Peter Mueller wins Lotto 6/49 jackpot Alex Cooper

Peter Mueller is a quiet, soft-spoken, retired chef who has spent his life unmarried. After winning Wednesday's $20 million Lotto 6/49 jackpot, he's just become Revelstoke's most eligible bachelor. Mueller, 68, purchased the only winning ticket in Canada, meaning the $20,223,182 jackpot is all his, the BC Lottery Corporation announced in a news release Friday. "I was surprised," Mueller told the Times Review in an interview Friday. "It's a good-looking number." Mueller was at the BCLC office in Kamloops to collect his winnings and speak to the press on Friday afternoon. He bought the ticket at lottery retailer Malone's on Mackenzie Avenue in downtown Revelstoke. "I have always hoped to win but never though it would happen to me," he said. "I have seen people win on the news before, so I knew it was possible." Mueller was in Vernon for an oil change when he heard on the radio that the winning ticket had been purchased in Revelstoke. He went straight to the Village Green Mall to have his ticket checked. "The clerk thought I was joking until she had seen the numbers for herself!” Mueller said. “She validated the ticket and confirmed the win before she could believe her eyes.” Mueller, who is originally from Switzerland, was the head chef at the 112 Restaurant for 30 years until his retirement five years ago. He now spends his days golfing, swimming and riding his bike when he can. Mueller said he will be consulting a financial advisor before deciding how to spend his prize. First, he's going to take a trip to Mexico to go golfing and swimming. "I can't think that big," he replied when asked what to do with his money. "You have to let it sink in a few days and then I'm sure I'll come up with a few ideas." Mueller was never married and has no children, and his family is in Switzerland. He said he has been a longtime lotto player and, while he’s had a few small wins in the past, they can’t quite compare to taking home the whole pot. “I’ve got it half back now, all the money I put in,” he joked. Brady Beruschi, who worked with Mueller at the Regent for 20 years, said Mueller was "a great guy all around." "We loved working with him," said Beruschi. "Every Christmas he's been with our family for dinner. "He's a pretty solo guy but he's got a great heart and he's been religiously playing the 6/49 for as long as I can remember." The last multi-million dollar Lotto 6/49 jackpot win in B.C. was in August, when a Burnaby resident took home $3.2 million. Merritt’s Mitchell Shuter also racked up a big win in 2013, taking home just over $11 million in February. With files from Kamloops This Week

Revelstoke water metering report presents clear option: district metering New report explores different water metering options, finding putting a meter on every home and business would be too costly and less effective than a ‘district’ system focused on finding and fixing underground leaks that account for half of treated water loss AARON ORLANDO

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The third and final in a series of drinking water reports prepared for the City of Revelstoke says “district metering” is the most effective option for reducing water consumption through metering, and is the only option that will not haemorrhage taxpayer dollars. The so-called ‘Veritec’ report is named after the consulting company that authored it. It is currently proceeding through city committee consultation and will be discussed at a Revelstoke City Council meeting soon. The report says that district metering would save more water than universal metering. It estimates that district metering would save 302 megalitres of water per year, while universal metering would save 234 megalitres. The report also presents a third option – ICI metering, which stands for industrial, commercial and institutional metering. The concept is to place meters on businesses and commercial users’ facilities. Throughout the report, the concept comes in a distant third; it is relatively expensive and would only save 18 megalitres of water annually – way behind the frontrunner options. District metering means, basically, metering and testing the main arteries of the water distribution system to determine where water loss is occurring, then pointing to effective replacement projects to reduce water loss. It can be as simple as finding a major leak and digging down to patch it up. Universal metering means putting a water meter on every home, business, commercial and industrial property, then charging for

water use by volume. The idea is that charging people for water will motivate water conservation. The Veritec report points to a key concept: the fact that an estimated 51 per cent of treated water in Revelstoke is lost between the treatment plant and the end-user’s hookup. It leaks away into the ground through old, broken pipes and faulty connections. The existing instruments to measure water flow are not precise, meaning the margin of error is 27 per cent, so water loss could actually range between about 24 per cent and 78 per cent. The report finds that targeting this water loss is a more effective investment than seeking gains through individual conservation via home meters. The Veritec report says water conservation should be done on a ‘triple bottom line’ basis, considering the financial impact to residents, the environmental impact of leaking chlorinated water into the ground and the social, health impact of possible water contamination through leaky underground pipes. The Veritec report shows district metering as the clear winner from a financial standpoint. The report breaks down and compares lifecycle costs of the various programs over a 16-year period. The final dollar figure balances financial savings on things like reduced chemical treatment and water filter costs with the cost of implementing the metering system. Universal metering is the most expensive. Depending on the type of meter used on the home (radio meter, manual meter, smart meter) the costs range from $1,379,053 to $1,922,990. The second most expensive option is ICI metering. Depend-

This chart compares the cost of the three main water metering systems over a 16-year lifecycle. The universal metering system is the most expensive, as shown in the first four options above, which vary in cost based on the type of meter used. The ‘Veritec’ report showed the ICI, or ‘industrial, commercial and institutional’ system wouldn’t lead to significant water loss improvements. The final option – district metering – was the only option that would save money over the lifecycle, according to the report. City of Revelstoke image

ing on the type of meter used (radio meter, manual meter, smart meter) the cost over 15 years is estimated to range from $515,633 to $600,772. According to the report, the district metering system was the only option that will actually save the city money. It calculates the city will save $6,242 over 15 years if they go with the district metering option. So, what is the up-front cost for the district metering system? According to the report, if the city started next year, it would cost $238,300 over the first two years, but that doesn’t include the cost of leak repairs. The district metering concept tries to find exactly where

unlikely. Raven said council will face a tight budget cycle this year. He said parsing the recommendations for bite-sized budget items is more likely. “Each one of these programs has to be evaluated on their initial costs,” Raven said. “The totality of the the whole thing is probably beyond what we have.” Raven added: “It’ll be the lowhanging fruits as most efficiently as we can, but we just don’t have the money for the entire program,” Raven said.

the leaks are happening using a variety of technologies including meter verification, night flow analysis, step testing, acoustic monitoring tools and pressure management assessment. Once pinpointed, crews can dig and make the repairs. Although district metering appears to be the frontrunner, it’s now up to city council to decide what to do with the report. They could move forward with the recommendations right away, but that would require budgeting-in the up-front costs. Council could proceed with parts of the strategy, or defer the work to future years. Mayor David Raven said moving forward with the entire district metering system next year is

Some people who get headaches may get more frequent headaches due to the pain relievers they are taking. This condition is called medication overuse headache. The theory is that pain sensation is reset and there is a rebound effect between doses. The way to stop this is to wean yourself off the drug slowly over a few months. It can be difficult but ironically can result in fewer headaches.

Revelstoke Highway Rescue was nominated for a road rescue award by Emergency Management BC, announced Revelstoke Fire Rescue Services in a news release. “This is such an amazing award and recognition for our firefighters in relation to the very important life saving 'Jaws of Life' vehicle extrication work they perform on our local highways," said Fire Chief Rob Girard. "We are all very proud of each and every one of them." Emergency Management BC nominates volunteers across the province in five categories: Emergency Social Service, Search & Rescue, Emergency Radio Communications, Road

Rescue, and PEP Air. Revelstoke Highway Rescue was nominated as a group. “This is truly a great recognition for a great group," said Mayor David Raven. "It really shows how valued and appreciated they are.” The awards will be handed out at a ceremony in Victoria in November. Firefighters Steve Olsson and Dan Sculnick will represent Revelstoke Highway Rescue at the award ceremony. “This is truly an amazing recognition for our firefighters," said firefighter Brad Faucett, President of Revelstoke Fire Rescue Society. “They have been, and continue to be, a very dedicated group who are there to help the motoring public in crisis.”

Residents of the Monashee Court housing complex on Third Street West were forced to evacuate on Sunday afternoon after an electrical fire broke out in a third-floor unit. Residents gathered on the front lawn as firefighters guided out a couple of elderly residents who were stranded on their balconies in units near the fire. Little smoke was visible. Firefighters then cleared smoke from the building using large fans. An official report from Revelstoke Fire Rescue Services was not available by press time, but eyewitnesses said the incident started in a baseboard heater. According to witnesses at the scene, there were no injuries in the incident. Emergency Social Services was called in to assist any residents displaced by the fire.

City of Revelstoke adds administration, communication position Lyle Huntley named new Director of Corporate Administration and Communication Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The City of Revelstoke has hired a new senior administrator, taking on Lyle Huntley as the new Director of Corporate Administration and Communication. The new position was outlined in a restructuring agenda put forward to council by city CAO Tim Palmer earlier this year. Huntley told the Times Review he has worked in civic administration his entire life, serving for 20 years in Ontario before relocating to Kamloops in 2006 to work at the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, where he was employed in administration. The Kamloops Daily News reports Huntley left the TNRD in late 2011 in a dispute involving senior administrators, and was remunerated $53,000 in severance. Since then, Huntley has been self-employed as a local govern-

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has reached out to U.S. states and the domestic clean energy industry in an effort to keep its greenhouse gas reduction goals in sight. Energy Minister Bill Bennett hopes to have details out by the end of the year for a “modest” clean

energy program he promised to private power developers at a conference in Vancouver this week. With BC Hydro projecting an electricity surplus in the near future, there won’t be another clean power call any time soon for run-of-river, wind and other producers, Bennett said in an interview.

to.” Most of Huntley’s duties were being performed by the CAO, and other administrative staff. The standalone communication portfolio is new to the city. Huntley said he is in the process of developing a communications strategy. He said the goal is to improve many facets of communication. That includes between the city and residents, between staff and council and between the city and stakeholder groups. He will also be responsible for communications with other levels of government, from the school board to provincial government. Huntley said he will troubleshoot communication problems, be the communication lead during crisis situations, and will help with communication problems. He will develop strategies for communicating city objectives. For example, he will produce

campaigns for water conservation or snow removal compliance, including things like pamphlets and social media messaging. He will also review the city’s website. “Does it need to be updated and refreshed?” he asked. “Is it the information that people actually want to access?” Huntley studied economics and computing and said he’s pro-technology in his approach to communications. He will seek to re-engage residents following a noticeable dropoff in public participation in planning processes in the past few years. The plan is, “to engage them at the right time ... with the right information.” Huntley is relocating to Revelstoke with his wife Marge. He enjoys hiking and golf, and said they are looking forward to the small-town lifestyle in Revelstoke. “It’s just the pace of the community, really,” he said.

California has launched its own cap-and-trade system for carbon emissions, and B.C. continues to administer a carbon tax on fossil fuels imposed in 2006. B.C.

Kitzhaber said more than 500,000 people on the North American west

coast now work in green economy jobs, and the region will lead the way in the future. “We are here to reject the myth that jobs and the environment are in conflict,” he said. Meanwhile, B.C. continues its central effort, to develop liquefied natural gas exports to Asia. The province has exempted greenhouse gas emissions used to process and export LNG, arguing that it will displace coal in China and other countries with a less emission-intensive fuel.

Residents’ participation in Columbia River Treaty is encouraging

MLA REPORT

BY NORM MACDONALD As you know, the role of an opposition MLA focusses on pointing out the failures of government and offering an alternative course of action that would better meet the needs of the people of British Columbia. And often, my MLA reports do just that. Two years ago, I raised concerns about our preparedness for the potential renegotiation of the Columbia River Treaty; 2014 being the first opportunity for either side to indicate a desire to reopen negotiations. There was a strong sense amongst MLAs from the Kootenays that we were not as

prepared as a province and a region as we needed to be. As representatives of this area, we asked government to make a number of specific commitments that would improve our readiness should a renegotiation of the treaty be required. We asked government to develop a framework that would include authentic consultation with Columbia Basin communities, significant government resources towards preparation for negotiations, and a commitment to ensure that the specific interests of the basin region would be fully considered in preparing a negotiating position. Based on these requests from MLAs and other area elected representatives, significant action has been taken. The Columbia Basin Trust took the lead in providing information to basin residents to aid consultation, a committee of local government representatives was formed specifically to consult with basin residents, and the provincial government brought ministry resources to bear on having discussions

with communities about our priorities. Information concerning the Columbia Basin Treaty has been shared with communities and their feedback has been collected by government. The recommendations the ministry is taking to Cabinet can be found at http:// blog.gov.bc.ca/columbiarivertreaty, then click on ‘Columbia River Treaty Draft BC Recommendation.’ There is still much that needs to be done. There are a number of problems arising from direct impacts of the original treaty and the subsequent operations of the system that still need to be addressed. But participating in this process over the last two years has been encouraging, and I will continue to work with government to ensure that the issues that have been highlighted will receive the attention they need. *** Norm Macdonald is the MLA Columbia River—Revelstoke

Helpful ‘stokians made breakdown a breeze Editor, I would like to relate my thanks and admiration to some particular people and businesses in the town of Revelstoke. First a bit of background on why I feel this way. Recently my daughter and I were travelling to Calgary where she is to finish some schooling. Around Sicamous we had an electrical issue with our vehicle but kept travelling to Revelstoke. We pulled into the Super 8 parking lot, the engine died. Through the help of two young men and a father that lived nearby, we confirmed it was the alterna-

tor. They offered to install the alternator if we could get one. We phoned Lordco who said they could get one in the next day from Kelowna. We were close to being on schedule, just not on budget! The next morning we walked to the Jacobson Ford dealership to inquire about install as it was confirmed the job was to be a testy one. They had no room that day but room the next. They agreed to let us move our vehicle to their lot and inside for the night. Around 9 a.m., Lordco phoned to inform us the alternator was in! Wow, what great service! With part in hand and new battery

installed we quickly drove to the dealership to leave car for the night. At 1:30 p.m. the next day, Dave from Ford phoned to say the job was done and we could get back on the road! So from the heart I would like to thank all involved in their assistance and attempts to aid us. There is definitely some good people in Revelstoke and we could not have broke down in a better place. Frank and Lane Kovich, Nanaimo.

Revelstoke tops Nelson in Ski Town Throwdown thriller Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

If it were a hockey game, it would be considered a classic. Two rival communities, going head-tohead, battling it out all day, with the result only being decided in the waning minutes. Revelstoke beat out Nelson/ Whitewater in the second round of Powder Magazine's Ski Town Throwdown, edging the Queen City 1,527 to 1,507 in Facebook voting. "To get that kudos heading into the season is really cool, and to be able to carry that flag, winning against last year's winner, is speaking volumes for the way – quoteunquote – the world is looking at Revelstoke," said Ashley Tait, the director of marketing for Revelstoke Mountain Resort. "It's a great start to the ski season." Whitewater won last year's inaugural Ski Town Throwdown when it was partnered with Rossland's Red Mountain. This year, Powder Magazine expanded the contest to 64 resorts, and split up the two West Kootenay ski areas. Revelstoke went into the contest ranked first overall, and easily beat out Cypress Mountain in the first round. For round two, all the stops were pulled. The contest was announced

at the high school, mentions were made in the local media, and it was shared all over Facebook. Nelsonites put on a similar push as they attempted to defend their title. Throughout the day the vote went back and forth, with Whitewater taking the early lead, only to see Revelstoke recover. They remained neck-and-neck, with Whitewater pulling ahead late in the day, only to see Revelstoke pull off a late comeback comeback for the 20-vote win. Tait said winning the Powder Magazine competition would provide a "cool factor" and also generate tourism benefits for the resort and the community. "Definitely, there's a bit of ego involved, not just for Revelstoke Mountain Resort but for the town as well," said Tait. "I think it's a good thing to differentiate it's not just RMR, it's for the town of Revelstoke. I think that differentiates us from other competitors in B.C. for ski resorts, because we are a ski community, we're a ski town. "When we're selling and marketing Revelstoke as a destination, we're always talking about our community that's here." While some may wonder about getting caught up in the hype for a Facebook contest that serves as a promotional vehicle for Powder Magazine and contest sponsor Lift-

opia, in Nelson, winning last year's Throwdown did provide dividends. “Last year was a huge community effort, and thousands of hours were put into winning that competition. We can ride on the coat tails of Best Ski Town in North America title for a long while and reap economic stimulus from it," said

Dianna Ducs, the executive director of Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism. “Our exposure from the Powder Magazine contest showed an increase in media attention and accommodation sales last winter and this year we are anticipating a similar increase." Revelstoke will be up against

either Banff/Lake Louise or Panorama in the third round on Nov. 11–12. "Getting the word out there and getting everyone psyched on the community of Revelstoke is a great way to get into winter mode," said Tait. 2.8” x 3”from the Nelson Star. With files

A brilliant fall season in Trout Lake

Trout Lake Tracker by Linda Wall

What a brilliant summer and fall it was at Trout Lake! The campground was packed during the season, many locals and visitors enjoyed venturing out on the water and into the mountains – and the weather, well, it was downright, fabulous. Say goodbye to lolling around on the beach – it’s time to take in our Trout Lake days of fall… The annual Trout Lake Community Club (TLCC) Garage and Bake Sale kicked off the August long weekend at the community hall. The two-day fundraiser was another tremendous success, bringing in over $1,000. A large volume of merchandise donated to the sale moved quickly, and there was a usual frenzy for local baked goods on both mornings.

sang along and enjoyed the evening as a flurry of eager, aspiring vocalists took centre stage. Alex Schmitt brought the crowd to their feet with his rendition of Sweet Caroline, while Peter Kearns paired with Mike Jones to belt out Rockin’ in the Free World. Cathie Kearns took home a repeat 50/50 draw prize. Many thanks to Keith and Krys for organizing the fun event! The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) held an open house to present the proposed zoning bylaws for Area B. Approximately 20 residents from Trout Lake and surrounding communities attended the August meeting. Loni Parker, Area B Director and Jan Thingsted, Planner, Development Services, along with stu-

dent assistants, Erica Hartling and Taylor Jenks were on hand to answer questions after the presentation. The TLCC held an extraordinary general meeting on Oct. 12. A short agenda was presented to the 19 members who attended. President Carrol Christiansen chaired the meeting and opened discussion to the membership regarding some key projects. One plan is construction of the back porch roof at the community hall. The membership has agreed to proceed with the project which will also entail some minor upgrades to the front entrance for safety and stability. At the dock and day beach area, some concerns have been raised about public safety. The club will be looking into new signage to try to discourage speeders and overnight campers, and to make everyone aware of bears in the area. It was also suggested that bear aware signs be posted at the campground. Trout Lake BC Internet Society (TLBCIS) held their annual meeting on Oct. 12. The brief meeting was chaired by president, John Wall. John presented the society’s financial status and reported on the upgrade and maintenance work done over the summer at the two mountain repeater stations. He also commented on future objectives to explore increasing the service bandwidth and customer base. There are currently over 70 active subscribers to the Internet service. Cheers! *** Linda Wall’s Trout Lake Tracker is a quarterly column about the life and times of the tiny hamlet of Trout Lake, B.C., located south of Revelstoke.

He was in Revelstoke recently as the opening act with Aussie hip hop sensations Bliss n Eso, and now he’s coming back to promote his new album Howl. “This Howl album is something I have been working on for nine months.

I went through a bad breakup and wrote lots of songs about dealing with the music industry and it is a more personal record for sure,” he told the Penticton Western News. “I am the most confident as an artist and writer as I have ever felt and I am curious to see what the reaction will be because it is the best stuff I have done so far. I have been improving my singing and stepping outside my comfort zone.” Catch him with DJ Factor and Toxsic at the Traverse this Saturday, Nov. 9, at 10 p.m. Evil Ebenezer photo

Enma Perez-Defranc learned of the Revelstoke Habitat for Humanity project at the recruitment booth at the Revelstoke Rod & Gun Club banquet earlier this year. We met for an interview standing at the Home for the Hunts construction project on Sixth Street East. We’re standing amid the offcuts of construction debris, next to the framed-up home. Two volunteer construction workers are unloading a Black Tie Properties bobcat. They’re stained in purple from coloured spray foam insulation. A volunteer loans me a hardhat. For the new Revelstoke resident, the Home for the Hunts project was a natural fit. Back in her native Ecuador, Perez-Defranc volunteered with TECHO, a Latin Americabased youth organization that builds traditional housing for impoverished people and helps engineer social inclusion programs around the housing projects. Volunteering for TECHO arose from her professional training as a design architect; she graduated from the Universidad de Especialidades Espiritu Santo in Guayaquil, Ecuador. “As an architect, we are part of the society and we have to create a better society,” Perez-Defranc explains. For two years in Ecuador, she helped build very small homes, and helped implement micro-economic programs, such as market-based agriculture, or skills programs. The goal was to provide a hand up for the extremely impoverished. “I learned a lot as a human being

because giving is the best gift that a human has,” Perez-Defranc said. “For me, it was a great experience. It made me grow up as a human.” She came to Revelstoke to be with a partner. Her plan is to go back to school so she can transfer her credentials as a professional architect and work here. She’s inspired by the works of rock-star Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid and Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. For now, she works as a cashier at Your Dollar Store With More and builds her plans. As she moves forward, PerezDefranc is guided by her past volunteer experience, and her continuing volunteer work here. It’s about connecting with the community, being a part of it, and finding joy there. “[It’s] the love that the people bring here. They do it unselfishly. A lot of people have their own business and they come here for free and lose a day,” she noted. If you’re interested in experiencing the spirit of giving back, the Home for the Hunts project is still seeking volunteers to work on the site. Build days are Friday and Saturday. Organizer Cindy Pearce encourages anyone interested to check out the project website at homeforthehunts.com. Financial donations are still being accepted and will help get the new home completed this year. The Home for the Hunts project is building a new, accessible home for the Hunt family to assist mom Pauline Hunt, who has ALS, a progressive and debilitating illness.

Former Revelstokian pens her memoir Alli Graham, notorious letter writer, publishes Life is what happens

ALEX COOPER

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

When I was first told that former Revelstoke resident Alli Miriam (Luoma) Graham had penned her memoirs, I wondered – what made this woman’s life so interesting that she felt the need to write a book about them. But then people started telling me that I had to speak to her and that any long-time Revelstokian would remember her for her letters to the editor that regularly appeared in the newspaper, her opinionated news columns she used to write for the News Herald, and her civic activism. “I was a notorious bitch letter writer,” Graham, now 89, told me on the phone last week. Graham was born in Chase, B.C., in 1924, the youngest of three girls. She had three brothers as well, but they all died very young. Her family moved to a homestead when she was three and she grew up on the farm, dropping out of school after grade eight. She was raised doing tough, boys jobs. “I think I was the boy that my father never was able to raise,” she said. “I think from my very early years I was doing boy’s chores, so I think that’s where it all started from when they saw I was capable of doing those jobs.”

Her early years took her around the Eagle Valley, from her family’s homestead to Salmon Arm, where she worked packing apples; to Tranquille, where she worked for a winter. Along the way she did may jobs that were considered men’s work, such as skidding firewood and cleaning chimneys. She attributes that to the way she was raised. “I used to skid firewood every winter on my parents’ farm,” she said. “I even skidded firewood for the Japanese internment camp when it was open at Yard Creek during the war years.” In March 1952, to Revelstoke, where she got a job as a nurse at the old Queen Victoria Hospital. After a few months there she got a new job as a housekeeper for Floyd Graham, a divorced railroader with three children. “I became a sort of surrogate mother and wound up marrying the man,” she said. “We eventually had two more children, so I wound up raising five children.” Graham’s time in Revelstoke was marked by a propensity for stirring up trouble. One of her early campaigns was with Marlene McQuarrie on behalf of citizens of the Farwell neighbourhood, who weren’t happy about paying the same taxes as people uptown, for less services. “We were being charged the

same as people uptown who had sidewalks, paved streets and finished homes. We were just completing our houses. We had a gravel road, it wasn’t a street, there were no sidewalks, and none of the amenities of uptown,” she said. “We started a door-todoor quest to find out how other people in our area felt and there were lots of others in similar situations.” They started a petition that they brought to city hall, where they found out there had been no tax revision in years. “The long and the short of it was we won, so that was one of our crusades,” she said. Another of her protests was about putting fluoride in Revelstoke’s water. “We balked at that because at the time Revelstoke drinking water was the purest in the province,” she said. “We created so much adverse publicity about that that it never came.” Graham would become known for her letters she would write to the now-defunct Revelstoke Herald in response to articles by editor Clay Stacey. “We weren’t always on the same page, so I was very much surprised when he approached me one day and asked me to write a weekly column for him,” she said. “He said,

Havok Way returns with rock opera Of Harlots and Harlequins marks culmination of years of work, and an introduction to the rest of the world for local alternative rock band Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

It’s a bold move for any band to create a rock opera. It’s an especially bold move when you’re a pretty-much unknown band from a small town. Revelstoke band Havok Way have created a rock opera, and they’re hoping their boldness will lead the way to becoming a working band. “We had this realization we wanted to grow the band and do something different,” Strathon Bajowksy, the band’s lead singer and guitarist, told me over coffee. “Our old show was just a collection of songs and we wanted to focus on something bigger than that.” In 2009, the band toured across Canada, experiencing many of the usual trials and tribulations small band’s go through on the road. They played at inappropriate venues and their van broke down, but they also had some successful shows and sold a bunch of CDs. Upon returning to Revelstoke, they had a band meeting and decided to try a new focus – something that would get them noticed amongst the seemingly infinite bands that are all striving for the attention of a finite audience. “We were really seeking to do something different and we wanted to do something we felt would be great,” said Bajowsky. That something was a concept Bajowsky had been thinking of – creating a rock opera called Of Harlots and Harlequins, which will be performed for the first time at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre this Saturday, Nov. 9.

After the 2009 tour, the band holed up in their practice space. They saved up money at their day jobs ($10,000 each, Bajowksy said), bought their own PA system and lighting equipment, and set about creating the story and music for their show. “It’s heavily inspired by Tim Burton and his works. What I like about his work is he takes dark subject matters and makes them fun,” said Bajowksy. Bajowsky plays the role of the hero and the anti-hero. Bassist Katrina Thompson plays the love interest and drummer James Kincaid also plays a character. The basic story, explained Bajowsky, is that it’s about the hero’s struggle to live in a world that has been made in the image of the anti-hero. “The underlying thing is there’s this hero that’s struggling against this evil that’s working against him,” he said, adding that they’ve also developed a great deal of back story and lore that could end up forming an even bigger production one day. Havok Way describes themselves most basically as an alternative rock band. For their rock opera, they had to branch out, writing in different styles depending on what the performance required. Different songs throughout the play are in the voice of the various characters, so a song about the anti-hero is darker, while the hero’s songs are more anthemic. “We do jump genres quite often but it’s all under the banner of the story and it all has a purpose. When we’re playing in a certain style, there’s a reason,” said Bajowsky. “When a song sounds dark and moody, it’s sup-

posed to be.” Bajowksy wrote the lyrics to the songs with the story in mind. They also added pre-recorded orchestral elements that will come in during the show to complement their sound. Last year, Havok Way played their first show in several years at the community centre. The show was a test run for Of Harlots and Harlequins and Bajowsky said the reception was great. They have spent the past year refining and perfecting the show. They will be spending two days video taping the show for a DVD that they will send out to fans and people in the music industry. The hope is that it will wind up in the hands of someone who will be suitably impressed to take Havok Way under their wings and help them develop as a band.

About 100 Begbie View Elementary students took part in a drum workshop led by Afro-Brazilian drummer Milton Randall on Tuesday. The students spent two hours practicing in the gym before their parents and the rest of the school were allowed in. The result was a throbbing, pulsing drum orchestra that ended with multiple conga lines of students, staff and parents snaking their way around the gym. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

AHE haunted house

The haunted house at Arrow Heights Elementary last Tuesday, Oct. 29, was full of eerie scenes, with students creepily wandering about, hiding under tables, inside jail cells and chained to the walls. I honestly jumped a little when one kid grabbed my leg from out under a table. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review.

Emma Kirkland was named the Business Person of the Year for the second time, and the Nomad Food Co. was named Business of the Year at the 20th annual Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards on Saturday. The annual gala saw Revelstoke business people get dressed up for a banquet, award ceremony and dancing at the community centre. La Baguette catered the sold-out dinner, the Bob Rogers Quartet provided the music, and Alan Laidlaw DJed afterwards. The bidding on the long line of silent auction items was fierce. Here are the award winners in the order they were announced. Employee of the Year: Angela Thompson of the Best Western "It's just a pleasure working in Revelstoke. I'm born and raised here. I'm very proud to be a Revelstokian," she said. "I'm just proud

of everything that I do for Revelstoke. If you explain to [tourists] with enthusiasm what there is to do in Revelstoke, they'll take you up on all the offers that you give them." Food Service Excellence: Paramjit's Kitchen "It's made with love," said owner and chef Goldie Sanghera. "I really like to cook and I really like people. I really enjoy what I do." Accommodations Excellence: Swiss Chalet Motel (Not in attendance) Industrial & Manufacturing Excellence: Kyle Buhler Cabinetry "It's been tough but I think it also helps being a local business who's from here," said Buhler. "My dad's a carpenter, and having support from my mum too. I went to college and it didn't pan out, but the trades have worked out well." Retail & Service Excellence: Grizzly Book & Serendipity Shop "Service and being very responsible and reliable to the locals,

because they are in essence our biggest attribute," said owner Vanessa Smith when asked the key to running a successful store in Revelstoke. "We give great service to not only the tourists, but we rely on the locals and we give great, great service. I'm overwhelmed." Tourism & Attractions Excellence: Sky Trek Adventure Park (Not in attendance) Youth Employer: The Modern Bakeshop & Cafe Why do you focus on hiring youth? "Because teenagers rock," replied owners Josee Zimanyi and Kevan McCroy. "They have a great work ethic. We have amazing teenagers, that's why we do it." Entrepreneurial Excellence: Beau Miller of Beau's Hot Yoga "If you're passionate about it, just do it," she replied when asked what advice she had for other entrepreneurs. "Jump in, take the chance and believe in yourself." Best New or Renovated Building Design: Nu-Trend Construc-

tion (for the skinny house) "Building a house is probably the biggest economic booster in Canada," said winner Peter Bernacki. "It's such a great booster that we got to continue building, and that will get Revelstoke going too. It's a great off-spin for our tax base an so on. It puts so many people to work." Home Based Business Excellence: Diva Den Day Spa "It was certainly a struggle, but I just wanted to do what I wanted to do. I just have a zest for life, and a zest for excellent services," said Lindsay Kusy. "I'm fortunate, being born and raise in Revelstoke. I have solid roots here. My parents grew up here. It was a no-brainer to establish roots here as well. Already being well established with the community and providing excellent services for family and friends." People's Choice Award: McDonald's "We take a lot of pride in everything that we do and meet the needs

of customers," said owner Kathy Blakely. "Obviously we're on the right track." Community Support Excellence: Roberta Bobicki of the Revelstoke Credit Union "Part of our logo is community partners, so it's nice to see when the community recognizes that effort we put forward for community support," said Bobicki. "That's one of the most important things we do as a not-for-profit organization." Business of the Year: The Nomad Food Co. (Not in attendance) Business Person of the Year: Emma Kirkland, Powder Springs/The Last Drop "This award is totally unexpected tonight," said Kirkland in her acceptance speech. "Thank you very much everybody. Revelstoke has been my home now for five years. Every single day the community makes it worthwhile, so thank you."

Life is what happens from page 10 ‘Alli, the more controversial, the better.’” One of her columns, about the scouts being kicked out of their drill hall by the city, had her threat-

October 2013 was one of the driest on records in Revelstoke – but it didn't quite crack the top three. According to Environment Canada, only 16.5 mm of rain fell in Revelstoke last month – 20 per cent of the 80 mm average. It was the driest October since 2002, when only 12 mm of rain fell. The driest October ever was more than 100 years ago, in 1911, when 11.7 mm on rain fell on the town. There was only measurable rainfall on seven days last month, and there was a 16 day stretch where it didn't rain at all. If not for October 27, when it rained 7.1 mm, it would have been the driest on record. "What happened is the flow pattern was so far north that systems were being carried through the Yukon and not down in B.C. like they normally are," said meteorologist Doug Lundquist. He also said timing was a factor – September was rainy and November is off to a wet start so far.

We were heartened recently upon hearing Canadian veterans of the Korean War were finally to be recognized with their own day of remembrance. The Year of the Korean War Veteran was proclaimed by the federal government in January of this year, to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the armistice signed in 1953. But the enactment of a special day, July 27, to be marked in perpetuity to honour the sacrifices and efforts of Cana-

dian soldiers, sailors and air force personnel, has more long-term significance. In all, 516 Canadians died and another 1,558 were wounded in the three-year conflict, a battle between the Soviet and China-supported north, and the south Koreans, supported by the United Nations, some of the member countries of which waged war against the Nazis just a handful of years previous. Stories retold by local Korea vets of surviving family members receiving little in the way of acknowledgement of

their sons and daughters’ sacrifices from the Canadian government were both shocking and embarrassing. Media of the day largely ignored the conflict, to the point where many Canadians back home didn’t realize their country was playing a combat role in the war-torn region. Luckily, things have changed in 50 years, including the treatment of veterans and the value we place on their role in maintaining peace and reducing chaos in the world. Most wars in which Canada has been involved have aimed

to achieve a political end for the greater good. The people on the front lines working to accomplish that aim – some of whom paid the ultimate price – deserve to be recognized for their efforts, which in the vast majority of cases are honest, true and patriotic. Regardless how one feels about war, the Canadians who have fought them have, at the end of the day, worked to protect the rights and freedoms we should never take for granted. For that, they deserve our thanks.

The cadet corps has taken on the roll of providing a honour guard at the cenotaph, a bugler, as well as the parade commander. The Cadet Corps also provides a cadet to escort the representative of the Mothers of Revelstoke to help lay a wreath during the Ceremony. Look forward to continuing our role in the community for many years to come.

Keep faith by keeping the memory of those who sacrificed On November 11, we will gather to honour those who sacrificed themselves to safeguard our freedoms and our rights. The years have passed since Canada was involved in a major war but there are still those who have served far from home, and to them, we give our thanks. I remember a veteran speaking to a school some years ago. As a survivor of the

Remembrance Day message by Norm Macdonald

TIMESReview n WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2013 n 21

Second World War, he committed, over the course of his remaining years, to keep faith with those who did not return. He did this by keeping the memory of those who gave up their lives and by making sure future generations understand that their freedom and their prosperity was earned through the lives of the people he knew as friends and comrades.

The continuing large turnouts to Remembrance Day ceremonies across the country speaks to the fact that Canadians remember and honour our veterans and their families. Let it not be just on Remembrance Day, but throughout the year, both in our words and in our actions. Norm Macdonald is the MLA for Columbia River– Revelstoke.

Sr. boys soccer team knocked out at Valleys

FREE FLU CLINICS

Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Secondary School senior boys soccer team was swept out of the Okanagan Valley championships after taking the long road to get there. The boys had a hectic week last week, first taking on Kalamalka Secondary on Monday, Oct 28, for the North Zone title and an automatic berth in the Valleys. RSS came up short, falling 3-1, and forcing them into a wildcard match against Westsyde in Kamloops on Wednesday. There they pulled off a 4-3 win for a spot in the Valleys, which started on Friday in Kelowna. At the Valleys, the boys received a tough draw. They opened against powerhouse Okanagan Mission school – the defending provincial champions who haven’t lost a game in two years. RSS was thrashed, falling 6-0. They then had 30 minutes to rest before playing Valleyview Secondary. The tired squad lost 4-1 and found themselves eliminated from the tournament and a chance for a trip to the provincial championships. Coach Rob Evans attributed the loss to fatigue, noting the fact the team play four games in five days, with lots of travel and a tough schedule.

Obituaries

In loving memory of Joan Frances Segur (nee Cutler)

Born: January 29, 1932 Passed: October 23, 2013 Wife of Ramsay (Don) Segur for 60 years (predeceased in 2012), Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Artist, and Friend to many. Joan was born in Vernon to Cecil and May Cutler and was raised in Revelstoke. From an early age, Joan was passionate with drawing and was the artist for her high school year books. At the age of 16, she met Ramsay (Don), the love of her life. After a year of teaching school in Lumby she married Don in July of 1952. Joan taught an additional year in Revelstoke before starting her family. Her true calling was raising a family, being a Mom. The family moved to Nelson in 1958 and later built a home, on Nasookin Road, which was their paradise. Joan was an accomplished artist, primarily working in water colour portraits, landscapes and flowers. She created the cover and art work for many Nelson Maple Leaf and Minor Hockey programs. She displayed her works in various Art Walks and exhibitions. Joan’s other passions were knitting, sewing, gardening, cooking (frequently inviting guests for Sunday dinners), and being a doting wife. Joan and Don were avid supporters of the New Democratic Party. Once all their children had left home, Joan and Don enjoyed traveling to exotic destinations. Joan was very determined and at the age of 70 she decided to become internet savvy in order to communicate and also to digitize her artwork for family and friends. She researched her family history on line and created albums for all her children. Joan will be missed by her children, Trudy (Mike) Skands, Patti (Randy) Turner, Laurie (Ed) Mannings, Joanne Segur and Donald Segur; grandchildren Jennifer (Andrew), Jeff, Jacqueline, Nicole, Lee, Jason, Michelle, Sam, Andrea, and Jamie; great grandchildren Jeremy, Justin, Reese and Karsyn. She was predeceased by her husband Don, sister Palma Wheeler and brother Harold McPhee. Joan’s family would like to thank Dr. Noiles, for his many years of friendship and exceptional care, and the staff of Mountain Lakes’ Falcon Ridge cottage for their abundance of loving care and incredible support over the last year and a half. A Celebration of Life will he held for Joan and Don, in the summer of 2014, for family and friends. As an expression of Sympathy, donations in Joan’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, and if you would like, you could specify Southern Interior Rotary Lodge, in Kelowna, for cancer victim’s family members.

Grizzlies come up big in Jaimo’s last weekend Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Grizzlies had a little extra motivation to pull off the win over the Chase Heat on Sunday. Not only did they need the points to keep pace in their division, but it was also Jamie Barisoff’s last game with the team. “We want the points really bad, but tonight feels a little different with Jaimo leaving,” said captain Devon Hascarl. “We really wanted to win for the kid, he’s been here for so long. We love the kid. It’s sad to see him go.” Barisoff, who is developmentally disabled, is leaving with his family for Chilliwack. He has been the team’s stick boy for a decade and has always been well loved and respected by the players. He was given a team jersey with his name on the back at the start of the second period. Coach Darren Naylor said Barisoff gave the players a positive perspective. Even after a big loss, Jaimo, as he was nicknamed, would come in and talk about the good goals they scored. The Grizzlies’ week got off to a bad start when defenceman Aiden Silzer-Hooker, who put up 14 points in 10 games, demanded a trade. “He made the decision he doesn’t want to play here so I’m going to try and move him,” said Naylor. “He’s a local guy and it’s disappointing him

and his dad made the decision they did. That’s their choice and I’m not going to hold grudges. It’s my job to get the best asset back I can.” The Grizzlies started their threegame weekend against the North Okanagan Knights at the Revelstoke Forum on Friday. Matt McDonald, Matt Lucero, Coleton Dawsom, Tre Mason and Kohl Bell scored for Revelstoke, and Aaron Brandoli made 31 saves as the Grizzlies held on for a 5-4 win. Devon Hascarl had three assists and Dawson and Kyler Wilkinson also had multi-point games in the win. On Saturday, the team was in Kelowna to battle the Chiefs. Once again, they struggled in the first period, giving up five goals, plus a sixth early in the second, on the way to an 8-4 loss. “We have to learn to show up on the road and be ready for first periods,” said Naylor. “The last few road trips we’ve had, the first periods have killed us.” Matt MacDonald, Hascarl, Mason and Chad Thomas scored for Revelstoke in the loss to Kelowna, who are second overall in the KIJHL. On Sunday, the Grizzlies returned home to face the Chase Heat. Mason scored three times to lead the Grizzlies to a 5-2 win. Hascarl picked up one goal and two assists and Wilkinson scored an empty netter in the

win. “It feels pretty good,” said Mason following the game. “It’s a home game, definitely a big thing to do it front of the fans, especially Jaimo’s last game.” The team is now more than a third of the way through the season, and while they are still in last place in their division, Hascarl said the players were getting more serious and tighter as a team.

“Tonight was probably the biggest improvement and we noticed it,” he said. “Guys are starting to feel it and like to win.” Naylor said the team was hard working and serious about improving. He said the play on the ice was getting better as well. “We’re starting to get some points. We’re beating some teams. That Kelowna game, if we don’t have that bad first period we could

have come out with six points no problem,” he said. “I’m noticing things on the ice – the passing, they’re thought processes, way less mistakes. The guys who are taking penalties don’t play anymore.” This weekend the Grizzlies make the long drive to Kimberley to play the Dynamiters on Friday, before returning home for a rematch against Chase on Saturday.
