Unterberger finishes on top

Liberals, Conservatives face uphill battle to unseat NDP’s Macdonald Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke’s Dominic Unterberger capped off his first season with the BC Alpine ski team with a win in the slalom at the Okanagan Zone finals at Revelstoke Mountain Resort on Sunday, Apr. 14. He has been invited to the team’s selection in Whistler this week, along with his sister Emily and Revelstoke Ski Club racers Max Scharf and Mitch Smith. For more coverage of last weekend’s race, see page 14. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

The last two times Norm Macdonald ran for to be the MLA for Columbia River–Revelstoke, he was running as someone who was likely to be an opposition member. Now, running for the third time, he is someone who is likely to be a major player in a potential NDP government. With the election campaign officially underway, polls have the NDP looking at a comfortable majority, and Macdonald is expected to win his seat. Eric Grenier, who runs the political website threehundredeight. com, gives the NDP a 92 per cent chance of winning the election, and has Macdonald polling at 52.8 per cent. “I can’t speak to that riding specifically, but given how well the NDP is doing in the polls and how badly the Liberals are faring, it seems extremely unlikely that any NDP incumbent who won by a good margin in 2009 will be in any danger, particularly in a riding like Columbia River–Revelstoke where a Conservative will be on the ballot,” he told the Times Review in an e-mail. His view was echoed by two other pundits contacted by the Times Review. Alice Funke, who runs the website PunditsGuide. ca, said she has not seen Columbia River–Revelstoke mentioned as a swing seat in any election coverage nor by her political contacts. Sacha Peter, who runs the website BC2013.com, said it take a “province-wide monumental catastrophe for the BC NDP” for Macdonald to lose his seat. “[In 2005 and 2009] it was clear to most people that they were electing an opposition member,” Macdonald said in an inter-

view last week. “I think it’s fair to say at this time that most would be expecting to elect a member of an NDP government. I think that changes the campaign somewhat. What is important to me is to make sure its absolutely clear during the election exactly what I intend to do and what the NDP intend to do.” Macdonald’s main rival in the campaign will be Doug Clovechok of the BC Liberal Party. Clovechok, was an educator and administrator in Calgary’s public education system and is now the manager of the Invermere campus of the College of the Rockies. He has been criss-crossing the riding in recent months trying to raise his profile and painting himself as someone who can get things done for his constituents. He has made a number of appearances alongside Liberal cabinet ministers, including Premier Christy Clark. He said he’s put 17,000 kilometres on a Toyota Prius that was donated to the campaign by a local car dealership. He was scheduled to be in Revelstoke to open his campaign on Tuesday, after press time, and will be here for several days talking to people and seeking votes. “My focus is going to be on the economy and the creation of jobs and what our party will be doing,” he said. “From a riding perspective I’m going to be talking about the need to generate a stronger economy.” Clovechok said that if elected, he plans on setting up advisory boards throughout the riding that would provide guidance to him as an MLA. He would also have members of each board meet several times a year so different communities know what’s going on throughout the riding. “The intent

Four new Revelstoke businesses ready to serve you Dollar store, car rental business, printing shop and yoga studio open for business BUSINESS BEAT Times Review staff

HOT YOGA CLASSES NOW AVAILABLE

Since November, Beau Miller has been teaching Bikram yoga out of a small studio downtown. At the beginning of next month she is moving into a new, bigger space on Illecillewaet Road, and in preparation she is holding an information session on April 22. “There’s loads of people in town that when we meet each other on the street, they say they’ve been meaning to come or they’re hesitant, so this is an opportunity for these people to come, listen to a presentation and ask questions,” she said. Bikram is a style of yoga adapted from the ancient Hatha yoga by Bikram Choudhury, who chose 26 postures and two breathing exercises to be performed in a specific order inside a hot room that is

designed to mimic practicing yoga in India. “It’s been proven to be effective, to significantly help people with their pain – whether it’s mental pain of physical pain,” said Miller. Bikram yoga is performed in a room that is 40 C. The heat is said to make the muscles softer, making them more flexible and allowing them to stretch further and deeper. Miller discovered Bikram yoga after going to classes with her daughter Courtney. Last year she took her teacher’s training at Bikram Yoga College in Los Angeles. “When I come out of the room it feels like I’m inside a new body. It just feels like a full body massage,” she said. “Teaching, what I get out of it is seeing the joy and relief in my students faces, and the words they’re telling me.” Her new studio is located at 1596 Illecillewaet Road. It will have a

Chamber disappointed as council okays 3.5% tax increase Chamber leaders cite ballooning spending at the City of Revelstoke, growing debt and failure to address expenditure side of budget in criticism of city budget Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce directors and executive members filed dejectedly from a city council budget meeting on April 9, feeling that council ignored their budget comment package. Despite warnings from the Budget Focus Group and the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce that the city has been on an unsustainable spending binge for a decade, council opted to stay the course, voting for a 3.5% tax increase, plus other hidden fee increases that mean it’s actually much more than that. Sewer rates were hiked by 15 per cent, for example. In a huddle outside of the meeting, chamber leaders said their message wasn’t heard. “I think there’s disappointment that expenses aren’t being addressed,” said chamber president Steve Bailey, as five other chamber board members nodded in agreement. “We were hoping that expenses would be reviewed because the city’s been on a continual spending spree. [Since] 2008 to today spending has doubled. We’ve gone from [$9.5] million to [$19.9] million in five years. It’s not a two-per-cent increase in the budget over last year. It’s actually a 9.1 per cent increase in spending in the city budget. The city never speaks of that – that’s what council never tells the public about, and it’s been going on for years. It’s been going on since 2002.” “The budget’s gone from $5 million to $19 million in ten years,” Bailey underscored. And city council doesn’t disagree; when asked if they concurred with the chamber’s assessment, mayor David Raven didn’t object. (The Chamber based their analysis on city numbers.) Chamber members said increases in revenue streams brought on by new developments such as hotels masked the actual increases in city spending. In addition, the city has burned through budget reserves. Chamber director Peter Nielsen said the city is risking the golden revenue goose. “That new revenue is not going to continue, especially if you continue to raise

the business taxes – development is going to stop. What’s going to happen? We hit the point where there’s no new revenues, but we have this massive budget that we have to fulfil? We’re going to have to increase taxes ... and start to see taxation in the nine- and ten-per-cent increases.” Chamber executive director Judy Goodman said council focused on the wrong side of the equation. “What we were asking was that they actually look at the cost of the operating expenses, not just the [tax] increases.” A few last-minute cuts made by council on the altar of the highly-scrutinized final budget meeting weren’t sufficient. Council opted to hold back on hiring a new Corporate Review Officer, cut some fire department funding and trimmed an operations review, but Goodman pointed out these cuts were actually for new proposed spending. Regardless of the cuts, spending has gone up $1.9 million with the new budget. “I also think the $160,000 they cut out were the easy cuts,” said chamber director Randy Driediger. “[They’re] just going to appease the public by saying, ‘Hey we cut stuff out of the budget.’ In the big picture where are the hard cuts being made? They’re not. That’s the problem I have with the whole budget process. Somebody [has] to stand up and be accountable.” “The budgeting process is broken. It needs to be started sooner,” Goodman said. Chamber members said talking about cuts to the 2013 budget just doesn’t work when the budget isn’t signed off on until mid-May; the city needs to move the whole process up by almost a year. “It’s the city department heads that are the experts here,” Goodman said. “Let’s let them go back and figure out how to be more efficient.” Chamber members noted layoffs were “taboo” amongst councillors, and efforts to find efficiencies were insufficient. They did acknowledge the city was facing some unavoidable cost increases.

Council opts for tax increases in split vote Mayor David Raven had terse words for

Coun. Tony Scarcella, after he accused the councillor of grandstanding. “It’s not just a 3.5 per cent tax increase. It’s about a five per cent tax increase,” Scarcella said after himself and Coun. Chris Johnston unsuccessfully voted against the 3.5 per cent increase. “Also, I’d like to thank the Chamber of Commerce and the focus group. They spent lots of time, and we didn’t listen to them. I don’t believe it’s very fair to ask them to come back next year because they put lots of time [in] and we didn’t listen.” Mayor David Raven bristled: “Councillor Scarcella, that’s wrong. That’s absolutely wrong. And this little sniping thing is going out of control. We did listen to them; I spent a lot of time with the focus group. The whole staff spent time with the focus group and we listened to all of their comments all the way along.” The final terse exchange was the only marked deviation from the same customary rate-setting budget meeting over the past five years. Councillors spoke in turns presenting their views. Coun. Steve Bender said the city had to build reserves (1.5 per cent of the tax increase is earmarked for reserves): “We’re running a thin line,” he said, predicting a catastrophic infrastructure failure of some kind. “It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.” Coun. Chris Johnston, who voted against the increase, used a paycheque metaphor. He compared city hall to a week-to-week Johnny Paycheque. “If we give the city the money, they’ll spend it all. That’s what we’ve been doing.” Coun. Linda Nixon said reserves needed to be built, but worried the earmarks would “get swallowed into a big black hole.” She asked for a new 1.5 per cent efficiency in city operations to match the reserve allocation. Coun. Tony Scarcella pointed out a $1.9 million increase in expenditures in 2013 over 2012. “How can you tell the taxpayers that we’re going to save [$100,000 in reserve taxes] and then we spend $1.9 mil-

Capsule Comments With John Teed & David Lafreniere It’s National Immunization Awareness Week in Canada from April 20-27. One hundred years ago, infectious diseases were the leading cause of death worldwide. In Canada, they now causes less than 5% of all deaths .... thanks to immunization programs across our country. Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is such a heartbreaking affliction.

Work is being done all over the world to find a cure or at least a way of slowing the progress of the disease. One method being tested right now is a “brain pacemaker” which sends minielectric signals to the part of the brain that is affected by AD. It does show promise. Although not a cure, it could help delay memory loss. Here’s another reason why taking good care

of your teeth and gums is important, especially for young women. There is a link between poor dental hygiene and premature births. Bacteria from the mouth can migrate to the child in the womb and increase the risk of early delivery. Not had a dental check-up lately? Do it now.

say Canadians eat too much salt, sometimes double the recommended 1500mg daily maximum. Our bodies need only 1000mg daily to function. To put that visually, that’s around a half teaspoonful. Something to think about at our next meal.

BC Hydro seeking environmental assessment for Revelstoke 6 turbine

BC Hydro aiming to begin construction on sixth turbine in 2016 for operational date in 2019 Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

BC Hydro is embarking on an environmental assessment for the installation of a sixth turbine at the Revelstoke Dam. In a news release, BC Hydro said it is currently assessing the need of the project, but if it goes ahead, it would involve installing a sixth penstock,

turbine and generating unit inside a vacant bay at the Revelstoke Dam. It would increase the generating capacity of the dam by 500 megawatts, to 3,070 megawatts. It would also involve building a new series capacitor station west of the Summerland area and upgrading the Nicola substaion in order to reliably deliver the additional generation.

In addition to the environmental assessment, BC Hydro is also applying for an amended water licence to increase the allowable water flow of the dam to 93,000 cubic-feetper-second from 90,000.

City of Revelstoke unveils ‘tourist home’ plan permitting vacation rentals A proposed new city plan would open up select areas of Revelstoke to overnight rentals including arterial roads leading to Revelstoke Mountain Resort, heritage upper Mackenzie Avenue and Mountain View neighbourhoods

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The City of Revelstoke has unveiled a plan to allow overnight vacation rentals in several city neighbourhoods. Once approved, owners could rent the homes much like a hotel, post signs advertising them, or even live in them part-time and rent them during peak seasons. A new draft plan unveiled by the City of Revelstoke planning department on April 12 outlines the proposed neighbourhoods. It includes sections of Victoria Road, Fourth Street in Southside, upper Mackenzie Avenue, a large zone around and including Mountain View school, along east Third Street, Airport Way to Nichol Road, on Nichol Road and along Camozzi Road west of Nichol Road. The draft proposal outlines many requirements for a tourist home: — The owner must rent the vacation unit, not someone who is subletting — Exterior signage is permitted — A secondary suite is allowed, but the owner must live at the property — Owners must ensure the rental doesn’t create a nuisance — A maximum of five people per vacation rental unit — Development permits are required as part of the approval process — A building permit is also required as part of the approval process — A business licence is required — On site parking requirements match existing requirements, such as for a basement suite In February, city plan-

ning director John Guenther got approval from council to develop the proposal. However, the concept has been discussed by the planning director at public meetings during the Unified Development Bylaw process. Specifically, Guenther outlined the concept of allowing vacation rentals along Revelstoke arterial roads, including Nichol Road and Airport Way. The draft plan doesn’t require a zoning change, nor are there any provisions, such as a public hearing, that would allow neighbours to challenge or block a proposed tourist home. At the April 9 city council meeting, Mayor David Raven cited the proposed tourist home plan as an example of city council listening to the Chamber of Commerce, who support increasing the tax base. The draft plan has a big unknown variable in it so far: taxation. “The assessment authority will decide your tax class,” states a planning department FAQ. “Further information will be forthcoming.” As the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce and commercial property owners have pointed out for several years, the disparity between residential tax rates and commercial tax rates is one of the highest in B.C. If BC Assessment switched a property from a residential to commercial assessment, the annual tax bill will rise multifold. For example, according to a City of Revelstoke online calculator, residential properties paid $713 in property taxes (city, school and other) per $100,000 of assessed value in 2012. Commercial properties paid $2,717 per $100,000 –

almost four times as much. The property tax bill for a home valued at $350,000 would jump from $2,495 to $9,510. And it’s not that simple. BC Assessment would re-assess the value of the property using a complex formula that incorporates many factors, including the property’s ability to generate revenue. It’s possible the assessment could rise. In February, Guenther floated the concept of a tourist accommodation levy in a report to council, but it remains unclear how that would work. The city doesn’t have the authority to determine assessments. However, an email from Jason Sowinski, BC Assessment Deputy Assessor for the Okanagan region, outlined options that could include tax relief depending on the specific property. Giving an example, he wrote that a residence operating like a hotel would be assessed commercial, while one that rents occasionally could be assessed residential. The report discussed by council on Feb. 26 contained examples of vacation rental policies in other communities, including the City of Penticton. Several passages from the Penticton policy have been cut and pasted to make up the proposed Revelstoke policy. The City of Revelstoke planning department is currently accepting early public feedback and says it will seek more feedback before and after the actual bylaw is drafted.

Loving the livability of my sojourn in Revelstoke

REVELSTOKE REFLECTION BY CARL BR JOHNSON

Editor’s note: Southern Alberta Institute of Technology journalism student Carl BR Johnson has returned home to Calgary after almost a month at the Times Review. He leaves us with these parting thoughts, comparing life in Revelstoke and Cowtown. Revelstoke turned out to be just what the doctor ordered for this old boy. For the past four weeks, I have noticed a measurable and an overwhelmingly positive change in my overall health which I can only attribute to living in this radically different-from-Calgary environment. I have been breathing easier, sleeping easier and longer, my tension levels have dropped considerably, and my overall stress patterns have diminished. At times, I have actually experienced light-headedness – like a euphoric state of mind. It was almost as if those first few days here were part of some sort of adjustment period where my body was trying to figure out where all this newfound oxygen was coming from. And I’ll take Revy’s oxygen over Calgary’s sulphur dioxide any day. As a result of all this, I have found it easier to stop and smell the roses more often with people. So why is all this happening?

Let’s look at, and compare the air quality between the two cities. An environmental study of each city’s in CO2e form, was completed by that city’s corporate bodies and published online recently. The Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) for Revelstoke in 2007 was a paltry 62,824 tonnes, and Calgary’s number for that same year was a whopping 16,127,000 tonnes. So for someone like me who has had a heart attack and grew up with asthma, living in this environment couldn’t be better for me. And if my cardiologist back home were to read this article, he’d be doing his own happy dance right now. Now let’s take a look at the physical living environment here in Revelstoke. People, in general, seem to be a little more relaxed, less high-strung, more conversational and definitely more civil than in Cowtown. I have had the pleasure of meeting many different people throughout my time here, and writing about them, for which I am truly grateful to the Times Review, for taking me on. In Calgary, you’re nobody unless you’re a celebrity, a politician or hockey player. It’s a very performance-driven economy and state of mind and that type of environment inevitably creates a kind of obsessive-compulsive type of person. A very irritating type of person, I might add. And if you weren’t that way before, you will be soon after moving and living in Calgary for any substantial amount of time. It all stems from the pressure of being the so-called richest city in Canada. The drive to perform, to succeed, to produce, to prove something may have its

financial rewards in the short run, but in the long run it can devastate your health. Is it worth it? In the long run, definitely not. The people of any city make the city what it is, in its heart and soul. I asked Revelstoke’s Dr. Robin BrooksHill for his medical analysis of why my own tension and stress levels might be lower here than at home he said that it’s the familiarity of people that creates a healthier environment. “When you say ‘hi’ to someone downtown in a larger urban centre, they’ll probably respond with ‘what do you want?” said Brooks-Hill. “Say ‘hi’ to someone in downtown Revelstoke and they’ll either say ‘hi’ or ‘what can I do for you?’” He’s totally right. In Revy, most folks are more likely to be nicer to a stranger because they know that most everyone here is a bit more personally connected that someone in Calgary – a more anonymous place to live. In Calgary, if you meet someone new on the street, there’s a high degree of probability that you’re never going to see that person again. Also, familiarity may be the single greatest reason why smaller towns are so appealing for so many people. When you know someone you see when you walk downtown, that gives us that calm, that feeling that we’re not alone, and that encapsulating protection that removes the threat of danger. As human beings, we are always on our guard when we are in places that we are not familiar with, it’s what protects us from possible danger. When that threat has been removed, we can relax because we know we are safe from any real harm, and that, is what adds to our overall health and well-being.

Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild receives $50,000 from CBT Times Review staff

The Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild project received $50,000 in funding from the Columbia Basin Trust’s Environmental Initiatives Program. “The Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild Society thanks CBT for its support of community-based caribou recovery,” said Sarah Boyle, Vice-Chair of the RCRW Society. “These funds will help construct the maternity pen that will protect caribou and their calves at their most vulnerable time.” The funding will help start-up costs for the maternity-penning project, which includes building fencing and housing 10 pregnant female caribou from the Columbia North herd. The Environmental Initiatives Program provided more than $1 million in funding to 36 community initiated and supported projects that support environmental conditions and education in the basin. Over the past 11 years, it has provided more than $5 mil-

We thought it said he would be attending; in fact it said he wouldn’t. We regret the error. Incumbent Columbia River– Revelstoke MLA Norm Mac-

NDP leader Adrian Dix released his party’s forestry platform in Prince George Monday, including a pledge to double the number of trees planted on Crown land. Dix also promised to increase spending on forest inventory research and establish a “jobs protection commissioner” to manage the reduction in timber supply that is expected across Interior areas depleted by beetle infestation. The five-point plan promises action to reduce the export of logs from B.C., but as in the party’s 2009 election platform, the party offers no specifics. The NDP promises only to “work with stakeholders to reduce raw log exports and create more valueadded forestry jobs.” Dix said if the NDP form a government after the May 14 election, forest spending will increase by $30 million in the first year, with further increases up to $100 million beyond cur-

rent spending over five years. NDP critics have focused on B.C. Liberal budget cuts to forest management, as the government merged natural resource operations into a single ministry. Forests Minister Steve Thomson called the NDP announcement a “photo op” that provided little new about the NDP’s plans. In January, Thomson announced a 20 per cent increase in the export fee for logs from southern Vancouver Island and

the adjacent south coast.

a doer, I get things done and that’s what people are starting to realize.” The third candidate is Earl Olsen, a semi-retired accountant, who will be running for the Conservative Party. Olsen moved to Fairmont Hot Springs from Alberta, where he was a partner in a firm that owned large printing plants in Calgary and Edmonton. He serves as a volunteer firefighter in Fairmont and said this is his first time getting involved in politics. As the clear underdog (Eric Grenier pegs his support at 13.5 per cent) He said he wants people to know that there is an alternative to the two major parties. With a limited budget for advertising, he will also be going door-todoor to introduce himself to voters. He said he will be promoting a policy of low taxes and fiscal responsibility to drive growth in the region and stop people from leaving the area. “If we don’t do something to grow the economy and make it economically vibrant, that’s the biggest challenge I think we have,” he said. “I think its tragic an area like ours struggles to keep young people in it and realistically has limited futures.” The Green Party has yet to announce a candidate. Macdonald, who served as the NDP’s forestry critic, was in Revelstoke on Sunday to officially open the NDP campaign office on First Street West. On Monday he was in Prince George with NDP leader Adrian Dix to announce the party’s forestry policy. Mostly though, he plans on spending the campaign going door-to-door throughout the riding drumming up votes. “This is where you’re going to people,” he said. “You do come out of the process with a clear idea of what people really think.” With eight years of opposition experience behind him, Macdonald said he’s enjoyed working with constituents, but “I welcome the opportunity to be in the heart of a new NDP government. I think that opens up a whole host of new opportunities for Revelstoke and for taking our issues forward.”

“We’re a collaboration that went wrong.” Tarun Nayar let out a laugh after telling me that when I asked him about the origins of Delhi 2 Dublin. The band emerged out of a performance at the Vancouver Celtic Festival in 2006 with himself, singer Sanjay Seran, other DJs and two fiddlers and a bunch of Celtic dancers. The event was dubbed Delhi 2 Dublin and out of it, the band was born – despite Nayar’s initial reservations. “We basically just jammed,” said Nayar, who DJs and plays tabla. “We had a couple of pre-set things we were going to do. It sounded terrible I think, but somehow the audience got the vibe. People were really into it and we started to get booked after that and never really looked back.” Since then, the band has released three albums, two remix albums and toured all over the world. They make regular appearances in Revelstoke and are scheduled to play here this Saturday, Apr. 20, at the Taste of India fundraiser at the community centre (see below for more on the fundraiser). The band is naturally described as a mix of Indian Banghra music and Celtic music. It makes use of Indian rhythms and fiddle playing, and combines it with dance floor beats and hip hop. Mostly though, they’re a dance beat. “It’s always fun. It’s amazing how all you have to do is take a Celtic fiddle and put some Indian percussion over and everyone in the room will go (crazy) every single time with no exceptions. All we do is play on that,” said Nayar. “A lot of the music we’re writing these days doesn’t have Celtic or Indian elements at all – it’s just dance music.” A big part of Delhi 2 Dublin’s work is the remixes that get made of their songs. Both of their first two albums have been followed by a remix album and they will be following suit with remixes from their third album in the coming months – though this time it will be a little different. Instead of having each song remixed, the album will consist of remixes of two songs from their 2012 album Turn Up the Stereo. The remixes will come from a contest they held on the website IndabaMusic.com, as well as some created by producer friends of the band. “It’s a chance for us to have fun with these other producers and see what they would do with our songs,” said Nayar. “We enjoy it more than anyone. We enjoy hearing different takes on our songs.” The remixes extend to the live show, where they’ll play several different versions of the same song during one performance of that song. “Our live set is always sort of evolving and full of different remixes and mashups and that sort of stuff,” said Nayar. Up next for the band is another European tour this summer, followed by an Australian tour in the fall. They’ll also be releasing a limited edition live album that is targeted towards their biggest fans. They are setting up a series of games contests – both in real life and online – where one of the prizes will be a copy of the CD. The album will give the band a chance to demonstrate their energetic live show on a recording. It’s something the band is known for, but hasn’t been able to capture in the studio yet, admitted Nayar. “I’m just about to give up on that whole thing,” he said. “Until we get Rick Rubin to produce an album for us, which I hope happens sometime in this lifteime, I don’t think it’s even possible. What we do live is how it all started and how it continues to be popular. I think we got a lot better at making CDs but I’m not sure they’ll capture what we’re doing live.”

northern India. The school was opened in the small village of Sainji in 2009 by Kunwar and Lori Chauhan, who run the Garhwal Organization for Uplifting the Needy, a non profit organization dedicated to alleviating poverty in the region. The school was opened as a response to the poor education being delivered at the local government schools. The focus is on education, but the school also provides warm meals to the students to improve their health. The school started with eight students and now has more than 200. The Revelstoke Rotary Club began supporting the school through member Laura Stovel, who visited the school in May 2010. “Here, you had a school where it’s their passion to provide the kids with quality education,” she said.

The rapid expansion of the school has made it more expensive to run. Recently, the Revelstoke Rotary Club donated $1,000 to support the lunch program. The Taste of India fundraiser will raise money so the school can buy text books. “With this expansion and because it’s a free school, they’ve been working on how to make the school sustainable,” said Stovel.

The Revelstoke Ski Club U16 ski team won the Okanagan Zone title, and four skiers from the club have been invited to try out for Team BC, capping off a successful season for the team. “Just 19 male and 19 female athletes from the entire province are selected, and this year four of them are from Revelstoke Ski Club,” said club president Richard Smith. “Our club is hitting well above its weight on the provincial scene, and we’re all very proud of our athletes who have trained so hard to get where they are.” Revelstoke hosted the Okanagan Zone championships for U12, U14 and U16 skiers last weekend. The lower section of the Hollywood trail was turned into a race course for two days of giant slalom and slalom races. The racers from throughout the Okanagan-Mainline area, were greeted with 20 centimetres of snow for the race, which was packed down and hardened to make for faster

race conditions. Emily Unterberger highlighted the weekend for Revelstoke, winning both the U18 GS and slalom races. Her brother Dominic won the U18 slalom race. Mitch Smith and Max Scharf also had strong performances, finishing in second and third place respectively in the GS on Saturday. Revelstoke’s other podium finisher was Bryce Molder, who finished third in the U16 slalom. Both Unterberger’s, Smith and Scharf were invited to the Team BC selection camp in Whistler from April 17–21. In the U12 boys, Joshua Jacoby from Sun Peaks won both the slalom and GS. In the U12 girls, Emily Whitecross from Sun Peaks won the GS and Noa Rogers the slalom. In the U14 category, Brook Lukinuk from Big White won the girls GS, Whitecross won the girls slalom, and Zane Torres won both of the boys races. In the U16, Matthew Kreutz from Vernon won both boys races, while Meg Cumming from Apex won both girls races.

Other highlights for Revelstoke at the race were: Colm Molder: 4th in the U12 boys GS Aleks Klassen: 8th in the U12 boys slalom and 9th in the GS Jenna Knight: 8th in the U12 girls GS Linnea Allain: 8th in the U14 girls GS Callum Hicks: 6th in the U16 boys GS Sonia Schewnk: 7th in the U16 girls slalom and 9th in the GS. “We had a wonderful weekend of racing at our local hill and it has been an amazing one,” said coach Milan Arsovski. “All the kids gave their best effort, all skied fast and all of them had lots of fun. It was a perfect way to end the season. “Overall, I’m so happy to be part of this club. Its a great and unique family and I learned a lot from the kids, for which I wan to give so much more in the years to come for all future generations. This weekend we definitely proved the Revelstoke Ski Club is really the Okanagan’s best and finest.”

Your Dollar Store With More moves into Revelstoke The Your Dollar Store With More has expanded its into Revelstoke which has been a long time coming, says Jeff Simla, director of Sales and Marketing for the franchise. “We’ve been wanting to go into the Revelstoke market for some time now,” he said. “We saw a gap in the industry that we could fill in Revelstoke with our store.” The Your Dollar Store took over the old Lordco location in the Alpine Village Mall. “The traffic of the Alpine Village Mall centre is very good, especially

with the Cooper’s grocery store there which is why we specifically wanted that location.” Simla also said that location was a consideration for their customers because they wanted to create “a onestop shopping area within the mall.” They opened their doors for business on Apr. 13, and their official grand opening is planned for a yet-tobe determined date later this month. Simla said that The Your Dollar Store’s merchandise is composed of primarily discount items with, “everything from party supplies to the latest electronic gadgets priced at one-, twoand five-dollar price ranges.” Another market that the Your Dollar Store wanted to cash in on was the weekend-get-away tourist crowds with product offerings such as disposable napkins, plates and cups. “We believe there is a huge market for those who are going up to ski resort as well as the campgrounds and

www.revelstoketimesreview.com

many other get-aways there are in and around Revelstoke,” he said. According to their website, The Your Dollar Store With More empire was originally founded in 1998 by Russ and Sherry Meszaros who wanted to, “to raise the bar in the dollar store industry by opening a dollar store that was less cluttered, well merchandised, brighter and cleaner.” Today, their 100 per cent Canadianowned corporate kingdom has 135 stores across Canada – in six provinces and one territory – with a homebase in Kelowna, B.C..

Lakeside Printing opens new location in Revelstoke Dan Renaud will soon open a new printing shop called Lakeside Printing on First Street East after buying out

The Revelstoke Printing Company. Salmon Arm-based Lakeside Printing, and he has been merging and acquiring for some time now. “In today’s world, the easiest way to make your business grow and survive is to buy the competition,” he said. “I’ve bought five printingrelated companies over the past several years.” Lakeside Printing has offices in Salmon Arm, Vernon and now Revelstoke. “It’s all about local. For our day-today service all you have to do is service the local people at a fair price and they’ll be loyal,” Renaud said. “In every city, we support local minor sports as soon as we get approached.” As president of Lakeside Printing and manager of the Revelstoke location, this already busy man oversaw the move of his company into the Arlington building from the old Revelstoke Printing Company location on

First Street West. Renaud said visibility will be key. “In the past, we’ve had two print shops built in the basement and as soon as we brought them up to a street-level setup, our volume basically doubled because people could actually see the store.” His little print shop can produce a myriad of printed products, including business cards, leaflets, the TV Guide for all of B.C.’s Interior, as well as banners that can as wide as 31 metres. “We can produce banners that could wrap a building,” boasts Renaud. Renaud runs a family business. His wife Susan keeps the books for all the offices at Lakeside Printing. His daughter Janine operates the Salmon Arm office and his son Steve manages the Vernon office. “It is really gratifying to see the whole family working for the business.”

Council faces criticism for tax, spending hikes

,W WDNHV PXVFOHV WR UHDG WKLV DG

from page 3

lion more in expenditures, when the town never grows? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same population we had last year ... we just keep spending.â&#x20AC;? Coun. Gary Starling expressed mixed feeling, saying expenses were up, but the budget didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a good balance between tax increases and expenditure cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see some movement departmentally,â&#x20AC;? he said. Coun. Phil Welock noted pressure from all sides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At almost every council meeting thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a group lined up for funding,â&#x20AC;? he said. Residents are facing cost of living increases other than city taxes, such as electrical and heating gas rates. He said fire, police, supplies and materials costs were all up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got 24 different committees and commissions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every committee meeting or commission I attend, those members ... are looking to spend taxpayer money.â&#x20AC;? Welock said community members needed to be educated about cutting back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a good job,â&#x20AC;? Welock said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not happy with three-and-a-half per cent ... though I feel we need money in our reserves.â&#x20AC;? Mayor David Raven said the budget process was getting longer and more complicated every year. He said the population of Revelstoke hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t increased, but the visitor population has increased â&#x20AC;&#x153;with up to over 5,000 people coming to recreate in any week over the winter.â&#x20AC;? Raven said the city needed to build reserve funds to avoid borrowing. He said there remained uncertainty over property assessments. They have been volatile over the past years as values paralleled the real estate roller coaster that started when Revelstoke Mountain Resort got underway. He said Revelstoke shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be comparing its budget to other communities, but instead to other resort communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being pushed into a higher level of service than we can afford,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question of how we break the cycle.â&#x20AC;?

Did council heed input? The Times Review asked Mayor Raven how the comprehensive comments by the budget focus group and the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce had affected council budget deliberations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They contained a number of similar themes, and in all cases they were considered,â&#x20AC;? Raven said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of those recommendations are more appropriate in a longer-term strategy rather than budget-related. In some cases they are things that are outside of the budget process that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to pick up in the future. In both cases they were very concerned with spending.â&#x20AC;? When asked for tangibles, Raven said many had come up during the process. He gave a new city plan to allow vacation rentals in some neighbourhoods as an example of a recommendation from the chamber. He said the focus groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations were built in conjunction with staff.

/HDUQ PRUH DW PXVFOH FD Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next?

So, is it over? Not yet. City staff need to put the budget into a bylaw form. For those in disagreement with the budget, there is still room for public protest, which means making an official written submission, or attending a meeting to express your view. The dates are yet to be set, but will be within the next few weeks. *** See this story online at revelstoketimesreview. com to view the city budget, the focus group comments and the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce comments.
