Council candidates answer to public

City council candidates and moderator Geoff Battersby enjoy a moment of levity during while taking questions from the floor during Wednesday night’s all-candidates meeting at the rec centre.

Exorbitant municipal spending and debt, barriers to development, water woes, a need for jobs and greater accountability and transparency in public office.

All these issues were touched upon last Wednesday evening during the first of two all-candidates forums organized by the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce. This one was for the 12 people vying for a spot on city council.

Throughout the evening, the audience of about 275 people heard candidates proclaim their love for the city. However, they also frequently heard the criticism/confession of how mistakes were made over the past term. Meanwhile, candidates and the public seemed to share the vision of a Revelstoke with reduced barriers to business, more job opportunities, affordable living options and livable wages, and significantly improved communication and accountability from council and city hall.

The evening began with introductions from each of the candi-

dates – Chuck Ferguson (incumbent), George Buhler (incument), Karen Powers, Steve Bender (incumbent), Treveor English, Chris Johnston (incumbent), Connie Brothers, Aaron Orlando, Gary Sulz, Gary Starling (incumbent), Scott Duke. This was followed by the candidates each answering a pre-written question chosen at random by moderator Geoff Battersby.

Up first was Aaron Orlando, who was asked what his position is on development cost charges (DCC) and if they’re achieving their intended purpose.

Orlando explained DCCs are a revenue stream for the city, and the current bylaw is generally OK. But he suggested, with real estate and development being stagnant, that council could look at the DCC fee schedule and consider reductions, 10 to 20 per cent, to promote growth.

Chris Johnston was asked if the city is receiving value for its dollar on the contracting of consultation services. He compared city staff to consultants, explaining there are some who give 110 per cent

and others who give less. He said, however, that the city can’t afford to have the wide-range of expertise often needed on staff.

“Do we get good value for money? Sometimes yes, sometimes no,” Johnston concluded.

Chuck Ferguson was asked what he thinks the city’s infrastructure priorities are, to which he replied the Big Eddy waterworks.

“Some of the things that happened there was unfortunate, but it’s time to move ahead with that…,” said Ferguson. “I think the biggest problem there is how long it takes and what grants are available and how we’re going to approach that, because it certainly is a concern for people over there.”

Linda Nixon was asked how she sees the city supporting arts and culture, to which she commented on the successes the city has already seen through use of tourism infrastructure money and the hotel tax.

“With that money being given back into the community, you guys are doing a super job – that has nothing to do with me, I’m not organizing any of those events,”

said Nixon, noting B.C. government representatives will be visiting Revelstoke to study what the city is doing right.

For Trevor English, the question was how might the city address the issues of the Big Eddy water system. English noted the current boil water advisory in the Big Eddy, stating the city has to look at how to safeguard the water system in the Big Eddy and other areas, and as soon as possible.

“We cannot continue down the path we’re on with the drinking water in the Big Eddy,” said English. “If it means extending the city system to the Big Eddy so they have drinking water, we have to do that.”

Next up was George Buhler, who was sked why the affordable housing project has stalled and if he’s in favour of that type of project. He admitted it’s an issue affecting a lot of people, but he isn’t sure it’s something the city should be involved in.

“I have a problem with that issue in most cases because it’s something that should be dealt with in

another way. It should not be on the backs of the city…,” said Buhler. “(The city) could maybe contribute to it, but I don’t think we should be the only person in that issue.”

Karen Powers was asked what the city can do to attract businesses that pay a living wage. She suggested tax and DCC incentives, adding growth is integral to bringing about higher wages.

“If we continue to support each other and work together with the businesses, the community and the city, that’s the only way we’ll probably move forward,” said Powers.

The question of how the city might enhance support for local businesses and Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR) was Gary Starling’s to answer. He said supporting local businesses may be more important than attracting new businesses, suggesting the city needs to look at, and try to address the problems they’re facing.

“If we give them the opportunity and the culture to grow their business, that’s a more cost-effective

Election 2014, from page 1 way of bringing employment and value to our community,” said Starling, noting it has been really difficult for the city to attract new business.

Attracting jobs was Scott Duke’s response to how the city might attract full-time families. He suggested it’s easy to bring people to

el ect i o n 2 0 1 4

Revelstoke, but difficult to keep them when they come up against the limited job market.

“I think it’s more of a question of what we need to do to attract great employers in our community, so people don’t have to leave to go work at the rigs or wherever else they’re going to support their families,” said Duke. “And that means… reducing the tax burden

on business. We have a tax structure in Revelstoke that’s one of the worst as far as business goes.”

What should the city do about the golf course? Gary Sulz said the only thing it can do to keep it viable is marketing. He admitted this is a challenge given the course’s location, but he also suggested the city approach RMR to see if they might include the course in their market-

Steve Bender challenged the question of what the city could do to attract greater citizen participation on committees. He marvelled at the level of volunteer participation in Revelstoke.

“Yes, it’s difficult, it always will be difficult to get volunteers… but I’m not so sure we have a volunteer problem, we just may have a num-

You thank them as much as you can because they deserve it.”

The last pre-written question was for Connie Brothers: What city services would you eliminate to reduce the budget.

Without having been on council, Brothers said that’s impossible to answer. But she did have some suggestions to improve the budget process. She argued budget deliberations need to happen sooner, and that more time is needed for analysis. She also said staff should be encouraged to find reductions.

“Council should say to the people below, the people working in the city, ‘listen, we need you to reduce the budget by a certain percentage… I want you to go away and tell me what your core services are and everything over and above that, we’ll see if we can afford, we’ll see if it’s sustainable,” said Brothers, adding council should also compare departmental budgets of past years when deliberating the current one.

Later in the evening, during the public question period, candidates were asked to identify, in two words, their strengths that would benefit them if elected. They answered as follows: Ferguson: approachable representation; Buhler: hands-on experience; Powers: caring, communications; Bender: fair consideration; English: Listen, understand: Johnston: big picture; Brothers: communication, ideas; Orlando: experience, communication; Sulz: open dialogue; Starling: common sense: Duke: action-oriented; Nixon: communication with upper government.

Church concludes congregation in light of declining interest LACHLAN LABERE lachlan@saobserver.net

With ceremony and some heartfelt sadness the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection has closed its doors.

The church held its final service on Sunday, Oct. 26. Included in the service was a ceremony for the closure of the congregation and the disposition of the church building.

Rev. Richard Klein has been the church’s pastor for the last five years. On the Thursday before the final service, he noted in a Times interview how, in his 45 years with the ministry he has only been involved with setting up missions, not their closures.

“It’s hard – it’s going to be very emotional,” said Klein. “That’s going to be a rough one for me.

We’ll move on, where the Lord can use us.”

Klein said his congregation was already small in number, further declining as of late with people moving away, or passing away.

He says this, along with declining interest in the church, are what led to the decision to close the doors at the church.

“It is my feeling that in this town, there’s just not much time that people spend for spiritual matters – they’re busy with other things.

That’s just the way it is. It’s the state of affairs here as I see it,” said Klein.

While the Lutheran church building at 1502 Mountain View Drive has been in existence since 1988, the church’s presence has been felt in the community for more than 90 years. Lutheran missionary work began in Revelstoke in 1910, led

by Rev. Alfred Rehwinkle. The first Lutheran services were held in the Big Eddy schoolhouse.

Klein said services were disbanded sometime in the 1940s, but returned in 1955 with the start of a new congregation under the name “Lutheran Church of the Resurrection.” Services continued in the schoolhouse until 1988, when the current church building opened.

Since its beginnings in the community, Klein says the church and its congregants have played a notable role in Revelstoke’s growth and development.

“I feel, historically, that they’ve been very active in the social aspects of the community. Not always with praise or holding themselves up, but just saying yes, this is what we are here for. Whether it be in community affairs – a whole matter of items and services,” said Klein.

Once the church is closed, and its contents redistributed, Klein said the church building will likely soon be on the market, adding he will continue to offer his pastoral services until he finds another parttime position elsewhere. He called the church structure a beautiful building, and a reflection of those who have cared for it over the years.

“I think the people who have taken care of it have shown their love for their lord,” said Klein, noting the church was built by a volunteer group called Labourers for Christ. “A lot of people worked on

that building, putting in their labour and their time. It was quite an exciting thing when the church was built and dedicated, and now we have to close the doors. So yeah, there’s a loss.”

However, Klein says the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection may yet again live up to its name and return to the community if and when the need should arise.

Revelstoke’s new BC Early Years Centre open house a success TRACY SPANNIER

Revelstoke Early Years Centre Coordinator

A new community service to support Revelstoke families with young children hosted its first event on October 18.

More than 100 families attended the bi-annual clothing and toy exchange, hosted by the Revelstoke Early Years Centre. Families were able to exchange outgrown items for new items at no cost. In addition, the Early Years Centre hosted an early years fair and open house, showcasing programs and services for families with young children. The open house featured StrongStart and Leap Land Saturday openings, as well as an Ages and Stages Clinic.

The Revelstoke Early Years Centre will build on existing services, and Parents have plenty to pick from at the Revelstoke Early Years Centre’s clothwill link early years programs and ing and toy exchange, held Oct. 18. photo Contributed services with the goal to work as one

team supporting young children and families.

The centre, located at 1001 Mackenzie, as well as satellite locations, will focus on increasing accessibility for families, increased awareness of family supports and more opportunities for drop-in services on evenings and weekends.

Early years service providers will focus on engaging families to learn more about what families need, and how they can best respond.

Next, the Revelstoke Early Years Centre will host a series of parent workshops, Nov. 6 to 8. In addition, EYC grand opening event will take place at 1001 Mackenzie on National Child Day, Nov. 20.

This new centre is the first step,as part of the B.C. Early Years Strategy, to implement a network of Early Years Centres throughout the province that will provide families with

one-stop, convenient access to a range of services and supports, information and referrals.

The strategy is an eight-year government commitment to improve the accessibility, affordability and quality of early-years programs and services for families with young children.

The Revelstoke Early Years Centre is one of 12 new centres across the province. The sites are in a diverse mix of urban, rural and aboriginal communities, and will build on existing local community resources to enhance services for families. Each centre will receive $52,000 from the Provincial Office for the Early Years for this fiscal year, as part of a $5.5-million investment over three years.

Our mothers always told us to button up .... or you’ll catch a cold. But the cold is caused by viruses not cold weather.

Candidate Q&A: How to boost the local economy and create jobs Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

As part of our ongoing election coverage, the Times Review has posed five questions to the candidates for mayor and council. If you have a question you’d like to ask the candidates, please e-mail it to editor@revelstoketimesreview.com for consideration.

Our third question is: Economic development has been a common theme raised by many candidates. What are your thoughts on the current state of Revelstoke’s economy? What ideas do you have to help boost the local economy and spur the creation of more, better paying jobs?

The Louisiana Hayride Show was a live radio show that ran from 1948 to 1960 and was broadcast from the Shreveport, Louisiana Municipal Auditorium. The show went out live over KWKH Radio every Saturday night all across North America and also to the Armed Forces overseas. It was instrumental in giving the start to such legendary giants as Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Jim Reeves and even Elvis Presley. Other notable artists appearing on the Louisiana Hayride stage included Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison, Ray Price, Marty Robbins, Hank Snow and many more Super Stars. The show you are about to see recreates that live iconic radio program complete with studio stage set, amazing tribute artists and live band. You will be transported back to a time when music was simple, words were understood and the sound was pleasant. This live music extravaganza will be a delight from start to finish. Come out and see this amazing and unique show.

More business means more jobs. I see a positive business outlook for the future and local retail sales are showing increases.

Downie Timber and the railway are busy and remain two important pillars of our economy. City hall does not have a working relationship with our third pillar, the resort, and city hall is not viewed by the business community as “open for business.” This has to change.

Our development and planning processes have to be improved, clear and concise. Applicants must be confident that if they follow our guidelines, they will be approved.

Looking at initiatives adopted by other communities, the mayor of Penticton spoke in Revelstoke and mentioned some ideas. They made land available for development at reduced or no cost, lowered Development Cost Charges, gave tax breaks, or did a combination of these. Over time these innovations will pay off. If council thinks it makes sense we should do it.

Revelstoke has a solid busi-

ness base and we should be helping and encouraging growth.

Last year, some business people made a list of businesses they thought would be viable in Revelstoke. Why not give someone a chance at a new business, have an existing business expand, or perhaps help businesses to relocate to Revelstoke A Canadian Federation of Independent Business report put Revelstoke taxes in the top 20 least sustainable in B.C. We haven’t been wasting our tax monies, it’s been spent on infrastructure, water, sewer and roads.

But we must do better with our spending. We should work collaboratively and vigorously on common goals, marketing, affordable housing and a solution to our golf course.

DAVID RAVEN I do not agree that the local economy is as bad as some would have you believe. Revelstoke has a balanced economy with strong employment in transportation, forest industry, power generation, services, construction and tourism. Over the last three years there has been significant growth and employment opportunity in all sectors, business licences are a record high at 972, building permits are higher than last year, there have been opportunities with construction, and Revelstoke Mountain Resorts’ business has grown. There has been growth in related smallbusiness opportunities, with some very innovative and creative new businesses.

I have taken every opportunity to talk to business owners and operators, and most expressed they were busy and doing well.

Development of both commercial and residential properties, and other opportunities in the community is necessary and a high priority for me and this council. We’ve made signifi-

cant changes in the planning and development services at city hall with more certainty, and clearlydefined processes for all developers and builders. I have maintained open office hours and ensured I was available to assist any developer or new business. My approach has been open, fair and consistent for all developers, with the understanding they understand the challenges of their business and want equity and stability in the development and regulatory process.

I have been working with council on a number of key initiatives that would encourage and facilitate economic development in Revelstoke. These include the recent announcements by Fortis for natural gas service, which will have significant savings for residential and commercial clients. I plan to continue my work on high-speed Internet service, improvements to the TCH, policing and highway rescue services, bioenergy and waste utilization, tourism development and expansion including the need for additional accomodations, housing developments and affordabilty, and stability in the business community.

STEVE BENDER Doesn’t every municipality wish and pray it had a sure fire way of boosting its local economy.

I believe it lies in City Hall and Council laying the foundation on which local business and commerce can build. That entails ensuring the city is supplying the basics of infrastructure; good water, roads, sewer, good sidewalks, garbage collection, policing etc. Once that foundation is laid, it’s time for government to get out of the way and let private industry build and flourish.

Naturally this includes continued work to make taxes fair and equitable, the business license process as clear and expeditious as pos-

CONNIE BROTHERS We need to concentrate on economic development to improve our tax base and maintain a healthy, sustainable economic environment. This allows the City to thrive in every way, provide jobs and greater and better services, and maintain our social services.

One of the ways of doing this is for the City to target one or two major projects to bring in new business. Here are a couple of ideas: The Rocky Mountaineer brings approximately $18 million into the economy of Kamloops every year.

Right now the Rocky Mountaineer comes through Revelstoke, stops, but passengers do not get on or off. Revelstoke would be a logical place for Rocky Mountaineer passengers to stop for a few days. The tourism dollars generated would significantly improve our local economy.

Revelstoke should look to become a “Centre of Learning” for adventure tourism and Eco- tourism. We are in a unique and natural environment for people to come and learn about guiding and other aspects of adventure and Eco-tourism. We already have Avalanche Canada in Revelstoke, one of

the premier avalanche information and training organizations in the world.

This is an industry which would fit into the culture and environment of Revelstoke, would generate jobs and would bring in revenue for the community.

Revelstoke is a “can-do” community and with a vision for and a commitment to such projects, in collaboration with other potential/necessary partners, these can be achieved.

SCOTT DUKE Revelstoke is fortunate enough to have a forward thinking, positive and optimistic population with a growing reputation of offering a high quality of life. This has created a demand in the market place for business and families wanting to move here. The challenge we face is despite this demand, we do not have the employment opportunities and development environment necessary for people or business to setup here. Here are some ideas that can be implemented over time to spur our economy: 1) City council needs to meet with our current business community for a brainstorm session, listen and set goals to bridge a brighter future. The first step is always communication and goal setting.

2) With targets set, all City staff and business owners need to work collectively to achieve these goals and set timelines for their achievement.

3) While we are changing our employer environment to make it more attractive we need an aggressive marketing campaign targeting specific business / developers we would like to see in our community. Trade shows, websites, cold calls and door knocking to invite new business.

The Quick Hit List – Tax deferment, discounted land, improved City process, increase tourists numbers and spending, incentives for building upgrades, readjustment of mill rate so it is more in line with provincial averages.

One thing is for sure. We need to ensure the opportunity for living wages, so everyone can live a comfortable life in Revelstoke.

we can spread out the tax burden that has been placed on the residents over the last few council terms.

I certainly think we must take a position of 0 per cent tax increase to spur some development. We also must review development cost charges. From what I understand, the DCC’s in Revelstoke are high.

I have heard from local developers and builders that the city is hard to deal with. The city has had developers walk away from multi-million dollar projects.

That is shameful!

We need to create open lines of communication with developers and builders to make sure they are getting the information and direction they need to move forward.

Like us, many people want to live in Revelstoke. We have to find a way to encourage them to come and stay.

CHUCK FERGUSON With lower real estate costs, lower interest rates and

more tourists coming to town, the economy of Revelstoke seems to be turning around. That said, there are many basic things that I’d like to implement that should have been done in the past.

These things include: • going to business trade shows with detailed information packages that show why Revelstoke is a great place to set-up shop • creating a Municipal Readiness Plan that shows what resources are available for new businesses

sible, the inspection process as quick as possible and a sign bylaw that lists rules and policies that apply for everybody. This last session of council has, I believe, finally achieved that with the, revised sign bylaw.

You ask about “more and better paying jobs”? For us to attract a factory that employs hundreds of workers at $25 dollars per hour or more is not likely, especially since most North American manufacturing is done in China, we have such a small labour pool and our geographical location is not the best for shipping. Therefore we must play to our strong suit; tourism.

“The current state of our economy?” Flourishing. Just ask almost anyone who owns a restaurant, hotel/ motel, gas station, gift shop, etc. how they feel about having two high seasons now. Business licenses are at another record high number, housing starts are up and Community Futures continues to offer expert help with start ups. These are the messages we’ve got to continue to get out to rest of the world.

Deal with our challenges, promote our strengths.

BVE implementing breakfast program for kids KENDRA BREMEN

Begbie View Elementary Teacher

Begbie View Elementary (BVE) is in the initial stages of implementing a breakfast program. The intent of this program is to provide all kids at BVE with the opportunity to eat and access healthy foods to start the day. The teachers and the BVE Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) believe that there is a need for this type of a program at BVE, as kids who are well fed are more ready to learn, more engaged in learning and better problem solvers.

Our vision for the program is to run a breakfast program two or three mornings a week starting in January of 2015 with the hope of expanding the program in the future. This program will provide students with access to healthy foods, teach healthy eating habits and provide an opportunity for the BVE school community to engage with the community of Revelstoke as part of an outreach program.

The goals of our program are threefold: 1. To provide all students at BVE an opportunity to eat and access healthy foods to start the

day, including children whose families can’t afford regular breakfast.

2. To provide all students with an opportunity to sit down and enjoy healthy food and time with their peers and members of the school community.

3. To help teach students about the importance of breakfast, healthy food and eating habits to start the day.

We believe this joint initiative being put on by teachers, parents, community members and students from intermediate grades and the high school will not only enrich our school,

but also help forge relationships between students, community members, and teachers. Studies have shown that breakfast programs decrease absenteeism, tardiness, and conflicts between students, ensuring student success.

Our hope is that you, as a valued community member/business can help this program be successful. This can be done via donation of time, discounts, products, ideas or funds. For more information or to donate please contact BVE at 250-8373085 and ask for Kendra or via email: kbremen@sd19.bc.ca.

Food-conditioned bears dining in Revelstoke SUE DAVIES

Revelstoke Bear Aware

Last week, a bear broke into several homes in Arrow Heights, some of them twice.

Bears in other parts of town have also been causing havoc - ripping siding off houses, breaking fences, tearing into

garbage sheds, pushing on windows, and generally becoming very comfortable dining on our unmanaged foods.

Garbage is the most common bear attractant in Revelstoke, especially at this time of year when fruit trees are mostly finished. It is the responsibil-

ity of each and every resident of Revelstoke to ensure that their garbage is not accessible to bears. Quite aside from the bylaw that says as much, our neighbourhood safekeeping depends upon it.

The City is currently considering creating a bear-resis-

tant garbage collection system.

Please lend your support to this issue by asking council candidates their views on timely implementation of the system.

For more information regarding management of wildlife attractants, please see www.revelstokebearaware.org.

Selkirk Land willing to waive confidentiality requirement Editor, As you know, Selkirk Land and Cattle Corporation instituted a multi million dollar lawsuit against the City of Revelstoke for breach of contract. A settlement agreement was entered into in May of last year.

As the taxpayers were made aware at the time, the settlement agreement includes a requirement that the terms and conditions of the settlement be confidential. Since the settlement I have on occasion been asked

L ET T E R S if Selkirk would be willing to waive the requirement of confidentiality if the City could be persuaded by the taxpayers to do likewise. With a seminal election looming the question has taken on an increased relevance. With the current Mayor’s stated goal of increased transparency at City Hall, I am now being asked the question more

often so in order to clear up any misconceptions, I hereby confirm that Selkirk is willing to waive the confidentiality requirement if the City wishes to release the settlement agreement in its entirety to the taxpayers.

Sincerely, Robert Powadiuk Authorized Agent for Selkirk Land and Cattle Corporation”

Candidate Q&A: How to boost the local economy and create jobs from Boost Economy, page 5 • welcoming input from the Chamber of Commerce and other progressive focus groups to stimulate more interest in Revelstoke.

The Chamber has a limited budget to pursue new business. Perhaps the town should be stepping-up to encourage business start-ups in Revelstoke. In business you can not wait for customers to come along, you have to go after them. In the interest of preserving Revelstoke culture and lifestyle, perhaps we can get smaller cottage-type industries like a pellet mill, a kayak building company, rubber recycling, private/public educational institutions, some sort of call center, etc. There are so many things we can be doing to create better paying jobs, but we’re not. Did you know transport trucks from Calgary drive right by here and have to transfer loads in Kelowna or Kamloops, only to come right back to Revelstoke? Revelstoke could be home to a trucking depot to transfer loads on to Nakusp, Nelson, Kamloops, Vernon, and Kelowna. This would increase our tax base, create jobs, decrease shipping costs for local businesses, and lower our carbon footprint.

Additionally, when local government tries to micro-manage new business, it discourages future development. I’d like to see the city step-back and let the entrepreneurs have more creative control of their businesses.

In closing, I would like say we have a lot of work to do and I am ready and willing to take it on.

CHRIS JOHNSTON The best way for government to help create jobs is to stay out of the way of people who really create real jobs.

What we as a city can do however is to do what it is the responsibility of a city to do and do it the very best that we can. That responsibility is providing a safe, clean, adequately serviced community with enough amenities , parks and recreational opportunities to make it an attractive place to work, play and visit. Fortunately without doing anything, because of its natural setting, Revelstoke already has a leg up on many other communities.

I am finding more and more that people want to come to Revelstoke

because it has a growing reputation as a great place to be and they want to be here. They bring with them their own visions and creativity to in many cases create their own and other jobs.

I do not believe that subsidies, grants and incentives in the long run create what I think we as a community are looking for.

I think the city can show itself to be truly open for business and can continue to promote itself as a great place to be, at live up to that promotion.

How is the economy? Since 2008, Revelstoke, along with most of the rest of the world took a hit. But, Revelstoke’s economy is respectable and improving. Our diversity stands us in good stead and will continue to do so.

LINDA NIXON Encouragement of better paying jobs is done with the city working with the business community. The Poverty Reduction Strategy and Social Committee members are working to build awareness of issues faced by the working poor.

The Economic Development Committee works at dispersing tourism infrastructure funds. Events organized by the sports and arts volunteer puts heads in hotel beds, which creates synergy.

Positive visitor experiences may lead to projects like the snowmobilers building a subdivision on Westsyde Road.

The Revelstoke experience is exemplified by the summer music in the plaza. Arts projects paid for by the resort enhance this.

The city has a role to play in shaving the business ratio. The economy is stable, the school population – a good indicator – is stable.

Small businesses have a tough time when they are a lone cook, craftsman or artist. Young entrepreneurs have the energy but still need support.

The province wants to come to Revelstoke to study our branding and indicators of stats on events. That which is measured gets improved.

New visitor stats show growing summer traffic. The Enhancement Committee has erected signage getting more traffic coming downtown.

A diversified economic base like forestry, BC Hydro, Parks Canada, CPR and Downie mills help with livable-wage jobs. Entrepreneurs like the local beef producer and Terra

Firma farms leads to more agricultural entrepreneurs. The Farmers Market is well supported.

Existing businesses wishing to grow and expand need to be celebrated.

We are on the leading edge of communities moving ahead; we need to honour that.

AARON ORLANDO Policies to promote economic and business development have been a cornerstone of my campaign, and they are based on my experience in city affairs and lots of listening to our stakeholders, economic development experts and business leaders.

They include: -Actively seeking partnerships to develop new stable employers in Revelstoke. The city’s economic development department just received dozens of expressions of interest to develop a biomass facility here. Yet some current councillors are still insisting city council can’t work to attract well-paying jobs here.

-Reduce commercial taxes. The ratio was the second worst in B.C. in 2011 and third worst in 2013. Council needs to listen to the collective voice of business in Revelstoke in the chamber of commerce. Every year they say that’s the number one issue.

-Finish what we started in our stalled development market through targeted reductions of our Development Cost Charges. Ten per cent?

Twenty per cent? Let’s be competitive.

-Explore the development of revitalization tax exemption zones to promote targeted and fair investment in key new industries and economic attractions.

-Measure what we manage in development services to improve our development process. If we are improving our service, we need to be able to prove it through numbers.

-Council needs open-door communication with the business community.

-Keep what we’ve got. This is key.

In media reports, for example, we heard clearly from Mt. Begbie Brewing Co. that commercial taxes are prohibitively expensive to develop a new brewery.

Find my platform at www.facebook.com/Aaron.Orlando.Revelstoke.Council for more economic development ideas.

KAREN POWERS I believe there can be much improvement in Revelstoke.

Attracting high paying industry is one way to boost the economy. Encourage industry that is here to expand... Downie or one of the other mills....plywood or pallets. Help promote project that are on the table right now to move forward (adventure part) even if they are outside our boundaries. We can offer DCC incentives, such as reduced DCC or have DCC payment over 5 years. We can offer tax incentives for a reasonable time line. We can also support low income housing or reasonable rental options Move projects along at a reasonable time frame to ensure building can be finished and the contractor can then move to the next project. The more jobs, the more of a tax base we have to operate.

GARY starling If we can trust our numbers, the economy is on an upswing. We know that the number of hotel visits is up; building permits are up, as are business licenses. I think this is an indication that our local economy is moving in the right direction. This is consistent with what is happening across the country.

What role does the City play in boosting our economy? The City has for several years, through the economic development office, tried to attract more business to Revelstoke. This is not an easy task. I do think that there are opportunities.

The tech field and education may be two areas where we can find people willing to locate in Revelstoke. Both may require investment in infrastructure.

As well, permissible tax exemptions should always be investigated as a tool to entice business into relocating.

Meanwhile, we need to work towards improving the climate for our existing business. Keeping taxes in check and delivering efficient services to business so they can, when required, expand.

GARY SULZ Revelstoke’s economy flourishes in the winter months. There are many more residents here to enjoy the winter activities and avail themselves of all the community has to offer. The summer months pale slightly to winter with tourist activity and dollars spent within our community helping to boost our bottom line. The shoulder months, April and October, when there are few tourists and few activities, is when we see the spending dip to a yearly low.

These are the times when we need to be creative. Maybe we should plan for a spring and fall celebration, or a festival to entice visitors and locals alike to come out and enjoy the community. I have been to communities where they celebrate the autumn leaves and these celebrations bring in people and their contributions to the local economy. With some work, enhancing what we have and being a bit creative may make the difference in your favorite restaurant closing or staying open in these off-season times. We encourage better jobs and better wages by enhancing the infrastructure we have in place to attract those who wish to be here for our amenities. If they come for these they may bring with them a new skill set to bolster our business community.

ADMINISTRATION

LINDSAY MACPHEE

Special to the Times Review

The BC Interior Forestry Museum launched its Winter Speaker Series on October 22 with a presentation by Dr. Nancy J. Turner, Ethnobotanist, Distinguished Professor and Hakai Professor in Ethnoecology, in the School of Environmental Studies, at the University of Victoria.

With a focus on traditional knowledge systems, land, and resource management systems of Indigenous Peoples of Western Canada, Turner has worked with First Nations elders and cultural specialists for over 40 years; helping to record, retain and restore their traditional knowledge of plants and environments, including indigenous foods, materials and medicines.

Her new, two-volume book, Ancient Pathways, Ancestral Knowledge: Ethnobotany and Ecological Wisdom of Indigenous Peoples of North America, is the consolidation of her years of research, and an attempt to answer four key questions: "How did the people ever learn all that they know? How did they share that knowledge across time, generations and space? How did they adapt that knowledge for different places, times and conditions?

Finally, how can that knowledge be preserved, maintained, brought forward and kept for the future?"

Turner's love of plants and genuine desire to respect and learn led her to form bonds of trust, creating friendships with many elders including Neskonlith elder, the late Dr. Mary Thomas.

As a child in Salmon Arm, Thomas spent many hours with her grandparents, learning about her Secwepemc culture; travelling to different areas in the mountains, digging root vegetables, picking berries and basket materials. Thomas even shared memories of coming to "Mount Revelstoke by horseback, with her family, to gather food... They collected mountain potatoes -a staple in the winter diet, avalanche lilies, and spring beauty down in the valley bottom. When those were finished, her people would move up to the plateaus where they hunted, picked huckleberries and gathered more avalanche lilies and spring beauties."

Many root vegetables would have been harvested in the Revelstoke area, as well as cow parsnip, the inner bark of trees, black lichens and medicines.

to a growing understanding that plant and animal use involved complex management traditions; making them more than just hunter-gatherers, and instead active parties in sustainable resource production systems.

Through ecological and social practices, Indigenous peoples have intentionally influenced the quality and quantities of the foods and materials being produced in nature.

Plants and environments are manipulated through large-scale and longterm activities, such as the use of berms or terracing to create and extend habitat for root and clam gardens; and by the very detailed actions of pruning individual shrubs to stimulate new growth. Indigenous Peoples are found to be long-time cultivators, applying a range of traditional practices and leaving minimal impact.

Turner suspects that areas around Revelstoke would have been strategically burned, creating prime hunting and berry-picking grounds.

Social management strategies to share knowledge are deeply rooted in tradition, embedded in narratives and ceremonies; reinforcing the respect and responsibility of ensuring resources are kept in good condition.

Turner has compiled a comprehensive look at the traditions of Indigenous Peoples and sees the potential for the application of these strategies in a modern context. She sees how humans can have a positive influence on biodiversity and the productivity of their ecosystems by becoming caretakers.

Professional Youth Production HERITAGE a hit IMOGEN WHALE

Special to the Times Review

The stage is stark, hay bales and pallets are scattered around.

The cast is garbed in uniforms reminiscent of Hitler Youth. Set in a repressive society, HERITAGE is a black comedy exploring the down side of patriotism. The play focuses on a group of misfit youth assembled in an empty cattle pen, waiting to close the annual May Day Celebrations with a performance of the nations anthem (a creepy, melancholy affair). As they wait, it becomes apparent they are gathered for a more sin-

ister purpose. The play ends with a final scene both touching and unsettling.

This Canadian premiere of the award winning play by Daydd James, HERITAGE boasts a compelling cast who all succeed in bringing their characters to life, supported by an organized, efficient technical crew.

Avery Matson is wonderful as rebellious Melony, with her tag along friend Jinx played by the expressive Dani Foisy. Grayson Norsworthy does justice to angry bad boy Jackson and Matt Kurtenback offers a strong performance as Dickhead Bradley. Julia

Dorrius and Maya McDowell are delightful as snarky sisters CariAnn and Jamie. Hailey ChristieHoyle is memorable as control freak perfectionist Lisa. Hannah Busch’s antisocial Tubbsy is spot on and Amelia Brown has her depressed Deirdre-May character down pat. Frankie Howe’s Douglas has lovely stage presence and Tristan Herle as Jurassic Mark is close to heart breaking. Jessica McInosh and Alice Dunkerson fill their off stage vocals with emotional depth. It’s not often every character in a large ensemble piece has crafted his or her character so believably.

Directed by Anita Hallewas, HERITAGE is Flying Arrow Productions first theatrical performance. Halleways is an avid member of the Revelstoke Theatre Company as well as an accredited teacher who is employed at Revelstoke Secondary School as a drama teacher. Flying Arrow Productions was born last year when she received grant funding for a youth theatre mentoring project from the Columbia Basin Trust.

The youth came together in April of last year and spent the end of the school year, the summer, and this past fall rehearsing.

The mentoring program means the theatre company is collaborative in many aspects. The cast of thirteen came to the table with many ideas and were involved in selecting the play.

Several of them helped with directing.

Described by McDowell as a “dark blistering comedy,” Dorrius explains, “we liked HERITAGE, it was dark and hardcore.”

Matson agrees, “it was fun to read.”

Stage Manager, Brynn Hoshizaki, Sound Design and Operator, Aleks Klassan, Technical Crew Riley Olson, and Prompt and Stage Crew Josi

Koerber are all students at RSS. Cast member Dunkerson designed the print media for the production. In the process they’ve learned how to design sound and lights, run the lighting and sound board, manage the cues, cast and crew, and accurately ensure actors and set are cued and ready to go.

Technical Director Sarah Harper credited the students with “rising to the challenge of operating every aspect of the show to a professional standard.”

Acting coach JP Lord agrees.

Halleways notes the point of the mentoring program was to enable the youth to run the entire show, without adult help, for opening night. “We succeeded,” Halleways laughs, “we’re superfluous now. In addition to the hard tech skills behind the scenes, everyone learnt team building, leadership and deadline skills.”

All the youth involved felt they learnt a lot and would happily do it again. “Next year maybe we can even do a musical,” Christie-Hoyle enthused.

Watch out for the next production this dynamic group puts on. It will be one you won’t want to miss!

Giving back is something The Great Plains (better known as Saskia Overbeek and Darrel Delaronde) have been doing for pretty much their entire musical career. At each performance, the musical duo donates a portion of their proceeds to the local food bank in that community.

“It's [our] way of paying back.

We leave what we can,” said Overbeek, who recalled how supportive the Community of Revelstoke was in starting their musical career.

“We started in Revelstoke years ago. The Chamber of Commerce and some others found some funding. We had a lot of success,” she said. And while the pair no longer call Revelstoke home (they recently moved from Saskatchewan to Vancouver Island) they still enjoy coming back to visit. In fact, Overbeek says they plan to spend a

few extra days in Revelstoke.

At the time of our interview, she is sitting in Edmonton during a stop on The Great Plains threemonth long CD release tour to promote their new CD Bluebird Trail.

“There's a real variety,” said Overbeek. “It's a truly Canadian feel.”

Asked about changing their name to The Great Plains, Overbeek admits that while the change was made a year and a half ago, it still hasn't launched with people.

“It will take time,” she said.

The decision behind the name change came about because both she and Delaronde come from the prairies – she from Holland, he from Saskatchewan.

“A lot of our music is inspired by life in the prairies,” said Overbeek.

The tradition of giving back will continue as The Great Plains plan to donate some of the proceeds from their performance in

Revelstoke this Thursday to the Community Connections Food Bank. Patti Larson, Community Connections Director of Outreach Services says the concert is taking place at an opportune time.

“It's a good time of year for the food bank because it brings back awareness for Christmas after the food drive,” said Larson. “It's a nice tie in because the food drive brought in a lot of non-perishable items and the cash will allow us to buy things like food for the kids snack program and fresh foods like milk and dairy.”

Saskia and Darrel aka The Great Plains perform this Thursday, October 30 at 7 p.m. The concert takes place at the Revelstoke Seniors Centre. For tickets and information drop by Community Connections, 314-2nd Street East or call 250-837-2920 ext.

28. Partial concert proceeds will go to the Revelstoke Community Connections Food Bank.

Cedar Shaker Cyclocross race magnificently muddy Michael Welch

Revelstoke Cedar Shaker Cyclocross

The first ever Cedar Shaker Cyclocross race was held on Sunday at RMR. Heavy rain the night before the event made for some fantastic race conditions. The wet landscape challenged the 40 racers who came out to test their fitness and riding skills against a course that weaved its way

around the parking lots and Turtle Creek area at the base of RMR. In the end, there were muddy smiles and lots of high fives.

The race of the day was the U12 race with Nelson Luxmore winning in a finish-line sprint against Alex Jay. Other notable local results were Aleks Klassen winning the U16, Heather Jay winning the Women’s Open, Thom Madlung finishing in third

place in the Mens Sport and Rich Hamilton getting the same result in the Elite Mens. Big thanks to all the volunteers who came out and helped make the event a success, and to RMR for hosting. The out-of-town racers are already asking if we can do it again next year as they loved the course and the venue. So, if you missed it this year, make sure you check it out next year.

The Turtle Creek area of RMR proved to be a great area to race Cyclocross.

The Food Network’s You Gotta Eat Here! Comes to Malakwa KELLY M. DICK

Salmon Arm Observer

It’s not every day TV crews come to film in rural, small towns, but an article about the food at The Burner Restaurant & Lounge in Malakwa piqued the attention of the Food Network’s awardwinning show, You Gotta Eat Here!, starring funnyman, John Catucci.

They network contacted the owners of the converted sawmill burner-turned restaurant, Tamryn and Nathan Koebel, of Vernon about filming there.

The restaurant has won six awards to date; four platinum and one gold from SnoRiders Magazine, and the Trip Advisor Award of Excellence in 2014.

For two days, cast and crew of You Gotta Eat Here! were on location, film-

ing in the Burner’s kitchen and restaurant. People came from as far as Kamloops to partake in the complimentary dishes and to be part of the interviews.

Catucci made interviewers feel at ease with his quick wit, continuous banter and definite humour during his non-scripted dialogue. (They only have one scripted line, their catchphrase “You Gotta Eat Here!”) Catucci could often be seen between scenes, posing with fans for photos and interacting animatedly with children.

You Gotta Eat Here! airs all over the world on Food Network, Discovery, National Geographic, TLC, BIOGRAPHY and UKTV. The filming of The Burner will be aired as part of the Food Network’s Season 4 of You Gotta Eat Here! in Spring 2015.

Obituaries Christina Crowe

Christina Crowe passed away peacefully at her residence, with her family by her side on Sunday, October 19th, 2014 at the age of 42 years. A Celebration of Life was held at the Revelstoke United Church on Tuesday afternoon, October 28th with Reverend Ken Jones officiating. Interment of Christina’s cremated remains took place in the family plot of Mountain View Cemetery. Flowers are acceptable, or memorial contributions may be made to the Revelstoke Cancer Support Group, c/o Revelstoke Credit Union, Box 989, Revelstoke, B.C. V0E 2S0, in memory of Christina.

Christina was born on December 21, 1971 in Nanaimo, B.C. She moved to Revelstoke in 1973 and except for five years when she lived in Grande Prairie, was a life-long resident. Her hobbies were cake decorating and flower arranging, both of which she did with beauty and professionalism.

Christina also enjoyed boating and camping. She was a proud member of the Dragon Boat Team.

Her joy in life was spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, nieces and nephew.

Christina is survived by her husband Tim of Revelstoke; three daughters: Sam Shore (Curtis Lowey), Breeana Hartley and Mandi Hartley, all of Revelstoke; two grandchildren: Chase and Kashton; mother Judy Minifie of Revelstoke; in-laws Dorn & Sheila Crowe of Revelstoke; brother Shawn Correnti (Kathy Conne) of Calgary; brother-in-law Jason (Dani) Crowe of Pitt Meadows; sister-in-law Amy Crowe (Ziggy Schmidt) of Revelstoke; aunt and uncle Geri & Don Crawford of Revelstoke; nephew Sebastien and nieces Isabella and Taylor.

Messages of sympathy may be sent to Christina’s family by viewing her obituary at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com Cremation arrangements were in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.

John Lawrence “Larry” Streeter We regret to announce the passing of John Lawrence (Larry) Streeter of Vernon on October 16, 2014 at the age of 85. Prayers were recited from St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Revelstoke on Friday evening, October 24th followed by the Mass of Christian Burial on Saturday morning, October 25th with Father Aaron de Dios celebrant. Interment of Larry’s cremated remains will take place at a later date in Vernon. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Revelstoke Cancer Support Group, c/o Revelstoke Credit Union, Box 989, Revelstoke, B.C. V0E 2S0, in memory of Larry.

Larry was born on November 22, 1928 in Edgewood, B.C. and lived most of his life in the Okanagan and Revelstoke areas. Larry and Agnes moved to Revelstoke in August 1962 where they resided until his failing health precipitated a move to assisted living in Vernon in May 2013, then onto complex care. Larry was a very quiet but dedicated man who gave many hours to his community. He was involved with the Revelstoke Snowmobile Club for many years. He was a groomer for the snowmobile trails where he loved to be up on the top of the mountain in the bright moonlit nights with the sparkling snow.

In earlier years he was also an auxiliary RCMP and a director for the Revelstoke Credit Union.

Larry was also the coordinator for the PEP Program for 10 years. His work took him all over the province with the Department of Highways bridge resurfacing crews, which meant spending a lot of time away from home and family. There are many roads in the province that have his footprint on them as well from his road construction days.

He was a grader operator prized by many a road builder. In Dad’s 83rd year, an incredible accomplishment by his daughter Elaine was to find his extended family, whom he had never known. Numerous new found cousins of Dad’s were able to visit from Alberta and northern B.C. to finally meet him as well.

Larry will be greatly missed by his loving wife Agnes of Vernon; son Leonard Streeter of Revelstoke, son Donald Streeter (Nola Carter) of Fraser Lake, B.C., daughters Marlaine (Cyril) Cooper and Elaine Kraft (Stephen Woolsey), both of Vernon, B.C.; grandchildren Lindsay Goettemoeller (Matthew) of Lumby and Dr. Jamie Kraft of Vancouver, their dad Peter Kraft; Bradley Cooper of Christchurch, New Zealand, Maureen Streeter of Edmonton, Alberta, Russell Streeter of Fort McMurray, Alberta as well as great grandchildren Jackson, Colter and Shiloh Goettemoeller.

Messages of sympathy may be sent to Larry’s family by viewing his obituary at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com Cremation arrangements are in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home

Grizzlies show improvement in splitting weekend games SAMANTHA ROBERTS Special to the Times Review

The Grizz took a 1-0 inner division win against Sicamous on Saturday night. It was a hard fought encounter in which neither team could really gain the upper hand or have periods of dominance. In fact, the only periods of momentum for either team came on the power play, with both teams performing well with the man advantage, only to be thwarted by great defence

and goaltending. Eventually however, the Grizzlies found a way through to the back of the net, with the games only goal coming on a power play during the third period at 17:50. It was scored by a surprised looking Kenny Batke, assisted by Josh Pilon and Nii Noi Tetteh.

Coach Ryan Parent was pleased with the teams overall play. “The Sicamous game was a good reflection of what we worked on this week. We eliminated 2 on 1, 3 on 1 and odd man rush sit-

uations that cost us in previous games. There was a full team effort,” he said.

Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Sundays game, which ended in a 3-2 win in favor of Spokane.

Spokane took the lead at 17:21 during a first period power play. Kieran Brunetti responded by getting the Grizzlies on the score sheet at 13:38, assisted by Derek Miskiman. However, Spokane quickly regained the lead, leaving the Grizz to struggle through the second

period and most of the third to try to level the scores.

When they did finally score a second goal, through Ryan Hozjan and Riley Creighton at 10:14 in the third, it was not to draw level but to reduce arrears, as Spokane scored their third goal of the game less than two minutes before.

Coach Parent offered his thoughts, “What we have to work on this week is to be there for the whole game.

There was a good 25 minutes where we weren’t in the

you can catch them in Kamloops at 7:00 p.m. Saturday November 1st at the McArthur Park Arena, or Sunday November 2nd at 2:00 p.m. at the Summerland Arena.

The Grizzlies are also proud to provide support this week to the Reader Leaders program at BVE and the Revelstoke Minor Hockey Association for their Halloween skate.

The Grizzlies will also be attending the Remembrance Day Ceremonies in November.

game.” He added that taking bad penalties contributed to the loss, something that had cost the Grizzles the previous weekend also.

The Grizzlies will look to continue improving their game next weekend, when they have a home Halloween fixture against the Chase Heat. There will be a prize for the best costume, so be sure to show up all decked out in your finest scary outfit. Puck drops at 7:00 p.m. on Friday October 31st.
