Paraglider makes Revelstoke to Golden flight Group of 5 Revelstoke pilots attempt secondever eastbound crossing; one makes it. AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
Revelstoke paraglider Dave Sproule has become the second person (and first Revelstokian) to pilot his aircraft from Revelstoke to Golden, taking advantage of good conditions last month to make the 100-kilometre, 4.5-hour, daring flight. Sproule departed from the Mount Mackenzie alpine along with local riders Jeff Bellis, Chris Delworth, Dave Edgar and Alan Polster on Aug. 11. The men form the core of a small local paragliding scene who are most often seen “bobbing” down from the ski hill to the R/C field landing site. Sproule said the five took advantage of a tailwind above Mt. Mackenzie to glide over Twin Butte towards Albert Canyon. Polster and Delworth were forced to drop out early, but Bellis, Edgar and Sproule made it over Rogers Pass, with Edgar dropping out shortly after. Sproule described flying past alpine peaks at elevations reaching 3,900 meters (13,000 feet). “It’s a pretty committing crossing,” he said, noting unlike routes over developed areas, there’s few places to touch down. “You get pretty deep in there.” Temperatures drop well below zero, and gliders wear their heaviest winter gear to deal with the chill and the winds. “We both surfed up the side of Sir Donald,” Sproule said. “It got pretty gnarly at one point. I was just getting these bullet thermals.” Sproule described several hairy moments as he scraped past summits. Sudden wind changes caused his wings to collapse a few times, sending him into a controlled fall from as little as 1,000 feet above the alpine. It was a “bit of a rodeo ... It can get kind of rough,” he said. “There are times when you’re definitely on edge, you’re getting rocked around.” Bellis almost made it all the way to Golden, landing in a remote area just north of the town. Gliders use knowledge and experience to

read conditions in order to string together updrafts to keep them in the air. Picture the sky as a lava lamp; you’re trying to spiral around in the blobs floating to the top, while avoiding the surrounding fluid heading down. You’re reading the weather and terrain, searching for features to exploit – such as sun-exposed rock – that will produce the updrafts.
Cross-country paragliders use a small battery of electronic devices that forecast weather, plot their location, communicate with fellow paragliders and ground support, and plot their speed and elevation. Sproule, 36, is a family man. On weekdays, he’s employed in the comparatively more mundane fields of heli-ski guiding in the winter and tree falling in summers. Years spent in helicopters above the Revelstoke area have given him an intimate knowledge of the terrain from the sky. Sproule said many of the Revelstoke paragliders have been honing their skills together for several years. They worked up from descents down Mt. Mackenzie to rides up and down the Columbia Valley to Shelter Bay or Mica. Sproule is the second to do the trip. Golden paragliding instructor Peter MacLaren did it first in 2000. MacLaren actually saw Sproule approaching Golden on Aug. 11. “He’s come from the ski hill,” MacLaren thought. “Or he’s made it across.” He added it was “great to see somebody
else do it.” MacLaren is a tandem pilot who’s opening his own paragliding business in Golden next year. He likened paragliding to pioneer mountaineering. “For me the thrill of flying those remote places is knowing nobody else has gone into it,” he said. Golden paraglider Scott Watwood made the first crossing in the other direction earlier this year. The accomplishment has them looking for their next challenge. “Now we’re just talking upping the ante even more,” Sproule said. Long-distance treks combining summit climbs are one possibility. “Now that’s the dream now that we’ve accomplished some good cross-countries.” Red Bull hosts the X-Alps race in Austria. Gliders race the length of the European Alps from Austria to Monaco, travelling on foot if they have to. Sproule said all significant alpine crossings from coastal B.C. to the Alberta border have now been achieved – with the exception of the Kamloops to Revelstoke leg. He wondered if a similar race could find its wings in B.C.

City council and staff issued several apologies for last week’s ‘no’ sign debacle at their Sept. 11 city council meeting, acknowledging mistakes were made.

However, the signs will stay until they eventually fade because council believes trying to remove them will not work and will create an eyesore. “It is not our role to supervise staff,� said mayor David Raven in his address to council. He alluded to an “interpretation� and “communication� issue between council and staff, leading ultimately to the signs. “The message is one of public safety,� Raven said. “Council are responsible for the safety of the public.� He said if someone was injured by a bike, skateboard or an off-leash dog, the city and its taxpayers would legally liable.
“I’m hoping that the controversy will blow over and the signs [will] rub off,� Raven said, adding the PR black eye detracted from council’s good work. City planning director John Guenther also apologized, citing communication issues. “The goal in my mind was to do something small in a minor way,� he said, adding the signs “grew into something way beyond.� Part of the idea behind the signage is to enable citizens to point out the rules to scofflaws, Guenther said, adding he believed this was better than an enforcementheavy approach. Coun. Phil Welock, who was originally elected on a law-and-
order platform, said there had been “talk� of vigilantism to deal with sidewalk scofflaws. “We need some enforcement; it’s done,� he said. Coun. Gary Starling felt attempts to remove the signs wouldn’t be worth it. “I think time will take care of that,� he said, adding, “we can’t fix these problems with signage.� Have there been any injuries due to downtown sidewalk skateboarding, cycling or dog bites, I asked. Councillors and staff couldn’t cite an incident, but said they’d heard of near misses. They didn’t have any statistics or numbers to quantify the issue. There hasn’t been litigation resulting from an

injury. After the meeting, Coun. Linda Nixon shared her experiences as a gerontological nurse, including her time working to rehab elderly patients injured in falls or other mishaps. She contrasted what you see on downtown sidewalks (longboards, BMXes, cruisers and bar bikes) with what you don’t — elderly residents pushing walkers or walking with the assistance of canes. Nixon said elderly residents head downtown in other B.C. small-towns, but wondered if ours had become too inhospitable to those worried about a physical encounter with skateboarders, sidewalk cyclists or off-leash dogs.

Macdonald was presented with copies of Great Glacier & Its House, by William Putnam; and Nicholas Morant’s Canadian Pacific, by J.F.

He added he’s seen many people cross over the tracks from Lower Town to go to his restaurant. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

JobFest returns mixed results TURNOUT LOW FOR GOVERNMENT SPONSORED CAREER FAIR/ROCK SHOW
EXPERIENCES BY ALEX COOPER I missed the afternoon rush at JobFest. According to the organizer, about 50 high school students showed up right after school to check out the career fair/rock show. “Once they realized what it was they were here a lot longer than they thought they would be,” a JobFest host told me. By the time I got there at about 4 p.m., they were gone. The band, Acres of Lions, were playing to pretty much just the organizers. The only teenagers there – the target market for JobFest – were children of employees of the employment centre. The weather couldn’t have helped; a torrent of rain fell during the first few hours, but by the time I got there, it had stopped and there was a bit of sun poking through the clouds. I acknowledge readily that I wasn’t there long, however people that I know showed up before and after me also reported seeing very few people around. Besides the music and free swag (guitar pics, drum sticks, neon sunglasses, T-shirts and more), the main feature of JobFest was the series of iPad apps on hand. One was called Boss Yourself – it presented a series of tests to see if you are capable of running your own business. The big one was Build-aCareer, which presented four series of 17 questions and gave you a list of recommended jobs after each series. The final list was

supposedly the most accurate. I spent some time talking to one of the JobFest hosts, who said she wasn’t allowed to be interviewed. She was a graduate in broadcast journalism and the career builder program recommended she be a librarian. Another host said she got a variety of responses, but the most common was optometrist. NiiNoi Tetteh, a grade nine student, took the Build-a-Career test. Aircraft assembler came up for him, as well as jobs in oil and gas, he said. The latter, he has considered, though his dream is to make the NHL and he has also thought of becoming a physical trainer. He said the results helped a little bit. “I never knew about that kind of job.” I decided to take the test myself. For phase 1, I received ‘Librarian.’ Phase 2 turned up ‘Records clerk’ (not nearly as exciting as record store clerk, but OK). For phase 3, the results took a real turn, and my recommended
job was Agricultural Inspector. My results in phase 4, which is supposed to give the most accurate results, ran the gamut from actor to financial officer to specialized doctor to food processing supervisor. I wasn’t sure what to make of that. Anyone who saw me in my high school’s grade seven production of Robin Hood will tell me I’m no actor. The rest of the results were so varied, I don’t know what to make of them. I can only surmise three things: 1. The program is faulty. 2. I didn’t answer truthfully. 3. I’m good at almost everything. Notably, journalist didn’t show up anywhere in my results. Fortunately, if I do decide to change career paths, train operator also came up as a 100 per cent match, so at least I know I have a future in Revelstoke.
Capsule Comments With David Lafreniere Our bodies are amazing. The level of acidity in our blood is held quite constant at a pH of 7.357.45 no matter what we do. (Anything above 7 is alkaline.) The pH of our urine can change with our diet but the pH of our blood remains pretty well the same. We are entering the autumn season soon and it’s a good time to remind everyone about handwashing. It is the best
way to prevent colds, flus and many other infectious diseases. Do it often throughout the day for at least 20 seconds per wash. This is especially important after blowing your nose, using the toilet, playing with pets or changing baby’s diaper. Perhaps even shaking hands? The increase in social networking during the past few years has prompted research
projects studying its addiction potential. The projects concluded that social media can be more addictive than tobacco. It takes up much of some people’s spare time and its seeming low cost just makes it that much more desirable. We are born with 100,000 hair follicles on our heads. Hair falls out and renews itself routinely throughout our lives. But, sometimes these hair
follicles become stressed and hair starts to fall out and not grow back. Causes can be emotional or physical shock, hormonal (postpartum, stopping birth control pills), severe dieting and high fever among others. If you are concerned, check with your physician.
A semi-truck has been allowed to smoulder at the side of the Trans-Canada Highway five kilometres east of Revelstoke after bursting into flames sometime Thursday morning. The semi, which was carrying a load of groceries that included parsley, cilantro and bok choy, amongst other items, was a little more than a smoking shell when the Times Review drove out to the scene at around 11 a.m. on Sept. 13. The driver was able to pull the truck over and get out without injury, said Staff-Sgt. Jacquie Olsen of the Revelstoke RCMP. The Coastal Pacific Xpress vehicle was burning at a pull-out five kilometres east of Revelstoke. Smoke bil-
lowed high into the air and a smell of smoky metal, burnt food, and melted rubber permeated the air. Three people were stopped at the scene to check out the wreckage and pose for pictures, using a fire extinguisher as a prop. Revelstoke Fire Chief Rob Girard said he went out to visit the scene earlier in case there was any hazardous material cleanup needed. The crash is outside of the fire department’s coverage area, so the decision was made to let it burn out. “If it put the surrounding forest at risk and put the city at risk, we would seek the permission of the CAO or the mayor [to put out the fire],” said Girard. The cause of the fire is unknown, though it appears to have started in the engine block before spreading to the rest of the semi.
That’s what people say. The only problem with Blundstone boots is that they never seem to wear out. Oh, people try. But after a few years of kicking the bejeez out of them, they’re more comfortable than ever and still going strong. Expensive? Nope,they\ get cheaper by the day.

Revelstoke seeks contractor to study water metering AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
A decision on whether or not to adopt water meters in Revelstoke may be years off, but even a council debate about a water metering study shows how politically high-pressure the issue is. At the Sept. 11 council meeting, Coun. Tony Scarcella led objections to the concept of water meters and even studying them, saying the city hadn’t yet seen results of less costly conservation measures. He said an estimate from several years back pegged the cost of implementing household meters in Revelstoke at $5 million. “Who’s going to pay for it? The taxpayers?” Scarcella asked. “The taxpayers are fed up.” Last week, the city posted a request for proposals for a water metering study. The city is looking for a contractor to study water metering here and make recommendations. The study will explore both the ‘if’ and ‘how’ questions. The recommendation may be to not
implement water metering. If it’s a ‘yes,’ the study will recommend how, including the type of metering, rate structures, equipment, billing and cost estimates. In a city with relatively good water supply, balancing cost is at the core of the debate. Will future development in Revelstoke necessitate an expansion of the current (and relatively new) water treatment plant? What is the cost of that compared to water metering, which would theoretically cut demand and forestall expansion? City of Revelstoke environmental sustainability coordinator Penny Page-Brittin said the city budgeted $50,000 for the study, but she expects the actual cost to be much less, telling council it would likely be $25,000 to $30,000. Coun. Steve Bender presented mixed feelings. “We know from experiences all over North America that water meters work. They work a lot more effectively than sending out people to police [illegal sprinkling].” However, Bender said the study would likely recommend
metering. “When you call [for a] request for proposals, what usually happens is you get a positive on it, because that’s just the way it works,” he said. “They work, but they’re expensive. That’s what it comes down to.” Coun. Phil Welock emphasized it was about comparing the cost of expanding the water treatment plant versus the cost of metering. “Most days we go through about a million U.S. gallons of water in Revelstoke ... Some days we could go through two million if people are sprinkling,” Welock said. “I think we have to rely on education. I wouldn’t want to be putting signs on the sidewalk asking people not to sprinkle their lawns.” He added: “I think we need to go ahead with this [study]. I think we’ll have a positive result.” Mayor David Raven sought to quell debate, noting there wasn’t a decision before council. “This is not about approving water meters, it’s about making an informed decision sometime in the future,” he said.
Plans laid out for twinning of North Fork and Malakwa Bridges TRACY HUGHES Black Press
Plans to upgrade both the Malakwa and North Fork bridges to four-lane structures moved another step forward with a public presentation of the Ministry of Transportation’s plans. Both bridges are intended to be revamped to include four lanes of roadway with wider shoulders, four-lane bridges, a paved median, rumble strips and clear zone areas to improve safety. A Sept. 12 open house meeting drew 100 people to view the proposed plans, with a ministry spokesperson saying the feedback was mostly positive, with residents pleased that safety concerns and access issues would be addressed. The current two-lane structures provide a so called, “pinch point” in the flow of traffic, which results in traffic disruption and safety risks. At the presentation, it was noted that the Malakwa bridge has seen 30 collisions between 2002 and 2011. Two of those have been fatalities, 12 have resulted in injury and 16 had property damage only. The North Fork bridge has seen a total of 61 collisions between 2002 and 2011. There has been one fatality, 15 injuries and 45 property damage collisions. Common contributing factors in these collisions were unsafe speed, driving too fast for road conditions, narrow bridge structure and driving without due care and attention. The existing traffic conditions also see approximately 6,000 vehicles per day crossing these bridges,

a number which increases to nearly 11,000 per day during the summer months. Roughly 30 per cent of these vehicles are trucks. A traffic study revealed that 63 per cent of drivers on the Malakwa Bridge would be directly following another vehicle, as would 61 per cent of drivers on the North Fork Bridge. Problems with traffic mobility include long traffic lines, driver frustration and unsafe passing maneuvers. Upgrades will also eliminate the current load restriction risks associated with the current aging structures, as well as improvements for pedestrians and cyclists. Up next for the project will be to proceed with additional consultation and design plans, including an archeological and environmental impact assessments to be completed in early 2013 for Malakwa and summer 2013 for North Fork.
Application for environmental approvals will also be initiated in early 2013 for Malakwa and in early 2014 for the North Fork project. No timeline was given for the start and completion of construction. Revelstoke mayor David Raven attended the Malakwa open house, where he also represented the CSRD. He said any new highway improvements are welcomed. “We would like to see the piece in the middle completed too,” Raven said, encouraging the ministry to four-lane the section between the two bridge projects while they were at it. “We encourage them to tag it on now as a third contract,” he said. “Some of these are fairly inexpensive,” Raven said, adding it was “a good start.” — notes from Aaron Orlando

Two ski bus shuttle initiatives
THE BUZZ
City council approved the purchase of a new 60-seat shuttle bus to the ski hill; they also authorized a study of possible shuttle to Calgary, Kelowna airports
Two new bus-related initiatives were approved at the Sept. 11 meeting of Revelstoke city council. They okayed the purchase of a third ski shuttle bus, and also approved a staff investigation into subsidizing a shuttle to and from the Kelowna and Calgary airports.
NEW, BIGGER SKI SHUTTLE BUS
Myth or fact? Well if a little dose is good maybe a lot is better? My child is half my weight so I should give half the dose? Why doesn’t a bigger dose of medication always work better? It seems like a reasonable assumption. Little pain take a little, big pain take more of a pain medication. Different drugs have different levels of toxicity – toxicity is the term to describe harm that may occur to your body if exposed to dangerous products or excessive amounts of a product. Toxicity can occur to one organ or multiple organs depending on the drug or product. Toxicity can vary greatly – for example a healthy person can typically handle several thousand of milligrams of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) daily, but taking in excess of 1,000mg of vitamin B6
daily (pyridoxine) has been associated with potential nerve damage. So even with vitamins there are thresholds of safety. Dosage amounts and intervals between doses are important to adhere to. A manufacturer of a drug or supplement does extensive studies to determine the therapeutic dose. Achieving a safe therapeutic level in your body will ensure that you receive maximum benefit from the medication without harming your body. Did you know that instructions for use of a medication can vary depending on a person’s age, weight, relative health and sometimes even gender? A common error is to try to calculate a dose for a child or infant by calculating based on weight or age! Never do this. Dosing for infants and children tend to be quite different as their organs tend to be in most part not fully developed until they are older, so metabolism (the breaking down of drugs) and excretion (elimination of
drugs and their broken down by-products) changes with age. The same goes for a geriatric population. Special considerations have to be made for people who have impaired/reduced kidney or liver function. Manufacturers label their products based on a healthy human, so always keep in mind that adjustments may need to be made depending on a person’s health status. Of course when in doubt contact a health professional – it may be a physician, nurse or your helpful pharmacist. Pharmacists are educated and trained to provide you and your family safe advice on all your healthcare needs. So don’t hesitate to call a Pharmasave pharmacist when you are unsure. Revelstoke Pharmasave is open 7 days a week for all your health needs. Sundays 11-5. p.s. now you should know the answers to the “Myth or Fact” questions above.

Council allocated $154,000 from hotel tax funds to purchase a new 60-seat bus that will be added to the winter ski shuttle route. The service takes skiers and snowboarders from hotels, motels and bus stops in the city to Revelstoke Mountain Resort and back. The bus will be the third one servicing the popular route and will be significantly larger than the existing two shuttle buses. “Last winter, with the existing two buses, it was not enough to keep up with demand,” explained city economic development director Alan Mason. “The ridership on the buses increased from 29,000 to 45,000 last winter. It did not look good for us for a couple of weeks when we were leaving lots of people standing on the sidewalk when the bus went by.” He said the ski resort and local hotels were forecasting a busier winter this year, necessitating the bigger bus. The route will use the new, larger bus, and one of the existing smaller ones, keeping the third bus on stand-by for peak periods. The purchase is funded through the Resort Municipality Initiative (RMI) funds. The provincial program adds a two-per-cent tax to accommodation bills in the city, then kicks the proceeds back for resort infrastructure projects. It is hoped the bus will be in service by the peak New Year hol-
Another potential project would also be paid for through the RMI fund — leasing a bus to provide shuttle service to and from the Calgary and Kelowna airports. One problem, council heard, is there is no direct bus service to the airports. Greyhound and other private operators go to those cities, but there aren’t good connections from the airports to the bus stations. The idea is to create a scheduled service. Another problem, they heard, is the bus business is tough these days. Tour operators who take clients to places like Banff have been scaling back or shutting down. A private operator wouldn’t be able to sustain a regularly-scheduled snow shuttle service to the airports. A third problem is connectivity. Revelstoke Mountain Resort skier services director Steve Bailey told council that U.S. clients are OK with flying to Kelowna, but struggle with the final leg of the journey. Meanwhile, Bailey said European clients don’t want to take smaller regional flights in Canada. They want to arrive at Calgary and have ground transportation provided from there. The staff study would explore some kind of public-private partnership, although no details were provided. Some councillors had concerns. Coun. Phil Welock thought a request for proposals should be issued. He worried about the city being responsible for a busload of visitors stuck at Rogers Pass for three days. Coun. Steve Bender was concerned about using public funds to

compete with private enterprise. Coun. Gary Starling said the responsibility shouldn’t fall on the city’s shoulders. “It should be the resort that’s doing it,” Starling said. Both Bailey and Mason countered that the idea had broad support from tourism operators including those in accommodations, heli-skiing, sledding, retail and restaurants. “The hotels are 100 per cent behind this initiative,” Mason said. Brydon Roe operates the Revelstoke Connection and Stoke Shuttle, booking tours and operating buses into the Okanagan. He was supportive of the idea, saying the idea had come through tourism operators in Revelstoke who are anticipating a big increase in skier numbers this winter. Transportation is seen as a key concern. Roe said his business moved approximately 2,000 customers round trip last year; he’s forecasting 3,500 this year. Roe cited a recent spread on Revelstoke in Powder Magazine that noted the excessive travel time here. “This perception that you can’t get to Revelstoke drives me nuts,” Roe said. The buses will help, but part of the challenge is to make people know it’s not impossible to get here. “The wholesalers are telling us this,” Roe said. Roe also noted regular service from Los Angeles’ LAX airport to Kelowna will commence this year. He said his company would be interested in bidding for the contract to provide whatever kind of service arises from the RMI bus initiative if it moves forward. He said the RMI subsidy would allow them to expand services, such as providing scheduled service. Council approved the staff study. No numbers were provided.

I want to share with you why I got involved helping to organize the Revelstoke Emergency Services Fight Back Against Hunger food drive this Sept. 19 & 20. My family got into trouble when I was a teen. My mom was the main breadwinner in our family at that time. She was working two jobs to make ends meet, and had a slipped disc in her back. Dad was working part-time and going to university full-time and all of the sudden, the burden of feeding three kids on a tiny income was their reality. While I don’t remember specific details, I remember how quickly things tightened up. No more eating out. No more special outings. At the time, I was in grade 7. I remember wanting the cool clothing and that new cassette tape, and money to go to the movies. It didn’t occur to me, the cost of these things. As a mother now, the clothing and music and movies seem like such triv-
ial things. When I think about getting in a financial crunch, my first thought goes to, “How would I feed my children?” I consider what it would take for me to go in and make that application. To sit and admit that I needed help to feed my family. I remember receiving that first box of food from the Calgary food bank. I don’t remember how my parents reacted, but I remember going through it and wondering where it came from. Things did get better, and we only needed the food bank for a short period of time. But looking back, I realize how hard it must have been for my parents to reach out and ask for help. Later, as a young adult off at university, I found myself clear across the country and alone on Christmas break. I was absolutely broke, and all of my friends had gone home for the holidays. The people I worked with put together a Christmas food hamper for me. It made me feel less scared, less sad, less alone. I felt joy while cooking it because I realized that even if I was alone, I knew that people cared. I imagine that my parents felt this as well. Today I am a single mom raising two kids by myself. I realize how little it would take to be in that place again. I consider what Mother Teresa said: “If you can’t feed a hundred people, feed just one.” We nurture through food. When a mom has a baby, we cook. When we celebrate,
we cook. When someone passes away, we cook. We have stepped away, in many ways from this cooking and feeding our community due to a lot of restraints — time, culture, societal structure — but this is something that we can all reach out and do without much effort. This is not only a way to nurture those in our community that are in need and going through tough times. It is a way to nurture ourselves as human beings — connecting in a way that is at the core of our being ... through food. We can’t fix the problem ourselves, but working together, each of us doing a little bit, it adds up to feeding those hundred people even if individually we can only feed the one. Please help us help those in need — we will be coming to your door between Wednesday, September 19 and Thursday, September 20 between 6–8 p.m. each night. If you will not be home, please leave your donation where our volunteers can see it, protected from the elements. If we do not make it to your home, please take your donation to Cooper’s or Southside Foods. See page 5 of this issue for a list of the most-needed donations. *** Krista Carnegie is a co-organizer of the Emergency Services Fight Back Against Hunger food drive. The drive is one of the Revelstoke Food Bank’s main drive of the year, bringing in enough food to stock their shelves for months.

Red Apple hosts grand opening AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Red Apple store opened its doors for an official grand opening on Sept. 14, welcoming guests with cake and a number of opening week specials. Revelstoke city council representative Linda Nixon joined manager Trevor English to cut the ribbon for the official opening. They were joined by staff members Laura Allen, Corinne Martin, Dianne Dyck, Amy Angus and Bea Eliuk. The Red Apple store in Revelstoke had a soft opening in August. Inside the store, Nixon and Revelstoke Museum & Archives director Cathy English chatted about the history of the shop’s location over cake. English noted the location first opened on July 18, 1963, when Gary Cooper opened the Shop-Easy store.
Cooper then opened his namesake store Cooper’s sometime later at that location. It was later moved to its current location in the Alpine Village Mall. Cooper — a Revelstokian — went on to open more Cooper’s stores before they were eventually bought out by the Overwaitea Food Group, who operate them today. Centenarian Kay Martin visited the Red Apple store to shop on its opening day. “It’s been great,” she said while enjoying a piece of cake. Trevor English said the store is still getting new stock everyday, and emphasized the seasonal selection, saying they were bringing in higher quality winter footwear this year, for example. The Red Apple stores have branded their candy section as ‘candyworks.’ It features a big selection of candies, bulk candies
and chocolate. The Revelstoke store joined 10 other new Red Apple Canada stores celebrating their grand openings today. 20 more will be opening by the end of the month. The stores are operated by TBS Acquireco Inc., which operates The Bargain! Shop stores in Canada. The Red Apple stores are a new re-branding initiative. “We’re thrilled to bring our exciting new Red Apple stores to Canada’s rural communities,” said The Bargain! Shop executive Eric Claus in a statement. “Our much anticipated new brand is focused on providing improved product offerings, tailored merchandising and a better customer experience, all while continuing to provide great value.” The store will distribute about 40 flyers each year including sale offerings.
Heat Pumps make the most sense for home owners in Revelstoke because of the high cost of propane and electricity.

She only just got the keys to the building on Monday, but Miriam Manley already has lots of ideas of what to do with the new Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre. “I think it can be a great multi-use venue,” said the new theatre co-ordinator. “I can see the stage being used really well for comedy, I can see it hosting dance. I think it would be great to bring in some professional acts but also have it as a hub for the community as well.” Manley brings a great deal of experience working in the arts to the position. Prior to moving to Revelstoke, she served worked for the Arts Council of England, where, amongst other tasks, she oversaw the funding for three medium-sized art centres in the East of England that featured mixed programming. “One of my jobs was to oversee what they were doing because the arts council was their main funder,” she said. She was also engaged in working on outdoor festivals, performances and talent development in the region, working with emerging artists on grant applications and helping develop festivals in different towns. Before that she worked at the Banff Centre, where she helped organize a number of events and seminars. Manley sees a lot of potential for the theatre, both as a venue for community organizations and as a space for touring acts to perform or as a conference venue. “It’s a great, state-of-the art facility,” she said. “It is on the main highway between Calgary and Vancouver. I think it has the potential to attract
performers that way.” So far the new theatre has been used for several school band performances. The Banff Mountain Film Festival this week will be the first major, nonschool event to take place at the theatre (see page 20 for more). The second big event, and the kickoff for the Revelstoke Arts Council’s 2012-13 concert series, will be a performance by the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra. They will be bringing their performance of Brilliant Beethoven to the theatre next Thursday, Sept. 27. Manley has ideas for the theatre, such as a summer arts festival that would focus on performing arts, and bringing in a professional theatre company to work with the community on a completely local production. She also sees its potential as a place to inspire youth. “There’s some really great dance work out there at the moment, contemporary dance,” she said. “There’s loads of young people who take part in dance workshops in town so I think there’s an opportunity there to bring some exciting stuff here.” On top of that, the theatre is also open for conferences, speakers and any other uses you can think of. A fee structure has been set, but Manley is encouraging people to get in touch with her about using the venue. “It’s an amazing space and it’s there for community use and so people shouldn’t be put off by the fee structues and how all that works,” she said. “They should talk to me if they want to use it. I’m open to having conversations with whoever is out there about getting in there and getting the space used as much as possible.” Manley can be contacted by e-mailing miriammanley@gmail.com.

Everything we made stayed right here in Revelstoke! Over the past decade, Revelstoke Credit Union has contributed a combined total of more than
3.3 million dollars directly back to the members and community it serves. Marty Schaffer takes off at the start of the Martha Creek Meltdown. He started first and set a standard for the day that wasn’t beat. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review
44 racers tackle Sale Mountain at Martha Creek Meltdown ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Nine kilometres, 1,550 vertical metres of descent, and in the end it came down to 13 seconds. That was the gap that separated Marty Schaffer and Logan Marsh in the first ever Martha Creek Meltdown race down the demanding Sale Mountain trail on Saturday. In the end, Schaffer emerged victorious, starting first and clocking an impressive time of 24:21.58. Marsh was just behind him at 24:34.66 and Stu Dickson, 16, finished third in a time of 25:37.62. “This trail was the trail that made me want to move to Revelstoke,” said Schaffer after the race. “The first time riding it 5-6 years ago, half-way down you could see the glaciated peaks in the distance, you’re riding in the alpine, the coolest thing ever. “When Izzy first announced the event it was obvious I had to race” The Martha Creek Meltdown served as a fundraiser for the Live It! Love It! Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing sports opportunities for disabled people. It was organized by Izzy Lynch, the executive director of the foundation. She had the help of dozens of volunteers, who manned checkpoints, worked the timing, did first aid and shuttled riders. The Martha Creek trail starts near the summit of Sale Mountain with a rocky descent before
crossing through several boulder-strewn alpine meadows. After more descent, the trail crosses some boardwalks over a marsh before the real descent begins – endless single track with a mix of steep, technical bits, tight switchbacks, exposed sidehill and and more. And just as it eases up, your hands start to cramp and the last stretch hammers you with roots before the final descent through yet more rocks. Most riders agreed that the toughest part was the hands cramping up lower down and with no real spots to relax, the only way to rest up was to stop and lose time. “I think everybody can agree you get to the bottom and your hands get so numb, you’re breathing so heavy and you’re waiting for that bottom to come,” said Schaffer. Emma Mains was the fastest woman in a time of 47:45:46, beating out Amanda McCullagh and Sarah Peterson, who rounded out the podium. A brave 13 racers added to the pain by cycling up the 15-kilometre logging road to the top before starting the descent. Peter Knight had the fastest time in the enduro race, completing both sections in a fast time of 2:07:53. Martin Lafontaine finished second in 2:11:27 and Nate Briggs was third, exactly one minute behind Lafontaine. Jacqui Coward won the women’s enduro in a time of 2:32:47, beating out Annie Gornall and Jessica Stoner, who were second
and third respectively. “It was a really beautiful day. It was a really nice climb, but kind of long,” said Coward after receiving her award for first place – a grab bag of goodies from the North Face. “I’m a climber. The downhill, I didn’t really have a downhill back so it was a little bit more challenging but still a really awesome feeling and it was pretty fun.” After the race, competitors, volunteers and spectators gathered at Martha Creek Provincial Park for a little party. Stephanie Clifford and Billie-Jo Porter played music, Amy Guidinger from Helios provided the racers with massages, Zoya Lynch gave a yoga lesson, the Taco Club sold food, Meghan Tabor made smoothies, prizes were given out and the awards were announced. “Today was awesome,” said Lynch. “The weather totally cooperated and we had an amazing crew come out to race. It’s really cool, really positive vibes and everything went amazingly smoothly. I couldn’t imagine it better.”

Taurus, you might find it difficult to ask for what you desire, but you just have to buckle down and make a stand. It may not be easy, but your efforts will prove fruitful. Gemini, you are in your element this week and the good vibes will last for several days. There’s no pressure to get things done, so keep on sailing.
June 22– July 22
Cancer, it may seem like a good idea to retreat to a fantasy world when the going gets tough, but you’ll need to have your feet and mind firmly planted in reality this week.
July 23– August 22
Leo, it is good to be optimistic, but it also helps to develop a plan in case things don’t go your way. Ask a friend or family member for help when devising your plan.
You are eager to listen and learn, Libra, but you also want to share your own experiences. This week you will need to find a balance between being a student and a September 23– teacher.

Scorpio, think things through before making big decisions. There is some pressure on you, but concentrate and focus on the task at hand.
Make some decisions now before you change your mind again, Sagittarius. Too much information can cloud your judgement, so go with your gut. Capricorn, you are at a turning point in your life and it could be a good time to make a few important changes. This may involve a new career or making new friends.

Grizzlies split opening weekend games to start new season ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Revelstoke Grizzlies opened their season by splitting home games against the Chase Heat and Sicamous Eagles last weekend. “On Friday night, I think we’ve got a lot of local kids this year and a lot of new faces. I think they were a little too excited to get going Friday night, came out and tried to be over physical and it cost us,” said coach Kevin Kraus. “Saturday’s game we stuck to our system. We played more simple hockey and tried to wear Sicamous down.” Friday’s game opened with a few words from councillor Steve Bender, who thanked Lew Hendrickson for keeping the Grizzlies in town and joked the city would not be spray-painting ‘no street hockey’ signs on city streets. Chase held the advantage through much of the first period, outshooting Revelstoke 17-5. The Grizzlies failed to muster many chances on two power play opportunities, and later ran into penalty trouble of their own, going down two men at the end of the frame. They killed that off, but six minutes into the third, with Revelstoke called for too many men on the ice,
Dominick Hodges got Chase on the board when he batted a puck out of mid air, past goaltender Conrad McMillan. Not long after, the Grizzlies ran into more trouble when defenceman Tyler Bolduc got kicked out of the game for fighting Kaleb Carpenter. Not long after, Darnel St. Pierre got the boot for a hard hit on Cody Wiseman, leaving Revelstoke with only four defenceman. “It hurt us. We had to play four D for half the game and those guys get tired out and can’t provide offensively,” said Kraus. On the ensuing power play, Chase hit two cross bars in less than 10 seconds. Then, with Revelstoke short handed, Spencer Samuel got sent in on a breakaway. He dangled Chase goaltender Jacob Mattes and slid the puck into the net on the backhand to tie the game. Chase regained the lead when Nicholas Fidanza was left alone in front and fired a backhander past McMillan. The third period saw Revelstoke come out strong, and stay out of the penalty box. Still, Fidanza scored his second of the night just over half way through the period to give the Heat a 3-1 lead.
Before the dust settled, Dylan Ossman got the goal back to make it 3-2. That was as close as Revelstoke would get, as Chase hung on for the win. “We took too many penalties and gave Chase the best opportunity to win the game,” said Kraus. Saturday saw the Grizzlies take on the Sicamous Eagles, in a highflying game that Revelstoke won 4-3 in overtime. Braden Seyl scored twice, including the game winner, and TJ Christensen had one goal and an assist in the win. Goaltender Aaron Brandoli stopped 50 shots, while Revelstoke fired 54 shots at his counterpart in the Eagles net. “We played our hockey, simple hockey, chipped in a few goals and had a few let downs in the third that they capitalized in the back of our net,” said Kraus. This weekend the Grizzlies head out on the road, with games against Chase on Friday and Sicamous on Saturday. On Tuesday, Revelstoke hosts the Kamloops Storm at the Forum. Several new faces could be in the lineup, with two new forwards joining the team and defencemen Adam Pulliam and Andrew Standish – both members of last year’s team –

possibly returning from Junior A. Kraus said he will focus on a simple system as the team develops chemistry. “Going with hard
fore checking, hard back checking, more simple than anything. Nothng too crazy, I don’t want to overwhelm them off the bat.”
