Mountain climber dies on Mt. Rogers in Glacier National Park A family climbing expedition ended in tragedy on Wednesday when a man died in a fall on Mt. Rogers in Glacier National Park.

Golden RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Troy Durand said RCMP were notified of the incident 6 p.m. on Aug. 8.

He said a father and son pair encountered severe weather conditions while climbing on the Mt. Rogers Glacier. They were attempting to return to their base camp when they slipped.

The pair slid for about 100 metres before falling about 10 metres over a crevasse.

The father, aged 52, died in the fall. His 22-year-old son survived the fall and managed to return to base camp to summon help.

A Parks Canada Search and Rescue team returned to the scene on the morning of Aug. 9 where they recovered the body of the deceased man.

The climbers are from 108 Mile Ranch, B.C. The B.C. Coroners Service identified the victim as Jon Howard Sortome.

Sortome’s family requested privacy following the incident.

Soggy June and July puts fire season on pace for record low A Revelstoke area BC Forest Service weather station recorded 255 per cent of normal precipitation in June, dampening fire season Times Review staff

The Southeast Fire Centre is experiencing a very slow forest fire season, due largely to very wet months in June and July – but it’s starting to pick up.

Had it been any other year, the spectacular thunderstorm in the skies over Revelstoke on the evening of Aug. 6 would likely have touched off a few.

But due to wet conditions, the storm hasn’t started any confirmed fires of note the next day.

As of Aug. 3, there had been 39 fires burning a total of 175 hectares.

That’s way below the five-year average of 184 fires burning 1,300 hectares by this point in the summer.

Fire Information Officer Karlie Shaughnessey said at this rate it is on pace to be the slowest fire season in 50 years of recorded wildfire history.

As of Aug. 7, the Southeast Fire Centre hadn’t had a notable wildfire since May 15, when a fire burned a modest 53 hectares southwest of Invermere.

Rain is at the root of the slow season. Revelstoke has been very wet in June and July.

Southeast Fire Centre forecaster Ron Lakeman said a Ministry of Forests weather station near Revelstoke got 191 mm of rain in June – that’s 255 per cent of normal.

July was also wet. The same station

got 74 mm of rain, or 114 per cent of normal.

On the whole, the Southeast has been wet, but the Revelstoke area has experienced more rain than southern regions in the district.

Shaughnessey said the forest is slowly drying out “a little bit” and that should continue into August.

“Campfires are still a go as long as you keep them small,” Shaughnessey explained. There is an open burning ban, but campfires less than 50 centimetres in height and diameter are still allowed.

ACTIVITY UP IN SOUTHERN PORTION OF SOUTHEAST As of Aug. 10 fire crews were dealing with 34 new fires, 29 of which were caused by lightning.

A fire on Skimmer Horn Mountain near Creston was listed at 38 hectares.

New fires of note were reported on Aug. 12 near the Keenleyside Dam at Syringa and Five Mile Creek near Nelson.

On Aug. 13 crews dealt with a fire in the Kootenay–Boundary region.

“Several other spot-sized fires (less than one hectare) are burning as a result of recent thunderstorms within the fire centre,” Shaughnessey said. “Most of these fires are located in remote areas and are not affecting nearby communities,”

Remember scenes like these? It’s been a slow fire season in the Southeast Fire Centre, especially in its northern Columbia district, where there haven’t been any fires like this.

One person suffering from serious injuries was flown by helicopter to Kelowna General Hospital on Monday, Aug. 6 following a motor vehicle crash on the Trans-Canada.

The incident happened at about 11:30 a.m. at a location about 107 kilometres east of Revelstoke on the eastern side of Rogers Pass.

BC Ambulance Service spokesperson Kelsie Carwithen said the incident involved two vehicles that had rolled over and crashed into the ditch.

Four people were involved in the crash. One person suffering from serious injuries was flown to hospital in Kelowna, while two others with non life threatening injuries were transported to hospital in Golden. The fourth refused treatment.

The Golden RCMP were not available for comment, so further details on the cause of the crash are not available.

Revelstoke RCMP responded to other MVIs on the Trans-Canada near Revelstoke on Aug 6.

A Revelstoke RCMP spokesperson said a four-vehicle rear-ender just west of Revelstoke in the early afternoon didn’t result in any injuries. One vehicle failed to notice slowing traffic and crashed into the vehicle in front of it propelling it into two more cars ahead.

Capsule Comments With David Lafreniere The idea of digitalization of the human body is coming.

There are blood glucose machines that can connect to an iPhone.

Soon, blood pressure and other vital statistics will be added and can be downloaded to your doctor. Eventually, your genetic data will be in a form that will allow your doctor to prescribe the drug that will work best for you.

Bruising is more common as we get older.

Tiny blood vessels, called capillaries in our skin become more fragile and are more likely to rupture. Also the skin contains less fat so there is less protection for the capillaries. Even though we bruise more easily as we age, your doctor should be consulted if you have large painful bruises or bruises that come on suddenly.

Heartburn results when the valve that shuts off the tube to the stomach doesn’t seal well enough and allows the food to come back up the tube (esophagus).

Because that food has been mixing with stomach acid, this regurgitation causes the burning feeling in the esophagus. If heartburn becomes chronic, see your doctor.

Author seeks Arrow Lakes memories and stories GREG NESTEROFF Special to the Times Review

A Robson author is looking for stories, photos, and family histories to help her write a comprehensive book on the Arrow Lakes.

“The goal is a complete analysis of the Upper and Lower Arrow Lakes and the narrows,” says Takaia Larsen, who has a $9,000 Columbia Basin Trust grant to complete the manuscript within 18 months.

The book will devote one chapter to each town that once dotted the lake.

“I’m still deciding what defines a town, but thinking wherever the SS Minto stopped,” she says. “If it had a store, it was a town.”

She figures 28 places between Castlegar and Arrowhead met that criteria before dam construction of the 1960s flooded many of them.

Her interest began several years ago when she created an exhibit about Renata for the Kootenay Gallery. Despite growing up in the area and boating recreationally on the lake, she didn’t realize how many communities there once were.

Takaia Larsen is preparing a book on the history of the Arrow Lakes area.

PHOTO COURTESY OF TAKAIA LARSEN

“The work on that one town made me realize there were so many,” she says.

Larsen adds while a number of books have already been published on such places as Burton, Edgewood, Arrowhead, and Nakusp, her project will synthesize them all.

As a history instructor at Selkirk

College, she has longed for a single volume covering the whole area.

“It’s so scattered and it’s hard for students to get a sense of the history of the whole region,” she says.

She’s particularly intrigued with Oatscott, the Indian reservation opposite Burton that reverted

to the Crown in 1953. “I’ve always wondered how that land came into the hands of the province because it was privately owned,” she says.

“I’m hoping I can shed light on that.”

She’s also curious about Robson, where she lives on what used to be a large orchard.

She’s hoping to use previously untapped resources, and already has some leads. The Castlegar Heritage Society has 50 pages of transcripts from interviews done 20 years ago, plus materials that used to be housed at the Kootenay Gallery.

The Arrow Lakes Historical Society has over 400 taped interviews conducted by Milt Parent dating back to 1972. And later this month Larsen will visit the BC Archives to listen to other audio interviews of Arrow Lakes residents from the Imbert Orchard collection.

She’s also working with Bruce Rohn, who was raised in Renata, and has many photos.

“It’s a huge project,” she says.

“I want it to be well researched and academic but for a popular audi-

ence. I’d like to be able to use it at the college. I want people to be able to pick it up and read it.”

Larsen applied unsuccessfully for project funding last year, but thanks to support from local heritage groups, was luckier this time around.

The grant only covers the research phase. Afterward she’ll have to find a publisher.

The book is tentatively titled And Then the Waters Rose: Histories and Memories of the Arrow Lakes.

Once published, Larsen plans to do a reading tour of the entire Columbia Basin, noting East Kootenay residents were similarly displaced by hydro-electric development.

Larsen has two other titles under her belt. She turned her thesis on women working at Cominco during World War II into Sewing the Seeds: Women, Work, and Memory. She also co-authored a limited-edition history of the Castlegar pulp mill, Working Together: Celgar’s First 50 Years in the West Kootenay.

Larsen can be reached at 250365-3900 or tjmk@shaw.ca.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rejected suggestions his government is considering pushing through the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline across northern B.C. Harper was asked about Enbridge Inc.’s pipeline project at a stop in Vancouver Tuesday, and the frequent accusation that he has already decided it is in the national interest for it to proceed.

“I’ve been very clear that decisions on these kinds of projects are made through an independent evaluation conducted by scientists into the economic costs and risks that are associated with the project,” Harper said.

“I think that’s the only way governments can handle controversial projects of this manner, to ensure that things are evaluated on an independent basis, scientifically, and not simply on political criteria.”

Harper told reporters he has spoken with B.C. Premier Christy Clark and other premiers about pipelines, but those conversations are private. It’s his first public comment since a dispute erupted between Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford in July over Clark’s demand for more revenues.

“I’m not going to get into an argument or discussion about how we divide hypothetical revenues,” Harper said.

He did emphasize that in general, it is important for Canada to diversify its trade and open up

new markets in Asia. The federal government is planning “huge investments” to improve environmental protection for shipping resource material, but it won’t favour any individual project, he said.

Kinder Morgan hopes to twin its existing oil pipeline from Alberta to port and refinery facilities in Burnaby, to transport more heavy oil from the Athabasca oil sands. But the company has not yet formally applied for federal environment assessment.

Clark initially said her govern-

ment would wait until the federal assessment of Enbridge is concluded in 2013 before deciding whether to support it. Then in late July, the B.C. government presented a list of five preconditions, including a positive recommendation from the federal review.

The others are “world-leading” oil spill prevention and response capability on land and at sea, meeting legal requirements to consult and accommodate aboriginal groups along pipeline routes, and a “fair share” of oil revenues for B.C.

City moves to make businesses deal with graffiti AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke city council wants city property owners to clean up the graffiti on their buildings, so

they’re starting a public outreach and enforcement campaign.

Currently, property owners are required to remove graffiti from their buildings when asked by the city. If they don’t comply on time,

city crews will remove the graffiti and hand them the bill.

The latest enforcement initiative was prompted by members of city council, who asked city staff to get on top of the file.

The city is working with the Chamber of Commerce on the issue. They’re planning public outreach during August and will then start a notification to businesses in September.

October 1 is the deadline to comply. If you think you can remove or cover the graffiti for cheaper than the city crews, you’ll need to have it done before that date

The Volunteer Medical Transportation Program, coordinated through the Revelstoke Senior Citizens’ Association, has received a much needed boost to its contingency fund for fuel expenses.

This community-based program, which provides transportation for out of town medical appointments to individuals in our community, compensates its volunteer drivers for fuel expenses and a meal while

away from home.

The program has seen an unexpected increase in use and its contingency fund was quickly depleting. In typical Revelstoke fashion, the service clubs and other non-profit organizations have stepped forward to help out and ensure that everyone in our community is able to meet their medical needs.

The Revelstoke Senior Citizens’ Association wishes to

sincerely thank the following organizations for their generosity and continued support.

Flood of IPP activity to feed LNG demand is not ‘green’

COMMUNITY COMMENT

BY MICHAEL WATSON

In the August 8 edition of the Revelstoke Times Review you couldn’t help but notice the 12 Intentions to Apply for an Investigative License on Crown Land for run-of-river projects.

The sheer number of intentions, which took up almost seven pages in the classifieds, represents the mismanagement of our creeks and rivers. While these types of notices are new due to recently policy changes they still mark the beginning for these projects to become a reality.

I have visited a majority of the proposed creeks and rivers but some are just too remote to access. Some of the proposals are near existing infrastructure like transmission lines, highways, and logging roads that would lessen the impact compared to the remote ones but the environmental risk is still to great compared to the benefits. The Goldstream River Valley, 90 kilometres north of Revelstoke is home to seven proposals by two private companies. Towards the upper part of the valley Norman Wood Creek, Upper Goldstream River, and Stitt Creek all have proposals on them and if built all three powerhouses would be within one kilometre of each other. This is just another example of mismanagement and poor planning associated with the Independent Power Producer program.

The way these projects are evaluated are on a one-off style of criteria and there is no cumulative impact studies done in relation to separate nearby projects or on a whole for the province. Run-of-river (more along the line of river diversion) projects are not new but the technology has come a long way. However, there have been no scientific studies done on the eco-

logical effects of these run-of-river projects. A new publication out of UBC about BC’s Inland Rainforest highlights the concerns about run-ofriver projects specifically near Revelstoke. It outlines concerns due to the reduction of aquatic invertebrate production even if fish habitat is not compromised. Also the effects associated with the rise of water and creek bed temperatures within the area where the creek or river has been diverted are still not known. Compound these with the reduction of spray zones around waterfalls, within the diversion reach, which create unique humid environments that promote a high diversity of lichens and other plants. The environmental effects are uncertain and clearly more research is needed.

In my opinion the negatives outnumber the positives for the Independent Power Producers (IPP) program. Crown land tenures are given to private power companies, the company alters the watershed forever for what it calls ‘green’ energy, the projects receives lucrative payments from BC Hydro to produce the power (Currently BC Hydro owes $35 Billion in outstanding IPP contracts). There is little government oversight of the projects due to budget cuts, and add that to the fact that the power comes mostly in spring – when BC Hydro’s reservoirs are filled to the brim.

Recently the government has altered the process and mandates associated with IPPs, as mentioned in last week’s article. The fact that the current government wishes to supply the new LNG processing plants with IPP electricity is asinine. The industrialization of hundreds of creeks and rivers in British Columbia for the perpetration of a fossil fuel industry is not in the best interest of British Columbians. We will bear the brunt of the costs for this expensive IPP electricity as ratepayers. Also, where will the electricity come during the winter months when the run-of-river projects are running at their lowest? These bandaid style solutions with no long-term planning continues to bankrupt BC Hydro and will end the era for one of the most profitable Crown corporations in Canada.

Private companies wanting to industrialize B.C.’s creeks and rivers are strictly profit driven and would have no interest in conservation approaches; the more water that flows the more money being made.

There has also been major malfunctions with IPP run-of-river projects and were brought to light in a FOI request by the Wilderness Committee earlier in the year.

In some cases creeks and rivers have run dry for days due to problems with the intake structure, and also stranding and killing fish. One of those mishaps was at the Akolkolex River facility just south of Revelstoke in 2005 where water was not observed for three days in the diversion reach. The cause was faulty equipment resulting in an excess of energy being produced. This is not acceptable and once again highlights the failings associated with run-ofriver projects and the IPP program.

We are experiencing a gold rush mentality on our precious natural resources with the current provincial government over the last ten years. We as British Columbians must continue to speak up about this ‘bullish’ mentality that everything has a dollar value. Not all run-of-river style projects are bad but the way they are managed benefits private interests and not ratepayers. Let’s do green energy right.

Unlike in many jurisdictions in the U.S., the RCMP don’t maintain a publicly-accessible police blotter at their stations. Unlike in the U.S., reporters, bloggers and citizens don’t have access to consistent statistics on recent criminal activity.

What crimes are and are not disclosed to the public are completely at the discretion of the police.

Therefore, we can have a wave of bike thefts, snowmobile thefts or break and enters and have little idea it’s going on until the thieves have left town with their loot. The public doesn’t know to be on the lookout.

We regularly have serious MVIs on our dangerous strip of the Trans-Canada that go unreported because they happen

Yes, the local RCMP do release information on crimes from time to time, but these releases lack consistency. Our hunch is it’s partially based on staffing levels that week.

Revelstoke, but as recent Stats Canada statistics point out, it’s higher than the national average and dogged by things like petty thefts – which aren’t petty to the owner of a $3,500 mountain bike who’d love public assistance in getting it back with the help of a timely description.

Just the facts, presented in a consistent, clear and timely fashion would help empower the public to take a bite out of crime in Revelstoke.

Our energy future requires leaders with bold vision

SCIENCE MATTERS

BY DAVID SUZUKI

B.C.’s Christy Clark was right to walk away from a national energy strategy promoted by Alberta’s Alison Redford at a provincial premiers’ meeting in Halifax in late July. She just did it for the wrong reasons.

Clark said she won’t sign on unless B.C. is guaranteed a bigger share of benefits from the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project.

But all the money in China, Alberta, and Enbridge’s bank accounts won’t be enough to undo the damage from a major leak near one of the thousand waterways the dual pipeline would

cross, or from a supertanker spill along the B.C. coast.

B.C.’s premier should have renounced the proposal because it’s focused more on tar sands, pipelines, and markets than on getting Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions under control by shifting from fossil fuel dependency to a more efficient system based on conservation and renewable energy.

Canadians want and need an energy strategy. We need it to combat the ever-increasing damage from global warming, to make better use of our resources, to ensure energy security for all Canadians, to respect the rights of aboriginal people, and to create long-term jobs and economic prosperity. That calls for a better plan than quickly digging up all our bitumen and coal and selling it to China and fracking the hell out of every piece of ground that might have some gas in it.

Oil, gas, and coal are valuable and finite resources. All represent energy from the sun that has been stored

through photosynthesis and concentrated over millions of years. We waste a lot of it, especially when we burn it in private automobiles that use only about 15 per cent of the energy to move the car. Because a car typically weighs 10 to 20 times more than the passengers it carries, we’re only getting about one per cent efficiency from the fuel.

Instead of wasting 99 per cent of this complex and useful non-renewable chemical mix, we could use more of it to make everything from bicycle tires and computer keyboards to heart valves and artificial limbs. And surely we can even find more efficient and less polluting ways to use it for fuel.

A rational energy strategy – one that benefits Canadians more than multinational corporations and the repressive regime in China – would recognize the value of our limited resources not just for fuel and products but as a way to generate steady revenue to help us shift to renewable energy.

What would such a strategy look

like? It’s already too late to stop global warming, but we can contribute to making it less severe. That means shifting away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible. Canada would have to reduce its emissions by 80 per cent from 1990 levels by 2050 to do its part to avoid dangerous warming over 2° C. Instead of doubling oil sands production, we need to reduce the energy we get from fossil fuels by more than 70 per cent.

The target is possible if we transform our energy system over the next 40 years, according to the Trottier Energy Futures Project, a joint effort between the David Suzuki Foundation and the Canadian Academy of Engineering. Renewable energy use would have to double. Energy production from non-hydro renewables such as wind, solar, and biomass would have to increase 150 times from today’s levels. We would also have to make our country 50 per cent more energy efficient. This could be accomplished by building only netzero buildings by 2050 and retrofit-

ting existing buildings to the highest efficiency standards.

It would take vision and commitment, including unlocking financing to enable energy efficient retrofits and renewable energy development, training workers to retrofit homes and install local renewable generation, building a flexible electricity grid, and converting refineries to biofuel production from biomass byproducts.

Although the 2007 plan Premier Redford and her fellow leaders hope to build on mentions renewable energy and climate change, it doesn’t offer the bold vision needed to realize the many benefits – and the necessity – of reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. We need a broad and comprehensive strategy. Had Premier Clark embraced and articulated such a vision, she would have been seen as a real leader.

Health Advice

Revelstoke + rain + warm* weather = mosquitoes!

It is mosquito season once again. There could be a bumper crop in Revelstoke this year with all the early summer rain and the recent warm weather. Prevention is the best thing so hunt around your gardens and yard for any still water that could be the breeding ground for mosquitoes.

A small bucket, a plugged gutter on your roof, garbage can lid, or an old hubcap – all can hold just enough of water for spawning hundreds of mosquitoes. It only requires 7-14 days for a mosquito to grow from an egg to a flying adult. Just remember that mosquitoes can carry the West Nile Virus – an infection can produce flu-like symptoms, headache, body aches and skin rash. Rarely, meningitis or encephalitis can occur. There are no specific treatments for West Nile virus infection. Be sure to check with your doctor if the above symptoms persist.

If you do get bitten by a mosquito the reaction is usually localized, with itching, swelling and accompanying redness. This reaction is your body allergy response to the proteins in the saliva that is injected into the skin by the mosquito. Application of a counter irritant such as ammonia

by Steven Hui BSc Pharm (e.g. After Bite) to the bite area may help with the itching. Topical antihistamines (i.e. Benadryl) have a topical anesthetic effect, however avoid applying to large areas especially to children as toxicity has occurred from excess absorption through the skin. Contact dermatitis has occurred with topical antihistamines so be sure to discontinue if any irritation occurs. Use of a topical steroid such as hydrocortisone cream can reduce itching and swelling.

Occasionally an oral antihistamine may be given to help with the itching and swelling. Non-sedating antihistamines such as loratidine (e.g. Claritin) or cetrizine (e.g. Reactine) can be given to persons who are more sensitive to the mosquito bite.

Insect bites can sometimes become infected secondarily by bacteria. If symptoms do not improve after several days or the area increasingly swells, becomes more red, tender, painful and warm to the touch – you should seek further medical attention through your family physician.

Your local Pharmasave pharmacist is available 7 days a week to answer all your summer first aid inquiries. Open Sundays 11-5. Live well with Pharmasave.

Blackberry Wood has kicked up dust in towns all over Western Canada, the United Kingdom and parts of the United States and will bring its alternative country-gypsy-circus music to the Grizzly Plaza this Friday, Aug. 17. Vancouver’s Blackberry Wood puts a high-energy cabaret spin on old and modern music adding juicy flavours like jumpin’ ska, skiffle, folk, punk and many other foot stomping delights to their original and timeless down-home music. Blackberry Wood comes down the road like a traveling caravan with all kinds of wondrous instruments, vocal melodies, and fantastically costumed characters. Some have describe their music as Tijuana-Hillbilly-Ska. Their sound slips from gypsy folk to ragtime to country and, when you least expect it, in slides a bit of hip hop and world beats. Fit to compete with the cast of Moulin Rouge with their zany costumes, Blackberry Wood seems ready to strike up a burlesque hoedown just about anywhere you plunk them down. The motley crew is led by front man Kris Wood and the fun loving band is making a name for itself on both sides of the Atlantic. Veterans of the UK’s prestigious Glastonbury Festival — they have appeared twice — Blackberry Wood plays all over B.C. and Alberta.

8/8/12 6:03 PM

to Craigelleachie just west of town, where the Last Spike was hammered in.

The four days of events includes a photo contest, daily coffee in the business car, vintage car show and several special events.

The highlight is the talk by Turner, who is the Curator Emeritus at the Royal British Columbia Museum.

He will give an illustrated presentation titled The Last Steam Railways, Around the World. The talk will look at the use of steam locomotives around the world, 50 years after they were retired by CP Rail in Canada.

Steam locomotives are still being used in mines, steel mills and plantations in many remote countries. Turner has travelled around the world to document their ongoing use in places like Inner Mongolia in China, Myanmar, Vietnam, Bosnia, Serbia, Indonesia, Brazil, Paraguay, Pakistan, Syria, Zimbabwe, Romania, Poland and other countries.

As he describes it on his website, “These are not heritage railways, but places where steam still earns its way hauling coal, miners, molten steel, and sugar cane. Within the next few years, they will all be gone.”

On Saturday, Aug. 18, the Railway Museum will host family day, with a number of events scheduled: - CP Rail will be giving rides up and down Track Street on its Puffer Belly mini-train.

- The wedge snow plow will be on hand so people can see how it works and how the tracks are kept clear in winter.

- The Salmon Arm Model Railroad Club will be at the museum demonstrating their layout.

- Ian Baird will be signing copies of his book, An Historical Guide to Canadian Pacific Railway Stations in British Columbia. The book looks at architecture of the stations as well as the role they played in community and commercial life in the towns where they were located. Stations ranged from simple log structures to luxurious resorts and Baird looks at their rapid disappearance and architectural legacy.

- The museum is planning a Speers at the Wye event at the CPR parking lot, where people can take rides on speeders, small railway cars that were used for track maintenance and inspection. One will be coming from Nelson and another from Kamloops.

- The Kettle Valley Brakemen will perform two 30 minutes sets of railway songs.

- As well, the Revelstoke Acrobats will give a demonstration, Team Gloria will be serving food, there will be a bouncy obstacle course for kids, and Operation Lifesaver will be on hand to provide information about railway safety.

On Sunday, Aug. 19, the Railway Museum is hosting its annual vintage car show in the back lot of the museum. The Kettle Valley Brakemen will once again be playing music and the winners of the Railway Days raffle and photo contest will be announced.

Entrance to the photo contest is open from Aug. 16 at 9 a.m. to Aug. 17 at noon. There are three categories - black & white, colour and youth (11-17).

A Midsummer Night’s Green reaps the rewards of summer Local food event will be a must for foodies and those looking to catch up on a summer of momentum in the local food movement AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke foodies will reap the rewards of a summer of local food production this Saturday at the North Columbia Environmental Society’s Midsummer Night’s Green event at Benoit’s Wine Bar. The event is returning with a new format. I spoke with organizer Hailey Ross about what’s on the menu. Here’s our conversation in bite-sized morsels, including lots of talking points for schmoozing at the event: Ross says the participating restaurants will use local ingredients to create “something creative and something different.” She told me the staff at the Nomad have promised “to knock people’s socks off.”

Many chefs are planning to get creative and highlight their talent.

“We kind of expect to see some pretty neat things coming to the event,” she said.

It’s a semi-formal affair featuring tapas plates from several local kitchens. Platters from each restaurant will be circulated one at a time to prevent a mad rush to the buffet. Unlike last year, there’s no judging.

Do you know what the most local winery is? Larch Hills near Salmon Arm, I’m told. Ross said they’re happy to have representa-

tives from Larch Hills at the event.

They’ll be providing wines, samples and information on their products – and it’s at Benoit’s so there’s lots more to choose from.

The food ingredients will include those grown at backyard gardens, and at Revelstoke’s Terra Firma Farm – and from the Revelstoke Farm & Craft Market.

The event is a fundraiser for the NCES Local Food Initiatives Committee – and they’ve certainly got lots of projects on the go if you’re interested in getting involved at the ground level.

The committee plans to continue work on education programs like the Farm to Table series that teaches kids the connection between the farm and the table.

They’re also working with the city to develop a local food charter.

The goal would be to get everyone at the table discussing food issues. ”It’s something that provides a bit of clarity,” Ross explained.

Another possible new development is finding a new, larger location for a community garden in Revelstoke. Ross said the vision is for a collectively-managed garden divided into sections – tomatoes here, beans there – where fellow gardeners can learn skills from each other. “You help yourself to whatever’s there,” she said.

Another possible plan is part-

Glen and Nicole Cherlet of the new Eatery on the Green restaurant at the Revelstoke Golf Club will be one of many local restaurants preparing dishes for the Midsummer Night’s Green event. Their restaurant features a new raised bed garden (pictured) and custom smokers they’ll used to prepare a trout salad served in bite-sized portions. The Cherlets have worked at local restaurants for the past few years while looking to establish their own restaurant. The Eatery on the Green features lighter fare with a focus on meats roasted and smoked on site.

Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

nering with the City of Revelstoke to turn landscaped areas into “productive space,” Ross explained.

Another future project idea is a garden and art tour.

Many of these initiatives require more (organic, vegetable-based) elbow grease, and the Midsummer Night’s Green event is a good place to start the networking.

The NCES is encouraging people to

come out to Benoit’s Wine Bar this Saturday, Aug. 18 at 7 p.m. for the semi-formal event.

Tickets ($25 each) are available at Talisman on Mackenzie Avenue.

REVELSTOKE GRIZZLIES

Revelstoke BCAS Unit Chief

Ah, yes – it’s summer, and we can all enjoy the sun, the beach, the easy summer living. Vacations, camping, daytrips to see the sights – these are what memories are made of – especially as we approach the final long weekend of summer. But it’s also important that we remember to be aware of the hidden dangers of summertime. It’s one way to ensure that you’ll enjoy the photos from your summer fun for years to come.

Travel – Be sure to keep your cell phone charged, and consider purchasing a second battery. Always have a first aid kit in the car. Make note of landmarks and direction so emergency personnel can find your location easily if you need to call 911.

Water and pools – Children are particularly vulnerable to accidents in pools. They can drown in less than five centimetres of water, so never leave a child unattended near water.

Always empty wading pools after supervised use. People really enjoy being near the water in the Revelstoke area – especially around the Columbia

River – so remember that it’s important to be vigilant about fast moving water. Children, adults and pets can be swept away in rivers or the ocean.

Bikes, Skateboards and Rollerblades – Helmets can significantly reduce the risk of brain injury for all ages when worn appropriately. Children should wear a helmet at all times, even if they’re just riding a tricycle; a fall from as little as two feet can result in significant trauma to a child’s brain.

Cars – Never leave a child or pet in your car – even with the windows partly rolled down as the interior temperature can reach 50 degrees Celsius in as little as 10 minutes.

Sun Sense – Guard against heatstroke by moving to the shade -- take a break once in a while so that you don’t overdo sun exposure -- and drink lots of water to avoid dehydration. Headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea, clammy/pale skin and weak or rapid pulse are all common signs of heat exhaustion.

Campfires and barbeques – Never leave a fire or barbecue unattended or use a camp stove in a confined space; always keep children a

safe distance from the heat. Remember that even a fire that has been recently put out can generate enough heat to cause a serious burn in a child.

Pull over for paramedics and other emergency responders – If an ambulance is travelling with lights and siren on, you can be sure that paramedics are responding to a life-threatening situation or are taking a patient to receive urgent care. BC Ambulance Service crews respond to more than 486,000 events every year throughout the province -- nearly one call every minute 24 hours a day, seven days a week. When minutes can affect a patient’s outcome, paramedics use lights and siren so that they can reach their destination as quickly as possible.

So enjoy a wonderful summer with family and friends. Make sure you have lots of great memories and photos to share for years to come. Make time for safety in the summertime sun but don’t forget the sunscreen. I know that I’m going to enjoy all that British Columbia has to offer this summer.

After targeting provincial ministry offices with their second one-day strike, the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union says the provincial government has followed through on its threat to withdraw its offered wage increase.

BCGEU negotiators had rejected a raise of two per cent this year and 1.5 per cent next year when it was presented in late June. Citing a two-year wage freeze leading up to this year’s negotiations, the union wants 3.5 this year and a raise equivalent to the cost of living increase for 2013.

The latest one-day strike created a four-day long weekend for 180 employees in provincial ministry offices Tuesday. BCGEU members refused to work at three forests ministry offices, with 40 staff in Surrey, 50 in Campbell River and 60 combined at transportation and forest ministry offices in 100 Mile House. Another 30 union members in agriculture, health, environment and labour ministry jobs in Kelowna struck for the day.

Union officials have not indicated when their next strike action will be. The first was July 3 at liquor distribution warehouses in Kamloops, Vancouver and Victoria.

After the first walkout, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the wage offer could be withdrawn if strikes continued.

“We hope we don’t have to repeat job action going forward,” BCGEU president Darryl Walker wrote on his blog Wednesday. “But that’s the likelihood if the government doesn’t make us a fair and reasonable offer soon. We are prepared to take job action to the next level if we have to.”

Last week Walker led a rally in Vancouver to publicize the union’s proposal to expand its deputy sheriff services to include traffic enforcement, raising extra fine revenue that could be used for pay raises.

BC to study online voting for provincial, local elections TOM FLETCHER Black Press

It won’t happen in time for the provincial election next spring, but the B.C. government is moving ahead with Premier Christy Clark’s pledge to examine online voting at the local and provincial level.

Some municipalities have suggested modernizing elections to make voting more convenient, and reverse the recent trend to lower voter participation. Clark proposed the idea during last year’s B.C. Liberal leadership campaign.

Justice Minister Shirley Bond announced Thursday that she has asked Chief Electoral

Officer Keith Archer to set up an expert panel to make recommendations. Archer asked the government last year to give him authority to conduct pilot projects for electronic voting, and to consider extending voter registration to 16and 17-year-olds, as has been done in Australia and some U.S. states.

During his leadership bid, Health Minister Mike de Jong proposed lowering the voting age from 18 to 16, to encourage younger people to get involved as part of their high school education.

Nola Western, deputy chief electoral officer at Elections B.C., said the panel will likely

need until 2014 to recommend changes to the Election Act that would permit online voting. Independent experts on Internet security and electoral administration will be asked to serve on a committee chaired

by Archer, with a first meeting expected by October.

Elections BC already has online voter registration, as well as data sharing with the federal voters’ list, ICBC and the B.C. Vital Statistics Agency to keep the voters’ list up to date.

Western said online voting has been used in Halifax and Markham, Ont., but has not yet been tried at the provincial or federal level in Canada.

Chief Electoral Officer Keith Archer is chairing a committee to study options for elecBlack Press tronic voting.
