Rescuers make last-minute save after boaters capsize in frigid Columbia Revelstoke RCMP are commending Revelstoke residents Brett Renaud and Colin Titsworth after they saved a pair of capsized canoeists who were clinging to a log and near death in the Columbia at Blanket Creek AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke residents Colin Titsworth and Brett Renaud are being credited with saving two lives on June 15 after rescuing two capsized canoeists who were slipping into shock and hypothermia while clinging to a floating log in the middle of the Columbia River. The incident happened on June 15 at around 8:45 p.m. Revelstoke resident Cameron Vansolkema and his stepson Cody Thomson, 16, were camping at Blanket Creek Provincial Park south of Revelstoke. They canoed across the flooded Columbia River earlier in the day to do some fishing on the eastern shore.

Rescuer Colin Titsworth said he’s been an avid canoeist since he was a kid – something that helped him and Brett Renaud rescue two other Revelstokians from an icy death in the Columbia River. Facebook image

While on their way back across the river that evening, the pair slipped up for a brief moment. “We both looked over one side and it

just flipped,” said Thomson. “We tried flipping [the canoe] back over, but all the water went into it and it started to sink, so we started swim-

ming.” Thomson said they swam for about 20 minutes towards the western shore. They soon realized just how bad their predicament was. “I looked back and it was like we never even moved,” Thomson said. The Columbia is currently flooded and very wide at Blanket Creek. Thomson said that’s when they started cramping up and feeling the effects of the extreme cold. The pair managed to find a log that was floating in the middle of the river and swam towards it. “We started calling for help,” Thomson said. “I went into shock and got hypothermia. I was really freaked out.” Luckily for Vansolkema and Thomson, camper Brett Renaud and Blanket Creek park manager Colin

Titsworth were having a chat at one of the campsites closest to the river. “As we were taking, I said, ‘Did you hear that?’” Titsworth told the Times Review. The pair ran down to the shore. “We could see way off in the distance them splashing,” he said. “You could tell it was a pretty panicked yell.” They ran back up to the camping area, where Titsworth and Renaud commandeered a truck already loaded with a canoe from another campsite, driving down to the shore. They forged towards the struggling pair. When they arrived, Vansolkema was pulling Thomson along using a backstroke. “The kid

Airport Way will remain closed near Williamson’s Lake as crews work to repair a section of road that broke away after a culvert failed sometime last week. “If we’re open by a week from today, we will be fortunate. It could be longer,” said Darren Komonoski in an interview on Monday morning. The road was closed Thursday evening after a large sinkhole was noticed in the road at the bend just north of the Williamson Lake turnoff. City public works’ crews started excavating on Friday and continued to dig over the weekend. By Sunday night, there was fill piled three-metres high along long stretches of Airport Way on both sides of the sinkhole. Two excavators were parked on site. “The current status of the plan is we’re going to divert the water and with the work of the Ministry of the Environment we’re going to look at the existing pipe and evaluate if we’re going to repair or replace the pipe,” said Komonoski. The cost of the repairs has not been determined as of press time. The sinkhole was caused after a culvert beneath the road separated on a joint and the coupling let go, said Komonoski. He estimated the water was eroding the ground beneath the road for months now. He said the city inspects culverts weekly – and daily during rain events – but did not notice the problem because water was still flowing through the culvert. He estimated 80 per cent of the water was still flowing through but the remainder was escaping and eroding the road bed. As a result of the sinkhole, Airport Way is open to local traffic only between Nichol Road and Westerburg Road. The area immediately surround the excavation is closed. A detour has been set up via Nichol Road, Camozzi Road and Westerburg Road.

DRIVERS STRANDED, AGAIN Two mudslides on the TransCanada Highway caused by heavy rain left hundreds stranded in Revelstoke and caused 10-hour backlogs at the Shelter Bay ferry over the weekend. The first slide came down 15 kilometres west of Revelstoke on Saturday at around 6 p.m. A second slide came down later near Camp Creek, about 25 kilometres west of Revelstoke. As a result, the highway shut down for more than 40 hours, leaving hundreds of tractor-trailers and many other travellers stranded in Revelstoke. Those

looking to go the long way around via the Shelter Bay ferry were faced with waits of up to 10 hours. The line was so long that Highway 23 south was closed for several hours on Sunday to prevent more people from heading that way. The slide deposited large boulders on the Camp Creek Bridge. Sonia Koziboykian, co-owner of the (appropriately-named for now) Noah’s Ark Resort, which is near Camp Creek, confirmed that work crews were working to clear the bridge. She said her husband and guests at her resort had been to the site and reported several pieces of

heavy equipment making progress on the deluge at the bridge. She said the bridge elevation was not very high off the river, so it didn’t take much to send the boulders onto the road. The worst of the damage was in the Sicamous area, where a flash flood forced several hundred people to evacuate from Swansea Point along Mara Lake area.

School district sets $11-million budget for next school year ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Board of Education was presented with a 201213 budget of slightly more than $11 million at its final meeting of the school year last week. In her report to the board, Barbara Ross, the school district treasurer, said there was still a lot uncertainty in the budget due to the completion of the two new schools and Neighbourhood Learning Centres. “The maintenance and custodial needs of these facilities is, as yet, not finalized; nor are the leases/ contracts for our Acrobat Centre partners, the Francophone Authority and the Revelstoke Arts Council,” Ross wrote. The budget is based on operating grant revenue of $10,195,297; capital funding of $510,000 and special purpose funds of $346,516. The latter includes $127,866 from the province’s Learning Improvement fund, which was doubled this year due to savings obtained during the teachers’ strike. The district is expecting a decline of 12 students, mostly due

to the addition of the French school in Revelstoke. Teaching staff will be down the equivalent of 2.27 full time positions, a result of elementary school consolidation, reduced grade eight enrolment, and fewer electives at RSS. With seven teachers retiring, no layoffs are planned. Support staff costs have also been reduced by more than three full-time position. Overall, salaries and benefits will be down by $230,127, despite the school district paying two superintendents next year. The capital expenditures budget has been increased by almost $60,000 to purchase new furniture at Columbia Park and Arrow Heights Elementary schools, and to replace some district vehicles. The budget is preliminary and will not be finalized until final enrolment is determined later in the year. The trustees gave first, second and third readings to the budget and passed it unanimously.

NOTES FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD JUNE 21, 2012 FALL OPENING The school district is expected to take possession of the new elementary school on August 15, reported Earl Woodhurst, the district principal of operations and technology. The frame for the classroom block of the school and most of the wiring and drywall is complete, he reported, and plans for two playgrounds are being finalized. At the high school, the landscaping is being finished and a basketball court and two beach volleyball courts are being built. The school board staff also moved back into the school board office, which was renovated and given a new basement board room.

BOARD APPROVES BEGBIE VIEW ELEMEN- TRAIL-BUILDING TARY ON TARGET FOR COURSE AT RSS

Rogue biking trails in the area might get a whole lot better after the Revelstoke school board approved a new course on trail building. The course, Recreation Trail Management, was outlined by Revelstoke Secondary School teachers Jeff Colvin and Craig Weiler. As stated, “the course has been developed for students wanting a comprehensive study in sustainable trail development and maintenance, including, but not limited to, mountain biking and hiking trails.” The course, which will be taught in the evening and on several weekends, will include sections on tourism, mountain biking policy, environmental stewardship, grant applications, trail design and trail construction and maintenance. Trustee Elmer Rorstad said he hoped the course could lead to management opportunities. School district chair Alan Chell said the course could provide an opportunity for more personalized learning.

AHE SITE OF NEW FRENCH SCHOOL

Revelstoke’s new French school will be located at Arrow Heights Elementary. The school, which will have 12 students from kindergarten to grade 2, will have its own classroom, office and entrance, superintendent Anne Cooper reported. The addition of the school will see each Revelstoke elementary school lose four students, Cooper said.

NO NEW PRINCIPAL FOR RSS YET Revelstoke Secondary School will be heading into the summer with no new principal hired for next year. The position was re-advertised after the desired candidate turned down the job offer due to the cost of living in Revelstoke and family issues. Current principal Mike Hooker is leaving RSS to take over as school district superintendent at the start of the next school year. He and current superintendent Anne Cooper will share duties next year as the district transitions in preparation for Cooper’s retirement.

Compromise dog off-leash plan halves Downie Marsh area Proposal to eliminate whole area to off-leash walking is clawed back to only the marsh area nearest Downie Street Sawmills AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

When the City of Revelstoke proposed redrawing the off-leash dog areas in Revelstoke in April, the bylaw came with a big bark. The city proposed eliminating the popular dog walking area below the Revelstoke Workers’ Memorial next to Centennial Park. Now, after public consultation, that proposed restriction has lost its bite. On June 26 city council will consider a revised, “compromise” bylaw, said city planning director John Guenther.

Much of the proposed closure in the Downie Marsh area has been clawed back and will remain an offleash area. The core ‘marshy’ area – where the big ponds are next to Downie Timber – will now be offlimits for off-leash dogs, which is the only major change. However, there remains a significant band of off-leash area on the shore of the Columbia River all the way from Centennial Park to the new Mark Kingsbury pedestrian bridge. The Times Review attended a public consultation meeting on the proposed changes in May. The majority of attendees were dog owners; their comments over-

whelmingly focused on the Downie Marsh area – hoping to keep it offleash. “The main approach here is to try to minimize the impact on habitat as best we can within the Downie Marsh area, and I think most people should understand that,” Guenther told the Times Review. He said there were a range of opinions gathered as part of consultation. “There were middle of the road [people], there were environmentally inclined people that had dogs that thought it was still good to have an off-leash area around the marsh,” he said. “They didn’t see the real point of protecting the bird

habitat because they didn’t see the high environmental value there that other people saw.” The six other off-leash areas in Revelstoke either remain about the same or are expanded. The main expansions are on the Columbia Flats south of Illecillewaet River towards the Revelstoke Airport, and a large expansion in the Big Eddy to include the area from the dike to the Columbia River shore. There were also several other housekeeping tweaks and expansions to smaller off-leash areas in May. Those tweaks made straightforward sense; the off leash area in the Industrial Park was mis-mapped. The off-

leash area on Westside Road has been shifted from right on the road down to the shoreline. After June 26 council consideration, Guenther said the next step will be updating non-existent and unclear signage, as well as a fresh wave of animal control bylaw enforcement. Walking dogs off-leash on the ‘Blackbelt’ paved walkway from Centennial Park to Kovach Park has never been allowed, nor was a change contemplated this time. Guenther said animal control was out warning dog owners last week. Fines could follow.

Capsule Comments With David Lafreniere Looking at most of the evidence, coffee is good for us. One study looked at 480,000 people to determine if coffee had any effect on the risk of stroke. Compared to noncoffee drinkers there was an 8% reduction in stroke in those who drank one cup a day and a 13% reduction in those who drank 2-6 cups daily. The research on coffee didn’t differentiate between caffeine-containing coffee

and the decaffeinated version. Decaf-coffee used to get a bad reputation because of solvents used to extract the caffeine. Nowadays, the caffeine is removed using a Swiss water process or carbon dioxide extraction. These methods are harmless.

Revelstoke teachers rally to mark year without contract Teachers across BC rally to protest Bill 22 and mark anniversary; Revelstoke Teachers’ Association president Bill MacFarlane involved in bargaining at the provincial level worries contract will be imposed AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke teachers rallied in Grizzly Plaza to mark one year since they’ve been without a contract. A small group of teachers held placards and at the Victoria Road intersection, getting honks of support from some drivers. Revelstoke Teachers’ Association (RTA) president Bill MacFarlane has spent much of the past year at the bargaining table in the Lower Mainland, but was back in Revelstoke for the rally. He said he felt the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) has been at a disadvantage from the start, saying the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) anticipated the government would step in: “[The BCPSEA] knew that Abbott would legislate right from the beginning, so, right away, that puts them at an advantage. They’ve got all the power ... through the government.” Currently, the year-long struggle is held up awaiting a court decision on the appointment of mediator Charles Jago. His appointment was contested by the BCTF, who claimed he lacked mediation experience and is biased. A judge has yet to rule on the teachers’ challenge.

MacFarlane says he’s concerned the whole process is heading towards an imposed contract. “We’ve lived through imposed contracts before. They don’t work,” he said. “They just make everybody unhappy. It contributes to bad feelings in the school, bad morale as far as the relationship between the employer and

the employee. “The best way to resolve any of that is of course through negotiated settlement, which we couldn’t achieve because there was never any intent on the part of BCPSEA to come to an agreement in my opinion,” MacFarlane added.

B.C. teachers have been in a battle with the government for the past year when their last contract expired in June, 2011. The teachers’ union has argued for an increase in wages, benefits and better working conditions, including smaller class size and composition, a reduction in case loads, more class preparation time and improved learning specialist ratios. But the government has maintained all public sectors must accept a net-zero contract, which has resulted in a tumultuous stand-off between the union and the education ministry. Last September, the union entered phase one of job action, resulting in no teacher supervision during recess, and before and after school care; no teacher attendance in administrative meetings; and no teacher-written report cards. Job action escalated in March to a full-scale walkout that lasted three days. Shortly after, the government passed Bill 22 legislation that forbade further strike action and imposed a six-month “cooling off” period, which completes in August. One month later, the teachers’ union voted in favour of withdrawing from extracurricular activities. ~with notes from Katie Bartel/Chilliwack Progress/Black Press

from page 1 had kind of given up for the most part,” Titsworth said, noting he was in severe pain from cramping. The struggling pair just managed to make it to the log as the rescue canoe arrived. Thomson says without their rescue efforts, they wouldn’t be alive. “They picked me up ... I laid down [in the canoe.] I actually don’t remember that because I actually fell asleep,” he said of his experience slipping into shock. The pair took Thomson to shore and went back out for his stepfather, rescuing him as well.

We started installing smart meters in Revelstoke last month. You may have questions about this new technology and what it can do for you. Here are some important facts about the new meters: New Meters Are Safe Smart meters are safe, as conﬁrmed by international, federal and provincial health and science authorities including B.C.’s Provincial Health Ofﬁcer. The radio frequency from a smart meter over 20 years is equivalent to a single 30 minute cell phone call. Your Information Remains Private Similar to online banking systems, the data from the meters is secure and your privacy is protected. Smart meters report your total power use to BC Hydro for billing and cannot detect how you are using your power.

In the meantime, authorities in Revelstoke had been notified. RCMP, Revelstoke Search & Rescue and the BCAS were dispatched. They treated the pair for hypothermia. Both men are doing fine now. The Revelstoke RCMP are praising the efforts of Titsworth and Renaud. “The actions of Colin and Brett are extraordinary and both should be commended for their quick thinking,” said RCMP Staff-Sgt. Jacquie Olsen in a statement. Thomson wanted to come spend some time at home following the incident, but Renaud and Vansolkema stayed on camping at

Blanket Creek – and couldn’t be reached for an interview. Thomson would like to get in touch with Titsworth to thank him personally. “I haven’t seen Colin and he saved me,” Thomson said. “If he wouldn’t have come out I don’t think I would have made it.” What lesson does Thomson have to share about the incident? “Make sure you have a life jacket because it does save your life,” he said. Without it, “I wouldn’t be here for sure, no.” Titsworth said he was glad he could help: “In the end it’s just Revelstoke folk looking out for Revelstoke folk.”

RAC, city introduce Cultural Strategy Revelstoke Arts Council ends 2011/12 year with two new theatre venues in the mix; new year brings Revelstoke Cultural Strategy focusing on next decade AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Arts Council met for its Annual General Meeting on June 19 at McGregorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the Powder Springs Inn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of two brand-new theatrical venues in Revelstoke. Either new venue would be enough to make the year notable, but they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only new things creating a buzz in the arts sector. As weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear later, the Revelstoke Cultural Strategy update is fresh off the press. Like all AGMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it was a changing of the guard. Departing members included Cathy Granstrom, who was thanked for her six years of work with the council, including pioneering the Summer Street Festival when she took it on as a volunteer. New RAC board members are Emily Beaumont and Emma Kirkland. Returning board members are president Carol Palladino, Tina Lindegaard, Carmen Segger, John Devitt, Meghann Hutton, Amy Flexman, Neills Kristensen and Erin Johnston. RAC president Carol Palladino said the council was looking forward to the future of the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to be working with School District 19 on the management plan for the new Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a ways to go, but I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shared vision of making it truly a community cultural service. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early days and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be some growing pains.â&#x20AC;? Executive Director Garry Pendergast echoed Palladinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enthusiasm, telling the Times Review in a later interview that negotiations with the school district over the management plan had seen a â&#x20AC;&#x153;complete sea change.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really has become positive. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be the best in the region without a doubt,â&#x20AC;? he added. Pendergast said details of the 2012/13 Concert Series shows in the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre are being finalized. Did you know that the series is traditionally a money-loser for the council? They put it on for the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefit. This year, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve scheduled folk singer and songwriter James Keelaghan on Oct. 30, the Kelowna Ballet on Nov. 15, (tentatively) CBC Radioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas Carol sometime in December, and Rita Chiarelli at a to-be-determined date in March. Comedian and one-man variety show Robert Post is pencilled in for April.

Also new this year is a newly-revised Revelstoke Arts Council website as well as a Revelstoke Spirit Festival website. Their full compliment of annual events and festivals is coming back, including the Concert Series, Summer Street Festival, Revelstoke Spirit Festival and the Handmade Parade. Pendergast notes the RAC has attracted the risquĂŠ sequins, glamour and sass of the Cheescake Burlesque Revue for the Revelstoke Spirit Fest in 2013.

REVELSTOKE CULTURAL STRATEGY The Revelstoke Cultural Strategy entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Revving Upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is an update of an existing plan from 2006. It maps out Revelstokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural strategy for the next decade. It was prepared by consultants GDH Solutions and Creative Outsources who worked with the City of Revelstokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parks, Recreation and Culture department and the Revelstoke Arts Council on the plan. It is now basically done, but will need to be integrated with other city documents, starting with an appointment with Revelstoke city council on June 26. The strategy includes a push to have the municipality more involved in supporting arts initiatives, amongst many other directions. Citing popular contemporary theories that suggest the cultural life of a municipality is a key economic driver and attractant of other business and economic activity, the report lays out a case for increased municipal support for the arts sector. It also notes internet-based information sharing enables new kinds of cultural life not possible before, expanding possibilities even more. The visioning portion of the strategy focuses on preserving and enhancing all aspects of cultural life in Revelstoke, with a particular focus on creating new partnerships and collaboration at all levels. The strategy also has an eye on the soon-to-beempty Mountain View Elementary School, wondering if it could liberate the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre from the old RCMP detachment cells.

Reader gives a big thumbs down to eliminating parking for bike lane Editor, The idea of bike lanes or the recently invented “sharrows” as proposed by the Enhancement Committee is innovative and is only exceeded by the lack of thought that went into its proposal. The idea of removing parking on the north side of Fourth Street ranks right up there with the triangular wheel. Why people on the north side of Fourth Street should be denied parking has yet to be explained. The idea that “sharrows” will make the streets safer for children is the first misconception by the committee as it evidently does not know, or wishes to ignore, the student population of Revelstoke. Drive down Fourth Street now and you will find the bike crowd all over the road, the adult population however can be counted on your thumbs. What does the committee suggest for cyclists at night? What rules if any should be in place, again the adults are noted by their absence. What does the committee propose for snow removal? With snow placed in the middle of the road, there is hardly enough room now to drive without installing the bike lanes. What consideration if any has been given to truck traffic, are trucks to be eliminated? As the city is in charge of snow removal, have they considered the logistics of this cost of clearing bike lanes and sidewalks? Is this why the bike lane only to be considered to the end of October? Are the bikes all to be hung up at the end of October? The committee has proposed bike lanes (note plural, not singular) from the Illecillewat Bridge to the Big Eddy Bridge, however it has not solved the problem of crossing the entrance of the city by the eastern access, try looking south down Fourth Street to the traffic coming towards you, are we to have yet another four way stop? What route has the committee pro-

L ET T ER S posed to get from Fourth to Third? I note that bike lanes have already been painted on the road, what has been the cost to the taxpayer of this action? Are bikes to be licensed or are they going to go free, who pays for all of this utopian idea, the cyclist or the taxpayer? The answer to all of these questions is moot, and the invention of new words is only an insult to the residents’ intelligence. Are people going to rush to Revelstoke because of the bike lanes or are people going to move from Revelstoke because of the lack of parking – I think the latter not the former. The other alternative is to ban automobiles and trucks from the city streets and replace them with rickshaws that can be licensed, what a business opportunity for the taxi company! Ronold Holoday, Revelstoke

FISHERIES CRITIC DERIDES’ MP DAVID WILKS’ POSITION ON OMNIBUS BUDGET BILL Editor, What will be left of Canada’s fisheries after MP David Wilks is through? He voted to pass the Conservative government’s reckless changes to the Fisheries Act, which remove provisions that protect fish habitat from destruction. Habitat destruction is the most common reason for decline of a species. Without habitat, we can’t have healthy fish stocks.

These changes undo the cornerstone of environmental law in Canada and have attracted widespread opposition – even from Conservatives. Former conservative fisheries ministers Tom Siddon and John Fraser have publicly opposed the changes. So have more than 625 scientists and former Liberal fisheries ministers Herb Dhaliwal and David Anderson. Existing laws can be improved, but these changes are being passed without the proper scrutiny they need to get the balance right. The Conservatives are ramming them through in their 400-page omnibus budget bill, leaving no time for proper study. They claim these changes are so essential that they have to be passed right away, yet they didn’t even merit a single mention in the Conservatives’ recent election platform. The changes are part of a widespread, willing neglect for our fish by the Conservatives. While they have grown public spending by leaps and bounds over their six years in power, they have cut the Department of Fisheries and Oceans by over 25 per cent. Poor enforcement has greatly reduced the number of pollution and habitat violations that are pursued by DFO; indeed, convictions for violations are now almost non-existent. Over 75,000 Canadians are directly or indirectly employed through our fisheries and many more fish for fun, with one in every seven adult Canadians applying for licences every year. Mr. Wilks needs to shake off the iron-grip of the Prime Minister’s office, start thinking for himself and protect our fish! Lawrence MacAulay, MP Liberal Critic for Fisheries Oceans

Revy Foodies explore creating a more resilient local food movement WE ALL KNOW THE LANGUAGE – THE 100-MILE DIET, LOCAVORES, FOOD SECURITY, LOCAL FOOD – NOW REVYFOODIES IS SEEKING TO UNITE AND BUILD MOMENTUM FOR THE LOCAL FOOD MOVEMENT AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Given it was about the only sunny evening so far this year, a crowd of about 45 who attended the Revy Foodies inaugural event on June 21 showed there is a healthy appetite to continue building a local food movement in Revelstoke. The keynote speaker was Vancouver-based urban food and agriculture specialist Janine de la Salle. De la Salle, an Agriculture Systems Specialist with HB Lanarc-Golder, was named Young Planner of the Year by the Canadian Institute of Planners in 2010. She has published articles in planning and popular media and in 2010 published Agricultural Urbanism: Handbook for Building Sustainable Food Systems in 21st Century Cities. We’re all familiar with the basic concepts – food security and the 100 Mile Diet, for example – which are all tied together into a larger local food movement that’s swept across popular culture in the past five years. “I prefer the term food resiliency,” de la Salle told the audience. The focus of the presen-

tation and discussion was how to build on the move-

ment and integrate it into city plans. And the move-

ment, no doubt, has been in Revelstoke for years. Those in the audience included Rob Jay and Terra Park of Terra Firma Farms, Christy Shaw of Mountain Goodness Natural Foods, Revelstoke Community Garden designer Kate Walsh, local food processor Conor Hurley of Stoke Roasted Coffee and Josee Zimanyi of the Modern Bakeshop & Cafe – to name a few. De la Salle said focusing on the municipal level is key, saying provincial-level action can be frustrating. “You’re not in a real changeplace anymore,” she said. Even though she’s a planner herself, de la Salle recommended grassroots action, encouraging activists to organize and create “a groundswell that trickles up.” “There’s a lot of other things you can do before you get to policy,” she said. Going a bit against the grain, the food systems expert told the audience that the extreme of a local-foodonly utopia as espoused by some was a misnomer; we’re always going to rely on imports to a large extent, especially given our local agriculture reality. Creating a more sustainable food sys-

tem requires a multi-faceted approach. One local initiative de la Salle recommended was creating a food charter. De la Salle has been heavily involved in food systems planning in Vancouver. That city adopted their Vancouver Food Charter in 2007. The charter is based on five guiding principles – community economic development, ecological health, social justice, collaboration & participation and celebration. She feels that food charters are a great first step in small towns. “What about food and agriculture is important to you?” she asked – something to be considered when creating a food charter. The movement can’t run on enthusiasm alone, she said. There are lots of sources of food initiative funding. She recommended sources like the Columbia Basin Trust, the Real Estate Foundation of B.C., Interior Health, credit unions and the local Community Futures branch as a source of funding for job-creating initiatives. Much of the discussion focused on local issues, zeroing in agriculture. The local climate and lack of

agricultural land were both cited as major hindrances to local agriculture. On the other hand, green thumbs have eyed out lots of small, local plots that are fallow every year. De la Salle encourages changing local policies to encourage urban farming. such as allowing farm sales from urban farm plots. *** Another topic of discussion is the City of Revelstoke’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan. The contract was tendered by the City of Revelstoke in April of this year and the plan is in early development phases. It explores all things social, environmental and economic – of which the local food system is a big part. City environmental sustainability coordinator Penny PageBrittin (who recently had her contract extended for three more years) explained to the group that there would be significant overlap between the food initiatives and the ICSP. So, what’s next? Participants seemed inspired, but there wasn’t any direct next step planned, other than to maintain existing programs and digest the possibilities.

Revelstoke Derailers win Ski Town Showdown ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Top: AKilla the Honey of the Revelstoke Derailers attempts to break through the Black Diamond Betties’ blockers.; Left: Tank braces for a hit from Gold E Blocks.; Above: The Derailers’ Hannah Balector blocks the Betties’ Lass Eurasian.

Whistler may have a bigger ski resort, but when it comes to roller derby, the ladies of Revelstoke are tops. The Revelstoke Derailers defeated the the Black Diamond Betties 190 to 139 to win the Ski Town Showdown and the first ever roller derby bout in Revelstoke. “It was a great battle. It was a lot cleaner, more plays, more structured than the last team we played,” said Jen Kipling, the Derailers assistant captain. “This team was a lot stronger so it was really good placement on the score and really good competition.” The night was a boisterous affair, with the line stretching around the Forum 30 minutes before the bout started. The sold-out crowd of 800 people packed into the forum to cheer on the home town ladies. The Derailers skated out onto the rink, dressed in their new royal blue and grey uniforms. The Black Diamond Betties followed, coming out with ski goggles on and ski poles in hand. One Betty skated around the rink taunting the crowd with a sign saying ‘Derail This.’ The Derailers, boistered by the home town crowd, got off to a flying start, with Kernel Panic earning lead jammer status off the bat and skating Revelstoke to an early lead.

In the second jam, a penalty to the Betties’ jammer gave Revelstoke’s AKilla the Honey free reign of the track and she added to the Derailers’ lead. Tank, the third member in Revelstoke’s trio of jammers, also achieved lead jammer status in her first turn on the track. The first half ended with the score 97-57 in Revelstoke’s favour. The action on the track throughout the first half was fierce, with several big hits being laid on both sides. The half ended with Kernel Panic going down hard, but she got back up and was ready to go. The second half started with Revelstoke adding to its lead, particularly AKilla the Honey, who seemed to be constantly finding seams in the pack. By the 10 minute mark, Revelstoke’s lead was 157-76. After that, Whistler started to climb back, pulling within 40 points and looking like they were going to make it close, but a strong finish by Revelstoke, including one jam where the Derailers were down to only three blockers due to penalties, made the final score 190-139. “It was amazing having this much energy in the building and it helped us play really well as a team with everyone behind us,” said Kipling. The Derailers next home bout is Saturday, July 21, against the Penticton Pistoleras.

End of an era at Mountain View Elementary

Canada Day Above right: Retiring Mountain View Elementary School principal Bob Cooper presents students with a cake in the shape of their elementary school. Built in 1914, the school was a high school before switching over to an elementary school in 1965. Revelstoke Museum & Archives Curator Cathy English (below) gave a presentation on the history of the school, noting the various additions and subtractions from the facility over the years. Did you know the school grounds used to boast an opera house? Above: Alex Farrugia and Catherine Bellerose sell commemorative T-shirts of the school that include a painting of the school by local artist Rachel Kelly. The shirts are available through the school parent advisory committee or at Sangha Bean in Revelstoke. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

Culture strategy update from page 5 Both Mountain View and Mt. Begbie Elementary have been eyed as new culture centres since they were scheduled to close, but the plan doesn’t elaborate much on any proposals, taking a wait-and-see view. The report finishes with 16 recommendations. Some highlights include: - Ensuring the new theatre serves the needs of the community as well as the school district - Engaging the entire local arts and culture community, emphasizing new members from youth-oriented culture and senior decision-makers from government - Cross-promoting arts and culture events through the Revelstoke Accommodation Association and the Chamber of Commerce to attract more visitors - Encourage the City of Revelstoke to take on a greater role in supporting the arts - Continue to acquire and install public art - Target Revelstoke residents not currently involved in arts and culture through improved communication - Evolve a cultural tourism marketing program

The Revelstoke Best Western Plus hotel has received one of the chain’s highest honours for quality. The hotel, which opened in 2011, won the Best Western Chair Award, which recognizes the top five per cent of hotels out of the chain’s 2,400 North American properties in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. “I’m very excited about it and

very proud of my staff,” said manager Chelsea Lamont. She credited regular maintenance and a caring attitude as keys to the hotel’s success. “Getting your staff to care about what they’re doing,” she added. The 87-room hotel was also voted “2012 #6 Hotel for Families in Canada” by the website Trip Advisor. “Receiving the Chair Award from Best Western is a tremendous honor,” said general man-

ager Brady Beruschi. “This award demonstrates our staffs’ commitment to providing quality accommodations for our guests. Our housekeeping, maintenance and front desk departments have worked extremely hard to achieve this level of excellence” He thanked the management team of Lamont, Kelly O’Brien and Andre Cadieux for its hard work. “Without their leadership, these awards could not have been achieved,” Beruschi said.

The Revelstoke forest fire fighters pedal off to work at the start of Bike to Work Week last month. The team led the way, biking 1,662 kilometres to and from work during the week. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Times Review staff

Bike to Work Week 2012 was the most successful one to date in Revelstoke, with more than 425 cyclists taking part over the course of the event. 427 total cyclists, representing a record 54 teams, took part in BTWW, which ran from May 28 to June 3. Those numbers are up from 390 cyclists and 48 teams in 2011. The total number of kilometres biked was down to 11,693, from 12,377 last year. It took a collective 1,557 rider-days to reach that total. Of the 427 participants, 260 were women and 59 were new cyclists. Just

over half of all employees biked to work that week. The top team this year was the BC Wildfire Management Branch, which cycled a collective 1,662 kilometres to and from work. They usurped the BC Hydro Megawatts for top spot; they cycled 1,135 kilometres – less than half their total of last year. The city parks & recreation department, the Fellowship Baptist Church, Helios, Mountain Goodness all had perfect cycle-commuting records. At the celebration stations, 73 people showed up in Grizzly Plaza and 42 at Queen Victoria Hospital.

Golden racer takes fourth Twoonie XC race BERNIER CONTINUES TO DOMINATE WOMEN’S RACE Contributed by the Revelstoke Cycling Association

The last day of spring finally brought summer-like weather for the fourth race of the Arrow Helicopters Wednesday Night Racing Series. Twenty-nine riders tested themselves on a race course that included Stimulus, Black Forest and TNT (after doing two quick laps of the Nordic parking lot as a warm-up). The men’s race saw a first time winner as Martin Lapointe (who travelled all the way from Golden for the race) was victorious. Marty Schaeffer, Don Robertson, Jeff Bellis and Dominic Unterbeger were all very close behind making it one of the most competitive races of the season. Melanie Bernier again comfortably led the women’s field however the race for second was much closer with Sophie-Anne Blanchette just holding off Kelsey Furk . We have now passed the halfway point in the series. There will be a

short mid season break with the next race planned for mid-July. We’ve got some exiting new courses planned for the remaining three races – make sure you come and check them out. Don’t forget that if you take part in at least three RCA events you will be eligible to win a day of heli-skiing with Selkirk Tangiers or a Contour POV camera from Pharmasave. Our series standings have also been updated. Kellen Viznaugh leads the men’s standings while Melanie Bernier is the current women’s leader. Both of our leaders have the advantage of participating in all four races (in addition to finishing well in those races). Other riders are nipping at their heels so looks like it will be an exciting race to see who takes home the prize money. Remember that the best five out of seven scores will be counted and there are several ways to score bonus points so there is still alot of potential for standings to change.

The program provides transportation to out of town medical appointments for individuals in our community, has seen a dramatic increase in usage in the last four months, said Jean Pedersen, volunteer coordinator with the seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association. The funds donated help to pay fuel expenses for the med-

ical drives that caring volunteers provide. The program has been well received in the community and had grown steadily over the last two years. Pedersen said the sudden increase was a bit of a surprise, but the volunteer drivers really come through for the program, enabling individuals in the community to meet their medical needs. The RSCA and the program coordinator wished to thank the Moberly Park Manor Foundation for their generous donation to this valuable community program. They also thanked the volunteer drivers who make it all possible. For more information about the program, please call 250837-9456, Tuesday through Friday between 9 and noon.

Libra, you don’t have to prove yourself to anyone, so why are you always seeking someone else’s approval? Try thinking for yourself this week, and you may be surprised at the results.

Taurus, there’s a financial opportunity on the horizon and you just have to find out how to get in on the action. Scorpio may be able to lend some information this week.

Quiet contemplation can yield a few answers to the things you want to know, Scorpio. You often take for granted the silent moments that are offered.

Gemini, you’ll have to make the most of a situation because there’s nothing you can do this week to change the outcome. It may be a tough couple of days.

Aquaducks send huge team to Lumby meet Contributed by Revelstoke Aquaducks

The Lumby Lightning Swim Club hosted its annual invitational swim meet this past weekend. Despite the torrential rain and electrical storms at the outdoor venue, the Revelstoke Aquaducks’ hardiness and determination

showed with excellent results and many personal best times. “I was impressed by the dedication of our swimmers,” said Cynthia Pfeiffer, who is in her second year with the Aquaducks as assistant coach. “Many swam well despite the wild conditions.” A popular early season meet with the Aquaducks since the late 1980s,

the Lumby meet is known for its usually sunny outdoor setting and ever-friendly adjacent Lions Campground, which is taken over by dozens of Revelstoke families. Of all the Okanagan teams attending the meet, Revelstoke usually sends a substantial team but this year a whopping 67 Aquaducks competed, making up about

one third of all the competitors. A dozen Aquaducks like Rider Litke and Brennan Patry were competing in their first ever meet and impressed their coaches as they handled the adverse conditions and set personal bests. Veterans swam well too, including Hunter Stewardson posting a provincial qualifying time of 54 seconds in the Division 1 Girls 50m breaststroke and Cynthia Pfe-

iffer setting a new meet record of 1:13.50 in the Division 7 Girls 100m backstroke. Full meet results can be found at www.revelstokeaquaducks.ca as soon as they are made available. The Aquaduck’s next competitions are the Ogopogo Invitational this weekend in Kelowna and the Aquaducks Invitational on July 16 and 17 at the Revelstoke Aquatic Centre.

Janice Patrick, the ¿rst born child of Thomas and Isabelle McDowell, who were both talented musicians, arrived on February 28, 1917 in Vernon, B.C. She had three siblings, Elaine, Stuart and Kenneth. At the age of ¿ve she was a musical child prodigy and performed concerts at the MacDonald and Palliser Hotels in Edmonton and Calgary, Alberta. She continued studying music and performing extensively until she married George Patrick in 1941 and moved to Revelstoke, B.C. where after George ¿nished his work with the CPR they operated a Credit Bureau.With music being a part of her soul, she soon taught piano and voice and mentored many excellent musicians who went on to perform and enjoy music with the same passion Janice had for musical excellence. She loved her music. She loved her cats. She loved gourmet food and cooking. She loved to entertain and to be entertained. She loved red wine and scotch whiskey! She loved to laugh with friends and family. Many wonderful times were spent in Europe attending musical concerts, workshops and visiting with friends. She ventured north to the wilds of Northern Alberta to spend Christmases with her family travelling by Greyhound and arriving on Christmas Eve to play the Christmas carols for the family gathering. Her life was rich in friends and family and her trips on the Greyhound to Vernon and Kelowna to share her musical talents as a teacher were legendary. Such also allowed her to spend time with her sister Elaine and brother-in-law Brig Young who lived in Peachland, B.C. Janice brought a great repertoire of musical talent to Revelstoke and area which she shared for many, many years. Her awards from her talent as a teacher of voice and piano and member of the BC and Canadian Music Teacher's Associations were numerous but her favorite award was being selected as Revelstoke's Citizen of the Year in 2000 for the impact she had in the community with her contribution to the world of music. She was a classy woman always "dressed” and proper when she ventured out from Mackenzie Avenue where she lived for many years. Her caregivers say she was so appreciative of the wonderful care she received at Mt. Cartier Court and she continued her outings to the downtown area with the assistance of loving companions. Memories of "Auntie Niece" as she was known to her family are cherished by her niece, Sandra Young Kolbuc of Whitecourt, Alberta and her nephew Ross Young of Victoria, B.C. and their families, as well as by her sister-in-law Helen McDowell of Surrey, B.C. Janice was also loved by her Godchild Ania Flagg (nee Westaway) and family of Nanaimo, B.C. as well as by those many students she mentored in their quest for bringing forward the best of their musical abilities. A true celebration of Janice's love of music and of the full life she lived will be held at St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Revelstoke, B.C. on Saturday, July 28 at 2:00 p.m. Former students who wish to perform are welcome to do so as a variety of musical selections and stories of those who wish to honor Janice in this way are encouraged. Please contact Gary Sulz of the Brandon Bowers Funeral Home at 250-837-2029 if you wish to be a part of the musical and/or spoken gifts to the memory of Janice with your performance or words of remembrance. Messages of condolence may be sent to the family by visiting Janice’s obituary notice at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com.

Employee Pricing refers to A-Plan pricing ordinarily available to Ford of Canada employees (excluding any CAW-negotiated programs). The new vehicle must be delivered or factory-ordered during the Program Period from your participating Ford Dealer. This offer can be used in conjunction with most retail consumer offers made available by Ford at either the time of factory order or delivery, but not both.

Up to 8 prizes available to be won in Canada in 3 possible prize categories, each worth up to CAD$50,000.
