REVIEW

The proposed Mackenzie Village devel-opment passed a major hurdle on Tuesday when it was given third reading by council.

The vote came after a two hour public hearing that saw Arrow Heights residents speak against the proposed development, the business community speak in favour, and others lie somewhere in between.

“I understand it’s difficult to have a hous-ing unit next to a development like this but

I’m inclined that we need to have some de-velopment in this community to grow,” said councillor Connie Brothers while explaining her vote to the crowd of about 150 people. “I think we need to grow so I am going to support this motion.”

David & Shelley Evans are proposing to build a mixed-density development with up to 1,200 apartments, townhouses, condos and single-family homes on a 35 acre lot off Nichol Road in Arrow Heights. The propos-al was first made public in February 2015 and was subject to an open house in April,

after which the the Evanses were required to produce seven reports on the impacts of the development.

Council’s vote doesn’t mean the devel-opment is good to go. The developers still need to sign a Master Development Agree-ment with the City of Revelstoke, and coun-cil still needs to give the re-zoning bylaw fi-nal adoption.

“We see opportunity in Revelstoke and want to be part of Revelstoke’s growth as it grows into a thriving mountain town,” Da-vid Evans told council and the public at the

meeting. “The engineering reports show Mackenzie Village is capable of being built out over the next 10–15 year without nega-tively impacting the city.”

Fraser Blythe, the planner who was hired to design the development, said the pro-posal would benefit Revelstoke by adding a variety of housing types that are lacking in town, and that the high-density would cover the cost of infrastructure. “This will create a truly sustainable neighbourhood

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be appointing a nego-tiator to lead talks on updating the Columbia River Treaty, according to a U.S. Senator from Washington State.

“Prime Minister Trudeau, Foreign Minister (Stephane)

Dion, and I had a positive discussion today. The Canadian leaders agreed to move forward and appoint a chief nego-tiator to begin treaty talks. Modernizing this treaty would benefit Americans and Canadians along the Columbia River across the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia,” said Senator Maria Cantwell in a news release last Thursday.

A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs

confirmed the news, writing in an e-mail that "progress towards establishing a negotiating team was made" during Trudeau's visit to Washington last week.

"The Government of Canada has been and will continue working closely with the Government of British Columbia to prepare for discussions with the United States on the fu-ture of the Treaty," wrote Joseph Pickerill.

The Columbia River Treaty was signed in 1964 in order to provide flood control in the United States. In exchange, Canada was given $254 million to build three dams along the river, and granted a share of profits from extra U.S. power production that resulted from the treaty.

The treaty can be canceled or changed starting 2024, provided one side give 10 years notice to do so.

Both sides have expressed a desire to modify the treaty. In B.C., the province, local governments in the Columbia Basin and First Nations have each submitted recommendations for improvements. In the U.S., legislators have been urging the White House to begin discussions.

Discussions so far have surrounded the compen-sation B.C. should receive for providing flood con-trol and adding environmental considerations to the treaty. First Nations on both sides of the border are pushing to restore the Columbia River salmon run as part of the treaty.

So far, Ottawa has largely left discussions in the hands of the B.C. government. Bill Bennett, the MLA for Kootenay East and the Minister of Energy & Mines, said they are still waiting to hear Ottawa's position on the treaty, as well as that of the Ameri-can government.

"We actually have legal authority to be consulted by the federal government and they require our sign off on anything that is negotiated," he said. "That's the most important thing for people to un-derstand is the Canadian government doesn't have the same unilateral authority the U.S. government has."

Bennett said he expects Ottawa to take the lead on negotiations, "with B.C. right at their elbow pro-viding information and perspective."

"We certainly would welcome the opportunity to negotiate with the US on improving the treaty," he said. "We're not interested in opening up the treaty, but we're certainly interested in improving it."

Kootenay-Columbia MP Wayne Stetski, noted the work that has been done by the province, local governments and First Nations so far. He said the federal government's job should be to support the work that's been done.

"We certainly should not be starting to do it all over again," he said.

He said the report from Washington was the first news he'd heard about the treaty since being elect-ed in October. "This was the first movement on it that I've seen."

If you have ever visited some Asian countries, you may find you have to squat to use the bathroom facilities. It’s an uncomfortable way to have a bowel movement, but ironically it provides a clearer exit pathway and the muscles are more relaxed. There is a special device on the market that raises your feet as you sit on a normal toilet. It’s supposed to be the same as squatting.

Marijuana is often painted as a safe drug. However, in teenagers it can be quite detrimental because their brains are still in development and the synapses are still making

connections, strengthened by the experiences they take part in. The “unfinished” brain makes teens more susceptible to wanting to carry on with the drug... more so than in an adult who starts the drug later in life.

New Zealand and the U.S. are the only two countries in the world that allow drug companies to advertise directly to the consumer. Billions of dollars are spent on this form of promotion and there is a move to curtail this type of advertising and direct some of this money into reducing the cost of medications.

In the U.S. there has been a huge crackdown on health products that contain hidden ingredients not shown on the label. These products often claim to help “sexual enhancement” and weight loss. Health Canada in our country is always on the lookout for these types of products and will ban the sale if found. Many of these products can be found on-line.

The developers of a new Revelstoke hotel say it will be a showcase heralding people to the community.

"Our plan, when you come through that underpass, we're going to make a statement not just for our hotel, but we're going to make a statement for Revelstoke," said Fred Ber-uschi.

The Revelstoke Land & Development Company (RLDC) is planning to build a 5.5-storey hotel with 68 suites on a property in the Farwell neighbourhood bounded by First, Second, Wright and Benson Streets, near the CP Rail over-pass over Victoria Road.

The proposal passed its first hurdle last week when coun-cil agreed to allow a variance permit that increases the max-imum height allowed on the lot to 26 metres from 10.5 me-tres. Council voted unanimously at its meeting last Tuesday to support the variance, however they made no mention of feedback opposing the request.

"This is just another good news stories of business ex-panding in Revelstoke and people investing their money and seeing a good future in our city," said councillor Linda Nixon.

Mayor Mark Mckee also cited the positives of the devel-opment, saying that because the developers plan on siting the hotel at northeast corner of the lot, the extra height should have minimal impact on the neighbours, and was preferable to a motel-style building.

"I think this is going to be a great addition to the com-munity," he said.

Council received eight e-mails from the public on the variance request, most of which were in opposition or ex-pressed concerns about the proposal.

Sam-Kyu Cho, the owner of the neighbouring Days Inn, opposed the variance, citing concerns about traffic, shad-ing and privacy. He also expressed a worry that an extra hotel, combined with the rise in vacation rentals, would negatively impact business.

Several neighbours expressed concerns about noise and traffic in the neighbourhood.

David Labonte and Marie-Mai Parent recommended a maximum height of 3.5 storeys, vehicle access only from Wright Street, and a fence along Second and Benson Streets that would block out noise.

Trish Hartwick and Kiley Dare wrote they believed the number of units being proposed "was too many for a resi-dential area."

"lt will bring too many people into the neighbourhood. We bought in a quiet part of town because that's what we were looking for, quiet."

Kathryn Whiteside wrote the hotel, if built as planned, would be a "monstrosity" and "an obvious imperfection in our skyline."

"People come to Revelstoke not to be bombarded by buildings but rather be engrossed in the mountains and the

nature of our surroundings," she wrote. "We need to be cog-nizant of this as we plan for the future of our community."

Letters of support were received from Nicholas Thomas and Peter Humphreys. "I believe it is an efficient use of va-cant land in an area that is fully serviced to handle this type of development," wrote Humphreys, who is developing a motel nearby on Victoria Road.

Council made no mention of the public submissions be-fore voting.

Beruschi, who is one of the owners of RLDC, spoke to the Review following council's decision. He said the hotel wouldn't be feasible without the extra height, but now that that's been approved, RLDC will now be working on a de-tailed design for the building.

"Right now we're working with architects, engineers and designers to try to pull this thing together," he said.

He said the hotel would be between mid- and high-end

and would consist of multi-bedroom suites targeted at groups or families looking to spend several days in Revel-stoke.

They hadn't decided what brand the new hotel would be built under, said Beruschi.

"I can't even tell you that right now because we're work-ing with various organizations and various flags and we're going to see what they would like," he said. "It's going to be a very interesting product and it's certainly not going to be low end."

He said he's aiming to begin construction either this fall, or next spring.

"We're working with the architects now," he said. "It will depend on the trades. We want use all Revelstoke guys. We need to make sure they're not all tied up."

RLDC owns the Regent Hotel and the Best Western Plus.

A memorandum of understanding formalizing a working relationship between the Splatsin and the Shuswap Indian Band was reached in Rev-elstoke last week.

The two bands met at the Hillcrest Hotel to sign the agreement due to Revelstoke's cultural significance for both bands. A Secwepemc village site lies close by; the Trans-Canada and Highway 23 follow traditional trails and the area was historically used for fishing, hunting and gathering of food and medicinal plants – activities that continue to the present day.

The agreement will focus on territorial matters of mutual interest.“We already have strong and ancient kinship ties and by working togeth-

er, we will strengthen the social and economic fabric of our communities,” said Wayne Christian, Splatsin chief.

The formal arrangement will include annual work plans and a resource sharing model for projects in the shared area.

“As a leader of my community, what is most important about this day is that our communities are taking a first, decisive step toward restoring long-standing relationships that can be carried forward by our children to those yet to be born,” said Barb Cote, Shuswap chief.

“Today, we move forward in collaboration toward a future where our communities are healthy, economically independent and culturally vi-brant,” added Christian.

Refugee family chosen for Revelstoke

A Syrian family of seven has been cho-sen to migrate to Revelstoke.

The Almastou family, which consists of father Rakan, mother Medheya, and their five children, between one and nine years old, are expected to arrive in Revelstoke within the next six months.

"We're excited we know who's coming," said Rana Nelson, the head of Revelstoke for Refugees. "We will work as hard as pos-sible to make it a good fit for everybody."

The family was chosen out of a list of 33 families that was screened by the United Nations and compiled by the Sponsorship Agreement Holder.

Nelson said the criteria they looked at was the number of children and the fa-

ther's skill set. "We decided we wanted three or more

(children) because Revelstoke has such good early childhood support," she said.

According to a family profile supplied to Revelstoke for Refugees, Rakan, 34, has worked in construction for more than 10 years, and owned a vegetable store for two years. Nelson said the fact Rakan has worked in construction was important, adding that most applicants listed farm-ing in their work history. "Part of our job is to help him find work," she said.

No information is provided about Med-heya or her five children, other than their ages. The profile says they speak Arabic. Nelson said she's been told Rakan should have some level of English, but they have people willing to help the family learn the new language.

The family has been living in a refugee camp in Jordan for three years, after flee-ing the civil war in Syira in a sheep carrier truck with several other families. It took them three tries to cross the border.

Revelstoke for Refugees has raised $49,000, which will go to the Almas-tou family to help get them established in Revelstoke. They are still looking for housing for the family, though Nelson said they have a lead on a home. One of the big question marks is they're not sure when the family will arrive.

She said they are looking to send a welcome letter to the family to let them know what to expect when they arrive. Students from Begbie View Elementary are also writing letters.

"We're hopeful we can provide some stability," Nelson said.

A former ministerial assistant to Transporta-tion Minister Todd Stone has been charged with two offences under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act for his role in a complaint about deleted government emails.

A special prosecutor approved two charges against George Gretes for "willfully making false statements to mislead, or attempt to mislead" the Information and Privacy Commissioner.

Commissioner Elizabeth Denham referred the case to police after Gretes testified in her inves-tigation that he didn't delete a series of emails from a subordinate's computer during a search in response to a freedom of information request.

Gretes resigned in October 2015 when Denham released her report on the 2014 incident, which found that Gretes had used another employee's computer to "triple delete" a series of emails.

Stone has maintained that the deleted emails were not the official records dealing with com-munity meetings about improving travel op-tions along Highway 16 in northern B.C., which was the subject of the request. The ministry has since released hundreds of pages of records about the project.

The incident prompted Premier Christy Clark to order all political staff in the government to keep all emails as the procedure for handling electronic communications is updated.

Former privacy commissioner David Loukidelis reviewed the case and recommended that non-partisan public servants should decide what records should be kept and what can be de-stroyed as duplicate or transitory messages.

A Sicamous man cleaning up illegally dumped waste near Solsqua-Sicamous Road need-ed more than a garbage bag when he found what appeared to be a military tank projectile.

Police say the discovery was reported on Monday, March 7. The person had been picking up yard waste and other waste from a roadside ditch when they found a military-like pro-jectile among the debris. The 16-inch-long by four-inch-in-diameter find was described as a “tank shell.”

RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said Sicamous RCMP officers responding to the report examined the shell and immediately contacted the Royal Canadian Armed Forces Navy Ordinance Disposal Unit at CFB Equimalt to attend and assess the item.

Moskaluk says the shell was removed and taken to a National Defence property in Vernon where it was safely disposed of.

The origins of the shell remain a mystery, says Moskaluk, and police are asking the public for any information on how the shell ended in the ditch.

“We understand that members of the public could possibly be in pos-session of collectible war memorabilia and be unsure of how to dispose of them; however, this was not the right way,” said Moskaluk.

A Revelstoke construction company has applied to open up yet another gravel pit off Westside Road.

Interoute, which currently operates a 28-acre gravel pit off Westride Road across the river from Columbia Park, has applied for a land tenure in order to extract gravel next to its existing operation starting in 2028.

"We've been in business for 35 years and we're going to be there for another 35," said Corey Rokosh, the manager of Interoute's Revelstoke operations. "We want to make sure we have all the aggregate we need to supply the commu-nity's needs in the future."

The future pit would be located almost directly across the river from the Revelstoke Golf Club, in between Interoute's existing pit and another quarry proposed by Revelstoke Sand & Gravel last August that has yet to be approved.

Rokosh said its existing pit would be exhausted within eight years – before the proposed pit goes into operation. When asked about reclamation, he said that would begin next year and would occur over time as the pit is exhausted and stock piles are drawn down. "It's going to be progres-sive reclamation," he said.

Interoute controversially expanded its existing Westside Road gravel pit in 2010. The expansion saw the pit grow in size from 12 acres to 28 acres.

The move was fought aggressively by Stuart Andrews, whose home off Highway 23 North, sits overlooking nu-merous quarries north of the Trans-Canada Highway. He has continued his fight ever since to ensure the Ministry of Mines enforces dust control and other conditions placed on the pit.

In August, Andrews made a presentation to council ask-ing it to oppose Revelstoke Sand & Gravel's application.

“The matter is very contentious and controversial be-cause of the other gravel pits in the surrounding area," he told council. "Another unregulated gravel pit with no dust controls and producing silica dust will be detrimental to public health."

He told council his biggest concern was the lack of en-forcement of dust control and produced numerous photos of dust blowing off gravel pits in the area.

The impact of gravel pits on public health is the subject of debate. While silica dust, which causes the lung disease silicosis, is considered to hazardous to workers involved in

crushing operations, the risk to the general public is at best insignificant and at worst unknown due to the lack of stud-ies on the matter.

Rokosh said Interoute has the best dust control program in the area and challenged me to look at other operations. "We have the best program in place in town bar none," he said. "We apply dust control to our roads, we water our stock piles, we apply a product to the product so the dust can't float around. There's nobody else doing what we're doing."

Andrews did not know of this latest application when I contacted him last week. He said he was attending a meet-ing on Friday and would call back afterward. We did not hear back prior to press time.

"There's 19 gravel pits across there right now, which is a bit ridiculous," he said.

The City of Revelstoke limited in what they can do to re-strict gravel pits. The city is required to identify areas where gravel can be extracted in its land-use plans. The Ministry of Mines award permits for extraction, while the Ministry of Forests, Lands & Natural Resource Operations, grants land tenure. Applications are referred to municipalities, but it is very rare that they are actually stopped.

In September, council asked the Ministry of Mines to ensure dust and noise control was put in place on the pro-posed Revelstoke Sand & Gravel pit, if its approved. They also asked for measures to be put in place to mitigate public health concerns. Council also asked the pit be developed in phases. The application has to be approved.

You can read Interoute's application on the Review web-site.

Respectful treatment of seniors must be priority

One of the biggest issues that has faced British Columbians since the BC Liber-als came to power in 2001 has been the treatment of seniors, particularly those who require either in-home or residential care. It is an issue that has been brought to my office countless times, and it is an issue that has caused many people throughout the area to become active po-litically as they fight for what they believe is right.

I have said many times, and I will say again, that the way we treat our children and the elderly is a true measure of our society. And I believe that far too many seniors and children have been failed by this BC Liberal government.

Over the last weeks, I have met with a number of family members who have loved ones in residential care facilities who are desperately concerned about the level of care they are receiving. British Co-lumbia, while increasing annual spending on healthcare, has yet to increase that funding to a level that actually matches the increases in fixed costs, which es-sentially results in cuts to services to our most vulnerable.

Ensuring that our seniors can live their lives with dignity and in comfort must be our priority. I know it is for people in this area. This is why, we need to identify shortcomings when we find them. Loved ones need to feel that they can speak up on behalf of residents, to ensure they are getting the care they deserve.

Our office is here to help or direct you to where you can access help. You can reach us at 1-866-870-4188 or at [email protected].

You can also contact Interior Health's Patient Care Quality Office (PCQO) at 1-877-442-2001. The PCQO is tasked to provide a clear, consistent, timely and transparent process for patients to reg-ister complaints about the care they or their loved ones receive. If your concerns are not resolved to your satisfaction, you can take your issue to the Patient Care Quality Review Board for an independent assessment.

I will continue to fight for better care for our seniors, and I will continue to make sure that the government is held accountable for its treatment of seniors in this area. Ultimately, underfunding seniors' care is a BC Liberal decision, a choice that has been consistently op-posed by people in this area.

MLA REPORT

Council made two key votes last Tues-day, both of which represented commu-nication issues for the city.

First, at council meeting, they ap-proved a height variance for a new ho-tel in the Farwell neighbourhood. I'm not going to make a judgement call on

the merit of the variance. My concern is with the way council handled the matter. There was a two week public comment period, and eight responses came back. Some were for it, some were ambivalent and most were opposed.

What was noteworthy about council's discussion is that they didn't even give lip service to the feedback. The vari-ance was approved without so much of a mention of the letters opposing the request. This was noted by myself and Emily Kemp of the Mountaineer, who both questioned council about this. The letters might not have changed council's mind, but ignoring them sends a mes-sage that their input doesn't matter.

That evening, council and about 150 community members gathered at the community centre for the public hearing on the Mackenzie Village proposal for

Arrow Heights. Forty-four people spoke, most were Arrow Heights' residents who were against it, but council voted in favour regardless. They did mention the concerns about density and vaca-tion rentals and said they would address those at a later meeting.

Council needs to act on those concerns so people don't feel the hearing was a formality before the vote. They don't need to address every issue, but if Mack-enzie Village goes ahead as proposed without a serious debate on debsity and vacation rentals, they risk having a large number of alienated, angry residents in Arrow Heights.

Worse, if people get the impression their input doesn't matter, it means the city will get less of it, which could result in poorer decisions being made in the fu-ture. Don't let that happen.

Climate change could lead to changes in ecosystems, lifestyles

Simply put, says Kootenay scientist Greg Ut-zig, climate change is about air.

“What we’re talking about in terms of cli-mate change is air,” said Utzig at a talk on cli-mate change in Revelstoke last week. “That is what this issue is all about. You wouldn’t think about throwing pollutants in the river, but every time you drive your car or start your lawnmower you’re polluting. What we’ve been doing to the air effects the other elements in every way.”

Utzig, along with Cindy Pearce of Mountain Labyrinths Consulting, presented the talk on Thursday, Mar. 13, at the community centre. It was hosted by the Columbia Mountain Institute of Applied Ecology as part of a two-day work-shop on the issue, and focused on how climate change could impact various areas of the local environment including fish and wildlife habitat, glacial retreat, and local flora.

“I’m going to talk about climate change, but in a way that applies to you in your own life,” he said to an audience of approximately 30 people.

He then let the audience know just how many emissions of C02 the Columbia Basin is contrib-uting — 3.4 million tonnes annually.

“We are contributing a substantial mount. We are part of the problem,” said Utzig. “Carbon emissions have been increasing each year since the 1970s. The earth is essentially breathing, but we’re covering it in emissions.”

What does this mean for the future? For Ut-zig, it’s first important to distinguish between weather and climate change. He describes weath-er as ‘what it’s going to do tomorrow’, while cli-mate change is a long term average.

“We’re talking about trying to predicate major changes that occur over decades or centuries. We’re talking about major changes of long term conditions,” he said. “The curve is changing and it is getting warmer, which is closer to what we are seeing today, which is why we are still getting cold weather but not as much as we used to get. We are getting more hot weather and record hot weather."

Utzig further pointed out that we are get-ting more unusual weather, and that it’s get-ting warmer. Some of the climatic extremes be-ing seen are unusual heat waves, droughts, hail storms, high-intensity rain storms and flooding, windstorms/tornadoes, lightning storms, ice storms, hail storms, and early springs.

So, what’s happening more locally? Projected changes for the 2050s include a 2–3 C increase in summer temperatures; a 10-15 per cent increase in winter, spring and fall precipitation, and de-creases in summer precipitations.

“That’s a fairly ominous change, especially when you think about fire. We’re already locked into a certain amount of heating by what we’ve done in the past, “ said Utzig, who also pointed out that projections could be different if we get rid of emissions.

Pearce, who has also been working on climate change locally for a number of years, pointed out that one degree difference may not seem like much, it does add up.

“When I first started working on climate change, I thought one degree, who cares? The difference between Vancouver and Revelstoke’s mean average temperature is three degrees. So a small change in temperature, big change in cli-mate,” she said.

Utzig said there is more variation in precipita-tion than there is in temperatures.

“The last couple decades we’ve had a substan-tial decrease in winter precipitation," he said. "What’s projected in the future is actually an in-crease in precipitation, but not much more than what we’ve had in the past in the 1970s."

There’s a huge amount of local variations. "If you look at Revelstoke (precipitation) drops, if you look at Mica it went up,” he said.

While it’s not possible to yet know how climate change will impact local ecosystems, Utzig pre-sented projections for the 2080’s based on three different biogeoclimactic zones: hot/wet, wet/dry, and warm/moist. All three models indicate lower elevations are going to get warmer and drier.

“There’s pretty good certainty about what is going to happen at the lower and mid elevations and a lot of uncertainty about what will happen at the upper levels,” said Utzig. “There could be some big changes.”

One of those changes could be in the types of fish being seen in local lakes and streams. Most fish in area require cold water, he noted.

“If you start increasing air temperatures, it increases water temperature and that creates problems," said Utzig. "Looking at salmon his-torically, there are some temperatures that are stressful to salmon in the Columbia River, but it’s basically OK. By the 2040s, temperatures projected would probably be killing salmon."

Changes to the ecosystem could also mean a loss of of stream-side vegetation, as well as com-petition from invading fish species. These eco-system changes will be gradual, and some species may be able to adapt, while others won’t.

“Likely ecosystems will reorganize, come up with different ecosystems. We’ll see different predator prey relationships,” said Utzig who says the most likely catalyst for these changes is the increased risk of fires.

“The important thing to think about is we need to do something. It’s going to get worse un-less we do something," he said. "The other thing we need to do is adapt to these changes as well. When you look at these projections it makes a big deal. We need to change the way we are doing things.”

Ideally, said Utzig, we need to look at adapta-tion and mitigation — using wood from inter-face fire treatments to displace fossil fuels for heat; protect forests to sequester carbon and assist ecosystem adaptation; increasing build-ing insulation to reduce fuel use and adapting to summer heat waves, and changing lifestyles (e.g. biking, walking, using public transportation).

SEWER FLUSHING NOTICE

The City of Revelstoke has commenced its 2016 sewer line � ushing program within the municipality. Periodic � ushing is undertaken to prevent the buildup of sediment which may result in blockages. This work primarily takes place from April – October. Flushing can occur in Fall and winter months given warmer temperatures.

The Sewer � ushing process uses a high-pressure jet to scour the pipe. When the jet passes by your homes connection to the sewer it creates a pressure wave. This pressure wave has the ability to push-out, or pull-in the water and air held inside your plumbing and U-shaped traps and this includes your toilets, showers, sinks and � oor drains. In most cases, nothing happens, but sometimes it does. As a precaution, or if your house has been affected by this type of work before, we advise you to 1) keep your toilet lid closed during times when they are not being used and 2) � ush after every use. Also, to prevent odours, it is advisable to pour 2 litres of water into infrequently used plumbing � xtures to ensure the trap is full, ideally before AND after the work takes place. If water appears to be spilled around your toilet or � oor drain, please accept our apologies as we perform this important sewer maintenance work.

We thank you for your cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience. For further information please contact 250-837-2001 or go to the City website at http://www.revelstoke.ca/

Jacobson Ford in Revelstoke would like to introduce it's new

SALES CONSULTANT

Jacobson

We are pleased to welcome our new Sales consultant, Marie-Pier Rodrigue.

Marie is a French Canadian who grew up in Quebec. She started skiing at the age of 3 and always loved outdoor activities such as biking, camping, rock climbing, swimming and more.

5 years ago she came out west on a 2 week vacation and never left. Marie lived in many different ski resorts that BC has to offer. She � nally decided to settle in Revelstoke and start a career at Jacobson Ford as a Sales consultant.

There will be magic in the air as vo-calist Kinga Heming takes the stage at the Revelstoke Jazz Club Friday night.

Heming will be backed by two of the Okanagan’s finest jazz musicians — Neville Bowman on and Bernie Add-ington on bass.

The trio will be playing songs from Heming’s debut album, It’s Magic, as well as favourites such as It Might As Well Be Spring (Hammerstein and Rogers), Fever (Peggy Lee), and You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You (Larry Stock).

When asked what her favourite thing about performing is, Heming replied, “Capturing the audience and engaging with my band; telling a story from ex-perience and having the audience feel what it is I’m feeling in the moment.”

Born in Poland, Heming’s first musi-cal influences as a child were her par-ents. Her mother would play Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and other great jazz artists around the house and her father played in his own cabaret.

After moving to Canada, Heming was accepted into the vocal program at Canterbury, a government funded school for the arts. On her musical journey she found her own favourite jazz vocalists who helped shape her sound. These were legendary voices such as Natalie Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Diana Krall, and Ella Fitzgerald.

Later, Heming studied jazz at Hum-ber College in Toronto. It was in this musically vibrant city that she shared the stage with performers like Renee Rosnes, Guido Basso, and Juno award winner Don Thompson. She also sang a duet with the late Jeff Healey at the bar he owned.

Heming has toured throughout Can-ada with Bill King’s group, The Real Di-vas, and has sung the national anthem for the NHL, NBA, and AHL.

Bowman is well-known throughout the B.C. Interior as an accomplished accompanist, composer, arranger, vo-calist, and instrumentalist. He was a former member of the award winning Just in Time trio and indie rock group Ten2Nine. He recently wrote the mu-sic for two original stage productions as well as an original commissioned work for Ballet Kelowna entitled Redux Continuum.

This spring Bowman will be adjudi-cating at the B.C. Interior Jazz Festival.

Addington enjoys a successful career as a freelance musician and private instructor. He has studied under re-nowned bassist Rick Kilburn and has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe, and Australia. His unique sound can be heard on numer-ous recordings.

Kinga Heming performs at the Rev-elstoke Jazz Club inside the Selkirk Room at the Regent Hotel on Friday, Mar. 18, at 7 p.m. Entrance is by dona-tion.

A dozen of the top spellers from the elementary schools of Revelstoke competed at the annual School District 19 Spelling Bee on Monday, March 7, at Begbie View Elementary. The bee began for all 12 spellers with words such as “tantrum,” "bogus” and “boomerang” and progressed through increasingly difficult words such as “magi-cian”, “epicurean” and “obstreperous.” An hour later, through the process of elimination, the contest was down to two com-petitors — Sara Supinen and Kalyn Gale. They had succeeded through 43 rounds and had exhausted the prescribed list of words. Bee organizers had to use the supplemen-tal list that had words such as “fiefdom,” “transcutaneous” and “lycanthrope.” In the end, Sara and Kalyn were declared tied. Congratulations to all the stellar spellers at the spelling bee – you all made your schools proud.

Classical pianist Philip Chiu plays on a mountain top in the Canadian Rockies, with Mount Dainard in the background, on a sunny Sunday north of Revelstoke. The unique event was put on by Mica Heliskiing, who hosted a free show by Chiu and soprano Su-zanne Rigden (inset) in Grizzly Plaza on Saturday morning before flying Chiu and the piano into the mountains for an exclusive peformance at the behest of a Mica guest. The heliskiing operation named the run below him Piano Man. The show in Grizzly Plaza was attended by more than 100 people, who stayed despite the dreary drizzle that fell from the sky. Chiu and Rigden delivered a captivating perfor-mance that soared above the din of traffic on Victoria Road and clang of passing trains. Chiu invited the crowd into the bandstand during one of his quieter songs.Mica said they would donate the piano to a local organization.~ Words by Alex Cooper, Revelstoke Review; Photos by Zoya Lynch, Mica Heliskiing

BUSINESS

Terra Park and Robert Jay are probably more ex-cited than most as the snow rapidly melts in the valley around Revelstoke.

As soon as its gone, the owners of Terra Firma Farm get to start working on their new farm at the site of Nelles Ranch on Highway 23 South.

Their new home is only a few hundred metres away from their old one, but it's much larger and the soil is better. "We’ll probably double our pro-duction this year, and then get bigger every year," said Jay, when I visited him and Park at their new farm a few weeks ago.

Terra Firma was started by Park and Jay eight years ago on Mount Begbie Road, on a property overlooking the City of Revelstoke. They diligently worked to convert the soil and develop it into a vi-able organic farm, selling seed starts and produce at the Farm & Craft Market in the summer, and at Mountain Goodness and Le Marche.

Last year, they jumped at the opportunity to ex-pand and grow with the purchase of Nelles Ranch, a former horse breeding farm that changed hands several times until Jay and Park acquired it last summer. "The opportunity just came up," said Park. "We knew it would be a lot of work but it seemed it would be worthwhile."

They said they were running out of space on their Mount Begbie Road property, where they were limited to farming 1.5 acres of land. They also said the soil was much better here and would require much less work. "It's almost a no-brainer the soil here," said Jay.

It was hard to get a complete vision of their new location when I visited, with the ground covered under a blanket of snow. Their new property is about 30 acres total, six acres of which is flat, arable land they'll be able to farm. They'll be starting with three acres this summer. and expanding every year until all the available flat land has been cleared and planted.

Their plan is to increase the quantity of what they make, as well as add a few more kinds of pro-duce, such as corn, to their offerings. "We'll have more of everything. A few new things, but basi-cally more of the same," said Park.

They also want to raise livestock on the parts of the property not suitable for farming. "Chick-ens for now. Eventually, probably pork," said Park. "Maybe sheep if Rob gets his way.”

They're building a new home on the property that will also have space for plant starts, a washing station, and a suite for a farmhand.

One of the new projects they have going on is a partnership with Okanagan College to see if salad greens can be grown inside a greenhouse during the winter. They have two greenhouses set up, one with a single layer of plastic, and one with a double layer. The former lets in more light, but stores less heat, while the latter lets in less light, but traps the heat better.

They are using heat generated by a compost pile to warm the garden beds. The greens were covered to help trap the heat and were just beginning to sprout. "We have three years to figure it out," said Park.

Park and Jay have a busy spring ahead of them. Once the snow melts, they'll get digging to in-stall an irrigation system. "We’ll plow it again, then we’ll start planting," he said. "As soon as the snow's gone, we'll be on."

When asked about their hopes for 10 years from now, they hesitated. “We want to work off the land and have it in full production," said Jay.

After a bit of hemming and hawing, he spilled the beans: "We were thinking about changing the house into a farm-to-table style restaurant down the road to use up any seconds or things we have," he said. "That’s not for at least 10 years before we explore it.”

Revelstoke skaters put the final touches on their upcoming Family Game Night Ice Skating Show at the dress rehearsal last week. Now they are ready to perform at the Revelstoke Forum on Thursday, Mar. 17, at 5:30 p.m.

The Skating Club and host Shaun Aquiline from EZ Rock would like to encourage the community to come out and watch the show. There will also be some notable community folks who picked up unlucky Monopoly Chance cards and will be jailed at the event.

Jailbirds Mark McKee, Alan Chell, Mike Hooker, Garry Pendergast, Roberta Bobicki, Karen Powers, and Bobby McLelland each need to raise $300 to secure their freedom during the show.

"We would like to thank these folks and their organizations for the support,” says Skating Club president Mary Kline. “Funds raised will go to-wards Revelstoke’s skating program and a charity of the jailbird’s choice and donations can be made at the show.”

This will be the fifth ice skating show devel-oped and choreographed by head coach Nina Greschner and Kidskate/Canskate coach Adrienne Schurdevin, both past professional Disney on Ice skaters. They hope to continue to build upon the success of previous shows including Broadway on Ice, Heroes and Villains, Our Precious Planet, and Name that Movie.

“My intention is to give our skaters the opportu-nity to experience an ice show atmosphere where they can develop an understanding of portraying roles while executing a technical program,” said Greschner. “After months of practice and rehears-als skaters are so excited to finally be performing to the community’s local crowd.”

here in Revelstoke,” he said.There was a clear theme during the public

hearing. Residents of Arrow Heights who spoke were unanimously opposed, and the applause was audibly louder for them.

“All the people speaking in favour of this project are the ones that don’t have to live beside it,” said Gordon Murray. “This is dra-matically going to change the character of the neighbourhood... We don’t want to see a high-density vacation rental with the cars zooming up and down the streets.

“The people that should be listened to are the people that have to live by it.”

Residents expressed concerns about traf-fic impacts, and wondered how the city’s infrastructure - notably the sewer - would cope with the proposed increase in popula-tions.

“I think we need to look at upgrading our infrastructure before we think of going ahead with something like this,” said Beth Manson.

They worried about the possibility of the development turning into a base for vaca-tion rentals; the zoning permits such use in all units.

“I think what might happen is that if they couldn’t sell the thing that they built, the temptation would be to have it all vacation rental,” said Virgina Thomson. “That would be a nightmare.”

Mostly, there was a feeling it was just too big. “I think that this development nega-tively affects my property and my neigh-bours’ properties, and my future family, and how I’m going to raise my family in this community,” said Derek Lammie, who lives

on Hay Road. “We’re allowing the develop-ers to dictate how our communities are go-ing to be built. I think that’s the role of the citizens of Revelstoke. I think that’s the role of council and the mayor.”

Fewer people spoke in favour of the de-velopment, and not just people involved in the business community, though they were

no doubt vocal in their support.Arguments in favour were that it would

add a variety of new housing stock to Rev-elstoke’s inventory, would create jobs and attract new people to town, and would spur development.

“The Revelstoke housing market has had a void of new development for years,” said

Realtor Todd Arthurs. “Our inventory of older homes does not meed the demand of many buyers in our market.”

Judy Goodman, the executive director of the Chamber of Commerce, said the cham-ber was supportive. She argued that allow-ing vacation rentals would create more cer-tainty on the issue by concentrating them in one area where people would know they exist. “It’s very different than how we’re do-ing it now, where you can apply for a vaca-tion rental in an existing neighbourhood,” she said. “In this case it makes it easier to deal with.”

Bill Shuttleworth said the development was enticing to him as a senior looking to downgrade their home. “We do need plac-es we an afford to buy where we have far less maintenance to worry about,” he said. “Some of the properties that are being con-sidered here should fit our bills.”

The public hearing lasted for close to two hours. Council voted directly after, with councillor Aaron Orlando introducing the motion to support third reading.

“The direction is towards higher-density, more walkable communities and commu-nity hubs,” he said. “That is something cre-ated through this development. I think this is the right thing for this community.”

While council voted unanimously to sup-port the proposal, they did agree to look at some of the issues that were raised and con-sider restrictions in the future, particularly on vacation rentals. A motion was passed to get staff to produce a report on options to restrict uses on the development.

“I think we heard there’s a real concern with vacation rentals,” said coun. Linda Nixon.

Kenneth David “Ken” Magnes

Kenneth David “Ken” Magnes passed away peacefully at Queen Victoria Hospital, Revelstoke on Sunday, March 6th, 2016 at the age of 83 years. Ken was born in Lockwood, Saskatchewan on February 7, 1933 and came to Revelstoke in 1968 to initially work for Fruit Grower’s Mutual. Shortly after, with Ken’s entrepreneurial spirit and savvy business sense, he opened Ken Magnes Agency, holding the highest standing as a Fellow of Insurance Institute of Canada.

Ken was always an active community champion in Revelstoke with roles including; former Chairman of the Board of Queen Victoria Hospital, Chairman of the Board for the United Church, member of Community Futures and Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce, and sat on the Board of BC Hydro. Of the many community initiatives Ken worked tirelessly to support, two in particular were especially dear to his heart.

As a founding member and Chairman of the Downtown Revitalization Committee, he helped with efforts to beautify the downtown and added the crown jewel of Grizzly Plaza. Ken was also the founding member and Chairman of the Revelstoke Heritage Railway Museum, pairing well with his lifelong passion for trains. In Ken’s younger years while living in Saskatchewan, he was a telegrapher for CP Rail. As a special tribute, the telegrapher featured in the Railway Museum was modelled in the likeness of Ken, commemorating his earliest profession and his love of Revelstoke. Ken always had a desire to give to the community for the benefit of all and wanted everything “tickety-boo.” In 1992, Ken was the recipient of the Revelstoke Lions Club Citizen of the Year Award.

Ken treasured looking at his beloved Mt. Begbie, growing raspberries, golfing, skiing – both downhill and cross country, curling, and reading. Ken especially loved history and politics and truly enjoyed a lively discussion of political events. Ken most of all cherished his time with his family and his many friends. Especially memorable were the motorhome trips when Ken’s family was young. Ken was predeceased by six siblings: Helen, Amy, Harold, Gordon, Alice and Marj. He is survived by his wife Kay of Revelstoke; three children: Charlene Magnes of Calgary, Brad (Wendy) Magnes of Victoria and Sheldon (Tami) Magnes of Edmonton; three grandchildren: Pyper of Victoria, Denon and Garan of Edmonton; brother Raymond (Alice) Magnes of Edmonton, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

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

A Memorial Service will be held at the Revelstoke United Church on Saturday, May 7th, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. Cremation arrangements are in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Revelstoke Community Foundation, Box 2398, Revelstoke, B.C. V0E 2S0 or to the Alzheimer Society of B.C., 300 – 828 West 8th Avenue, Vancouver, B.C. V5Z 1E2, in memory of Ken.

Reflections on a beautiful woman

Sherrian van GoorMarch 23, 1947 to March 4, 2016

Sherri passed away peacefully on Friday, March 4th in her 68th year with Albert by her side. Sherri is survived by her husband Albert, children Liesje and Ryan (Christina), grandchildren Jack and Max, sisters Judy Vigue, Susan Volk, brother Bruce Tillen, and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by sister Diane Garant and parents Jack and Esta Tillen.

Sherri’s strong sense of family, social values and love of nature were nourished by her upbringing. Born in Kaslo, Sherri spent her formative years in the communities of Lardeau, Trout Lake, Arrowhead, and Revelstoke. Following her graduation from RSS, and seeking a career in business, Sherri graduated from Vernon Business College. She married Albert Van Goor in 1967 and together they spent five years in Calgary focusing on their careers before settling in Revelstoke to have a family. Through their business ventures including R Taxi, The Frontier Restaurant and Remax Realty, Sherri’s fine bookkeeping skills were an invaluable asset up until her retirement in 2005.

In addition to her business acumen, Sherri’s convictions and independent spirit moved her to activism. She was instrumental in the formation of the Revelstoke Hospice Society. She was on the board of the Association of Children with Learning Disabilities (ACLD) at both the local and provincial level. In addition to serving as a school trustee, Sherri was actively involved in politics provincially and federally. Ever determined, her adventurous spirit even led her fly an airplane solo. Her respect for and love of nature shone through her storytelling. In the words of her niece, Kathryn Purse, Sherri showed us the wonder in all the little things that make life so special and unique and beautiful—a toadstool growing under a bush, a butterfly wing, books on every subject imaginable, a bird in a nest (or even in the freezer).

Those who entered Sherri and Albert’s home were warmly embraced through the creature comforts she treasured. Gentle, kind, and nurturing, she had a healing touch and a compassionate soul. Sherri could also be a force to be reckoned with and she wasn’t afraid to speak her mind. Anyone in her presence would be guaranteed a laugh; always playful, she delighted in surprising or even shocking others.

Most of all, Sherri was robust. She was fun. She was loving, and she was loved.In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Revelstoke Hospice Society or to the British Columbia Alzheimer’s Society. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

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

Elva Verna Torgunrud

Elva Verna Torgunrud passed away at Queen Victoria Hospital, Revelstoke in the early evening of March 4, 2016 surrounded by her family. Elva was 84 years old and died of complications from a fall and broken leg. A Memorial Service was held at the Revelstoke United Church on Saturday afternoon, March 12 with Gary Sulz officiating. Interment followed in Mountain View Cemetery, Revelstoke.

Elva was born in a log home on the family farm in Lintlaw, Saskatchewan in 1931. Her dad named her Elva which means eleven in Swedish. Elva's parents had immigrated from Sweden to find a better life in Canada. Mom grew up during the Great Depression on this small farm with no electricity or running water. Although it was hard life she often spoke fondly of this time growing up in a large loving family. Elva was the youngest of 11 children. In her later years Elva moved to Revelstoke to be closer to her children and grandchildren who she dearly loved.

Mom loved people and took great joy visiting with old friends and making new ones. Elva also loved to spend the day gardening in her children’s yards. She would bring her lunch and a thermos of tea and make a day of it. As she got older her scooter allowed her to shop, garden, and even go fishing on her own. She was fiercely independent and her scooter allowed her to be mobile all year round. Mom always had kind and encouraging words for the people around her, as many prairie folk do. Even in her last days her doctor said she handed out compliments like handing out candies.

Elva was predeceased by her father Peter Wallin, mother Matilda Wallin, husband Melfort, sisters Anne and Vera, and brothers Rhudolf, Walter, Herman, Melvin, Martin, and Roy. Elva is survived by her sons Russell and Randy (Lynn) daughters Tammy Johnson (Brian) and Jayna Atchison (Wes) six grandchildren and five great grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister Hazel Gregoire in Penticton and brother Robert Wallin in Regina. Messages of sympathy may be sent to Elva’s family by viewing her obituary at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com. Arrangements were in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;

thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Dear family and friends,

Our wonderful loving father passed away November 18, 2015 at the age of 73 in Vernon B.C.

We will miss his smiles, laughter and easy going attitude. Even through his pain he ensured us he was fine and “just taking it one day at a time”.

We love and miss you Dad. Forever in our hearts!

Love, Lila and Cindy

John Ronald“Jack” Bracken

John Ronald “Jack” Bracken passed away peaceful at Queen Victoria Hospital, Revelstoke on Saturday, March 5th, 2016 at the age of 75 years. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at

the Revelstoke Community Centre on Monday, March 21st, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the charity of one’s choice, in memory of Jack.

Jack was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on July 31, 1940 and had been a resident of Revelstoke for over 43 years. In his younger years, Jack enjoyed playing baseball and hockey. He also loved to play Keno, crib and cards with his friends and gardening. Jack enjoyed all of the trucks and equipment that he operated over the years, but he was extremely fond of his pickup truck and took great care of it over the years. As a truck driver he was used to getting up early in the morning, so after his retirement or not so retirement Jack made the rounds having coffee with his friends in the early morning. Jack loved the time spent with his friends and family but he especially adored his grandchildren.

Jack was predeceased by his wife Carol in 1980, father John and siblings: Noreen, Garry, Patricia and grandchild Mike. He is survived by his children: Shawn (Kathy) of Revelstoke, Bill (Jennifer) of Winnipeg, Tracey (Chris) Carslake-Robidoux of Port Coquitlam, Deanne (Brian) Kelsberg of Bowser, Jim Brown of Nanoimo and Chris (Dave) Potvin of Nanaimo; his 101 year old mother, Clara of Pine Falls, Manitoba; grandchildren: Jackie, Brodie, Carolynne, Joshua, Cate, Jeffery, Daniel, Derek, Laura (Patrick), Jason, Cindy (Matt), and Kevin (Jenn); great grandchildren: Jadyn, Brendan, and Ebony; special friend Kay Rochon of Revelstoke as well as many other good friends.

Helen Korenko

With heavy hearts the family informs you of the passing of Helen Korenko of Revelstoke on March 9, 2016 at the age of 99 years. There will be no formal funeral service by Helen’s own request.

Helen was born in Revelstoke, B.C. on February 12, 1917 and was a lifetime resident of this city. Helen grew up in the Mount MacPherson area and attended school there. She then started employment as a cook for Campbell’s Dairy Farms. It was there she met and married Jack Korenko in June, 1940. Helen and Jack had two children, Irene and Raymond. Helen was always smiling and happy, content to be with her family and an avid homemaker, having a large garden, always cooking and canning. She really looked forward to their camping, fishing and boating trips and huckleberry picking. She was extremely proud of having five generations of family living in Revelstoke.

Helen was predeceased by her husband Jack in February, 1993, her siblings Albert Threatful, Victor Threatful, Harry Threatful, Nestor Threatful, Marion Baird, Alice Lynburne and Vera Weeden. Helen is survived by her daughter Irene Lewis of Revelstoke, her son Raymond Korenko of Salmon Arm; granddaughter Shelley (Edward) Koski of Revelstoke and grandson Frank Lewis of Celista; three great grandchildren, Karla Koski of Revelstoke, David Koski of Stettler, Alberta and Casey (fiancée Amber Waite) Lewis of Chilliwack, B.C.; one great great grandson Grayson Edward Koski of Revelstoke; one sister Eve Volk of Calgary, Alberta and brother Leonard (Stephanie) Threatful of Revelstoke, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

The pilot of a recreational drone that forced wa-terbombers from smoke-filled skies around Oliver last summer was never located, but future offend-ers who impede forest firefighters will face higher fines.

Fines for 19 offences under the Wildfire Act, including interfering with wildfire protection ef-forts, are being increased to among the highest in Canada, Forests Minister Steve Thomson said Thursday.

The fine for failing to comply with fire restric-tions such as campfire bans will increase from $345 to $1,150. A new penalty of failing to comply with a stop-work order made because of fire risk will carry a maximum penalty of $100,000 and one year in prison.

Thomson said there are "constitutional" issues with a proposal to seize vehicles from people who

toss cigarette butts out the window while driving, but the province is still considering its options.

A proposal to ban people from B.C. parks if they violate campfire restrictions is also being consid-ered, but is not included in the current changes.

Thomson said the legislation will redefine "in-terference" with firefighters so it doesn't mean in-tentional interference. That would apply to boat-ers who blocked air tankers from filling with water on Okanagan Lake, as well as the drone pilot who caused aircraft to land as vineyards, homes and a school around Oliver were threatened by fire.

Oliver Mayor Ron Hovanes the battle against two fires threatening the community last August were likely due to a recreational drone flown be-cause "somebody just wanted a closer look.

"It was very hard to drive by the airport and see helicopters quiet on the ground, no bombers in the air, all the while people were clinging to the hope that the fire wouldn't reach their homes, their businesses," Hovanes said.
