ROXY CLOSURE feud over tourism funding goes Revelstoke-viral as theatre shuts doors - 12

The Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program is being urged to re-think the way it manages the Arrow Lakes fishery, with a greater focus on restoring wild spawning streams over operating artificial spawning channels.

The advice came from a meeting in Nakusp last Monday, Mar. 31, where four biologists from the FWCP made presentations about the state of the fishery. They spoke about the nutrient restoration program and presented charts on the number of people fishing and the fish being caught. They spoke about the Hill Creek Spawning Channel and about what the program plans on doing in the future.

What they heard back is that they need to re-think and re-focus their efforts, because what they’re doing doesn’t seem to be working.

The FWCP presentation focused on three things — the nutrient res-toration program, the angler survey, and the Hill Creek spawning chan-nel. Here’s a look at all three, followed by the feedback they received.

NutrieNt restoratioN programMarley Bassett, a fish biologist, spoke about the nutrient restoration

program. It started in 1998 with the aim of adding phosphorous to the Arrow Lakes reservoir to improve the food web from the bottom up, she explained. Phytoplankton eat phosphorous, zooplankton eat phytoplank-ton, kokanee eat zooplankton and the bigger fish eat kokanee. The res-ervoir is monitored to show how the phosphorous is moving up through the food web.

Bassett told the group that phosphorous levels in the reservoir were remaining steady, indicating the nutrients are moving up through the food web.

“In general, since the nutrient restoration project is going on, we’ve had a three-fold increase in biomass for kokanee, but unfortunately the last few years have not been so great,” she said.

The chart she presented showed a huge increase in kokanee in the first five years of the nutrient restoration program, followed by a general decline since then.

“Same as the other guys, we see these cycles. It’s a bit concerting, but one thing that’s happened in 2013 that changed the pace a little bit, is we see an increase in the size,” she said. “Bigger fish is good, it means bet-

Treehouse hotel concept for Revelstoke resort area

These imageis depict a series of treehouse accommodations available at Treehotel, a destination resort near Lulea, Sweden. The spa-like accommodation features ultra-contemporary interior and exterior design based in familiar nature settings. It’s billed as a place to rejuvenate and recuperate in nature. In Revelstoke, city council will consider an annexation proposal for an 18-acre lot located in the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District at the base of Revel-stoke Mountain Resort. The owner plans to develop a treehouse destination accommodation very similar to this one. However, the plans are very preliminary, and will require annexation, city services and zoning changes.

City of Revelstoke to study commercial marijuana options

City of Revelstoke staff are rec-ommending that the city study options for implementing commer-cial marijuana grow facilities in city limits.

In a recommendation set for dis-cussion at Revelstoke City Coun-cil’s April 8 meeting, Manager of Development Services Dean Stra-chan is proposing studying options for Revelstoke.

As of April 1, federal medical marijuana rules changed, and con-

sumers are now required to access marijuana through a licensed com-mercial producer. (The changes have since been held up in the courts.)

The proposed study would explore what other municipali-ties have done in reaction to the changes in the federal medical mar-ijuana system.

“It’s … seeing what the pros and cons of different decisions that have been made already are,” Stra-chan told the Times Review. “Is it effective? Is it producing the result that particular council wanted? We know this issue is out there, we would like to investigate it further and come up with some recommen-dations for council.”

Strachan said the city has not received expressions of interest in setting up a commercial marijuana growing facility here.

Strachan said one area of study will be whether to locate the facil-ities in agricultural or commercial zones.

Federal rules for the commer-cial operations are fairly stringent, including many security require-ments. Strachan said one benefit of locating in an industrial area is bet-ter security infrastructure.

The model is a warehouse-sized facility.

No particular direction is pro-posed now, but Strachan said the city will have to accommodate changes to federal legislation in city zoning rules.

“You have to accommodate for it somehow. It doesn’t say whether you have to accommodate for it in industrial lands, or … agricultural lands,” he said.

If a commercial marijuana grow facility is proposed, where should Revelstoke put it?

VICTORIA – More people are dying from distracted driv-ing than drinking and driving, and that has caused Attorney Gen-eral Suzanne Anton to reconsider whether B.C.’s penalties for using smart phones behind the wheel are tough enough.

Anton said the latest statis-tics from 2012 show 81 deaths from distracted driving in the year, compared to 55 related to impaired driving.

“People seem to know that they must not drink and drive, but distracted driving, people don’t seem to have the same level of awareness,” Anton said Wednes-day.

B.C.’s Motor Vehicle Act cur-rently sets a $167 fine for talking on a hand-held mobile phone, and $167 plus three demerit points for emailing or texting while driving. Ontario recently raised its fine from $155 to $280, with a maxi-mum of $500 for those who con-test the fine and are convicted.

A few weeks ago Anton wasn’t convinced higher penalties would

help change driver behaviour, but she said Wednesday she was dis-turbed to discover that B.C. has more distracted driving deaths than Ontario, which has three times the population.

“Should there be points attached to holding the handheld device and talking? Probably,” Anton said. “Should the fines be higher? Probably, so I’m having a look at both of those.”

Another statistic that caught Anton’s attention was the 51,000

distracted driving tickets handed out in B.C. in 2013. She said that’s a “huge number” that sug-gests the message of distracted driving is not getting through, and a reminder that seatbelt use and impaired driving also took time to impress on the public.

The Superintendent of Motor Vehicles is analyzing B.C. driv-ing habits and will report to Anton, who is considering chang-ing penalties later this year.

On their doctors’ advice, many people take a baby Aspirin daily if they are at risk of heart attack or stroke. If you also take anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen, take your Aspirin at least one hour before the NSAID to avoid an interaction that will lower the Aspirins ability to reduce heart attacks.

Do you get CVS? That stands for Computer Vision Syndrome brought on by extended use of

a computer. Symptoms include headaches, blurred vision, dry eyes and neck and shoulder pain. To avoid CVS, blink frequently, take your eyes off the screen and give them a rest every 20 minutes or so and ensure your text size isn’t too small. And get up, stretch and walk around periodically.

A recent government report comparing health statistics in 34 countries showed that Canada leads

in the number of women dying of lung cancer. It’s 47 per 100,000 women. The reason seems to be that women were slower to adopt a non-smoking status due to the “light” and “slim” cigarette promotions of the 60’s and 70’s. Today, only about 14% of Canadian women smoke. It’s never too late to stop.

Having said the above about women and smoking, women are more likely to reach the age of 100 than men. Currently,

for every 100 females who reached the age of 100, there are only 21 male centenarians. In the developed countries, Japan has one of the highest number of centenarians.

Fishery: Should the reservoir near Revelstoke be treated as a river or a lake?

ter in-lake survival and it means bet-ter reproductive success.”

Angler surveyHow much are people going fish-

ing and what are they catching? That was the topic of Steve Arndt’s por-tion of the presentation.

Arndt, also a fish biologist, pre-sented several graphs on the angler survey that he runs. They showed how many people were fishing, what they caught and the size of the fish. The graphs showed data from Shel-ter Bay, Nakusp and the Castlegar area.

Before the nutrient restoration program started in 1998, Castle-gar was the busiest fishing spot on the lake, followed by Nakusp and Shelter Bay. After the program was started, Nakusp numbers climbed while Castlegar numbers fell to sim-ilar levels as Shelter Bay.

“Overall, if you look at these three sites together the last few years and you follow it across, we’re def-initely below the peaks before and after nutrients, but we’re still above these worst years before the begin-ning of the nutrient program,” Arndt said.

He also showed harvest data for four different fish — burbot, bull trout, rainbow trout and kokanee.

For burbot, catch levels have remained steady. For bull trout and rainbow trout, the harvest increased after the start of the nutrient restora-tion program, but have since fallen back down. There are more rain-bow trout that are more than 50 cen-timetres long being caught, but no rainbow trout weighing more than 15 pounds have been caught since 2005.

“I’m not saying nobody’s caught one, they just haven’t brought them into our station, so it’s not as com-mon,” said Arndt.

As for the kokanee harvest — “This is where we’re doing really poorly on Arrow,” he said, noting the kokanee catches has declined

steadily since the start of the nutrient restoration program

Reflecting what many local anglers would tell you, Arndt said not a single kokanee catch was recorded at Shelter Bay and Nakusp last year. However, he added that kokanee are generally fatter.

“The biomass has been three times higher on average since we started nutrients,” he said, adding later: “Either you can have a whole lot of very small fish and not much of a fishery, or you can have fewer but bigger fish and have a bigger fishery.

“If you want to have a kokanee fishery, you need to have bigger kokanee.”

Hill Creek spAwn-ing CHAnnel

High kokanee spawning in the Hill Creek Spawning Channel is a detriment to wild kokanee spawning in other streams, said Jeff Burrows, who manages the channel.

He said a meeting was held in Nelson last July where a group of experts reviewed the operation of the Hill Creek. Their goal was to look at the data and come up with a new strategy to improve the kokanee numbers in the Arrow Lakes.

“It was clear to us from the evi-

dence that high Hill Creek fry pro-duction decreases production of all those other streams,” Burrows said.

The new goal is to reduce kokanee spawning in Hill Creek with the hope that the fish will return to other streams.

“When Hill Creek fry suppress the wild fry and too many shrink down the size of the kokanee, there’s not much point of going at maxi-mum capacity at Hill Creek,” said Burrows.

He said Hill Creek will keep operating but at lower numbers in order to optimize the number and size of kokanee for fishing and feed-ing predators like bull trout.

THe feedbACkOnce the FWCP biologists were

done talking, the floor was open to questions, and they heard an earful about their programs.

There was questions about the sturgeon release, the presence of invasive fish species, and the impact of water flow on the fishery. The biggest critique came from a group from Revelstoke, who said the FWCP needs to completely re-think how it manages the Arrow Lakes fishery — particularly above Shel-ter Bay, where the Columbia is still a river for most of the year.

“At this time of year the reservoir is low enough that from Revelstoke to Shelter Bay is actually a river, and the fishery is being managed as a lake fishery,” said Brian Gadbois, a former BC Hydro biologist. “If it was managed as a river fishery, there would be closed seasons, especially at this time of year, especially in the fall.”

Gadbois’ point, that was echoed by several others, is that by allow-ing fishing in the river between Rev-elstoke and Shelter Bay all year, lots of fish are being caught as they’re swimming upstream to spawn.

“Right now there is a slaughter going on up there,” he said. “If you want a bull trout fishery in Arrow Lakes, that fishery needs to be man-aged differently, because it’s wiping out those populations.”

He said a boundary needed to be set where the river would be treated like one, so that it is closed to fish-ing when the water is low, and open when the water is high and the river turns into a lake.

Gadbois also took issue with the graphs that were shown, saying they essentially represented a flat line, with a little spike in the early 2000s. He said that indicated the nutrient restoration program wasn’t working.

“I think that everyone at that front table on day one of this fertilization program would have said that if we fertilize, that graph would look like Mount Everest,” he said. “Every-thing’s going to go straight up and it’s going to be a great success and everything would look wonderful.

“I’m not seeing that,” he contin-ued. “What I’m seeing is exactly what you’re saying. You cranked production in Hill Creek for a few years and it basically wiped out pro-duction in all our tributary streams.

“I’d really like you to re-think these programs.”

Hank Scown, the president of the Nakusp Rod and Gun Club, said more effort should be made to have lots of fat kokanee in reservoir.

“Cutting back the numbers would only make sense to me if there was a food shortage for the kokanee, and

if there’s a food shortage for the kokanee we can do something about that,” he said.

He said that instead of spend-ing money on sturgeon recovery, it should be invested to improve the kokanee fishery.

“We’re allocating $35 million to white sturgeon,” he said. “$35 mil-lion to a fish that can’t prove that it will survive. It can’t spawn. It was doomed the day the dams went in. It’s going extinct. Let Darwin do his work and lets get working on the fish we can fish for and enjoy here.

“There’s the money. It’s going down the rat hole and we’re not focusing enough of it on the fish. The fish that we can use and we’d like to see sustainably regenerated in this system.”

Kim Doebert from Revelstoke said money needed to be invested to clear spawning streams of sedi-ment that has built up while the res-ervoir has been in operation. Debris that used to flow downstream in the river now simply settles and blocks the channels that fish use to access their spawning grounds.

“We have to start moving rocks to make these channels more open and accessible.”

Gadbois said the goal should be to get the wild spawning streams back to their previous numbers rather than rely on Hill Creek.

“Whether it’s problems with trib-utary access, whether its populations that have been decimated — I think that’s where the priority has to be right now,” he said. “Get the popu-lations back where they belong and then let’s start managing these trib-utaries.”

He mentioned Bridge Creek, a kokanee spawning stream in Rev-elstoke where school children are brought every fall to learn about the fish. Last year, the students were brought there, but there were no fish around.

“Something is very wrong with the management of this resource,” Gadbois said.

“Let’s get it back to a natural state.”

Cougar preys on pet dog at edge of city limits

A cougar caught and ate a pet dog in Revelstoke on the evening of Mar. 27.

In an April 3 media release, the Revelstoke RCMP reminded residents that cougars are in the area.

The incident happened at about 8 p.m. near an Alpine Lane residence. Alpine Lane is located next to the Trans-Canada Highway, adjacent to Mount Revel-stoke National Park.

A resident let their pet Schnauzer into the backyard. When the dog started barking, the owner tried to call it back inside. The dog didn’t return, and the owner heard a yelp.

The dog’s remains were found the next day. The RCMP said the B.C. Conservation Officer Ser-

vice was called a day or two after the incident. They attended within a few hours and were able to confirm it was a cougar after identifying cougar paw prints.

In a statement, Revelstoke RCMP reminded resi-dents that cougars are present in the area and encour-aged residents to contact the Conservation Officer Service if they have any wildlife concerns. The BC Conservation Officer Service incident line is 1-877-952-7277. It’s otherwise known as the RAPP line, an acronym for Report All Polluters and Poachers: 1-877-952-RAPP

Conservation Officer Service lobbying continuesRevelstoke Rod & Gun Club president Gary Kres-

tinsky said the club is continuing its efforts to have a conservation officer reinstated in Revelstoke.

In December of 2013, the Revelstoke-based officer retired, and the Ministry of Environment relocated the position to Golden.

Krestinsky said he didn’t have details on the cougar incident, but noted there have also been issues with a

moose and a wolverine in town since the conservation officer was relocated.

The Rod & Gun Club is gathering a petition ask-ing for the conservation officer position to be returned. They are targeting 500 signatures. But so far the Min-istry of Environment has defended the decision to relo-cate the officer to Golden.

One of the reasons the ministry cited was higher wildlife conflict reports in the East Kootenay.

Krestinsky said that criteria creates a Catch-22. If residents know there’s no Conservation Officer in Rev-elstoke, they may not call, leading to even fewer calls.

The club wants residents to call in all wildlife inter-face issues.

“We are recommending that people call the RAPP line,” Krestinsky said.

Ministry ofTransportationand Infrastructure

VICTORIA – Former B.C. chief forester Jim Snetsinger is leading a public discussion this spring about converting volume-based logging licences to area-based tenures, a proposal the B.C. government backed away from before last spring’s election.

Forests Minister Steve Thom-son announced the consultation this week and released a discus-sion paper for comment on a new website, engage.gov.bc.ca/for-esttenures that will collect com-ments until May 30.

About 60 per cent of the log-ging on Crown land in B.C. is through volume-based forest licences, which give companies permission to cut a specified vol-ume in the licence area. Thomson said the proposed change to area-based licences is to encourage companies to make longer-term investment in planting and silvi-culture to increase future produc-tivity on Crown land. Area-based licences give the holder exclusive access, instead of competing with other logging companies, each licensed to take a set volume of wood from the same forest.

Thomson said the proposal is to help deal with the widespread damage left behind by the moun-

tain pine beetle infestation that is causing a decline in timber sup-ply for decades to come.

NDP forests critic Norm Mac-donald said the experience with existing area-based tenures, called tree farm licences, is that they have not improved forest stewardship. About 15 per cent of B.C. lumber production is from tree farm licences, and the minis-try can’t show evidence that they are better managed, he said.

Many of the existing tree farm licences are on the B.C. coast, where log exports have increased.

Macdonald said B.C.’s big forest companies have lobbied Premier Christy Clark for the change, which effectively priva-tizes large tracts of Crown for-

est, and now the forests ministry is being directed to implement the change.

Snetsinger said he worked with volume-based and area-based licences as B.C.’s chief for-ester, where he was responsible for setting annual allowable cut from 2004 to 2012. They have their supporters and detractors, and Snetsinger said he will hear from them all.

The consultation tour will have stops in Nanaimo, Kamloops, Prince George, Quesnel, Burns Lake, Williams Lake, Smithers, Dawson Creek, Cranbrook and Vancouver. Details will be posted on the consultation website when they are finalized.

After almost six years as editor at the Revelstoke Times Review, and almost eight as editor/managing editor at the Arrow Lakes News, (for a total of about 680 issues combined) it’s time to stop the presses.

April 16 will be my last day at the Rev-elstoke Times Review, and will also mark my last issue.

I’d like to thank everyone in Revelstoke and beyond who’s been a part of the news-paper during my tenure. I’d like to thank my colleagues here at the Times Review, especially. I’ll do my best to thank every-one personally.

Life as an editor is two-thirds drudgery (writing, organizing, laying out the paper, reading, researching, editing, web pub-lishing, planning, investigating, chasing down interviews, meetings galore, hunt-ing for stories, and more teeth-gnashing of� ce-type stuff), and one-third really fun stuff: actually getting out there and being a meaningful participant in community life.

As you may have observed, I’ve been the only person in the editorial depart-ment for a couple of months. Due to busi-ness conditions, the plan for the time being is to operate the Times Review as a one-person newsroom. The plus-side is that doubles the fun stuff to two-thirds of my schedule. The downside is that means

four-thirds drudgery, too. As a direct result, I’m leaving the

Times Review on good terms.Since I’m not leaving Revelstoke,

it’s not time for a retrospective. For my going-away column, I’ve decided to boil it down to one thing, one observation.

On an average day, you could be at a cultural event, a city meet-ing, talking with the authorities about a tragic incident, meeting with a margin-alized community member, then going to a sports match. The next day, after the snow-globe of life shakes itself again, there are four or � ve more happenings to explore.

This social mobility through the sub-communities of Revelstoke this work pro-vides is unique.

What I’ve observed is a community that is, for the most part, doing � ne. Our health outcomes are good. Our youth edu-cation results are good. Per capita incomes are good. For a smaller, rural community, employment options are fairly good. Our hockey team used to be great, and will be good once more. In fact, in the many data-bases measuring quality of life here I’ve looked through over the years, Revelstoke usually does really well.

These outcomes are the result of a lot of hard work, often from individuals and organizations banding together to achieve them. Revelstoke, especially in volun-teerism, has a robust can-do attitude about solving its own problems.

So, close the book, walk away, all’s

well that ends well? Not yet. Historically and currently, Revelstoke’s

successes and problems have been, for the large part, driven by external forces.

A national railway created us. A national highway rede� ned us. One year, the forest industry is doing a smokin’ trade because the U.S. housing market is on � re. The next, it’s barely alive because of a housing crash. One year, you can’t � nd a place to live because we’re build-ing a highway, a tunnel, a dam or a ski resort. The next year, you can’t give away your home because everyone’s pulled up stakes. One year, the bank manager is practically calling you up with a loan, the next, � nancial markets seize up and you can’t get a dime.

Revelstoke’s success as a community has been its ability to adapt to these ongo-ing, externally-driven challenges, often by coming together.

Therein is my point: through the social mobility afforded to me through work as a community journalist, I get the experience of many communities living together, but often apart. There are many overlaps – school, work, cultural organizations, sports – but sometimes it can feel like a coalition of disparate interests united only by geography, instead of by community.

For me, travel through intergenera-tional segments of the society reinforces this feeling the most.

So, what’s the solution? For better, and for worse, citizens’ trust, reliance and engagement with traditional institutions has waned over the past 40 years. The in� uence of levers that once ran the socio-political machine don’t work like they did before. Our social structures truly are changing, often atomizing.

In the coming years, Revelstoke as a community will undoubtedly experi-

Columbia-Shuswap Regional District, adjacent to the City of Revelstoke boundary. The land-owners will need to be annexed into the city in order to provide necessary service (like water and sewer) and zoning. A City of Rev-elstoke report recommends pro-ceeding with the annexation request, which is uncharted terri-tory for this council.

Evans notes the property is already intersected by historic ski-out trails from the resort, and envisions a higher-end destina-tion accommodation that trav-ellers would visit Revelstoke to stay at. “By putting up something

is eco-friendly and low impact, it enables there to be a signature hotel use on that land,” he said.

In a letter to city council, Evans explained they’re bas-ing their design concept on Tree-hotel, a similar resort in Sweden. The tree cabins there are actu-ally clamped to trees, and fea-ture ultra-contemporary designs inside and outside. The units are based on several unique concepts.

Evans feels the benched prop-erty is an ideal location for a Rev-elstoke version.

“The whole idea is to keep it really eco-friendly and provide a stunning boutique hotel concept,” he said. “It’s really combining some really stunning architecture

and the beauty [that] is there.”Evans and Sharpe are based in

Whistler, and have business and tourism experience in that resort community. They invested in the property years ago and plan to relocate to Revelstoke perma-nently this year.

Evans stressed the prelimi-nary nature of the concept, and said issues like building codes and zoning for the outside-the-box development would need to be worked out.

If all goes according to plan, Evans and Sharpe hope to work through the various approvals in the next year or so.

ence more shocks brought on by forces mostly outside of our con-trol. Climate change, mountain caribou, backcountry tourism and the forest industry are inter-connected, for a specific exam-ple. Our nascent ski resort and the macroeconomy go hand in hand. Infrastructure deficits will proliferate. Shocks nobody can foresee will challenge us.

But when we feel the effects of these shocks, it’s too easy to point our fingers at our neigh-bours, and find they’re the cause of the problem. For example, the local newspaper editor’s job is

often focused on the local and regional political sphere. Crum-bling asphalt streets? It’s easy to blame the latest council, and ignore big declines in infrastruc-ture funding from the federal government. Property taxes up? Is that caused by sloth and over-spending here, or downloading of provincial services?

There are and always have been pervasive forces aligned against a healthy, functioning democracy that strives to serve all. They can be external, or malignancies from within. Those forces hope and count on our disengagement, our urge to cyni-cism. They thrive on it.

It will be our ability as a com-

munity to unite, to come together that matters. This doesn’t mean direct political action – com-munity is built in so many other ways – but the realization that the personal is political and the political is personal. It means coming together reinforce and reaffirm the basis of our commu-nity, together.

It’s up to Revelstoke to unite to meet our challenges as a resil-ient, self-reliant community.

***So long; I owe so many thanks

– I’ll endeavour to deliver them to everyone in person. But for now, it’s time to roll up the sleeves for one last issue.

Self-reliance, together as a community

Editor,

Re: Revelstoke forest industry: proposed federal mountain cari-bou recovery plan will be ‘catas-trophe’ for industry, April 2.

It might be surprising to some that the David Suzuki Foundation shares one of the forestry-indus-try-stakeholder group’s primary concerns about the draft Recov-ery Strategy for Southern Moun-tain Caribou: that it lacks maps of the habitat that caribou need to survive and recover (called “critical habitat”). We agree that a description of critical habitat is not sufficient and that critical habitat maps are needed to pro-vide certainty for industry and

enforcement officers.However, we take point with

industry’s push for increasing the killing of wolves and bears while allowing logging to con-tinue in areas that are critical to caribou survival. Habitat deg-radation is the leading cause of the southern mountain caribou’s decline. It is habitat degradation such as logging and road build-ing that causes increased levels of predation; to address preda-tion without addressing the cause of habitat loss is a Band-Aid solu-tion at best. Additional logging in the habitat that southern moun-tain caribou need to survive and

recover will grease their slide towards extirpation.

We believe that jobs and hab-itat protection can exist if indus-try shows leadership. The forestry industry in B.C. could use the wood that it logs more efficiently; as one study showed, for every 205 cubic metres and 298 cubic metres of wood used respectively by Ontario and Quebec to gen-erate one full-time forest indus-try job, B.C. required 1,189 cubic metres.

Members of the Revelstoke Can-cer Support Group met last week to develop their lobby for chemotherapy services in Revelstoke.

The Times Review was invited to a lunchtime meeting at the Coast Hill-crest Hotel, where 13 members of the group discussed plans, which are at a fact-finding stage.

They spoke of physical and eco-nomic hardships created by the doz-ens of trips to Kelowna, Vernon or Salmon Arm create. The patients, often seniors, worried about the drive during the winter, when avalanche closures and big snowstorms get in the way of scheduled treatments.

One patient traveling for treatment became a caregiver recently when he rescued an injured truck driver who had been struck by falling rocks. Others spoke of dozens of trips, and countless nights in hotels and motels, creating a financial burden for them-selves and their partners, who often take time off work to attend.

They wondered what can be done to bring the services here, noting Rev-elstoke often bands together to pro-vide medical services.

Members said they’d experienced some frustration dealing with health care administrators to find out ways services could be improved. At the end of the meeting, we agreed to fact-find and look into what it would take to get more chemotherapy services here.

Chemotherapy services are pro-vided in partnership between Interior Health and the B.C. Cancer Agency.

Interior Health provides fund-ing, while the B.C. Cancer Agency (BCCA) administers and sets require-ments for their programs in B.C.

Representatives from the agencies said the odds of getting chemotherapy treatment in Revelstoke are not good.

Dr. Marianne Taylor is the Vice-President of Systemic Therapy for the BCCA. She emphasized their role is to make sure a chemotherapy program is safe, and all technical and personnel requirements are met.

She said providing the service here would require two nurses trained in oncology, a pharmacist who could mix the complex, time-sensitive med-icines, an appropriate pharmacy (which Queen Victoria Hospital does not have) and a physician with oncol-ogy training, Furthermore, they’d all have to demonstrate they’re getting enough ongoing training and experi-ence to maintain competency in their treatments.

In her view, Dr. Taylor said bring-ing these services together in Revel-stoke is not likely.

She said she understood the hard-ships created by travel to out-of-town treatments, but underscored that safe, effective and professional treatment is paramount.

“It’s a therapy that is quite danger-ous to give,” Taylor said.

When it comes to designating com-munity chemotherapy treatment cen-tres, Interior Health makes funding and resource-allocation decisions.

Peter Du Toit is the administrator for acute care for the Thompson-Cari-boo. He also acknowledged the hard-ship created by winter roads, but said Revelstoke is not a good candidate for a community clinic.

In addition to the barriers listed above, he said the number just aren’t there. Revelstoke is projected to have 44 new cancer diagnoses in 2014, and only a percentage of those require chemotherapy.

Du Toit said that number is too low. “That kind of number is certainly not enough to support a clinic,” he said. It’s not enough to support ongo-ing training and competency in staff, and it would a big allocation of staff

resources for a small number of patients.

He noted Revelstoke doesn’t have a hospital pharmacist and relies on one from Salmon Arm.

As for community fundrais-ing efforts for equipment, Du Toit

said the real barrier is personnel, which is harder to overcome. He said creating a clinic here would be a “massive task” and Interior Health has “no plans” for one.

Revelstoke Cancer Support Group member Doug Hamilton

is encouraging residents to write B.C. Minister of Health Terry Lake to push for chemotherapy treatments in Revelstoke. The minister’s email is [email protected]

RSS students visit Revelstoke soldier’s Vimy Ridge grave

This past month 16 very for-tunate Revelstoke Secondary School students witnessed the significance of contributions made by fellow Canadians on the battlefields of Europe dur-ing the twentieth century.

The student group travelled from Berlin to Amsterdam, through Flanders Fields and northern France, culminating in a visit to Paris.

Along the way they stopped to pay their respects at a con-centration camp, as well as many memorials, battlefields, museums, and historic sites.

Our European guides noted the quiet respect that descended upon the group as they explored these sites. In their red jackets they resembled poppies, mov-ing gently amongst the white grave markers and immacu-lately kept green grass and foli-age. The students made indel-ible connections everywhere they went.

At the cemeteries they were moved by the ‘Known unto God’ inscriptions that revealed the challenges in identifying the fallen. One student unex-pectedly found a family descen-dant. Others were brought to tears by the emotional acco-lades left by families, as well as the gifts left behind by oth-ers at the gravesites.

We acknowledged one of Revelstoke’s own fallen com-rades. Private John Collia died in action 100 years ago in the Battle of Vimy Ridge. We were able to place a hand-made wreath created by his great niece, Rosemary Tracey, at his gravesite. It was incred-ibly moving to actually con-nect with a Revelstokian so far from home, yet so close to our hearts. The past met the future when technology allowed one student to text Private Collia’s great great nephew to let him know that we had indeed found his family member’s final rest-ing place.

History came alive as we moved with wonder through the trenches and witnessed for ourselves the very battle-field, with craters and artillery still intact, at Vimy Ridge. The irony of being able to run free on this glorious sunny day at the spectacular memorial site was not lost upon our group.

While on the beaches of Nor-mandy at Juno, a group of us kicked off our shoes and ran down the beach to acknowledge those that had gone before us in this incredible turning point battle that enabled the Allies to liberate France. There was something indescribable about standing with our feet in the water, being washed by the tide’s timeless rhythm, looking out to England acknowledging the Herculean efforts of those that played a role in D-Day, 1944.

There were lighter moments to balance the intensity of the history we experienced. The midnight train to Amsterdam in the crowded sleeper cars was an unforgettably hilari-ous experience! The students were in awe at the beauty and uniqueness of Amsterdam, as well as the very real likelihood of being run down by the pleth-ora of cyclists.

They marvelled at the respect, recognition, and even reduced prices, they earned everywhere just by being ‘Canadian.’ Belgian waffles … need I say more?

The students cheered as they saw the Eiffel Tower come into view, and the evening that we climbed this iron wonder was filled with a celebratory spirit. The Louvre provoked curios-ity and allowed for phrases not usually heard in Revelstoke, such as, “I will meet you at the Sphinx in 10 minutes.”

There were people and

places that seemed at first to be oddly out of place, yet which added to the surreal context, such as the modern-day high tech amusement park right in the middle of the old village square in Ypres, Belgium.

The contrast of war and peace at the Menin Gate Memorial ceremony when we came face to face with Guest Speaker Phan Thi Kim Phuc, immortalized forever in the Pulitzer-Prize winning photo-graph taken of her during the Vietnam War running naked after a napalm attack, will for-ever be etched in our minds. The very fact that we were participating in this memorial ceremony that has been held nightly since Nov. 11 1929, to pay tribute to the courage and self-sacrifice of those who fell in defence of their town, was truly awe-inspiring.

Some moments were sim-ply just hard to process, such as walking alongside the remains of the Berlin Wall that divided that city for so long, or pass-ing through the bookcase and climbing the staircase to the secret hiding place of Anne Frank’s family during the Sec-ond World War. While walk-ing through the gates of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, many students com-mented that they felt like they were being observed.

Still, after all these years, these places resonate a histor-ical significance that must not, and will not, be forgotten.

Historic Roxy Theatre closes – temporarily

The Roxy Theatre closed its

doors on April 2 – but likely only for two weeks.

Owner Carl Rankin told the

Times Review he’s doing some clean-ing, painting and other maintenance inside the historic theatre, partly in preparation for sale.

He’s advertised the theatre in the Lower Mainland, and told the Times Review he’s received three expres-sions of interest.

The closure was certainly the talk of the town last week; the Roxy Theatre is amongst Revelstoke’s most notable land-marks, and is an enter-tainment mainstay for the community.

And by talk of the town, we mean on the streets, and in the coffee shops, and on social media.

In a Mar. 30 post to the Roxy The-atre Facebook page, Rankin lashed out at the City of Revel-stoke’s director of eco-nomic development, Alan Mason, and to the Revelstoke Cham-ber of Commerce’s executive director Judy Goodman.


The Roxy Theatre is a downtown Revelstoke landmark. It’s temporary closure last week caused much soul-searching and a heated online debate of sorts. Revelstoke Museum & Archives image

Amongst other things, Rankin said the pair “don’t seem to care whether the Roxy is open or not. It’s shameful, but this is unfortu-nately very true.”

Normally, an inter-personal feud on Facebook wouldn’t be worth get-ting into, but it’s become tied into the theatre’s closure, drawing pub-lic attention.

The rant drew 107 shares, 128 likes, and 99 comments. Most lamented the theatre’s closing, but many backed Carl, casting stones at the civic powers that be – seem-ingly irregardless of their actual ability or authority to intervene in the business’ dealings.

In an interview later that week, Carl admitted he went a bit over-board on the Facebook post: “I must say I was a little angry that day, and I would have toned it another way,” he told the Times Review.

But he felt the city’s economic development department could have done more to support the business.

“It’s one of the iconic, most important businesses in Revelstoke. It’s been here for 77 years,” he said.

Specifically, Rankin is upset that a film society formed to assist the Roxy Theatre didn’t get funding from the Revelstoke Tourism Infra-structure Committee.

Rankin asked for funding to install a green room, sound system, new stage lighting and a new social media outreach program.

The Revelstoke Tourism Infra-structure Committee consists mainly of business stakeholders, many of whom work in the accom-modation sector. They disburse funds that are collected through hotel taxes and earmarked for tour-ism infrastructure projects.

Put simply, they disburse a spe-cial tax on accommodation guests created with the agreement of accommodation stakeholders, and is designed to foster projects that will put heads in beds.

Alan Mason’s position as eco-nomic development director at the City of Revelstoke makes him a key player in many grant and fund-ing applications. He said Rankin’s criticism of him is misplaced; he doesn’t decide on the projects that get funded – it’s a committee deci-sion.

“They reviewed the application,” Mason said. “In the opinion of that committee, the theatre isn’t a big tourism draw. It’s nice to have but it’s not a big tourism facility.”

Although tourists visit the Roxy while here, it’s not a reason they come here, Mason said. The infra-structure committee is focused on things like the Nordic centre, snow-mobile infrastructure, mountain biking trails and dirt-bike trails – destination facilities that can draw in tourists.

He said the accusation that he

didn’t care about the welfare of a Revelstoke business is “absolute nonsense” and that he’d assisted Rankin and taken steps to steer Rankin towards other funding sources. Moreover, Mason said said it’s not the tourism infrastructure committee’s role to fund private businesses. Rankin had earmarked $250,000 of a total $430,000 for the project towards an initial share pur-chase of the Roxy Operating Com-pany.

Revelstoke Chamber of Com-merce executive director Judy Goodman also defended herself, saying she was misquoted in Carl’s Facebook post.

Goodman sits on the tourism committee and agreed with its deci-sion. “I don’t think public money should be used for private busi-ness,” Goodman said, emphasiz-ing the committee is seeking des-tination tourism projects. “Visitors don’t make a decision on a destina-tion based on whether or not there is a movie theatre.”

The committee approved several projects in March, but also turned down others.

The Roxy’s fuTuReRankin said he’s developing the

business for sale – he holds a lease at the theatre, but doesn’t own the building.

Independent movie theatres are small fish in a big pond. He can’t afford to bring the blockbusters in on release day because the stu-dios demand a multi-week contract, which isn’t viable in a small mar-ket. Like all theatres, he’s compet-ing against flat-screen TVs at home, and digital downloading.

In 2013, he applied for a liquor license for the theatre – something that was just allowed in B.C. last year. He’s restricted to two spe-cial occasion liquor licence events per month now. He has already installed a high-end digital projec-tor in the theatre, which is capa-ble of livestreaming performances, concerts, sporting events and more.

Rankin sees the future of the the-atre as a combination of traditional movie trade, with the addition of live digital events, and real-live performances like comedy tours and musical acts. He points to other communities, like Nelson, Sidney and Salmon Arm, where commu-nity involvement in the local theatre made them viable again.

“I am just looking for some com-munity support,” he said.

Later in the week, the Roxy The-atre advertised that movies would continue at the theatre.

[Disclosure: In February of 2013, after completing the story, Roxy Theatre to launch film society,

Roxy Theatre tourism funding application’s rejection leads to social media-based feud, and temporary closure of the theatre. The closure is not permanent at this point, but the theatre’s long-term plans remain in limbo.

the writer volunteered to help as a board member of the society designed to add a non-profit component to the historic theatre’s business model. Sub-sequently, he didn’t receive notice of any society meetings, nor did he attend any, although he was listed as a director in society paperwork, including the application that went to the Revelstoke Tourism Infrastructure Committee. He has since parted ways with the society.]

New uses for driver's licence ahead

With one million of its new high-tech drivers' licences in use, the B.C. government is preparing to use them for access to medical records, applying for student loans and a range of other uses.

The new driver's licence was introduced a year ago, with a digital chip that replaces the existing medical CareCard system. The health ministry esti-mated that there were more than nine million Care-Cards in circulation, about twice as many as there are residents of B.C.

Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, inno-vation and citizens' services, released results of a public consultation on the new cards this week. With digital security similar to bank cards, he said the public appears prepared to use them to apply for pre-scription renewals, birth, death and marriage certifi-cates, voter registration and criminal records checks.

Secure online access to such government services would require passwords to be issued, "robust" com-puter programs to be completed and at least half of B.C. residents to have the new cards, Wilkin-son said. They are being issued as current drivers' licences expire, and the new services could be avail-able by the end of 2015.

Proof of identity for medical care may also be used for online booking of medical appointments.

"First of all we need to make sure that only peo-ple who are entitled to health care services in Brit-ish Columbia are getting them, and secondly we have to make sure that we have the right person, the right John Smith who shows up in the emergency room after an accident and can't speak for him-self," Wilkinson said. "With the services card they'll have a unique identifier that connects them with the proper medical records and establishes that they're entitled to care."

The cards are issued to replace the current driv-er's licences, for the same $75 fee. For people who don't drive, a similar card with only medical identity is available at no charge

Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services Minister Andrew Wilkinson says the new digital driver’s licence may be used to make medical appointments, apply for a birth certificate or register to vote. black press photo

JULY 29, 1962 - MARCH 27, 2014

She is a Mother of eight, Oma of ten, a loving wife, and a caring sister; and on April 14th, long-time resident of Revelstoke, Judith Jezersek, will be 80 years young.

Her secret to staying young at heart? In the spring she can be found tending her beautiful flower garden where lilies and dahlias bloom abundantly. In the summer she enjoys lunch on the patio of the Hillcrest Hotel with her daughters and watching her grandchildren play in Williamson’s lake. In the fall and winter she rakes leaves and shovels snow with the strength and stamina of a forty year old. She spends countless hours decorating her house beautifully for Christmas - it is truly a sight to see!

She enjoys her yodelling music, surfing the internet and emailing friends and family around the world: from the coast of BC, to California to Belize, to Slovenia and Austria.

She is a strong, creative, generous and loving soul. We are so blessed to have her as the matriarch of our family. Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Judith!Celebrations Celebrations

SYSTÈME DE DÉLIVRANCE DES PERMIS D’ACCÈS HIVERNAL PRÉSENTEMENT EN VIGUEUR

Le système de délivrance des permis d’accès hivernal pour 2010/11 est présentement en vigueur au Parc NaQ onal du Canada des Glaciers. L’accès en hiver aux pentes qui font face à la voie transcanadienne et à la voie ferrée du Canadien Pacifique est soit restreint ou interdit au public. Ces restricQons sont en vigueur afin de protéger le public contre le déclenchement prévenQf d’avalanches, y compris le danger extrême qui résulte des Q rs d’arQllerie directs et les risques de déclenchement d’avalanches par résonance. Le système de délivrance des permis d’accès hivernal permet aux amateurs de sports d’hiver de pénétrer dans les zones à accès restreint qui sont touchées par le programme de prévenQon des avalanches dans le couloir rouQer lorsqu’aucun Qr d’arQllerie n’y est prévu. Le déclenchement prévenQ f d’avalanches effectué par Parcs Canada ne rend pas les pentes sécuritaires pour les amateurs de sports d’hiver et uQlisateurs de l’arrière pays en hiver.

Les changements qui ont été apportés au système de délivrance des permis d’accès hivernal comprennent notamment : une nouvelle voie d’accès pour les secteurs à accès restreint du mont Smart et du mont ForQtude, ainsi que pour le secteur à accès non restreint du ruisseau Flat; du staQonnement désigné dans le secteur à accès restreint du ruisseau Bostock; et aucun staQonnement au senQer du Jardin-‐de-‐Rocailles. Les staQonnements qui exigent un permis de staQonnement hivernal comprennent ceux des senQ ers du Ruisseau-‐Bostock, du Mont-‐Hermit, du Ruisseau-‐Loop, du Couloir-‐NRC, et de l’Arche-‐de-‐Pierre.

Si vous prévoyez passer beaucoup de temps dans les secteurs à accès restreint, il est possible d’obtenir un permis d’accès hivernal annuel afin de pénétrer dans ces secteurs. Pour ce faire, vous devez assister à une séance d’informaQon sur les permis d’accès hivernal. Un permis d’accès hivernal n’est pas exigé pour pouvoir pénétrer dans un secteur à accès non restreint, sauf pour les secteurs qui sont adjacents au secteur à accès restreint du staQonnement du ruisseau Bostock. Les permis d’accès hivernal d’une journée seront délivrés au col Rogers, mais l’émission de ces derniers dépend des acQ vités liées au programme de déclenchement prévenQf des avalanches. Il est à noter que chaque personne doit obtenir son propre permis d’une journée; les permis ne seront plus délivrés exclusivement aux chefs de groupe. Pénétrer dans une zone à accès interdit ou restreint en hiver sans avoir un permis valide est illégal et dangereux. Pour votre sécurité, veuillez obtempérer à l’affichage le long de la transcanadienne, incluant les signaux qui indiquent : « Arrêt Interdit ».

Des séances d’orientaQons auront lieu à Revelstoke, United Church, le 8 décembre à 19 hrs et à Golden, Senior Centre, le 15 décembre à 19 hrs. Des séances seront aussi offertes durant l’hiver, à parQr du Col-‐Rogers. Pour en savoir davantage sur le système de délivrance des permis d’accès hivernal ou les séances d’orientaQ on, faites le 250-‐837-‐7500 ou consultez le www.parcscanada.gc.ca/glaciers . Ce lien vous permet aussi d’obtenir des renseignements à jour sur les condiQons et d’accéder aux bulleQns d’avalanche quoQdiens. Veuillez noter que le Centre de la découverte du Col-‐Rogers est fermé jusqu’à nouvel avis pour cause de rénovaQon et le centre d’informaQon est situé temporairement à côté à l’hôtel Glacier Park Lodge.

THE WINTER PERMIT SYSTEM IN GLACIER NATIONAL PARK

Glacier NaLonal Park would like to remind everyone that the snow is falling in Rogers Pass and the Winter Permit System will take effect in the coming weeks. For the 2011/12 season:

Annual winter permit holders from 2010/11 may renew on-‐line (for details see website).

2009 winter permit holders and those who have never had an annual winter permit and want to obtain one must aMend a Winter Permit OrientaLon Session (locaLons and dates listed below).

Daily individual winter permits conLnue to be available at the Rogers Pass Discovery Centre.

There will be addiLonal closures and avalanche control done (even on stable snow days) due to new arLllery; however, closures are not expected to be significant.

Annual Winter Permit Orientation Sessions: Revelstoke – United Church, November 22 at 7pm.

Golden – Seniors Centre, November 24 at 7pm.

WINTER PERMIT SYSTEM NOW IN EFFECTGLACIER NATIONAL PARK

The 2012/13 Winter Permit System is now in effect in Glacier National Park. Access to all slopes in the park that face the Trans-Canada Highway and Canadian Paci� c Rail is either prohibited or restricted to the public.

The Winter Permit System allows backcountry users to enter Winter Restricted Areas that are part of the highway avalanche program when artillery gun� re is not anticipated in those areas. This system protects the public from avalanche control actions in the transportation corridor, but it does not render slopes safe for winter recreationists.

For the 2012/13 season:• Annual Winter Permits are available through an online Winter • Permit System quiz; parkscanada.gc.ca/skirogerspass - Parks • Canada will not be holding Orientation Sessions this year• Daily individual winter permits continue to be available at the • Rogers Pass Discovery Centre• A Waiver of Liability and Indemnity Agreement and speci� c • terms and conditions must still be accepted as in previous years.

Winter recreationists are reminded that entering a closed area in the park without a permit is dangerous and an offence under the Canada National Parks Act. With an increase in violations last year, it is important to note that one hundred percent compliance with the Winter Permit System is required. Violation of restricted and prohibited areas is punishable on conviction of a � ne of up to $200,000, and could result in permanent changes to the Winter Permit System. Don’t take the last run!

For complete details on the Winter Permit System, please visit parkscanada.gc.ca/skirogerspass or call 250-837-7500.

Please note that Glacier Park Lodge is closed for the winter of 2012/13 and there is no fuel or hotel accommodation in Rogers Pass. Travellers should plan their trips accordingly and check DriveBC.ca for current road conditions.

PARC NATIONAL DES GLACIERS LE SYSTÈME DE DÉLIVRANCE DE PERMIS D’ACCÈS

HIVERNAL EST MAINTENANT EN VIGUEUR Le système de délivrance de permis d’accès hivernal est maintenant en vigueur dans le parc national des Glaciers pour la saison 2012-2013. L’accès du public à toutes les pentes du parc qui bordent la Transcanadienne et la voie ferrée du Canadien Paci� que est interdit ou restreint.

Ce système permet aux randonneurs de l’arrièrepays de pénétrer dans les zones d’accès hivernal restreint visées par le programme de déclenchement préventif d’avalanches lorsque des tirs d’artillerie n’y sont pas prévus. Ce système protège le public contre les déclenchements préventifs dans le couloir routier, mais il n’assure pas la sécurité des pentes pour les amateurs de loisirs d’hiver.

Pour la saison 2012-2013: • Il est possible de se procurer un permis d’accès hivernal d’un an • en subissant un test-éclair en ligne sur le système de délivrance, • au parcscanada.gc.ca/skicolrogers. Parcs Canada ne tient pas de • séances d’orientation cette année. • Les particuliers peuvent obtenir leur permis d’accès hivernal • d’une journée au Centre de la découverte du ColRogers. • Comme par le passé, il faut cette année encore accepter les • modalités d’une entente d’exonération de responsabilité et • d’indemnisation.

Nous tenons à rappeler aux amateurs de loisirs d’hiver qu’il est dangereux et illégal en vertu de la Loi sur les parcs nationaux du Canada de pénétrer sans permis dans une zone fermée au public. Compte tenu de la hausse du nombre d’infractions enregistrées l’an dernier, il est important de noter que Parcs Canada exige désormais un taux de conformité de 100 % aux modalités du système de délivrance de permis d’accès hivernal. Ceux qui pénètrent illégalement dans des zones d’accès restreint ou interdit sont passibles d’une amende pouvant aller jusqu’à 200 000 $. De plus, les infractions pourraient entraîner des changements permanents au système de délivrance de permis d’accès hivernal. N’en faites pas votre dernière descente.

Pour obtenir des détails complets sur le système de délivrance de permis d’accès hivernal, consultez le site Web parcscanada.gc.ca/skicolrogers ou composez le 250-837-7500.

Veuillez noter que le Glacier Park Lodge est fermé pour l’hiver 20122013 et qu’il n’y a ni essence ni hébergement dans le col Rogers. Les voyageurs sont priés de plani� er leurs déplacements en conséquence et de consulter le site Web DriveBC.ca (en anglais seulement) pour connaître l’état des routes.le site parcscanada.gc.ca/skicolrogers

WINTER PERMIT SYSTEM NOW IN EFFECT

The 2010/11 Winter Permit System is now in effect in Glacier NaQonal Park. Access to all slopes in the park that face the Trans Canada Highway and Canadian Pacifi c Rail is either prohibited or restricted to the public.

These restricQons are in effect to protect the public from avalanche control acQ ons, the extreme danger resulQng from arQllery fire, and the potenQal for sympatheQc avalanche releases. The Winter Permit System allows backcountry users to enter Winter Restricted Areas that are part of the highway avalanche program when arQ llery gunfire is not anQcipated.

Parks Canada’s avalanche control acQons do not render slopes safe for winter recreaQ onists in Glacier NaQonal Park.

Important changes to the Winter Permit System this year include a new designated access route to Smart and ForQ tude Winter Restricted Areas and Flat Creek Winter Unrestricted Area; designated parking at Bostock Parking Winter Restricted Area; and no parking at Rockgarden. Trailhead parking that requires a Winter Parking Permit now includes Bostock, Hermit, Loop Brook, Mortar (NRC) and Stone Arch Gun PosiQ ons.

If you plan on recreaQng frequently in Winter Restricted Areas, it is possible to obtain an Annual Winter Permit to enter these areas by aRending a Winter Permit OrientaQon Session. A permit is not required for accessing Winter Unrestricted Areas, with the excepQon of Winter Unrestricted Areas adjacent to the Bostock Parking Winter Restricted Area. Daily Winter Permits will sQll be issued in Rogers Pass dependent on anQcipated avalanche control acQviQes; however, each individual will have to obtain their own Daily Winter Permit, as permits will no longer be issued solely to group leaders. Entering a Prohibited or Restricted Area in the park without a valid permit is dangerous and illegal.

For your own safety, please obey all signs along the highway, including the designated “NO STOPPING” areas due to avalanche hazard.

OrientaQon sessions will be held in Revelstoke, December 8, 7 pm at the United Church and in Golden, December 15, 7 pm at the Seniors Centre. Sessions will also be delivered through the winter at Rogers Pass.

For more informaQon on the Winter Permit System and OrientaQon Sessions, please call 250-‐837-‐7500, or visit www.parkscanada.gc.ca/glacier. The most current condiQons and daily avalanche bulleQns are also available on Glacier NaQonal Park’s website link above. Please note that the Rogers Pass Discovery Centre is closed for renovaQ ons and Parks Canada operaQons have been re-‐located to Glacier Park Lodge next door unQ l further noQce.

It’s been a busy few weeks for the Revelstoke Ski Club’s racing team. The club hosted the Okanagan zone finals for U16, U14 and U12 on March 29–30, and then the U16 and U14 ski-ers participated in international com-petition at the Whistler Cup April 4–6. And over the last two weeks of March, the FIS team was at Whistler and Grouse Mountain for the Senior National Championships, and the final

races of the Keurig Cup series-FIS team member Emily Unterberger earned

another podium result in the final Keurig Cup, coming in second for the U18 racers. That result capped a great season for the young racer, earn-ing her a third overall for the Keurig Cup series, and an invitation to the B.C. Team’s talent camp later this month in Whistler.

“The last couple weeks of the season were great,” reports Emily. “I had some pretty good results and I’m excited to head out to Whistler next week to start preparing for next season!”

Other members of Revelstoke FIS team also had a strong end of season. Jamie Park came in 13th overall, skiing with a knee injury. Mitch Smith was 10th in the U18 men, and 23rd over-all, finishing strong after missing some races after an injury in early March.

“Although my season had some setbacks I believe the progress outweighed the let-downs,” Mitch said. “I am happy with my success in my first season of FIS and I’m looking forward to next season and the adventure that comes with it.”

Despite the injuries, Coach Gregor Druz-ina said he is also pleased with the end-of-sea-son results. “Emily especially came out strong and really performed well. Her GS spring series was her best skiing ever, where she was head-to-head with national team athletes and the best skiers from other provinces. I was happy with the attitude of all the athletes and the approach they were taking. They were tired, but we pushed through together.”

I would like to thank Revelstoke Mountain Resort for good support on training space, Ned Lazarevic to help this training to happened. As well all the club members who did support us as well all the parents and sponsors of club.

The U14 and U16 racers had their first taste of competing against skiers from other coun-tries at the 22nd annual Whistler Cup. Some 400 racers from 27 countries gathered in Whis-tler for three days of slalom, GS and super G events. Colm Molder placed 36th in slalom, a very respectable result for a first-year U14 racer.

All members of the Revelstoke Ski Club—the Nancy Greene league, the all-mountain gang, the U12, U14 and U16 racers, and the FIS team—say a big “thank you” to RMR and to our sponsors for a great season. We’re also grateful to Head Coach Ned Lazarevic for his guidance and dedication. See you next winter!
