TSB investigating derailment in Glacier National Park Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

CP Rail took more than a day to notify the Transportation Safety Board about a derailment that took place in Glacier National Park, the Times Review was told.

James Carmichael, a senior investigator with the TSB, said they were notified of the derailment more than 24 hours after five cars jumped the track on the Stoney Creek Bridge last week.

"It is a concern," he said. "The head office will be looking into the delay in reporting."

TSB regulations require railway companies to report incidents "as soon as possible and by the quickest means available."

A CP Rail train derailed on the Stoney Creek Bridge near the east end of Glacier National Park on Tuesday, Jan. 13, at around 5:30 a.m. The incident wasn't reported to the TSB until Wednesday morning.

A CP Rail spokesperson said the company would also be looking into the delay. "It is part of our processes to contact them immediately," said Salem Woodrow.

Woodrow said five empty flat cars derailed. She denied reports the cars were dangling in the air off the bridge, which sits almost 100 metres above Stoney Creek.

She said there were no injuries, no spills and no public safety concerns.

Parks Canada spokesperson Marnie DiGiandomenico said in an e-mail, "The environmental concern is low, as the rail cars were empty and all cars remain at track level."

The Stoney Creek Bridge, where a train derailed last week, is regarded as one of the most scenic railway bridges in the world.

She said Parks was not involved in the response, as it took place on CP Rail land, but they did monitor weather and avalanche conditions to ensure worker safety.

It took three days for the derailed cars to be removed from the track.

"This is a remote location and it did take time to fully evaluate the situation and ensure that we had the

proper equipment in place to manage the incident safely," Woodrow said.

A request for further details on how the cars were removed from

the bridge was denied, as was a request for photos.

The Stoney Creek Bridge is located at the east end of Glacier National Park. It is 200 metres long and sits 90 metres above the creek. When it was originally built in 1885 it was the highest railway bridge in the world.

Carmichael said the TSB was investigating the derailment.

"We just found out about it earlier on today," he said last Wednesday, Jan. 14. "We're starting to do our investigative work. We have not deployed yet."

He said investigators would look at how the train was being handled, the condition of the track, how the train was marshalled, and any mechanical issues.

The fact it took place on a bridge raises special concerns, said Carmichael. "We've had a couple of other incidents in the last few years where other structures were involved," he said. "They're an integral part of the railway network."

Julie Leroux, a TSB spokesperson, said derailments are normally reported within an hour and it rarely takes longer than a day to report an incident. Delays are acceptable in the case of injuries or when police support is needed.

"The TSB works to maintain effective working relationships with industry stakeholders," Leroux wrote. "Incidents of late reporting that are not indicative of a systemic problem are addressed directly with stakeholders. Such incidents are usually resolved cooperatively without the need for the TSB to pursue formal action."

Sgt Kim Hall remembered as “compassionate and considerate” Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Sgt. Kim Hall was remembered as a compassionate and considerate mother, grandmother and police officer who believed in honesty and integrity.

Hall died suddenly last Monday, Jan. 12, two days after experiencing a stroke while visiting family on B.C.’s Sunshine Coast. She was 60 years old.

She was remembered at a memorial service at the United Church on Monday, Jan. 19. Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky of the Revelstoke RCMP delivered her eulogy.

“Kim Hall was compassionate, considerate and took things to heart,” he said. “Kim was a good friend, a good person and a loving mother and grandmother.”

Hall was born in Killarney, Manitoba, in 1954. She had three sisters and one brother. According to her sister Janet, her family felt she would always be a police officer due to her habit of always confessing any bad deeds.

“She couldn’t sleep until she confessed,” said Grabinsky, reading a message from Janet. “We always said she’d be a nun or a police officer. Since we weren’t Catholic, well, it speaks for itself.”

Hall and her husband Warren had three children — Carl, Christa and Steve.

In her mid-20s she decided to pursue her dream of becoming an RCMP officer, but it wasn’t easy. On her first try she was told she needed to learn French, so she moved to Quebec with her children and enrolled in a French immersion program.

The second time she applied, she was told she needed more education, so she went back to school for two years. The third time she applied, she was told she needed more consistent work experience, so she got a job and held it for two years.

Finally, on her fourth try, she was accepted into the RCMP and went to depot.

Sgt. Kim Hall passed away surrounded by her family in Sechelt, B.C., on Monday, Jan. 12.

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review file photo

Her first posting was in Terrace, B.C., in 1990. There, she helped found the BC Youth Police Network, a group that works to reduce youth crime.

“Kim first displayed her interest in community policing there and she was known to give everyone the benefit of the doubt,” said Grabinsky.

Her next posting was in Chilliwack, B.C., in 1997. In 2001 she transferred to Gibson, B.C., and two years later she joined the Sunshine Coast general investigation unit.

In 2005, she was promoted to corporal and transferred to Midway, B.C., where she set up a Citizen’s on Patrol network. In 2010, she transferred to the Sea-toSky detachment, where she was seconded to the Mount Currie Stl’atl’imx Tribal Police.

In 2011, she came to Revelstoke where she took on the post of sergeant. She was the operations noncommissioned officer here, and for six months was the detachment commander.

“Honest and integrity were important to Kim and the RCMP embodied those values,” said Grabinsky. “She loved being a member of a world class organization that

Disappointment follows forestry open house Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

An industry perhaps feeling on the defensive lately pivoted with an open house last week in which it tried to take the offensive and defend its work.

At the behest of the Revelstoke Cycling Association and Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club, Revelstoke forestry companies hosted an open house at the community centre on Tuesday, but their approach left many people feeling dissatisfied.

The open house was held in response to concerns regarding logging in the area immediately surrounding Revelstoke — particularly a proposal for further harvesting in the Mount Macpherson area that would impact several Nordic skiing and mountain biking trails, but also logging on Boulder Mountain and Frisby Ridge.

The Times Review reported in September that BC Timber Sales intends on logging two cut blocks on Macpherson in 2016. The article led to several letters to the editor opposing the decision, citing the recreation value of the area.

Present were representatives from four of Revelstoke’s major

licensees: BC Timber Sales (BCTS), Stella Jones, Downie Timber, the Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation (RCFC), and one woodlot operator.

They organized a four-part presentation that explained how forests were managed in B.C., the importance of the local logging industry, and the relationship between forestry and recreation.

However the elephant in the room and the reason about 150 people came out — the proposal for new harvesting at Mount Macpherson — went largely unaddressed, and the lack of an open question and answer session left people disappointed.

“I was very surprised that the format was non-inclusive to all the different groups involved and it was just a presentation by the loggers,” said Steve Scott, a local mountain biker. “It felt like they were trying to quell disapproval from the different groups.”

His comments were echoed by many in on- and off-the-record conversations following the presentations.

“I think there was a lot missing here at this meeting,” said Loni Parker, the director for Area B Rural Revelstoke. “I think a lot of people will be disappointed

because there wasn’t an open Q&A session and there wasn’t a lot of information put out about the actual harvesting in the area.”

Ken Gibson, the retiring recreation officer for the Revelstoke area, began the presentations with an explanation on how recreation sites and trails were managed in respect to the land base. “They are in the working forest. They are not parks or protected areas,” he said. “This designation means integrated resource management must take place.”

As he explained it, trails are approved following consultation with other stakeholders. If trails were protected, it would be much more difficult to get them approved.

His goal is to make sure the stakeholders work together. As an example, he pointed to the memorandum of understanding that exists between Stella Jones and the Revelstoke Cycling Association. The two parties are expected to consult when they plan work in overlapping areas, and they are expected to meet once a year.

“It’s all about working together,” Gibson said.

Pat McMechan, a forester with Stella Jones, spoke about land management in the Revelstoke

N ew s

area. His presentation focused mostly on land use policy, forestry planning and the annual allowable cut system that sets out how much timber forestry companies are expected to harvested. Logging around Revelstoke is governed by the Revelstoke Higher Level Plan Order.

McMechan said 24 per cent of the Revelstoke Timber Supply Area is harvestable, and of that, only one per cent of the harvestable timber is logged every year.

“However, a considerable amount of that Timber Harvest Land Base (THLB) is around the city of Revelstoke,” he added.

Angus Woodman, who works for Downie Timber, spoke about the local forestry sector, noting the existence of four major licensees, four woodlots, a successful mill, and a diverse mix of species.

The sector employs about 375 people and makes up close to 20 per cent of Revelstoke’s income.

“The future of Revelstoke’s forest industry is quite bright,” he said.

Rob Mohr, a forester with BC Timber Sales, responded to prewritten questions from the Revelstoke Cycling Association. It was these answers that got closest to addressing logging impacts on trails, without actually answering them. The closest he came was a question that asked about longterm logging plans for Macpherson, Boulder and Frisby.

“I’m going to cop out a little bit on this one and let you ask this question at the open house portion,” he said. “I think the key point to remember is mature timber in the THLB will be harvested over time, within constraints.”

In response to another question about forming a joint-use committee for Macpherson, Boulder and Frisby, he said he didn’t know what purpose it would serve.

“We have to understand we do have this higher-level plan and we have provincial legislation that has already been formulated with input from these stakeholders,” he said. “Any new approach to the planning end of things should be led by the provincial government – because it is a provincial resource – and evaluated against the current system.”

Afterwards, each stakeholder retreated to their respective corners and fielded answers from people one-on-one. People grouped together and discussed what they heard, and how to move forward.

There was an acknowledgment that the licensees were working within the parameters set out by the government, and a realization that this open house was not the channel to make real changes.

That would need to happen by lobbying government.

“I think what a lot of people wanted to know and were coming here for — what are the channels we go through to have the legislation that the forestry companies follow changed?” said Scott.

Aaron Orlando, the only city councillor present at the meeting (he said the rest were tied up in an eight-hour council meeting that he left to attend the open house) said the matter was a complex issue that would involve ongoing communication and dealings with the province.

“I sense a community trying to come together trying to find a better way of doing things, but we don’t hold all the cards by any means,” he said. “Economics and regulatory framework are huge in this and we’re struggling to find a better way of doing this and that’s complex.”

Geoff Battersby, who said he was speaking as a citizen and not in his role as chair of the Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation, said there was room for a solution satisfactory to everybody.

“Revelstoke’s got a great history of doing that kind of thing, but it’s not happening, obviously,” he said.

Chris Pawlitsky, the president of the Revy Riders dirt bike club, said that so far the licensees have been cooperative with his club.

Logging this winter will impact a 100 metre section of one dirt bike trail on Frisby Ridge, and Stella Jones agreed to repair it. Still, he wasn’t completely happy with the current situation.

“It’s David vs. Goliath. I don’t think it’s fair they can come in and roll us over,” he said. “All the hard work we’ve done — they

can wreck it in one afternoon.”

Still, he added, “I’m not going to stop it, so I’m going to work with them.”

One issue that came up in several conversations was having the Macpherson area turned into a community forest, and possibly run by RCFC. Loni Parker, who sits on the board of RCFC, said the idea had been broached in the past, but without success.

“It would be very positive for the community if RCFC was managing the area,” she said.

“I’m sure the dialogue will take place again and hopefully the new mayor and council will be onside as well and we can have a dialogue between the CSRD, city council and RCFC to see how we can move forward to get more community input into the areas right around Revelstoke.”

Not everyone was disappointed in the presentations. Gary Graf said he thought the talks were well prepared and from the heart.

He didn’t have any concerns with logging right around Revelstoke.

“As a matter of fact I’ve been really impressed about having been a relatively recent arrival in Revelstoke, the whole notion of integrated management, cooperation, shared use — I think it says a lot about the community,” he said.

As for the logging at Macpherson, Mohr said it was still set to go forward in 2016, but there was some flexibility in terms of how it would be done — whether it was a clear cut, or if the trails were left untouched.

“There’s not going to be no harvesting, but we want input as to what people want to see,” he said. “Do they want some trees left there? Are they willing to accept the risk of blowdown, or we can be more aggressive and clear it out a little bit more? It might look more impacted, but there’s no risks.”

LETTERS POLICY

The new Revelstoke council re-affirmed support for a request that would see a parcel targeted for the development of a boutique hotel be incorporated into the city.

David Evans and Shelley Sharpe are looking to build a treehouse hotel on the property, which is located on Camozzi Road at the base of Revelstoke Mountain Resort, but first they have requested the property be annexed into the city so they can use city services.

Council gave support for the request in April, but the province asked the new council if they wanted to continue the support.

The request needs to be approved by the provincial cabinet in order to move forward. If it receives provincial approval, a public process involving local stakeholders would be started.

One kink in the process is the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, which so far is opposing the annexation.

In a letter to the City of Revelstoke, Jan Thingsted, a planner with the CSRD, said the request was not supported by the Area B Rural Revelstoke Official Community Plan.

"While the OCP supports the Upper Bench transitioning from a rural area to urban/resort area, a comprehensive boundary extension strategy should first be established before considering individual properties for annexations," he wrote. "Such a strategy would take into account the entire Upper Bench area and examine critical issues like securing a safe and sustainable water supply for the Thomas Brook water users."

The Thomas Brook water users are contemplating an annexation request in order to connect to city water, however no formal

request has come forward.

Dean Strachan, the manager of development services for the City of Revelstoke, told council that staff disagreed with the CSRD position. "It's a vacant parcel adjacent to the city with services nearby," he said.

Evans and Sharpe are proposing to build a hotel with a 10,000–15,000 square foot main lodge, surrounded by a number of treehouse-style suites on the property.

CRN TO TARGET HOARDING The Community Response Network is aiming to tackle the issue of compulsive hoarding in Revelstoke.

In a presentation to council, Stephanie Melnyk, the director of the CRN said hoarding was raised as an issue in Revelstoke.

"A number of the CRN committee members have come across hoarding examples in the community and it's not possible for just one agency to provide adequate support in the area of compulsive hoarding," she said. "It's a very complex issue and it requires a number of agencies to work together."

According to Wikipedia, compulsive hoarding "is a pattern of behaviour that is characterized by the excessive acquisition of and inability or unwillingness to discard large quantities of objects that cover the living areas of the home and cause significant distress or impairment."

Melnyk said she would be speaking with Dean Strachan, the manager of development services, to work on a strategy to address the issue. She noted the City of Vancouver set up a task force to look at the issue, and she hoped to something similar in Revelstoke.

"The key piece in here is having the sup-

In an interview following the meeting, Melnyk said she would be unveiling more details in the future.

BREWERY PUBLIC HEARING SET A public hearing will be held for Mt. Begbie Brewery's proposed move to Johnson Heights.

The brewery is looking to build a new, expanded facility on Oak Drive, below the Coast Hillcrest Hotel in Johnson Heights.

Before it can do so, it is seeking a rezoning that would allow for the construction of a brewery with a maximum capacity of 15,000 hectolitres per year.

Council gave first and second readings to the application at it's Jan. 13 meeting.

The public hearing will be held Tuesday, Feb. 10 at 2:30 p.m. in council chambers.

NO OPPOSITION AT VACATION RENTAL HEARINGS No one spoke at two vacation rental public hearings last week.

Public hearings were held for applications to turn homes at 412 Fourth Street West and 2077 Mountain Gate Road into vacation rentals.

The Times Review did not attend the hearings, but Dawn Levesque said no one spoke at the hearings. The applications will now go to council for third reading.

A public hearing was set for another vacation rental application for 817 Silver Avenue. It is scheduled for Feb. 10 at 2:30 p.m.

New land-use plan needed Editor Having attended the meeting on January 13 concerning logging on Mount MacPherson (see page 4), I wish to respond. The meeting consisted of presentations by the recreation officer, and the forest companies who have areas where they have the rights to log adjacent to Revelstoke. These companies are Stella Jones, Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation and British Columbia Timber Sales (BCTS) and Downie Timber. Representatives from Stella Jones, Downie Timber, and BCTS answered presubmitted questions put forward mostly by members of the cycling club, Nordic club.

Stella Jones and BCTS are the companies mostly involved in logging Mt. MacPherson, Boulder and Frisby Ridge. They also gave a Forestry 101 briefing.

I was struck by the one-sidedness of what was called for over and over again: we must work together. Sounds nice, but in fact the forest companies under the umbrella of provincial legislation have all the rights and those affected such as recreationists. tourists and spiritual seekers have none. Nor do the municipalities involved or the regional districts.

This legislation is for the benefit of the whole we were told.

The problem here is that when the whole has precedence over the part, oppression results. The whole in this case is comprised of the Christy Clark Liberals

and their corporate friends who are benefitting by far the most.

The corporations in this case are BCTS, the provincial forest company, and Stella Jones. So any “consultation” or “negotiation” or “working together” is a one sided affair where the local interests have to come with cap in hand.

The process of this meeting was an example of this dynamic.

A standing-room only crowd listened for over an hour to what was a fait accompli re: logging the near forest, and how we should be grateful for any funds coming from the forestry investment fund (the colloquial name), without being accorded any time for questions from the floor.

The economic argument made by the forest licensees for how their industry benefits the local economy was based solely on their statistics on local jobs. Of course they had the forest companies at the top and indeed the local mill is a large employer.

Revelstoke Mountain Resort was recognized as an important employer especially seasonally.

Then they mentioned CP Rail and BC Hydro.

However, no mention was made about jobs that depend on the other forms of tourism. Indeed other types of tourism were not mentioned at all. To access the economic value of these other forms of tourism it is probably necessary to look at revenue generation. This could probably quite easily be done by a short survey

to be given to customers at restaurants and hotels or motels asking if they are visitors, if so, for what purpose, how long they’re here and where they are staying and eating.

What I think everyone knows in general is that snowmobiling in particular, cycling, Nordic skiing, hiking and visiting the Parks, heli-skiing and backcountry skiing are together probably far bigger generators of revenue than RMR or the local logging industry. In other words logging, the original and long term main industry of this province and this town has to move over and share the bench with tourism and not just with RMR. The implications of this are many, one of which I wrote about in an earlier letter to the editor on logging on Mt. MacPherson. The current land use plan, the Revelstoke Higher Level Plan, was written more than 10 years ago — probably hashed out 15 to 20 years ago. Times have changed immensely since then, and a new land use plan is direly needed, one which will recognize the several powerful driving economic forces of this town — not just logging. This would probably mean protecting the near forest around Revelstoke from resource extraction. The benefit to the whole by listening to the part in this case would be greater.

BCTS thanks open house attendees Editor, BC Timber Sales (BCTS) would like to thank members of the public who attended the open house at the Revelstoke Community Centre on January 13, and especially those who provided input.

Ken Gibson from Recreation Sites and Trails BC started with a presentation on how trails and other recreation amenities are part of the working forest. This was followed by an overview of the forest industry and forest management in the Revelstoke area by Pat McMechan of Stella Jones and Angus Woodman of Downie Timber, which underscored the importance of forestry as a major driver of the local economy. Robert Mohr then presented responses to questions pre-

pared by the Revelstoke Cycling Association. This was followed by an open house where BCTS presented maps indicwating the proposed harvest areas in the Mt. Macpherson area, and received input and written comments from the public.

BCTS will now develop a detailed harvest plan and will discuss it with the Revelstoke Cycling Association and the Revelstoke Nordic Club before it is finalized later this year. All input received from the public will also be considered. The harvest plan will be advertised as part of the bidding process in 2016, with harvesting expected to begin soon after.

BC Timber Sales staff would like to thank local forest industry representatives who partic-

ipated in the presentation and open house, including those from Stella Jones, Downie Timber, Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation, and woodlot WL1834. The refreshments provided by the Revelstoke Forest Workers Group were also welcome and much appreciated.

We look forward to working with stakeholder groups in the Mt. Macpherson area. The forest will continue to be managed sustainably as a renewable resource to support the Revelstoke economy.

Sincerely yours, Earl Hunt RPF Woodlands Supervisor, BC Timber Sales Revelstoke

CSRD directors unite to push for Trans-Canada improvement Barb Brouwer Black Press

Discussion and support were quick to flow at the Jan. 15 meeting of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District board when directors were asked to support a letter sent to Ottawa requesting a meeting and information on federal plans to upgrade the Trans-Canada Highway.

Newly elected Area A Rural Golden director Karen Cathcart's Jan. 6 letter to Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilkes expressed "deep concern" about the five fatalities that occurred on Highway 1 between Golden and Revelstoke over the Christmas season.

Cathcart noted she is aware highway upgrades have been discussed at the ministry level for many years and asked "What are your plans to upgrade the highway in the near future? Are you able to provide timelines for funding?"

The Area A director also asked for a meeting with Wilkes while he is in town this week.

"But this is a problem for all of us," she said.

Back in the Revelstoke mayor's chair afar a two-term hiatus, Mark McKee agreed, pointing out he is putting a presentation together for a meeting with Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone that is being arranged through East Kootenay MLA Bill Bennet.

McKee provided new directors with background information, explaining that when he last sat at the CSRD board, he was part of a group with representation from Cache Creek to the Alberta border who asked the province to put $10 million aside per year for TCH upgrades.

Acknowledging that while money for upgrades is not likely to appear for a "big fix" in the near future, he said there are operational issues that can be addressed to help reduce the number of accidents and fatalities.

"On average there are 15 fatal accidents and 220 injuries a year," he said, noting there were seven highway closures in the first seven days of the year and the Revelstoke highway rescue team was called out 12 times between Jan. 1 to 5.

"We had 67 road closures in our area last year and we're going to get a higher number of fatalities; it's getting horrendous."

McKee suggested electronic speed limit signs that could be changed to accommodate weather conditions would help to slow drivers down.

As well, he called for an investigation into whether current road contractors are working well enough to maintain the highway as safe as it can be.

McKee also expressed frustration with the number and length of road closures.

"When the highway is closed for eight to 10 hours, it is because the accident investigator has to travel from Kamloops or Kelowna and has to pass all the (stopped) traffic," he said.

"He should be living in Revelstoke, as should the coroner. That would take an eight-hour closure and reduce it immediately."

On Dec. 27 when two fatalities occurred west of Revelstoke, McKee says the highway was left open from Golden to Revelstoke and became jam- packed as westbound travellers continued to pour into the community.

"Churches were opening doors, groceries were running out of food as were restaurants. What happens when you have hundreds of people on the roads and it's minus 19?" he said. "Government has to start getting the message. I have met with RCMP, search and rescue and first responders and nobody is happy."

Sicamous Mayor Terry Rysz added his support, advising directors he has also set up some meetings to discuss the issues.

"I could go into a 20-minute discussion as well and we have to get

the whole corridor on-board," he said, noting the time to wait is long gone. "We have to yell and scream."

Salmon Arm Mayor Nancy Cooper also offered support saying "fatalities are not acceptable and neither are the road closures – we would like to be included."

"I support this enthusiastically," added Area C South Shuswap director Paul Demenok, who pointed out his area has had its share of fatal accidents this year as well.

Area E Rural Sicamous director and CSRD chair Rhona Martin told directors that before the

highway was four-laned near Malakwa in the 1980s, it was the scene of many bad accidents.

"Since 1987, there has been only one fatality and that was a trucker who had an aneurism, so you can see how four-laning saves lives."

Audit shows heli-skiing rules working Black Press

A Forest Practices Board report released today confirms that the Province’s memorandum of understanding with heli-ski and cat-ski operators is helping protect endangered mountain caribou.

In April 2014, the Province commissioned the Forest Practices Board to audit the ministry’s agreement with all 12 heli-ski and cat-ski operators that work in and around mountain caribou habitat. The memorandum of understanding has been in place since 2011 and is designed to minimize impacts on mountain caribou by the heli-ski industry. The memorandum establishes best practices for avoiding mountain caribou, as well as documenting encounters when they do occur.

The audit indicates that overall heli-ski and cat-ski operators have

demonstrated a high degree of diligence in adhering to the conditions of the memorandum of understanding. It also provides valuable advice on how operators can improve their reporting protocols, and these findings will help inform future efforts to sustain mountain caribou populations.

The memorandum of understanding has been renewed until 2017, and is one of a number of actions supporting the recovery of mountain caribou populations. Since 2007, the Province has prohibited industrial road building and logging, recreational snowmobiling and the sale of commercial recreation tenures on millions of hectares to protect and preserve caribou habitat.

This is an ongoing effort and requires long-term careful management of public and commercial recreation, habitat protection, and predator and prey management.

Inspection of Documents: Copies of all the relevant documents for the proposed Bylaw Amendments will be available for review in the Engineering and Development Services Department at City Hall, 216 Mackenzie Avenue, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays up until Tuesday, January 27, 2015.

Public Participation: At the hearing, the public shall be allowed to make representations to the Council respecting matters contained in the proposed bylaw. All persons who believe their interest is affected by the proposed bylaw shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard, or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaw.

Written submissions can be submitted to the Corporate Officer until the close of the Public Hearing.

All persons who prefer to have their submissions available to Council members in advance as part of the Public Hearing agenda package, should deliver their submissions to the Administration Department, 216 Mackenzie Ave., P.O. Box 170, Revelstoke, B.C. V0E 2S0 (Fax #: 250-837-4930 or admin@revelstoke.ca) before 12:00 noon on Tuesday January 27, 2015.

Please be advised that submissions received may be published on the City of Revelstoke website, with other associated information. No further submissions can be considered by Council after the conclusion of the Public Hearing.

If you have any questions or require further information, please contact 250-837-3637.

The Revelstoke Acrobats sent 12 athletes to the first competitive meet of the 2015 season, the three day Flip City Invitational in Langley, B.C. this past weekend. There was more than 500 athletes in attendance at this competition. The team did beyond amazing with every athlete that went making the finals.

There were 10 medals brought home, five of them being golds. Gold medal winners were Makenna Gallon, Kaylin Gale, Devyn Gale, Veronica Cadden and Josh Winger. Kaylin, Makenna and Josh made it on the podium in both their events.

Summer Novakowski earned a silver medal for her performance in double mini trampoline. Parker English also made it to the podium for a bronze medal in trampoline. Taila Gallon, coming off of an injury, did an outstanding job making the finals in trampoline and just missing out on her other event.

For Maya McDowell this was her first competition ever and she placed fifth in trampoline and was also first alternate for the double-mini trampoline final.

Alyssa Bollefer, Isabella Mendonca and Jenna Bollefer all moved up levels for this competitive season having to perform much hard routines. They all made the finals in their new level.

The coaches are so so proud of how the athletes performed in front of the judges and how hard the athletes have been working and training towards their goals.

So stoked that for such a small community we have the best trampoline athletes in the province!

Veronica Cadden competes in the trampoline at the Flip City competition in Langley, B.C., last weekend.

Lucas Myers brings back vaudeville with the Cromoli Brothers Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Nelson-based comedian and performer Lucas Myers is known for his one-man stage shows. He writes and produces multi-act plays in which he plays multiple characters.

This Friday, Jan. 23, he is bringing his one-man sketch show the Cromoli Brothers to the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre. The conceit is that the one of the brothers doesn't show up.

I spoke to Myers on the phone last week. Here's what he had to say: Who are the Cromoli Brothers?

The Cromoli Brothers are… I use the word vaudeville but I use it sparingly because I don't know how many people understand what it is. It's like sketch comedy, and it's very performance based.

Vaudeville was the original sitcom and stand-up comedy back in the 20s, before they had movies and TV. It was extremely popular and it's basic idea was it had to be entertaining.

I've taken that idea and I've put it through my own whacky filter. What the show is is it's 14 or 15 skits and they have titles like Sex, Nude Beach — I'm doing all the racy ones with you first — Dear Mary, I'm in a Gang Now; Pilot Talk, Cover song, Shot in the Dark… Some of them are obvious, some of them are, 'What's that one going to be about?' Heaven's Gate Webcam is another one They're on a poster board on stage and the audience gets to chose the order of the show. I perform one, then I bow. The audience puts up their hands and I ask what they want to see. The show's always a different order.

I grew up with Kids in the Hall and wacky absurdist comedy.

There's some political stuff in there but its still funny, it's satirical. There's also some heartfelt stuff in there, so I like to really mix it up.

Revelstoke Times Review: You've been doing The Cromoli Brothers for a few years. Can you talk about how it came to be and how you developed it over the years?

Lucas Myers: It started out as a project I was going to do with someone else. We were writing a grant and we needed a subject. He recommended something vaudevillian because burlesque was coming into the fore. I really enjoy doing something really theatrical, talking to the audience.

Almost stand-up comedy with songs.

Then it turned out we didn't get the grant but I wrote a whole bunch of material for it. I said, 'I love this material and I'm going to run with it.' That's how it started out.

It's developed in a sense I try

Lucas Myers is the Cromoli Brothers.

and keep stuff current. I try to write skits about things going on right now and there will be some of that in the show right now.

Is this a solo show?

It is. There is going to be a guest performer. At every stop I try to have a local performer come up and do one of the skits — whatever they want to do.

Are you playing multiple characters?

Yes. For example, Sex is a conversation between a headache and an orgasm. And there's tons of music. I say about half the skits are songs or include a song in them. I play ukelele, glockenspiel and melodica in the show. All the instruments you played in grade two.

You do solo shows. Why is that?

Because I live in Nelson and I've got a family. And it's really the easiest thing in terms of time.

I'm a mom-dad. My wife is a fulltime teacher so in terms of scheduling its way easier for my little brain. I have two hours available, both kids are in school, I can work on a show. In terms of touring, it's way, way easier if I only have my own schedule to worry about instead of three people we have to get together.

With my company Pilot CoPilot Theatre, I have produced a full play in Nelson, and it went great but it was challenging because three other people in the cast had kids. Just trying to get the rehearsal down is challenging.

In the future I intend to do more

full-length plays but its way, way easier just to be responsible for my own future and fate.

What's it like writing a bunch of skits with just yourself playing the characters, how do you approach that?

I walk around the room in circles and talk to myself. That's kind of my process. What I do is I think about things I'm interested in and things I'm curious about and that I think are funny and strange about the world. I try to find an interesting way to present that.

Nude Beach is sock puppets.

How can I get through that filter? There's a nude beach in Nelson and it's this hilarious milieu.

How can I present that without having to take my clothes off and in a way that's interesting and put another perspective on it? So I've got a bunch of sock puppets come out and that makes it fun.

You mentioned music, sock puppets, theatre — what else is there?

There's a cover song that I'm not going to reveal. People will have to pay money to see the cover song. And there is some social commentary. It's fun. It's all through that filter of let's be entertaining, let's be fun with this.

I do a couple of shows that are close to stand-up comedy. Its a funny line. I don't want to sell it as stand-up comedy, because it's not, but I also want people to know it's fun and a good time.

I don't know how you want to

sell it in the article, but it has that sensibility in terms of come have a good time, but hopefully there's some stuff in there to that's a bit thought provoking.

The Grizzlies competed in back-toback home games last weekend, in front of large, and fired-up crowds. Despite having the home ice advantage, they couldn’t pull out a win this weekend.

Friday night, the Grizzlies came close to a win against the Chase Heat, but they fell short losing 3-2 against their division rivals.

Chase were first to get on the board at 5:41 in the first period with a goal from Kaleb Boyle. Boyle added another for Chase shortly after, sending the Heat into the second with a two goal lead over Revelstoke.

The Grizzlies closed the gap on the Heat at 14:50 in the second when Michael Roberts scored, with help from Carter Huber.

The score was left at 2-1 in Chase's favour going into the third.

At 11:45 in the third, Boyle scored his third goal of the game for Chase on a power play, to restore their two goal lead.

Revelstoke responded with another goal from Roberts at 7:52. The Grizzlies fought hard in the last minutes, and put the pressure on Chase, but they couldn't add any more to the score, and lost 3-2.

Although his team lost, Coach Ryan Parent was still content with the way the Grizzlies played against Chase.

"I thought we played well on Friday.

We definitely out-chanced, and out-shot Chase, but their goaltender was definitely on his game that night," he said.

The Sicamous Eagles were at the forum on Saturday for another division matchup.

The Grizzlies were down for a lot of the game, but managed to come back, but the Eagles soared to victory in double-overtime, beating the grizzlies 6-5.

The Grizzlies opened the scoring at 16:02 in the first when Tyler Chavez-Leech capitalized on a powerplay. Sicamous dominated the remainder of the first scoring three goals in a row. The Grizzlies went into the second trailing the Eagles 3-1.

Sicamous continued their run with a fourth goal on a power play at 15:12 in the second. The Grizzlies broke the Eagles' streak at 13:29 with a powerplay goal from Chavez-Leech. Assists went to Roberts and Kenny Batke. Ethan Waitzner added a third for Revelstoke at 5:30 on a powerplay with help from Brady Mende and Jeff Bochon.

The score was left at 4-3 for Sicamous as they went into the third.

The Grizzlies tied it up early in the third when Chavez-Leech completed his hat trick.

Local player Nii Noi Tetteh scored at 17:04 to give his team a one goal lead, with assists from Bochon and new defenceman Levi Morin. The Eagles evened the score back up at 12:09. Neither team could take the lead back, and the game went into overtime.

After a hard fought and exciting first period of overtime, the score was still tied, and a winner would have to be determined in a second period of 3 on 3 overtime.

Despite having countless chances to win it, the Grizzlies lost the game when Nathan Grieve scored with only 34 seconds left to give the Eagles a 6-5 win.

Parent was a little disappointed with the team's play on Saturday, especially in the first period, but he was happy to see them make a comeback.

"The work rate wasn't there in the first.

They did however manage to take the game into overtime, and secure that one point which was good to see," Parent said.

The captain of the Grizzlies, Kenny Batke also shared his thoughts on the team's play against Chase, and Sicamous.

"I thought the effort was there, but the execution wasn't," he said.

The Grizzlies are currently sitting in last place in their division with 37 points, six points back from the 100 Mile House Wranglers.

Parent shared what he thinks the team needs to do to make the playoffs at this point. "We have 12 games to go, so we can get a possible 24 points. It is important that we secure most of those points, and we don't give any up like we did on Saturday," he said.

Batke also weighed in on the subject.

"The playoffs start now for us, because every one of our games count, and we just have to start winning," he said.

The Grizzlies had another home game on Tuesday, Jan. 20, against the Kamloops Storm, after press time. On Friday the Princeton Posse will be in town, then the Grizzlies are back on the road on Saturday when they will travel to Chase to face off against the Heat. On Tuesday, Jan. 27, the Grizzlies host the Kelowna Chiefs to make up for a game that was postponed due to an avalanche closure on the Trans-Canada.

Nordic Club shines at Western Canadian Championships MATT SMIDER

Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club

The Revelstoke Nordic Ski Team competed at the Haywood NorAm Western Canadian Championships held in Canmore from January 15-18. Twelve junior skiers represented Revelstoke at the event, attended by more than 500 athletes from across the western provinces, Yukon and the Northwest Territories. The race courses at the Canmore Nordic Centre are notoriously difficult, particularly the steep ascents designed to challenge the world's top skiers. Day time temperatures hovered slightly below zero throughout the event, with intermittent cloud and consistent westerly winds.

Revelstoke skiers faired superbly at the event, particularly impressive since only three of the 12 skiers had previously attended a Western Championships. In addition, the Canmore Nordic Centre is an exciting venue for a competition due to the high number of elite athletes training and racing, commented 14 year-old Revelstoke skier Elizabeth Elliott.

The event was combined with an Alberta Cup on Saturday and Sunday to include younger age groups. All categories had deep fields, several in excess of 40 competitors.

Revelstoke's Kate Granstrom placed 20th in Sunday's Free Technique Mass Start and said that with over 50 competitors starting together it was a "thrilling event".

Revelstoke skiers consistently placed within the top half of their categories, with several noteworthy performances: Friday, classic interval start — 1st - Emily Suchy, Para Female 3km — 6th - Simon Blackie, Midgets Boys 3.3km — 8th - Beth Granstrom, Juvenile Girls 5km

NORDIC CLUB HOSTING BC CUP RACE Revelstoke athletes will be welcoming skiers to their home trails for this weekend's BC Cup event on Mount Macpherson. More than 200 of the province's top skiers will participate in the two-day competition.

On Saturday, racers will compete in a classic technique time trial, beginning individually at 15 second intervals. Races are scheduled to start at 11 a.m.

Sunday's race is a mass start free technique, where all skiers of the same age category start en masse. Races are set to start at 10 a.m.

The race means the Mount Macpherson trails will be busy all weekend. Skiers are asked to ski after 2 p.m. in order to not interfere with the event.

The parking lot, lodge and stadium area at Mount Macpherson will be in use both days but extra parking and a free shuttle will be provided at the feed store at Highway 23 South and the Trans-Canada Highway.

For more information on the event, please visit www.revelstokenordic.org.

Alpine team at Schweitzer, Rossland Mary Clayton Revelstoke Ski Club

The Revelstoke Ski Club racers were on the road again over the past week with the FIS racers in Schweitzer Basin, Idaho from Jan 8 – 13 and the U16 racers at Red Mountain from Jan 15 – 18.

Fresh from a training camp in Panorama, the FIS group hit Schweitzer ready for four days of slalom and GS races. This is a new venue for Revelstoke racers, and the skiers report the terrain and snow was very good.

Alexis Welch races at Red Mountain in Rossland, B.C. Michael Welch/Revelstoke Ski Club

The races started very strongly, with Emily Unterberger placing sixth in the first slalom. In the two GS races, Jamie Park came in fifth and fourth.

“We are in the beginning of the season and looking forward to the next two weeks of great training,” said Coach Gregor Druzina. “All the athletes had some good sections and runs they were satisfied with. We are working on bringing the skills and confidence they show in training, to race day.”

Our U16 group comprises two racers — Alexis Welch and Bergen

Schmidt. Together with Coach Mike Wilken they travelled to Rossland to take part in the second of the BC Alpine Open series of races. This is a province-wide, three-event race series for U16 and older, so the field is quite deep, with FIS racers and provincial team members competing.

Despite less-than optimal racing conditions, Bergen was in the top 30 with a 23rd place finish on Saturday.

Alexis placed 41st, while fighting off illness.

Eileen Upper It is with sadness we announce the death of Eileen Lucille Upper, 92, at the Queen Victoria Hospital on Thursday, January 8, 2015. Born September 14, 1922 to Martha and Herb Fischer of Sidmouth, BC, Eileen was the fifth of seven sisters. Reunions of the sisters over the years were delightful occasions of uproarious laughter. Eileen grew up on the family farm then left for Toronto with three older sisters to work during the war. Eileen returned home to Revelstoke where in 1946 she married Martin Upper and became a homemaker and mother of two. Eileen was an amazing cook; her specialties being the most wonderful bread and cinnamon buns. Neighbours were sure to drop in when the aroma of fresh bread was wafting out into the back yard.

In 1957 Eileen was introduced to golf and lived her passion for the sport for over 55 years. She had many accomplishments: Club Champion, Ladies Captain, Junior Development Co-ordinator, Zone Rules and Handicap Chairman, Tournament Chair for the BC Senior’s Golf Tournament and was one of the key players in starting the Two Lady Team Golf Tournament in Revelstoke.

Eileen was always the ‘go to’ person at the Golf Course. If you wanted to know anything regarding golf and tournaments she was the one to ask. As any of her golfing friends would attest, the best part of Eileen’s game was putting, and she was tough to beat. In 1999 the Revelstoke Golf Club presented Eileen with a lifetime membership. She was incredibly honored by this award.

She was also a lifetime member of the Pythian Sisters, active member of the Revelstoke Seniors, an avid bowler, card player extraordinaire, enthusiastic bingo player, a good friend, wonderful mother, grandma and great grandmother.

Eileen in the past few years became very connected to the Revelstoke United Church. She would always comment on how wonderful everyone made her feel when she attended church. She thought very highly of Reverend Ken and enjoyed listening to him sing.

Eileen is survived by two sisters Thelma Soltice (Les) and Joan Frank of Calgary; her children Wayne (Bernie) of Victoria and Heather Duchman of Revelstoke; grandchildren Craig Upper (Lisa) of Nelson, Jennifer Duchman of Fort St John and Wade Duchman (Marianne) of Golden; great grandchildren Eli and Koby Upper, Micah and Jacob Duchman and many nieces and nephews.

Eileen’s family extended their deepest gratitude to Dr. McLeod and the staff of the Queen Victoria Hospital for their care of, and kindness to, our mother/ grandma.

A Celebration of Life will be held in May, the date to be announced, at the Revelstoke Golf Course as requested by Eileen. In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Eileen may be made to the Revelstoke Golf Club– Deck Enhancement Project or donations to The Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation at www.kellyshiresfoundation.org.

Messages of sympathy may be sent to Eileen’s family by viewing her obituary at: www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com. Cremation arrangements were in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.
