Food service excellence is right! Sonia Ratte and Olivier Dutil of La Baguette won the 2012 Food Service Excellence Award at the Nov. 3 Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards. Everyone in attendance concurred – La Baguette was catering that evening and they put on a fantastic dinner that earned them a standing ovation and lots of raves around the room. The Triple-A beef rib-eye in a red wine demi-glaze was amazing, the pork tenderloin in a white wine mushroom sauce was fantastic and the black tiger prawns in a garlic and shallot emulsion

caused people at my table to lose their cool and hoard them. The Business Excellence Awards highlighted the best of business in Revelstoke 2012. It featured newly-revised award categories designed to fit a bit better with the unique mix of businesses in Revelstoke, explained host and Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Judy Goodman. The awards included new tourism and youth employment categories. Malcolm Bott of Universal Footwear took home the Buiness Person of the Year award while the Modern Bakeshop & Cafe won Business of the Year for 2012. Maryanne Krestinsky of Home Hardware Revelstoke took home

Ten tips for putting together a winning resume Contributed by JOBS BC

THE BASICS: FORMATTING Like any good brand, your resume needs to be eye-catching and effective. Choose a professional font, such as Arial or Times New Roman, and ensure the font size is legible, generally 10-12 point, except for your name and headings which can be larger and bolded. Be cognizant of the length: one to two pages for less experienced and non-management roles and three pages for senior-level applications. Also, proof read, proof read, proof read. Surveys have shown that as many as three out of four hiring managers will discard a resume with as few as two typos.

REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL OR FUNCTIONAL? Most hiring managers prefer a reverse chronological format, listing the most recent job first with previous jobs following. This gives them a more fluid account of your career progression and typically highlights the most pertinent skills in greatest detail. This may not be the right format, however, if you have any breaks or gaps in

employment or if you have a fragmented background with many jobs, professions or industries worked in a short time period. In this case, a functional resume -summarizing key areas of experience -- may be a better solution. Another option, however, is using a reverse chronological resume and closing the gaps or fragments in employment.

sumes. What may be expected in some countries is not required in North America, generally because it can lead to discrimination. You do not need to reference your marital status, age, children, ethnicity or religion. Also, don’t include a photo.

HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?

Companies are looking to make an investment in employees, in fact, aside from real estate, labour is the highest cost to a company. You therefore need to prove your return on investment. Instead of simply listing your performed duties, try using CAR statements that outline the Challenge, your Actions, and the Result.

When looking at levels of experience, how much should be included on a resume? For older job seekers who fear age discrimination, you don’t need to include your full career summary. While situations differ based on the number of jobs held, think of including either the last 3-4 jobs or 15 years of experience, whichever is less. For those lacking experience, it is acceptable to include voluntary, unpaid or relevant educational involvement on your resume. If you were a committee member of a student club or volunteered for a non-profit organization, extract those duties and indicate why that experience is relevant in your career progression.

WHAT’S TOO PERSONAL? As marketing techniques vary by country and culture, so do re-

LIST ACHIEVEMENTS

USE KEYWORDS Many companies, particularly those that are large or are household names receive hundreds, if not thousands of resumes, and therefore use a recruitment program to sort applications. They do so by scanning your resume for keywords that match the requirements for the role. Review a few job postings that interest you and pay attention to certain keywords that stand out. Ensure you include these throughout your resume and cover letter, keeping in mind that they should appear at least three times, preferably near the top.

POWER-UP Reduced, improved, accelerated, launched, identified, eliminated and managed: these are all power words that may be included in your resume. By starting each bullet point with one of these action words, your CAR statements will have more impact and you will demonstrate to employers that your actions produced results.

WHAT ARE YOUR PRIORITIES? You’ve identified your CAR statements and used power words to describe them, the next step is ensuring that you are referencing those points that are priorities in your desired job. Similar to including key words, ensure that those duties that are most closely related to the job you are applying for are at the top of your experience for each job function.

TARGET SPECIFIC OPPORTUNITIES Just as it is important to customize your cover letter, you’ll have a leg up if you also do so for your resume. While this requires more time and attention to detail, you’ll increase your chances of being noticed by hiring managers. Review the job posting and ensure you list the keywords, job priorities and CAR statements that are most pertinent to the role.

Consider including a specific career objective or goal that directly relates to the job and if desired, include the company name in the statement.

NOT ALL RESUMES ARE THE SAME Still uncertain about how to profile your specific skills and experience to a job within your field? A resume for the hospitality industry naturally differs from that of an accountant or labourer. Review examples online to ensure that you are presenting an accurate depiction of yourself and your experience. Like all good brands, you need to manage your resume and professional profile. With social media making it easier than ever for employers to check up on you, it is essential that you maintain a consistent and professional image across LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and any blogs you may write or participate in. In addition to ensuring that there are no disparaging remarks or unwanted photos that are visible, you also need to ensure your LinkedIn profile supports what you have referenced in your resume. By creating a strategic personal marketing campaign and brand, you’ll enjoy greater success both in your next job and throughout your career.

Influenza clinics continue after tests Black Press

Seasonal influenza clinics are proceeding in B.C. after use of one of the vaccines was briefly suspended for further testing. Health Canada announced Wednesday that Novartis-made vaccines have been approved for use in Canada and Europe after an investigation of one batch in Europe. B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the suspension was precautionary and related to effectiveness, and there is no safety concern. There are dedicated flu vaccination clinics at public health units, family doctors and pharmacists. To find the nearest clinic, use the flu

clinic locator at www.immunizebc. ca or call Healthlink BC at 8-1-1. The annual influenza vaccination gives priority to higher-risk patients such as seniors and those with chronic diseases, who receive the vaccine at no charge. Seasonal influenza is a severe respiratory illness that is responsible for hundreds of deaths in B.C. each year. Because influenza is spread through sneezing, coughing and contact with contaminated surfaces, B.C. regulations have been changed to require all employees in health facilities or other contact points with high-risk groups to either get the influenza shot or wear a mask.

Your Dollar Store with More coming to Alpine Village Mall AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Kelowna-based dollar store franchise Your Dollar Store with More will fill the last seat after the great game of musical chairs at Alpine Village Mall is complete. So far, the Bargain! Store rebranded into Red Apple and moved to the former home of Field’s. Lordco is finishing up renovations on the Bargain! Shop’s former location. Once they’ve moved, People’s Drug Mart will take up residence in the current Lordco location. Your Dollar Store with More will then take over the People’s Drug Mart location, confirmed Jeff Simla, the company’s director of marketing. Simla is on the hunt for a local franchisee to partner up and open the new location sometime in the spring of 2013. “It allows somebody to get into their own busienss, with some guideance,” he said.

“We’re not in the corporate model like other dollar stores are.” If they’re unable to find a franchisee, they will reluctantly operate it themselves, Simla said. “The stigma of dollar stores has kind of left,” he said, adding that dollar stores are the fastest growing retail sector in Canada. “More and more people are shopping dollar stores these days. People are pulling up in Mercedes and BMWs.” He said Your Dollar Store with More focuses on creating a “cleaner, brighter, well merchandised” shopping experience compared to other dollar stores. Your Dollar Store with More opened their first store in Merritt in 1998, soon expanding to Kelowna before expanding into franchising. The company has expanded to 120 stores. They focus on creating a less cluttered and well merchandised store. Their website is at dollarstore.ca.

Youth social enterprise businesses ideas sought AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

A new Revelstoke initiative is seeking your ideas for social enterprise businesses that will serve the community while employing youth and providing skills training. Program contractor Travis Wilkins is working with Community Futures and the Stoke Youth Network on the new program. They’re open to any ideas for new initiatives. “It’s super-wide open,” he said. “Really the main criteria is it would be something that youth would be interested in.” The program is open to youth aged 12–30, but those over that

involved with their youth-focused business ideas. Social enterprises balance achieving social, environmental and economic outcomes while striving to turn a profit. An example? “What comes to mind is something like Mountain Equipment Co-op,” Wilkins said. “The stage we’re at is determining the feasibility of doing it,” he added. “It has to be profitable enough to sustain itself. It needs to be a viable business.” Get in on the ground floor at the program’s first brainstorming session at Sangha Bean on Thursday, Nov. 8 from 7–9 p.m. or contact 250-837-5345.

B.C. MLAs disclose travel expense totals TOM FLETCHER Black Press

B.C.’s 85 MLAs have begun disclosing their travel expenses, posting total amounts charged on their government-issued credit cards but not the details of where they drove, flew or dined. The B.C. legislature’s internal finances are being dragged into the 21st century in response to a damning report from Auditor General John Doyle released in July. The audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, and the legislative assembly hadn’t produced financial statements despite a 2007 recommendation from the previous auditor general. In response, the Legislative Assembly Management Committee, chaired by Speaker and Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff, began holding its meetings in public. Two new financial officers were hired to address what Doyle described as “pervasive deficiencies” in financial accountability of legislature operations. The management committee authorized the first release Wednesday, showing six months of expenditures for each MLA up to the end of September. The report breaks spending down in categories, including accommo-

dation, daily meal allowance and three categories of travel. MLAs representing districts farthest from Victoria generally run up the highest expenses. Leading the pack in the first report is Robin Austin, NDP MLA for Skeena, with $53,606 in expenses from April to September. Austin’s total includes $19,486 in “Speaker approved travel,” including a trip to Colombo, Sri

Lanka in September to attend a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association conference. Speakers, deputy speakers and legislative clerks typically attend these conferences, aimed at strengthening parliamentary practices around the world. Routine expenses include the “capital city allowance,” for which most MLAs who live outside Greater Victoria claim

$1,000 a month without receipts. With receipts, out-of-town MLAs can claim up to $19,000 a year for rent, mortgage or hotel accommodation while in Victoria on legislature business. MLAs are also eligible for $61 a day for meals while in Victoria on legislature business. MLA expenses are to be posted quarterly from now on at www. leg.bc.ca/mla/remuneration/

travel_expenses.htm where the first reports are posted. Cabinet minister travel expenses are reported separately on the B.C. government’s “open government” website initiated by Premier Christy Clark. They receive similar accommodation and meal payments to other MLAs, but they are paid by their ministries and do not show up on the new disclosures.

MLA Macdonald big travel spender: $45,332 in 6 months AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Columbia River–Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald rang up the third highest travel expense total amongst 85 B.C. MLAs according to a newly instituted Legislature disclosure system. Macdonald spent a total of $45,332 in travel and accommodation expenses during a six-month period between April 1 to Sept. 30 this year. His expenses included $7,955 in a “capital city” allowance for accommodation and per diem in Victoria, $5,790 for “in-constituency” travel and $2,391 in travel costs for an “accompanying person.” The lion’s share of Macdonald’s expenses fall under the “general travel” category,

which includes a total but does not itemize exactly what the $29,195 was spent on. In a Nov. 1 interview, Macdonald gave the new travel disclosure system a mixed review. He emphasized that travelling from his home in Golden to Victoria was time- and expense-consuming. “I think it’s actually hard to follow,” Macdonald said of the disclosure format. “The disclosure’s good. I think it still needs work so that it’s easier to understand because things show up in different places.” He noted Cabinet ministers’ travel expenses aren’t included on the list, making other MLAs’ expenses seem higher. Macdonald noted his actual travel costs are more than the report shows – his recent work on the Tim-

ber Supply Committee earlier this year wasn’t included in his personal travel expenses, for example. Those travel expenses are billed to a separate committee budget and not disclosed here. Geography is the main reason his expenses are much higher, he said: “It’s an expensive place to come from. There’s just no getting around it from Golden.” It’s a three-hour or more drive to whatever airport he uses. Likewise, driving to appointments within the riding often means drives of several hours. “Those are elements that are not likely to change,” he said. “I love coming through the Rogers Pass – it’s beautiful, but these are not trips that one ends up looking forward to,” Macdonald said of the 10-hour trip to Victoria.

If the geography of an easternB.C. riding without many commercial airports is what’s driving up costs, why not itemize your expenses and lay them bare, as independent MLA Bob Simpson from Cariboo North has done? Macdonald said he’d prefer it be done on a collective basis. “Right now, I don’t see one-offing it,” Macdonald said. “The issues would be that not everyone’s doing it. It raises the question, “Why would one do it and not everyone?’” He anticipated his travel budget would remain at around $90,000 per year, with seasonal variations. “I don’t know how you get around it,” Macdonald said. “I don’t know how one can do it. “I can assure people there’s no private jets leaving Golden to Victoria,” he added.

BC Transplant ceremony honours Evan Donald organ donation AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The father of a Revelstoke resident who died in a snowboarding incident in February of 2011 is encouraging everyone to consider signing up to be an organ donor. Evan Donald died on Feb. 23 after he became entrapped in a tree well and suffocated while on a heliskiing excursion near Revelstoke. Donald, 23, was transported to hospital where he died. His organs were used for six different life-saving transplants. Evan Donald’s father James Donald travelled from New Brunswick to Vancouver for an Oct. 25 ceremony held by BC Transplant at the Cecil Green Park House at UBC. The intimate service brought

Father James Donald attended a ceremony commemorating organ donations made by his late son Evan Donald. photo contributed

together families of organ donors with those who’d been given a new lease on life through organ donation. James Donald said the emotional evening was “bittersweet.” About 60 people gathered to share their stories, including several young persons who were saved from debilitating and potentially fatal chronic ailments by their transplant. “The younger people, they’ve got their whole lives ahead of them now – instead of the alternative,” Donald told the Times Review. “The way I say it sometimes is, ‘The best day of one person’s life is the worst day of somebody else’s,’” Donald said. “That’s the way I look at it – to give people another chance.” Donald noted that Revelstoke resident Tyler Smith’s life was

transformed just a few days after Evan Donald passed away. Smith suffered from a chronic heart condition that had left him sick for most of his life. Since receiving the transplant his health has improved radically. BC Transplant maintains confidentiality and doesn’t disclose the identity of donors and recipients to each other. Donald commended the work of BC Transplant, a provincial organization that connects donors with recipients and provides many services to both. Donald encourages everyone to consider becoming a registered donor. You can begin the registration process online at transplant. bc.ca, or by calling 1-800-6636189.

Part four of an ongoing series exploring Revelstoke’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan. Revelstoke’s identity is tightly bound to the spectacular mountains, glaciers, forests, rivers and wetlands of the North Columbia Mountains. As a mountain town, Revelstoke’s economy is dependent on local ecosystems for forestry products and tourism, and the well-being of local residents is closely related to the wonderfully diverse ecosystems at our doorstep. Forest ecosystems dominate our landscape, with cottonwoods and other deciduous trees in the important riparian corridors along rivers and streams in the valley bottoms. Western red cedar, hemlock, Douglas-fir and white pine forests occupy the lower slopes of the mountains, with Engelmann spruce and sub-alpine fir (balsam) in the forests near treeline. Alpine meadows cap the mountain tops, with glaciers and rock pinnacles above. Although they are within the reservoir drawdown zone with its annually fluctuating water levels, the valley bottom grassland and shrub habitats near Machete Island and the Revelstoke Airport, the Downie Marsh ponds and the wetlands surrounding the airstrip support a diversity of plant and animal species including migrating waterfowl and songbirds. These ecosystems are especially important because the reservoirs in the Columbia valley have greatly reduced the area of these wetland, grassland and shrub ecosystems. Many residents and newcomers call

Revelstoke home because of this amazingly diverse and spectacular environmental setting. The Integrated Community Sustainability Plan includes mapping of local habitat types and updating our environmental action plan to support the ongoing health of local ecosystems. Residents have repeatedly stated their commitment to the local environment – in 2001 and 2007 the majority of Community Survey respondents – by far – deemed the condition of the natural environment around the community to be “very important” to our quality of life, and the state of our economy. Watch for the 2012 survey results in the next few weeks to see how we feel about our environment today. The North Columbia Environmental Society has taken leadership in encouraging environmental stewardship through education, the community garden and other activities. The Friends of Mt. Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks also promote environmental care through their programs. Businesses are paying attention as well. Our local Chamber of Commerce recognized Sangha Bean in 2011 with the Environmentally Friendly Award and the Coast Hillcrest Hotel has taken actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which also reduced energy costs. Population increases, ongoing development and carbon heavy lifestyles are creating significant environmental stressors across the planet. If unchecked, these stressors are expected to lead to massive changes in global and local weather patterns, ecosystem health and the survivability of plant and animal species the world over. Of greatest concern today and for the foreseeable future are increasing concentrations of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions that are leading to both local and global climate change. The consequences of climate change for Revelstoke are not trivial. The Columbia Basin Trust has identified the following trends of concern in our bioregion : • Temperature changes: In the last century the average temperature in the Basin

has increased by 1.5 degrees; most of this warming has happened in the last 30 to 50 years. Warming during all seasons is projected to continue over the next century, with the average annual temperature in the Basin projected to be 1.6 to 3.2 degrees warmer by the 2050s compared to the average temperature for 1961 to 1990. One or two degrees of warming may not seem like much – until you consider that there is about a one degree difference in the average annual temperatures in Revelstoke and Salmon Arm. • Melting glaciers: Glaciers have shrunk on average 16 per cent based on a 15-year period ending in 2000. Most of BC’s glaciers are continuing to lose mass and many may disappear within the next 100 years. • More rain, more snow, more extreme events: Results from five Basin weather stations indicate an increased rainfall of up to 45 per cent from 1913 to 2002 and reduced snowpack at lower elevations. Research has shown that between 1950 and 1997, snowpack declined by 20 to 40 per cent in the entire Columbia Basin. Future projections are for reduced summer rain and increased winter precipitation. Extreme precipitation events are projected to occur two to three times more frequently by the 2050s. • Changing stream and river flows: We have experienced lower water levels in streams during the summer and higher levels in the winter. Between 1984 and 1995, spring runoff occurred 20 days earlier than it did between 1970 and 1983. These changes are likely to continue into the future, along with earlier spring peak flows and lower late-summer flows that continue into the fall. In the face of these changes, Revelstoke has not been a passive bystander. The City understands that these changes put our community’s infrastructure and social, environmental and economic health at risk.

Chicks with Chainsaws

Kesslers will cherish memories of Revelstoke Editor, After our sixth summer here, we have left for an exciting new adventure and a fresh phase of our lives. Rod has begun a position with L.L. Bean’s Outdoor Discovery Schools, located in Freeport, Maine, USA. We are on the southern coast of Maine and thankfully, north of where Hurricane Sandy came ashore. It is a good opportunity for Rod as he will be working in an environment that supports his ideals and connects him to his passions. L.L. Bean has an excellent reputation, deep history and a powerful bond to the outdoors. As an added bonus, our daughter and son-in-law, Heidi and Ira, will be only a half hour away, in Portland. Please know that we will always carry in our hearts, a very special place for Revelstoke and Canada and all the friends and acquaintances we’ve made while living and working here. We have found you to be friendly, fun, sincere and down-to-earth. We will cherish so many special memories of you. Please smile, enjoy life and keep in touch! Our doors are open should you be able to make it out to our direction. We’ll keep our same e-addresses.

WAR AMPS YOUTH SHARES CONNECTION WITH VETERANS Editor, I am a member of The War Amps Operation Legacy, which consists of young members and graduates of the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program who are dedicated to preserving and commemorating Canada’s military heritage by teaching younger generations about our nation’s wartime history. I have had the privilege to learn about Canada’s military heritage and also know what it is like to live without a limb – a strong bond that I share with war amputee veterans. CHAMP was started by war amputee veterans and I want to give back to those who have given me so much. It’s important to remember our veterans for countless reasons. The individuals that left their families, homes and lives behind to fight for us and our country deserve more than just remembrance. We should be thankful every day for what they went through for us. The bravery, strength and courage it took is not something easily found. I give all my respect to our war veterans. I encourage all of you to learn more about Canada’s history by means of The War Amps Military Heritage Series documentaries, which can be ordered at waramps.ca.

CHEESY? WHAT ABOUT PROPERTY OWNERS MAKING NO EFFORT? Anna Minten of the Revelstoke-based B.C. Interior Forestry Museum shows off the newly-printed Chicks with Chainsaws 2013 calendar. Minten was the driving force behind the calendar – a fundraiser for the museum – and is featured in the month of June (pictured above with a vintage chainsaw at the museum). The calendar portrays 12 Revelstoke forest industry professionals at work. All the images portray these tough women at work; some of them go for a tongue-in-cheek sexy look. The calendar features the work of local photographers William Eaton, Jason Keerak, Keri Knapp, Bruno Long and Daniel Stewart. The calendar is available starting this week at local retail outlets including the Big Eddy Pub, the Village Idiot, Home Hardware, Rona, Rough Country Marine, Ken’s Repair & Rentals and more.

Natural Health Advice by Ann Woodhurst, Pharmasave Natural Medicines in management of Depression Sometimes we all feel a little down, but if you are often bothered by feeling down, depressed, or hopeless, and have no interest or pleasure in doing things, then you should consider a clinical follow-up.

Folic acid deﬁciency is common among patients with depression. People with low folate levels have a higher risk for depression. Some evidence suggests taking folic acid might be effective when used with conventional antidepressants, especially in women. But folic acid doesn’t seem to be effective as a replacement for conventional antidepressant therapy.

Depression is thought Ann Woodhurst to be caused by altered neurochemistry. Three major neruotransmitters play a central role... Likely Effective: norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine.

Editor, Re: City fines, takes motor inn to court over flashing Christmas lights, News, Oct. 31 Christmas lights are cheesy? What about the ‘no bikes’ signs peppered all over our sidewalks? To use the mayor’s words, that’s “going beyond the appropriate to being quite gaudy.” I don’t understand why the city seems to be targeting people who make an attempt to improve their homes and places of business, yet appear to do nothing to those who let their homes and storefronts deteriorate into shambles. Buildings with boarded-up windows, no siding, broken steps, mildew, yards crammed with junk – that’s cheesy. Gillian Hewitt, Revelstoke

Cyber-bully fears run high: poll Black Press

About 23 per cent of B.C. teens have been victims of cyber-bullying, according to a new survey of parents. The online poll of 504 B.C. adults by West-6S Marketing found widespread concern about cyber-bullying, with 89 per cent very or somewhat concerned. Eight per cent of adults surveyed also said they’ve been cyber-bullied and that rose to 12 per cent among heavy users of Facebook or Twitter. More mainstream use of social media means cyber-bullying is becoming more widespread and not just limited to online chat rooms, according to 6S Marketing president Chris Breikss. “Considering the speed of social

media and its availability – through smart phones, tablets – harassment has become inescapable,” he said. “It turns into a round-the-clock nightmare. The internet’s immediacy gives bullies a perception of power and the sheer volume of these unmoderated interactions can have devastating consequences.” About 46 per cent of B.C. adults use Facebook daily – rising to 64 per cent of 18- to 34-year-olds – and levels are higher in households with teens. Sixteen per cent use Twitter daily (37 per cent in the 18-34 group.) Fifty-eight per cent of parents surveyed said they believed their teens were the victims of “traditional” bullying.

Up Close! takes macro view of Mt. Revelstoke Park AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The ongoing Art in the Park series returns to the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre this Nov. 9 when the newest offering Up Close! Flora and Fauna of Mount Revelstoke opens. Since its inception, the Parks Canada Art in the Park series has taken artists from across B.C. to work and study in situ in Glacier National Park, Mount Revelstoke and beyond – including Pacific Rim National Park on Vancouver Island’s rugged west coast. The openings at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre have traditionally been the busiest of the season; lots of artists (14 this year) mean lots of exciting works to see and many friends to invite. This year’s offering will likely be busier; all of the artist are local, and their subject matter is even more so. Mount Revelstoke National Park was the subject. The challenge was taking a macro view of the park, creating the ‘Up Close!’ view of the natural environment. “We’re all familiar with flower meadows and vistas from the top of the mountain,” said Jacquie Pendergast of the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre. “We asked artists just to look at maybe the tiniest things. What we wanted then to do is take a macro view of things they found in Mt. Revelstoke National Park.” The results include photos, paintings, pottery and mixed-media pieces that get up close with the

tree-bark, fungi, wildflowers and fauna of our backyard national treasure. The itinerary was a little less demanding than past excursions that often involved trekking and camping in remote areas. This summer, Parks Canada staff led the artists on day trips to unique locales in the park, as well as some of the more well known, like the Skunk Cabbage and Giant Cedars boardwalks. They even searched out salamanders on a night-time excursion. The Show features Lucie Bergeron, Peter Blackmore, Sue Davies, Eve Fisher, Sandra Flood, Chloe Juwon Kim, Mas Matsushita, Cat Mather, Lori Olsson, Jacqueline Pendergast, David Rooney, Patti Shonek, Coreen Tucker and Kip Wiley.

Two Million Reasons shines at sold-out Revelstoke debut Greg Hill presents on the Manaslu avalanche disaster and premieres the exceptional Frank Desrosiers edit of Two Million Reasons AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre was sold out Nov. 1 for a highlight of the fall entertainment season, Greg Hill’s debut of his film Two Million Reasons, and a slide show exploring the recent Manaslu avalanche disaster. The Times Review followed Hill’s 2010 adventure to climb and ski two-million vertical feet in 2010, and we also covered the Manaslu avalanche disaster on Sept. 23 that killed 11 climbers. The presentation and films reflected on the two major events.

MOUNT MANASLU AVALANCHE DISASTER Hill was in Nepal to help film two German climbers who were making a speed climbing attempt up “the fourth deadliest” peak in the area. We follow Hill as he treks to base camp, all the while marvelling at Sherpas and porters who climbed alongside them – some carrying 100-kilo loads. Narrating onstage, Hill kept noting that the athletes carried light packs while the locals served as beasts of burden. “There were mostly women carrying all our stuff up there – all these short, tiny little women,” Hill noted about one stage of the climb to base camp. “Suffering their way up to our base camp.” Meanwhile, Hill filmed his

German companions. “They never waited for me. I was supposed to film them,” he joked. “Seriously, how am I supposed to film them? They kept running away from me?” Hill explained his group’s decision to camp away from the main camp, opting for a safer location. It’s here that he starts noting safety breakdowns – and gets drawn into them himself. “What I started realizing on this trip is when you’ve got this crazy objective that is larger than you have ever done, you want to get up there so bad that your perceived risks you start not seeing,” he said. “You don’t notice it ‘cause you just want to get up the damn mountain, you start justifying things a lot differently.” The errors were basic. Many in his group didn’t bring avalanche beacons; others started leaving them behind. It’s extremely hard to function in the low-oxygen, high-altitude environment. Extra weight is a huge burden. First aid kits also got ditched. They weathered out a storm at a lower camp while they waited for their summit shot. When they climbed back up to their camp Hill pulled out his shovel to dig out. “There’s six of us. How many shovels are in our group?” he asked. “That one.” “Lots of mistakes are happening here.” The huge avalanche rumbled down just before sunrise, taking out many tents and

claiming many lives. Hill’s group responded, doing what they could – mostly focusing on the living who were lucky enough to have wound up on the surface. “Let’s deal with those that are still living,” was the team’s decision – and with lots of time passed and only one shovel to go around, there wasn’t much else to be done. The videos Hill presented are hard to watch. People lay dying – rescue was hours away and little could be done other than comfort them. Helplessness doesn’t adequately describe it. Hill said he reflected on the nature of risk: “Obviously I’m an adventurer and everybody knows ... it involves risk. I like taking risks, it’s part of what gets me going, but I also try to take a certain percentage of risk. “Most of the people I met on the way up weren’t mountain people,” Hill said. “For me, I’m a mountain person. I’ve been taking risks for years and I’ve thought about the consequences. As much as I don’t want to talk to my wife about them, it’s a reality of what we do. “Death is very, very possible. Some of these people looked like they hadn’t been up more than three mountains, and they’re just out there. “For me, I couldn’t decide if they had actually gone through the process of accepting the consequences,” he said. “That morning when I saw all these dead bodies, I was

Greg Hill presents video from his September climbing expedition to the Himalayas, including this porter who shouldered a 100-kilo load. The Nov. 1 event at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre featured a presentation on the Manaslu avalanche disaster and the premiere of Two Million Reasons, a documentary featuring Hill’s 2010 skiing and climbing record. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

just like, God, do these people really understand that this was the consequence for their actions?” Hill filmed himself breaking down after the incident. Their team then regrouped to reflect and talk about next steps. “[There was] Lots of discussion on the fact that we were not prepared. You’re supposed to be able to take care of yourself out there,” he said.

TWO MILLION REASONS [Warning: some plot spoilers.] Two Million Reasons is a solid, well-composed look at Hill’s 2010 exploits. Hill narrates the film from a rooftop on Mackenzie Ave-

nue over the course of a day, explaining the highs and lows of his year-long quest to ski two-million vertical feet. The roughly 30-minute documentary was produced and edited locally by Frank Desrosiers; many of the production credits feature local talent, including lots of cameos from Revelstokians reflecting on their friend’s exploits. It’s a clean, up-tempo production that rollercoasters through the highs and lows of the year. The narration seemed appropriate; balancing a simple retelling of the story with a voice that was punchy and a bit keyed up. Likewise, the visuals are a good blend of great footage interspersed with detours

into oral and visual anecdotes from the year. It covers lots of ground without over-relying on montage and also takes some chances with some unconventional sidebars. After the euphoria of the first weeks, Hill had a scare right here on Mount Mackenzie. While doing some night laps, he skied into a winch cat cable, but escaped serious injury. The thick cables used by the grooming machines whip across the slope with deadly force. It was a moment to reflect: “Any little mistake and it’s over.” Two Million Reasons shows the already exceptional journey wasn’t a trick – such as spend-

Ballet Kelowna’s Double Variations features duelling duos Double Variations choreographed by James Maxwell & Simone Orlando and produced by Ballet Kelowna is the ﬁrst professional dance show on stage at the new Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Ballet Kelowna will have the honour and Revelstoke audiences the pleasure of partaking in the first professional dance production at the new Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre on Nov. 15. Revelstoke Museum & Archives curator told me the last time we had a proper theatrical stage was 1922, when the 24-year-old Revelstoke Opera House was torn down. Artistic Director David LaHay presents the five-part mixed program Double Variations focused around the theme of duelling dancers and choreographers. The brand-new piece Double Variations debuted in October this year and is one of five pieces featured, but before we get into that, we’ll have to back up to 1975 production of the Canadian masterpiece Lignes et Points by Montreal’s Les Grand Ballets Canadiens. The pioneering work by choreographers Brian Macdonald and Brydon Paige is based on a simple premise. The collaborators selected music for a piece, then split into separate rooms to choreograph with different dancers. The final production reunites the dancers on the stage in a synthesis of two unique visions. Ballet Kelowna brought together Vancouver choreographers Simone

Orlando and Joe Laughlin to create Double Variations, a conceptual extension of Lignes et Points. (Disclosure: Times Review editor Aaron Orlando is Simone Orlando’s brother.) This time around, the two choreographers worked together to unite contrasting visions, creating a unique synthesis with Ballet Kelowna dancers. “It’s a continuation of the idea of two creators coming together,” Orlando said in a telephone interview from Vancouver. “It’s quite rare to see two choreographers working on the same piece.” Orlando began her dance career in North Vancouver before completing her dance training at the National Ballet School in Toronto. She joined the National Ballet of Canada in 1989 and then danced with Ballet BC for 12 seasons. She began her career as a choreographer in 1997 and has been produced in New York, Toronto and beyond. She also worked at the Stuttgart Ballet alongside Artistic Director and Canadian dance icon Reid Anderson. Vancouver choreographer Joe Laughlin vaulted from a background in gymnastics into choreography, working on stage dance as well as theatre and TV. He’s the founding Artistic Director of Joe Ink, and has had his works produced around the world.

Orlando and Laughlin have collaborated before. Orlando danced the lead role in Laughlin’s 1996 piece L’Etiquette at the Banff Centre. For his choreography on that production, Laughlin garnered the Clifford E. Lee Choreography Award, a top Canadian choreography award presented to emerging choreographers. Orlando also went on to win the Clifford E. Lee award a decade later for her piece, Winter Journey, also at the Banff Centre. Although the contrasting Lignes et Points was the jumping off point, Orlando said the artists opted for a collaboration. “We wanted to be in the studio together, creating and generating all of the movements as a duo,” she said. “We wanted to learn from one another in the process.” Building on the theme of calligraphy of the body, the pair crafted a predominantly abstract piece combining fluid movements hinged on angular shapes. “The idea behind it was trying to see how the body or joints of the body could move as though they’re a ball-point pen,” Orlando said, to

“draw a little bit from the simplicity of the title of Lignes et Points [translation: lines and points.]” How was the partnership? “The joke was I’m kind of more detail oriented and he’s big picture,” Orlando said. “The combination of that worked really well.” Unconventionally, the choreographers worked alongside Vancouver composer James Maxwell, who based the newly-commissioned score on the dance. Maxwell returned to Vancouver and worked with cellist Ariel Barnes and harpist Heidi Krutzen (who form the duo Couloir) to create an original piece named ‘serene.’ The result fuses the unlikely cello/harp combination with electro-acoustics. “I think that we were both really pleased with the work, and [with] our own process and our own evolution as choreographers,” Orlando said. Double Variations features costumes by renowned costume designer Linda Chow. The mixed program features the White Swan and Black Swan pas de deux from Swan Lake. The

Kelowna Ballet version is based upon the 1885 Petipa/Ivanov/ Drigo revival of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake by the Imperial Ballet in St. Petersburg. Based on traditional Russian folk tales, the dark tragedy is probably more well known today as the basis for the 2010 psychological horror/thriller Black Swan, which was nominated for five Academy Awards and won Natalie Portman the Best Actress award. The production also features Les Pas de Quatre, an 1845 pieced by French dancer, balletmaster and choreographer Jules Perrot, set to the work of Italian composer Cesare Pugni. David LaHay’s short work Time Out is also featured. *** The Revelstoke Arts Council presents Ballet Kelowna’s Double Variations at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre on Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. as part of their Performing Arts Series. Show at 7:30. Tickets $20 at Talisman Trading on Mackenzie Avenue or the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre.

Grizzlies continue uneven play with split of weekend games

Spencer Samuel scored twice on Sunday to help lead the Revelstoke Grizzlies to a 2-1 win over the Kamloops Storm. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Times Review staff

The Revelstoke Grizzlies split their weekend games, losing to the Chase Heat 5-3 on Friday and beating the Kamloops Storm 2-1 on Sunday. On Friday the Grizzlies limped into Chase to take on the last place Heat with several key players injured, leaving coach Kevin Kraus with a short bench. It was the duo of Kurtis John-

son and Shelby Kotsyshen that led Chase to victory, with the former picking up three goals and an assists and the latter two goals and two assists. Revelstoke found itself trailing for most of the game, with Chase scoring first at 11:26. Jordan Holloway equalled the score for Revelstoke with 4:41 to go, but Chase regained the lead with 90 seconds left in the period. The Heat added to its lead

early in the second, when Johnson scored his second of the night. Riley Creighton brought Revelstoke back within one later in the frame, with local minior hockey product Chevy Hantula picking up his first point of the season on the play. In the third period, Kotsyshen restored Chase's two-goal lead with just under six minutes left in the period. Darnel St. Pierre brought Revelstoke back with one goal only 47 seconds later, but an empty net goal iced the win for Chase with only three seconds left. The final shots on goal were 42-41 for Revelstoke. On Sunday, Revelstoke headed to Kamloops, who began the day in second place in the Doug Birks Division, six points ahead of Revelstoke. It was an opportunity for Revelstoke to gain some ground on its division rivals, and move further ahead of the Heat in the standings. Kamloops dominated the first period, outshooting the Grizzlies 16-3, but strong play by goaltender Aaron Brandoli kept Revelstoke in the game. In the second, Spencer Samuel scored two goals, which proved to be enough as Revelstoke held on in the third period for the win. The weekend split leaves the Grizzlies in fourth place in the division with a 9-7-1 record. The team is six points up on Chase, two points back of Sicamous for third, and only seven points behind the league-leading North Okanagan Knights. The team has a chance to make up some ground when they host the Knights this Saturday, Nov. 10. First, thought, they travel to Penticton on Friday for a match against the Posse.

Revelstoke Racquet Den Squash Club president Kevin Dorrius is calling last weekend's Bear's Den Classic Squash Tournament a smashing success. Dorrius said the squash scene has "exploded" this year in Revelstoke, ballooning to about 75 members. "We've got some really experienced players," he said. 44 players participated in the tournament; 24 for were locals, showing the Revelstoke club's tournament is attracting players from out of town. Those interested in trying out squash can attend Tuesday night player development clinics where experienced players help begin-

ners out with the game. The Junior program will take some pioneering steps again this season. There are 24 Juniors this season with eight of them participating in the competitive program. They are off to compete at the Vancouver Lawn, Tennis and Badminton Club soon. The event will be the Junior program's first trip out of town. Some Junior players are setting their sites on qualifying for the BC Junior Open in January. Tournament results are as follows: Mens A • 1st: Stuart Smith, Revelstoke • 2nd: Bryan Woodward, Revelstoke • Cons: Jeremy Tymkiw, Salmon Arm

On Remembrance Day, we remember those who have fallen. But each and every day we must show that we value all that we have been given. And we must commit ourselves to looking after others, protecting our freedom, and furthering our democratic

responsibilities. Along with our children and grandchildren, our continued attendance at Remembrance Day ceremonies shows that we are keeping faith with our veterans. And we prove through our actions that we will never forget. Norm Macdonald MLA Columbia River - Revelstoke will be attending Remembrance Day ceremonies in Revelstoke this year.

REMEMBRANCE BY DAVID WILKS

Remembrance Day is a time when we honour the valour and sacrifices of Canadians who fought in WWI, WWII, the Korean War, on peacekeeping missions and in Afghanistan. They defended our country and stood up for our values and our freedom.

I would like to particularly honour one individual for whom I have great respect and admiration. Mr. Bob Doratty, who is now 97, landed on Juno Beach on June 6, 1944 in the final push by our Canadian troops to liberate Europe from German occupation. Bob was 27 years old on that historic day. His platoon was one of the first to land on Juno Beach. He received a Commendation medal from General Montgomery. Upon returning to Canada after the war he married his bride, Molly, and together they just celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. There are not many veterans left from Juno Beach. As we approach Remembrance Day, I, along with all Canadians, will pay homage to

Honouring the men and women who have bravely served our country.

The Regent Hotel 112 East First Street, Revelstoke, B.C. 250-837-2107 • regenthotel.ca

all members, past and present, of the armed forces for their service. I recently had the honour of presenting the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal to Mr. Doratty and I would like to extend a special thanks to him for all he has done for Canada. On Sunday the 11th, I hope you will join me in taking part in one of the many Remembrance Day ceremonies in our community. This year, I will be attending ceremonies in Golden. And, to the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces: on behalf of myself, my family, and the residents of Kootenay Columbia, thank you for your service. Lest we forget.

Revelstoke skiing activity declines during Second World War A struggle to keep the community’s ski culture alive resulted when more than 400 men enlisting to serve during the war, including many of Revelstoke’s top skiers. Older skiers worked hard to engage youth to take part in the sport in order to ensure its survival in the community. BY THE REVELSTOKE MUSEUM & ARCHIVES

This is the fourth of an eight-part series of excerpts from First Tracks: A History of Skiing in Revelstoke, the latest book from the Revelstoke Museum & Archives.

THE WAR YEARS

The 1939 tournament was the last big one in Revelstoke for several years. On September 10, 1939, Canada joined Britain and France in declaring war on Germany. For a few years, Hans Gunnarsen, Earl Pletsch and Art Johnson continued to compete successfully in North America but by 1942 more than 400 men from Revelstoke had enlisted in the military, including several top

skiers. The years 1942 to 1945 showed a marked decline in skiing activity, though many older skiers worked hard to engage high school students in the sport. A poignant editorial in the Revelstoke Review on February 13, 1943, shows how the community struggled to keep its ski heritage alive without its champion skiers: Despite conditions, which have taken the majority of Revelstoke’s best skiers into the armed forces, the youngsters, aided by a few enthusiastic oldsters, are trying to keep interest pepped up in the ski sport, which has done so much in the last quarter of a century to publicize Revelstoke. Many of the winners of the various events of past years are now doing service for their King and Country and none would be more anxious than they to see the lure of ski sport kept alive in Revelstoke during their absence. The youngsters who are trying to keep interest in the sport maintained are staging a jumping tourney next Wednesday. There is a wealth of available material and these kids ought to be encouraged to the fullest extent. In their ranks may be future Nels Nelsens or Bob Lymburnes who will again put Revelstoke on the map as the world’s

Elliot was amongst a group of Aussie airmen who came to Revelstoke on leave from action in the Second World War in January of 1943, The Revelstoke Review describe the exploits of some of the skiers, including Ray ‘Snowy’ Belamy: “We wish that ‘Snowy’ could reside in town and join the Ski Club. He’s such a ‘whizz’ on skis,” the Review wrote. “Having been on the planks little more than half a dozen times, he claims that the road from ‘Suicide’ ski jump is far too tame for him and comes tearing down along the trail yelling ‘blue murder.’ photo courtesy revelstoke museum & archives

Spirits sink as human toll rises foremost skiing centre. During the war, a group of Australian air force men came to Revelstoke on leave. In January 1943, the Revelstoke Review’s ‘Skeen and Skheard’ ski column noted that there were fewer skiers on the trails and that “a great percentage of the skiers are the ‘Aussie’ visitor.” The columnist described one “very avid and adept” Australian neophyte named Ray Belamy, or Snowy: We wish that ‘Snowy’ could reside in town and join the Ski Club. He’s such a ‘whizz’ on skis. Having been on the planks little more than half a dozen times, he claims that the road from ‘Suicide’ ski jump is far too tame for him and comes tearing down along the trail yelling ‘blue murder.’ His greatest ambition at present is to climb Mount Revelstoke, having seen so many beautiful snow scenes of that locale. Being an ‘Aussie,’ he ‘wants to see for himself.’ Sadly, at least 32 young soldiers from Revelstoke were killed during the war and Hans Gunnarsen was among them. In 1946, the Big Bend jump was renamed the “Hans Gunnarsen Jump” to honour the celebrated jumper. The 1946 tournament at the Hans Gunnarsen Hill spurred a revival of large tournaments and ski jumping; the following year Revelstoke again hosted the Western Canadian Ski Championships which once again drew ski trains from Vancouver. *** First Tracks, the History of Skiing in Revelstoke, is due out in early December. Pre-orders can be made at the Revelstoke Museum & Archives or by calling 250-837-3067. The book is $40 inc. HST if ordered before Dec. 1, and $45 inc. HST afterwards.

A trip to St. Elias in the Yukon took Hill off-pace for the record as he lost time travelling there, then didn’t find the easy slopes he was hoping for. “Instead there’s these huge seracs and deep, dark yawning crevasses,” he said. “It’s intimidating terrain that not even me – with all my confidence – I don’t

His son, however, gave him pause when they were parting ways in South America. “I said, ‘Aiden, do you understand what’s happening here? He looks up at me [with] his innocent three-year-old eyes and he says, ‘Yeah, daddy, I understand. You’re here, you’re going to ski for another three weeks and then you’re going to die.’ “That has echoed in my head ever since,” Hill said. He carried

Obituaries William Wallace (Wally) Warner May 22, 1920 – Oct. 25, 2012

“WWW” It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our father, William Wallace (Wally) Warner on October 25, 2012, in Salmon Arm. Survived by Clelia, his loving wife of 59 years, his life was always “family first” and included Kathy (Knud), Gary (Leslie), Jack (Brenda) and Patti, grandchildren Chris, Jeff, Evan, Brendan, Emily, Alex, Justin, and Shannon, and great grandchildren Adam and Anna. “WWW” was born May 22, 1920 in Saskatchewan and left school early to help support his family during the depression. After early years of breaking horses and branding cattle, our Dad moved to Vancouver Island where he worked on a sawmill green chain. At the start of the Second World War he joined the Canadian Navy and served until his discharge on VE day. He started his career at the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1946 as an operator in Yahk, BC, before being transferred to Revelstoke in 1950 where he met “the most beautiful stenographer I had ever seen”. He married Clelia Lazzarotto on May 8, 1953, in Revelstoke. Together they moved to Nelson where all four children were born. Our Dad always had a passion for the outdoors and spent time hunting, fishing, camping, and working to develop our summer property on Kootenay Lake. Dad was transferred to Revelstoke in 1968 as the Chief Dispatcher and then to Vancouver in 1972 as the Assistant Superintendent of Transportation for the Pacific Region. After 39 years, Dad retired on June1, 1985, and was described by Mr. J.D. Bromley, Senior Regional Vice President as “The Best Transportation Man in the History of CP Rail.” Our Mom and Dad spent many happy hours in their retirement working on their properties at Anaheim Lake and Shuswap Lake, fishing the Dean River, and taking their trailer to Mexico during the winter. Dad was always happiest when surrounded by family and working around his cabin at Annis Bay. He would only stop to watch the trains go by and wave at the engineers, many of whom remembered Dad and were happy to salute him with a toot of the horn. He will be greatly missed by family and the many friends he made during his working career. In lieu of flowers, a donation could be made to the Salvation Army, Dad’s charity of choice. A celebration of life will follow.

Sex and the Kitty

We regret to announce the passing of Lily on Saturday, October 27th at Bastion Place in Salmon Arm, with her husband Kurt and family and friends by her side. She will be missed by all who knew her. By request there will be no service, but a celebration of life will follow at a later date.

A single unspayed cat can produce 470,000 offspring in just seven years. Sadly, most of them end up abandoned at BC SPCA shelters or condemned to a grim life on the streets. Be responsible - don’t litter.

It is with heartfelt sadness we regret to announce the passing of Helen Voykin on October 27, 2012 at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Mom was predeceased by her husband Alex Voykin in 1981, her parents Teresa and John Zwarych and sister Gloria Zwarych. She will be sadly missed by her daughters Linda (Bill) Hill of Revelstoke, Shelley (Shannon) Voykin of New Westminster, Glenda Dolman of Lumby as well as grandchildren Dru (Melissa, Drake and Cameron), Heather, Carley and Cody.

Mom moved to Revelstoke in 1956, originally living on the Hillcrest Farm with her family. In 1957 Mom began working for the McKinnon family on the Standard Dairy Farm, and in 1960 she earned her Dairy Short Course, and Pasteurizer Operator ticket. Mom worked in the dairy processing milk until the High Arrow Dam and the planned Ă&#x20AC;ooding of the Columbia Valley forced a switch. Standard Dairy then began carrying Dairyland milk products, and the operation moved to Nichol Road two years later. Mom delivered milk to commercial businesses for a handful of years and will be remembered as the woman who zipped around town in her yellow milk truck and Dairyland uniform. McGregorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Motor Inn was the recipient of Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard work and dedication for a number of years. Whether she was the Dining Room Hostess, serving drinks in the lounge, or booking rooms at the hotel front desk, Mom ran a tight ship and put up with no Tom-foolery!

In the early 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mom switched careers again and went to work for Jake-Jay Holdings (Jim, Jack, and Bill McKinnon) as the OfÂżce Administration person. Mom worked there for close to twenty years before retiring in the early 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. In 1983 Mom was awarded the Employee of the Year Award. Retirement brought gardening, travel, family visits, and a time in Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life when she was able to relax and have fun. She golfed, bowled, cross-stitched, knit, and maintained a beautiful yard and gardens. And told stories. If there was anything you wanted to know about the town or its people, you could just ask Mom. After Jimmyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 2005 Mom turned her work skills and energy to the Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store; it was truly a God-send. A Celebration of Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life took place at the Revelstoke Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Centre on Saturday, November 3, 2012. We would like to thank Diane and Gary Wiege for their tremendous friendship and support to Mom, especially in this past year. Thank you also to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;all the women and men at the Thrift Storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; where Mom spent so many hours; she shared many tales of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and of you with us. A heart-felt thanks to Dr. Sara Brown for her compassion and attentiveness to our Mom as she navigated this last part of her life. Your care will always be remembered. Thanks as well for all the kindness and support from the medical staff here in Revelstoke and elsewhere. A fund has been established to install a memorial bench, to be placed overlooking the Pioneer McKinnon Farm. To make a donation, please send to Revelstoke City Hall, in memory of Joan Adair.

Avalanche experts present backcountry workshop World-leading avalanche experts deliver helpful avalanche workshop aimed at beginner to upper-intermediate backcountry users AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Canadian Avalanche Centre is bringing together a panel of avalanche experts for a day-long backcountry workshop that will present the latest in practical information from avalanche researchers. The day-long Nov. 10 session is designed for backcountry users with a range of avalanche experience who’d like to consolidate and update their general knowledge. “We’re very excited to be holding an event of this size in our home town,” says Karl Klassen, acting Executive Director of the CAC. “Our lineup of speakers was chosen for both relevance and the quality of communication. They all have important messages and they’ll be delivering those messages in ways that are both entertaining and thought-provoking.” The panellists are all leading experts in their special area of knowledge and research: CMH guide Rob Whalen will help you sort through the problems that can arise when members of your party are carrying different transceivers. The signals can interfere with each other and create confusion in the critical moments following avalanches. Learn the issues and the solutions. Grant Statham is a mountain risk expert with Parks Canada. He’ll be presenting on the new avalanche bulletin

system that was adopted last season by the Canadian Avalanche Centre. Learn how to fine tune your understanding of the information presented in the new format. Grant Helgeson and James Floyer will present on avalanche character. Learn subtle differences between the types of avalanches with the goal of improving your ability to manage risk in avalanche country. If things go wrong you can always pull the airbbag rip cord right? Not really. Pascal Haegeli is a post-doc student at Simon Fraser University who’s studying behavioural decision making in the avalanche context. As part of his research he’s painstakingly compiled statistics on air bag deployments. Learn when they can work and when they don’t -- which can depend on where the avalanche catches you. Uwe Gramman is a meteorologist who worked for Environment Canada for years and now works in the avalanche field. He’ll teach you how to better use online weather forecasting tools to plan your trips. The event will be emceed by Revelstoke’s own Joe Lammers. There’ll be hands-on demos, draw prizes and more. Saturday, Nov. 10 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre. $20 at the door or $15 with food bank donation. Contact the Canadian Avalanche Centre at 250-8372141 for more info.
