REVIEW

The Revelstoke Crossing shopping centre proposal moved one step closer to approval after a contentious one-hour debate by council last Tuesday afternoon.

Mayor Mark McKee joined councillors Gary Sulz, Trevor English and Linda Nix-on in giving his support for third reading. Aaron Orlando and Connie Brothers voted against it, while Scott Duke recused himself from the discussion due to his business re-lation with the property owner Steve Platt.

Council was voting on a zoning amend-ment that will add grocery store and phar-macy use to the Revelstoke Crossing prop-erty at the intersection of the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 23 North.

The company Hall Pacific plan on devel-oping a shopping centre on the property.

The discussion took about an hour, with each councillor saying his or her piece be-fore the vote was called.

Sulz supported the development, say-ing that after much thought, he felt coun-cil needed to encourage growth. “My vi-sion for Revelstoke champions growth in all sectors,” he said. “I do believe that this is the right thing to do. I feel this project will complement our community and open doors for other growth without infringing on the benefits that others enjoy.”

Orlando wavered in his decision, pre-senting arguments for and against before deciding to vote against the proposal. On the positive side, he noted the development would bring in tax revenues and contribute development cost charges to improve the highway intersection. He said the shop-ping centre could help prevent out-of-town shopping, but it would also lead to duplica-tion of services by adding another pharma-cy and grocery store to town.

BRIEFS

Industrial fire safety rules tightened

The B.C. government has introduced changes to WorkSafeBC legislation in the wake of fatal dust explosions at two northern B.C. sawmills in 2012.

MLAs are debating a bill that requires employ-ers to report all workplace fires or explosions that had the potential to cause serious injury to a worker, require employer investigation reports to be posted or reported to employees, and allows WorkSafeBC to help workplace health and safety committees to resolve disagreements over health and safety issues.

Two mill workers died and 20 others were in-jured when an explosion and fire tore through the Babine Forest Products sawmill on Jan. 20, 2012. On April 23, 2012 a similar explosion killed two workers and injured 22 more employees at Lake-land Mills in Prince George.

No criminal charges were laid in either event, and the B.C, government earlier changed Work-Safe investigation procedures to protect evidence in cases that could lead to prosecution.

BLACK PRESS

The value of B.C. exports increased 0.9 per cent in August, mainly due to increased sales to the United States and a strong year for salmon and fruit sales.

Compared to totals up to August 2014, agricul-ture and food products export value jumped 22.7 per cent in the first eight months of this year, ac-cording to the latest Statistics Canada figures. Whole salmon exports were up 48 per cent and fruit and nut sales up 44.5 per cent for the period.

The value of energy products dropped 22.2 per cent up to August, driven by a slump in natural gas prices and a drop in value of coal exports. That was partly overcome by a 73 per cent surge in electric-ity exports for the period, although at lower prices for an increase in value of 32 per cent.

The value of solid wood exports was up 4.3 per cent year over year, and pulp and paper exports grew by 3.5 per cent.

A reminder to pregnant women: it’s OK to have a flu shot during pregnancy. In fact it will be of benefit to you and your baby. The baby will be larger, therefore healthier and will also have protective antibodies against flu for six months after birth. Two good reasons to immunize against flu while pregnant.

Remembering to take medication can be a problem for some people. Here’s a good idea: associate taking your medication with something you do at the

same time every day. It could be brushing your teeth or shaving. Link the activity with the taking of your medications and it will soon become part of your daily routine.

Parkinson’s Disease is not curable but in June of this year, in the U.S., an implantable deep brain stimulation device was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is designed to help reduce the symptoms and the tremors associated with the disease. Wires from a pulse generator

leads to certain areas in the brain so the patient can control tremors as needed.

Older readers may remember their parents giving them blackstrap molasses when they were kids. It was supposed to be good for us. It actually contains 3.6mg of iron per tablespoonful and like Popeye, more iron made us stronger and healthier.

Invasive grey squirrel captured in Revelstoke

Invasive species experts are sounding the alarm after a grey squirrel was caught in Revelstoke.

John Meade spotted and trapped the squirrel at his home on Track Street, and then then brought it into the Review office. We contacted the Columbia Shuswap Inva-sive Species Society (CSISS), who brought the animal to the attention of the provin-cial experts.

"They're a little omnivore, so they eat just about anything," said Karl Larsen, a pro-fessor of wildlife ecology & management at Thompson Rivers University. "They can have an impact on plant communities for sure, but they can also impact bird commu-nities because they eat nestlings and eggs."

The eastern grey squirrel, as it is known, is either grey or black in colour, and about eight inches long from the tip of the nose to the start of the tail. They are about twice the size of the native red squirrel.

According to the Invasive Species Coun-cil of BC website it is regarded as one of the top 100 invasive species in the world. They can displace red squirrels by out-competing them for food, and can have an impact on birds and small mammals like mice and

voles. They can also affect property, by get-ting into homes, digging up gardens, and damaging fruit and nut trees.

The grey squirrel is native to central and eastern North America and came to B.C. in the early 20th century when they were introduced to Vancouver's Stanley Park. They eventually spread to Vancouver Island and, most recently, the Okanagan and Ka-mloops.

Larsen said they are likely spread by peo-ple either moving them intentionally, or by them hitching a ride on a vehicle.

"The last time we had a grey squirrel on our university campus here it coincided with a large athletic meet, where there were trailers and buses around," he said.

He said the squirrels aren't viewed as a threat because they're cute and fuzzy, but they are an issue.

"You have to get on them early," he said. "If you have two or three, they can found a successful population."

Robyn Hooper, a program manager with CSISS, said they are interested in hearing about any more sightings in Revelstoke.

"At this time we have to figure out what the problem is," she said.

Sightings can be reported by calling 1-855-785-9333 or by e-mailing [email protected].

Council voted in support of a boundary extension for a property targeted for devel-opment of a boutique treehouse hotel, de-spite the strong opposition of Revelstoke Mountain Resort.

David and Shelley Evans applied to have an 18-acre property they own annexed to the city in order to receive city water and sewer services for their proposed develop-ment.

The property is located along the bend of Camozzi Road, just south of the resort. The annexation request was supported by the last council and did not get any public opposition.

Last week, council voted once again in

support of the request, despite receiving several letters from Northland Properties, RMR's parent company, calling the hotel a "parasitic development."

One letter from Rob Toor, a lawyer for Northland, said that if the city grants the boundary extension, they would seek com-pensation for the money spent on infra-structure leading to the resort.

He added the request goes against the re-sort's Master Development Agreement and that allowing developments outside the re-sort boundaries that use its infrastructure "will dampen infrastructure growth at the resort and directly and negatively affect the interests of the resort.

"In addition, the resort would see a dra-matic decrease in investors purchasing at the resort, as investors could purchase

from competition with no pre infrastruc-ture costs," he wrote. "This would cause an unfair advantage for such parasitic devel-opments. This was not contemplated when the MDA and the resort was planned."

The province's Mountain Resort Branch wrote a letter to the city siding with RMR.

"The ability of a third-party developer to construct commercial accommodation immediately adjacent to the resort, with-out having been made to develop costly infrastructure, most certainly provides an unfair competitive advantage," wrote Ben Sampson, a land officer with the Ministry of Forests, Lands & Natural Resource Op-erations.

He added that the Evanses should ex-plore development within the resort lands instead.

Mayor Mark McKee said he wasn't con-cerned council's decision would affect rela-tions with the resort. The new council has made improving relationships with RMR a top priority.

"I know they're an important part of the community but this council has decided it's going to move forward on economic devel-opment opportunities and I think that the resort recognizes that," he said.

He added the resort has benefitted by be-ing able to hook into the city sewage lagoon instead of having to build their own sewage treatment plant.

"There were advantages to them and there were advantages to the city."

The request needs to be approved by the provincial government before it is final-ized.

After two votes and a lot of discussion, it's sta-tus quo for garbage collection in Revelstoke — for now.

Council spent 45 minutes last week discussing whether or not to accept a union proposal to keep garbage pick-up in-house, but in the end, a divided council left the matter for another time.

The results of a request for proposals was pre-sented to council on Tuesday, Oct. 13. A proposal from the city union – the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 363 – to keep collection in-house and provide weekly pick-up over four eight-hour days came in the cheapest at a cost of $341,218.

Bresco, which runs the curbside recycling pro-gram, sent in four proposals, ranging in price from $389,254 for a manual collection system to $759,658 for an automated system using bear-proof garbage bins.

Emcon Services sent in a proposal for automat-ed collection at a cost of $491,120.

"The cost savings anticipated by contracting out garbage collection services were not realized through the Request for Proposals process," said a staff report by Mike Thomas, the city's director of engineering. "Continuing to provide an in-house service with collection occurring over four eight-hour days is the lowest cost option available."

Few details were provided about each proposal, with Thomas telling council that confidentiality agreements prevented the city from making the proposals public.

Councillor Gary Sulz, the chair of the public works committee, led the debate. First, he put forward a motion asking the matter be referred to his committee before going to a vote at council. He was supported by couns. Connie Brothers and Scott Duke, who both said they wanted more in-formation before voting.

"The report we got does not have enough infor-mation to make a decision on this,” said Duke.

Coun. Linda Nixon said the discussion on this major budget item should happen at the council table. She was seconded by coun. Trevor English. "I don’t feel the need to go back to committee if Mr. Thomas is prepared to answer questions right now," he said.

As well, Thomas cautioned that delaying the vote could cause problems for the city, which des-perately needs a new truck, and the businesses that had to submit substantial deposits along with

their bids.Sulz's motion was met with a tie vote, meaning

it was defeated. Council went on to discuss the original motion, which was to keep garbage collec-tion in-house.

Sulz asked a number of questions centred on how the union proposal was developed. Thomas said the union prepared the proposal, but staff analyzed it to ensure it was a fair comparison to the private sector proposals.

“We have everything we can think of to compare apples to apples with these proposals," he said.

Sulz's main concern was the ability of city staff to do the same job in four days that it currently does in five days.

"I have a hard time understanding how they can do pickup in their time allotted for their work day without us having to pay overtime," he said. “I’m concerned we’re going to have to say we have to put more money into garbage because it’s costing us $30,000 more per year because of labour.”

Thomas said his recommendation was based on an analysis of the various proposals. "I can only go on what is being said," he said. "I’ve got the assur-ance of CUPE they’re going to work towards those times. They have the understanding overtime is not optional on an ordinary day.”

When it finally came to a vote, couns. Aaron Orlando, Trevor English and Linda Nixon voted to keep the service in-house, while couns. Brothers, Duke and Sulz voted against the motion. With an-other tie, the motion was defeated.

Mayor Mark McKee recused himself from the debate due to his friendship with Brett Renaud, the owner of Bresco.

City staff will now prepare a new report for council that will hopefully address their questions, said Allan Chabot, the city's Chief Administrative Officer, the day after the meeting.

Staff hope to present the new report to council at their next meeting, on Tuesday, Oct. 27.

The union expressed surprise and disappoint-ment over council's decision.

“We took this review process very seriously and we're open to discussing ways to improve service and adapt to the changing needs of Revelstoke residents,” said union president Chris Selvig in a news release. "In-house curbside garbage collec-tion is clearly the responsible choice – the most economical, responsive and most accountable to taxpayers."

Renaud said he couldn't comment until the is-sue is settled.

The owners of the Revelstoke Adventure Park submitted a new proposal to the provincial gov-ernment this week.

The new management plan and tenure applica-tion for the adventure park were submitted to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations by Illecillewaet Development Limited Partnership.

The plan calls for a summer tourist attraction that would include lift-accessed mountain biking, zip lines, bungie jumping and more.

The new plan is 56 pages long, plus numerous appendices that total more than 400 pages. It in-cludes traffic studies, wildlife studies, a wildfire management plan, riparian area studies and more.

The adventure park will be located on 64 hect-ares of private land and 257 hectares of Crown land in the Greeley area, on the north flank of Mount Mackenzie.

The proponents say the adventure park will draw traffic off the Trans-Canada Highway during the summer and create 250 jobs.

It is being developed by Black Tie Properties, a company run by Jason Roe, and Northland Prop-erties, which owns Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Black Tie will serve as operators of the park.

“I’m excited to get to this step in the develop-ment of the Revelstoke Adventure Park. It will be a one-of-a-kind attraction, creating a greater aware-ness for Revelstoke further enticing visitors to discover our vibrant community throughout the spring, summer and early fall months," said Roe in a news release.

The plan includes a build-out over several years and divides the adventure park into five areas.

Greeley Meadows, which would be mostly locat-

ed on private land, would include a campground with 150 fully-serviced sites and 20 yurts; a man-made lake with a beach, a driving range, parking and the main guest facilities.

Just above that would be the tree-top adven-tures — a high ropes course similar to the one at SkyTrek.

A chairlift would access the bungee centre, which would be located on a bench overlooking the town of Revelstoke. It would include the bungee jump, a rock climbing area, sky swing, mountain lodge, and sightseeing deck.

The zip lines would stretch down from the bun-gee centre to the meadows, with the option to take either one 1,400 metre ride, or a series of zip lines ranging in distance from 20 metres to 450 metres.

The mountain bike zoning would encompass the rest of the tenure, with trails snaking through the forest from the bungee centre to the base.

Development of the park is set to begin next year with construction of the mountain road and trail network.

The park would open in 2017, with the camp-ground, shuttle-accessed mountain biking, a bun-gee jump, zip lines, pump track and ropes course.

The main chairlift would be installed for 2018, allowing lift access to the bungee centre and moun-tain bike tails. Also planned for 2018 is a driving range, OGO ride, mountain coaster, helicopter tours, horseback riding and sightseeing trips.

Other amenities to be built later include hot pools, the man-made lake, a second chairlift, rock climbing, a sky swing and the mountain lodge.

The new management plan was filed more than two years after the province rejected the first ap-plication by Black Tie.

You can read the management plan by looking for this article on the Review website.

Editor,With reference to my letter to City

Council, July 23, 2015, later published in the Review as a letter to the editor, and your reporting of the public hearing in the October 7, 2015 edition of the Re-view, I was dismayed to learn that at the most recent council meeting of October 13, the council approved the highway shopping centre.

You reported on the strong opposition to the application from the audience at the hearing. “Only a few spoke in favour”

of the proposal. Council received 33 writ-ten submissions regarding the proposal, of which 24 were against, eight for and one neutral. The Chamber of Commerce presented results of a member survey that showed 24 out of 36 respondents opposed the development.

I am truly distressed that only two weeks later, without requesting further public input, council has seen fit to sup-port this proposal. I believe much more thought and research into what this kind of development would mean for Revel-

stoke should have been undertaken. The proposal in front of council has

the potential to dramatically change, ir-revocably, the nature and character of the community we live in. I regret coun-cil did not follow the suggestion of Ms. Connie Brothers and look into the long term implications of this development on Revelstoke, taking more time to con-sider the proposal.

Respectfully submitted,Robin Brooks-HillRevelstoke

Council should have spent more time on shopping centre proposal

LETTERS

It is time for us to choose democratic reform

I believe that all citizens should have a share of political power — not just a highly privileged few.

The only way that this will be our re-ality is to have a democratic system that actually works. While Canadians are for-tunate compared to most in the world, my 10 years as your elected representa-

tive convinces me that there needs to be meaningful improvements to our demo-cratic system in B.C. and in Canada.

I strongly believe in proportional rep-resentation and the system I believe best meets our needs here in B.C. is mixed-member proportional representation. It works in other parliaments similar to ours such as New Zealand and Scotland, and proportional representation is used across Europe.

This democratic reform is just the be-ginning of what we need to do. My col-leagues, led by MLA Gary Holman, have introduced a package of private member's bills that are needed to make the BC Leg-islature work better.

The bills have all been rejected by the BC Liberals to date, but I am convinced they are the direction needed for people of all political views. These bills would ban corporate and union donations and

would open up government by making freedom of information and privacy leg-islation actually work. There are Bills that would require that the legislature sit with a fixed schedule, that would make peti-tions work more effectively, and would make it easier for young voters to regis-ter.

For much of human history, and in many parts of the world, ordinary people have lived their lives oppressed and lack-ing the power to participate in political decision-making. We have the power to make our own decisions. Now is the time for us to choose democratic reform in Canada and in British Columbia.

A proposal for a boutique ski lodge near Revel-stoke Mountain Resort has been rejected by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District.

"The board voted in favour of the motion from the staff not to have second reading," Loni Parker, the director for Area B Rural Revelstoke, told the Review.

The regional district board of directors voted on the recommendation at its meeting last Thursday, Oct. 15.

The move essentially kills the application by the Hansford family to turn their newly-built home on Leidloff Road into a five-bedroom luxury ski lodge.

The lodge was built by the Hansford family last year, but it was only after they finished construc-tion that they asked for the property to be re-zoned for commercial use.

The application was met with resistance from area residents, who, at an open house in August, opposed both a proposed heli-pad and the fact the owners built the lodge first, then sought re-zoning later.

The heli-pad was dropped from the application, but the latter issue played a role in the the board's vote. The Area B Advisory Planning Commission cited that as a concern when they recommended the CSRD reject the application.

"You're zoned for rural family residential and re-ally, should you build it and come and get forgive-ness?" said Parker. "There was a sentiment against allowing for that."

Barry Janyk, a consultant who has been work-ing with the Hansfords on the application, said they weren't surprised by the decision.

"The APC was fairly blunt in their assessment of the failings of the project," he said. "We anticipat-ed what happened on Thursday. It's sad, it's disap-pointing, but it's not unexpected."

He said the family will now explore its next options, though nothing is planned in the short term. "We're going to go back to the neighbours and apologize for the errors that were made at the onset and see if we can mend fences and prove to the rest of the neighbourhood the family is serious about trying to be good neighbours, and indicate that an operation like they're proposing is not in-congruous to the rest of the neighbourhood," he

said.A CSRD staff report says the neighbourhood

should undergo a planning process before it be-gins to allow commercial use. The Area B Official Community Plan calls for the neighbourhood to eventually transition into resort use, however the report from planner Dan Passmore says, "the planning work necessary for establishing transi-tion guidelines has not been done, and therefore a proposal to develop complementary resort related support accommodation infrastructure would ap-pear to be premature."

The issue is complicated by the fact the neigh-bourhood is contemplating joining the City of Revelstoke in order to access its water system. The Thomas Brook system is on a boil water advisory and property owners have until 2018 to upgrade it. They are leaning towards joining the city, how-ever no formal annexation request has been made.

"[Planning] will be a discussion that will have to take place when there's an actual request from the residents on that street if they want to join the city or not," said Parker. "That discussion will hap-pen at the time."

It's no surprise that Revelstoke is full of chari-table people that are willing to volunteer. Some of them do small things like collecting dead batter-ies so the zinc can be used to combat disease. Oth-ers help out to clean a community garden for the winter, or donate to the food bank.

And others go across the world to help out at an orphanage.

Daniel Blackie, a local athlete and well round-ed Revelstoke Secondary School student, has de-cided to take off one semester before graduating and leaving for university to go to a small village in Arusha, Tanzania, to volunteer at the Upendo Face orphanage. The orphanage is a registered non-governmental organization that is aiming to make orphans lives better while giving them prop-er educations.

Daniel wants to make a positive change in the world and gain a better understanding of the global community before he leaves for school. He wants to be a greater, more diverse, and under-

standing person when he goes into university. The community has Daniel's back as RSS is cur-

rently accepting donations to give to the orphan-age, whether it be school supplies or dollar dona-tions. The Stoke Youth Network will be donating half of the proceeds they make at the school's Hal-loween dance to the orphanage.

As well, Daniel has set up an online Go Fund Me account to raise money for the orphanage. It can be found at www.gofundme.com/DanielTanzani-aTrip. The proceeds raised will help make the or-phans lives easier and help the orphanage greatly.

Arden Davis is the Stoke Youth Network's new youth media correspondent. She will be writing regu-lar articles about local youth for the Review.

Take heart, Revelstoke, there’s something much more uplifting than electioneering coming to you soon: Shane Koyczan’s po-etry. By the time this article is published, the ballots will be counted and the die cast for the next four years. Depending on your political stripe, you might feel validated or vanquished. But life goes on, life doesn’t stop for a ballot box.

And all corners of life is what Koyczan paints in full colour with words, includ-ing a portrait of Mr. Stephen Harper. Not known for being politically shy, the poet re-leased The Cut on Oct. 9, an eloquent exit interview where he gives Harper the ax. It’s a stinging indictment of his government’s regime that highlights the mistreatment of veterans, women, the electoral process and more, calling Harper ‘Canada’s worst handyman’, among other things.

“Right now there’s a sense of urgency in the country,” the Penticton-based poet mused. “The divide, I’ve never seen that before.”

People are so passionate that their choice is the right choice, Koyczan said, that they’re calling each other out over just a dif-ference of opinion. But that hasn’t stopped him.

“The thing I love about what I do is that I have a voice. If I’m not using it, then what am I doing?” he told the Review.

Even so, he understands why younger voters might be tempted to stay away from the polls. “I don’t think youth are apathet-ic,” he said, “It’s just another place for them not to be listened to.”

For his part, Koyczan had been sure to cast his vote in the traditionally Conserva-tive city of Penticton before heading out on tour.

“Society is a contract and to get the ben-efits and rewards you need to participate. If you’re not going to vote, it’s tantamount to taking your hands off the wheel and having no one drive.”

If there’s anyone who can take a tough situation and find not only the poetry but the inspiration in it, it’s Koyczan. His rep-ertoire extends way beyond political com-

mentary, and he is well known for his funny and moving pieces on bullying (“To This Day”), online nastiness (“Troll”), and even the meaning of life (“Shoulders”). When you’re needing a bit of inspiration, you can find his beautifully animated and scored videos on YouTube.

Being able to be professional poet is an inspiration itself. For the past 15 years Koyczan has been a full-time poet, and it all started when he quit his day job. After a successful stint in the U.S., he decided to give himself a year to see if he could make it work.

It was in university that he started writ-ing poetry, thanks to an English professor

who encouraged him to write something complete.

“I’d had all these unfinished chapters to a novel,” confessed Koyczan, who found po-etry easier to get done. And in his words, “one complete project leads to another,” so much so that the poet has now also created screenplays as well as books. All it took was a leap of faith into the unknown and the te-nacity to get to the end.

“It’s like stepping off a plank,” he said. Unlike a more traditional, mapped-out path, Koyczan had to find his own way, a challenge that a lot of creatives face. For-tunately he quickly discovered there were people there for him: “I owe a lot of what I

am to my fans.” And they owe a lot to him too. the poet

has received some incredible letters from “people living on a ledge for a while”, he tells me. What he does on stage connects him with people and allows them to be emotional.

“A lot of people lose that, they’re plugged into their iThing,” Koyczan lamented.

You can get poetically connected with Koyczan on Friday, Oct. 23, at 7:30 p.m. at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased in advanced at the Visitor Information Cen-tre, ArtFirst or through the Revelstoke Arts Council website.

Revelstoke Skating Club hosting first competition

The Revelstoke Skating Club is hosting its first com-petition at the Revelstoke Forum this weekend.

Forty skaters, including at least 10 from Revelstoke, are expected to attend the Mountain Gems Invitation-al Simulation Competition this Saturday, Oct. 24, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

"This is the first time Revelstoke has hosted a skat-ing competition," said Jen Walker-Larsen, the vice-president of the Revelstoke Skating Club.

The event will simulate a Skate Canada event, but because Revelstoke was deemed too far from a major airport for official judges to attend, it is not sanctioned.

Instead, it will be a fun event, but skaters will be judged by Skate Canada coaches so they can get feed-back on their routines.

Skaters will perform several solo routines. They will do a pre-determined routine that they practiced in ad-vance and an interpretive skate where they will get to listen to a piece of music, then do a spur-of-the-mo-ment performance.

The skaters will be grouped by age and ability level, and judged based on the elements they complete.

It's the first event of the season in the B.C. Interior, and the skating club hopes it provides a good lead-in to the competition season. Rossland, B.C., hosts a similar event.

The skaters started practicing in late-August, several weeks earlier than usual.

"This is something that's a little different," said Walker-Larsen. "It gives the skaters a chance to go through their programs and get a good run of them."

Admission to the event is by donation and the club is hoping the community comes out in support.

The club will also be hosting its annual Christmas and Spring shows this winter.

Revelstoke Grizzlies go winless on weekend

The Revelstoke Grizzlies poor start to the sea-son continued on the weekend, with only one point to show for in two games.

Revelstoke tied the Kelowna Chiefs 1-1 mon Friday before losing 3-2 to the Columbia Valley Rockies on Saturday.

On Friday, the Grizzlies travelled to Kelowna to take on the Chiefs at the Rutland Arena.

Josh Baird scored for Kelowna late in the first, while Wyatt Gottschalk got Revelstoke's lone goal in the second period as the team's skated to a 1-1 draw.

Aidan Doak was voted Revelstoke's number one star, making 44 saves in the game. The Gri-zlies were outshot 45-24 in the game.

On Saturday, Revelstoke returned home to face the Columbia Valley Rockies in a chippy, penalty-filled game that nearly spiralled out of control before it was all over.

The teams traded goals in the first, with Ryan Hozjan scoring for the Grizzlies and Damon Ra-ven for the Rockies.

Donovan Quintin put the Rockies up 2-1 four minutes into the second, but Aaron Aragon tied it for Revelstoke after pouncing on a rebound on the power play only two minutes later.

The teams traded chances the rest of the way in a game that was marked by the sheer number of penalties, particularly in an rough final period that was most notable for a couple of ugly hits from behind and a near-brawl with just under 10 minutes to go. Two players from each team – Kyle Berry and Aaron Aragon for Revelstoke, and Ty Duncan and Ryan St. Jean from Columbia Valley – were ejected from the game.

The team's combined for 68 penalty minutes, not including misconducts.

In the end, it was Kellen Marchand's goal for Columbia Valley during a rare even strength stretch with 11 minutes left in the third that proved to be the game winner. Marchand was able to swat in a shot from the slot past Doak for the goal. Revelstoke had a late 5-on-3 powerplay but was unable to generate any major scoring chances, leading to the 3-2 loss.

The Grizzlies record sits at 3-6-1-1, good enough for only eight points and fourth place in the Doug Birks Division. The Kamloops Storm lead the division with 25 points, while Chase has 18 and 100 Mile House has 17.

The Grizzlies have a light schedule this week, with one game in Sicamous against the last-place Eagles this Saturday.

Revelstoke will be without Berry and Aragon, who are tied for the team-lead in scoring, due to their game misconducts on Saturday.

The Grizzlies next home game is on Friday, Oct. 30, when they host the Eagles.

Thank Youto those who Employ our Fire� ghters.Your support has not gone unnoticed!

Revelstoke Fire Rescue Serviceswould like to take this opportunity to thank eachof you for your support and encouragement ofour volunteer � re� ghters who are listed below.

The Revelstoke fire department received its new rescue truck last week, almost two years after crashing its old one.

Revelstoke Fire Rescue Services new truck, dubbed Rescue 7, arrived in town last week. Firefighters were trained on the new truck, and it was un-veiled to the public at a ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 15.

"Revelstoke Fire Rescue Society has worked hard to obtain grants and fund-ing to purchase the new rescue truck so that they can provide highway rescue services to those in need on our surroundings highways," said Mayor Mark McKee in a news release.

The $600,000 truck was purchased with grant funding and donations. The bulk of the funding came through BC Gaming Grants, which provided $450,000. The Revelstoke Hospital Auxiliary provided $27,500, Columbia Basin Trust $22,500, Revelstoke Credit Union $20,000, BC Hydro $10,000, and the Revelstoke Fire Rescue Society contributed $31,000 of its own mon-ey. As well, $27,500 was raised by selling what was left of Rescue One.

McKee credited former mayor David Raven with helping secure grant fund-ing for the truck.

Rescue 7 was built by Hub Fire Trucks, with special modifications made to handle Revelstoke highway rescue needs.

It has a compressed air foam fire pump to put out vehicle fires, safety sys-tems designed to protect firefighters, and a 450 horsepower Cummins diesel engine.

The truck will replace Rescue One, which was damaged in a crash on the Trans-Canada Highway in December 2013. The Revelstoke Fire Rescue So-ciety leased a vehicle in the meantime, with the costs covered by Emergency Management BC.

\I know the firefighters are very thankful for the generous grants and fund-ing that made this happen," said Randy Driediger, the president of the Revel-stoke Fire Rescue Society. "The new Rescue 7 allows our members to respond to highway rescue calls in a safe and well-equipped highway rescue truck."

The City of Revelstoke

National Fire Prevention Week is under-way and fire departments across the country are providing an important message about protecting our families from injuries or death caused by house fires.

This year's Fire Prevention Week them is "Hear the Beep Where You Sleep."

It's a catchy phrase about the most im-portant tool we have to safely get out of our homes if they catch on fire.

The life-saving tool is the common smoke alarm – whether it's battery-operated or hard-wired into our homes.

The importance of working smoke alarms has been documented since the BC Smoke Alarm report, entitled Smoke Alarms Work,

But not Forever: Revised, was released in 2012.

Working smoke alarms should be in every bedroom and on every storey of a home be-cause nearly 50 per cent of residential fires happen between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. - when the residents are asleep.

In British Columbia the primary source of residential fires is stove top burners, but other top ignition sources include electrical, fireplaces and chimneys, as well as cigarettes.

On average, one BC resident is injured by fire every 44 hours, and Fire Chiefs' Associa-tion of British Columbia research suggests that fatality rates increase by 74 per cent when a working smoke alarm is not present.

The good news is that since the Smoke Alarm report in 2012, total fatalities have

dropped by nine a year between 2012 and 2014 as a result of present and working smoke alarms.

So, working smoke alarms are obviously important tools for saving lives.

The key here is to make sure all of our smoke alarms are actually working, so we should test them every month.

Making sure our smoke alarms are work-ing is as easy as pushing the little test but-ton on the smoke alarm once a month, and changing the batteries if it fails the test.

The life-expectancy of a smoke alarm is around 10 years, so if we have one that is around that age, we should insert new bat-teries and test them.

If they don't work, we should replace the smoke alarm.

However, there are other safety issues we should be consider during Fire Prevention Week.

Firefighters want to increase public aware-ness of fire safety and this week provides an opportunity to review evacuation plans and practice fire drills with our families.

While we are testing the batteries in smoke alarms, we should also test our carbon mon-oxide detectors, and ensure fire extinguish-ers are serviced and functioning.

These preventive measures will save lives, and increase the safety of our families.

During the week, we should take the time to thank our local volunteer firefighters who train hard all year to battle blazes and save lives in our communities.

Firefighters call for smoke detectors in every roomCONTRIBUTED

Shopping centre off to Ministry of Transporation for approval

Orlando questioned holding out for something better that might never come. He also said he didn’t think there was enough space on the highway to truly dam-age the downtown.

Finally, he voted against the amendment, saying putting core retail services on the highway was poor planning.

“I have to say frankly, I don’t think this is a good planning decision for the commu-nity in the sense you don’t put independent services in an area that is self-contained without access for walking, biking,” he said.

English said he’d spoken to many people

through his job at the Red Apple, and that most people supported the development. “The support from people that I’ve been speaking with on a day to day basis is over-whelming and I will support this,” he said.

Nixon said she believed this development was the next stage in the town’s growth as a resort community. “It’s an opportunity to connect more with the traveling public, to of-fer a gateway to the Revelstoke experience,” she said. “I see an opportunity for links and synergy rather than a parasitic viewpoint.”

Brothers argued most strongly against the development, saying she felt the pro-cess was happening too quickly and council didn’t have enough information.

“I think we should have as much infor-mation as possible to know if what they’re bringing into town is good or not,” she said. “It seems we ask for more detail on people building a shed than we do on this develop-ment.

“I’m concerned about not controlling the process.”

She brought up several studies that indi-cated highway shopping centres were gen-erally bad for a community and said the is-sue should be studied more before casting a vote. “I’m not saying we don’t carry on with this developer,” she said. “I hope the devel-oper sees the opportunity we have in this community and that he’ll be patient and

willing to work with us.”Mayor McKee voted in favour, calling it

a very difficult decision. He remarked that the amount of public comment was the most he’d seen since the debate around the ski resort. He said the vote wasn’t just about the economic benefits of the project, but about the future of Revelstoke.

“It’s about the expansion of our commu-nity, the expansion of our business commu-nity,” he said. “It’s about retail leakage, it’s about increasing tourism, it’s about having confidence of the future of our community and the future growth of our community.

“I see more opportunities than I see threats and I’m looking forward to the com-munity going forward.”

The development now needs to be ap-proved by the BC Ministry of Transporta-tion before coming back to council for final adoption. It will then need to go through the development permit process before construction can begin.

City planner Dean Strachan said the de-velopment permit process would involve things like a traffic study and looking at the design of the development. The drawings and documents would be brought to council for approval.

“From that process there may be recom-mendations that will result in changes,” he said. “How quickly and how successful that process works depends on how well the city and developer work together.”
