Jacobson

Bell, who turned 30 in March, grew up in Toronto and moved to Revelstoke, attracted by the mountain lifestyle like so many others. He was a familiar face behind counter at the repair shop at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, where he worked as a ski tech in the winter. He also worked as a environmental field technician and pursued his passion for the environment by volunteering with the North Columbia Environmental Society. He and his girlfriend Kerstin Byman got engaged late last year; she is expecting their child in early June. A crowd-funding campaign on the website Indiegogo.com was started to help raise money to support Byman and her baby boy. The money raised will go into a trust account set up at the TD Bank in Revelstoke that was set up by family friends Brenda Demone and Connie McKnight. Bell's ordeal began in April 2013 when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. The tumour was discovered and removed very early and no further treatment was expected. In January, Bell began experiencing extreme fatigue and he was hospitalized on Feb. 7 after experiencing chest pains. He has remained in hospital ever since, diagnosed with paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis, a rare disorder where the autoimmune system attacks the brain cells, mistaking them for cancer cells. Last week, family and friends started a Facebook page With love for Kerstin Byman and Baby Boy Bell in order to provide updates. An outpouring of support emerged yesterday following an article published on the Times Review website last Monday, hours before he died. The article has been read by about 15,000 people. Family and friends have been

Contributed

expressing their sympathies on social media. Here is a sample of what has been written on Bell's Facebook page: David Pearson: "You will be missed and never forgotten. I'm glad our paths crossed here in Revelstoke. 'Go for Rowland.'" Jacqueline Cover: "I'm glad I had the honor of knowing you. You had such an amazingly kind spirit that everyone should strive to have. Thank you." Giles Shearing: "The world has lost a powerful proponent of love. Rest in peace Rowland, you will be deeply missed. I will fondly remember our time spent scheming on ways to save the planet." Ian Houghton: "Rowland, you will be deeply missed. You were one of the most positive people I know, and your smile and infectious laugh lit up the room. You put people at their ease and never had a bad word to say about anyone. I'm proud to have known you, and I'm sure your son will follow in your footsteps. Ski in peace my friend." Rachel Majury: "We will miss your amazing spirit, so full of positivity and life. There's comfort in knowing you'll be living on through your little one." Ian Turner: "Thank you for teaching me how to properly tune an edge and base, for always smiling, showing me amazing music, laughing at my stupid jokes and dancing when everyone was watching. Rest in peace Rowland Bell. You were a mountain man, with the heart of a kind bear." *** To help out, donations can be made at TD Canada Trust by depositing money into account 9360 6269011.

Man arrested after trophy hunting incident Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

A man has been charged with several wildlife infractions in what the Conservation Office Service is calling a trophy hunting incident. The investigation was launched when a large adult black bear carcass was spotted by CP Rail employees near Heather Mountain Lodge, east of Glacier National Park earlier this week. It was beheaded, depawed and de-skinned, an employee told the Times Review. On Thursday, the incident was confirmed by Golden-Based conservation officer Alex Desjardins. He dismissed speculation the bear was harvested for its paws; bear paw soup is a delicacy in some Asian countries. He said the bear was likely skinned as part of common practice when bear's are hunted. However, he added, leaving the carcass behind is illegal. "It is unlawful to leave behind edible portions of wildlife, the only exception being grizzly bear," said Desjardins. "You are required by law to remove the edible parts." When asked if the incident could be considered trophy hunting, Desjardins replied positively. An investigation into the incident was launched which led to the arrest of a man. No information about the accused was provided. Gary Krestinsky, the president of the Revelstoke Rod and Gun Club, said these type of poaching incidents are common but rarely result in arrests.

$1,200 signing bonus offered for teacher deal Tom fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is offering teachers a $1,200 signing bonus and reducing its proposed contract length from 10 years to six. The latest proposal was presented Friday to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation by Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the province’s 60 school districts. The bonus is contingent on settling the dispute before the end of the school year. Cameron also informed the union that it will begin cutting teachers’ pay by 5% if teachers continue to refuse to perform some of their

duties. That will be imposed “soon” and the union would have to apply to the Labour Relations Board if it wants to contest it, Cameron said. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association has dropped its plan to start billing the union for the cost of benefits, estimated at $5 million a month, opting for the pay cut in an effort to persuade the union to stop its phase one strike action. There was no change to BCPSEA’s latest general wage proposal, a 6.5% increase over six years. BCTF president Jim Iker earlier termed that a “lowball offer” that B.C.’s 40,000 teachers would be unlikely to accept.

REVELSTOKE MINOR HOCKEY

Cameron said the government’s wage offer is consistent with settlements with other public sector employee groups. He estimates the union’s latest proposal is a 15.9%

increase over four years. That is “not in the ballpark” of other public sector union settlements, he said. The BCTF estimates its wage demand at 13.25% over four years, including cost of living increases. The new term length is a small modification of the earlier proposal, which was for a 10-year deal with wage negotiations to reopen for the final four years. That proposal would have meant the BCTF couldn’t strike after six years if they didn’t accept the wage extension, because they would still be under contract. Iker said the 10-year term was never workable, and after 16 months of Premier Christy Clark’s

promises, he’s pleased to see it off the table. Unions representing 47,000 health care workers announced Thursday they are recommending their members accept a five-year settlement that includes a 5.5% wage increase. Workers in hospitals, residential care facilities, emergency health services and supply and logistics will begin voting on the settlement next week. The BCTF began work-to-rule action in April, refusing supervision outside classrooms and communication with school management. A March strike vote gives the BCTF a mandate to begin rotating strikes at any time.

First Spring Expo celebrates Revelstoke’s small businesses Judy Goodman Chamber of Commerce

The Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Tanya Secord, is pleased to bring the first annual Spring Expo to our community. The Coast Hillcrest Resort Hotel will host the event on Sunday, May 25, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The show will offer attendees the opportunity to connect with Revelstoke business owners, many of whom are home based. The Hillcrest is the perfect setting to enjoy spring views of our majestic community and take advantage of the rare opportunity to experience chef Saar’s fabulous brunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for only $14.95/person. In past years the Chamber has been host to larger trade shows but found that it was difficult for some of our local businesses to participate as it was cost prohibitive. Our goal with the 2014 Spring Expo is to allow local entrepreneurs to showcase their businesses and raise awareness of the products and services available in our community. The Chamber has been active in the Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP)

that was completed in 2013. The action plan of the ICSP is designed to provide direction for the community to continue to move towards sustainability. The plan identifies the key priorities of environment and climate, social & culture, and local economy. The Chamber has been tasked with several actions relating to the local economy. A high priority item is to create initiatives that support small and home-based businesses. The Spring Expo is a great opportunity to showcase this sector of our economy! Another way the Chamber supports business is through the business directory on www.revelstokechamber.com. This easy to navigate search function offers opportunity for members to attract new business as well as offering consumers a quick and easy way to source products and services locally. This is an essential tool to connect with those businesses that do not have a web presence or store front operation. A variety of products and services will be on display at the show. Spring brings new life to outdoor spaces, gardens and patios. Indigo Landscaping is ready to help you create your perfect outdoor retreat or sustainable dream

Scott Duke, Trevor English running for council What about current council? ALEX COOPER

ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The 2014 municipal election is quietly creeping up on us, with less than six months to go until it’s time to vote for mayor and council. Mayor David Raven told the Times Review he is “95 per cent sure” he will run for a third term. So far, only four names have thrown their hat in the ring to compete for a spot on council — incumbents Linda Nixon and Gary Starling (see sidebar), and newcomers to the political arena, Scott Duke and Trevor English. I met Duke and English for a coffee last week to discuss why they were running. I didn’t get deep into issues, with the belief more detailed discussions will be better left to closer to the election when more people are paying attention. Duke and English are both part of Focus Revelstoke, which they describe as a think tank and not a political party. Focus Revelstoke has been making some noise lately and the Times Review will look more at what they are about next week. Duke, 32, an Ontario native, is best known in Revelstoke for founding StokeFM, the community radio station on which he co-hosts the morning show three times a week. He said he is running because, “To be honest, I’m frustrated with current leadership, is the main reason.” He will be running on an agenda of “better fiscal responsibility and better management of people’s money.” Duke is an entrepreneur who touted

his business background as one of his qualifications for being a councillor. He listed off nine businesses he has run, including a clothing company, painting company, snowmobile rental business, and vacation rental company. Since moving to Revelstoke in 2010 he launched Duke’s Dogs, StokeFM and Revelstoke Property Services. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce’s board of directors. English, 39, was born in Revelstoke, though his family moved away when he was one and he didn’t return until 2011. In between that time, he lived in Saskatchewan and the Shuswap. He came to Revelstoke when he was transferred to Jacobson Ford’s Revelstoke dealership and not long after he took on the manager position at the Bargain Store — now the Red Apple. He was a member of the chamber board

until he stepped down earlier this year to run for council. He has two children, aged 15 and 10, and said he is running to make Revelstoke a better place for them. “I want to make Revelstoke the best community it can be,” he said. “My family’s never been happier than it has been here and I want to give back to the city.” English hopes to improve the business climate in Revelstoke to make it more encouraging for entrepreneurs and youth. “I think what can make Revelstoke the best community is a healthy blend of services, businesses that are profitable, and a standard living of care for all the residents of Revelstoke across the whole demographic — services for children, seniors, every day people,” he said.

With less than six months to go to the municipal election, we asked current mayor and council if they intended to run for re-election? Here’s how they replied. Mayor David Raven: I am about 95 per cent sure that I will run again. The honour of serving allows me to work for my community in a constructive way with the personal satisfaction of having contributed to a community that I feel strongly about. The issues going into the next election cycle may change over the next six months, however the core questions around taxes, services and the demands of a balanced economy will certainly be part of the discussion. Steve Bender: Undecided. Issues are replenishing surpluses, infrastructure maintenance, vacation rental policy, maintaining our high level of social and health services which make Revelstoke so attractive to newcomers, attaining fairness and balance between those who wish Revelstoke to grow as quickly as possible and those who wish a more cautious approach to growth. It’s called listening to and carefully analyzing all sides of any given issue. Chris Johnston: No response. Linda Nixon: I am looking forward to the opportunity to serve as a councillor again and will be running for one of the six positions. The big issues for Revelstoke will be to work towards increasing population full time, sustaining the ‘cost of living’ jobs in the community and ensuring that those who are working poor have a healthy living environment. Tony Scarcella: No response Gary Starling: I will be running for council again this year. The most important issue for Revelstoke? I would say that we need to ensure that our business community remains vibrant. We are fortunate to have a diverse economy in Revelstoke and we need to continue to support that. Phil Welock: I’m not a poker player but wouldn’t play my hand this early in the final year of our term.

LETTERS POLICY

“Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably will not themselves be realized.” That was American architect Daniel Burnham’s city-planning advice at the turn of the 20th century. More than 100 years later, he couldn’t be more wrong. Big, top-down building projects no longer stir the imaginations of North American city dwellers. Now people are excited about little changes to our urban fabric. Small, creative projects that make cities more livable are popping up in unexpected places: alleys, front yards, vacant lots and parking spaces. Whether it’s yarn-bombed street furniture, roadway parking turned to miniparkettes or guerrilla gardens in overlooked spaces, these oftenunauthorized interventions are helping to transform properties and neighbourhoods, one light, quick, cheap tweak at a time. Last spring, residents of Toronto’s Palmerston Square took note when an old chalk-

board suddenly appeared on a tall, rusted schoolyard fence that runs along their quiet residential street — the first salvo from two participants in the David Suzuki Foundation’s Homegrown National Park Project. Passersby were encouraged to write their desires for green improvements. Neighbours began meeting. One family filled a perpetual pothole with flowers. Others put benches in their front yards to begin “parkifying” the block. Graffiti knitters yarnbombed the chain-link fence. An artist and local kids created a DIY outdoor version of fridge magnet poetry with plastic pipes cut in half, painted with words and hung on the fence with simple S-hooks. Two garden planters were dug into spots where trees had perished. This spring, residents successfully funded a project to replace the entire stretch of asphalt with a large pollinatorfriendly garden. There’s even talk of removing the fence. The ripple effect: People from nearby streets have started organizing their own interventions, like a pollinator garden at the neighbourhood daycare and moss graffiti in an alleyway. As resident Anjum Chagpar said, “Inspiration breeds inspiration. Simple, fun interventions are contagious.” Replacing pavement with a pollinator garden on one small street won’t solve the vast issues

our communities face, but little spaces perhaps hold the greatest potential. To make our cities truly green, we must bring nature to the oft-neglected bits between parks and existing green areas. Streets and sidewalks alone account for about 80 per cent of a city’s public space. Private spaces like yards, rooftops and balconies cover more than half the urban landscape. Stretching our visions of urban green space to include these allows us to reimagine the city as a vibrant green mosaic. Squeezing more nature into cities requires creativity. It also needs buy-in from homeowners, property managers and experts from fields like landscape architecture and urban planning. That’s why the David Suzuki Foundation and Workshop Architecture launched the Homegrown Design Challenge, an open competition that provides an opportunity to present ideas for low-cost, easy-toimplement landscape design solutions for front yards, backyards, balconies, schoolyards and laneways that provide environmental benefits, like capturing storm-water during severe weather events and providing habitat for birds, bees and butterflies. “While we expect interest from architects, landscape architects, designers and planners, the competition is open to anyone with innovative green design

ideas,” said Helena Grdadolnik, Workshop Architecture competition organizer. Daniel Burnham lived in a time when telegrams were cutting-edge. Today good ideas can spread from community to community across the globe almost instantaneously. So it’s no surprise that a growing number of design competitions and events are celebrating urban interventions, from PARK(ing) Day, which highlights the transformation of parking spots into temporary public spaces in 35 countries, to 100-in-1 Day, which will be held this year on June 7 in Toronto, Halifax and Vancouver to celebrate citizen-led initiatives that “raise awareness of urban and social issues, inspire ideas, and motivate leaders to consider new approaches to old problems.” If a project requires start-up dollars, crowd-funding websites help organizers raise money in mere days or weeks. Sites like Projexity.com enable groups and individuals to fund, design and build projects in their neighbourhoods. What can we take from this revolutionary wave of small, creative interventions? That residents can play an active, handson role in transforming the places they live, work, play and share. Making your community truly greener is a tall order. But starting small can pay big dividends.

Arrow Lakes fisheries compensation a chronology of failure: BCWF Editor, The Kootenay region has endured a disproportionate amount of ecological damage due to numerous upper Columbia Basin hydro developments that have generated considerable economic benefits to the province, but also caused significant social and environmental damage to the region. The most recent dam at Revelstoke caused huge disruption and losses to fish and wildlife populations that were identified at public hearings in Revelstoke in 1978. During the 1980’s, BC Hydro made a number of commitments to restore fish and wildlife lost due to their Columbia River hydro developments, including the Revelstoke Dam. The government and BC Hydro eventually formed a program called the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) in the mid-1990's to restore fish and wildlife losses, especially those related to the Revelstoke Dam. The B.C. Wildlife Federation (BCWF) has long argued that the FWCP should not be administered by BC Hydro, yet to this day it remains under their control, administered out of their Castlegar office. The so-called partner, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO), neither has the capacity to function as a true partner nor the arm’s length relationship necessary to ensure BC Hydro delivers on its primary responsibility of restoring fish and wildlife and their habitats outlined in their water licence. At the Revelstoke public hearings, Arrow Lakes Reservoir fish

losses were identified and agreed upon by BC Hydro and the government. The Revelstoke Dam blocked an estimated 500,000 kokanee, 1,000 rainbow trout and 4,000 bull trout. Prior to the formation of the FWCP, BC Hydro paid for construction of the Hill Creek spawning channel aimed at replacing most of the Revelstoke Dam kokanee losses and some of the rainbow trout. In the past two decades, little has been done to replace bull trout and their number today are less than before Revelstoke Dam was built. A small rainbow trout hatchery at the Hill Creek spawning channel was closed after determining it wasn’t producing the numbers expected. Ironically, a small number of large trout continue to return to the spawning channel despite the FWCP claim the hatchery was unsuccessful. The BCWF acknowledges there has been, or at least there was, success associated with restoration of the Arrow Lakes Reservoir fish populations. The nutrient restoration program initiated in 1997 vastly increased reservoir productivity resulting in record returns of kokanee to the Hill Creek spawning channel in the early 2000s that came close to achieving the 500,000 target. Unfortunately, this success was not sustained due to the change in flows out of the Revelstoke Dam that has reduced the effectiveness of the nutrient program. As a management agency, FLNRO, in the public interest, should have pursued compensation or offsets for the operational change. The FWCP’s own technical

reports document the slow decline of the Arrow Lakes Reservoir kokanee population since the early 2000’s. By 2013, the population was nearly as low as the numbers after the Revelstoke Dam and before nutrient addition began. Today, the total kokanee spawning population is only about 200,000, far less than the restoration target of 500,000 plus the 200,000 pre-dam level. Why the emphasis on kokanee numbers? They are the primary food source for rainbow and bull trout and without large numbers of kokanee these trout will not thrive and restoration of their numbers as agreed upon simply cannot be met. The BCWF, in fact, argues trout numbers today are less than before the Revelstoke Dam was built. The FWCP response to what has recently happened on the Arrow is irresponsible. Rather than redouble efforts to restore kokanee via the Hill Creek spawning channel and nutrient addition, the FWCP has decreased spawning channel production by excluding close to 40,000 spawners from the spawning channel in 2013, with intentions of doing the same in 2014. Why? Evidently, the interest now lies in trying to create larger kokanee for anglers since reduction of kokanee numbers in the reservoir will result in fewer but larger size. This is a case of managing fisheries down the food chain rather than maintaining trophy-size rainbow and bull trout fisheries. Is this in the best public interest? The numbers available for such

an ill-conceived experiment will be drawn from less than 200,000 spawners, thus the numbers of larger size kokanee will be small and spread out over a very large reservoir. To further rationalize this folly, FLNRO argues that “wild” kokanee need protection from “hatchery” kokanee produced at the spawning channel. This is a ludicrous argument given the total mixing of stocks due to reservoir formation and several millions of hatchery kokanee introduced to the system over the decades. Kokanee are not endangered in B.C. or in the reservoir; the FWCP has lost sight of its mandate to replace kokanee and the trophy fisheries they support in the Arrow Lakes Reservoir. The health and welfare of the trout stocks are now at risk since their food source has been greatly diminished. The BCWF maintains that trout fishing on the reservoir has, and always will be, the primary interest of year round anglers. What is the purpose of the FWCP if it is not intending to replace kokanee and trout? The BCWF has recently spoken to the FWCP board about this contradictory situation to no avail. The current measures to produce fewer but larger Arrow kokanee while putting the trout at risk is in sharp contrast to what is successfully done on nearby Kootenay Lake. On this lake, a spawning channel at Meadow Creek is used to produce large numbers of smaller kokanee as prey, primarily for the world famous Gerrard rainbow trout as well as for bull trout. A productive fishery is the result. Why is the Arrow being man-

aged differently? Clearly, there is no accountability for what is taking place on the Arrow Lakes Reservoir. BC Hydro points out that FLNRO is responsible for managing fish and wildlife. FLNRO is incapable of having an arm’s length relationship with BC Hydro and holding the corporations’ feet to the fire by insisting on BC Hydro meeting its compensation obligations. The residents of the Arrow Lakes Reservoir should be incensed as to what is taking place. The BCWF urges people to write to their MLAs and ministers demanding a change to the administration of the FWCP by removing it from the hands of BC Hydro and demanding accountability within FLNRO. The BCWF has for over a decade argued the fox should not be in charge of the chicken coop, as is the case now. This current scenario has led to BC Hydro not meeting its compensation obligations and not keeping its promise to the residents of the West Kootenay. Today it is the same Corporation that is representing the public’s interest in the Columbia Treaty renegotiations. Finally, the BCWF supports last week’s decision by the government to proceed with a public inquiry into Arrow Lakes Reservoir fisheries management and the role of the FWCP.

Trails and travails on CPR Hill Ten years ago, Cliff Lamb started building trails on CPR Hill. Since then, he has developed a network that criss-crosses the area, though not without concern from private property owners., who worry about the impact on the landscape and their liability.

advanced trail and it was in disrepair.” Lamb went about repairing the trail. He re-routed the trail to bypass some of the worst climbs and also make it walkable. He tried to follow natural terrain features to make it a friendlier trail for people to bike and hike. “I thought it was close to Revelstoke and people should be able to go for a walk and ride their bikes too,” he said. That work marked the start of the web-like network of trails that criss-cross CPR Hill, from Townley Street in the east to the railway museum in the west. It’s a 13-kilometre network of trails that has proven to be popular with hikers, joggers, dog walkers and mountain bikers, but also exists in a grey zone, straddling a mix of city and private property, and all of it built without any official sanctioning. amb moved to Revelstoke from Victoria, where he was an avid mountain biker. The 46-year-old wears his hair in a short pony tail and works for CP Rail as a conductor. His first work was on Toaster, then he started to work on trails at the eastern end of CPR Hill. He could see signs of old trails — one he learned was put in by the Stovel family, who own a property at the end of Cedar Street, and another scratched into the forest by some mountain bikers. “I worked on that. I didn’t know it was private property, I assumed it was all crown land,” he told me. He looked for signs of old trails, pieced together sections, built some bridges and slowly a trail network emerged between the railway museum and Townley Street. “I thought to myself, ‘How can I be as polite and as careful as possible?’” he said. “If there are issues and the city comes along, the worst case scenario is the trail is closed and nature comes back in.” As he would discover, the land wasn’t all city owned. A good chunk of it, especially at the eastern end is owned by private individuals and CP Rail. Lamb has put together maps showing who owns what pieces of land, with the trails overlaid on top. According to the maps he showed me, there are six undeveloped lots on the eastern end of CPR Hill, divided by what would have been an extension of Cedar Street. I was unable to reach the land owners north of Cedar, but

hen Cliff Lamb moved to Revelstoke in 2003, he looked for places to go mountain biking near town. There weren’t as many trails around here then as there is now — a few around Williamson Lake, some trails at Mt. Macpherson, a couple on Mt. Mackenzie and one trail called Toaster behind the Revelstoke Railway Museum. One day, Lamb discovered the Toaster trail, which found a way through the hill above the railway museum towards the Clearview Heights neighbourhood on CPR Hill. “It was very difficult, it was very steep in sections, but to be honest with you, very few people could ride it,” he said. “It was an

did speak to both land owners south of Cedar Street. CP Rail owns property in the area immediately adjacent to Track Street. Virginia Thompson bought the two easternmost lots in 2005, with the idea of letting one of her sons build there. After exploring the lots — and realizing the cost to develop them — she decided it would be better to leave them undeveloped and turn them into a urban forest. “My dream was to have some benches and to just have it as a walking, sitting place where people could go and commune with nature,” she said. She considered looking for ways to protect the land — possibly by donating it to the city, or by placing a covenant on the land so it couldn’t be developed. Then, one day, she went for a walk and found a number of bridges put in. “I was taken aback because this was private property. Nobody asked me,” she said. “Then we began to see more and more trails being built and the understory being infringed and small trees being cut and garbage being left around.” Laura Stovel, who’s family owns the lot at the end of Cedar Street, expressed similar misgivings about the trail development. Growing up, her family would use a trail through the area to reach what is now Townley Street — the one Lamb discovered. “It was there my whole life. I don’t even know if it was dad who built it. It was just always there,” she told me. “The eastern access was a beautiful meadow and that’s where we used to play.” The area was much wilder and animal sightings were common, especially bears. “I think this hive of trails has eroded a lot of the underbrush and the activity scares the animals,” she said. “There’s a lot fewer animals.” Despite these misgivings, both Stovel and Thompson said they aren’t opposed to the trails — they just want them controlled, damage to the land minimized, and their liability limited. s Cliff Lamb and I walked along the trails together, he pointed out remnants of past use of the area — bits of old bridges, signs of old trails, and debris left behind from development long forgotten. We pulled two metal bars out of the ground and walked over a pile of bricks that lay partly exposed under a section of trail. The forest was wide open, with

They left behind lots of nails and other garbage. It was this kind of work that had him worried, knowing that the big jumps and garbage are what would most upset the land owners. “If it was possible to meet these kids, I’d like to show them the property line and ask them not to do anything on private property,” he said. Laura Stovel said she was worried about the big jumps being built on private land, “Because if somebody gets hurt on somebody else’s land, it can be a serious thing.” ord slowly came to Lamb that some of the land he was working on was privately owned. He met with Laura Stovel and Virginia Thompson, and with one other land owner. He has yet to hear from the fourth land owner, who owns the land at the northeast end of Cedar Street. “As the old saying goes, ‘If it ain’t broke don’t fix,’” he said. “There hasn’t been any problems so I don’t want to contact him. I wait for them.” The conversations with the land owners went well, Lamb told me (a sentiment Thompson agreed with). He explained to them what he was doing and, to address their liability concerns, pointed them to the Occupiers Liability Act. The act says that a land owner isn’t responsible for risks assumed by someone on their land, unless they deliberately undertook acts that risked a person’s safety. A few years ago, at the urging of her insurance company, Thompson had private property and no trespassing signs posted

at the entrances to her property. She had them put up as protection against liability, she said. “I could take the bridges out,” she said. “I’ve considered that and I might have to if it got to that eventually, because of the liability.” Still, as things stand, she doesn’t mind mountain biking on her property, as long as it doesn’t get too built up and it stays clean. Her main concern, she told me, is that the land not be developed, but she also wants to make sure she is not liable for any injuries. She also brought up the matter of compensation — right now she is paying taxes on land that other people use without permission. She also wants to ensure the land stay clean and the understory not disturbed any more than it is. “The understory has been changed and compromised,” she said. “I would be quite willing to sit down with the cycling club and the city and try to work something out,” she said. “I’d rather have cycling there than have development. It’s just a matter if we can work something out where there’s an easement in perpetuity.” Stovel said her main concern is the amount of trail building that’s gone on, which in her view is excessive. “He’s created this lovely network but I think there’s been so much trail building that its eroded the land and cut out the underbrush, which is important in any forest,” she said. “I think it’s too much but I commend him for all the hard work he’s put in.”

cedar trees forming a light canopy above and babbling creeks rushing down the hillside. Our first stop was the jump line built on city land right next to the Townley Street entrance. The line starts with a wooden jump at the top of the hill, swerves through a series of berms before one final jump at the bottom. The line was built by a group of kids, much to Lamb’s chagrin. He looks at the heavy manipulation done to the land — notably a big hole that was dug to create the final jump — and shakes his head. “This is a section I’m not really in favour of,” he said. “I’m not much of an expert on (jumps) at all. I don’t like to see it in here.” Lamb sees himself as the caretaker of the trails. He built most of them and spends time maintaining them, though he notes many other people do volunteer maintenance now as well. He had no trail building experience before coming to Revelstoke and, as he puts it, his aim was to create trails that minimized the impact on the land. He looked for areas that he thought could have been roads or trails in the past and built bridges using blowdown He pointed to a wider path that led through the jump line. It could have been a skidder trail, he said. “This whole hillside, this is exactly what I was looking for — these terrain features that required the least amount of manipulation,” he said. As Lamb built his trails, other people also started building in the area — mostly kids, he said. They built the big jump line and other big stunts that Lamb tore down; you can see the remnants of some of them throughout the trail network. Lamb feels a sense of ownership over the trails. He built them and maintains them, and wants to make sure they continue to exist. To do that, he needs to make sure the trails stay clean and don’t get out of control. The jumps and other big features have him worried “I don’t want trails on private property to get too big or people to do their own thing and cut their own trail,” he said. “It’s a bit of a tenuous system.” As we walked around, he pointed me to a section of trail at the edge of Virginia Thompson’s property. Some time ago, some people had built a wooden ramp that they had nailed into two trees.

Special to the Times Review

Melissa Jameson: Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk are the 2014 CBC Searchlight Competition winners. What was that experience like? Lauren Mann: It's been pretty crazy. It was a two month long competition and was mostly based on votes until the last couple rounds. When we entered, we were hesitant because we knew it was long and we didn't want people to get tired of voting. We entered and the first few rounds we kept advancing. We thought, “Cool people are getting on board with us.” We started to be little more intentional with stuff we were posting. It was really cool to be part of contest with other Canadian bands who are not well known and still up and coming. It was a great way for me to hear what else is coming out in Canada and connect with those bands. Also, the other cool thing was just realizing we have awesome fans. We did a little contest of our own to get the word out and encourage people to vote. By the last few rounds people were taking it on themselves to tell their friends and vote. Closer to the end, people were just running with it themselves. MJ: Did you win anything? LM: We won $20,000 of Yamaha gear. We are getting to pick out some instruments and

equipment that will benefit us. We also have a chance to play at the CBC Music fest in Vancouver on June 14. We're looking forward to opening for some amazing Canadian artists. MJ: Your album Over Land and Sea Deluxe Edition is offered as a free download (with a tip option) via Noisetrade. Can you speak a bit about having your music heard versus being paid? Are the two interchangeable? LM: When we put our music on Noisetrade, we just really wanted to make it accessible for people. We're also selling albums at shows and on iTunes. I feel like there's been such a movement towards free music lately and having music accessible. We decided we might not get paid from all these downloads, but it's good exposure for us. It's been really cool because people who go to Noisetrade are music appreciators, we do get some tips for that. We've also found, especially in U.S., when we tour down there people are coming out because they found us on Noisetrade, and they might get an album or a T-shirt. It's cool see that response. MJ: There have been a number of 'Fairly Odd Folk' join you on your journeys. Who would you say has been most influential in creating your current sound? LM: Over the past four or five years of me playing I've played with probably 20 different peo-

ple. It's cool because everyone contributes something unique, but there are six of us right now permanently in the band. In the past year we've been touring together and jamming and working on new material. This is where we wanted to be, having a band that's a little more permanent. We're looking to record a new album in the next year. MJ: Name three things you can't possibly be without when you leave home and would turn your car around to go back for if you forgot? LM: 1. My passport. It's not the biggest deal because this year we're touring mostly in Canada, but I would never go on tour without my passport. 2. My keys. Those are a very important element of touring when I have important keys we need on day to day basis. 3. If I didn't have my notebook I would probably have to turn around. I'm an avid journaler so if I didn't have that I'd make the whole band go back and get it. TR: You're about to go onstage and are informed you can only perform one song. Which song is it? LM: We'd probably play a song from our album Over Land and Sea called I Lost Myself. I guess it's the single of the album. A lot of people have been listing to it, so if people know our songs it's one they can sing along to.

Riley Hunt helps lead Yorkton to RBC Cup title Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Riley Hunt will be coming home this summer with a national championship to his name. The Revelstoke minor hockey product helped his team the Yorkton Terriers win the RBC Cup as the top Junior A hockey team in Canada last week in Vernon, where he began his junior career three years ago. “It’s awesome,” he said on Monday, the day after winning the championship. “Obviously winning a national championship is pretty cool, but doing it where my junior career started, it’s that much more important to me having family and friends there. “It was a pretty cool moment.” The Yorkton Terriers road to the RBC Cup wasn’t easy. The team lost its first two games of the tournament to the Toronto Lakeshore Patriots and host Vernon Vipers. That put them into a must-win situation in their next two games to advance to the semi-finals — a feat they pulled off by beating the Carleton Place Canadians and Dauphin Kings. “All year we put ourselves in positions like that where we had to win games and come through when it mattered,” said Hunt. “The mindset in the dressing room didn’t really change. We just took it game by game.” The Terriers defeated the host Vipers 6-3 in the semi-finals on Saturday to advance to the finals against the Canadians. In the finals, the teams traded goals in the

first period, but Carleton Place scored twice in the second for a 3-1 lead. They appeared to be heading for victory, but the Terriers scored two goals in a span of eight seconds with less than three minutes to go in the third to send the game to overtime. There, Derek Falloon scored the winner to give the Terriers the RBC Cup title. “It was a huge goal by a 20-year-old playing his last junior game,” said Hunt. Hunt picked up three assists for Yorkton in the tournament. His journey there was a long and difficult one, with the second year of his junior career cut short early on by injuries. The 5’7”, 170-pound Hunt began playing junior with the Vernon Vipers when he was 16. He picked up one goal and five assists in 49 games in his rookie season. The following year he was traded to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks, but missed all but four games with an injury. He started this season in Salmon Arm, but was sent down to Junior B after putting up only two points in 18 games. With the Summerland Steam, he scored at a point-pergame pace and was given another shot at Junior A with the Terriers. “The coaches have been great. I owe a lot to them,” said Hunt. “They gave me a great opportunity to develop my game and play in situations that I need to be playing in to move on to the college level. I’m playing with good players and in all situations — to contribute to a national championship like I did, as a

much better than that.” Hunt thanked all his friends, family and former teammates for their support over the years. “I appreciate the people in Revelstoke reaching out to me on Twitter and Facebook and what not. I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.”

junior hockey player, that’s all I can ask for.” Hunt thought he would be playing for the RBC Cup this year, but he expected it would be as a member of the host Vipers, not with a Saskatchewan team. “There has been adversity, there has been ups and downs,” he said. “Standing on the ice with a trophy above your head, it doesn’t end

From top to bottom: This 1933 McLaughlin Buick Victoria was called a first place vehicle by judges at the Vintage Car Club of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s May Tour show in Revelstoke on Saturday.; There was no indication as to what kind of car this re-built orange machine was, but with itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low body, elegant curves and orange paint job, it got lots of looks.; George Hopkins with his 1928 Model A Ford, the only Revelstoke car entered into the judging. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review ALEX COOPER

What does it take to have a first place automobile in a vintage car show? Only 35 years of restoration work. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Peter Trant put into his 1933 McLaughlin Buick Victoria â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a vehicle that had judges salivating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anything wrong with it,â&#x20AC;? said judge Bill Trant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That car was 35 years in restoration. I know that, because it belongs to my brother.â&#x20AC;? Nearby, Peter was fielding questions about his elegant car, which he brought to Revelstoke from Vancouver in a trailer in order to protect it after so many years of meticulous work that began in 1979. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a screw that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been taken out or bolt that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been taken out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been restored to factory condition and reinstalled where it came from. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You look for a part and if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find it, you make it.â&#x20AC;? All the restoration work was done by Peter himself, except the final paint job and chrome plating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did the upholstery, the mechanical and the body work,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been shown, so there hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been many people that have seen it.â&#x20AC;? The Buick was one of about 20 vehicles being judged. Cars start with 1,000 points and judges deduct points for every flaw they find. To earn first place, you must score 900â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1,000 points. 825â&#x20AC;&#x201C;900 gets you second place and 750â&#x20AC;&#x201C;825 gets you a third place prize. Just down the road, George Hopkins was showing off his 1928 Model A Ford, which he acquired a few years ago and has shown at past show and shines in Revelstoke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the only Revelstoke Vintage Car Club car thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the judging,â&#x20AC;? he told me. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect a big prize, but he does make sure to take it out for a drive a few times a week. The vintage car show was a big success, with the rain letting up Saturday morning just as people flocked downtown. There was more than 100 vehicles on display, and many more people strolling the streets, gawking at the classic vehicles on display. The show was part of a weekend of events centred on the Vintage Car Club of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s May Tour.

Right now they are a local haven who’s existence has spread by word of mouth. How the arrangement would look remains to be seen. Mason said the city has sought an opinion on liability issues from municipal risk management experts. One issue is what kind of standard the trails have been built to. “That would be a consideration — are they safe for the public? And if they’re not, it’s difficult for us to promote them,” he said. “If they’re not safe and the city decides ® they want to promote them, who’s going to do the work to bring them up to standard?” Mason said it’s doubtful the city would want to take on management of the trails, so that responsibility would likely fall to the Revelstoke Cycling Association. for 6 months in a bundle.* Virginia Thompson expressed concern about the trails being actively promoted.
