City proposes eliminating offleash dog area near Centennial Park

A sunny Sunday Easter egg hunt

It was a beautiful, bluebird closing day at Revelstoke Mountain Resort on Sunday. Amongst several closing weekend events was the Sunday Easter Egg hunt enjoyed by participants (l-r) Maia Journeau, Thea Peasgood, Zakiya Journeau, Erika Peasgood, Alena Hamilton and Tasia Hamilton.

The City of Revelstoke is proposing to eliminate the off-leash dog walking area that runs from Centennial Park and extends through the Downie Marsh all the way to the new Illecillewaet River footbridge. The proposed change is the biggest reduction proposed in an overhaul of the designated off-leash areas in the city. The plan also proposes minor tweaking of boundaries to some existing offleash areas and significantly expanded new areas in the Big Eddy and on the south shore of the Illecillewaet River. City planning director John Guenther is scheduled to present a report on the proposed changes to city council at their April 10 meeting. “We’ll be doing public outreach on this. This isn’t settled,” Guenther told the Times Review. “We’re laying [it] out right now for people to look at and we’re proposing more restrictions on off-leash areas,” he said. Guenther’s report says the city has received complaints over the existing Off-leash, page 5

Revelstoke Grizzlies Society working to keep team here

The Revelstoke Grizzlies Society is making a push to keep the team in Revelstoke, following an

emotional annual general meeting at the Revelstoke Forum last Tuesday, Apr. 3. The society, which was meeting for the first time since the team’s sale to 100 Mile House, voted in

a new executive and formed two committees to solicit community and corporate support for the team. By the end of the week, a Facebook page, Save the Revelstoke

Grizzlies, was launched and a petition was started online. The society owned the team until it was sold to Ronald Kolman, Joe Dauenhauer and Michael Jodoin for $15,000 in 2006. The current owners took over the team before the 2009-10 season. When the society sold the team, a clause was put into the contract giving the society the right to buy back the team for $1 if the new owners planned on moving or folding the team before May 31, 2016. On Apr. 2, the Times Review learned the ownership group Grizzly Sports Entertainment (GSE), which is led by Michael Roberts and also includes Lou Hendrickson and Joe Kozek, filed an application with the KIJHL on Sunday to sell the team to a group in 100 Mile House. *** Roberts cited declining atten-

dance and corporate support, as well as mounting financial losses as the reasons for the sale. “The corporate sponsorship has gone down dramatically over the last three years,” he said last Tuesday before the AGM. “The attendance has dropped over the last three years to the point where it’s just not financially viable to keep operating. The expenses to run the team are rising and we just don’t have the full support.” He said attendance had been declining since he purchased the team three years ago. “We’ve done everything we can,” he said. “We kept the ticket prices the same for three years. We put out a product that was strong and to recruit that product takes money, you have to sell kids on the community.” see KIJHL page 3

Judy Goodman hired to lead Chamber of Commerce ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Judy Goodman and her husband moved to Revelstoke last October. In that time she’s fallen in love with city and last week it was announced she’s landed one of the most high-profile jobs in town – that of Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce. “I think it’s an amazing city,” she said. “I think there’s lots of opportunities, and I’m sure lots of challenges too. The people that we’ve met are fantastic, the setting can’t get any better. The nature, music scene – I just really, really love the city so I think it will be a fairly easy job to be an advocate for business in the city.” Goodman, 47, was officially announced as the chamber’s new Executive Director last Wednesday, Apr. 4, filling a void in the organization that has been vacant for almost three months since Adelheid Bender stepped down as interim Executive Director in January. She replaced John Devitt, who was let go by the Chamber last August. Goodman grew up in the small

town of Sundre, in Alberta’s Kananaskis Country. She received a marketing diploma from Mount Royal University in Calgary. From there, she entered the world of travel and tourism, working at travel agencies in Toronto and Calgary before moving to WestJet, where she helped the airline establish its eastern Canadian footprint and start up its corporate sales division. “It was a very interesting sell because when WestJet came into Hamilton, the first eastern destination, many hadn’t even heard of WestJet,” she said. She developed contacts in the industry, working with business associations, and brought Westjet into a global distribution system. “That brought WestJet to the forefront of the industry,” she said. Goodman and her husband Jamie McMahon started coming to the Revelstoke area 15 years ago when they bought a property in Beaton. Four years ago they started building and spending summers there. Last year they decided to see what it was like spending a winter

here, so they came to Revelstoke. “We moved here in October and we love it,” she said. “We just bought a house and take possession next week.” Goodman starts her new job on Monday, Apr. 16, and she said she’ll start by figuring out how to support the needs of chamber staff and members. She said she has attended one chamber meeting so far and chatted with several people there. “The ones I chatted with were all very positive with their business and what was happening,” she said. She cited her management experience and her experience working with her local community association in Calgary as parts of her resume that will help her in her new position. Goodman avoided answering specific questions about Chamber business such as the business tax lobbying and new visitor centre. “I see myself as a facilitator to listen to what people want and help advocate for them,” she said. “I can’t comment much more than that because I haven’t seen their

strategic plan and their formal documentation.” She had many positive things to say about Revelstoke, bringing up the heritage workshop she attended last weekend as an example.

“The people there were so passionate about Revelstoke,” she said. “One of things that came up, a plus about Revelstoke, is the colourful people.”

KIJHL sees Revelstoke as ‘flagship organization,’ Grizzlies GM says from page 1 He added that no local interests had come forward to buy the team. On Tuesday, GSE presented the society with a $25,000 cheque from a security bond that was to be released should the team be moved or folded. Representatives from the society met with the organization’s letter to discuss the contract on Thursday. *** The society has until May. 3, 2012, to exercise its option to buy the Grizzlies and at its AGM it elected Revelstoke Times Review publisher Mavis Cann as president to lead the efforts at saving the team. Cann established two sub-committees - one to solicit fan support and the other to solicit corporate support.

The goal is to see if there’s enough interest in the community for the society to be able to afford to keep the team here and assume the team’s debt, which was speculated to be in the $60,000 range, though none of the owners were in attendance to confirm that number. Graham Inglis, the director of finance for the City of Revelstoke, said the city was owed almost $23,000 by the team as of Mar. 28, 2012. Roberts told the Times Review he needed to sell the team to pay of the team’s debts. The team’s move still needs to be approved by the KIJHL’s board of governors. Grizzlies’ coach and general manager Randy Quakenbush said the league’s managers were holding a conference call on Apr. 11 to discuss the matter. The league’s

board is expected to vote on the move on May. 6. Quakenbush, who has a long history of involvement with junior hockey in B.C., said that based on his conversations with other people involved in the KIJHL, there was a desire to keep the team in Revelstoke. “They see Revelstoke as a flagship organization,” he said. Quakenbush added that he knew of people interested in buying the team and keeping it in Revelstoke but those offers were rebuffed. Kozek, who described himself as a silent partner in the current ownership mix, said he would like to see the team stay in Revelstoke. “Wherever someone would like me to be involved, I’m certainly interested in talking,” he said. “I don’t want to see the team go or I wouldn’t

have bought it to keep it here.” According to Kozek, Roberts owned 50 per cent of the team while he and Hendrickson owned 25 per cent each. Kozek credited Roberts with the effort he put into running the day-to-day operations of the team. “Its hard to go to the corporate community all the time when they’re fighting their own battles,” he said. “I would like to see a team in Revelstoke but the finances have to work.” *** The society’s AGM, which was attended by 27 people, began with a tearful resignation by President Tammy Kaler, though she chose to remain on the board and help with efforts to save the team. The meeting was acrimoniuos at times, with Roberts accused of being underhanded with the way he handled

the sale. Others, notably Cheryl Fry, supported the time and effort Roberts put into managing the Grizzlies. She said he shouldn’t be villainized in the matter but Kaler refuted her. “Mike Roberts has several options,” said Kaler. “His choice was to reach in and grab the team out from under us.” The society voted to meet again on Monday, Apr. 10, after press time. *** Disclosure: As noted in the story, Mavis Cann is the publisher of the Revelstoke Times Review.

The average age of a Canadian woman giving birth to her first child has gone up significantly over the generations. In 2008, this average age was 29.3. This age in the U.S. is 24.9. It may be simplistic to relate a woman’s skin condition with her bone health, but that’s exactly what researchers found. Women with more face and neck wrinkles seem

to have lower bone density in the hip, heel and lower back areas. It’s another reason to take care of our skin during the sunny days of summer coming soon. Now that spring is here, it is a good time to check the medicine cabinet for old, outdated medications. Also ensure the medication storage area is totally out of reach of curious children.

Medications like opioids (codeine, morphine), benzodiazepines (diazepam, oxazepam), blood pressure and heart medications can be harmful to children. Ensure drug safety in your home. Canadians are living longer than ever before. Early diagnosis and treatment of diseases is part of the reason for this. And the older we get, the more medications

we seem to take. It’s important to take your medication as your doctor directs. If you need help organizing your medications, our pharmacists can help. Our pharmacists dispense more than just medication. We dispense information. Use our pharmacists to further your education about the medications you are taking.

REVELSTOKE AIRPORT ACCESS In the coming weeks signs will be posted and fencing installed to prohibit unauthorized access for persons to walk through the riparian area adjacent to the runway at the Revelstoke Airport. There are concerns of persons and/or their pets accessing the runway and a possible conﬂict with aircraft taking off or landing at the airport. Also, restricting persons from this sensitive riparian area will be beneﬁcial to the environment. The Revelstoke Airport Committee (Committee) looked at the option to install a chain link fence parallel to the runway to provide a physical barrier to persons and animals from the runway and aircraft activity. The cost of a fence is over $100,000, and in light of a long list of costly upgrades and improvements that are needed at the airport, the Committee did not support this option. The Committee thanks the public for its cooperation. For more information, please contact: Mr. Gary Holte Manager, Environment and Engineering Services Phone: 250 833 5935 gholte@csrd.bc.ca

A new, permanent speed sign has gone up at the Arrow Height Elementary school zone on Nichol Road. The sign, which was installed last week, gives you a speed reading as you pass through the school zone. It replaces the temporary one that was stolen last year. It is the latest in a series of efforts by the school’s parent advisory committee to get drivers to slow down through the school zone. In the fall, the city installed rumble strips in the road and alongside the shoulder. Tracey Vopni, the chair of the PAC said the rumble strips have helped but that the PAC is still hoping for sidewalks in the future. “Any measure that helps with slowing traffic has been helpful,” she said. “We’ve turned to alternate measures because we have spent countless hours trying to get safe measures put in.” She said she has already noticed people slowing down because of the speed sign. The sign was purchased with support from the Revelstoke Credit Union. “Any time we can contribute to the kids in our community, we’re more than happy,” said Roberta Bobicki, the CEO of the RCU.

Proposal: expand off-leash areas in Big Eddy, south shore of Illecillewaet from page 1 area that includes the wetlands in Downie Marsh. He anticipates “an interesting dialogue” and noted lots of “hot buttons.” The maps outlined in the April 10 agenda package outline changes to all seven off-leash areas: Westside Road - The existing strip along Westside Road across the Columbia River from the Revelstoke Golf Course is shifted down to the shore along the river. Highway 23/Trans-Canada Junction - This smaller area just north of the junction is expanded and shifted away from the road and would now extend to the shore of the Columbia River. Big Eddy Dike - The existing long strip is just to the north of the dike pathway. It will be greatly expanded to include the area all the way to the Columbia River. Centennial Park to Illecillewaet Bridge - The entire area from the Revelstoke Workers Memorial to the Illecillewaet footbridge is eliminated. However, the area from the footbridge to the Airport Way bridge over the Illecillewaet River remains. The paved

pathway is not currently “off-leash” and no changes are proposed. Illecillewaet River south shore Currently, a thin strip on the south bank of the river is off-leash. This will be greatly expanded southward towards the foreshore of the Cashato Bench. The maps included in the presentation don’t show exactly where the proposed southernmost boundary is. Powerhouse Road - An existing area at the end of Powerhouse Road is shifted slightly, but remains largely the same. Although it’s not presented in the staff report, Guenther said that a new fenced dog area at Centennial Park would be part of the discussion. A fenced dog park is one of about a dozen proposed new recreation facilities outlined in the recently-approved City of Revelstoke parks and recreation plan. Guenther said there was a small parcel between a baseball diamond and the Downie Timber lot that was being considered. “There’s a little spot in there where we could put in an enclosed dog park,” Guenther said. *** On Monday morning a group of

Housing society ponders affordable development AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

In March, the CBT announced a new affordable rental housing

fund. A new combined federal and provincial investment of $5 million would be combined with $5 million from the trust. Revelstoke Community Hous-

ing Society chairperson Mark McKee said the society would be interested in details as they emerge. Currently, the society is pondering a six-unit housing project for

so dogs could be allowed during winter months. In general, they were more or less not supportive of the change, They also noted lack of clear signage or enforcement on the paved waterfront walkway. Although there is a sign, it demands dog owners pick up after their dogs, but doesn’t say dogs

must be on a leash. A cartoonish dog graphic does include a leash, but it’s sort of obscured by the dog’s inexplicably windblown ears. The graphic certainly leaves wiggle room for anyone seeking to ignore the off-leash ban on the walkway. They agreed nobody liked it when owners didn’t pick up after their dogs.

the Bridge Creek Properties. The idea is to build modular homes based on a popular program from easter Canada, then sell them. “Every project that we look at has to be self-sufficient,” McKee said. He noted a softer housing market

than in years past, saying the need wasn’t as critical now, but the society wanted to be able to react to changes in the market. The proposal, when ready, will proceed to city council for consideration.

o, what was that? Mother Nature – you trapped us in March nearly all winter long – slush, freeze, snow, dig; slush, freeze, snow, dig … Yikes! Could you deal us out a brilliant spring, please? Trout Lake snowfall 2012 The 2011/12 winter was an unusual one weather-wise, but, by the end of March it did manage to deliver a “twenty-four foot, one inch” snowfall at Trout Lake. Thanks, again, to the Trout Lake General Store for their seasonal record keeping. Community dock Thanks go out to all the volunteers who cleared the community dock this winter. Local residents pressed their shovels into service taking on the task throughout the season. Exercise classes The Trout Lake Community Club exercise classes were well attended three winter mornings a week from November through

March. We enjoyed Aerobics, Pilates, Tai Chi/Chi Gong, Step, Dancercise, Yoga and even a little Zumba. Thank you to all who participated in and supported the program! Cribbage tournaments Club Director, Mike Rankin, organized a pair of crib nites during the winter months. Seasoned and amateur players joined in the fun that resulted in surprising upsets in the winner and loser circles. During the first goround, Fred Steiner faced unusually, tough competition as reigning champ ending up in the basement. Meanwhile, Ken Christiansen and his brother, Kim, edged out their opponents securing first and second place, respectively. Hall insulation The Trout Lake Community Club has obtained a grant from the CSRD to install additional insulation at the Community Hall. A section of the walls and the skirting around the building perimeter will be done in the coming weeks by an insulation contractor from Castlegar. Adding more insulation will help with winter heating costs and cooling of the building in the summer. Our thanks to CSRD Area B Representative, Loni Parker, for her interest in this Trout Lake project. TLCC May meeting The Trout Lake Community Club Directors have begun prepping for the May Extraordinary meeting. A number of topics are slated to be discussed, including nominations for the 2012-2013 Club Director positions. Meeting and agenda details will be

made available as the date approaches. TLBCIS The Trout Lake BC Internet Society (TLBCIS) has been successfully up and running since Jan. 9, 2012. To date, over twenty customers have subscribed to the Internet service with many others ready to sign-up as they arrive for annual mountain vacations. President John Wall has been busy configuring, delivering and installing equipment at customer locations. With the snow starting to recede, John is ready to get equipment in place for Internet coverage into Galena Bay and the surrounding area. Also, a crew is being organized to begin construction of the Beaton repeater site and setting up the Internet service there. The TLBCIS wishes to thank Paula Burns for her service as TLBCIS Director and Treasurer. Paula opted to step down in December 2011. John is pleased to welcome Krys Barnwell, who recently signed on as the TLBCIS Accountant. Krys has a strong background in accounting and bookkeeping and is a valuable addition to the team. We invite you to browse the TLBCIS website (www.troutlakebc.net). It is still under construction but contact and subscription information is available at the site. *** Linda Wall contributes the quarterly Trout Lake Tracker column to update readers on the life and times of the small, isolated community south of Revelstoke.

The airport fence means more wildlife on the runway Editor, Re: Fencing to be installed to block access to Revelstoke airport area wetlands, revelstoketimesreview.com, News, Mar. 28 Comment: A few years ago a fence was constructed blocking off this area. After the Regional District realized what a mistake this fence was it was removed. Many residents of the airport bench use this area for recreation. It is below the

L E T T ER S high water mark and thus not city or district property. Wild game uses this area all the time and if you block the access the game will be wandering around the runway searching for another way out. The only way you could securely block wildlife from the runway without fencing the airport itself would be to build about 20

km of fence block the entire east side of the valley from the north end of the runway to the rivers main channel, and from the south end of the runway to the rivers main channel. The plan the airport now has will only hurt area residents and game and will do nothing to make the runway safer. Stephen Busch, Revelstoke

Great Bear Rainforest subject of local film festival ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

A film festival this Sunday will shed light on the threats facing the Great Bear Rainforest on British Columbia’s coast. Organized by Megan Jamison, the festival will show four films about the forest, spOIL, Stand Up 4 Great Bear, Oil in Eden, and Cetaceans of the Great Bear Rainforest. Jamison works as a guide at a Knight Inlet Lodge in the rainforest and she wanted to share her experiences with more people and make people aware of the environmental threats to the area. The rainforest, which is located on B.C.’s coast from Vancouver Island to Alaska, is considered one of the largest unspoiled areas of tem-

porate rainforest in the world. It is home to a number of animals, most notably the Kermode “Spirit” bear, a sub-species of the black bear in which some cubs have a white coat. The area has been in the news as a result of the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline, which would transport oil through the area and bring crude oil tanker traffic to the coast. “I think it’s important to realize about these amazing places that are in our province,” said Jamison. “Realize what’s at risk and what’s at stake and not taking what’s for granted because as Canadians we tend to do that a lot.” spOIL is a film by the International League of Conservation Photographers made in conjunction with First Nations groups and sever-

al environment organizations. It is a visual documentation of the region’s landscapes, wildlife and culture. Stand Up 4 Great Bear is a documentary about Norm Hann’s 400 kilometre stand-up paddleboard expedition along the Pacific Coast from Kitimat to Bella Bella. Oil in Eden is a 16 minute documentary about the issues at stake in the fight over the proposed pipeline. Cetaceans of the Great Bear Rainforest is an animated short about the whales of the Great Bear Rainforest. The Stand Up For Great Bear film festival takes place on Sunday, Apr. 15, at 7 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for youth and seniors. All proceeds will go to Pacific A group of paddlers spot a bear in the Great Bear Rainforest. Megan Jamison photo Wild.

Bike lanes plan coming soon The City of Revelstoke planning department is working on bike lanes, trails and a new Integrated Community Sustainability Plan. Here’s the Coles Notes on several of their more tangible, ongoing projects

Great sound never looked better Meet today’s hearing aid. Stylish in your hand, virtually invisible behind your ear - Experience improved hearing in most situations, especially restaurants.

d e fi n i tion of insanity, as the Einstein quote goes, is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Call me craBY AARON ORLANDO zy, but I walked into City of Revelstoke planning director John Guenther’s office last week, like I have several times over the years, expecting to get a few specific questions answered and get a few things cleared up. That didn’t really happen. Here’s why: I’m usually looking for concrete, tangible things – things that everyday people like you and me can relate to – as they pertain to city planning. John, on the other hand, is mentally juggling the land use plan that sets the framework for zoning changes, which must be integrated with OCP revisions, which mesh with the integrated community sustainability plan, et cetera. For me, it’s sometimes an impenetrable fog – and I spend a lot of time in city meetings studying these things. I wonder how much of the planning process trickles down to those who don’t. So, here’s my attempt to ferret out a few tangibles and news from planning department for you:

- Improved sound quality for understanding conversations better. - Added clarity for talking on the phone. - Three-Year Warranty and Service. Phone today to book your one-on-one hearing evaluation.

BIKE LANES FROM RMR TO MT. MACPHERSON We’ve reported the city got funding for this planned bike route that will link the resort with the popular mountain biking trails, creating a bike route through town along the way. The plan is to have it completed this summer, and consultations seeking input are planned for early June. Guenther said the route will consist of bike lanes separated with a painted line, as well as “sharrows,” which are basically images of bikes painted on the road along the route. “The proposal is to not take any parking away,” Guenther tells me. What isn’t firmed up is exactly where the route will go through the city. Maybe Third Street, maybe Fourth Street, or both, or a combination. Also requiring input is how to handle dangerous locations, such as the accident-waiting-to-happen intersection at Fourth and Victoria. Look for TBA meetings in June.

SOUTH OF THE ILLECILLEWAET/ TRAILS PLANNING This is actually what I went to John’s office to talk about. What about a management plan for this area accessible via the new footbridge? “Laissez-faire” he tells me. “The trail connectivity question is a great metaphor for tying the community together. It’s the toughest thing to do in the community.” Guenther explains. “As you start formalizing those things they take a long time.” Last summer, the city had an intern working on mapping the existing informal trail networks and accesses to recreational space. Part of the job was figuring out who owned the land. That work is still ongoing. “The goal we had to begin with was to do the path of least resistance first,” explains Guenther. The plan is to work on the easy ones, the main routes and then work outward to the radial trails. This means for the whole city and surrounding areas, including the flats south of the Illecillewaet, which, by the way, are a patchwork of private land, city land and BC Hydro land.

With little fanfare and almost no final comment, the City of Revelstoke adopted the plan in March.

LAND USE BYLAW This bylaw sets the groundwork for many future land use changes. After consultations and many meetings over the past year, the official hearing was held last week. About 10 people showed up. A few liked it, a few suggested tweaks. Some didn’t like changes they felt would break up the single-family home nature of Arrow Heights. The bylaw will now head back to council for final approval.

INTEGRATED COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY PLAN The city has just issued a request for proposals for a new Integrated Community Sustainability Plan. The triple-bottom-line 20-year plan is designed to align the city with environmental, social and economic objectives. The first step is gathering information and data on these three sectors. The successful contractor will then consult with stakeholders, then tweak planning documents and bylaws to make Revelstoke a more sustainable place. A final report and implementation plan will break the 20-year plan into five-year strategic plans, including specific goals.

In June, UBC planning students will be in Revelstoke to present and collaborate on results from an ongoing partnership study with the city. Amongst other activities, they’ll have giant multi-touch table screens that will enable you navigate through Google Earth-like 3-D images of a future Revelstoke, as envisioned by the UBC team. The idea is to provide feedback on future neighbourhood scenarios for Revelstoke. The city is encouraging you to participate in the process. Be in touch with them for more info.

Alcohol poisoning cause of tree planter death near Revelstoke AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

A BC Coroners Service report into the death of a tree planter at a campground near Revelstoke in June of 2010 has found the cause of death to be accidental alcohol poisoning. Santokh Singh Kooner, 46, was found unresponsive by co-workers in the early morning hours of June 24, 2010 after a night of drinking with co-workers around a campfire at the Canada West RV Park. At the time, Kooner was employed by Khaira Enterprises, a reforestation company that remains embroiled in controversy and legal struggles after employees at a forestry camp near Golden, B.C.

were discovered living and working in deplorable conditions in the summer of 2010. The report by local coroner

Tim Loader says that a toxicology report revealed Kooner had a blood alcohol level of 0.46 per cent, “which is sufficient to cause

death,” Loader writes. The report notes Kooner was drinking around the campfire the night before, and co-workers later noted he at one point drank about three quarters of a mickey bottle (375 ml) of rum “within about one minute,” Loader writes in his report. An ambulance from Revelstoke was dispatched to the scene just before 6 a.m. the next morning. When paramedics arrived, they found Kooner unresponsive, laying inside an industrial ambulance associated with the tree-planting operation. A co-worker was performing CPR. The incident was not initially reported to the RCMP. An emer-

gency room physician at Queen Victoria Hospital pronounced Kooner deceased and called to inform coroner Loader, who then informed the RCMP. Police attended the campsite to investigate and interview those present. “There was no evidence of foul play,” writes Loader. “I find that Santokh Singh Kooner died in Revelstoke on June 24, 2010 of acute ethanol poisoning. I classify this death as accidental and make no recommendations,” Loader writes in conclusion. Kooner’s family members had called for an investigation into the incident.

Vintage ride brings out snowmobiling history ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

On a good snowmobile these days it less than 30 minutes to get to the cabin on Boulder Mountain. When Dusty Veideman first ventured up there with his brother Arnie and friend Bill Rogers more than 40 years ago the trip was a bit more arduous. “It was bushwhacking all the way through,” he said. “It would take us three days in powder.” Veideman told me that story at the start of the Revelstoke Snowmobile Club’s first annual Vintage Ride. There was about a dozen old snowmobiles, mostly from the ‘70s lined up, ready to make the trip up the trail to the Boulder Mountain

Cabin Saturday morning. As we spoke, many more people set out on their modern rides. The old machines looked tiny in comparison – half the size and a fraction the horsepower. “The technology has advanced so rapidly and so far,” Herb Shaede, another longtime local snowmobiler told me. “These are true antiques. Now you just get on and ride. You don’t have to do anything anymore.” Veideman didn’t have his old snowmobiles out – he said they were no longer in working condition. Shaede brought out his Skiroule SX 400 from the early ‘70s and his son Mark’s 1979 Skidoo Elan SS. “That was one of the hot rod machines in its day,” Shae-

de said, referring to Mark’s old snowmobile. According to Veideman, several snowmobile design features may have been derived in Revelstoke. According to legend, Revelstokians were possibly the first to put paddles on their tracks to help push through the snow. He added that locals were the first to use plastic skis – the snow had a habit of sticking to the old metal skis. He said Ski-doo came here one year and saw both those improvements and ended up using them on their snowmobiles. Shaede was living in Mica when he bought his snowmobile in Revelstoke. He once rode it from Mica to Valemount, along logging roads, he

said. The last time he rode it was three years ago, but he said it should get to the Boulder Mountain Cabin without problem. That’s a far cry from days before there were logging roads and groomed trails up the mountain. Back then, Veideman said, they would each take turns busting through the snow. They would gun their engine and drive it as far forward as possible. They would take turns doing that until they got through – hence why it could take as long as three days to get to the emergency cabin. “It was fun in those days,” said Veideman. “The ride was terrible but it was still good once you get up there.”

Court notes

NE WS

“I don’t want to go to jail, for my kid’s sake,” Coleman said. Judge Mark Takahashi described the Crown’s case as “really thin,” adding Coleman might be confessing to something he didn’t do. “I might saddle you with a criminal conviction when you shouldn’t be,” Takahashi said. He then rejected the guilty plea and sent the case to the court manager to fix a trial date.

from page 2 really bad place” back then. He told the court he had since had a son, cleaned up his act and wanted to deal with the charge. He said he didn’t recall stealing anything but he was “under the influence” at the time.

“I appreciate you coming here and owning up to this but from what you tell me, there’s not enough evidence.”

MAN PLEADS GUILTY FOR HITTING DOG A Revelstoke man plead guilty to animal abuse in Revelstoke Court last Wednesday.

Robert Clarence Tippe, 41, pleaded guilty to causing an animal to be in distress following a Jan. 7, 2011, incident. On that day, a cable worker visited the Tippe residence, Crown prosecutor Bill Hilderman told the court. While there, he saw Tippe punch the dog, a golden retriever mix name Molly, in the head. Tippe’s laywer, Chris Johnston, told the court that Molly had been

abused as a puppy when Tippe acquired her. The dog was maladjusted and aggressive towards people. “He over-reacted and hit the dog,” Johnston said. “Mr. Tippe is extremely distressed by his actions and the result of this and he truly regrets it.” Judge Mark Takahashi handed Tippe a six month suspended sentence and a $500 fine.
