Recreation clubs pushing for continued use of logging roads slated for deactivation — 4

Asset management. It's a term that comes up frequently during a 90 minute conversation I had about infrastruc-ture with Mike Thomas, the City of Revelstoke's director of engineering and development last week.

Asset management — meaning knowing the condition of Revelstoke's infrastructure assets, what needs and will need replacing, and what it will cost to maintain or replace existing infrastructure in the most efficient and sustainable way possible.

"I don't want to be going into a road and digging up a water main if in five years time we'll have to go back and do the sewer main," Thomas tells me "If we can get away with doing all of it at once — that's where we're trying to get to with the asset management."

I sat down with Thomas to get an idea of the state of the city's infrastructure; infrastructure deficits are major issues in municipalities across the country, so how is Revelstoke doing?

The goal is to look at issues facing the city as we head into a municipal election campaign, much as the Times Review is doing with the series on poverty.

"The infrastructure side of things, I want to get to a point where's there's confidence we're designing infra-structure for a sustainable future," Thomas said. "That doesn't mean it's going to last for generations, but it's been designed in such a way it would be easy to maintain."

The interview covered a wide range of topics, but the main focus was on water, sewer and roads.

On waterRevelstoke has about 100 kilometres of water pipes cir-

culating beneath the ground throughout the city. They’re all connected to the water treatment plant in the Greeley Area that was built in 1996 for a cost of about $6 million.

Thomas said the city's water system meets all the requirements set by Interior Health.

Still, there are issues, notably in determining how much water is leaking from the system. A report released late last year estimated the water loss through leakage at any-where from 24 to 78 per cent of water in the system. Now work is underway to refine those numbers and determine where those leaks are happening.

Proper asset management and sustainable infrastructure the key to the future, says Mike Thomas, the city’s director of engineering and development.

It’s official: David Raven running for third term

The state of the infrastructure

In an expected move, David Raven confirmed he is seeking re-election for a third term as mayor of Revelstoke.

"I'd like to continue on the work I've got started here," he told the Times Review in an interview Monday morning after returning from the Union of BC Municipalities conference in Whister. "There's things particularly around fiscal prudence, addressing debt and building up reserves that I'd like to complete."

Raven has been mayor since 2008 when he won a three-way election battle against Bill MacFarlane and Matt Singh. Prior to that he was a coun-cillor for 1.5 years. He was the manager of the Columbia Forest District for 20 years until he was let go as part of a restructuring in 2010.

He was acclaimed as mayor in 2011 after no one ran against him. This time he will face a battle against Mark McKeee, his predecessor as mayor.

Raven's two terms as mayor have seen some controversy. In his first term, the city, led by former planning director John Guenther, embarked on several ambitious planning exercises that were predicated on explosive resort growth. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent on plans that were either canceled or remain in draft form. As well, big money was bor-rowed for infrastructure projects.

Raven was also knocked for high spending at city hall and increasing debt levels. Business owners complained of high taxes and slow and con-fusing permit processes. Still, the number of business licenses issued by the city has grown and hotel revenues have increased since 2008.

The annual financial reports from finance director Graham Inglis grew increasingly dire.

Last year the city changed course when Guenther resigned and a restruc-turing began at city hall. The last two budgets have had more of a focus on lowering debt and building up reserves.

Raven said he thinks the city "is in fairly good fiscal shape." "The reports will show a big decrease in the debt we've got and at the

same we'll be able to build reserves," he said, referring to 2014. "Reserves allow us to complete projects without having to borrow into the future and provide a conservative buffer for future operations."

When asked about his accomplishments, Raven pointed to infrastruc-ture investments, the growth of the resort, social initiatives and supporting to the economy.

"There's been fairness in everything that we've approached, and trans-parency. We've addressed the needs of the economy in a growing, balanced economy," he said. "We provided tax relief to Downie when they needed it but they're now in a position where they're a very major and successful employer in the community."

Raven and the current council are being challenged by a slate that is campaigning on better fiscal prudence and a more business-friendly envi-ronment in Revelstoke in order to encourage growth.

"What they're saying is the council of the day is a bunch of spend thrifts and don't have a clue," he said when asked about the challengers. "When they get in here and look at the accounts and have to put their opinions and recommendations on the table, it will be a different matter."

His goals, if re-elected, are to continue to find restraints in spending, address infrastructure and encourage more business growth in the tourism sector of the economy.

FortisBC has moved one step closer to bringing natural gas to Revelstoke.

In a news release last week, the utility announced they are evaluating the economic and technical viability of converting Revelstoke to a natural gas fuel system from the current propane system.

The development wouldn’t involve building an LNG pipeline to Revelstoke — instead it would be transported here from the Lower Mainland, stored and then vapourized and piped into the system as needed.

“Bringing the bene� ts of natural gas to Revel-stoke has been discussed for years, but connecting the community to existing gas lines simply wasn’t

viable,” said Doug Stout, FortisBC’s vice-presi-dent, market development and external relations, in a news release. “However, LNG has opened the door to powering remote communities with natural gas, and we believe Revelstoke may be a good � t. The proposed project is an example of the versatil-ity of LNG and the positive impact it can have for communities in British Columbia.”

The Times Review � rst reported on this possi-bility in March, when a FortisBC spokesperson said the plans were in “very early stages.” Now the plan has moved into the planning and consultation stage.

Natural gas prices have been trending down-wards recently while propane prices have increased, so the conversion should mean lower-heating bills for Revelstokians.

“Many of us in Revelstoke are drawn here by the natural beauty and lifestyle of the area. To have natural gas powering Revelstoke would mean resi-dents and businesses can reduce their carbon foot-print,” said Revelstoke Mayor David Raven. “Hav-ing a cleaner burning fuel that’s more affordable is a win-win for our community.”

Downie Timber expressed support for the plan, saying it would help reduce their energy costs.

“We’re committed to responsible environmental stewardship and ongoing improvements and devel-opment of our manufacturing facilities,” said Alan Smythe, operations manager of the Downie Tim-ber sawmill. “FortisBC’s plan to bring natural gas to the community would help us with both of those goals.”

No timeline has been set for the conversion project.

The city is also looking at proposals for the development of a bioenergy plant that would con-vert wood waste into green energy such as liq-uid diesel. More than 50 responses were received from an initial request for expressions of interest. The responses are now being reviewed by consul-tant John Christie.

We’re getting close to the flu season again, a time when some people try to decide whether to get a flu shot or not. Why suffer through the flu if you don’t have to? Although the shots haven’t been 100% effective, they certainly reduce the chances of your getting the flu and at the same time you are protecting others as well.

The flu vaccine can’t

give you the flu. It contains only a killed virus which cannot infect you but builds up antibodies against the flu virus. Nasal vaccines do contain a live virus but have the parts of the virus removed to reduce side effects.

Some people feel that if they get the flu once in a season that are protected from getting it again. Not so. Both types A and B flu viruses

circulate each season and if one infects, you still could be infected by another strain.

People talk about side effects of flu vaccine. In 2012 in Ontario, 7.8 million publicly-funded flu shots were given. Of those, there were 252 sore arms, 137 rashes and 47 fevers. And only 56 of the adverse effects were labeled “serious”. Flu vaccines are very safe and side effects are

very few.

By the way, it is safe to get a flu shot if you are pregnant. Because pregnancy puts extra stress on the immune system, there is an increased risk of getting the flu if you aren’t vaccinated. You are also doing your baby a favour as well. If you have any questions about flu shots, our pharmacists will be very happy to answer them.

The first step is to calibrate the existing water metres in place throughout the system. They have been in place for up to 40 years and some have never been calibrated since they were installed.

“Even a small error means you can be 10–20 per cent wrong,” said Thomas.

That work is supposed to be done this fall. Thomas also hopes to install more metres through-out the city to improve the data. Once the metres are ready, flows will be monitored and compared to expected use based on the number of houses in an area.

The next step is acoustic leak detection to find out where the leaks are happening. Then, “At some point you have to start repair-ing these things,” said Thomas.

Replacing pipes is another item on the city’s agenda. The pipe that was just replace outside city hall was a cast iron pipe that was 80 years old. The pipe was lined with organic material, effectively halv-ing its diameter and reducing the flow. In its place is a PVC pipe that is expected to last a century.

Another pipe that is slated for replacement is the one that crosses the Illecillewaet River to feed Arrow Heights and Revelstoke Mountain Resort. When it was built 15 years ago, it was buried in the river under a layer of rocks, how-ever the force of the river shifted the rocks, exposing the pipe.

It is expected to cost $600,000 to dig a tunnel under the river and lay a new pipe. Thomas said the project is the city’s highest priority water project at the moment. “This is an important piece of infrastructure to ensure we have water service at the level residents expect,” Thomas said.

Another pipe he brought up was an old 12-inch concrete pipe under Oak Drive in Johnson Heights. It is earmarked for replacement, but first they will check the condition of the pipe before undertaking the expen-

sive project.The city has good data on the

age of pipes in the city, Thomas said, but condition is also some-thing to consider. “In terms of put-ting a percentage on the condition of the pipes or how many are close to failing or needing replacement, I’d say a very small percentage is at that critical point.”

On sewerThe biggest problem with Revel-

stoke’s sewer system is inflow and infiltration, said Thomas.

“It effectively reduces the capac-ity of pipes, the pumps and the treatment plant,” he said. “You end up carrying more sewer that’s diluted by rain water. If we can get that rainwater out of the sewer, the effective capacity of our infrastruc-ture increases.”

One of the worst locations for that inflow is near Kovach Park — when the Columbia River rises, groundwater seeps in through the manholes — but it’s a problem all over town.

“The times our pump stations are overwhelmed is during storms, so there’s a lot of rain water get-ting into the station,” said Thomas. “If we can reduce that inflow and infiltration, it extends the life of all those assets — the effective capac-ity from a development perspec-tive.”

Another issue with the sewer system is the age of some of the lift stations that help transport liquid waste to the treatment plant near the industrial park. The Downie lift station was recently replaced at a cost of $2.2 million, and other lift stations are in need of work.

A big project looming over the city is the movement of the sew-age outflow to the Columbia River, as has been mandated by the Minis-try of the Environment. The cost of the project is estimated at $4.5 mil-lion, but Thomas said he is in dis-cussions with the ministry to look at other options.

“It really is early days,” he said. “If we are mandated to do it, we

will move ahead with it. If that’s what the ministry says we must do to keep our operating permit, that’s what we’ll do. I’d like us to eval-uate our options before we spend $4.5 million on a pipe.”

On rOadsThe third piece we discussed at

length was the state of the city’s roads. Thomas said he wants to undertake a pavement management plan that would look at the state of the city’s roads and also set out the condition to which they’re main-tained.

The first step would be to bring in a piece of technology that would scan the city’s 60-kilometre road network. The machine looks at all the cracks, surface distresses and other issues with a road and gives it a pavement score from 0 to 100.

“Once you’ve got that score, you can start working on level or ser-vice,” said Thomas. “As a commu-nity, what standard do we want our roads to be at, at an average?”

Level of service is something that would have be determined by council; it would be up to pub-lic works to maintain roads to that standard. A critical element to save money would be to fix roads before they fall into complete disrepair.

Unfortunately, some roads in town are in disrepair. Thomas pointed to the section of Sec-ond Street in Lower Town, which he said is in need of a complete rebuild. Doing that is much more expensive than doing minor repairs over time. It’s cheaper to do incre-mental repairs every few years to maintain a road at a pavement score of 70 than it is to let it fall apart and do a major rebuild every 30 years.

“I think managing our roads like that has the potential to be half the cost of letting the roads fail and having to rebuild them,” he said. “The biggest challenge I think we face is a number of roads have dete-riorated beyond the point of reme-dial work.”

MajOr prOjectsThomas and I also discussed

some major projects the city is looking at in the near to long-term. These include issues such as the Trans-Canada/Victoria/Mutas intersection, the Victoria/Fourth/Townley junction, the Illecillewaet Bridge and Big Eddy Bridge.

Discussions are underway to fix the highway intersection, but there are major challenges to find a solu-tion that will satisfy the Ministry of Transportation, the city and the businesses that rely on highway traffic.

“I’ve got sketches of poten-tial intersection designs. I know it would work for my needs, but I think it won’t work for the min-istry,” said Thomas. “Well, what would work for the ministry?”

Thomas also said he has started to work on the Victoria/Fourth/Townley intersection. For that one, he is working with CP Rail to make sure his designs are com-patible with their needs, since CP has a spur line that stretches across Fourth Street.

“That one is less about the busi-nesses and highways. It’s more about us as a community,” he said. “I think just about everyone in town uses that intersection very regu-larly.”

The Illecillewaet Bridge is another potentially costly piece of essential infrastructure that could need upgrading. The bridge is aging, though it is still in fairly good shape, and a replacement could cost in the tens of millions.

The Big Eddy Bridge presents a similar predicament; the bridge is nearing the end of its lifespan and its future is uncertain.

An issue that needs to be resolved with both bridges is who takes responsibility — both are jointly run by the city and the min-istry of transportation so there will need to be collaboration on any future work.

what’s it gOing tO cOst?

One thing I wanted to get an idea of is what it will cost to maintain Revelstoke’s infrastructure, and how able the city is to pay for it.

On the first question, Thomas said a key piece to the asset man-agement plan being developed is getting a rough idea of what it will cost to maintain or replace all city assets over time.

“We need to do that for every asset in the city over the life of those assets,” he said. “If you have a 20-year plan, you should see every road in the city on that plan.”

What about the city’s capacity to pay? “To do things the way things have been done the last 50 years, I’m not sure there’s enough money to do that for everything,” replied Thomas. “One of the things I’d like to see is integrating these projects so that we’re spending 20 per cent less when we do things all together, rather than one at a time.”

That means looking at the state of all the infrastructure in the ground before undertaking project. One of the goals of the asset man-agement plan is to give a score to the condition of road, sewer and water infrastructure in every cor-ridor. That way you can prioritize work based on what area has the highest cumulative score.

Is the road in rough shape but the water main still has five years left in it? Well, then wait five years before doing the work.

“Maybe we don’t do that worst road first, we do the one that has the worst risk of water main break,” said Thomas.

You can also look at making infrastructure more sustainable, such as narrowing roads to make the cost of repairs and plowing lower in the future.

“We have a plan. We’re working on that plan,” said Thomas. “The plan being focus on sustainable asset management. There’s a num-ber of pieces we need to develop along the way to make sure we’re managing those assets sustainably.”

City will need to re-think projects to be sustainableInfrastructure, from page 1

Local groups are rallying to keep several logging roads that are under threat of deactivation open.

A number of logging roads that access recreation sites are set for deactivation in the coming years as logging company Stella Jones con-cludes its harvesting operations in the Revelstoke area for the foresee-able future.

The roads that could be deacti-vated include the Boulder Moun-tain Road, McCrae Road, the southern end of the Crawford Road, branches of the Frisby Ridge Road and the South Begbie Road.

“It’s stupid. We don’t want to do it. We have a legal obligation that when we’re done with an area, we have to deactivate it,” said Pat McMechan of Stella Jones at an open house held to seek feedback on the deactivation plans. “We are hoping that enough people will come here today and write on the comment sheets and express their concerns that government recog-nizes these are high recreation areas and they should have perma-

nent access.”At the open house maps show-

ing the logging roads that could be deactivated were on display. Numerous people, including rep-resentatives from the snowmobile club, ATV club, rod and gun club, and cycling association attended the open house.

The deactivations would restrict access to several recreation sites and trails, including the McCrae hiking trail, Mount Sproat ATV trail, and the Boulder Mountain snowmobile and downhill moun-tain biking trails.

The good news is that McCrae and Boulder could be turned into Forest Service Roads, meaning the roads are public and government is responsible for their maintenance.

“It’s high public use, so I’m pretty sure I can work something out, but I can’t commit to that because it’s a funding request,” said Andrew Davies, an engineer-ing officer with the Columbia For-est District. “I’ll sit down, we’ll have a logical plan based on input from the public, what’s it going to cost.”

He said taking over the road to

Sproat would be more difficult due to liability concerns. “From an engineering perspective this is a red flag for me long term.”

Daniel Kellie, the president of the Revelstoke Snowmobile Club, said the club’s board would be dis-cussing the issue at an upcoming meeting.

“We’ll approach forestry and we’ll see if we can convince them to turn it into an FSR road,” he said referring to Boulder Mountain. More comments would be made after the board meeting.

Andrew Clark, the director for downhill trails for the Revelstoke Cycling Association, said he hopes

the government takes over the Boulder Road. “Its such a huge rec-reation area for so many multi-use groups,” he said. “I think it would be a huge, huge loss all around if it’s not taken over by the MoF.”

Tom Dickson, the president of the Revelstoke ATV club said they would be pushing to have the road to Sproat turned into an FSR. He said the club has made significant investments into the Sproat Moun-tain trail and the fire lookout at the summit. They are planning on spending more money to fix up the trail in the coming years.

“We’re going to follow through the process, put in our comments and hopefully someone will lis-ten and we’ll go on from there,” he said.

The Rod and Gun Club will also be pushing to keep the roads open. “Our primary concern is the roads are drivable after they deactivate them and that whoever does the maintenance maintains them,” he said. “We understand there’s going to be deactivation but we want it done in a manner that still provides access and provides access to vehi-cles.”

Chuck Ferguson running for seat on Revelstoke council

Another Revelstoke business person has thrown his hat into the ring for a run at a council seat.

Chuck Ferguson, who is best known in town through his involvement with the Village Idiot, Big Eddy Pub and Chubby Fun-sters, announced last Thursday he is running for council.

"I think it's time for a change," he told the Times Review in an interview.

Ferguson, like all the new can-didates so far, said he is running on a platform of attracting new busi-ness to Revelstoke, reducing city

spending and trying to keep taxes low. He also wants to get young people more involved in city pol-itics.

"One of the big things is peo-ple don't think they can make a dif-ference, but at this grassroots level they can talk directly to the peo-ple involved in making decision," he said.

One of his big concerns is � nd-ing work for young people who are moving to town and starting fami-lies. He wants them to be encour-aged to start businesses and � nd good jobs, and be involved in the city.

"Young people think they don't make a difference, but they really

do," he said. "I won't be here in 20 years but these young people will be. These decisions that are made now will require the support of these young people."

Ferguson said he wants to see the city be more aggressive bring-ing businesses to town. Rather than waiting for them to come to us, we should be pursuing them.

"I think the council has to be more progressive and not react to anything," he said. "Be more pro-gressive and look for businesses to come to town and encourage ways to help them with grants."

He brought up ideas like a truck depot, or small recycling busi-nesses.

The other issue he brought up was city spending.

"We've got to � gure out ways to do things a little better, without having to buy brand new equipment every time you turn around," he said. "If you ran the city like you run a business, we could get rid of this de� cit. If you ran your business like the city's being run, we'd be broke."

The Big Eddy Waterworks issue is what spurred Ferguson to run, saying the city's handling of the matter is stunt-ing development there.

"This is the type of stuff that shouldn't be kept from the public, no matter how sensitive it is," he said. "Peoples busi-nesses and lives are at stakes here."

Ferguson joins Steve Bender, Connie Brothers, Scott Duke, Trevor English, Chris Johnston, Linda Nixon, Karen Powers, Gary Starling, and Gary Sulz in the race for council. Mark McKee is running against David Raven for mayor.

The election is set for Saturday, Nov. 15. The deadline for candidates to � le is Friday, Oct. 10, at 4 p.m.

Dear Minister,I am writing to express my unbridled

opposition to BCTS's logging plans for the area adjacent to the Mount Macpher-son recreation trails near Revelstoke. As you are surely aware, the transition from resource extraction to tourism in our part of the Columbia River drainage has become essential to the local economy. This in spite of the exponential harvest rate throughout the drainage.

The footprint in the Macpherson area now features a booming world class moun-tain bike, ski touring, cross country skiing,

hiking, mushroom and huckleberry pick-ing culture that appeals to locals and urban refugees of all ages. The economic bene-� ts to the community and ultimately tax to the provincial government should not be underestimated or subverted by your min-istry's quest for stumpage. The $300,000 return from defacing an ever more popu-lar area could be made up many times over in the time it would take to regrow what is planned by BCTS in this area.

Local sweat and resources have made this area what it is and to have it compro-mised would be shameful and tragic.

I would encourage you personally to visit this area to see what we in Revelstoke are so proud of and to enjoy the bene� ts of what we have to offer. Take the logging BCTS plans for this area off the table. The area is too valuable to compromise the way it is.

Sincerely,Jim Maitre,Revelstoke

Logging would compromise nature of Mount Macpherson

Got a question for the candidates?

The deadline for candidates to � le for this year’s election is next Friday, Oct. 10. So far, unlike the last election, we’ve seen many candidates announce early. What’s become clear is that a slate of candidates centred around the Focus Revelstoke group has emerged to challenge the existing council —most of whom it appears will be running for re-election.

The message from all the challengers has been pretty much the same — that the city has to do more to make it easier for

businesses in Revelstoke. Generally, this means reducing or at least slowing spend-ing in order to limit tax hikes.

It also means being more pro-active in trying to attract new businesses.

On the � rst issue – spending – the challengers have a pretty good argu-ment to make. Graham Inglis, the direc-tor of � nance for the City of Revelstoke, has issued grave warnings about the city’s � nances in his last few reports to coun-cil. Revelstoke has higher debt and spends more than almost all similar communities.

On the second issue – attracting new business – the argument is not as sound. New businesses are opening. The number of business licenses issued by the city is at an all-time, the value of building permits is up slightly (due to new home construc-tion), and hotel revenue is up. While those numbers don’t tell you how successful existing businesses are, on the surface the situation doesn’t appear to be that gloomy.

***While the focus of the election will

likely be on spending and the economy, there are other issues. As I looked at in this issue, Revelstoke faces several infrastruc-ture challenges that will have to be dealt with in the coming years.

We have also been collaborating with the Social Development Committee on a series of articles about poverty. The articles showcase some of the social issues facing a large section of the community.

Moving forward, I’ll be putting ques-tions directly to the candidates and will publish their responses in the paper in the weeks leading up to election day. With that in mind, I want to know what issues are important to you. If you have a ques-tion you want asked, e-mail it to [email protected], and I’ll put it to them.

There’s � ve weeks from the deadline to � le nomination papers to election day. That gives time to ask � ve questions, and I’m hoping to ask ones that really showcase the concerns of the community and not just the ones I can come up with.

World Sight Day ChallengeHELP GIVE THE GIFT OF VISION TO PEOPLE IN AREAS OF NEED

World Sight Day Challenge is the largest annual global fundraising campaign to address avoidable blindness caused by uncorrected refractive error – simply the need for an eye exam and glasses. The campaign goal for 2014 is to raise $1 million globally.

Revelstoke Optometry Centre will be accepting donations during the month of October & will match all accepted donations to help more than 600 million people in the world who are blind or vision impaired because they do not have access to an eye exam or glasses. The campaign is run by global charity, Optometry Giving Sight.

Just $5 can be enough to help provide an eye exam and a pair of glasses to someone in need. Every contribution is meaningful.

The relationship between lit-eracy and poverty is intimate. Literacy in� uences income and poverty in� uences literacy. Chil-dren who live in poverty have a harder time at school. Peo-ple with lower literacy levels earn less, work fewer weeks in a year, and are more likely to be unemployed for longer periods. So it makes sense that working to improve literacy skills from a young age can prevent poverty down the road, and improving adult literacy can help reduce poverty. Further, increased liter-acy skills are strongly linked to economic growth and prosper-ity. Apparently a one per cent increase in literacy skills nation-wide would lead to an increase of $18.5 billion per year in Can-ada’s GDP.

In Revelstoke, for the past decade, members of the Rev-elstoke Literacy Action Com-mittee (RLAC) have worked to build resources and promote lit-eracy for all ages in our commu-nity. School District 19 has been an important community part-ner and leader in literacy efforts, including providing of� ce and space for community literacy programming and workshops in the new Neighbourhood Learn-ing Centre at Begbie View Ele-mentary. As well, the district continues to focus on literacy

and early intervention strategies to ensure students are reading at expected levels, and are being supported when they are not yet meeting those benchmarks. For reading, the district target is for a minimum of 90 per cent of stu-dents to be reading � uently by the end of grade 3 and grade 7. Last year, 96 per cent of grade 3 students and 95 per cent of grade 7 students reached this goal. The district attributes very high grad-uation rates (last year at 90 per cent, among the highest in the province) to this kind of literacy success.

For adults in a small commu-nity like Revelstoke, improving literacy skills can be challeng-ing. Ever-changing technology, language barriers for new res-idents, � tting courses in with work schedules, and even the perceived stigma that might go along with the need to upgrade can be barriers. The local branch of Okanagan College has been an invaluable resource, offer-ing everything from individual tutoring to computer classes. Proposed changes to OC’s Adult Academic and Career Prepa-ration program are a real con-cern for literacy advocates in the community. This program is for adults who need to upgrade their general academic skills, meet entrance prerequisites for post-secondary programs, or com-plete high school graduation – all critical to decreasing a per-son’s risk of poverty.

An important community goal in the Poverty Reduction Strat-egy is to strengthen and expand lifelong learning opportunities for all residents by working with the members of RLAC to address barriers to literacy. In particular, the strategy recommends mov-ing forward with � nancial liter-acy — something that has been

� agged in literacy planning for a while. Financial literacy is about having the knowledge, skills and con� dence to make good decisions about money matters, something that is important to us all. Making � nancial mistakes can put us more at risk of living in poverty. Being � nancially ‘lit-erate’ can help us move towards better � nancial security.

Earlier this year, the Social Development Committee part-nered with the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) and submitted a proposal to CBT Social Grants program to plan, develop and deliver a two-year � nancial literacy project in Revelstoke. The application was successful and the project is off and running. Over two years, the intent is to strengthen our ability to work together on many differ-ent aspects of � nancial literacy as well as help build both indi-vidual and community resilience to poverty. Local resources, pro-grams and workshops to pro-mote � nancial wellbeing will be created and delivered. It is hoped the project will empower people to help them with a vari-ety of � nancial matters.

Tracy Spannier, the commu-nity outreach coordinator for CBAL is excited about the proj-ect, “It is great to see this proj-ect moving forward. Literacy is all about having the skills to do the things you want to do. Finan-cial literacy is about empow-ering people with knowledge and skills that can impact their lives”.

Stay tuned and check the community calendars for upcoming � nancial literacy workshops. For more informa-tion, contact the CBAL � nancial literacy project coordinator Lisa Nguyen at [email protected] or call 250-805-2305.

Chamber announces three all-candidate forums

The Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce will be providing three opportunities for residents to ask questions of candidates for municipal of� ce.

The chamber is holding a one-on-one forum with coun-cil candidates in addition to the usual all-candidates forums for council candidates and school trustees.

The all-candidates council

forum takes place at the commu-nity centre on Wednesday, Oct. 22, at 7 p.m. The forum will fea-ture candidates for mayor, coun-cil and Area B director.

The one-on-one forum takes place at the community centre on Saturday, Oct. 25. This forum will give voters a chance to sit down with each candidate for a bit of one-on-one time.

The all-candidates school board forum takes place at the seniors centre on Tuesday, Oct.

28, at 7 p.m. The forum will fea-ture all candidates for the Revel-stoke board of education.

The chamber said they are focused on getting more people out to vote; in the 2011 munic-ipal election, only 36 per cent of eligible voters cast a vote in Revelstoke.

The election takes place on Saturday, Nov. 15. Advance vot-ing takes place on Nov. 5 and Nov. 12.

CORRECTIONS: In the Best of Revelstoke supplement of the Sept. 24 Times Review, three mistakes were made. In the events calendar, the Ladies Night skating club fundraiser was listed as on October 24. It is on Saturday, November 14. In the Best Server/Bartender category, we misspelled Erik Stone’s last name. In the Best Yoga Instructor category, we misspelled Margot Wyllie’s last name. We regret the errors.

Two more current councillors are making a run for re-election.

Chris Johnston, who has served four terms on council, and Steve Bender, who has served two terms, both told the Times Review Monday morning they are seeking re-election.

They join Linda Nixon and Gary Starling as those seeking re-election. Phil Welock has moved to the Okan-agan and is not running again, while Tony Scarcella has yet to declare his intentions.

"I find the job really interesting," Bender said. “It's at the level if you want to help accomplish something local, you can. It's short range per-sonal contact you can't get at other government levels."

Johnston said he is running again because he feels he can contribute "a level of experience and sense" to council.

"I think I've been able to provide some second though on some deci-sions that might have been a bit rash," he said. "I think I've been able to work cooperatively with staff and with council on a positive note."

Bender is a former radio host who moved to Revelstoke 24 years ago. He first won election to council in 2008 and was re-elected in 2011. Recently he has experience kidney problems, forcing him to undergo daily dialysis. Still, his condition is not holding him back.

He touted as accomplishments the new sidewalk on Nichol Road and the recent building up of the city's finan-cial reserves.

He also defended the city's borrow-ing. "The reason we've been borrow-ing is we don't have the surpluses we should have," he said. "We've been working on that. And every time you work on that, a project comes along like the collapsing of the culvert on Red Devil Hill that sets you back."

Johnston is a long-time Revelstoke lawyer who has been on council for 12 years. He is the second longest serv-ing councillor after Tony Scarcella.

When asked about accomplish-ments, he brought up spending restraints, last year's re-organization of city hall, and improved communi-cation by the city.

"People may disagree but I think there's been some degree of restraint on spending," he said. "I think there's been an improved relationship with the resort. I think there's been an appropriate amount of infrastructure repair and replacement."

Bender's goal, if re-elected, is to continue to build up reserves and to deal with the highway intersection and the one at Victoria/Fourth/Townley.

"I'm not going to tell you we're going to reduce taxes. By telling you that, that means we're going to be tak-ing away services that other people want," he said. "Being fiscally respon-sible with them, that's a whole other topic and of course that's very impor-tant."

Johnston said city spending is too high and he wants to continue to work on the budget, but that the city isn't being irresponsible fiscally. He also wants to boost tourism in the shoulder season and find a solution for the golf course. "I don't think it can continue the way it is."

One of the last acts by delegates at the Union of BC Municipalities con-vention in Whistler last week was aimed squarely at the Jumbo Resort Municipality.

In a unanimous vote, municipalities passed a motion opposing provincial funding of towns without a population.

The Jumbo Glacier Mountain resort municipality was created on February 19, 2013 and a mayor and two council-lors appointed.

Invermere mayor Gerry Taft put for-ward the motion in Whistler.

"Local governments across BC struggle to provide services to our res-idents and the provincial government constantly says there is no money," Taft said. "Not only is the concept of a town with no residents and an appointed council ridiculous, but the idea that this fake town will get over $1 million in Provincial funding over the next five years is disgusting."

Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, whose riding Jumbo is in, applauded the resolution.

"It sends a strong message to the government just how ridiculous the creation of the Jumbo resort municipal-

ity was," Macdonald said. "It's funded like a normal municipality. When Kim-berley gets the gas tax, so does Jumbo. Kimberley can apply for grants. So can Jumbo. Jumbo is an artificial creation.

BC Liberal Doug Clovechok, who will be the Columbia River-Revelstoke candidate for that party in the next pro-vincial election, however, defended the municipality’s creation. "I believe that over the years the government has put these types of municipalities in place for a specific purpose,” he said. “That is to protect BC resources by overseeing projects that are attached to strict regu-lations and conditions. It is through this process that proponents are held to the highest account possible.”

In 2012, the Local Government Act was amended to create the Jumbo municipality, a move that was also opposed by UBCM. In its opposition, UBCM asked the provincial govern-ment to consider a governance struc-ture for Jumbo that included elected representatives responsible for land-use decisions and a permanent popula-tion of 200.

At the same time, UBCM also stated its opposition to an unelected body making land-use decisions for an area with no population.

Thousands of British Colum-bians do not possess the literacy skills needed to succeed, impact-ing everything from healthcare to employment.

In British Columbia, 40 per cent of adults have difficulty reading a newspaper, filling out a work application form, reading a bus schedule, or understanding a lease, and close to 50 per cent of adults do not have the skills nec-essary to calculate a tip, create a budget or understand credit card interest rates.

Even more concerning is the fact that almost four in 10 youths aged 15 have insufficient read-ing skills and 16 per cent of B.C. youths are not graduating from high school. These statistics have serious implications on soci-ety, as literacy rates impact every aspect of our lives: healthcare, education, crime rates, employ-ment and economic status.

This month, Black Press and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) are joining forces to raise funds and aware-ness about the importance of lit-eracy with the 4th Annual Reach a Reader campaign. The cam-paign will culminate with com-munity leaders and volunteers hitting the streets across the

Columbia Basin and Boundary to distribute special editions of local papers and collect donations in support of community-based lit-eracy programs.

The Reach a Reader campaign coincides with Decoda Literacy Solutions’ inaugural Literacy is Life Campaign; a province-wide fundraising and awareness cam-paign designed to create a new, modern understanding of liter-acy and raise funds to ensure that community-based literacy programs across British Colum-bia can support the people who depend on them.

CBAL’s executive direc-tor, Ali Wassing, says “We have been gratified to see the high level of support and enthusiasm for CBAL's annual partnership with Black Press on the Reach a Reader campaign. This fall, in tandem with the launch of Deco-da's Literacy is Life provincial campaign and the hugely success-ful Raise-a-Reader campaign in the Lower Mainland we look for-ward to a banner year for liter-acy.”

You must be in storeby 1:00 pm. Shop aslong as you want!

The Revelstoke Visual Arts Cen-tre's upcoming exhibit will feature the works of Kip Wiley, Jennefer Rogers, Donna Naprstek and The-resa Browning. I had the chance to meet with Rogers and Naprstek to talk about their works.

Rogers left Revelstoke for Van-couver after high school to pur-sue training as an animator. “It was before computer generated imagery (CGI),” Rogers explains. “Every-thing was hand drawn.”

Since then, Rogers has been involved in many shows, including solo exhibitions, throughout B.C., in several American cities includ-ing Baltimore, San Jose and Phila-delphia, and locations as far flung as Nairobi and Tokyo. She moved back to Revelstoke in 2007.

A science fiction and fantasy enthusiast and avid gamer, Rog-ers often displays original painting and prints in the artist rooms within several international conventions.

Rogers often works as a concep-tual artist involved in game design. “I provide ideas in the form of paintings or other mediums,” Rog-ers laughs, “and I collaborate a lot with people in Australia. I'm busiest from 11pm – 4am!”

An artist with no favourite medium, Rogers uses “whatever is closest! Be it paint, sculpture, dig-ital...”

An avid writer, Rogers is also in the process of developing a dysto-pian science fiction series she plans on self publishing upon comple-tion. For now, Rogers’ show, Myr-iad-Myth Conceptions, will bring a touch of fantasy to the visual art centre.

“I have always loved a good story, fable, legend or myth,” she said. “This exhibition delves into the stuff of dream, of inspiration... and explores the commonality of the stories that emerge in all cul-tures, showing that perhaps we do have a shared consciousness. It is a personal journey or ‘visual tour through my imagination’ as I share my interpretations of the collective

mythologies that have inspired me through the years.”

An example can be found in one of her pieces inspired by Marici, a Japanese goddess. While repre-senting the feminine aspect of yin, she was nonetheless the goddess the Samari's looked to. “I found it so profound, especially in the mod-ern war of the sexes, that Marici inspired warriors, who clearly val-ued her,” Rogers said.

Having to “cherry pick” the myths she could represent given so many wonderful myths globally to choose from, viewers can expect to see her interpretation of a variety of cultures mythology, including the Raven and Crow.

Donna Naprstek, also showing a series in the upcoming exhibition, has lived in Revelstoke for the past year and a half, having relocated from Ontario. A painter focused in watercolours, Naprstek began painting in high school and contin-ued to develop her skills over the next 20 years.

For the past seven years, Naprstek has been working as a painting instructor. In the past year she has offered watercolour classes through the RVAC.

After having her art displayed in gift shops and galleries in Ontario, Naprstek has been involved in sev-eral group shows in Revelstoke. She is thrilled to have a solo show

of her art in the upcoming exhibit. Her show, titled Light and Shadow, features the exquisite scenery of the west.

“I am amazed at how light and shadows play in the mountains and change their appearance through the day, depending on the weather and the time of year. I hope that people can see this in my paint-ings,” Naprstek elaborates.

The Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre exhibit with Rogers’ and Naprstek's shows, as well as Sense of Time by Kip Wiley and It's Only Natural by Theresa Browning, is scheduled to open October 3rd and run to the 31st.

TIMESReview n WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2014 n 13www.revelstoketimesreview.com HISTORY

This is the fourth article in an ongoing collaboration between the Revelstoke Museum & Archives and the Times Review to mark the centennial of the First World War.

When war was declared in August of 1914, recruiting in Revelstoke commenced imme-diately, with 69 men enlist-ing within the first week. One of those men was John Boyle, who gave his age as 18 years and seven months, stating that he was born January 11, 1896, in Manchester, England. The minimum age for enlistment was 18. According to the 1911 census, he was born in 1897, which would have made him too young for active service. After his death in April of 1915, the Revelstoke Review claimed that he had just turned 17 in Jan-uary of that year, which if true, would mean that his birth year was 1898. It was not uncommon for young men to lie about their ages in order to serve, and it is also not uncommon to see these discrepancies in dates through-out records.

John Boyle had come to Rev-elstoke with his mother Annie and older brother Allan in 1910 to join their father, also named John, who had come here in 1908. John Sr. built a house and bakery at the corner of Victoria Road and Boyle Avenue, where the 7-11 is now located. In the

1911 census, son Allan, at the age of 16, was listed as a bak-er’s apprentice, while 14-year-old son John was working as an apprentice at the Union Cigar Factory. By 1914, young John was apprenticing as an electri-cian with Bert Duck. He was a member of the YMCA Orches-tra, where he played the violin.

We will never know what caused John Boyle to sign up at such a young age. It could have been a quest for adven-ture, or patriotic feelings toward his country of birth, or perhaps a combination of these and other reasons. In any case, he was selected to be part of the First Contingent of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and was one of the men cheered on from the Revelstoke CPR Station at the end of August.

John Boyle signed his enlist-ment papers on Sept. 18, 1914, at Valcartier, Quebec, the assem-bly point for the First Contin-gent. On his forms, his height is listed as 5’6.5”, and his chest width as 35”. He had a fair com-plexion, brown hair and brown eyes, and a burn scar on his right arm under the elbow.

He was signed off as being fit for active service, and sailed for England with the rest of the contingent, arriving there in October. He spent a cold, muddy winter in training at Salisbury Plains, and in the spring travelled across the chan-nel to the battlegrounds.

In April of 1915, John Boyle

was a private with the 7th Bat-talion, Canadian Infantry (Brit-ish Columbia) Regiment. He was present during the Sec-ond Battle of Ypres, where, on the April 22, the first three bat-tle fatalities from Revelstoke occurred with the deaths of Wal-ter Robinson, James Forbes and Leonard Carver. Two days later, on April 24, John Boyle died after being hit by shrapnel.

His family back in Revel-stoke first heard of his death almost a month later, when Mrs. Boyle received a letter from Private Lawson, who had been working in Revelstoke as a CPR lineman before enlisting. Lawson informed Mrs. Boyle that he had been with John when he was hit at 10 a.m. on April 24.

Lawson said that John had lived for about an hour before succumbing to his injuries. He was buried where he fell, and Lawson stated that he would erect a cross over his grave at the earliest opportunity. This may not have happened, because John Boyle is memo-rialized on the Menin Gate (Ypres) Memorial, meaning that his body was never recov-ered or identified.

We can only image the shock that the family would have experienced after receiving this news. John Boyle’s death had not been announced by the war office at Ottawa at that time, so the family desperately tried to find more information and con-

firmation of this sad news. In a letter published in the Mail-Herald of July 3, 1915, Joe Howson, a Revelstoke man who was serving overseas explained how this could have happened: “…In reference to Johnnie Boyle’s death, I can easily see how Lawson’s letter got there first, for the casualty list has to go to Ottawa first, then back to England to be rechecked before news is sent out of any-one killed, so that takes some time, especially when we had so many at Ypres.” The offi-cial casualty list announcing the death of John Boyle did not reach Revelstoke until July 27, 1915.

John Boyle’s older brother Allan enlisted in the fall of 1915, and returned safely in September of 1919, bringing with him his English war bride, Susan Ann Dorothy Seaman Boyle. Allan continued work-ing as a baker, eventually open-ing Boyle’s Bakery on First Street West, the current loca-tion of Twisted Annie’s Café. Allan was active in the commu-nity, serving as an alderman for 17 years before moving to Vic-toria. Allan and Susan’s son, Douglas Seaman Boyle, began a distinguished naval career during World War II, eventually rising to the rank of Vice-Admi-ral, culminating in an appoint-ment as Commander Marine Command in 1973.

With research from Ken English.

Grizzlies 1-1-1 last week

The Revelstoke Grizzlies sit on top of the Doug Birks Division after split-ting their three games last week.

The Grizzlies tied the Chase Heat 2-2 last Wednesday, beat the Kam-loops Storm 3-1 on Friday and lost to the 100 Mile House Wranglers 4-2 on Saturday.

On Wednesday, Derek Miski-man scored early in the first and Tyler Chavez Leech scored early in the third, but the Grizzlies saw a 2-1 lead erased with 24 seconds left in the game en route to a draw with the Heat.

Revelstoke outshot Chase 40-27 in the game.

On Friday, the Grizzlies were in Kamloops to face the Storm. Kyle Baron gave Revelstoke a 1-0 lead with a goal early in the first. Chavez Leech

put Revelstoke up 3-0 with a pair of goals three minutes apart late in the third period. Michael Lenko made 34 saves in the Revelstoke net, but had his shutout bid ended with 65 seconds left in the game.

On Saturday, the Grizzlies headed north on Highway 97 to face the Wran-glers. The home team scored twice in the first period to get an early 2-0 lead. They added to their lead in the second period before Zach Paxman got Rev-elstoke on the board. Miskiman score midway through the third period to make the 3-2, but 100 Mile responded 14 seconds later to restore their two goal lead en route to the 4-2 win.

The Grizzlies continue on the road this weekend with games against the Osoyoos Coyotes on Saturday and Kamloops Storm on Sunday. They don’t play at home until Saturday, Oct. 18.

What is it like to try? This is the question that I set out to explore last season as a professional skier and advocate of female skiing. Having been a professional skier for the last eight years, I’ve been

very fortunate to explore, film and work with some of the leading pro-fessionals in the industry. How-ever, I had yet to push my ath-letic boundaries to showcase what I could ski on film. When friend, professional skier and now film-maker Lynsey Dyer decided she would be the change in the ski industry and spearhead an all female ski movie, I knew I had to use my resources and commit to this project.

The support fueling Pretty Faces has been astonishing. For exam-ple, the crowd-sourced Kickstarter campaign raised over $113,000. But beyond the monetary sup-port, the unity that has been cre-

ated throughout the female ski community has been outstanding. This feminine-centric media space has provided us with an outlet to express our own version of cour-age, grace, confidence, and vulner-ability.

Personally, while filming for this film, I exercised my potential and came to a humble understand-ing of how much work (physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritu-ally) it takes to film a segment for a ski movie. I remember one dis-tinct moment when I was stand-ing on top of a cliff and realized the amount of energy I had put into just “trying” to get one shot. It included organizing a cinematog-

rapher, sledding 20 kilometres and ski touring for two hours, all just to stand on top to talk myself into dropping. Needless to say, I didn’t land the cliff. But I learned what it was like to commit; to try, and to know that I supported myself in my jump.

Uniquely this project has also encouraged female athletes to spearhead their own filming proj-ects and trips. One of the high-lights of my season last year was when fellow professional skier, Izzy Lynch, and I ventured to Mike Wiegele Heli Skiing in Blue River, B.C., to challenge what we could do on skis. From multiple pillow drops and steep lines this was our

time to go for it, ski fast and cal-culated.

This movie is all about support; it’s about the support that you need when standing on top of a cliff; it’s about the support that you need to commit that next drop; it’s about the support you need to pursue your potential.

I predict (and hope) that in the next few years we will see a younger generation of female ski-ers going ever bigger and pushing the limits with new pretty faces to take the reigns.

Pretty Faces makes its Canadian premiere at the Roxy Theatre on Friday, Oct. 3, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available at Skookum.

Pretty Faces is the first ski movie to feature an all-female cast. We asked Revelstoke local shredder Leah Evans, founder of Girls Do Ski, to write about why this movie is important and what it meant for her to take part in filming. She says it’s all about support.

WHISTLER – Premier Christy Clark wants rising municipal pay rates to be front and centre in November elections around B.C., and that's why her government set off a storm at the annual local gov-

ernment convention by releasing an unflattering comparison study with provincial pay.

In her speech to close the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities con-vention Friday, Clark told 2,000 local government delegates she is "not here to point a finger" at local governments, but she wants them to

do the hard work of negotiations as the province did in the recent dis-pute with B.C. teachers.

A study by Ernst & Young was released days before the convention by the Canadian Taxpayers' Fed-eration. It calculated that union-ized municipal staff received pay increases of 38 per cent between

2001 and 2012, twice as much as unionized provincial staff, and ahead of inflation of 23 per cent during the same period.

"I think it's a legitimate issue to be discussed because it's taxpay-ers who pay for these compensation costs," Clark told reporters after her speech. "Further than that we'll

wait until we have new municipal councils to speak with, and then we can talk about the next steps."

NDP local government critic Selina Robinson said the report, prepared and leaked without notice to the UBCM, "hit a group of peo-ple over the head with a two-by-four."

Robinson also objected to Clark urging B.C. residents to choose peaceful accommoda-tion, saying the long and bitter strike that shut schools for five weeks is a poor example.

Revelstoke Mayor David Raven said he had yet to read the report, but he said many mayors had concerns about it. "I know that the mayor's are concerned with the data that was put in and it may not reflect some of the nuances some of them have," he said fol-lowing the UBCM con-vention. "I'm a little uneasy to comment until I've read it to see how it applies to Revelstoke."

In her speech, Clark emphasized the impor-tance of resource devel-opment, an apparent ref-erence to the battle led by Burnaby against the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline.

Clark announced the appointment of Cari-boo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett to lead a rural advisory commit-tee to give rural commu-nities a "fair share" of resource development. She used the example of Princeton, a commu-nity of 3,000 that gen-erates $750 million in economic activity from forestry and the Copper Mountain Mine.

Clark admitted the B.C. government has "fallen behind" on a long-standing govern-ment promise to extend broadband Internet to small communities, and vowed to renew efforts for communities such as Granisle, where fibre optic lines stopped just short of the community.
