Birthday Celebrations Aquaducks look strong in Lumby Eliza McGuire Aquaducks Head Coach

A special birthday was celebrated at the Revelstoke Senior Citizens’ Association June Birthday Party last week. Kay Martin, above in white, enjoyed her 102nd birthday on June 20, 2014. Kay can be seen walking around town, doing her own shopping and going to bingo every Monday at the Seniors Centre. She is very lucky at the games and wins quite often. She still takes the occasional trip to a casino.

Kay was born in Revelstoke, has one daughter, two grandsons, three great grand daughters and one great grandson. She has been an active member of various organizations over the years.

Also celebrating was Elsie Jamieson, seen above with Kay, who is turning 99.

Elsie and Kay are shown blowing out the candles on their cake, which was made by Lori Newfield.

The Lumby Lightning meet is always one of the best-attended meets of the year and is a favourite for the Revelstoke Aquaducks, who made the trip on the weekend to the five-lane outdoor pool. While battling the sun in backstroke may have been a struggle for some, the Ducks swam confidently and surprisingly straight for the lack of roof to sight off of. However, with the temperature over 30oC on day two and a water park playground next door, the greatest victory of the weekend might have been leaving with more ribbons than sunburns.

With nearly 40 swimmers in attendance at Lumby, there were many, many ribbons that made their way back to Revelstoke, and no small amount of them were blue with a gold “first” written on them. Swimmers like Kayln Gale and Ryder Litke won multiple events, as did Beth Granstrom, Alex Jay and Jackson Litke.

Dominating in their breaststroke events were Tye Hoshizaki, Hunter Stewardson and Gina Cinelli. Continuting their trends of steep improvement were Sara Supinen, Kale Jay, Zach Veninsky, Murdoch Tegart, and Caine McCabe. For some kids, this was their first meet ever (or their first meet swimming outside of participation and in competition) like Bence and Lutza Berkenbosch, Monica Parkin, Auntumn Griffith-Doyle, and Suri Stewardson, who not only swam Division 1 events like the 100 meter free-

style and the 100 meter individual medley, but also participated in relays both days.

In what is hopefully a preview of things to come next weekend when it is the Aquaduck’s turn to host the region for a competition, an assertive Devyn Gale claimed her first club record, taking down Beth Granstrom’s Division 2 girls 50 meter butterfly record from 2011. All previous records broken thus far this season were already owned by the holder, and were improvements from the previous season. As the Revelstoke meet will mark the half-way point to Regionals this year, it is a per-

fect opportunity to come together as a team and see how we stack up against the rest of the Okanagan region in preparation for qualifying for Provincials, make some noise, swim fast, and have fun. With Lumby being the first meet of the season the Ducks have competed at in large numbers, it was a test-run for relays, cheers, and events. Competition will begin on Saturday and end on Sunday where the Revelstoke Aquaducks hope to recapture their meet trophy as the highest scoring over-all team.

BC teachers call for mediation RICHARD OVERGAARD BC Teacher’s Federation

Following two more days of face-to-face bargaining and continued stonewalling from the government and its bargaining agent, the BC Teachers’ Federation is calling on Premier Christy Clark to agree to mediation.

“BC teachers have put forward a fair and reasonable framework for a deal that would see improved learning conditions for students on the first school day in September,” BCTF

President Jim Iker said. “However, two more days of bargaining have gone by with no progress or counter offers from government and BCPSEA. At this point, the best way to get that deal that works for BC’s public education system is through mediation. Christy Clark should say yes to mediation immediately.”

Iker explained that a facilitator has been part of the bargaining process since it started in February 2013.

However, it has become clear that government needs more pressure to move off their entrenched positions.

“BC teachers have moved significantly at the bargaining table to bring the two sides closer together, but we have not seen similar efforts from Christy Clark’s government,” said Iker. “If Christy Clark agrees to mediation and allows government negotiators to come enter that process with a more open mind, we can get a deal.”

The BCTF’s framework for settlement that is currently on the table is based on five key points: · a five-year term · a reasonable 8 percent salary increase plus signing bonus

the contract by legislation, and were ordered restored by a B.C. Supreme Court decision that is now under appeal.

The union wants a second $225 million annual fund to fund ongoing class size and special needs support.

"It is well into the $2 billion range," Fassbender said of the union proposal. "It's unaffordable for taxpayers."

BCTF president Jim Iker said the union's proposal is fair in light of the latest court decision.

"Evidence from the government's own officials presented in B.C. Supreme Court shows the government has stripped $275

“We have been dealing with a government that has a record of bargaining in bad faith and imposing unconstitutional legislation. Evidence from the government’s own officials presented in BC Supreme Court shows the government has stripped $275 million per year from BC’s public education system. That means an entire generation of BC kids have been short-changed.

“There is no reason BC’s education system should be funded $1,000 below the national average. This government built in a series of surpluses and a sizeable contingency fund in their fiscal plan over the next several years. They have the money. It’s time to reinvest in BC’s students.”

Operation Snapshot III: eleven men arrested for child exploitation

TOM FLETCHER

The latest offer by the B.C. Teachers' Federation to settle its strike has moved the union farther from the "zone of settlement" established by other public sector unions, Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Thursday.

With a strike underway that could run until the end of the school year, Fassbender said neither mediation nor a legislated settlement is being considered.

Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the B.C. Public School Employers' Association, said the latest union proposal would bring the compensation increase for teachers from 12.5 percent over five years to 14.5 percent.

On wages and benefits alone, Cameron said that is more than twice the increase other unions, including school support staff employees, have accepted.

The BCTF added to its proposal of an 8 percent wage increase over five years this week with a proposed $225 million fund paid out over five years to settle thousands of grievances filed over the past decade. Those grievances sought to return class size caps and specialist teacher levels that were removed from

· no concessions · a $225 million annual workload fund to address issues of class size, class composition, and staffing ratios as an interim measure while both parties await the next court ruling · a $225 million retroactive grievances fund, over the life of the collective agreement, as a resolution to Justice Griffin’s BC Supreme Court decision that retroactively restored the stripped language from 2002.

This fund would be used to address other working conditions like preparation time and TTOC compensation improvements, as well as modest improvements to health benefits.

“Our proposals are fair,” said Iker.

million per year from B.C.'s public education system," Iker said.

Fassbender said that misrepresents the situation, because the government has put an extra $1 billion a year into the education system since taking class size and compensation out of the teacher contract.

It has been spent in different ways, such as learning assistants who are not teachers, full-day kindergarten and a $75 million annual "learning improvement fund" to address class size and special needs support, Fassbender said.

Eleven B.C. men, including one from Revelstoke, have been arrested and charged in a nationwide investigation spearheaded by the RCMP’s National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre.

The investigation began from coastto-coast in February.

“To date, we have 32 charges against 11 men,” said B.C. RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Rob Vermeulen.

“There are also a number of investigations that remain ongoing.”

The Revelstoke man arrested is 31-years-old and facing six charges: possession of child pornogarphy; accessing child pornorgraphy; producing a controlled substance; invitation to sexual touching; sexual exploitation; sexual assault.

Other men arrested from B.C. are from Kelowna, Burnaby, Duncan, Nanaimo, Sidney, Surrey, Vernon and Williams Lake. Ages of the arrested range from 23 to 65.

More than 150 individuals were arrested or are presently under investigation in the operation which is called Operation Snapshot III. Five children, including two from B.C., were removed from harm. Vermeulen would not say where the B.C. kids are from.

“For every person arrested and prosecuted, dozens of potential future victims are saved from harm,” said RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson.

“Over the past three years, Snapshot has built on the dedication, partnership and collaborative efforts of police agencies, sending a message to wouldbe abusers that we will not be deterred from protecting children.”

The operation targeted child sex offenders who collect, possess, share, make available, distribute and produce child sexual exploitation material online.

Snapshot III involved 167 investigations that were conducted by municipal, provincial and federal police services, which resulted in the seizure of hundreds of computers and hard drives along with nearly two million images or videos.

Operation Snapshot III follows the two previously successful operations: Operation Snapshot in 2012 targeted individuals in the Prairie and Northern regions of Canada, and Operation Snapshot II in 2013 focused on individuals in Atlantic Canada.

The two operations combined were responsible for the rescue of five children, the arrest of 54 individuals and the seizure of millions of child sexual exploitation images and countless leads in other child sexual exploitation cases.

Opponents gear up to battle northern oil pipeline TOM FLETCHER Black Press

From Kitimat to Victoria, opponents are preparing to fight the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, after it was given federal approval Tuesday.

A group of B.C. aboriginal communities issued a statement Tuesday vowing to go to court to protect their aboriginal title and rights on the land affected by the twin pipeline and tanker port for diluted bitumen on Douglas Channel.

Aboriginal opponents in the North Coast region include the Haida, Gitgaat, Heiltsuk and Haisla First Nations, as well as communities in the B.C. Interior.

Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, whose community is at the end of Douglas Channel and who is involved in a natural gas export project, said it is too late for more consulta-

tions.

"Every mistake they've made we actually pointed out to them and said 'this is not following our case law principles, you're making a mistake'," Ross said Tuesday. "But they went ahead and did it. It is going to be court."

Northern Gateway project leader Janet Holder said she will continue to work to build on the 26 equity agreements the company has reached with aboriginal communities along the proposed pipeline route.

Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan said her council has made its opposition clear, after an April community vote that came down opposed to the project.

"I think most of the councillors are of the opinion that they really don't want to see bitumen going down the channel," Monaghan said. "They would rather have it refined and have a product that's refined going down the channel."

Aboriginal concerns have been a key part of protests against the Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, including this one at the B.C. legislature in October 2013.

Black Press photo

B.C. NDP leader John Horgan said he wants resource development that creates jobs in B.C., particularly for aboriginal communities. Horgan said the B.C. Liberal government gave up its opportunity to oppose Northern Gateway.

B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak rejected that claim, saying the province gave a clear "no" in its final submission to the federal review panel.

Discussions with Alberta, Enbridge and oil producers continue to see if B.C.'s conditions for land and ocean protection as well as a "fair share" of benefits for B.C. can be met, Polak said.

Swimmers of the Week Mom guards one of the eight mountain caribou calves born in the pen constructed by the RCRW. Above photos Len Edwards & Terry Anderson right, a calf checks out one of the feeding troughs in the pen.

Local maternity pen sees new inhabitants Kevin Bollefer, RPF Board Member, RCRW

On May 24th, exactly two months after 12 local mountain caribou were placed in their trial maternity pen, project personnel started to see the fruits of their labour. The first caribou calf was born by a happy and healthy mom. Weighing nine kg, it was the first of eight calves so far born in the pen constructed by the Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild Society. “We still have one more to go which should occur at anytime now”, says Society President, Cory Legebokow.

Currently, there are five female calves and three male that are being protected within the pen to feed undisturbed from predators. The calves are gaining weight quickly and should be putting on up to half a kilogram a day. The mothers are being fed pellets to subsidize their natural diet of herbs at this time of year although they are able to eat lots of greenery within the 6.4 hectare enclosure.

Upon release these calves should weigh between 25 and 40 kilograms. This will give the calves a fighting chance in the wild once released.

Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in

the Wild (RCRW) is a community based partnership; consisting of a group of individuals and organizations committed to the recovery of caribou in the Revelstoke area. The goal and sole focus of RCRW is to fundraise, plan and conduct captive rearing of southern mountain caribou in the wild to increase caribou calf survival in the Columbia Mountains over a five-year period.

Mountain caribou that inhabit the Columbia Mountains surrounding Revelstoke are listed as Threatened under the Federal Species at Risk Act. Caribou subpopulations near Revelstoke are declining at a rate that will likely result in extirpation for some subpopulations in the near future. Actions are required now to halt and reverse this decline.

The society has been fundraising for two years now and has raised enough money to fund the project over its first year. The site was selected and a 12 foot high geofabric fence was constructed over a 6.4 hectare area (1100 meters perimeter) in the fall of 2013. The fence has an eight foot high, 14 strand high tensile electric fence on the outside to keep predators out of the enclosure while the geofabric fence works as a sound and sight barrier to keep the cari-

bou in.

After finalizing all biological protocols in late March 2014, 10 female caribou and two yearlings were captured by helicopter and transported to the pen site where they were collared and released into the enclosure. Nine of the 10 caribou were confirmed pregnant.

The animals adjusted to the pen quickly and immediately started eating the lichen that had been collected by local volunteers.

This project could not have occurred if it were not for all the community support. We have had over 200 person days donated by volunteers and innumerable inkind contributions. Combined we have over $200,000 of inkind contributions as well as the generous support by our funding agencies.

Please visit the website at www. rcrw.ca for a list of contributors and to get more information on the project. Also, our facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/ RevelstokeCaribou?fref=ts for updates and recent photos of our proud mom’s.

“In the wild, half of these calves would already be dead”, Dale Seip, provincial caribou biologist says as he checks to ensure all calves are okay and accounted for at the pen.

LETTERS POLICY

There was little doubt the federal government would approve the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project, regardless of public opposition or evidence presented against it. The prime minister indicated he wanted the pipeline built before the Joint Review Panel hearings even began. Ad campaigns, opponents demonized as foreignfunded radicals, gutted environmental laws and new pipeline and tanker regulations designed in part to mollify the B.C. government made the federal position even more clear.

Canadian resource policy is becoming increasingly divorced from democracy. Two infamous omnibus bills eviscerated hard-won legislation protecting Canada's water and waterways and eased obstacles for the joint review process, which recommended approval of the $7.9-billion project, subject to 209 conditions. The government has now agreed to that recommendation. The time-consum-

ing hearings and numerous stipulations surely influenced the government's decision to restrict public participation in future reviews, making it difficult for people to voice concerns about projects such as Kinder Morgan's plan to twin and increase capacity of its Trans Mountain heavy oil pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby from 300,000 to 900,000 barrels a day, with a corresponding increase in tanker traffic in and out of Vancouver.

And to keep democracy out of fossil fuel industry expansion, the government switched decision-making from the independent National Energy Board to the prime minister’s cabinet.

Probably the most egregious omission from the review process is the dismissal of impacts such as climate change and rapid tar sands expansion. Here’s how the panel justified not taking these into account: “We did not consider that there was a sufficiently direct connection between the project and any particular existing or proposed oil sands development or other oil production activities to warrant consideration of the effects of these activities.” As for climate change from burning the product, “These effects were outside our jurisdiction, and we did not consider them.”

A pipeline to carry diluent from the coast to the tar sands

to dilute bitumen that would then be carried back to the coast in another pipeline for export to world markets in supertankers does not have a “sufficiently direct connection” to the tar sands? And the impacts of the tar sands and its products on climate are not relevant to the project that makes these impacts possible? What the hell?

This project should never go ahead. And not just because no amount of money will undo damage from pipeline or tanker spills and accidents along the route, the B.C. coast or the ocean, or that it is opposed by First Nations and other affected communities and lacks social licence — although those are strong enough reasons to stop it. The main reasons it and other pipeline projects shouldn’t be built are the very same ones the government and joint review panel refused to consider.

Rapid tar sands expansion, increasing reliance on dirty fossil fuels and more infrastructure that ties us to them for decades contravene the need to protect the environment, human health, global climate systems and even economic resilience.

Our choice is between ignoring overwhelming scientific evidence about the human contribution to climate change and pollution or changing our ways and reducing carbon emissions

and fossil fuel dependence. It’s about whether to join the green economy or pin our economic hopes on an increasingly risky industry. It’s about the kind of country — and planet — we want to leave to our children and grandchildren.

The government has irresponsibly weakened democracy in its willful blindness to the most pressing economic and environmental issue of our time. The spectre of climate change means all humanity has a stake in the future of coal and oil. To avoid the worst impacts, we must shift to a zero-carbonemissions energy system within the next few decades. Yet Canada doesn’t even have a national energy strategy! As Canadians witness how vulnerable our communities are to climate change impacts like increased intense precipitation and flooding, sea-level rise and risks to food production, demand will grow for solutions such as clean energy.

Northern Gateway has received qualified government approval. The decision will now face First Nations court challenges and backlash from the majority of British Columbians and Canadians whose voices have so far been ignored. For the sake of our communities and the future of our children, let’s hope democracy prevails.

Valley, we also have the second largest coal mines in the world as well as a healthy forest sector, not to mention some of the largest hydroelectric dams in Canada. One of the largest natural gas pipelines in North America runs through this riding. Very few people talk about it and not a single incident since it has been there. All of this is done in the most environmentally friendly way so

Bargaining session failure disappoints local teachers Teachers in Revelstoke and across the Province remain committed to reaching a fair deal at the negotiating table CONTRIBUTED

Revelstoke Teachers Association

Last week 54 Revelstoke teachers gathered at the Community Centre to attend a Study Session where a number of issues were discussed - most importantly, the present status of the on-going negotiations between BCTF and BCPSEA. BCPSEA is representing the provincial government during the course of these negotiations.

These teachers found it very disappointing that last weekend's bargaining session between BCTF an BCPSEA did not result in a negotiated settlement, even though BCTF significantly changed its position concerning salary.

BCTF and BCPSEA have been at the bargaining table for over 16 months. The government is still unwilling to abide by two Supreme Court of BC rulings which state that class size and composition language be put back in the collective agreements that teachers have with the government and districts.

After the Study Session, the teachers walked to Grizzly Plaza and shared personal stories relating to the current difficult teaching conditions.

The teachers in Revelstoke and across the Province remain committed to reaching a fair deal at the negotiating table that recognizes our workload and provides better learning opportunities for students.

as to ensure we have a balance between the environment and economic growth.

The National Energy Board – an independent expert regulator – will ensure that Northern Gateway, and every other pipeline, is held to the highest safety standards. The last thing that anyone wants is an incident with a pipeline and certainly the ones that own the pipeline would be at the top of the list.

Whether it is pipelines, mining, forestry or hydroelectric, these products contribute to a stable economy which pays in part for the services that we as Canadians have come to enjoy. All of the services that we enjoy continue to increase in cost. The energy sector is a major player in not only the GDP but billions of dollars in taxes that pay for those ser-

vices. I want to see a healthy energy sector that contributes to the overall success of Canada.

I believe that companies in the natural resource sector have proven that they are responsible stewards and will continue to be so in the future. *** For more information: (613) 995-7246 or email: david.wilks@parl.gc.ca

Over 100 kids participate in Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day Contributed Parks Canada

Recently, Mount Revelstoke National Park celebrated its centennial with the second annual “Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day” at the Nels Nelsen Historic Area in the park.

The RCMP, Flowt, and Parks Canada provided a jam-packed day for families with a children’s bicycle skills and obstacle course, bike and helmet checks, stickers, prizes, draws, bike information and refreshments. The event was a huge success with sunny skies and perfect temperatures.

“Getting kids and their families connected with nature and the outdoors is a priority for Parks Canada,” says Zuzana Driediger, Parks

Canada Product Development Officer. “We are looking forward to having this as an annual event within the park.”

The RCMP “Safety Bear” and Parks Canada’s mascot “Parka” were also there cheering the kids on as were student volunteers from the ‘Glacier Adventure Stewardship Program’ (GASP). They were joined by members of Revelstoke’s professional mountain biking community, who coached many of the children through their first-ever obstacle course.

“Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day” (TKMBD) is an annual celebration held officially on the first Saturday of October, although it can be held at any time of the year. The International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA),

which created the event, strives to encourage communities around the world to join together and ride mountain bikes with youth. Over the years, tens of thousands of kids have participated from across the globe, including: Italy, Australia, South Africa, Canada, Malaysia, and Mexico. Informal or formal, one child or 100 children, TKMBD celebrates the joy of riding in the dirt.

The IMBA states that “besides being good, healthy fun, the goal is to develop a connection between kids and the natural world around them. Today's children are tomorrow's land managers and politicians — future decision-makers for important matters like recreation and access to public lands.”

Ever more popular Macpherson race event a big success to include all abilities and levels of riders, a truly family event.

This year also included a timed downhill section, which was a big hit and gave riders a small respite from the suffering. “This is one of the best races for the average rider who is willing to put out the 19km, but also a fantastically exhausting two lap section for the elite racer” said a racer from Canmore. “So much single track on real tacky soil with minimal dust, fun gradual ups, and plenty of fast twisty technical down section.”

The Men’s Elite Race was won by Matt Hadley in a time of 2 hrs 10 mins. He placed ahead

The Stoked to Get Spanked bike race was a huge success this year. With racer numbers up 25% from last year, the event is becoming well known on the cycling circuit throughout BC and Alberta; many elite athletes made the trip to Revelstoke. Canadian Olympic Team member Catharine Pendrel and U.S.A. Marathon Bike Team member Sonya Looney took part, attracting others in their category who were using this race as a training run for the BC Bike race this week and for the Single Track 6 race which has its final day in Revelstoke on here July 31st.

The “Stoked to Get Spanked” race is a very demanding two lap, 38km course, which lives up to part of its name, “get spanked”.

By including a one lap race category though, the race is oriented

Catharine Pendrel won the Women’s Elite race, and came second overall, with a time of 2 hrs 15 mins. Behind her came Sonya Looney at 2:32 and Stacey Smith at 2:36.

In the Male Sport Category David Sinclair 1:16, Rylan Kappler 1:17, and Thom Madlung 1:18 took the first three places, while Emily Unterberger 1:22, Laura Hepburn 1:31, and Sarah Vincent 1:34 took the podium spots in the women’s race.

Flexpeditions set to offer outdoor adventure this summer MELISSA JAMESON

Special to the Times Review

Amy Flexman's enthusiasm for the outdoors is immediately apparent – it's the first time in more than 10 years as a journalist I've been asked to hold an interview “outside and not at a coffee shop, please.”

It's Flexman's love of the outdoors that led her to create Flexpeditions, and so I'm more than happy to accommodate her request. We meet at the Revelstoke Golf Club and even though it's a tad windy and the skies are threatening to storm at any moment we sit outside.

An Ontario transplant, Flexman moved to Revelstoke five years ago. Prior to her move here she spent 10 years working as an outdoor expedition raft guide. She'll head to Quebec this August to work as a guide on the Magpie River.

Before that happens though, Flexman will run four weeks of summer programming through July as a test run for Flexpeditions, the outdoor adventure business she started two years ago. Two of the camps are geared towards teens, while the other two are open to any one aged 13 and older.

“It's exciting to move forward,” Flexman said. “Revelstoke has a plethora of industry experts. It's

Amy Flexman, owner and operator of Flexpeditions

cool to be able to offer programs that draw on what all these experts have to offer and to be able to share it with people.”

Rather than trying to recre-

ate existing resources, Flexman is teaming up with what's already available in Revelstoke and the surrounding area. For example, the July 3-5 Outdoor Climb and Cook

will include local ACM guides, the Teen-focused Mountain Bike Week and the Multisport Adventure Week includes mountain biking with Wandering Wheels, and local musicians are being sought after to offer workshops during the Outdoor Music Camp.

The camps are open to all levels whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced, but don't have anyone to go with.

“It's important to encourage everyone,” Flexman said. “Everyone is pushing their own limits, but cheering each other on.

“You don't have to have any experience. I got experience by doing things and then learning the areas I got passionate about. If you go with a group with all different levels you don't have to push all the time. Sometimes you just want to chill at your own levels.”

Flexpeditions July camps kick off with the Outdoor Climb and Cook July 3-5. Next is a Revelstoke Teen Multi-Sport Adventure Week July 7 -11. The week is open to teens 13-19 and will feature rafting, climbing, mountain biking and sea kayaking. The Mountain Bike Camp July 14-18 is also a teen-focused camp and will include biking at McPherson and Frisby Ridge. Participants will also work

on trail maintenance.

“It's a way to model that when you use the trails you have to give back,” said Flexman.

The Mountain Bike Camp will also be going to Sol Mountain to help open up the trails in exchange for riding on the trails and checking out the Sol Mountain Lodge.

The last week of July camps is an Outdoor Music Camp, open to all ages 13 and above. The week will include a variety of workshops by musicians including the Good Ol’ Goats from Cranbrook, and United Church Minister Ken Jones who will give a workshop on crystal bowls.

Flexman says she plans to run the July camps regardless of numbers.

“I want people to get hooked, whether it's three people or 20 people,” she said.

She is also aware that there are people in town who may not be able to afford the programs. She is currently seeking individuals and/or businesses who would be interested in sponsoring spots for camps. *** For more information about Flexpeditions, or to register for one of the July camps visit www.flexpeditions.com or contact Amy Flexman at 250-814-8663.

Revelstoke to host Western Canadian Championship Trial CONTRIBUTED

On June 28th and 29th, the Revy Riders Dirtbike Club, in conjunction with World Trials Canada is hosting the Western Canadian Championship Trial out at Glacier House Resort and the Revy Riders’ compound.

As organizer Dave Rhodes explains, “trials is the oldest form of motorcycle sport, dating back to the early 1900s.”

Though the bikes and riding style have changed, the roots of the competition are still the same.

Instead of focusing on speed, trials is all about rider skill and navigating difficult terrain while

staying balanced on the bike.

The objective is to ride through various sections without going out of bounds, or putting a foot down (dabbing). Competitors are given points for dabbing - one point for one dab, two points for two, up to a maximum of three points for dabbing three or more times. If a rider goes outside the marked section (out of bounds), goes backwards more than two feet, crashes, or fails to complete a section, they are given a five.

Points are tallied over the course of the day with the lowest score winning.

The course starts at the Glacier House Resort and is only about five kilometres long.

Usually trials courses are over 20 kilometres, but the emphasis for this event is on making it easily accessible to the public. The competition sections are all located in the three quarries on the Frisby forest service road. Spectators can easily drive right up to the quarries to watch the competition. The sections are made up of difficult terrain designed to test the riders.

Though this is a Canadian championship event, there are still classes for everyone from novices up to expert and ‘champ’ (pro). As most sections are within the quarries, there will be lots of rock riding.

Champ sections will include large boulders that the riders

must go over. All sections will include tight corners, off cambers and rough terrain designed to test the competitors’ skills.

Highlighting the event are Australian Sam King and Spaniard Tino Marin, both of whom have competed in the World Trials Championships. Many Canadian riders will be competing including Kelowna’s Brandon Wince who is ranked #2 in Canada. The top competitors are spectacular to watch as they ride over seemingly impossible obstacles.
