The 1912 Mount Revelstoke Auto Road’s first milestone at the Revelstoke Golf Club is the point of departure that sent the community of Revelstoke on a two-year journey that led to the construction of the road in Mount Revelstoke National Park. 100 years later, Revelstoke is embarking on another two-year journey that will retrace the steps and tell the stories of the journey. Almost 50 people gathered at the Revelstoke Golf Club on Saturday, Aug. 25, to kick off the centennial celebrations of the park, which will culminate in 2014. Revelstoke Museum & Archives curator Cathy English explained some of the chapters in the drive to create the park.
A walking trail up the mountain was created in 1908. The Revelstoke Mountaineering Club was formed in 1909 and it built the first chalet at Balsam Lake that year. During construction, pioneer mountaineer Eva Hobbs discovered Eva Lake while on a group hike in the area — it was named after her. In 1912 the Revelstoke Progress Club formed to promote the area, foster pride and promote the vast natural resources in the region. English noted their pioneering efforts to promote wilderness-based tourism. One of their key goals was, “to familiarize citizens and [the] general public with [the] unsurpassed scenic attractions easily available by means of good roads and trails.” In 1912, club members met with provincial officials, who helped secure
funding for the road up the mountain. The Progress Club also dreamed of a CP Rail chalet at the summit, and lobbied for a golf course. They envisioned a golf course that would be “the most beautifully situated in the world.” “Parks Canada never agreed to that one,” English joked. Eight kilometres of road was completed in the first year, but progress soon slowed with the start of the First World War. Mayor David Raven said the community leaders at time were visionary, adding it was an “exceptional year.” “In 1912 Revelstoke was seen to be one of the communities that was going to be leaders in the province,” Raven said. “It was going to be a commercial hub for the central Interior.” There was a wave of provincial
and federal funding for things like the Revelstoke Post Office, The Revelstoke Courthouse and Queen Victoria Hospital. He compared those public works with the ones undertaken during his term. “So far we’ve got a sewage pumping plant and a bit of pipe in the ground,” he joked. It was also the start of efforts to diversify beyond the resource industry, including a tourism push embodied by the Auto Road. Mayor Raven displayed a handcarved, wooden walking cane that sits in a case in his office. It was presented to Mayor Hector McKinnon in 1916 by Austrian prisoners of war who were interned in a road work camp on the mountain. “Interesting that prisoners of war would make such a contribution to the mayor of the community,” Raven said. “Which

tells me that we were an open, caring and inclusive community, even in 1912. I think that our legacy follows forward.” Parks Canada superintendent Karen Tierney applauded the vision of the Revelstoke pioneers who lobbied to create the park. “It was quite a vision,” she said, noting there were very few national parks anywhere in world at that time. “They saw the opportunity to protect this special place and share it with the world. “This was at a time when most people did not own a car,” she added. Parks Canada artist Rob Buchanan unveiled the logo for the 2014 centennial. It features remarkable wildflowers from the summit area, including Indian Paintbrush and Lupin. A green triangle features one of the many peaks of Mount Revelstoke.

NEWS BRIEFS No bears destroyed so far in 2012
A good wild berry crop has led to fewer bear sightings in Revelstoke, and no bears destroyed yet this season — keeping Revelstoke on track for the first season without a bear destroyed since 2000. But the bears aren’t out of the woods

yet, says Revelstoke Bear Aware coordinator Sue Davies. Human conflicts with bears ramp up late in summer when bears push to fatten themselves up for winter. That’s when they make more forays into town in search for high calorie snacks. The leading bear attractant is garbage — so keep yours secure until garbage day. The number two problem is domestic fruit trees that become ripe during the late summer, attracting bears into town.

“Plums especially are a really good food source for the tree,” Davies said. Revelstoke Bear Aware’s fruit tree gleaning project is ramping up to help alleviate the situation.

Is personalized learning the future of education in Revelstoke? ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
When George Abbott, the B.C. Minister of Education, was in Revelstoke in June for a Chamber of Commerce function, one of the planks of the government’s education plan he talked about was personalized learning. “If your most exciting aim in life is to drive a truck as big as this hotel, that’s great,” he said during breakfast at the Regent. “We should be excited. If that’s what the student is excited about, give them an opportunity to work in the heavy equipment area. “Let’s expand the educational experience so students can get out into the community and explore what they think might be the passion for the balance of their lives,” he continued. “A career that will genuinely be a career, it won’t be work.” Personalized learning is one of the buzz terms floating about education circles these days. During last year’s Revelstoke school board elections several local candidates brought it up as one of the initia-
tives the school district should pursue. “The challenge for School Districts will be to continue to achieve success in what has been regarded as traditional academic skills such as literacy, math, science, social studies while incorporating technology and new skills to ensure learning is relevant for today’s students,” said school board chair Alan Chell at the time. Trustees Mauro Morrone and Jeff Nicholson also raised it as a key issue for the future of education. At around the same time, in late October of 2011, the government announced personalized learning as a major plank of its BC Education Plan, though discussion dates to before that. It launched a website, www.personalizedlearningbc.ca, and an interactive web document explaining how it would work, as well as seeking feedback. What is personalized learning? In a nutshell, it’s about allowing more flexibility for students in terms of their education choices. The BC Education Plan puts its as such: “Under the Plan, teachers, stu-

dents and parents will work together to make sure every student’s needs are met, passions are explored and goals are achieved. This means student-centred learning that’s focused
on the needs, strengths and aspirations of each individual young person. Students will play an active role in designing their own education and will be increasingly
accountable for their own learning success.” As Abbott put it, a student inter-

Paraglider rescued after crashing into Columbia River near 6 Mile ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
A paraglider was taken to hospital with minor injuries after crashing hard into the Columbia River just south of Revelstoke last Monday. The man was flying over the river when he lost control and went down just off shore near the Revelstoke RC Club field at 6 Mile, witnesses told the Times Review. “He was doing manouvres over the lake and he pooched one and ended up in the lake,” said Jim Reich, an instructor with FlyBC. Fortunately, a group of paragliders taking a course with the paragliding business FlyBC were on the ground
right there and had a boat handy. They rushed out to rescue the man, who was knocked briefly unconscious, but was wearing a lifejacket. They brought him to shore and looked him over for injuries. BC Ambulance attended the scene to take over care and bring the man to hospital as precautionary measure. Other Revelstoke first responders including Revelstoke Search & Rescue and Revelstoke Fire Rescue Services were dispatched, but were called off when it was learned the man had been rescued from the river. The man was described as an experienced paraglider with at least a decade’s experience flying.

When a prescription is refilled, pharmacists are sometimes asked if the drug has to be taken “for the rest of my life”? As we age, it seems we need more medications but it is true that some of the doses of these medications can be reduced later in life or even discontinued altogether. However, no drug should be discontinued without your doctor’s OK and stopping a drug “cold turkey” is not recommended.
Men’s sperm count is sensitive to temperature changes. The higher the temperature, the lower the sperm count. Choice of underwear has a bearing on this. Boxer shorts provide a lower temperature environment than briefs that hold the testicles close to the body. However, briefs are not a male contraceptive.
“Grams” is a unit of weight. How many grams in one teaspoonful (a unit of volume)? The answer is 4.2 grams. So if your soft drink contains 35 grams of sugar that’s over 8 teaspoonsful! This gives you a better picture of sugar content. A healthy daily amount of added sugar is 40-50 grams (about 10-12 tsp).

Hospital history focus of QVH centennial celebration ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Dr. Chris McDonald cuts the ceremonial cake at the Queen Victoria Hospital cornerstone centennial. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review
Revelstoke’s first doctor showed up in town almost the moment it was founded. Dr. Dugald Leitch McAlpine must have seen a good business opportunity in the burgeoning frontier town because it seems like he wasn’t much a fan of Revelstoke itself. While he kept an office on Front Street – then Revelstoke’s main street – he built himself a home on an island on the west bank of the Columbia River, where his children would be away from the influence of the wild, wild west trappings in town. That was one of the anecdotes Cathy English, the curator of the Revelstoke Museum & Archives shared during a talk on the history of health care in Revelstoke that was part of the 100th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of Queen Victoria Hospital on Tuesday. Construction started on Queen Victoria Hospital 100 years ago with the laying of the
cornerstone (where Cooper’s grocery store is now located) on August 21, 1912. About 50 people gathered at the hospital lats Tuesday evening to celebrate the occassion, enjoy tea and cake, and listen to English give her talk. Revelstoke’s first hospital opened on Douglas Street in June 1897. The first patient was a man named Charles Holten, who had a piece of one finger removed, English said. In 1901 a hospital society was formed (a ladies auxiliary followed not long after) and they worked to build a new hospital. They approached the Victorian Order of Nurses, who agreed to support the building of a hospital. As such, the Queen Victoria Cottage Hospital was built and opened in August 1902. The new hospital was four storeys high, but it still wasn’t big enough for the growing community of Revelstoke. At the time, Revelstoke was a major centre in the B.C. Interior, rivalling Kamloops and bigger than Kelowna and Vernon. In 1912, the cornerstone for

Queen Victoria Hospital was laid. That same year construction started on the courthouse and on the Mount Revelstoke Auto Road. The cornerstone was filled with mementoes from the era – coins, stamps, a bird’seye-view pictures of Revelstoke, a copy of the local newspaper and more. The hospital opened on June 18, 1913. It was a large brick building with a circular central structure flanked by two wings. The ladies auxiliary held a pantry shower and people were encouraged to bring items for the kitchen or linen for the rooms. Dr. Hamilton was the first doctor and he and nurse Matheson played a leading role in healthcare across the region. The hospital was the site of a nursing school starting in 1914, with the first class graduating in 1918. The hospital was considered a great place to find a wife, joked Cathy English. In the mid-1930s a bit of history was made when Jean Kwong became the first Chinese-Canadian nurse in Canada. She graduated at the top of her
class but was denied her reward due to her Chinese heritage. English presented a number of pictures of the hospital, as well as photos of nurses and doctors – many of whom garnered murmurs of recognition from the people in attendance at the celebration. By the 1960s the hospital was proving to be too small and outdated and on Oct. 3, 1968, construction began on the current hospital in Arrow Heights. It opened two years later, on Dec. 19, 1970. After English’s presentation I approached Helen Grace, who worked at the old hospital, to see if she had any stories. She told me that when she first started in 1949 the men’s ward had 10 beds in it and could only be separated by low screens. When the nurses had to deliver an enema, the other patients could see them raise up the needle, so everyone knew what was happening. When the nurses embarked on their first fundraiser in 1951 they invested in some proper curtains so the men could have more privacy.

Police are requesting an independent review into the death of Daniel Levesque, according to an article in the Victoria Times Colonist. According to the article by reporter Louise Dickson, investigators of the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit want to use a new pathologist after a second report on Levesque’s death stated the principal cause of death was “consistent with cocaine toxicity in the setting of physical trauma.” Levesque, an aspiring musician, died following an altercation in a Victoria apartment on Aug. 3, 2011. According to police, Joshua Bredo called 911 to say he had been stabbed in the stomach, arm and head by Levesque. When police arrived at the scene, Bredo was on his back on the floor and Levesque was lying face down on a couch. They were both taken to hospital, where Levesque died of his wounds. Bredo was charged with second degree murder. The initial autopsy report, which was completed on Dec. 7, 2011, by pathologist Dr. Carol Lee stated Levesque had two circular wounds on the back of his head that indicated he was struck by a hammer. However, the report concluded he died of cocaine toxicity.
Daniel Levesque.
As a result, the charges against Bredo were stayed. In a new affidavit filed with the court on Aug. 2, Const. Margo Downey, the primary investigator, said an additional report by Lee confirmed the cause of death as “consistent with cocaine toxicity in the setting of physical trauma.” The report has led Downey to retain an independent pathologist. She expects a new report to be ready in about four months. Dickson’s article also says that messages from Bredo’s Blackberry were deleted just before police were called. The RCMP are also allowed to hold onto items seized from Bredo as evidence until Dec. 8.

Later, the car’s owner returns, surveys the damage and opens the note. It reads, “I just backed into your car. All these people are watching me so I figured I’d better pretend I’m leaving you my contact info. Sorry.” In Revelstoke, it’s a missing canoe — an old, red Viking fibreglass canoe that was chained to a tree near the Columbia River at

Revelstoke Mountain Resort was fined $460 for the actions of a contractor that contaminated the water supply of neighbouring residents last summer. The resort was issued two violation tickets for making changes in or near a stream without lawful authority, Det.Sgt. Cynthia Mann of the B.C. Conservation Office told the Times Review. The charges stemmed from the contamination of Thomas Brook, which is the water source for about a dozen residents in the neighbourhood just south of the resort. The action left them without clean water for about month last August and September. Mann said the fine is the maximum allowable under the specific section of the Water Act. “After carefully considering all of the facts of the investigation, the decision to issue the tickets was determined to be appropriate,” she said in an e-mail. She did not respond to several requests for a copy of the investigation report.
Westerburg Road. Revelstoke RCMP say someone took the canoe by cutting through a chain. But they’re not ‘thieves’ — they left a note saying they were borrowing the canoe. The note said all the owner has to do is ask for it back on the Stoke List, and they’ll reunite him with the canoe. He did several times, but no canoe. So Revelstoke RCMP are getting involved, asking for the canoe and

Revelstoke RCMP hunt stolen dirtbike Revelstoke RCMP are seeking the public’s help in locating a motorcycle that was stolen from an Arrow Heights home Friday morning.
The situation last year has spurred the local residents to re-examine their water supply. After being presented with a slate of options they are looking at either upgrading their current water supply or connecting to the city water system, said resident Elmer Rorstad. The latter option would require being annexed to the city. He said a meeting with Ministry of Health officials was planned for September to look at the current water supply and see what it would take to bring it into line with provincial standards. “Basically we have to come to a decision here pretty quickly,” Rorstad said. “We have a five-year period to join the city and get water and come up with the best cost system that will satisfy the Ministry of Health.” He said he would love to see RMR contribute to any costs but doesn’t consider that likely. “There’s not a lot of corporate will to do the right thing,” he said. He also didn’t consider the $460 much of a deterrent. “My point of view is when we are going to see the good neighbour?” RCMP received a report that blue 2011 Husaberg motorcycle was stolen from a home on Park Drive sometime in the early morning hours of Aug. 24. The motorcycle had 3/4 of a tank of gas in it and the keys were not taken with it. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the motorcycle and/ or who might have taken it are asked to call the Revelstoke RCMP.

Descendants of a Saskatchewan man who drowned in a work camp tragedy near Revelstoke 78 years ago this week will gather here to lay a headstone their family couldn’t afford when he died. Joe Wall, then 17, was one of five men who drowned in the Columbia River on Aug. 26, 1934 after a cable car they were riding in plunged nearly eight metres into the river at 10 Mile. The men were all migrants who came for work at a National Defence camp. They were employed building the Big Bend Highway. During their spare time, six workers discovered a small, old cable car that crossed the river. Against the warnings of others, they rigged the car up to the nearby cable and crossed the river in two trips. On their way back, they all loaded into the car. Their combined weight was too much and the cable car gave way, spilling the men into the river. The men were swept down the river and some of them reportedly floated as far down as Revelstoke. Townspeople looked on in horror, while others launched boats in an attempt to save them. Only one man – Roy Palmer – survived when he was plucked from a rock he clung to. Joe Wall had run away from his home in Fernview, Saskatchewan, fleeing the poverty

of the Great Depression. He left with 50 cents to his name and rode the rails to the work camp in Revelstoke. At the time, his family in Saskatchewan didn’t have the money to travel here for the funeral, which was handled by the community of Revelstoke. The townspeople floated a raft of flowers down the Columbia as a memorial to the dead. His descendant Kari Dobson recently relocated to Revelstoke and is working on behalf of his relatives to put a memorial headstone on his unmarked grave. “The com-
munity came together for five guys that nobody knew – runaways that came to work on the highway,” she said in a recent interview. Plans for the memorial are taking shape and the headstone is expected to be ready in a few weeks. Members of the family will travel here for the event. “They care all so dearly about this man,” Dobson said. Their message to the man who rests in Mountainview Cemetery: “We’re here for you now, even though it’s 78 years later.”

I am aware of the need for safety of children playing near a busy road as well as any other Revelstoke citizen. However, I question the playground designation along Fourth Street limiting the speed to 30 km/hour every day all year from dawn to dusk. There is a high fence separating the playground from the road. Fourth street is a busy arterial road that from the cycling report has 5,000 vehicles driving on it daily. It is the arterial road that leads to the hospital and, dare I say, the ski resort. Why are all the users having

The Live It! Love It! Foundation is hosting Revelstoke’s first official enduro/downhill mountain bike race at Martha Creek on Saturday, Sept. 15. There have been rogue downhill races in the Revelstoke area in the past and the Revelstoke Cycling Association launched a downhill race series this summer, but the Martha Creek Meltdown will stand head and shoulders above the rest because of the course. The Martha Creek trail (also known as the Sale Mountain trail) is an advanced, 9.4-kilometre long, 1,580-metre vertical plunge from Sale’s alpine meadows right down to the valley floor at Lake Revelstoke. “It’s epic, it’s long,” says race organizer Izzy Lynch, the executive director of the Live It! Love It! Foundation. “It’s just an awesome trail,” she said. “Anyone that’s ridden it loves it.” The enduro format includes the downhill, as well as an option to climb up the mountain to the top first. The Revelstoke Cycling Association is doing the timing. Lynch has attracted sponsors including The North Face, Flowt Bikes & Skis, Clif Bar and Giro. In its first year, Lynch hopes to attract about 60 riders to the race, including a mix of locals, hardcore locals and hardcore riders from around B.C. and beyond. So, why did it take this long for Revelstoke to get a legit, bigmountain downhill race? “Every-

Personalized learning from page 3 ested in operation heavy machinery will get a chance to learn about that. Someone interested in being a logger could have the opportunity to learn about that. Likewise, a student interested in computer programming will have access to courses in that area.
The government took a small step towards its plan when it passed Bill 36 in the spring. The bill eliminated the standard school calendar, giving school districts more scheduling options and even allowing them move towards year-round schooling. So far the Revelstoke school district hasn’t done anything to take
advantage of the new legislation, saying it would take lots of discussion before doing so. Personalized learning has not come up as a major discussion point at meetings of the Revelstoke Board of Education. However, at the board’s last meeting of the past school year, Chell cited a new course on trail building as an example of personalized learning. For Revelstoke, and many other school districts, the challenge will be implementing personalized
learning. As Revelstoke Secondary School shrinks in size, it becomes harder to fund some courses. Providing an even broader range of course will be even more challenging, unless there’s an increase in funding (so far there hasn’t been any). For Alan Chell, the key in Revelstoke will be to make use of technology. “We use technologies in the schools but maybe there’s more we can do that way,” he said in an interview last week. “I think one
area we can do more with in Revelstoke is the whole aspect of distance learning.” Part of the move towards personalized learning is to create a more flexible system that would move away from simple memorization of facts, said Chell. “We have to have a more flexible education system that teaches the students and helps them develop a different skill set than a lot of the previous educational system, which relied on memorization.”

Revelstoke’s Casey Brown will be heading to the World Mountain Biking Championships in Austria next week, hot on the heels of two big wins at Whistler’s Crankworx festival last week. Brown won the gruelling Garbanzo downhill race and the Canadian Open downhill race at Crankworx. The victories earned her the prestigious title of Queen of Crankworx and cemented her rise to the top of Canadian women’s downhill mountain biking. Brown kicked off Crankworx on Sunday, Aug. 12, with a win in the 12-kilometre long Garbanzo downhill race. She edged out Miranda Miller and Claire Buchar, with a time of 14:28.74 to take top spot. She followed that up with a fourth place finish in the Air
Downhill on Aug. 14. However, she saved the best for last with a dominant win in the Canadian Open downhill race on Sunday, Aug. 19, the final day of the competition. There, she rocketed down the course in a time of 3:15.28 – nearly 10 seconds ahead of runner up Buchar, the bronze medalist at last year’s world championships. The victories were a latest in a string of successes for Brown. Earlier this summer the 22-year-old won the Canadian Downhill Championships at Mont Ste. Anne, Quebec. Brown will be at the UCI World Mountain Biking Championships in Salzburg, Austria, this week, where she will look to improve on her 12th place finish from last year. She races in the downhill on Sunday, Sept. 2.

The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association is accepting digital photo submissions of the Thompson Okanagan area for the 2013 Travel Experiences Guide.
Celiac disease is an abnormal immune reaction to gluten. Eating products with gluten causes the body to produce antibodies that attack the villi in the small intestines, decreasing the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. Over time, reduced absorption of nutrients can affect your overall health, and increase your risk of many diseases, even some cancers.
Submissions must be received by 5pm Friday, Sept. 14th, 2012 to garner consideration. Go to totabc.org/photocontest for more details
Submitted photos become the sole property of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association for all intent and purpose and may be published in multiple formats.

Testing for celiac disease is done by a blood test and/ or a scope and biopsy of the small intestine which, if positive, will show changes to the lining of the intestine. Once diagnosed, a consultation with a dietician can be helpful to make the necessary changes in your diet to help get you started on the road to feeling healthy again. For severe cases, under the care of a physician, medications can be used to decrease
the immune response. Health Canada labeling laws requires companies to declare any sources of gluten in their products. Look for products that say “gluten free”. Even some specialty beers are made from gluten free grains!
Ann Woodhurst
If in doubt, read the ingredients carefully, or contact the manufacturer. When eating out, it’s best to talk to the chef directly as not everyone is familiar with the many hidden sources of gluten. For example, unwashed bowls, pots or deep fryers
that previously contained products with gluten, would be cross contaminated. I have lived with Celiac disease for many years. To keep healthy and reduce the complications that arise with celiac disease, it’s important to stick strictly to a gluten free diet. Vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acid supplements are highly recommended to help correct deficiencies, and restore good health. Lifestyle should include a good balance of exercise and rest which also helps to reduce stress. Good guidelines for most people to benefit from! At Pharmasave we have a great variety of gluten free products and supplements and we look forward to assisting you with all of your needs! Eat well, live well, and be well with Pharmasave.

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review
4th Street Jazz Project taking on Main Street ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
It’s a quiet Tuesday night at Benoit’s Wine Bar. At the bar, a couple seems to be enjoying a date, while on stage the musicians of the 4th Street Jazz Project are getting set up. In the corner I find John Baker sitting on the couch. As the band’s leader, I was there to ask him what the band was about. But bassist Michael Liggins decided to chime in first. “We were all born as poor black children and we all changed to white as we grew,� he said. “We were all educated at Brown University.� “Brown? That’s a women’s university!� replied Baker. “That’s why we went there,� said Mike. OK. Now for the real story. The 4th Street Jazz Project was formed just over two years ago by a group of local musicians who were looking for an outlet to play music in a small-band format. The band consists of Baker on guitar, Liggins on bass, Cathy Cameron-Suchy on trumpet, Carl Laurence on trombone, Sylvain Hebert on saxophone, and, on this night, Steve Earle on percussion (no, not that Steve Earle). They had played together in various bands such as the Swing Monkeys and for community musicals and had been talking about doing something smaller together for a while, said Baker. After playing together for the community musical Chicago, they decided the time was right. “The whole musical scene was opening up here and there were
more opportunities available and this is what we wanted to do,� said Baker. “We talked about for a long time and we decided we wanted to do it.� The band’s first show was open mic night at the Last Drop. Baker wrote out chord charts for three songs and off they went. “We didn’t get booed so we decided to keep doing it.� They played a second time at open mic night. Keep in mind, this was the winter of 2009-10, where open mic night was attracting a packed house of rowdy skiers and it wasn’t uncommon to see people crowd-surfing. “The second time was so frightening we’ve never been back. It was amazing,� said Baker. “They had 400 people in there, it was wall to wall. It was pretty crazy.� The goal of the 4th Street Jazz Project from the start was to play traditional jazz, though they’ve added some Latin music as well. The philosophy is to “bring jazz to people because it’s a little different. “We wanted to have the band where you could sit and talk across the table and understand each other. We didn’t want to be loud and intrusive,� said Baker. “There’s lots of music in town but we’re a little different because we’re a horn-based band rather than a vocal or guitar-based band.� Baker himself is an accomplished musician. He started playing guitar at the age of nine and was playing jazz at 15. He attended music school at the University of Toronto, University of Victoria and the University of
Eastern Washington; and his abilities have taken him around the world. In 1978 he moved to Revelstoke where he took up the post as the school’s band teacher. I asked him what he liked about playing in the 4th Street Jazz Project. He cited the quality of the musicians he played with. “They’re all multi-instrumentalist, which means they each play at least three instruments,� he said, before running through what everyone could play (a list that’s too long for this article). “The musicality and the musicianship in this group is outstanding.� The band has played at a variety of venues in Revelstoke, ranging from the aforementioned Last Drop, private parties, street festivals, weddings and more; but Benoit’s is their favourite spot to play. “For us it’s a very good place to play, a very intimate room.� The band is planning to record this fall and is contemplating a Christmas CD that would be sold to raise money for the food bank. Next summer it is looking to play some jazz festivals, such as the ones in Kaslo and Penticton. “People like jazz,� said Baker. “A lot of people are afraid of it because they think it’s going to be manic and squirly and 20-minute solos. We don’t do that. We try to accommodate the listener as much as we can.� The 4th Street Jazz Project plays the Summer Music Fest in Grizzly Plaza on Friday, Aug. 31, at 6:30 p.m. Look for them at various venues around town in the coming months.

REVELSTOKE GRIZZLIES THE GRIZZLIES ARE LOOKING FOR: • Assistant Coach • Trainer • Bus Driver Please contact Kevin if you are interested: kevin@revelstokegrizzlies.com 250-837-5588
Attendance was sparse at the Revelstoke Grizzlies town hall meeting at the community centre on Thursday. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review
Grizzlies look to win back support ahead of upcoming season ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Revelstoke Grizzlies ownership faces an uphill battle as it seeks to dig the hockey team out from under the debt left over from previous years and boost the teams support this year. And its looking for community and corporate support, and new marketing initiatives to boost fan support and get more bums in the seats at the Revelstoke Forum this season. The Grizzlies management held a town hall meeting at the community centre on Thursday evening to go over the team’s status and its plans heading into the upcoming season. The meeting was headed by owner Lew Hendrickson, the team’s manager Steve Smith and volunteer Dennis Berarducci. There were only 19 people in attendance, most of whom were active members of the Revelstoke Grizzlies Society. Hendrickson began the meeting by stating that Michael Roberts was no longer involved with the team, though Hendrickson acknowledged that Roberts still has an ownership stake. “Mike Roberts and the people helping him won’t be involved in the team again,” said Hendrickson. Roberts, who reportedly owns 50 per cent of the team, attempted to sell the team to a group in 100 Mile House in April – a move that was thwarted by the Revelstoke Grizzlies Society. Hendrickson said he was working on buying out Roberts, but still getting Roberts to pay his portion
of the team’s $70,000 debt. “Once we have a legal solution he won’t be involved,” said Hendrickson. “I have personally asked Mr. Roberts to give me some money so he can go away and I can pay off some people. We’re not there yet.” He said he didn’t pay much attention to the team’s financial situation last year, even though he was a minority owner. “I didn’t pay attention to the financial status and I didn’t pay a lot of attention to Mike,” said Hendrickson. “I tried to help him but he wanted to do everything himself, and there’s probably a reason for that. “I wasn’t aware of the state of affairs.” The meeting also served as a forum for the new management group to get out its message for the upcoming season and rally support. The team has set a goal of 200 season ticket sales. If it’s reached, there will be a raffle for a houseboat vacation. They also announced that Revelstoke Mountain Resort will be giving away a season’s pass at an upcoming game. A group of volunteers has been assembled to work the games (though help is still needed for security) and Smith has been reaching out to the business community to gain corporate support for the team. On the hockey front, Greg Austin has been added to the coaching staff. As well, seven locals have made the cut and will be taking part in the Grizzlies pre-season starting at the end of the month. “From a local kids representation, I had a little hard work con-
vincing Kevin that we should go that way but I think it’s important,” said Hendrickson. “The kids have nowhere else to play here. Once they get out of Midget they’re done – and we don’t even have a Midget team.” He later acknowledged that could be at the cost of wins and said it could be a re-building year after three straight division titles. Smith, meanwhile, said he would focus on getting the players involved in the community, help them with school and with finding work. “I want us to return the Grizzlies to the time where they’d go and play floor hockey at schools and do buddy reading,” he said. “We have to get back to the core values of what makes a Revelstoke Grizzly.” Not all is roses. The team still has to climb out of its $70,000 debt hole, and earn the estimated $200,000 it takes to operate the team. The off-season turmoil has also delayed the launch of operations and only 10 season tickets have been sold so far. “We’re just not 100 per cent organized,” said Hendrickson. As for the $23,000 the team owes the city, Hendrickson said that two-thirds of that will have been paid off by the end of this month and the rest by the end of the year. Roma Threatful thanked Hendrickson for taking over the team and working to pay off the debts. “It’s a long winter in Revelstoke without hockey to go to,” she said. “I want to say thank you because it’s not an easy mess to clean up.”

What's Up with Rotary Revelstoke Rotary Club

What’s been the highlight of your Rotary experience? Being asked to serve our 250-837-6216 club as President this year. Meeting other Rotarians from different clubs and sharing experiences. It is a great feeling to see the good that Rotary does in our community and around the world.
The concept is simple: a durable plastic box, which contains a tent big enough to hold an extended family of ten, and essential equipment such as cooking and eating utensils to use while they are displaced or homeless. Depending on the climate, the box may also include emergency blankets, toques and mittens, or mosquito nets.

For $1000 (a tax-deductible receipt is issued to donors) a ShelterBox can be assembled and shipped anywhere in the world, providing temporary shelter for up to six months, and sometimes more. ShelterBoxes are stockpiled at strategic locations globally to allow for quick deployment where they’re needed, and a unique tracking number allows donors to know exactly where their box helped.

The 2012 Harley Heritage Softtail Classic was won by Ty English of Airdrie, AB, while the Twin Anchors Houseboat Vacation was won by Donna Colborne of Leduc, AB. Although both winners were out-of-province, the other big winners were local residents, and the travelling public. Almost $14,000 was raised in the 2012 RafÀe, to support the purchase of a second set of Jaws of Life for the Revelstoke Fire¿ghters, for use in motor vehicle accidents. According to Fire Chief Rob Girard, Revelstoke Fire¿ghters attend at least ¿fty to one hundred calls for motor vehicle extrication each year. “We respond to motor vehicle incidents on the Trans Canada Highway, which can be one of the most dangerous and treacherous stretches of highway, depending on weather and road conditions”, said Chief Girard. “Its our friends, family, colleagues and visitors that are travelling these roadways, and we must be trained and well equipped to respond when called upon. The second set of extrication tools is so greatly appreciated by all our ¿re¿ghters.” said Girard. Clearly this year’s rafÀe was a great success, and special recognition is in order for Ches Beerling, who regularly donates a weekend of his summer to sell tickets, this year at Sturgis North.

It’s easy to take our standards of living for granted here in Canada, and particularly in the relative quiet of Revelstoke, it’s hard to imagine being displaced as a result of conflict or natural disaster. Yet, around the world, tens of millions of people are displaced each year. At our August 16th meeting we hosted Marjolein Lloyd of West Kelowna. Marjolein is a local ambassador for ShelterBox, a Rotary-affiliated international relief charity that assembles and delivers emergency shelters to those who have lost or fled their homes.
Special thanks to Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers of Chilliwack. $1700 was raised and donated to BC Children's Hospital.

So far, the Revelstoke Rotary Club has purchased two ShelterBoxes. Both were sent to assist earthquake victims in 2010; one to Haiti, and the other to Chile. Most recently, ShelterBoxes have been utilized after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, and they’re currently being deployed to house refugees in South Sudan. Closer to home, ShelterBoxes were even on standby during the recent Kelowna and Slave Lake wildfires. You can visit www.shelterboxcanada.org for more information, or to make a donation.

Local Joey Vosburgh wins Jordan River kayak race MELISSA JAMESON Special to the Times Review
Local kayaker Joey Vosburgh was part of the winning team in the first annual Steep Creek Kayak Race on Revelstoke’s Jordan River last Saturday, Aug. 25. Organized by local paddler Kate Devine, the event saw kayakers negotiating slides, chutes and boulder gardens on this technical class 4 section of the Jordan River. The race course started above the locally named “#4” drop, which is adjacent to the Jordan River Gravel Pit, and finished at the bridge that crosses the river near the Boulder parking lot. Average times
were between 7 and 8 minutes with the winning time at 6:47. Competitors raced in teams of two, with 26 people coming out to race. The day was perfect with hot, sunny weather; medium water levels and high energy levels. Spectators and volunteers cheered as racers dropped into the slide that marked the start of the race course. The competitors were excited to be a part of this new event. The race was sponsored by Endless Adventure of Crescent Valley, BC; The Village Idiot, Stoke Roasted Coffee and Valhalla Pure Revelstoke. The race was a great way to showcase what Revelstoke has to offer in terms of more dif-
ficult white water. We have a strong, but small local paddling community here in Revelstoke and many of our best runs are not well known outside of our community. We all know Revelstoke is about more than just great skiing, but this kind of event can really help to promote Revelstoke as a true four season adventure destination. The top three teams were: • Joey Vosburgh and Peter Thompson – 6:47 • Greg Dashper and Tim Loubier – 6:54 • Sven Perschmann and Stephan Patsch – 6:56 For full results, description of the event and photos, please visit kayakrevelstoke.wordpress.com.

A substantial medal haul was the outcome as 24 Aquaducks competed in the 54th annual BC Summer Swimming Championships in Naniamo on Aug. 17-19. Jaclyn Elliot, Devyn Gale, Hunter Stewardson and Megan Hoshizaki won bronze in the Girls Division 1 200m freestyle relay in what assistant coach Cynthia Pfeiffer called “a very exciting race”. Cynthia, along with sister Emily and team mates Nadia Salon and Gina Cinelli, took silver in both the 200 freestyle relay and 200 medley relay in girls Division 8. Another six golds, eight silvers and a bronze medal in individual events brought the total to 18, and the club finished 14th out of 70 clubs in the overall standings. “14th is a good result for our club – we are very pleased,” said Pfeiffer. Despite the long journey and intense competition, Revelstoke athletes recorded many personal bests and more than a dozen club records, some decades old, were broken. Nadia Salon, James Lebuke and Emily Pfeifer stood on the podium for all of their individual events. Overall, it was a very positive experience and terrific way to end the year. “There were a lot of terrific swims this weekend,” said head coach Jeff Beatty, who will stay on for at least another year and keep the Aquaducks improving during winter maintenance. Individual results are as follows:
Division 1: Jaclyn Elliot – 17th 50m backstroke (back); 11th 50m freestyle (free); 12th 100m frees Hunter Stewardson – 10th 50m breaststroke (breast) Alex Jay – 14th 100m individual medley (IM); 4th 50m frees; 6th 100m frees Tye Hoshizaki – 10th 50m breast Division 2: James Lebuke – 1st 50m free & 50m back; 2nd 50m breast & 100m free Caine McCabe – 21st 100m IM Nolan Gale – 9th 50m free, 16th 50m butterfly (fly), 15th 50m back Division 3: Beth Grandstrom – 7th 100m IM, 10th 50m free, 6th 50m back; 9th 100m free Colm Molder – 14th 50m breast Division 5: Gina Cinelli – 8th 200m IM, 15th 50m free, 4th 100m breast Anna Pfeiffer – 20th 100m breast Liam McCabe – 7th 50m free, 20th 100m beast Bryce Molder – 8th 200m IM, 6th 100m fly, 10th 50m fly, 10th 100m free Division 7: Cynthia Pfeiffer – 3rd 200m IM, 7th 50m free, 1st 100m back, 2nd 100m free Emily Pfeiffer – 1st, 200m IM & 100m fly; 2nd 50m fly & 100m breast Division 8: Nadia Salon – 2nd 50m free, 100m fly & 50m fly; 1st 100m free Rosemary Kelsall – 6th 100m back, 15th 50m free, 5th 100m breast Cam Molder – 11th 200m IM, 16th 100m back, 14th 100m fly Graham Gale – 15th 50m free, 14th – 50m fly
