Southside sewage Revelstoke Railway Days 2013 stink stirs action Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

It’s gagging strong. That’s how Southside residents described the sewer odour wafting from the sewage treatment lagoons located between Southside and the industrial park. After 15 years of complaining, they’re fed up and want something done about it. About a dozen attended an impromptu rally at the City of Revelstoke’s public works facility on Monday morning, where they met with city engineering director Mike Thomas and public works operations manager Darren Komonoski. Mom Beckie Campbell lives in the Oscar Street trailer park. She helped organize the gathering. She worries about the health of her toddler Hailey. “It’s years of frustration building up and nothing’s changing. It’s the health effects I’m worried about. My kids grew up there. I’ve got a two-year-old – she [can’t] be out at night. It’s terrible. We can’t open our windows to cool off our houses,” Campbell told Thomas and Komonoski. Others said they couldn’t hang their laundry or barbecue when the stink wells up in the summer. Many said they’d complained to city hall many times, but were essentially dismissed by city officials. In 2010/11, Campbell went door-to-door in Southside with a petition, gathering support for the cause from residents eager to affect change. She completed it and dropped it off at city hall. The response? Nothing. She didn’t get a call-back, or hear anything from city staff or city council, she said. Her efforts were dismissed. Anger and frustration were the undertone of the meeting; residents wondered why the situation couldn’t be managed better. City engineering director Mike Thomas said staff were exploring some new, improved treatment options. He said he’d done testing in the past few weeks, and had just received the results. The issue, said Thomas, is diagnosing exactly what the problem is – down to determining exactly where the smell comes from. Does it come from the organic treatment lagoon? Or is the smell coming from the head-works? Thomas said some improvements are possible, but an understanding of exactly what the problem is is critical. “It’s not going to be simple,” Thomas said. The existing system is not mechanical. It relies on biological processes to break down waste. When summer heat sets in, it affects the beneficial bacteria’s ability to process the waste effectively. Other biological processes come into play, creating hydrogen sulphide gas, which causes the smell. Even extremely minuscule concentrations of the gas cause a bad odour. Thomas said the system can’t be “ramped up” quickly to deal with smell issues when they crop up. The engineering director said the study of the system would explore many treatment options, including treatment system tweaks or pre-treatment methods. For example, oil and fat dumped down the drain can cause significant smell issues. Thomas said ramping up inspections of fat-traps at restaurants

Revelstoke Railway Museum volunteer James Walford gives the velocipede a whirl at Railway Days on Saturday. He’s assisted by volunteer Dean Handley. Originally a tripod, a fourth wheel was added for stability at some point, but seemed to cause more problems than it solved. The railroaders derailed the thing a few times before working out the kinks and getting it ready for families to take it for a short, downhill ride. See page 10 for more.

could be an option. Another area of study is the effects of allowing sani-dump waste into the system. Residents questioned whether allowing more effluent from the Revelstoke Mountain Resort area into the system was a contrib-

uting factor. Both Thomas and Komonoski said it wasn’t. Thomas again emphasized a correct diagnosis is key. “I want to make sure it is going to work before we go out and spend taxpayers’ dollars,” he told the crowd. “Hopefully we can get something in by this time next year.” Residents also discussed next steps. The temporary treatment will require a budget allocation – the cost has yet to be determined. That spending will require political support. The protesters talked of taking the issue to a city council meeting, although they also said their phone calls, petitions and letters had been brushed off in the past. Campbell wondered why the mayor and council hadn’t tackled the problem. “How can you live in a town this small and not know there’s an issue?” she asked. Currently, the sewage lagoon drains into the Illecillewaet River. A new outfall at the Columbia River has been planned for years, but is held up due to cost. However, Thomas said the new outfall will not improve the smell situation at the lagoon. Installing a “mechanical” lagoon is another option – but an extremely expensive one. Thomas said the cost is in the tens of millions. “Why not?” quipped one resident. “Our taxes are high enough!” Thomas and Komonoski said they heard about the gathering through social media, and took the initiative to attend. No city councillors showed up for the meeting.

Volunteers get down to the foundation in Habitat for Humanity project Contributed

Work is progressing pretty much on schedule for the Habitat for Humanity project to reconstruct a Home for the Hunts – a pilot project with the Revelstoke Community Housing Society. Demolition was completed on Saturday, Aug. 10 after volunteers spent more than a day jackhammering out stairs and other concrete that is not part of the new plan. The team now turns to reconstructing a modest, wheelchair accessible home for the Hunt family to accommodate Pauline’s needs as the symptoms of ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease advance. “Many people were surprised to see that we demolished the house down to the foundation,” said project team leader Cindy Pearce. “The

CSRD lays out rules for marijuana grow ops City expenses Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Want to start up a legal grow op near Revelstoke in the future? You’ll need a lot of land and constant security should a regional district zoning bylaw pass as is. The Columbia Shuswap Regional District added a new zoning designation for ‘Licensed Medical Marihuana Production Facilities’ to the latest version of the Area B zoning bylaw. The legislation has come about after the federal government introduced new rules governing the production of medicinal marijuana. Under the new rules, users will no longer be able to grow their own product and only growers licensed by Health Canada will be able to sell medicinal pot. “Without a zone in place, we wouldn’t know where they would be,” said Loni Parker, the director for Area B. The bylaw outlines the conditions that must be met to zone a property for medical marijuana production: — It must be licensed by Health Canada — It must be contained in a building with 24-hour security — It is designed to keep the impact on the environment, and exposure and disturbance to humans to a minimum — It must be on a parcel of land at least 30 hectares (74 acres) — Buildings on the land must

be at least 50 metres from parcel borders — They are only permitted on land zoned Special Industrial or that is within the Agricultural Land Reserve. The Special Industrial zoning designation has been added to the bylaw specifically for medical marijuana facilities. An OCP amendment and zoning bylaw amendment would be required before developing any facility. Area B is the first region of the CSRD to have a medical marijuana zone placed into the zoning bylaw. Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks attended a CSRD meeting in June to talk about the new regulations. Leslie Johnson, the head of the Eagle Valley Medical Marijuana Society, said the rules will make it so only big producers can manufacture medicinal marijuana. “It kind of isolates it a little bit more who can do it,” he told the Times Review. Only people or businesses with the wherewithal to invest in the land and facilities required will be able to run a grow-op, unlike the current situation where anyone with a prescription can grow their own product at home. The bylaw passed second reading at the CSRD’s monthly meeting on Aug. 15. Both Johnson and Parker said they have not heard of anyone interested in opening a legal

grow-op in the area. Johnson said marijuana could very well be legalized, or at least decriminalized in the near future. A referendum initiative has been started in B.C. to decriminalize marijuana. In other changes to the bylaw, an Outdoor Recreation zone was added to permit the move of the Revelstoke Rod and Gun club shooting range to a new location at the end of Westside Road. The CSRD has also added conditions to Shelter Bay devel-

opment that would require the development of amenities. Open houses on the bylaw are scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 29, in Trout Lake from 12–2 p.m. and in Revelstoke from 7–9 p.m. Planning staff will give a presentation on the bylaw at the start of each open house. The bylaw will now be sent out to senior levels of government for referral. It is possible elements of the bylaw could be changed based on their feedback.

In a report to the City of Revelstoke finance committee, city finance director Graham Inglis notes the city’s general operating expenditures have jumped by 49 per cent between 2000 to 2012. The increase includes general operating expenditures as well as water and sewer operating costs, but excludes many thirdparty funded services and projects. The numbers were adjusted to inflation. In a June finance committee meeting, Inglis said the analysis was designed to show “real expenditure growth” in the city. While city expenditures increased over the past dozen years, so did the property taxpayers’ slice of the tax pie. Back in 2000, residential taxes accounted for 23.6 per cent of funding for general and operating capital expenditures, while business taxes contributed 15.8 per cent. Together, they totalled 39.4 per cent of the pie. In a review of 2012 city financial results, Inglis said residential and business taxpayers now combine to cover 52.3 per cent of the pie (a 12.9 per cent increase). Residential taxpayers now cover 30.1 per cent (a 6.5 per cent increase), while business property taxes fund 22.3 per cent (a 6.5 per cent increase). The changes highlight a doublewhammy; even when inflation is factored in, city expenses continue to grow, and property owners are being asked to cover more and more of the increases.

Three seriously injured in Trans-Canada head-on collision Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Three people were seriously injured in a head-on collision between two pickup trucks on the Trans-Canada Highway east of Rogers Pass on Saturday, Aug. 17. The incident happened just east of the Tupper Timber snowshed, sometime around 10 a.m.

RCMP Sgt. Mike Pears of the Trans-Canada East Traffic Services said the crash involved two pickup trucks. Witnesses told police the driver of an eastbound pickup lost control, crossed over into the westbound lanes and struck an oncoming pickup. The three injured in the crash were all Calgary-area residents. Two were transported to a Calgary

hospital, while the third is being treated at a Kelowna hospital. While the investigation into the incident continues, RCMP are calling the head-on collision preventable. In a statement, police alluded to problematic driving, noting the posted speed limit at the location of the crash was 70 km/h. “The RCMP wish to remind the

travelling public that traffic volumes are very heavy during this time of year and it’s important to leave yourself extra time to get to your destination,” Sgt. Pears said in a statement. “These types of collisions are preventable; this is an unnecessary tragedy.” Pears also appealed for patience from the travelling public, saying investigators work to get the road

open as soon as possible. The RCMP are also asking any witnesses to contact Cpl. Jeff Watson of the Trans-Canada East Traffic Services at 250-344-2221. The collision closed the TransCanada Highway for over six hours on a busy summer Saturday; traffic through the section was slowed for many hours after that as the backlog of traffic cleared.

Local builder launches campaign to help High River Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Greg Hoffart grew up in High River. In 1995, his family lost its farm to flooding there. He still has friends and family there, so when the flooding hit, he returned home to help with the re-build. "There are residents who are falling through the cracks," he told me over the phone last week. "The cloud of bureaucracy and the policies written by insurnce companies have created loopholes where people are not receiving any funding. They're siting outside their homes. They've got nowhere to live. They're living in a makeshift out of town where they're left in limbo or financial purgatory hoping someone comes through with a miracle and gives them money." Hoffart is the owner of Tree Construction. A carpenter by trade, he looks to build homes that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. In Revelstoke, Tree Construction's most recognizable projects are the eco-homes on Eighth Street in Southside. In High River, after meeting with people unable to rebuild their homes, he has launched the Sustainable River, a crowd-funding campaign that aims to raise money through online donations. "With the hopes we can amass a large following of like-minded individuals that would like to see a town rebuilt sustainably and to come up with some solutions to mitigate against floods rather than continually fix and repair all the cosmetics," he said. He has worked with Jean-Marc Laflamme, a local social-media

marketing expert, to launch a website and a page on the website FundRazr. Still in its infancy, the campaign has raised $750 of an initial goal of $250,000. High River was the community most impacted by the June floods that devastated Alberta. All 13,000 of the town's residents were evacuated after the Highwood River flooded and it remained off-limits

for weeks. Now, people are looking to rebuild, using insurance money or government assistance – both of which are slow in coming. The website includes stories from residents waiting for funding so they can start rebuilding their homes. Hoffart says that the longer money takes to come in, the more expensive it will be to rebuild people's homes.

"As they're rotting, the costs to fix, repair and replace become so much more," he said. "The compensation that would be provided by an insurance company isn't even close to the amount people are actually going to need to get back into their homes." Hoffart wants to rebuild people's homes in a sustainable manner. Mostly, that means making them

able to withstand serious flooding. That could mean adding extra water proofing to the exterior of a home, or installing self-priming pumps that would pump out water if the water inside the home reaches a certain level. He brought up the idea of passive survivability, which means to build a home so that it can survive in extreme events for two weeks without anyone being there. "There's no perfect fix. It's on a case to case basis," he said. "People who got groundwater need a different solution than people flooded from overland water." Hoffart said sustainable building was a passion of his and he plans on attending Boston Architectural College to received a Masters degree in sustainable design. "It's a passion of my own to encourage people to do the right thing when it comes time to fixing and repairing their homes," he said. The Sustainable River campaign is just beginning. The $250,000 fundraising goal is just a start, Hoffart said. He said the website is being developed to include things like a cost calculator, where people can find out how much work costs. He said they will also show what work is being done and what work is in store so people know where the money is being spent. "People can go in, look and see where the funds are going and we can have success stories as progress moves forward," he said.

Engineer: rail safety always open for debate Role of Transport Canada, ongoing cuts at CP Rail, repeal of local anti-fatigue measures should all be on the table in ongoing rail safety discussions Editor, In response to the Aug. 14 letter to the editor from Kevin Hrysak, CP Public Affairs, I would like to share my view of rail safety in Canada. Congratulations to Rob Buchanan for touching on this subject with his always entertaining cartoon. This is what good satire does, it sparks debate. Rail safety is on the highlight reel right now due to the tragic accident and horrific loss of life in Quebec. Many years ago a tragic accident in Hinton, Alberta sparked a similar debate and investigation which resulted in many operational changes on both major railways in Canada. In the Hinton, Alberta accident, it was discovered that employee fatigue was the most significant factor that caused this event to occur. It is unclear at this point what specific causes contributed to the Quebec tragedy. I would suggest that again, fatigue played a part in this. The investigation of this could take months or even years. Mr. Hrysak suggests in his letter to the editor that employees are pleased with the safety and operation of CP Rail under the guidance of Hunter Harrison. A previous news article in this paper would seem to suggest otherwise. I as well would opinion that the safety on the

railways is not being enhanced under Mr Harrison’s leadership. It is no secret that Hunter Harrison has taken steps to cut the number of employees to the bone. As well he has clearly made attempts to undermine and eliminate local rules, many which have been in place for years. Many of these “rules” were put in place to mitigate and improve fatigue management of employees specifically in the running trades. One must keep in mind that running trade employees have no specific days off and are required to work at all hours. Under Mr. Harrison, engineers and conductors are now working longer hours with less time off. As well there has been a sharp increase in the amount of time they are required to sit at the away-from-home terminal waiting for a return trip. To suggest that this is leading to a safer operation is a fantasy at best. In reality most employees now operate with the fear of dismissal if they miss work or delay a train for any reason. Once, near the end of my career, I found myself in a position where I felt I could not take a call to work and operate safely as I had been unable to obtain proper sleep. I did what I felt was the responsible thing and did not go to work.

The result was I was investigated, and then disciplined by the company. It took a call to Transport Canada, and investigation of this event to get the corporation to back off and clear my record. This is the reality of what is actually happening under the guidance of the new CP management. Transport Canada, and their role in the Quebec accident should also be put under the microscope. Transport Canada allowed this company to operate with a one-man crew. Was this a factor in this accident? I would suggest it was. This was simply again a cost-saving measure and was not motivated by safety. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) have now formed a committee to look at rail safety in Canada. Many communities, Revelstoke included, have rail systems running through them and are on edge after seeing the Quebec tragedy unfold. FCM, through this process has also said they have concern about the role of Transport Canada. Is Transport Canada doing a good job enforcing and developing safety legislation? It is my opinion that they are not fulfilling this mandate. In the aftermath of the accident in Hinton, Alberta, the government of the time forced the railways to adopt sweeping

changes to the work/rest rules for running trades employees. Sadly, it has not gone far enough, or been effective in mitigating fatigue of employees. To be fair, the union and employees need to share in this shortfall as well. There is always a resistance to change. Prior to Mr. Harrison coming to CP Rail, the union and company looked at going to a different model for running trades employees. This gained little traction and in most cases was not even tried. There are many questions that will need to be answered about this tragic accident in Quebec. Sadly, we have seen this before. Just like the Hinton, Alberta accident, time will heal the wound. Will it effect change? I say, probably not. Will the FCM be able to push hard enough to get Transport Canada to mount a charge on enforcement? Likely not. As Mr. Hrysak suggests, Revelstoke and CP Rail have a deeply rooted history. Once again, the safety of the rail operations in Canada is now, and should always be open to debate. As well, as is always the case, there are many different opinions and views on this. Gary Starling, Retired engineer Revelstoke

Baby Neve Beisel passes away Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Baby Neve Beisel passed away in her sleep on Thursday, Aug. 8. Neve spent most of her short life in the hospital as she experienced difficulties breathing and eating. She had been at home in Revelstoke for five days when she passed away. She was only four months and 12 days old.

The community rallied to support her and her family as they spent months traveling between Revelstoke and Vancouver Children's Hospital. A fundraiser held last month raised $8,500 for the family. On Friday, Aug. 16, the family, including her two-year-old brother Ford, drove to the top of Revelstoke Mountain Resort and hiked to the sub-peak of Mount Mackenzie, where they scattered

Neve’s ashes. The emotional moment was shown in a video at a memorial reception at the RMR day lodge that evening that was attended by many friends and family of the Beisel-Kendrick family. A photo display featuring pictures of Neve was set up alongside a donation box for Trees for Tots. The family has asked people to make donations to the charity in lieu of flowers.

Revelstoke needs tourism initiative Editor, An open letter to Loni Parker, CSRD Area B director. Although we have worked together, each other and live in the same area I’d like to introduce myself again. My name is Karen Powers, I have lived in Revelstoke all my life and built my home on the Begbie Bench 23 years ago. I own and operate Conversations, a coffee shop located at 205 Mackenzie Avenue in downtown Revelstoke. I am writing to you over a concern I have. I understand a proposed development is before the regional district and B.C. Government for approval. The development is a year-round resort to be located at Greeley just east of Revelstoke. I would like to voice my support for this development. As a lifelong resident and a business owner, I see this as an asset

l e tt e r s to both the city of Revelstoke and Area B of the regional district. The taxes generated by this project can only help the region, perhaps for future development. Job opportunities increase with new development, population can go up and perhaps new business will open in the empty buildings that speckle the downtown core of Revelstoke. Empty buildings mean a downslide in our economy and people will move out. As a businessperson that depends on tourism, I benefit more to support tourism in the Revelstoke area. Without it, Revelstoke has a grim future. I understand this development will not cost the Revelstoke taxpayers and can only benefit the city as a whole. Tourist dollars will be brought in and spent at our busi-

nesses. My concern is that the city may try to hold this development up. They did not have a very good rapport with developers in the past and have actually crippled projects to the point that the developers have walked away. I understand the city has concern with water supply on Greeley Creek, but I feel this can be protected. Is this development really threatening the water to Revelstoke? Revelstoke has attracted many forms of adventure tourism. To me, this development fits in and enhances what we already have. I love Revelstoke. I choose to live here and like many people are saying it just makes sense. This is why I support this development. Karen Powers, Revelstoke

Climate change: Hotter, drier summers are our future Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

This July was the driest ever in Revelstoke. Over the course of 31 days, it rained a mere 6.2 mm. The dry weather sent the wildfire danger into the extremes for more than a week and forced logging companies into shutdown. The Southeast Fire Centre had to bring in crews from the rest of the province to help fight all the fires burning in the area – most of which were caused by lightning. It’s a sign of things to come if climate change forecasts bear out. According to the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium, the average summer temperature in Revelstoke can be expected to rise by 2.4–3.2 C by the 2041–2070 period, compared to the 1961–1990 average. A three-degree change in temperature may not seem like a lot, but it currently means the difference between very cold and very hot years. A climate change report released by the Columbia Basin Trust last year outlines what this will mean for basin residents. For one, there will be four times as many warm days – that is, days when the temperatue are above the 90th percentile for that day. Record highs will also occur more frequently and the hottest days could be almost 5 C hotter than they are now. Summers will also be drier, with precipitation throughout the basin expected to decreases by as much as 14 per cent compared to 1961– 1990 levels. Extreme weather events, in the form of severe thunderstorms, are expected to two- to three-times more common. What do these numbers mean in real-world terms? The combination of hot and dry weather with increasingly severe storms is expected to lead to a big spike in wildfire activity. Last week there were 115 lightning-caused wildfires in the Southeast Fire Centre, which covers most of the Columbia Basin. The climate change report pre-

An increase in wildfires is expected as climate change leads to hotter and drier summer. Simon Hunt/Parks Canada

dicts the situation to get much worse over the years, with the fire season lasting one to two weeks longer, and the wildfire danger rating becoming higher. Fire starts are predicted to increase by anywhere from 21 per cent to almost triple by 2100. “The hazard conditions start earlier and they go later and they get more extreme,” said consultant Cindy Pearce, who helped work on the CBT report. “In Australia they created a new category of extreme conditions.”

The category is called catastrophic and is triggered when conditions have reached extreme for several weeks. That could be necessary here, said Pearce. “After a while the extreme conditions get beyond what anyone would have thought.” Logging companies could see a significant impact from this. Already, they have to shut down operations when conditions reach extreme for an extended period. Shutdowns could become lengthier, and more costly, should wild-

fire danger ratings become more extreme in the future. The potential for fires will be taken into account when planning logging operations, said Mike Copperthwaite, the general manager of the Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation. “We’re looking at planning our operations around that a little bit by potentially doing more southfacing operations in the spring and fall,” he said. “We’ll try to concentrate in summer on north facing slopes.”

Climate change will have a big impact on water flows. The peak spring melt is expected to happen earlier, and flows will be lower in late summer and early fall. Some of this will be compensated by increased glacial melt, but that is also expected to decrease over time. The low water flows are expected to put pressure on community water systems. Water shortages in the summer, when demand is highest, will become more common, and larger reservoirs will be needed to store more water in the spring to make up for the drier conditions. “Cities are building new water storage dams so they store more water in the spring, they catch more of the runoff,” said Pearce. “They’re also doing water conservation really aggressively and seriously.” The city’s draft Greeley Creek Watershed Source Protection Plan looks at the impact of climate change. Notably, it forecasts a 13-per cent increase in annual precipitation by the 1950s, but a decreases in summer rain. “This potential change could have an effect on the quantity of water and the timing of streamflow, and there could be associated affects to water quality,” the plan states. There is a positive side to this – notably an increase in growingdegree days, or days that it is possible to grow crops. The CBT report says the growing season could increase by 18–35 days by the 2050s. “Because it gets hotter, we have more heat days so we can grow different crops,” said Pearce. “I don’t think that that’s been a huge adjustment here in Revelstoke yet but I know there are gardeners who are always experimenting with things.” Another positive is that local lakes could end being warmer, which would mean a boon for boaters and swimmers. Don’t get too excited – Lake Revelstoke is a glacier-fed reservoir who’s water is constantly being replenished, so it probably won’t warm up too much.

A wall of flame lasts only a few minutes before it burns out during a controlled burn in the Bald Hills of the Beaver Valley in Glacier National Park. The burnt trees offer no fuel for the fire, the trees will regenerate over time and the burnt area will provide a natural fire break. Simon Hunt/Parks Canada

Firefighters in Glacier National Park are letting a fire in the Beaver Valley burn as part of a wildfire management strategy. The Times Review spoke to Simon Hunt, the fire management officer for Mt. Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks, about the wildfire situation in the parks. Outside the parks, fire fighters have been battling a series of spot fires caused

Cedars Boardwalk in Mt. Revelstoke National Park. On Aug. 10, another fire was spotted in Mt. Revelstoke National Park north of the Revelstoke Dam. That evening, the fire started in the Bald Hills. On Aug. 12, a fire started on a steep slope on Ross Peak above the Trans-Canada Highway. The two fires in Mt. Revelstoke National Park were extinguished. The fire on Ross Peak is being monitored and held at its current 0.5-hectare size through helicopter

by dry weather and recent tunderstorms. The Bald Hills fire is about 75 hectares in size and is located about 20 kilometres south of the TransCanada Highway in the Beaver Valley area. It was caused by a lightning strike on Saturday, Aug. 10. The fire is one of four in the national parks in the past two weeks, all of which were caused by lightning. On Aug. 7, a small fire was spotted above the Giant

bucketing. While Parks Canada initial attack crews worked on other fires, the Bald Hills fire grew to more than 70 hectares. "We developed a strategy that would meet risk management objectives and ecological objectives for this Bald Hills fire," Hunt said. The fire is located near the eastern boundary of Glacier National Park. To prevent the fire from spreading outside the park, fire

crews conducted controlled burns of several islands of trees near the park’s boundary. “We used precision burning – hand ignition – to carefully burn out the fuels between the fire and the park boundary,” said Hunt. Two helicopters were on standby while fire crew conducted the burns, but Hunt said they were not needed and the burns “were completely successful.” The Bald Hills fire will create a natural fire break at the midpoint of the Beaver Valley, said Hunt. Last summer, a fire on the Prairie Hills area of the Beaver Valley was allowed to burn to create a break further north, near the Trans-Canada Highway. The fires help with risk management and with restoring ecological integrity in the parks. Hunt said he is now working on a long-term management strategy for the fire. “Fire is good if we can keep it inside the park,” he said. “In essence we’re creating a patchwork quilt of regeneration and natural fire breaks in the Beaver Valley.”

Wildfire situation slows down near Revelstoke The wildfire situation in the Revelstoke area abated significantly over the last week, with fire crews extinguishing numerous spot fires. “Right now in the Columbia Zone we have a total of 12 incidents,” said Jordan Turner, a fire information officer with the Southeast Fire Centre. Eleven of those 12 were caused by lightning and the other by humans. The number is less than half the 25 that were reported last week,

when a series of lightning storms hit the region, providing some spectacular lightning displays to Revelstokians. Of those 25 fires, most were small spot fires. “That was the high point of the season,” said Turner. “We had a whole lot of lightning storms and we had extra crews to come in to handle these storms.” Over the week, initial attack crews worked on extinguishing most of the small fires. they were assisted by heavy rains that came into the area over the weekend. “We haven’t been gaining many new fires but we’ve had all these crews working on these new fires and putting them out every day,” said Turner. Four of the fires that are still burning near Revelstoke are larger than five hectares. The biggest is a 22.6 hectare fire near Jumping Creek, east of Revelstoke. A 12.5-hectare fire is burning near

the Wood Arm of Kinbasket Lake, a seven-hectare fire is burning near the Illecillewaet River, and another seven-hectare fire is burning near Waitabit Creek near Golden. All of these fires were contained over the weekend. “There wasn’t a lot of activity or wind over the weekend so the crews were able to clean up a few fires and keep others contained,” said Turner. There has been 260 fires in the Southeast Fire Centre so far this year. 221 were caused by lightning and 39 by people. The largest active fire is a 170-hectare blaze burning near Duncan Lake. The danger has dropped to moderate throughout most of the southeast, with pockets of low and high in areas. The number of active fires is expected to continue to drop this week; no more storms are expected until at least the weekend, said Turner.

Eva Lake Cabin restored using old techniques and new Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Eva Lake Cabin has been restored, 85 years after the federal heritage building was constructed in 1928 as one of the first buildings in Mount Revelstoke National Park. A building restoration team from Banff National Park spent almost two weeks in the park to restore the cabin, which was experiencing a number of problems, notably the bottom logs (known as sills) were rotting. “Since the cabin sills were in contact with the ground they were rotting,” said Claire Sieber, the cultural resource expert for Mount Revelstoke National Park. “Mice were getting in, the whole cabin structure was compromised by that.” Eva Lake is named after Eva Hobbs, the Revelstoke school teacher who discovered the lake in 1909 as she explored the summit area of Mount Revelstoke. The Eva Lake Cabin is the second oldest still-existing building in Mount Revelstoke National Park after the fire lookout, which was built a year earlier in 1927. The construction of the cabin coincided with the completion of the Meadows in the Sky Parkway to the summit of Mt. Revelstoke in 1928. Prior to then, Eva Lake was a lengthy hike from town. Now, it was a seven kilometre hike from the summit. The cabin was built as a warden cabin in the backcountry of the park. It was built to assist park warden’s patrol the park in order to protect flora and fauna from poachers, and to monitor forest fires. “It was quite a popular Revelstoke community destinations,” said Sieber. “Once it was designated as a park, we needed to have a warden presence out there to protect the flora and fauna.” The cabin is now designated a federal heritage building due its historical associations, architectural value and environmental values. It was a built as a one-room cabin, constructed using fir logs found around the site. It was a common design used by Parks Canada for warden cabins in national parks in

the area until the 1950s. This isn’t the first time the cabin has been repaired. Sieber said there are signs the bottom sills were replaced in the past because of the way they were hewn – whoever did the job used a chainsaw and not a broad axe like was used in 1928. For the current repairs, the restoration crew used a mix of both tools. They first used a chainsaw to get the shape, and then a broad axe to mimic the look of the original sills. They also replaced the floor to help keep mice out, removed the windows to repair the frames, and put in new chinking – the material that fills the space between the logs. The process started by jacking up the cabin off the ground. The old sills were removed and replaced by the new ones. A new plank floor was put in place. “What they did is put a bunch of wire mesh in to keep the mice out to keep from being further deteriorated, then they placed rock work underneath the cabin to allow for air flow,” said Sieber, adding the repairs mark an improvement to the cabin. “They were able to maintain the authenticity and also add a bit of height to keep it from deteriorating in the future.” While the original cabin was built from logs harvested by the lake, the new logs were harvested from elsewhere in the park, but at the same elevation. The logs were cut and shaped using a chainsaw and broad axe in order to save time and expense. They also replaced the chinking – the filler material between the logs. The burlap sacks, horsehair and lime that was used in the past were replaced with a mix of oakum and mortar. Last Saturday, Aug. 10, the restored cabin was on display to the public for the Eva Lake pilgrimage. The cabin is open to the public as a shelter, but not for camping. “We’d like to encourage everyone to go and have a look because the cabin looks fabulous now,” said Sieber. “It smells a whole lot better,” added spokesperson Jacolyn Daniluck.

Revelstoke author publishes book on becoming “authentic leader”

Tana Heminsley (middle) in Revelstoke with her cousins Sharlain Riley (left) and Julie Cunningham. Contributed Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke native Tana Heminsley recently published her first book, Awaken your authentic leadership. The book presents a step-bystep process to cultivate ones unique style leadership based your own values and purpose. Heminsley was born and raised in Revelstoke. She worked for CP Rail and then BC Hydro and is the founder of Authentic Leadership Global, a company that aims to help people develop their leadership skills. The Times Review spoke to Heminsley about her book, which is available for sale at Grizzly Books. The interview has been edited for length. For the full transcript, visit www.revelstoketimesreview.com. You’ve been working on this book for eight years – what has the process been like for you? It took me eight years. I developed the materials and started testing it. I was working at BC Hydro at the time so I was testing it with the women’s network there. I started doing retreats up the Sunshine Coast and sharing it with coaching clients... I wrote a draft and finished it three years ago. I gave it to some friends and I’m kind of embarrassed I actually gave it to them, because it apparently wasn’t a very complete draft. I got an editor and worked with her for two years. I wrote most mornings from 4–6 a.m. and re-wrote it and re-wrote it and re-wrote it until it got to its final form. I finished last September. What made you want to write this book? I wanted to do my part in the world. I want to help others. I wanted to put down all the things that helped me in my life. I was a pretty restless kid in Revelstoke and I made a lot of destructive choices as a teen... I’ve done about 25 years or more now of personal work with coaches and therapists and counsellors to figure out me and what makes me tick. I learned so many things over the years that were helpful for me to change my life around so I put it down... For this book, it’s about being better inside of a company or an organization, and being kinder and seeing that it’s actually helpful to the bottom

line to support others to be the best they can be. We’re finding its helpful for many different kinds of people. There’s a broader vision beyond the book which is to help anyone anywhere in the world who wants to start their own personal work, wants to reconnect with who they are. For me I didn’t like myself a lot of my life. This was the process I went through to learn to like myself. I can say that now. I actually like myself and I’m a pretty good person. There’s a lot of people who I’ve met both inside of organizations and outside of organizations who don’t like themselves and who are not happy in what they’re doing. I thought if I could help people get on their path sooner than it took me, they’ll have a better quality of life for the rest of their life. That would be a way I could do my part. What do you mean by authentic leadership? I take a really broad view of what a leader is and some people could be daunted by that. A leader for me is anybody who steps up and influences others and wants to do their part to make the world a better place, in whatever small way that looks or big way that looks. An authentic leader, they do that with an internal clarity about their values and what is the right thing to do at each moment. They have an ethical intent when they do it. They’re able to override the unhealthy aspects of their ego or personality to do the right thing in the moment. If you’ve been in a meeting at times and you see the conversations deteriorating... Egos are getting in the way and people are getting angry, and the original intent of the meeting is not even clear anymore. What we do is we help people imagine what that same meeting would be like if you and I were both aware of what our healthy patterns are and our unhealthy patterns are. If in that moment I’m able to override my unhealthy judgements and assumptions and to choose the right thing... To do the right thing for me, the right thing for that group of people and my community. You can imagine how different the experience of that interaction and conversation

would be for the people. What are some of the steps to developing as an authentic leader? The first step is to know that we have this whole external experience that’s going on as we’re living each day. We have emotions, we have thoughts, we have sensations or intuitions. We talk about three centres of intelligence - not just our heads for thinking, it’s also our hearts, or emotions; and then our guts, or intuition. If we can start to realize that we have all of this happening and if I learn to learn about it and learn to manage it in the moment, then I can have a different choice in how I experience the world and how I behave in the world. For example, if you’re driving and it was back to back traffic and you’re stuck in your car in a snow storm. You can be frustrated, you can be angry. You can be in a really bad mood or in that same moment, if I know I’ve been triggered, if in that moment I can choose to practice patience, I can choose to practice empathy for the people around me who are also stuck in the snow storm, and I can choose to take a moment and just relax and enjoy it and step outside the car and enjoy the beautiful snow as it falls. I can completely change the way I experience that situation. A big part is that we have a choice in every moment in how we experience the world and how we behave. The first thing is to know is that all of that is going on and

if I learn about it I can have more choice. How do you take that and apply it to leadership? I’ve tried to make the book really practical and applicable. There are action worksheets in it and there’s a process that I’ve outlined – I call it a personal planning process. It’s a process you can use once in your life or you can use it every few months or you can use it if you have a change in life... You can step back and complete this personal planning system. There are nine steps to it. It’s things like discovering your values, what your higher purpose is, what you’re meant to be doing in the world to contribute. It’s the same process anyone can use anywhere in the world. It doesn’t have to be an organizational leader... There are two things that differentiate this system from other goal-setting systems. The first is that we have people start by remembering who they are when they are at their best, or what we call their authentic self... One of the most unhelpful things is the inner critic, where there’s a negative voice that plays over and over in our heads. There’s a critical voice that keeps us from being our true selves, from being effective as a leader. The more critical we are of ourselves, the more critical we can be of others as well. We start by having people remember who they are when

they’re at their best. They remember they are a good person and there are things they do like about themselves. When they go into the next steps – values and purpose and what their vision is for their life, then they have a different perspective than if they go into it with limitations of what they know about themselves, or their ego or personality. The second difference is that we talk about this inner development plan and that by learning about thoughts and emotions and temptations or intuitions we can have more choices. We put a plan in place to have people identify what are the unhelpful aspects in who I am, that I can learn to let go and shift, and how that will help me be a better person or better leader. The description of your book makes it sound like a book about developing leadership abilities, but interviewing you, it sounds like its more about personal discovery. Are you saying that if you learn you’re authentic self, you’ll become a better leader? That’s exactly it. We have a much broader vision than just an organization or a corporate audience. The first book is written for an organizational leader, but I have a bunch of people that are not in companies and they’re reading it and it’s still applicable. It’s about starting your personal journey. Find out more at Heminsley’s website, leadauthentic.com.

East Van-based quartet needs your help to distill their eclectic musical talents into essential Maria for their upcoming album AARON ORLANDO

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

What is Maria in the Shower up to on their latest mini-tours? It was on the tip of our tongues. Product testing? No. Product development? No. Vocalist, trumpeter and accordionist Jack Garton chomped thoughtfully on a Nomad burger while we sat around a bench in Farwell Park on an overcast Sunday afternoon. “Focus group!” he recalled. Dressed in a los muertos skull T-shirt, scuffed vintage leather flats, black jeans

brown hair, Garton doesn’t fit the image of a marketingfocused musician. He refines the ‘focus group’ concept for me. He means the tour’s about developing their upcoming album by creating the music with input and reaction from the audience: “Part of the message of the show is to use music to have a way of saying here we are all together and life is crazy and we all have difficult things that we deal with, but we’re here to revel together and enjoy life for this period of time in the same space,” Garton explains. Maria in the Shower’s debut Revelstoke show will be a showcase preview of the band’s new songs, which they’re refining for their upcoming makeor-break album, the first since 2011’s Hidden Sayings of Maria in the Shower. The East Van-based quartet’s music is usually described with a mounding mouthful of adjectives (samba, rockabilly, folk,

aret, reggae, Cuban, swing – eclectic). Garton and bandmate Todd Biffard (percussion, vocals) explain as they’re approaching their 30s, with several children amongst them, now’s the time to consolidate Maria’s artistic vision. They’ve eschewed commitments to labels and are slowly digesting their musical vision into a distinct, defining project. The quartet also includes Invermere natives Martin Reisle and Brendon Hartley (who weren’t in the band van when the band swung through Revelstoke on Sunday). All of the musicians have diverse musical backgrounds; each brought unique skills to the band that contributed to their sprawling, genre-hopping sound. Their new recording effort will be an effort to cull it back to essential Maria. “We all came from different places musically, so we’re

George Clooney, Hugh Laurie filming in region Black Press

The Okanagan Film Commission has confirmed that Walt Disney Pictures will begin filming Tomorrowland in the Enderby, Grindrod and Armstrong areas Monday. The film, which stars George Clooney and Hugh Laurie, will be shot off and on locally until mid-September. “Having a film, cast and crew of this calibre coming to the Okanagan to shoot is a highlight in the history of filming in the Okanagan,” said Jon Summerland, with the Okanagan Film Commission.

“We will definitely see an increase in popularity for filming in the Okanagan after the release of this film on Dec. 12, 2014. Being in the company of as many Oscar-winning filmmakers and actors is also a highlight in my career so far.” The production was becoming the worst kept secret in the region, as people were making social media comments about sighting the celebrities. “I know a bunch of guys are staying at Fortune’s Landing and they are coming in here for breakfast,” said Greg McCune, with Sutherland’s Bakery in Enderby.

“They were building sets early and picking stuff up at the hardware store.” There have also been reports of crew members stopping at the Riverfront Pub in Grindrod. Much of the action will apparently focus in a corn field. The publicist for Tomorrowland could not be reached for comment. Enderby’s business leaders were also kept in the dark. “We have no official word of anything,” said Corinne Peard, Enderby Chamber of Commerce general manager. But even the speculation is raising the media profile of

Enderby, Armstrong and Grindrod. “We’re getting a lot of attention right now,” said Peard. McCune believes a big-budget film will have a number of long-term benefits for the community, particularly by increasing the region’s profile. “As they get the filming going, it will be really exciting,” said McCune, who is an Enderby councillor. Parts of Tomorrowland are also being filmed in Vancouver and the movie is expected to be released in December 2014.

B.C.’s Powerex to pay Californians $750 million Bennett says Hydro deal to settle claims dodges bigger penalty Jeff Nagel Black Press

BC Hydro’s electricity export arm has agreed to pay Californians $750 million to settle accusations it overcharged during the state’s energy crisis of 2000-01 and avoid the risk of a much higher courtordered penalty. Energy Minister Bill Bennett said Friday the settlement by Powerex won’t drive up electricity rates in B.C., although part of the payment will be recouped from a five per cent rate rider that already applies to Hydro customers. “This was an extremely difficult decision to come to but a very nec-

essary decision to protect British Columbia taxpayers from an unpredictable result in the U.S. court system,” Bennett said. He maintains BC Hydro did nothing wrong in the years when other power sellers did manipulate energy prices to California amid rolling blackouts, triggering lawsuits for refunds from dozens of sellers, including Powerex. But he says fighting on could have been much more expensive, because U.S. regulators already partly ruled against the targeted utilities in a blanket judgment. Powerex faced a possible $3.2-billion penalty if it lost, he said, and that would have come

news after years of fighting in U.S. courts, stacking up $125 million a year in interest and a projected legal bill of $50 million. Bennett said he’s “not happy” but noted the payout works out to 12 cents on the dollar of what Hydro may have paid out. “We could duke this out,” he said, adding it would be a “lifetime’s work” for the lawyers involved and a huge risk to B.C. taxpayers. “It’s actually irresponsible to not settle this with the opportunity we’ve got.” Most of the cost of the payout consists of wiping out a $475-million debt California owes Powerex, plus interest, or else has already been carved out of Powerex profits. A remaining $100 million that

must be found will come via the rate rider and will be overseen by the B.C. Utilities Commission, Bennett said. NDP energy critic John Horgan called it a “complete capitulation” when B.C. had a “strong hand” as a result of a string of U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) rulings that had largely absolved Powerex of unfairly exploiting the energy crisis. And he said it’s “absolute lunacy” for Bennett to claim the large payout won’t contribute to higher BC Hydro rates in the coming years and possibly cut into government dividends from Hydro at taxpayers’ expense. “The only place that can come from is ratepayers,” Horgan said. The NDP critic backed former energy minister Rich Coleman in February when the province was determined to fight on.

Horgan said a reasonable settlement would have been to erase the amounts owed by California but not pay the $275 million in additional cash. He also dismissed suggestions from Powerex CEO Teresa Conway that the deal was important to preserve BC Hydro’s business relationship with the California market, which has generated $3.5 billion in revenue over the years. Bennett likened the decision to the choice made in past years by Canadian forest companies to settle the softwood lumber dispute rather than gamble on a U.S. court outcome. Most other power sellers accused of overcharging have settled. The decision by Powerex to follow suit must still be approved by FERC. Most of the refunds will go to customers of California’s biggest utilities.

Aquaducks win 17 medals at swimming provincials ALEX COOPER

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The B.C. Provincial Summer Swimming Championships were a great one for the Revelstoke Aquaducks, with a club-high 30 swimmers in attendance at the three day meet in Coquitlam last weekend. There were great expectations going in and the swimmers delivered, with every swimmer going at least one personal best, and most going multiple best times. The medal count for the team leaving Coquitlam was 17, including the regional relay medals. Winners were: — Nolan Gale, Division 3 Boys: gold in the regional relay; — James LeBuke, Division 3 Boys: gold in the 50m backstroke, silver in the 50m breaststroke, bronze in the 50m freestyle, and gold in the regional relay; — Brynn Hoshizaki, Division 3 Girls: silver in the 50m freestyle, bronze in the 100m freestyle, gold in

the regional relay; — Beth Granstrom, Division 4 Girls: bronze in the 200m individual medley and the 100m backstroke; — Bryce Molder, Division 5 Boys: gold in the 200m individual medley, silver in the 100m freestyle, and bronze in the 100m butterfly Bronze and regional relay — Josh Rota, Division 6 Boys: bronze in the regional relay — Eliza McGuire, Division 8 Girls: silver in the 100m butterfly and bronze in the 200m individual medley. While every medal was accompanied by a new club record, there were times that records went down without a medal, including LeBuke's fourth place in the 100m freestyle and Granstrom's fifth place in the 50m butterfly Also going down was Blair Muldoon's 13-year-old 200m individual medley record for Division 6 Boys, when Josh Rota came ninth in his race. Most members of the Aquaducks made the finals of their events over the course of the weekend.

Kevin Mackay exits revolving door as Revelstoke Grizzlies head coach ALEX COOPER

With main camp set to open Wednesday, Aug. 21, the Revelstoke Grizzlies are again without a coach. Kevin Mackay, who was hired as

This means that the Grizzlies have gone through three coaches this off-season. Last year's coach Kevin Kraus, stepped down to take an assistant coaching job with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks of the BCHL. James Eccles, who was hired as

the Grizzlies coach two weeks ago (and who the Times Review spoke to last Tuesday about the job) left the post Thursday for personal reasons, he told the Times Review. "Unfortunately, I maybe jumped a little too quick," he said, declining to go into any specifics.

his replacement, quit shortly after for a better paying job, said owner Lew Hendrickson. Mackay, who agreed to take the job last week and who told the Times Review on Tuesday he was preparing for the upcoming hockey season, quit on Thursday.

With camp set to begin on Wednesday, Aug. 21, the Grizzlies are once again searching for a coach. Hendrickson said he was speaking to three people and hopes to have someone in place on time. There was no word on who would be running the main camp.

Cross-country race series wraps up with race at RMR ALEX COOPER

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The winners of this year’s cross-country mountain bike race series were a contrast in styles. On the men’s side you had Salmon Arm’s Lee English, who

won four out of six races to earn the victory based on his race performance. On the women’s side the winner was Liz Kozak, who won based on her consistent participation in races and in trail maintenance days.

While the races are competitive, the overall points are designed to not only encourage placing well, but also taking part in Revelstoke Cycling Association trail days. Racers received bonus points for being young (U19) or old (40+) and for partic-

Lee English leads Kellen Viznaugh up the climb up the mountain road near the start of the final cross-country mountain bike race at Revelstoke Mountain Resort on Wednesday. English would maintain his lead throughout the race. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

ipation in trail days. There were also bonus points for taking part in every race and for winning the most races. The final race took place on Wednesday, Aug 14, at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, using the old RCA trails at the mountain. The course saw racers bike up the mountain road to the maintenance shed, ride the Faultline loop counterclockwise, pedal past the day lodge, conquer the grueling climb up the Sunshine Trail to the Big Easy bike trail, ride that trail clockwise, and then complete a second lap of Faultline before descending down the mountain to the finish line outside the Rockford restaurant. Lee English was the first one up the climb, with Brendan MacIntosh in hot pursuit. Those two would stay in the lead throughout the race, with MacIntosh unable to pull ahead of English. MacIntosh was just behind English the whole way, and English took the win by just a few seconds. Nash Masson finished third, followed by Bart Jarmula and Rich Hamilton. Only three women entered the race, and two were hampered by flat tires. Carol Prince finished first, while Emily Unterberger had to walk her bike down the mountain after her flat. Kozak finished third. In the overall standings, English won with 95 points. Kellen Viznaugh and Hamilton tied for second with 77

points. On the women’s side, Kozak led with 90 points. Teenager Unterberger finished second with 87 points and Prince, who won four out of six races, was third with 81 points. While the cross-country race season is finished, the road race series has been extended with the addition of two races. The first is a road race on Tuesday, Aug. 20, along a loop that goes from RMR to Westerberg Road, along Airport Way, up Nichol Road and along Camozzi Road back to RMR. The final race will be a time trial that will start on Mt. Begbie Road and see the racers make two steep climbs up Clough Road. The downhill race series resumes on Sunday, Sept. 15, with a race down the new Iron Lotus trail. On Sept. 29, there will be a race down Rednecks Revenge and the series wraps up on Oct. 20 with the Frigid Fingers race down the Ultimate Frisby trail. The Mt. Revelstoke Steamer has been cancelled this year due to logistical issues, said organizer Brendan MacIntosh. It will be back in 2014, possibly as part of Bike Fest, he added. The Martha Creek Meltdown down Sale Mountain returns on Saturday, Sept. 14. For more information, visit www.marthacreekmeltdown.com.
