Relay for Life

5

Revelstoke Relay for Life took place on Sunday, July 8, with a steady stream of people coming out during the day to support the fight against cancer. Nine teams took part and there were activities going on all day at Mountain View Elementary. Arlene Murray-Tompkins delivered the survivor’s address late in the evening, after the teams had been relaying for 10 hours. A nurse at the Mount Cartier Court, she called her talk, “No, no. Not me,” a refrain she repeated as she recounted her experience with cancer. It began in the winter of 2008 with a car crash that ruptured a cyst in her chest. From there, cancer started to spread.

An oncologist said it was “aggressive inflammatory” cancer. She underwent months of chemotherapy, had a mastectomy and by the end of the year was recovering. “All my trust was with others to take care of me,” she said. “What a switch from being a nurse and caring for others, and now the shoe was on the other foot.” She gave thanks to her friends and family for caring for her and said her hope is that one day people speak of cancer like they polio or small pox — diseases that have been eradicated in many countries. “If you ask the children standing beside you, ‘Do you know what TB is, or polio, or small pox?’

They will look at you puzzled — they don’t have a clue,” she said. “I hope someday in the very near future you and your family and friends won’t know what cancer was either.

The lighting of the luminaries late of the evening was one of the more sombre moments of the day. They are lit in memory of loved ones that passed away from cancer. ~ Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review INTERESTED IN SELLING?

Geoff Horne, a life member of the Revelstoke branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, lays a wreath at the base of the cenotaph during a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of D-Day on Friday, June 6. The small ceremony marked the day nearly 160,000 troops invaded France to begin the liberation of Europe from Nazi Germany. Canadian soldiers were tasked with taking Juno Beach; 359 would die, 574 were wounded and 47 captured in the operation that saw the Canadian contingent push further inland than any other allied troops that day.

“The capture of Juno Beach was accomplished by very ordinary young Canadians from all across this great country. Their courage and determination was the immediate reason for this success in these critical hours,” said Legion president Todd Driediger. “They stepped forward and demonstrated to the world that our liberty and freedom will never be conceded. They fought so we can live as free citizens in a free country. May their memories live on forever and our country ever be inspired by their sacrifices. They are our heroes and it is our duty to never forget them.”

The tale of Downie’s massive wood waste pile Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

It grew slowly. When the economy was slow, there wasn't much to it.

Then business picked up. Production doubled, and it got bigger and bigger.

It wasn't hugely noticeable at first, but it crept outwards and upwards, eventually towering over everything around it.

People started talking about it.

"What's up with it?” they asked.

“Are we in danger? Will it devour the town?"

"It" being the wood waste pile at Downie Timber that seemingly exploded in size this winter. It could be that I wasn't paying enough attention, or that I don't wander the greenbelt in winter, but when the snow melted, the pile revealed itself as this towering, amorphous mass.

"It's probably the biggest structure in town," joked a friend.

Probably not, said Alan Smythe, the manager of Downie Timber, when I mentioned that comment to him, but he did acknowledge that people were asking him about it, and were concerned.

I met Smythe and Revelstoke Fire Chief Rob Girard in Centennial Park late last month to talk about the "pile." We stood at the edge of the park where we had a good view of the mill’s log yard, with the wood waste towering above the stacks of logs.

It had actually gotten smaller by 300 truck loads in the past month, Smythe told us. He spoke of the pile in truck loads, not knowing exactly how much mass was sitting there. At its peak, there was about 1,000 truck loads of waste, he estimated. Now it was down to 700.

"Some of that's gone to as far away as Minneapolis, throughout Alberta, Kamloops, Golden, farmers," he said. "There's lots of demand for the product now that the weather has dried up quite a bit."

How did the pile get so big in the first place?

The problems go back to 2007, when the B.C. Ministry of the Environment outlawed wood burners at mills throughout the province. Suddenly, mills could no longer just toss all their waste into the fire — they had to find a way to make use of it.

"Nobody put any thought into what are we going to do with the product," said Smythe.

Some of Downie's waste — really only a small fraction — is used for the district energy system run by the Revelstoke Community Energy Corporation. The rest is shipped off to pulp mills, pellet plants, cogeneration plants, farmers and whoever else might need it.

For a time it wasn't a huge problem. During the economic slowdown at the end of last decade, Downie was down to one shift and produced much less wood waste a result.

In recent years though, production has picked up and Downie has been running two shifts. About 100,000 tons of waste is produced annually.

Last winter, the wood waste market just wasn't there, and poor road conditions hampered shipping.

"Over-production and not enough takeaway," Smythe said.

And so the pile grew and grew.

Fortunately, with the onset of spring, demand has increased and so the pile is getting smaller as trucks cart the waste away. Smythe said his goal it to keep shipping it away until it's gone. He hopes the last of it will be out of the yard by the fall.

The mass of wood waste has an economic impact on Downie. The mill has to pay to have it shipped away, though Smythe wouldn't say how much. "The cost of transportation to get that product to the market is many times what the product is worth," he said. "Right now it's like dust. It's something that you deal with and it's going to cost you a lot of money, but you put the effort in to making it happen."

He expects the market to pick up next year when a number of pellet

plants go online. Then, there will be more demand for the waste. "If I had that pile next year, it would have some real value because there would be people willing to pay a lot of money to get it," he said, adding his intention is to make it disappear, even if it costs Downie money.

"We don't want to sit on it, we don't want to make it bigger," he said. "Rob and I would rather go for a beer than stand out here and talk about the pile."

What about the fire risk?

Rob Girard, the fire chief, was with us to talk about the safety aspect of the pile. After all, one of the questions people have asked is, “Is it dangerous?”

He didn’t play down the risk of the wood pile, nor did he hype it up.

He said the fire department meets regularly with Downie to talk

He said the fire department has the capacity to tackle an all out blaze on the pile.

One recent Sunday morning, part of the pile actually did catch fire, said Girard. “What the consultant said was smother it. Put more material on it, sit back, and then pull it apart and start adding water.”

Surprisingly, he said the pile could even be smouldering somewhere deep inside. There would be no clear visual signs of that happening, but Downie personnel monitor the pile and check gas readings around vents in the pile it to see if there are any indicators of fire.

“It’s not like you guys keep throwing it on there and we’re up there on the hill thinking nothing’s happening,” said Girard. “They’re here to work with us and we’re here to work with them. It’s always been concerning for us. Even at the small stages it was concerning, and it’s concerning today.”

about the wood pile and try to mitigate the hazard.

“One of the things we did last year when the pile was large, I suggested to Downie to hire a fire specialist to come in and review the pile,” said Girard.

Downie did that, and the specialist produced a report. One of his recommendations was for Downie to move the pile in order to loosen it up.

“In doing that we made the pile twice as big because you take a pile that’s compressed — some of it was like peat moss, it was so composted — you shake it all up, you move it over, you cool it off,” said Smyth. “I think that was the best thing we did.”

The specialist looked at things like where and when the pile was mostly likely to catch fire, and what to do if it did catch fire. “We’ve given every possible scenario a look to how we approach it,” said Girard.

So proper technique is important. Metered-dose inhalers must be shaken well then breathed in slowly and deeply when the inhaler is pressed.

Breathing in continuously minimizes the amount of medication that hits the back of the throat.

A local group of whitewater enthusiasts is aiming to build a wave park they hope will act as a tourism draw to Revelstoke.

“Whether they’re stand up surfers, stand up paddleboarders or whitewater kayakers, they all want the same thing — they all want a big wave they can surf on that’s predictable and they don’t have to go in the ocean to do so,” said Brendan Ginter, who is the president of the nascent Revelstoke Community Wave Park Society.

What is a wave park? In its most basic form, it is a modification of a river to create a standing wave for paddlers or surfers to play in. They’re generally made with rocks, concrete and rebar so they’re strong enough to withstand the forces of the river.

“There are hundreds of these things throughout the world now,” said Ginter. “People started making modifications to rivers, or doing man-made rivers for kayaking purposes in the 60s — mostly

for slalom kayaking.”

I met with Ginter last month by the Illecillewaet River Bridge, near where the society hopes to build a wave. We stood by the river, near the large parking lot where the greenbelt path starts at Fourth Street and where the city dumps snow during the winter.

The first thing he did was make it clear project is still in its infancy.

The society only recently registered as a non-profit and elected a board of directors. They’ve held had a few meetings and met with Alan Mason from the City of Revelstoke and Cory Legebokow from the Ministry of the Environment/ They applied for a Kraft Celebration Tour Grant.

“There’s nothing imminent.

We’re thinking five to ten years down the road,” Ginter said.

Man-made wave parks exist throughout the United States and Canada, but there are none in B.C. that I found out about, though one has been in the works in Fernie for two years now.

“There isn’t a lot of precedent set in British Columbia for this

type of facility,” said Dan Savage, who is heading up the Fernie project. “Certainly there are similar facilities in Alberta, and many in the United States, but not a great deal of precedence in this legislative body.”

Savage said they need three permits to build the park. First, they need tenure over the river. Second, they need to apply for permission from the Coast Guard and lastly, they need to get the environmental approvals in place.

“Once we have our permits we need an engineer to sign off that there will be no increase in water level and that the structures are designed not to gather logs or rocks or ice — so they’ll be selfcleaning,” he said.

He expects the permitting process to take a year and that park will cost about $500,000 to build, though he’s hoping for in-kind donations of material and equipment to help lower the costs.

In Revelstoke the goal is to build one wave, ideally on the stretch of the Illecillewaet River between the Fourth Street bridge and Bridge Creek. Ginter said their first step is to raise money to conduct an engineering study to see where the wave could be built. They hope to work with Scott Shipley of S2o Design, a company that specializes in building whitewater parks.

“Before we do anything else, we should see if it’s even feasible, because we don’t know,” he said.

The challenges are numerous, especially given the hugely varying levels of flow on the Illecillewaet. There’s the matter of getting all the right permits, finding the right spot for the wave, raising enough money for the project and then getting it built — not an easy task in a moving river with a short construction window.

One thing that both he and Savage said is that the waves are actually good for fish habitat because they create standing eddies that fish enjoy.

“We have to take all these concerns seriously because they’re all road blocks,” said Ginter.

“Fisheries is going to be the biggest thing. Ministry approval is going to tough and then getting the city on board is going to be difficult.”

He believes Revelstoke has the potential to become a major whitewater destination — all it’s missing is a place for beginners to learn in. The wave park would help in this regard. “Our plan is one single standing wave.

That’s it. Nothing crazy,” he said. “No major modifications to this river that has modified many times before already. All we’re thinking is it’s something that draws tourists.”

Local teachers back on strike Friday Black Press

Revelstoke teachers will be back on strike this Friday, June 12, and possibly longer depending on the result of a strike vote held earlier this week, after press time.

Visit the Times Review website for an update to this article.

The BC Teachers Federation continued its rotating strikes last week, while the war of words between the union and the provincial government continued.

Last Wednesday, June 4, the Labour Relations Board upheld the government's decision to cut pay by 10 per cent in response to the strikes and the teachers' refusal to perform some duties outside classroom hours.

B.C. Teachers' Federation president Jim Iker said the pay cut and partial lockout of members is "a punitive action" that is unfair to teachers performing their essential classroom duties.

In response, the BCTF was set to hold another vote June 9-10 to authorize full-scale strike action.

Rotating strikes are to continue next week while the strike vote is held and counted.

"If approved, this would likely mean a full-scale strike within the next two weeks," Iker said.

He has said the BCTF strike fund is nearly empty.

LRB vice-chair Richard Longpre dismissed the B.C. Teachers' Federation appeal of the partial lockout of teachers in a decision released Wednesday afternoon. He said the two sides are free to seek a third-party resolution of the dispute.

Iker said the union is taking legal advice on the LRB decision

and may pursue arbitration.

Meanwhile, the province wants the completion of secondary school exams and reports cards to be declared an essential service.

The application to extend essential services and avoid "serious and immediate damage" to students was filed Friday with the Labour Relations Board by the B.C. Public School Employers Association.

The proposed widening of the existing essential services order so Grade 10 to 12 students can finish the school year and get their final grades would only apply if the B.C. Teachers Federation escalates to a full strike from one-daya-week rotating strikes in each district.

The application says failure to deliver final grades would leave graduating students ineligible for scholarships and potentially unable to apply to post-secondary institutions or employers.

"Depriving Grade 12 students of post-secondary opportunities which may not be replaceable would clearly threaten the welfare of these students."

Grade 10 and 11 grades are also needed for access to bursaries or scholarships and appropriate placement in the next year's classes, it said.

At the bargaining table, the BCTF has reduced its pay increase proposal by one per cent over four years and offered other concessions in a move to end the stalemate.

In an email to union members Tuesday night, the BCTF executive said the offer "adjusted the Federation's package in seven areas, including salary, benefits,

preparation time and [substitute teacher] compensation."

The new BCTF wage proposal is a total increase of 9.75% over four years, plus cost-of-living adjustments in each year depending on inflation. BCTF president Jim Iker has estimated that with inflation, the total increase would be 12.75% over four years.

The B.C. Public School Employers' Association, representing the province's 60 school districts, has proposed a 7.5% increase over six years, and recently added a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement by the end of the school year.

BCPSEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron has described the employers' wage proposal as in line with other public sector union agreements already reached.

The two sides remain bitterly divided over class size and special needs support staff, the subject of repeated court actions since those provisions were removed from the teacher contract in 2002.

Premier Christy Clark, questioned by Black Press in Pitt Meadows Friday, said she first wants a settlement on wage increases for teachers ahead of further consideration of changes to class size and composition.

"Teachers deserve a raise too," Clark said. "I think we can get there. But we have to decide we're going to roll up our sleeves, be serious about bargaining and decide that there is a will to get this done without putting kids in the middle of the fight."

LETTERS POLICY

Teacher implores trustees to stand with union Dear Trustees of District #19, The past two weeks have been very difficult for me. I am not being dramatic when I say sleepless nights and profound disillusionment have become the norm. I feel the foundations of B.C. society have been breached and education in our province undermined by the very department charged with its promotion. British Columbian students are truly being disrupted and a growing sense of injustice has arisen. As a teacher, I teach about our justice system, democracy, and indeed the power of the people. It is so ironic to taste injustice as an educator while teaching about it on a daily basis in social studies.

What injustices do I speak of? I am deeply concerned with the lack of respect and what I believe to be the unethical behaviour of the provincial government. Disregarding the decision of the Supreme Court of British Columbia by way of appealing the decision on class size and composition is irresponsible. The government, of all people should be able to honour and respect the Supreme Court.

Furthermore, I am moved to utter disbelief that the Ministry of Education (through their negotiating body, BCPSEA) has decided that their lockout and ensuing docking of our pay by 10% is a fair negotiating tactic. I am writing to ask for clarification on why you are not speaking out against these two actions — ignoring the Supreme Court and locking us out with a pay reduction.

I deeply respect the elected trustees in our community, on a professional and personal level. I have been involved in politics for many years and know that your jobs are not easy at all. In fact your responsibilities are most often entirely thankless and extremely time consuming, yet the decisions you make are very important. As the days pass I can’t understand how the Board of Education in

L ET T E R S SD 19 can support the government decisions I believe to be irresponsible and harmful to our children. I hope that you will stand up for teachers and the children in our community by not supporting the tactics at play right now. It really is the children who are being harmed by not respecting the Supreme Court and locking the teachers out during our breaks.

Exactly how is the lock out impacting students? Please read over my list of what I do during recess and lunch, and consider who is suffering (other than me at the loss of pay): STANDARD RECESS AND LUNCH ACTIVITIES FOR TEACHERS: — Help students finish the preceding lesson that they were struggling with (almost daily); — Help students with overdue work (almost daily); — Help students with work they missed when they were absent (almost daily); — Facilitate conflict resolution between students (daily); — Talk to students who I notice to be struggling emotionally (daily); — Help students find a missing assignment in their desk (almost daily); — Prepare for the next lesson by getting out manipulatives, resources, stations, etc. (almost daily); — Put away manipulatives, resources, stations, etc from the previous lesson (almost daily); — Review the upcoming lesson plan to make the next lesson go smoothly (daily); — Supervise students that stay in because of health issues (almost daily); — Technology: load PowerPoints, samples of the upcoming lesson, short video/

audio clips (almost daily); — Grab a bite to eat and use the washroom (should be daily, but most often there isn’t time!); — Conference with admin, other teachers regarding issues that arise outside the classroom (almost daily); — Photocopy assignments, cut paper, hand out assignments, collect assignments (weekly); — Call parents to discuss a variety of topics- behaviour, meetings, health, homework, etc (weekly); — Call stakeholder agencies (MCF, Community Connections) to discuss students (weekly); — Supervision of students outside on the playground (weekly); — Prepare any support staff for upcoming lessons since there is no other time to do this (weekly); I ask the trustees of our community: what is their personal line in the sand that they are not willing to cross in this crisis? Is it a further pay cut? A more extreme lock out?

Declaring our strike illegal? The use of force to stop teachers from picketing?

When will our trustees break with protocol and stand up to the tactics that our government believes will bring resolution to the teacher dispute? As a teacher I am striking and picketing for my students. I believe in them unequivocally and it breaks my heart when I think of larger classes, less help, less funding, and less time for me to be with them. They deserve and need much better than what is happening right now. I ask you as the trustees of my students to stand with me and the other teachers on Tuesday as guardians of education and the children of our province.

Lew Hendrickson ‘community hero’ for saving Grizzlies Editor, In reference to your article (Sale of Revelstoke Grizzlies close) of June 4, 2014, I would like to clarify a few points that were printed erroneously. Since Mr. Lewis Hendrickson became a part of the ownership group in 2009, the Revelstoke Grizzlies’ accomplishments should be further emphasized and highlighted in a more amiable fashion: — 2009-2010: Overall KIJHL ­ League Champions, Keystone Cup Champions, and Cyclone Taylor Cup Champions — 2010-2011: Placed first in the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference and Doug Birks Division, fourth overall in league standings. Made it to conference finals.

— 2011-2012: Placed first in the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference and Doug Birks Division, second overall in league standings. Lost in Game 7 to the Sicamous Eagles in

first round.

2012-2013: Placed third in the Doug Birks Division with a rookie coach and overhaul in ownership.

Lost in hard fought first round to Sicamous Eagles.

These accomplishments seem to have been omitted or forgotten in your article. Mr. Hendrickson has been a part of an ownership group that has brought unprecedented success in the KIJHL to Revelstoke.

He has helped to keep this team in Revelstoke and that should be celebrated; not vilified as your comment seems to infer, “In two seasons under Hendrickson, the team’s record plummeted…”

Although the team’s record was not as stellar as past years, at least Mr. Hendrickson stepped up when no one else would. It was his efforts that stopped the sale of the team to 100 Mile House, not the Revelstoke Grizzlies Society. In May of 2012, I was present at the Board of Gover-

nors’ meeting in Castlegar when we made an impassioned speech pleading our case to not move the team.

Members of the society were there and were given an opportunity to speak on the matter and did not.

In 2012-13, Mr. Hendrickson took over majority ownership and I worked as a volunteer to help him run the team. In that year we cleared close to $73,000 in previous debt and unpaid bills left over by previous management to local businesses in a highly successful year of operations (not $60,000).

Try doing that and running a franchise at the same time on limited funds! We accomplished this goal and I am extremely proud of that fact, while having a competitive and hard-working team with record attendance figures and community support from great organizations like the Revelstoke Credit Union; stepping up to be such great helpers nightly.

In my opinion, Mr. Hendrickson should be treated as a community hero in this regard for working to do what no other individuals would do — SAVE this team, keep it local and provide stellar entertainment to the community which really hasn’t always supported it.

He ensured local players got the opportunity to play and has personally sunk a small fortune into this team to keep it going. He provided an active, vibrant, entertaining sports venue for our winter visitors and the community of Revelstoke while never asking for praise or accolades.

In the future, please ensure that your facts and figures are correct and

that they tell the whole story. Your articles should not be insulting to people who’ve given so much back to the community.

Yours truly, Steve Smith Past business manager, Revelstoke Grizzlies

Will B.C. receive full value for its natural gas?

Mla Report

by Norm Macdonald

Premier Christy Clark has stated that our province is in a race with the rest of the world, a race to develop our Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) industry and retire British Columbia’s debt with the royalties.

But when it comes to government completing the work that needs to be done, the BC Liberals are barely out of the starting gate.

One of the critical things that

government must accomplish immediately is to establish the Tax and Royalty regime under which LNG will be produced, and no corporation is going to make any commitments until these key questions are settled.

Mindful of the need to move quickly, the Premier promised that legislation to establish tax and royalty rates would be before the House in September 2013. But instead, the Legisla-

ture did not even sit in the fall of 2013.

Next, the Premier promised that the legislation would be ready for the 2014 spring session. On May 29, we wrapped up the spring sitting, and the BC Liberals are now promising the LNG tax and royalty rates will be ready for the House in fall 2014. This is no way to win

Over 3500 BC 55+ Seniors expected to attend.

There’s good news for teams coming to compete in the Big Bear soccer tournament this year — fivetime defending champions Williams Lake are not returning.

The better news for Revelstoke fans is that a few players from that team will be competing for Revelstoke FC in the 22nd edition of the tournament this weekend.

Seventeen teams are signed up to take part in the tournament — 11 men’s and six women’s.

a race.

Meanwhile, things are continuing to shift in global LNG markets and the projections on which the government is basing its promises of LNG prosperity are getting less and less realistic.

But the BC Liberals continue to bank the province’s entire future on this plan.

As a province that is rich in resources, we have many experiences with what happens when a government mismanages the development and sale of our resources.

As the owners of these resources, which we hold in com-

mon as British Columbians, we can be enriched tremendously through proper use and management. But we can also be left impoverished when our government miscalculates the needs of the global market.

One recent example was the privatization of B.C. rivers for run-of-river power production (IPPs) to feed presumed global demand for electricity. BC Hydro was forced by the government to pay for the construction of private power projects through overpriced, long-term energy purchase agreements.

As a result, BC Hydro will pay out $55 billion over the next 30 years for power we don’t need.

And reduced demand for electricity due to the increased availability of natural gas means there is less interest outside of B.C. in buying our surplus electricity.

Since BC Hydro is a Crown Corporation, that $55 billion comes out of your pocket.

Will LNG development be a similar story? Will British Columbia receive full value for its natural gas? Or will BC follow the example of Australia and heavily subsidize construction of LNG plants while receiving little in return?

These are the questions I want Premier Clark to answer. If you are also curious, send the Premier an email at premier@gov.bc.ca.

During an open house, it was noted 30 collisions occurred on the Malakwa bridge between 2002 and 2011. Two of those were fatalities, while 12 resulted in injury and 16 in property damage only.

Armando Ralph Lazzarotto Armando Ralph Lazzarotto passed away peacefully on Sunday June 1, 2014, at Mount Cartier Court, Revelstoke BC, surrounded by family. Armando (Mondo) is survived by Olive, his loving wife of 67 years, and sons Lorne (Georgina), Eric (Anne), Arne (Leslie), Norm (Julie), daughter-in-law Tracy (Ralph) and 9 grandchildren; Tadd, Christian, Erika, Martin, Jeff, Brooke, Brent, Justin, Ashley and great grandson Kody. He was predeceased by his son Ralph, brother Arthur, and sisters Clelia and Alma.

Mondo was born on July 4, 1923, in Revelstoke BC and graduated from the local high school in 1942. During the war years he served with the RCAF, stationed in Summerside PEI. After the war he returned to Revelstoke to continue his employment with the CPR. He held positions as a welder, brakeman and conductor. He retired after 42 years of service, as a Conductor on the Via Rail passenger train.

In 1947, he married his high school sweetheart, Olive Turnross and became the proud father of 5 sons. He was an avid mountain climber, fisherman and gardener, passions he shared with his sons. In 1956, they purchased lakefront property at Swansea Point on Mara Lake and throughout the years it became a favourite gathering place for the family. He spent countless hours with Olive over the years developing and making many improvements to the cottage. Mondo was a man of many talents and he participated in several athletic activities.

He was a member of the high school hockey team and local baseball team. In 1946, he was a member of the Revelstoke hockey team that participated in the Coy Cup in Prince George BC. In the early 1960’s, he served as the president for Revelstoke’s Little League baseball organization. In his retirement years he took up curling and golfing. The CP Rail slow-pitch tourney each September long weekend was a highlight for him. His sons, grandsons, granddaughters and other family members played for the “Uncoachables" team. It became an annual tradition for the family to gather at Emo's restaurant following the tourney for an evening of close family kinship.

Kathleen Margaret Beruschi (nee Carmina Fuoco) passed away at Mt. Cartier Court Extended Care, Revelstoke on Tuesday, June 3rd, 2014 at the age of 100 years. A Mass of Christian Burial was held at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church on Saturday afternoon, June 7th with Father Aaron de Dios celebrant. Interment followed in the family plot of Mountain View Cemetery, Revelstoke.

Honorary pallbearers were Phil DeCicco, Roman Beruschi, Adrian Beruschi, Brady Beruschi, Michael Hoffman, Benjamin Beruschi and David Beruschi. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Revelstoke Hospice Society, Box 3133, Revelstoke, B.C. V0E 2S0, or the charity of your choice, in memory of Kay. Kay was born in Revelstoke on April 8, 1914 and had been a life-long resident. She was a selfemployed businesswoman, owning and operating the Regent Hotel for many years, a woman ahead of her time in that regard. She was a champion of local causes but always remained in the background, preferring not to be acknowledged publicly. Kay was active with community philanthropy. She loved her family and took great pride in all their accomplishments.

Kay was predeceased by her parents Fillipo and Maria, her husband Fred, sisters Santa, Janet and Vera and her brother Baker. She is survived by three children: Fred (Marcia), Sherrin Stewart (Mickey Jones) and Jane Hoffman (Bruce Walker); six grandchildren: Brady (Courtney), Adrian (Bryna), Stefano (Lauren), Abigail (Don), Catherine (Steve) and Michael (Leslie); 12 great grandchildren: Roman, Isabella, Hugo, Luca, Marco, Alessandra, Matthew, Danielle, Holden, Claire, Olivia and William, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

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

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

During his last few months, Mondo resided at Mount Cartier Court, where he received exceptional care from the medical staff. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in memory of Armando to the Mount Cartier Court Foundation, c/o Bag 5000, Revelstoke, B.C. V0E 2S0. Family and friends are invited to an afternoon come and go reception at the Catholic Church Hall on Friday, June 13, 2014 from 2:00 - 4:00 pm.

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

A request by the province to substitute a federal environmental review of a proposed mine with a single provincial review has raised concerns and differing opinions.

Shuswap Environmental Action Society president Jim Cooperman was given a guided tour in 2008 of the Ruddock Creek zinc mine, high above the 3:12 PM headwaters of the Adams River.

“At that point they were going to do all the processing a long way away in an area that didn’t post any environmental risks,” he says. “Since then, they’ve changed the plans.”

While he describes the plan by mine owner Imperial Metals of Vancouver as basically a good one, Cooperman says his main concern is the tailings to be stored there for the first six months of operation going into Light Lake.

Cooperman’s other concern is the fact the mine is located in a heavy snowfall area with a high likelihood of avalanches, events that he believes could destroy infrastructure and harm the surrounding environment, including Oliver Creek and farther downstream, the Adams River.

Those are all the challenges connected with operating at high elevation and ones that need extreme caution and environmental oversight – from both the province and the federal govern-

ment, he says.

“The track record for provincial assessments is that they operate as a rubber stamp,” he says.

“As we have seen only too clearly by the approval of the province of Prosperity Mine, which would have destroyed Fish Lake, it was subsequently turned down twice in the federal review process.”

Ramsey Hart of Mining Watch Canada says the non-profit organization was alerted to the province’s request by the Neskonlith Indian Band, which opposes the move because of their traditional use of the area. He will be asking Ottawa to deny the B.C. government’s request.

“We think federal oversight on key issues is really important due to aboriginal use of the land, potential impacts on fisheries and endangered species – all of which are the responsibility of the federal government,” he says, noting he is also concerned the B.C. timeline is too short at 180 days to do a review and 45 days for a decision to be made, whereas a federal assessment can take a year to two if it is done by a review panel. “We also note that the federal government has held projects to a higher standard.”

But both the government and Imperial Metals say oversight will not be reduced.

“The substituted environmental assessment still covers what must be considered under both a provincial assessment and a federal assessment,” reads a June 3

email from the Ministry of Environment, which maintains substitution allows the assessment process to be conducted more effectively and efficiently. “The province’s businesses, First Nations and communities alike will benefit from the elimination of the duplication involved in having two assessments for a single project, while maintaining strong environmental assessments and aboriginal consultation.”

Steve Robertson, Imperial Metals vice-president corporate affairs, agrees. In responding to Cooperman’s concerns, Robertson says the plan is to minimize “to the extent possible,” the environmental footprint of the mine.

He says the tailings, or leftover rocks, will be mixed with cement and be placed back in the mine.

But, he points out, until the mine has been in production for several months, there will be no place to put the tailings.

A dam will be built high on the headwaters of Oliver Creek, right beside the processing plant to contain the initial tailings, Robertson says. Avalanche control will be part of the company’s management plan, both in terms of building infrastructure and control measures, he adds.

Robertson says First Nations concerns are also being addressed.

Comments regarding the mine may be made to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency by the June 19 deadline.
