Revelstoke ATV Club plans motorized trail to Arrowhead AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Revelstoke ATV Club is applying to build a three-kilometre long trail that will connect the ghost town of Arrowhead with a nearby forest service road, allowing for motorized access to the site. Arrowhead is located across from Shelter Bay on the Arrow Lake Reservoir and is currently only accessible by boat or backcountry trek. The completion of the Hugh Keeleyside Dam in the late 1960s flooded out most of the historic mining and forestry town, though it had been in decline for some time after a railway connecting it to Revelstoke was decommissioned. The former town-site contains
ruins, heritage plants leftover from gardens and a significant historic cemetery. Revelstoke ATV Club president Tom Kohlman submitted an application for the new trail in early 2012. The plan calls for the trail to be linked to a nearby forestry road. Parking areas will be located at both ends of the trail, which will be gated at the forestry road. The parking area at the Arrowhead end will be located some distance from the townsite itself. The plan is to have the gate locked except for special events sanctioned by the Revelstoke ATV Club. The proposal calls for a trail that will allow ATV access but not access for larger vehicles. Non-motorized use will be permitted at all times.
Kohlman was not available for a direct interview, but responded to questions about the proposal via email. He said the trail will improve access to the historic site. “We see the trail having the ability to remove the accessibility barriers for those individuals wishing to visit their loved ones in the Arrowhead cemetery, who would otherwise only be able to visit by way of boat on the Arrow Lake,” Kohlman wrote. “It also removes accessibility barriers for disabled or elderly individuals. We see the trail as an opportunity to enhance public awareness, interest, understanding and appreciation of our provinces’ past.” Kohlman said the trail is intended for uses such as hiking, biking, research, horseback riding and ATV-

ing. “It is not intended as an ATV destination; it is there for all to enjoy,” he said in a statement. “We anticipate its main usage will be for local[s] and local connections to Arrowhead.” If approved, the club is targeting completion of the trail by 2013. Kohlman said the Revelstoke ATV Club was planning to use in-kind labour and donations as well as grants to complete the work. Province of B.C. Recreation Officer Ken Gibson said he’s nearing a decision on the application. The project is a ‘Section 57’ application under the provincial forestry act, used for public projects such as mountain bike trails. The process does not involve a public review. “If we did this for every application we wouldn’t get anywhere,”
Gibson told the Times Review. Stakeholders are being consulted, Gibson said, including the Arrowhead Conservation Society. The conservation society is seeking to maintain the heritage of the ghost town and has conducted surveys and other research in recent years. The Times Review spoke with a member of the ACS, but he wasn’t available for comment by press time. Kohlman said the ATV club would work with the conservation society on the trail project. The ATV club application calls for consultation with the conservation group only after the project is approved — although the provincial referral process has already alerted

Shelter Bay Lands OCP amendment gets 1st, 2nd readings ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
The development of Shelter Bay Lands south of Revelstoke has begun in earnest with the introduction of an Official Community Plan amendment to the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District last Thursday. The board of the CSRD gave first and second reading to the amendment, which would create a new section of the OCP that would allow for the large development being proposed by Ender Ilkay, the Vancouver-based developer that owns the property. He is looking to build a 767-residential-unit development that would also include commercial uses like a marina, lodge, restaurant, spa, general store and more. The development would also feature a comprehensive trail network throughout the 2,18 hectare property. Currently the OCP only allows for a minimum lot size of 10 acres. The amendment would change that to allow for smaller lot sizes, but only in the Shelter Bay Lands. The OCP amendment bylaw will now be referred to a number of outside agencies for feedback before going to public hearing.

New airport NAV system to be approved next month ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Regular scheduled commercial flights could be coming to Revelstoke once a new flight system is approved next month, says the manager of the airport. NAV Canada is expected to sign off on the new NAV system for the Revelstoke Airport on Sept. 20. Once installed, it means that pilots will be able to land their planes using instrumentation, instead of solely by sight. “It means planes that are above clouds will have a procedure to come down to a certain height,” said airport manager Ed Wozniak. “It’s a small step towards a possible scheduled service.” As it is, the narrow valley combined with frequent cloud cover makes landing at the airport challenging on many days. The NAV system would guide planes down to an elevation of about 750 metres, which is about 300 metres above the elevation of the airport. From that point, pilots would have to land by sight. Currently the Revelstoke
A new NAV system at the Revelstoke Airport will make landing much easier, and potentially allow for regular commercial service to Revelstoke. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review
Airport is used mostly by small prop planes. Several commercial airlines attempted regular service to Revelstoke but with little success. Small passenger planes, like a Bombardier Dash-8 are capable of landing at the airport.
Rod Kessler, the Chief Operating Officer of Revelstoke Mountain Resort, said there have been talks about renewed commercial service to Revelstoke. “There’s been interest from several different carriers to get scheduled flights,” he said without naming
names. “Everyone’s most anxious to revive flights back into Revelstoke.”
NEW SIGNS ON FLATS TO WARN OF RUNWAY
around the Revelstoke airport instead of a fence, the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District decided on Thursday. The board of the CSRD agreed to a new airport security policy that will see signs posted along the west and south sides of the runway that will alert people recreating on the Flats of the active runway. In the spring the district announced plans to install a fence blocking off access to the lands around the airport. A huge outcry opposing the fence led the district to alter its plans. The new security plan will also see information posted to the Canada Flight Supplement warning pilots of the unfenced runway and the potential for contact with people and animals on the runway. The airport will also look at installing a perimeter fence around the runway at the cost of $100,000, if the capital budget permits. Airport manager Ed Wozniak said they will see if the signage addresses security concerns. “Hopefully it does and we don’t have to go any further.”

Council doesn’t support Bell purchase of EZ Rock Councillor says increased centralization of media company is bad news for smaller markets like Revelstoke AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
A few years ago, you could have watched the council debate on the local cable channel, or heard about it from the Revelstoke EZ Rock radio reporter. Neither cover city council meetings anymore — and that’s the point, said city councillors. At their Aug. 14 meeting, city council gave the thumbs down to a written request from Astral Radio morning host Jeff M. Reisen for
support for Bell Canada’s purchase of Astral Media. Bell Canada proposed a $3.4billion purchase of the Montrealbased Astral Media in March. The purchase includes 24 TV channels and 84 radio stations across the country — including Revelstoke’s EZ Rock. Competitors and other opponents of media ownership concentration have decried the purchase and asked the CRTC to intervene. Revelstoke city council’s concerns were more local.
Arrow Heights dog attack Times Review staff A Revelstoke man was attacked by a dog while walking along Aspen Crescent in Arrow Heights during the dinner hour on Aug. 15. Alan MacLeod told the Times Review he was out for a walk when a black pit bull terrier–cross dog confronted him with a growl. MacLeod said he commanded the dog with a call of “down,” but to no avail. The dog charged onto the street and bit his right arm. MacLeod managed to pull his arm away, but the dog then went for his left hand, biting his knuckle. MacLeod, a runner, said he’s had many scrapes with dogs while running, but this was his first bite. He was “frozen with fear” and called out for help. The owner came out from a garage at the home and called the dog off. “He was quite apologetic about it,” MacLeod said. The owner invited the man in to help wash off the blood – but MacLeod declined because he was only a few blocks from home. The bite didn’t require any stitches, but MacLeod did get a tetanus shot.
MacLeod said his concern was for others’ safety. “This is a neighbourhood with children,” he said. What does Macleod think should be done? “I have my thoughts about it, but the animal control officer said at least the dog should be muzzled,” he said. “I’ll be quite wary of it.” Revelstoke RCMP spokesperson Staff-Sgt. Jacquie Olsen confirmed RCMP had responded to a complaint and had referred the matter to animal control. The Times Review contacted Revelstoke Animal Control Services about the incident. The officer that answered the phone declined to provide his full name. He confirmed RCMP attended the incident and that animal control had followed up the next morning. He said the dog involved in the incident had not been impounded and was under the control of the owner. Staff-Sgt. Olsen said RCMP and animal control are continuing to investigate. The Times Review spoke with the dog’s owner, who said they’d visit our office before press time, but they didn’t.
City councillor and former radio jock Steve Bender said the takeover was not good news for smaller markets like Revelstoke. “It is just not of any kind of potential advantage or any kind of real advantage ... if they reflected their local markets more, especially markets our size,” Bender said. “And a big consolidation like this, that all totally goes out the window, and it has for the last 20 to 25 years. So I can’t support it.” Coun. Chris Johnston said the takeover amounted to “a growing
conservation society members to the application. “We are certainly are sensitive to the same concerns and will take every measure possible to eliminate any issues surrounding negative effects,” Kohlman said in a statement. “The Revelstoke ATV Club will work very closely with the Arrowhead Conservation Society to advocate for the protection and enhancement of the lands in and around the historic town site and its cemetery.” Motorized access to Arrowhead caused significant local controversy in the past. Seasonal access was possible via the Columbia Flats, but was blocked off by landowners who sought to limit motorized travel across their property. This proposal takes a different route.
Queen Victoria Hospital cornerstone centennial
This image portrays the laying of the cornerstone of Queen Victoria Hospital on August 21, 1912. The hospital, located on the current site of the Alpine Village Mall, was built by local contractor O.W. Abrahamson. It replaced an earlier wood frame hospital, known as Queen Victoria Cottage Hospital. A brick annex was added to the original hospital in 1910, and the new 1912 construction incorporated the annex. The current Queen Victoria Hospital opened in 1970 and the old brick building was demolished in 1972. A ceremony was held on Aug. 21, 2012 at Queen Victoria Hospital to celebrate the centennial — after our press time. Check online at www.revelstoketimesreview.com for more from the ceremony.

monopoly” for Bell: “I don’t know if that’s right or not, but that’s what I see.” Coun. Phil Welock likened the change to a buyout of Revelstoke Cable a couple years ago by a Saskatoon-based cable and internet provider YourLink Inc. “Things got worse then, so I think the same thing can happen here with this,” Welock said. Council voted unanimously against writing a letter to support the buyout.

Capsule Comments With David Lafreniere There are hundreds of thousands of “apps”, programs for smart phones and electronic tablets. There is even one available for gambling addicts. Gambling addiction is a mental health problem and only 10% of those with a gambling problem seek help. The app is called Mobile Monitor Your Gambling and Urges (MYGU) and is downloadable for free from iTunes.
The drug ecstasy is an illegal recreational drug used by some young people. Even one or two doses of this drug can result in long-term sleep problems. Over 70% of users report having disturbed sleep because the drug, being a stimulant, resets the body’s clock which often resets at the wrong time. Mood disorders can also occur. Many of the drugs we
use today originated from nature. It’s always interesting when a common product like thyme, formulated into a tincture, is found to have antibacterial effects that may make it useful in treating acne. It’s far from being available on our shelves for that purpose but it does show promise. Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since the discovery of penicillin
in the 1940s. In 1900, the three main causes of death were tuberculosis, pneumonia and enteritis (intestinal infections). Antibiotics have reduced the threat of these medical problems immensely. When you receive an antibiotic prescription, our pharmacists will ensure you know how to make it work best for you. We help you understand how it works for you.

Alleged drug trafficker nabbed in Penticton has Revelstoke connection RCMP SAY MAN APPREHENDED WITH STOLEN FORD F-250 AND SNOWMOBILE IN PENTICTON JOE FRIES Black Press
A 24-year-old man with a lengthy, violent criminal record has been tagged with two additional offences to go with another count related to drug trafficking. Ryan Luscombe was arrested Tuesday, Aug. 14, in the rural area near Marron Valley Road south of Penticton. Mounties allege he was found with an unspecified amount of crystal meth and associated trafficking paraphernalia. It’s also alleged he was in possession of a stolen snowmobile and Ford
F-250 pickup truck that were taken from a Penticton car dealership. Luscombe has since been charged with two counts of possession of stolen property over $5,000, in addition to possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. A woman with whom he was found Tuesday was released without charges. In a press release issued this week, the Penticton RCMP Drug Task Force noted Luscombe had 32 prior convictions and was on probation for an offence in Revelstoke. Luscombe was sentenced in
Revelstoke Provincial Court on Nov. 2, 2011, to six months in jail for two counts of assault, uttering threats and forcible confinement related to attacks on his former girlfriend. The unidentified woman testified the pair had a stormy relationship that culminated the previous fall when Luscombe strangled her and told her, ‘That’s it, you’re going to die bitch. This is it.” Luscombe received credit for 127 days’ time served, which left him only 53 days to go. He was also sentenced to two years’ probation, a condition of which

Police are on the hunt for a male suspect after the Grizzly Sports Bar was broken into sometime early last Tuesday morning. “On the early morning hours of Aug. 14, the Grizzly Sports Bar was broken into and a sum of money and liquor was taken,” wrote Staff-Sgt. Jacquie Olsen in
a media release. “Police suspect a lone male is involved in this incident.” Olsen was reluctant to provide details, but she did tell the Times Review the thief entered through the back door. She did not say how much was taken. No description of the suspect was provided and security camera footage only shows the man’s feet, said Olsen.
“There is a lot I’d rather not say in this instance because it might give some things away that we don’t want given away,” she said. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Revelstoke RCMP at 250-8375255 or contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Revelstoke is gearing up for the 100th anniversary of Mount Revelstoke National Park in 2014, starting with an Aug. 25 event commemorating 100 years of the Mount Revelstoke Auto Road. The ceremony at the Revelstoke Golf Club marks 100 years since Aug. 21, 1912 when the Mile Zero post for the Mount Revelstoke Auto Road was unveiled. Two years later, Mount Revelstoke became a National Park of Canada. “This post is very significant as the community asked to have this road created; as well it was the corner stone that would help make Mount Revelstoke become a National Park,” said Neills Kristensen, executive director of Friends of Mount Revelstoke and Glacier. “Many years later other posts would be unveiled by the Royal Family as they visited Revelstoke,” he said. The Friends are hosting the Aug. 25 event along with the Mount Revelstoke Community Centennial Committee, a collection of 21 different organizations that are planning for the 2014 centennial. A new Centennial Logo designed by Rob Buchanan will be unveiled at the Aug. 25 event. The logo was designed with the help of community feedback and focus groups. Activities at the Eatery on the

A five-year-old boy who was a passenger in a pickup truck escaped without injury despite a devastating head-on collision with a tractor-trailer on the Trans-Canada Highway on Sunday. The 72-year-old driver of the pickup was not as fortunate, suffering from critical injuries that required him to be airlifted to Kelowna General Hospital from the scene by helicopter ambulance.

said RCMP spokesperson Staff-Sgt. Jacquie Olsen. The driver of the tractor-trailer and his passenger also escaped injury. A BCAS spokesperson said the man was listed with critical injuries on Sunday. Olsen told the Times Review the man’s condition had improved by Monday, and is now listed as serious. The crash also resulted in a small fuel leak, which slowed traffic for hours while it was cleaned. Police say the reason why the truck crossed the centre line is unknown at this time.
Resident confronts hungry burglar in the Big Eddy AARON ORLANDO
Alex Cooper REPORTER
The incident happened at about 2 p.m. on Aug. 19 east of Albert Canyon in Glacier National Park. Revelstoke RCMP say the eastbound senior driver crossed the centre line and hit the westbound tractor-trailer “almost head on.” The violent impact spun the pickup around and flung it down an embankment on the westbound side of the road. The assistance of Revelstoke Search & Rescue was required to extract the criticallyinjured Nanaimo man from the pickup truck. The boy was “shaken but not injured”
A Big Eddy resident was roused from bed just after 4:30 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 20 after hearing noises inside his home. Upon investigating, the man discovered an intruder in his home located on Highway 23 South. “When the homeowner confronted the male he asked what it is he wanted,” said Staff-Sgt. Jacquie Olsen in a statement.
“The unknown male indicated he wanted food, then he ran off.” The homeowner and police subsequently searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect. Nothing was damaged or stolen. Police believe the man entered the home through an unlocked door. Olsen said there was no violence or threats of violence involved in the incident. Police are seeking public help locating the intruder. He is described as a white male
with blonde hair, aged about 25, wearing jeans, a long-sleeved shirt and work gloves. “Police would like to remind you that all doors should be locked when not at home and at night time,” Olsen said in a statement. “During hot weather even the ground floor windows should be secured to ensure unwanted guest do not gain entry.” If anyone has any information as to the identity of this male, they are asked to contact the local detachment as 250.837.5255 or Crime Stoppers at 1.800.222.TIPS.
Revelstoke Crossing not only target for district energy expansion Re: City pushing satellite district energy system for Revelstoke Crossing, Aug. 1, 2012. Editor, We appreciate the Times’ approach to investigative journalism and relish the community dialogue the paper stimulates. We believe this particular article presented a somewhat biased viewpoint by focusing future District Energy expansion toward a particular development (especially in the caption) – Revelstoke Crossing – a proposed restaurant and hotel development next to the Trans-Canada Highway east of Subway. From a planning and development perspective the proposed policy in the Official Community Plan (OCP) is to “Develop district energy service area bylaws and pol-
L ET TER S icies with mandatory hook-ups based on sound business plans and market strategies” – not to single out anyone owner or developer. The proposed changes to the OCP are out for public review – please see the public notice on the city page of the paper. As mentioned in the August 14 Council staff report, the intention is to explore district energy policies and bylaws in concert with the business community to achieve a “win-win.” That is, district energy that reduces costs for owners and operators, and at the same time minimizes greenhouse gas impacts and improves energy efficiency. The article correctly indicates that
bylaws are not in place to require energy ready systems (hot water systems, for example) or to mandate hook-up to district energy. The highway corridor is a great opportunity for future expansion and a potential satellite plant is discussed in the council adopted District Energy and Expansion Plan. Although the draft OCP supports these goals, there are miles to go before the community, businesses and council can positively affirm an energy partnership. Again the department appreciates the paper’s initiatives and we continue to encourage ongoing communication on this and other topics.’ John Guenther, Planning Director

Revelstoke earns Canada’s first Red Apple retail store THE BARGAIN! SHOP REBRANDING TO RED APPLE IS STARTING IN REVELSTOKE AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Red Apple general merchandise store opened its first-ever Canadian retail location in Revelstoke with a soft opening on Friday, Aug. 17. Store manager Trevor English explained the new store is the first of a wave of rebranding for The Bargain! Shop retail chain, which operates about 270 stores in Canada. The privately-owned retailer plans to convert and rebrand about 35 other retail locations in Canada to Red Apples in the first year. “It’s a rebrand of the company’s logo,” English explained, adding the goal is to create a more upscale, positive consumer association with the brand. The management and staff of the former The Bargain! Shop are relo-
cating from their Victoria Road location to the former home of the Field’s store. English said he worked hard to bring the first rebranded location to Revelstoke, jumping into a competitive bidding process for the empty retail location when it was vacated earlier in 2012. “I really put pressure on head office to come and look at it,” he said. “I’m absolutely ecstatic. It’s a proper retail space.” They’re expanding from 5,900 square feet to about 9,000 square feet and will add to their line of products and improve selection in the existing lines. New product lines will include bread, dairy, bulk candy and hardware. They’ll also expand their clothing lines in footwear, consumables and clothing. “The company’s consistently after new lines and products,”
he said. While in transition, it will take the new store about three weeks to get all their new stock in. “It’s a soft opening tomorrow. The focus is the to get the doors open for the city,” English told the Times Review a day before he opened their doors, adding that having Revelstoke’s only general merchandise retailer closed for four days was “too long.” A grand opening is planned for the near future. Renovations of the building have included new flooring, new paint and new or repaired lighting. The Bargain! Shop and now Red Apple trace their Canadian roots back to the 1920s when Woolworth’s expanded into Canada. In the late 1990s, the US company divested their Canadian retail locations and was purchased by a management-led buyout.
Trevor English, the manager of Red Apple, says the store’s opening weekend was really busy. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Health Advice by Alicia Mele, Home Health Care Manager, Pharmasave Edema Edema or swelling of the legs and feet is a common condition and occurs when the body tissue has an excess amount of fluid in it. The fluid builds up in the body’s lower extremities due to gravity, which pushes into the feet and lower leg. There are many causes for edema, including an injury to the area, a blood clot in the leg, leg infections, and more serious medical conditions like heart or kidney disease. Edema of the lower extremities is common in overweight individuals and the elderly. Swelling may also occur due to nonmedical conditions like long rides in vehicles, or in airplanes. In fact simply standing in the
same spot for too long, or being on your feet all day can cause swelling.
Alicia Mele
However the swelling can be eased by elevating the feet (above the heart when possible), eating a diet low in sodium, massaging of affected areas, leg exercises and wearing compression stockings. Compression stockings help prevent the pooling of fluid in the lower extremities, they have a graduated compression, from the ankle upwards pushing
excess fluid towards the heart. Low compression socks can be purchased without a prescription and a certified compression stocking fitter can help educate users about the safe wearing of the compression stocking. Make sure to seek medical attention if self-help measures for swelling do not work, if swelling is painful and skin is warm to touch, if you are pregnant and swelling is sudden. Person with diabetes, heart disease or history of blood circulation problems should consult with their physician first. If you have questions about treatments for swelling, please visit me in the Home Health Care department at Pharmasave.

Scenes from Railway Days A parade of families flocked to the Revelstoke Railway Museum to enjoy the Railway Days festivities on Saturday. The family day activities included a giant bouncy castle, a demonstration by the Revelstoke Acrobats, music by the Kettle Valley Brakemen, rides on the Puffer Belly kids train and more. Inside, the Salmon Arm Model Railway Club had its track set up and author Ian Baird signed copies of his book. The day was the centrepiece of Railway Days, that launched on Thursday with a barbecue at the museum, featured a special talk by historian Robert Turner on Friday, and a vintage car show at the museum on Sunday. Clockwise, from right: The Kettle Valley Brakemen perform while a member of the Revelstoke Acrobats performs in the background.; A family takes in the Salmon Arm Model Railroad Club’s replica of the CP Rail line’s route through the Monashees and Shuswap.; Dan Sculnick takes his son Ouri on a ride on the CP Puffer Belly Train.

Book explores railway station history, including Revelstoke’s ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
The old Revelstoke railway station is featured on the cover of Ian Baird’s book An Historical Guide to Canadian Pacific Railway Stations in British Columbia. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review
When Ian Baird was 14 he took a ferry from his home of Victoria to Vancouver, and then hopped on a train to Paynton, Saskatchewan. He followed the CP Rail mainline through British Columbia and Alberta to his grandparents home and along the way he became fascinated by all the railway stations he passed. That experience led him to a project at the University of Victoria on railway architecture and has culminated in his book, An Historical Guide to Canadian Pacific Railway Stations in
British Columbia, which he was selling autographed copies of at the Revelstoke Railway Museum during Railway Days on Saturday. The book looks at the architectural history of train stations and their role in the community. Revelstoke’s old station is pictured on the cover. He said the design of the stations was standard, and similar to ones in Kamloops and Mission City. I stopped and chatted with Baird, a railway expert and librarian. He noted the change in the Revelstoke railway station, from a grand building that was once the main welcoming and departing point for the community, to
the concrete structure it is now. The change is a result of the move of CP Rail away from passenger rail to freight; and the move of people away from trains and onto highways. “It progressed as traffic changed and the architectural style reflected,” said Baird. “The picturesque architecture went as people travelled more in cars. These days, most classic railway stations in British Columbia have followed the path of Reveltsoke’s and vanished. Baird estimates only 20 of about 150 historic stations still exist.

Two local throwers medal at national track championships the former event by only 17 centimetres. “It feels amazing to know all the training I’ve been doing has paid off in new personal best,” he said following the meet. “The experience here has been amazing meeting new friends, making new bests and getting to see the other side of Canada. I couldn’t ask for a better time than that.” He said his plan is to keep training with the aim of winning
a medal when he moves up to the higher age group next year. “And hopefully qualify for the Youth Olympics in 2014 and break national records,” he added. Jeff Colvin, the throwing coach for the Revelstoke Secondary School track team, called Behncke a “very dedicated student-athlete” and a leader on the team who helped coach his younger teammates during the
teachers’ job action in the spring. “With another year left in high school, things look very promising for Peter to bring home the first Senior gold medal since the ‘80s,” said Colvin. He said Andrews was “pretty raw and unrefined when it comes to throws.” “I really look forward to watching Chris progress as he makes athletics a focus in his life. He has a lot of potential.”

Two Revelstoke throwing stars have returned home from the Canadian Youth Athletics Championships in Prince Edward Island with medals around their necks. Peter Behncke won silver in the under-18 hammer throw and Chris Andrews took home bronze in the under-16 shot put at last weekend’s meet. Behncke took the long way to the championships. After a disappointing qualifying meet where he failed to make Team BC, he decided to travel to PEI on his own.
“I knew I could beat the guys who made the team,” he said. “It gave me motivation to come [and] win.” There, he launched the hammer 56.92 metres – a personal best for him. He also had the third and fourth best throws on the day, but was beat out for gold by Tory Shewfelt, whose best throw on the day outdid Behncke’s best by only 19 centimetres. “It’s just been amazing,” said Behncke about his results. “I’m at a loss for words because of how I did.” Andrews’ throw of 15.16 metres in the shot put was good enough for third place, 21 centimetres out of second. He also finished fourth in the discus and hammer throw, missing a medal in

40 players battle it out for roster spots at Grizzlies main camp ALEX COOPER & AARON ORLANDO revelstoketimesreview.com
With eight open spots available, competition was fierce at the Grizzlies main camp last weekend. 40 players took part in the camp – some of whom paid $100 for the privilege. Some were returning players from last year, others were looking to get in some hockey before heading off to Junior A camps, while more were looking to impress head coach Kevin Kraus and get invited to training camp at the end of the month. “I think it’s gone real well. We had 40 kids show up on Friday for fitness testing and had a real good showing for that,” said coach and general manager Kevin Kraus. “I had them run in the heat – it was a little funny, the kids were dying out there.” There were eight returning players from last season’s team that won its division before being upset in the first round by Sicamous. They were goaltender Conrad McMillan, defencemen Adam Pulliam, Tyler Bolduc and Braden Seyl; and forwards Kent Hendrickson, Riley Creighton, TJ Christensen and Tyler Reay. Several local youth were also on the ice looking to earn a spot on the team. Brodie Buhler and Eric Austin, who played several games as injury call-ups last year, were there,
as were Chevy Hantula and Cody Hendrickson. Louie Federico, 15, was also skating, though he is too young to play on the team. Kraus said none of them were guaranteed a spot. “If I have a local that wants to compete and play for me and make this team, then definitely,” he said. “You don’t want to give them a free pass and think they’re on the team automatically because then they get lazy.” The rest of the try-outs consisted of a mix of kids Kraus recruited at hockey showcases, the Grizzlies’ spring camp, and players recommended by returning veterans and his associates in the hockey world. “In the recruiting world you get as much help as you can and try and get people to send you players,” said Kraus. His goal, he said, was to have two full teams on the ice and to create a competitive camp where everyone would work hard. “I wanted to bring in two full teams that had kids who compete in a Junior B rink and I feel like I succeeded in that way.” On Saturday the players were divided up into two groups for a mixture of workouts and scrimmages. On Sunday, they were again split up for the “All-Star” game. Team Yellow beat Team White 8-2, behind a five-goal first period outburst. Afterwards the players lined up outside the coach’s office for
their exit interviews and to learn their fate. Kraus declined to name who made the cut. Kraus said he felt he’d achieved his goal of having a competitive camp. “Everyone’s been competing for a few days and I’m sure their getting tired. I had a few kids get some injuries. That’s a good sign at least they’re playing hard.” Over the next few weeks he will be attending Junior A camps, looking to recruit late cuts there. Players that made the cut will be back in Revelstoke just before the Labour Day weekend with the goal of making the team.
GRIZZLIES CALL TOWN HALL MEETING FOR AUG. 23 The Revelstoke Grizzlies are hosting a public town hall meeting on Aug. 23 to introduce the new management team and to give residents a chance to ask questions about the club. Revelstoke Grizzlies president Lewis Hendrickson and new business and marketing manager Steve Smith will host the event starting at 7 p.m. at the Revelstoke Community Centre. The open house follows an offseason attempt to move the team to 100 Mile House, ownership transitions and legal wrangling between

the owners and the Revelstoke Grizzlies Society. Hendrickson said the town hall meeting is designed to turn a new chapter. “Basically just to inform the public that the team’s around and introduce the new people involved,” he said. “There’s a lot of uncertainty about what’s going on so if anybody has any questions or queries we’ll just clean it up then.” The club is also hoping to boost season’s ticket sales to help their financial picture. “There was a fair amount of debt leftover and so we’re working away at cleaning up the debt and we’re hoping that we have a unified front going forward,” Hendrickson said. They’ve set a goal of 200 season’s passes sold by
Sept. 30, and are offering a prize draw for early birds. The Grizzlies have also announced a logo change. “We’ve changed our logos and jerseys and have a fresh, classic look,” said Smith. The high-sticking bear and Mt. Begbie background will be replaced with a simple ‘R’ logo. “We thought we would want to rebrand it and give [them] a new look,” Hendrickson said. Smith said the organization is raring to go. “Players are eager to come to Revelstoke to play and with a wealth of local talent available; this year’s edition of the Grizzlies is ready to roar into the Forum and impress!”

Derailers win third straight derby bout STEPHANIE ELLS Revelstoke Roller Derby
The Revelstoke Derailers ended its inaugural season with a 204-176 win over the Okanagan Derby Dolls in Kelowna on Saturday. We came into the game as the underdogs, expecting a tough and strategic game. Both teams have a good mix of strong blockers, smart pivots and agile jammers. Both teams have also worked with Lime, a top notch professional roller derby coach who focuses on strategy and smart game play. We are still in our rookie year and the Dolls are a mixed team of veteran players (many of their players play for other teams as well). The Okanagan-Shuswap Roller Derby Association (OSRDA, which the dolls are part of) is the closest league to Revelstoke
Roller Derby (RRD) and has been a mentor league to us from the very beginning. OSRDA opened its practices at the Hassen Arena in Armstrong to our girls last year when we did not have a practice space. Because of that we knew a lot of the girls already and knew that they would be a lot of fun, but also a challenge, on the track. We only had 12 girls on our roster (a full roster is 14) and two were playing their very first game ever, after passing their basic skills testing only a few weeks ago. We also had Commanda and A.C. Slayedher coaching us on their own, for the first time. The Derailers held a small lead for most of the game, but the Dolls fought hard and were rarely more than one power jam away from the lead. In the end it was our team work, solid coaching, and penalty free jammers that
100 Years of MILE ZERO
pulled us ahead for a final score of 204–176. It was a great end to an amazing rookie year. I’m so proud of all the hard work that every single skater, official, volunteer and all the fans have put into making RRD such a huge success! We look forward to the possibility of seeing the Dolls, and maybe other OSRDA teams, on the track in Revelstoke in our 2013 season. In the meantime, the league is still desperately seeking an indoor practice facility for the winter. We want to offer the women of Revelstoke a year round team sport. Our only requirements are that the flat skating surface is 90-feet long by 60-feet wide. We have the means to work with a facility to leave the surface in better condition than before we used it.

Obituaries Jack Byers It is will great sadness we announce the passing of John "Jack" Byers. He was a devoted son, spouse, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin and friend.
A Memorial Service was held at the Revelstoke United Church on Friday afternoon, August 10th with Mr. Gary Sulz of¿ciating. Honorary pallbearers were Gord Dale, Brian Eaton, John MacKenzie, Jim Floyd, Gary Krestinsky, John Kavalinas, Brian Dowdall, Roly Holowaty, Bob Johnson and Ray Dhillon. In lieu of Àowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 1633 Pandosy Street, Kelowna, B.C. V1Y 1P6 or the Heart & Stroke Foundation, Box 2088, Revelstoke, B.C. V0E 2S0, in memory of Jack. Jack was born in McAuley Village Manitoba on March 16, 1942. Jack moved to Revelstoke in 1968 and started working at the Texaco station as well as Ken Taylor Motors before he took on a full time position of mechanic and welder for the City of Revelstoke. For many years Jack also volunteered his time at the Fire Department, and through the years of service he walks away from there with not only good time and memories and comradery but, many good friends as well. After Jack retired from the city he enjoyed his retirement and decided to go back to work full time for Napa Auto Parts. He has shared many good times and memories from working there as well. There was also a debate between Napa and Stay Cool Radiator of who could harass their fellow co-workers more. However the results of that debate are still unknown at this point.

Unterberger, Bernier win overall titles of Weds night race series ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Dominic Unterberger and Melanie Bernier emerged as the winners of the Wednesday night race series, as the racers capped off the season with a gruelling ride on old-school trails on Revelstoke Mountain Resort. The seventh and final race of the summer saw about 30 riders tackle two old trails on Mount Mackenzie that were re-furbished by Revelstoke Mountain Resort for the Aug. 15 race. Faultline and The Big Easy were initially built by the Rev-
elstoke Cycling Association in 1999 for use as a race course. They were decommissioned when RMR was built but trail crews fixed up the trails for the race. “I really enjoyed riding the old-school trails,” said organizer Bart Jarmula after the race. The course saw the riders start at the Nelsen Lodge, ride five kilometres up the mountain road to the maintenance shed, circle the Faultline trail, ride past the day lodge, up the steep Sunshine ski run, onto the Big Easy trail, back to Faultline, and then down the lower slopes of RMR. It was a tough course that chal-

lenged most riders, though Jarmula noted the winners finished five minutes faster than expected. The race started with a pack of six racers leading the way up the mountain road. Eventually Brendan Macintosh, Marty Schaffer and Unterberger separated themselves from the rest of the riders as they led the charge up the steep Sunshine Trail. When they reached the finish line, Macintosh emerged as the winner in a time of 1:04:20, edging out Schaffer by a mere five seconds. Unterberger, 16, finished 30 seconds back. Three minutes later a second group of five racers charged down the mountain almost side-by-side and finished within seconds of each other. Melanie Bernier won the women’s race, completing her sweep of the seven-race series. Sarah Newton edged out Atsuko Knight for second. In the overall standings, Unterberger finished on top of the men’s side with 112 points, thanks to his consistently strong results and young age. 14-year-old Kellen Viznaugh finished second with 98 points, followed by Macintosh in third spot. Bernier won the women’s side thanks not only to her dominant race performances, but also to her role in organizing weekly trail maintenance days. Knight finished second and Newton came in third. Racers got points for their place in the standings, and younger and older racers got bonus points to help level the playing field. There were also bonus points awarded for taking part in trail maintenance days.
