By noon, the duo were more than halfway towards their goal of 200 holes in a day. “We’ll break the record, for sure,” said Pearcey. Jackson and Pearcey started golfing early in the morning and they were set to go until nightfall as part of the Golfathon for ALS — a fundraiser put on the PGA of B.C. to raise money for ALS research.

More than half of Revelstoke businesses are having trouble finding workers, according to the recently released Labour Market Survey.

That finding is one of many in the comprehensive survey of the local labour market conducted last winter by Garry Pendergast and Janet Lemieux for the City of Revelstoke.

"It was no surprise it's becoming harder and harder to find workers and retain them," said Alan Mason, the city's director of economic development. "I think that's because there's lots of opportunities in nearby provinces that pay higher wages."

The survey was launched last fall in an attempt to get an accurate profile of the city's labour market, determine future labour market needs, find out how businesses attract and keep employees, and determine future training needs of the workforce.

In order to find answers, Lemieux and Pendergast interviewed 143 business owners and managers representing 150 businesses. They tracked 3,643.5 different positions out of an estimated workforce of 4,850 people. All major local employers were interviewed, including Downie Timber, CP Rail, see Survey, page 11

Bear Aware launches crowd funding for Gleaning Project

Over the past few years Bear Aware has been very active when it comes to harvesting excess fruit in Revelstoke. Several years ago, Bear Aware realized a need to help people who could not harvest their own ripe fruit and were leaving it for the bears.

To fill this need, Bear Aware created the Gleaning Project, which brings volunteers to unmanaged fruit trees (with the owner’s permission), harvests the fruit, and takes it to the food bank.

The Gleaning Project has been harvesting in excess of 2000 pounds of fruit annually to help the community reduce human bear conflict. Now they need your help.

“The Gleaning Project costs Bear Aware in coordinator hours, phone bills, and vehicle expenses each year, and we gratefully accept membership fees and donations to help fund it, but we need to grow the project to include more trees, and that requires more funding,” said Sue Davies, Coordinator for Bear Aware.

This year, Axis Mundi has generously offered to

help with a crowd-funding campaign aimed at raising funds for an expanded Gleaning and Canning Project, which will also include engaging kids in the whole process.

“I want to contact all those people who have not yet taken advantage of the project, and who let their fruit fall and rot on the ground, because letting fruit rot on the ground really steps up the attraction to bears,” said Davies.

“This year – depending on funding – we will be pro-actively visiting those people with fruit trees that are not being harvested. We will offer the Gleaning Project services to fruit tree owners and we hope that increased uptake of the service will provide lots of fresh local fruit for humans, and much less of an attractant to our ursine neighbours.”

In addition to the harvest, the Local Food Initiative will be working with groups of local kids to engage them in the process of turning the fruit into canned or dried fruit, much of which will also be donated to the food bank.

Bear Aware does so much to help our community live in harmony with our town mascots. Now it is time to show your support. Visit www.gofundme.com/kidscanproject to learn more about the project and to donate to this excellent local cause.

If you have a tree that you cannot manage to harvest, or if you want to help with the harvesting (and get to take home lots of fresh, local fruit) please email beaware@telus.net or call Sue Davies on 250 837 8624.

Bear Aware would like to thank Axis Mundi for setting up the crowd-funding event, and CBT, CP Rail, Bresco Industries, Revelstoke Credit Union, Revelstoke Community Foundation, BC Gaming, and Parks Canada for their support of the Bear Aware Program.

Revelstoke Adventure Park proposal going back to province ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com New applications for the Revelstoke Adventure Park are expected to be filed within the month, the proponent told council last week.

Jason Roe appeared in front of council last Tuesday, June 23, to provide an update on the proposed tourism destination, and get a vote of support for the project.

The bold plans call for lift-accessed mountain biking, bungee jumping, a zip line course, a mountain roller coaster, and an artificial lake with a mechanical surfing wave, all in the Greeley area about 10 kilometres east of Revelstoke.

"RAP offers recreational activities spanning all skill levels, and there are several attractions planned that have never been seen before in BC," states a project summary presented to council. "This unique slate of activities all in one location combined with incredibly easy access on a major national thoroughfare makes RAP a singular offering within Canada."

The project has been in the planning phase for several years now. The proponents, Illecillewaet Land Development Partnership, which include Roe's Black Tie Properties and Revelstoke Mountain Resort, first filed an application with the province in January 2013, only to have it rejected in July of that year.

Since then, they have been working hard to address concerns raised by the province and fine tune the concept.

"We feel we’ve worked hard over the last two years and spent a lot of money on studies. We think we’ve mitigated all the reasons, even the ones that weren't required," Roe said.

The project summary lists a number of studies and applications either completed or in progress. They include a wildlife assessment, wildfire study, terrain stability assessment, watershed assessment, traffic study, an Agricultural Land Commission non-farm use permit and a geotechnical report.

“We feel we've gone over and above what was required," said Roe. "We wanted to show the province when we got this application that they’d see that we've taken even bigger steps to providing a professional, thought out application that dealt with not just things they brought up, but other

Clockwise from top left: The Revelstoke Adventure Park includes plans for ziplines, a lake with a wave pool, lift-accessed mountain biking, and a bungee centre. ~ Images courtest Revelstoke Adventure Park things that we did that are requirements once approved, but we did before."

The development area has been modified to move it away from the City of Revelstoke's Greeley watershed, said Roe. Protection of the watershed was cited as a concern in the rejection.

“The intensive use area is over two kilometres from the watershed boundary,” said Roe. “We made sure we clearly defined there is no watershed issue.”

The adventure park, if approved, will be built on a mix of 257 hectares of public land and 100 hectares of private land. Part of the tenure would overlap with RMR's commercial recreation area.

Roe said they plan on filing two applications this month to move the project forward. The first is with the province for tenure over Crown land. The second appli-

cation is with the Columbia Shuswap Regional District for re-zoning the property.

Roe said that if all goes well, they hope to have a soft launch in the fall of 2016, with a full opening in 2017.

The plan is to build the adventure park in four phases. Phase one would involve design and construction. Phase two would see construction of a temporary base building with retail and restaurant facilities, an RV park and campground, a multi-use trail, pump track, aerial ropes course, two ziplines, downhill mountain bike trails and a bungee jump.

Phase three includes construction of a permanent base building built, a gondola or chairlift, more biking and hiking trails, the mountain roller coaster, a driving range and development of the bungee centre with a restaurant and viewing platform on a ridge

with views towards Revelstoke.

Phase four would include the artificial lake, a second chairlift, more ziplines, horseback riding trails, a mountain lodge and a rock climbing area.

An area dubbed Greeley Meadows will be set aside for hosting large events and the proposed 1,200 acre lake.

"We have plans for the lake and the first of its kind electric hydraulic driven wave pool," said Roe. "It’s like surfing in an actual wave in the ocean, but it’s mechanically driven.”

Roe said the adventure park would employ more than 200 people, not including construction.

Council was generally supportive of the project. "I’m excited about it," said Connie Brothers. "I’m hopeful it can do some good things for Revelstoke.”

A new baby in the family?

Congratulations! Just a reminder to keep the child on his back in the crib, don’t use blankets and pillows and dress the baby in a one piece sleeper. Also keep soft toys and

other objects out of the sleep area and don’t let anyone smoke around the baby. New babies should sleep in an area near where the parents sleep but NOT with the parents. All these suggestions will minimize SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).

Even though electronic cigarettes are not legal for sale in Canada, some people still use them. One of the problems with these devices is that there are no regulations about what they contain besides the liquid nicotine. E-cigarettes are relatively new so there is a lack of long-term

scientific evidence to support their safety. There is still concern that their use will lead to nicotine addiction.

Sometimes, people who are hard of hearing don’t let on that this is so. We want to know about it.

Record-breaking heat wave scorches Revelstoke ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com

It was a weekend to be near the water, with the temperature peaking at a record-breaking of high of 39.9 C on Sunday, according to Environment Canada. ~ Photo by Alex Cooper, Revelstoke Review

A new record high temperature was set in Revelstoke on Sunday. The thermometer peaked at an oppressive 39.9 C at around 5 p.m., shattering the old mark for June 28 set 90 years in 1925, when it was a breezy 35 C. Friday and Saturday were also scorchers – the high was 34.2 C both days – but not hot enough to top the 1925 heat wave, when the temperature topped 36 C both days.

Sunday's high wasn't quite an all-time record, but it did come close. The hottest temperature ever recorded in Revelstoke happened on July 17, 1941, when the thermometer hit 40.6 C. Records for Revelstoke go back to 1898.

Still, Sunday's high did set an extreme record for June.

"No matter how you slice, it was one hot day," said Lisa Coldwells, a meteorologist with Environment Canada.

She said temperatures are expected to remain above normal for the rest of the summer.

The heat wave prompted a special weather statement from Environment Canada.

It also led to an alert from the Southeast Fire Centre, who raised the fire danger rating around Revelstoke to extreme over the weekend.

"Following an unusually dry spring and with near record-breaking temperatures expected in the region over the weekend, the Southeast Fire Centre would like to remind the public of the elevated fire danger," the fire centre warned. "The forecast for the weekend is calling for low humidity levels as well as poor overnight recoveries, which may cause fine fuels to be particularly prone to quick ignition."

They warned of potential for both lightning and human caused fires. As of Monday morning, there was only one forest fire recorded in the Columbias — in a remote area of the Rocky Mountains north of Golden.

City, firefighters sign contract ALEX COOPER

A new agreement has been reached between the City of Revelstoke and its professional firefighters.

The city and the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) Local 1746 announced the new contract Thursday morning.

“Mayor and council place a high value on the professional services of the firefighters in Revelstoke and we are pleased to see the collaborative effort displayed by Management and the IAFF that was essential in completing this agreement," said Mayor Mark McKee in a news release.

The lengthy contract is retroactive to 2012 and lasts through until 2019.

It calls for minor benefit improvements and increased flexibility for the city to schedule staff. It also includes language promoting health, fitness, and training standards.

The contract does not set out wage increases. Those are determined by provincial negotiations and will be based on settlements at larger fire departments.

“We are pleased with this long term agreement that provides fair wages and benefit improvements for our members," said Dan Hutchison, the IAFF local president. "We would like to thank Mayor McKee and council for their support in ratifying this agreement.”

Firefighters are regularly amongst the highest paid city employees, often topping department managers in salary.

Council asks BC Hydro to reconvene Columbia River Flats committee ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Revelstoke council asked BC Hydro to reconvene a committee to oversee use on the Columbia River Flats.

Council was faced with two requests at its meeting on Tuesday. One was to ask BC Hydro for funding for an enforcement officer for the area. The other was to have them reconvene the Upper Arrow Lakes Drawdown Zone Advisory Committee.

After some discussion, they opted to go with the latter. "“If we can get this committee re-convened, maybe these issues will resolve themselves," said councillor Scott Duke, who was sitting in the mayor's chair in Mark McKee's absence. "It may take longer than we think, but at least they’re getting looked at.”

Enforcement of regulations on the Flats has been an ongoing issue that emerged to the forefront recently when the North Columbia Environmental Society asked for a ban of motorized recreation on the Flats.

The issue came back to council on Tuesday, with two motions recommended by city committees.

There was some confusion over what exactly was being requested.

“I’m not too sure what we’re asking for? We’re asking for additional enforcement services - what

does that entail?" asked coun. Connie Brothers.

Alan Mason, the city's director of economic development, said it could mean funding to hire an extra RCMP officer or Conservation Officer.

“At this point neither agency has the capacity for enforcement there," he said. “I know the stakeholders have complained to hydro and they’re frustrated nothing’s happened.”

BC Hydro owns about 63 per cent of the Flats.

He suggested reconvening the advisory committee before asking BC Hydro for extra enforcement.

Council voted unanimously to go in that direction.

Loni Parker, the director for Area B Rural Revelstoke, wrote a letter to BC Hydro requesting funding for enforcement but was turned down.

"It opens up a dialogue," she said. "They did state they have instructed staff to work with us to find a way to resolve some of the issues, so we'll have further discussions."

She hopes to maintain pressure on BC Hydro so it takes more responsibility over the lands it owns in the drawdown zone.

"It's an ongoing issue. It's a little bit disheartening to see this conversation is still taking place after the years of discussion we have had," she said. "I'm hopeful we can sit down with BC Hydro and work something out that will help the community."

Macpherson discussion postponed ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Revelstoke council is hoping Mayor Mark McKee can use his political connections to bring forward a new planning process for Mount Macpherson.

McKee was away for the June 23 meeting of council, when a letter on the issue was received from Steve Thomson, the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

The letter rejected council's request for a new land-use plan for the Mount Macpherson area, and expressed support for the current processes in place. It was essentially the same letter sent to the Columbia Shuswap Regional District on the

matter.

Council decided to wait and see if McKee would be willing to use his political pull in Victoria before pressing the matter. McKee ran for the BC Liberal Party in the 2009 provincial election.

“I don’t know whether we should put this back on to the next council meeting so he can comment as well," said councillor Connie Brothers.

Coun. Aaron Orlando seconded her recommendation.

"From the start I think the community is hoping for heightened planning in this area," he said.

"I don’t think this response gets the community where we want to go and I’d like to move forward with continued discussion.

"There is the option for him to go to Victoria,"

It was a busy first six months for myself and all of Council. We were able to check off many of the pre-election issues.

Council and staff worked in conjunction with the Big Eddy Waterworks by pursuing funding opportunities to upgrade the system in order to achieve water security for residents and businesses. The City is waiting to hear from higher levels of government on the outcome of the multi-million dollar grant application for upgrades to the system.

The results of the application will be made available in the fall of 2015.

If the City is successful with the grant application, there will be a public engagement and consultation process in which the Big Eddy water users will vote on whether they would like the City to take over operations and if they approve of their share of the cost. The total cost will be made available so that property owners can make an informed decision.

Council, city staff and crews addressed the sewage treatment plant odour issues by installing two Gridbee mixers in the first lagoon which will assist in improving treatment efficiency and reduce the potential for odours; and by installing an air charcoal filtration system.

Residents have noted a great improvement.

Council’s number one priority is to continue to improve customer service. ~ Mayor Mark McKee completed and council and staff welcomed the public to an open house on April 17. The newly located Engineering and Development Services Department provides service from the new Second Street entrance. This project has upgraded customer service as well as much needed handicapped access.

The 12-unit affordable housing project building permit has been issued to BPR Construction and the Revelstoke Affordable Housing Society. Although still waiting for final approval, the site has been prepped and footings have been poured.

Bylaw Enforcement and Public Works staff have found the implementation of the SeeClickFix program beneficial in terms of logging service requests and following up on issues. We encourage residents to log their issues on the SeeClickFix app or through the link on the City of Revelstoke website.

Council’s number one priority is to continue to improve customer service. The public has seen a significant improvement in the application flow through City Hall with sign permits being issued within one or two business days from application date. Building Permits now average 10 days from application to issuance and effective implementation of a 24 hour response time to inquiries. Development Services has issued 143 building permits so far in 2015, with a value of $10,068,000, well over the yearly numbers for 2013 and also projected to be more than 2014.

Business licenses hit the 1,000 mark in June!

Also underway is an Official Community Plan (OCP) review. The initial stages will be worked on in various committees and a public process will start early next year.

Council’s second priority will see Council and staff continue to focus on transparency and communication with the community through media releases, social media updates, the weekly Mayor's Report, and the drop-in sessions with the mayor at City Hall on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

A Golf Club Task Force has been set up to look into making the course financially stable with a goal of providing the community an economic driver as well as a great recreational facility. We are currently in negotiations with a private company to lease and improve all facilities at the course.

The Farwell Park pool matter has seen community members step up and become involved. Parks, Recreation and Culture staff are working with the splash park group to determine feasibility, design and potential funding opportunities.

In the next six months, Council will complete their first year in office and will devote time to work with the Director of Finance, Financial Focus Group and management on taking an in-depth look at municipal budgets and taxes.

This year Council will be involved with every department from the beginning of the budget process through to adoption, with the goal to have more public consultation and to have the budget in place by the end of the year.

BUSINESS

Le Marche opens its doors with emphasis on quality IMOGEN WHALE

Special to the Revelstoke Review Walking through the door into Le Marche, Revelstoke’s new market, one can’t help but be impressed with the quality presented.

Reminiscent of a European or large city market, quality is exactly what Le Marche’s owners are aiming for.

“Our goal was offer local food as much as possible,” Sonia Ratté explains. “Along with high quality imported foods. There is nothing mediocre.”

Le Marche opened Saturday, June 20, with little fanfare or advertising. “It’s been steady, which is what we hoped for,” Ratté says. “We wanted to make sure we had everything organized before we advertised.”

Regardless of their quiet opening, customers have been streaming through the market.

The new venture for La Baguette owners Ratté and Olivier Dutil has actually been in the works for some time. The focus on quality ingredients and presentation is something La Baguette has long practised, and is unsurprising considering both Dutil and Ratté are classically trained chefs. They run several other enterprises, including a La Baguette location at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, the winter only station at the top of the Gondola, and a summer gelato stall at the Roxy Theatre. As well, they provide a catering service.

Le Marche represents what Ratté had initially wanted to create with La Baguette but lacked the store front space to do so.

Left: The daily goods and cheese counter. Right: Spices can be bought in bulk. ~ Photos by Imogen Whale La Baguette, an incredibly popular cafe in town, will still carry baked goods and even more desserts, while Le Marche will carry the cheeses, fresh pastas and salads.

“La Baguette gets very busy, with a long line, for people just wanting some cheese or pasta or salad. Now they can come to Le Marche and get those items without the coffee line,” Ratté says.

Le Marche is much more than items from La Baguette. Wandering through the store one sees everything from fresh produce (grown in Revelstoke or the Okanagan), bulk spices, oils made from

pecan to pistachio, balsamic vinegar, cans of white truffle and porcini sauce, varying sizes of Italian tomato sauce, to frozen wild meats like venison, duck, wild boar, and salmon steaks, all priced as competitively as possible. There is a space for an outdoor market area Ratté soon hopes to ultize. “We are still filling our shelves,” Ratté laughs.

“There is more to come.”

Joining Ratté and Dutil in this new venture is co-owner Sarah Jeanne, who Revelstokians may recognize from her two years working at La Baguette. Jeanne and Ratté actually hail from the same small town in

Quebec, St-Raymond, though they didn’t know one another before living in Revelstoke. Ratté is thrilled to have Jeanne on board.

“Sarah is wonderful, and we have the same vision for Le Marche.”

Jeanne, Ratté and Dutil want Le Marche hours to work for the people of Revelstoke.

They are open seven days a week, accommodating residents’ various schedules. Le Marche truly does have something for everyone. Head down and see what all the chatter is about.

What's your favourite Brown Bag History talk?

Michelle Cole

ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Last week, the Revelstoke Museum & Archives published Cathy English's Brown Bag History — Revelstoke Origins, the first in what may be a series of books based on her local history talks. The book was launched with a private-talk for Brown Bag regulars on Wednesday, and a public launch on Thursday. With more than 200 stories told, we asked people their favorites: Above, from left:

Jacolyn Daniluck

"I know it sounds terrible but I love the murder and mayhem talk. Also, because of my job with Parks Canada, I love all the talks about the national parks."

YOU WORK. YOU DRIVE.

"I really like the Big Bend Highway because this is a part of history she ties all the way through. It's one of those untold stories people don't realize existed."

Glen Baker

"The gold rush. I've always been fascinated by it. I wonder what it would be like living in those towns."

Don Hawker

"The Big Bend country. There was so much history up there. The road was built just before I was born, so I recognize a lot of the names."

Laura Rooney

"I don't know. (Cathy's) just a master storyteller. She's inspirational. You go to any event Cathy is talking at and you come away warm inside."

SUNGLASSES DAY

Stoke Youth Network

Shana Codd-Wozniak has lived in Revelstoke since she was five and has called Revelstoke home for the last 11 years. As a typical 16 year old, Shana enjoys music and hanging out with her friends. Shana has an amazing voice and loves to sing and play guitar in her spare time!

She hopes to be a musician, music teacher or tattoo artist someday.

Something that is different about Shana is that she stands out among her peers as someone who has taken on a leadership role in her school and in the community. While she may at first seem shy, Shana is a strong leader and someone who takes initiative. In 2013, Shana had the opportunity to go to the We Day event in Vancouver and started getting involved with the Stoke Youth Network. Since then, Shana has worked on various projects including 'Me 2 We' fundraisers and the Leave Out Violence youth media projects.

Shana's passion for helping to make her school and community a better place, motivated her to apply for a CBT Youth Action Grant to host a second Leave Out Violence youth media workshop that took place this past spring.

The workshop addressed issues of hate, homophobia, and bullying. Shana created a powerful media piece that addressed labels and stereotypes that was then shared in all four schools along with those of her peers.

Shana is an advocate and friend to those that are different, including the LBGTQ community. You will see Shana as a proud Safe Space supporter, walking in this year's Canada Day parade. Shana has worked to engage her friends and peers in various projects, including those that would normally shy away from these sorts of extracurricular activities. Shana is a good friend to many, is a positive and caring person, who despite advisory has proven her ability to rise up and make a difference in our community and the world!

June 27 was National Sunglasses Day and in the midst of this amazing summer weather while most people recognize the importance of sunscreen to prevent burns and skin cancer, many are unaware of the damaging effects that UV can have on their eyes.

Overexposure to UV rays can cause a wide array of eye problems including cataracts, corneal degeneration, macular degeneration, abnormal growths on and around the eyes and sunburn of the eye.

And, did you know that most of the damage starts to occur in childhood? Over 50% of lifetime exposure to UV occurs before the age of 18.

So how can we help protect our eyes from the damaging rays of the sun?... EASY, by wearing a great pair of sunnies all year round.

How to pick the right sunglasses? Find a pair that looks good, is comfortable but most importantly find sunnies that block out 100% of UV-A & UV-B radiation and screen out about 70-90% of visible light.

Scratches and imperfections in lenses can lead to reduction in the amount of protection so make sure to take good care of those sunnies.

Revelstoke Optometry Centre carries a wide variety of sunglasses including Maui Jims, Serengetti & Smith to name a few. Many of these styles can be made into prescription sunglasses. You can also get transition lenses (darkens with sun exposure), fit over sunglasses & clip-on sunglasses. Did you know that some contact lenses also block UV-A & UV-B rays?

Come see us today about the best option to protect your eyes from the sun!

ILLECILLEWAET AND BIG EDDY DYKES TRAIL CLOSURE BC Hydro would like to notify Illecillewaet Dyke and Big Eddy Dyke trail users of periodic trail closures starting Wednesday, July 8, 2015 for noxious weed control. The weed control work is planned along the Illecillewaet River Dyke from the Fourth Street Bridge downstream to the BC Hydro Illecillewaet Substation, and along the Big Eddy Dyke from Highway 23 South, around the walkway to Big Eddy Road and the CPR rail grade.

Signs and barricades will be placed at access points to notify users of the trail closure.

For more information please contact Adam Croxall at 250 814 6682 or by email at adam.croxall@bchydro.com.

4647

Both dykes have infestations of noxious weed species including blueweed, spotted knapweed, oxeye daisy, Himalayan balsam and hawkweed. Weed control is required to limit the spread of the weeds to other areas by trail users, bicycles, dogs and wildlife. The weed control work involves the selective application of a weed control herbicide to problem areas.

Within 24 hours of the application the herbicide will be fully absorbed by the vegetation and pose no risk to humans or animals.

The Revelstoke Highlanders Pipe Band kicked in the first night of music for the Summer Street Festival on Friday, June 26. They played a few songs before making way for performances by the Revelstoke Community Band and other local performers for the first of 66 nights of music. There's a great lineup this week, with Sean Ashby, Devon Coyote, Denis Severino, Joanne Stacey, the Novascotiables, and Steve Palmer playing the plaza from July 1–7 respectively.

NEWS

Labour Market Survey contain seven goals for future Survey, from page 1 Revelstoke Mountain Resort, Interior Health, Parks Canada, the City of Revelstoke, the Revelstoke School District and BC Hydro. Only employers, and not employees, were interviewed — a shortcoming recognized by the report authors.

Overall, a key message in the survey is that the labour market is tightening.

The tourism sector employs the most people as a whole, with 30.4 per cent of surveyed positions in food & beverage, accommodation and tourism services. Government jobs make up 22.3 per cent of the work force, while forestry is third, representing 19.2 per cent of the workforce.

are full time. Fifteen per cent of jobs are for the winter season, reflecting the growth of the winter tourism market.

The bad news is that finding workers is becoming an increasing challenge, with more than half the businesses in town saying they have trouble attracting or keeping workers.

"Many of the difficulties focused on finding seasonal workers, but often business owners (72%) stated that there were simply not enough applicants to choose from when posting for positions," the report states.

"Other issues centred on applicants’ lack of experience, skill, and training along with the businesses owners’ ability to offer competitive wages."

The high cost of living in Revelstoke is also

Naturally, good pay was regarded as very important. The survey found that 28.9 per cent of jobs paid more than $30 per hour, but 27.1 per cent payed less than $15 per hour.

Most jobs paid more than $20 per hour.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FUTURE The Labour Market Survey lays out seven goals for the future. The first goal is to promote Revelstoke as a place to do business and work. This includes two objectives of maintaining a diverse economy and supporting existing businesses.

The second goal is to help businesses with their hiring needs. 91 per cent of employers

Now that it's complete we're going to sit down and look at the all the actions and recommendations and coordinate it through the labour market network. ~ Alan Mason There's good news in the report. Almost half the businesses in town expect their staffing levels to remain the same in the next five years, while 45 per cent forecast expansion. Forestry, food & beverage, tourism and construction are expected to see the biggest job growth.

As well, Revelstoke isn't expected to face the same labour crunch as the Baby Boomer's retire. More than half the workforce is between the ages of 25 to 44, and less than 10 per cent is between the ages of 55 to 64.

"Revelstoke’s labour challenges will likely lie in the fierce competition for the same pool of talented workers with other regions as statisticians say that for every two baby boomers who retire, there is less than one worker to replace them," the report states.

There is also good job stability in Revelstoke; more than half of all positions in town

cited as an issue.

Occupations with the highest turnover were almost all low-paying service sector jobs such as cashiers, kitchen employees, and servers. General labourers and health care workers also had high turnover.

Positions that are difficult to fill include truck drivers, machine operators, bicycle mechanics, housekeepers, heavy duty mechanics, kitchen staff, and building construction.

The survey looks at how businesses hire and how they keep staff around. Businesses prefer to hire local workers, and word-ofmouth and employee referral are often used as they best way to hire people. They also used WorkBC, Facebook, the Stoke List and the Review to post job ads.

Job flexibility was considered a key for retention, along with making workers feel part of the team and appreciated.

MEALS ON WHEELS VOLUNTEER DRIVERS NEEDED

BC Health and Housing operates a subsidized meal program for seniors and shut-ins which delivers 'hot' meals 3 times per week throughout the community on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 4:30 and 5:30 pm. These meals are prepared at Moberly Manor along with the meals for the residents.

said the would take part in a collaborative initiative that promoted retention and attraction strategies. The third goal was to do a better job promoting job openings.

The fourth goal was to "support a responsive and sustainable approach to immigration." This includes raising awareness of various immigration programs such as the Provincial Nominee Program and the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program. In both those cases, employers said the programs were bogged down by bureaucratic delays, making it difficult to take advantage them to hire people. "Businesses who require workers, usually need them urgently, or at least need to be aware of the processing time, so they can plan accordingly," the report states.

The report recommends lobbying the government to improve these programs. It also

recommends providing support services to immigrant workers.

The fifth goal is to "realize the full potential of Revelstoke's current workforce." The report recommends getting more women, mature workers, youth, disabled and First Nations into the labour market.

The sixth goal involves retention of skilled employees. This includes providing yearround opportunities for seasonal workers, reducing the number of high turnover jobs, and promoting retention strategies.

The seventh goal is to improve training to meet current and future skill demands. One of the specific recommendations here is to establish a culinary arts school at the Revelstoke Secondary through Okanagan College.

Work is already underway to implement the recommendations in the Labour Market Survey. Alan Mason said that a stakeholder group has been established through WorkBC. "Now that it's complete we're going to sit down and look at the all the actions and recommendations and coordinate it through the labour market network," he said.

Immigration challenges were raised as a key issue to address.

"The one thing that stood out to us that solidified our frustration to is the provincial nomination program and the TFW program," said Judy Goodman, the executive director of the Chamber of Commerce.

Mason said it would take lobbying to fix the programs to make them more useful for employers looking to recruit foreign workers.

As well, Community Futures is embarking on a living wage study to look at the feasibility of increasing wages at lower paying jobs. "This living wage research we're just starting to do will be interesting," said Mason. "We want that driven by business. We want to make the business case that if you pay your employee a living wage, does that make sense?"

Revelstoke Aquaducks Despite the intense heat in Kelowna at the H2O center over the weekend, the Revelstoke Aquaducks managed to swim exceptionally well in their first heatsand-finals meet of the season. This weekend was a true test of the Ducks’ speed, as there were multiple teams from other regions in attendance, who brought their fastest and toughest swimmers to the Okanagan.

Nolan Gale shaved two seconds off his personal best time to bring down teammate Jackson Litke’s 100 meter freestyle record from last year. Senior swimmer Beth Granstrom swam her first full meet of the season with style, breaking two club records in the 100 meter freestyle and the 100 meter backstroke, though a disqualification in her first event took her out of aggregate contention.

Many other Aquaducks did win aggregate medals as rewards for their consistent swimming, helping the Ducks place second overall for team points, despite being severely outnumbered. Division 1 Girl Autumn Griffith-Doyle won a silver and was the highest finisher from the Okanagan in her division. Like Granstrom, Ryder Litke was disqualified in his first event, though he still managed to snag a bronze aggregate for the Division 1 Boys, finishing behind Bence Berkenbosch, whose clean meet and consistent personal bests earned him a well-deserved silver.

Division 2 Girls Sani Supinen and Kayln Gale received bronze and silver aggregates, and Division 3 Alex Jay won a silver for the Boys category.

James LeBuke and Nolan Gale both finished the meet with three firsts and a second, which tied them for the Division 4 Boys gold aggregate; and Jackson Litke

tied for Gold with Ogopogo Matthew MacDonald in the Division 5 Boys. Kate Granstrom picked up a bronze aggregate in the Division 5 Girls after swimming 100 per cent best times over her four events.

Other notable swims came from Hunter Stewardson, who won the Division 3 Girls 50 meter breaststroke, and Devyn Gale, who narrowly missed an aggregate in the Division 3 Girls category after a meet of strong swimming just off her personal bests. Division 5 boys Erik Brosch and Logan Marcolli took off significant time in all their events over the weekend, as did Division 4 girls Sara Supinen and Rebecca Brosch.

The Aquaducks will compete next weekend in Merritt before heading to Golden the following weekend for another heats-and-finals meet in preparation for Regionals in Kamloops in August.

Columbia Shuswap Regional district moves into new building TRACY HUGHES Black Press

They didn’t smash a champagne bottle to christen the boardroom, but directors of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District were bubbly in their praise for the new waterfront headquarters.

Directors were present for the first board meeting in the new waterfront facility, which consolidates the CSRD staff from three separate offices under one 22,950 sq. ft. roof.

“It’s a pretty exciting day,” said board chair Rhona Martin from her position at the centre of the board table. “It’s wonderful to have all the staff under one roof and after taking a tour and speaking to people, everyone is very happy, they like their work spaces, they like that it is bright with

lots of light.”

Other directors echoed the compliments, saying the single building will increase work efficiency, ultimately will reduce costs and is an attractive environment.

The building also has the future expansion potential of adding another 10,400 sq. ft.

“Of course, we are 25-35 years away from anything like that, but it is prudent to know the future expansion potential is there,” says Charles Hamilton, chief administrative officer.

The total cost of the building was fixed in the deal at $7.6 million, although CSRD directed another $200,000 in upgrades, mainly towards making the building more energy efficient.

“LED lights, for example, were an add

on that we felt would have a long-term payback in reducing operational costs and save on maintenance,” added Hamilton.

“It’s a really nice building and will serve us well,” says Rene Talbot, Area D director.

Much of the move took place over the weekend with the CSRD only shutting down to the public for one day before reopening June 15 in the new facility on Harbourfront Drive, east of Marine Park.

The former CSRD building at 781 Marine Park Drive has already been sold to a local investment firm, with a closing date of sale as July 31.

Hamilton says the CSRD wanted a simple, functional and fiscally prudent building, with an emphasis on natural materials.

“The public can be critical of over-builds in government facilities, I think what

we have here is a nice balance of a functional building that has been successful in achieving some nice design elements, primarily through the use of natural wood, windows and the building overhang,” says Hamilton.

Also part of the board’s business at their first meeting in the new boardroom was to name the meeting rooms. The building committee and CSRD staff came up with the idea to name the rooms after bodies of water, including at least one from each area of the CSRD. The rooms will be named: Shuswap, Columbia, Illecillewaet, Reinecker and Gardom.

Martin thanked the staff for ensuring each area had a representative name.

“You know we politicians can be sensitive about these things,” she said with a laugh.

Soccer season winds up in Centennial Park JEFF WILSON

Revelstoke Youth Soccer Association The annual Revelstoke Youth Soccer Association wind-up took place on Saturday, June 20, with 39 local soccer teams of all ages taking to the fields for their final games of the season.

It was also time to hand out medals, eat pizza, and thank all of the coaches, sponsors, and volunteers who made this soccer season one of the best. The day was a perfect combination of cool air, warm sun and happy soccer players. Check out the photos in the gallery below.

In the Thompson-Okanagan Youth League (TOYSL), the U11 Development boys headed to Kelowna, where they finished off the season with their first double victory at a jamboree.

In the morning, they won a strategic and wellplayed match against Kamloops with a gamewinning goal coming late in the game from Brodie Patry. In the afternoon, the boys beat Penticton in a high-scoring game that Revelstoke controlled from start to finish with sharp passes and solid defensive play. This decisive win reinforced the idea that this group of boys has come a long way as a team since they began practicing together back in the dark days of winter.

On that note, Development/Rep soccer registration will happen again this fall. All players who are interested in participating in these programs next season will need to register at mass registration on Wednesday, Sept. 9, at the community centre. Anyone interested in coaching a development or rep soccer team can also fill out an application at this time.

RYSA would like to thank its sponsors, all the volunteers, and the Revelstoke community for another great season of soccer.

With 39 local teams on the field, there was no shortage of soccer action in Centennial Park last weekend. ~ Photos by Eleanor Wilson

GRADUATION 2015

Greg Kenyon: This is a class of excellent individuals GREG KENYON Principal, RSS

I am very happy to be speaking to the graduating class of 2015.

As I puzzled over what to say today, I looked at various quotes for inspiration. I looked at inspirational quotes, funny quotes, successful quotes — I looked everywhere.

Nothing seemed to fit for this group.

And then one jumped out at me, mainly for its humor, but it resonated with a truth about this class. It is a quote from Robert Orben: “A graduation ceremony is an event where a …speaker tells …students dressed in identical caps and gowns that ‘individuality’ is the key to success”.

I saw that word, “individuality”, and I had it. This class is one full of individuals.

Well of course it is. But as I have come to know you over the past few years, I am certain that all of you deeply and intuitively understand this truth. Rarely have I seen a group of young people who are so diverse in their approach to life and in their way doing things.

Honestly, it drove me a little buggy trying to figure you out my first while here.

A student for whom I have the utmost respect pulls out a tooth with a pair of pliers helpfully supplied by his best friend in the middle of the common room while 20 of you cheer?

Honestly, this class was a puzzle. Yet, this is a class that understands their individuality and accepts it as strength. I finally did too. I finally got it.

This is a class that has produced excel-

lence in so many different areas like sports, academics, and, in my opinion, one of the strongest drama/fine arts groups I’ve seen in my career. I will miss all of you when you leave. You have entertained me with your

antics, amused me with your humor (I loved having Batman do our announcements) and yes, drove me crazy a time or two. Most of all, I admire you for your individuality and the bonds with each other that you have

created over the years.

I wish you the best of luck in the future, and know that we at RSS are very proud of each and everyone of you.

Thank you.

GRADUATION 2015

REVELSTOKE REVIEW

MIKE HOOKER

Superintendent, SD 19 I am very happy to have the opportunity to congratulate you today.

While this day is traditionally all about you, and your success, I’d like to reflect for just a minute on some of the factors that contributed to that success.

You have parents, extended families, and friends who care. Those people in your lives who celebrated your achievements, worried about you when you struggled, and quickly forgave if you did something that caused someone to say, “seriously, what were you thinking”.

At school, you were surrounded by staff who did much the same — celebrated your achievements, empathized when you struggled, and encouraged you to do your best, whatever shape that took. These were the people who helped you get that last bit of studying in before a big test, met you in a class, the gym, or a shop after school or early morning so you could work, talk, or just hang out. They helped you prepare for life after school, and helped you clean up the messes that sometimes were made after you said to your buddy, “Hey, watch this…”

Our school district mission statement refers to a ‘dynamic and safe environment’ and to ‘approaching learning today and tomorrow with passion and joy.' On behalf of our staff, your supporters, I hope that you find a perfect balance between the elements of safety and passion, and that your next steps are both dynamic and joyful.

All the best, graduates.

GRADUATION 2015

Jason Stevens: Falling down, and getting back up JASON STEVENS Teacher, RSS

Good afternoon parents, teachers, administration, family, friends and community members and, of course, graduates of 2015.

What an honour it is to be asked to give you a few last words of advice and guidance. I must remember to thank you for that; thank you! Now graduates, if you look to the audience you can see how proud your families are, after 12 years of educational “slogging,” you’ve made it. Your family will never be prouder of you than they are at this moment. Grads, to me it seems that this would be a good time to ask for a lot of money. I mean, think of how hard you’ve worked. There is no way they can say no.

You started out with 84 in your cohort five years ago and now you are down to 72. Clearly there was no guarantee you would make it here, yet here you are. I, along with your parents and teachers, have seen your successes, your failures, your growth, your loss and so many other happenings in your lives-tears and smiles. (Both perhaps when you think about me in that French maid outfit way back in grade 8.)

Deadlines, homework and tests caused the onset of the odd tantrum. Practical jokes (I thought about making a Saran wrap song here, but was afraid it might be a waste of toilet paper — the grads get that) were also important. You had sports trips, Europe trips, math tests, proms, Halloweens, pig dissections, Ono Cho visits — some of you have hosted exchange students and gone on rotary exchanges. You have had drama and art shows, guest speakers like Rob Nash, Bob MacDonald, The White Hatter and others. Your community and school have done a right proper job trying to make life exciting and of value, and through curricular and extra curricular we have done it.

Now, I needed a theme for this particular graduation speech, something to tie it all together and I think I've come up with a doozy — crushing failure and utter disappointment.

Oh wait, sorry! This is not a theme about my future, it is about your future. With that in mind, I think I found a better one. I remembered my Slinky from when I was younger and how Slinkies are a lot like some people we meet everyday — not really good for anything, but fun to push down the stairs nonetheless. With this in mind, I have my theme: Falling Down.

I mean, when you think about it, life has always involved a lot of falling down, literally and figuratively. When you were just a baby first learning to walk, you failed and fell down but you didn’t give up did you — you got up again! (And again and again and again.)

When you first started to speak you made mistakes. You fell down, but you didn’t give up. You got up again. I'm willing to bet the first time you tried cooking, helping mom or dad or grandma in the kitchen, you probably mucked things up. In fact, they wont tell you, but you probably ruined the 50th anniversary party because you destroyed the cake. You fell down, but you know what? You got up.

Speaking of party food, I remember when a man assaulted me with milk, cream and butter. All I could think about was, “how dairy.” (I know a bud pun) Your first day of kindergarten was 12 years ago. You struggled to create friendships with people you didn't know. Undoubtedly you failed in many cases. But you know what, you

Uplifting messages were the order of the day for the 2015 grads. ~ Photo by Taryn Walker got back up and made friends. Of course kindergarten is also where you learned why milk stools only have three legs — the cow has the udder!

And, of course, in high school you had to deal with dating issues, rumours, whispers, burn books, Internet gossip, Snapchat pics. So many times you’ve been pushed down or fallen down and yet here, right now, we see you have all gotten up. You’ve done it, you’ve made it — you’re here.

Of course, I feel kind of bad in some ways — we always told you to follow our dreams… yet we never let you sleep in class.

(Well almost never!)

Of course, some falling down is easier than others. And perhaps the toughest part your parents have had to deal with is both letting you fall down and not helping you; forcing you to do it on your own. The goal, of course, is self-sufficiency. It can be so tough when you know the answer and have to let someone learn the hard way. Remember this though, you have learned to fall and get up on your own, but you have never been nor ever will be alone!

As you leave us now and venture into the world, it is so important to remember that you'll never really know what you're truly capable of unless you challenge yourself to do something you're afraid. As the Beatles said, “Life is very short and there is no time, for fussing and fighting my friend(s).”

Of course we have educated you, but some things wont make sense even with 12 years of education. We taught you how to tune a piano, but how do you tuna fish?

You have fallen down many times here and, as the expression goes, it's okay to fall down five, 15 or 100 times as long as you get up six, 16 or 101 times. Failure doesn't have to be final! In fact, it should be the start of your education, not the end. Planning is key now and remember — you don’t need a parachute to

Keep On Track With Your Education Congratulations 2015 Grads!

sky dive…you only need if you plan to skydive twice.

Of course, not all falling down is helpful — it’s always easy to fall down on your own, but too often in life we push others down. I am always fascinated when people are asked, “What would you change in your life?” And the response is always…

“Nothing! All the good and bad decisions I have lived through has made me who I am today.” I get it, but you know what, if you were to ask me that question I would change things! I would change how I pushed down others. I hurt others and caused them pain there is no way to take that back.

I remember back when I was in grade four. There was this girl in my class (I can’t remember her name but I can see her clear as a bell) and for some reason she was bullied it seemed everyday.

I remember I took part in it as well. I used to push my pencil off my desk on purpose and ask her to pick it up.

Despite all the abuse she took from fellow classmates, she happily helped me out and picked my pencil up when asked.

Perhaps it was because I talked to her, or because she was lonely and liked the idea of being able to help someone.

One day, she realized I was doing this on purpose (I suspect she heard me whisper to two or three other classmates that I could push my pencil off the desk and she would pick it up — just like a dog.) She said no and – I get a bit hazy here – but I believe I threatened her and she picked it up, tears in her eyes.

She did not fall down! She was pushed. One day her mom came in and showed the class an amazing skill she had. She could make really good birch baskets. Everyone was this grade four’s friend that day and I am sure she thought it would all be okay after that; she would not have to be afraid anymore or hurt. Nope! It turned bad for her again and the bullying started it up.

She didn’t stay much longer than that. In fact, I can’t remember how much longer she was there. I do remember her to this day however. In this case she did not fall down — I along with others pushed her down, again and again and again. I hope she got back up but I don’t know.

It's never easy to lift ourselves up when we fall down, but make sure as best you can you don’t push someone down — whether it be their appearance, values, beliefs, ideas, because the thought that I caused harm to someone, that will never leave me, ever.

Fortunately this school has tried to install in you Respect, Safety and Success. It is our motto and it is our belief. Take it with you and use it. Help others when they have fallen and we will help you when you fall. Your family and friends have shown you there is a better way than pushing down. That is the lesson I want you to leave with!

I have a couple of last bits of advice for all of you to keep in mind. Remember, the early bird might get the worm, but it’s the second mouse that gets the cheese, and if anyone of you were on a raft with me and it was sinking and there was only one life jacket, I would miss you heaps and think of you often afterwards, and tell people your wonderful story. Know you will be missed but not forgotten and that you always have a home in this school and this community.

OMNES UNUM SUMAS. We are all one! I want to sincerely thank you – it’s been a blast – and ask you to thank your family and friends. They are on the stage with you as they have been every time you have fallen down and got back up. All the best in your futures Grads of 2015. you!

GRADUATION 2015

Valedictorian: New experiences bring change and understanding JACQUELINE COTTINGHAM Valedictorian

Welcome graduates, parents, teachers, family members, mentors, and others to this very special afternoon. Thank you for coming to support the graduates, who I am honored to be representing with the valedictory address for the class of 2015.

Every new experience in our life brings about change. This starts from the moment we are born, when we take our first breath and our lungs begin to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. When you take the training wheels off your bike and you start riding without them. You feel incredibly proud of yourself and learn the value of hard work. The first time you crash without training wheels you learn that – even though you are a pro now – you will not succeed every time you try something.

In kindergarten, we learn to play fair because other kids might cry if we don’t. As adults we play fair because it makes us good people.

We also learned to say we are sorry when we didn’t play fair or when we hurt someone. We cannot forget how important apologies can be. I know we’re Canadian, and maybe apologize too much, but people need to hear our apologies and we need to give them.

When we were six and we grew bean plants in school, we watered them and gave them sunlight, and we watched them grow. We came to understand that we were helping them, and we learned how it is that organisms grow and live.

The first time we understood the purpose of Remembrance Day, we came to respect those who came before us, and we began to appreciate everything they gave us.

When we hit high school, I know that I’m not the only one who had to realize, that not everyone wants to be friends. Sometimes we have to understand that we are better off without those people. We learned that sometimes we need to forgive others, not for their benefit, but for our own. This way we can move on to greater things, and better experi-

ences.

Throughout high school, when suddenly we had three tests next week, two projects due, and our friends wanted to go do something everyday, we learned how to prioritize.

After our first heartbreak, we learned self-value. We learned how strong we can be independently.

When we experienced loss for the first time we learned how to grieve, and we understood how to move forward though we never forget those we’ve lost.

Throughout all of these experiences, there have been people beside us, supporting us. Thank you to parents who’ve held our hands crossing the streets, as well as on countless other occasions. Thank you to the teachers and support staff who have both put up with us, and helped us learn valuable lessons, both scholastic and other wise.

Thank you to everyone: parents, teachers, mentors, family members, and others for your continuous and unwavering support throughout our lives and academic careers thus far.

We are graduating from RSS, but we are not about to stop having new experiences. We are each heading off down new paths and each of us will continue to grow throughout our lives.

Graduation marks the end of high school, but the beginning of the rest of our lives. We will continue to make mistakes and learn from them, and we will create irreplaceable memories. There are lessons we learned from a young age that have been important to us. One lesson that we cannot forget and that we too often do forget is that fun needs to be a priority, at least some of the time.

The past has prepared this years graduating class very well for the future. The lessons they have learned will help them with everything they choose to do. Good luck to all the graduates with all of your future endeavours.

Thank you and have a great afternoon.

Congratulations to the Class of 2015 Well done!

Wishing you every success in the future.
