Council considers performing arts centre funding request
The Revelstoke Arts Council wants $25,000 annually from the City of Revelstoke to help fund the new Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre, but Mayor David Raven says council wasn’t asked for a longterm funding commitment before the centre was built and a staff member was hired. Meanwhile, the Revelstoke Theatre Company wants free use of the Century Vallen building as a production space and possible new theatre space in the long-term.

There’s never a good time to come to city council with hat in hand asking for funding, but the timing of the Revelstoke Arts Council’s request for $25,000 per year to help support the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre (RPAC) wasn’t ideal. Council is in the middle of a month-long budget comment period, with the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce and the city budget focus group both advocating for lower taxes and a hard look at the long-term financial sustainability of city operations. The public comment period also means council can’t tag any extra budget items onto the tax bill.
Miriam Manley, the parttime, paid theatre manager at the RPAC, presented the Revelstoke Arts Council’s case for long-term, annual funding of $25,000 from the city for the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre at council’s March 12 meeting. Manley, who was hired as parttime coordinator of the 275-seat theatre at Revelstoke Secondary School, said the centre had been a success in its first season, but it needed city help to build the Arts Council’s vision for the facility. “We feel that we can have a wider economic impact in terms of job creation and in terms of spinoff businesses, making links between the arts and business and linking

Theatre company wants new home in city-owned building from page 1 with other partner organizations in the community,” Manley told city council. In a written submission, Manley said the centre had racked up 3,553 visits in its first six months. Manley outlined a vision for the centre as a presentation centre and rental facility offering projection services, catering, marketing support, sound and lighting support and more. “We also feel that the performing arts centre is very important for community cohesion,” Manley said. “It means that the local community can come out and enjoy the performance together, they can often learn something, or have a different kind of experience and it leads to a sense of pride in the community and a real sense of identity as well.” (Visit this story on www.revelstoketimesreview.com to read the report) Council didn’t discuss the request; they’ll have to wait until after Mar. 28 when the budget comment period ends. In a telephone interview, Revelstoke Mayor David Raven said the request raised concerns. “You’ve written lots of articles about it,” Raven said. “We’re getting beat up for not being able to reduce taxes and then … here’s more funding requests and incremental service level [rises], so council are going to have to put it in that context.” Raven said neither himself nor council would be making any decisions until after Mar. 28, but any outcome would likely involve more research, including a look at the background that led up to the request. Who else could fund the theatre? How can all parties involved come together more? They’ll seek answers to the questions. Raven said the city has been anticipating a funding request, but they’d opted to take a wait-and-see approach. The city was represented on an advisory committee that hashed out the theatre’s operating model; the key players were the Revelstoke School District and the Revelstoke Arts Council. “Council was anticipating that there would be a pressure from different groups with respect to the new facility, however, given the choice we

said, ‘No, let’s just see if these people can fund them on their own;’ if they are able to survive without having to come back to the taxpayers for subsidies. “It comes back to the old trade-off between revenue and service levels.” Raven added. Raven also raised another dilemma. The Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre directly competes with the heritage Roxy Theatre. “Do you start supporting other organizations that would be competing with the business community?” he asked. Although the Roxy doesn’t have the stage theatre capabilities of the RPAC, with its recent digital and sound upgrades, the Roxy is arguably a better venue for movies, film festivals and even live digital broadcasts. Yet the RPAC managed to lure the Banff Mountain Film Festival away from the Roxy this year – the reason was largely a cheaper rental price, no doubt due to governmentfunding through the Neighbourhoods of Learning initiative that funded construction, and ongoing quasi-governmental support from the Columbia Basin Trust and others. Revelstoke Arts Council chairperson Carol Paladino said the process to hammer out a funding model for the theatre moved quickly. A committee was formed in March of 2012, but up until then, nobody knew how the theatre would operate. Palladino noted community involvement in deciding where the provincial Neighbourhoods of Learning funding would be spent (the the-
atre and the acrobats trampoline centre), saying that indicated support in the community. “How did anybody think it was going to operate?” Palladino asked. “That conversation seemed to not take place until two months before it opened.” The committee hammered out the existing structure, hiring Manley for a year. The Arts Council emerged as the organization that Manley reports to. Like many arts organizers, part of her job is paying her own salary. Palladino noted their efforts to get funding through the CBT, BC Gaming and several other arts funding streams. “We’re waiting on funds from a variety of places,” she said. She knows city funding is a tough sell. “I’d be very surprised if the city had any extra money to spare,” she said, adding “The city [and] community agreed to have this fabulous gift.” Palladino emphasized the Arts Council’s vision for the centre. The first is to grow the centre into a more prominent, regional arts destination that could attract artists, cultural events and other performances. “More, different, bigger,” she said. “In the long run, get to be a town that’s known for really good quality performance,” she said, adding that attracting a big-name performer like Stuart McLean (for example) could draw audiences in from elsewhere. She also said the Revelstoke Arts Council is acting as an incubator for the centre right now; she envisions the RPAC as a standalone organization.

“At the end of the day I do think that there needs to be something that comes from the city,” Palladino said. “We’re not expecting them to staff it like they staff the arena, or the community centre.” Palladino also said she understands the Revelstoke Board of Education’s policy of not funding the theatre. In fact, the school district bills the theatre for utilities and other costs.
Revelstoke Theatre Company wants new building for production space
Adding to the financial implications of theatre funding to the city, the Revelstoke Theatre Company is about to proceed to city council for a request to permanently locate to the old Century Vallen building adjacent to the Revelstoke Fire Hall. Revelstoke Theatre Company Artistic Director and President Anita Hallewas said the theatrical group doesn’t have anywhere to build sets, store wardrobes, rehearse or carry out the day-to-day business of a theatre group. The company has an agreement with the Powder Springs Inn to use the new MacGregor’s Theatre space at the hotel, but that doesn’t include the needed backstage facilities. The RPAC also doesn’t have the necessary backstage space to create sets and host their equipment, so they want to locate to the Century Vallen building.
Hallewas said the plan is largely for a behind-the-scenes workspace and home for the theatre company, but said long-term future plans could include the construction of a small performance space inside the Century Vallen building. She noted the company has a good working relationship with the Powder Springs ownership, but said things could always change and that the theatre company remained essentially homeless. Hallewas said a recent city initiative to reign in freebies at the Revelstoke Community Centre has led to rental fees that make staging rehearsals at the Revelstoke Community Centre cost-prohibitive. Prior to the construction of Revelstoke Mountain Resort, the theatre company paid a nominal-fee rental for the Mackenzie Playhouse, an old converted fraternal lodge near the RMR base. The theatre company is hoping for a similar arrangement, such as a $1 per year lease. That request is due before council in the coming weeks. Back in the resort development halcyon days of 2008, city council opted to fork over a whopping $532,227 for a modest cinder block building that’s sloughing off in one corner. It was sort of a ‘future draft pick’ of property acquisition – at the time, the city wanted to consolidate their ownership of the block containing the fire department and the community centre parking lot. Subsequently, a bid for the Revelstoke Ski Museum failed, so the building is serving as the winter home for the city’s many, many memorial benches and other equipment.
Council still considering request
Mayor Raven said council would likely consider the two theatre-related requests together. “Is there a role [for the city] here, if any?” Raven asked. “Are there other ways of bringing these groups together to share?”

Boy, 10, found after urgent search by Revelstoke RCMP Aaron Orlando
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
A boy was found after the Revelstoke RCMP launched an emergency search for a 10-year-old who went missing at the Revelstoke Tim Hortons restaurant at about 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday, Mar. 20. An initial dispatch on Revelstoke RCMP radio just before 2:30 p.m. indicated the Revelstoke boy went to the bathroom at the adjoining Shell station and didn’t return to his waiting mother. She contacted the police, who immediately started a search. RCMP members could be heard scouring restaurants and hotels in the area around the Revelstoke Tim Hortons. They soon called in all available auxiliary police officers and notified surrounding police detachments, taking steps to set up checkpoints on the highways and the Arrow Lakes ferry. Police reviewed the video surveillance system from the Shell station and fanned out across town as their search area expanded. The boy’s mother, Delphine Har-
vey, was visiting from Ontario. She had dropped the youngster off at the bathroom at the Shell station, then went inside the adjoining Tim Hortons to order. When the boy came out, he thought his mom had left and decided to walk home. The boy was eventually found near the Southside Market just before 3 p.m. The mother was overcome with relief when the police announced they located the boy, almost 45 minutes after he disappeared at the busy restaurant near the highway. The father, Gerrard Kampman, was called to the scene from work. He was incredibly relieved to hear his son Max had been found. “It was a shock. I’m really happy that he was here,” he said. At one point, the disappearance took an ominous turn; a dispatcher instructed all police members to be on the lookout for a suspicious older man in a minivan seen near Max just before he disappeared. ~with notes and photos by Carl BR Johnson
Paramedic, children amongst those injured in Trans-Canada crashes Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Eight people were taken to hospital with minor injuries following a series of crashes on the Trans-Canada Highway west of Revelstoke Thursday morning, RCMP said. It appears the first crash happened near the Enchanted Forest sometime around 8 a.m. Two people were involved and taken to Queen Victoria Hospital as a precaution. Most of the chaos happened at Three Valley Gap. First, a westbound semi-truck lost control and flipped onto its passenger side on the westbound shoulder of the highway. The trailer broke loose, slid down the embankment and crashed into a car that had pulled onto the Three Valley Gap Frontage Road before the crash. The driver of the semi was injured and taken to Queen Victoria Hospital.
The father and his two young children in the car were not injured but were taken to hospital as a precaution. Meanwhile, an ambulance that was on the way to the first crash at the Enchanted Forest stopped at the scene at Three Valley Gap, where it was clipped by another westbound semitruck. A paramedic and the driver of the semi both suffered minor injuries and were taken to Queen Victoria Hospital. The crashes closed the highway eight kilometres west of Revelstoke to 40 kilometres west of Revelstoke. It re-opened at around 9:45 a.m. There is no word yet on the cause of the accidents, though DriveBC is reporting slushy and slippery conditions west of Revelstoke. The RCMP is investigating the crashes.

MP Wilks touts infrastructure investments in Federal budget Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Significant investments in infrastructure are highlights of Thursday’s Federal budget, says Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks. Wilks, a Conservative Party MP, touted the Build Canada Fund, Community Improvement Fund and increases in gas tax funding as elements of the budget that should benefit residents of his riding. The 2013 budget, announced by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty on Thursday, includes a $14 billion over the next 10 years for the Build Canada plan to support economic projects of national, regional and local significance. Wilks said some of that money could go towards improvements to the Trans-Canada Highway. “I would hope so,” he said. “It’s a significant amount of money and replenishes the Build Canada fund. I will make sure I work my hardest that some of that money goes to fix the Trans-Canada.” The budget also allocates $19 million to Parks Canada for improvements to the Trans-Canada Highway within the country’s national parks. Wilks said most of that money will likely go to Yoho and Glacier National Parks.
“From what I’ve seen I really appreciate the spending on the Trans-Canada,” said mayor David Raven. “It’s a start, but it’s not enough, Between the two parks, the $19 million won’t be going very far. It will maybe paint some lines and fix some potholes.” The BC Liberal government has promised more than $500 million over the next 10 years to twin the Trans-Canada Highway from Kamloops to the Alberta border, however the money is contingent on matching funds from the Federal government. Wilks also cited changes to the Community Improvement Fund that expands the type of projects that municipalities can apply for federal improvement fund. The budget allocates $32.2 billion to the fund over the next 10 years. The fund includes $21.8 billion in gas tax fund payments and $10.4 billion in GST rebates to municipalities. “The new Community Improvement Fund will afford municipalities greater flexibility to allocate federal support to a broader range of infrastructure priorities and that’s what I was pushing,” said Wilks. Mayor Raven said that while he hadn’t looked closely at the budget, he was excited about any additional municipal funding.
“The problem of course is the one-third share the municipality has to come up with,” he said. “If that’s the case, we’ll have to take a good hard look at it in the context of our budget deliberations.” Alex Atamanenko, the NDP MP for BC Southern Interior, said the budget falls short of delivering results for people in rural B.C. “The government promised to focus on jobs but has not introduced any new measures to create meaningful employment,” he said in a press release. “It is good that skills training is seen as an important step to get more people into the workforce. However, there is no real new money.” The budget creates a Canada Job Grant, which will see the government provide $5,000 to a business willing to train a worker, however the funds must be matched by the provinces and the business. Atamanenko said this will create confusion as to who is responsible for skills training. “My constituents are telling me they’re looking for investments in front line public services, a job creation strategy, a better transit system, improved home care for seniors and a national housing strategy, to name a few,” said Atamanenko. “Instead the government is ploughing ahead with
cuts to pensions, healthcare and EI ignoring the serious threats facing our economy.”

Tired of tax hikes in the City of Revelstoke? How about move outside the city boundaries instead? Residents of the rural Revelstoke area will see their taxes go down after the Columbia–Shuswap Regional District passed its 2013 budget last week. While the overall tax requisition for Area B, which stretches from Trout Lake in the south to Mica in the north, has gone up by 0.3 per cent, an overall rise in property values in the region means the tax rate will go down by two per cent per resident. That means the average home, with a value of $180,210, will see its tax bill fall to $149.88 from $153.57. The money will go to fund regional government services, the Revelstoke Airport, the Revelstoke Cemetery, weed control, mosquito control, the emergency preparedness program, the CSRD film commission, and community parks. There are increases in IT costs, recycling, 911 costs, mapping, development services and cemetery contributions. Meanwhile, the district is saving through decreases in funding to the emergency preparedness program, an absence of grants-in-aid, and a near elimination of costs for
Shelter Bay development passes third reading An Official Community Plan amendment for a huge development near the Shelter Bay ferry passed third reading and will now be going to the B.C. government for approval. The Columbia-Shuswap Regional District’s Board of Director gave the amendment third reading at its monthly meeting on Thurday, Mar. 21. The amendment would change the Area B Rural Revelstoke OCP substantially by allowing for the 767-unit development being proposed by Shelter Bay Lands Ltd., which is owned by Ender Ilkay. Currently, the OCP does not allow the type of cluster development being proposed. The development proposes a mix of single family lots of various sizes, duplexes, townhouses and RV lots; a marina, lodge, restaurant, spa, fitness facility and other amenities. Most of the development will be located around Highway 23 South, with the rest of the land set aside for a network of hiking, mountain biking and cross-country skiing trails. The amendment has moved
through the regional district relatively smoothly, with little opposition, and only a few concerns being issued at a public hearing in January. Senior planner Scott Beeching attributed this to the pro-active approach taken by the proponent, who held two open houses and had several meetings with the Area B Advisory Planning Commission before beginning the OCP amendment process. Still, the passage wasn’t without reservations. In a report to the board, Beeching wrote, “the proposed development will be a significant intrusion into a generally remote rural area. The total number of units is extremely high compared to what exists now, however there is an opportunity to limit the impact by clustering the residential units together. “The applicant has been working with the CSRD and the public for a number of years and has responded to public concerns. The OCP amendment now requires approval from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. It will then return to the board for final adoption. The staff report notes there will be opportunity for further public input as the development goes through the zoning, subdivision and development permit processes.

scene. Revelstoke RCMP, Revelstoke Victim Services and the B.C. Coroners Service were on hand to assist with the investigation. According to the Glacier National Park avalanche bulletin, the avalanche happened on a west aspect at about 2,600 metres in elevation. The avalanche failed on a surface hoar sitting on a sun crust. The slab was 25 centimetres deep, 100 metres wide and 120 metres long. The victim was buried 1.9 metres deep, the bulletin stated. The avalanche danger was rated considerable in the alpine on Sunday, meaning natural avalanches were possible and human triggered avalanches likely. It was the second fatal avalanche of the weekend.

MLA REPORT
BY NORM MACDONALD As we prepare to head into another election, there will be plenty of discussion about the falling rates of voter turnout. And eligible voters between the ages of 18 and 25 are least likely to vote. This is a very sad fact considering the vast majority of
elected officials at all levels of government are over 40. And these demographic factors create a situation where the issues that are of most importance to younger members of our society can be completely overlooked. As the MLA for Columbia River – Revelstoke, every year I visit high school classrooms to talk about the Parliamentary system and the issues that matter to students. And even when the class I am attending is on a Monday morning or the last class on Friday, I find students to be highly engaged. They are articulate and well-informed, and they are excited about the prospect of voting.
But sadly, based on the statistics, many of these students will become one of the many in this age bracket that doesn’t vote. The Chief Electoral Officer of British Columbia has recommended that the age of voter registration should be lowered to 16 to enable Elections BC to register new voters while they are still in school. And the evidence shows that young people who are registered to vote are more likely to make their voices heard at election time. In response to the Chief Electoral Officer’s recommendation, the New Democrats have tabled legislation that will lower the age of voter registra-
tion to 16. Unfortunately, the BC Liberals chose not to proceed with the legislation during the last Legislative session before the election. But the New Democrats have promised, should we be chosen to form government, that we will pass this important piece of legislation. Make sure that you are registered with Elections BC. If you did not recently receive a voting card in the mail from Elections BC, you need to check your registration. You can register online at www.elections. bc.ca. Norm Macdonald (NDP) is the MLA for Columbia River– Revelstoke.

The gnatty-gritty of Revelstoke’s dreadlock culture Editor’s note: Journalism student Carl BR Johnson is interning at the Revelstoke Times Review for part of March and April. Amongst many other assignments, we asked the Calgarian to look for things about Revelstoke that stick out to an outsider like him, then write about them. His first observation will drive certain Stoke List trolls into apoplectic rage fits; to Johnson, Revelstoke is a dreadlocked town. Wait! Before you break your keyboard mashing an angry anonymous post about unclean hippies with dreadlocks driving our once-proud community to hell-in-a-handbasket, read Carl’s story about the individual with some of the most impressive dreads in town. Maybe it’ll change your mind. Or maybe not. Carl BR Johnson
Special to the Revelstoke Times Review
Being from Calgary, I don’t see many people with dreadlocks, and when I do, I usually join my fellow Calgarians in the ritual stare as if we had just seen something from another planet. Legend has it that when Julius Caesar first saw the Celts sporting dreadlocks, he claimed they had, “hair like snakes.” And when I arrived in Revelstoke recently, I started to notice an unusually high number of people with the snake-like hairstyle, and one in particular, Maggie Davis. Davis is an employee at the Last
Maggie Davis’ dreadlocks are pretty hard to ignore, as they are an important part of her individuality. Carl BR Johnson/Revelstoke Times Review
Drop Pub in Revelstoke, with a very prominent and quite developed collection of ‘dreads’. At first glance, she’s an attractive, easy-going 26 year old with a bubbly persona and an ever-present smile complete with a ‘far out dude’ demeanour. She would easily fit into the kind of nomadic group of hippie girl types that were found everywhere, especially in San Francisco, U.S., during the Sexual Revolution in the ‘60s. As we sit down together in the cozy Last Drop Pub, her rasping voice sounds much like a young Demi Moore, with which she easily slides into my heart, “whaddya wanna know Carl?”
Dreadlocks for her are a symbol of “my teenage rebellion,” and she has been sporting this hairstyle for 13 years. “They [dreadlocks] have become a part of me as an individual,” says Davis. “They have shaped me as an individual and have helped me in how I look at others and I don’t feel weird about being judged because of the way I look.” Davis says that once in a while, she’ll get someone staring at her, but she’ll get positive comments too from people – something she loves to hear. “I love it when people ask me questions about my hair.” She surmised that many in Revelstoke might have this hairstyle
ROYAL CANADIAN LEgION BRANCH 46 On behalf of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 46 we would like to give the community of Revelstoke some much needed information regarding our branch and just what we do for our community. First of all we are a NON-PROFIT organization. The more that our facilities are used, the more we can donate back into our community.
because this town has become a Mecca for adventurists. Those who engage in sports such as skiing, snowmobiling and snowboarding especially, are commonly found with dreads, like her. She snowboards at the local hill three to five times a week, something else that has become a part of her. As we continue, I become more and more enchanted by her overwhelmingly positive attitude for life. Her individualism exudes a distinctive character that could illuminate the darkest of corners and I can’t help but become intoxicated from her energy. “Right on man!” But Davis concedes that even in forward-thinking Revelstoke, there is a certain stigma that dreads have with regards to the myth of walking around with unwashed hair. She is quick to dispel that notion by saying she keeps her hair quite clean. “I’m so proud and happy to be a part of the stigma that people with dreads have, it’s a beautiful thing.” Davis says that there is a definite ‘dreadlock culture’ that encompasses people like her – it’s not just a hairstyle, it’s a hippie, peace-loving way of life. “People with this kind of hair are very conscious people – conscious of their bodies, what they eat, what they wear. That’s my whole persona; classic-rock, flower-child. This hair is definitely a throw-back from the hippie era. I was born in the wrong century.”
She also noticed that many people in Revelstoke have dreads and she chose to move here from Golden because, “the sense of community is stronger here than Golden.” According to religionfacts.com, dreadlocks have roots (pun intended) in the Rastafari movement that came about in Jamaica during the 1930s; those who were a part of this movement were known as ‘Rastas’ or ‘Rastafarians.’ The wearing of dreadlocks has also become a spiritualist ritual with some sects of Hinduism. South Asian holy men and women who were part of the Hindu sect known as ‘Sadhus,’ were known as ascetic wandering monks. They believed that locks of hair are considered sacred, and part of their religious practice was to shun profane vanity. Dreadlocks were adopted for them because of the low amount of maintenance required for this hair-style type and that coiffure became a pinnacle of the Sadhus’ modus-operandi. It was part of their spiritual understanding to believe that physical appearances are unimportant in the grand scheme of things. Davis agrees that many like her are very spiritually open people and their dreads are a method of spiritual selfexpression. “Many people I know with dreads are a lot like me – very earthy, spiritual types,” says Davis. “I’ll probably have these for the rest of my life.”

Our Branch was rebuilt in 1963 with three levels. (Hall, Lounge and Meeting room). All three of these levels require minor upgrades and renovations to coincide with todays era. In the past two years our members have worked incredibly hard to make some of these renovations happen. In 2012 we are proud to say our lounge is now wheel chair accessible. Revelstoke's population is approximately 7200. Our membership consists of approximately 250. The idea of having to be related to someone that has served in the army, navy, or airforce to become a Legion member is long past. We encourage the RCMP, Firefighters to become Ordinary members of the Legion. Anyone else who is not related to the above forces is encouraged to join under our Associate membership. This being said, in 2012 OUR Branch DONATED $7,306.88. We are proud to say these donations were given to following organizations in Revelstoke.

Spring is in the air ...

Sid Parker was in Revelstoke recently to promote his new book, Damn it: It’s about water. Parker was born in Revelstoke in 1930 and grew up on a farm in the Big Eddy. He served as mayor of Revelstoke from 1970–1978 before going on to represent the riding of Kootenay East–Revelstoke in the House of Commons from 19801984 and 1988-1993 as a member of the NDP. The book deals with Parker’s experiences dealing with the Columbia River Treaty during both his time as mayor and as an MP. He said he’s spent seven years working on the book and wanted to get it out before the 2014 deadline at which the signatories to the treaty can give notice they want to cancel or re-negotiate the treaty. In Parker’s view, the treaty was a raw deal for the Kootenays, where hundreds of thousands of acres of agricultural land was flooded and communities were destroyed. Meanwhile, the United States benefitted from the construction of dams in Canada through bet-

ter flood control, increased power generation along their stretch of the Columbia River, improved irrigation, and increased industry. The financial benefits to Canada weren’t worth the cost, he said, and the treaty lacked social, economic and environmental protection for Canadians. Parker was scheduled to make a presentation to council on the CRT on Tuesday, May 26.

Bruce Thomas aims to create ‘Columbia sound’ with CAMP ALEX COOPER
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Describing a Bruce Thomas project isn’t easy. I know my editor struggled when he profiled the local artist a few years ago. Now it’s my turn to take a shot after going to see his new band CAMP at the Monashee Mandala last week. What is CAMP? The Facebok invite described the show as a “rhythm and movement event” and people were asked to bring drums and dancing moves. I feared it could be a hippy drum circle but knowing Thomas, I knew it would be much more than that. A few days before the show he compared it to the pyschedelic electro band Animal Collective. I’ve also enjoyed his other bands, Carbon & Wire, and The Gears, so he’s got good a pedagree. I entered the Monashee Mandala to a pulsating gathering of adults

and children dancing to a swirling, pounding rhythm. Thomas was shirtless, pounding on a drum and shouting into a microphone. Next to him, Rob Martin was hunched over a laptop. To the left, Douglas Sproule was in front of a sprawling electronic drum kit. On the right, Marie-Isabelle Fournier was laying down, playing a drum while also working on a laptop. The music combined electronic and acoustic rhythms with samples and improv guitar and lyrics. It was a loosely structured jam session. “There are no rules, there are no team leaders, there are no songs,” Thomas told me the following day. “There are rough outlines that we can focus on and try to get something. We are attempting to do something but how it ends up coming out will be different every time.” CAMP was born last summer
as a solo electronic project where Thomas created a series of electronic recordings and set it some experimental videos he had created years ago. It debut at shows in Montreal and Toronto. “It was a live mix of different samples that I had created in my library over the years of producing music,” he told me. When he came back to Revelstoke, Thomas wondered what to do with the music. He decided to recruit his friend Rob Martin, who had no music experience, and teach him how to use an online program called Audio Tools to create the beats. What they wound up doing was taking two different drum machine sequences and running them together. “If you put those two sequences and put them together and press play it will mathematically start to create different patterns,” he said. “I found it interesting the different
patterns it would create over time.” Fournier, Martin’s girlfriend, asked if she could take part, so she began to play a synthesizer on her lap top. Later, Sproule, who played with Thomas in Carbon & Wire, was brought in to play drums and provide a more consistent beat to balance the chaos of the drummachine laptop. Thomas was singing and playing guitar and drums when I saw CAMP, but he said they’ve had shows where he’s just created music on his laptop. The main thing with CAMP is that the music is all improvised over the bass drum sequences, making it a different experience each time they would play. “Every time we’d try to repeat it it would come out so absurdly different we would frustrate ourselves because we couldn’t get it right,” Thomas said. “The more in the moment we got, the more
nuanced the sound started getting. There was something about trying to get in the moment, trying to get influence by the moment around us, and not worrying about getting the parts right, actually started to create more of a fun atmosphere and we started to create more of a new Columbia sound.” The catch with CAMP is that sometimes it doesn’t quite work. At last week’s show, the first set went for 90 minutes with barely any pauses and everything flowed together. The second set was only about 45 minutes and featured several occasions where the music broke down as the electronic beats became more mixed up. “Is that wrong? No. Is it hard for the listener? Yes. Is it hard to play to? Yes. Is it difficult? Yes,” said Thomas. “But when it works, in art, you have to go through some uncharted waters to find new spaces.”

Guerilla Cinema presents bicycle-powered public films informed and get people thinking. It’s pretty easy to not think too hard about the way we live in the west.” At the first Guerilla Cinema, held outdoors in Centennial Park, Bozkewycz showed Story of Stuff, a documentary about our production and consumption systems; and Dick Proenneke’s Alone in the Wilderness, about the filmmakers life in the Alaskan wilderness. At the second screening, also in Centennial Park, Bozkewycz showed The War on Democracy, a documentary about the relationship between the United States and vari-
ous Latin American countries. It was chosen as a tribute to Hugo Chavez, the recently deceased former Venezuelan President. The next three Guerilla Cinema screenings will be in Centennial Park on Sundays March 31, April 7 and April 21. The next movie shown will be The Money Fix. “In the future I will bring the bike out because it is a bit cold out sitting under the stars watching a movie,” said Bozkewycz. “This way if you get cold you can hop on the bike and power it and warm up.”
CAC fundraiser Sean Bozkewycz gives his battery-powered entertainment system a boost with bicycle at a Guerrila Cinema screening at the community centre last Thursday. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review ALEX COOPER

On a bright sunny day, Sean Bozkewycz can crank his stereo all day long with his 60 watt solar panel. On less bright days, he’s come up with a different scheme to keep the tunes going – a bicycle powered generator. Lately, he’s begun taking his green entertainment system out for outdoor movie screenings he’s dubbed “Guerilla Cinema.” The system works by hooking up a belt from the rear wheel of the bicycle and attaching that to an alternator. The alternator then powers up two deep cycle batteries – one is 900
amps, the other 600 amps. A couple of hours on the bicycle brings the batteries to full charge, Bozkewycz said, though he also charges them at home just in case. “So far I haven’t had the bike out at a screening because the batteries were enough to get through the movie,” he said. On Thursday, he had the bike out, both to demonstrate the system and in case the batteries started to die. The poster advertises Guerilla Cinema as “a portable cinema experience delivering knowledge and inspiration in the great outdoors.” Last week the feature movie was Petropolis, a Greenpeace movie
about the Alberta tar sands. The movie was sparse on dialogue and text and was almost entirely a flyover showing the immense scope of the northern Alberta landscape. The movie’s goal was to showcase the vast environmental destruction wrought by tar sand development by contrasting the boreal forest with the massive open pit mines and industrial complexes that have sprung out across the area. The movies have a left-wing bent. “I want to show independent cinema that’s not the kind of stuff you see if you watch TV or go to the theatre,” said Bozkewycz. “Get some important ideas out there. Get people

Kelly Olynyk family, sports success rooted in Revelstoke
Gonzaga Bulldogs basketball star Kelly Olynyk, left, led his team to the number one ranking in the NCAA heading into the March Madness tournament. He is pictured with fellow Canadian player Kevin Pangos, 4. Kelly’s father Ken Olynyk, right, led the Revelstoke Secondary School class of 1970 to many team wins, and earned the top B.C. high school athlete award that year. He went on to make a career in basketball, serving as University of Toronto head basketball coach, and is now Director of Athletics and Recreation at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops.

The star of the number one ranked NCAA Gonzaga Bulldogs basketball team going into March Madness. The cover of Sports Illustrated. A mention by the president of the United States. These were just a few of the many highlights over the past weeks for Kelly Olynyk, the South Kamloops Secondary School graduate who went on play for the Spokane, Washington State-based basketball powerhouse Gonzaga. But the story really starts here in Revelstoke. I had the honour of meeting up with members of the extended Olynyk family in Revelstoke on Mar. 23 to watch national coverage of the Spokane Bulldogs versus Witchita State Shockers game. The highlight of the third round NCAA matchup was 21-year-old Kelly Olynyk, a seven-foot centre. The junior led the Western Conference team to the top ranking in the US. Anyone who’s been in Revelstoke for a while knows Sam Olynyk. If you’ve been here for a few years, you’ll know him as a dedicated Revelstoke Rotary Club member who sports a Rotary jacket noting his 50 years of service (“It cost me $50,000,” he jokes). If you’ve been here for longer, you might know he went to work at the sawmills as a boy, was a founder of the original Downie Street Sawmill, helped build the Mica Dam, worked as the Revelstoke coroner for about a quarter of a century, and even sat as a judge for many years. He worked his way into all these positions despite a very limited formal education. He welcomes me to come
watch the game with the family. The teams tip off in Salt Lake City, Utah as we watch the game from Ed and Deborah Wozniak’s home in Southside (Deborah’s maiden name is Olynyk). About eight family members cheer on their relative. Sam Olynyk explains he helped the family catch the athletics bug. He was a big baseball player and curler, and even came close to a provincial curling championship. “I can still see the rock sliding through the house,” he said of a missed shot that kept his team out of the B.C. finals many years ago. Many family members took up sports over the years, including Revelstoke Secondary School sports star Ken Olynyk, who graduated in 1970. Ken Olynyk cleaned up that year, leading the volleyball team to a provincial win and the basketball team to the provincial finals. He won the B.C. high school athlete of the year award for 1970 and, through coincidence, attended a banquet along with Queen Elizabeth II, who was touring B.C. and attended the awards ceremony. Ken Olynyk went on to play basketball for Simon Fraser University Clan and eventually settled into a career as head coach of the University of Toronto men’s basketball team for about 13 seasons, where he also coached the national junior men’s program. In 2003, he became the Director of Athletics and Recreation at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops. The Revelstoke native has been a deep influence in Kelly’s career, and even takes time out to coach his daughter Maya’s senior high school team. Sam Olynyk explained some
family history. Mike Olynyk arrived in Revelstoke in 1911, after first arriving in Canada in 1905 from the Austro-Hungarian empire. Along with many other Ukranian families, they settled to live and farm on the now-flooded flats along the Columbia River south of Revelstoke. Many residents here have blood ties to the old local family. Over pizza and pie, we watch the Bulldogs struggle against the Shockers. They chip away at their Witchita opponents’ lead and get ahead briefly in the second half. Olynyk leads the team with 26 points – many of them coming from the foul line; the Shockers have no good answers for the seven-foot power forward and revert to fouling him. Kelly also brought down nine boards. Fellow Canuck Bulldog Kevin Pangos also has an inspired game, scoring 19 points. Down the stretch, the Shockers drain seven three-point shots without a miss and pull away again. The final few minutes of the close game have the usual basketball clock-stopping dramatics, but the sense is no amount of intentional fouls and shots from behind the arc will bring the Zags back. In the lose-one-and-you’redone format, the Bulldogs are out, a big upset in the third round. Back in Revelstoke, family members speculate about what it will mean. Kelly is still a junior and has another year of NCAA eligibility. But there’s always the NBA draft in June. Olynyk could declare his eligibility this year, with many speculating the power forward could go in the first round.

Bantams win fair play award at B.C. Championships STACEY GRIMM
Revelstoke Minor Hockey
Revelstoke’s Bantam hockey team made the long trek to Dawson Creek, B.C. for the provincial championships Mar. 17–21. Continuing with the style of play that got them to the provincials, the boys competed hard and maintained their team-first attitude. Teams representing all areas of the province and were split into two pools for tournament play: Dawson Creek Canucks, Langley Eagles, Port Moody Panthers, Smithers Storm and Whitehorse Mustangs in one group, and then the Revelstoke Grizzlies, Castlegar Rebels, Cranbrook Ice, Juan de Fuca Grizzlies, and Quesnel Thunder in the other group. Revelstoke’s first game against Juan de Fuca was a 4-2 victory. Taylor de Groot opened the scoring for Revelstoke, with Ullar Wiatzka following up with goals in the second and third periods. The second day was a challenging day for Revelstoke, playing the top two seeded teams of the tournament. Revelstoke played an organized team system against Quesnel, with goals by Nii Noi Tetteh, de Groot and Peter Grimm. Quesnel played a tough game, and with Mac Reynolds’ excellent goaltending, the game ended in a 3-3 tie. This tie against Revelstoke was the only point that Quesnel gave up on their way to becoming provincial champions. Against Castlegar later that night, Revelstoke started off strong with two goals in the first by Tetteh and Josh Pilon. Castlegar fought back to tie it up by the end of the first period. Revelstoke played hard but was unable to put in any more goals against the Castlegar goalie, so the game ended with a final of 6-2 for Castlegar. Revelstoke’s last game against Cranbrook was a

strong 10-3 win. Tetteh had a hat trick and de Groot and Wiatzka scored two goals each in the win. The top two teams in each pool proceeded to the semi-finals. Revelstoke, with five points, finished one point behind Castlegar for a playoff spot. Quesnel beat Whitehorse 8-1 in one semi-final and Castlegar beat 5-3 in the other to set the stage for the finals. There, Quesnel defeated Castlegar 5-4 to become B.C. Bantam Tier 3 Champion. The Revelstoke Bantam Grizzlies represented our city well, being awarded the Fair Play Award given to the team who best represented themselves on and off the ice. Tournament organizers checked with local hotels and businesses to get an idea of which team were the best ambassadors for their city. The Bantam’s success couldn’t have been achieved without the fantastic support of the community of Revelstoke, which was much appreciated by parents and players.

The Revelstoke Ski Club sent six ski racers to the U16 Provincial Championships at Red Mountain in Rossland from Mar. 21-24, yielding one podium finish and a handful of top-15 results. The race format allowed each skier two slalom races and two giant slalom races over four days. “The courses were good and the snow conditions were excellent,” said head coach Ned Lazarevic. “The kids had fun and both our boys and girls did a great job.” Although Max Scharf didn’t get on the podium, his 10th place finish in one GS and 17th in the other were enough to earn him a berth on Team Canada at the upcoming Whistler Cup, the pre-eminent inter-

Callum Hicks placed 15th and 17th in the two GS races. “This is Callum’s first year in this group so these are very good results,” said coach Lazarevic. “This age group is a very strong field and only two boys of his birth year are ahead of him.” The girls did not place as high but their slalom results were “very encouraging,” said Coach Lazarevic. Caroline Boouwmester’s best result was 15th in slalom and in that same race teammate Sonia Schwenck hit her high point with 22nd. “Both these girls have shown good improvement over the season,” said Lazrevic. “This was a good competition for them and these results put them in good position, setting them up for their next race.”

ing in alpine skiing, where he participated in the Canada Games. The Revelstoke Secondary student finished third at the BC High School Championships and second at the Canadian Youth National Championship with a throw of 56.92 metres. “As a freshman, I’m going to have to get used to bigger weight and bigger competitions. I’m going to be competing against people who are much older than me and I’m looking forward to the challenge,” finished Behncke. In addition to his athletic prowess, Behncke is a gifted student as he will be receiving the Mike Cairns Scholarship while pursuing a degree in business.

The Simon Fraser University track and field program has announced the signing of Revelstoke thrower Peter Behncke. Behncke will join the SFU Clan in the fall of 2013. “Being able to stay in BC and in Canada while competing in the NCAA,” said Behncke in a statement provided by SFU. “Academics was a huge factor that made SFU attractive because Simon Fraser has a great business school.” He will compete in the hammer throw and the weight throw for the Clan.
