Chamber of Commerce wants return of business vote Local chamber feels commercial taxes are driving new business out, while nearly $2 million Mt. Begbie Brewing Co. expansion project has one eye on Salmon Arm due to high Revelstoke taxes Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

It was a glorious week, with morning clouds giving away to bright sunny skies, and a mix of fall colours combining with snow-capped mountains to make for some amazing views. The weather forecast is looking good as of press time, with above average temperatures with no rain in sight. Well, good if you’re not pining to get out in the snow like I’m sure some people are.

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

The B.C. Chamber of Commerce is advocating for the return of a business vote in municipal elections.

Prior to 1993, business owners enjoyed extra voting rights in local elections, and the B.C. Chamber of Commerce is advocating for its return, hoping the idea will gain traction during the provincial government’s ongoing local government reform initiatives.

In a form letter circulated through local chamber of commerce organizations in B.C., Revelstoke was again knocked as an expensive place to do business as far as municipal taxes. It was mentioned as the third “worst offending” municipality in B.C., with a residential to business tax ratio of 4.59, trailing only Coquitlam and North Saanich.

The letter, intended to be signed by business owners, then sent to the Minister Coralee Oakes, of the Community, Sport and Cultural Development ministry, said a lack of a business vote amounted to taxation without representation for business owners.

“Without a vote, they are the easiest group on which to increase taxes,” it states. “Many business owners live outside their jurisdiction and cannot be part of the election process or vote in a referendum which may impact their business directly. This means that, while they are the most highly taxed taxpayers in a jurisdiction, they have no voice.”

Revelstoke’s high disparity between business and residential property taxes has been in the news for years, with business advocates gaining some ground recently.

Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce executive director Judy Goodman supported the call for change that would allow business owners an added vote. “I think in our situation here, it would definitely help for the business owners to have a bigger voice.”

She wasn’t thrilled that the provincial chamber used Revelstoke as an example, but conceded the reality is something holding back existing businesses and hindering new ones from establishing in town.

“The business tax in Salmon Arm is quite significantly lower,” she said, adding Revelstoke could be losing out to our neighbours. “When you are opening a business you are looking for a market where you are.”

Although it’s not budget time yet, Revelstoke City Council was set to face the taxation question again at their Oct. 22 meeting, when Mt. Begbie Brewing Co. president Bart Larson’s tax appeal letter was on

tions, but nothing was final enough to report on.

In his letter to council, Larson said the existing taxation levels would make building a new, 15,000-square-foot facility cost-prohibitive, estimating monthly taxes on a $1.5–$2 million light-industrial facility would be about $7,500.

A location near the Revelstoke Rail-

way Museum is one potential being discussed.

“I believe, in our case, these taxes will prevent us from going forward with this project,” Larson writes.

Larson said the brewery employs just over 10 full-time employees, saying that number could “easily” double if their current 20 per cent annual growth rate continues. “More permanent, full-time residents are desperately needed here. [We] pro-

New Staff-Sergeant takes over as police chief Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Heading to the RCMP detachment last week to meet the new Staff-Sergeant, I wasn’t sure what to expect. He’s the new chief of police in Revelstoke, and his name – Kurt Grabinsky – rings off the tongue if you say it in the over-the-top manner of a gruff, cigar-smoking police commander from a 1950s police flick.

So it was a nice surprise when he came out to greet me – average height and build, fast talking and definitely younger than expected.

Grabinsky, who’s in his early 40s, has been with the RCMP for 16 years. Growing up in Saskatoon, he was studying to become a lawyer. With a Bachelor or Arts in History and a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education, he was studying for his LSAT’s when he had one of those lifealtering conversations.

He was working at a bike shop when a Saskatoon city police officer came in with his bicycle.

“We sat and talked for 45 minutes and I changed my career path completely,” Grabinsky told me. “I went from working in a bike shop and going to university to applying to the RCMP and Saskatoon City Police.”

He was accepted to both, first working with the Saskatoon police and then moving to the RCMP. His career started in British Columbia, where he worked in Terrace, Telegraph Creek, Quadra Island and Tofino (where he worked with his predecessor, retired Revelstoke Staff-Sgt. Jacquie Olsen).

After over 11 years around B.C., he transferred to Ottawa where he spent four years in embassy patrol and customs and excise. Afterwards, he went to North Battleford, Saskatchewan.

Why become a police officer?

“I wanted an active career where to help people was the goal. This is one of those areas I thought I could lend a hand,” Grabinsky said. “So far it has been an

extremely rewarding career and I recommend it to everyone.”

In North Battleford, Grabinsky was the Sergeant and eventually the acting detachment commander. There, he worked in what has been referred to as the crime capital of Canada after topping Statistic Canada’s Crime Severity Index for three straight years. According to the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, nearly one in three youth in North Battleford was charged with a crime in 2012 – three times the provincial average. It has the highest rate of non-violent crime and the third highest rate of violent crime in the country.

The statistics don’t reflect the nature of the community, which is the centre of a larger regional population.

“When you walk around the streets of North Battleford it’s a lovely pleasant community, which is quite a nice place to be,” Grabinsky said. “I would spend my lunch break running through the hood, the less desirable neighbourhood. It didn’t bother me because it’s a rare time that it’s a problem.”

Still, he said there were lots of break and enters, gang violence, shootings and even a murder.

Policing there was a big challenge where they were always on the run and didn’t have enough to do community outreach, he said. “Working in North Battleford, it was a non-stop environment.”

One tactic they did deploy in North Battleford was a committee called the hub. It consisted of representatives from numerous stakeholdrs, including the RCMP, the fire department, hospital, and social sectors, who met to create a community action plan. “We met twice a week to discuss clients in the community that may need assistance,” he said. “I’m not going to make commitments to that today but I want to see if we can partner together.”

Grabinsky said he prefers to take a community approach to

policing, rather than crime and enforcement.

Grabinsky started in Revelstoke the day after Thanksgiving and he was on his third day on the job when I met him.

He said he was attracted to the post because he and his family wanted to return to British Columbia. The ski resort didn’t hurt either.

“B.C more reflects who we are as people and we already feel more active and happier here than we have in the last few years,” he said, adding that his family had been here as tourists before and found the community very friendly and welcoming.

From a policing perspective, he noted Revelstoke does have a drug element that needs to be addressed.

“As I’ve seen in North Battleford, where the drug element – some people find it rec-

reational – but there’s an outlying effect that it has on thefts to get the money to buy drugs, the destruction of the social network of a community when the effects of those drugs destroy families,” he said. “We need to rely on the laws to enforce this. We need to rely on information we can get from people in the community to reduce drug use and abuse and keep people healthy and safe.”

Grabinsky has a wife and three children – two school aged and one younger. He said he likes skiing, snowboarding, cycling, boating and soccer. His number one priority is his family and his second is his work.

“My work is overwhelming right now because learning a new job and having to be here for that job is going to be my goal for the next year,” he said. “And then I’ll put myself out there.”

The family of Mike, Tracey, Caitlin and James Vopni are OK after surviving a magnitude 7.2 earthquake that struck the Philippines on Tuesday, Oct. 15.

The Vopni family, who left Revelstoke at the start of summer, was staying at a resort on the island of Bohol, which was at the epicentre of the deadly earthquake.

The family is on a trip around the world and was staying at the Loboc River Resort when the earthquake struck.

They posted an update on their website www.vopni.com that day indicating they were alright.

On Wednesday, Oct. 16, they related their experience to the CBC. Tracey told the CBC they were lucky to be alive.

They huddled in the doorway of a small bungalow while the earth shook beneath them.

"The bungalow was being tossed back and forth...The floor started to buckle. It started to cave into the water," she told the CBC. "I thought we were going to die. I really did. I've never felt how I felt. It was a frightening few moments."

Worrying about a tsunami, they then fled to higher ground.

They witnessed the destruction caused by the earthquake, which has resulted in 144 deaths so far.

Tracey said they received help from locals to find food and shelter afterwards.

Mike was a Realtor for Sotheby's in Revelstoke, selling properties for Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Tracey was active in the community, chairing the Arrow Heights Elementary Parents Advisory Commit-

Lawsuits drive City of Revelstoke insurance rates up

lower than normal revelstoke reservoir levels expected

Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The City of Revelstoke will pay more for liability insurance in 2014 due to an increase in the number of lawsuits against the city.

The rate is set to increase by 11.6 per cent from about $62,760 to $72,800 annually next year.

The reason? About five lawsuits in the past year have driven the city’s “higher experience rating surcharge” up by 34 per cent, explained City of Revelstoke finance director Graham Inglis.

In other words, like your home or auto insurance, if you make claims, your rates go up.

Council will explore options to save at their Oct. 22 meeting, such as upping the deductible from $10,000 per claim to $20,000 or more. However, a staff report recommends keeping the deductible at $10,000 after a review of the city’s claims history and future risk.

BC Hydro would like to make Revelstoke Reservoir users aware that the reservoir water level may be drawn down well below normal levels from late October to early November, if needed, to meet provincial electricity demands. During this time, inflows into Revelstoke Reservoir from Mica Dam will be reduced. BC Hydro must limit generation at Mica dam to allow workers to safely replace aging switchgear equipment in the underground powerhouse. At the same time, generation is somewhat limited from BC Hydro’s Peace River system due to maintenance outages.

Given current conditions and assuming average weather, we may need to lower the reservoir water level below its normal minimum level of 571.5 metres (1,875 feet) starting the week of October 21, 2013. The level could drop as much as 4.6 metres (15 feet) below the normal minimum level by late October 2013. Should such a drop be needed, we would then expect the reservoir to refill back into its normal operating range by mid-November, 2013.

If you are planning activities in or around Revelstoke Reservoir please be aware that the water level may be dropping during this period, likely by as much as 2 feet per day but possibly as much as 4 feet per day depending on weather and system conditions.

BC Hydro will look for opportunities to limit the magnitude of the water level drop and will closely monitor the Revelstoke Reservoir level during this period.

For more information or to receive regular updates, please contact: Jen Walker-Larsen 250 814 6645 jennifer.walker-larsen@bchydro.com

BC Hydro normally operates Revelstoke Reservoir at a fairly constant water level between 571.5 metres (1,875 feet) and 573.02 metres (1,880 feet) to maximize hydraulic head at Revelstoke Dam. However, BC Hydro occasionally operates Revelstoke reservoir at a lower minimum level during cold weather or unusual system conditions.

City administrators defend street sweeper purchase Decision not a “slam dunk” but senior staff say English-made street sweeper can handle Revelstoke conditions

The City of Revelstoke’s new street sweeper is the Johnston RT655 Regenerative Air Sweeper.

Amaco Construction Equipment

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

A street sweeper is a truck with a vacuum unit and brushes attached.

Like vacuum cleaners, some are better than others, and some are more expensive than others.

In Revelstoke, monitoring street sweeper routes and frequencies is a hobby for sidewalk superintendents.

A truck sweeping a clean street generates attention, causing some to run to their computers to complain on the Stoke list.

At their Sept. 10 regular meeting, council was cruising toward a decision to buy a recommended $204,840 Falcon Freightliner M2106 with a Johnston RT 655 vacuum, to replace the current 2005 Elgin Crosswind Regenerative Air Sweeper.

However, the item was moved to a closed-door meeting at the last minute. Days later, the city issued a media release, stating they had in fact decided to go with the recommended truck, saying it was “determined to be the best value to the city.”

The process was unusual; a major capital purchase of a straightforward item wasn’t done in public view, and no straightforward explanations were offered as to why. The city’s CAO did say litigation or potential litigation affecting the City of Revelstoke was a reason for holding the meeting behind closed doors.

Not long after, a competing supplier phoned to criticize the decision.

He was unwilling to go on record, but he criticized his competitor’s product. His claims must be viewed in light of his own self-interest in winning the bid, but upon checking verifiable statements, they proved true.

The Times Review believes the decision to purchase the Englishmade Falcon was the subject debate amongst city staff, and that the accepted bid was felt by some to be underpowered for the heavy Revelstoke street sweeping workload, which includes lots of winter roadsand removal – something that’s hard on the sweepers.

The concern is the vehicle may need to be operated more – including more passes of the same street – in order to do the same job as a more

powerful (and more expensive) vehicle. (And more aggravation for sidewalk superintendents!)

There was consensus that there are currently only two of these street sweepers in use in B.C.; one at the Vancouver airport, and one in Whistler. Although they are used as general street sweepers, it’s also marketed as a niche vehicle used for airport runway sweeping.

When asked about these concerns, senior City of Revelstoke officials said they made the right decision.

“I have absolutely no concern with the truck,” said city engineer Mike Thomas. “This truck is used in Whistler. It’s pretty similar conditions in terms of overall snow loads and sand loads.”

Thomas said they had no concerns about the parts supply chain, saying he had “verbal assurances” from the supplier about access to replacement parts from the English manufacturer.

He underscored the truck “met all the requirements” in the tender document, but conceded that power requirements for the sweeper were not spelled out in the bid.

In the end, all factors were weighed to arrive at the best decision. “It’s pretty hard to ignore a $20,000 difference,” Thomas said.

City CAO Tim Palmer said himself and city council were satisfied with the purchase. “There was a lot of employee engagement and analysis,” he said. “And those were listened to, considered and weighed out ultimately in the final decision.”

He added the decision wasn’t a “slam dunk.”

Palmer added: “There’s two good competitors out there.” *** Ask your buddies which brand of pickup truck to buy, and you’ll get a variety of recommendations. A Ford, a Chevy, a Toyota, a Dodge. The kind of truck or street sweeper may not be the point here; city council and staff opted to steer a major capital purchase decision with considerable lifespan operating expense considerations to a closed-door meeting.

There may be valid reasons to keep parts of the discussion in confidence, but to button up the entire conversation is a troubling trend.

Gas boycotts are not the answer Editor, Re: Let’s fix our brightest tourist signs, Letters, Oct. 9 I agree that our high gasoline prices are having a negative effect on our city. I notice it mentioned regularly on Twitter and I hear it in conversations but the ageold solution of a boycott has never worked and never will.

You have to look at the current cause of the issue – Costco in Kamloops. Costco’s goal is to offer gasoline for one cent less than its competitors. The major oil companies, fearing volume erosion, match whatever price they put out. The price keeps going down, well below cost, until Costco resets the price higher and the whole process starts again. Generally, the further you get from Costco, the higher the price (Golden 1.419). The oil companies need to make up for the loss of margin somewhere so the outlying communities pay more. Kamloops wins, Golden loses. Let’s remember that the Costco effect extends to more than just fuel; I pay 78 per cent more for my medications here in Revelstoke.

Gas is only 12 per cent higher.

Now to the solution. People are not going to drive less, so boycotts just move the volume around. We have four choices:

Rip-rap rock

OPI N I O N 1. Encourage Costco or Walmart to set up in Revelstoke with a gas offering (political suicide).

2. Set up large storage tanks and buy in volume and avoid the retail margins like the city did (impractical for consumers).

3. Ask the oil companies to take their signs down. (The price signs actually get special treatment in the sign bylaw.)

4. Support the only independent gas retailer left in Revelstoke.

Most independents get forced out by predatory pricing practices of their larger competitors. The store in the Big Eddy has survived on low margins (losses if you include credit card charges) for many years by keeping overhead low and diversification of his offering. I operated that store for one year and even though its volume is a fraction of the volume sold in the rest of the city it can be the price leader for the entire city. (In the spirit of full disclosure, I supply wholesale gasoline to the mentioned store). The owner works the front counter and receives feedback from every customer that passes through the door but why should he have to carry the entire weight of

the tourist industry on his shoulders? The fuel industry is highly competitive so why shouldn’t he be able to maximize his profit like every other business? No one is calling for the boycott of any other business in Revelstoke.

The most efficient economic outcome would be to have the independent sell gas at cost and then be compensated for his loss of profit. (again political suicide).

The other option is the opposite to common boycott approach. Overwhelm the independent retailer with your business.

Make a pledge to him: “Here is my business. I will support you with my purchases in good times and in bad if you support me with lower pricing.” The retailer is better off because he sells more in store items and his fuel profits stay the same because he sells more volume but at a lower margin.

The key is to continue to support him even after the big oil companies drop their pricing to match his.

We need to support and encourage all local business, not organize boycotts.

BC Hydro works on placing rip-rap to protect the Airport Slough wetland on the Columbia River flats below Nichol Road. The project was carried out to protect the wetland from the continuing enlargement of a 115-metre long Y-shape erosion channel into the flats adjacent to the old Arrowhead highway that runs from the Illecillewaet River to Machete Island south of the airport. The intent of the project is to see if the placement of the rip-rap rock will prevent the channel from expanding to the wetland. If the channel reaches the wetland, it could be drained.

New course hopes to address health care aid shortage Alex Cooper

the college advisory committee. “We’re absolutely thrilled we could get enough students to bring a full blown program to Revelstoke,” he said.

I spoke to a few students about why they enrolled. Chantelle Cumiskey, 18, a recent Revelstoke Secondary School graduate who works at Cooper’s, said she has wanted to be involved in health care since she was seven. “It’s a good opportunity and rewarding job.”

Jackie James said she was following in her mother’s foot steps.

Her mother was a nurse in England but when her family immigrated to Canada, her qualifications weren’t accepted and she became a care aid. “It’s in my nature, it’s inherent,” James said.

For Kayla Dodman, it’s a chance to earn a better living to support her two children. In high school she worked at Moberley Manor and the field still interested her. “I was interested then and it still excites me,” she said.

“It is tough but in the end it will be worth it and I can give my children a better life.”

JOIN THE DISCUSSION ON BC HYDRO’S REVELSTOKE UNIT 6 PROJECT BC Hydro has started planning work to allow Revelstoke Unit 6 Project to be constructed by 2020. The project is being advanced as a contingency project should future electricity demand be higher than expected as described in BC Hydro’s August 2013 Integrated Resource Plan. As outlined in that plan, BC Hydro’s expected electricity demand would be met by other projects and conservation measures .

Planning work for the Revelstoke Unit 6 Project includes seeking regulatory approvals for the project. The BC Environmental Assessment Office has determined that the project will be reviewed under the BC Environmental Assessment Act. BC Hydro is convening a Core Ccommittee to help with the review.

Do you represent an interest that would be affected by the construction or operation of a sixth generating unit at Revelstoke Generating Station? Are you interested in getting involved to help recommend mitigation measures?

BC Hydro is accepting committee member applications until November 4, 2013. If you are not interested in participating but want to follow the work of the Core Committee, then you can sign up as an observer to receive project information.

A little celebration was held at Queen Victoria Hospital last Friday to mark Health Care Assistant Day in B.C. and the start of the new Health Care Aid program in Revelstoke.

The 11 students from all walks of life were at the hospital doing the lab work portion of the program, which will train them to do the work of a health care assistant.

The Revelstoke program was put together through a partnership between Okanagan College, Interior Health and the Revelstoke District Health Foundation.

The idea for having the program was brought up at by the Okanagan College Advisory Committee after it was mentioned that there was a demand for health care assistants in Revelstoke.

“Because we saw a demand locally for getting some qualified assistants, we got together with the college to bring the course to Revelstoke,” said Julie Lowes, the site manager for Queen Victoria Hospital.

The students will be trained for roles such as home support, residential care, assisted living and adult day programs. There is a need for casual health care assistants to replace full-time staff when they are on sick or on vacation, said Lowes. The graduates can apply for permanent positions as they come up.

There are about 50–60 care aids in Revelstoke, said Lowes, including support and casual staff.

“Part of the shift in health care is moving more towards community care to allow people to stay in their homes,” said Lowes.

The Revelstoke District Health Foundation supported the program by granting each student a $1,000 scholarship. $750 was awarded to help with tuition and the remainder will be awarded upon graduation.

“There’s nothing we can do that could help health in Revelstoke more than support this program,” said Margaret Zielonka, with the health foundation.

Jim Barmby, the dean of the Shuswap-Revelstoke region of Okanagan College, thanked the foundation, Interior Health, and

Demolition derby domination 1-855-678-7833 blackpress.ca ◾ metroland.com

Revelstoke was well represented at the revived Armstrong Demolition Derby last weekend, earning two first-place finishes out of three events. Teammates Ron Campbell (driver), Steve Bafaro (co-pilot) and Franco Bafaro entered a 1981 Chevrolet half-ton into the competition. They were the last truck moving in the first heat, finished second in their second heat and won their third heat, taking home $900 in prize money. The Armstrong Demolition Derby returned after a nearly 15-year hiatus, drawing a capacity crowd. “It was awesome; lots of people,” Campbell told the Times Review. “It’s an adrenaline rush, it’s fun. You get to pull trucks apart.” Campbell, a mechanic at Downie Timber, thanked his team’s sponsors.

New steps urged to curb problem gambling province could tighten, Kendall said, perhaps through reduced hours of alcohol service at casinos or by raising drink prices.

who tackled the health impacts of gambling Wednesday with the release of his annual report titled “Lower the Stakes.”

Chief among the findings is that B.C. underspends other provinces in prevention and treatment for problem gambling – it invests about half the national average on a per capita basis.

Liquor access is one area of risk the

Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. does too little to fight problem gambling and should consider new steps, from making it harder to get alcohol and cash in casinos to removing the most addictive high-risk slot machines.

Those recommendations come from Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall,

behave less and less responsibly.”

Banning ATMs or requiring players to set an advance limit on what they might spend is another idea advanced in the report.

It also zeroes in on high-risk electronic gaming machines – the slots designed by manufacturers to generate the most compulsive behaviour.

Kendall suggested they be replaced with lower risk models and urged the province to post the risk rating on each machine so gamblers could choose a lower risk option.

Gerald Thomas of the Centre for Addictions Research, a co-author of the report, said the province has high, medium and low risk ratings for all of the slot machines in B.C. casinos and should disclose how many it has of each.

Kendall noted government is in a conflict of interest because it relies heavily on gambling profits but is also responsible for protecting vulnerable citizens.

“This is a public health issue,” he said, adding the time may be right for a “fulsome discussion on the benefits and the risks” of gambling in light of rejections of new casinos over the past two years by Surrey and Vancouver.

Any new decisions to expand gambling should come with an assessment of the risk to problem gamblers and be contingent on reducing the overall share of revenue extracted from them, the report recommends.

There’s been no detailed study of problem gambling in B.C. in several years but research is slated for next year. According to 2007 statistics, 3.7 per cent of B.C. residents are at “moderate risk” and 0.9 per cent are classified as problem gamblers.

Kendall noted the two groups account for 26 per cent of total gambling revenue despite making up less than five per cent of the population.

There are 160,000 gamblers in the two risky groups but only 4,000 calls per year to a problem gambling helpline, suggesting the number of people who could be helped is “much higher.”

The report calls on the province to devote at least 1.5 per cent of gambling revenue to problem gambling initiatives, tripling the current outlay.

It also urges school classes to warn children of the dangers of gambling, focusing on students in grades 10 to 12.

Provincial gambling revenue per capita climbed 56 per cent over the last decade from $353 per person in 2002 to $552 by 2011. The $2.1-billion a year industry delivers nearly $900 million in net profits to government.

B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said in a statement the province this year increased its Responsible Gambling program budget by 30 per cent.

“We take the social costs of gambling seriously,” he said, adding the province and BCLC will provide $11 million for responsible gambling this year.

De Jong said the province is committed to continually improving but will review the performance of its current programs before considering any more spending.

Salmon Arm Secondary School defeated Okanagan Mission in two straight sets to win the junior girls Last Spike volleyball tournament in Revelstoke on Saturday.

The two-day tournament saw six teams travel to Revelstoke from throughout the Interior.

Revelstoke divided it’s junior girls squad into two teams – red and black for the event.

Revelstoke Red went 1–2 in pool play, falling 2–1 to King’s Christian, beating Golden 2–0 and losing to Salmon Arm 2–1.

Revelstoke Black also went 2–1, falling to Eagle River 2–1, Princeton 2–0, and beating Okanagan Mission 2–1.

In championship play on Saturday, RSS Red lost to Okanagan Mission and RSS Black lost to Salmon Arm. That set up a final between Salmon Arm and OKM, that Salmon Arm won in straight sets, 25–20 and 25–21.

The two Revelstoke teams faced off in the consolation final, where Black beat Red 2–0 —

Grizzlies go 1-1 against East Kootenay opposition Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Grizzlies defeated the Golden Rockets 3-1 on Saturday to earn a split of their weekend against teams from the Eddie Mountain Division.

The Grizzlies started the weekend in Invermere where they faced the Columbia Valley Rockies, who are seeing a resurgence after years in the league’s basement.

Revelstoke got off to a fast start when they started the game with a power play after Peter Matthews was penalized for a warm-up violation. Matt MacDonald scored 64 seconds into the game to put Revelstoke up 1-0.

The Rockies didn’t take long to respond, with Jerome Thome scoring twice and Ryan Henderson adding another to put their team up 3-1. Aiden Silzer-Hooker got one back for Revelstoke on the power play with less than two minutes left in the first, but Doan Smith scored another for Columbia Valley to give his team a 4-2 lead at the end of one.

Smith scored again 3:20 into the second to put Revelstoke down by three, but the Grizzlies’ top line of MacDonald, Devon Hascarl, and Kyler Wilkinson brought their team back into the game.

First, at 11:27 of the second, Wilkinson scored, then, seven minutes later, Mac-

Donald got his second of the game to pull Revelstoke within one. Dustin Boone scored for Columbia Valley with 63 seconds left in the period to restore the Rockies two-goal lead.

In the third, Brendan Jay scored 41 seconds in to bring Revelstoke within one. However, that was the closest they would get, as Thome completed his hat trick with an empty-netter with two seconds to go to give Columbia Valley a 7-5 win.

On Saturday, the Grizzlies hosted the Golden Rockets at the Forum in a battle of last-place teams. Unlike the previous days high-scoring affair, Saturday’s game was a low-scoring battle. Hascarl broke the ice with 2:51 left in the third with his 10th goal of the season.

In the second period, the Rockets tied it up with a goal by Tanner Watt. The game remained tied at one until the final minutes of the third, when Kyler Wilkinson scored a power play goal to put Revelstoke up 2-1. Tre Mason added an emptynetter and Revelstoke took the 3-1 win.

The weekend leaves the Grizzlies with a 3-8-0-2 record on the season. The teams closes out the month of October with three games this week. On Thursday they host the Kimberley Dynamiters, who currently have the second best record in the league. On Friday they travel to Princeton to face the Posse and on Saturday they visit the Osoyoos Coyotes.

Coleton Dawson of the Revelstoke Grizzlies gets stopped on a breakaway during Saturday’s tilt agains the Golden Rockets.

A thrifty Halloween

EXPERIENCES

BY ALEX COOPER

I remember my first Halloween in Revelstoke. I was new to town, I didn’t really know anyone and I didn’t have a good costume, so I didn’t end up going out.

I remember my second Halloween in Revelstoke. I was back from a trip to Mexico and picked up a cheap Mexican wrestling mask while I was there. Needing something else to complete the costume, I threw on my ripped jeans, a jean jacket and called myself the forgotten Mexican wrestler known as the Canadian Tuxedo. It was half-assed, but I thought it was kind of funny.

Then I went to the Regent, where four people had full on Mexican wrestling costumes complete with capes, spandex and the works. The lesson – in Revelstoke, you can’t half-ass your costume.

This year I had a great idea for costume. Without giving it away, I will say it’s based on a recent Rob Buchanan cartoon. I just needed to put it together. I put out a call to some ladies and my friend Rachelle responded. We met at the Thrift Store to see what we could find.

The Thrift Store – aside from furnishing and clothing every ski bum in town, and then some – is a great source for costumes. It’s not the best, but it’s the best we’ve got. They put

out their costume material early in the fall and watch as it goes. But really, all year round you can find what you need to pull something together.

I knew what I needed – a long black wig, some sort of rocker T-shirt, and, ideally, a jewel-encrusted leather jacket. And a snake. A big, long, threatening snake.

Turns out, I was wrong. I opened the door and it was staring right at me.

Bright. Yellow. One. Piece.

It was a small and I’m usually a large, but it had to be tried. I stepped into it, tugged it around my jeans, crawled my arms through the sleeves, and tugged it up around my torso. It fit – barely – but I was wearing a lot of clothes and I’m sure if I ditch the jeans and wear a thinner sweater, I’m gold.

Next – finding the rest of the costume. After all, everyone in Revelstoke owns a garish one-piece that they bust out once a year for retro-ski day.

We looked through the bins. There was a Hawaiian mask of some sort.

Too itchy and hard to see through, so back it goes. A really ugly monster mask. Also hard to see through, and I’m not sure how it works with the one-piece – am I the ski guide monster? A witches hat with green hair?

Nope. A multi-coloured hat with viking horns? Possibly.

It kept going like this. Eventually I turned the tables onto Rachelle to find her a costume. She already had one, but she was game to look around. We browsed the women’s clothing racks – Mickey 2000 pyjamas, camisoles, ugly sweaters, nice sweaters, sweaters with shirts sewn inside them, jackets and so forth.

There was definitely potential. Now I just have to find the rest of mine
