Mountain caribou set to be listed as endangered

A recommendation is set to go the Min-ister of the Environment to have mountain caribou listed as an endangered species, the Revelstoke Review has learned.

Stephen Hureau, a scientist who works on species at risks with the Canadian Wild-life Service branch of Environment Canada, told the Review that a new classification that separated southern mountain caribou from its previous larger population unit in-

dicates the species is endangered in the Co-lumbia and Rocky Mountains.

“What’s happened is the committee that does the scientific evaluation of status of species at risk made a recommendation to split that up into three different popula-tions,” said Hureau. “The new population has been assessed by them as endagered rather than threatened.”

Prior to the re-classification, southern mountain caribou were included as part of a larger population that ranged through much of southern and central B.C., and was

only considered to be threatened.The move follows a recommendation

made in May 2014 by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) to classify southern mountain caribou as endangered.

Hureau said they consulted with local and regional stakeholders and will make a regulatory impact assessment that will go to Catherine McKenna, the new Minister of the Environment. She will decide whether or not to introduce legislation changing the southern mountain caribou’s status to

endangered under the Species at Risk Act (SARA).

The southern mountain caribou range covers most of the Columbia Mountains and parts of the western Rocky Mountains, from north of Valemount to northern Ida-ho and Washington state in the south,

The news won’t come as a big surprise to those familiar with the southern mountain caribou. Two major herds near Revelstoke have seen their numbers decline precipi-

RCMP are investigating why a man led police on a chase from Banff to Salmon Arm on Wednes-day. In a news release, RCMP say the pursuit began after a man fled a traffic stop in Banff on Wednesday, Nov. 25.

Police in neighbouring jurisdic-tions were notified of the incident and at 9:15 p.m., a 57-year-old Sas-

katchewan man was arrested by Salmon Arm RCMP after ditching his vehicle on a logging road near Canoe.

Officers from Revelstoke, Si-camous, Southeast District Traffic Services, and police dog services were involved in the arrest.

The driver remains in custody while police investigate to deter-mine why the man fled police.

The RCMP did not provide infor-mation on charges as of press time.


Man arrested after fleeing police

The B.C. government's climate ad-visory panel wants to start increas-ing the province's carbon tax with a 33 per cent jump in 2018, and says even with higher fuel tax the prov-ince won't meet its current target to reduce greenhouse gases one third by 2020.

The carbon tax has been frozen at $30 a tonne since 2013, a rate that translates to about seven cents a li-tre on gasoline and similar taxes on diesel, natural gas and other carbon-based fuels. The government's advi-sory team recommends increasing the carbon tax by $10 a tonne each year starting in 2018, with increased rebates for low-income and rural B.C. residents.

Environment Minister Mary Polak released the panel's recommenda-tions Friday, as the B.C. delegation led by Premier Christy Clark prepares to attend the United Nations climate change meetings in Paris next week.

Polak was skeptical about one of the panel's recommendations, to cut the provincial sales tax from seven per cent to six and replace the rev-enues through higher carbon taxes in the years ahead.

"It is one of their recommenda-tions, and so we'll be looking at it along with the others, but I think

at first blush, the numbers probably don't work," Polak said.

The panel, appointed in May with industry and environmental repre-sentatives, concluded that the 2020 reduction target isn't going to be met. It recommends a new target of a 40 per cent reduction by 2030, and says the original target of an 80 per cent cut can still be reached with "ag-gressive" carbon pricing and expan-sion of the tax to include industrial emissions.

Polak said she accepts that assess-ment, and will consult with industry and B.C. residents before setting new policies next spring to meet the new 2030 target.

NDP leader John Horgan said the Clark government has frozen the carbon tax and delayed progress on Metro Vancouver transit with a ref-erendum they expected would fail.

"Rather than reduce emissions, they've gone up," Horgan said. "And we're not even counting liquefied natural gas."

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver said the recommendation to resume increases in the carbon tax is "bold," but the report also shows Clark's government gave up on the 2020 tar-get that is still in legislation.

"The key thing is that these recom-mendations are completely incom-patible with the government's LNG plan," Weaver said.

We hear much about bowel cancer in the media. Those in the under 50 age group often don’t pay too much attention to this information because somehow bowel cancer is thought of as “an old person’s disease”. Bowel cancer can affect about 20% of people under 50. So if you have abdominal pain, blood in your stools or notice a change in your bowel habits, see your doctor.

As of January 2016, Health Canada is introducing changes in the labeling of homeopathic “nosodes”. These are being sold as an alternative to vaccinations. There is no evidence

they work to protect against diseases and in fact will make children more susceptible to disease if they are not being vaccinated.

Speaking of vaccinations, measles is starting to rear its head again. Stats Canada reported that 89% of two year old’s had received the recommended number of immunizations against measles, mumps and rubella in 2013. For best protection of Canadians, this number should be 95% to prevent any outbreaks from occurring. Ensure your children received all the recommended vaccinations.

The words “herd immunity” describes the ideal number of individuals in a given population who have immunity, through vaccination or previous exposure, to confer protection to those who aren’t immunized. This herd immunity will prevent a contagious bacteria or virus from setting up a chain of infection.

If you have any questions about immunization, check with our pharmacists. We have the reliable information to keep you well-informed.

It was a fascinating moment of democ-racy in action. A rare moment where you could watch a politician change his mind and vote against his beliefs — the anguish visible in his face.

That was what happened last Tuesday, Nov. 24, when councillor Gary Sulz, after spending almost three hours listening to one person after another oppose a pro-posed shopping centre development, said he would "acquiesce" and vote against it.

"There’s a time to be right and there’s a time to walk away. At the risk of going against what most people feel in my part of the community, I’m going to acquiesce to most of you," he told the crowd of about 100 people who remained at the meeting. "I’m not going to support this going forward. I’m going to ask the developer to stay so that we can look at doing things over again."

With that, he joined couns. Connie Brothers and Aaron Orlando in defeating a re-zoning bylaw that would have paved the way for a shopping centre to be built off the Trans-Canada Highway where it intersects Highway 23 North.

The development company Hall Pacific proposed to build a shopping centre with a grocery store and pharmacy as anchor ten-ants on 7.5-acres of the Revelstoke Cross-ing property. However, to do so, they first needed grocery, pharmacy and shopping centre added to the permitted uses on the property; it was zoned for hotels and other highway commercial use.

On Monday, Michael Spaull, the develop-ment manager for Hall Pacific, confirmed they would not be proceeding with any de-velopment in Revelstoke. "Unfortunately, we're a small team," he said. "We have to make sure we're efficient at focusing our efforts. We've got other projects that are taking off right now. It's a matter of making sure we spend our time wisely."

The strip mall proposal split the commu-nity. On one side sat the downtown busi-ness community, and those who supported a vision of Revelstoke where commercial ac-tivity was located largely downtown. They feared the shopping centre would lure peo-ple away from downtown, hurt small busi-nesses, and, by extension, the community.

The opposition was vocal, taking out two two-page ads in the Revelstoke Review, and

turning up en masse to a public hearing in September.

Less vocal were those in support, who ar-gued the shopping centre would create jobs, boost the economy, increase competition, reduce prices, increase the tax base, and sig-nal that Revelstoke was "open for business."

When it came time to give the proposal third reading, council supported the pro-posal, arguing there was a silent majority who supported it.

Then a twist happened. Council rescinded third reading and scheduled a public infor-mation session and a second public hearing. More and more letters and comments came into city hall — the majority of which op-posed the development. (Check the sidebar for a sample of comments from the public hearing.)

Last Tuesday, 278 people showed up at the community centre for the second public hearing. Of 33 people that spoke, the ma-jority were in opposition. As the meeting continued on and people started to head home, Sulz asked for a show of hands. How many of you support the development? A

dozen or so hands went up. How many of you oppose it? A forest of hands went up.

The public hearing went on for nearly three hours. Immediately after, council went to third reading, with about 100 peo-ple still in the room. It was an unusual step, which Mayor Mark McKee said would be the new normal. Each councillor took turns speaking, beginning with Linda Nixon. She continued to voice her support, saying she believed there was still a silent majority in favour of the development.

"They are the single moms and the single parents, and the people that live in Colum-bia Park, and they want to see the grocery store come to town," she said. "We do need to increase our population, and this is only going to be a small site. This mall is only 10 per cent the footprint of the downtown.”

Brothers once again said that council needed to take more time and do more homework. It was a view she's voiced sev-eral times and she stuck to it.

"I want development at that location, but

Comments from the public hearing

33 people spoke at the public hearing (some twice). Here is a sample of their submissions to council. To read more com-ments, visit the Revelstoke Review website.

George Buhler: "I strongly believe that development will benefit Revelstoke. It will create temporary and permanent jobs and create growth for Revelstoke. It will send a message to other develop-ers that Revelstoke is a friendly place to develop. This will create growth that will benefit all residents and business."

Stacey Lamont: "The real question on the table is where we want to anchor the community. If we accept the rezoning and start anchoring our community on the highway, it will hurt the downtown core. 100 per cent of communities that allow this fringe development, the down-town core will suffer."

Steven Hui: “I can honestly say I did not predict the emotions. The frustra-tion and anger tells me there’s a discon-nect. I think city council needs to look at this and look at the values and priorities of the community.”

Lew Hendrickson: "How are we going to keep our kids in town if we keep not doing anything? ... I find it somewhat unfair we talk about the Revelstoke busi-ness community as being the downtown. What about the rest of the businesses that aren’t downtown? Where’s the con-sideration for us?”

David Lafreniere: "I don’t think we’ll see more competition. We’ll see the same amount of competition, but with differ-ent banners."

Kai Bogghild: “Revelstoke is different because its a community. We need to make sure we’re not losing sight of that. The economics are important, but only insofar as they support the community.”

Bill MacFarlane: "Are we going to aban-don the vision that we set for this com-munity, which said come to Revelstoke, come stay in Revelstoke, or do we aban-don it for one that says, come visit us on the highway, but keep going?"

Cindy Pearce: "We need, tomorrow, to go back and figure out how we’re all go-ing to learn how the development pro-cess works so we don’t befuddle another development like Hall Pacific.”

Columbia Shuswap Regional District

Plans for upgrades to Williamson Lake appear to be met with support at an open house at the com-munity centre last Monday.

The Review attended the open house and ev-eryone we spoke to while there was supportive, though one man came and left quickly, angrily saying the city was "trying to fix something that wasn't broken."

The City of Revelstoke is looking at upgrades to the park and campground that would see the exist-ing buildings upgraded or replaced, and the park and campground improved.

The planning was initiated several years ago, but was picked up again earlier this year.

Three designs were created by Fraser Blyth, of Selkirk Planning & Design, with help from archi-tect Henning Schipper. One looks at a configura-tion focused mostly on developing Williamson Lake as a park, the second looks at focusing on the campground, while the third provides a balance between the two uses.

Ken Talbot said he preferred option three, since it provided a balance between tourist and local use. “You can have it as a good interface between our local people and visitors, which is option three," he said.

Rob Elliott, the general manager of Revelstoke Mountain Resort, said he believed there were op-portunities to spruce up the park.

“I think there’s so many possibilities to make it more inviting for the community and get more people down there and make it more of a focal point for the community," he said.

When asked about RMR's plans to build a trail around the lake, he dodged the question. The re-sort owns most of the land on the east side of the

lake. “I think focus on what this is, and that’s a feather in Revelstoke’s cap if they got this finished up," he said. "It looks like a beautiful plan, not only for tourists but also for the community.”

The park is one of the most popular spots for families, said Tracy Spannier, the coordinator of the Early Childhood Development Committee.

"Of the families that we surveyed, 80-90 per cent are visiting Williamson's Lake," she said. "It’s a huge part of the community. It’s an important place to get it right. As much as it’s a tourist spot, it’s very local."

Gary Krestinski, the president of the Revelstoke Rod & Gun Club, said the club supported re-devel-oping Williamson's Lake. "Particularly the wheel-chair access is great. It will get everybody down there."

He said the club would like water monitoring conducted on the lake. They have also asked that a turtle rearing area be protected, and for fish-ing regulations to be posted so visitors know the rules. Lastly, he said the club would like the fishing dock to be located closer to the north end of the lake, where the fishing is better, rather than at the south end of the park.

"Other than that the club thinks it's great for the place to be upgraded," Krestinsky said.

The City of Revelstoke parks department will be compiling feedback from the open house to create a final plan, which will be presented to council. No timeline has been set to begin work and no money has been budgeted for the upgrades in the draft 2016-20 financial plan.

While there are some upgrades needed in the near future, many of the proposed changes wouldn't happen for years to come.

You can see the proposed designs on the Review website.

Cabin liquor license application supported by council

A request by The Cabin to extend its li-quor license to a proposed new patio was supported by Revelstoke council, despite opposition from neighbours.

The decision came after a discussion by council whether or not to restrict patio hours to 11 p.m.

However, council voted not to do so be-cause other patios in town don't face the same restrictions. "I wouldn’t be interested in muddying the waters at all about what time a patio can close," said councillor Trev-or English. “Its the onus of the business that after 11, the noise level dials down.”

The Cabin is planning on building a pa-tio at the corner of First Street and Orton Avenue, and extending their liquor license to include the entire building other than the retail store. Currently only the bar and bowling area are licensed.

They also plan to renovate the interior of the building by removing the wall that currently separates the bar from the lobby. The renovation would improve the sight-lines between the bar and the patio, the owners of The Cabin say.

The current capacity – 93 people – would remain unchanged.

The Cabin's request was met with oppo-sition from neighbours. Of six that replied, five asked council not to support the ap-plication. Carol Prince wrote she was con-cerned about rowdy patrons since the Cabin doesn't serve food. "When the Cabin is fi-nancially able to add food to their establish-ment, I would potentially support the appli-cation to expand outside."

Fred Beruschi, owner of the neighbour-ing Regent Hotel, said he was concerned about noise disturbing his hotel guests, and the fact the business is for sale, which cre-ates a big unknown.

Judy Lillace and Robert Lahue, who own the neighbouring building, said they were worried about drunk people damaging their building. Pulse Bootfitting, which is locat-ed next door to The Cabin, also expressed opposition. "I have had businesses next to bars in the past both in Canada and abroad and know first hand the disaster that en-

sues for neighbouring businesses," wrote Kai Palkeinen and Kelly Hutcheson.

The only letter of support came from Brydon Roe, the owner of Everything Rev-elstoke, who said the patio "would be a great addition to a corner that has been in need of an upgrade for some time."

At council last week, the debate was over the patio's hour of operations. Mayor Mark McKee led a push to place a closing time of 11 p.m. "What I would say to the applicant is let's start with that and if they feel they need to go later, they can apply for special

occasion licenses," he said.Coun. Aaron Orlando asked about re-

strictions on other patios, to which city planner Dean Strachan replied he wasn't sure if there were any. "I’m reluctant to set a time limit now because we don’t have in-formation no what’s permitted elsewhere," he said.

In the end, council defeated the motion to put a time restriction on the patio. The Cabin's application still needs to be ap-proved by the Liquor Control Board.

The latest change to B.C. liquor policy loosens the rules for restaurant goers who just want to order a drink, without food.

They're now allowed to sit anywhere in the restaurant instead of being relegated to a separate lounge area or feeling pressured to order food.

That's expected to provide some more flexibility to restaurants that no longer

need to have defined lounge areas."This is a small change that will make a

big impact," said Ian Tostenson, president of the BC Restaurant and Foodservice As-sociation. "The restaurant can open up more physical space that can be used to seat customers who are dining or enjoying a cocktail."

The rules for music and comedy perfor-mances are also relaxed. Restaurants no longer have to apply for a permit to host

entertainment, as long as patrons aren't participating in the show.

MORE MICRO-BEER OFFERINGS

Craft beer lovers should soon find more local varieties in B.C. government liquor stores.

The stores are reserving dedicated shelf

space starting Nov. 30 for beer from local microbreweries that has not typically been offered in government stores.

Exactly what's sold will vary by location.There are more than 100 eligible mi-

crobreweries – producing no more than 15,000 hectolitres a year – and each store is expected to carry up to 12 currently un-listed varieties from the nearest breweries.

There are few places in British Colum-bia that are more connected to power gen-

eration than Columbia River–Revelstoke. Home to considerable power projects like Revelstoke Dam, and part of the affected area of the Columbia River Basin, we un-derstand this industry, and live daily with its benefits and consequences.

British Columbians have long benefit-ted from being owners of much of the power generated within this province, and through BC Hydro, a Crown Cor-poration that has traditionally provided significant dividends to the public purse, we have received access to consistent,

low cost power.Unfortunately, over the last 14 years

under the BC Liberals, British Columbi-ans have watched the cost of hydro sky-rocket as government forced our Crown Corporation to make decisions that were not in the best interest of either BC Hydro or BC ratepayers.

It is time for British Columbians to make a new choice; a choice for better management of this precious resource,

MLA REPORT

Thank you to the 63,203 people who voted in the October 19 election. Almost 74 per cent of eligible voters in Koo-tenay–Columbia took that walk to the polls, which was amongst the highest in Canada! This election was an excellent example of how every vote counts, and it is an honor to serve you as your Member of Parliament. So what’s been happening in the first month?

Starting out as a Member of Parliament is incredibly busy. One of the challenges is setting up offices. My plan is to have staff in Ottawa, Nelson and Cranbrook for Jan. 4, 2016. This involves leasing new space and furnishing the offices with the recycled inventory used by the former MP as the furniture, computers, etc... are all owned by the House of Commons. I plan on having one staff person in Ottawa and four in the riding so that you get good ser-vice here at home.

We are assigned office locations in Ot-tawa based on standing, so for this 42nd session of Parliament, Liberal MPs picked their offices first, Conservative MPs sec-ond, and we are in process of picking our offices now. The next update will include my Ottawa office information. Even if we’re picking third it is an honor to have an office on Parliament Hill.

I also have to hire the staff. The NDP has unionized Constituency and Parlia-mentary Assistants and since we went from 103 seats to 44 in the election, there are several hundred qualified people in Ottawa who, under the contract, get the first opportunity to bid on the jobs both in Ottawa and across the country. That process is underway.

The MP has to serve their constitu-ents whether permanent staff is in place or not. In the last month I have attended meetings and events in Fernie, Cran-brook, Creston, Invermere, Nelson, Kaslo and Johnson’s Landing. There have been phone calls (250-919-9104) and emails ([email protected]) and letters (PO Box 872, Cranbrook V1C 4J6 until Janu-ary 1 and then send mail to Unit B – 111 7th Ave S, Cranbrook V1C 2J3) to answer.

There have been about 100 letters so far including those waiting for me in Ot-tawa. Experienced MPs have told me that once everything is up and running an MP can expect to get between 300 and 500 e-

mails per day. If you have sent me some correspondence and haven’t heard back yet please be patient — you will get a re-sponse. Phone me if it is urgent.

In the last month I was also in Ottawa for five days participating in an intensive orientation focused on finance and ad-min and the non-parliamentary aspects of being an MP. We are given a budget that includes staff salaries, office leases, providing information to constituents, in-riding travel, etc. If we go over it we pay for it out of our own pockets.

On average we spend more than six months of the year in Ottawa participat-ing in Parliament and other national re-sponsibilities (for example I am the NDP critic for National Parks) so I also have to find accommodation in Ottawa. The bal-ance of the year is spent traveling around the riding meeting with constituents.

Our job as the Progressive Opposition is to make government and Canada better, and that is exactly what we will do. Parlia-ment begins on December 3 and contin-ues until December 11 before breaking for Christmas. My next update will include a look at what it’s like to sit in the House of Commons as your MP. I’m sure it will be an exciting and humbling experience!

Have a happy holiday season and a great New Year! I hope to see many of you during the break when I start my Coffee With Your MP sessions around the riding.

and better energy policy that pro-tects rate payers, manages for sus-tainability, protects farmland, and moves us toward a green energy future.

Put forward by the BC NDP, Pow-erBC is a better plan for a brighter future for British Columbia. I believe that BC’s energy policy must be bold and progressive. We can protect BC Hydro customers from rising rates, produce good-paying jobs close to home, respect First Nations land ti-tle, and launch careers in clean ener-gy and retrofit construction, mainte-nance, manufacturing and high-tech engineering.

PowerBC is about retrofitting pub-lic buildings, homes and businesses for energy efficiency, resulting in re-duced energy costs and community-based jobs. PowerBC is about maxi-mizing current capacity in existing dams such as the Revelstoke Dam. Forward-thinking engineering built this structure for future capacity. We can still add one more turbine in

Revelstoke Dam which would gen-erate 500 megawatts of new capac-ity and create 390 person-years of skilled trades employment.

PowerBC is about making signifi-cant investments in clean energy. British Columbia is particularly well suited to produce renewable energy and could be an exporter of not only renewable energy, but of renewable energy technology.

Columbia River–Revelstoke has al-ready embraced a diversity of energy production options that range from the SunMine in Kimberley to the bioenergy facility in Skookumchuk. Across British Columbia, there are tremendous opportunities for geo-thermal, wind, tidal and solar genera-tion.

With the right leadership, we can build the energy future we want. If you want to learn more about Pow-erBC, go to bcndpcaucus.ca/pow-erbc.

City botched the Revelstoke Crossing process

If there's one thing you can say for certain after last week's defeat of the Revelstoke Crossing shopping centre proposal, it's that the city botched the process.

From day one, the development was rushed and I don't know why. Until third reading was surprisingly rescinded in late October, the ap-proval process for the strip mall was moving forward at lightning speed for such a significant development.

Compare it to the 1,200-unit Mackenzie Village development in Arrow Heights being put forward by David Evans. When that came forward back in February, city plan-ner Dean Strachan recommended

the city host a public information session. After that, the comments were compiled and in June, Evans was asked to produce seven reports including a traffic study, financial impact study, an infrastructure & servicing study, a parks & trails plan, a waste management plan and an af-fordable housing strategy.

All of that had to be done before first reading. Evans recently told me that the last of those studies is being completed.

Actually — let's compare it to a vacation rental application. When those come forward, staff first in-troduce a motion asking council for approval to proceed. Then, at the next council meeting, it comes back for first and second reading. Then it goes to a public hearing, followed by third reading and adoption.

That first step never happened for the shopping centre. Council was never asked for guidance on how to proceed (or at least they weren't in public) before introducing the re-zoning bylaw to permit the shopping centre for first reading.

I don't understand why one sig-

nificant development has different requirements than another. Why wasn't Hall Pacific asked to do a retail study, a traffic study and an infrastructure impact study before the re-zoning bylaw moved forward? Why wasn't a public information session held until November, when everyone was already very familiar with what was being proposed?

The fact is, we never learned enough about the development. The city didn't seem to make any effort to study its potential impacts. A shopping centre like that would impact roads and sewer and water, but no effort was made to look at that in de-tail. There was talk that would be part of the devel-opment permit process, but why wait until then? If a major development comes forward that can potentially alter the character of the community, the utmost effort to understand those changes must be undertaken.

My feeling is Mayor Mark McKee was eager to declare Revelstoke as "open for business," and hop-ing to make that declaration early in his four year term. He was elected on a pro-development plat-form, but that doesn't mean that anything goes and development should be rushed. This may have been a good development, but the case was never made to convince those worried about downtown.

The city has struggled for years to create a clear planning process for developers to follow. They've made improvements by, for example, simplifying the sign approval process, but, as Cindy Pearce said during the public hearing, "We don't collec-tively understand the development process."

That is something council and city staff have to wrestle with. They've done a good job with the Mackenzie Village process so far, but they botched the Revelstoke Crossing one.

One of my responsibilities on city council is chair of the Economic Development Committee. As a result I would like to write about where we are, currently, from an economic development perspective and where and how I am anticipating we will continue to move forward.

Overall, Revelstoke is moving in a positive di-rection in terms of economic growth. Over the past year, the number of business licenses has in-creased and we have seen several businesses open up or which are scheduled to open shortly. Down-ie Timber, one of our largest employers, gave a presentation to council last week and indicated that over the last several years it has increased the size of its investment and operation in Revel-stoke and now provides 300 full-time jobs and an annual payroll of $25 million, including benefits.

Tourism dollars continue to rise, and this is evident from the number of skiers, sledders, mountain bike riders and other visitors coming to town. The Business Retention & Expansion Strategy, which came out in the fall of 2015, indi-cates that our predominant businesses are small and medium-sized, independently owned busi-nesses, most of which report being in a growth cycle and are planning to expand within the next three years.

This is good news, as positive economic growth improves the overall strength and social fabric of our community. However, we can always do bet-ter, and I view one of the important roles of city council is to shepherd economic development in a way which is good for all aspects of the commu-nity and makes it stronger.

Economic development crosses over into many areas of city responsibility such as planning, la-bour and housing. One of the things that council

needs to do in order to effectively do its job in this regard is to engage in more planning so that we understand and know what growth is best for the community, and we so that are ready to create opportunities and meet those that come our way. Here are some of the issues we need to deal with:

1. We need to determine what businesses Rev-elstoke should attract for positive growth, which will complement the existing businesses we have. Given the incredible lifestyle we have in Revel-stoke and which is so attractive to people coming to the community, we need to use this to our ad-vantage. In today’s Internet society, where peo-ple can work for companies throughout the world using a home base, Revelstoke can be marketed as an attractive home base for these individuals. Other similar opportunities and strategies need to be worked on and developed.

2. The city commissioned a Revelstoke Retail Strategy Report in August 2006 which needs to be updated and actively used in drawing appro-priate and needed retail businesses to Revelstoke.

3. The city needs to hire someone to assist our current Economic Development Officer, Alan Mason, to actively coordinate and seek out new business opportunities to come to Revelstoke.

4. The Revelstoke Labour Market Survey, pre-pared in 2015, confirms what most businesses already know — that we have a labour shortage in Revelstoke. As a result, we need to develop la-bour attraction and retention strategies in order to be able to attract the businesses who need to employ this labour pool. Coupled with that, we will need to develop better housing strategies to assure that Revelstoke has good and affordable housing for the labour force.

5. We need to take a better look at our Official Community Plan and various land bylaws to be sure where and what type of business growth we want to see in Revelstoke.

These are just a few of the areas that I believe we need to address sooner rather than later. It in-volves a tremendous amount of creativity, energy and work over the next several years. Revelstoke is seen by many others outside of our community as a strong and vibrant city, a “jewel” where peo-ple want to live and work and raise their families. That is evident by the number of young people who have come to live in here in the last few years.

The number of volunteers who already devote time and energy in this regard will no doubt allow us to accomplish the goals we set. The strength of Revelstoke has always been in knowing who we are, and working together to make our commu-nity the best that it can be.

Publishing the week of november 16

In 2017 Canada will be celebrating 150 years since confederation. The Right Honorable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada has challenged the Revelstoke Community Foundation to develop a Smart and Caring Community Fund. The Revelstoke Community Foundation provided a contest in November 2015 to give away 3 donations to their favorite charities. Entrants had to say what they thought would make Revelstoke a Smart and Caring Community. Winners were chosen by random draw from all entries. There were two adult and one youth winner chosen.

Following are the winners and their chosen charity:Jackie Morris – has directed the donation to Revelstoke Bear AwareCollette Poirier – has selected the North Columbia Environmental Society Gavin Richardson (youth) – has designated his to the Revelstoke BC Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The Foundation will review all the submissions and from there develop the criteria for qualifying for a grant from the Smart and Caring Endowment. Thank-you to everyone for entering and helping the Foundation to create the framework in anticipation of the 2017 celebration.

It was while climbing in Kalymnos, Greece, in an area called The Beach, that Amanda Geary first saw the wreck-age of a sunken raft and the reality of the refugee crisis re-ally struck home. Among the debris she saw floating in the water were shoes the same size her toddler son wears.

The debris was the result of the sinking of a raft that had been filled to over capacity with Syrian refugees. Geary said the sinking of the refugee raft happened somewhere be-tween October 26 and 27. While 138 people were rescued, 19 people died.

“We knew there were refugees arriving every day. We were saddened but we didn't see the rescued refugees, and then that day we decided to go to a climbing area called the Beach, which is on the other side of the island, about an hour drive from where the refugees are processed and then it's another half an hour hike in, so it's very remote and that is where you can see Turkey in the distance,” said Geary, who was in Greece for a family and climbing vacation with her husband Alex and son Dax.

“That [The Beach] is where you could see all the wreck-age and there was no one around, just life jackets, clothing, personal items, tiny shoes things like that and there is no one there because they had been found the day before,” she said.

Immediately after seeing the wreckage, Geary and her family went back to the house they were renting, packed up any belongings they felt they could part with and took them to a local shelter. Geary also wrote a blog post ex-pressing her emotions at having seen the debris floating in the water so close to where they were climbing.

“We knew of a local hotel near us that was taking cloth-ing to a local shelter and I went and spoke with them and I said, 'Can I take it down myself?' We did that and that's when I wrote the first blog post, my feelings and emotions I'd experienced to that point and I didn't know we were go-ing to start fundraising but I just put it out there and put a link to my business Pay Pal saying people could e-transfer

me and I applied for a Go Fund Me which took about 24 hours,” said Geary.

The next day the Gearys had raised $500, and the day after that it was $1,000.

“And then it got crazy,” she saidIn under a week, $6,000 was raised to purchase much

needed supplies for the refugees. She was able to make ar-rangements to deliver these personally to the refugee cen-tre, and created a relationship with the centre's coordina-tor, a woman named Nina, who she has maintained contact with. Geary explained that the refugee centre runs with no monetary support from the government.

Even now, back in the safety of Revelstoke, Geary is de-termined to provide help for the refugees who arrive with literally nothing but the clothes on their backs when they are affected by a raft sinking.

She has kept the Go Fund Me page she created open, so that people can donate money towards purchasing ferry tickets for refugees who have been affected by rafts sink-

ing to continue their journey from Kalymnos to Athens, Greece.

While getting to Athens is simply another stop in a multi-bureaucratic process for the refugees, Geary said she is hopeful that by providing ferry tickets, there is a chance for refugees to be reunited with families – as often families can only afford to purchase one raft ticket at a time from individuals Geary refers to as “people smugglers.”

The going rate for one ticket on the raft is around $7,000. The rafts are filled to overcapacity, and the lifejackets are often filled with paper, and unusable.

Geary told one story about a young boy who had arrived with only a piece of paper with a phone number on it. Nina, the woman from the shelter insisted he stay with her. The phone number was from Australia, and when they phoned it, it turned out it was the child's older brother who had been sent earlier. The two were able to be reunited.

tously in the past 20 years. According to the SARA registry, the Columbia South herd, which ranges near Revelstoke, declined to only seven animals in 2013. The Columbia North herd had 183 animals in 2013.

The southern mountain population now has 1,540 animals, according to SARA. Of 19 herds being tracked, three are considered gone, 12 are decreasing in population, three have stable popula-tions, and only one – the Narrow Lake herd in the Upper Fraser valley – is increasing in numbers. Five herds have less than 10 animals left.

The situation has resulted in numerous efforts to stop the decline and hopefully stabilize and even increase caribou populations. Last week, a group of researchers gathered in Revelstoke to share their research and have it examined by Stan Boutin and Evelyn Merrill, two scientists from the University of Alberta. Boutin and Daniels gave an overview of their analysis at a public information session last Wednesday, Nov. 25.

They said habitat protection and restoration was key, but focused their presentation on population management projects, including primary-prey re-duction, predator production and maternity pen-ning.

One project, led by Revelstoke researcher Rob Serrouya, involved reducing moose numbers in the area of the North Columbia herd. With liberalized hunting regulations, the moose population was re-duced to about 300, from 1,500. That, in turn, led to a decline in wolf population. The caribou population was stable over the course of the experiment, but Boutin was cautious in praising the results.

“It certainly didn’t hit the home run we hoped it would in terms of popping these populations back up in number,” he said.

Boutin also looked at the controversial wolf cull, noting that it helped stop the decline in caribou numbers elsehwere, “but we haven’t been able to get them to grow back.”

He said it will take time for data to come in from the wolf cull to determine the results.

The maternity pens were also examined. Two have been built – one near Revelstoke, and the other near Chetwynd – but they’ve been in place for only a few years. “The bottom line in terms of what’s been happening with the pen is it’s two years in develop-

ment, and there’s lots and lots of learning, but the results have been marginal to say the least,” Boutin said. “It’s too early to make and decisions.”

His general conclusion was that recovery efforts needed to focus on a combination of the above strat-egies. “We haven’t hit any home runs by any means,” he said. “Maybe we have to have that pen set up with some local predator control to get these little guys up to an age where they’re virtually invulnerable to predators.

“We probably have to pull out all the stops for these herds because we’re in such a tough situation.”

He said they would be producing a more detailed report in the future.

There are various recovery strategies being imple-mented. The province introduced its recovery strat-egy in 2007 and the federal government produced one in 2014, however numbers continue to decline.

The federal strategy calls for the southern moun-tain caribou population to be increased to 2,500. It lists predation as the biggest issue, while habitat protection is also a concern.

Stephen Hureau said the reclassification of the species to endangered wouldn’t change things on the ground.

“From a Federal regulatory perspective it doesn’t change anything, but I think the listing as endan-gered, it just raises the profile, it raises the priority," he said. "It would ensure we’re focusing on those herds as a unit, looking at all their threats and their requirement for recovery.”

Hureau said they are working on mapping cari-bou habitat. There is fear amongst local forestry companies that the federal government will recom-mend closing most of the timber harvest land base to logging, however it would be up the provincial government to implement any recommendations on Crown land.

“It’s a very large range,” said Hureau. “A lot of B.C. is covered by the current population of southern mountain caribou.”

He said the mapping would be released to the public in 2016. The Federal government has also committed to creating an action plan by the end of 2017.

“We don’t have an identifiable planning process but we are working with some partners to get people together to talk about what needs to happen on a more local or regional level to talk about the most endangered herds in the southern mountain popu-lation,” he said.

The Optomap was designed by an Optometrist whose son lost vision in one of his eyes due to a retinal detachment that went undetected until it was too late. His son was having yearly eye examinations but due to limitations with traditional methods of evaluation, it was missed. The developer of the Optomap wanted to create a method that allowed for more thorough evaluation with a non-invasive technique.

What is the Optomap?The Optomap is an ultra-wide digital retinal imaging system that captures over 80% of your retina in one panoramic image; traditional methods only capture about 10-15% of your retina at one time.

Why is it important to have a retinal exam?During retinal examinations we assess the health of eye looking for retinal tears and detachments; we can also assess systemic health as conditions like heart disease and diabetes due to changes in the retina.

What is the benefit of the Optomap?We still assess the health of your retina even if you do not have an Optomap photo taken; however, traditional manual methods can be difficult to perform and do not provide a digital record.

Who should have the Optomap? Every patient should have an Optomap image done. Especially children; many vision problems begin at an early age and at times attention span difficulties can make thorough retinal assessments difficult. The Optomap is a quick, non-invasive photo that is used to help assess retinal health.

How often should you being getting the Optomap done?At every routine appointment. The benefit of the Optomap is that it maintains a digital record to compare current retinal health. Subtle changes are more apparent allowing for earlier invention of disease.

The Revelstoke Optometry Centre strives to help preserve your most precious sense. It is our belief that the Optomap is an effective diagnostic tool to monitor your retinal health. We recommend every patient have the Optomap done as part of the routine eye examination. We are happy to answer any further questions you may have about the Optomap images.

Red Bull announced plans to host its signature ski event Cold Rush at Revelstoke Mountain Re-sort this winter.

The energy drink and media company is giving the event another shot after weather and poor snow conditions prevented the 2015 event from taking off.

Red Bull Cold Rush is scheduled for Feb. 2–5, 2016, at RMR. The event will see 21 of the the top freeskiers in the world take part in a combination of big mountain skiing, backcountry slopestyle, cliff jumping, and ski touring.

"While relying on the weather can be frus-trating, it also highlights the uniqueness of the event; a big mountain spectacle that truly de-pends on the good graces of nature," stated Red Bull in a news release. "There are no carefully groomed runs, elaborate scaffolding, or cooling systems that would allow a more controlled con-test to run in temperatures on the plus side of

zero."The event hasn't been held since the 2012 edi-

tion in Silverton, Colorado. Last winter it was scheduled for February at RMR, only to be post-poned when unseasonably warm weather played havoc with snow conditions in the backcountry. It was re-scheduled for late-March, however once again the weather didn't cooperate and the compe-tition was canceled.

This year's Cold Rush will see the four events take place over three days. Skiers will be judged on speed, style and technique. The athletes will judge each other, and the fans will have a chance to vote for the People's Choice Award.

Sixteen men and five women will compete for the $36,000 in prize money. They are:

Men: Mike Henitiuk, Dave Treadway, Sean Pet-tit, Dane Tudor, Sammy Carlson, Alexi Godbout, Callum Pettit, Kye Petersen, Riley Leboe, Wiley Miller, Logan Pehota, Greg Hope, Johnny Collin-son, Stan Rey, Joe Schuster, and Josh Bibby.

Women: Tatum Monod, Michelle Parker, Angel Collinson, Lexi Dupont and Suz Graham.

Grizzlies falter with three straight losses

The Revelstoke Grizzlies came close to salvaging a disap-pointing week. Then they let it slip away.

The Grizzlies lost 5-3 to the Fernie Ghostriders on Satur-day at the Forum, giving them a four game losing streak as they approach the season's midway point.

The week started last Tuesday, Nov. 24, in Chase, where Revelstoke lost a 1-0 defensive battle to the team they're chasing in the standings. Aidan Doak made 27 saves in the Revelstoke net, but his teammates were unable to get one past Chase Heat netminder Nic Bruyere.

"That game could have went either way in my opinion," said coach Ryan Parent.

On Friday, the Grizzlies were back in Chase for an at-tempt at revenge. Instead, the found themselves on the wrong end of a 6-1 shellacking. The Heat scored once in the first, twice in the second and three in the third period — including two in the final two minutes as the Grizzlies at-tempted a comeback.

Defenceman Jackson Caller, who the Grizzlies acquired after he was released by the WHL Portland Winterhawks, scored the lone goal for Revelstoke.

"I thought we got outworked," said Parent. "We have to be better against Chase."

On Saturday, Revelstoke was at home to play the Fernie Ghostriders. The teams traded goals in the first period, with Cole Keebler scoring for Fernie and Aaron Aragon for Revelstoke.

Keebler, who leads the KIJHL in scoring, put the Ghostriders in front 3-1 with a pair of second period goals, however the tides turned when he left the game with an injury.

The Grizzlies came out firing in the third. Wyatt Gott-schalk got Revelstoke within one 45 seconds into the pe-riod and the team pushed relentlessly to even things up,

but the tying goal didn't come until Caller fired home a shot from the high slot with 94 seconds to go.

Then the breakdown happened. With the score tied, Revelstoke went for the win instead of taking it easy and playing for overtime. Unfortunately, their eagerness sunk them, when Ryan Kennedy capitalized on an odd-man rush to put Fernie ahead with less than a minute to go. Fernie added an empty net goal to seal the win.

"I think it comes down to mental toughness," said Parent, when asked what happened. "We needed to get the point and maybe we were thinking ahead of that."

He did credit the players for the comeback. "I think we battled hard and maybe deserved a different fate. Mentally, you get into a tie game late in the game and you just want to keep the point."

This weekend Revelstoke hosts the Sicamous Eagles on Saturday before making another trip to Chase on Sunday. Revelstoke is nine points ahead of the Eagles and 11 back of Chase in the Doug Birks Division.

"We're going to work awfully hard at the very simple things," said Parent. "We were overly complicated the last couple of games so we have to work hard at playing simple hockey. And our work rate over 60 minutes needs to im-prove."

The team might have to make do without starting goal-tender Aidan Doak, who was called up to Junior A last week, though Parent was hopeful he'll return to the team. "It sounds to me like he's coming back. He usually gives us a really good chance to win."

They will also need to work on scoring. They are near the bottom of the league in goals for and not a single player has reached double-digits in goals or is close to a point-per-game.

"We have to be very simple, shoot the puck and drive re-bounds," said Parent. "Right now we look too much to score on first opportunities."

Revelstoke Secondary School's senior volleyball team, com-prised of 11 boys in grade 11 and 12, alongside two grade nines, took the eight hour ride down to Abbotsford to play in the volleyball provincials last week.

The boys prepared for this trek by all shaving their team numbers into the side of their head, and the school celebrated and cheered them on with the first pep rally the school has seen in a very long time. The old ram mascot even came out of hiding for it.

They played five games in total over the weekend. They fought hard and eventually finished as eighth in the province, winning the Most Sportsmanlike award, which is no surprise to any of us back home.

"It was a good end to an amazing season," says Callum Hicks, who was named to the tournament's second all star team.

The team also made a political statement at the tournament, sport-ing warm-up jerseys that read "feminism means equality."

"They are an incredible and considerate group of young men and a talented group of athletes. I'm so proud of them," said coach Sheena Bell.

The team thanked their sponsors for helping them get to Abbotsford: Revelstoke Credit Union, H&R Block, Southside Grocery, Cooper's, Ar-row Helicopters, the RSS Parent Advisory Committee, and Patti Mat-sushita.

Their whole season was full of success and this was the best way for them to end it. Now that the boy are home, they can relax and start to shred the amazing snow up on RMR.

REVY FOAMSPRAY FOAM INSULATION

December 6th, 2015 is Canada’s National Day of Remembrance

Lighting A Candle In Support Of The Action On Violence Against Women

In 1991, the federal government proclaimed December 6th as “Canada’s National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women.” December 6th, 2015 marks the 25th anniversary of the École Polytechnique Massacre, also known as the Montreal Massacre.

On December 6th, 1989, a lone gunman, 25-year-old Marc Lepine, entered a classroom at the university where he separated the male and female students. Lepine claimed he was fighting feminism and, calling the women “a bunch of feminists,” he shot all nine women, killing six. He then moved through the corridors, cafeteria and another classroom, targeting women. In 20 minutes he shot and killed 14 women and injured another ten. Lepine then turned the gun on himself, commit-ting suicide. His suicide note claimed political motives and blamed feminists for ruining his life.

The women who lost their lives that day were all young, inspiring women.

Those 14 women were:• Geneviève Bergeron: 21 years old and in her second year of a scholarship in Mechanical Engineering;• Hélène Colgan: 23 years old and in her final year of mechanical engineering;• Nathalie Croteau: 23 years old and graduating as a mechanical engineer;• Barbara Daigneault: 22 years old. She was graduating as a mechanical engineer and was working as

a teacher’s assistant at another engineering school;• Anne-Marie Edward: 21 years old and studying chemical engineering;• Maud Haviernick: 29 years old and in second-year metallurgical engineering;• Barbara Maria Klucznik–Widajewicz: 31 years old and a first-year nursing student;• Maryse Leclair: 23 years old and in fourth-year metallurgical engineering;• Anne-Marie Lemay: 22 years old and in fourth-year mechanical engineering;• Sonia Pelletier: 28 years old, she was killed the day before graduating with a degree in mechanical

engineering;• Annie Turcotte: 21 years old and in her first year of metallurgical engineering;• Michelle Richard: 21 years old and in her second year of metallurgical engineering;• Maryse Laganière: a 25-year-old nonstudent, she worked in the budget department of the

engineering school;• Annie St-Arneault: 23 years old and a mechanical engineering student.

The Revelstoke Women’s Shelter believes that all people should be able to live free of violence. OnDecember 6th, take a moment to remember these 14 women and the impact that violence madeon the lives of all of us that day.

I want the right development," she said. "I don’t think we’ve discovered if this is the right development.”

Orlando made similar comments. He said he didn't think the city's planning documents supported the mall develop-ment, and that the majority of residents opposed it.

"They say we can do better than this, and I think we can do better than this," he said. "I haven’t seen a lot from the proponent to sup-port this development. I really don’t think that I’ve been convinced.”

With Mayor Mark McKee's vote almost certainly in favour, it meant that it was up to Sulz to cast the decid-ing vote. He voted for it in October, and he made comments at the end of the public hear-ing that seemed to lean voting in favour once again.

"We need to do it for the entire community, not just for a select few. We need jobs in this community, we need to keep people here," he said before McKee closed the public hear-ing. “We need to build our tax base, because if you want o continue to have the services you now enjoy, we need to have development somehow, somewhere.”

However, when it came time to voting, Sulz voted against third reading.

"The risk for me is absolutely enormous," he said. "If we don’t put something on that property, than the de-cision that I may make now will be left to the community for the years to come. It might be the biggest mistake I’ve ever made."

By the time Mayor McKee spoke, the vote was a done deal. Still, he voiced his support for the re-zoning.

"I guess what I’m say-ing is move forward, approve it, sit down with the developers at the table," he said. "They seem like very nice people, they seem to really want to do the right thing. Come up with a development that fits our commu-nity and fits the down-town core. If it’s turned down, I hope they will stay and come up with a development that fits our community and en-hances our downtown core.”

The vote was called, the bylaw was de-feated and an applause went out through the remaining crowd.

Steve Platt, who owns the property in question, declined a request by the Review for an interview.

The community is also seeking ways to move forward. The debate proved to be di-visive and several calls came for Revelsto-

kians not to let the vote create permanent wounds in the community.

"Whether this goes through or does not, we want you to know we do care," said Sulz. “I want to continue to live in this community and live free to know I can walk the street knowing that I’ve done the best.”

The other issue is what comes next.

There was unanimous support for devel-opment at the public hearing, just not the kind of development being proposed. There was lots of talk about hotels, and how to attract that investment will un-doubtedly be a subject of discussion in the months and years to come.
