Inspiring performance

Women from Place of Rescue, an orphanage and AIDS centre in Cambodia, perform a traditional blessing dance at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre last week. Place of Rescue is a home that houses orphans, families dealing with aids, destitute elderly women and unmarried pregnant women. It is home to 196 orphans and 23 elderly women. The dancers were on a tour of Canada to raise money for the home. They engaged in a performance of Aspara, or classical Cambodian dancing, that was accompanied by slideshows of Cambodian village life and stories about Place of Rescue.

Public works chief takes responsibility for downtown gas leak ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Crews resume work on installing a fibre optics cable Thursday afternoon after striking a gas line earlier in the day.

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

The public works department took responsibility for hitting a gas line that lead to an evacuation of several buildings downtown on Thursday.

Darren Komonoski, the operations manager for the department of public works, said that a contractor working for the city was installing a new fibre optics cable when the gas main was hit in an alleyway between the Revelstoke Credit Union and the Howson Building off Second Street West.

“We had a contractor doing the excavation for us, city works people were on the ground as well and still the line was hit,” he told the Times Review. “It was an error.”

The gas leak happened on Thursday, Oct. 11, at around 9 a.m. It forced the evacuation of the the credit union, the Howson building at the corner

of Second and Mackenzie, the entire west side of the 200 block of Mackenzie Avenue, the Selkirk Medical Clinic, Second Chance/Escape Within and Brandon Bowers Funeral Home.

People were huddled on intersections surrounding the closure area while the fire department blocked off the area immediately surrounding the scene.

Downtown was blocked off to vehicle traffic from Orton to Campbell Avenue and First to Third Street.

Pedestrians and cyclists were being allowed through.

The smell of gas permeated the area at least to the Times Review office at Second Street West and Garden Avenue. Firefighters were checking gas levels throughout the area, said Girard.

Fire at the pass

A truck fire just east of the Rogers Pass summit in Glacier National Park closed the Trans-Canada Highway for two hours last Tuesday

Times Review staff

A truck towing a trailer burst into flames last Tuesday afternoon, closing the Trans-Canada Highway in Glacier National Park for two hours.

The fire started on Oct. 9 at around 2:30 p.m. when a man driving a one-tonne pickup truck

Adrian Zissos photo

towing a Fifth Wheel trailer up the Beaver Hill noticed flames coming out from under his hood.

“He immediately got out of the vehicle and we were notified,” said Marnie DiGiandomenico, a spokesperson with Parks Canada.

Parks staff and the RCMP attended the scene. The truck was towed to the side of the road and allowed to burn out. There were no dangers of a forest fire, said DiGiandomenico.

The highway was closed from the Rogers Pass Summit to the bottom of the Beaver Hill on the eastern edge of the park.

Eastbound traffic was opened from the summit at 4:30 p.m. and westbound traffic was opened from the bottom of the hill at 5:30 p.m.

The driver of the truck was not injured, but his vehicle is a complete write-off. The cause of the fire is being investigated.

Council asked to ban dogs from farmers market after toddler attacked ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

A request to ban dogs from the Revelstoke farmers market came in front of city council at its meeing last Tuesday, Oct. 9.

The request came from Alison and John Lapshinoff, who’s son Nikolai was bitten by an unattended dog at the market last month.

The 18-month-old had to be taken to the hospital and received seven stitches in his eyelid and two in his head as a result of the attack.

“The farmers market should be a safe place to bring your kids,” the Lapshinoffs wrote in a letter to council. “We would like to request that council discuss banning dogs at the market and busy public events altogether.

“Dogs can be unpredictable and the market is a busy environment with a lot of small kids running around. It is often very difficult to keep the two apart.”

They requested enforcement through signage and animal control officers at the market. “We see no need to spray paint ‘no dog’ signs on the road,” they wrote.

Council didn’t discuss the matter; instead they passed a motion asking the planning department to prepare a report on the issue.

“It’s a very unfortunate incident and my heart goes out to the little boy,” said Mayor David Raven.

COUNCIL MULLS TAX COMPARISONS Is it fair to compare Revelstoke’s property tax rates to other municipalities? That is the question council debated after it was presented by a report on property taxes throughout B.C. The report was prepared by Graham Inglis, the city’s director of finance. It showed Revelstoke ranked 86th out of 161 municipalities for its residential tax rate, 18th in business tax rate, 53rd out of 74 municipalities for major industry tax rate; and that it’s average home value was 74th in the province.

Revelstoke’s general municipal and residential user fees based on average house value ranked 59th out of 161 municipalities.

But most councilors questioned the value of the information, noting there was little context to the numbers.

“Are we able to get peer communities that are somewhat similar to us?” asked Councillor Chris Johnston. “To compare us to Cranbrook, I don’t know how relevant that would be. The level of industrialization makes a huge difference.”

Coun. Gary Starling said it was difficult to compare the numbers between cities because you “have to really look at the criteria you’re using to compare.”

“If you look at it from one angle we look bad but you can look at it from another angle and it looks good,” he said. “It is good information to have but you have to take it with a grain of salt and take it for what it is.”

Coun. Steve Bender said it was necessary to look at the level of industrialization, the services provided and more to make a proper comparison. “The analysis it would take to get a good comparison could be endless,” he said.

Mayor David Raven said that pulling similar communities would introduce a bias to the numbers.

“It has value comparing apples to oranges as long as you understand the differences in what you’re comparing,” he said.

Counc. Tony Scarcella disagreed.

“I think you should compare apples to apples,” he said.

FOURTH STREET SPEED ZONE DEBATED Council heard a request to remove the playground speed zone restriction on Fourth Street East near Mt. Begbie Elementary school.

In a letter to council, Robyn Abear, asked if it was reasonable for drivers to be restricted to a 30 km/h speed limit every day of the year during daylight hours. She noted

The Revelstoke council chambers were given a facelift recently, with new tables and chairs. Tim Palmer, the city’s Chief Administrative Officer, said the furniture cost less than $3,000 and was cheaper than repairing the old Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review chairs.

the playground was surrounded by a high fence and was located on a side street on the other side of the now-empty school and away from Fourth Street She pointed out that the new speed zone is more restrictive than the old one, when the school was open.

According to staff, the playground zone was the result of discussions between the city, the Parent Advisory Committee for MBE, and neighbourhood groups.

Council asked staff to look into the matter and come back with a report in two months. It was also noted that something should be done before heavier traffic hits the area during ski season.

“I think there should be more public say for how long its going to be, why, and all that because the public feels there was not enough consultation,” said Coun. Tony Scarcella. ***

Revelstoke council gave final approval to the city’s Community Energy & Emissions Plan and District Energy Enhancement Plan last week.

The former plan sets out a path for the city to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions in the future.

The latter one sets out an expansion plan for the district energy system, which is run by the Revelstoke Community Energy Corporation.

The plans were adopted without any further debate. They had already gone through first and second reading, and extensive public consultation and hearings.

Council also adopted a new bylaw outlining off-leash dog areas.

The bylaw creates an off-leash area around much of the Illecillewaet Greenbelt, though the paved walkway and the area immediately surrounding the Downie Marsh remain on-leash areas.

SIMON HUNT NEW EMERGENCY CO-ORDINATOR Simon Hunt, a wildfire management specialist with Parks Canada, has been named the new Emergency Coordinator for the City of Revelstoke.

“Simon has a great wealth of experience in education and emergency management as a result of his position with Parks Canada as a wildfire specialist,” Fire Chief Rob Girard told council. “Simon is also a resident of Revelstoke and he’ll bring to our team local knowledge and will become an asset to our emergency operations in Revelstoke.

Hunt will be in charge of the Revelstoke and Area Emergency Management Program, which monitors all risks to Revelstoke and handles the responses. He will start in his position at the beginning of 2013.

He will remain in his job with Parks Canada.

NEW BYLAWS PASSED INTO LAW

With David Lafreniere In 1900, in the U.S., nearly one-third of all new babies never reached the age of five.

The major diseases that took these children were whooping cough, diphtheria, scarlet fever and rheumatic fever.

As well, women often died of “childbirth fever”, a serious streptococcal infection of the vagina.

One unsung

of the heroes of

medication history is hydrocortisone. It was discovered sixty years ago and has been a wonderful solution to people suffering from itchy and inflamed skin conditions. The drug is found in creams and ointments and is available without a prescription. Our pharmacists can advise you on the proper use of this product.

Singing in a choir is

good for your health.

Scientific studies have proven that singers have longer lives, use fewer prescriptions, have better cognitive skills, better vision, volunteer more often and have long-lasting marriages.

One more thing: 93% of choir singers vote in elections!

Asthma-sufferers note: about one-third of asthma patients do

not use their inhalers correctly. This means they are not getting the proper dose of medication to help the condition. This applies to both the spraytype and dry powder inhalers.

BC Coroner looks at ATV safety after Kootenay tragedy GREG NESTEROFF Black Press

The BC Coroners Service is looking at ways to prevent further tragedies like the one that claimed the life of a four-yearold Glade boy this week.

Isaac Robert Zukowski died in Sunday’s all-terrain vehi-

cle rollover on a forestry road between Nelson and Castlegar.

He was a passenger on a quad driven by his stepfather when it struck a drainage ditch and flipped, landing on top of them. The boy died at the scene, 14 km up Midslope Forest Service Road, while his step-dad was flown to hospital

in Trail by helicopter with serious injuries.

Police say there is no evidence excessive speed or recklessness was a factor and no driving-related charges are expected. They have turned the investigation over to the coroners service.

Spokeswoman Barb McLin-

tock said as with any accidental or child’s death, they will try to find anything that might prevent similar deaths — although recommendations have to be “reasonable and practical.”

ATV use is largely unregulated in BC, with no minimum age to be either a driver or a passenger, but McLintock

wasn’t sure it would be practical to ban young children from such machines.

“How you’d enforce it I’m not sure,” she said in an interview. “But it’s an interesting question. All of these things can be looked at by the coroner who, especially in child deaths, can take a fairly broad view.”

She added something else to be considered is protective equipment, but in this case everything was done correctly, as the boy wore a helmet and goggles.

Although she knew of other ATV fatalities in BC involving children 9-12 as well as teenagers, she couldn’t recall any others with a victim this young.

“A four-year-old is certainly unusual,” she said.

Gordon Galloway, the Elkford-based safety chair with the Quad Riders ATV Association of BC, said the organization has a standard set of safety recommendations for all riders.

These include taking a safety course, which explain hazards to riding, clothing, and environment, and following manufacturers’ recommendations that appear on each model. (The machine involved in Sunday’s incident was a Can-Am 1000, according to police.)

Galloway said there are many safety instructors throughout the province and age restrictions on the club’s courses: • Those for ages six to 11 are limited to four participants, must have parents present, and have a maximum ATV size.

• For those ages 12 to 15, parents “should” be present, class sizes are capped at six but recommended at four, and slightly larger ATVs are allowed.

• For those 16 and over, parents are not required, class sizes are a maximum of eight and there is no ATV size limit.

Despite safety precautions, “we also understand accidents happen, and this is one with the gravest of outcomes,” Galloway said in an email. “We hope we can learn from these so as to make further recommendations to riders, and try to prevent these tragedies. There may be many causes.”

Galloway extended condolences to the family and hoped everyone appreciated the risks involved, “to help us be safer riders while partaking in our sport in the backcountry.”

The site of Sunday’s crash is off Highway 3A near BC Hydro’s Kootenay Canal and Rover Creek Forest Service Road. Midslope Road, which branches off at the 8 km mark, has been decommissioned and is now only accessible by ATV.

Gas leak dealt with by Salmon Arm crews 1802 Trans Canada Hwy. Revelstoke B.C. Ph: 250-837- 6633

from page 1 At the credit union, the call to evacuate came just before 9 a.m. The gas could be smelled instantly, said one employee.

At the Selkirk Medical Clinic, evacuation came just after 9 a.m. Fortunately, there were few patients in at the time, said office manager Terry Marshall.

FortisBC dispatched a crew from Salmon Arm to take care of the leak, who crimped off the pipe and made the necessary repairs. It then restored service to the 54 customers affected by the break. The downtown area was re-opened at around 1 p.m. Some businesses stayed closed while others opened up.

Michael Allison, a spokesperson for FotisBC, said Fortis has a tech person in Revelstoke, but a larger crew had to be brought in due to the size of the leak. “With a case like this, it’s a little bit bigger,� he said. “The crews in Salmon Arm have all the equipment to handle a larger incident such as this. It’s just the scale, but there’s always someone available in Revelstoke 24 hours per day from FortisBC.�

Komonoski said all normal safety procedures were followed

Got food? Bears need 20,000 calories per day!

SUE DAVIES Revelstoke Bear Aware

Fall is here and the bears are hungry.

Bears are being seen raiding garbage cans, climbing fruit trees, and generally getting into anything containing food. At this time of year, bears are preparing for their long winter snooze and they need huge quantities of food to survive the winter. An adult human gets by on around 2,000 calories per day but at this time of year a bear needs about 20,000 calories per day.

To pack in that many calories, bears look for high energy food sources. From a bear’s point of view, it is far easier to raid a garbage can and eat a couple of kilograms of left over bread, cheese, and bacon grease, than the 35 kilograms of huckleberries it would take to gain the same number of calories.

Once a bear has begun finding highenergy foods in a neighbourhood, it makes sense for to the bear to continue searching for them. Unfortunately for us this is not such a good idea. Once bears begin accessing food in our neighbourhood they begin to loose their natural fear of us and can become problem bears, destroying property and even entering homes.

The key to reducing the number of problem bears in our town is to manage items that attract bears into our yards. The number one attractant is garbage. Keeping garbage locked in a shed or garage until pickup day is a great way to reduce the risk of problem bears. If you don’t have a shed or garage to store your garbage, keep food items in the freezer and add to the garbage only on pickup day.

Picking your fruit as it ripens is another way to discourage bears. If you don’t have a use for the fruit, take it to the food bank, advertise it on the Stoke List, or call Bear Aware at 250-837 8624 if you are unable to manage the picking yourself.

When you do pick your fruit, please

Bear Aware Volunteers Jackie Morris and Karilyn Kempton harvest plums for the food bank, photo courtesy Sue Davies.

Courtesy Bear Aware

don’t put all the spoiled fruit into the compost at once. Add small amounts at a time and cover well with fallen leaves or other brown material. Freeze excess spoiled fruit and add it during the winter months.

Birdfeeders are another source of very high-energy food for bears. One kilogram of birdseed is equivalent to more than 13.5 kilograms of blueberries. Bears will go to extraordinary lengths to access this food and, during the summer and fall, birds find

plenty of natural food. Keep your birdfeeders for when the birds really need it, and the bears are asleep.

For more information on how to manage bear attractants, visit the provincial Bear Aware website at www.bearaware.bc.ca or our local site at www.revelstokebearaware. org.

To report bear sightings or problem bears please call the RAPP Line at 1-877952 7277.

Cosmetic Tips by Kim Remesz, Cosmetics Manager, Pharmasave carry two Sensitive Skin? Find Your First of all, the epidermis of Pharmasave those with sensitive, intolerant brands that are recognized Skin Care Solution Sensitive, intolerant skin reacts more than normal skin, in fact it is hyperactive. It experiences prickling, overheating, pins & needles and itching (less frequently).

Sometimes accompanied by redness, these feelings of discomfort appear to be an exacerbated reaction to stimuli of different kinds which normally should not trigger any irritation: physical (UV rays, heat, cold, wind), chemical (cosmetics, soaps, water, pollution), psychological (stress, emotion) and hormonal (menstrual cycle).

Revelstoke wasn’t the only place in the region to have a ski club in the 19th century. Here, the Albert Canyon Ski Club poses for a photo in 1899.

Revelstoke Museum & Archives

The early years of the Revelstoke Ski Club This is the first of an eight part series of excerpts from First Tracks: A History of Skiing in Revelstoke, the latest book from the Revelstoke Museum & Archives.

BY THE REVELSTOKE MUSEUM & ARCHIVES

Most early skiing seems to have been recreational and noncompetitive. In the early 1890s, Revelstoke skiers founded a recreational ski club and merchant F.B. Wells imported 10-foot-long skis with intricate scrollwork from Minnesota for his store. The ski club included Wells, another merchant, Guy Barber, and mining entrepreneurs W.B. Pool, J. Maunsel, T. Horn and E.L. Kinman. These men went out regularly to ski down local slopes, an early form of downhill skiing.

In February 1900, an article in the American Munsey’s Magazine featured “ski running” in Revelstoke and described the Revelstoke club as “well-known” and “composed of many of the leading businessmen of the place.”

The writer contrasted the ski harnesses that were developed in western Canada with those in Norway and Quebec, suggesting that western Canadians, possibly in Revelstoke, were innovating: (Skis) made in Norway carry a simple strap for the feet, but the Canadian ski is more elaborately equipped. In the Quebec districts three straps are used and in the West, among the Rockies, local followers of this king of sports have adopted a half shoe arrangement with an extra strap for the heel. The latter, however, is used solely in climbing, the buckle being unfastened before and extended ‘shoot’ (downhill run) is taken.

The article described the single pole that skiers used which was:

…a requisite to safe running.

This is a long, stout stick, usually of hickory. It has a knob at the lower end, and a few inches higher up a strong leather washer.

The pole is to the ski runner what the rudder is to a ship. Both the knob and the washer are held in the snow, the former when the speed is light, and the other in case a strong, quick effort, such as the sudden turning of an obstacle, is desired.

This article and other item in the Kootenay Mail indicate that the Revelstoke club was fairly well known but the club appeared to decline around the early 1900s.

In January 1901, the Kootenay Mail mentioned that “a few members of the ski club have had a couple of runs on the slopes back of the Kootenay (Long’s) Brewery but by March 1904, the newspaper called for a “reorganization” of the ski club to regain its past status. In December 1906, B.R. Atkins offered to start up a ski club if there was sufficient interest, indicating there was no ski club at the time.

In February 1908, the MailHerald reported that “Ski enthusiasts are now to be seen daily on the hill behind Long’s brewery.

Several parties have been formed and it looks as if this old sport once popular in Revelstoke is to be revived.”

In 1909, skiers joined snowshoers on their regular ‘tramps’ as part of the Ski and Snowshoe Club. These tramps took different routes: sometimes up the Jordan Pass to a popular cabin at the canyon; sometimes around Columbia Park and then back through the ‘Old Town’ (Farwell, or lower town); and sometimes on Mount Revelstoke behind Mr. Long’s brewery. Different volunteers would set and lead the

routes. These outings, including trips with refreshments to the Jordan cabin, followed a Snowshoe Club tradition that dated back to at least 1891.

The Revelstoke Ski Club was officially formed in December, 1914 with 30 members, including Sigurd Halverson as president. Gunnarsens and Nelsens were well represented on the executive. Unlike the earlier recreational club, this club was primarily competitive. By 1915 it had 102 members, by 1917 membership reached 300, and it continued to grow.

The ski club’s formation and its organization of Revelstoke’s first annual Winter Carnival less than two months later raised the profile of skiing in Revelstoke.

From rare mentions of skiing in the Mail-Herald in previous years, skiing and ski heroes often adorned front pages from 1915 on in the winter.

The 1915 tournament also put Revelstoke on the skiing map. It greatly impressed visiting judge, Thorlief Iversen, president of the National Ski Association of Canada who declared to the Mail-Herald that he “had been at a great many winter sport carnivals but never saw such a large and enthusiastic crowd turn out. He was never asked as many questions as he was asked in Revelstoke and each one showed an active interest in the sport.” Iversen predicted that Revelstoke could “become the hub and centre of winter sports for all of North America.”

First Tracks, the History of Skiing in Revelstoke, is due out in early December. Pre-orders can be made at the Revelstoke Museum & Archives or by calling 250-837-3067. The book is $40 inc. HST if ordered before Dec. 1, and $45 inc. HST afterwards.

Sensitive, intolerant skin therefore reacts to stimuli that have no effect on other types of skin. This hypersensitivity is a result of a reduction in the skin’s tolerance threshold. The more sensitive the skin, the lower its tolerance threshold.

Two main factors are responsible for this reduction in the tolerance threshold and the subsequent exacerbated sensitivity.

skin has suffered damage to its barrier function. This phenomenon leads to the skin becoming dehydrated and above all the possibility of potentially irritant agents being able to penetrate.

Sensitive, intolerant skin is also characterised by excessive production of free radicals, combined with an abnormally high secretion of cytokines (pro-inflammatory molecules).

There are skin care options out there for even the most sensitive of skins. These products have been developed specifically for those with hypersensitive or allergic skin. They are packaged in 100% airtight hermetically sealed containers and contain 0% preservatives, parabens, fragrance, alcohol, colourant or lanolin. As well as being hypoallergenic they are also non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) and have been thoroughly tested on allergic and atopic skin (eczema and dermatitis).

and recommended by dermatologists for those with intolerant skin. One of these lines is the Toleriane line made by la Roche-Posay. The Toleriane line consists of a make-up remover (which comes in sterile single dose packaging), cleanser, 3 moisturizers (one for dry skin, one for normal combination skin, and one for oily combination skin) and their 0% ultra-intense soothing care lotion.

The other line is the Skin Recovery line made by Avene.

Not quite as extensive, this line contains an extremely gentle cleansing lotion and 2 moisturizers (one for normal combination skin and one for dry skin). We carry testers and samples of most of these products. If you would like to try something that could work for you come in and try a sample.

Lives of Indian immigrants explored at multicultural film night MELISSA JAMESON Special to the Revelstoke Times Review

A small but engaged group met on Wednesday night to watch the Scattering of Seeds episode Passage from India, the fifth offering of the Revelstoke Multicultural Society’s Immigrant Film Night series.

The event, held at Okanagan College, honoured Revelstoke residents who immigrated from India, or whose family immigrated in the past. A panel of guest speakers engaged the audience with stories about their experiences with immigration to Canada and their respective journeys to Revelstoke.

Among those sharing their experiences were Jag Sanghera, Matt Singh, Harmon Dhanoa, and Satish Shonek.

While each of the men’s stories differed slightly, they all spoke about the discrimination they experienced at some point. Singh, who was barely a year old when his family immigrated in 1965, recalls that

at first his family was very well accepted in Revelstoke.

“My mom played sitar, which was really popular at the time, and so she’d get asked to play. Then in the mid-70s it got bad. There was quite a bit of racism. All of a sudden you started hearing derogatory terms,” said Singh.

Dhanoa, too experienced discrimination, although this was much more recent as he immigrated to Canada in 2003.

“When I came to Canada in 2003 I thought, ‘this shouldn’t be so bad’,” said Dhanoa.

Relatives of Dhanoa had purchased a gas station near Red Deer and that is where he worked when he first came to Canada.

One morning while opening the gas station, Dhanoa noticed graffiti painted all over the propane tanks, the gas pumps and the building.

“At the time I was thinking ‘Paki, is only for Pakistan’,” said Dhanoa, who was quickly informed that the derogatory remark was also meant

towards Indians.

It was a shocking experience for Dhanoa, but from the experience he learned that people, too, can be helpful.

“People came and helped to clean it up,” he said. “There was an article in the paper as well. I saw that there were two different types of people.”

Shonek, said that when he came to Canada in 1974, he was not aware of the discrimination that existed.

“I wasn’t sure what to expect.

There was no publicity to find out if anything (was going) on in Canada.

I had no expectation,” said Shonek.

BR Whalen, chair person of the Revelstoke Multicultural Society said that while the intent is not to make discrimination the focus of the Immigrant Film Nights, it is important to acknowledge the discrimination experienced by immigrants in our community.

“We need to do this in order to start to heal,” said BR. The next Immigrant Film Night

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Grizzlies go undefeated on weekend ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Grizzlies enjoyed their best weekend of the season, with back-to-back wins over the Chase Heat followed by a tie against the Sicamous Eagles.

On Friday, the Grizzlies travelled to Chase to start itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekend against the Heat. Taylor Jordan got Chase on the board first, scoring at 13:21 of the first. Revelstoke responded with two goals before the period was done. First, Brayden Beckley was set up by Austin Donaldson on the power play at 4:17, before Donaldson scored one himself with 15 seconds to go in the frame.

Conner Venne tied the game for Chase with a power play goal at 7:41 of the second, assisted

by Shayne Woodland and Revelstoke product Aiden SilzerHooker. Once again, Revelstoke responded, with two goals late in

the period from Tyler Reay and Dylan Ossman.

Spencer Samuel made it 5-2 Revelstoke just over two minutes into the third period. The game would end 5-3. Aaron Brandoli made 28 saves in the win.

On Saturday, both teams faced off again in Revelstoke. Ossman scored twice and Conrad McMillan made 33 saves in a 4-0 Grizzlies win.

Ossman got Revelstoke on the board at 4:17 of the first when he was set up by Donaldson. Samuel made it 2-0 five minutes into the second when Devon Hascarl set him up in front for a goal. Donaldson and Ossman combined again with six seconds left in the second to make it 3-0.

Hascarl would cement Revelstokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win with a great individual effort only 51 seconds into the third. He beat a Chase defenceman wide before roofing a backhand over the blocker of Chase

goalie Jacob Mattes.

McMillan stood tall in nets, flashing a great glove hand to preserve his shutout and his first win of the season.

On Sunday, the Grizzlies went to Sicamous for an afternoon tilt against the Eagles. The teams had played three one-goal games already this year and Sunday was no exception. Beckley and Reay scored 50 seconds apart late in the first period to give Revelstoke a 2-0 lead after one.

Following a scoreless second, the Eagles equalled the score with goals from Nicholas Astasiewicz and Matt Reed in the third.

Overtime solved nothing and Revelstoke returned home with a 2-2 draw.

This weekend the Grizzlies travel to Osoyoos to take on the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference leading Coyotes. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next home game is Friday, Oct. 26, against the Coyotes.

Health & Wellness fair focuses on physical and mental well-being

There will be yoga demonstrations at the health and wellness fair this Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review file photo Sunday.

ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Health and wellness is about more than just physical well being, it’s about mental health too, and that will be a key component of the Community Connections Health and Wellness Fair this Sunday.

“When people think of health and wellness, they think of physical wellness and they’re pretty physically oriented,” said Laura Kanik, the fair’s organizer. “We want to acknowledge that wellness isn’t just about your phys-

ical body, it’s about your mental health and emotional health and building that and recognizing those providers in our community who provide services for all different kinds of wellness.”

The Health & Wellness Fair takes place this Sunday, Oct. 21, at the community centre from 12-3 p.m.

The fair is bringing together 40 businesses, government agencies and other organizations that focus on the area of health and wellness. “We are actually maxed out,” said Kanik.

The businesses and organiza-

tions involved include yoga studios, massage therapists, dance studios, naturopaths, gyms, day spas, sports clubs and more. Interior Health, the Canadian Mental Health Association and the Ministry of Children and Family Development will be on hand to provide mental health services.

There will also be advisors such as victim services, gambling support, financial advisors and more.

“The idea is that Community Connections is wanting to promote all different kinds of health and wellness,” said Kanik. “We’ve noticed as we’ve been compiling the list that there’s a lot of small businesses in Revelstoke. Some are established and some are pretty new. We want to give them some exposure and make people aware of everything that’s available here.”

Throughout the afternoon instructors from different businesses will be providing free demonstration classes, including yoga, dance and meditation.

“Businesses and instructors can show their style and what they do and people can try things out for free,” said Kanik.

Doug Egan, a project manager at Community Connections, said there will also be a focus on mind and body integration and businesses and activities that deal with both. “Having people under-

Looking for work

stand there’s nutritional things, there’s things you can do to take care of yourself and integrate the whole mental and physical aspect of living in the community, which I think is good,” he said.

There will also be a kids room on hand and the pool will be free for the afternoon. The Last Drop will be selling food and there are door prizes, including a vacation package from Revelstoke Mountain Resort.

Film fest looks at sustainability Times Review staff

Sustainability is one of the biggest issues of our day. How to create a strong economy that also protects the environment for future generations is a big challenge we all face.

Sustainability is the focus of a new city planning and it will be the focus of the Reel Change Sustainability Film Fest, which comes to the Roxy Theatre this Thursday at 6:30 p.m.

The film fest will present two movies. Switch follows Dr. Scott Tinker as he explores the world’s

Frank Wolf walks the proposed route of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline in the movie On the Line.

Contributed

energy sites from coal to solar to oil to biofuels. He visits some highly restricted sites that have not been shown on film before and talks to leaders of government, industry and academia.

On the Line is about Frank Wolf and Todd McGowan’s 2,400-kilometre journey on the route of Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline from Bruderheim, Alta., to Kitimat, B.C. The filmmakers biked, hiked, rafter and kayaked the entire route, speaking to people along the way to explore the potential impacts of the pipeline.

The festival is put on by the Fresh Outlook Foundation, a Kelowna-based charity that ifsfocused on building sustainable communities. The Reel Change Sustainability Film Fest brings together 10 movies about sustainability issues. The festival, in its fourth year, takes place in Kelowna and Kamloops, and travels to other communities. The goal is to produce behavioural change and inspire people to take action in their lives.

Tickets are $10 and available at Talisman, Wearabouts and the Roxy Theatre.

First Bier & Musik Festival goes off Times Review staff

The first Revelstoke Bier & Music fest delivered on its promises – lots of ale flowing and lots of great music.

The festival took over the Powder Springs, with McGregor’s, the Last Drop and the patio all being

put into use. McGregor’s was turned into a beer hall, where the U-Brew and Mt. Begbie served up the ale while a rotating cast DJs played music and a buffet dinner was served.

In the Last Drop, several bands played throughout the afternoon,

highlighted by local duo 45 Minutes. At night, new local band Classically Spun kicked things off, followed by Nelson’s Vortex and the always fun Shane Philip.

Organizers hope to turn the festival into a major event in the future.

Engineered for the real world.

For a safe and secure ride in snow, ice, slush or whatever the cold weather condition, the Toyo Observe GSi5 will deliver exceptional traction when you need it most.

Designed and tested for our winters, it features the latest developments in sipe technology, an optimized tread pattern combined with Microbit studless tire technology creating a tire you can be confident will get you where you need to go.

Toyo Tires – engineered for the real world.

Ask for details!
