard for the tie in the third until Wiatza scored on the power play with 6:16 left to go. The game appeared to be headed to overtime when Nicholas Higgs took a tripping penalty to stop a breakaway with 1:36 to go in the game. Michael Lynch scored for the Wranglers only 17 seconds into the powerplay to give 100 Mile a 4-3 lead that they would hold until the final buzzer.

On Saturday, the team's were back at it at the Forum in one of the tightest

Alpine club in action REVELSTOKE SKI CLUB The Revelstoke Ski Club showed strong form over the weekend, as 18 athletes from the U12, U14 and U16 teams travelled to Sun Peaks to compete in the Okanagan Zone Race Series sponsored by Teck. Podium performances from Revelstoke included Reed Kelly’s single gold and three silver medals in the U12 boys, Nora Sidjak with a bronze in slalom for U12 girls and older brother John Sidjak achieving a third place slalom result for U14 boys. Colm Molder, Jenna Knight, Bergen Schmidt, Nolan Gale, Teigan Lenzi, Max Brodkorb and Sydney Musseau also achieved top ten finishes. For the U12 and U14s this was the first race of the winter and their strong showing is due in part to hours of training both on and off their skis since September.

All of the athletes will resume a onemonth training block at RMR, as well as weekly dryland sessions, in preparation for the next set of races at the end of February.

Thanks to the coaches and parents who helped make this weekend such a success.

Skiers set to take off for Cold Rush next week ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com

Take your first step to the international stage!

Applications now being accepted for Miss Teen BC, Miss BC & Mrs BC! To apply visit your community newspaper website and click on contests.

It's take two for the Red Bull Cold Rush at Revelstoke Mountain Resort next week.

After being postponed then canceled in 2015, Red Bull is giving their signature freeskiing event another go at RMR from February 2–5.

The four day event will feature 21 skiers competing in four different freeskiing competitions that will determine who is the best all around skier. Here's four things you should know to get you started.

1. WHAT ARE THE EVENTS? There are four competitions taking place over three days. On Tuesday, Feb. 2, skiers take part in the big mountain skiing competition. Skiers will have a start and an end point and it's up to them what they do in between. They'll be judged on speed, fluidity, style and difficulty. Day two features the cliff hucking event, where competitors will be judged on airtime, difficulty and style in the air. The final day is the the backcountry slopestyle and the alpine touring. The first will see competitors hit up a course filled with man-made jumps and features. The second is a race up and down the mountain.

2. WHO'S TAKING PART?

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BLACK PRESS COMMUNITY NEWS MEDIA

Sixteen men and five women were invited, including many of the world's top freeskiers. The athlete list features Mike Hentiuk, Dave Treadway, Sean Pettit, Dane Tudor, Sammy Carlson, Alexi Godbout, Callum Pettit, Kye Petersen, Riley Leboe, Wiley Miller, Colston VB, Greg Hope, Johnny Collinson, Stan Rey, Joe Schuster, Josh Bibby, Tatum Monod, Michelle Parker, Angel Collison, Lexi Dupont and Suz Graham. Tudor is the closest there is to a local. The Rossland, B.C., native now calls Revelstoke home; he also happens to be the defending champion. "I don't think there's anything I need to do to win," he wrote in an e-mail. "Just have fun riding the terrain that's presented in the venues and if my peers like my style of skiing then that's great!"

3. HOW CAN I WATCH? The big mountain competition will take place on the face known locally as Spilt Milk. You'll be able to watch from the bottom of Greeley Bowl. The slopestyle and ski touring will take place in Montana Bowl, outside the ski resort boundary. You'll be able to watch it from South Bowl with a good pair of binoculars, or you can head out of bounds to get closer to the action — just make sure you're prepared with avalanche gear. The cliff hucking event is taking place deep in the resort backcountry and will not be easily accessible to spectators.

4. HOW DO THEY DECIDE WHO WINS? There are three awards. The first two – King & Queen of Cold Rush – will be determined by the athletes themselves. On Friday, Feb. 5, at 7:30 p.m., they'll gather at the Roxy to watch their best runs and judge each other. You can watch too — tickets are $25 and can be purchased at RMR or through the RMR website.

The People's Choice Award will be voted on by the public once the runs are posted online on Feb. 8. Fans will have three days to watch the highlights and cast their vote.

Revelstoke women's hockey team hosting tournament ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The Revelstoke Kodiaks women's hockey team is hosting their first ever tournament at the Forum in March.

The Kodiaks are set to welcome teams from Whistler, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Kamloops and Golden for the first ever Diva Cup tournament on the weekend of March 19–20.

"It's the first ever women's tournament in Revelstoke," said Lauren Barras, one of the team's captains.

"We've been wanting for a couple of years, but we haven't been able to get the ice," added co-captain Whitney Kendrick.

Revelstoke has a long history of women's hockey and used to have a traveling team that played against squads around B.C. Recently, the team has focused on weekly drop-in sessions and heading to tournaments.

I met up with a few of the players recently after a practice against a group of men that

served as warm-up for an outdoor tournament they went to in Apex last weekend.

They said about 40 women have come out to drop-in this year, and there's a core group of about 20 regulars. "It's up from the last couple of years," said Sami Lingren.

The group is a mix of experienced players and those just in getting into the sport.

They said one Australian girl came out looking to try the sport.

The Wednesday night drop-in is open to anyone. They have extra sets of equipment for people to use. "If anyone wants to give it a try, come on out. We'll find you gear," said Barras.

They also get coached by Rostislav Prihonsky, the Revelstoke Grizzlies assistant coach.

"He's been really good since we've been trying to get a lot of new girls out, and he's got good core skills," said Barras.

Women's drop-in hockey takes place at the Forum every Wednesday 8:15 p.m. The Diva Cup takes place March 19–20. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

Thank You

Karen & Rick Powers ~ Conversation’s Coffee House …for the use of Conversations and the refreshments and meat trays.

Gary Sulz …for making up the memory cards of Martin, and your comforting words.

Paul Levesque …for the great picture of Martin that you had made up for everyone.

Trevor & Staff @ Red Apple …for the chocolate bars that Martin liked to give out.

Judy Vigue, Maria Stagliano, Edie Schleiss, Ruby Cameron, Mrytle Nichol, Beryl Buckley …for helping to put the special day together.

Meghann Hutton …for the pictures of Martin.

Fay & Sam Howe …for the bottles of Martin’s wine and the tremendous amount of baking ~ all of Martin’s favorites.

And finally to each and everyone who took the time out to pay tribute to this kind, gentle and wonderful man.

You will be missed, Martin William Ernest Ottewell William Ernest Ottewell passed away peacefully at Queen Victoria Hospital on January 20th at the age of 89 years. Ernie has requested no formal service. A tea will be held in the Spring. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Revelstoke Railway Museum P.O. Box 3018, Revelstoke, B.C. V0E 2S0.

Thanks to the doctors, nurses and all staff at QVH, also thanks to the Homecare Ladies and Meals on Wheels which enabled our dad to keep his independence.

Ernie was born August 4, 1926 in Edmonton. He spent most of his life in Revelstoke. Throughout his life he had a thirst for knowledge whether it be gardening, volunteering, reading, building his house, or modeling steam engines.

Ernie started his railway career in 1943. Some of the highlights were having the honour of running the first full train through the Macdonald tunnel in the Rogers Pass. He was the engineer on the 1201 for the 100th anniversary of the Last Spike.

He was heavily involved with the Revelstoke Railway Museum since its inception, bringing out the steam engine 5468 from Montreal.

Ernie was predeceased by his wife Winnifred and sister Marge. Ernie is survived

by Karen (Dave) Bradbury, Bill Ottewell, Janice (Dan) McNutt and grandchildren Sam and Jodie, as well his partner Joyce Rasmussen who accompanied him through his later years.

Messages of sympathy may be sent to Ernie’s family by viewing his obituary at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com.

Cremation arrangements are in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.
