REVIEW

CP Rail is looking at moving workers from Revelstoke to Golden in order to cre-ate an extended coal train run that would eliminate crew changes here.

“It is the company’s intent to operate coal trains in extended service runs (ESR) between Kamloops, B.C., and Golden, B.C., without the need to change crews at Revel-stoke, B.C.,” wrote Chris Clark, the assistant

director of labour relations for CP Rail in a letter to Teamsters Canada Rail Conference union leadership.

The move would involve establishing a new home terminal in Golden dedicated to running coal trains to and from Kamloops. It’s a 350 kilometre run.

The letter says the change would go into effect on June 20, 2016, though the exact start date could be pushed back if the Team-sters choose to fight the move.

It says no jobs would be lost, but does not

say how many positions would be moved out of Revelstoke as a result of the change.

Greg Edwards, the Teamster's general chairman for locomotive engineers in west-ern Canada, said the union still has lots of questions about CP Rail's proposal and he is still waiting for many details from CP as to what the changes might mean.

“This notice falls completely short of the requirements in our collective agreement provisions for making any type of material change in working conditions," he told the

Review, adding that the timelines set out by CP Rail are "unrealistic."

He said they would be issuing a letter in response and that letter would be made public.

Sources tell the Review a trip from Gold-en to Kamloops would take at least 10 hours, however it can sometimes take that long just to make the journey through the mountains. Engineers and conductors are

Universal Footwear has been the go-to place for shoes in Revelstoke for more than 30 years. They stock everything from kids shoes to formal wear to rugged hiking boots.

Over the years the store has developed a sterling reputation for its customer ser-vice; they've been voted Best Customer Service in the last two Best of Revel-stoke reader polls. It and owner Malcolm Bott have won numerous local business awards. They’re not just a local favourite, but also a stop for tourists. My mother, visiting from Montreal, walked out of the store with two new pairs of shoes after a visit last spring.

They carry shoes by Scarpa, Columbia, Keen, Skechers, Bogs, Crocs, New Bal-ance, Salomon, Portofino, Red Wing, Nike, Vasque, Asics, Sorel, Timberland, Birken-stock, Blundstone, Converse and more.

I went in last week to talk Malcolm’s son Jordan — the shop’s heir apparent – for advice about purchasing hiking boots, running shoes, socks and more. While Mal-colm is the owner, he said Jordan was the guru when it comes to fitness and athletics.

We started talking about hiking shoes. Do you need a rugged boot if you’re going to hit the trails, or will a lighter shoe do?

The answer is it depends on what kind of hiking you do. Bott said the first ques-tion he’ll ask people is if they’re going to be carrying a backpack and, if so, how heavy.

If you’re just doing easier day hikes in Mount Revelstoke National Park or Rog-ers Pass, a lighter hiking shoe will do, says Bott. If you’re lugging a heavy pack on a multi-day trip, a solid boot will help.

“Lots of people think they need a Ger-man-made mountaineering boot you can attach crampons too when really all they’re going to be doing is day hikes in Mount Revelstoke or at the Pass,” he says. “If you’re just carrying a light backpack, chances are you’ll be more comfortable in a good shoe.”

If you have ankle issues, something with a higher cut will be helpful. A hiking

boot will be stiffer and provide more sup-port, but they’ll also be heavier.

“People doing overnighters in Rogers Pass or the West Coast Trail, we recom-mend they have a good, sturdy boot and have it fitted properly,” he says.

Next, we went over to the running shoe section. Bott had different advice for new and experienced runners. If you’re new to the sport, he recommends a “neutral trail runner.”

One of the key elements is the drop — the difference in height between the heel and the toe. For a new runner, he advises getting something with a smaller drop. “I wouldn’t recommend something ultra-minimal,” he adds.

If you’ve been running for a while, he says to bring in your old shoes. He can tell by the sole how you run, and make a recommendation based on that. “If you’re an existing runner, the best thing to do is bring in your old shoes and be aware of how you run can affect the wear on your shoes and what that can tell you about your next pair of shoes,” he says.

One bit of advice that was new to me was to purchase a pair of sandals or flip-flops with good support to wear after you exercise. Bott says its not good to go straight from a long workout to walking around barefoot.

“The muscles of your feet are going to be tired and if you go out and walk around barefoot on your hardwood floor, the cu-mulative effect of that can cause some long-term issues,” he advises.

A good sandal will support your feet and they will feel better the next time you go out, he says.

Of course, Universal sells much more than just sports shoes. There’s a wide va-riety of kids, casual, and formal shoes; and socks. The one thing that applies to all shoes is to make sure they fit properly. That means there should be about a finger-width of space at the back when your toes are pushed against the front of the shoe.

“You should be able to kick stuff and not have your toes bash against the end,” he said.

Universal Footwear is located in the Alpine Village Mall off Victoria Road.

Sometimes when things become so prevalent in our society, we forget they do have the potential for problems. NSAIDs is a class of pain relieving medication that is highly advertised on the media and includes drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen. They are available without prescription but they can raise the risk of heart attack in people with existing heart disease. If you do need pain relief, try acetaminophen and if you do use NSAIDs, use the lowest dose possible.

Inhaled insulin is quite an attractive

idea to diabetics who have to inject insulin daily. One version came on the market in the US. in June 2014 but the company pulled it from the market in January 2016. It never made it to Canada.

Lowering your blood pressure is one of the best ways of reducing your risk of heart attack and stroke. However, many people don’t even know they have high blood pressure. If you might be one of these, have your blood pressure checked soon. High blood pressure is easily treated and the treatment could save your life.

What’s in your toothpaste? It is still a good idea to use a toothpaste containing fluoride. It is proven to prevent cavities and strengthen tooth enamel. People worried about the toxicity of fluoride (it is toxic in large doses) don’t have to worry about the minuscule amount in toothpaste.

If you have an understanding of how medications work in your body, you will make a greater effort to take your medication as the doctor ordered. We can help.

A split council approved moving forward on a design for the Trans-Canada High-way intersection at a special meeting last Wednesday.

Councillors Linda Nixon, Scott Duke, Aaron Orlando and Trevor English voted in favour of a design that would include a roundabout at Victoria and Wright, block left turns into the Tim Hortons/Shell and out of the Woodenhead Loop; and keep the Bend/Frontage Road loop.

Mayor Mark McKee and coun. Gary Sulz voted against the plan. McKee wanted to explore putting a traffic light at the railway bridge over Victoria Road to see if holding up highway-bound traffic there would alle-viate the problem. “I don’t like the idea of us throwing out a $300,000 option and going right to $2 million without having all the information,” he said.

Council spent about two hours hearing about and discussing options for the inter-section. Elisa Becker and David Kneeshaw, engineers from McElhanney Consulting, the firm hired to design and oversee con-struction for the intersection, were on hand to speak to council about their proposal.

The meeting was scheduled after council balked at moving forward last week and in-stead opted to hold the special meeting on the intersection. They were scared off by re-vised estimates that pegged the cost of the work at more than $2.1 million, and fears the design wouldn’t work.

Kneeshaw and Becker said their design was created based on earlier work, and was based on the assumption that it would need to eliminate the problematic left turns at Victoria and Mutas, and add the round-about to compensate.

“Those two things are key to everything we’ve done so far,” said Kneeshaw.

“The crux of the whole design is when you restrict the left into this area and make it a right in, the traffic is free flowing,” add-ed Becker.

They said the model showed a 100 per cent improvement to peak traffic flows. It would reduce delays to less than 30 seconds from over five minutes for some traffic movements.

They presented several alternative plans. One would have kept the left hand turn into Tim Hortons, however they did not recom-

mend it, saying it would only improve traf-fic flows by 30 per cent for the same cost of the other designs. “I see us paying for flag-gers again and the community have a good laugh for doing all that,” said Nixon.

A second maintained the Frontage/Bend Road loop that was eliminated in previous designs. It was based on feedback received at a March open house, though Becker said it made for an “awkward design.”

Mayor McKee threw a wrinkle into the debate when he brought up the idea of a traffic light at the railway overpass. He said it would only stop traffic going out to the highway in order make room at the Mutas Road intersection.

“I still like the idea of a traffic light on the CP bridge and stopping traffic from going into that intersection unless the highway light is green,” he said. “I’d like someone to say you spend $2 million, it’s going to be 100 per cent fixed. I don’t have that level of comfort. I like that idea of a light and leave everything else as it is.”

His proposal got a modicum of support. Linda Nixon added a rider to her motion to have the consultants see if the Ministry of Transportation would even consider the mayor’s proposal.

She also proposed the initial motion to move forward on the roundabout.

“I think if we stop and go back and start again, we’re going to lose a year,” she said. “I think it’s unfair to the people in (Columbia Park) to stop and start again.”

Council was under pressure to make a de-cision in order to get construction finished before the summer of 2017. The current construction timeline calls for the round-about to be built this fall and the rest of the work to be done next spring. The city has budgeted $1.2 million for the project and there is no word yet on how any extra costs would be paid for.

The vote means McElhanney will now produce detailed designs that will refine the cost of the project before it goes to tender.

“A cost estimate would come back to council before we proceed with a tender,” said Mike Thomas, the city’s director of en-gineering. “At that point council would de-cide to proceed.”

Thomas added that if the Ministry of Transportation said the mayor’s traffic light proposal was acceptable, they could have the consultants run a model on the proposal and bring it back to council.

After years of waiting, there’s little ex-citement to be found in a new report on the City of Revelstoke’s operational pro-curement.

The city has solid foundation for opera-tional procurement but needs to continue its good practices by updating its policies, says the Auditor General for Local Gov-ernment in a new report published Friday morning.

“Overall, we found that the City of Rev-elstoke met most of our expectations, had a solid foundation for operational procurement and that staff fully com-plied with the expectations provided to them in the city’s policies,” wrote AGLG Gordon Ruth. “To meet its operational procurement objectives more fully, Rev-elstoke will need to build on its existing good practices by updating its procure-ment and conflict of interest policies and undertaking additional monitoring and reporting relating to operational procure-ment and the achievement of value for money.”

The report, called Achieving Value for Money in Operational Procurement, looked at Revelstoke’s procurement prac-tices from 2010 to 2012. The auditors went over 25 different procurements from that time period.

Operational procurement relates to the day-to-day operations of the city and doesn’t include capital spending. Accord-ing to the report, it represents about a third of the city’s operational spending.

There’s no bombshells in the report. There’s no tales of government waste or corruption. The report goes over the city’s procurement policies and says they’re generally good and are followed by staff, but that there are gaps that need to be filled in.

“Effectively, what we found was the City of Revelstoke met most of our au-dited expectations,” said Ruth in an in-terview.

Mayor Mark McKee said he was disap-pointed in the lack of major findings.

“I see the purpose of these things of coming up with revelations that will help us manage and run the city better, more efficiently, more cost effective,” he said. “I guess it’s good its not there, but I’m al-ways looking to do better.”

The report says the city lacks guidance on length of contracts, contract dispute resolution procedures, the use of sub-contractors, and contract monitoring or legal review of larger contracts.

It says purchasing policies should pro-vide direction on how staff deal with vendors. It says the city should debrief unsuccessful bidders and assess vendor performance. It also says the city should keep its scoring sheets for competitive bidding processes — something it did not do during the audit period.

The report says the city needs to im-prove its conflict of interest policies. Staff aren’t required to periodically re-view conflict regulations and there’s no requirement for vendors to disclose any conflicts. There’s also no whistleblower protection for staff who know their col-leagues are in conflict.

The report also knocks the city for not monitoring and tracking the perfor-mance of its operational procurement. It says the city needs to do more perfor-mance monitoring and more reporting on procurement results to council.

Revelstoke was among the first com-munities to be chosen to be audited by the AGLG when the office was created in 2012. The report was delayed due to dis-array in the Office of the AGLG, and the original AGLG, Basia Ruta, was fired last year after only producing three reports in two years. Since then, the office has pro-duced about one report per month.

Ruth says the recommendations are still relevant and valuable, despite the fact the field work for the audit was done two to three years ago. Since then, the city has seen an almost entirely new may-or and council elected and has replaced its chief administrator and city planner.

Ruth said his office was in touch with city staff over the past few months as it prepared the report.

“The recommendations around im-provements to policy and reporting are still of value today and will still assist the city in continuing to do a better job at what they do,” he said.

McKee said many of the recommen-dations have already been implemented over the past few years.

“I think if the report was updated to-day, you would see an even better report on the city’s procurement policies,” he said. “I’m confident changes have been made as a matter of regularly doing busi-ness and I don’t have any concerns in that regard.”

A management response says the city has an ongoing program to review and update its policies and will incorporate the auditor’s recommendations as it does so. The city also intends to look at best practices for monitoring performance and will increase reporting on procure-ment results to council.

When asked if this report could lead to a core review, McKee said that would be up to council.

“It’s a big deal, it’s expensive, it takes a lot of time,” he said. “I guess if council thinks there are issues that should be looked at, then this may be one of the ways to do that.”

allowed to work up to 12 hours per shift.The letter says the change is designed

to eliminate a crew change point for coal trains, along with the associated expenses. Right now, coal trains travel from the Cran-rbook area to Golden, where crews from Revelstoke take over the trains and drive them here. In Revelstoke, a new crew gets on and drives the trains onwards to Kam-loops, where another crew change takes place.

The move would also speed up transit time through the mountain corridor, CP Rail says.

In January, Transport Canada repri-manded CP Rail for fatigue issues on extended service runs from Kamloops to Vancouver.

CP Rail did answere the Review’s questions about the letter. In one e-mail, company spokes-person Salem Woodrow simply confirmed the discussions were happening. In a second e-mail, in response to specific questions about the rea-

son for the change, how many jobs might be im-pacted, and if the change could include more than just coal trains, Woodrow wrote, “Any changes in our operations will be communicated directly to our employees.”

Jason Edmondson has experienced a roller coaster of emo-tions the past few days, ever since the former Revelstoke resi-dent had to flee his Fort McMurray home.

“We’re in a daze,” he told me on the phone from a friend’s house in Calgary. “There’s moments of clearness, then just com-plete daze.”

Edmondson grew up in Revelstoke but has lived in Fort Mc-Murray for the past eight years, where he works for Suncor. His mother lives in Revelstoke and he has many friends here.

Videos of his escape from the fires that have devastated Fort McMurray have been picked up by the national media. One shows him and his girlfriend, Ginny Rice, approaching a wall of flames as they turn onto Highway 63 south. A second vid-eo shows them driving off into a glowing wall of smoke. It’s a surreal scene. In the first video, they’re cursing in shock and disbelief at the situation. As they drive into the smoke, they’re almost silent, with only the radio playing as the video ends.

“I jumped out of an airplane and that’s quite a rush. That was a cake walk compared to this,” Edmondson told me. “The adren-aline and fear and confusion, there’s too much going on in your head to process at one time.”

Fort McMurray was evacuated on Tuesday when a raging wildfire overwhelmed firefighters and engulfed the city. It was the largest evacuation in Canadian history and the blaze con-tinues to grow.

Edmondson was at the bank on Tuesday morning when he first heard that parts of the city were being evacuated. He went back to his home in the Waterways neighbourhood to get Rice. They went to pick up a prescription for their dog, but by the time they got back, the evacuation notice was in full effect. A drive that nor-mally took 10 minutes took more than an hour.

They rushed home to pack up as much as they could.“Pretty much the whole neighbourhood was in a panic throw-

ing everything they could into their vehicles,” he said. They went inside to pack up and grab the dogs. When Edmondson went back outside, he could hear the roar of the flames. He yelled at Rice that they had to leave.

“That was a pretty scary moment,” he said.They got in their car and turned out of the trailer park, leav-

ing their cats behind. Only then could they see the flames not much more than 100 metres away. The whole hillside near his home was on fire. They could feel the intense heat of the flames around them.

“The heat, then noise, then the sights and sounds of that fire — it felt like you were in it,” he said.

Edmondson and Rice were somewhat fortunate in that they beat the main rush of traffic out of town. They were able to head south on Highway 63 and fill their tank with gas, unlike so many others who had to abandon their vehicles.

The drive out was chaotic, with cars in all lanes, on the shoul-der and the median, but they were able to get out smoothly compared to what thousands of others experienced. Police were

at every intersection directing traffic and emergency personnel were heading the other way, towards the flames.

They made it south and were staying with friends in Calgary when they spoke to the Review.

I asked Edmondson what they lost. “Everything,” he replied. I re-phrased my question: “What did you save?”

“Imagine trying to pack your life up in five minutes, trying to figure out what to to take and what not to take,” he said. “It was tough knowing that my cats were there. It’s still really hard.”

The trailer he was renting is almost certainly gone, along with everything in it. According to reports, 90 per cent of the homes in the Waterways neighbourhood were lost. He got out with a few changes of clothes, his laptop, a toothbrush and some heir-looms from his grandfather.

Rice’s family, who also live in Fort McMurray, were also able to get out and make it Calgary.

Edmondson was planning to move away from Fort McMurray at the end of the month but now he’s not so sure.

“Now it doesn’t feel right. It feels like I should go back and

help rebuild,” he said. “I’m really proud of our city. I’m proud of the rescue crews. I’m proud of all the volunteers, everybody that helped out, the com-plete strangers that helped people out.”

He’s amazed at the generosity of the people who have helped out and made donations. A friend in Revelstoke has stepped up to collect household items, and others have given them clothes and other items.

“The generosity makes me just as tearful as the horror of it all. There’s so many tears for so many different reasons,” he said. “There’s times I feel liberated. I’m free. I got rid of all my stuff. I got nothing.”

You can watch Edmondson's videos on the Re-view website.

As we look towards another summer tourist season, we are reminded that Rev-elstoke and Golden are still waiting for the major upgrades to the Trans-Canada Highway that are desperately needed.

We do know that the BC Liberals un-derstand the importance of this issue to people in this area; prior to the last two elections, the government has put up signs along the highway promising to four lane and divide the Trans-Canada from Kamloops to the Alberta border. And I attended the Premier's 2012 Union

of BC Municipalities speech where she pledged to get it done in 10 years.

But actually pledging the money to fin-ish the job is where the BC Liberals are falling down. The money currently bud-geted for upgrades are laid out for the next three years, and the projected sums will make very little progress towards the completion of the project. This continues to be disappointing to all of us that live along the Trans-Canada.

We must persist in pushing for mean-ingful improvement, and we must insist that these improvements are made as soon as possible. There is a provincial election coming in 2017, and that of-ten means that government will make the decision to spend on infrastructure. Take a moment to send a message to the Premier at [email protected]. Tell her to fulfill her promise to complete the Trans-Canada Highway project.

The provincial transportation minister was in Ottawa recently to push for fed-eral investment for the Trans-Canada.

He told me that he was encouraged by the meeting.

The federal Liberals are going to spend significantly on infrastructure, and a large federal investment would improve the safety and reliability of our national highway.

Please keep this section of the Trans-Canada Highway at the top of the federal minister's mind. Please write to Federal Minister of Transportation Marc Gar-neau at [email protected].

I will continue to raise this important issue at every opportunity. I will con-tinue to work with mayor and council in both Revelstoke and Golden, the Colum-bia Shuswap Regional District, and MP Wayne Stetski to push for building a truly safe national highway of which our coun-try can be very proud.

Norm Macdonald is the MLA for Colum-bia River–Revelstoke. He can be reached at 1-866-870-4188 or [email protected].

Keep the Trans-Canada at the top of the list

MLA REPORT

I had an interesting discussion on Facebook the other day with a friend about the possible impact of CP Rail pull-ing their operations out of Revelstoke.

The threat of CP closing up shop here has long been speculated as a worst-case scenario for the community. It's been just as often dismissed as something unrealstic, given the long runs between

Golden and Kamloops.Now the company is looking to move

the coal train terminal to Golden, cut-ting out crew changes in Revelstoke, and no doubt forcing some workers, and their families, to move. Whether it hap-pens, and how many people it would im-pact, remains to be scene.

As I chatted with my friend, she said this showed Revelstoke needed to diver-sify its economy. The economic develop-ment people here like to point out how we have a diverse economy for a small town. There's CP Rail, forestry, tourism, the National Parks, government jobs, BC Hydro and numerous other small busi-nesses and organizations. Many small towns are beholden to a single mill or mine for economic activity; Revelstoke is fortunate to not be in this position.

Still, my friend argued, if CP Rail moved

away, or if Downie Timber closed up, the town would be devastated. She's right — we're too reliant on a couple of big em-ployers for jobs, and there's lack of manu-facturing and a knowledge economy.

The Revelstoke economy is doing well. The labour market and business reten-tion reports that came out last year attest to that. There are good jobs here if you're creative and motivated, or if your skills match the labour demands here.

At the same time, my friend is right that if something happened to one of the pillars of our economy, the community would sink. Revelstoke Mountain Re-sort helped diversify the economy over the past decade by boosting tourism, but those efforts need to continue to ensure Revelstoke remains resilient. Meanwhile, let's hope the union fight to keep CP jobs here is successful.

Cooper’s, the grocery store chain that got its start in Revelstoke 60 years ago, is slowly disap-pearing.

The Revelstoke branch re-opened as Save-On Foods last Friday, May 6, with the red Cooper’s sign replaced by bright green of the new brand.

“Save-On offers way more for our customers,” said store manager Rob Bett, shortly after 8 a.m. on Friday. “It’s better pricing, better deals for the consumer.”

Cooper’s was started by Ron Cooper in Revel-stoke in 1956 and eventually expanded to include 15 stores, with four locations in Kamloops, three in the central Okanagan, and one each in Vernon. Merritt, Princeton, Hope, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, and Port Coquitlam.

The chain was purchased by the Overwaitea Food Group in 1999. This year, they’ve been con-verting the remaining Cooper’s stores to the Save-On moniker as a way of consolidating their brands.

Bett said the move will mean better pricing for Revelstokians, who will benefit from a larger flyer and more deals. He said prices will be the same here as at all other Save-On stores across the province.

He wasn’t worried about switching away from a well-know local brand and said Cooper’s would al-ways remain that to its customers.

“The customers will see the same smiling faces here. The service is not going to change. We’re still going to provide them with excellent service and go the extra mile for them,” Bett said. “From the local’s point of view, it’s still Coopers. The name has changed, the people inside haven’t changed.”

A new initiative has been launched to try to protect Mount Macpherson from future logging.

'Save Macpherson' is the latest effort put together to protect the popular recreation area from logging.

“The MacPherson recreational area is at the heart of Revelstoke's year round mountain tourism industry," said Brent Strand, in a news release. "Pro-vincial land use policies and process need to evolve to include the voice of all those who stand to gain from this priceless resource."

A big outcry emerged after the Review revealed plans by BC Timber Sales to log the area of the TNT trail in September 2014. A subsequent petition gained more than 1,600 online signatures, and local politicians appealed to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to start a new land-use planning process.

Those calls were ignored, and logging is set to take place any time between June 1 and October 31.

The new initiatives calls for people to write city council, MLA Norm Mac-donald, and MLA Steve Thomson, the Minister for FLNRO.

The group Save Macpherson have created a website and a video featuring numerous locals saying, "Save Macpherson."

The group says "current provincial land use management and policy do not allow for inclusive decision making for this important multi-use area."

A rally to "save Macpherson" has been scheduled for Saturday, May 21, at 2 p.m. starting at the Nordic Lodge parking lot.

Nova ScotiablesThe Nova Scotiables are not from their name-

Their music is heavily influenced by Maritime and Irish music, though with comparison to the Dub-liners, the Pogues, Great Big Sea and the Dropkick Murphys, you know they come at the genre with lots of energy. They promise a party that “will have the whole family sippin’ and jiggin’ in no time.” Watch them play on July 5.

Joanne StaceyJoanne Stacey’s songs are starting to find

themselves on radio playlists all over Canada, the U.S. and overseas. This Revelstoke country singer and songwriter recently released My September, her fourth solo album, and sixth if you include her two with Sister Girl. The songs were written in Revelstoke and Nashville, by herself and with friends. Her music exudes traditional country, but with a bit of modern-touch. She performs on July 4 and August 1.

When Greg Hoffart was a kid, he would ven-ture into the yard of local builder Emile Ro-

cher. It was the 80’s and Emile had solar panels ev-erywhere, including walkways. “I always thought it was from the future, that he had gone in a time machine and brought some back,” Hoffart said.

With such a friend (and later work mentor), along with Hoffart’s wonderfully idealistic phi-losophy of helping change the world for the better, it should come as no surprise that the owner of Tree Construction does his best to build socially conscious homes.

The most visible example of his work is the du-plex he built at the corner of Eighth and Downie in Revelstoke’s Southside neighbourhood. The home is designed to reduce heat loss in winter and stay cool in summer, all while minimizing energy con-sumption.

The homes he builds are efficient and cheap to heat. “The result is a beautiful house because be-ing a high performance house requires attention to detail,” Hoffart says.

The idea of a sustainably developed home was

first envisioned in the 1970’s in Saskatchewan, where the hope was to build a home costing very little to heat. It was revamped in the 1990’s in Germany. By 1996 a Passive House Institute was created, along with a building standard. The goal was to passively heat a home. Once built, passive-ly heated homes (PH) have little maintenance or breakdown costs.

The extra expenses coming from building a PH depend on fuel, material and labour costs, along with the complexity of the structure. According to Passive House Economics, a case study on PH homes by Malcolm Isaacs of Construction Maison Passive Inc., in association with Olejar Architec-ture, four homes were built with a net extra cost from $18,000 to $39,000 to achieve the PH stan-dard in Canada. However, it should be noted that the long term savings in energy bills ultimately saves the homeowner more money than the extra costs of building.

“People here think PH is unattainable because our winters are not like European winters, which is incorrect,” says Hoffart. “Still, I don’t aim to

Allergies & Your EyesAllergy season is upon us and the same irritantsthat cause sneezing and runny noses also cancause red, itchy, watery eyes. Many peoplereach for over-the-counter oral antihistaminesat this time of the year. While systemicantihistamines can help provide somerelief to the eyes, many people stillsuffer with ocular symptoms.

Tips for Eye Allergy ReliefAvoid allergens: when the pollen count is high keeping your windows closed and wear wrap around sunglasses when outside to reduce the amount of allergens directly contacting the ocular surface.

Removing contact lenses: allergens can accumulate on the surface on the contact lenses. Consider wearing your glasses. Or ask us about daily disposable contact lenses that you discard after a single use to avoid the build up of allergens on the lens surface.

Over-the-counter drops: lubricating eye drops can help remove allergens from the eye. There are also specific allergy drops to help relieve mild symptoms. Ask your pharmacist for their recommendations.

Prescription drops: when symptoms are severe, or over the counter drops are not providing adequate relief, you may require a stronger medication.

If you are suffering from red, itchy, watering eyes come see us today to help determine the best treatment options for you.

The Review finished runner-up to the Oliver Chronicle for Newspaper Excellence in category B of the Ma Murray Community Newspaper Awards, which were handed out at the River Rock Casino in Richmond, B.C., on Saturday, May 7.

Judges called the Review “a dynamic looking pa-per that has much style as substance.” The front page and arts & entertainment section were sin-gled out for praise.

“2015 was a big year for our paper. We changed our name to the Review and launched a new de-sign, while continuing to do our best to cover the community,” said editor Alex Cooper. “We are very happy to be recognized for our efforts and plan on continuing our work in the future.”

Buchanan finished in third place for his cartoon about the highway shopping centre proposal. First place went to Wyatt Tremblay of the Yukon News.

“Not many small town newspapers have the pleasure of a local cartoonist,” said Cooper. “I look forward to seeing what Rob produces every week, and it’s great to see him recognized as one of the best in B.C.”

COMMUNITY

BC Hydro (Proponent) is proposing to install a 500-megawatt generating unit into an existing turbine bay at Revelstoke Generating Station (proposed Project), located 5 km north of the City of Revelstoke. A new capacitor station would also be built on an existing transmission line approximately 19 km west of Summerland. The capacitor station is needed to reliably deliver the extra electricity generated to the BC Hydro grid.

The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act.

The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for a certificate by the Proponent, Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve Application Information Requirements.

The Application Information Requirements will specify the studies to be conducted and the detailed information to be provided by the Proponent in its Application. EAO has now received draft Application Information Requirements from the Proponent and invites comments on this draft.

In order to provide information about the Application Information Requirements EAO invites the public to attend an Open House. There will be two Open Houses to be held as follows:

at: Revelstoke Community Centre 600 Campbell Avenue, Revelstoke

on: Wednesday May 25, 2016 from: 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.and, at: District of Summerland Recreation Centre,

13205 Kelly Avenue, Summerland on: Thursday May 26, 2016 from: 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

There are 31 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the draft Application Information Requirements. The comment period will begin on Friday, May 20, 2016 and end on Monday, June 20, 2016.

All comments received during this comment period in relation to the Application Information Requirements will be considered.

The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment.

After taking public comments into account, EAO will finalize the Application Information Requirements and issue them to the Proponent.

EAO accepts public comments through the following ways:

• By Online Form at: http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca

• By Mail: Kate Haines Project Assessment Manager Environmental Assessment Office PO Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9V1

• By Fax: Fax: 250-387-2208

An electronic copy of the Application Information Requirements and information regarding the environmental assessment process are available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca. Copies of the Application Information Requirements are also available for viewing at these locations:

• Okanagan Regional Library – Revelstoke Branch 600 Campbell Avenue, Revelstoke

• Okanagan Regional Library – Summerland Branch 9533 Main Street, Summerland

If you are unable to participate at this time, there will be an additional comment period during the Application Review stage when you will also be able to provide comments to EAO on the proposed Project.

The Columbia Basin Trust is funding a new skateboard park, upgrades to the Frisby Ridge trail and improvements for the Selkirk Saddle Club as part of its new Recreation Infrastructure Grant.

The CBT announced $3.5 million for 42 projects across the basin, including three in Revelstoke, last Thursday.

The City of Revelstoke is getting $150,000 in funding for the new skateboard park in Kovach Park. Karl Jost, the president of the Columbia Val-ly Skateboard Association, which is leading efforts to build the skatepark, said the funding gives the organization almost $500,000 for the project.

“We’re stoked,” he said. “It would have been nice to get more but we’re not going complain at all. 150 grand is 150 grand.”

He said the cost of the park is a little more than $1 million, but could be built for $850,000 de-pending on the amount of in-kind donations.

“We’re going to make a push to start building the park next year,” said Jost.

The city had applied for $500,000 in funding.The Revelstoke Cycling Association is getting

$123,250 in funding to upgrade and extend the Frisby Ridge trail. As reported last month, the RCA plans to extend the trail by 7.5 kilometres through the alpine, and repair the damage done by last fall’s combination of heavy rain and heavy traffic.

“It’s great news. It gives us lots of options of exciting things to do on Frisby Ridge,” said Keith McNab, the president of the RCA.

He said the plan is to rehabilitate the trail this summer, extend it in the alpine next summer, and, if there’s money left, to build a connector to the Ultimate Frisby downhill trail in 2018.

The Selkirk Saddle Club is getting $5,160 in funding to upgrade its outdoor riding arena to make it a safer and healthier environment for horses and riders.

CBT provided $3.5 million in funding for 42 projects throughout the basin. It has now opened the second intake of its three year, $9 million pro-gram. The deadline to apply for the second intake is Monday, July 11.

“We’re pleased to provide grants to such a wide range of projects that will help people stay fit and enjoy where we live,” said Neil Muth, Columbia Basin Trust President and Chief Executive Of-ficer, in a news release. “Supporting residents to lead active, healthy lifestyles is one of our strategic priorities, and developing the amenities that help them do so is an important step.”


Three recreation projects get CBT funding

The Columbia Valley Skateboard Associa-tion is a little closer to replacing the Kovach Park skateboard park after receiving a $150,000 grant from the Columbia Basin Trust.

After coming up 1,616 votes short in the 2013 B.C. provincial election, Doug Clovechok has an-nounced he will be the Columbia River-Revelstoke Liberal candidate once again when voters return to the polls next spring.

Clovechok previously ran for a seat in this rid-ing against incumbent Norm Macdonald, earning 4,847 votes and 36.19 per cent of the ballots that were cast.

"Since the last election, we learned a lot and I've continued to be active within the riding, working with various ministers on different files and help-ing people. It was my intent right from the last election to seek the nomination again and I was successful in doing that," Clovechok said.

Clovechok believes that his work and presence in the riding since the 2013 campaign will help him close the gap to the NDP in next spring's race in a riding that has only elected a Liberal candidate once since 1991.

"We've been able to continue to raise not only my profile but the profile of the BC Liberals," he said.

"You also have to remember that 13,000 people in this riding did not vote last time, so there's cer-tainly some room for growth there."

Several regional issues lie at the forefront for Clovechok, including the Trans-Canada Highway, childcare and health.

"Between Revelstoke and Golden the Trans-Canada Highway remains an issue," he said, point-ing out that the BC Liberals have put things in place to alleviate some of the problems associated with the highway, including the addition of a traf-fic analyst in Golden and a coroner in Revelstoke.

Childcare remains a principle issue for the 25-40 year-old demographic, Clovechok says, and healthcare is a pressing issue for all residents, as well as the economy.

"The economy is another big one. People need jobs, they need work, and we've got to continue to support that and promote investment," he said.

A 20 horsepower restriction on the Upper Co-lumbia River has been a hot topic for the region as of late, and Clovechok was willing to share his opinions on that issue as well.

While he didn't believe it was a pressing issue, saying that he doesn't believe many speedboats are travelling along the river, he does believe that they shouldn't be allowed on that portion of the waterway either.

"From my perspective, should jet skis and jet boats be going up and down the Columbia River? Absolutely not. They shouldn't be. But my biggest concern…is that we're again looking at restricting access to resources and I'm very cautious when it comes to that," he said.

Clovechok was officially announced as the BC Liberal candidate for this riding in Revelstoke on Saturday. Macdonald has yet to announce whether he will seek a fourth term in office and there is widespread speculation that he will be stepping down.

Doug Clovechok will again be Liberal candidate in provincial election.

Revamped Shelter Bay boat launch opened

The new boat launch at Shelter Bay Provincial Park was officially opened on Saturday.

BC Hydro completed work on upgrade to the park this spring — three weeks ahead of sched-ule. Representatives from BC Hydro, the BC Lib-eral government, Columbia Shuswap Regional District, and Revelstoke Rod & Gun Club were on hand for the ceremonial ribbon cutting.

"We are very pleased to meet our commitments to provide and improve boater access to Arrow Lakes Reservoir under our water licence and the Colum-bia River Water Use Plan,” stated Chris O’Riley, the deputy CEO of BC Hydro. “We would like to thank

communities and boaters for their support while the construction work was underway.”

BC Hydro announced plans to upgrade Shelter Bay last summer. The work involved repairing the boat launch, upgrading the water break, expand-ing the number of parking spaces to 32, re-design-ing the turnaround area, and replacing the walk-way with a floating one.

BC Hydro says the launch can support boats up to 9.3 metres long, 3.1 metres wide, with a one metre maximum draft and weighing four tonnes.

BC Hydro said this spring’s dry weather and low water levels allowed the construction team to fin-ish the work three weeks early. The project also came in at $1 million less than the $2.4 million budgeted.

Colin John Duddy

Colin was born to Margaret and George Duddy on June 23, 1945 in Victoria, B.C. He grew up living right on the ocean and enjoyed a happy childhood there as the youngest of three boys. Colin married his wife, Debbie on May 16, 1970. Their first child

was born in 1975. Colin and Debbie were blessed with four children: Nathan, Amanda, Matthew and Joshua. In 1984 they settled in Revelstoke, B.C. where Colin started working as a saw filer at Downie Timber. He continued there until his retirement in July of 2006.

In 2010 his first grandchild was born. Colin was blessed with four grandchildren: Maddox, Lanigan, Solan and Ferguson. For the last 10 years of his life, Colin fought a courageous battle with cancer. His battle ended in the evening on April 29, 2016 with his family around him. Left with many precious memories of Colin are his wife Debbie, his children Nathan (Youmi) Duddy, Amanda (Terry) Grimas, Matthew (Christa) Duddy, Joshua (Jessica) Duddy; his grandchildren: Maddox, Solan, Lanigan and Ferguson, as well as Colin’s brothers George and Paul Duddy.

The Duddy family would like to thank the nursing staff at the Queen Victoria Hospital in Revelstoke, the staff and pharmacists at Pharmasave, Dr. Leslie and all of the family and friends who supported them during the last weeks.

A Memorial Service was held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses on Saturday afternoon, May 7, 2016 with Terry Grimas the speaker.

Messages of sympathy may be sent to Colin’s family by viewing his obituary at
