REVIEW

There will be an election debate in Revel-stoke involving the candidates in the Octo-ber 19 federal election.

The debate, organized by a local media co-alition consisting of The Review, The Current and The Mountaineer, along with EZ Rock and Stoke FM, will be held at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre on Monday, Sep-

tember 21, starting at 7 p.m. Former mayor Geoff Battersby will moderate the event.

Candidates will have the opportunity to make opening and closing statements and answer questions provided in advance to the media sponsors. While all candidates will know what the general areas of discus-sion will be, none of them will see the ques-tions in advance. There will be no questions from the floor. The reason is this will allow

us to ask the most relevant questions, and prevent the debate from being hijacked by partisan interest.

All members of the pubic are invited to send questions to the media sponsors:

— [email protected];— [email protected];— [email protected];— [email protected]; and— [email protected].

The candidates are Conservative David Wilks, New Democrat Wayne Stetski, Lib-eral Don Johnston, the Green party’s Bill Green, and Libertarian Christina Yahn.

We have invited the candidates to arrive at the theatre early, at 6 p.m., in order to have an informal meet-and-greet with the public prior to the debate. We are still wait-ing their confirmation to participate in that part of the evening.

Revelstoke is home to many a fantas-tic hiking trails, from lower altitude forest trails to the high alpine scrambling. Revy Outdoors store manager Maryjoy Marshall shares some sound advice for those looking

to spend time this autumn in the great out-doors.

“First thing I would recommend sounds pretty basic but is really important," says Marshall. “Wear the right base next to the body layer.”

The goal is to find something comfort-able that wicks away moisture. A favourite

for many is a merino wool. “Though there are other alternatives, one is a brand called Kinisi that uses something called active cot-ton. This is a really viable alternative and has been awarded a top innovation in fabric development, and it’s made here in Cana-da,” Marshall explains.

The next thing to consider, Marshall sug-

gests, is proper footwear. “It sounds ba-sic, but regardless of wearing an excellent brand, if they don’t fit your feet or the level of activity you’ll be doing, it is going to po-tentially ruin your day.”

Multi-day trip hiking shoes offer more support and are generally heavier with a more defined tread. If you’re a trail runner, like Marshall, something lightweight is key. “If I’m doing short distances, I love the Five Finger Toes runners,” says Marshall. “If I was doing longer distances, I’d be after a runner with a higher level of support.”

Knowing how to layer, especially as the weather cools, is important. “A basic begin-ner recommendation in the autumn is a base layer, an insulating layer and a protec-tive shell,” explains Marshall.

Learning how to pack properly and effi-ciently is important. Additionally, take the time to measure your back and purchase a pack that fits you.

“Packs are available to people with long backs, short backs, wide backs, you name it,” says Marshall. “If you purchase a pack made for someone with a long back and you have a short one, it may never be comfort-able to carry.”

Additionally, a poorly packed bag adds unnecessary discomfort.

Finally, Marshall emphasizes the use of common sense.

“No matter how much time you spend outdoors, or if you are going to a place you know really well, don’t feel you can skip bringing hydration or a first aid and emer-gency kit,” says Marshall. “No matter what your level of experience and skill, weather, accidents and animals can surprise you. Ev-ery first aid kit should have a blister pack tossed in. Every emergency kit should have a whistle, matches, and an emergency blan-ket.”

Marshall encourages people to ask ques-tions.

“There is nothing wrong with learning and expanding your knowledge before you get out there,” she says.

Everyone is welcome to come in to Revy Outdoors with their questions. “From pack-ing a bag to figuring out what kind of gear you want to bring,” Marshall says. “We are here to help.”

About 40% of Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. If you could lower your risk would you do it? When the link between smoking and lung cancer was made public in the 1960’s, deaths from the disease dropped significantly. So stopping smoking is the right thing to do. Other ways you can reduce your cancer risk is to exercise daily (at least 30 minutes), eat less red meat (2x weekly, max) and keep your weight in check.

It is well-known that losing weight can also decrease your risk of

diabetes. The weight-loss doesn’t have to be a lot. Just a 5-10% drop in your weight can decrease your blood pressure and cholesterol. It can also improve your body’s ability to utilize insulin and reduce glucose tolerance. Losing weight can help you live a longer, quality life.

Speaking of diabetes, the internet often targets diabetics to “cure” their diabetes quickly by purchasing liver detox kits and special herbal remedies. Be very wary of these. Depend on your doctor and pharmacist to guide

you on the right path to treat your diabetes.

September 9 is Fetal Alcohol Awareness Day in Canada. The purpose is to highlight the fact that there is no safe amount of alcohol to consume during pregnancy. The baby’s brain is very sensitive to alcohol while it’s developing. So the best and safest rule is to drink no alcohol at all during pregnancy.

Knowledgeable, approachable, dependable... our pharmacists are all this and more.

1I believe that an MP's primary role is to listen to the con-

stituents in their riding and bring those issues to parliament. In-stead of telling everyone what I believe to be the greatest issue or need is, I want to hear from the people living and dealing with the issues and the needs that directly effect them. There will be a va-riety of answers to this question to reflect the myriad of issues in this riding. Although I will offer my perspective on a primary issue below, it is my belief that if elected it would be my duty to act as an ex-tension of the peoples' voice.

My personal primary issue is food security. In 2014, a feasibility study revealed that the West Koo-tenays alone were listed as import-ing 95 per cent of their food and spending $224 million annually on consumption. Would not our local economy benefit if a larg-er portion of that money support-ed our local food producers?

Of that 95 per cent, a good ma-jority is imported from California, where droughts, fires and decline of honeybee population affects pollination of major crops, and leaves our area vulnerable in terms of food security.

We can avoid food shortages and price inflations through localiz-ing food and buying local initiatives.

1 The main priorities for me in Kootenay-Columbia will con-

tinue to be infrastructure for both municipal and regional govern-ments, and improvements to the Trans-Canada Highway. The Build Canada Fund, a $53 billion invest-ment over 10 years, will provide communities with the ability to work on infrastructure priorities. This year funding was approved for Nakusp, Revelstoke, Golden, Fernie, RDEK Area "A" and Cres-ton.

I will continue to ensure that funding for the Trans-Canada Highway is constant and con-sistent, building on the nearly $300 million of improvements since 2011. This includes projects at Clan William Bridge, Donald Bridge twinning, and improve-ments throughout the national parks.

2 Through referendum, citizens in the Provinces of Ontario,

B.C. and PEI have rejected pro-portional representation and have voted to keep the "first past the post" system. The Conservative Party supports the current system of "first past the post.”

1 The most important issue in Kootenay-Columbia is creating

a thriving economy in a healthy environment. We need more local jobs that provide family-support-ing incomes, especially for young people.

Fostering small business and renewable energy, strengthening our agriculture sector, supporting sustainable forestry, responsible mining and tourism are essential for our long-term prosperity.

Investment in clean technology has been called the greatest busi-ness opportunity of this century. The Green Party will establish a Green Venture Capital Fund to aid small business start-ups and will reduce the corporate tax rate on small business.

Green Party policy supports community economic develop-ment with taxation and incen-tive programs aimed at municipal infrastructure renewal, energy-efficient home construction and renovation, and clean energy.

Many of the building blocks are already in place here. Given the opportunity, the people of Koo-tenay-Columbia have the ingenu-ity, initiative, smarts and skills to build a resilient, diversified low-carbon economy.

GREEN

1 The biggest issue or need in this riding is the need for

strong representation in Ottawa and the need to begin working together as a region on the issues that affect rural regions.

Close to 80 per cent of Canadians live in urban communities and ru-ral issues are not highly visible on the national agenda. We need to have an MP who understands those issues and who can work across sec-tors and regions within the riding to begin to raise the profile of those issues and to build a new approach to working together.

We need to remember that the primary responsibility of a Mem-ber of Parliament is to represent the riding in Ottawa. We need an MP who understands that, who has the skills and experience to do that effectively and who will be ac-countable to voters in the riding. I will hold annual accountability meetings in every community in the riding.

2 As part of a national engage-ment process, we will ensure

that electoral reform measures such as ranked ballots, propor-tional representation, mandatory voting, and online voting are fully and fairly considered by a special all-party parliamentary commit-tee.

1 From a democratic standpoint, the biggest issue in Kootenay-

Columbia is electing a Member of Parliament who will be a strong voice for the people of this area, who will deal with your issues in a respectful and timely way, and to have a government that shares your values.

I have spent my entire working life in public service. I understand your values, your daily challenges, and how government choices can have a significant impact on your lives.

My priorities are to help create jobs and to support families with a $15 per day, per child childcare program. I am committed to en-suring that universal health care continues, improving income for seniors, and treating our veterans with respect.

In order to accomplish this we need to elect a new government; a government committed to putting you first. In this riding, the NDP is the only choice to stop Stephen Harper and his reckless agenda for Canada.

tion. I am committed to making this election the last election to use the first-past-the-post voting system. No longer will a party with

2 Proportional representation is a Green Party priority. Green MPs will begin work immedi-

ately to legislate the end of first-past-the-post vot-ing by establishing an all-party Democratic Voting Commission that will: (1) review past research, (2) conduct a public consultation on the style of pro-

portional representation best suited to Canada, and (3) make recommendations to Parliament, in-cluding draft legislation, within 12 months. Elec-toral reform is of critical importance if we want to reinvigorate our democracy. A Green government will further strengthen our democracy by reducing the power of the Prime Minister’s Office, and will never force its MPs to vote on party lines.

Within 18 months of forming government we will bring forward legislation to enact electoral reform.

Our plan for a fair and open government moves far beyond electoral reform to include democratic parliamentary committees, free votes, strength-ening Elections Canada, an independent Senate, and voter training for high school students. It is

a sweeping agenda for real change that better re-flects the values of Canadians.

Unfortunately this government’s lack of re-spect for parliament is matched by a lack of re-spect for MP’s. Millions of Canadians thought they elected people to be their communities’ voice in Ottawa, then watched those same people become Stephen Harper’s voice in their commu-nities. That is something I can change right here.

only 38% of the vote be able to form a majority, and, as a result, act with no regard for the 62 per cent who did not vote for them.

Bringing in proportional representation will re-sult in a more diverse and representative parlia-ment, and it will ensure that every vote counts. In this election, voters are having to consider voting

strategically to ensure that Stephen Harper does not form another majority.

This is why I’m asking voters in Kootenay-Co-lumbia to vote together for the NDP to stop Ste-phen Harper. My promise to traditional Green and Liberal voters in this area is that once the NDP brings in proportional representation you will never have to vote strategically again.

Wayne Stetski, from previous page

2 The Libertarian party leader Tim Moen en-dorces proportional representation being

implemented in the Canadian electoral system. He encourages candidates to educate themselves on the variety of PR options available and align ourselves with voting on the system that best supports our individual views.

We would create a special joint standing com-mitte equally formed of MPs and Senators to ex-amine reform options for the House of Commons elections and Senate appointments. The Liber-tarian party would introduce and vote on a form of PR before the next elections were to be held. I personally believe fair election reform needs to be introduced as soon as possible to properly re-store democracy in Canada.

Everything seemed to be going well. A multi-million dol-lar deal that would have seen Citrus Capital take over op-erations of the Revelstoke Golf Club seemed imminent to all sides.

Which is why it's sudden collapse following a meeting late last month has come as such a shock.

The deal between the city and Citrus Capital fell apart in minutes during a meeting between Larry Shelley of Citrus Capital, and Allan Chabot, the new Chief Administrative Officer for the City of Revelstoke. What has emerged is a he-said, she-said story, with city officials left confused, and Shelley left angry at his perceived treatment.

“I'm a little bit surprised, a little bit shocked, a lot disap-pointed," said Mayor Mark McKee after the deal collapsed.

Citrus Capital approached the city in the spring about taking over the golf course. At a public meeting at the com-munity centre, Shelley said his company was seeking to "en-ter into a lease agreement with the city that would define the way in which the golf course would operate going for-ward in a way that's constructive to the citizens of this city."

Months of negotiations followed. Without a CAO in place, they were mostly led by McKee and Alan Mason, the city's director of economic development.

On Friday, Aug. 28, Shelley was invited to a meeting with Mason, Chabot and Dawn Levesque, the city's corporate of-ficer.

He thought he would be presented with a next-to-final lease agreement. Instead, he was given a list of 21 items that needed to be addressed.

According to Chabot and McKee, the list contained items that Shelley was aware of, such as who was responsible for the clubhouse, site remediation and what obligations the city would have.

"I gave him a list that was intended to bring clarity to items that I understand had previously been discussed and canvassed with him, but needed a little more clarity on some of the key business terms," said Chabot. "We met with the intention of advancing the negotiation of the lease."

According to Shelley, the list amounted to a "21-point edict" that materially changed the terms of the lease.

"Things like changing the rent, the lease amount we

agreed to, terms of the lease, underlying liens and encum-brances — the list goes on and on," said Shelley.

The end result was Shelley walking away from the table, with no intention of going back. He said the new terms in-volved setting deadlines on investment, and if Citrus didn't meet those deadlines, the lease would cancelled. This lack of flexibility was the deal-breaker.

“This all comes down to the attitude of the CAO, pure and simple," said Shelley. "You have to invite new capital and you have to be creative in how you let that new capital invest itself in the community. You can't just stamp it with bureaucratic overlay and say this is the way it's going to be. It’s not the way it’s going to be."

Mayor McKee, who wasn't at the meeting, told the Re-view the list came from the city's lawyer, who advised the issues be addressed and more information received before moving forward.

“When a lawyer is saying these points have to be clarified and they’re important to the deal, it would be foolish from

a council perspective to disregard that," said McKee. "Our job is to protect the tax payer."

For Shelley, it came down to the way he was treated by the CAO. Immediately after seeing the list, he decided he didn't want to deal with Chabot going forward and there was no way to make a deal.

"He was asking us to invest money and remain at the beck and call of his office for the duration of the lease," he said.

City officials were shocked Shelley walked away from the deal after it seemed so close. McKee said he felt nothing in the list was a deal breaker, and all the issues could have been resolved through negotiations.

"I felt if we could have sat down with Larry for an hour we could have hammered all these issues out," he said. "As far as I was concerned, there were no show stoppers there."

At the same time, he said council needed to be sure the deal was in the best interest of the tax payers.

What exactly was in the deal is not known. The two par-ties were negotiating towards a 30-year lease that would have seen Citrus Capital invest about $7 million in the golf course. Shelley said the company had plans for other busi-ness investments in Revelstoke if the deal went through.

Now, that is all off the table and Shelley blames Chabot. “The problem that we've seen is if we're being treated this

way on what is largely a philanthropic project, if we have to bring other business opportunities to the table and work them through the CAO’s office with that attitude, it’s not worth it," Shelley said.

McKee said the city was moving forward by convening the golf course task force. He said they will look at some of the ideas presented by Citrus Capital and explore them going forward.

"We're learning from the vision that Citrus brought to the table, which I thought was pretty incredible," he said. "It’s given us some real food for thought about the future of the golf course."

He said his door is always open if Shelley wants to return to the table.

In an e-mail, Heather Duchman, the president of the Rev-elstoke Golf Club, said they were disappointed about the collapse of the agreement. "Having said this, the golf club will continue to move forward in a positive way in work-ing towards providing sustainable golf in Revelstoke," she wrote.

A Kootenay environmental group is calling for an indepen-dent review of the Revelstoke caribou maternity pen after five animals died earlier this summer, but the organization that runs the pen says a review has already begun.

One adult cow and four calves died in the pen being operated by Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild this year, prompting the Valhalla Wilderness Society to issue a press release Tuesday morning calling for the review. They also asked for a review of the pen near Chetwynd.

"The Valhalla Wilderness Society believes another review by academic scientists, not connected with the government or the projects in any way, should consider these questions: Why did the caribou die in the pens?Are the risks of maternity pen-ning too high? Were conditions in the pens appropriate?" the society wrote.

However, Kelsey Furk, the executive director of RCRW, says a review is already underway.

"We will be reviewing our husbandry protocols and taking all the measures required to learn from what happened this sum-mer," she said. "We're continuing trying to improve."

The Valhalla Wilderness Society release says the maternity pens add to the stress the caribou are already experiencing in the wild as the result of habitat destruction, snowmobiling and heli-skiing. This stress can affect the birth and survival of calves.

“With this knowledge, why are the B.C. government and cari-bou biologists increasing stress on caribou by chasing them with helicopters and netting them in the late stage of pregnancy?” said Anne Sherrod, a VWS spokesperson, in the news release.

The society criticizes RCRW for building the pen in the valley bottom, and not higher on the mountain where caribou normal-ly give birth. The pen was over-crowded, causing the animals to be frequently spooked, resulting in injury and one calf being trampled to death.

Furk said RCRW brought in Brian Macbeth, a wildlife biolo-gist and veteranarian to review conditions in the pen. They also had each calf brought in for a necropsy.

An adult and calf died first. "It wasn't totally clear what the cause was," said Furk. "The calf starved to death because the mother was in poor condition. Basically she just didn't have any fat reserves, but the pathologist couldn't figure out why she died."

Another calf died of infection, while a third was stepped on. The fourth calf died when it was abandoned by it's mother, who

had a wound on its back that became infected."Calf mortality in an operation like this isn't unexpected,"

said Furk. "The number that we had are higher than I would like, most certainly, but we immediately recognized we needed to have somebody come in and look at how we're doing."

Furk said they will be looking at ways to reduce stress on the caribou in the pen, whether that be by capturing fewer animals, or by increasing the size of the pen. Building a new pen higher up the mountain isn't financially feasible, she added.

The review will also look at environmental factors that might have caused the animals to be weaker at the time of capture.

"Anytime you handle wild animals there is an expectation there is some risk involved," said Furk. "We've spent lots of time trying to access the best information we have in order to de-crease those risks. We'll continue to do that. We'll look at all the options that are available to us."

The Valhalla Wilderness Society said the pen is a way of avoid-ing the real problem, which is dealing with habitat loss, noting that partners in the project include forestry, heli-skiing and snowmobiling operations.

“How can the public be sure that decisions are being made in the interest of the caribou, and not on behalf of economic in-terests wanting to avoid further habitat protection?” said Craig Pettitt, the executive director of the VWS. “We believe a truly independent panel of academic caribou biologists is needed.”

The maternity pen project started in 2014 when 10 female caribou and two 10-month old calves were captured. Nine more calves were born in the pen, but only two survived the winter.

This year, 18 female caribou and one calf were captured. In July, 17 adults and 11 calves were released from the pen.

Editor,Thank you for your article on the Valhalla

Wilderness Society's (VWS's) call for an expert review of maternal penning of caribou in B.C. (see page 6) VWS appreciates how transparent Rev-elstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild (RCRW) has been regarding its project, particularly with re-gards to the deaths in the pen this year.

Our concern comes from how critically endan-gered mountain caribou are. VWS calls on the B.C. and federal governments to fulfill their legal obligations towards protecting these endangered animals.

We doubt that killing predators or “protecting” caribou in pens will halt the decline of the cari-bou, because other factors are also at work in the decline.

The RCRW has publicly acknowledged on the CBC that high mortality of the caribou released from the pen in 2014 could have been due to unusual fluctuations in winter weather. This would have forced them to stay longer down low, in their early winter habitat. VWS believes this likely did happen.

But how would that have killed caribou? If the

lower elevation habitat is gone because of clear cuts and logging roads, the caribou can suffer hab-itat displacement, resulting in poor nutrition and energetic stress, as well as increased predation.

Predators may take some caribou, but most importantly, cows in poor condition by spring may abort their young, or calves may be stillborn, or small and weak. This could contribute to the population decline.

This would not be a good time to chase heav-ily pregnant cows with helicopters. After giving birth they have extra heavy energy demands be-cause they are providing milk to the calves.

Maternity penning and predator control are costing the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the efforts are being undermined by clear cuts, roads and motorized winter recreation that are still ongoing.

Wherever there are substantial tracts of old-growth forest in caribou habitat that are not yet protected, they should be preserved right away from any human encroachment, which will serve the caribou as well as other wildlife and flora.

Anne Sherrod,Valhalla Wilderness Society

Habitat protection, not pens, key for caribou survival

LETTER

I'm sure there's a lot of temptation to point fin-gers over the collapse of the golf course deal. On one side, you have a powerful corporate executive blaming a stiff bureaucracy. On the other, you have a city administration saying they were out to protect the tax payer.

On this, I'm going to side with the city. I don't know what was on the list of issues they presented to Larry Shelley of Citrus Capital at that fateful Friday meeting. Apparently the list was so awful, so impossible to work around, that Shelley felt forced to walk away from the table.

I wonder about that decision. By all accounts, negotiations had been going well up to that point. Both Shelley and Mayor Mark McKee had praise

for each other. They both spoke highly of the deal that was in the works.

That's why I don't get why he was so quick to walk away from the table. McKee wasn't present at that meeting, but if the two really had such a good working relationship, why didn't Shelley call him right away to talk about the unfolding situation? Months of work had gone into the lease negotia-tions by that point. Do you really give that up in 10 minutes?

Now, it's possible there were deal breakers in the list of conditions. Maybe they couldn't have been worked around and a deal wouldn't have hap-pened. But to not even try to work something out — that's on Mr. Shelley.

Now we can only hope the city learned a few things from the negotiations, and that those les-sons are used to help the golf course going forward.

City not to blame for collapse of golf course deal

Why is happiness important?For starters, it can make you healthier. It can also make

you more successful, lead to better relationships, increased tolerance, higher creativity and a longer life.

That's an impressive pedigree for a human emotion.Mark Holder, a professor of psychology at UBC Okana-

gan, was at Revelstoke Secondary School last Wednesday morning to give a talk on the science of happiness.

"Everything that comes out of my mouth is evidence-based," he told the gathering of teachers, administrators and various other people from the community.

Holder leads a research team at UBC Okanagan that fo-cuses on the science of happiness, particularly in children. His talk was highly polished, engaging and funny. It had the feeling of a TED talk; in fact, Holder has spoken at a Kelowna TEDx conference.

What's so great about being happy?First, happiness is linked to improvements in the immune

system. Happy people are less likely to get sick, they're less likely to pass on their illness, and they recover faster. "The results were explained by happy people showing physical changes in their immune system," Holder said.

Happy people have increased career success. Happy 19-year-olds have been shown to have better job success in the future.

Investing in so-called happy companies leads to better investment returns.

Happy people have better relationships. They have more friends and they're more likely to get married. They're more likely to show forgiveness and they're more tolerant of oth-ers. They're also more creative and are judged better by oth-ers. They're considered more competent and better looking.

They live longer, and when they die, "In one study, happy people were considered more likely to get through the gates of heaven," said Holder.

Those are pretty big selling points for happiness, and it's why having happy children is important.

"Its important to get rid of negatives. It's important to minimize and hopefully end bullying in schools, but just getting rid of bullying isn't good enough," said Holder.

"Helping children thrive is part of the equation."What else do we know about happiness?For one, it doesn't matter what your living conditions are.

A study on happiness was conducted on children in Canada, India and Zambia and the results were similar in each coun-try — children everywhere were mostly happy.

Income and happiness also show limited links. Winning the lottery will make you happier for a few months, but that's it. More money will make you happier if you're poor, but if you're family income is over $75,000, getting richer doesn't matter.

"The amount of happiness explained by income is less than one per cent," said Holder.

Spending money on experiences rather than "things" is important. While buying something will lead to a tempo-rary boost in happiness, enjoying experiences produces longer-lasting effects. As well, many small experiences improve happiness, rather than just several big experi-ences.

"We think it's the big things in our life that make us hap-py. It turns out it's the small things that really matter," said Holder. "It's the frequency of positive emotions that's most important to your happiness. It's not the intensity of them, it's the number of them."

How do you make yourself happier?Unfortunately for some, genetics contributes to 40-50

per cent of one's happiness. Since you can't choose your parents, that means you can impact 50–60 per cent of your happiness, said Holder.

You can do this by improving your social relationships. Married people tend to be happier and happy children have friends they see frequently. Even imaginary friends can contribute to happiness, said Holder.

"When we talk about how important social engagement and relationships are to happiness, we don't mean quantity, we mean quality," he said.

Holder recommends engaging in conversations with people, celebrating their successes, complimenting friends, volunteering, limiting online social networking, giving thanks, and setting goals you can then accomplish.

"Happy people have clear and more complex goals be-cause happy people, their goals involve others," said Holder. "Their goals involve the community."

The Transportation Safety Board is investigat-ing a collision between two CP Rail trains east of Revelstoke early Sunday morning.

The collision resulted in both trains derailing at the Beavermouth siding 50 kilometres west of Golden at around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 6.

It happened when an eastbound train collided with the westbound train while entering the sid-ing, said Chris Krepski, a spokesperson with the Transportation Safety Board.

Two head-end locomotives and one car on the eastbound train derailed, while one axle derailed on the westbound train. Nothing was spilled as a

result of the derailments.One train operator experienced minor injuries

as a result of the collision.How the collision occurred is the subject of the

investigation. Krepski said investigators will be looking at the locomotive recorder data, examin-ing the track and signal conditions and interview-ing people involved.

"We're in the information gathering stage and we will be doing a full investigation into this oc-currence," he said.

Krepski said it will take at least a year for the full investigative report to be published.

The TSB is also investigating a derailment that took place on the Stoney Creek Bridge in Glacier National Park in January.

Trains collide, derail near Golden

The Revelstoke RCMP are once again warn-ing people to lock their car doors after thefts occurred from several vehicles in Southside last Tuesday night.

RCMP say several vehicles on the 700 block between Fourth and Fifth Street east were either broken into or entered through unlocked doors between Tuesday, Sept. 1, at 9 p.m., and the fol-lowing morning.

The vehicles were ransacked and various items including cash, CDs and other valuables were sto-len.

A suspect has been arrested and is being ques-tioned by police.

The thefts have prompted yet another warn-

ing from the RCMP for people to lock their doors and secure their valuables either in the trunk or in their homes.

"It is strongly encouraged to keep valuables out of site from the temptation of car prowlers," said Cpl. Thomas Blakney in a news release.

This is an ongoing issue for the RCMP. A simi-lar warning was sent out the previous week when three thefts from motor vehicles, two break-and-enters and one bicycle theft occurred at various locations around town.

In 2013, RCMP conducted a walkaround where they placed tags on vehicles that were left un-locked. They found one in four vehicles were left unlocked on Revelstoke streets.

Police also ask people to report thefts to them, and not just on the Stoke List or other social me-dia.

REVELSTOKE REVIEW

The City of Revelstoke is asking the province impose four conditions on a proposed new gravel pit up Westside Road, including a study on the amount of crystalline silica the pit will produce and the potential public health impacts.

The conditions are recommended by Dean Stra-chan, the city's manager of development services, in a report to council.

They are in response to an application by Rev-elstoke Sand & Gravel to build a new gravel pit off Westside Road across the Columbia River from the Revelstoke Golf Club.

Revelstoke Sand & Gravel is being asked to have a registered professional biologist prepare a report on any "streams, water courses or other features requiring reporting to Federal and Provincial Agencies" before a city development permit is is-sued.

A second recommendation asks the province to impose four conditions on the gravel pit should it grant a land tenure to the applicant.

The first is to put in place a dust management plan that identifies sources of dust and methods of mitigation and control.

The second is to conduct a study that identifies the amount of crystalline silica that would be pro-duced, as well as mitigation measures to address any public health concerns.

The third condition is for a noise control plan. The fourth is to limit the hours of operation to 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday to Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

The requests follow a presentation by gravel pit opponent Stuart Andrews at the last meeting of council. He raised concerns about the health im-pacts of crystalline silica dust emanating from other gravel pits in the area, as well as noise issues.

The staff report is accompanied by a letter from Carl Rankin, the designated agent for Revelstoke Sand & Gravel, saying the pit will have far less im-pact than the neighbouring Interroute quarry.

The letter says the pit will see less use, will be developed in stages and that a tree buffer will miti-gate any dust concerns.

"It is our professional opinion that our proposed RSG operations would never present an external dust problem, and we do not require a dust mitiga-tion protocol," the letter states.

Council was set to discuss the staff recommen-dations on Tuesday, Sept. 8, after press time. Visit the Review website for more on this story.

Revelstoke Minor Hockey had all their players take baseline tests in order to help recovery if they ever experience a concussion during the course of play.

Cory Cameron, a Revelstoke native who is now the physiotherapist for the Kootenay Ice of the WHL, ap-proached minor hockey about conducting the tests, and the association jumped on board.

"I thought it was something very valuable for minor hockey," said Kevin Grimm, the president of the Rev-elstoke Minor Hockey Association. "Obviously we're concerned about our players health off the ice and on the ice. Most important, a lot of people don't know when you have a concussion and when you're better to play. That's something I'm always concerned with. When he explained what he could do, I was intrigued by that."

Cameron was in Revelstoke on Friday, when he conducted the tests on the minor hockey players of all ages. He was being helped by Fraser Sprigings of Helios Physiotherapy.

The players were being tested for things like bal-ance and memory to see where they stood mentally at the start of the season. That way, if they do experi-ence a concussion, they can be tested later to see how their results compare.

"We test them on baseline to make sure they're healthy now," said Cameron. "If they get injured dur-ing the season, they come back to do a follow-up exam. We'll compare that to their baseline data to see how severe their injury is, how off their balance is, how bad their memory may be, and we'll use those tools moving forward in their recovery to make sure they don't return to play too quickly."

During one part of the testing, two of seven kids said they had a concussion in the past. Cameron said

he expects at least 10 per cent of kids across minor hockey to have had one at some point. The higher prevalence is the result of increased awareness.

The test the kids were taking is called SCAT 3 — Sports Concussion Assessment Tool. It's a test used by the NHL, NFL, NBA, International Olym-pic Committee and other elite-level sports organi-zations.

"I really feel kids at this level need to be tested when they're young, because if they had concus-sions that are mis-managed when they're young, that's going to affect them when they get older," said Cameron.

The Revelstoke Grizzlies players also do baseline concussion testing through Helios. Sprigings said the test helps see how well a player is recovering.

Helios will let anyone take the test for free so they can have their own baseline. “We do it to pro-mote awareness of concussions," said Sprigings.

Kevin Grimm saw the problem first hand when his son Peter was concussed in his first year of Ban-tam. "I saw what he went through and how debili-tating it was and how long it took for him to come back," he said. "We worked with Fraser at Helios and did all the return-to-play protocol properly, but without having a baseline test done, we never really knew where he should be."

For Grimm, he hopes the testing will show to parents that minor hockey is taking steps to make the game as safe as possible in order to increase enrolment in the sport. "This program shows we're concerned, and although hockey is intrinsically dangerous, we can take steps to make it as safe as possible for the kids," he said.

Hopes high as Grizzlies season gets underway

The Revelstoke Grizzlies are hoping to keep on rolling when they kick off the regu-lar season this Friday against Sicamous.

The Grizzlies cruised through their five exhibition games, picking up four wins and a tie, and scoring 30 goals while giving up only eight in the process. Their only slight hiccup was a 3-3 tie against the Kamloops Storm last Wednesday.

"Honestly this is my most confident sea-son coming in after exhibition," said Kenny Batke, who is entering his third year with the team. "We were undefeated and the guys get along so well, you can definitely see it on the ice. I'm feeling really good about this year. I think we stand a good shot to go all the way."

The Grizzlies began last week with a 6-0 win over the North Okanagan Knights on Monday. They followed it up with a 3-3 tie in Kamloops. On the weekend, they won back-to-back games over Golden, winning 4-1 on Friday and 8-1 on Saturday.

Coach Ryan Parent is happy with what he's seen. "I think the guys are starting to buy into the structure that we want to ex-ecute with and we're going to have a good team this year," he said.

The Grizzlies will be a much more experi-ence team this year, with 12 returnees from

last year's squad that just missed the play-offs, though the full lineup was not avail-able as of press time.

Batke, a 20-year-old defenceman who is the only player remaining from the team that finished last overall two years ago, is expected to play a leadership role.

"He's probably the most in shape player in our league, not only in our team," said Parent. "He's kind of a beast this year… He plays the way we want our defencemen to play. He's steady and responsible defensive-ly first. When there is offence, he's able to chip in a little bit."

The Grizzlies will be backstopped by the trio of Brody Nelson, Michael Lenko and Keyon Bittner. Nelson, 20, was acquired from the Kimberley Dynamiters in the off-season, while Lenko shared duties in nets last year. Bittner, a local minor hockey product, will be battling them for a spot. No decision has been made on who will start on opening night, said Parent.

Batke will lead the defence. Other return-ees from last year who played exhibition games include Levi Morin, Kyle Baron, and Jackson Fulton. Michael Lenoury is one of the rookies mentioned by coach Parent.

Up front, local boys Louie Federico and Josh Pilon will be two key players in what Parent expects to be a balanced offence.

"Last year, it was Fiust and Chavez who did the most damage," said Parent. "This

year we might have six or seven guys who I think can bury."

Kaden Black, the grandson of former Grizzlies manager Larry Black, is on the team. "He's played almost every exhibition game and he's played extremely hard," said Parent.

Wyatt Gottschalk leads a contingent of American rookies recruited to the team this year. The 18-year-old was one of the stars of

training camp. Local Ullar Wiatzka has made the cut

and will be battling for a regular spot in the lineup. "He's doing everything I've asked of him," said Parent.

Batke said the presence of a number of veterans from last year's team will help.

"We were trying to find ourselves last year," he said. "Now it's like coming home again. Everyone's a lot more relaxed."

Bringing you back in time this fall during Revelstoke’s Heritage Weekend, the BC Inte-rior Forestry Museum has been planning a fun for all ages event filling your souls with good food, live music, and a taste of forestry history in Revelstoke.

Forestry festivities begin Friday, Sept. 11 starting at 5 p.m. up at the Forestry Museum located next to the Revelstoke Dam. All eve-ning there will be a live band to boogie to and the Big Eddy Burger cart will be cooking up tasty burgers while you enjoy our line up of exciting events.

The events are free and all are invited! We encourage becoming a Forestry Museum member to give you deals all weekend, like a free a burger from the cart Friday evening.

Starting at 5 p.m. is a kid’s loggers relay race for ages 6–12. The relay will consist of

a typical loggers day: putting on your plaid shirt, hauling chainsaws and chokers and getting home safe. First to complete the relay in each age category will win a prize.

Next up at 6 p.m., local horse loggers Dan Boltwood and Barry Ozero will show off their horses skills moving logs the old fashioned way. After the demonstrations, kids will have the opportunity to meet these hardworking horses and their masters.

At 7 p.m., get ready for a true demonstra-tion of old-timers skills put on by profession-al logger sport competitors coming from out of town. This will be a sneak preview of the full show they’ll be giving Saturday Sept. 12, in Centennial Park during Timber Day.

Last on the list of all things heritage for the evening, a few local old-time loggers will start up a couple of old saws they used back in the day. Not only are they loud, but the

This weekend, Revelstoke will celebrate our vibrant history and the industries that have sus-tained our community. 2015 marks 120 years of operation of the Revelstoke Chamber. Beginning as the Board of Trade in 1895 and becoming the Chamber of Commerce in 1962, there is a long history of business support, collaboration with all levels of government, and community advocacy.

Our community is blessed with a colorful his-tory and many restored heritage buildings. The 1986 heritage project brought a renewed splendor to many downtown businesses and the creation of Grizzly Plaza, the hub of our community. Our re-tail businesses have come and gone, but one busi-ness has remained somewhat unchanged since the inception — Malone’s Confectionary has been a mainstay on Mackenzie. The Lafreniere family purchased the business from the Malone family in the late 70’s. The Chamber is pleased to see David Lafreniere carry on the family retail tradition as the new proprietor of Peoples Drug Mart.

There are so many activities planned over the weekend and something for everyone. Get a head start on Friday at the Forestry Museum with an evening barbecue, live music, kids relay race, horse logging demo and antique chainsaw showoff. The Little Bear Soccer Tournament complements Sat-urday’s Timber Day competitions at Centennial Park. Downtown, come to the farmers market, and a fall sidewalk sale from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and get some great deals.

Bikefest is rolling throughout the weekend. Fri-day night is the Poker Run, Saturday's rides include the Mount Revelstoke Steamer up the Meadows in the Sky, and Sunday features the noon Show N Shine at The Village Idiot.

The Revelstoke Museum & Archives is hosting free antique appraisals by Peter Blundell on Fri-day evening from 7–9 p.m. and Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to noon.

Get your dancing shoes on Saturday night and head down to Grizzly Plaza for live music with Tiller’s Folly, or join Parks Canada for an Evening with the Stars on Mount Revelstoke at 7 p.m. Sun-day is Railway Day at the Museum starting at 10 a.m. Join in the celebration of 130 years since the driving of the Last Spike and enjoy our vast rail-way museum collection. The Revelstoke Golf Club is hosting a community day at the club starting at 9 a.m. on Sunday.

For a full weekend events schedule visit seerev-elstoke.com/event/Revelstoke-heritage-weekend.

sheer size of these machines will impress you.If you cannot make it to this fine evening of fun

on Friday, we’ll be keeping bellies full Saturday morning at Chubby Funsters as they make an all you can eat loggers pancake breakfast, again giv-ing a kind discount to our faithful museum mem-bers. Once you’ve stored all the logger energy possible in carb matter, make your way down to Centennial Park for Timber Day to burn it all off.

Timber Day event staff are encouraging pre-registration and you can do that too up at the Forestry Museum any time during our hours of operation before September 12. Plus, guess what? If you’re a member you can get $5 off the registra-tion fee.
