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 some-thing 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; res-idents wondered why the situation couldn’t be managed better.
City engineering director Mike Thomas said staff were explor-ing 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 under-standing 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 biologi-
cal 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 sys-tem 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
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 tax-payers’ dollars,” he told the crowd. “Hopefully we can get some-thing 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 deter-mined. That spending will require political support. The protest-ers 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 tack-led 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.
Revelstoke Railway Museum volunteer James Walford gives the velocipede a whirl at Railway Days on Saturday. He’s as-sisted 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.

The temporary plastic wrap covering the dome on the Revelstoke Courthouse roof will remain in place for several more weeks, possibly even two months.
The scaffolding and plastic is in place to encapsulate the worksite while contractor Mid-City Roo� ng repairs the fail-ing dome roof with a new rubber coating.
After the scaffolding and plastic wrap were installed, sandblast testing on the dome turned up concentrations of lead in the paint, meaning WorkSafeBC had to be called in. The provincial work-safety organization now requires an industrial hygienist and a hazard abatement program.
City of Revelstoke public works director Darren Komono-ski said it would have been dif� cult to discover the lead paint before work started. “It changes the enclosure, it changes the disposal of the waste material, it changes the personal pro-tective equipment for the workers,” he said. “So, there’s been some delays undoubtedly, but as soon as this came up from a WorkSafeBC perspective, we had to put the brakes on.”
That means added time and cost. Mid-City bid $200,245 for the project and a late-July completion date was sched-uled.
Now, the costs are rising, and the completion date is pegged at early- to mid-October. Komonoski said he believes the project will still come in under the $375,000 budgeted for the repairs.
Work is on hold until the new work-plan is sorted out. Workers are scheduled to return on Sept. 3.
The dome has been repainted more than once in its 100-year history. The lead is in one of the paint coatings, not the original roof material, Komonoski said.
Currently, the city is working with several different con-tractors to carry out the hazard abatement program. “I’m con� dent that we will meet our budget and should be under [$375,000].”

Work is progressing pretty much on schedule for the Habitat for Humanity project to recon-struct a Home for the Hunts – a pilot project with the Revelstoke Community Housing Soci-ety.
Demolition was completed on Saturday, Aug. 10 after volunteers spent more than a day jack-hammering 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 Pau-line’s needs as the symptoms of ALS/Lou Geh-rig’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
walls were made of shiplap with cedar shavings for insu-lation, making it very time consuming to keep the out-side walls intact and re-insu-late. And local builders told us it would be much cheaper to work on a new floor sur-face to put in the new walls for wider, wheelchair acces-sible doors and halls. Also, we found the old floor was not attached to the founda-tion.”
The team continues to be thrilled by donations from local and out of town com-panies. To date Revelstoke Equipment Rentals has pro-vided disposal bins and scaf-folding, Black Tie Properties have made their equipment available, Home Hardware and Rona Glacier Building Supplies have donated sup-plies or provided supplies at cost and Cooper's has helped with food for the volunteers.
The number of volun-teers has also been incredi-ble. ”We have about 60 vol-unteers signed up and about 20 have spent time on-site during the first month of the project – often in over-30 degree heat – and many
keep coming back,” said Joel Olsen, the Volunteer Coordi-nator for the project. ‘We’ve had a great mix of volunteers who are experienced with building, and people who are there to do [things like]
clean-up [and] nail pulling.”People can sign up to vol-
unteer, or make a finan-cial donation via the project website at homeforthehunts.com.
Over the next month the
building schedule includes creating the foundation for the small addition, fram-ing the floor, walls and roof and putting on the siding and roofing. The team is ready for another busy month.

The dangers of excess alcohol consumption are very evident in Russia where 20 year old men have only at 63% chance of reaching the age of 60. Russians consume about 18 litres of pure alcohol per year. That’s twice the Canadian average. The alcohol of choice is vodka.
A loss of a sense of taste is really a loss of sense of smell. Taste buds on our tongue help to
distinguish sweet, bitter, acidic and salty foods. However it’s the odours of the food wafting up the nose from the outside from the inside via the mouth that enhances food taste. Causes of the loss of sense of smell can be temporary (colds, flu, hayfever), fixable (nasal polyps) or due to more serious illness. See your doctor if you are concerned.
Sixty years ago the
publication Nature published the structure of DNA. It took 50 years for scientists to completely decode DNA through the international Human Genome Project, thus creating a totally new science, genomics. Many compare this discovery with the Industrial Revolution in the 18th Century and how it changed the world. Genomics may also change the world with cures for many diseases.

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 west-bound lanes and struck an oncom-ing 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 call-ing the head-on collision prevent-able.
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 vol-umes 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 col-lisions 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 Wat-son of the Trans-Canada East Traf-fic Services at 250-344-2221.
The collision closed the Trans-Canada Highway for over six hours on a busy summer Saturday; traffic through the section was slowed for many hours after that as the back-log of traffic cleared.

In a report to the City of Revelstoke finance committee, city finance director Graham Inglis notes the city’s general oper-ating expenditures have jumped by 49 per cent between 2000 to 2012.
The increase includes general operat-ing expenditures as well as water and sewer operating costs, but excludes many third-party 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 taxpay-ers now combine to cover 52.3 per cent of the pie (a 12.9 per cent increase). Residen-tial taxpayers now cover 30.1 per cent (a 6.5 per cent increase), while business prop-erty taxes fund 22.3 per cent (a 6.5 per cent increase).
The changes highlight a double-whammy; 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.

CSRD lays out rules for marijuana grow ops
Want to start up a legal grow op near Revelstoke in the future? You’ll need a lot of land and con-stant 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 govern-ment introduced new rules gov-erning the production of medic-inal 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 condi-tions 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 medi-cal marijuana facilities.
An OCP amendment and zon-ing bylaw amendment would be required before developing any facility.
Area B is the first region of the CSRD to have a medical mari-juana 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 Mari-juana Society, said the rules will make it so only big producers can manufacture medicinal mar-ijuana.
“It kind of isolates it a little bit more who can do it,” he told the Times Review. Only people or businesses with the where-withal to invest in the land and facilities required will be able to run a grow-op, unlike the cur-rent 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 any-one 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 presen-tation on the bylaw at the start of each open house.
The bylaw will now be sent out to senior levels of govern-ment for referral. It is possible elements of the bylaw could be changed based on their feedback.

Nine local arts & culture projects receive funding from CKCA
Seven Revelstoke artists and organizations received funding from the Columbia Kootenay Cul-tural Alliance.— Jacquie Pendergast: $2,000 for her project Songs of My Life;— Bruce Thomas: $2,500 for his project Next Passage Out;
— Jennifer Crockford: $1,800 for belly dancing choreography and training;— Angela Mowbray: $1,500 for a front porch concert series;— The Bygone Era Entertainment Society: $1,500 for its mural proj-ect alongside the Nickelodeon Museum;— Revelstoke Museum & Archives:
$10,000 for heritage garden enhancements, $20,000 for artifact storage upgrades, and $4,000 for its multicultural exhibit;— Revelstoke Heritage Railway Society: $20,000 for 20th anniver-sary infrastructure upgrades to the railway museum.
CKCA administers arts and culture funding programs for the
Columbia Basin Trust. This year, $706,000 in funding was given to more than 170 arts, culture and heritage projects throughout the Columbia Basin.
“The CKCA Steering Commit-tee was pleased to be able to sup-ply CBT funding to good projects all across the Basin,” said Jacquie Hamilton, CKCA Chair. "We hope
cultural organizations will start thinking about activities that will be happening between June 2014 and May 2015 and planning their applications now for the next fund-ing cycle.”

Local builder launches campaign to help High River
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 poli-cies written by insurnce companies have created loopholes where peo-ple 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 some-one 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 sus-tainable. In Revelstoke, Tree Con-struction's most recognizable proj-ects 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 Sus-tainable River, a crowd-funding campaign that aims to raise money through online donations. "With the hopes we can amass a large follow-ing of like-minded individuals that would like to see a town rebuilt sus-tainably 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 web-site and a page on the website Fun-dRazr. Still in its infancy, the cam-paign 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 evac-uated 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 res-idents 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 peo-ple's homes.
"As they're rotting, the costs to fix, repair and replace become so much more," he said. "The com-pensation that would be provided by an insurance company isn't even close to the amount people are actu-ally 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 pas-sive 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 dif-ferent solution than people flooded from overland water."
Hoffart said sustainable building was a passion of his and he plans on attending Boston Architectural Col-lege 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, Hof-fart 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.
For more information, or to make a donation, visit www.sus-tainableriver.ca.

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 enter-taining cartoon. This is what good satire does, it sparks debate.
Rail safety is on the high-light reel right now due to the tragic accident and horri� c loss of life in Quebec. Many years ago a tragic accident in Hin-ton, Alberta sparked a similar debate and investigation which resulted in many operational changes on both major rail-ways in Canada. In the Hinton, Alberta accident, it was discov-ered that employee fatigue was the most signi� cant factor that caused this event to occur. It is unclear at this point what spe-ci� c causes contributed to the Quebec tragedy. I would sug-gest 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 employ-ees are pleased with the safety and operation of CP Rail under the guidance of Hunter Harri-son. A previous news article in this paper would seem to sug-gest otherwise. I as well would opinion that the safety on the
railways is not being enhanced under Mr Harrison’s leader-ship.
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 manage-ment of employees speci� -cally in the running trades. One must keep in mind that running trade employees have no speci� c days off and are required to work at all hours. Under Mr. Harrison, engineers and conductors are now work-ing 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 termi-nal waiting for a return trip. To suggest that this is leading to a safer operation is a fantasy at best.
In reality most employ-ees now operate with the fear of dismissal if they miss work or delay a train for any rea-son. Once, near the end of my career, I found myself in a posi-tion where I felt I could not take a call to work and oper-ate 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 investi-gated, and then disciplined by the company. It took a call to Transport Canada, and investi-gation of this event to get the corporation to back off and clear my record. This is the reality of what is actually hap-pening 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 oper-ate 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 Cana-dian Municipalities (FCM) have now formed a commit-tee to look at rail safety in Can-ada. Many communities, Rev-elstoke included, have rail sys-tems 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 develop-ing safety legislation? It is my opinion that they are not ful� ll-ing this mandate.
In the aftermath of the acci-dent in Hinton, Alberta, the government of the time forced the railways to adopt sweeping
changes to the work/rest rules for running trades employ-ees. Sadly, it has not gone far enough, or been effective in mitigating fatigue of employ-ees. 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 com-pany looked at going to a dif-ferent 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 Hin-ton, 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 differ-ent opinions and views on this.

Baby Neve Beisel passes away
Baby Neve Beisel passed away in her sleep on Thursday, Aug. 8.
Neve spent most of her short life in the hospital as she expe-rienced difficulties breathing and eating.
She had been at home in Rev-elstoke for five days when she passed away. She was only four months and 12 days old.
The community rallied to sup-port her and her family as they spent months traveling between Revelstoke and Vancouver Chil-dren's Hospital. A fundraiser held last month raised $8,500 for the family.
On Friday, Aug. 16, the fam-ily, 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.

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 Mack-enzie Avenue in downtown Rev-elstoke.
I am writing to you over a con-cern I have. I understand a pro-posed development is before the regional district and B.C. Gov-ernment for approval. The devel-opment is a year-round resort to be located at Greeley just east of Revelstoke.
I would like to voice my sup-port for this development. As a lifelong resident and a busi-ness owner, I see this as an asset
to both the city of Revelstoke and Area B of the regional dis-trict. 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 econ-omy and people will move out.
As a businessperson that depends on tourism, I benefit more to support tourism in the Revelstoke area. Without it, Rev-elstoke has a grim future. I under-stand 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 crip-pled 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 pro-tected. Is this development really threatening the water to Revel-stoke?
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 devel-opment.
Karen Powers, Revelstoke

REVELSTOKE TIMES Review
Climate change: Hotter, drier summers are our future
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 dan-ger into the extremes for more than a week and forced logging compa-nies 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, com-pared to the 1961–1990 average. A three-degree change in temper-ature 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 fre-quently 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 thun-derstorms, 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-
dicts the situation to get much worse over the years, with the fire season lasting one to two weeks longer, and the wildfire danger rat-ing becoming higher. Fire starts are predicted to increase by anywhere from 21 per cent to almost triple by 2100.
“The hazard conditions start ear-lier 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 cata-strophic and is triggered when con-ditions have reached extreme for several weeks. That could be nec-essary 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 length-ier, 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 Cop-perthwaite, 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 south-facing operations in the spring and fall,” he said. “We’ll try to concen-trate 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 com-munity water systems. Water short-ages in the summer, when demand is highest, will become more com-mon, and larger reservoirs will be needed to store more water in the spring to make up for the drier con-ditions.
“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 conser-vation really aggressively and seri-ously.”
The city’s draft Greeley Creek Watershed Source Protection Plan looks at the impact of cli-mate 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 stream-flow, and there could be associated affects to water quality,” the plan states.
There is a positive side to this – notably an increase in growing-degree days, or days that it is possi-ble 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 dif-ferent crops,” said Pearce. “I don’t think that that’s been a huge adjust-ment 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 boat-ers and swimmers. Don’t get too excited – Lake Revelstoke is a gla-cier-fed reservoir who’s water is constantly being replenished, so it probably won’t warm up too much.

Firefighters in Glacier National Park are letting a fire in the Bea-ver Valley burn as part of a wildfire management strategy.
The Times Review spoke to Simon Hunt, the fire management officer for Mt. Revelstoke and Gla-cier National Parks, about the wild-fire situation in the parks. Outside the parks, fire fighters have been battling a series of spot fires caused
by dry weather and recent tunder-storms.
The Bald Hills fire is about 75 hectares in size and is located about 20 kilometres south of the Trans-Canada Highway in the Beaver Val-ley area. It was caused by a light-ning 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
Cedars Boardwalk in Mt. Revel-stoke National Park. On Aug. 10, another fire was spotted in Mt. Rev-elstoke 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
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 man-agement objectives and ecological objectives for this Bald Hills fire," Hunt said.
The fire is located near the east-ern 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 com-pletely 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-Can-ada Highway.
The fires help with risk manage-ment and with restoring ecologi-cal 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 Rev-elstoke 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 inci-dents,” said Jordan Turner, a fire information officer with the South-east 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 spec-tacular lightning displays to Revel-stokians. 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 Jump-ing 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 mod-erate throughout most of the south-east, 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.

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 con-tact with the ground they were rot-ting,” said Claire Sieber, the cul-tural resource expert for Mount Rev-elstoke 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 sec-ond 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 Revel-stoke community destinations,” said Sieber. “Once it was designated as a park, we needed to have a war-den presence out there to protect the flora and fauna.”
The cabin is now designated a federal heritage building due its his-torical 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 resto-ration 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 deteri-orated, 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 chink-ing – 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 every-one to go and have a look because the cabin looks fabulous now,” said Sieber.
“It smells a whole lot better,” added spokesperson Jacolyn Dani-luck.

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 expe-rience that’s going on as we’re living each day. We have emo-tions, 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 driv-ing and it was back to back traf-fic and you’re stuck in your car in a snow storm. You can be frus-trated, 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 expe-rience 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 plan-ning 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 contrib-ute.
It’s the same process anyone can use anywhere in the world. It doesn’t have to be an organiza-tional leader...
There are two things that dif-ferentiate 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 our-selves, 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 remem-ber they are a good person and there are things they do like about themselves. When they go into the next steps – values and pur-pose and what their vision is for their life, then they have a dif-ferent 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 devel-opment 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 bet-ter 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 writ-ten 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.

Revelstoke native Tana Hemin-sley recently published her first book, Awaken your authentic lead-ership. The book presents a step-by-step process to cultivate ones unique style leadership based your own val-ues 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 Hemin-sley about her book, which is available for sale at Grizzly Books. The inter-view has been edited for length. For the full transcript, visit www.revelsto-ketimesreview.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 ther-apists 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 bet-ter inside of a company or an organi-zation, 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 influ-ences 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 val-ues 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 deteri-orating... 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 pat-terns 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

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 after-noon.
“Focus group!” he recalled. Dressed in a los muer-
tos skull T-shirt, scuffed vin-tage leather flats, black jeans
and topped with tangled, oily brown hair, Garton doesn’t fit the image of a marketing-focused 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 mes-sage 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 diffi-cult 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 refin-ing for their upcoming make-or-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 adjec-tives (samba, rockabilly, folk,
Balkan, old-time, punk, cab-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 artis-tic 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 Rev-elstoke on Sunday). All of the musicians have diverse musi-cal 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.

The Okanagan Film Com-mission has confirmed that Walt Disney Pictures will begin filming Tomorrowland in the Enderby, Grindrod and Arm-strong areas Monday. The film, which stars George Clooney and Hugh Laurie, will be shot off and on locally until mid-Sep-tember.
“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 Summer-land, with the Okanagan Film Commission.
“We will definitely see an increase in popularity for film-ing in the Okanagan after the release of this film on Dec. 12, 2014. Being in the company of as many Oscar-winning film-makers and actors is also a high-light in my career so far.”
The production was becom-ing 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 appar-ently focus in a corn field.
The publicist for Tomorrow-land 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 Grin-drod.
“We’re getting a lot of atten-tion right now,” said Peard.
McCune believes a big-bud-get film will have a number of long-term benefits for the com-munity, particularly by increas-ing the region’s profile.
“As they get the filming going, it will be really excit-ing,” 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.

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 court-ordered penalty.
Energy Minister Bill Bennett said Friday the settlement by Pow-erex won’t drive up electricity rates in B.C., although part of the pay-ment 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 unpre-dictable result in the U.S. court sys-tem,” 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 law-suits 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
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 “life-time’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-mil-lion 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 com-ing years and possibly cut into gov-ernment 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 settle-ment 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 Con-way that the deal was important to preserve BC Hydro’s business rela-tionship 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 out-come.
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.

stuck with this extremely large palette and we’re trying to refine it to a small thing, which is a dif-ficult challenge,“ explains per-cussionist Biffard. “Ultimately, I think it’s the only way to come up with something fresh...”
While we talk, an eastbound train passes through the long Far-well bend, its wheels sending a
chorus of shrill, wailing shrieks across the park.
“If we can drive our train all going in the same direction, and the four of us can contribute to create something new, I think we have a lot of potential to do that,” Biffard finishes. What to expect: Energetic, arty, talented musicians known for dramatic presentations and occasional acrobatics. A musi-
cal journey through 20th Century musical genres driving towards a unique fusion. Accordion, horns, upright bass, four-part vocal harmonies, contemporary folk movement with a punky tinge. They’re a dance band, so be ready to dance. Bring your boas, bow ties and dancing shoes. Where can I find out more about the band? The Internet, my friend. Their website has a
full compliment of videos, down-loads, photos and more at full-service mariaintheshower.com. What else is new? The show is being hosted by Revelstoke native Angie McLeod, who’s recently launched a business as a promoter. She’s also got a new Revelstoke arts-focused website in development. McLeod is also partnering with other local pro-moters to bring a classical music concert series to Revelstoke in 2014, although that’s still in the development stage.
Have I heard Maria in the Shower before? Several CBC BC radio programs have featured Maria songs over the past several years. Maybe you’ve heard them play Don’t Build a Wall ‘Round the Graveyard (Ain’t no one tryin’ to get in).Anything else I should know? The show’s at the Traverse, starting at 9:30 p.m. on Friday, August 23. Advance tickets are $15 at Chantilly and Mountain Meals.

Kevin Mackay exits revolving door as Revelstoke Grizzlies head coach
With main camp set to open Wednesday, Aug. 21, the Revel-stoke Grizzlies are again without a coach.
Kevin Mackay, 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 rea-sons, he told the Times Review.
"Unfortunately, I maybe jumped a little too quick," he said, declin-ing to go into any speci� cs.
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
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 Wednes-day, Aug. 21, the Grizzlies are once again searching for a coach. Hen-drickson 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.

Aquaducks win 17 medals at swimming provincials
The B.C. Provincial Summer Swim-ming 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 mul-tiple best times. The medal count for the team leaving Coquitlam was 17, including the regional relay medals. Winners were:

Neve Elsie Beisel
Neve Elsie Beisel passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 8th, 2013 at the age of 4 months. Born in Vernon, B.C. on March 27, 2013. Her short life was filled with many challenges as she spent most of her life in hospitals but each day with her was a joy and her smile would brighten the toughest days. Her family was fortunate to have her home for five wonderful days before her passing.
A Memorial Reception was held at The Mid-Mountain Lodge on Mt. Mackenzie (Revelstoke Mountain Resort) on Friday afternoon, August 16th with family and close friends.
Neve is survived by her parents, Cory and Whitney, her big brother Ford, grandparents: Robert Beisel, Cindy Beisel, Mary and Bill Kendrick and aunts: Kelli (Rob) and Ainsley (Dian).
Although Neve’s life was but a moment in time, her impact on the community will last a lifetime. The family will be forever grateful to everyone for their endless love and support during her brief but beautiful life.

Cross-country race series wraps up with race at RMR
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 per-formance.
On the women’s side the win-ner was Liz Kozak, who won based on her consistent participa-tion in races and in trail mainte-nance days.
While the races are com-petitive, the overall points are designed to not only encourage placing well, but also taking part in Revelstoke Cycling Associa-tion trail days. Racers received bonus points for being young (U19) or old (40+) and for partic-

ipation in trail days. There were also bonus points for taking part in every race and for winning the most races.
The � nal 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 Fault-line loop counterclockwise, pedal past the day lodge, conquer the grueling climb up the Sunshine Trail to the Big Easy bike trail, ride that trail clock-wise, and then complete a second lap of Faultline before descending down the mountain to the � nish line outside the Rockford restaurant.
Lee English was the � rst one up the climb, with Brendan MacIntosh in hot pursuit. Those two would stay in the lead throughout the race, with MacIn-tosh 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 � nished third, fol-lowed by Bart Jarmula and Rich Ham-ilton.
Only three women entered the race, and two were hampered by � at tires. Carol Prince � nished � rst, while Emily Unterberger had to walk her bike down the mountain after her � at. Kozak � nished 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 � nished second with 87 points and Prince, who won four out of six races, was third with 81 points.
While the cross-country race sea-son is � nished, the road race series has been extended with the addition of two races. The � rst 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 � nal 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 logis-tical 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.
Lee English leads Kellen Viznaugh up the climb up the mountain road near the start of the � nal cross-country mountain bike race at Revelstoke Mountain Resort on Wednesday. English would maintain his lead throughout the race.
