Five years ago, a block of townhouses were built on Centre Street, in Revelstoke’s Southside neighbourhood. Built by Shire Properties, when the Rivendell Townhomes came on the market three years ago, they were listed at more than $450,000 – a whopping amount that reflected the excitement in the Revelstoke real estate market when construction began. According to Arvid Zakary, the managing broker at Revy Realty, a few units pre-sold for more than $500,000. I was sitting in the Revy Realty office, talking to Zakary about the Revelstoke real estate market five years since the global economy crashed. He pulled out a sale sheet for one of the town homes that sold just a few days earlier. The sale price was $240,000 – barely half the original asking price. “They missed the market. They didn’t finish until 2010,” said Zakary. “They were on the downside of the market and when they finished building, they had already missed the market.” The “market” was the huge spike in real estate prices that accompanied the development of Revelstoke Mountain Resort. It has been followed by a drop of almost 40 per cent ever since the global economy crashed and the money stopped flowing into the resort market. Ten years ago, real estate in Revelstoke was a bargain compared to many other towns in the area. The average sale price in 2003 was $150,980, according to MLS statistics provided by Uldis Bokis, the managing broker at Royal LePage. That was for all real estate categories – homes, lots, businesses and trailers. The market started to warm up two years later. In 2005, the average selling price jumped to about $180,000 – almost a 20 per cent increase. It jumped again in 2006 to $220,796. “The market was very depressed then,” said Bokis, who has spent decades in the Revelstoke real estate industry as an appraiser and, since 1998, as a broker. “There was talk of something happening, so it started to go up.” And up it did. Way, way up. On January 17, 2007, a big press conference was held in Grizzly Plaza announcing the development of Revelstoke Mountain Resort. A group of investors had bought a gondola and high speed quad and were going to start building the biggest ski resort in North America. They put on a big marketing blitz, getting international media attention. They hyped the resort as the next big thing. When condos went on sale that February, they sold out in days, despite the high asking prices that were comparable to more established resorts. “It was a well-orchestrated campaign that brought in a good number of buyers from throughout the United States, Europe and Canada,” said

Revelstoke RCMP are looking for a man who attempted to enter the back door of a local residence late Tuesday evening. RCMP said a resident in the 700 block of Mackenzie Avenue was startled when the man tried to get in at about 9 p.m. on Sept. 17. The man fled on foot with the homeowner in pursuit on a bicycle. The cyclist located the intruder in a neighbouring yard, apparently trying to hide by holding still on a large landscaping rock. The suspect took off again, and police were called. Police searched the downtown area, stopping people who matched the description, but no arrest was made. They are asking residents to be on the lookout for a man in his 20s. He’s about 1.83 metres tall (six feet), 98 kilos (215 pounds), with an athletic build and short, dark hair. He was wearing a dark hoody and dark coloured pants. “Revelstoke RCMP are advising the public to ensure they lock their doors and windows, especially at night and when leaving your residence unattended,” said Revelstoke RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Thomas Blakney. If you have info on this incident, contact the Revelstoke RCMP at 250-837-5255

Initiative to reintroduce migrating salmon to Canadian Columbia River New campaign wants to return salmon to the Columbia River in Canada, saying new dam bypass systems in U.S. highlight the possibilities. Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Prior to the construction of hydroelectric dams, and human encroachment before that, the Columbia River was one of the most abundant salmon rivers in the world. An estimated 10 to 15 million (or more) coursed up the river each year, some journeying past Revelstoke, around the Big Bend, and all the way to the Columbia Headwaters near Invermere. Today, about 2.5 million salmon make the abbreviated journey; many are hatchery fish. The construction of the Grand Coulee Dam in the 1930s and 1940s ended the migration north of that point. Today, the Chief Joseph Dam, just downstream of the Grand Coulee in central Washington State, is the end of the line for salmon migrating up the Columbia. A new initiative unveiled publicly in Revelstoke last week plans to eventually return the migrating chinook, sockeye and steelhead back to the North Columbia. Two ‘salmon ambassadors’ visited a Revelstoke Secondary School classroom on Sept. 19, where they pitched the idea to a class studying First Nations issues, planting a seed with the generation who could see the idea through. Salmo resident Gerry Nellestijn is a streamkeeper trained in cultural anthropology and environmental management. He’s deeply involved in several fish-related organizations, including the Salmo Watershed Streamkeepers’ Society, the Columbia River Round Table, the White Sturgeon Recovery Initiative and more. He was in Revelstoke as a ‘salmon ambassador,’ here to introduce the initiative. He was joined by Nevada Nicholas, also a salmon ambassador, and a lands and resources stewardship assistant for the Ktunaxa Nation. The goal is to create systems, programs and technological solutions that will allow salmon to bypass the dams.

Fish ladders and other systems are in use around the world, but the massive dams of the Columbia, such as the Grand Coulee, Revelstoke and Mica, are a daunting challenge. Solutions could include ladders, mechanical bucketing systems, vacuum systems, trucking or new technologies. “I hear all about the things that we can’t do,” Nellestijn said. “This is not just about salmon; this is about healthy ecosystems.” He points to the cascading environmental impacts created by the loss of salmon in the Upper Columbia River, which used

to see millions of 50-pounders die in the river and on its shores after mating. The epic migration fuelled the regional ecosystem. After they disappeared, “the whole system started to crash,” Nellestijn said. He points me to the Deschutes Passage project in Oregon, which opened in 2009. The $135-million project by Portland General Electric saw the construction of an 83-metre underwater tower and ramp above the Round

Butte Dam, allowing for the collection and transfer of fish downstream. Nellestijn says it’s an example of a technology-enabled solution (and in fact, the Deschutes Passage replaces a failed salmon bypass system originally installed in the dam when it was completed in 1964.) It sounds expensive. Who’s going to pay for it? The idea is to link into the Columbia River Treaty (CRT) renewal process. The CRT is an agree-

ment between the US and Canada that coordinates flood control and hydroelectric production on both sides of the border, and is up for possible renegotiation starting in 2024. Nellestijn explains that First Nations, cooperating through the Canadian Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fisheries Commission, are making the return of salmon a key CRT issue, and they’re rolling out their plans now. Nellestijn also said businesses and organizations that “profit from their use of environmental resources” could help pay. “This is the single most important opportunity to have an ecological difference in the Upper Columbia River Basin,” Nellestijn said in an interview with the Times Review. The essential ingredients of a successful reintroduction program, Nellestijn said, are integrated, collaborative, watershed-based strategic planning that shares local, First Nations and technical knowledge, all backed up by a 10-year, guaranteed implementation strategy. At their Sept. 19 presentation, Nicholas and Nellestijn underscored First Nations intentions to act on the idea, saying they are putting together experiments already (he wouldn’t elaborate.) They said the salmon are the key to many things in the Upper Columbia, including ecological biodiversity and the restoration of traditional cultural and economic practices based on the salmon migration. A student asked about political will. Is it there? “The First Nations are not going to wait,” Nellestijn said, adding the political will is there amongst the First Nations working on the reintroduction plan. The plan will be further unveiled at the Columbia Basin Salmon Festival in Invermere on Sept. 28, entitled, ‘The River We Had, The River We Have and the River We Want.” I ask Nellestijn what are the top three challenges to the reintroduction idea. “Dams, dams and dams,” Nellestijn replied. The fourth, he said, is climate change.

MLA Norm Macdonald not running for B.C. NDP leadership Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Columbia River–Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald said he will not be running for NDP leadership, and would support Mike Farnworth should he choose to run in the race to replace Adrian Dix as leader. “I thought Adrian did a fantastic job but I also thought Mike would have been great and I haven’t changed that view,” Macdonald told the Revelstoke Times Review. “He’s very capable. The things he talks about will resonate with people in our area. If he decides to put his name forward, I will offer my support.” Dix announced on Wednesday, Sept. 18, that he was resigning as leader of the B.C. NDP, but would stay on until a new leader

was found. Dix said the NDP’s loss to the B.C. Liberals in the May provincial election is his responsibility. “It has become clear to me that the best interests of our party mean that I need to step aside for a new leader who can lead us to victory in 2017,” Dix told a news conference at a downtown Vancouver hotel. “It is my hope that a leadership vote can be held by mid-2014 at the latest, though of course any final decision on timing will be made by the NDP.” Dix said he intends to stay on as MLA for Vancouver-Kingsway and run for reelection there. The party has a convention scheduled for November, at which his continued leadership will be considered, along with the overall direction of the party. Dix announced his intentions at a party

caucus meeting before making his intentions public, where he said his fellow NDP MLAs are “resolute and determined to keep the pressure on the government and hold them to account for their cynical campaign.” Macdonald said the announcement wasn’t a surprise. He called Dix “the smartest guy in the room” and said the NDP had been very effective in the house with Dix as the leader. “There was no question with Adrian we had somebody who was very bright and very hard working and would have been a wonderful Premier,” said Macdonald, but, he added, the NDP needed to have a leader who could make up the voting gap with the Liberals. “There’s no question in the campaign to come close isn’t good enough,” he said.

“We really are talking about three or four per cent difference between the Liberals and the NDP and that’s a difference we need to make up.” He said the next leader will need to be able to connect with British Columbians so the party can get the support it needs to win the next election in 2017. Macdonald expects the next leader to come from one of the major political centres of the province, meaning Victoria or Vancouver, and said he didn’t think he could raise the money or get the exposure he would need to make a run at the leadership. “While Revelstoke and Golden are at the centre of our world, it’s not the centre of political life in British Columbia,” he said. He expects Farnworth, the MLA for Port Coquitlam, and John Horgan, the MLA for Juan de Fuca, to run. Farnworth, who finished second in the 2011 leadership race, told reporters he is considering running again. Macdonald supported Farnworth in the last leadership race. “I think we’ll get other members of caucus and possibly people from outside of caucus,” Macdonald said. “There’s a lot of talent and people that will do a very good job. They’ll have a chance to have a serious look at it and decide if they want to take on the challenge. “I’m confident we’ll have some good candidates.” With files from Tom Fletcher/Black Press

BC Hydro starts airport wetlands protection project Times Review staff

Work will begin next week on a project to protect the Revelstoke airport wetlands, BC Hydro announced today. The Airport Slough Wetland Protection Project will see BC Hydro place rip-rap on a Columbia River erosion channel in order to prevent the wetlands from draining. According to BC Hydro, a 115-metre long, Y-shaped erosion channel has been expanding towards the wetlands as a result of Columbia River flows, snowmelt and reservoir operations. The channel runs into the flats just south of the Illecillewaet River and north of Machete Island. The goal of the project is to see if the rip-rap can prevent the channel from expanding towards the wetland and draining it. The wetland is regarded as prime bird and wildlife habitat. The project is expected to take three weeks to complete, says BC Hydro. Recreationalists in the area are asked to be mindful of heavy equipment that will be accessing the area from road on the south side of the Illecillewaet River near the Selkirk Saddle Club. The project is one of three being done by BC Hydro in the Revelstoke area. Later this year, nest boxes will be placed throughout the flats to provide additional nesting habitat for ducks. In the spring, work will begin on a project to protect and expand the Cartier Bay wetland at 8 Mile.

Real estate market has bottomed out, local Realtors say

The Rivendell town homes on Centre Street have seen their prices drop by almost half the original asking price when they went on the market a few years ago. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

from page 1 Joe Verbalis with Stoke Realty. In town, the hype followed. People from all over the world bought up what they could. Single-family homes, condos, lots and sub-divisions were snapped up. The average sale price almost doubled in a year, to almost $400,000. “There was absolutely no reason for it,” Zakary told me. “It was mass speculation and mass greed and the luckiest people are the ones who sold and moved on to another town.” Some people did take advantage of the spike and sold their homes so they could leave town. Before that, prices were so low that it was impossible to leave. The boom meant they could. In 2008, the global economy crashed, and the Revelstoke real estate market went with it. It was a slow decline at first, but when the shine came off and people realized there was no more demand, prices dropped rapidly. The market stalled between 2008 and 2010 as a glut of overvalued properties sat on the market. People still tried to sell for the high prices their neighbours got, but no one was buying anymore. The speculators, investors and secondary home buyers that had flooded the market had left, leaving only locals left to buy. It took a few years for people to realize the good days were over. “Things really started slowing down in 2011. People realized that the bloom was over,” said Zakary.

“The market stalled, but it didn’t really fall. People were holding out hope of getting high prices for everything. They saw what their neighbours got and wanted to get more. It took a while for reality to set in.” So far this year, the average sale price has been $252,000 almost a 40 per cent drop from the 2007 highs. Examples of the crash abound. The beautiful home at the corner of Mackenzie and Ninth that was once listed for around $1 million, is now on the market at a little more than $500,000. There’s the Centre Street development that Zakary talked about. He also mentioned a new, large house in Arrow Heights that recently sold for about $525,000, less than it cost to build. Bokis told me about the resale of a lot at RMR for half its original price. Some people watched their property value fall to where it was worth less than what they owed on the house. That has resulted in 12 bank foreclosures as people have gone to re-finance their mortgages, said Zakary.” You can’t get someone to give you a loan for a value that you don’t own,” he said. What has been selling? The most popular properties in Revelstoke lately have been homes downtown, particularly those for under $400,000. Young people, with or without children, have been buying homes close to the schools and downtown. “It’s a steady, modest market that has largely been focused on houses in the $275-400,000

range,” said Verbalis. What aren’t selling are vacant lots. High construction costs, driven by a variety of factors like high labour costs, expensive materials, high building code standards, servicing costs and development cost charges at city hall, have meant that it’s still cheaper to buy than to build something new. “Why would you build something new when you can buy someone else’s dream home for less?” said Zakary. According to the people I spoke to, empty lots aren’t being sold, and when they are, they’re going for less than $100,000, where at the market peak, they would have gone for more than twice that. “You only have new construction when costs for land and construction are lower than existing market values of existing homes. That’s the only time you have construction of any volume,” said Bokis. “If you can build for less than an existing home, that’s when you build.” The resort market has essentially stopped dead. While the first phased release of condos at RMR initially almost sold out, many of those deals didn’t close and many remain for sale. By several accounts, sales there have been moribund for years, other than a few re-sales for well below the initial asking price. “Real estate development in the resort environment dropped off significantly if not completely,” said Sally Carmichael, a market consultant for real estate develop-

ment. “Other resorts have slowed down and the majority of resorts ceased development.” The urban real estate development market has been picking up lately, she said, but there’s still caution in the secondary home market that drives resort real estate. “It took the biggest hit and it will take longer for it to come back around,” said Carmichael. “I think the market would have to see the economy to continue to show positive signs of recovery. I also think the buyers have to have a level of confidence in the resorts, that they’ve been able to weather the storm and can maintain and enhance and improve their product.” In that regard, the slow but steady improvements at RMR could be regarded as a good sign. Carmichael said the resort has built up a good buzz for itself to capitalize on should the market rebound. “It has the terrain, the snowfall. It is harder to get to but the people that make the effort enjoy the pay off,” she said. “Revelstoke is still perceived as the new jewel in the resort crown.” All three Realtors I spoke to said the market has bottomed out. That real estate prices in Revelstoke are now comparable to other towns and with interest rates at historic lows (but just starting to climb again), now is the time to buy. Prices still might come down a little bit, but for the most part, barring some unforeseen circumstance, like the resort shutting down or CP Rail pulling out of town, the market has reached a point where its within reach of most people. “The prices have come down to a point where there are some very good values available,” said Zakary. “I’ve given you doom and gloom for the last five years, but truthfully this is when people should be buying.” While doing research for this article, I happened on the website of

Brenda Ellis, a Vernon-based Realtor in the Okanagan. She writes a blog and, most handily, she publishes weekly sales reports showing the listing price and sale for properties within the Okanagan-Mainline Real Estate Board’s jurisdiction (OMREB). She quickly produced some statistics for me. So far this year, there were nine lots sold at an average price of $164,000, five mobile homes sold for an average of $104,580, 41 single family homes sold at an average of $315,210, and nine apartments and townhomes at an average price of $219,944. Looking at single-family homes, they sold in prices ranging from $142,500 to $620,000 and ranged in size from 789 to 2,608 square-feet. They sat on the market for 15 to 507 days. The selling price was generally about 10 per cent below asking price. With 195 properties listed for sale, she said there was about a two a year supply of real estate for sale, and it was a buyers market. The number of Albertans buying in the OMREB zone is up, which bodes well, said Ellis. “We’re quite a bit beyond 2008. What I’ve noticed this summer is people are saying, ‘We’re tired of waiting, we want to get back to our lives and go back to living,’” she said. “The baby boomers only have so many quality days remaining.” I mentioned these numbers to Bokis, and he somewhat agreed. He put the supply at about one-year and said properties would sell, as long as they were priced realistically. “The market has stabilized and it’s going to have some normalcy, and will slowly, slowly grow, unless something happens - like someone pouring a billion dollars into the mountain and creating more excitement,” he said. “The market is a buyer’s market, but I’ve seen it much worse, where there was almost nothing moving.”

RPAC public subsidies, alcohol sales hurt Roxy Theatre Editor, After reading about plans to allow alcohol at the RSS theatre (School Board Votes to allow alcohol at theatre, News, Sept. 18.), I felt compelled to respond with my own headline: Other than Mauro Marrone, what are you guys thinking about! I found it quite absurd that the main premise for wanting a limited liquor license, for future events to be held on this publicly-funded school district property, was to attract those events that are now being held at the Roxy Theatre. What Ms. Manley and our illustrious school board appear to be missing, is the fact that other than last year (2012), The Banff Mountain Film Festival has always been hosted at the Roxy Theatre, every year since 1998 (15 years) when the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour first started. And as far as the recent Comedy Fest held at the Roxy in August, that's a 19-plus event, and a full range of alcoholic beverages were served throughout the Roxy venue, including our auditorium, for the entire four-hour duration of the performances. An event of that nature is strictly ‘adult only’ oriented and in my opinion, has absolutely no business being held in any public school performing arts centre. Think of the example we set for our children who attend these schools. To my mind, The Revel-

stoke Performing Arts Centre (RPAC) was added during final planning, to the design and build out of the new $40 million, provincially-funded, Revelstoke Secondary School (RSS). It was intended to support the City of Revelstoke’s passionate performing arts scene and be a major component of Revelstoke Secondary’s Neighbourhood Learning Centre, combined with the addition of the new $14 Million Begbie View Elementary School, connected to RSS on the same site. The RPAC was constructed in the middle of RSS and cannot be accessed easily from outside, but rather only through the hallways of RSS. It was originally envisioned to relieve the lack of a professional venue for local plays and concerts and to also provide a venue that could attract touring plays, musicals and concerts, and of course be a venue for many internal RSS and Begbie View student arts curriculum related activities. I was surprised to hear just before the opening of the RPAC that they had also installed a digital projection system and a retractable screen in this facility. I was reassured, that this addition was done to facilitate educational uses. I had always been supportive of the RPAC concept as, for many years, I had watched our local Revelstoke Theatre Company, the community band, and our community

choir struggle to find affordable and adequate facilities for their rehearsals and performances. I was pleased to see the RPAC solve this issue for them. After the RPAC opened, we witnessed the struggle between School District 19 and the Revelstoke Arts Council to work through a mutual agreeable framework for managing the RPAC on an ongoing basis. This resulted in the hiring of an RPAC manager, Miriam Manley, from outside the ranks of School District 19, in September of 2012. Since that point in time I have watched, in great angst, as more and more digital film events take place at the RPAC which have previously always been held at the Roxy Theatre. I now had to look at the RPAC as being a direct competitor to the Roxy Theatre! I believe that our RPAC manager should perhaps concentrate more on attracting those events, that better befit the RPAC venue, such as live plays, musicals, concerts, solo artists and other live performance groups who require the larger stage with a full backstage and power curtains, two modern dressing rooms, full lighting and audio assemblies and the many other amenities that have been installed, at great taxpayer expense (including the school taxes paid by the Roxy annually), at the RPAC. I am relatively certain that the Ministry of Education

would be quite disappointed to hear that Revelstoke now has a taxpayer-funded, publicallyheld institution, which is trying to run as a public business that competes with a struggling downtown private business. The Roxy Theatre has been a historically revered downtown Revelstoke cultural centre since 1938. After 75 years of serving our community, I have no intention of remaining silent while the RPAC strives to diminish the Roxy’s chances of survival by trying to compete for events that are currently held at the Roxy Theatre. Another business fact, that I would be quick to point out, is that the revenues obtained by simply renting the RPAC on a nightly basis are a fraction of what could be derived by organizing live events in house, marketing them effectively and selling tickets in advance, and then professionally managing the events. It is certainly a lot more work but the result would be greater revenues for RPAC. I will be equally astonished to see City of Revelstoke’s mayor and council continue to support this continued attack on an integral downtown Revelstoke business, such as they have by approving a $25,000 Tourism Infrastructure grant on Aug. 27.

Revelstoke’s Emergency Services Fight Back Against Hunger Food Drive was again a resounding success. There were more than 150 volunteers on Wednesday, and about that many again on Thursday. Together, they brought in more than five tonnes of food – 5.35 tonnes to be exact – and $7,900 in cash donations. The food drive, which started as a small group of kids and parents going door-to-door on Halloween, and expanded when RCMP Cst. Gary McLaughlin brought the town’s emergency services personnel on board, has taken on a life of its own, with more than two dozen local businesses and organizations volunteering their time. Food bank manager Patti Larson thanked Krista Carnegie for organizing the food drive, all the volunteers who came out, and everyone who made donations. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

City of Revelstoke

City leadership needs to clarify mission, plans, strategy E d it o rial More than is good for anyone’s health or sanity. That’s how many city meetings, open houses, planning sessions and committee sessions I sit through. Yet, despite paying close attention, I couldn’t tell you where the City of Revelstoke is going from here. Here’s why. Even casual followers know the basics: Five years of intensive, resort-driven planning processes. A total overhaul of all development-related bylaws and policies. Then, after years of macroeconomic disaster, the planning director resigns. From there, a new ‘restraint’ agenda with a focus on improved customer service at city hall. That’s the city hall story at its most basic. But many plotlines haven’t been wrapped up. For example, we were told the economic downturn was actually fortuitous, in a sense. The pause allowed Revelstoke to modernize its planning and development processes in time for the next development boom. Currently, the plans are half-finished, but the overall unified development bylaw has been killed. How is this going to be tied back together? It hasn’t been sorted out. What happens if the economy picks up? The transportation plan is another example. It’s been received by the city, then it has basically fallen off the agenda, and lingered for years. What about the vacation rental plan? Remember that one? The city was going to allow new vacation rental zones through the city. That’s just faded away. The Integrated Community Sustainability Plan was presented to council in the past months. Is that going to occupy space on the shelf alongside the others? There are several more inter-related planning processes that are also in limbo. The City of Revelstoke’s new customer-focused agenda seemed to be wellreceived when it was announced earlier this year. Looking at it another way, the city pronounced it would do what it should have been doing all along: providing adequate customer service. Better-received was the austerity messaging; the results of that effort will be measured in dollars, and will be assessed in the coming months when budget numbers roll out. The City of Revelstoke – staff and council – needs to communicate what their intentions are around these outstanding planning issues. Until they do, we’re faced with an uncertainty-generating, investment-killing vacuum of information. There is no clarity around plans or directions for the future. I write this as a close observer of city hall; if you’re further removed, you may assume you missed a plot turn when you skipped an episode. You didn’t. In fact, you didn’t miss anything; just the deus ex machina that is restraint and efficiency messaging, and an apparent unwillingness or inability on city hall’s part to address years worth of unfinished (and expensive!) planning processes. – Aaron Orlando, editor

Performing Arts Centre has big 2013-14 lineup planned Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre is launching its 2013/14 season this week, with a variety of shows, including a movie, a talk by one of Canada’s leading intellectuals, and a concert. Starting with the launch of the Movies in the Mountains series on Wednesday, Sept. 25, the theatre will play host to almost 20 movies, plays and concerts over the next three months. “We’re working in different kinds of genres and making sure we develop what we’re offering in each genre – dance, theatre, family shows, mountain culture and film,” explained Miriam Manley, the manager of the theatre. The theatre had a “massively successful” first season, said Manley, attracting an average of 144 people to 34 shows at the 275-seat venue (that doesn’t include the city’s poorly attended town hall meeting.) “The Arts Council put on their concert series and had bigger audiences than they’ve ever had,” she said. “We’re seeing arts events who are coming here that wouldn’t have happened before because we have the venue.” This year, Manley has been working on an en even bigger series of shows that she started developing last year. In addition to the many performances, there will also be more chances for Revelstokians to take part, such as an improv comedy workshop and week-long dance workshop in February. So far 34 events have been scheduled for the

2013-14 season, including the Revelstoke Arts Council concert series and events by the NCES and Revelstoke Theatre Company. “The way I think about it is in different kinds of genres. What are we offering for alternative film? What are we offering for dance? We still have the ballet, but now we have contemporary dance. What have we got in the way of theatre and family shows?” said Manley. “That’s how I’m thinking of it – breaking it down into different genres of performing arts and in each area working on different partnerships in Revelstoke and provincially to bring in the best work that we can.” With that in mind, here’s a look at what’s on store at the theatre until Christmas:

Film

It is a suspenseful and thrilling historical political drama about a savvy young ad exec in 1988 Chile. The

Cornucopia hopes to give Revelstoke shoulder season a boost New fall festival focuses on food and music in an attempt to bring people to town in slower season Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Bringing in tourists in the fall is a nice bonus for business. It’s a tricky ordeal, as school starts up and many people go home. Yet, there are still people taking advantage of the last bit of nice weather to hit the road and get out of town. Revelstoke Tourism is hoping to get some of those people into town with its new festival, Cornucopia. “Cornucopia is a fall festival of events in Revelstoke and I want to make it an annual thing,” Amy Flexman told me. “Every night there will ideally be some music and an all ages event as well, and something to do with food.” Flexman dropped by the Times Review office to go over everything on the schedule for Cornucopia, bringing her usual enthusiasm to the subject. It was a festival she started working on when she was first hired as the events co-ordinator for Revelstoke Tourism in the late-spring. Working with other groups, she has turned it into six days of events, with a different theme for each day. The goal is to turn Cornucopia into a tourism draw in the shoulder season. The festival is being promoted through Kootenay-Rockies Tourism, on the CBC, through RV rental agencies, and in regional newspapers. “We’re going to have it covered well this year so we can have a whole year to showcase what we did and build on it to make it bigger and better,” said Flexman. “Even if people don’t come from out of town, this is pretty great for Revelstoke to have.” There are daily events planned – a toonie swim at the pool, deals at the driving range at the golf club, and special menus at restaurants around town. For the latter, which is being called the Taste of Revelstoke, there were six restaurants on board, with more expecting to be added. The specials will include $5 appetizers, $15 mains, $5 deserts and $5 cocktails. “They try to source food as locally as they can and put together a full-

flavoured Taste of Revelstoke menu,” explained Flexman. “People can go try different menus throughout that week.” Cornucopia kicks off on Tuesday, Oct. 1, with Food for Thought, an event being hosted by the North Columbia Environmental Society at the Roxy Theatre starting at 6 p.m.. The evening will start with a chance for local youth, aged 12–29, to showcase multi-media projects with a local food theme. It will be followed by a film screening. Later, at Benoit’s at 9 p.m., Joanne Stacey will host Songwriters in the Round, a showcase featuring herself, Matthew Carter and Lindsay May. Wednesday’s theme is Fall Fashion, Flavours and Flair.

It was a coup for Big Eddybased Trapper Snowboards. Superstar snowboarder Travis Rice dropped by their manufac-

turing shop and picked up one of their Revelstoke-made snowboards last season. The clear topsheet is a feature of many Trapper snowboards. The see-through coating highlights the quality, locally-milled wood that makes

up the core of their boards; it’s far superior to mass-market cores, which are hidden away behind graphics on purpose. For Revelstoke specialty mill Take To Heart, who manufactured the core, it shows that there

The year 2013 is a milestone one for Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation.

there are more logs there than ever before. This is because we are handling logs for other operators. It is a source of revenue for us and real help to them in dealing with their logs. For various reasons, it makes more sense economically or logistically to run their logs through our yard and we have always had excess capacity there. This does not mean we are not handling our own logs in our yard. Our log marketing business is proceeding as usual there as well. Our log yard employees are showing their dedication

and expertise in keeping things running smoothly there. RCFC is a valuable community asset and we welcome input from the community. Our 20th anniversary gift to the community is a spectacular wooden carving by Rod Aspeslet that will be on display in the new visitor’s centre when it opens. I encourage the public to go and have a look at it.

Specialty mill Take To Heart from previous page and mill work. Now, he concentrates on niche products like timber frame materials, high-quality finishing woods such as base and crown mouldings, snowboard cores and a range of made to order specialty woods. This spring, Take To Heart was honoured with a special mention at the 2013 Wood WORKS! BC Wood Design Awards for their work on a high-end log home in Revelstoke. They helped develop

an all-natural, insulated wood wall system, which was cited by the judging panel, “as an exemplary example of a truly green building. Constructed of solidwood-wall panels and assembled with wood screws, the result is a highly-efficient building with little impact to the environment.” Starling explains his success is based on intricate working relationships with the local industry. He knows the suppliers and the suppliers know him; they help him find and access the right high-quality wood at the right

price. Flexibility is a key strength to his business. He can turn his operations on a dime to produce whatever the customer needs, and is available to do special orders and custom jobs. It doesn’t look like Starling is done his journey through the industry. He shares his plans to make inroads the home manufacturing business and sees lots of potential to create a great, contemporary product that fits with the market’s demand for healthy homes.

Hascarl grew up in Nakusp, where he started as a horse-logger. He worked as a CAT operator since he was 20, working for Speers Construction and for himself. “The artistry in building a logging road is in how you lay out the switchbacks,” said Sumner, who said logging road users continue to appreciate the craftsmanship that makes using the roads safer.

Forest Workers Society ready for renewal Cindy Pearce

Forest Worker’s Society

For almost 20 years the Revelstoke Forest Workers Society has supported worker training and communications about the local forest sector in Revelstoke. The society grew out of the land use planning processes in the mid- 1990s, starting first as an advisory group for a study of forest workers in the community, to ensure worker interests and individuals were involved in the planning processes. In 1995 the new Community Skills Centre formalized an advisory group which involved many of the original study participants. Since 2004, the group has operated as a non-

profit society, with a volunteer board of directors. Over the years the Society has designed and organized worker training, issued regular newsletters, hosted speakers and organized the annual Timber Days celebration of our community logging heritage. For the past few years, while the industry was faced with severe challenges, the Society did what it could with volunteer efforts and limited resources. As the industry begins to rebuild, the Society is doing the same. The community has enjoyed our annual Timber Day celebration – and it will continue. Over the past year the society has focused on assisting the

FOREST WEEK 2013

industry to find and train workers and contractors that are up to the difficult harvesting and log hauling conditions in the local mountains. As well, directors have made presentations to city council to describe the current local industry – which is very different from the industry in other parts of the province. As well there is interest in re-instating the regular newsletters and expanding communications. As our community grows and changes, the local forest industry will continue to be a key sector, and the Forest Workers Society will continue to support workers through training and communicate with the community and workers about this sector.

On Oct. 9 buy your local newspaper from a volunteer on the street. Your donation goes directly to a literacy program in your community. Join the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy and Black Press to promote, celebrate and support literacy initiatives in your community. The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) is the Columbia Basin and Boundary region not-for-profit literacy organization. Our vision is that local communities across the Columbia Basin and Boundary region will be healthy, inclusive, and committed to literacy and learning as lifelong and lifewide activities. CBAL works closely with libraries, schools, colleges and other community partners in your community to offer a variety of paths to learning. Schools and colleges provide formal learning opportunities that follow a cur-

riculum and result in formal recognition of learning by awarding diplomas or degrees. Both CBAL community based programming and college continuing education courses provide opportunities to learn in non-formal ways. That is, although there are recognized learning outcomes, the learning process is generally more relaxed and does not result in a diploma or degree. A silversmithing course at the local college or a senior’s computer program offered by CBAL are both examples of non-formal learning. CBAL’s informal learning programs provide experiential learning opportunities and are designed to be responsive to the needs of those who participate. They do not result in formal credits and are led by someone who is acting as a facilitator of learning. These kinds of programs include Autobiographical Writing, Making Connections: Learning and Reading Partners, ESL conversation groups, and various parent and child early learning programs. CBAL’s staff recognize the uniqueness of each commu-

nity we serve and offer non-formal and informal literacy and learning programs to meet specific, local needs. The staff helps adults develop the functional skills in reading, writing, numeracy, English language, essential workplace skills and computer skills they need to be successful lifelong learners. We also help families with resources and information about how to support the learning development of their children beginning at birth. Improved skills increase confidence and participation in the economic, political and cultural life of the community. You can make a difference in your local community. Participate in the Reach a Reader campaign by purchasing a paper on Oct. 9, volunteering to sell papers, or simply spreading the word as a campaign champion.

Grizzlies show improvements, but remain winless ALEX COOPER

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Grizzlies are winless two weeks into the regular season, but coach Darren Naylor likes the improvements the team has made over the course of it's first for games. "We're getting closer. Going from game one to game four there's big improvements," said Naylor following last weekend's games. "We're close. I made a couple more moves and as long as the players come in, that first win is around the corner." Revelstoke played twice last week, losing to the Kelowna Chiefs 6-2 at home on Friday, and falling 5-3 to the North Okanagan Knights in Armstrong on Saturday. Friday's game was a close affair through the first two periods, with Revelstoke outshooting their opponents 30-21 through two. Still, Kelowna took an early lead, with goals from Kevin Roth and Chase Astorino in the first period. Revelstoke had a chance to score with an extended 5-on-3 late in the period, but they were unable to muster any chances. The Grizzlies responded with goals

Dylan Jamieson scored twice in 90 seconds to make the score 4-2, and then Taylor McDowell and Ryan Baim cemented the win for the Chiefs with two goals in 13

from page 19 seconds with just over five minutes to go in the game. Naylor said a few key mistakes were the difference in game. "I thought we looked probably like we might have been a bit of the better team that game," he said. On Saturday, Revelstoke was in Armstrong to take on the North Okanagan Knights. The Knights jumped out to an early lead, with goals from Dennon Leibel and Logan Mostat 70 seconds apart. Kyler Wilkinson scored for the Grizzlies with 55 seconds left in the first period to make the score 2-1 after one. The Knights built on their lead in the second, getting goals from Bretty Hawrys and Mat Lambert to make it 4-1. Devon Hascarl lead the Grizzlies back into the game with a pair of goals later in the period, both assisted by Wilkinson. The third period was a scoreless affair until Tanner Burns scored an empty net goal with 10 seconds left for a 5-3 North Okanagan win. "Saturday was probably the best hockey game we played all year, a full 60-min-

utes," said Naylor. "It was just a great game, it could have gone either way." Naylor said he would be focusing on the power play this week. The Grizzlies went 1 for 19 on the power play over the weekend and gave up a short handed goal on Friday against Kelowna. On Friday, the power play generated featured good puck possession, but failed to generate many shots. "Five on five we're competing with every team," he said. "We just have to get that power play going." He said he had made some more moves, but did not reveal the names involved because the players had not been notified as of press time. He said the team was a "work in progress" due to the late recruitment point. "We're putting pieces in place," he said. "Things that are usually done in the off season, we're doing them in September." This weekend the Grizzlies play a home-and-home against the Sicamous Eagles, with Friday's game in Sicamous and Saturday's in Revelstoke. "They're going to be a hard working team," said Naylor. "If we get on track and win our inter-division games then we're going to be OK."

Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce president supports Union of British Columbia Municipality’s efforts to strengthen local government finances. He was referencing a centrepiece report from the UBCM convention in Vancouver last week. It was titled, Strong Fiscal Futures: A Blueprint for Strengthening BC Local Governments’ Finance Systems. “We are pleased with the announcement by UBCM as these issues have been of concern to our community. [The Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce board of directors] has requested that local government look seriously at the budgeting process and expenditures to find efficiencies to minimize tax increases and reduce the business tax ratio,” Bailey said. The authors of the report commissioned by the UBCM executive studied B.C. municipal finance issues and presented solutions to problems. Key issues are a tax system heavily reliant on property taxes that don’t grow with the economy, staggeringly expensive upgrades required by the

federal and provincial governments, and inadequate federal and provincial support for municipal governments during boom times. Bailey said the local chamber has been working with business and Revelstoke municipal government to reduce business property tax rates, get municipal costs under control and to foster economic development initiatives. Bailey’s comments echo those of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce. President and CEO John Winter said the report identified three key initiatives needed to improve local government finances: facilitating economic growth, the unsustainability of property taxes as a funding mechanism for local government and the need for more dialogue with business over property tax issues. “This report correctly identifies the very real opportunities local governments have to facilitate and catalyze local economic growth,” Winter said. “By actively encouraging economic activity, municipalities and regional districts can strengthen their finances, create strong businesses and grow jobs in communities throughout B.C.”

There were more than 100 people on hand for the freestyle and trials demonstrations on Saturday at the Glacier House Resort. The crowd ooh-ed and aah-ed as Riegan Sieg performed a series of spectacular tricks on a 75-foot jump he set up outside the hotel. He did various handstands, flying Supermantype manoeuvres, and – my favourite – a trick called the lazy boy (left) where he stretched out across his dirt bike while soaring through the sky. In between shows, there was a trials demonstration put on by “Outlaw” Dave Rhodes, who promotes trials riding through his business Outlaw Trialsport. He brought Stan Bakgaard, Barry Van As and Brandon Wince with him to put on a show. Wince (pictured), one of the top ranked trials riders on Canada, made it look easy as he made his way over the assortment or logs, truck tires, and a mini-van. It was Sieg who was the big star, as he signed autographs afterwards and kids lined up to give him five. Chris Pawlitsky, the president of the Revy Riders, said the weekend events were a big success, with lots of people coming out for the rides on Saturday and Sunday. “We had some amazing reviews,” he said. “People were calling it the best riding in Canada, the best riding in the world. We got lots of compliments.” Rhodes said he is working on holding a big trials event in Revelstoke in the spring. He called the weekend “unreal.” “The future is bright for the club and for Revelstoke,” he said. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Flying high at Revy Riders fest

notification of project to protect airport outflow wetland BC Hydro would like to advise the public of a planned project to place rip-rap on a Columbia River erosion channel bank downstream of the mouth of the Illecillewaet River in an effort to protect the Airport Slough wetland on the Arrow Lakes Reservoir flats below Nichol Road. The work will start when reservoir levels are suitable, likely in late September or October 2013. The rip-rap placement is expected to take about three weeks. We ask that recreational users of the area be mindful that heavy equipment will be working in the area. Machinery will access the site from the road on the south side of the Illecillewaet River past the Selkirk Saddle Club. Traffic control measures will be in place as needed to protect public safety. Columbia River flows, snowmelt, and reservoir operations continue to enlarge a 115 metre long Y-shaped erosion channel into the flats adjacent to the old Arrowhead highway that runs from the south side of the Illecillewaet River mouth to Machete Island north of the Revelstoke airport. The intent of this project is to see whether the rip-rap can prevent the channel from continuing to move towards the existing Airport Slough wetland. The project was recommended by a consultative committee with local representation that evaluated a number of potential wildlife enhancement projects identified by the Columbia River Water Use Plan and is expected
