City beautification project Great ‘no’ sign debate shines light on city decision-making How did Revelstoke city officials decide to paint much-derided ‘no’ signs without any consultation, then decide to study removing them just two days later? AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
Holly Hamilton (back) and Saelin and Loucious Cadieux give the new sidewalk signs at Third Street and Mackenzie Avenue their own touch with some nice chalk art. They were worried they would get in trouble for their work but it’s more likely they’ll be praised. They’re not the only ones — earlier in the day funeral director Gary Sulz touched up the signs outside Brandon Bowers at Second and Mackenzie. The ‘no’ signs went up on Tuesday with no announcement or public discussion and were largely derided as ugly and excessive. On Thursday the city started look at ways to remove them and the city’s chief administrator took responsibility for the signs. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review
Apparently the City of Revelstoke has decided that bicycles, skateboards and dogs are enough of a nuisance that residents need to be reminded of the rules — with loud ‘no’ stencils on every single corner downtown. Some corners have up to 24 of the ‘no’ signs sprayed around the intersection. The new signs are painted onto every street corner downtown, from Campbell Avenue to Orton Avenue and First Street to Third Street. They feature a trio of symbols — one saying dogs must be on leash, another for no skateboards, and the last one for no bicycles. The signs are a reminder that cycling and skateboarding aren’t allowed on sidewalks and dogs must be kept on leash. Skateboarding has been banned on sidewalks for many years, but it is allowed on city streets. Cycling is governed under the provincial Motor Vehicle Act and is prohibited on sidewalks, with the exception of young children. Dogs must be on leash except in designated off-leash areas; there are no offleash areas on any sidewalks or streets in Revelstoke. Mayor David Raven said the signs were a staff response to complaints about people violating the bylaws. “If people keep ignoring [the bylaws], you make them aware of it, I guess,” he said. “We have been getting lots of complaints of dogs not on leashes and bikes and skates on the sidewalks. It’s just a matter of time before somebody gets hurts.” Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce executive director Judy Goodman said their organization wasn’t consulted about the signage. “Wow!” was her first reaction. “It’s a lot. I had to ask what the skateboard was,” she said. She said the Chamber had worked with the city on a push to have graffiti removed downtown. More recently the Chamber advocated for a streamlined design review process after a local business struggled for over eight months to get their busi-

ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Revelstoke Tourism has taken on a brand new look with a new website that was unveiled Tuesday. Located at www.seerevelstoke.com, the new website provides a more modern and more functional design than the old one. The new website amalgamates all listings under one page, unlike the old site, which had separate winter and summer sections and sometimes didn’t have businesses listed in both. “The main goal was to amalgamate the two sites into one,” said Meghan Tabor, the co-ordinator of Revelstoke Tourism. “It was very convoluted having the same information on the summer and winter sites.” Another goal was making the site more user friendly and making sure every business was listed in the right category. The site has drop-down menus for accommodation, dining and nightlife, attractions, activities, shopping options, and an ‘About Revelstoke’ section. Some businesses are listed in multiple categories where appropriate. “We’re just trying to make it clear and concise and user-friendly to all demographics,” said Tabor. The site features the Revelstoke Tourism logo at the top left, with the slogan ‘Close to heaven, down to earth’ at the top right. The backdrop of the site is of a snowy mountain range. The home page features a video by Zoya Lynch about summer recreation in Revelstoke, with shots of people biking, climbing, hiking, skateboarding, fishing, and

more, set to the song Home by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. The video is one in a series highlighting Revelstoke that Lynch has been contracted to produce. Others will look at winter recreation, attractions, arts & culture, family fun, and history & heritage. Once the series is finished a highlight video of the best of Revelstoke will be featured on the home page. The home page also features links to Revelstoke Tourism’s Twitter and Facebook pages, and to StokeFM. The website has been under development since January and is still a work-inprogress, said Tabor. “It’s constantly going to be changing. What we’re releasing now is the raw version of what it is. I’m hoping to continue to develop the content. I’m
Screen image
going to be working on search engine optimization and getting the members in their right places, bolstering our photo database to get more photos up there.” Each section will feature a large photo of one business, with thumbnails of the others in that category. The large photo will change every time. “It’s just a matter of getting all our ducks in a row and getting access to all those different photographs to keep the site fresh and make sure everyone has a good presence on the site,” said Tabor. The Chamber of Commerce is also working on a new website of its own that will focus more on businesses than tourism. It will be hosting a social event on Wednesday, Sept. 19, during which it will showcase its 2013 marketing plan.
No two kids are alike. That’s what makes teaching both a challenge and a joy. It’s also why each student needs – and deserves – more of our time. Teachers will be working hard to give them that time. And together with parents, we’ll be urging government to help. Years of cuts have led to overcrowded classes. Our kids desperately need smaller classes, better support for students with special needs, and more one-on-one time. Every child matters. And every year counts.
Smaller classes, better support for kids with special needs, and more one-on-one time. THAT’S WHAT OUR STUDENTS DESERVE.

Sign decision a mystery; CAO takes blame from page 1 ness sign approved by the city. Goodman said the Chamber hadn’t received any complaints from member businesses about bicycling or skateboarding on city sidewalks. Off-leash dogs have been an issue for some businesses, she said. Apparently, the city’s internal sign approval process is very streamlined. The Times Review attends all regular council meetings. To the best of our recollection, the decision to spray paint ‘no’ signs all over downtown was never an agenda item, or discussed publicly. “Way to spend money,” was Society Snow & Skate owner Karl Jost’s first reaction. “I think it looks terrible.” The skateboard shop owner preferred the city focus on ways of reducing taxes for small businesses. Jost thought the dog on-leash sign was also superfluous. “What’s with the dog? Yes, you’re allowed to walk your dog downtown?” he asked rhetorically. “We’re not Nelson.” Over at Skookum Cycle & Ski, employee Adam Jarvis was helping a customer at the front door. “Do they really need that many?” Jarvis asked, “A sign on a post may have been more attractive.” He felt the six ‘no’ signs on each corner of Mackenzie and First Avenue marred the otherwise pleasing aesthetic created by the flower planters. Jarvis agreed bicycles belong on the road, not the sidewalk. Jarvis also felt the dog sign was a little confusing; lined up next to the other two signs, the dog leash looks a little like a slash — which gave him the initial impression that it meant ‘no dogs.’ He wondered if the signs couldn’t have waited until spring as the biking and skating seasons are drawing to an end. There are six signs out front of Wearabouts clothing store’s corner entrance. Senior sales assistant Vittoria van Leur supports the signs. “It’s about time,” she said. They will, “remind people to be conscious of other people. I think it’s sad they have to do that.” She worried about children or
nication before city staff painted the permanent signs. So, does this mean they’re going away? Not exactly. City of Revelstoke chief administrative officer Tim Palmer – the boss of all city staff – said the ‘no’ sign debacle will land on city council’s lap at their Sept. 11 meeting. The removal experiment was being done, “in anticipation of possible options that council may ask of staff,” he said. If council wants them removed, he wants to know if it’s possible and how much it will cost. He added the removal cost is unknown. “I don’t know that yet,” he said. “I’ll probably have an answer available for that on Tuesday.” He said the cost to paint the signs was less than $1,000. So, how did the signs get approved in the first place? “That’s a very good question,” Palmer said. “There was no doubt a hiccup in the communications with this and that’s something that I’m investigating internally as to the communications. There was good intentions, but it was not communicated very well with either council, or amongst staff or the community.” Palmer said signage approval was in a grey area. The Public Works department puts up signs, but anything that is traffic control-related must be approved by the Engineering department. Bylaw enforcementrelated signs are initiated by the Planning department. “That’s probably an area that we need to have a little bit more dialogue [about] so that there’s better clarity moving forward.” Palmer said the decision stood in contrast to other controversial issues that were communicated effectively, giving examples like downtown tree removal, bike lanes and bicycle sharrows. “Those were good examples. Without a doubt things broke down a little bit on this particular decision to put those signs on.” Palmer said another idea that may be discussed at city council on Sept. 11 is the idea of subjecting city signage to the city’s design review committee. That committee reviews
elderly people getting injured, saying both youths and adults flaunt the rules about skating or biking on the sidewalks. “I think it’s disrespectful and very dangerous.” Montrealer John Wood came to Revelstoke to visit family. He couldn’t help noticing the hubbub about the new signs, overhearing some complaints just after they were sprayed on. “It’s kind of a free and easy town — they don’t like rules,” he observed. “I can see the point of it,” Wood said, adding the signs were a little hard to read if you approached them from the upside-down perspective. “I thought it was an iguana,” Wood said of the no skateboarding sign. Downtown business owner and dog owner Frank Fik tweeted about the new spray paint outside of his business. He also interpreted the sign to mean ‘no dogs.’ “Apparently we can no longer walk our dogs downtown on a leash,” he tweeted. In a subsequent clarifying tweet, he wondered if an alternate graphic would have been better, suggesting “a little brown pile with the bar through it.” When asked about complaints about the look of the spray-painted signs, Mayor Raven said it showed people were noticing them. “Are they as attractive as they could be? Probably not, but how do you get the message across?”
CITY CAO CONCEDES MISTAKES WERE MADE Revelstoke City Hall is testing out ways to remove the ‘no’ bike, skateboard and off-leash dog signs it painted on downtown sidewalks last Tuesday. A Times Review reader spotted a city staff member grinding away at one of the ‘no’ signs at the corner of Second Street and Orton Avenue on Thursday, two days after they were spray-painted on.. Gauging from reaction on the street, a majority of residents feel they are ugly, unnecessary and unwelcoming. They were upset there had been no consultation or commu-

applications for new signage and other development. The committee can suggest changes and alterations or withhold approval. Recently, council has ordered a review of the design review committee process to make it more business friendly. The review came after complaints, lobbying by the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce, and the case of one business owner
waiting more than eight months for a sign approval. I asked Palmer if someone was going to get thrown under the bus for the ‘no’ signs: “Collectively, I’ll take the responsibility of ensuring that we communicate better because I feel that as staff that we have failed the community and council on this. And I take that responsibility,” he said.

Capsule Comments With David Lafreniere Acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol®) is the most commonly used painkiller in the world. It is also found in combination with other products like those medicines for coughs and colds, menstrual pain and muscle relaxants. Too much acetaminophen is bad for us and can damage the liver. Read the labels on all the medication you take to ensure you aren’t exceeding daily dose
levels of 4000 mg. Flossing is difficult to do for some people so they don’t do it regularly. But flossing is an important part of good dental hygeine. Brushing gets rid of surface bacteria but only flossing can get between the teeth where you can’t reach with your toothbrush. It takes only 36 hours for plaque, the main cause of gum disease, to harden on your teeth.
Flossing will stop this. If you aren’t already, be a flosser. Flu season is coming. We often get asked if a pregnant woman should have a flu shot and the answer is yes. Flu vaccine is an inactivated or killed vaccine so it will cause no problem to the mother or the baby. A deficiency of iron can affect brain function negatively and this is
especially important in adolescents whose brains are still actively developing. Building a good nutrition awareness in our children is an important parental responsibility.

A one-day strike on Wednesday, Sept. 5 has seen 27,000 unionized government workers walk off the job in a bid to apply more pressure in negotiations with the province. In Revelstoke, pickets were up at the BC Liquor Store, the transportation ministry office on First Street West and the forests ministry office in the Big Eddy. Courts, jails, ICBC offices and government liquor stores are among more than 1,700 affected worksites, although essential services will be maintained. The Sept. 5 job action was ordered by leaders of the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union (BCGEU), the Professional Employees Association and the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union. “We do not take this action lightly,” said BCGEU president Darryl Walker. “There will be no more falling behind for government workers.” The BCGEU is seeking a 3.5 per cent pay hike this year and a cost of living increase in 2013, following the expiry of its last contract on March 31. The province had offered two per cent in the first year and 1.5 per cent in the second – a package Victoria has since taken off the table. The union contends its members lost ground against inflation over the past two years due to the previous contract signed in 2010 under a net-zero mandate as B.C. was struggling to recover from recession. “We took two zeros in 2010 and 2011 that really look at a wage cut of around five per cent when you look at the cost of living,” Walker said. The government has countered it made a fair and reasonable offer given that B.C. remains under fiscal pressure due to the lacklustre global economy. Smaller single-day strikes have been staged at more selective public sector targets earlier this summer. The BCGEU has also proposed fiscal reforms such as Sunday liquor store openings and the use of sheriffs for traffic enforcement. — with notes from Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review
Permanent Lake Revelstoke camping, sled sheds targeted in blitz Two-week maximum policy designed to prevent permanent summer camping on Lake Revelstoke; also targets illegal sled and ski bum sheds AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations officials blitzed the Kootenays over the Labour Day long weekend, looking for infractions like unattended campfires, environmental violations, illegal logging and illegal occupation of Crown land. Locally, the thrust of the enforcement blitz focussed on camping along Lake Revelstoke, reinforcing an initiative to make the patchwork of prime lakeside spots on Crown land more fairly accessible. Setting up a summer camp has long been a summer tradition for locals and visitors alike. Hardcore campers stake out a spot in late spring and occupy it until the fall. Some build semi-permanent structures, including snow roofs for campers, cabins, boat docks and even gardens. The situation led to fairness complaints – those who didn’t get
there early enough felt shut out of the prime waterfront property. Gerald Hills, the Resource Compliance Supervisor with the Revelstoke-based Columbia Field Unit, said the long weekend blitz reinforced a new system implemented last year. The new policy for Lake Revelstoke — and other similar lakeside Crown land used for camping near Cranbrook and Golden — is a two-week maximum. “Two weeks. You don’t have to go home, but you have to go somewhere else,” Hills told the Times Review. “It just opens up those prime spots [so] someone else can camp there. We’re not saying you can’t camp all summer ... you just can’t camp in one spot.” He said it was acceptable if campers moved away for a few days, then came back. He said the new system caused “rumblings” when it was introduced last year, but also “lots of good feedback from the public.”
The issue also extends to a number of backcountry snowmobile or ski sheds in the area. Aside from being illegal, Hills said the issue is the old trailers or campers often fall into disrepair and are then abandoned. In keeping with the policy, enforcement officers issued a number of trespass notices on permanent structures like snow roofs over the long weekend. They warn the owners to remove them by a certain date or they could be seized by Crown authorities. Hills didn’t have the number of warnings issued readily available. The enforcement blitz also uncovered other infractions, including minor instances of illegal logging, unattended campfires, and discharging trailer holding tanks directly into the lake, “It is public land,” Hills said. “We want it to be available for everybody and it’s just not fair when someone takes ownership of a piece that’s everybody’s.”

A school system to be proud of...
COMMUNITY COMMENT BY ANNE COOPER
Another school year is underway. This year we celebrated the opening of our glorious Begbie View Elementary School. Many citizens will recall that this school opening culminates our two-school closure plan that we set in place in 2002 with the closure of Big Eddy Elementary School. Fewer facilities will support sustaining the level of programs and services that the district currently enjoys. Fewer facilities, especially with the condition of the two new schools, also makes it possible to now invest in our two older elementary facilities, Columbia Park and Arrow Heights. Despite the declining enrollment in our district over the past decade, from 1,600 students to 1,000 students, our Board has placed the budget priority squarely on services to children in our schools. This focus has brought about phenomenal success. Our small little community boasts the highest graduation rates in the province over the past two years. Our children in grades four and seven are reading in the top five per cent of their peers provincially. Children with unique needs have programs and services unheard of in many communities. Our students are respect-

ful, caring and responsible citizens in our schools. The partnerships that we have forged to support early learners have paid off immensely, with Revelstoke’s children being the least vulnerable in the province for the past eight years. The support that our community provides young children and their families makes the difference for them being successful in school, rather than struggling with school. Community literacy initiatives support all of our learners, K-12 and beyond. We are now finalizing our Performing Arts Center management plan with our colleagues from the Revelstoke Arts Council and look forward to an outstanding relationship to utilize this facility to its
fullest. Begbie View Elementary houses a brand new early learning hub, which opened on Monday, Sept. 10, a real asset to sustain the work we are doing in early learning. Another Neighborhood Learning Center space for gymnastics will open the following week and we are looking forward to our partnership with the Revelstoke Acrobats to ensure that our children and youth have opportunities that many of their counterparts in other small communities can only dream of. Yes, it is a school system we all can be proud of. Anne Cooper has been the superintendent of the Revelstoke School District since 1999. She is retiring at the end of the current school year.

Walker, a forester with Parks Canada. “The larvae – the little caterpillars – do the deforestation of the trees. The moths are little flying, breeding units.� So, is this something to be worried about? According to Walker, this may only the start of an outbreak that could peak next year. “We’re seeing some moths but we’re not seeing the number you would see if you were expecting an enormous population outbreak,� he said. “People who were around in the summer of 2003, and I was so I remember
this, there were ten-times as many moths as there is this summer. They were absolutely thick.� On Wednesday he conducted an aerial survey of Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks to examine the extent of the outbreak. What they uncovered was that there was light defoliation in pockets, and it was worse in Glacier National Park. “I’m not really worried about it unless it has an impact on somebody’s property or something substantive like that,� said Walker.
Classic Collision gets Tractor tour back on road ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Tractor, the cross-Canada tour seeking to raise awareness of farming issues, has finally found a way out of Revelstoke, after almost two weeks stalled in town. Robert Smith from Classic Collision offered to transport the tractor, trailer and its two occupants from Revelstoke to the Tsawwassen ferry terminal near Vancouver. John Varty, a university professor, and his partney Molley Daley, were nearing the end of their seven month journey when they were stopped by the RCMP near Albert Canyon. After two days there, they made it to Revelstoke on Aug. 29, where they
were told by ICBC they would be able to receive a special permit to finish their journey. However, conditions were added, including one that required them to use a pilot car for the rest of their drive – something they couldn’t afford. Even then, they never even received the permit from ICBC, said Varty. “It has become even more frustrating because even if we did come up with the money and carry on driving and interviewing B.C. farmers, the permit never came,� he said Monday morning. Varty and Daley are producing a documentary about the plight of Canadian farmers and agricultural issues in Canada. “This means we won’t be interviewing any farmers other than on Vancouver Island,� said Varty.
Smith said he would be supplying a deck truck and pay the wages from one of their drivers to take the Varty, Daley and their tractor to Tsawwassen. “It’s because I think they’re getting a real raw deal by Ministry of Transportation and ICBC and we can’t leave them sitting here forever. This is one way to solve the issue,� he said. “I’m very sympathetic to the issue because of the fact I was raised on a farm. I lived on a farm until I was 14-years-old and I realize how tough farmers have it.� They were scheduled to leave Tuesday morning, after press time. Varty said he has made arrangements with a farmer on Vancouver Island to be able to complete his documentary there.

Attack of the Hemlock Looper! Well, it’s not really an attack. It’s more of an infestation of sorts and a nuisance at most. Those small, brownish moths all over town are the hemlock looper – a moth that appears about once every ten years, spreads like crazy and then dies off almost as quickly. The larvae of the hemlock looper like to feed on foliage and in an outbreak year hordes of them will feast on the tree tops, damaging the trees and potentially killing them. Foresters view looper outbreaks, which occur about once a decade, as a natural aspect of forest health. Recently, the moths have been spotted all over the place in Revelstoke. There were dozens of them on the walls outside the Times Review office throughout the week, sparking our curiosity as to how severe the outbreak was this summer. “What the moths mean to us is that the defoliation of the forest is over for the year,� said Gregg

Cosmetic Tips by Kim Remesz, Cosmetics Manager Hyperpigmentation is a common, usually harmless condition in which patches of skin become darker in colour than the normal surrounding skin. This darkening occurs when an excess of melanin, the brown pigment that produces normal skin colour, forms deposits in the skin. Hyperpigmentation can affect the skin colour of people of any race.
“mask of pregnancy” on the face and darkened skin on the abdomen and other areas. Women who take birth control pills may also develop hyperpigmentation because their bodies undergo similar kind of hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy. If someone is really bothered by the pigment, the birth control pills should be stopped.
Age or “liver” spots are a common form of hyperpigmentation. They occur due to sun damage, and are referred to by doctors as solar lentigines. These small, darkened patches are usually found on the hands and face or other areas frequently exposed to the sun.
Changes in skin colour can result from outside causes. For example, skin diseases such as acne may leave dark spots after the condition clears. Other causes of dark spots are injuries to the skin, including some surgeries. Freckles are small brown spots that can appear anywhere on the body, but are most common on the face and arms. Freckles are an inherited characteristic.
Melasma or chloasma spots are similar in appearance to age spots but are larger areas of darkened skin that appear most often as a result of hormonal changes. Pregnancy, for example, can trigger overproduction of melanin that causes the
Freckles, age spots, and other darkened skin patches can become darker or more pronounced when skin is exposed to the sun. This happens because melanin
absorbs the energy of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays in order to protect the skin from overexposure. The usual result of this process is skin tanning, which tends to darken areas that are already hyperpigmented. Wearing a sunscreen is a must. The sunscreen must be “broad spectrum” (i.e. it blocks both UVA and UVB). There are many topical products on the market with active ingredients such as Hydroquinone (HQ) 2%-4%, Kojic Acid (2%), Glycolic Acid (5%-10%), to help fade and slow the production of melanin. The active ingredients must be a certain percent of the product for it to be effective. Just as it took time to form hyper pigmented areas it will take time to notice results (in some cases up to 24 weeks). At Pharmasave we carry multiple products to help with hyper pigmentation and would very much like to find one that will work for you.

Bienvenue à l’École des Glaciers ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
It might have been overshadowed by the opening of Begbie View Elementary, but for the students, parents and staff at École des Glaciers, Revelstoke’s new French school, there was just as much excitement in class on Thursday. “I’m really excited but really confident and super happy for this project because we’ve been waiting for a couple years,” said Julie Martel, the school’s lone teacher. École des Glaciers opened on Thursday with 10 students from kindergarten to grade two registered – less than expected – but still enough. They, along with their parents, and staff from the Francophone School Board of B.C., were in a celebratory mood for the opening. “I’m very, very proud as superintendent of schools that this happening,” said Mario Cyr, the superintendent of the Francophone School Board. “I’m confident it will grow and the whole community will be proud of it.” The school is the board’s 37th in the province. They brought out cake, coffee, fruit and juice for the opening. Radio Canada, the Frenchlanguage arm of the CBC sent a reporter to Revelstoke to cover the opening of École des Glaciers.

For the parents, the opening marked the culmination of years of work to establish a French school in Revelstoke. After years of dashed hopes, they finally gained enough interest in the community for the school to open. Pierre Claveau, the spokesperson for the school board, said he expects the school will grow to 40–50 students within the next five years. “There’s an, ‘If you build it, they will come factor,’” he said. In future years more grades will be added as the school grows. Martel was part of the group of parents trying to get the school established and she has two sons
in the class. She taught high school in Quebec before moving to Canmore, Alta. There, she taught a similarly small French school in a majority Anglophone community. That school grew from 25 students to more than 100 in her six years there. She will be assisted in her teaching duties by Marieve Poirier-Payette. The new school is located in a spare classroom inside Arrow Heights Elementary. Martel said she will look at ways of collaborating with the other school on projects. “We’ll learn from them and they’ll learn from us,” she said.

First day of school at Begbie View Elementary ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
The excitement was palpable outside Begbie View Elementary this morning as students, parents and staff waited for their first look inside the new school. It was back-to-school day in Revelstoke today, and for the 230 students and their parents it was the first day at the brand new, $15.4-million school. Outside they milled about, enjoying coffee and muffins as they awaited the 10 a.m. alarm and the opening of the school doors. There was no alarm – instead the doors quietly opened and everyone entered through the double-doors in a fairly orderly manner. There was no crush of kids looking to be first. Everyone filed into the gym where they were greeted by principal Shan Jorgensen-Adam.

applause. Jorgensen-Adam also introduced the school’s motto: “Grow together and be our best.” It was the product of conversations with the students, parents and staff that were in the room. “We heard worries when we
talked to you last year that you wanted to feel safe. That you wanted to be respected and have people be kind. That you wanted caring and fairness. That you wanted people who were responsible and good citizens, that were honest, that showed courage, that did their best, that were empathetic to others, that our school was a community and that we can co-operate together and be creative,” she said. “We heard all of those things and so we’re hoping as the school year begins and we continue on our way, that we will all grow together and be our best.” Finally, she read from the book, Back to School Rules, while the students sat restless in front of her, with that nervous excitement that permeates all kids on the first day of school — amplified by the new environment. The students then went with their teachers to their classrooms. For kindergarten students, it was the first day of school ever. Most will spend their entire grade school education in Revelstoke’s two new facilities. For higher grades, they went off to new classrooms – their first look at the rest of the amazing new building.

Kelowna resident says sidewalk signs take lustre off gem of a downtown area Editor, I recently visited Revelstoke to see some friends. I came for a visit, from Kelowna B.C., once at the end of July and just recently this second weekend of September. I was in absolute shock to find that the City had painted very forbidding signs
on the sidewalks. I am sure many know what I am speaking of, as I learned these signs have become quite the topic about town, and there is certainly evidence demonstrating the community is resisting the wisdom of these signs. When I first came to visit Revelstoke at
www.revelstoketimesreview.com
L ET T ER S the end of July, I felt I discovered a gem of a mountain community. The museum was celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, a roller derby event was being hosted that evening and downtown there was live street music. I felt the community was interesting and engag-
ing! So for my return visit I was truly excited to come back to Revelstoke, the warm and creative community in the mountains! Put on the brakes, something has happened, hooligans have taken over and the city has been forced to paint the sidewalks. All of a sudden the city did not feel inviting or safe. I did not enjoy my stroll through the community and opted to
enjoy the greenbelt. I am sorry to see that the residents have to contend with poor decision making and consultation process of their city and council, that will most likely result in more tax dollars spent to remove a very glaring and unnecessary way to calm unwanted sidewalk traffic. Sheila Lewis Kelowna, B.C.

Reader pans ‘no left’ idea for Mutas & Victoria Editor, Re: McDonald’s Restaurant expansion plans linked to traffic issues, News, Sept. 5. How did City Staff come up with their proposed solution for the (summer only) traffic problem that exists on Victoria Road just on the Trans-Canada side of the railroad underpass? I don’t want to imply they were just sitting around the office smoking something expensive but I’m damned sure they didn’t get out and ask for advice from those that will be most affected. To access A&W or McDonald’s from town, the faithful will have to drive up the narrow service road past Subway, turn west on Highway 1 then left onto Victoria or else cross the Columbia on the old bridge, then back on the TransCanada bridge then right onto Victoria. The report already described getting back into town from Timmy’s. Let’s go green, eh! Will I also have to follow these contortions if I’m riding my bicycle? Please mark bike lanes so I don’t get lost. And those are minor problems only faced by us in private vehicles. I asked one trucker what he thought of going around a traffic circle near the Nomad to get back onto the highway. His answer was 53-foot trailers need a lot of room and that they’d better be right on top of snow clearing in the winter or the tow truck owners are going to be very happy. There are often a lot of freight trucks parked near McDonald’s and A&W. Perhaps city planning should get out of the office and ask the drivers for some workable solutions. If there really is a serious problem that requires yet another taxpayer loan to cure, let’s do it right. Why not build the solution where the problem is. The bears and a few trees might have to be shifted, but there should be room for a roundabout right where the “problem” is or perhaps we could tunnel a couple of more lanes under the railroad?

Race winner David Gonda sizes up the very last corner before the straight to the summit finish at the 2012 Revelstoke Steamer bike race up Mt. Revelstoke Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review held Sunday, Sept. 9.
The Landscape Reflected
AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
David Gonda set a new record in the Mount Revelstoke Steamer, racing up the Meadows in the Sky Parkway in a time of 1:09:13 on Sunday under ideal conditions — sunny with cooler temperatures and no wind. Gonda took 20 seconds off the course record that was set last year by 56-year-old Olav Stana. Stana, meanwhile, defended his title in the men’s 40+ age category in a time of 1:12:14. On the women’s side, Jacuie Coward won the women’s race in a time of 1:35:50, while Laura Dyer won the women’s 40+ category in a time of 1:36:32. The oldest competitor in the race was 74-year-old Kelowna racer Eric Rayson, who was attending the race for the third time. His time of 1:45:75 beat his previous best in 2010. He finished ahead of competitors decades his junior. What’s his advice for tackling the daunting 26-kilometre climb? “Just keep pedalling. You can’t stop or otherwise you’ll seize up,” he said. Rayson said he comes to the race to visit friends and because he loves the town. “It’s a fantastic ... area; I really like Revelstoke – a real outdoorsy town. If I were 10 years younger I’d move here.”

The Revelstoke snowboard community is showcased in MHC Films’ new Haggered Soldiers video, which premiered at the River City Pub on Sept. 8. The video was a labour of love for producer, director and editor Kenton Pauls of Manitoba Hard Core Films. The mill worker moved to Revelstoke about four years ago and fell into the right crowd, he said. He filmed the video for the past two years, chasing a cast of local riders on missions up Sale Mountain, Boulder Mountain, McCrae, and lots of filming at RMR. Pauls told the Times Review he wanted to make a film highlighting the
Revelstoke snowboarding lifestyle — a laid back, fun-focused scene heavy on friends and good times. “Everyone out here’s just having fun dropping powder,” Pauls said. “Everyone just feeds off of everyone.” Haggered Soldiers (sic — or the Urban Dictionary definition if you will) is heavy on deep powder charging and natural cliff drops, and the party-focused lifestyles of the riders. The premiere was a party for sure, bringing out representatives from the many businesses that lined up as sponsors, including MHC Films, The Business Limited, The Mad Foundation Tattoo, Somewon Snow, Society Snow & Skate, Revelstoke Snowed Inn and DUI Clothing.

Taylor Roberts earned the opening spot with the skateboarding-heaviest part, hitting all of Revelstoke’s limited, rough spots — in addition to dismantling the city’s dated, worn and aging skatepark. His snow part featured big drops, 540s and rail press to flips. Eddie Edmonds’ skateboard highlights included big hippie jumps and a caveman down the Revelstoke City Hall handrail. Charles Morin opened with a layback slide across an alpine lake. His part featured big alpine hits, drop-ins and some big slams. His part featured big 180s, powder lines and a drop in on the Sandon Museum roof. Jean Michaud’s part included big alpine lines, rail work and a flurry of rotations at the S-Games jumps. His part is heavy on backcountry powder lines and ends with a big drop into an avalanche. Keeping with the friends and family focus, threeyear-old Eldyn Pauls starts at the bunny hill, takes some bangs and learns to sled. Sean Barrett begins his intro with a staged dive off of Society Snow & Skate and puts down a part including big 360s and lots of cliff hucks. Al Clark and John Todds take the bindings off and ride Trout Lake clear-cut spots. A friends section features Chris Curran, Jordan Elias on rails; a jump by Party Mike Moynihan (who took in the premiere while laying on his back on the stage); Scott Heale, Scott McFarlane, Lucas Robinson riding rails; Kenton Pauls NoBoarding; Ryan Lavis, Emily Ernst, Jesse Hughes, Jonathan Sullivan and Keith Martin. Young rider Ben Rodd’s enthusiasm and excitement was evident in his jumps, hips, some big hits — you could really tell he was just having fun doing it. A D.O.P.E. Crew interlude was the first of two groups of guest riders. The section featured lots of Calgary rail riding. It features Alex Stathis, Layne Treeter, Mike Rudy, Derek Molinski, Tanner Davidson (who chomped up a huge triple kink), James Beacher, Kael Hill and E-Man Anderson. Matt Butel’s short part featured creative lines and spots, wall rides and stylish tweaks. Mitch Crowshaw’s urban parts, rails, big 50-50s, a gap-to-rail and a double-kink 360-out over the third. The second team collaboration featured riders from The Business Limited, a Kelowna-based videography and design collective. Rider Sean Dolan takes a hard slam dropping in on a train tunnel air, does 50-50 to 360 off a wall and jumps the shed in Farwell Park. Kyle Radawetz’s part features rails and rail drops. Corey Kowalski nose presses an actual tank 180-out. James Decaires lands an impressive wall ride to big 180 drop out. Colton Shaule earned the second to last part with reckless drops, cliff drops into sketchy too-fast tree lines,

rotations, 540 gaps and flips. Seb Grondin earned the ender. His part features alpine ridge hiking, big gap drops, hips and some big slams — he took a run at the Big Eddy pumphouse gap, coming up short against the wall of the far ditch. His ender was a huge 540.
MY TAKE Haggered Soldiers is a great documentary of snowboard life in the hills around Revelstoke circa 2010–12. The enthusiasm needed to gather and wrap up all those riders into one film is very considerable. Haggered Soldiers underscores the fun, freewheeling life — good times with good friends. Yes, they filmed on cloudy days, and no, the colours weren’t digitally retouched with this year’s hue pallette. The video is more substance than style; isn’t it better if substance is style?
SALES SUPPORT NON-PROFITS The 45-minute video went on sale this week. It’s available at Society Snow & Skate in Revelstoke, Pinz in Salmon Arm, Coastal Riders, Rude Boys and more. $2.50 from each video purchased will go to the Columbia Valley Skateboarding Association’s Revelstoke skatepark fund and an additional $2.50 will go to the Daniel Levesque Memorial Scholarship.

Lots of changes when Grizz open season at home on Friday last year was a surprise. “He was probably the first guy I got back and I was quite shocked,” said Kraus. “He was one kid I was not planning on having come back.” Up front, there are more question marks. TJ Christensen, Riley Creighton and Kent Hendrickson, who made up the fourth line last year, are all returning; as are Austin Donaldson and Tyler Reay. Beyond that, there are lots of new faces. In Friday’s game, the Grizzlies most dangerous line was that of Donaldson, Dallas Flockhart and Jordan Holloway. They generated chances almost every time they were on the ice and Holloway score twice. Kraus said they are currently pencilled in as the top line, “Until someone changes my mind.” Reay, the team’s lone 20-year-old, centred the second line between big-man Tao Camisso and small-but-skilled Bungo Mizusaki. Locals Chevy Hantula, Brodie Buhler and Eric Austin comprised the third unit. Hantula and Buhler, both 16, made the team while Austin was cut and will be looking to land on a team elsewhere in the KIJHL. “From what I understand he’s going to try to stay in the league somewhere else for now,” said Kraus. Cody Hendrickson, the third local rookie, skated on the fourth line with Creighton and Keegan Mitchell. Of the local rookies, Kraus said they would be energy players for the team. All three of them are first year guys and I expect them to work hard, come to play every night, bring lots of energy and be physical.”
ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Some people are calling the upcoming Revelstoke Grizzlies season a re-building one, but coach Kevin Kraus is hoping it doesn’t turn out that way. “At the moment it looks like it but I don’t want it to be,” Kraus told the Times Review Monday morning. “We lost pretty much our top three lines from last year. We lost two big 20-year-old defencemen. It could have the rails of being a rebuilding year but I don’t want to say it is. “I like to shoot for the stars and keep going for the top of the league. I want to be the best in our division and go from there.” The Revelstoke Grizzlies open their season at home this Friday, Sept. 14, against the Chase Heat. Kraus made the comments after the Grizzlies played their two exhibition games against the Sicamous Eagles. At home on Friday, the teams tied 3-3, while the Eagles won the second game in Sicamous 6-4. (Note: box scores were unavailable for both games, so no roster was available for Saturday’s game). Kraus said the line-up was mostly set for opening night against the Chase Heat in Revelstoke on Friday, but he is looking to add one or two more forwards. “I think we’re strong in goalies and the back end,” he said. “Up front we’re going to be a fast, physical, hard forechecking team. I don’t think we’re going to be as skilled as

last year but I could change that and bring in some guys.” There will be lots of new faces in the Grizzlies line-up this year, especially in the forward ranks. In net, last year’s back-up Conrad MacMillan will be joined by Aaron Brandoli, who was acquired from the North Okanagan Knights last week for future consideration. On defence, Braden Seyl, Tyler Bolduc and Darnel St. Pierre all played in Friday’s
exhibition game. They were joined by rookies Chase Anchikoski, Aaron Benjaminsen and Draden Androsoff. There is also the possibility of veterans Adam Pulliam and Andrew Standish joining the team, should they not make the cut in Junior A. “I have the possibility of having five returning d-men so we could be very strong on the back end,” said Kraus. The return of the hard-hitting St. Pierre, who scored 24 points in 40 games as a rookie

In Memory of
Hello Babe: That time of year again, where the memories of you unfold. Given there is nothing I can do about it, or so I have been told, if it’s wrong to love you, then wrong I’ll always be. I can’t change my heart either, you were a part of me. Day began as have many others, sun slowly broke the dawn, I reach out and touch the morning, enjoy the dew upon the lawn. Season it is changing, I see the leaves as they begin to fall. Sitting in this old house we shared, gazing out the window, I recall feeling time should make it better, mostly just makes me curse. Accepting it was supposed to be this way, just seems to make it worse Coming to that crossroads of life, one I’m reluctant to think about. I’m praying for wisdom, to yield to peacefulness beyond a trace of doubt. Mostly I gently embrace my dreams, my hopes, my emptiness and my fears. Challenge I shall, each day, as I have this past seven years. Would wish it known before my long road comes to an end, you weren’t just my wife, you were a solemn friend. I do remember you. K.A.

Land Act: Notice of Intention to Apply for a Disposition of Crown Land FrontCounter BC Cranbrook has accepted an application made by Canadian Mountain Holidays Inc. of Banff, AB, on behalf of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO), Kootenay Region, to amend their existing License of Occupation for the purpose of additional heli-ski terrain situated on Provincial Crown land near Seymour River and Bigmouth Creek and containing 10,073 hectares more or less.
The 15th annual Little Bear soccer tournament was a tremendous success. Forty-four youth soccer teams from B.C. and Alberta enjoyed a great weekend of soccer and Revelstoke hospitality. Parents of the Revelstoke teams do a great job of looking after things like nets, corner flags, keeping results and providing information for our guests. In addition to the soccer, we held a skills competition Saturday night that attracted a crowd of several hundred people to watch the players demonstrate their ball juggling ability and penalty shot taking skills. Congratulations to Ben McDonald of Revelstoke who had the best ball juggling time of all participants (he was in the U12 division!) Saturday night also saw several hundred players and family members show up for the pool party. A big thank you to the City of Revelstoke for delaying their maintenance shut down so this extremely popular tournament event could take place. The city did a fantastic job with field preparation and tournament support. Organizer Alan Chell expects 2013 will be even bigger and better as we will be able to utilize the two new school fields and this will enable us to accommodate even more teams and provide

The three-day event on the Labour Day weekend was once again a great success, with 124 men and women from all points of B.C. and Southern Alberta.
