Red Mtn. coups two major awardsExposure for Red Mountain

Resort has nothing to do with extreme elements these days.

Rossland’s resort has enjoyed numerous accolades and media attention in the last few years and it has continued to snowball, with the resort earning two major awards in London last week.

Red was named the most improved North American resort and the best up and com-ing resort in the World Snow Awards held in London on Nov. 1. Red was the only ski resort to win multiple awards.

“We had a hunch we stood a

chance in most improved and up and coming but, even still, when it happened that was fan-tastic,” said Red vice-president of business development, Erik Kalacis.

“No question, we were real-ly honoured to be selected and it’s going to be great for turning more U.K. skiers on to Red.

Honouring the best in the world of skiing and snow-boarding the awards reward resorts, companies, equipment and individuals in 22 catego-ries. The winners were chosen from a shortlist by a panel of leading ski and snowboard experts and by public vote.

The awards will help Red extend the lure of the hill to

other parts of the globe, some-thing that has been a goal of management for some time, Kalacis explained.

Towards that end, Red has embarked on a more compre-hensive sales and marketing approach this year, trying to capitalize on the exposure the hill has received, as well as the buzz created by the addition of the Grey Mountain chair lift—opening up a further 997 acres.

“We have something that is unique, something that skiers desire. We are not commercial-ized, gentrified ski experience, we are the real thing and we are having fun with it,” said Kalacis.

It took five days, three venues, eight board members, 18 sponsors and countless volunteers to bring 20 films to the 14th annual Teck Rossland Mountain Film Festival this weekend.

And for the hundreds of people who attended the events, there was something for everyone—from the heart-pounding adrenaline rush to thoughtful, social commentary—as mountain culture from all seven continents around the globe was brought to Rossland through the camera lens.

According to Tarn Medinski, Rossland Mountain Film Festival board member and film organizer for the past three years, the festival used most of the films submitted to the festival and included all Kootenay-based productions (unless there were issues with formatting).

“This year there were films sub-mitted by filmmakers from France, Germany, and Australia, which is a bit unusual,” said Medinski.

And probably also a sign the Rossland Mountain Film Festival continues to gain momentum, he added.

“The biggest difficulty is group-ing the films and deciding what order to present them in so we keep everyone’s interest,” said Medisnski.

Additional events were also incorporated into the film lineup. The Teck Mountain Gala on Friday night featured a cocktail reception, silent auction of work by local artists with proceeds going to the food bank, and music by Brad MacKay.

The sold out Nelson and District Credit Union Saturday Mountain Film Party ended with an electronic combination of DJ sets and visuals by the Funk Hunters who played a mix of music that drove everyone to the dance floor (some for longer than they intended).

But the movies really did steal the show. The weekend’s REEL Youth Film Festival whet the appe-tite for the U19 Film Festival which will be welcomed back into town next spring by the Rossland Council for Arts and Culture.

Ski films had viewers begging for more of the white stuff to fall on the local mountains and films like Not so Bad gave Rosslanders something to look forward to when the snow is gone and the bikes come out again.

Crossing the Ice, the Banff Mountain Film Festival people’s choice, showed great examples of courage, endurance and friendship that came with a warning to the audience at the family matinee: “It also contains bloody blisters, vomit-ing, and crying—due to exhaus-tion.”

Sunday’s event dug even deeper

with the feature film Gold Fever, which documented the conflict between Goldcorp’s Marlin Mine in the Guatemalan village of San Miguel and the local people who have lost access to land and clean water in the pursuit of gold.

After the viewing, Jennifer Nielson—a fourth year registered nurse student at Selkirk College who did her practicum in Guatemala last spring with nine other stu-dents—and her instructor Mary Anne Morris answered questions from the audience, along with Tim Lapointe who stepped in with his gold mining experience.

Board member Brian Coulter arranged to have Gold Fever includ-ed in the festival after seeing it in Nelson.

Partnering with Nielson, who meet several of the brave, local women featured in the film, Coulter brought something different to the festival this year by offering a forum for discussion, rather than a ques-tion-and-answer period with a film-maker or professional athlete.

For the organizers of the Rossland Mountain Film Festival, it’s all about mixing it up while at the same time sticking to the formula that’s lead to success for the past 14 years—and adding to the numbers as they pre-pare to bring mountain culture from around the world back to Rossland again next year.

Proving that good things come in small (and short) packages, this year’s Aaron Allibone People’s Choice Award went to Nelson filmmaker Kari Medig’s The Fence. The film proved that the only thing required to become part of our great global ski community is a love for sliding downhill on two wobbly planks, and a bit of courage.

The Teck Mountain Gala’s silent art auction raised $260 for the Rossland Food Bank. Donations at Saturday’s Family Matinee also provided non-per-ishable items to the community charity partner.

upcoming workshopFORRS would like to remind the com-

munity that the soft deadline for a work-able use plan is due November 2014.

The document will be a use and man-agement plan that outlines the future and the stewardship of the Rossland Range.

The success of the bid for Recreation Area status hinges on community sup-port, and the acceptance of this document by the Ministry of Forests.

As it is still in its drafting stage, FORRS would like to invite the commu-nity to a second workshop Dec. 3, 7 p.m. at the Miner’s Union Hall.

A hut by any other name ...Is the issue of hut use threatening to

derail the FORRS bid for a Rossland Range Recretion Area?

There is little doubt that the future of the “trespass huts” around Nancy Green Summit was the pre-eminent issue at last month’s Recreation Area Workshop, with participants providing a list of rea-sons why they were a vital aspect of the proposed plan.

The huts provide a destination for a ski or snowshoe outing; a place to warm up, dry out your gloves over the stove, have a snack, and socialize with strang-ers as they pile in out of the cold. They also provide safety, as emergency shel-ters, or mustering points for search and rescue personnel.

The history, quaintness, and intrinsic charm of the huts were also mentioned several times in the workshop, with area residents feeling a proprietary fondness for many of them. Those con-sidered favourites by the participants include: Sunspot, Mosquito, Red Dog, View, Cookie Jar and Eagle’s Nest. Rock n Roll, Crowe’s Nest, Surprise and Berry Ridge came in as “second tier” consider-ations.

One prevalent misunderstanding about the hut situation seems to be the

ida koricRossland News

Les Carter photoThe recreation site designation would preserve the ski huts locally built years ago by Booty Griffiths, for the community to ski up

to and enjoy the backcountry. At one time the Ministry of Forests was going to tear the original cabin down but the community pro-tested. The province relented and said the community could keep the cabin as long as it was for public use and the name “Booty’s Cabin” was dropped.

So, to get even, Booty and his friends went out and built more cabins, said FORRS member Les Carter. “Those became, just like the Rossland Range, an attractive feature for the public and everyone goes there and skis,” he said.

The issue of hut use in Rossland Range a hot topic of debate at recent FORRS-led workshop

cause-effect relationship between Recreation Area designation and the removal of trespass huts. The Ministry of Forests has been planning a province-wide sweep and dismantling of non-authorized huts on Crown land for several years, with the mobilization of these removals imminent.

A Recreation Area designation will allow, at this point, five huts to stand as authorized, as opposed to the zero huts that would have attained such protec-tion otherwise.

FORRS representatives worried that the misinformation that the new desig-nation is responsible for hut removal will lead to the community’s rejection of the plan. Community support is essen-tial for this decades-long initiative to move forward.

A reduction in the number of huts posed a number of concerns for work-shop attendees. The current crowding in huts during peak times is already an issue for some; far fewer huts would only result in increased concentrations of users.

One likelihood seems to be that, were five huts to remain, their size, location and infrastructure would have to be altered.

The request to “grandfather” several additional huts, as well as a time exten-sion for hut removal, were both includ-ed in workshop commentary.

Aside from hut salvation, other accessibility concerns were raised as well. Community members hope that with official management of the Range will come improvements to the safety and space of the parking area at the summit, a non-motorized use designa-tion, re-design of several outhouses, and potentially better communication capacities (cell phone use for emergen-cies).

There is also the anticipation that forestry companies will work more closely with community agencies to lessen their impact on recreational opportunities.

Council’s early work on dissecting the fiscal budget should be com-mended. Not only has the current

version of council held the line on municipal property taxes assessed by the city for the last six years, it has now begun the process of crafting a more thorough budget than ever before.

Pulling apart department budgets likely won’t mean outright fiscal belt tightening, or the slashing of services, but instead it will reveal a prioritization of the way council spends taxpayer money, and possibly recognize where big dollars are going toward lower pri-ority items.

It’s a bold move, since the inner workings of the city will be laid bare in public meetings, and an expected debate should ensue on what a munici-pal government should be funding, and to what tune.

The process of budget building now, which normally begins in late winter, will help council reallocate the dollars it does receive in taxation. It may not nec-essarily lower taxes in the city, but it could again keep them at zero, or below zero. And being below or at zero in a community that lives for sub zero tem-peratures is a good thing.

Ford needs to be applauded not villified for actions

You have to love Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. What a guy!

Here is a man who relishes adversity. A simple man with a simple message: Less gov-ernment, lower taxes.

Is he overweight and usu-ally dishevelled? Yes. Does he care? No. Appearances mean nothing to him. He is the perfect example of Everyman. Are we not in fact all a little dishevelled and overweight?

Does he have substance abuse problems? Who

Second Opinion

JIM HOlTZ

knows? His brother says no and who would know better than his own brother? Has he shown up under the influ-ence of intoxicating substanc-es at public affairs? Apparently, but haven’t we all been drunk in public and made fools of ourselves on certain occasions?

Pictures have appeared showing the good mayor in the presence of alleged crimi-nals and drug dealers, pic-tures in which he appears happy, even celebratory. But who hasn’t been caught in the embrace of cocaine deal-ers by some weasely photog-rapher out to persecute us? Aren’t we all just folks? Shouldn’t we all be allowed to have fun with friends of our choosing?

Mayor Ford has been filmed shouting at reporters, screaming and threatening them. He even told Marg Delahunty (comedienne Mary Walsh), Princess Warrior, on This Hour Has 22 Minutes that he was calling 911 if she didn’t quit asking questions and leave him alone.

But who hasn’t used Emergency Response to rid ourselves of pesky, predatory paparazzi? Using police, fire-men and first responders to harass them is fitting retribu-tion for the incessant infringement of our privacy that they inflict on us.

Rob Ford has vowed never to resign but to contin-ue to serve the city as he was elected to do, collecting his

paycheque and delivering to the citizens of Toronto the kind of government they deserve, a government con-cerned solely with delivering bang for the buck, value for the dollar, accountability for every dime.

For this he should be applauded not vilified. For too long we have been overly concerned with those things that have nothing to do with our tax dollars: morality, honour, respect, legality.

Ford, if he continues to serve and, better yet, is re-elected, will no doubt ensure that those concerns never trouble anyone at city hall again. Who could possibly disagree with that?

There’s an old saying that goes: ‘Charity begins at home,’ and while it could be convincing-ly stated that the world is our home, some folks look to the more local venues to support with their donation dollars.

This sort of caring donor may not be aware of the large differ-ence Timmy’s Christmas Telethon has made in the lives of West Kootenay families. The 26th ver-sion of the telethon is coming up on Dec. 8 and donations are as simple to make as a phone call.

Joanne Baker is an energetic member of the Selkirk Lions Club, affiliated with the BC Lions Society Easter Seal Services—stagers of the telethon along with Shaw Communications. Black Press, incidentally, is also a spon-sor. Baker said the number of kids in the region who have been helped out by the Easter Seals programs for Children with Disabilities is growing.

The number of bed-nights spent by kids from Rossland at the Society’s Vancouver facility in 2012 was 54. That is less than Castlegar (306), Fruitvale (222), Grand Forks (30); Montrose (24), Nelson (283), Trail (273), Slocan (191) and Winlaw (10).

Called Weiner Take All, the new establishment is seeking a liquor licence to begin operation at the base of the new Gray Mountain ski runs for the upcoming season.

Council reviewed the application for the facility and councilor Kathy Moore saw its approval as adding to downhill ski on Red Mountain.

She said there have not been a lot of update from Red on its activities.

“Because it is our water-shed and it is a delicate area … they have an envi-ronmentalist on the proj-ect,” said Moore.

In order to approve a food primary (restaurant) licence application, the Liquor Control and Licensing branch (LCLB) requires a resolution from the local government com-menting on the application.

The area is currently zoned M-Al—mountain activity area. Eating and drinking establishments are a permitted use in the zone.

Council considered the Red Mountain Resort Weiner Take All liquor license food primary (res-taurant) licence application in respect to the potential for noise, impact on the community, views of resi-dents and whether the late hours or patron-participa-tion entertainment may result in the restaurant being operated in a manner this is contrary to its pri-mary purpose.

A city staff report dated Nov. 7 recommended that the application be approved.

“The location and oper-ating hours of the estab-lishment gives little con-cern for potential for increased noise and impact on the community. Location of the establishment pre-cludes any concerns of resi-dents (see attached map) therefore, advertisement to seek the views of residents is not necessary in respect to this application.

Red Mountain Resort’s Weiner Take All is applying to the province’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch for a license to operate a small food and beverage service at the base of their new ski lift.

Hours of operation will be 10 a.m.-4 p.m. daily dur-ing the ski season.

“It seems like a lot of ski-ers around the world are looking for the ski experience that we offer.”

Bookings for the coming season are very strong and group bookings have gone “through the roof.” Group bookings have doubled at the hill, said Kalacis, and lodging bookings are shap-ing up to having its best sea-

son on record for the city and Red.

“Obviously the real attrac-tion is the fact we have eight more intermediate runs on Grey,” he said. “Now we are offering a product that appeals to the full spectrum of skiers.”Sport a three-pack

Kalacis said the best way to experience the hill expan-

sion is through the three-pack, sort of a mini season pass.

Red’s Big Deal 3-Pack is a pass for three days of skiing (can be non-consecutive), with no black-out dates.

The Big Deal pass must be purchased by Dec. 20, with a limit of three per person. Adults pay $149, while youth passes are $120, juniors are

$75, and senior passes are priced at $97. Applications are available at the customer service desk at Red Resort.

“It’s the best deal for any-one wanting to ski Red for three days.

This is something we are optimistic the local markets will embrace,” said Kalacis. “This is the best way to expe-rience what is new at Red.”

With the 2014 municipal elections exactly a year from today, the region’s mayors have begun contemplating a bid at re-election.

Locally, there is one confirmed “yes” and five definite “maybes” to the question, “Will you run again?”

When Nov. 15, 2014 rolls around, Greg Granstrom, will have served two full terms as Mayor of Rossland, and one year as acting mayor.

For now, the decision for Granstrom to seek re-election in the Golden City is not certain, but will lie in the hands of his family.

“When the time gets closer I will sit down with the family and have a discussion,” he said. “Without support from them this would be a really hard job to continue.”

After a decade on Trail council and almost 17 years as mayor, Dieter Bogs is seriously con-sidering calling it a day.

“I am considering retiring,” said the mayor. “But it is early to say,” he continued. “I’ve worked hard all these years so the most impor-tant thing is that the city is left in good hands.”

Bogs has held the position steady since a 2001 by-election, twice by electoral votes and twice by acclamation.

The recent decision to increase mayoral elec-toral terms to four years (from the current three-year term) at the province’s annual meet-ing of the mayors in Vancouver, has Warfield Mayor Bert Crockett contemplating whether to run a fifth time.

Since the 2011 civic election, Beaver Valley communities have made great strides in terms of infrastructure improvements and community programs, which has both mayors considering a second term.

“My intention is to run again next year,” confirmed Fruitvale Mayor Patricia Cecchini. “I have learned so much and started a lot of proj-ects that I would like to see through.”

Joe Danchuk said it was too early to say.— Trail Times

IN BRIEFLocal mayors weigh the options

The B.C. government has announced the first money-saving moves in its “core review” of provincial functions, eliminating the Crown agency that buy offsets for government carbon emissions. The function of the Pacific Carbon Trust will continue, but will be run directly by government ministries, Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced Tuesday.

Bennett, minister in charge of the core review, said winding up the Pacific Carbon Trust is expected to save $5.6 million annually by 2015. The CEO and 13 staff are to be offered other positions in government and Bennett said he does not expect severance to be paid.

Post-secondary schools and health authori-ties will continue to pay millions to offset their fossil fuel use, and the money will go to indus-trial, forest and other projects deemed to reduce carbon emissions. Bennett said the government intends to adapt the program as has been done with public school offsets, so hospitals and uni-versities can invest in their own efforts.

Core review folds carbon trust

Another hat has hit the ring in the new South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding, coming from the Conservative side of the fence.

With barely three years of politics under her belt, Penticton city councillor Helena Konanz announced Nov. 14 that she would seek the nomination for the Conservative Party of Canada in the new riding.

She says she was encour-aged by many people to pursue the nomination when Dan Albas made the decision to represent the Conservatives in the new riding of Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola in the next federal election.

“I offer a fresh approach, and fresh face, to both the local Conservative

members and the constituents of the new electoral district of South Okanagan-West Kootenay,” said Konanz.

After graduating from UCLA with a political science degree, Konanz toured as a professional tennis player. After

retiring from professional sports, Konanz worked in retail management in the U.S. until moving to the Okanagan 20 years ago with her husband and entering the small busi-ness sector.

The new riding of South Okanagan-West Kootenay encompasses the entire Regional District of Kootenay

Boundary, as well as Castlegar, New Denver, Silverton, Slocan, and Nakusp, and stretches into parts of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen including Penticton, Oliver and Osoyoos.

The Southern Interior has been re-districted numerous times in the past, at times being branded Kootenay West-Revelstoke, Kooetnay-Boundary-Okanagan, and British Columbia Southern Interior.

The region has been an NDP strong-hold for much of its history, other than the period from 1993 to 2006 when Jim Gouk held the MP’s seat for the Reform Party, the Canadian Reform Alliance Party, and then the Conservatives, but Konanz said she can swing the new riding to the political right again in the next election.

“It’s going to take somebody with a lot of energy and the time to spend with people,” Konanz told the Trail Times. “I’m going to have to listen to all the things people in this area are con-cerned about and look for the similari-ties. I’ll be out there to get feedback from the people.”

Penticton councilor to let name stand in riding

A new name for the Rossland Historical Museum has been chosen.

The museum will now be called the Rossland Museum and Discovery Centre, said city councilor Tim Thatcher, the city’s liaison to the museum advisory commit-tee.

“And the new tag line will be ‘metals, mountains and memories,’” he said.

The rest of the Gateway plan for the newly named museum will be revealed on Thursday, Nov. 28 when the museum will host its annual general meeting at the Prestige Mountain Resort (7 p.m.).

That is the same day the museum’s consultant, Don Luxton of Vancouver, will make his presentation of the final Gateway report on the redesign of the museum.

Once it is fully realized, the redesign could cost a total of $3 million—less than half the cost of a complete rebuild—with the entire re-design broken down into modules, so the entire vision could be achieved in stages as the money becomes avail-able.

The new design could open up the interior, creat-ing a larger entrance gallery and add in a full glass, well-lit atrium to welcome peo-ple into the museum.

It could include sections on geology, power, commu-

nity history (including ski-ing and mountain biking) and the history of mining. The current ski shed section of the museum could be demolished and the ski arti-facts brought into the body of the museum.

As well, the outside arti-facts could be housed in an industrial shed—built in a style evoked by the time period—with level access and siting to create an out-door stage for events and classes. The shed could help tie together the exterior arti-facts and create and secure the assets as well.

Space for research could be created, as well as cen-tralizing storage and maxi-mizing and rotating the exhibits on display.

The exterior could also reflect the mining history, with metal cladding—pos-sibly zinc—adorning the exterior in a decorative way.

Signage outside of the museum and within the city would also be improved, helping direct people to the museum.

The next step for the museum advisory commit-tee will be to figure out a funding formula, based on a combination of grants, cor-porate sponsorship and partnerships with senior levels of government.

The committee is also examining the feasibility of putting in some “pop up” displays in empty store fronts for the winter season, to increase its visibility.

Red and Tourism Rossland worked hard and people in the community responded again, and Kalacis said they were proud of everything accom-plished.

Last year Red was paired with Whitewater Ski Resort to win the first ever tournament put on by Powder Magazine to find the most popular ski destination on the continent.

The West Kootenay Coalition to Stop Smart Meters held an educational meeting held in the Trail Memorial Centre Nov. 7. Anticipating a large turnout, the venue was changed to Trail from Montrose a few weeks ago, but less than 50 people showed up.

Organizers felt the lack of support by elected officials and no FortisBC representa-tion during the public event meant that the coalition and meeting wasn’t taken serious-ly. The $51 million Advanced Metering Infrastructure proj-ect affects 130,000 FortisBC electrical customers, in homes and businesses stretching from Princeton in the west, through the Okanagan and West Kootenay to Creston in the east.

IN BRIEFMeter meeting dismal

The process has begun to brand the only remaining school in the city.

School District 20 has initi-ated the renaming process for the former Rossland Secondary School building that now houses elementary school and middle school stu-dents. To begin the process the school needs two parent volunteers “willing and able” to be on the school renaming committee.

They must commit to attend two to three meetings, to help with criteria selection, be part of the process to col-lect submissions from the community and to select names from those submitted, read a missive from the cur-rent school administration sent out Wednesday, Nov. 20.

Dates for the meetings will

be Dec. 4, 5 p.m., Feb. 12 and possibly one in early January if the committee needs a third meeting.

The committee also needs one non-parent, non-staff and one non-student community member on the committee.

Children in kindergarten and up to Grade 5 at MacLean Elementary School have been taking their classes at the for-mer high school, along with grades six to nine already at the school. Some people have been referring to it as Rossland School but the most common-ly heard name is still RSS. The school has been without a proper name since it opened as a kindergarten to Grade 9 facility in September.

Those interested can con-tact school principal Karen Lavender at [email protected] by Nov. 29. She will draw names randomly from those who are interested.

Musical chairs

Led by operations manager Don Thompson crews at Red are load testing and getting the Grey Mountain lift and chairs ready for the open-ing on Dec. 14.

Kalacis said the week of sun Rossland was enjoying would help speed up the work on the moun-tainside.

“It’s good for those workers. But we’re still on schedule,” he said.

The hill is still also slated to open Dec. 14.

“If the snow comes hard the week of Dec. 14 we might adjust, but officially it is the 14th,” Kalacis said.Oct. 10 blog update

“A great day installing the lift towers. Sunny and calm and the Red team joined Summit lifts for a well orchestrated fly day. Top and bottom terminal grading is underway while run development contin-ues and sign structures are being installed.

“All looks good for timing of drive station completion and lift haul cable installation as the next major construction milestones. Stay tuned for more progress reports as we get closer to powering up the Grey Chair!”

catch a busThe creation of a daytime continuous

shuttle bus from Rossland to Red Mountain is proving to be a bigger deal than city coun-cil gave credence to.

In a recent meeting with one of the big-gest receptive tour operators in the country, Kalacis said they were “ecstatic” to hear the city had an in-town shuttle.

Ground transfers were the number one item that needed improvement at the hill, he said. But there is still work to do on airport shuttles from Spokane, Kalacis noted. Right now they run once per day, but most major B.C. ski resorts run up to a half dozen times per day.

“It has to be convenient and easy to get here,” he said. “A lot of people don’t want to drive. They don’t want to rent a car. They want to have a fun ski holiday without the pain of driving around. They want to be shuttled.”

The shuttle would run from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The times for the evening service were not set. The shuttle would run every day that Red Mountain is operating for the winter of 2013/14 with an opening date of no earlier than Dec. 14 and finishing no later than April 6.
