Mica Dam upgrade construction marks 1st anniversary It’s been a year since work on the $900-million Mica Units 5 & 6 project got underway.

Just like the Revelstoke Dam, when the Mica Dam was first built, designers left empty spaces for additional generators. The Mica Units 5 & 6 project adds two new generators.

BC Hydro spokesperson Jennifer Walker Larsen provided the Times Review with an update on progress so far.

“During the first year of construction, Mica project workers focused on preparing the concrete and steel water passages that will channel water from the new turbines into the Revelstoke Reservoir below Mica Dam,” Walker-Larsen said. “In the second year, the project workers will complete the water passages and begin installing electrical and mechanical equipment including the two 145-tonne turbines needed to power the generating units.”

A steel draft tube liner (picture at left) is being installed. When complete, the seven-meter wide draft tube will channel water through and release it below the dam.

At the start of May there were 183 workers on site. Walker-Larsen said about half of them were Columbia Basin residents. Workers are hired through the Columbia Hydro Constructors Agreement, which gives preference to residents of the Columbia Basin.

Hydro has just posted a contract on BC Bid for the next stages of construction, including hooking up the new generators.

The project is scheduled to take five years. ~Times Review staff BC Hydro image

Back-to-work legislation tabled as CP strike continues ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

A strike by 4,800 CP Rail employees across Canada appears set to end after Federal Labour Minister announced intentions to introduce backto-work legislation Monday morning.

The engineers, conductors and rail traffic controllers, known collectively as the running trades, went on strike last Wednesday, May 23 at midnight after negotiations failed between the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference, representing the workers, and CP Rail.

The back-to-work legislation was expected; the day the strike started, Labour Minister Lisa Raitt announced the government was considering legislating an end to the strike.

“We are concerned that the work stoppage at Canadian Pacific Railway will have a negative impact on the Canadian economy and put the jobs of thousands of other Canadians at risk if it is prolonged,” said Minister Raitt.

Les Daley, the chairman of the local engineers, said they were used to getting legislated back to work.

The cost of the strike to the Canadian economy is estimated at more than $500 million per week.

Throughout the past week, local workers were stationed at the CP Rail parking lot on Victoria Road, where they held up placards and picket signs. On Friday, about 300 workers and their supporters held a rally in Pensions, page 23

Making dining out just a little bit easier It is now easier than ever to make healthy choices when dining out with the recent launch of the Province of British Columbia’s Informed Dining program.

Featuring more than 300 restaurant outlets in British Columbia, the program publishes nutritional information and allows diners to view the information in a format similar to that of a nutritional guide on products at the grocery store.

All you have to do is look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants.

“British Columbians have made it clear they want information to help them make informed choices about what they and their families are eating,” says B.C. Minister of Health Mike de Jong. “With Informed Dining, we are partnering with B.C. restaurants to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.”

Some of the participating restaurants include chains such as The Boathouse, De Dutch, A&W and Little Caesar’s, and stand-alone restaurants such as H.A.V.E. Cafe in Vancouver, Mountain Eagle Books in Smithers and Joseph’s Coffee House in Victoria.

With people in British Columbia eating a meal in a restaurant approximately 10 per cent of the time, it’s never been more important to be able to source out healthy options.

With the new program, calorie and sodium information is prominently highlighted for all regular menu items, while other nutrients, including carbohydrates and fat, are also noted. The program also gives advice on daily calorie and

Excess weight can increase the risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and various cancers, so caloriecounting is an important part of a healthy diet. Eating too much sodium contributes to high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and kidney disease, making sodium another important piece of the healthy eating puzzle.

“Healthy eating is a critical element in living a long and healthy life and avoiding cardiovascular disease,” says Gavin Arthur, vice-president of research and health promotion for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. “The Informed Dining program takes a positive step forward in providing people with information they can use in making informed choices while dining out.”

The program is voluntary, but the provincial government is

encouraging every restaurant to join the initiative and make such information available.

“We want to be part of the solution in making healthy choices, easy choices in B.C.,” says Vice-President of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association Mark von Schellwitz. “This program has the potential to help restaurant patrons become more conscious about what they are eating – it also shines a light on those establishments already providing menu nutrition content while encouraging other restaurants to follow suit.”

The provincial government has been working on this program since 2010, and has given restaurants several options for disclosing nutrition information, including a menu insert, a poster or a brochure.

“I am proud that we have about 300 outlets across the province signed up to participate in this important program,” says Ian Tostenson, CEO and president of the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association. “I know that other business will continue to learn more about Informed Dining and sign up – this information is what our customers have been telling us they want, and it is our responsibility to provide it.”

The initiative is part of the Healthy Families BC campaign, created by the Province to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent chronic disease. For more information, visit www. healthyfamiliesbc.ca/home/informed-dining. The website also features a contest with weekly draws and a grand prize to cook like a chef and learn from a dietitian.

STOP GUESSING

Just look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants and ask your server for nutrition information to help you make healthy choices from the menu. You can now be confident when eating at participating restaurants that you’ll have access to nutrition information before you make your menu choice. Stop guessing...and start asking!

MP David Wilks anti-budget comments cause national stir ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks said he will vote against the Conservative government’s omnibus budget bill, but only if 12 other government MPs vote with him.

“I will stand up and say the Harper government should get rid of Bill C-38,” he told a gathering of about 30 constituents at the Best Western Hotel in Revelstoke last Tuesday, May 22.

He hedged his remarks, saying he was powerless as a lone MP to change anything and would need 12 other MPs to vote with him to defeat the bill.

“If Canadians want it changed, then enough Canadians have to stand (up) to their MPs and say ‘no.’ ,” he said.

A day later he “clarified” his remarks. “I support this bill, and the jobs and growth measures that it will bring for Canadians in Kootenay-Columbia and right across the country,” he said in a statement posted to his website.

His remarks, which were first reported by the Times Review, made national headlines, going from a little known backbencher (Peter Mansbridge, host of CBC’s The National said he had never heard of Wilks) to one of the big newsmakers of the week in Canada.

What really caught people’s attention was not only his remark saying he would vote against the bill, but also his candidness about how Ottawa works. The meeting was recorded by Claude Awad, who posted the videos to YouTube.

He was addressing a group of constituents who had many misgivings about the 450-page bill, notably the elements that gut environmental regulations in Canada but also the changes to Old Age Security, funding to the CBC and more.

He told the gathered constituents that, “a barrage of Conservatives ... hold your concerns and I

am one of them.”

However, he explained the budget was a whipped vote and if he voted against it he would be kicked out of caucus. He acknowledged there had been no free votes since he was elected last May and he said that backbench MPs only got to see important legislation at the same time as the media, after it had been debated by cabinet.

“It certainly concerns some of us backbenchers,” he said. “The decisions are made predominantly by cabinet and then they come back to us informing us how this is going to move forward.”

His comments sparked a national debate about the role of backbencher MPs in Parliament and the balance of power in Ottawa between the cabinet and House of Commons.

The meeting, which was organized by Meghan Anderson (see page 6 for her column on the meeting and Bill C-38), saw the Conservative government called out for a number of issues, from the cuts to Parks Canada to military spending to changes to Environmental Assessment Act and the government’s support of Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline.

Wilks struggled to defend the bill, prompting Brendan Ginter to ask him if there was anything he liked about it. To that, Wilks responded that he agreed with the one project, one review change to environmental assessments for major projects. “As long as it’s done right I don’t have a problem with that,” he said.

He was presented with a petition and several letters that he said he would take back to Ottawa and table in the House of Commons.

The next morning, on May 23, Wilks was in Cranbrook to address the Chamber of Commerce. There, he changed his tune and clearly stated that he did support the budget as a whole.

“I support the budget, I support what’s in the budget, and I believe we should move forward with it,” he said.

David Wilks addresses his constituents at the Best Western Hotel on May 22.

However, he soon tempered that statement by saying he didn’t agree with every one of the 60 items in the 400-page document, referring to the duty-free limits specifically.

“I may not agree with everything in this book. I can say I don’t like the tax exemption, but it’s irrelevant because it’s in the book.

Taking it out of here is not happening,” said Wilks.

He admitted that he had heard from the Prime Minister’s Office after making the comments in Revelstoke.

“You may not agree with all the policies but you have to pick and choose your battles. This is one I choose not to pick,” he said.

While he may have backpedalled on his position on the budget over a 24-hour period, Wilks did repeat some controversial comments about “the way Ottawa works”.

“Ottawa is run by a ton of 20something bureaucrats who know

that in three years my term is up and they will still be there,” he said.

He explained to the gathered business owners that MPs are expected to vote as a party rather than as an individual.

“If you don’t vote the way the party votes, you will be an independent the next day,” said Wilks.

“When you tell me to vote against it, I can’t unless you want an independent MP.” He also said that he would quit rather than vote against the budget.

“We do things to piss off the NDP, and they do things to piss us off. Because it’s a bloodsport. Is it right? No, but that’s the way it is,” he said.

On Friday, May 25, a small group of enthusiastic citizens gathered outside Wilks’ constituency office to support him in his willingness to vote against Bill C-38.

Rhonda Barter, who ran for the

NDP nomination in Kootenay-Columbia last year, and her mother Avril Oliver drove in from Creston for the rally.

“It erodes democracy more and more if our MPs don’t have time to debate. It makes a sham of the whole thing,” said Oliver.

“We’re here because we want to stand behind David Wilks in stopping the budget bill. There are over 60 items in the budget, more than there are weeks in a year,” said Barter. “I want to say to (Wilks): do the right thing, even if you’re the only one. I want to say Dave, don’t back down.”

Wilks was not present for the rally; however his constituency assistant came out of the office to hear some of the comments.

On Saturday, Wilks thanked his supporters on Facebook. “I will return to Ottawa tomorrow and see what my fate is on Monday.”

Assailant targets lone woman near Illecillewaet Times Review staff

Revelstoke RCMP are appealing for public assistance following a midafternoon mugging on Monday in a popular outdoor recreation area.

Police say a lone female was sitting alone in a wooded area near the Illecillewaet River at about 4:30 p.m. on Monday, May 21.

She was approached by a stranger who was riding a white bicycle. He asked her for a cigarette. The man then reached out and grabbed her purse. They struggled briefly and the man eventually wrested the purse from her and fled.

The female victim received some minor bruising in the struggle. Police managed to recover some of her possessions near the scene.

Revelstoke RCMP provided the following description of the attacker: - about 40 years old - slim build - about 180 cm tall (5’ 9”) - short, stubbly beard - wore a white Nike shirt - black jacket - black pants - wearing a black Kangol brand hat (Kangol is a brand name. Kangol hats come in many shapes and styles, but they all feature a distinctive kangaroo logo) “This is a very unusual type of offence for Revelstoke,” said Revel-

stoke RCMP Staff-Sgt. Jacque Olsen in a statement. “Although the police believed this to be a random crime of opportunity, the public is reminded to always beware of your surroundings and to report anything suspicious.”

In a telephone interview, Olsen said the incident had originally been reported as a sexual assault, but RCMP are now classifying the incident as described above.

The RCMP were canvassing in town on Monday evening, looking for the man described above in connection with a “sexual assault.” A local bar manager confirmed to the Times Review that police officers came in and were looking for a man with a Nike shirt and Kangol brand hat on Monday evening.

Olsen said that police only have a description; they don’t have a suspect in the incident.

Olsen sought to downplay community fears about the incident, saying it appeared to be a “one-off” incident at this point. Police continue their efforts to identify the individual involved in the incident, but Olsen said that at this point police weren’t overly concerned about the trail network around the Illecillewaet River because it is a relatively high pedestrian traffic area.

City rejects small business owner’s pleas to keep sign Eight-month struggle to keep small sign ends in defeat at council, but could prompt reform of city sign bylaw and approval process AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The sign is about a foot high and five feet long. It reads: “Bodylogic Therapeutic Massage 250.837.3666.”

It features a tasteful floral logo. To a passerby like me, it looks a lot like the other signs of the same size that line the outside of the newly-renovated Arlington Building on First Street East.

It’s certainly not a blazing-fluorescent, flashing-neon monstrosity hawking discount cigs and cold beer.

But to bureaucrats at city hall, and the city’s development review committee, it was a violation of unspoken city rules and had to be removed under threat of penalty.

Bodylogic Therapeutic Massage owner Karen Schneider says she’s out about $1,000 for the sign. She estimates she’s spent over 30 hours doing paperwork, corresponding and responding to grief from Revelstoke city hall. Despite her eight-monthlong struggle, her application to keep the sign received a final no from city council on May 22.

So, what was the issue with the sign? There was a telephone number on it, which is a no-no. An unclear no-no, as Schneider explains to me.

She shows me the city’s sign guideline booklet. Two of the images in the booklet show example signs with telephone numbers on them. The guidelines don’t say telephone numbers are forbidden – which Schneider pointed out in a letter to the city in October of last year. The reply from city hall? “The sign guidelines state that sign text shall consist of the busi-

Karen Schneider

Above: This Bodylogic sign, which is the same size as the ones to the right of it, prompted a struggle with city hall that lasted eight months. Revelstoke council decided on May 22 that the sign, which has already been removed due to threat of penalty, must be redesigned.

ness name or logo, suggesting that telephone numbers are not encouraged,” they responded in a letter.

The city’s planning department expresses concerns about the telephone number in a report to council: “Having both the name and the phone number on the applicant’s sign has resulted in a somewhat squished look,” they write.

Take a look around town for telephone numbers on business signs and you’ll see them everywhere. A few blocks from the Arlington Building, the font on the telephone number at Little Caesar’s Pizza is about a foot high. It’s just one of many businesses with telephone numbers on their signs – although council heard many of those signs had been grandfathered in.

The telephone number is important for her new small business, explains Schneider. She’s often busy treating clients and can’t afford to hire a receptionist for her small, tworoom spa. Her door is often locked.

A strolling heli-skier can ring up and make an appointment if they know the telephone number. Since she was forced to remove the sign, she says business has dropped by 15 per cent.

The back-and-forth paperwork struggle started in October. The pages and pages of reports on the small sign show city staff have spent a lot of time worrying about the sign. It shows the process can be odious and resourcesapping for small businesses.

At their May 22 meeting, council was somewhat split on the issue.

Coun. Gary Starling wanted to make an exception for the sign. “We’ve got several other businesses that prominently display phone numbers,” Starling said. “I would suggest we allow this sign to stand as it was.”

But Coun. Chris Johnston said making an exception was not the way. If there are problems with the sign bylaw, the bylaw needs to be fixed.

Mayor David Raven said the sign bylaw had caused city council much

grief over the past few years. “Signs have probably been one of the most contentious issues that have come up time and time again. We’ve tried to address that,” Raven said. He pointed to a change a few years ago that moved final approval from council to the development review committee. He also said sometimes the grief was due to businesses trying to skirt the sign bylaw. Schneider admits she put up the sign before she got final approval from the city, saying she wasn’t aware it was such an “intensive” process. She made the application and ordered the sign at about the same time – a mistake.

In the end, council gave Schneider’s sign the thumbs down. A move by Coun. Starling to let it stay didn’t get a seconder. But Coun. Chris Johnston did introduce a new motion to review the sign bylaw overall, which was passed by council.

Schneider shook her head as council delivered the verdict. “I’m learning as I go, and will gracefully

accept defeat and make new signs, but I think it’s a shame that the whole process for small business owners is so difficult and time consuming,” Schneider told the Times Review. “It definitely puts a damper on the entrepreneurial spirit that the city should be embracing and encouraging.”

She feels what is lacking in the process is a spirit of cooperation. “I would like to express concern that the development review committee has total control over what information is deemed acceptable on a sign,” she said. “It seems to me that at least some of this should rest in the hands of the small business owner. The [committee] is not a marketing expert and should not be playing that role. I am concerned that the bylaw seems to be applied on a case-by-case basis, as there are many signs in various formats with phone numbers on them, and they are both new and old signs.”

So, what’s next for Schneider?

She took down the sign to avoid a penalty. She’ll start again at square one, issuing a new application for another sign. “I’ve been in business for a year and I still don’t have a sign up – this has been frustrating and has definitely impacted business,” she added.

Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce executive director Judy Goodman said she has heard of issues with the sign approval process during her short time in the position over the past month. She said the chamber is willing to work with members on the issue and their sign application, but she added that because she’s only been here for a short time, she doesn’t have much experience with the issue. She did say the chamber’s application for a new sign on their new tourist information centre went smoothly.

n May 22, Revelstoke had a historic moment in politics when a group of about 30 individuals met with their Member of Parliament, David Wilks, to discuss the budget implementation bill. The meeting was organised by myself and I opened it up to individuals that might be concerned about Bill C-38 (we were not affiliated with any political party).

You may have heard about this meeting in the news. Alex Cooper at Revelstoke Times Review broke the story. It hit national news and was reported in the CBC, Globe and Mail, Global, The Star, along with many others. The meeting was filmed by one of the attendants and posted on you tube, just search David Wilks.

The Budget Implementation Bill (Bill C-38) contains more matters unrelated to the bud-

get than matter related to the budget. It attempts to sneak in changes to almost 70 pieces of legislation on everything from environmental protection to job standards, without debate and without citizens taking notice.

Politicians sometimes try to sneak in controversial changes to laws in the budget bill in hopes it will go unnoticed and un-debated. The problem is a budget bill is only debated and studied by a financial committee. These individuals are experts when it comes to a budget but not in the environment, natural resources, job standards, health care or democratic accountability. It’s akin to asking your financial adviser to approve your health plan from your doctor, your plans for your garden, your meals, or your house decorations.

During the meeting Mr. Wilks acknowledged our concerns and admitted parts of the bill were of concern to him and other conservative MPs as well. However, he explained he could not vote against the bill, that he would be forced by the Conservative Party to vote with the bill, regardless of how his constituents felt. This was met with a lot of frustration; an MP should be allowed to stand up against his party and represent his constituents – it is the right thing to do.

Mr. Wilks offered that what he could do was present our petition against Bill C-38 in the House of Commons and take our particular concerns to the ministers responsible. He asked us to provide him with answers to the problems we had pointed out. We told him we wanted the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE) restored, no Species at Risk Act exemptions for energy projects, longer environmental reviews (more than the budgeted two years), no changes to the Fisheries Act, restoration of funding to the CBC, and a ban on oil tankers on the coast of B.C. We had much more advice on how to improve Bill C-38 but unfortunately we were limited in time.

We left the meeting somewhat satisfied, Mr. Wilks had been nice enough to meet with us, address our concerns, and agreed to bring our suggestions to Ottawa.

The video clips of the meeting show Mr. Wilks being candid and honest with us about how government works, his concern over the bill, and his keen interest in listening to his constituents and offering some form of having their views expressed in parliament.

Within less than 24 hours

of the meeting Mr. Wilks was forced to state on his website that he fully supported the bill and felt it was good for the Kootenay–Columbia region. The lines were most obviously fed to him from the Prime Minister’s Office.

Because Mr. Wilks was honest, candid, listened to his constituent, and did not fully support the Budget Implementation Bill he was reprimanded. I do not wish to be in Mr. Wilks’ shoes today. Mr. Wilks was only attempting to do the minimum any good MP should do for members of their riding.

It looks to me like the Conservative Party of Canada works such that you are either with them 100 per cent or else you will suffer – there is no room for individuals and the concerns of small communities like Revelstoke. I feel Mr. Wilks only listened to his conscience during his meeting with us. I think deep down inside he knows Bill C-38 is a bad deal for Canadians and in particular for our community.

I hope he will only continue to listen to his conscience. *** Meghan is currently studying wildlife ecology and was one of the organisers behind the meeting with our MP David Wilks on May 22.

Criticism for MP David Wilks and Bill C-38

ment Hill and if you cannot be heard then I hope you do the right thing and separate yourself from Prime Minister Harper.

Many people in British Columbia stand behind you and there are many other Members of Parliament who will also stand with you if you make a stand against such an undemocratic situation. I implore you to allow your conscience to be voiced.

Sarah Newton, Revelstoke

Kootenay–Columbia MP’s morning visit with constituents, omnibus Bill C-38 riles critics Editor, I have long been in opposition to the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline. This pipeline would carry bitumen and condensate, which is a chemical dilutent, between the Alberta Tar Sands and Kitimat, on B.C.’s northwest coast. These substances would be transported to and from Kitimat on supertankers, through some of the most dangerous coastal waters on earth. B.C., a mere doormat for this project, would shoulder all of the risk and realize virtually no benefit.

Why, you might ask, should Revelstoke residents care about this proposed pipeline? I was recently asked this question by our MP, David Wilks, who wanted to know how I thought the pipeline would affect us directly. If the detriment to our economy, the great potential for ecological disaster, or the increase in greenhouse gas production aren’t sufficient cause for conern, then I would argue that with Bill C-38, the Budget Implementation Bill which is currently before the House and Senate, the Conservative Government just made the pipeline very personal for most everyone in Canada, including Revelstoke. This bill, ostensibly about budget implementation, is loaded full of amendments to environmental laws; it waters down the Federal Fisheries Act and the Environmental Assessment Act, exempts pipelines and other energy projects from conditions under the Species at Risk Act and the Navigable Waters act, limits environmental assessments under the National Energy Board to two years, and astonishingly, gives Cabinet the power to override any environmental assessment decision it sees

fit, retroactive to 2010. The list goes on.

These changes are an undemocratic and desperate attempt to pave the way for the Enbridge Pipeline, and as a consequence, we will have to live with this watered down legislation and hope that somehow we can find the teeth to protect our own natural habitat and resources when the time next comes. First though, we have to work to defeat, split, or make drastic changes to Bill C-38. If people have solutions to problems they see in this Bill, they should please send them to our MP, David Wilks. He wants to hear them. Better yet, they should ask him to vote against it.

Jennifer Greenwood, Revelstoke

What happened in the 24 hours between the time he told his voters he would be prepared to vote against the bill and now, when he is completely in support of every measure?

The voters of Kootenay–Columbia deserve better. They deserve an MP who has the courage of his convictions and will represent the voters who elected him.

The Liberal Party will be voting against Harper’s budget bill – it hurts seniors and does nothing to get Canadians working again. I call on Mr. Wilks to join us and stand up to Mr. Harper.

Scott Brison, MP Liberal Party of Canada Finance Critic

VOTERS DESERVE BETTER FROM MR. WILKS

AN OPEN LETTER TO MP DAVID WILKS

Editor, I read with great interest Conservative MP David Wilks’ recent comments to his constituents that he would “stand up and say the Harper government should get rid of [their budget bill].” Too bad he got cold feet so quickly.

It was refreshing to see a Conservative MP stand up to his own government’s budget. In it Prime Minister Harper broke his promise to seniors that he would not touch their pensions. But this budget will force people to work two more years before collecting Old Age Security and take away up to $30,000 in benefits.

Unfortunately, Mr. Wilks later issued a “clarification” saying he now supports the budget wholeheartedly.

Editor, Thank you for coming to Revelstoke and hearing the concerns of your constituents this week. The community is grateful for your honesty when you spoke about the impact of Bill C-38 and the Enbridge pipeline.

You heard and shared our concerns about both the procedural implementation and the detrimental effects (economic and environmental) of such a project and bill.

We know you have been under intense pressure to ‘tow the party line’ and retract these comments. However, it gave me hope that there is some voice of reason in our government. I hope you have the courage to represent your constituents on these important issues and stand up to what you seem to know is wrong. You are our voice on Parlia-

French school to launch in Revelstoke this fall ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

After four years of trying, Revelstoke will be getting it’s own French school starting this fall.

“It’s pretty exciting,” said Caroline Grenier, the Revelstoke parent who led the push for the school.

“It’s almost hard to believe.”

The decision was made by the Francophone School Board of British Columbia at its meeting on Saturday and announced to the Times

Review on Monday morning.

“I’m just very happy we are able to provide a francophone education within your community,” said Roger Hebert, a trustee with the school board. “I have great hopes in the school succeeding very well.

Last year at this time, the hopes of Francophone parents in Revelstoke were dashed when the school board voted against opening the school.

This year the board voted in favour; Grenier said she watched the

vote live on a webcast Saturday morning.

The school will serve 12 students from Kindergarten to grade 2. It is expected to have 40 students by 2017. It is hoped that now that the school is of-

ficial, parents that were hesitant to enrol their children will sign up.

Hebert cited Nelson as an example of a French school starting small but growing to a larger number of students.

A location for the school still needs to be decided.

Anne Cooper, the superintendent of the Revelstoke School District did not return a call for comment before press time.

Dignitaries gathered last week to mark the completion of phase three of the Revelstoke District Energy System. The event included Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks, Federation of Canadian Municipalities director and City of Nelson mayor John Dooley, City of Revelstoke mayor David Raven and Revelstoke Community Energy Corporation president Dr. Geoff Battersby. They noted the FCM’s contribution of $473,500 to the latest phase of the district energy system, which added St. Francis Catholic Church, Revelstoke City Hall, the Revelstoke Federal Building (which houses Parks Canada and Canada Post), and the Col River Manor to the energy system in 2010. Mayor David Raven thanked the FCM for their partnership: “It anticipates our commitment and the federal government’s commitment to a greener economy, greener community – something that we really needed in Revelstoke to move forward with our community goals and our official community plan.” FCM director Dooley said the funding was drawn from the Green Municipal Fund. “It’s about environmental stewardship and it’s about leaving a better environment for our children and our grandchildren.” Dooley added the FCM is committed, “to creating opportunity for communities and employment within these communities,” he said. “These projects are new, they’re innovative, they’re new ideas and they’re an opportunity for communities to learn and experience how these particular types of projects work.”

MP David Wilks said the federal government had provided a $500 million endowment through a partnership with the FCM. “There is a lot of money available – it is a matter of applying,” Wilks said, adding he looked forward to future projects.

Revelstoke Community Energy Corporation president Dr. Geoff Battersby outlined the history of the project, saying the FCM had been instrumental in helping champion this innovative work. Mayor Raven thanked Battersby and the late David Johnston for their work on the project. “Without the dedication and the leadership of those two gentlemen, I don’t think that we’d be in the position we Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review are today.”

TRAVEL ADVISORY Starting Tuesday, May 22, the Trans-Canada Highway just East of the Clanwilliam Overhead, approximately 10km West of Revelstoke, will be reduced to single lane alternating traffic.

Construction crews will be working 24 hours a day for approximately 10 days to get the highway reopened as quickly as possible.

Please be aware of the construction signage and obey the traffic control personnel at all times.

Please drive safely, and thank you for your patience.

Council OKs caribou maternity pen editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke city council unanimously agreed to be the agency that will coordinate funding for a proposed mountain caribou maternity pen project near Revelstoke.

As reported in the May 23 Times Review, a coalition of local stakeholders called the Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild group is planning to build a 10acre protected maternity pen near Lake Revelstoke. Pregnant female caribou will be put into the pen and stay there for about three months while they give birth and raise young in the pen, which will be protected from predators by a shepherd.

RCRW group representative Rob Serrouya presented the plan to city council on May 22. Serrouya is the coordinator of the Columbia Mountains Caribou Research Project, a locally-based science research group. He has been doing caribou research in the region since the ‘90s.

Serrouya said many steps have been taken to help protect mountain caribou to date.

“An enormous amount has been done,” Serrouya said, listing measures like recreation restrictions, forest harvesting restrictions, old-growth protection, moose reductions and more. “Most of what’s left of old growth forest is protected for caribou,” he added.

He said since 2003, the moose population has been reduced by 70 per cent by increased sport hunting quotas. “Both moose and wolves are way down,” he said.

Serrouya said the changes haven’t

2006 2 006 M Mercedes d CLS CLS 500 500

reversed the decline in caribou populations: “It’s stabilized the decline, but it hasn’t been enough to create recovery.”

Local herds have declined from about 400 in number 15 years ago to about 130 now.

He said maternal penning was a logical next step.

Serrouya said the cooperation on the maternal penning project stands in contrast to other often highly-controversial mountain caribou recovery initiatives.

“I’ve been land-use planning for a long time, with people yelling at each other ... often very contentious meetings,” Serrouya said. “The RCRW, we have members from motorized recreation, environmental groups, scientists – basically a broad gamut in the community is there. It’s basically a love-in, for lack of a better word.”

He said the city was selected to be the funding applicant for the project because they are seen as a neutral party, and could qualify for not-for-profit funding. The city is not providing funding; they’re going to help RCRW apply for and manage funds for the project.

In response to questions from council, Serrouya said the pen was not expected to be detrimental to the caribou placed inside. He said predation is the cause of mountain caribou decline.

“They’re dying healthy,” he said.

“They’re not picking out the weak and the infirm. It’s healthy animals that are being taken.”

In an update, Serrouya said the group has no funding now but hopes to build the pen in the fall. However, he said it now appeared too late to start penning caribou for the spring of 2013.

NCES’ Revel-Pedal to cap off Bike to Work Week RECORD 53 TEAMS SIGNED UP FOR 4TH ANNUAL REVELSTOKE BIKE TO WORK WEEK ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The North Columbia Environmental Society is hosting an event on Saturday that celebrates sustainable transportation in Revelstoke.

Revel-Pedal is a “celebration of self-propelled folk,” including cyclists, skateboarders, roller blades/ skates and other non-motorized transportation people might us.

The event will begin with a scavenger hunt starting from Grizzly Plaza at 1:30 p.m. There will be two courses, said organizer Hailey Ross, one short one and one longer.

The scavenger hunt will end at the Village Idiot, where various local groups will have displays set up.

Ross said to expect presentations from the skateboarding association,

cycling association, roller derby and Bike to Work Week.

The City of Revelstoke will also have displays set up showcasing the city’s active transportation plan and the proposed bike routes.

There will also be several short films shown. “The idea is to gather, have a good time but also to have people there to get some public input on the city’s active transportation plan,” Ross said.

There is also talk of a critical mass ride starting from the Village Idiot following the day’s events.

The event will cap off Bike to Work Week, which runs until Sunday, June 3. This year, 53 teams are signed up, the most ever in the four years the event has taken place in Revelstoke.

Ernie Larson lifts 170 pounds at Trans-Canada Fitness.

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Ernie Larson keeps going really, really strong at age 80 ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

For most people, being able to lift double your weight isn’t too impressive. That is, unless you’re 80, in which case it’s downright amazing.

Ernie Larson is capable of doing just that – I watched him as he lifted 170 pounds five times on an incline press, and that was despite some medical issues and a bad shoulder.

“I’m not lifting very heavy now,” he told me.

Larson was born and raised in Revelstoke. He worked as a logger and it was while living on a logging camp north of town that he took up weight training. One of his co-workers brought a set to the camp with him, so he made use of it. “I used to bench press 225 pounds, that’s all the weight we had,” he said.

He bought his own weight set for home and hasn’t look back. He took part in logger sports, travelling around the circuit and winning the occasional event. He still takes part in Timber Day in Revelstoke,

competing in the axe throw and Jack-and-Jill cross cut with his daughter Tammy.

Even after he stopped working as a logger, he kept up his regime.

While working long days on the ferry, he would do dips on the stairways to stay in shape.

After his retirement in 1998 he started going to Trans Canada Fitness and is a fixture there. At home, he said he has some dumbbells and also uses elastics.

80-year-old weightlifters are rare. A quick Google search turned up a few others, including Merrill

Matzinger, who at the age of 95, could still do 1,500 crunches. Then there’s Israel Libshtein, who is featured on YouTube doing a partial deadlift of 200 kilograms at the age of 82.

Still, Larson’s ability is most impressive. On first sight, he doesn’t seem overly ripped, but when you watch him lift the weights, you can see his muscles flex and strain.

“I call Ernie the patriarch of the fitness centre,” said Neil Jones, the owner of Trans Canada Fitness.

“Ernie sets an example of the lifestyle, of what this is all about.”

On top the physical benefits, Larson’s weight training has the added benefit of improving his cognitive ability. A UBC study showed that older women that stay in shape through lifting weights have better cognitive functions than those that took toning classes.

For Larson, it’s simply about the exercise. He had to give up skiing and swimming due to injuries so going to the gym is his outlet for exercise.

His doctor supports his habit.

“They like the shape I’m in,” he said.

Revelstoke’s new theatre set for June 6 grand opening ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke’s new theatre is finally set to open to the public next week, with an official opening on June 6 and an open house on June 7.

George Abbott, the B.C. Minister of Education, will be in Revelstoke on Wednesday, June 6, for the official opening of the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre. That event is by invite only.

However, the next day the centre will open to the public for an Open House featuring a variety of performances. At 4, 5 and 6 p.m. there will be performances by Revelstoke Secondary School students. At 7 p.m. the Revelstoke Arts Council will provide entertainment.

The opening of the theatre was delayed when a fire destroyed the factory in Mexico where the seat cushions were being made.

The 275-theatre features a large stage, full lighting system, large backstage area, box office, and more.

Now that the theatre has opened, school board chair Alan Chell expects bookings to come in. The hope is that the space will help attract bigger name acts to Revelstoke, as well as be a place to host popular community events like dance recitals, perfomances by the high school band and more.

The theatre is being managed by a 10-person committee consisting of four representatives from the school district, four from the arts council and two city employees. They have draft-

ed a management plan for the centre and are looking at securing $20,000 in grant funding to hire a part-time manager for the theatre.

“That would be someone that markets the theatre, takes inquiries for bookings and maximizes the usage,” said Chell. “We would have the theatre advisory committee that sets the rate and the policy and we have a staff person that carries on the work.”

So far $8,000 has been received from the Schools Community Connections Program and the arts council is also seeking $12,000 from the Columbia Basin Trust.

The rates to use the theatre vary depending on the user. Independent for-proft groups will be charged $600, conferences $400 and nonprofit groups $200 plus 10 per cent of ticket sales.

There are also fees for a performing arts centre host, cleaning and technical support, however local groups that are expected to use the theatre can train people in those areas to act as volunteers.

“Our concern all along is we’re not in a situation to use K-12 dollars to subsidize the theatre,” said Chell. “We don’t have the money to hire a programmer but if there is money available through grants, that’s great.”

There are still a few outstanding issues that need to be resolved, such as how to handle food & beverage and concessions.

No one from the Arts Council was available to comment for this article.

The wrapping was still on the chairs at the new Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre that is scheduled to open to the public next week.

It’s show time Reg Gurley stands next to hie 1935 Dodge 2-door sedan, one of more than 100 hundred classic cars that will be on display at the Mountain Classic Show and Shine in downtown Revelstoke this Saturday.

Gurley acquired the vehicle in the 1990’s, but as he put it, “It’s got a history to it.”

The vehicle was used as a dirt track racer in the ‘50s and ‘60s in Squamish before it was retired and put to pasture, said Gurley. It sat in a field for a while until someone started to re-build it in the 1980s. It passed on to another man, who eventually sold it to Gurley in 1999.

It was 65 per cent complete at the time.

“I got all the bugs out of it and painted it myself,” he said. The bright yellow paint job, with the lightning strike across both sides and red grill stands out.

Gurley comes from a family of mechanics; his grandfather was the first licensed mechanic in Calgary and his father also worked in the profession.

Gurley went and worked for Parks Canada but he still acquired their vehicle knowledge.

He’s put 56,757 miles on it since he bought it.

The Mountain Classic Show and Shine takes place Saturday, June 2 in downtown Revelstoke. More than 100 cars are expected. There will a poker walk, live music and a jukebox playing classic songs courtesy the Nickelodeon Museum.

The Revelstoke Aquaducks were in Penticton this past weekend, competing in the first swim meet of the summer swimming season.

Penticton hasn’t been on the competition calendar for a couple of years as the community has been renovating its recreational centre.

The facility was in great shape for the weekend meet, and many Aquaducks had their first experience in a 10-lane pool.

“This was the first meet of

the season and although we only had about 25 swimmers attend, it was an absolute success,” said assistant coach Cynthia Pfeiffer.

“Many of our swimmers had personal best times and the meet got the kids excited to be racing again. That’s exactly what we need in preparation for the Nelson meet next weekend where we have over 40 swimmers going.

Good job Ducks!”

Revelstoke swimmers take 9 wins at Canadian Masters Contributed by Revelstoke Masters Swim Club

Eight swimmers from Revelstoke’s Masters swim club attended the 2012 Canadian Masters Swimming Championships in Kelowna from May 18-21.

The small team performed very well. The team was 12th out of 86 teams from across the country, including all teams from much larger cities. There were 510 swimmers from age 19 to 93 at the competition.

Revelstoke team members attending were Alex Szirmai, Rosemary Kelsall, Graham Gale, Josi McCulloch, Nadia Salon, Cynthia Pfeiffer, Jeff Beatty and Cam Molder.

Six swimmers came home as Canadian champions with first place in their event categories: - Cynthia Pfeiffer in 100m and 200m backstroke (18-25) - Nadia Salon in 100m butterfly (25-29) - Josi McCulloch in 100m breaststroke (40-44) - Rosemary Kelsall in 200m

Cynthia Pfeiffer racked up two provincial records in her championship finish with a time of 1:10.56

in the 100m backstroke.

Alex Szirmai also broke provincial records in the 50m butterfly at

30.5 and in the 100m individual medley at 1:08.44.

Revelstoke’s relay teams also fared well, with first place finishes in the mixed 200m freestyle relay (160-199), the mixed 400m medley relay (160-199yr) and the mixed 200m medley relay (160-199). “There was a lot of surprises,�

Revelstoke Masters head coach Jeff Beatty said. “There were a number of Canadian Championships and provincial records for Revelstoke and everyone swam as well as could be expected.�

Revelstoke Masters club president Rosemary Kelsall said she was “excited by how many people attended and that they did so well.�

She wishes to recognize the important contribution of the City of Revelstoke and the Aquatic Centre for providing an excellent training facility.

The team is able to train three times per week under coach Jeff Beatty’s supervision and during other times of the day on their own.

BC Hydro would like to notify Revelstoke residents that we plan to undertake a controlled burn of a woody debris pile located just above Revelstoke dam this spring to minimize wildďŹ re risk. The Ministry of Forests will supervise the burn scheduled to start on a day with suitable weather between the period of May 24 to June 4, 2012.

The controlled burn is expected to be complete within 24 hours. Smoke will be minimized to the extent possible through the use of air injection on site and by scheduling the burn when conditions are favourable.

BC Hydro apologizes for any inconvenience and thanks area residents and businesses for their support.

Brendan Macintosh, Melanie Bernier take wins in second race from page 15 loved 400m Lemans start that was won in a sprint by Dominic Unterberger over Kellen Viznaugh.

Although they didn’t finish on the podium, look out for these two teenagers in the future as despite their tender age they are nipping at

the heels of the fastest racers.

Brendan MacIntosh resumed where he left off last season when he won three races and was the first across the finish line. He was challenged closely by Golden local Martin Lafontaine who finished second. Ian Crosthwaite and Bart Jarmula paced each other all

race to finish third and fourth, 90seconds behind the leaders. Travis Hunt matched his fifth place finish from the first race once again riding (and running) strong on his singlespeed.

Melanie Bernier once again comfortably led the women’s field, finishing ahead of Sarah Newton

and Atsuko Knight.

Thanks again to all the sponsors including Helios Rehab, Valhalla Pure, Patagonia, and Skookum that sent many riders home with great draw prizes.

Expect an announcement shortly outlining some of the grand prizes we will be giving away at the end

of the season. The more races you take part in the better your chances of winning will be.

The series continues in two weeks with a brand new course and an enduro format to challenge the lead riders a bit more. Specifics will be on the website early this week.

THANK YOU Gizella Henyecz would like to thank Mayor Raven and Revelstoke City Council very much for the beautiful floral arrangement that they sent me for my 90th Birthday.

I would also like to thank my children and brother Jim for having a surprise birthday dinner in honour of my special day. Family came from Vancouver Island and as far East as Ontario to celebrate and included several grandchildren and great-grandchildren to make this a memorable occasion. It was wonderful to see all the family and close friends come together and celebrate with me.

Thank you so much!

The winners of the NCES’ Clean Bin Project show their months-worth of waste. The winners, Kai and Janine Boggild, accumulated a meagre one ounce of waste throughout the month. Joey Norsworthy and Eve Northmore finished second, while the NewtonLuxmoore household came in third place. Janine Boggild said they normally don’t produce much waste, but the month-long challenge presented logistical problems when eating out and going shopping.

SATELLITE INTERNET NEEDED TO BE FASTER AND MORE AFFORDABLE. NOW IT’S BOTH. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Pensions, scheduling key issues in contract negotiations from page 1 tracks to about the 7-11 and back.

The main issues at stake in negotiations are pensions and fatigue management. The union says CP Rail is looking to claw back pensions by as much as 40 per cent. The company said it has had to fund pensions to the tune of $1.9 billion over the past three years to meet its obligations.

“It’s bad for me but it’s even worse for the younger guys,” said Daley, who has been with CP for 31 years.

The company is looking to align pensions with those of CN Rail, but Daley said that union elected higher wages at the expense of pensions, while CP went the opposite route.

‘Fatigue management’ was also written on picket signs. Daley admitted he made a great wage, but said it came at the cost of family life. CP workers can’t make any commitments because they never know when they’ll be around.

“If we working, I wouldn’t know

what time I would be coming home,” he said. “We’re working unbelievably strange hours and they want us to work longer.”

The union is looking for more regular hours and the ability to schedule more days off, both Starling and Daley said.

“Once in a while you need 48 hours off to reset your clock,” said Starling.

“If you have a mishap because somebody’s fatigued, it will cost you.”

Said Starling: “The carrot has always been the wages and the pensions ... It will make it hard to keep the younger guys around without pensions in place.”

The strike has left an eerie silence in Revelstoke, with the familiar clang and screech of the trains gone. It has also benefited some local businesses that have seen a huge spike in businesses as the Rocky Mountaineer tourist train has brought busloads of tourists to Revelstoke. Normally the train doesn’t stop here but the buses have been making stops for lunch.
