But how to stop the speeding train of impatience now? We’re getting more and more used to getting what we want and now. No amount of waiting is considered acceptable because everyone else is getting their stuff so fast so why can’t you?

Artist in Profile
Bruno Long at work.
An excerpt from Bruno's web site explains his appreciation for his father's slide shows and influence in picture-taking: “…while I sometimes thought these nights were boring, I learned from exposure and osmosis what a good picture looked like and have now come to appreciate those nights of my youth. Thanks, Dad!”
“I get the vision in my head and I think, sweet so if they just do this… You tell them and they’re saying: yeah, I understand! and they come down and aren’t even close. It’s not your fault, it’s not their fault; you just have to find people you’re in tune with that way.
"Piggyback"
All photos: Bruno Long Photography
Photographer Bruno Long, a New Brunswick native now living in Revelstoke, knows that even dream jobs can mean forfieting personal quests. A wholehearted backcountry skier and mountain biker, Bruno sometimes has to choose between the camera and the strong urge to join in the activity he’s photographing.
"It’s really hard if (the crew) doesn’t see things the way you see things; if they don’t have that vision. The guys I bike with have been friends of mine for 10 years. They’ve been with me as I've progressed. They share a lot of the same ideas and know what I’m looking for.”
"Starburst"
So what does Bruno do if he Bruno’s experience in the backcountry along with what he has learned as a photographer is a misses a shot after all that careful calculating? complimentary combination of skills. He knows what it feels like to be out there doing the sport “I missed a shot recently when the he’s shooting.

Does he care? shape. “I did an exhibition in Jasper last year at a small café. (The owner) had seen my photos from my web site and wanted to hang them in her café.” After that came the exhibition on display at the Modern Bake Shop and Café here in Revelstoke, (showing Mar. 1 to May 1, 2010). “These two shows have really been the starting point,” admits Bruno, who would like to see his photographs reaching magazine publishers.
“If it works out as far as making money, great. If not, it’s not going to stop me from taking photos. In a year, if it’s not really working, I’m not going to say, oh well, and put my camera away. “I didn’t start (taking pictures) to try and make money. I started it to meet people who were doing cool stuff and I wanted to document it.” There’s something to be said for getting paid or sponsored to take photographs that end up on the cover of magazines, but it’s also nice to perform at your leisure.
Bruno taught himself to be a photographer. The key to success, he says, is to be able to sell yourself and always progress as a photographer. “I look back at some of my photos from a couple years ago and I think, ah, this kinda sucks. To me personally, (my photos) are always getting better.” During the winter, Bruno works a graveyard shift for Revelstoke Mountain Resort, grooming the hill - a seven-day on, seven-day off schedule. In the winter, he’ll bring his camera on board the groomer. He’ll also endure the added weight to his backcountry ski pack. “If someone took my camera away, I’d still be out there, doing this stuff. I just choose to bring all my camera gear with me.” In the summer, Bruno is on trail crew for Parks Canada and doesn’t tend to take as many photos because his pack is already heavy. But this year, he’s decided to spend more time biking and taking photos.
A recent invite to participate in Kootenay Mountain Culture Magazine’s (KMC) Cold Smoke Pow“The last couple of years, I haven’t been very der Fest may be just what he needs. The festival “I don’t have anybody paying me, so I don’t have to say, ‘I’m here for money so we have to dedicated and was neglecting a lot of biking.

You can make lots of money, but it’s a tough job.” "I’ve been hounding the editor (of KMC) and got to know some people in that scene. My friend Pat Williams runs a bike shuttle business called Dirt Tours and uses my photos for doing maps and trail books. He pushed the editor to check my stuff out.” When the four days are up, Bruno will choose his best photos and assemble a slide show to be judged. Top prize is $1,500. The importance of a good crew to take photos of may be overlooked when thinking of what makes a good photograph. As with most creative representation, subject matter is a very important by-product. A flowering Indian Paintbrush can stand there all day until you, the photographer, decide the shadows are just right on its petals. But if you’re an action photographer, you may only have one shot at getting the desired result. Bruno will spend a lot of time setting up a shot of a skier or mountain biker in his or her element. His subjects need to be patient while he explains exactly what he needs from them. And sometimes even then, it doesn’t work out.

Heritage Moments by Alison Lapshinoff
Ask any long time local about Revelstoke’s two former drive-in theatres and they will likely recall, with a nostalgic smile, the best way to sneak in. Armed with warm blankets and cold beer, some would even turn up on foot. Who says you need a car to go to the drive-in?

A vacant lot on the corner of Airport Way and McKinnon Drive is overgrown with trees. Back in the 1960’s, families would head up what was then known as Arrowhead Road to take in shows starring actors like Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe at the Revelstoke Drive-In Theatre. The other, Mountain Shadow Drive-In, was located in Columbia Park near the golf course.

Kamut’s introduction to North America is an interesting story. Legend has it that the ancient grain khorasan was sent to the New World by a U.S. Airman in 1949. Thought to have come from the tombs of Egypt, Earl Dedman sent a handful of the giant kernels home to Montana, where his father had a wheat farm. Closely related to Durum Wheat, and twice as large, the giant wheat variety grew and was displayed at a county fair where it was dubbed ‘King Tut’s Wheat’, for its Egyptian origins. Some decades later, in 1977, one remaining jar of the giant wheat fell into the hands of the Quinn family, also Montana wheat farmers, who recognized the value of this nutritious ancient grain which grows so well without the aid of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. They trademarked the grain with the term ‘Kamut’ a word found in an Egyptian hieroglyphic dictionary thought to mean ‘wheat’.

Spelt is another of wheat’s close cousins. Native to Iran and southeastern Europe, this ancient grain has a 7,000 year history of cultivation and was once a staple food.

Place a cup of this mixture into a casserole dish with four cups of water. Add a cinnamon stick or a vanilla bean. Cover and place in a 200 degree oven before bed. In the morning, a healthy, wholesome hot cereal will be ready. Just add milk or soy milk, toasted nuts and seeds, fresh fruit, maple syrup, yoghurt or just about anything you might add to your usual breakfast cereal. Be creative. This dish can also be made in a slow cooker. Or eat your grains cold: Soak rolled oats along with any flaked grain in milk, soy milk, juice or water. Let sit overnight in the fridge. In the morning, add grated apple, yoghurt, maple syrup and some toasted nuts and seeds for a delicious cold cereal. Leftover brown rice from dinner?

Perhaps the only consolation we have for the ‘winter that never came’ this year is to take advantage of the snow-free streets and get out for an early-season bike ride. That’s what the Bike to Work Week committee is hoping you’ll do as they plan Revelstoke’s 2nd Annual Bike to Work Week, taking place May 31 to June 6. Bike to Work Week (BTWW) is all about- well, biking to work. It’s also about having fun, being healthy and reducing carbon emissions. Last year 50 Revelstoke teams participated with a total of 431 cyclists and an equivalent of 1.41 tons worth of CO2 off-sets. BTWW is organized by a core volunteer committee and with last year’s success under their belt they are hoping to attract additional volunteers this year. According to BTWW coordinator Suzanne Grieve, more committee members are welcome; people who are “interested and committed to the concept of biking to work as a commuting option and willing to support a program that encourages it.”

“Team Leaders are the frontline heart and soul of the program," says Grieve. "Basically, their position is to enlist all the employees in the workplace and motivate as many of those as possible to bike to work for the week. The team leader is encouraged to be as creative as possible in engaging his and her workmates to participate."

Supported by the BTWW Committee, the Team Leaders relay information to their workplace, motivate their colleagues, encourage first-time commuters and keep track of statistics. There are also half-day activities available for volunteers who want to get involved but don’t necessarily want to make a longer commitment. Celebration Stations are booths set-up once or twice during the week where cyclists can grab a snack, chat with fellow commuters and enter to win prizes. The Commuter Challenge is a friendly race between cyclists and car-commuters which will take place near the end of May. “The Celebration Stations and Commuter Challenge would welcome any individuals who would like to spend a day being involved in setting up the stations, liaising with the public and participants, set-up and take down of the station.” says Grieve. Last year’s BTWW received a large amount of support from the community in terms of participation, donations and encouragement. The committee is hoping for an equally supportive atmosphere this year. Revelstokians collectively clocked over 5,000 km in just one week of cycle-commuting during this event last spring. If you would like to help exceed that number this year by getting involved as a volunteer or are interested in sponsoring this event, please contact Bike to Work Week coordinator Suzanne Grieve at sgrieve@cityofrevelstoke.com
WHAT'S YOUR
BIZ'NESS? by Alison Lapshinoff
Bathing suits and shorts will soon make a long awaited re-appearance from the bowels of your wardrobe. Hidden beneath jeans and turtlenecks and wooly socks are clothes of an unforgiving nature, not meant to conceal the indulgences of winter comfort food. Your new year’s resolution to focus on important matters such as exercise and healthy eating has become a vague and distant memory. When recalled, it invokes a dim, unpleasant feeling of failure. The whole matter is likely best swept under the rug and forgotten completely. But wait! Fitness is not just about fat and thin or attaining that perfect beach body. There’s more to it. In 1983 Neil and Theresa Jones opened Revelstoke’s first fitness centre on Mackenzie Avenue. Now, with 27 years of experience in the industry, they are the proud owners of Trans Canada Fitness. Housed in a unique heritage building with high ceilings and plenty of space, this former drill hall is now the perfect gym venue. Neil likens owing a business to having a baby; it must be fed and looked after seven days a week. But despite the life-consuming nature of owning and operating a fitness centre, health and wellness is clearly his passion and he wouldn’t have it any other way. Although there are ups and downs in business, based on season, influx of seasonal workers and the recession, Neil stresses that it takes a community to make a business run. By helping with pain management through rehab, giving youth a welcome place to come and work out or just helping people to feel healthier and more fit, he has filled his niche in the community. “The gym is where you build a concrete foundation for all of your other physical activities,” Neil explains as the morning sun glints off shiny, modern equipment. An experienced exercise therapist with a strong working knowledge of the mechanics of the human body, Neil's skills can offer a range of assistance for any exercise routine. “Weight training makes one less prone to injury and will improve performance in all other sports.” “Or for some,” Theresa adds, “it is simply pain management.” How many of us have gone to a physiotherapist for an injury of some sort and left with a prescription to exercise? Neil can pick up where the physio-

So…you’re fat. Or at least there’s a nagging suspicion that beneath your layers of clothing an alarming bulge may be presenting itself around your middle. For months, it’s been quietly concealed under all those clothes. Meanwhile, as your comfortable winter belly makes headway to your belt buckle and beyond, summer is looming!

therapist leaves off, guiding clients through personalized rehabilitation programs. Personal training is a great way to enhance your workout, learn some new exercises and ensure you are doing them correctly. Many of us want to get fit but feel intimidated by the idea of going to a gym. Whether we are self-conscious about our body image or unsure of how to properly use the machines, many imagine fitness centers to be full of perfectly toned bodies, tanned and glowing with physical perfection. This is a pleasant image, but just isn’t the case. All ages, shapes and sizes can be found at the gym. At Trans Canada Fitness, Neil and Theresa strive to create a comfortable environment where anyone can feel welcome and they are always happy to demonstrate how to properly use the many machines. Variety is also important. Mix it up a bit! Many regulars are married to one favourite machine. Play the field! Try the others! If you are a cardio nut, lift some weights for something different. “Weight training,” Neil says, “builds lean muscle tissue which, over the long term, burns more calories than any other physical activity.” Besides burning calories, lean muscle tissue is sexy! Spring is a time for new beginnings. Maybe it’s also time to dust off that new year's resolution. But perhaps we shouldn’t call it that at all. Fitness is a lifestyle, a means of improving athletic ability, mental health and quality of life. Instead of making that one time declaration ‘this year I am going to lose weight’, perhaps trying to adopt a healthy lifestyle in order to improve all aspects of our existence, physically and mentally, is a better approach. Attaining that coveted beach body might just be a pleasant side effect! Reved Quarterly supports non-profit events and organizations. Contact us for special advertising rates. sales@reved.net

Get Outta Here Travels from afar...
by Rob Stokes
As we descended the trail from Muktinath towards the barren Kali Gandaki valley in Nepal, the view around us was one of the most spectacular in the world. To our left towered 8,000m peaks of the Annapurna Massif, ahead, Dhaulagiri, another 8,000m monster. To our right, the high mountain region of Mustang. The descent was fast. It had taken four hours to walk up and took 30 minutes to bike down. My friend Andy and I were a week into a trip to mountain bike part of the Annapurna Circuit, a popular 300 km trek through some of the best Himalayan scenery in Nepal. Not having time for the whole circuit, we rode the more diverse western section. Here the landscape changes dramatically; from subtropical, jungle covered foothills, up to barren, almost treeless high mountain regions at the very edge of the Tibetan Plateau. Culturally, the trail leads from the predominantly Hindu lowlands to higher Buddhist areas where the people seem more Tibetan than Nepalese. It's a “Teahouse Trek'; there are lodges and restaurants along the entire route. We could travel light - a small backpack with a change of clothes, a waterproof jacket and a sleeping bag was all we needed. Just as well; for the first couple of days we basically had to carry the bikes. From the start at Birenthani, 1,050 metres up in the foothills, until we reached the hill-top village of Ghorepani at 2,775 metres, the trail was more or less unrideable. Trekkers coming in the opposite direction weren't exactly encouraging: “Are you guys crazy? You can't ride this!” being one of the more polite comments. On day two we climbed 3,500 steps up to Ulleri, left the jungle behind and ascended more gently through oak and rhododendron forests. Beyond Ghorepani we could ride a lot more. As the trail gradually descended we had to be careful not to round a bend too fast and crash into a group of porters, or worse, a yak herd. Local kids would mob us, shouting, "bicycle, bicycle!" as we rode the terraced hillsides. In the afternoon we dropped 700 metres into the valley of the Khali Gandaki river, turned north and cycled into Tatopani. Tatopani means hot water. The village is famous for its hot springs. And its chocolate cake. Trekkers spend days resting in the 'Cake Capital of Nepal”, soaking, eating and admiring the spectacular Himalayan views. From Tatopani to Kalopani at 2,560 metres, the trail enters the Khali Gandaki gorge, one of the deepest in the world, with Annapurna and Dhaulagiri on either side. Not that you can see them as the gorge narrows and towers above you. We carried the bikes a lot in this section. Unsurprisingly, atop every steep climb sat a small Nepalese boy selling bottles of ice-cold coke. We were gouged on the price, but sated. After a night in Kalopani, we continued north. The riding became easier as the terrain levelled
out. We sped through conifer forests and along the gravel bed of the Kali Gandaki, stopping for a drink break at Marpha where we tried the local ciders. Above Marpha the landscape became more arid. We arrived at Jomsom and waited for a favourable wind. It blows south, downhill, in the morning. In the afternoon, when the land has warmed, a thermal wind blows north, uphill. These winds can be very strong and kick up a lot of dust. It's advisable to avoid a headwind. Once the wind changed direction we cycled the broad, gravel valley bottom to the very photogenic village of Kagbeni at 2,810 metres. The next morning, as we began climbing up to Muktinath at 3,800 metres, I really noticed the effects of altitude for the first time. Breathing became more difficult. Though the trail was smooth, riding was impossible. We had to stop frequently to catch our breath. When we got to Muktinath we spent the afternoon acclimatising on the roof of our lodge, sharing coffee and a huge plate of apple fritters with some Australian trekkers.

Riding to the Roof of the World
Muktinath is a sacred place for both Hindus and Buddhists, said to be the only place on earth where you can find all the elements from which everything is made; fire, water, sky, earth and air. A small temple surrounds a spring and a constant flame, fuelled by natural gas escaping from the ground. After a quick visit, we made plans for the notoriously difficult climb to the Thorung La Pass, the highest point on the Annapurna Circuit at 5,416 metres. It wasn't too bad. We left at 6 a.m., got to the pass at 11 a.m. and were back in Muktinath by early afternoon. We made no attempt to ride on the way up. The terrain was far too steep, the air too thin. I left my bike at the snow line. Andy carried his all the way, just for the picture opportunity amidst the magnificent scenery. A freezing wind blew over the pass so it wasn't long before we were riding back down, very carefully at first, very rapidly once the trail gradient eased. When we got back to Muktinath, the owner of the lodge was rather impressed.

Idle ones. time is wasted time, as they say. Talking with members of the Revelstoke community, it hasn’t only been the winter blues that hit us this season. It’s been the lack of funds and available jobs. Many major employers in our small town were forced to lay off employees due to lack of business and the pounding blow from the recession. While some staff have been called back to work there is still a decent portion of our local population that is struggling to get by.
Most people on EI qualify for skills development training and many programs are offered through Okanagan College to build marketable skills for a competitive job market. The 2009/Labour Market Development Agreement Annual Plan for British Columbia states “In order to meet demands in forecasted job openings between now and 2011, British Columbia needs to develop and maintain a particular level of education among citizens. Most job openings in B.C. over the next five years will require some form of postsecondary education.”
There are developments in construction and the growth of Revelstoke Mountain Resort but for those who aren’t trained or can’t support a family on the While the thought of a classroom for some is enough wage of a liftee it’s hard to know where to turn. to bring back bad memories of droning instructors and pop quizzes, there are other options such as Cathie Thacker, program coordinator for Revelopen or online learning, self employment and work stoke Employment Services Centre, says of the experience training. As Linda Merko, who has lived in 230 clients who are currently with them, 85 are on Revelstoke for quite some time says the latter is what Employment Insurance (EI) while the others are she believes employers want the most. unemployed or underemployed. Merko made the decision to look for a new form of “It’s all because of the economic downturn,” she employment due to the unsuitable conditions of her says adding employers are still catching up from previous profession. previous losses. “I’ve taken office courses but it definitely pays to have “They [employers] don’t need the amount of staff more experience.” Merko says there’s a shortage of they’ve had in previous years. If they post jobs jobs in the field she’s looking for and the competition they’ll post for a few days and then call and say, is high. She’s realistic about the challenges many ‘take it down,we’ve got enough applicants’.” face in the local work search. It’s not that the population of Revelstoke has increased - we’re still at about 8,419 people. And, according to Thacker, seasonal foreign visitors aren’t taking much full-time employment in town. There’s just not enough supply and more than usual demand. “There are more applicants than openings where before there were more openings than applicants,” Thacker says, adding in previous years the job boards at the Employment Centre used to be stacked full. A recent visit showed one board only half-full. The Employment Centre has seen an average of 100 people a day looking for jobs compared to an average of 55 in 2007. Kyle, who didn’t wish to reveal his last name, has come to Revelstoke from Nova Scotia to snowboard for the winter. He’s been living in Revelstoke on and off for a couple of years and was searching the boards for trades employment. “There’s nothing there,” he says. Word of mouth and networking hasn’t helped either. So, what do we do about it?
why should i attend the implicit career search workshop? Previous participants have their say: "Why didn't I do this years ago?" "Not only do I come away with a good sense of career direction, I come away with a very positive, renewed frame of mind." "They should do this in schools!" "The best thing I've ever done for myself." "You won't regret one second of it."
“Some days it’s harder than others but you have to get yourself out there,” she says. Research of the company and position are key too, says Thacker. “Part of the interview, the cover letter, the resume and being prepared for your interview is the research,” she explains. “Even if you’re applying as a cashier somewhere you want to do your research because you never know what kind of questions you’re going to get asked from the employer.”

From
What is the most frugal thing you've done during the recession to save money? Erin Russell (with daughter Taylor and baby James): "Probably take less trips out of town so we're using less gas."
Peter and Donna Clayton: "Walked, didn't eat out. Baked my own bread!"
Emily Allan and Jony Schneider (with baby Caleb): "Switching smokes from $14 a pack to $7."
Olivier Dutil: "Nothing. I didn't change anything; I worked more than ever."
Sab Werner and Hayley Johnson: "Re-used tea bags."
While most believe we are far from the end of recession, it seems it can only get better from here. As more business moves into Revelstoke, and as the town expands as a resort and vacation destination, new opportunities are sure to arise. According to a Canadian Occupational Projection System report for B.C. from the Ministry of Advanced Education and Labour Market Development, approximately 876,400 job openings are expected to be created in the B.C. labour market between 2007 and 2017. Also, with an aging population there will be openings as the baby boomers move on to retirement. So while things may look bleak at the moment, keeping an eye on the future is the key to survival. Personal progression will likely prove invaluable as competition for good jobs continues in Revelstoke and if nothing else, gives you something to do. Good luck job hunters!

Steve Knight: "I would have to say less driving more walking."

If Laidlaw and Haney harbour stress from their day jobs at BC Hydro, their upbeat performances give no indication of it.

Band, The Rev by Karen McColl
The perfect day for Brandon Haney and Al Laidlaw of The Rev involves playing music on a sunny patio where the crowd is lively and the beers are cold and plentiful. That sounds good to us too! Don’t worry- if you have not yet seen this local band perform their popular acoustic cover songs, you will soon. Not ones to miss a beat, Haney and Laidlaw have wasted no time in making their mark in Revelstoke over the past three years. They certainly get around, frequently playing their catchy tunes, which they describe as being largely alternative and classic rock, at local restaurants, special events, festivities organized by the Chamber of Commerce, and fun gigs at Revelstoke Mountain Resort.
Having performed almost exclusively in Revelstoke, The Rev is grateful for the support they have received from groups such as the Revelstoke Arts Council and the City of Revelstoke and they still love playing for the hometown crowd. “Playing at Grizzly Plaza really stands out in my mind. There are many times when I’ve thought that was the best (show),” says Haney. “It’s a testament to this town.” With their popularity on the rise, The Rev is grateful to have supportive families. According to Laidlaw, his two sons, Jacob, 9 and Gabriel, 11, enjoy watching him perform. “They have fun,” says Laidlaw.
Perhaps the key to their success comes from the synergies of their complimentary personalities and skill sets. Laidlaw Haney, originally from Kamloops, married his high is the gregarious self-proclaimed “PR-guy” and while Haney school sweetheart, Melissa Gilbert in 2008 and proudly reports that their eight-month daughter, Evangeline, is quieter, his talent is not to be underestimated. is already “bobbing along to the music.” “Brandon is so solid musically,” says Laidlaw. “I get in touch The Rev has a lively and familiar repertoire of close and find the gigs.” to 70 songs and they take pride in their ability to play at a variety of different venues.
