Definitely a work in progress.

That was the appearance of the rutted, rock-strewn road built by BC Hydro to access the Illecillewaet River for dredging in March and April.

Until about a week ago, when Hydro covered the dirt road with a spray coating of hydroseed – the green mixture of grass seed mix and fertilizer you see sprayed on industrial landscaping projects.

There, finished, said the green coating.

You have to walk through the rough road to get to the gravel trail leading to the Mark Kingsbury Memorial Bridge. The roadway winds through the greenbelt down to the river. It’s covered in ruts and rough edges, with cantaloupe-sized rocks scattered here and there at its edges.

‘That’s it?’ was the reaction of one passer-by to the bulldozer trail through the Illecillewaet Greenbelt, a recreation and conservation area popular with walkers, runners, bikers, naturalists and the dog crowd.

Jennifer Walker-Larsen is the BC Hydro spokesperson for the Revelstoke area.

In an email responding to Times Review questions about the aftermath, she confirmed that BC Hydro’s contractor is in fact done.

“The site restoration work has been completed including the permanent access route to the river from the Illecillewaet River dyke,” she wrote in an April 16 email.

“The access route was scarified with heavy equipment to reduce ground compaction and prepare the site for planting.”

She said the hydroseed mix would prevent weed colonization

and erosion.

“Right now the site is rough due to the scarification. It will flatten out naturally over time as it regrows.”

Walker-Larsen explained the road was a “permanent access route” that has been used for previous dredging projects by BC Hydro, the forests ministry and the City of Revelstoke.

Illecillewaet Greenbelt Society treasurer Don Pegues said society members aren’t happy with the result of the clean-up.

“It was quite upsetting. It needs a bit of loving,” Pegues told the Times Review. “Hydro should be looking after this. We had trails down there you could push a chariot along them quite nicely. Now it’s just a rock garden.”

The local conservation group manages a 22-acre parcel located near the Mark Kingsbury Memorial Bridge. They maintain the walking trails to create a conservation-based natural park setting.

Pegues said society members did a site tour with BC Hydro and

City of Revelstoke representatives before the dredging started, and had an expectation things would be sorted out better once it was done.

“My assumption was Hydro was going to come through and make it look pretty. And they didn’t,” he said.

He said he got the impression BC Hydro was “walking away” from the project. “They’re not trying to do anything to rehab the trails down there.”

He disagreed with the BC Hydro spokesperson’s view that the trail would heal over time. He also said high reservoir levels this summer might undo some of the remediation work when newlyseeded areas are flooded.

Pegues said a BC Hydro biologist would be attending an upcoming Illecillewaet Greenbelt Society board meeting, where they would lay out their requests.

He said it wouldn’t take much; a five-person crew with hand tools and gravel making the trails useable again.

After 34 years, superintendent Karen Tierney retires from Parks Canada Times Review staff

Karen Tierney will be retiring as the superintendent of Mt. Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks, after an almost 34-year career with Parks Canada Tierney began her career as a student delivering school programs in Pukaskwa National Park in Northern Ontario. Afterwards her career took her through a variety of marketing, communication and management positions at National Parks in Ontario, at the Ontario Regional Office and at head office.

In 2008 she came to Revelstoke to work as the superintendent as the Mount Revelstoke and

Glacier National Parks. She led the development of a management plan for the two parks and helped organizing a number of significant events, including the 100th anniversary of the 1910 Rogers Pass avalanche that killed 58 people and the 125th anniversary of Glacier National Park in 2011.

Tierney’s last day is May 24, 2013. Brenda Demone will be taking over as acting-superintendent while Parks Canada searches for a full-time replacement.

Revelstoke tradition Spring Fling marches home in May Interior pipe bands bring sound, colour and tradition home for weekend of fun and competition Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

It all started back in 1975.

Revelstoke was booming with an influx of workers on the Revelstoke Dam, which continued to ramp up.

Revelstoke had an active Highland Dance scene and a small band – two pipers, two side drummers and a bass.

Current Revelstoke Highlanders Pipe Major Archie McConnachie said the group decided to build the band, finding and training pipers from amongst the many newcomers to town.

By 1978 they had 22 members and held their first annual Spring Fling, a weekend show that attracted pipe bands from across the Interior and beyond.

The tradition has continued since then – but the Spring Fling began rotating between participating communities in the 1980s.

It was last hosted in Revelstoke in 2003. “[The Spring Fling] is a fun thing, but over time it has actually improved us,” McConnachie said.

The event starts on Saturday, May 4, with a parade at 12 noon down Mackenzie Avenue to Queen Elizabeth Park.

The main competition takes place in Queen Elizabeth Park.

This includes mass band tunes including Scotland the Brave, Green Hills, Bonnie Dundee, Steamboat and more.

Community members are welcome to the dinner performances, which include skits, dance competitions and live music by the Maritime Kitchen Party. The dinner at the Revelstoke Community Centre ($30) starts at 5 p.m.

Tickets are available at the community centre.

The Céilidh – a traditonal Gaelic social gathering – starts at 9 p.m. and costs $5.

The Revelstoke School District will be looking to preseve the old Mountain View School when it sells the old site.

School district developing plans for future of Mountain View Elementary site ALEX COOPER

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke School District has hired two consultants as it prepares to sell off the old Mountain View Elementary site, with an aim of preserving the historic school building and some green space on the location.

The future of the 100-year-old school building is surely going to be of interest to the community.

Graham Farstad, a planner with the Arlington Group, and Donald Luxton, an expert on heritage preservation, will be consulting with the community to create re-development plans for the site.

For Luxton, this will mean figuring out ways to turn an old school into something else while preserving its look and character.

“Mountain View is a good example of a building that could be pretty adaptable because it has good high ceilings, big windows and large open spaces,” he said.

“It may lend itself to a variety of purposes and that would be part of this exploration.”

This will mean looking at the building’s condition, its mechanical systems, electrical work, whether or not it’s up to code and more.

land use is designated as T5 Open, which allows for a variety of land uses, from high density residential to retail to office space.

Whatever plans are developed, they will be subject to an open house at some point in the future.

The goal is to create a land-use plan that would preserve the old school before selling the land.

“If you have some objectives to be achieved, you would have to narrow the concept so they wouldn’t be able to tear the building down the day after [a developer] acquires it,” said Farstad.

“And ensure the resulting landuses are in keeping with what vision is established as a result of the consultation process.”

The Revelstoke School District is expected to raise $2.4 million from the sale of old schools as part of the contract to build the two new schools in the community. It has begun the process of having the Big Eddy Elementary site rezoned as residential and intends to sub-divide that property into several lots.

Disposal of Mount Begbie Elementary – the third property the board intends on selling – will be dealt with after a plan is created for Mountain View Elementary.

Farstad will be looking at the broader school site and will be looking at land-use plans that will incorporate the old school and also fit the character of the surrounding neighbourhood. This could involve residential use, but could also include commercial or institutional uses as well, he said.

“It’s a well serviced site,” he said. “I think there’s lots of opportunities that could provide a win-win scenario, and I think that’s probably the key message that we’re hoping to achieve through this process.”

The centre-piece of the site is the old school – the additions would likely be torn down and the original building preserved. Luxton said he would look at ways of preserving the authenticity of the building while coming up with uses that would best fit.

“If it’s a conservation project, that’s what we’re trying to do, we’re trying to conserve materials and character and heritage value,” he said. “We’ll look at use that is a good fit and is least intrusive on the building.”

The City of Revelstoke’s planning department has also shown interest in the future of the site and has created its own conceptual drawings for the site. The

A 79-year-old male was found dead in a parked vehicle on First Street West last week in an incident the RCMP is saying is not suspicious.

RCMP, Revelstoke Fire Rescue and BC Ambulance were all called to the scene on the

400 block of First Street West at around 3 p.m. after an elderly man was seen inside a parked vehicle with the engine running.

Rescue personnel were unsuccessful at reviving the man and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

RCMP Cpl. Thomas Blakney said the death was most likely

due to natural causes. It was not being considered a suicide. Due to the public nature of the incident – right outside Emo’s Restaurant – and to help quell any rumours, the RCMP chose to report on the death.

The victim’s identity has not been released.

Candidates converge on Revelstoke as campaign enters week two “Definitely in this local area of Kimberley jobs are a big deal and making it possible for businesses to succeed here. I’m still get familiar with what the local issues are elsewhere in the riding but I imagine as small rural communities a lot of us are dealing with the same issues around making sure, not that’s a good place to live – these are great places to live – but that it’s possible for people to move here and thrive here and have jobs that enable to support their family and have a quality of life and keep them here.

“That’s where I think the Green plat-

form has quite a lot of information and ideas around supporting small businesses, especially green businesses, socially oriented businesses, cooperatives. Policies around transportation as well. Transportation is a different issue in a rural area where its not about commuting but about getting around easily.

“I’m very impressed with the depth of the platform around small businesses and co-operatives, around here its something that has a lot of traction.

People are interested in working cooperatively and sourcing the stuff they eat co-operatively.”

Royal Canadian Legion Branch #46 Revelstoke With the provincial election campaign underway, political signs have popped up around Revelstoke. The intersection of Fourth Street, Victoria Road and Townley Street is an especially popular spot, with incumbent NDP Norm Macdonald and his closest competitor, Liberal Doug Clovechok, jockeying for position.

TACKY TOURIST SPRING FLING

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Doug Clovechok spent the past week in Revelstoke, and his fellow candidates to represent Columbia River–Revelstoke in the British Columbia legislature followed him on the weekend as the provincial election campaign ended its first week.

Clovechok, who is running for the Liberals showed up in Revelstoke to launch his campaign last Tuesday, Apr. 16, and he stayed right through until Monday’s debates, knocking on doors, and attending meetings and fundraisers along the way.

The remaining candidates – NDP incumbent Norm Macdonald, Conservative Earl Olsen and Green Party candidate Laurel Ralston – all arrived on the weekend to spend some time before the debates, one hosted by the Times Review on StokeFM and the other by the Chamber of Commerce at the community centre. Both debates were after press time.

Even with the rise of social media, it’s been an old fashioned, door-knocking affair so far.

Ralston was the latest candidate to declare her candidacy for the seat held by Macdonald. A musician and writer by profession, she is also the president of the Kimberley Arts Council and has worked as an outreach co-ordinator for the environmental group Wildsight.

She said she was running because she wanted the Green Party to be represented in this riding during the campaign.

“The Green Party’s principles really speak to me, they’re values that I share and I think they’re a very forward looking party and a party that I’d like to see have a larger voice in the legislature,” she said in an interview last week. *** With the election three weeks away, the Times Review has started asking candidates about pressing issues. This week, we asked what they would do to support small businesses.

Norm Macdonald, NDP “The most important part for

the province, especially in terms of what we’ve seen in the last four years, is to be predictable and provide a predictable tax regime. The introduction of the HST and its extended withdrawal obviously caused disruption at a time when the local economy was vulnerable anyway.

“You have to really lay out exactly what you’re going to be doing if you’re seeking to be the government in the next four years, which is why the first thing we did is lay out a fiscal framework for any tax increases we’ve been suggesting.”

He pointed out the proposed increasing in the corporate tax rate from 11 to 12 per cent, a re-introduction of the capital tax on banks, and an increase in the personal income tax rate on people making more than $250,000.

“Small business won’t and, I would say, the vast majority of individuals in Revelstoke won’t be impacted by that at all. It’s just the predictability.”

He also pointed to the challenges businesses face finding skilled workers.

“The money that we have will be put towards skills training, will be put towards education and post secondary. As I said, none of these will solve every problem but what we’re being told by the major companies we’re talking to and business groups is skills training is a priority for them and I’m hearing that in Revelstoke, Golden and Invermere. We have to be part of that.

“I also think that having services available to us in rural communities is important. We need to build a strong community and these are part of what a business needs to be successful.”

Doug Clovechok, Liberal “I completely and totally understand small business because I was a small business owner in this riding. I owned a coffee shop in Fairmont Hot Springs.

“One of the things small businesses have asked us, and if you look at the BC Chamber of Commerce, business is asking us to do

a whole bunch of things. They’re asking us first of all to deal with the deficits, to make sure we pay down our debt. We’ve got a plan to do that, to pay down our debt within 15 years.”

He cited the importance of maintaining a balanced budget and a good credit rating to keep interest rates low and keep a stable environment for busines.

“Here’s what we’re going to do for small business. Taxes for small business is a killer. We’ve committed to reduce taxes by about 40 per cent by 2017, which will take that business tax rate from 2.5 per cent to 1.5 per cent. Taxes, we have to keep taxes low for small business.

“We have to make sure we control regulations. We have to make sure we stop over-regulating.

Small businesses are very prone to every regulative change and it can hurt their business, so less red tape.

“It all goes back to our jobs plan. We’re going to create an environment for small business and large business and medium sized business so we can grown jobs. The only way we can grow jobs is to have a good solid jobs plan and a good solid growth plan and that includes deficit reduction, balanced budgets and controlled spending.”

Earl Olsen, Conservative “I think small business is the generator of our economy. They drive everything. If we don’t support them, it’s terrible. It’s a terrible thing to tax them, burden them with legislative requirements, forms, bureaucracy.

“The whole way the HST got handled, the cost got dumped back on them. As a government we have to say this is where the jobs come from. This is where we have to support people, we have to make it reasonable for people to do their day-to-day activities and make a profit...

“We need not to impede their businesses so whatever policies you can create to do that. Whatever you can do to reduce red tape and economic cost, I would put my efforts to.”

Revelstoke marks B.C. Prevention of Violence Against Women Week Prevention of Violence Against Women Week began on Sunday, April 14 and continued until this Saturday, April 20. This week is an opportunity to acknowledge that violence against women has serious adverse physical, psychological, sexual, financial and cultural impacts on women, children, families and communities.

This week also provides the opportunity to let women know they are not alone, and that help and support are available to women who are victims of all types of violence.

All of us at the Revelstoke Wom-

en’s Shelter Society believe that violence against women is not acceptable in Revelstoke or indeed anywhere, and that all women have the right to feel safe and to live free from violence. Over the last few years, we have housed as many as 94 women and 33 children in one year. We have been at capacity or over 105 times in a year.

Each of these statistics represents someone’s mother, wife, sister, daughter, granddaughter, grandmother, aunt, niece, friend or neighbour. Each of these statistics represents someone in this community that has

been impacted by violence. The reality is that violence does exist in Revelstoke.

If you or any woman you know is being impacted by violence, please encourage her to call our crisis line at 250-837-1111.

We are here to help. Together we can make our community safer and promote the clear message that violence and abuse in any form will not be tolerated.

Editor, The problem with politics?

Here we are, like it or not, an election looming. The public has great cynicism and occasional despair when we consider our options. After all it is not about us and what we want; the political process and governance is captured by a tiny fraction of citizens and their representatives, in total about two per cent of Canadians belong to or are active in political parties, yet this small group largely sets the agenda for and the tone of politics and decisionmaking. Those in power or seeking it seem to be relatively satisfied with this arrangement perhaps most Canadians are not, we can only hope.

We lavish on our children the directions for social conformity and civility, and then we allow our leaders to behave in a highly public and highly dysfunctional manner.

The media loves it, it is their bread and butter. One key problem, old men and most

L ET T E R S importantly the outdated, calcified ideas of old men; age may be an indicator but it is not the definer here. Young men and woman that act, behave and think like old men serve us no better.

To the young set some advice. If you want change, get involved but not on the terms the current politics would dictate. Change the thinking. Ask questions about honesty, compassion, honour, civility, equality, fairness and justice. These are not political terms or ideas they are societal concepts that indicate whether the person in power believes in all of us or just their friends and allies.

Look your candidate or elected representative in the eye, not the iPhone, and see if they squirm or can fix your gaze. Deception is almost impossible to shield face to face, many politicians only surround them-

selves with supporters so rarely get this test.

If you really wish to see change, here is some counterintuitive advice, remember that two per cent. Join a political party you do not support, encourage friends to do the same so it won’t be so lonely. This is both daring and subversive; change from the inside is always more effective and enduring than battling at the ramparts.

In the end recognize that politics is broken and may never be fixed. Remember also that it is ultimately the public, not the politicians or politically connected, that can change things or that will sit on their hands and complain. That is how we got here to begin with; the public trusted others to do our job in a democratic and civil society.

B.C. election issue: Post-secondary education schools and employers. Their platform also promises to develop “relevant training programs” for B.C. residents to work in the LNG industry.

• The B.C. Conservatives promise to “increase training and apprenticeships in the trades and technical sector,” but don’t specify how. They also promise to increase on-line learning capabilities in colleges and technical institutes, and give qualified B.C.

Tom Fletcher Black Press

Parties in the May 14 B.C. election have highlighted their commitments to improve postsecondary skills training. The province faces a wave of baby boomer retirements, shortages in trades and industrial jobs, an increase in temporary foreign workers and under-employment of some university graduates.

Trades and apprenticeship training is a major point of dispute. The B.C. Liberal-created Industry Trade Authority has increased apprentices from 16,000 in 2001 to 34,000, but the NDP counters that percentage completion rates have declined.

Independent Contractors and Businesses Association president Phil Hochstein argues that with many more young people in the apprenticeship system, the number of graduates is at a record level.

Platform highlights: • The B.C. NDP’s biggest commitment is $100 million for a post-secondary student grant program, to be funded by a capital tax on large financial institutions. NDP leader Adrian Dix also promises $40 million new

students priority for admission to the province’s post-secondary institutions.

• The B.C. Green Party promises to eliminate interest on student debt over five years, “immediately” cut tuition by 20 per cent, create a grant program for low-income students, increase core funding for colleges and universities by $200 million and provide training for laid-off workers.

The NDP notes that while the B.C. Liberal government touts its jobs plan in ads, its February budget projects a $42 million cut to the advanced education ministry over three years.

• The B.C. Liberals highlight a $75 million commitment for upgrading training facilities and equipment, on top of the $500 million annual skills training budget.

Solving the ‘mystery of youth engagement’ Taryn Walker Stoke youth network

A lot of adults have been asking the same question lately: “How do we engage youth?” It’s like we are a mysterious species and you are looking for the correct type of bait to lure us into a trap. But being fellow human beings, we out-smarted the ‘free pizza’ trick long ago.

There is no simple strategy to get youth to become engaged. Given enough food and water, in a few years we will grow to be adults, and like adults, we generally do what we are passionate about.

My first step down the road of becoming an ‘engaged youth’ started in 2010, when I was accepted

as a volunteer on to the Columbia Basin Trust’s (CBT) Youth Advisory Committee. The CBT Youth Advisory Committee is a group of 12 youth aged 15–29 who meet every two months. The committee adjudicates the Youth Grants Program for CBT as well as provides advice to CBT on many different issues in the Columbia Basin. The Youth Advisory Committee has provided me with some extraordinary networking and learning opportunities that have proven to be extremely useful in other aspects of my life. Being on the committee has given me the chance to learn about major issues in the region, give input on youth related topics and help to make other opportuni-

Revelstoke volunteers!

cFDc Volunteer committee

Can you imagine what Revelstoke would be like if no one volunteered? Just think about it for a moment. Think about a community without all the volunteer-based clubs, teams, groups, organizations, non-profits, events, committees, and … the list goes on. One hesitates to even go there. Fortunately for all of us, Revelstoke (and area) has a history of volunteerism that is still going strong. In both 2007 and 2012 Community Surveys, 77 per cent of respondents said they were members of “a group, club or organization in Revelstoke such as recreation/sports, artistic/craft/hobby, business/work-related, educational, community service, spiritual or cultural groups.” The community sur-

vey also asked “Do you volunteer?”

In 2007, about 64 per cent said yes, compared to 65 per cent in 2012.

After much research, we determined that this translates into about 145 community organizations and (by our best estimate) an astounding 4,000 volunteers.

The personal benefits of volunteerism are numerous. It is a way to meet new people, network and gain connections, boost your resume, learn new skills, gain confidence and a sense of achievement. In fact, there’s even research that shows that people who volunteer are generally healthier, leading to the adage ‘feel good by doing good.’

Often volunteering can be a bridge to employment. For new residents, it’s a great way to establish yourself in the community.

Inevitably, we think about the bigger picture. When we think

ties for youth a reality. In my eyes, these benefits are worth far more than any sum of cash.

This brings me back the original question: “How do we engage youth?” In order for youth to want to volunteer and become engaged they need to feel like what they are doing is meaningful and valued.

This is a major component in any volunteer work that I do.

Last spring as a part of a volunteer group of youth, I helped create the Stoke Youth Network. The purpose of the Stoke Youth Network is to link the youth of Revelstoke to the opportunities our community has to offer and beyond, as well as offering support and resources for youth ideas and projects. We have about volunteers and all the work they do, things like the ‘hidden economy’ or the community benefits of strong social networks and diverse opportunities come to mind. But what it really boils down to is that volunteerism is the lifeblood of a community. It can start with a group of friends with a common interest or a handful of parents and their kids. Then more people are recruited and the need for some sort of structure arises. Perhaps the club is given a name or a non-profit is formed. An idea or passion grows and becomes a reality.

Volunteering and the community benefits can take many forms.

Remember the Emergency Services Food Drive last fall where a group of volunteers came together and was able to generate 4.5 tonnes of food and over $6,000 in donations?

Do you realize that about 75 volunteers sit on city committees, providing input and guidance on a regular basis to the City of Revelstoke

just recently released a Youth Survival Guide and launched our new website, www.stokeyouthnetwork. ca. I am currently sitting on the Stoke Youth Network Executive Committee, which advises the Network and I’m also part of the Stoke Youth Network Media Team. By being part of the Network, I’ve had many different opportunities to volunteer at events, and meet new people in our community. The Stoke Youth Network has also given me the chance to build on my skills as a photographer, which has been wonderful since photography is something I’m really passionate about. I love being involved with the Stoke Youth Network because I’m passionate about what it stands for and

I’m exited about its projects and future goals. This is the main reason I continue to volunteer for the network.

When looking at youth engagement overall, if youth aren’t passionate or excited about the program or project being targeted at them, it probably won’t go over well. This is why I am such a fan of ‘for youth, by youth’ projects, which the Stoke Youth Network is a great example of.

So what is the answer to ‘the mystery of youth engagement?’

The answer is: (ideally) ‘for youth, by youth’ projects and opportunities that are meaningful, valued and give youth something to be excited and passionate about. This will not only give youth a reason to volunteer but help create an environment where youth will want to volunteer.

on everything from heritage to economic development?

Further, have you ever thought about those who go above and beyond the call of duty at work?

There is a fine line that blurs

and ‘work’ becomes ‘volunteer’ because people love what they do, or they see a need and step in to fill it. Teachers are an excellent exam-

Volunteers make Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store a successful enterprise Margaret Zielonka

revelstoke Hospital auxiliary Society

Each spring the volunteers of the Revelstoke Hospital Auxiliary celebrate a customer appreciation day with free hot dogs, cake and juice and a half price day at the Thrift Store as a way of saying thank you to all their customers and donors.

The 84 members of the auxiliary have a proud history of service to the Queen Victoria Hospital going way back to 1901 when the first cottage hospital came into being. Since then our mandate has expanded to include not only the Queen Victoria Hospital and Mount Cartier Court, but health care in the whole community, supporting Community Connections Food Bank, highway rescue, the SAFER clinic and other health-related organizations.

The thrift store is our main fundraiser. Over the

years, the thrift store business has grown to meet the demand of our customers. Not that long ago the thrift store was only open a couple of days a week, and over the years has changed location numerous times.

Today, the society owns both land and building and is open six days a week. We are completely dependent on our volunteers. Despite the fact that it is challenging to juggle the busy schedule to cover operating hours, it is a rare event that the shop does not open due to lack of volunteers.

There are many different ways a new volunteer may choose to help out. There is a lot of work to be done before a donated item is put out for sale. Clothing books, dishes, electronics, toys all have to be sorted and checked to make sure they are in suitable condition for sale. Items need to be cleaned, priced and placed in the store before finally being sold. There is no set schedule

and volunteers can come in at any time that suits their lifestyle.

New volunteers are always welcome. The criterion for becoming a member of the auxiliary includes a yearly

membership fee of $10, a criminal record check and a reference letter from another member.

Many volunteers find a job in the store that they enjoy. It may be testing electronics or

cleaning and repairing jewellery or working behind the counter serving our customers.

However, one thing we will guarantee, it will be rewarding and it will be fun.

Season plans include new equipment shed, parking lot, rehab of logged areas and new trails at Mount Macpherson aaron orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Cycling Association’s (RCA) cross-country trail held their first volunteer trail-building session at the Mount Macpherson trails this past weekend, continuing on the successes of 2012.

“We ended up with about 450 hours of volunteer work,” said RCA volunteer Richard Brittin about the cross-country trail parties last season.

“What we find is that people become owners and stewards of the trail when people recognize what goes into building the trails,” Brittin said.

One of the first orders of business this season is rehabilitation following logging in the Begbie Bench area over the winter, including sections of the the Hemlock Groove and Quarry trails. The RCA has been working with representatives of Stella-Jones, the tenure holder that conducted the logging.

Trail maintenance is a big part of trail crew work. Brittin said maintaining the character of the trails and erosion control are key objectives.

The club also plans to build a new parking lot this summer. It will be located just of Highway 23 at Beaver Lake Road.

The RCA has purchased all the hand tools used for trail maintenance.

Funding from the CBT allowing the RCA to build an equipment shed at the Nordic Lodge, making logistics of trail maintenance and building days much easier because organizers don’t have to ferry the equipment around.

Bring sturdy footwear, gloves, drinking

About 25 volunteers helped out with clean up of the Hemlock Groove trail on April 21.

The trail was affected by logging this past winter and the RCA cross-country trail team was out fixing it up. There are several more volunteer trail maintenance and trail building events coming up this spring and summer and you’re welcome to take part.

water and something to eat. “Most people find it quite enjoyable,” Brittin said.

The Sunday morning cross-country trail maintenance days are planned for April 21, May 19, June 16, July 14, August 11 and September 15. Work parties meet at the Macpherson Nordic Lodge at 8:30 a.m before heading out to the work sites. Work parties run until about 12:30 p.m. Most of

the work will be on the Macpherson trail network.

Wednesday night maintenance evenings will start in May and go every two weeks, alternating with the weeks of the Wednesday night Toonie mountain bike race series.

Seniors volunteer coordinator blown away by generosity of time and spirit I acknowledge and thank all the volunteers involved with my programs and the seniors activity centre. Their kindhearted spirits and the gift of their time continue to make these programs available to the people of our community and most importantly, it warms my heart to know that people still care enough to help not only their neighbours and friends, but strangers in need as well.

Jean Pedersen

revelstoke seniors Volunteer Coordinator

The volunteers of Revelstoke never cease to amaze me with their ability to give of their time and their hearts to others in our community. As a volunteer coordinator in our community I am involved with volunteers on a day to day basis and am consistently blown away by their generosity of time and spirit. The programs I coordinate through the Revelstoke Seniors Centre are a shining example of what volunteerism is all about.

Our 18 volunteer medical transportation drivers are kept extremely busy these days making sure that our clients can meet their medical needs by driving those, who have no other options, to out of town medical specialist appointments or for medical testing. These drivers give their time and the use of their vehicles to ensure the people in our community have every opportunity for timely and consistent health care.

We also have seven volunteers with our Helping Hands Home Services program.

These volunteers are willing to assist disabled or elderly clients – who can’t afford to pay for these services – with basic snow removal and yard maintenance needs.

These volunteers make sure our clients have safe entry and exit to their homes in winter and pride in their yards during the summer. It also gives them the ability to stay in their homes as long as possible.

We salute the many

Volunteers in our Community!

Your hard work and dedication is much appreciated.

The Helping Hands Shopping Program has 24 volunteers who assist infirm or housebound individuals with their shopping needs should they not be able to get to the grocery store themselves, either on a permanent or temporary basis. The nutritional needs of the homebound are met by these caring volunteers.

Presently, we have nine active volunteer computer tutors who share their knowledge and experience of the ever-changing computer technology with members of the seniors association. Our volunteers enjoy helping our seniors to get the most out of

their computers, laptops and tablets.

These programs that I coordinate host, at present, 58 volunteers and although some of them are members of the seniors association, many are people of all ages from our community. The seniors association itself is run entirely by volunteers and it is very heartwarming to know that so many people give of their time to make the local seniors activity centre such a vibrant, active and vital place in our community. These volunteers give seniors in Revelstoke the opportunity to maintain a very active, independent and social lifestyle.

Keeping the Revelstoke Railway Museum on track MiChelle Cole

revelstoke railway Museum

There’s volunteering and then there is leaving a legacy. At the Revelstoke Railway Museum we have been fortunate to have dedicated volunteers step up to many numerous tasks and projects. The past year has been no exception. In fact, the past year has been exceptional — exceptional because in the face of a year of transition our board members buckled down and filled the void. The tragic passing of two dedicated board members as well as the amicable decision of our executive director to move translated into a challenging year for the Railway Museum. Who are these six champion volunteers?

Dean Handley, President of the Board, not only filled the shoes of David Johnson this year but also served as President for over six years at other times in the history of the Revelstoke Heritage Railway Society (1989). Bringing the #5468 Steam Engine from Montreal to Revelstoke in 1993, Dean contributed to the team effort in this project of a life-

time experience.

Roger Eddy always wanted to be an engineer growing up on the farm in Saskatchewan. Although he was not able to be an engineer he is starting his third year as a board member, this year as VicePresident. Roger’s knowledge of rail history has been an asset as well as his passion for bringing on new board members.

Don Hawker’s involvement began long before the seventeen years he has served as a board trustee. Part of the #5468 relocation team, Don has continued to be involved as the building and maintenance committee chair. Don’s interest includes the museum in general plus putting the finishing touches on the David W. Johnson Yard.

Pam Doyle enjoys the people side of the Railway Museum. Beginning her third year as a trustee of the board, Pam has been valuable in her support of human resources. Pam’s present project is the initiative to move the plaque commemorating explorer Walter Moberly.

George Hopkins became a board member three years ago when Ann Mer-

ritt cornered him in the gift shop, encouraging him to step up his level of volunteerism. Since 2000, George has been a frequent volunteer, ranging from being the official Railway Days photographer to participating on the programs and exhibits committee.

Darryl Willoughby has been involved since the beginning! Advising on the finances for building the museum, Darryl continues to take care of the numbers as the treasurer. Darryl’s participation on the board of trustees began in the mid 1990s. In addition to keeping the museum operational Darryl’s interest includes sourcing a new stream of income to secure this community legacy.

What happens when volunteerism is a success? The credit often goes to everyone but the volunteers. In the case of the Revelstoke Railway Museum we have become “one of the best small railway museums in Canada” and it is forgotten that we are a not-for-profit society run by volunteers. Our volunteer heart, these champions and others, continue to keep the legacy alive.

Nominate an outstanding volunteer!

The volunteer can be any age and their contribution must be significant by regularly lending a helping hand or having made a major impact on a community activity.

Nomination forms can be picked up at Chamber of Commerce reception (204 Campbell Avenue), the Community Centre or requested via email to: volunteer@revelstokecf.com.

Deadline is August 31, 2013.

Volunteer ESL tutoring is rewarding for tutors and learners BR Whalen

Okanagan College eSl Settlement and assistance Program

One feels fortunate to be part of a program that consists of caring and generous volunteers, and eager and appreciative learners.

The English as a Second Language Settlement Assistance Program (ESLSAP) at Okanagan College is mostly an adult volunteer tutoring program that works with immigrants who want to improve their English language skills, learn about Canadian culture and become more a part of our community.

Steve Jung and his wife Maimi Im moved to Revelstoke from South Korea a few years ago.

They were eager to improve their English skills, make friends and become a part of the community.

Revelstoke does not have the English language services that are available in large cities.

Steve wrote, “When I first came to Revelstoke, I did not know what was waiting for my new life with my wife, Maimi. It is sure, we had to speak English wherever we wanted to go for shopping, working and travelling. As now, there is ESL class only once a week. That means it is not enough to learn and practice English for people like me. Working with a volunteer ESL tutor is my first step to learn-

ing English. Elaine is my tutor. We have known each other for almost three years. That she has helped me to do a lot of things as a friend as well. We always try to share information from the newspaper about what happened in Revelstoke. She has helped connect me to people to find a new job. Before Elaine, John Netzel was my tutor for one year. It’s not easy to be a volunteer, but Elaine and John are different. They are the best friends I have in Canada.”

Steve’s tutor Elaine Baird has enjoyed her experience as a volunteer. According to Elaine, “Steve works hard to improve his English. He often asks me about complicated English words that aren’t used in casual conversation, for example, emancipation, vaunt, unintentionally. I enjoy the challenge of thinking about why he’s chosen certain words and how to explain/demonstrate their use to him. Our tutor sessions are fun for both of us, and we laugh a lot. Through Steve I have met his wife and other members of his family. Last year, I had the pleasure of travelling to Seoul with my son. While there Steve’s sister-inlaw took us under her wing and showed us some of the finer features of Korean culture. Tutoring Steve has enriched my life in many ways.”

Another one of our many val-

ued volunteers is Claudette Kendel. Claudette tutors Steve’s wife, Maimi. Claudette shares, “Working as a volunteer tutor with Maimi is very gratifying. In spite of being a busy young mother, she makes time to get her assignments done. She’s always willing to try new activities and techniques to enhance her English. At the end of every single tutoring session, she

expresses her gratitude by saying, ‘Thank you for today, Claudette.’

By spending time with Maimi, I am given the opportunity to experience Korean culture first hand.

We’ve discovered a common love for cooking and enjoy trying each other’s foods. Over the past year and a half, we have become friends who are learning from each other.”

To reliably dedicate two hours

a week to meet with a newcomer during the school year takes commitment, but the dedication comes with rewards for both the tutors and the learners. If you have time to dedicate, an interest in other cultures and a love of teaching, we are always looking to add new volunteers to our team. Please contact us at Okanagan College if you would like more information.

Volunteers give Community Connections Food Bank a hand up Patti laRSOn

Community Connections Food Bank

Community Connections Food Bank feeds real people throughout the year: newborn babies, children, working parents, single moms and dads, seniors taken ill, and many who are on disability and unable to work.

Thankfully, due to the support of our volunteers, the food bank is a source of hope for the many that use it. As one former volunteer explained: “I am a client and volunteer of the food bank. I had to start using the food bank to make ends meet.

I feel very welcome and feel really blessed to have the support of the food bank.” It takes 15 to 20 volunteers a total of 4,000 hours each year to sort and repackage food, prepare food hampers and assist with food distribution to make the food bank run efficiently. Some of the volunteers also provide transportation for people who do not have vehicles.

Many of these volunteers have given freely of their time for more than 12

years and these volunteer experiences offer a unique team building experience and feeling of self-worth while giving a hand up to our lowincome neighbours.

Another former volunteer, who has moved from Revelstoke and is now working full time, said the food bank provided a life-changing experience.

“I moved from a large city and had used up all of our funds with the move and was desperately out of groceries. It is not a pleasant situation to have to talk to someone and tell them your situation and why you are there. After accessing the food bank for a few months I started to volunteer as it was a way to meet people in the community and it was a way for me to give back. It was also a way to keep my sanity!”

Our volunteers are an essential part of our organization and we rely on their generous gifts of time. We have volunteers of all ages and from all walks of life. Many of the volunteers are currently accessing our

a long line-up waiting for food. They do their best to be approachable and friendly while not only remembering their names but also those who have special requests for food or kids snack items.

“I find it hard to properly explain

how much Community Connections Food Bank has done for me,” said one individual. “The friendliness and helpfulness and kindness of Patti and the volunteers here is indescribable.

The community would truly suffer without these people.”

Denny Kaulback and Sarah Harper star in the Revelstoke Theatre Company’s production of Fuel.

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

New theatre production Fuel explores battle with addiction ALEX COOPER

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Theatre Company is taking a turn away from comedy when it presents its next play, Fuel, a story of one man’s battle with addiction.

“The story is about taking control of yourselves. It’s pretty wild, it’s pretty delusional,” said Denny Kaulback, who stars as Jonathon King, a man battling with alcoholism.

The play is a battle between Kaulback and Sarah Harper, who plays the Narrator – a personification of the disease that is plaguing Kaulback. The Narrator sees King as a character in her own play; as a person to manipulate and control.

Meanwhile, he is trying to regain control over his own life.

“Like I said, I specialize in tragedies – and they usually aren’t pretty,” says Harper. She wants

Kaulback to keep drinking, while he is struggling to quit. He’s missed work four times in the past two weeks, going so far as to say his mother as cancer as an excuse.

“Come on, get up. Have a drink.

It will make you feel better,” she chides him while he lays on the couch hungover, with empty beer cans, old liquor bottles and pizza boxes strewn about his sad, ramshackle apartment.

“For Christ’s sake, shut up!” he replies. “All you do is talk and talk. All you do is occupy my head. There’s no more left in me.”

The play was written by Jerod Blake, based on his own battle with addiction. He chose to deal with his problems by personifying his addiction as someone with feelings and emotions. It’s about the struggle addicts go through as they attempt The play is about the struggle of people with addictions. Kaulback

Cabane a sucre

chose the play after seeing it performed at the Mainstage in Kamloops. “It’s a way of personalizing addiction so instead of being this mist around you that you can’t fight, it becomes solid and characterized and personalized,” he said.

Initially, Kaulback was going to direct the play, but he wound up playing the main character.

He cast Harper as The Narrator – seductive, evil and nasty.

“This is a play that I’m really excited about,” he said. “To have the opportunity to actually play in it has really opened my eyes to the problems addicts go through. It’s life destroying. They have a sickness and they can’t get rid of it.”

Fuel will be performed April 25–27 and May 2–4 at McGregor’s in the Powder Springs at 7:30 p.m. each night. Tickets are available at the Powder Springs or online through wwww.revelstoketheatrecompany.org.

The Parents’ Association of l’École des Glaciers, with the help of the Revelstoke Francophone Cultural Group, organized a maple sugar shack fundraiser on April 20 at the Mt. MacPherson Ski Lodge.

About 100 people came out to feast on a delicious traditional sugar shack meal prepared by La Baguette. The meal consisted of pea soup and fresh bread, maple eggs, maple potatoes, ham in beer and maple syrup, maple beans, maple crêpes, ears of Christ (salty fried lard), sausages in maple syrup, creton (salty porc spread), pickles and home-made ketchup. Afterwards, there was maple taffy on snow for people who still had an appetite. Thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors: La Baguette, Coopers, Dolan Home Delivery, AFKO and the Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club! Hopefully, there will be a second edition of this great family event next year for those who have missed it this year.

Many Revelstokians will have memories of children’s performer Rick Scott. Maybe as a child taking in one of his dynamic, audience-participation shows. Maybe you were a parent accompanying young ones. This time, you could be reliving your childhood memories, taking your kids to see Rick Scott’s musical show at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre (RPAC) on April 27.

Here’s my memories of Rick Scott.

I attended Windsor House school in North Vancouver for grades 4–6. It’s an alternative education, non-violent, non-coercive, parent participation school.

At Windsor House, the weirdleft teachers went by their first names and emphasized interpersonal problem-solving. They held ‘revolution day’ where students learned pros, cons and how-tos of revolutionary coups through roleplay. Soup day featured homemade vegetarian soup made right in a classroom for everyone.

Students could take part in class – or not if they didn’t feel up to it. (Me, I never learned cursive – block letters will do me fine for life, I reasoned.) If we preferred, students could lounge around on the sofas in the classrooms and read books, or maybe play a record. Competitive sports were shunned – instead they played strange music while we did ‘creative movement.’ It was freeform whatever-comes-to-you dance moves that must have weirded out the neighbours.

So what happened when the school district tried to push a new ‘checklist-based’ mandatory curriculum? The students were enlisted in protest theatre.

“There was a big kerfuffle,” Scott told me. “What a cool school that was.” The students and teachers performed skits lamenting the intrusion of rote learning into the free-form environment.

Each skit was ended when a giant textbook wandered onto the stage to gobble up the actors.

Rick, whose son was in my class, penned his own protest song. “It was called the article song – which is about articles – was on my first album for

kids,” he told me in a telephone interview from his home near Nanaimo.

Scott sings to me over the phone: I’m a little article/ just a little particle/ of an ordinary kind of word. When I go past/ it’s so darn fast/ it’s almost like I never was heard.

For me, this unique reaction encapsulates Scott; working through challenges with humour, good-will, creativity and a strong sense of self.

The prolific, multi-award winning children’s performer, musician, author and educator has toured the world, using his loving, magnetic energy to draw children into an audience-participation sphere where taking part is what matters.

He’s at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, April 27, for a family concert starting at 11 a.m. Admission is $2. Scott marvels at all the Revelstoke organizations that made it happen (RPAC, Revelstoke Arts Council, Revelstoke Child Care

Society, Early Childhood Development Committee and Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy).

During the week, he’s teaching Music as a Second Language for educators and doing a reading of his musical book The Great Gazzoon at Arrow Heights Elementary.

“The first objective I have is I want them to be part of the show,” he explained. He tries to get the young audience participating within 15 seconds of taking the stage with his dulcimer.

What’s his philosophy?

What guides him? “I’m kind of anti-message, if anything,” he explained. He wants to give kids, “the feeling that they can do this too.”

Scott wants to get everyone involved and let kids know that it’s about trying and having fun with it. In an aside, he talks about his dislike for reality music shows in the American Idol vein.

They emphasize squeaky-clean

RSS athletics team starts off season strong at Kamloops meet Andy Pfeiffer RSS Athletics

Thirty Eight members of the Revelstoke Secondary School track and field team traveled to Kamloops to compete in cool, damp conditions last Saturday in the Battle of the Border track meet. With athletes from around the province competing, for the RSS track team the results showed a balance between rookie athletes who have something to prove and veterans who wanted to get a taste of early season competition.

Peter Behncke, who finished second at the national last summer, led the veterans of the team as he easily broke Dave Boruch’s RSS hammer throw record by more than five metres with an

Katrina Andrews in the shot put, Kasia Humphreys in the discus, Robyn Rourke in the grade 8 javelin, and Takara Tompkins in the junior javelin.

RSS coach Rob Brown’s work with the distance runners yielded some impressive results. In the middle distance events, newcomers to the team Gina Cinelli and Felix Knopp both finished second in their 800m races, with times of 2:42.58 and 2:17.63 respectively.

As a whole, Revelstoke Secondary was a dominant force fielding by far the biggest team at the meet and scoring more top results than any other school.

Up next is the Legion Meet in Trail on Saturday, May 4, when a bigger group of RSS track athletes hopes to continue its success.

impressive 55.56 meters thro with the 12 pound hammer. Not far behind was Chris Andrews, who finished in third in the nation last summer. In shot put Andrews threw an impressive 13.34 meters in the senior boys category to finish first and make a statement that by the time he hits grade 12 he might be able to break David Meehan’s 15.59m RSS shotput record – a record that has stood since 1968.

Among the rookies, Jeremiah Haddad turned some heads finishing first in the 100, 200, and 400 metre races. In jumping, hard work by rookie coach Sarah Vincent paid off when Nick Flick took the top spot in both the long jump and high jump.

Other rookie winners on the team included Mitch Kovacs and

Phyllis had many great stories and memories growing up in Teluride.

During the 1940's Phyllis, her parents and family moved to California. There she met and married Gilbert Ogden and they raised their 3 children, Jim, Barb and Pam. Phyllis and Gil spent their retirement years traveling. One of those travels took them to Parker Dam, California where they spent their winters.

After Gil passed away, she continued to go to her winter home where she then met the next love in her life, Ernie.

Ernie and Phyllis shared many adventures together and played golf as often as they could. Ernie shared his beautiful Canadian home with her in New Denver, BC.

Combine all that with Subaru’s legendary symmetrical full-time AWD and X-MODE™‡, a newly developed system that offers added control, and even the most brutal road conditions will feel welcoming. Plus, the 2014 Forester is more fuel-efficient than ever. The only question left is where to go next.

perfection, focus on the flaws and set aside performers as someone special to be placed on a pedestal.

“I think one of the things that’s happening in our culture right now which I’m very troubled about is the idea that to be a dancer, or to be a musician or to be an artist of any kind is that you have to be famous,” Scott said. “I stutter I get so upset with that concept.”

Can’t we get back to jamming? Gathering in circles, starting and tune and away we go, he asks?

Those who lived in Revelstoke may remember Rick’s Pied Pumkin shows. The 1970s Lower Mainland-based folk trio of Joe Mock, Rick Scott and Shari Ulrich had an extremely strong following in the Kootenays, and also played many shows in Revelstoke (where they enjoyed “Freddy’s” hospitality at the Regent Inn, Scott remembers. They’re staying there again this trip.)

For those who want to learn more, visit rickscott. ca. You can buy his albums and books there, including The Great Gazzoon, Gazzoon Tunes, Pumkids, Snooze Music, The 5 Elements, Making Faces, Philharmonic Fool, Rick Around the Rock, The Electric Snowshoe, as well as albums for “big folks.”

“Eight albums later, we’re still at it,” Rick said of the years since Windsor House. “It’s a great ride.

I’ve been able to raise five kids. I have been able to travel around the world doing what I do.”

Things change and things stay the same. The article song was his way of protesting, but mandatory testing continues to be an issue. “This is a huge issue to this day – the standardized testing thing – it’s the government trying to push kids through the same slot, and it’s not the way it works. That’s why you have teachers. The teacher is the person who facilitates all those different little kids and all those different personalities and all those different dreams and fears. That’s why teachers are so sacred to me,” he said. *** Tickets for the April 27 show are available at the Revelstoke Community Centre or the Revelstoke Child Care Society.
