It takes two linesman to split up a skirmish between Revelstoke Griz-zlies’ defenceman Michael Lenoury and Golden Rockets’ forward Travis Kelley during the New Years Eve Showdown at the Forum last week. The result was a four-person pile-up on the ice, and 10 minute misconducts handed to both players by referee Cydnie Rice.

Medical Services Plan premiums, elec-tricity bills and vehicle insurance rates are up in 2016, reviving criticism of the B.C. government's constant boast about keep-ing taxes low.

MSP premiums are up from $144 to $150 as of Jan. 1, for a family of three earning more than $30,000 a year. For a single person in the same income group, the rate goes from $72 to $75, with lower rates for lower incomes down to $22,000 a

year, where premiums drop to zero.B.C. is now the only province in Canada

with a health care fee, and it has risen about 40 per cent since 2010. Premier Christy Clark has defended the fee as a sig-nal to citizens about the enormous cost of providing health care.

BC Hydro rates have been politically dic-tated since Clark and Energy Minister Bill Bennett intervened to cap rate increases in 2013. Hydro rates jumped nine per cent in 2014, followed by annual increases of six, four, 3.5 and three per cent in the 10-year rate plan. Starting with the pro-

posed four per cent increase in 2016, the independent B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) is reviewing if rate increases can be lower than what is capped in the rate plan.

Insurance Corporation of B.C. basic ve-hicle insurance went up by 5.5 per cent on Nov. 1, an increase still subject to re-view by the BCUC. That works out to an increase of $3.70 per month added for the average driver.

ICBC had proposed a 6.7 per cent in-crease to cover increasing costs of personal injury claims and fraud, but the province

gave it permission for a one-time transfer of $450 million from its optional insur-ance business to subsidize the basic rate.

In a year-end interview, NDP leader John Horgan stopped short of promising to eliminate MSP premiums, but he called it a "regressive tax" that would be part of a broad review of B.C. taxation fairness if he wins the 2017 election.

The Canadian Taxpayers' Federation says the people who benefit from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's promised mid-dle-class tax cut will see most of those sav-ings eaten up by provincial and municipal tax increases.

Trudeau vowed to reduce the federal income tax bracket between $45,282 and $90,563 from 22 per cent to 20.5 per cent, and increase the rate for income over $200,000 from 29 to 33 per cent. The change would provide up to $2,000 in tax relief for middle-income earners, with dual-income households benefiting most, CTF federal director Aaron Wudrick says.

Municipal taxes are expected to increase across the province in 2016, with local councils preparing to set budgets for the new fiscal year that starts April 1. Port Alberni has proposed a seven per cent in-crease, and the CTF says it hasn't found any B.C. municipalities yet that propose to freeze or lower property tax rates.

With the rapid rise in property prices continuing in parts of the Lower Main-land, the B.C. Assessment Authority sent out 37,000 letters in December, warning single-family homeowners to brace for a big jump in their assessed value.

When measuring cholesterol levels, doctors often calculate a “risk ratio” when interpreting results of your cholesterol tests. This is simply a ratio of the total cholesterol (TC) to the HDL cholesterol (i.e. TC divided by HDL). Ratios of less than 3.5 are thought to put one at a lower risk for coronary heart disease.

People that are truly allergic to gluten have celiac’s disease. A component of gluten, called gliadin is what causes the main problem. Researchers in Alberta are working on a supplement

which will bind with gluten in the stomach and prevent the symptoms of celiac disease. The hope is that the product will be available in about three years after further testing is done.

With so many smartphone cameras in pockets or purses today, it is very easy to snap a picture of a medical condition like a rash or mole. Even a short movie can be taken then shown to your doctor, particularly if the problem comes and goes. It’s a good example how taking a “selfie” can be of benefit to your

health.

If losing weight is on your list of resolutions for the new year, think of this: even a 5 to 10% loss in weight will result in health benefits. The secret to weight loss is to lose it slowly and steadily and to maintain the lifestyle you followed to lose it in the first place.

Revelstoke average home value up by 10 per cent in 2016

Property values increased in Revelstoke for the second straight year in a row in 2015, BC Assessment announced Monday morning.

The annual assessment roll was published Monday morning and they showed that the value of all residential property in Revelstoke went up by 3.4 per cent, while the value of commercial properties inched up by a mere 0.81 per cent.

However, the average price of a single-family home went up by 9.8 per cent, to $325,000 from $296,000.

Ramaish Shah, the deputy assessor for Kootenay-Columbia, said the difference is because the first number includes all residential buildings, including apartment buildings and other multi-family dwellings.

"It's a larger summary than just looking at single-family properties," he said.

The total value of all properties in Revelstoke increased by almost $70 million to $1,482,708,710 in 2016, from $1,415,538,000 in 2015.

It's the first significant increase in home values since 2010; last year property values went up by only third of a percent.

Property values are up throughout the Kootenay-Columbia region, which Revelstoke was moved to this year from the Okanagan. Revelstoke has one of the highest average home values in the region, behind only Fernie ($448,000), Invermere ($371,000), Nelson ($333,000), and Radi-um ($331,000). Not surprisingly, the top five are all resort communities.

“The majority of residential home owners within the region can ex-pect an increase, compared to last year’s assessments,” said Shah.

According to BC Assessment, the most valuable home in the Revel-stoke area is at 3669 Catherwood Road; it's assessed at $2,251,000. One other home, at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, is valued at more than $2 million.

BC Assessment launched a new website this year that includes more details on property values.

Assessments are being mailed out this week and appeals can be filed until February 1.

Revellers were out in force in Revelstoke last weekend, making for a busy few days for the Revelstoke RCMP to close out the holiday season.

Police responded to 50 calls from New Year's Eve to the end of the holiday long-weekend, including ones for impaired driv-ing, a bar fight, a missing skier and numer-ous noise complaints.

"This is above average for this time of year however by having on several extra officers at certain busy times each call was

dealt with in a timely fashion," said Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky in a news release.

One man had to spend New Years Eve on Mount Mackenzie after he went miss-ing outside the boundaries of Revelstoke Mountain Resort near Greeley Bowl. The resort sent their groomers to the area to find signs of the man, but he was not lo-cated until Search & Rescue flew into the area on New Years Day.

RCMP dealt with two impaired driv-ing investigations, two abandoned vehicle calls, a mischief to property and an issue under the Mental Health Act to start New Years Eve. After midnight, numerous noise

complaints, people causing a disturbance, and impaired driving calls came in.

A fight broke out outside one bar, where more than 150 people had gathered, send-ing two men to hospital. Another man re-quired medical attention inside another bar. Four people were taken to the drunk tank that night.

Police also responded to a break and en-ter when the front window was broken at a downtown business.

The rowdiness continued New Year's Day, when police had to deal with numer-ous mischief complaints, both lost and found property, threats, driving com-

plaints, vagrancy, noise issues and public drunkenness. Most significant was a vio-lent domestic assault call.

On Saturday, Jan. 2, there was another assault, more driving complaints, multiple false alarms and more found property.

"The Revelstoke RCMP wishes to thank the community for the assistance of calling in events as they observed them as well as a thank you to those who chose to use a des-ignated driver when they had consumed too much," wrote Grabinsky.

Call volumes have since returned to nor-mal levels, he added.

Divided council approves two more vacation rentals

Council approved a vacation rental application for 1103 Cashato Crescent in Arrow Heights, de-spite outspoken opposition from some neighbours at a public hearing on Dec. 22.

"I feel that perhaps the city should look at a dif-ferent way of doing vacation rentals so they don't have the neighbours input into a situation, so we don't have to come to a meeting like this and op-pose something our neighbours have put forward," Terry Marshall, who lives nearby, told council dur-ing the public hearing.

She raised concerns about noise and parking, and wanted to know what neighbours could do if there were problems.

Her concerns were echoed by four other neigh-bours, who wrote to the city opposing the applica-tion. Specific reference was made to a wild wed-ding party that took place last summer.

Mayor Mark McKee noted that vacation rental owners were required to have a number posted for

people to call 24/7. Neighbours affected by noise or parking issues could also call the RCMP or city.

Council voted in support of the application, with Trevor English, Linda Nixon and Gary Sulz voting in favour.

"This citizen is doing the right thing. I under-stand the neighbours concerns. I support this ap-plication and for the city to monitor closely," said Nixon. "It's better than having them operating un-derground illegally. When they are legal, we have more teeth."

McKee and coun. Aaron Orlando voted against it. "When the neighbourhood comes out, not only by writing letters, but by coming here in person and talking to us, that sends us a very strong mes-sage," said McKee.

Orlando said the bylaw should be revisited so that neighbours weren't pitted against each other during the application process.

Council also approved an application by Scott Duke to have one of his properties on Cedar Street zoned as a vacation rental. The application met no opposition.

Council gave third reading to a new by-law that sets out the steps people must go through for re-zonings, OCP amendments, and other permits.

The Development Approval Procedures Bylaw describes what information may be requested of an applicant seeking a re-zon-ing, Official Community Plan amendment, development permit, heritage alteration permit and exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve.

"It's a relatively lengthy bylaw but it talks about all the steps that should be in place

when someone brings in a development for approval," said councillor Aaron Orlando.

The bylaw is required under the Lo-cal Government Act, states a staff report by Allan Chabot, the City of Revelstoke's Chief Administrative Officer.

The bylaw says the manager of develop-ment services can request up to 20 differ-ent reports from an applicant, including environmental and geotechnical studies. a hydrological assessment, traffic impact analysis, socio-economic analysis, com-mercial economic impact analysis, archeo-logical study, and infrastructure impact studies.

It also sets out guidelines for consulta-

tion and council consideration.Council also gave third reading to a by-

law that delegates power to the manager of development services to approve all minor development permits worth less than $100,000, as well as certain heri-tage alteration permits. Any applicant is allowed to appeal the manager's decision to council.

DISCUSSION ON PUBLIC PARTICIPATION POLICY

PUT OFFCouncil delayed discussion on the city's

new public participation policy, opting to

wait until there was a full council table be-fore discussing it.

Councillors Connie Brothers and Scott Duke were absent from the meeting.

"I think this is a really important piece," said coun. Aaron Orlando. I would like to have all council members here so we can discuss this."

The policy sets guidelines on how city hall communicates and interacts with the public on different issues.

"We should see this more than once be-fore council and take it to our strategic planning process," said coun. Linda Nixon.

The others agreed and voted to simply re-ceive the policy instead of actively adopt it.

An application to bring two properties on Catherwood Road into the City of Revel-stoke has moved to the second stage.

The joint application comes from David Evans, who owns the larger, 40 acre prop-erty; and Peter Bernacki, Melinda Bell and Richard Mickle, who own the smaller, 13-acre property.

Both properties are located along Cather-wood Road, at the foot of Mount Mackenzie and are adjacent to the resort lands.

A letter from Evans says the properties offer "unrivalled land for future develop-ment with ski out access," but that access to city water and sewer is necessary for de-velopment.

The application has gone out for referral and has now been sent to the province for more information on how to proceed.

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District is not supporting the request, saying they want to look at an annexation for the whole area, and not just go at it one property at a time. They also asked the city to consult

with the Agricultural Land Commission be-cause the properties are part of the Agricul-tural Land Reserve.

The Askisq'nuk First Nation said they had no concerns with the application, but they asked that an archeological study be completed before any development takes place.

No concerns were raised by province.A financial impact analysis prepared by

Tania McCabe, the city's deputy director of finance, says it would cost the city either $6,173 or $25,755 to service the property, depending on how the amount is calculated. The lower amount is based on assumption that all services are provided at an equal cost per parcel. The higher amount is based relating the cost of providing services to the value of the property.

The annual tax revenue that would be received from the properties, as they stand now, would be $14,479, based on 2015 as-sessments and tax rates. Those numbers would change when the properties are de-veloped.

The properties are part of the Agricultur-al Land Reserve and would require approval

from the Agricultural Land Commission be-fore being developed.

It is one of three boundary extension requests in the area. Evans has applied to

have another nearby property annexed in order to build a boutique treehouse hotel, while the Thomas Brook water users have also applied for annexation.

Council re-stated its support for the Rev-elstoke Adventure Park, but it asked the proponents to work with local emergency services while proceeding.

The city was asked for its opinion as part of the province's tenure approval process.

A staff report by the City of Revelstoke's assistant planner Chris Selvig expressed no objections to the development, saying con-cerns about protecting the city's watershed were addressed.

However, an e-mail from RCMP Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky stated concerns about access and security at the adventure park.

"As evidenced by the number of colli-sions and close calls at the entrance to the Enchanted Forest/SkyTrek, there is great importance in creating a safe way to enter and exit the highway considering vehicles are travelling at or above the posted 100 km/h," Grabinsky wrote. "Therefore con-

sideration must be given to how the area is accessed, and what mitigating actions will be taken."

He also asked the proponents consider lighting, security camera, road & parking lot planning, and alarm systems "as this lo-cation is remote and at times there will be no persons in the area."

The Revelstoke Adventure Park is being developed by Jason Roe of Black Tie Prop-erties, in partnership with Northland Prop-erties. It will include lift-accessed moun-tain biking, hiking trails, bungie jumping, zip lines, a campground, a man-made lake and more once completed.

GARBAGE BYLAW PASSED

The new garbage bylaw that scraps the rotating pick-up schedule and allows only one free bin to be placed curbside weekly was given third reading by council.

The bylaw also raises the cost of putting out an extra bag to $3, from $2.

All four councillors at the Dec. 22 meet-ing voted in favour of the new bylaw, with only Mayor Mark McKee voting against it. McKee said that allowing people to only put out one bag would hurt bigger families who go through more garbage.

"I'm concerned about the families that produce more garbage because they have more kids — we're penalizing those people by making those changes," he said.

However, councillors Trevor English, Lin-da Nixon, Aaron Orlando and Gary Sulz all expressed support for the changes.

"Speaking from experience – we have four kids in our house – we have one gar-bage can going out weekly," said English. "The children in our home are leaders in recycling."

"I think we are moving in the right direc-tion," said Nixon. "It's the green thing to do."

The new schedule goes into effect start-ing February 1.

NEW GARBAGE TRUCK PURCHASED

The City of Revelstoke will be getting a new garbage truck sometime this year.

Council approved the purchase of a Fal-con New Way Cobra with a Freightliner chassis at a cost of $197,205.60.

The city received six bids for the pur-chase, with the New Way Cobra coming in at the most expensive – about $10,000 more than the cheapest option. However, a report by Darren Komonoski, the opera-tions manager of the department of public works, recommended the New Way Cobra.

The report says the chosen option has the best life-cycle value; has a lighter con-tainer, meaning it can haul more trash; has the highest horsepower, and has the larg-est hydraulic fluid capacity and efficiency.

The purchase of the truck was approved in the 2015 budget.

The present council was sworn in on December 2, 2014. We were immedi-ately busy later that month with what I feel was one of the worst highway clo-sures ever. We felt that it was most im-portant that we get the needed attention and the full understanding of provincial authorities in particular the Minister of Transportation. We wanted them to see what we are living and dealing with in our area. We held meetings with the RCMP, the department of highways, city staff and the Revelstoke Chamber of Com-merce on what needs to be done to better look after accident scenes and stranded travellers. I feel council was instrumental in seeing immediate upgrades, and plan-ning further upgrades.

We started the 2015 city budget pro-cess, which was approved in May 2015, and shortly thereafter we started on the 2016 budget process. I requested the rein-statement of the financial focus group to review department budget requests. This small group has spent a lot of time in an advisory capacity and we are well on the way to having an approvable 2016 budget by the end of January.

Shortly into the New Year our CAO retired and the seven month process of rehiring a new CAO started. During this time we had a big void at city hall, espe-cially with five new members of coun-cil. In the end, having Allan Chabot join our team as CAO has proven to be a good choice.

We were advised by staff that they had

been requesting a decision from the pre-vious council on garbage collection for well over a year. The older garbage truck had been returned to service as an in-terim measure after the newer one broke down. We studied how garbage had been collected and then looked at how we felt it should be collected. We then went out to a tender process and decided to keep the contract in house. A new garbage truck has been ordered and we will be im-plementing a new pickup schedule start-ing February 1.

Council has started quite a few initia-tives such as looking into a plan to make our golf course self-sufficient. The first step was to form a golf course task force. The public appointment of this commit-tee prompted a private company to ap-proach the city about leasing and upgrad-ing the course. This did not materialize, but the process of going out for an ex-pression of interest from a private com-pany into running the course remains something we are still looking into.

2015 was the year for both annexa-tions and water systems. We have started several city boundary expansions, an ex-ample being the Thomas Brook area. The residents have a critical need to upgrade their water system and so far have agreed to join the city. There is a process in place where the local residents approve to pay costs to join and hook up to the city’s water and sewer system. We always knew that certain upgrades to the Big Eddy water system were needed and we applied for and were successful in acquir-ing a $3.9 million grant. This is contin-gent on the Big Eddy residents approving and paying for the remaining $1.9 million needed to complete this critical upgrade.

Our 12 unit affordable housing project had seen one delay after another, but it was finally started in 2015. This attrac-tive addition to the community will be

open for residents to move into on March 1, 2016, and applications for tenants are currently being received.

One of the more “in your face” prob-lems that council and staff faced this year was the recurring problem of the sewage lagoon. It wasn’t working properly and unfortunately when it comes to sewage, if it isn’t working then everybody cer-tainly knows about it, particularly our Southside residents. It took a while, but we introduced new equipment that fixed the problem, hopefully for good. I’m sor-ry it took as long as it did to rectify this problem.

City hall renovations were complet-ed. We wanted to have the main floor of city hall functioning. We did the minimal level of work possible so as to reopen the Engineering and Development Services departments. We will be looking at op-tions for the outside stucco repairs. Oth-er major renovation projects such as an elevator and other office upgrades have been either put on hold or have been can-celled altogether.

Our community energy plant suffered a major fire and now this plant has had a complete rebuild with some upgrades and it now appears that the plant is now run-ning better than ever.

Council was very involved in the issue of logging and mountain biking in the Mt. McPherson area.

est standard. Members of our community can report anything of concern that they see that they think city should know about, whether it’s a pothole, dangerous trees, or streets that weren't plowed. If you haven’t heard about it you should check it out at the city website. Lots of people have signed up and are helping us by keeping an eye on our community every day. City staff are very pleased with the program and feels it allows them to hear about and respond quickly to prob-lems that may crop up around the city.

There are many more issues that I haven’t touched on. Some, like a new gravel pit, were approved, while others, like the highway mall proposal, were not. The now famous chicken by-law has been approved, and is waiting for more

chickens to sign up, get inspected and become le-gal. The sign outside Jacobson Ford is up and has become a non-issue.

This council has set priorities through our stra-tegic planning and two of our important goals were to improve customer service and communi-cations.

I would like to thank all of council for the time and efforts each one has committed to making their community a better place to live. Of course council is only as good as its staff and I know that with the dedicated staff we have in place we are preparing to meet the challenges the future will bring.

In closing, 2015 was a year of change and ex-citement. 2016 looks to me like it will be just as exciting!

I can’t wait.

Winter theatre previewMost people expressed shock when the

news surfaced in November that the Febru-ary 3 show by Corb Lund was already sold out. In a town known for buying tickets at the last-minute, this was news.

While the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre's biggest show this winter is sold out, they still have a big lineup scheduled, includ-ing such popular acts as Ballet Kelowna, the Movies in the Mountains series, roots group the Nautical Miles, several kids plays, and more.

Here's a look at each show taking place this winter. All shows are at 7:30 p.m. un-less indicated. Tickets are $15 and available through the Revelstoke Arts Council web-site, ArtFirst and the Visitor Information Centre unless indicated.

MusicSaturday, January 16

THE NAUTICAL MILESThe Nautical Miles are an adventurous

seven piece alt-roots band from Vancouver, BC. Together, they have spent a decade craft-ing richly textured and emotionally complex folk music around the thoughtful lyrics of songwriter Corbin Murdoch. Their songs tell stories steeped in the natural and emotional histories of the Pacific-Northwest. Migra-tory mammals, extraordinary and ordinary humans, historic and urban mythology are all subjects in the narratives they spin.

Friday, January 22CASCADIA REED QUINTET

One of the newest groups on the music scene, featuring musicians from the Kam-loops Symphony Orchestra. A unique blend of wind instruments performing a wide vari-ety of arrangements from the impressionist Claude Debussy to the jazzman Billy Stray-horn.

Wednesday, February 3CORB LUND & THE HURTIN' ALBERTANS

Corb Lund, the fourth-generation rancher and former frontman of the punk/metal band The Smalls has been a road warrior since re-leasing his album Cabin Fever in 2012, which shot to #1 in Canada. Corb Lund is a Juno Award winner with multiple Canadian Gold Records to his name, he also won the Cana-dian Country Music Awards Roots Artist of the Year eight times running. The show is sold out, but you could get lucky on the sec-ondary market.

Sunday, March 20SYCAMORE STRING QUARTET

Haydn’s sublime humour and perfect form pave the way for two quartets similar in name only. R. Murray Schafer’s quartet was composed as a 50th birthday gift; Schubert’s Rosamunde unfolds as both a long-breathed poem and suave love song. Featuring mu-sicians from the Kamloops Symphony Or-chestra.

On a recent trip to the United States, one of the things that I was amazed by was the sheer variety of beers available. From dingy punk-rock dive bars to the local pub, to hipster hangouts, there was one thing in common — they all carried a diverse range of craft beers.

Some had a half dozen taps, while one place – Toronado in San Franciso – had a beer menu that would rival any high-end restaurant's wine selection, both in terms of variety and price. One bottle of beer was being sold for $120.

Long gone are the days Canadians could mock American beer.

The craft beer revolution that has swept the United States is slowing mak-ing it's way up north. The BC Craft Brewers Guild counts close to 100 craft breweries in the province, including Rev-elstoke's own Mt. Begbie Brewery. It's far behind Oregon, which has more than 200 breweries, but B.C. has reached the point where almost every town has its own brewery, and many new ones are popping up in the Lower Mainland each year.

When Trevor Roberts arrived in Revel-stoke last year after getting laid off from his job as an energy trader, he decided opening a bar specializing in craft beer was the way to set up in his new home.

"I wanted to do something on my own and create something for the commu-nity," he told me last week. "I saw an op-portunity for a little more of a niche, and I love beer."

I met Roberts the morning of New Years Eve at the Craft Bierhaus, inside the former location of Benoit's Wine bar at 107 Second Street East.

He stood behind the bar, while I took a seat in front. A line of two dozen taps, as well as assorted liquors was behind him. It was 11 a.m., so we held off on the alco-hol — there would be time for that later.

Roberts was born in Calgary and gradu-ated from the University of Calgary with a degree in finance. He became an energy

trader, eventually managing a large port-folio for Glencore, a major international commodity trading firm. He was living in Texas when he was laid off. Instead of moving back home to Calgary, he packed up his snowboard and mountain bike and moved to Revelstoke.

"I wanted more balance in my life so I moved to a place where it was relatively inexpensive to survive on your own with-out a job for a period of time," he said.

Roberts explored different job oppor-tunities, including working for CP Rail and the mill, but eventually he decided to open his own restaurant and bar.

"I wanted to build a place I wanted to hang out, and it turns out other people like it too," he said.

Roberts, along with numerous con-tractors, has given Benoit's a significant facelift. A proper kitchen was installed, the walls were painted green and a new wood-slab bar was built. The layout of the space remains the same, with the bar in the middle and tables against the walls. The tables are large and designed for a communal atmosphere. You could show up as a large group and have one to your-self, or you can come with a friend and sit down with strangers.

"The restaurant is set up to be more of a communal environment with big tables," Roberts said. "People are eating it up — share tables and you get to meet more people."

The food menu consists of six different salads, a selection of mac & cheese, and a selection of appetizers and mains. There's a quinoa slad with tomatoes, green on-ion, pecans, raisins and black beans; and the blackened shrimp salad, with mixed greens, pineapple, strawberries, mango, walnuts and raisins. My friend had good things to say about the kale salad, while Roberts said the kale Caesar salad was proving popular.

The centrepiece of the menu is the mac & cheese, which Roberts likened to a piz-za menu. There's eight varieties, and you can add to them. They go for about $8 for a personal size, and $11 for a regular.

The front page of the menu consists of a selection of entrees, including a veg-etarian option and different meats. All the mains are under $20. Roberts said the menu will change depending on what's fresh and in season. Sean Whalen, for-merly of Emo's, is the head chef.

"I've empowered the kitchen to do what they want for the front page," said Rob-erts.

Of course, what brings people into the Craft Bierhaus will likely be the beer. The bar has 19 beers on tap, all priced at $6.50 per pint, though some premium beers come in smaller glasses. You can sample a beer for $2.50.

"I tried to come up with a good cross section representing the whole gamut of beer styles and flavours," said Roberts. "What we're going to do is each tap repre-sents a particular style or flavour and we just rotate."

I went to the Craft Bierhaus on Satur-day to sample the beers, since this article wouldn't be complete if I didn't do so.

We tried a selection of IPAs – my favou-rite being the Breakside Wanderlust IPA – and a number of others. Highlights were the Salty Scott Scotch Ale by Parallel 49, a darker beer with a caramel finish; the Grinch American Strong Ale by Bridge Brewing, and the Ninkasi Brewing Dawn of the Red India Red Ale, which tasted like a mix of an IPA and a wheat beer.

I sampled the Breakside Passionfuit Sour, which Roberts said was his favou-rite, but — as he put it — it's an acquired taste.

If beer is not your thing, you can try a kombucha, which the bar gets from Koo-tenay Kombucha in the Slocan Valley. You can get it with or without alcohol. There's also two ciders on tap, a small wine list and your standard hard liquors.

They also have one tap with Stoke Roasted coffee.

"More than anything, this is all here be-cause I want to stay in Revelstoke," said Roberts. "I've invented a way for me to be involved in the community and stay with-in the community, because it's awesome."

The Revelstoke Grizzlies ended 2015 on a high note, winning back-to-back games over the Golden Rockets before New Years, only to start 2016 with a loss to the 100 Mile House Wranglers.

"What I liked about the Golden series was our collective team effort. Where one guy's not going, other guys are going. I felt everybody's contrib-uted in both those games," said coach Ryan Par-ent. "We matched 100 Mile's play on the road, but we didn't get that result. I didn't think we played poorly. I thought we needed a little more pressure at the net in order to have that success."

For the first time in years, the Grizzlies were back in action before New Years, with a home-and-home series against the Rockets on Dec. 30 and 31.

On Wednesday, the teams were in Golden, where a three point night by Brady Mende helped spark the Grizzlies to a 4-1 win.

Mende opened the scoring just over six minutes into the second period. Wyatt Gottschalk put Rev-elstoke up 2-0 with a goal late in the frame.

Golden got on the board near the mid-point of the third period when Ryder Prue got the puck past Grizzlies goaltender Trevor Dilauro. The Griz-zlies two-goal lead was restored when Kyle Berry scored a power play goal with five minutes left in the game. Ryan Hozjan made it 4-1 two minutes later to seal the win.

Berry and Hozjan both added assists on the night, while Steven Fiust also had a two-point game. Dilauro made 28 saves for the win.

On Thursday, Golden was in Revelstoke in front of a packed house at the Forum for the New Years Eve Showdown. The game was refereed by Cyd-nie Rice, a female official who has been making a name for herself in BC Hockey ranks.

Revelstoke pounced first when Jackson Caller fired home a point shot on the power play six min-utes into the first. The lead was short live, with Kyle Rosolowski scoring for Golden just over a minute later.

Revelstoke regained the lead when Berry tapped in his own rebound midway through the second.

Jeff Bochon made it 3-1 Grizzlies early in the first. He then sealed the victory with a buzzer-beater into the empty net.

Mende continued his strong play with a pair of assists in the game, while defenceman Kyle Baron also had two helpers.

Revelstoke native Keyon Bittner made 47 saves in Golden's net, but it wasn't enough to pick up the win in front of his hometown. Aidan Doak stopped 25 Golden shots to pick up the win.

Parent said he wants to make the New Year Eve Showdown an annual event. "I thought the atmo-sphere was great and the support there was great. It was a good show," he said.

Mende was the team's offensive leader in the two wins, picking up five points. He now leads the team in scoring with 26 points. "He's elevated his game for sure," said Parent. "He's also playing with good players who help him to be better."

On Saturday, the Grizzlies made the six-hour trip to 100 Mile House for the last time this sea-son. Revelstoke is one of the few teams to beat the Wranglers at home this season, but this time, they fell short.

Brady Ward, Cole Zimmerman and Ryan Fries-en scored for the Wranglers, while Aaron Aragon scored for the Grizzlies in his first game back after missing almost a month due to injury.

With Aragon back, the team is mostly healthy for the first time this season, with only Ryan Per-everzoff missing due to a lower body injury. Parent expects him back in the next week.

The Grizzlies begin a stretch of 10 of 11 games at home this Friday, Jan. 8, when they host the North Okanagan Knights. On Saturday, Jan. 9, the Chase Heat are in town. Revelstoke sits 10 points behind Chase in the Doug Birks Division, with one game in hand. On Tuesday, Revelstoke hosts the division-leading Kamloops Storm.

Parent said he's looking forward to the lengthy home stand, and the lack of long road trips. Revel-stoke's only road game the rest of the month is in Sicamous. "We came out before the break at .500 hockey. Now it's time to raise the bar a little bit and play better than .500," he said. "We've been very good at home."

On Saturday, Jan. 2, the Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club played host to the 2016 Okanagan Cup #1 and the BC Winter Games (BCWG) Trials. 252 athletes participated in the event, representing six Okanagan-based clubs, plus the Valhalla Hills Nordic Ski Club, Canmore Nordic and two jet-setting skiers from New South Wales, Australia.

The competition was particularly impor-tant for Okanagan skiers born in 2001 and 2002, who were vying for spots to compete at the 2016 BC Winter Games in Penticton this February.

Revelstoke Nordic skiers Simon Blackie and Kolibri Drobish automatically qualified for the BCWG by placing top two in their respective categories. Erik Brosch, Rebecca Brosch and Miika Park all placed in the top five in their respective BCWG categories and will now wait to see how many wild card spots the Okanagan region will receive for Nordic athletes. Cross Country BC will officially an-nounce the team selection next week.

Conditions were cooler than many visit-ing skiers expected, but all welcomed the easy waxing conditions and blue skies. The

event was an interval start classic, with competitors 15 seconds apart and utiliz-ing the diagonal-stride and double-pole techniques. A record 61 Revelstoke athletes took part in the event.

Full results are available online at zone4.ca, but here is a selection of top Revelstoke placings:

their performances! A warm thank you is extended to the organizing committee and 62 volunteers for their tireless efforts at running a well-organized event, especially Verena von Bremen for announcing all day in the cold.

Thank you also to generous sponsors Skookum, Flowt, Begbie Brewery, Pharma-save, Revelstoke Rotary Club, The Modern Bakery and Outdoor Research for donating draw and award prizes.

Revelstoke Nordic skiers are now look-ing ahead to a busy race season, continuing with BC Cup #1 at Sovereign Lake Nordic Ski Club in Vernon next week.

Olivia is the most popular name for baby girls born in B.C. for the third straight year.

The province issued its annual list of top baby names chosen in 2014.

Ethan was the top name for boys, edging out Liam, the previous year's top choice.

It's been a long run of popularity for Ethan, which has been number one or two every year since 2002.

Emma, Sophia, Emily and Chloe round-ed out the top five names for girls in 2014, while the other top boys' names were Liam, Lucas, Oliver and Mason.

"Not surprisingly Terry was not the most popular boys' name in British Colum-bia in 2014," said Health Minister Terry Lake said.

Final statistics for 2015's names won't be available until later in 2016, but so far Olivia appears to be extending her streak, while Oliver was edging ahead of Liam and Ethan for top choice on the boys' side as of Dec. 1.

The Vital Statistics Agency reported 44,500 babies born in B.C. in 2014 – 22,957 boys and 21,543 girls.

The Community Christmas Dinner of 2015 was a success. More than 200 people came out for the free dinner at the Ol' Fron-tier, while dozens of volunteers helped get things ready, serve the food and clean up. Many others donated money or food to make the dinner possible. Another 94 meals were delivered to people who couldn't make it to the restaurant, while 25 meals went home for the next day. ~ Photo contributed
