Garden & Art tour 2014 4

There’s a joke I’ve heard that gardening is like a competitive sport in Revelstoke. While I won’t quite get on that train, the amount of work people put into their gardens here is very admirable and impressive. Nine residents opened their gardens to the public last Saturday for the second annual Garden & Art Tour, put on by the North Columbia Environmental Society. As well, the new community garden at Begbie View Elementary, the community garden at the United Church and the heritage garden at the Revelstoke Museum were also part of the tour. 1. Bob and Cheryl Wilford’s beautiful flower and vegetable garden is perched on Track Street, with stunning views across the valley. 2. Giuseppe Iaccino holds court in his garden, which features a fig tree, peach tree and rows and rows of vegetables. The pottery is by Cat Mather. 3. Madison Dyck (left) and Jacki Hutchison pose in their unique straw bale garden. The paintings are by Dyck, who has cerebral palsy. “Creating provides me with a great sense of accomplishment and most importantly, gives me freedom to fully express myself,” writes Dyck in his artist statement. “My arts helps me to define myself devoid of my disability.” 4. Hairstylist Sara Jeffery provided the art in Rory Luxmoore and Sarah Newton’s yard, which is a mix of garden and playground. 5. Sharon and Jim Cook stand amidst their art in their flower garden. 6. Bruce Thomas created this special mural for the Revelstoke Museum & Archive’s heritage garden. ~ Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Columbia Shuswap Regional District directors balk at new expense policy Barb Brouwer Black Press

Directors pushed pause on an attempt by Columbia Shuswap Regional District staff to introduce policies on expense accountability and giving grants prior to elections. Jodi Kooistra, manager of financial services, brought forward a pol-

icy to amend travel and expense reimbursement for staff and directors and a second that would prevent directors from giving grants in aid in the three months prior to a municipal election.

RCMP train for shooting scenario at Revelstoke secondary Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

A team of RCMP officers come around the corner of Revelstoke Secondary School — four of them with their guns drawn. It's a very rare sight — the first time I've seen an officer with their gun drawn in five years in Revelstoke. There was reports of a shooting, and as the members on duty at the time, they were first on scene. They cautiously approach the rear entrance of the school before going inside. Meanwhile, more RCMP resources are being called in from elsewhere throughout southeastern B.C. — the emergency response team, a negotiating unit, police dogs, communications people and more. All told, 65 RCMP personnel are deployed to respond to the situation at the school. This was all for training for the worst possible scenario — a shooting at a school filled with students similar to what happened in Columbine "This was an opportunity for us to try out our safe-school plan," said Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinksy of the Revelstoke RCMP. "It's a plan created by the division to create a template to how we perform based on incidents that have happened elsewhere." Sgt. Kim Hall put together the scenario and the Revelstoke School District made the high school available to the RCMP. Local volunteers played the role of victims, while auxiliary constables acted as the shooters. The RCMP made use of floor plans, photos and other information it has on the school to respond to the incident. "The school was the perfect training ground for it because for us,

From previous page tors more, we did a lot of work on this and the problem is, we saw some serious, serious issues with our current policy,” he said. “By deferring this, is the flawed policy going to be in place until a new policy is adopted, or is it going to fall on the chair and administrator to decide what will and will not be approved?” Hamilton said his recommendation would be to pass the policy, let the

it's where we police," said Grabinsky. "It wasn't some false environment with a fake wall put up." The response began at 8:30 a.m. with the call to 9-1-1 of shots being fired in the school. The members on duty attended the scene while support crews assembled elsewhere and drove to Revelstoke. To make things realistic, they left from their home bases and had to drive along the highways to get here, arriving at around 11 a.m. For safety purposes, they didn't use lights or sirens. Throughout the day, the response could be heard playing out over the scanners. There was a constant backand-forth between dispatch and the police on the ground. There were two shooters in the school — one of whom had taken hostages. While local RCMP handled the first shooter, the emergency response team was brought into deal with the hostage taker. The dispatcher constantly relayed information from a witness holed up in an office. "We were training for a similar situation to Columbine, to Taber. Those situations of gun shots fired and 9-1-1 calls coming from the school," said Grabinsky. "We know the scenario would have played out differently with 200 to 300 kids in the school, with half of them having cell phones." The fire department, BC Ambulance and Queen Victoria Hospital also took part in the exercise. Grabinsky declined to discuss the tactics that were used. "I will not discuss the tactics because of concern that will provide information to the public of what those tactics will be," he said. Afterwards, everyone involved took part in a debriefing. There was

EAD directors have their discussion and then amend it at the board level if needed. Benty then suggested the discussion take place at the board meeting. But the EAD directors were not of a mind to do that and the majority of the directors voted to defer the matter. “Although it does pertain to board and staff, it has great impact on area directors and I think it requires some clarification and further discussion,”

one for local members and another including the special units that were deployed. "We've been debriefing along the way with our upper management and reviewing our plan," said Grabinsky. He said the scenario went very well and they were happy with the overall success of the training exercise. "We learned a lot of things we would correct," he said. "Other things went very smoothly and exactly how we would like them to do." He said he was very happy with the work of the local constables in how they responded. "They operated in excess of what I expected them to do. They were committed, they were fearless in terms of their response, and they achieved every goal we could have." said Area B Rural Revelstoke director Loni Parker, following the meeting. “We’re having our EAD meeting in August; it’s not like it’s gonna be held up for any length of time, given that it’s so outdated.” Talbot called the expense policy too vague on a number of points and wanted to make sure the regional district policy is in line with other districts and municipalities. “What they brought to the board

was, ‘this is what we want to do,’ with nothing to show comparisons,” Talbot said. “I agree that we have to be accountable, but let’s make sure we are in line with others.” Talbot, Demenok and Morgan expressed similar concerns about amending the policy on handing out grants prior to elections. “It is an electoral area director program and we did not yet get a chance to discuss it at the meeting before it

came to the board,” said Demenok. Talbot added some mechanism should be in place in case a group has an emergency and needs a grant in aid during the three-months prior to an election. “We don’t need to do this right away; it’s not a big deal, the directors are not going anywhere,” he said. “And it’s not a big deal for directors to discuss this and come back to the board in August.”

MLA Norm Macdonald shifted to energy & mines portfolio ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald was given a new role as critic for energy and mines in NDP leader John Horgan's new shadow cabinet. "I'd been doing forestry, which I very much enjoyed for five years, but I think it's time now to learn other things," said Macdonald in an interview with the Times Review. Macdonald had been the critic for forests, lands and natural resource operations since 2009. Horgan, who was acclaimed leader of the NDP in May, announced his shadow cabinet in a news release Wednesday morning. The shadow cabinet is divided into two sectors — one for the economy, and one for stronger communities. Macdonald is part of the economic sector team. Macdonald's main focus will be on mining policy. He said that like his work in forestry, he will be focused on holding the government to account on what is happening to the land base. He brought up the recent landmark Supreme Court ruling that granted the Tsilhquot'in First Nation title over its land. "The Tsqilhquot'in ruling raises lots of questions that the government has to understand and deal intelligently with," he said. "Our role as the opposition is to push the government to work hard on these issues and to do the work they need to do to solve problems for these people. "There's no doubt that anything on the land base requires a sophisticated approach from government

and the people on the ground who will do the work." Macdonald will also be in charge of working on overall energy policy, said Horgan. He will be working with Adrian Dix, the critic for BC Hydro, Bruce Ralston, the critic for natural gas development, and George Heyman, the critic for green economy and technology. "When I was sitting down to see how I would parse out the area that I just represented over seven or eight years, it struck me the best course of action based on my experience was to make sure we had people singularly focused on elements of energy policy so they could do a better job of dismantling the mess the Liberals have made of it," said Horgan, who was the critic for energy & mines prior to becoming party leader. Macdonald said both natural gas and BC Hydro policy fascinate him. "There's so much there that

has been said that doesn't stand up to scrutiny, but the premier seems to be getting away with it for the most part so far, so we'll see if we can push her on that," he said. He said he's looking forward to working with his colleagues on the portfolio and sharing his expertise with others. "If you're working with somebody, you both share the excitement of something significant," he said. The shift will see Macdonald pitted against Bill Bennett, the MLA for East Kootenay and Minister of Energy & Mines, who he has sparred with many times in the legislature. Macdonald said he is looking forward to going up against his East Kootenay rival. "On one issue after another we've battled and I certainly am excited about the prospect to add to that," he said. The shadow cabinet met in Vancouver last Thursday and Friday.

Malakwa Bridge replacement begins in August LACHLAN LABERE Black Press

The replacement of the Malakwa Bridge is expected to begin in August and complete by the summer of 2016. Shuswap MLA Greg Kyllo and Okanagan Shuswap MP Colin Mayes were in Malakwa Friday to formally update the public on the proposed project that would see the existing 60-year-old, two-lane bridge along the Trans-Canada Highway replaced with a four-lane structure, so as to improve highway safety and traffic flow. The project, some 30 kilometres east of Sicamous, will also involve widening 2.3 kilometres of the adjacent highway to four lanes and would include a paved median with a 2.6-metre-wide barrier. Tybo Contracting Ltd. of Langley B.C. was awarded the job with a successful bid of $16.4 million. “Replacement of the old, narrow bridge will eliminate this pinch point for traffic and pro-

vide increased clearances for commercial vehicles,” states Kyllo in a July 25 Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure release. “The upgrade to four lanes will also provide all motorists with safer opportunities to pass on this stretch of Highway 1." Total funding for the project amounts to $35 million, with the B.C. government having committed up to $22 million, and the federal government anteing up $13 million through the Building Canada Fund. In addition to the bridge and road widening, Hickson Road is

to be upgraded with a new “protected T” intersection to improve highway access and egress. In addition, access/egress from Ackerman and Delaney roads will be consolidated with a new protected T intersection near the Shuswap Speedway. MOTI revealed plans to replace the bridge last summer as part of the B.C. government's commitment to four-lane the Trans-Canada between Kamloops and the Alberta border. MOTI states anywhere between 6,000 and 11,000 vehicles cross the Malakwa bridge daily.

Revelstoke crime rate down in 2013 Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke’s crime rate was down in 2013, with more than 100 fewer incidents reported compared to the previous year. “Our numbers are slightly down,” said Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky of the Revelstoke RCMP. “That doesn’t necessarily mean that crime has changed, it’s a matter of what is the trend of that year.” There were 770 violations reported in Revelstoke in 2013, down from 889 in 2012, according to Statistics Canada. 551 of those were criminal code violations. The crime rate per 100,000 people was 10,877 in 2013 compared to 12,364 in 2012 — a 12 per cent decrease. The Crime Severity Index (CSI), which measures both volume and severity of crime (a murder is weighted higher than an assault, which is weighted higher than petty theft), declined to 72.12 in 2013 from 96.32 in 2012 — a 25 per cent decrease. The violent crime severity index was 45.34 and the nonviolent crime severity index was 81.71. This means that crimes were generally minor in nature. “We have been very proactive in the community working on drug files, working on seizures on the highway and working in the community,” said Grabinsky. “We find that often drugs are related to assaults and victimization of a person, so by addressing those things we minimize other serious files.” The Times Review only looked at statistics are for the City of Revelstoke and not the rural area.

The nationwide crime rate was 5,191 per 100,000 people in 2013 and the CSI was 68.72. For violent crimes, the severity index was 73.7 and for non-violent crimes it was 66.76. For British Columbia, the crime rate was 8,592.56 per 100,000 people — a decrease of 5.24 per cent compared to 2012. Provincially, the crime rate has been going down steadily since 2004. The provincial CSI was 89.18 in 2013, while the violent crime CSI was 81.48 and non-violent crime CSI was 91.8. This indicates that while Revelstoke has a higher crime rate than the provincial average, the crimes are generally less serious in nature. Grabinsky attributed Revelstoke’s higher crime rate to the fact it’s a tourism destination. “Revelstoke brings upon the community every year larger quantities of people than actually live here,” he said. “When people don’t have that dedication to a community, some things can happen. And sometimes the locals will report these incidents more frequently, having less patience for them. “I don’t object to that. It’s your community, so report to the police what’s happening.” Over the past 15 years, Revelstoke’s crime rate has fluctuated between a low of 9,015 per 100,000 people in 1999 to a high of 13,569 per 100,000 people in 2008. The CSI rate was the lowest since 1998 — the earliest year for which statistics are available. The statistics shed some light on how crime was dealt with in

Revelstoke. According to Statistics Canada, 362 incidents were cleared — 127 with charges and 235 by other means. 112 adults and 15 youth were charged with crimes “Overall, I don’t think anybody perceives that the crime in Revelstoke has changed,” said Grabinsky. “It is perceived to be a very safe community. It’s a very happy pro-community, community.”

What crimes were committed? Property crime was the big one, with 268 instances recorded. Of those, 136 were thefts of under $5,000, 62 were incidents of mischief, 29 were thefts of a motor vehicle (down from 48 in 2012), 19 involved fraud and 11 were break-and-enters. There was 167 drug violations recorded, 145 of which were for possession of marijuana and only two for trafficking in marijuana. Twelve people were charged with possession of cocaine, one for heroin, and five for other drugs. Disturbing the peace was a common charge, with 90 instances recorded (down from 149 in 2012). 51 instances of minor assault were reported in 2013. There were seven incidents of assault with a weapon or assault causing bodily harm and 16 incidents of people uttering threats. There were two sexual assaults and two sexual violations against children. 55 impaired driving charges were issued last year.

Revelstoke RCMP made a large marijuana seizure after stopping a man who was speeding on the Trans-Canada Highway on Friday. The stop occurred in the early morning hours of July 25 when

a member of the Revelstoke RCMP conducted a traffic stop on an eastbound pickup truck on the Trans-Canada Highway near Highway 23 South. Police searched the vehicle and uncovered about 50 kilograms of marijuana concealed in a hidden compartment in the truck, said Cpl. Thomas

Blakney. He is believed to have been heading to Calgary. A 38-year-old Alberta man was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, and given a speeding ticket. He is scheduled to appear in Revelstoke court in November.

Last Saturday, I finally made the pilgrimage to Eva Lake in Mount Revelstoke National Park. I always felt somewhat ashamed of the fact that through almost five years in Revelstoke, during which I’ve hiked or biked most trails in the area, I’d

never been to Eva Lake – one of the most easily accessible ones in the area. I mention this, because this year marks the 100th anniversary of Mount Revelstoke National Park and we’re asking people to submit their memories of time spent in the park to coincide with Homecoming in two weeks time. It could be a memorable hike through the wildflowers or a wildlife encounter. Maybe it was witnessing a celestial event from the summit area, or biking along the Soren Sorenson trail. Perhaps you remember skiing on the old rope tow or jumping off the old ski jump. My most memorable trip into

the park was last October, when the city was buried under a layer of clouds, and Jacolyn at the Parks' office was kind enough to give me the key to the gate so I could drive up the parkway and take pictures of the sunset above the clouds. I went with my friend Rob and we drove up the parkway, into the thick clouds, the visibility almost nil. Eventually we emerged into a clear sky, with the clouds at our feet. We continued to the summit and walked up to the historic fire tower. We were greeted by an endless sea of clouds stretching endlessly above the valleys, covering Lake Revelstoke and Eagle Pass. The sun cast a glow

on the Clachnacudainn Range as it slowly descended into the west. We plan on including these memories in a special issue of the Times Review that will be published on Wednesday, Aug. 13, in time for Homecoming. We ask that you keep them short (100-200 words).

Letter: Reader reminisces about Revelstoke reunions Editor Recently I ran into a friend here in Santa Barbara. He asked if I had plans for a vacation this year and I told him I was going to my home town for a reunion. He said, 'But didn’t you go there a couple of years ago for a reunion? Yes, I did about three years ago but that was a friend’s reunion. Kids I grew up with wanted to get together so one of them who still lives there said, "Lets do it at my house.” For six months we planned. Notifications were easy because of the internet. We already had a network of friends names, e-mail addresses and people who knew

how to get in touch with others. All in all we had close to 70 people show up at Kip and Jill Holloway's home. We left nothing to chance. We planned food. We had a Santa Maria tri tip lunch — tri tip is a big thing in Southern California. Fantastic beef, tender and juicy. We had homemade chilli, French bread and salad. We ended up having to supplement the meal with barbecue chicken breast because we had so many hungry people. People have never understood why we have this closeness, why we love this valley so much. Why, when we see pictures of Mt Begbie we are near to tears. Why

we stay in touch. Why we go to every reunion we can in Revelstoke. Not everyone can make it, but that’s ok — we do have so many that do make it. We were the war babies born in the Forties, raised in a town that was isolated. We did not care, we made our own fun. No one locked their homes. You could water your lawn all night long. Turn on your cold water tap, wait a few minutes and drink the finest cold water in the world. After this reunion that went so well we lost three dear friends: Bing Gunnarsen, Peter Grauer and Terry King. The reunion for me was made because my friends

and I got to see all three of them for the last time. We didn’t know it was the last time, but such is life. At this reunion we will meet again. This time to pay tribute to those that passed before us. Gone but not forgotten, this will not be a wake. It will be a salute to so many that we miss so dearly. I have a list of 16 of them and I am sure I will be adding names that perhaps my 72-year-old memory just did not recall. We will toast to them and then to ourselves. Life means so much more when you celebrate with friends. Terry M Staten, Santa Barbara, California

Many small items at last council meeting ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke council didn’t have anything major to discuss at its last meeting, but a number of small items did come up. Here’s a breakdown of the more noteworthy items from the July 22 meeting.

JUMPON SEEKING INVESTORS JumpOn Flyaways is looking for investors as it seeks to offer flights to Revelstoke this winter. The Calgary-based airline is built on a model where flights only leave the ground if enough seats are sold. It uses social media to promote its flights. Jean-Marc Laflamme made a presentation to council last week where he touted the airlines plans of offering flights from Edmonton, Vancouver and

CONGRATULATIONS!

Calgary to Revelstoke airport. The airline tried to run two flights to Revelstoke in March however they failed to get off the ground. “These flights were doable but we didn’t have enough time to plan for them,” he said. He said the flights could be a boon to both tourists coming here, as well as professionals that work remotely in Revelstoke. “Above all it will bolster the economy here in Revelstoke,” he said. JumpOn is trying again this winter, but Laflamme said they need $50,000 to $100,000 in seed money to get things going. He cited Jackson Hole, Wyoming, as an example of a small, remote resort community that was able to boost its economy by increasing flights to its airport. “If we have weekly service and we get Calgary, Edmoton or Vancouver committed to the idea, then things stand a chance,” he said.

VACATION RENTAL BYLAW MOVES FORWARD The vacation rental bylaw was given third reading by council, and will now be referred to other levels of government for comment before final adoption. The version that was passed is similar to what was proposed. Applications will have to undertake a re-zoning process to operate a vacation rental. They can only rent out their home for 120 nights per year, there is a maximum of four bedrooms and eight people per rental, and there must be one parking space available per bedroom. No signage is permitted and the property owner or manager must be available on-call 24 hours per day.

CBT EMPLOYMENT IN REVELSTOKE Council is asking the Columbia Basin Trust to revise its employment policy to allow Revelstokians to work remotely for the organization. The city has lobbied in the past for a CBT office in Revelstoke, to no avail. This time, they are asking that residents be allowed to work remotely so they can work for CBT without having to leave the community. The CBT has offices in Nakusp, Golden, Castlegar and Cranbrook and job postings usually require applicants to move to one of those communities. The letter is a response to a request from the city’s social development committee, who noted it disadvantages Revelstoke residents who want to apply for those jobs; and that with today’s technology, employees shouldn’t need to work in a specific location.

BUILDING CANADA FUND PROJECTS

333 athletes from the Thompson - Okanagan competed at the 2014 BC Summer Games bringing home 79 medals. Thank you to the coaches, officials, volunteers, and families who support these growing champions. See photos, videos and results at

BCGAMES.ORG

The city is working on a list of projects for funding through the Federal government’s recently announced Building Canada Fund. The exact structure of the fun is still unknown as details are worked out between Ottawa and the province, but it is expected that project funding will be divided three ways between the federal, provincial and municipal governments, said Mike Thomas, the city’s director of engineering. One change this year is that private companies can apply for funding as long as it’s supported by the city. Thomas said they are working on a list of projects that could benefit from the funding, which is worth $1 billion over 10 years for small communities. “It’s a 10 year program, so I think we should have a strategy of how we approach these projects over those 10 years,” said Thomas. “We should try and leverage this funding for projects that benefit the whole community.”

Trisha Hartwick: For the love of design Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

When Trisha Hartwick started her clothing business, she was fortunate. What she liked to draw, people liked to buy. “You want to make money, so you want to appeal to people who are coming to the mountains,” she said. “I’m lucky, because that’s what I like to draw anyways.” Hartwick is the creative talent behind Love Making Designs, a clothing company she runs with her partner Kiley Dare. Hartwick is a recent transplant to Revelstoke, having moved here from Canmore earlier this year. She and Dare bought a home together in Farwell and set up their screen press in the basement. The room is filled with clothing of Hartwick’s creation. Hartwick grew up in Ontario and attended Sheridan College and the University of Toronto, where she studied art history and then print media. Seven years ago she moved to Canmore and, struggling to find good work, she started Love Making Designs. “I did a few craft markets and a few farmers markets and that’s how it became a full-time job,” she said. She and Dare moved to Revelstoke because it still has a quaint, mountain town feel. For Hartwick, the screen-printing process is relaxing and medita-

tive. It all begins with her sketches — hundreds of which fill her sketchbooks. “They might never make it onto a t-shirt, but I have six that are filled,” she said. About 20 per cent of her sketches will be turned into fullfledged designs; right now she has 30 drawings on clothing. Her designs range from the Bicycle Tree, which is as titled — a tree with the bicycles instead of foliage. There’s Punch Buggy, Slap Bus, featuring a VW van and a VW Beetle. Jammin’ features a bear and squirrel playing a ukelele and banjo on the front, and a fox playing the guitar on the back. The drawings are often playful, but some, like the Elk Skull, are more realistic. The shirts often feature a main design on the front, with patterns sketched out on the back. Love Making Design’s logo is an arrowhead with antlers that swoop into the shape of a heart. “Everything is nature-based,” said Hartwick. “I do a lot of biking stuff, but most of it is all animals.” The process to make the shirts starts with the sketches. She will then upload them to her computer, where she can manipulate them and add elements and colours. They then get printed onto acetate and then transferred onto the screen using a homemade lightbox. From there, it gets run through the screen press onto the shirt, after which it

is dried and then heat pressed. The designs are printed on shirts from American Apparel or Alternative Apparel; she makes sure the clothing doesn’t come from sweatshops. The creative side of Love Making Design is handled by Hartwick, but Dare helps with the manufacturing, selling and business aspects. They travel to farmers markets and craft shows throughout the summer, selling their clothing. The appeal of the work is the freedom it gives her — both to be creative and live a great lifestyle where she can ski during the day and work in the evenings. I asked what here favourite design was. She didn’t know. “I look at them so much that after a few weeks I don’t want to look at them anymore. I’ll go back to them a year later and go, ‘It’s not as bad as I thought it was,’” she replied. “That’s why I always create new things, because I always want something newer, something better. I always want to get better. I’ll see little things in a drawing I don’t like, so I’ll draw something similar all over again with something that I do like.” You can buy one of Hartwick’s designs at ArtFirst!, Skookum Cycle & Ski, or at the Farm & Craft market every Saturday during the summer. You can visit her website at lovemakingdesigns.ca.

At the dawn of the First World War, Revelstoke was thriving August 4 marks 100 years since the United Kingdom declared war on Germany, bringing Canada along with it. In an ongoing series, the Times Review and the Revelstoke Museum & Archives will look at Revelstoke during WW1. We will look at the soldiers who went off to fight and the impact the war had on the community. CATHY ENGLISH

Revelstoke Museum & Archives

Revelstoke was one of the largest centers in the interior of the province when war was declared in August of 1914. According to the 1911 census, Revelstoke had a population of 3,017 in the city and 2,655 in the district, for a total of 5,672. People had come here from other parts of Canada and the United States, from all over Europe, including the Ukraine, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Great Britain, France, and Germany, and from China, Japan and India. A new courthouse had been completed in the fall of 1913 and the city boasted two elementary schools: Central, built in 1902, and Selkirk, built in 1911, as well as a new High School that officially opened on February 6, 1914. A new and fully equipped hospital with two full-time doctors opened in 1913 and the next year, the hospital board opened a school of nursing that continued until the 1930s. A YMCA stood on First Street East and included a full gymnasium with equipment, bowling alleys and an indoor swimming pool. An opera house at the corner of Second Street West and Garden Avenue featured travelling entertainers and also hosted local productions. Revelstoke was an important divisional point for the Canadian Pacific Railway and the company also operated a branch line to Arrowhead and a fleet of steamboats that con-

nected traffic to the Kootenays and the United States. The CPR was the major employer in Revelstoke in 1914. Construction had begun on the Connaught Tunnel in 1913 and continued until completion in December of 1916. The CPR was also double-tracking much of their main-line, with about 1/3 of line completed in B.C. Grading on the double track between Revelstoke and Taft was completed in the early summer of 1914. Glacier National Park in Rogers Pass and Mount Revelstoke National Park, proclaimed in April 1914, both drew tourists to the area, with Glacier House attracting more than 1,000 visitors every summer. Work had begun on the summit auto road on Mount Revelstoke in August of 1912 and in 1914 they were continuing with construction, with 70 men working on the road. A consortium of local businessmen owned and operated the steamboat S.S. Revelstoke, which travelled north and south of Revelstoke supplying the farmers, miners and trappers who lived in those areas. There was considerable mining activity throughout the region, particularly the Big Bend, Illecillewaet, and the Lardeau. Several active forestry companies were in operation, including the Dominion Sawmill Company that had a large office complex on Victoria Road, and mills and logging operations throughout the region, including Three Valley, Revelstoke and Comaplix.

1906, and the Selkirk was built on First Street at Orton in 1914. Those two hotels were later amalgamated into what is now the Regent. The CPR also operated Hotel Revelstoke on the hill above the station. At the beginning of August in 1914, 18,000 acres of land in the railway belt south of Revelstoke were granted for homesteading, including 400 acres six miles south and 1,400 acres above Halls Landing. The land was available in 40 acre blocks and Ukrainian settlers had already begun homesteading in that area. Revelstoke had several sports teams and recreational clubs, including lacrosse, basketball, baseball, cricket, lawn tennis, football (soccer), hockey, and a gun club. The Rocky Mountain Rangers militia unit had been established in Revelstoke since the late 1890s, and the Drill Hall (currently Trans-Canada Fitness) had been built in 1902.

Mackenzie Avenue and First Street had seen a considerable building boom in the years prior to 1914, with the commercial shift from Front Street almost complete. Mackenzie Avenue and First Street were paved in 1914, and cement sidewalks were constructed. Three large banks, Molson’s Bank, the Imperial Bank, and the Bank of Commerce all had large buildings on Mackenzie Avenue, and C.B. Hume’s Department Store, at the corner of Mackenzie and First, was the largest of its kind in the interior of the province. Other businesses in the city included a candy factory, cafes, clothing stores for men and women, drugstores, cigar stores and pool halls, tailors, launderers and dry cleaners, meat markets, bakeries, grocery stores, hardware stores, jewellers, barbers, shoemakers, plant

nurseries, dairies, breweries, and a wine and spirit manufactory. There were also plumbers, electricians, tinsmiths, blacksmiths, harness makers, and fur buyers. Two newspapers, the Mail-Herald and Revelstoke Review were in operation, each with their own printing presses. In June of 1914, a disastrous fire wiped out seven businesses on Mackenzie and Victoria Road, where the parking lot next to the Canadian Avalanche Centre is now. The businesses included Trueman photography studio, a barber shop, Alex Hobson’s grocery and bakery, a real estate office, the London café, G.S. Adams jewelery store, and Reid & Barton photography studio. These buildings were never rebuilt. Several hotels were in operation on Front Street as well as on First and Second Streets. The Windsor Hotel had been in operation since

The Revelstoke Grizzlies whope to rebound from last year’s dismal season, starting with main camp in three weeks. Revelstoke Times Review file photo

Grizzlies schedule unveiled Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Grizzlies are scheduled to begin their new season under new ownership on Saturday, Sept. 13, when they head to Sicamous to take on the Eagles. Their first home game is the following Friday, when the Eagles come to Revelstoke. The Grizzlies start off with seven games in September, including four at home. In October they play only four of 11 games at home, and it's a similar story in November when four

of nine games are at home; and December, when the team only plays two home games out of nine dates. January is a busy month with 12 games, including eight at home. The schedule finishes in February, with five of six games at home. As usual, most home games are Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m., with a few scheduled for Tuesday evening. There are two Sunday afternoon home games, Sept. 21 against Grand Forks and Oct. 19 against Beaver Valley — both

start at 4 p.m. The Grizzlies have a busy exhibition schedule, with six games scheduled over the course of eight days. They begin with a game in Golden on Tuesday, Sept. 2. The following day the two teams face off again in Revelstoke. On Sept. 4, Revelstoke heads west to face the Eagles. On Sept. 5, they host a team from Whitefish, Montana, on Sept. 7 the Eagles come to town and exhibition season concludes on Sept. 9 against the Fernie Ghostriders. Main camp is set for Aug. 22–24.

Race goes on despite storm Bart Jarmula Revelstoke Cycling Association

The fourth race of the Arrow Helicopters XC Series got off to a thunderous start last Wednesday, July 23. Unfortunately it was thunderous in the literal rather than figurative sense. With fingers crossed that the storm would hold off, 21 riders braved the conditions to sign up for the race. As luck would have it the main storm cell hit hard 10 minutes before the scheduled start time. After waiting for the worst of the rain, winds and lightning to pass, we still held an abbreviated one-lap version of the race. I think riders were happy to have tested themselves against the slick conditions, however they were also

happy to only subject themselves to one lap. Australian pro Paul Van der Ploeg won his second race of the season while still managing to clear several trees off the trail while riding at the front. Thanks for the trail work Paul. Close behind in second was Marty Schaffer, while Josh Sinclair won a tight battle for third. Emily Unterberger won her third race of the season on the women’s side, ahead of AnneMarie Baribeau and Courtney Rennie. Visit the Revelstoke Cycling Association website for full results. The next race will be held on August 6 at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Race details will be posted to the RCA website next week, but expect two laps of Faultline and Big Easy with the start and finish at Revelation Lodge.

Beer pitcher cost cut as province revises minimum liquor prices “Upon reviewing B.C.’s minimum prices, we realized they weren’t on par with consumers’ expectations and we took action to find a fair compromise that still upholds B.C.’s high standards for health and safety,” said MLA John Yap, who heads the province’s

liquor policy reforms. The new regulations let bars and restaurants charge lower prices for selective times or occasions, but forced some low-price establishments to raise prices to match the new minimums. That will still be the case for

pints in some locales – bars that had charged less than $5 must raise their prices to that minimum for 20 ounces. The province has adjusted its The province has also increased new minimum prices for alcothe minimum price for spirits from hol in the wake of criticism over $2 to $3 per ounce. the rollout of new rules allowing Addictions experts had called “happy hour” discounts. for higher minimum pricing to reduce health and safety risks to drinkers. Alliance of Beverage Licensees executive director Jeff Guignard supported the spirit price increase in the interests of public safety, noting a patron previously could have bought five singleounce shots for $10. But he said the lower minimum beer pitcher price of $12 against a minimum 20-ounce pint price of $5 may encourage over-drinking and intoxication. “You’re more likely to start sharing pitchers than you are to buy individual pints,” he said. Provincial regulations limit a single serving of beer to 24 ounces, so pitchers can’t be ordered by a lone patron. But Guignard noted it’s harder for a server to track how much patrons are drinking when they’re ordering beer by pitchers instead of glasses. “You don’t know if a particular person has had one pint or had the entire pitcher.” The new minimums mean little for bars and restaurants that charge higher prices already. ® * Guignard senses a “rural-urban divide” in which many Interior bars charging lower prices than the new minimum will have to raise From prices, while that won’t Up to 60 Standard Definition generally be the case in much of the Lower and 26 HD channels Mainland, outside of parts of Vancouver.

A great weekend of slowpitch Brad Beerling

Chairman, Glacier Challenge

It's that time of year again, Glacier Challenge time! For the 27th year local and out of town ball players will flock to Centennial park for a great weekend of slowpitch, music, great food, scenery and most importantly, FUN! This weekend has been and continues to be a major economic boost to the city of Revelstoke, throughout the years this tournament has been able to give some major donations back: fencing of the softball field in the Big Eddy,

timing gear for the ski club, building of the Rotary and Kokanee fields, and the donation to build the water slide at the pool. Also included are several smaller donations each year to various groups and organizations. It is with your important and continued participation that these donations are possible, thank you!! As with any event of this size there is a huge amount of work, we could not do it without the help of volunteers that give their weekend to come down and help make things go smooth, thank you very much.

The local Rotary club will once again be manning the beer garden as will the ski club will be doing the camping, these clubs greatly depend on this event for a large part of their yearly income, one more thing this tournament contributes to. On behalf on the Revelstoke Glacier Challenge committee, I invite you to a great weekend of slowpitch facing the beautiful backdrop of Mt. Begbie and the mighty Columbia river. Have fun, stay safe, and PLAY BALL!

Revelstoke Bikefest back, bigger & better than ever Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Bats and balls and bikes… oh my! Bikefest Revelstoke is back for a third year, and this year it coincides with Glacier Challenge. That means in addition to the the bats and balls, there will also be a horde of cyclists in town, cruising on their townies, racing on their roadies, and adventuring on their mountain bikes. BikeFest was started by Brent Strand two years ago. For the first two years, it's been a semi-local affair, with group rides on Frisby Ridge and Keystone, a downtown crit race, and a poker ride. This year, Bikefest has taken off, with the final stage of TransRockies Singletrack Six mountain bike race kicking things off on Thursday, and the Mount Revelstoke Steamer Hill Climb finishing things up Sunday evening. In between there's the pedal n pint Thursday night ride, Friday night poker ride, group rides every morning, a trials demonstration featuring Ryan Leech, and the town tour ride Saturday evening.

It kicks off Thursday when the 300 riders take off for the final stage of the Singletrack Six race — a six day stage race throughout Alberta and B.C. (see next page for more on that). That evening you can join in the weekly pedal and pint group ride, followed by the race after party at the Traverse featuring Five Alarm Funk. Friday, Everything Revelstoke and Wandering Wheels are offering shuttles to the start of the Frisby Ridge cross-country trail. It's being called the unofficial seventh stage of Singletrack Six. That evening, the adult poker ride starts up at Glacier House resort and will end back in town. The after party is at the River City Pub. On Saturday, trials rider Ryan Leech will demonstrate his skills downtown at 9 a.m. Once he's done, a group ride will head to ride the epic Frisby Ridge trail. This is a smooth climb followed by a fast, flowy and incredibly fun descent. Meanwhile, a kids ride will be leaving from Skookum at 9:30 a.m. Later that day, Leech will give another demo downtown at noon.

There's also the Townie Show n' Shine outside the Village Idiot starting at noon. Bring your bike down to have it judged. Wandering Wheels will be offering three hours of downhill shuttling for only $25 starting at noon. In the evening, Brent Strand will lead the town tour — a mountain bike ride around the many trails that exist within Revelstoke's city limits. On Sunday, a group ride to Keystone-Standard basin leaves from the community centre at 9 a.m. The big event is the Mount Revelstoke Steamer — a 26 kilometre road race up the Meadows in the Sky Parkway — almost 1,500-metres elevation gain total. It starts from the base of the parkway at 5:30 p.m., or head up the road to cheer them on. The record of 1:09:13 is held by David Gonda. Or you can go shuttling with Wandering Wheels. Sunday morning there are plans for a heli-drop on top of Mount Cartier, followed by a 2,100 metre descent to the valley below. The cost is $150–200 and it will only go if there's enough demand.

More than 300 mountain bikers take off at the start of the first stage of the Singletrack Six stage in Bragg Creek, Alta., on Saturday. Gibson Pictures

Mount Macpherson awaits 300 Singletrack Six racers Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

By the time the Singletrack Six bike race arrives in Revelstoke on Thursday, the 300-plus riders will have been through a lot. They'll have ridden more than 200 kilometres featuring seven kilometres of elevation gain. Then they'll hit Revelstoke and ride a course that makes use of pretty much the entire Mount Macpherson trail network. "I think it's going to be the hardest stage," said Chris Bovard. "Stage six is going to hurt a lot," said Meghan Tabor. "I think Revelstoke will take a few prisoners, especially given the quality of the courses so far." Bovard and Tabor are two of 10 Revelstokians taking part in the Singletrack Six. The race is the new incarnation of the TransRockies mountain bike race. Instead of biking from point A to point B, the race now features six stages in five different communities. Stage one on Saturday was in Bragg Creek, Alta. It featured 47 kilometres of riding, with 1,800 metres of elevation gain. "That was the biggest climb day of them all. Not overly technical, just a lot of elevation gain," said Tabor. Stage two was at Nipika resort near Invermere. Another Revelstoke racer, Amanda Macintosh, described it as "Root Canal times 100." For anyone that's ridden that trail at Mount Macpherson,

the description is painful. Stage three was in Invermere, stages four and five in Golden, with the race wrapping up in Revelstoke on Thursday. The racers leave from Grizzly Plaza with a mass start at 10:30 a.m. They'll head across the Big Eddy Bridge and then south on Highway 23, turning into the Mount Macpherson trail network at the Flowdown entrance. From there, they'll zig zag up, down and around the network, from the low point near Begbie Falls to the high spot at the top of TNT. There's a timed descent down Flowdown before charging back to town for the finish at the community centre. The fastest racers will tackle the course in less than 3 hours. "I think we'll have the advantage because we'll know when to push it and when to hold back a little," said Tabor. Bovard's big fear is the climb up the Buff Trail from Begbie Falls to the highway. "It's going to slaughter people," he said. The other locals taking part are Bart Jarmula, Courtney Rennie, Cindy Maloney, Atsuko Knight, Shelley Paul and the team of Amy Guidinger and Mick Stevenson After two stages, Kris Sneddon was leading the open men category, with a combined time of 4:29:59, almost four minutes ahead of second place Cory Wallace. Matt Hadley, who won this summer's Stoked to Get Spanked race, was in third.

In the women's race, Kate Aardal enjoyed a comfortable 14 minute lead after the first two stages. Amongst Revelstoke hopefuls, Jarmula was 27th in the men's race, with Bovard less than two minutes back of him in 31st spot. For the local women, Tabor was 13th overall, Maloney sat in 15th spot. Macintosh 20th, Knight 21st, and Paul 31st. The race is run by the TransRockies organization and by all accounts, is very well organized. Macintosh said this about the feed zones: "You pull into the feed zone and a volunteer runs up, takes your bike and parks it. Another volunteer takes your water bottle and fills it up for you. You go to this smorgasbord of fruit and drinks and ride food and you just take whatever you want. You socialize with the people who are biking around you and you're ready to go." Singletrack Six leaves from Grizzly Plaza on Thursday, July 31, at 10:30 a.m. The finish line is at the community centre. "I'm looking forward to coming back to Revelstoke and racing in our home community on the last day," said Tabor, who also helped organize the Revelstoke stage in her role as Revelstoke's tourism coordinator. "There will be riders all up and down Grizzly Plaza. I'm really excited to see it come full circle and end in Revelstoke."

Natalie North Monday Magazine

This article originally appeared in Victoria's Monday Magazine on June 19. If there was a band that epitomizes the laid back, lovely island life on the West Coast, it might be Current Swell; the musical equivalent of cozying around a beach fire with friends, and a group founded by a couple of guys from Alberta. A couple of guys from the Edmonton suburb of St. Albert who, 10 years ago, fell in love with Victoria and from here have experienced a slow climb to where they are now: winners of the Peak Performance Project, booked at major summer festivals and travelling the world in support of their fifth album, Ulysses. “I feel like I was born land locked, but I knew it wasn’t the place for me,” says Scott Stanton, singer-songwriter/ guitarist for the band, on the phone from Portland the morning after a gig. “Right when I got to Victoria I knew, This is home, from now on. ... I was just coming up to visit a friend and I called my dad, told him to cancel my plane ticket home.” Stanton met up with David Lang, an acquaintance from St. Albert, who was just as taken by the West Coast and wanted to make it his home. The new locale became a major part of not

just their songwriting, Stanton says, but who they wanted to be. Soon the covers they had been playing during backyard jam-seshes gave way to early Current Swell originals – tunes at first influenced by their teen partying days, which have since evolved into the musings of musicians in the twilight of their youth, still rooted in a love for the lifestyle and packaged in the same tightly stitched harmonies and danceable beats for which they’ve always been known. “All of a sudden we were starting to write our own music and then someone else said: ‘Can I be in your band? But this isn’t a band; this is just us jamming,” says Stanton, who was 19 at the time. “The next day, that guy showed up with a bass guitar, learning all our songs and getting us all these shows.” That was Louis Savada, who eventually left the band due to the demands of touring on a young family, but also had the honour of showing Stanton and Lang the value of their work and motivating them to develop it further. Savada, still a close cohort, now plays with fellow Victorians Jon & Roy as Current Swell tours the world in support of their sophomore release with Nettwerk Records, Ulysses. While the band hasn’t quite provided enough monetary gains to let the guys quit their day jobs, ending the band isn’t a consideration after all their growth to date. “We’ve had a couple of ‘aha moments,’” he says. “It’s really amazing when we have such a great fanbase in Victoria, but we’ve been to places like Brazil where we walk on the stage and there are 3,000 people there who know all the words – but they don’t even speak English.” Current Swell, including drummer Chris Petersen and bassist Ghosty Boy, returns to Brazil this September, but not before offering their broad local fanbase an opportunity to hear their latest songs. The band brings the sounds of Ulysses, recorded last fall in Vancouver’s Greenhouse Studios and produced by Nathan Sabatino (of Dr. Dog and Neko Case acclaim), to the Glacier Challenge on Saturday, Aug. 2. “We’ve always held on to our fans and keep getting new ones from the younger and older generation. We were never in a place where we only had a bunch of 18 year olds coming to our shows. It’s always been like last night where there’s older women, they’re in their 50s, dancing harder than the 20 year-old Portland hipsters,” Stanton says with a laugh. “There’s all ranges of people at the shows – always. It never really changed. It’s just been growing.”

Friday: The Bitterweed Draw CONTRIBUTED

Emerging onto the Western Canadian music scene in 2011, The Bitterweed Draw’s high energy performances have ignited crowds everywhere from large festival stages, to crowded bars, local markets, private functions, on-air radio, and whiskey swiggin’ sunrises aplenty. This six-piece honky-tonk outfit combines oldetyme and bluegrass sensibilities with an edge of rock and roll swagger. Featuring musical medleys of electric guitar, lap steel, banjo, fiddle, infectious four-part vocal harmonies, and rhythm that keeps their audience moving all night long, this band is sure to light the barn on fire! The Bitterweed Draw released their

debut LP, Heart of the Old West, on March 9th 2012 to a sold-out crowd in Calgary, AB. With the lineup growing outside the venue and the realization that many fans would not be able to get in, the band took the concert outside. The energy in the air was so strong that the crowd grew to hundreds, while passersby and even police officers lent their clapping hands and stomping feet to the night of song. This instant connection with fans has kept The Bitterweed Draw growing strong across Canada. With a recent cross Canada tour and over 80 performances since their debut release, The Bitterweed Draw’s live energetic performances has captured the hearts of new and old fans alike.

Sunday: The Hip Show CONTRIBUTED

The Hip Show has emerged on the Canadian tribute band scene paying homage to one of Canada’s most beloved musical groups, The Tragically Hip. With

a number of shows as both a support act and headliner in venues across BC, The Hip Show is fast becoming established as the most authentic looking, sounding, and entertaining Tragically Hip tribute band in Canada. The band

features Matt Mattson as frontman Gord Downie, Joe Foley as Robby Baker, David Van Andel as Paul Langlois, Brad Uchida as Gordon Sinclair and Mike Satchwell as Johnny Fay.
