City of Revelstoke proposes ‘softer’ smoking restrictions Despite more support than opposition, the city is retreating on increased smoking restrictions in parks, walkways, patios and public spaces AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
Bathers enjoy a dip at the St. Leon’s hot springs last winter. A Vancouver group is looking to acquire the alex Cooper photography popular hot springs with the goal of protecting them.
Vancouver couple’s plans to ‘protect’ St. Leon Hot Springs includes healing retreat Newly-formed society hopes donations and user-fees will raise $2.9 million to purchase St. Leon Hot Springs property to create their vision for healing retreat AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
A Vancouver couple wants to protect the St. Leon Hot Springs from future development by creating a healing retreat on the location – saying if they don’t, it’s just a matter of time before the popular natural hot springs is developed into a commercial resort. However, the couple’s vision for the property includes significant development plans, including a campsite, parking lots, renovating the existing natural pools, potentially piping water to new pools and introducing fees for some of these services. The couple would also like to live on the property themselves for part of the year. The hot spring’s pools are located off of Highway 23 about 25 kilometres south of the Galena Bay ferry terminal. It was commercially-operated as a spa until the 1950s when steamer service
ceased, ending its viability. Flooding of the Arrow Lakes Reservoir in the late 1960s covered much existing infrastructure, including the remains of the St. Leon Hotel which burned in November, 1968. Since then, it has existed as a natural hot springs accessed via a drive, hike or ski up a logging road. Currently, users can access the pools for free, but they are technically trespassing to get there. Vancouverite Heather Bryant and her common-law husband Bill Small have recently set up a booth at the Nakusp Farmers’ Market, where they’re providing information on their vision and taking donations from residents on behalf of the St. Leon Hot Springs Society. Bryant explains it is a subsidiary of The BC Hot Springs Preservation Society, a brand new umbrella organization interested in preserving hot springs in B.C. by developing them into healing centres. Bryant explained their lawyer was setting the societies up in
a way to ensure a hostile takeover wasn’t possible. They’re looking for Nakusp and Revelstoke residents hoping to get involved. Their vision for the 390-acre property includes the campsite and temporary structures including yurts, tipis, tents and geodesic domes. “Low key, off the grid,” Bryant said. They hope to install composting toilets and solar showers on the site. The healing hot springs would be complimented by healing stations equipped with massage tables. “The biggest part of our vision is to maintain the natural environment around the hot springs,” Bryant said. “We don’t want to create a resort, we don’t want a condominium structure, we don’t want a golf course. We want it to stay natural so people can come there as mother nature offers it to us.”

Revelstoke City Hall is backing away from smoking restrictions proposed a year ago, removing many proposed restrictions and making others optional at the discretion of businesses. In August of 2011, city council gave first readings to a bylaw that would introduce significant new smoking restrictions in public spaces in Revelstoke. The move came after a request by the city’s health advisory committee to do so. After almost a year with no public action on the bylaw, the city has retreated from their position despite little formal input opposing it. In fact, the city received only nine official submissions. Four supported the ban or asked for further restrictions; three opposed the ban; one focused on litter and another lobbied for a specific concession. The proposed revisions to the bylaw came at the direction of the city’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Committee. The Revelstoke Times Review contacted Gary Starling, the standing committee’s chairperson, but he said he wouldn’t be available for an interview until after our press time. Revelstoke mayor David Raven said the changes are designed to soften a “heavyhanded” bylaw that was “too intrusive into our rights and freedoms.” “According to the cards and letters, it’s about fifty-fifty,” Raven said of the feedback. “There were some flaws in the original draft. It became a bit more obtrusive than necessary and a bit more heavy handed. The amendments soften it in some respects, but it still achieves the final results.” Why has the bylaw taken a year to move from second to third reading? “I think there’s been other priorities,” Raven said, adding the planning department has been busy focusing on economic issues. The restrictions proposed in 2011 would have banned smoking on city property, including in parks. The city has
dialled back that proposal to allow smoking in parks, with some restrictions. Smoking will be banned on playgrounds and an eight-meter buffer zone around them. You won’t be allowed to light up on playing fields, but spectators can – if they take a few steps back behind the four-metre buffer zone. Smoking won’t be allowed on public beaches and an eight-metre buffer zone around them. The city has also backed away from a ban on smoking on public pathways and walkways and are now proposing installing ashtrays at the entrances of the city’s Greenbelt walkway. Neither ban prohibited smoking on sidewalks, unless the area overlapped with other restrictions. Other new smoking restrictions are proposed, but many of them are already included in provincial legislation. For example, the city proposes banning smoking in city vehicles, although that’s already banned under provincial rules. The city wants to ban smoking in transit shelters and public buildings – both already covered by a provincial ban. The province bans smoking within three metres of an entrance to a public building. The revised city plan calls for an extension to eight metres. In a letter to council, the Revelstoke Golf Club requested an exemption from the ban on city-owned property. Wording changes in the bylaw now mean smoking will be allowed on the Revelstoke Golf Club course. The city also proposes allowing designated smoking areas during outdoor special events in places like Grizzly Plaza if the organizers designate smoking areas on their application – in the 2011 draft it would have been banned. These new exemptions also apply to parades and street closures. Smoking on public patios leased by the

CSRD recommends refusal for Eagle Bay development land use request ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
The first step in the process of a potential development near the Eagle Bay campground south of Revelstoke has been met with resistance from locals and the Columbia Shuswap Regional District. An application by the developer Sage Investments to have a 500-acre portion of the 2,500-acre parcel excluded from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) was sent to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) by the CSRD with a unanimous vote in favour of a recommendation of refusal at its monthly board meeting in Salmon Arm on July 19. The ultimate decision on the request rests with the ALC and they could approve the request regardless. The 2,448-acre Eagle Bay property is located about 75 kilometres south of Revelstoke on the western shore of the Upper Arrow Lake, where the Eagle Bay Forest Service Recreation Campsite is located. Sage Investments acquired the land in 2008 after the timber company Pope & Talbot went bankrupt. 520 acres of the parcel are within the ALR, so the first step for the developer is to have that land excluded from the reserve. In the meantime, Sage Investments has gone about clear-cutting the property. The CSRD board sided with a staff report that recommended refusal on the grounds the proposal was contrary to the district’s agricultural policies and the mandate to preserve farmland; that staff couldn’t support exclusion in an area with no zoning; and that the Advisory Planning Commission (APC) for Area B opposed the exclusion. “In the absence of having a zoning bylaw

in place we have requested the ALC refuse this application at this time,” said Area B director Loni Parker. At the July 19 meeting the CSRD board also gave first reading to a new zoning bylaw for Area B. The bylaw is expected to be passed early next year and will give the CSRD more control over how land is developed. The proponent met with the APC in May 2011, where a report on the agricultural potential of the land was presented. The report indicated the land was of little agricultural value, except for use in growing tree fruits. However, its isolation and the lack of agriculture in the surrounding area meant that
use was unlikely. The APC asked for a more detailed analysis, which Sage Investments declined to provide. Ron Thomson, the land manager for Sage Investments, said he was not surprised about the board’s vote. “We would have liked to have seen it forwarded on a neutral basis to see the land commission look at on its merits as farmland,” he told the Times Review. Thomson said the logging likely coloured the APC’s vote and that the members didn’t vote solely based on the land’s farming merits. “It was emotional and it was strong and it was largely related to the logging and not
wanting to reward bad behaviour,” he said. Parker said the logging didn’t play into the recommendation but that members of the APC were “dismayed” about the logging. “They clear cut right through the area,” she said. “That has caused dismay not just with APC but with just about every resident in Revelstoke and Nakusp.” A spokesperson for the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations confirmed Sage Investments was being investigated for its logging activities in the area. The land is private, so Sage has the right to cut down trees, however it is still required to adhere to all environmental, fisheries and forestry regulations, Brennan Clarke said. While he did not go into detail, he said damage to riparian areas, sediment in stream beds and cutting to close to the lakeshore were issues being looked at. Thomson said he remains hopeful the ALC will approve the request. “From the report and the study that was done it seems pretty clear its not really suitable for farmland,” he said. “If that’s the sole criteria I think we have a pretty good chance.” Development of the land is still a ways off but Thomson did confirm that logging the land was part of the business plan for the property, and that the logging was done “to the letter of the law.” For Parker, Sage’s actions so far have not inspired trust so far, noting the company kept logging even after it was asked to stop as a gesture of respect. Successful developers, she said, work with the APC and CSRD staff. “If a developer wants to be a successful developer, he has to work within the system,” she said.

Metal recycler applauds new law that cracks down on theft ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Jamie McCabe is familiar with the issue of metal theft. The coowner of MC Metal Recycling, he’s seen metal stolen from his bins around town and his yard at the end of Powerhouse Road in the industrial park. “I see sometimes what’s in the bin then I’ll drive by later and go, ‘Oh! There’s stuff missing.’” he told the Times Review. “We’re talking thousands and thousands of dollars.” That’s why he’s applauding new provincial regulations designed to stop metal theft that went into effect on Monday. “The legislation, I think, it will become more work for us – now we
have to take the license numbers and all that stuff – but it will help out on theft,” McCabe said. The law requires people looking to sell regulated metals to present valid identification. In turn, scrap dealers and recyclers who buy metals must share purchase details with police. Police can then take this information and use it to investigate reports of stolen metal. McCabe said he’s spoken to a few police officers about the thefts but was told that unless he could get an identification like a license plate number there was little that could be done. “The couple vehicles I have seen, I didn’t get their plate numbers,” he said. Staff-Sgt. Jacquie Olsen of the Revelstoke RCMP said metal theft
Jamie McCabe. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review
wasn’t a big issue for them. “We’ve had hardly any complaints that I’m aware of of scrap metal theft,” she said.
She said it was hard to investigate – how do you tell what’s stolen and what’s not? According to the B.C. government, theft of copper phone wire is one of the biggest problems. TELUS estimates it dealt with 200 metal theft incidents last year, at an average costs to repair of $50,000 each. CP Rail also deals with metal thefts. “I wouldn’t say it’s on a weekly basis but it is an issue we have to deal with on a monthly basis,” said CP Rail police officer Larry Parsons. He said solving the thefts is “very difficult” but did note one person recently received a one year jail sentence in Kamloops for theft. “It’s like any kind of stolen property – if it’s not marked, it’s really
difficult to prove who owns it,” said Parsons. “A lot of time it’s a crime of opportunity where they see it and take it.” McCabe, who purchased the metal recycling depot last year with his business partner Aaron Winger, said it’s impossible to know how much is stolen. There are bins located around Revelstoke and they are open for people to drop scrap metal into. That means metal could be stolen before he even knows it’s there. As a solution, he is looking at putting up security cameras at the metal yard and in other locations. In the meantime he welcomes the new law, even though he’s not sure if it will solve the problem. “I think it’s great. It keeps people more honest.”
Mayor Raven acclaimed CSRD board chairperson
Airport Way reopens after costly repairs
BARB BROUWER
Revelstoke’s Airport Way reopened at 3 p.m. on Thursday, July 19, almost four weeks after a sinkhole closed the road on June 22. The City of Revelstoke public works operations manager Darren Komonoski said problems with the soil on the scene lengthened the delay and caused costs to skyrocket. City crews had repaired the failed culvert that had caused the sinkhole and had refilled the hole by about a third when an engineer determined the soil wasn’t going to work – it wasn’t stable enough.
Black Press
There was no need to vote. No other names were put forward and Dave Raven took the chair position by acclamation at the Columbia Shuswap Regional District’s July 19 board meeting in Salmon Arm. The mayor of Revelstoke and representative for his community on the CSRD board had taken over as interim chair when longtime Electoral Area C South Shuswap director Ted Bacigalupo became seriously ill last winter. “It’s an honour,” Raven told the Times Review, who noted he’d been interim chair for several months. Bacigalupo’s death in June left not only an empty chair but a vacancy at the head of the table as well. Longtime Electoral Area E Rural Sicamous director Rhona Martin was elected vice-chair on the first ballot, and said she considers the position to be an honour. Following this administrative task, Raven noted two letters of condolence the regional district received following Bacigalupo’s death. “In my time in politics and through working with those serving at the local government level, I have experience firsthand the many British Columbians who have selflessly devoted their time, energy and ideas to improving their communities in so many ways,” wrote Ida Chong, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. “I understand Ted was enthusiastic and passionate about the issues affecting the citizens … His accomplishments are a testament to his commitment to the needs of the electorate.” Heath Slee, president of the Union of BC Municipalities, noted the depth of experience Bacigalupo acquired during his 13 years of service will be missed at the board table. “The death of a colleague is also unsettling for us all, and a reminder that beyond the concerns and interests of community service there are forces of life that unite each of us as human beings,” wrote Slee. “It is this shared aspect of our lives, our common humanity, which makes community service so important.”

The city had to dig up the material and ship it out. They then got new, more suitable gravel and completed the job. In early July, Komonoski told city council the repairs would cost more than $100,000. It’s now apparent it will cost much, much more. “That is going to increase, I will tell you that,” Komonoski told the Times Review. He said he didn’t have an estimate because contractor bills weren’t in yet, but he would prepare a report to city council in the coming weeks. The major diversion of equipment, manpower and budget will eat into other projects that were planned for this summer. Komonoski said city staff would meet soon to make decisions, but
Smoking restrictions, from page 1 city was a grey area under the bylaw proposed in 2011. The bylaw seemed to ban smoking on patios, but when questioned city staff were unsure. Now, they’re proposing leaving it up to the business owner to decide if smoking will be allowed on their patios. Mayor Raven said his other issue was philosophical: “Should we actually have to create legislation for what you would think would be common sense and common fairness and decency? Should you really have to regulate something when you know you’re doing something that’s
said it was possible playing field repairs, paving and other civic projects will not happen this summer. “The money has to come from somewhere,” he said. The road will be left unpaved for several weeks to allow for settling. There will also be supplemental work in the area in the coming weeks. The sinkhole and closure was near the Williamson’s Lake turnoff. Drivers have been detouring around the site via Camozzi Road. Riparian areas located on either side of the road also contributed to the complexity of fixing the break.
upsetting somebody else? Is that necessary?” he asked. The city is planning to spend $3,000 to $5,000 on ‘no smoking’ signs and new “butt mate” ashtrays. The draft report presented to council doesn’t outline any plans on what the signs would look like or where they would be located. Likewise, it doesn’t say how many new “butt mate” ashtrays would be bought and where they would be placed. The proposed fine of up to $200 for contravening the bylaw remains in place. Revelstoke city council was scheduled to review the proposed changes to the bylaw at their July 24 regular meeting.
Capsule Comments With David Lafreniere There has been a lot written about low-dose A.S.A. (Aspirin®) lately. There is evidence it does help people who have had a heart attack but new research has shown it has minimal effect on those with no history of heart disease. A.S.A. is a drug with side effects. Don’t start on this drug without your doctor’s consent. Mosquitos can be a nuisance. Everyone has
their favourite way of discouraging bites. B vitamins (B-1, B-12) don’t work. Wear lightcoloured clothing and use insect repellants containing DEET. Check with our pharmacists for advice. When camping, be cautious drinking water from mountain streams and creeks. Two water-borne parasitic diseases, giardia and cryptosporidiosis are
caused by parasites sometimes found in water in rural areas. To be safe, bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute (3 minutes at altitudes above 2000 metres). Age-related macular degeneration is an eye disease that can affect people above the age of 60 and can lead to retinal damage and blindness. There is evidence that eating foods rich in
omega-3 fatty acids can significantly lower the risk of this disease. Cold water fish like sardines, anchovies, mackerel, herring and salmon are good sources. If you aren’t a fish-eater, capsule supplements are available. Take charge of your own health. Let our pharmacists be part of your health team. We would be happy to be your pharmacist.

Revelstoke affordable housing proposal moves one step closer to CBT funding ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
An affordable rental housing proposal from Revelstoke has moved one step closer to receiving funding from a joint initiative between the Columbia Basin Trust and BC Housing. The Revelstoke Community Housing Society was selected along with groups from Salmo, Fernie and Nelson to move onto the next phase of the Affordable Rental Housing Initiative (ARHI). “It’s pretty exciting we’ve been shortlisted and we’re one step closer to reality,” said Mark McKee, the chair of the Revelstoke Community Housing Society.
Congratulations
CBT and BC Housing have both put forward $5 million towards ARHI, which aims to develop affordable housing throughout the Columbia Basin. The Revelstoke Community Housing Society submitted a proposal for 12 threebedroom townhouses of about 1,100 to 1,200 square-feet in size that will be rented out for about $650 each, said McKee. He said the rental rate is possible due to the potential funding from ARHI and land from the city. “That’s the only way we can make it affordable.” “There is criterion on who it can be rented to. We also have to look at the market place. Rents are slowly coming down and what direction is the community going.
These are questions we have to be answering.” The society must now develop a full response, including business plan, for its proposal. “We now have an opportunity to fine tune our proposal to make sure everything is viable,” said McKee. The final grant decision will not be made until the next phase of the process and the amount of money Revelstoke will receive is still unknown, but McKee sounded positive. “With land being available and we have another project under our belt, that bodes well for us,” he said.

St. Leon Hot Springs development?
So long rabbit ears – hello free satellite? AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
from page 1 “We need to protect our land. We need to protect and maintain the natural environment around us or we’re not going to have any fresh air or water left,” she said. Bryant said she is originally from California and has a degree in Classical music and has spent time as a professional musician and in office settings, saying she’s a “a forest girl stuck in the city.” She said her common-law partner Bill Small has experience with the Vancouver-based B.C. Compassion Club Society, which opened and operated Canada’s first marijuana compassion club. Bryant said several individuals other than herself and her common-law partner were involved. She described them as individuals with law degrees, real estate agents, those interested in the natural environment and natural health sciences. However, she declined to provide the names of those involved. The Registrar of Companies with the Ministry of Citizens’ Services on July 20 confirmed that neither The BC Hot Springs Preservation Society nor the St. Leon Hot Springs Society are registered provincially under the Business Corporations Act, Society Act, Cooperative Association Act, Financial Institutions Act or Partnership Act. What’s most unconventional about the proposal is their means of funding. The property itself is listed for $2.9 million. They hope to raise about $50,000 from pub-
lic donations to get them to their first phase, then an additional $500,000 through operating revenues and additional donations from the public. Bryant said they were also exploring environmental grants and had approached the Columbia Basin Trust for grant funding. The municipally-owned Nakusp Hot Springs has struggled financially for years – including losses – and is for sale. Halcyon Hot Springs and Coyote Hot Springs are just down the highway from St. Leon, and both advertise their healing properties. How can the St. Leon Hot Springs Society start from almost no capital investment and compete with existing facilities? Bryant hopes local residents will rally behind the cause, get involved and donate. What about raising money to preserve the St. Leon Hot Springs in its existing state? Bryant said their vision focuses on a healing retreat and currently those with mobility issues can’t get the benefit of the healing waters. She also stressed the need to act quickly to avert developers from buying the property, which has been on the market for several years. Bryant said they’ve raised $12,600 so far towards their firststage $50,000 goal.
ANOTHER OFFER FOR THE ST. LEON HOT SPRINGS PROPERTY Nakusp-based real estate agent Gord Marshall is representing the
current owner of the property, and has listed the 390-acre property for sale at $2.9 million. He acknowledged discussions with representatives of the St. Leon Hot Springs Society to purchase the hot springs but said it was a preliminary plan. “Nobody’s signed anything yet,” Marshall said, saying the proposal was very complicated. He acknowledged that a developer had expressed interest in a potential development, but said that deal had fallen apart years ago. In around 2009, a business entity had explored the possibility of a development there. Marshall said that was in the heady days of the fledgling Revelstoke Mountain Resort, and the developer was looking to capitalize on resort development in the area. However, a study of the location determined there just wasn’t enough traffic to make the plan viable and the offer was withdrawn. In the latest development, Marshall said the St. Leon Hot Springs Society may have “jumped the gun” in their efforts to raise funds for their vision. Just last week a new buyer has emerged and put in an offer on the hot springs. The new buyer from Calgary is now the frontrunner. Due to confidentiality rules, Marshall wasn’t able to disclose who the potential buyer is. We asked if Marshall could pass on a request to contact the Times Review, but we didn’t receive a reply by our press time a few days later.
The few holdouts who watch CBC TV via bunny ears will bid farewell to Peter Mansbridge, Coronation Street and Don Cherry on July 31.

The CBC is ending its free analog broadcast to Revelstoke and many rural markets across B.C. and Canada on that date. A CBC spokesperson told the Times Review only two per cent of viewers use the old technology and it was too costly to justify. The impending cancellation has been known for some time and was hastened by recent budget cuts to the CBC by the Harper Conservative government. A lesser-known fact is a government regulator has ordered digital television provider Shaw Direct to provide a remedy for free-to-air users. We’ll spare you all the unnecessary details on how regula-
tory bodies arrived at this decision. Here are the key details: Shaw Direct has a one-off, $15-million fund and will install a free satellite receiver at the home of displaced analog users in rural who qualify for the program. Once installed, you’ll receive eight free digital satellite channels. They are CBC Vancouver, CBC Yellowknife, CBC French language, CTV Vancouver, City TV Vancouver, CTV2 Vancouver Island, Global TV BC and CHEK Victoria. Too good to be true? The Times Review called the hotline and confirmed the Revelstoke postal code is eligible. There are restrictions. You have to have been an analog user. You or your household can’t have had cable or satellite at your address in the past 90 days. And there are some technical requirements for your TV. The program is first-come, first-served until the $15 million runs out, and the final deadline is November 30, 2012. To apply for the program, call 1-888782-7602.

Magnesium helps to relax muscles and nerves, and allows blood to flow freely. Some possible benefits include, more energy during the day, and more restful sleeps at night. More specifically, customers have found relief taking magnesium

Omega 3’s are essential fatty acids for the body, and one of the many benefits includes helping the body to cope with stress. Stress and anxiety can cause inflammation. Omega 3’s have antiinflammatory properties to help muscles to recover, and allow joints improved range of motion. B Vitamins are helpful when dealing with all
kinds of stress, especially as we age! Whether you’re dealing with emotional stress, trauma, sickness, recovering from surgery, pregnant or breast feeding your body requires more B Vitamins. People can purchase a multi vitamin or a B Complex that contain all the B vitamins; or you can add additional amounts of one or two B Vitamins individually depending on your needs. As always, check with your health professional and/or pharmacist first before trying something new. We want to work with you so we can make sure the choices you make are best suited for you and your good health. Live well, eat well, and be well, with Pharmasave.

It’s time to sort out what ‘green’ really means
COMMUNITY COMMENT BY SUE DAVIES
So, have you heard about greenwashing? What is greenwashing, you might ask? Greenwashing is an attempt to paint an environmentally friendly-looking veneer on a product, service, or corporation. The word ‘green’ is used mostly to evoke the idea of environmental sustainability. Revelstoke is full of people who are focused on ‘green’ ideals, and many of these environmentally savvy consumers make purchasing decisions based, at least in part, on whether a product is environmentally sustainable. Manufacturers on the other hand are generally focused on selling their product and making a profit. In consequence, many manufacturers make their products look ‘green’ without actually going to the expense of making their product environmentally sustainable. You might think that it is easy to spot whether a product is actually ‘green’ or just greenwashed, but it can be surprisingly difficult. Take for instance a household cleaner bought in a local store. The front label is green in colour, with some flowers on it, and declares in big, bold letters that it is ‘100% Natural.’ But what does this word ‘natural’ really mean? Arsenic is natural. So are cyanide, mercury, and formaldehyde. All are also extremely hazardous to your health. I’m not saying that your average cleaner is laced with cyanide, but if that package does not have a full ingredient list on it, who knows what’s inside it? Canada’s labeling laws state that a full ingredient list is required for any packaged food, but not for cleaning products. So, you may know what is in your food, but
not necessarily what is on your plate. Greenwashing comes in many forms. It can be vagueness of the message, such as using the word ‘Natural.’ Another form is the hidden trade-off. A good example of a hidden tradeoff is where a paper manufacturer emphasizes the fact that the wood fiber comes from a sustainably harvested forest, but does not mention that the manufacturing process produces large amounts of greenhouse gasses and uses toxic chlorine bleach. Outright lying also plays a role in greenwashing. In many cases, totally false claims are made on labels. Lies in labeling often employ either no certifying logo, or fake logos, which resemble the logos of real certifying organisations, but are not backed up by any testing for sustainable practices or ingredients. If the certifying logo is not familiar, find out if it is real. A great resource for identifying real versus fake logos can be found at sinsofgreenwashing.org. You can even take a short quiz to see just how greenwashing-savvy you have become.
Currently greenwashing is most prevalent in cleaning products, cosmetics, and products destined for use by children. Take for example yet another greenwashing technique – lack of proof. Many plastic products these days are labeled ‘BPA free’. BPA (bisphenol-A) is a chemical that can mimic human hormones and is linked to cancer and infertility. It used to be common in plastic baby bottles but now most brands advertise themselves as ‘BPA free’. However, many of the products now claiming to be BPA free, don’t actually provide any independent proof, which means that we, the consumers, are simply asked to believe the profit driven manufacturer. So, greenwashing comes in many forms and it takes some knowledge to identify whether a product is truly green or not. Think carefully about the products you buy and the companies you support; read ingredient lists, and don’t believe every flashy ‘green’ label you see! Sue Davies writes for the North Columbia Environmental Society.
A City Furniture charity golf tournament that brought representatives of the company fro around B.C. to the Revelstoke Golf Club raised $3,000 for the Mount Cartier Court care facilty. Revelstoke City Furniture’s Dimpy Sanghera said the organization selected the organization for its worthy efforts. “I had a chance to get to know folks from Mt Cartier Court and they always have to depend on grants to support the facility,” she said. “We wanted to contribute something toward whatever they need at the facility ... [things] they can use for the folk that are staying there.” From left: Revelstoke City Furniture owners Jag Sanghera and Dave Kandola; Dimpy Sanghera; Mount Cartier Court Activities Department representative Anne Keller; City Furniture founders Ray Kandola, Ted Sandhu and Ruby Sharma.

What's Up with Rotary Revelstoke Rotary Club
In an effort to keep the community up to date with what's happening with the Revelstoke Rotary Club, we are dusting off our “This Is Rotary” columns that were contributed by past member Jason Keerak. Summer is upon us, and the Revelstoke Rotary Club has already had a busy 2012. Our hope is that over the coming months we can bring you up to speed with some interesting stories about your local Rotary Club, and our activities here in Revelstoke and abroad. To give you an idea of what the Revelstoke Rotary Club is about, our club's activities are focused on: • Local community projects to enhance the quality of life here in Revelstoke. At our latest “Rotarian at Work” day, a dozen or so Rotarians spent the morning building several new garden planters for the residents of Mount Begbie Manor. We've also “adopted” Williamson Lake for future projects, and will be working with the City of Revelstoke to decide on future improvements that best align with the Official Community Plan. • International projects. A cornerstone of Rotary is international development projects, and as a club, we've chosen to dedicate our international efforts to supporting clean drinking water. Through our ties to a recent Thai exchange student, Ant Willaingam, we lent a hand to the Magkang, Thailand Rotary club to install fresh water wells for two schools in Thailand. Our financial support was leveraged with the help of matching grants from Rotary International. • Fundraising to support worthwhile causes. We raise funds in the community to support local
causes, such as the Food Bank and student scholarships, but also to support organizations that benefit the province as a whole. You've probably noticed our annual raffle draw (by the way, this year, it's a Harley...) at the local Chevron. Attend any wedding or community gathering in Revelstoke and you're likely to see one of our tents emblazoned with the Rotary Wheel; these are rented out, with all dollars raised going to support worthwhile causes. Recently, the Club donated an older tent to be auctioned off by Ritchie Brothers in Chilliwack, with the proceeds being donated to the BC Children's Hospital. • Student Exchange. The club has just completed yet another successful Youth Exchange, hosting our exchange student Nicholas, from Belgium for the 2011/2012 school year. Revelstoke Rotarians, as well as other families in the community, host inbound students from around the world. We also have the opportunity to sponsor students from Revelstoke and the region, who are strong ambassadors and have demonstrated leadership qualities. In August, we look forward to sending off Aleen Van der Meer, of Armstrong, as she travels to spend the school year in Brazil. Rotary is all about getting to know your neighbors, having the opportunity to “get your hands dirty”, and have a positive impact on your community. Revelstoke Rotary Club meets at noon each Thursday in the Begbie Room at the Regent Inn. If you're interested in community service and learning what Rotary is all about, guests are welcome. You can contact any club member, or membership chair Randy Driediger at 250-837-6291.

What to do about landslides, floods and ‘gulley-washers’ Boston Pizza eyes Revelstoke Crossing location, seeks talent
REVELSTOKE AREA EMERGENCY COORDINATOR SAYS LEARN THE SIGNS OF DANGER AND CALL 911 WHEN YOU SEE THEM AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
A breakdown in communication is thought to have contributed to fatalities at the recent Johnsons Landing landslide near Kaslo. An email was sent to a Ministry of Forests official about an erratic creek, but was not received until after the slide. We contacted Revelstoke & Area Emergency Services Coordinator Jerry Silva to find out what you should do if you suspect a geotechnical hazard. The second step is easy – call 911 – to notify the appropriate emergency officials immediately. The first step is to know the signs, which are usually a combination of things. The wet spring season is the most hazardous as soils absorb runoff. Sudden hot weather or sudden heavy rains compound the situation and elevate risks.
Silva says residents should look out for changes in runoff in creeks and rivers, such as muddy water, erratic changes to creek levels, stones, sticks and other debris moving through the creek; and abnormal cessation of flow and noises. “Every creek has an element of risk to it,” Silva told the Times Review, adding it is often low. “There’s always a remote possibility.” Silva said there aren’t any areas in Revelstoke and area that have been identified as particular risks for catastrophic slides like in Johnsons Landing. Their concerns now are a bit more slow-paced. The Columbia River is above full pond and is now causing some minor creeping flooding, like at the edges of the Revelstoke Golf Course. Likewise, the high Arrow Reservoir levels are backing up the Illecillewaet River and could start to flood some

basements. As of July 22 the reservoir was at 1,445.3 feet (1.3 feet above full pool of 1,444 feet). It’s expected to rise to a level of up to 1,446 feet, and could potentially hit 1,447 feet if a “significant and unexpected weather system or event occurs” said BC Hydro spokesperson Jennifer Walker-Larsen. Silva that Revelstoke has
been fortunate to avoid the eye of the storms that have flooded Sicamous and other Kootenay communities this season. He notes a new wet system is rolling into the Revelstoke area this week. “The likelihood of flash floods, they can always happen,” he said. “Hopefully over this duration this won’t happen.”
Boston Pizza wants a slice of the Revelstoke restaurant pie. An advertisement in the July 18 Times Review sought local interest in franchise opportunities in Revelstoke, so we contacted them to learn about their plans. Boston Pizza Real Estate Development Manager Brian Novosel says the franchise has been interested in Revelstoke for some time and is “testing the market to see what kind of interest there is” amongst potential local franchisees. “To be in Revelstoke we pretty much have to be on the highway,” Novosel explained, saying their plan was to locate at the new Revelstoke Crossing hotel and restaurant development planned for the intersection of Highway 23 North and the Trans-Canada Highway. Why Revelstoke, why now? Novosel said the company considers many criteria including traffic counts and population, but there is also “an element of gut instinct.” RCMP officer Jim Treliving (of CBC’s Dragon’s Den fame) became a Boston Pizza franchisee in 1968 when he opened his first restaurant in Penticton. He eventually purchased the rights to the entire chain and has grown it to over 340 locations in Canada and more in the U.S. and Mexico. “We’re still very early days in the whole process but we want to be there,” Novosel said. “We’re just seeing who could come to the table.” He expects it could take about two years before they open. If a Revelstoke-based franchisee isn’t available, Novosel said they could look to existing franchisees in nearby markets.

The successful individual will possess excellent communication skills and will be able to effectively liaise with and coordinate stakeholders in carrying out the Emergency Response and Recovery Plan. Having local knowledge coupled with previous experience and knowledge in Emergency Management, Incident Command Systems and the British Columbia Emergency Response Management System would be an advantage. Proposals should, at a minimum, meet the requirements set out in the RFP information package and detail relevant experience. The city wishes to thank all those who respond; however, only those applicants selected for an interview will be contacted. Sealed proposals to be submitted to Rob Girard, Fire Chief, City of Revelstoke, PO Box 170, Revelstoke, BC, V0E 2S0 no later than 4:00pm, on Monday, August 20, 2012.

Derailers steamroll Pistoleras in roller derby rematch ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
If the Revelstoke Derailers were looking to revenge their loss to the Penticton Pistoleras in May, they got it Saturday night -- and then some. The Derailers defeated the Pistoleras 240-79 in a game that saw Revelstoke jump out to a big lead early and never look back. “We had a really good game,” said Derailers blocker and team captain Stephanie ‘Pownder Puff’ Ells. “We really honed our strategy. We came together as a team and used everything we’ve been working on in practice.” Once again, a large crowd packed the Revelstoke Forum to watch the bout and to enjoy the atmosphere. On the track, the game started slow, with both teams feeling each other out for the first few jams. It was a power jam by Janice ‘Tank’ Jacob a little more than 10 minutes into the first half that blew the game open for Revelstoke. With the Pistoleras jammer (the player that scores points) sitting in the penalty box, Tank flew around the track, racking up the points and turning the score from 22-14 to a 47-14 blowout. After that, Revelstoke never looked back. At the 14 minute mark it was 68-18 and by the end of the half Revelstoke was up 123-37. The last time the two teams met in Penticton Revelstoke let a second half lead slip away and lost 189156. This time, there would be no letting up. As the second half went on the Pistoleras - playing with only 10 skaters to the Derailers 14 - were visibly fatigued. A power jam by Stephanie ‘AKilla the Honey’ Noel added to Revelstoke’s lead and ten minutes into the half the score was 189-48. The match finished with the Derailers celebrating a convincing 240-79 win. “We’re surprised we won by so much,” said Ells. “It shows the hard work, the long hours, three practices per week - it’s tough but it paid off.” She credited the Revelstoke jammers with strong play and the help of coach Bradley ‘Lime’ Foote, who they brought in for the match, for the win but did acknowledge the numbers advantage made a difference. “They brought their strongest players with them,” she said. “In any roller derby game, going with a short bench makes a difference.” The bout was the Derailer’s last home match of the year. The team is also looking for a practice space to use after the ice goes in at the arena next month.

Aquaducks survive ‘Challenge Week’; get ready for regionals Contributed by Revelstoke Aquaducks The Aquaduck’s final regular season swim meet took place in Salmon Arm this past weekend, with 41 Revelstoke swimmers competing. “Challenge week,” the Aquaducks peak training week, wrapped up the day prior to the competition and many swimmers were “swimming heavy” as Head Coach Jeff Beatty put it. With morning jogs, zumba, hikes, a triathalon and a special day with four swimming sessions, Challenge Week had many swimmers fighting to swim personal bests. “We were close to best times in general,” said Beatty, “Considering that we beat ourselves up last week, we are holding our own”. In team results, Revelstoke placed third behind Kelowna and last year’s regional champions Salmon Arm. Aggregate medals, given to swim-
mers who obtain the most points in their age division, were won by Alex Jay, Beth Granstrom, James Lebuke, Gina Cinelli, Emily Pfeiffer and Cynthia Pfeiffer. James broke meet records for the Division 2 Boys 50m and 100m Freestyle. Coach Beatty is looking forward to the Aquaducks performance at the regional championships in Kamloops from August 4-5. “We are bigger and stronger than ever,” he said of the club. “Two days of competing outdoors in the August sunshine in Kamloops will be tough but all the hard work this season, including Challenge Week, will pay off.” The top three swimmers in each event at regionals qualify for the provincial championships in Nanaimo in mid-August. “We’re looking to send a large number swimmers’s to Naniamo” said assistant coach Cynthia Pfeiffer.

15-year-old RSS student Chris Andrews takes gold in hammer throw, silver in shot put ALEX COOPER Times Review
BRETT BONDERUD Black Press
Chris Andrews has another two medals to add to his trophy case after taking home gold medal in hammer throw and silver in shot put at the BC Summer Games in Surrey last weekend. For Andrews, 15, the results bring his medal total since he started competing in grade six to 42 gold, 27 silver and three bronze. This year has been one the best yet for the 6’5” thrower. In June he brought home gold and bronze medals from the provincial high school championships. At the BC Athletics Provincial Championships he won gold in the hammer throw and shot put and bronze in discus. His results in the first two events qualified him to travel with Team BC to the nationals in Prince Edward Island in August. To get this far, Andrews trained several times per wek with the Revelstoke Secondary SchoolTrack & Field team. In June, his father Ian took over coaching duties and he began training three times per day. “He’s worked hard and he puts a lot of dedication in,” said Andrews’s mother, Candy. Chris’s grandfather was in the submarine service and his father

and uncle served in the military. Chris said he is considering a future in the military, as well. He wants to combine law and the military by either joining the military police or the Canadian military equivalent of the judge advocate general’s office. But for now, sport is his passion. “My highest achievement is to become a pro athlete,” he said. Andrews also played on the
RSS volleyball and basketball teams. He said he will keep playing volleyball but is considering giving up basketball to focus on training for track and field. “I feel that I have more potential in track than I do in volleyball,” Chris said. Wherever Chris goes, his family said they will be right there with him. “We’re there to support him all the way,” Candy said.

What started as a trial in Revelstoke in January has turned into reality with the announcement of the merger of the Freeski and Freeride World Tours Thursday morning. The tour, officially dubbed the Swatch Freeride World Tour by North Face, will include both skiing and snowboarding events and will launch in Revelstoke from Jan. 7-12, 2013.
Other competitions will be held in Chamonix, France; Kirkwood, USA; Fieberbrunn PillerseeTal, Austria; and Verbier, Switzerland; with one stop still to be confirmed. “The union of the three tours is a major step in the sport’s growth,” said Nicolas Hale-Woods, Freeride World Tour’s Managing Director for Europe. Drew Tabke, who finished third at last year’s Revelstoke event, said he was excited to see the top athletes compete against
each other on one tour. “The best event last year was the combined event at Revelstoke,” he said. “This event represented the ideal outcome of this merger of the two tours—a legitimate representation of the world’s best riders competing on a worldclass venue.” The Revelstoke event was praised last year for the level of competition and the huge venue on the backside of Mount Mackenzie. Kevin Manuel, the resort’s marketing manager, said the event resulted in a “huge buzz around the resort with such skilled athletes in-house, all pumped about the incredible terrain our mountain offered and the high calibre of the venue itself.” He said the involvement of both tours last year helped increase RMR’s exposure in Europe. The 2012 tour stop was the final year of a three-year agreement to host the event and Manuel said that RMR and it’s local partners, the Revelstoke Accommodation Association, said it was worth continuing. “There is no doubt that this event represents some core beliefs in the sport of both freeskiing and freeriding that Revelstoke Mountain Resort has always embodied,” he said. “We are thrilled to continue support of the event and see it develop and grow on an international stage.” The merger will also see a series of about 50 qualifying events set up around the world, ranging from one to four stars. The top point earners from the four-star events will qualify for the following year’s Freeski World Tour. 33 men and 12 women are pre-qualified for this year’s skiing tour, while 14 men and seven women are pre-qualified for the snowboarding events.

It’s almost cliche to say how much Canadians love hockey. For thousands of youth, the dream is to make to the National Hockey League and win the Stanley Cup. When Cory Cameron realized he didn’t have the hockey skills to reach that level, he went the route of working as a trainer. “When I realized my athletic abilities weren’t going to take me anywhere in my life I decided to start studying and look into how I could get into athletics and high level sports in other ways,” the Revelstoke native said. “This is a field I found and focused on since high school.”
the WHL. “It was quick for me. A lot of people work at the Junior A level for a long time before they get the opportunity,” he said. “It just happened I was working with some of the right people and things fell into place and I got that position with the Hitmen when I was still in school.” After graduation from university in 2006 and completing an advanced diploma in athletic therapy at Mount Royal College, Cameron became the trainer for the Vancouver Giants, where he helped the team win the Memorial Cup in 2007. He called the win one of the best experiences of his life.

In Memoriam
In loving memory of
Shirley Gilbert
our dear Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother, who was taken from us suddenly July 19th, 2000 It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day God took you home. A million times we’ll miss you, A million times we’ll cry… If love could have saved you, You never would have died. Now to your grave we travel, The flowers are placed with care, No one knows the heartache, As we turn and leave you there. No farewells were spoken, No time to say goodbye, You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why. If tears could build a stairway, And heartaches make a lane, We’d walk a path to Heaven, And bring you back again. In loving memory and very sadly missed by your family who loved you so very much. Daughter Barbara; Son-in-law Gary and all your Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren.

Obituaries Barbara Doria Russell Humphreys (nee Denison) Oct. 11, 1927 – July 12, 2012
After a long illness Barb died at the Queen Victoria Hospital in Revelstoke with her family at her side. She is survived by her sister Nora Stewart of Vernon; her children: Greg & Leah (Vernon), Carole & Oscar (Revelstoke), Garth & Margo (Summerland) and Lee & Ornella (Revelstoke); her grandchildren: Ben & Anne, Cara & Mark, Jesse & Erin, Caitlin & Neil and Sophia; her great grandchildren: Tanner, Tuula, Marley and Cale and; her beloved nieces and nephews. Born in Vernon, Barb studied nursing in Kamloops, married and moved to Revelstoke where she raised her 4 children and was “adopted mother” to Bev. Never one to sit back Barb always volunteered her time and many talents to the community from Hospital Auxiliary to President of the BC Lung Association. She was hardworking, full of energy, compassionate and willing to stand up for what she believed was right. Barbara made lasting friends wherever she went, the list of younger women who called her their adopted mom is long as is the list of people who called her friend. She loved to golf, play bridge, crib & mahjong. She made us laugh right to the end and we will forever miss her. The family would like to thank Dr. Neil Leslie and the staff at Queen Victoria Hospital in Revelstoke with a special thanks to the angels in Palliative Care, we so appreciated the many kindnesses shown to mom. Thanks also to Dr. Bannerman and the staff at Penticton Regional Hospital with special thanks to the nurses and physiotherapists in the Rehab Department. A memorial gathering will be held at the Summerland Funeral Chapel on Wednesday, July 25th, 2012 at 2pm at 13205 Rosedale Avenue, Summerland, BC. In lieu of Àowers donations can be made in Barbara’s memory to the BC Lung Association www.bc.lung.ca. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com.

“I look back on it and cherish every moment of it – the long bus rides and all that kind of stuff. It all pays off in the end.” As a therapist, Cameron looks after everything from training regimens to dealing with injuries on the ice. Those can range from small cuts to broken bones and concussions. It means his work is a constant challenge that changes every day. “It keeps you fresh – you have to be prepared for anything at any time,” he said. “I’m always tapping into my knowledge and trying to learn new things. “The day-to-day activities are usually pretty mild when you look at it,” he added. “But you have to be prepared for anything emergency wise. You can have a kid go into cardiac arrest on the ice so you have to be prepared to deal with that.” Last year Cameron was hired as the trainer for the Kootenay Ice in Cranbrook. When he’s not working with junior teams, he works with Crash Conditioning, which trains high level athletes from teenages to NHLers like Jordan Eberle and Mike Green. He hopes the position with Team Canada will boost his stock further and help him with his dream of making it to the NHL. “I want to work at the highest level with the best athletes and that’s the National Hockey League,” he said. “And hopefully bring a Stanley Cup back to Revelstoke some day.” This Monday, July 30, Cameron will be at the Pharmasave in Revelstoke to give a free clinic to students, parents and teachers in all sports. The topics covered will include injury maintenance and prevention, warm ups, concussion awareness and more. “[Pharmasave owner] Steven [Hui] reached out to me in sports medicine field to talk about what I do, provide the people with education and promote their store,” said Cameron. “We’re trying to bring in coaches and parents and give them information.” After that he’ll be off to Ontario for the under18 training camp and then to Europe for the tournament. “At the end of the day not a lot of people would complain about going to work and standing on the bench for a high level of hockey game every night. It’s the best seat in the house.” The Pharmasave Coaches Clinic with Cory Cameron takes place on Monday, July 30, from 7-8 p.m. at the Revelstoke Pharmasave.

Five honoured with Diamond Jubilee medals for community work ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Five Revelstokians were honoured for their service to the community as the Revelstoke Museum & Archives celebrated the 60th anniversary of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II on Saturday. Dr. Geoff Battersby, Helen Grace, Steven Hui, David Johnson and Wally Mohn were awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medals at the ceremony outside the museum. Mayor David Raven read out the reason each was honoured as they were handed their medals by Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks. Battersby was honoured for his service as a director with the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District, his nine years as mayor, his role in the formation of the Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation and his guidance in helping the city through many transitions. Grace received the award for her many years of work with a number of community groups. As Raven said, she has been the secretary-treasurer of almost every community group in Revelstoke at one point or another. Hui was recognized for his work with Rotary and the Community Foundation. Raven also cited all the behind-the-scenes
work he does that goes unrecognized. Johnson, who passed away earlier this year, was recognized for his work as chair of the Revelstoke Community Energy Corporation, efforts with the Revelstoke Railway Museum and his service to the Anglican Church. His wife Edna-Mae accepted the award on his behalf. Mohn was honoured for his 30 years as an RCMP officer, as well as his role in establishing Revelstoke Search & Rescue as one of the leaders in the province. The ceremony began with the singing of O Canada and God Save the Queen. MC Graham Harper then read out some littleknown facts about Queen Elizabeth II, such as she doesn’t need a drivers license to get behind the wheel. Cathy English, the curator of the Revelstoke Museum, was joined by Helen Grace for a mock interview about the numerous royal visits to Revelstoke. Grace, who was dressed in her best Queen Elizabeth II costume, played the role of the monarch, relating stories of her and her family’s visits to Revelstoke. Afterwards there was cake, music and more. View the slideshow above for photos from the ceremony.

Seanan Sharpe of the Revelstoke RCMP, MP David Wilks, Diamond Jubilee medal recipients Wally Mohn, Helen Grace, Geoff Battersby, Edna-Mae Johnson (on behalf of her late husband David), and Steven Hui; and Mayor David Raven.; Left: Helen Grace (left), playing the role of Queen Elizabeth II, and Cathy English recap the history of royal visits to Revelstoke.
