Retirement dance party
Joan Holzer (centre) and her staff do a dance at Holzer’s retirement party on Friday, May 10. Holzer spent 24 years as a librarian in Revelstoke. Her party included gifts, speeches and cake, but the big surprise was a flash mob dance that broke out midway through the ceremony.

Snowmobile Club picks up reigns after Snowmobile Society dissolves Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Snowmobiling in Revelstoke will fall under the roof of the Revelstoke Snowmobile Club after the Snowmobile Revelstoke Society voted to dissolve last week. The decision marks the end of 16 years of snowmobiling in Revelstoke being promoted by two different groups that worked together, but often with a confusion as to who did what. “It certainly worked well when it first got started. As the market changes and snowmobiling changes, it is time for another change,” said Greg Byman, the president of the Revelstoke Snow-
mobile Club (RSC). “The directors of both boards decided the best way to move snowmobiling forward in Revelstoke is to bring it back under one name again and under one board of directors.” The Snowmobile Revelstoke Society (SRS) was launched in 1997 as an organization to manage the business side of snowmobile tourism in Revelstoke, while the club remained focused on the social side, said Byman. Ostensibly, the society was in charge of tourism promotion and grooming, while the club ran social events. Over the years, the division of duties between the two organizations became increasingly blurred
and confusing. While the organizations tried to divide duties, they worked together on various projects, which meant many projects took more time to move forward, said Byman. As well, each group had its own lawyers, accountants, insurance policies and more. “There was so much duplication,” he said. “That money could be far better spent on our grooming program and other things like that. It just makes better business sense. “That change is the best decision to move forward with snowmobiling in Revelstoke and keep the hotel rooms full and what not.” The club will be moving forward

Body of missing White Rock man found by Arrow Lake Aaron Orlando
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
The search has ended for a White Rock man who went missing from the Twelve Mile area south of Revelstoke in October. On Sunday, May 5, two campers discovered the body of David Klammer, 39, on the west side of the Upper Arrow Lake about 10 kilometres south of Shelter Bay. The BC Coroners Service has officially confirmed the identity. Shelter Bay is located approximately 50 kilometres south of Revelstoke by highway, across the Upper Arrow Lake reservoir from Twelve Mile. In a brief statement, the BC Coroners Service and the RCMP said they don’t feel the death is suspicious. Police have always maintained Klammer had no criminal ties.
David Klammer went missing from the Revelstoke area in October. RCMP handout
The BC Coroners Service performed an autopsy on May 9 to determine the cause of
death. An RCMP spokesperson said attributing a cause would be speculation until the results were available. They weren’t by press time. David Klammer was reported missing on October 21, 2012. Investigators later determined his last known location was in Revelstoke on October 18. The Times Review has followed this story since Klammer was first reported missing. His vehicle, which was abandoned at a remote recreation site called Twelve Mile, was reported to authorities on Nov. 5. The next day, police and searchers launched ground searches in the area. This spring, police conducted a helicopter search of the Columbia River, to no avail. When search options dwindled, parents
Revelstoke school board passes balanced budget Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Revelstoke Board of Education passed a balanced 2013– 2014 budget last week, with only a slight drop in funding despite an expected enrolment decline of about 60 students. The school district's preliminary budget anticipates revenues of $10,962,044 with expenses of $10,835,778 for a small surplus of $126,266 in the 2013–2014 school year, according to a report
by the district's secretary-treasurer Barbara Ross. The district is expected enrolment to decline by about 60 students to 954, but funding protection from the Ministry of Education means that the district won't experience a significant decline in funding, said board chair Alan Chell. The enrolment decline does means teaching staff will decline by the equivalent of almost four full-time positions. Spending on
teachers' salaries is down by more than $225,000 to $4,333,382, and principal salaries are down by about $100,000 to $575.133. The district has increased funding for educational assistants by about $80,000, which Chell said would help give struggling students more one-on-one time with teachers. "You can see where our resources go," he said. "We're trying to put a lot of money into education assistance."
The school district is faced with an unfunded $70,000 increase in Teachers’ Pension costs Plan and Medical Services Plan premiums. "Our cost goes up but there's not the corresponding money from the ministry to fund those increases," said Chell. Operations and maintenance expenses are also up. While the school district is expected to see savings from the two new schools, the district is still maintaining three

Sutton Place contractor fined by WorkSafeBC after workers injured Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Hard Hammer Construction was fined almost $70,000 for a January 2011 incident at Revelstoke Mountain Resort that left two workers injured. According to WorkSafeBC, the two workers were injured on January 26, 2011, while working on building two at the Sutton Place Hotel, when the temporary welds on a steel beam they were standing under failed and fell about three metres. One person was grazed by the beam and the
other received "serious crushing injuries to his foot." The report says that on Jan. 25, 2011, a crew tack-welded a 22-foot long steel H-beam on the new hotel building at the resort. The crane that put the beam in place was removed and no support system was placed under the beam. The following day, two crane operators were standing under the beam as welders finished welding the beam in place. The tack welds failed, causing the beam to fall more than three metres and striking the two operators, seriously
injuring one of them. The WorkSafeBC investigation report finds numerous faults with the worksite. There was a lack of safety information, no shop and field drawings, and poor welding equipment and conditions. "The employer did not provide instruction in a safe procedure for erecting the steel roof structure," the report states, adding that "during the construction and erection of a structure this employer had not provided the workers with adequate information, instruction, training, and supervision."
REVELSTOKE MINOR HOCKEY
WorkSafeBC fined Hard Hammer $69,936.80 for incident. Hard Hammer is a contractor owned by Northland Properties. The company had been fined previously in 2009 when it was known as Shearwall Contracting. On that occasion, the company was fined $61,398.50 when the superintendent in charge of construction at the Sutton Place Hotel interfered with two WorkSafeBC officers conducting an inspection. Hard Hammer is appealing the fine.

The Times Review wrote a story on the lives of foreign workers here several years ago and did not hear of any horror stories then. Nor did hear of any reports of abuse of the program or of TFWs being hired ahead of Canadians now. Lori Milmine, the work experience co-ordinator at Revelstoke Secondary School, said she had not heard of any students getting turned down for jobs and foreign workers hired instead. “Employers here are

Businesses will have to advertise job openings longer and can no longer pay TFW less than Canadians. The accelerated hiring program will be eliminated and French and English are the only language requirements. For Macdonald, and other Revelstoke employers, these changes aren’t a big issue. Brian Lecompte, who owns the Revelstoke Tim Hortons said it will make it harder to hire TFW, but he will still need to hire them to fill vacancies. He has hired a number of foreign workers in the past, some of whom have since received permanent residency, and is intending on hiring more. “The government obviously has to look at it in the real life that it is and if I’ve got 10 positions to fill and I only get three applications,” he said. “I’ve got to get them from somewhere, otherwise I’m pulling my hair out.” Macdonald said foreign workers provide stability for his business.

Revelstoke Courthouse dome to get ‘cool mint’ makeover Aaron Orlando
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
After two years of debate and delay, the City of Revelstoke has chosen a contractor and a colour swatch for the Revelstoke Courthouse roof. Work will start soon after likely council approval on May 14; the project completion date is June 15. The plan is to coat the dome with a ‘cool mint’-coloured waterproof membrane. The light green colour was selected to resemble oxidized copper. In June of 2011, council proposed the membrane option over a cooper dome replacement, citing budget constraints. Soon after, heritage community members became involved, opening a larger exploration of the membrane-vs.-replacement debate. Ultimately, the membrane option was reaffirmed by city council a year later. However, plans to do the work in 2012 fell through when city officials didn’t feel those who submitted bids were qualified for the job. This time, Kamloops-based Mid-City Roofing & Sheet Metal came in with the low

bid of $200,245. They beat out U.S.-based company Objective and Canadian roofing giant Flynn Canada, both of whom bid just over $298,000. The city had budgeted $300,000 for the project, including a $50,000 grant from the Columbia Basin Trust. City engineering director
Mike Thomas explained the contractors will erect a cover over the dome and spray it with a ‘Kemper System’ waterproof membrane. The membrane is expected to last more than 35 years. The building will remain open during restoration. Thomas explained pub-
Last week hottest in decades Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
If you thought it was hotter than usual in Revelstoke last week, you’re right. According to Environment Canada, Revelstoke had the highest temperatures in the past 23 years for five consecutive days last week. The last time it was close to this hot in May was in 1998, when all the previous highs were set. The records go back to 1990. What were the numbers? On Tuesday, May 7, the thermometer topped out at 28.3 C, beating the most recent high for May 7 of 26.7 C. On May 8, the high was 28.3 C, on May 9, the high of 29.5 C shattered the 1998 high of 25.6 C.
On Friday, the temperature peaked at 28.6 C and on Saturday, the high was 28.1 C, also the hottest day in recent years. Last Monday, May 6, was also almost a recent record day too. On Sunday, rain and cooler temperatures moved into the region. Elizabeth Robilliard, a forecaster with Environment Canada, said the hot spell was due to a high pressure ridge that set up over the province. “It’s just the beginning of May. It’s really nothing unusual,” she said. “We do get short spells of hot weather at this time of year.” The long-range forecast for the summer is calling for warmer and drier weather than normal through the rest of May, June and July, Robilliard said.
Temporay foreign workers Continued from previous page with the Ministry of Labour. “They are such a vulnerable group and there’s not really anyone official policing what goes on other than something somebody like myself might observe,” she said. “The employer cannot hold a complaint against the employee but there’s still a lot of fear because people have so much at stake.” For Macdonald, hiring temporary foreign workers has been a good news story. They’ve provided badly needed stability at his business, where hiring full-time, dedicated employees is a chore. The changes to the program won’t affect his hiring, and he thinks they’re a good move to prevent people
from abusing the program. He would gladly hire Canadians if they were willing to do the work. As it stands, he’ll hire pretty much everyone that applies. He said hiring foreign workers generally ends up being more expensive because employers are responsible for flying workers to Canada and helping them adjust to life here. “Why would we put all of the money into the applications, into trying to find workers, into airplane tickets, setting them up with housing and pay them a higher wage?” he said. “We wouldn’t do that if we didn’t have to, if we had the applications coming through.”
lic works director Darren Komonoski handled the project, but wasn’t in the office when we spoke. City council will vote on the proposal at their May 14 meeting; approval seems very likely. Read more about the steps leading to the decision online at revelstoketimesreview.com.
The recent dry weather increased the chance of fire throughout the region, said Jordan Turner, a spokesperson with the Southeast Fire Centre. No fire restrictions have been put in place yet. “The weather pattern of has been indicative of August weather the last couple of days,” he said. “We’ve been lacking precipitation in many locations throughout the province since mid-April, which increases the chances for dry lightning fires.”

A common sense affordable housing alternative Editor, Re: Planning department proposes affordable housing levy, News, May 8 One does not have to look to far afield to see what other communities are doing in regards to affordable housing. The City of Victoria a few years back put $250,000 in the pot. They advertised that they would pay $5,000 to individuals who would build a legal approved suite. At the end of the year, 50 legal suites were built and multimillion dollars were added to the tax base. The City of Revelstoke was given $250,000 from BC Hydro to go to affordable housing. They built one duplex and added an admitted $350,000 to the project. To my knowledge there is no increase to the tax base. Who did it right? They now want to add another surcharge to the already cumbersome bloated process! It’s time to start buying oneway bus tickets for this department and council and we would save millions.

TAX CUTS COST US IN THE LONG RUN Editor, The level of taxation is always an issue at annual budget setting time, as well as in election campaigns. A longer-term perspective on taxation levels in Canada was written a year ago in the UBC alumnae magazine (Trek) which reported research done by UBC public policy professor, Paul Kershaw. He stated, that just ten years ago, taxes in Canada were $80 billion higher per year. “But, since 2000, we’ve prioritized tax cuts to pay ourselves first and foremost.” The three major areas of cuts were in: individual income tax; down nearly $38 billion; sales tax slashed by nearly $19 billion; and corporate taxes dropped by $18 billion per year.
L ET T E R S In B.C., Liberals, elected to government in 2001, have cut taxes as drastically as any other jurisdiction in Canada. The facts cited above do much to explain the many obvious problems in our society: such as increasing child poverty, homelessness, high student debt, increasing use of food banks, lack of affordable child care, restricted education budgets, and high youth unemployment. Lack of funding has resulted in cuts or delays in many other areas; such as rapid transit in cities, renewal of aged infrastructure, forest management, cultural and heritage programs, scientific research, national and provincial parks, to name a few. Many of the consequences listed above actually create drags on the economy if not addressed. Social problems result in higher health, policing and corrections costs. Poor infrastructure results in slower transport and more accidents, for example. Not investing in environmental research and support reduces fisheries and forest productivity in the long run. We have seen a strangling of many sectors of society, both provincially and nationally as a result of major tax cuts in recent years and we need to start getting back to a more balanced approach. If we ignore, shortchange or postpone funding for social, economic and environmental problems today, the solutions become more expensive in the future. Jeff Nicholson, Revelstoke
MUZZLE THE BEES AND LEASH THE CHICKENS Editor As we all know or should, dogs and chick-
ens hate each other and when they mix, all hell breaks out between the respective owners. Now to be fair I think that dogs and chickens should be treated equally if they are to be allowed in the city. Dogs have to be licensed; so should chickens. Dogs have be on a leash, so should chickens. Owners of dogs must pick up the unwanted droppings of dogs, so then must chickens, there is nothing more offensive than the smell of chicken you-know-what. The argument goes in favour of dogs. The same argument should be used between cats and dogs. Cats should be licensed, just as chickens are. As well there should be a additional fee for cats. Both dogs and chickens can be herded, making it a lot easier for the bylaw enforcement officer to control them. I don’t how many bylaw enforcement officers it would require to herd cats, but it would be substantial. The argument goes in favour of the chicken An article in the May 8 issue of the Times Review dealt with bears and bees, and went on to discuss whether or not bees should be allowed in the city. I think city hall got it backwards. The bees go into the trees to pollinate the flowers, the bears go into the trees to rob the fruit. The bees do no damage to the trees. The bear knocks down and destroys the trees. The bee flies around and does no harm to anyone; the bear on the other hand will destroy your property. You are able to enjoy the product produced by the bee, you will have a hard time enjoying the product left by the bear. The answer is to get rid of the bear, the argument goes in favour of the bee. The article also went on to discuss whether or not dogs, even on a leash should be allowed at the farmers’ market. Aside from licensing kids, or painting junior’s picture on the sidewalk, try putting a leash on both puppy and junior, you will be surprised how effectively it works. RH Holoday, Revelstoke

Revelstoke audiences will enjoy another first at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre when international theatre star Peter Karrie teams up with coloratura soprano Melina Moore for an evening of duets from Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables. Phantom of the Opera Returns takes the stage on Saturday, May 18 at 7:30 p.m. Welsh stage star Peter Karrie boasts an impressive stage resume, starring as The Phantom in London before taking the show on the road to Toronto, Singapore, Hong Kong and Vancouver. He was voted the best Phantom by an international fan club. Karrie also starred as Jean Valjean in a decade-long run of Les Misérables at London’s Palace Theatre. Argentine-born Melina Moore settled in Vernon after training at the Julliard and performing in New York and abroad. The duo teamed up for a Southern Interior tour last summer, where Moore starred alongside Karrie as Christine from The Phantom of the Opera. This year they have revised the performance to include selections from Les Mis, Jesus Christ Superstar and Miss Saigon. “We want the audience to

Snowmobile club plans retail shop, groomer shed from page 1 hire someone to manage its business affairs.. Angela Threatful, who was the executive director of the SRS, recently left her position. According to a recent survey, snowmobile tourism is worth more than $9 million per year to the Revelstoke economy. There are paid employees that collect trail fees, and run and repair the groomers. “Over the next few weeks we’ll come up with a good game plan and prepare for the upcoming season,” said Byman. “We know that the job we’re doing really helps the tourism in town. It helps all the hotels, restaurants – it helps them thrive.”
Snowmobile Club launches plans for Boulder Mountain facility
Through all the recent changes, the Revelstoke Snowmobile Club is moving forward on its capital project. The club recently submitted an application for a piece of Crown land next to the Boulder Mountain parking to build a facility on. “Because the sport is growing and growing we need a better facility,” said club president Greg Byman. “We need a facility.” The facility will include a large shed to store and work on the groomers, office facilities and a greeting centre. “Up until now all our groomers have just sat out in the weather and when they’ve had to be worked
on the guys just have to work in a snowbank all night,” said Byman. The facility will be the latest in a series of developments that have included the construction of a new cabin on Boulder Mountain and the renovation of the Frisby Ridge cabin. The application has been filed with the Integrated Land Management Bureau. If successful, the club will apply for grants to build the facility, said Byman. “It’s securing that tourism future for snowmobiling in town,” he said. *** What do you think of this development? Is this a step forward or a step backward for snowmobiling in Revelstoke? Comment online at www.revelstoketimesreview.com.

Is Revelstoke ready for a retail medical marijuana dispensary? New medical marijuana rules slated to take effect in 2014 will phase out existing licensed homebased grow operations. The future of medical marijuana production and dispensaries are a moving target in the context of changing laws, public opinion and reform initiatives. Aaron Orlando
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
An April 12 story in the Nelson Star begged for a closer read. Lawand-order Conservative MP David Wilks – an ex-RCMP officer – told a recent Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) board meeting about the possibility of regional government getting into the marijuana business. There’s nothing stopping cash-strapped local governments from growing medical pot under new rules set to come into effect in 2014, he said. I called up Kootenay–Columbai MP Wilks to find out what star alignment had caused him to give that presentation on that day. Did the reporter misconstrue it? Is the 2014 federal budget going to be really bad news for municipal governments? Neither, Wilks explained. He was invited by the RDCK to present on the subject in light of changes to federal medical marijuana growing rules. In a year from now, Health Canada hopes to phase out licensed homebased medical marijuana grow-ops. They’re planning to steer production into larger facilities, and will introduce new rules requiring beefed-up security, such as increased criminal checks, surveillance requirements and log books. Wilks explained there are about 45,000 Canadians licensed to use medical marijuana, but the number is expected to jump to between 100,000 and 200,000 in a few years. Wilks said the idea is to create a more controlled, safer system for providing medical pot. For example, local governments don’t have access to information on where licensed growops are located. Local fire departments don’t like being unaware of what’s out there. Police complain they’re out of the loop and that the existing system invites abuses by criminals and malingerers. Local government will be given more control under the new system. They will be required to adjust zoning rules to allow for medical marijuana grow-ops. The vision, Wilks explained, is for larger, more centralized grow-ops that deliver by mail. Does he think local government will get involved in the business end? “There’s nothing stopping them,” he said, but qualified that statement:
Top: Leslie Johnson of the Eagle Valley Medical Marijuana Society hopes to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Revelstoke. He’s been making inquiries with the city and exploring possible locations, but said it would likely take at least a year and depends on the local political and policing climate. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review Middle: Medical marijuana. Creative Commons licensed image by Eggrole Bottom: In April, Kootenay–Columbia MP David Wilks brought the Regional District of Central Kootenay up to speed on changes to medical marijuana regulations. Greg Nesteroff/Nelson Star
“Nothing stopped them in the last process.” The reality, Wilks said, is that town councils won’t likely get directly involved in the same way they don’t operate breweries or other kinds of non-core businesses. But they will have to adjust bylaws to deal with potential applicants. Wilks said he expected all
municipalities would be compliant by a March, 2014 deadline. A City of Revelstoke planning department spokesperson said he was aware of the new federal rule changes and that the department would be dealing with the changes in the near future. Mayor David Raven, who

42 Revelstoke Secondary athletes traveled to Hillside track in Kamloops where they competed in the north Okanagan Zone Track meet. With temperatures soaring, RSS track team members managed to deal with the heat and win pennants in five out of six divisions. The only pennant not claimed by RSS was the senior girls which was won by PVSS in Armstrong who finished 14 points ahead of second place Revelstoke. Strong individual results included Nick Flick’s 150 centimetre high jump, Peter Grimm’s 43 metre hammer throw, and Deena Dudman’s 14.22 second 80 metre hurdle race. In order to advance to the Okanagan Valley Track meet, RSS athletes had to finish in the top three of their competitions. Each of the 42 Revelstoke athletes managed to do that meaning that RSS will be bringing one of the largest teams in recent memory down to the Valley meet in Kelowna on May 15.
Deena Dudman from Revelstoke Secondary competes in the zone track and field finals on Thursday, May 9, at Hillside Stadium in Kamloops. Dave Eagles/Kamloops This Week

Aquaducks prepare for summer swim season with Olympian Scott Dickens ALEX COOPER
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Revelstoke Aquaducks received a pre-season boost when Canadian Olympian showed up to give a weekend-long swim camp this past weekend. “These camps are really great for young swimmers because we’re trying to ingrain in them
the fundamentals of swimming and getting them to think about training harder,” Scott Dickens said prior to a swim at the aquatic centre on Friday. “Working on body position, technique. Swimming properly rather than just quantity.” Dickens grew up in Burlington, Ont. He took up swimming at the age of six and by the time he
was 10, he knew he wanted to go to the Olympics. At 18, he moved to Vancouver to swim with the University of British Columbia. “I just knew that that’s what I wanted to do and I was going to do anything in took,” he said. Dickens competed in the 2004 Olympics in Athens and the Lon-

is also the chairperson of the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District, said he didn’t have much information yet on what the changes meant for local government. But enhanced local government involvement is not far-fetched. A May 2, Toronto Star article highlighted plans by the council of MacTier, Ontario, to rent out their hockey rink to a company that plans to grow medical marijuana. Larry Braid, mayor of the hamlet of MacTier, said the project would create 12 to 30 jobs and help the local economy. It has another benefit; the arena costs $250,000 to run annually, but only brings in about $40,000. The idea is facing stiff opposition from some “flabbergasted” residents, who aren’t keen on losing a community centre – especially to a grow-op located not far from an elementary school. In the spirit of bluesky thinking, I asked Wilks about the likelihood of getting some federal grants for a city-owned medical marijuana growop. How about combining it with the idea of a technology-park that was floating around about five years ago? You could heat the greenhouse with the waste heat. Could Revelstoke get some federal money for that? He’d wish city council the best of luck, but the answer would be no, Wilks said. It’s not news, but Wilks restated that the Conservative government had no plans to move towards legalization, and it wasn’t something he supported personally. Like many police officers who’ve experienced the results of serious motor vehicle accidents, his first reason was lack of reliable, on-the-spot impairment testing. He also gave several other reasons. The obvious political challenges aside, there are lots of other reasons for local governments to be wary about which direction they take on the medical pot issue.
Decriminalization advocates mount provincial referendum Dana Larsen is a highprofile, Vancouver-based
marijuana decriminalization and legalization advocate who’s spearheading SensibleBC’s campaign to decriminalize marijuana in B.C. using the provincial referendum process. In an interview with the Times Review, Larsen said he felt popular opinion would support their efforts in a referendum, if they make it there. “The hard part is getting the signatures,” Larsen said.
B.C.’s referendum rules are tough – you need 10 per cent of registered voters in every electoral district to sign the referendum petition within a 90-day period. (Theirs is from September through November 2013). Larsen panned the federal medical marijuana rule changes, calling them “a step sideways” and “Ill-advised and poorly thought out.”
The new rules will drive prices up for patients – he predicted up to ten-fold – and put the cost on par with black market marijuana. Larsen feels the system is designed to centralize production and will rely on shipping through Canada Post, leading to degraded quality control as patients aren’t able to see the products first-hand. Tinctures, extracts, oils and ointments
aren’t allowed – products some patients need. Although the rule changes point to large warehouse operations that may bring in new property and business tax revenue for local governments, Larsen believes it’ll be short-term. The momentum towards decriminalization and legal-

U16 boys soccer sweep weekend games Contributed by Revelstoke Youth Soccer Association
The Revelstoke Arrow Helicopters U16 boys soccer team came away with two wins this week against the Kamloops Orange team. On Wednesday, the team travelled to Salmon Arm to play and after losing two players to injury, still came away with a 1-0 win on a goal by Gabriel Laidlaw. Saturday’s home game brought more injuries to coach Rob Evans’ team and kept team physiotherapist, Prue Hicks from Red Cedar Physiotherapy very busy! Although there were many chances by Timo Holtappels, Chase Bafaro and Isaac Callaghan, the game remained
scoreless until Rhys Evans placed a hard shot into the top of the net in the second half. Kamloops had a chance to tie it on a late free kick but Revelstoke held on for the win and its second straight shutout with great defensive play by Callum Hicks, Adam Smith, Nick Saar, and Austin Carter as well as keeper Gordon Mason. Revelstoke’s next games are Saturday, May 25, at 1 p.m. at Queen Elizabeth field and Sunday, May 26, at 1 p.m. at the Grandstand field.
Huge win for U-14 Girls After two tough losses the previous weekend, the Revelstoke U14
girls soccer team rebounded with a huge win. Revelstoke’s Myah Kramer scored early in the game and in an end-to-end nailbitter to the last seconds, the Revelstoke girls hung on to the 1-0 win over a tough Kamloops team.
U12 boys undefeated The U12 Development team had a successful day on the pitch in Salmon Arm on Sunday. They defeated the host Shuswap team 2-1 in a well played game with many chances. Defender Hayden Mallet saved the win with a late second half header off the line. It was the team’s first jamboree with a full roster, which they used to their
advantage in the second game to force a 1-1 draw with a large Vernon side. Robbie Pattinson set up Harrison Fenwick to even the score with only a minute left. The boys ended their day by walking out on the pitch together and calling “Happy Mother’s Day” to all their mothers in the stands. Well done boys.
U11 boys lose narrowly The Revelstoke U11 boys soccer team competed in a jamboree in Kamloops on May 12. The jamborees are organized by the Thompson Okanagan Youth Soccer Association (TOYSA) and feature three teams each from Kelowna and Kamloops, two from Vernon and one each from Penticton, Shuswap and Revelstoke. The league is designed to introduce youth to
competitive soccer and sportsmanship. Coach Alan Chell commends TOYSA for doing an excellent job of organizing and thanks Alex Farrugia for all her efforts with TOYSA on behalf of local soccer. On May 12 Revelstoke lost two lose games by identical 2-0 scores. The first game was against Penticton and the second against Vernon. Revelstoke competed well in both games. Chell was particularly pleased with the play of goalkeeper David Kline and commented that David takes command of the penalty area, has great reflexes and is fearless in net. Conner Templeton also played well and quite often it is a good pass from Conner that starts the transition from defence to attack. The team plays next in the Shuswap on May 26.

Medical marijuana dispensary medical marijuana, from p. 13 ization is building, and that will ultimately disrupt the market, causing prices to drop dramatically, in turn disrupting the business model of Health Canada-licensed warehouse operations. Larsen points to the current B.C. election, where some campaigning leaders have left the door open for decriminalization. “They can’t get away with saying it’s a federal issue anymore,” Larsen said. One of SensibleBC’s core arguments is that while drug laws are federal jurisdiction, the provincial government has practical say in how police resources are utilized. SensibleBC proposes their “Sensible Policing Act” that would actively discourage and block police from pursuing marijuana possession charges, amongst other steps. ***
Many Southern Interior towns have medical dispensaries – such as in Nelson, where MP Wilks made his recent RDCK presentation. What about Revelstoke? The new Health Canada rules will force the unknown number of local patients who grow their own (or buy from licenced growers) to find alternate sources. Is it time for one in Revelstoke? “Dispensaries are already illegal and they get raided fairly often and it just depends on where you are. In Vancouver the [Vancouver Police Department] and city council have made a policy decision to leave legitimate dispensaries alone, but other parts of the province, other parts of the country it varies wildly,” Larsen said. “It really comes down to a local decision.” Local authorities set the tone in the de facto grey area. “If you don’t have support from city hall, and your

neighbours and your landlord, then you definitely have problems,” Larsen explained. Even when they’ve ticked all the boxes, there’s still an arbitrariness to enforcement.
Malakwa resident hopes to open dispensary in Revelstoke Malakwa resident Leslie Johnson is aiming to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Revelstoke. He’s put the feelers out to city hall and is exploring retail options here. The 39-year-old splits his time between the Eagle Valley and Revelstoke, where his daughter lives. Johnson sports a long beard and wore a burgundy ‘Eagle Valley Medical Marijuana Society’ T-shirt when I met him last week. He walks with a limp, the result of a car crash that left him with serious back injuries. The injuries
were exacerbated when he tried to go back to work at a sawmill, doing repetitive lifting. He turned to medical marijuana to help with the pain “Things have been changing in Revelstoke,” Johnson said. “A lot of people who don’t smoke it don’t like the money being wasted by the cops and the politicians and the prisons trying to enforce the rules. They just see it as another alcohol prohibition gone wrong.” Johnson said he’s been a licensed medical grower for about three years, and has been planning his Revelstoke medical dispensary for about the same amount of time. The former full-time Revelstoke resident said the demand is already there; many patients never bothered with Health Canada licenses and just bought from the black market. Those who are licensed to grow will be forced out by the federal rule changes. He hopes to open in a quiet retail location downtown where he can offer
a medical marijuana directly. He isn’t planning to have a smoking area on the premises. Johnson hopes to get his paperwork into the city soon. He has a license to grow medical marijuana, but requires other approvals from Health Canada before he moves forward. Although he wants to make it as official as possible, the proposed dispensary operates in a grey area – a medical dispensary isn’t legal, but they’re sometimes tolerated, sometimes not. “I don’t want to do any time over it,” Johnson said; he’s trying to cover his bases as best he can. The Times Review spoke with the Revelstoke RCMP, who referred us to their legal representative. He wasn’t available to speak by press time. Johnson said locating just outside of city limits isn’t his preference, but is a possibility –including Malakwa – although it wouldn’t necessarily keep him in step with authorities.

Obituaries Obituaries Audrey Lois King
Audrey Lois King (nee Lennard) passed away peacefully in Trail, BC on May 5, 2013 surrounded with love by her family. Born in Revelstoke on August 14, 1932, Audrey was pre-deceased by her father Oscar Adolf, her mother, Minnie Leonora and her brother Stanley. Audrey’s grandsons, Jared Butcher (daughter Linda) and Matthew and Corey King (son Bill) were her pride and joy, and she loved them dearly. Audrey will be missed by her many nieces and nephews, from Vancouver Island to Medicine Hat, all of whom brought her much happiness through her life. As a young girl Audrey was busy with basketball, gymnastics, lots of friends and music. At home Audrey loved to play the piano for her family and friends, often accompanied by her dad on accordion. In 1952, she met a young lad named Bill and they soon were singing sweet harmonies. Audrey and Bill were married on October 10, 1953 and proudly called Revelstoke home until they moved to Fruitvale in February, 2009. A graveside service for family and friends will be held at 11:00 am on Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at the columbarium in the Mountain View Cemetery in Revelstoke. A tea will follow in the basement of the United Church. As an expression of sympathy, donation in Audrey’s name may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada at 4 - 1551 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, British Columbia V1Y 9M9 or online at www.heartandstroke.com You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.myalternatives.ca “The love of family will always prevail.�

PETER RODERICK GRAUER 1941 - 2013
“To be what we are, to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end in life.â€? Robert Louis Stevenson On the gusty morning of April 27, 2013, Peter Grauer passed away in the loving arms of his family in Kamloops, British Columbia. Peter was born in Revelstoke, BC, to Haakon Peter (d.1958) and Nora Evelyn nĂŠe Portman (d.1993) Grauer. He attended school there with his two younger brothers, Robert (Leslie) and AlďŹ e (both of whom predeceased him in the early 1990s), graduated and went on to UBC. Even though he made Kamloops his home with his family for his adult life, he held the small-town beauty, magic and friendships of his life growing up in Revelstoke very close to his heart. Peter was a very private man who garnered love and respect from his family and the many people he met on his journey. It was easy for him to see humour in the smallest nuances, and his infectious laugh would lift a room. He had a keenly inquisitive mind and constantly pursued knowledge. Although he came from a modest background, he treasured everything life had to offer - family and friends, the beauty of nature, music and art, the joy of owning a piece of land, opportunities to enrich his life, and of course good food. He was a proud and conscientious Canadian. Peter lived a full and interesting life and never let adversity defeat him. His integrity was admirable and paralleled by few. He consistently pursued what was right even if compromise would have made life easier. How we envied his quiet and gentle conďŹ dence. Even after struggling with difďŹ cult decisions, he slept with a clear conscience – his compass was always adjusted to “True Northâ€?. Peter was a genuine and generous man. He appreciated input and unstintingly acknowledged contribution. He was most passionate about gaining and sharing knowledge. Those who were liked and loved by Peter were gifted with encouragement and inspiration. The story of Bill Miner intrigued Peter, and after years of research, in 2006 he published his ďŹ rst book, Interred With Their Bones, for which he received the Lieutenant Governor’s award. While researching the Bill Miner book, Peter came across fascinating and little known history of our province inspiring his next work. Following 6 years of meticulous research focusing on the period 1858 to 1862, Taken at the Flood, is soon to be published posthumously by his immediate family and close friends. To have this body of work completed was Peter’s last wish. Peter’s books will be his legacy to truth and fairness in the way our history is remembered, with the facts accurately recorded. His quest was to ignite an interest in Canadian history, which he felt had often received a rather dry and cursory treatment. Despite arguments to the contrary, he believed that Canadian history was dynamic, exciting, and to a large degree, unexplored. His writing puts the reader in the moment. Peter leaves his truest love, best friend and partner of 43 years, Karen Marie (nĂŠe McKenzie) Grauer, his daughter, Kirsten Marie Grauer, 5-year-old granddaughter, Norah Marie Grauer Bell, and son-in-law and friend, Timothy John Bell of Kamloops. He was predeceased by his son, Karl Edward Grauer, in the spring of 1999. There will not be a service at this time. Peter’s life and last accomplishment will be celebrated together at the launch of “Taken At The Floodâ€? sometime this summer. Date, place and time TBA. Messages of condolence for the family may be left at www.inmemoriam.ca

Dickens’ main message is to swim well and have fun from page 12 don Olympics in 2012. In between, he missed the 2008 Olympics in Beijing after a poor performance at the Canadian Olympic Trials, despite being ranked number one in the country. That setback made him re-think his swimming career. “There were times when I didn’t know if I wanted to keep going forward,” he said. “It was the encouragement of my fans and my family, and me taking a break asking if I wanted to keep going. “I still think I had more to prove to myself and I was capable of doing a lot more. If I left the sport, I would have always had that feeling of wanting to go back. After this last year, I look back and I’m thankful I kept going. “You learn a lot about yourself when you experience a defeat like that.” Since the 2012 Olympics, Dick-
ens has taken a break from swimming. He’s still training, but only at half his previous level. He’s mulling whether or not he wants to compete at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Dickens is giving these camps through the company Future Stars, which arranges camps between highlevel athletes and youth clubs. The camp featured a mix of in pool sessions, lectures and dry land training. One of the main messages he wants to get out is to make sure swimming remains fun, rather than just focusing on having best times. “I think we lose site pretty easily when we don’t have best times of why we’re doing the sport,” he said. “I want to help them realize to make sure you control yourself, encourage your teammates and just love swimming because that’s going to carry you further in life and further in your sport.” The Aquaducks have been training since the start of May. The first meet is June 8–9 in Salmon Arm.
