Trans-Canada speed limit increased around Revelstoke ALEX COOPER
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
The speed limit on the TransCanada Highway from Salmon Arm to Golden is being increased to 100 km/h, following a review by the B.C. government. The move is part of an increase in speed limits on 35 sections of highway totalling about 1,300 kilometres across the province. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said limits are being raised where traffic studies show the vast majority of traffic is already going faster than the posted limit. Around Revelstoke, the speed
limit on Highway 1 is being increased to 100 km/h from 90 km/h. The increase will affect 159 kilometres of highway in the region. The speed limit from Sicamous to Malakwa, which is currently 100 km/h, will be unchanged and the limit through Revelstoke and Sicamous will remain at 60 km/h. Speed limits through Mount Revelstoke and Glacier National Parks will remain the same, a Parks Canada spokesperson said. According to a survey conducted by the ministry, 54 per cent felt the speed limit should be increased from Salmon Arm to Revelstoke
and 61 per cent felt it should be increased from Revelstoke to Golden. The same survey indicated that the majority of drivers found slowmoving vehicles a safety concern on the Trans-Canada, while wildlife was of little concern. A driver study showed that 85 per cent of drivers travelled 103 km/h or slower on the Trans-Canada from Revelstoke to Golden. From Salmon Arm to Sicamous, the 85th percentile speed was 106 km/h. The 85th percentile is the predominant factor in setting speed limits throughout North America.
There is no change to the speed limit on Highway 23, despite the fact 61 per cent of respondents felt it should be increased. Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky of the Revelstoke RCMP expressed disappointment with the increase in speed limits. “My response is the police have committed to keeping the highways in B.C. much safer than they have been, and this goes counter to that in that just because they surveyed to say how fast people drive, doesn’t necessarily mean that’s a good solution to some of the highways, such as the one that passes through Revelstoke because sometimes it’s

nothing more than a paved wagon road,” he told the Times Review. He said some drivers will go 10 km/h over the speed limit because that’s what they think they can get away with. “So if they post 100 out there, now they’ll be doing 110,” he said. “That’s the concern, is they believe they have a 10 kilometre leeway. It’s not true — we can ticket for one kilometre over.” The B.C. Trucking Association, which opposed the move, says its member companies had “no appetite for higher speed limits” and

Revelstoke-based aircraft group deployed to forest fire in Northwest Territories Alex Cooper

The Revelstoke-based fleet of Air Tractor AT-802F Fire Boss aircraft were deployed to Campbell River before being sent to the Northwest Territories. BC Wildfire Management Branch Alan Mason, Laurie Donato, Ruth Boettger and Tony Scarcella gather at the new bus shelter outside the Revelstoke Seniors Centre. The woodframe shelter was built by Soul Wood Timber Frames, with wood from Take to Heart Specialty Wood Products. The $18,000 shelter was made possible by an AgeFriendly BC grant.

Alex Cooper/ Revelstoke Times Review
A new group of firefighting aircraft based out of Revelstoke has been deployed to the Northwest Territories to help battle a blaze near Hay River. The five plane airtanker group is new to Revelstoke and adds to the province's existing fleet of aircraft. It consists of a Cessna Grand Caravan bird dog and four Air Tractor AT-802F Fire Boss amphibious airtankers. The group augments Revelstoke's position as a firefighter base — two 20-person unit crews, five three-person initial attack crews and 10 support staff are already based here. Five pilots, two maintenance engineers and one air attack officer are attached to the planes. The Grand Caravan and Fire Boss' act in tandem, with the former
acting as a spotter over fires, while the latter collect water and dump it on the blaze. The Fire Boss' are capable of picking up more than 3,000 litres of water and be back on the way to a fire in less than 30 seconds. They can carry water, foam and fire retardant, depending on the situation. Foam slows the evaporation of the water, while the retardant suffocates the fire and slows its spread. The aircraft are designed to assist ground crews in extinguishing a blaze. The Revelstoke group flew its first mission on June 9, when it dropped 222,361 litres of water in 75 minutes on a fire near Schroeder Creek north of Kaslo. It was recently stationed in Campbell River before being deployed to the Northwest Territories. The aircraft are operated by contractor Conair Group.
What are firefighters up to? It’s been a slow start to the fire season throughout B.C., and especially in the Southeast Fire Centre, which encompasses the area from Mica south to the U.S. border, and from the Okanagan Highlands to the Alberta border. There have been 26 fires in the southeast so far this season that have burned a total of 33 hectares. Only one fire has been noteworthy — an 18 hectare fire near Elko that started on April 10. All but three fires were human caused. So, what have crews been up to while waiting for their first call? Jordan Turner, a fire information officer with the Southeast Fire Centre provided a rundown of their activities: — Fuel management on 30 hectares of land outside Golden;
— Clearing of underbrush in the caribou maternity pen north of Revelstoke to make grazing easier for the animals; — Trail building and maintenance for the Revelstoke Cycling Association, Golden Cycling Club, Revy Riders, Revelstoke ATV Club, Revelstoke Snowmobile Club, and more; — Building a new catchment trail near Revelstoke Mountain Resort; — Cut a load of firewood for a fundraiser for the BC Interior Forestry Museum. The fire danger throughout the southeast is mostly moderate, with some areas rated low and a few pockets rated high. Turner said forest fire activity is expected to build up in the coming days and weeks.

Arson suspected following Upper Arrow Heights fire ALEX COOPER
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
Charges of arson are being considered against a Revelstoke man following a fire in Upper Arrow Heights Thursday night. The incident began when RCMP were called to a disturbance on the 1500 block of Melnyk Road at around 10 p.m. on Thursday, July 3. "We attended and located a fire in the basement of a residence," said Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky. "Immediately the police officers went into the house trying to determine if anybody was inside. They did locate one male in the back of the house. "He was later arrested and may be facing charges of arson." Meanwhile, 24 firefighters in four fire trucks and two command vehicles responded to attack the blaze. Firefighters attacked the blaze from the outside of the home, while an interior attack team entered the basement to extinguish the flames there. A second team entered the home to search the second floor, said fire chief Rob Girard in a news

release. "It was a tricky fire for our crews as there were a number of 20-pound propane bottles and various fuels in the basement of the residence, making for a potentially dangerous situation and explosive situation for our firefighters and the adjacent neighbouring homes” he said. “Our quick fire attack made all the dif-

ference on this fire.” The lone male at the residence was arrested for causing a disturbance and the possibility he was responsible for the fire, said Grabinsky. Charges of arson are pending and the man is scheduled to appear in Salmon Arm court next week. The fire remains under investigation by the RCMP and Revel-
stoke Fire Rescue Services. This is the second fire at the home in a little more than two years. In June 2012, a man was burning material in his backyard when he left the fire unattended and it quickly spread and burnt down his shed. Girard said the two incidents are completely unrelated.
A 33-year-old man died after a crash on a logging road south of Revelstoke on Friday. RCMP say the incident happened on the Crawford Forest Service Road 22 kilometres south of Revelstoke at around 4 p.m. on July 4. Two men were riding their dirt bikes southbound when they crested a hill and encountered a northbound pickup truck. One motorcyclist was able to swerve and avoid the truck, but the other lost control and skidded his bike in front of the pickup. The rider, Mark Dickson, was knocked unconscious and had trouble breathing. It wasn’t long until he succumbed to his injuries. The crash is being investigated by the BC Coroner Service. The RCMP is reminding motorists to be careful while traveling on logging roads.
Speed limit increases to roll out this summer as crews post new signs Speed limits, from page 1 will likely direct their drivers to maintain their current speed policies in the name of safety and efficiency. President Louise Yako said association members fear a higher risk of crashes between trucks and other vehicles that will now increasingly travel at faster speeds, leaving less room for large trucks to take evasive action in an emergency. “People can make mistakes and use poor judgment,” Yako said, urging drivers to take extra care to give trucks room in light of the new limits. A pilot project will test variable speed limits depending on volume and weather conditions. Digital signs that can display different limits will be tested on a section of the
Trans-Canada from the Perry River Bridge to the junction of Highway 23 near Revelstoke. Variable speed limits will also be tested on portions of the Coquihalla and Sea-toSky highways. The pilot project will use sensors measuring weather, pavement conditions and traffic flow to adjust speed limits depending on conditions. An average of 6,000 vehicles drive the stretch of highway from Salmon Arm to Revelstoke daily. An average of 5,400 vehicles ply the route from Revelstoke to Golden. About a quarter of all traffic on both stretches of highway are commercial trucks. ***
SPEED LIMITS ARE INCREASING AROUND THE PROVINCE.
A new maximum speed of 120 km/h is being applied to the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Kamloops, the Okanagan Connector (Highway 97C) from Aspen Grove to Peachland and Highway 19 from Parksville to Campbell River. The Coquihalla sections get new 120 km/h signs this week, and more changes will roll out this summer as sign crews put up new limits. The Sea-to-Sky Highway gets an increase from 80 to 90 km/h from Horseshoe Bay to Squamish. Other increases are 80 to 100 km/h on Highway 3 from Manning Park West to Allison Pass, and 100 to 110 km/h on Highway 97C from
Merritt to Aspen Grove. In northern B.C., 52% of people taking part in public consultation did not support speed limit increases, and that region will not see changes. All other regions had support, the highest in the Lower Mainland at 81%. RCMP opposed increasing speed limits on rural highways. ICBC representatives also expressed safety concerns, and will monitor areas with higher limits to see if the severity of crashes increases. Ministry statistics show the number of serious crashes on provincial highways has decreased 28% since 2003, from a combination of improved vehicle technology, driver education and enforcement. The ministry accepted recommendations from RCMP repre-
sentatives to improve signs that encourage slower traffic to move to right lanes, and to clarify winter tire rules. The ministry is changing regulations to make tires with an “M&S” (mud and snow) symbol as well as those with a “mountain snowflake” (winter) symbol acceptable for roads requiring winter tires. New designs for wildlife warning signs, including lighted signs for high incident areas, are being installed. An updated sign reminding drivers to “Keep Right, Let Others Pass” is being installed, after people around the province expressed frustration about the slow vehicles in passing lanes.

Some children experience motion sickness while traveling in cars. There are ways to minimize this by having the child focus on things outside the car, using a pillow to keep the head still, providing adequate air ventilation. Depending on the child’s age, some medications may help. Some people swear by those acupressure wrist bands. They are non-medicated. Check with our pharmacists for advice.
If a nose bleed occurs while traveling (or at anytime), tilt the head forward and pinch the soft part of the nostrils for 5 minutes. If the nosebleed still hasn’t stopped, do it for another 5 minutes and if it still hasn’t stopped, get medical attention. One tip to see if your body has been getting enough fluid is to check the colour of your urine. If it’s a dark yellow, you probably need to drink
more water. During the hot days of summer, it’s important to drink more water since we lose a lot of fluid through sweating. People who have adopted a slovenly lifestyle for decades often feel it’s too late to change their health for the better. Not so! Just paying attention to four key healthy habits can change your health for the better no matter what your age. These habits
are: eating five or more fruits and vegetables daily, not smoking, exercising (even walking) 30 minutes per day five days per week, and keeping your weight in the healthy range. When you think of it, it’s not much. But your heart will thank you! Take charge of your own health and let our pharmacists be on your health team.

Mike Hooker earned $119,917 and claimed $11,413 in expenses. Former secretary-treasurer Barbara Ross made $107,093 and claimed $10,016 in expenses. The district's elementary school principals and district principal Earl Woodhurst earned about $97,000 each. The rest of the list includes the vice-principal of Revelstoke Secondary School, the district speech language pathologist, the school district psychologist, and the district elementary counsellor. In total, $3,385,623 in salaries were paid to the 40 people on the
list. School trustees were paid $8,022 each and board chair Alan Chell was paid $9,007. Jeff Nicholson claimed the most expenses at $2,883. Mauro Morrone claimed $2,686 in expenses, Chell claimed $2,171, Elmer Rorstad claimed $1,518 and Bryan Dubasov claimed $1,152. The numbers are for the 2012-13 school year — the latest for which information is available. There has been significant turnover in school district administration over the past few years, meaning the 2013-14 numbers are likely significantly different.

'Mountain Goat Masons' restoring Nels Nelsen ski jump Jacolyn Daniluck PARKS CANADA
A restoration project is underway at the historic Nels Nelsen ski jump in Mount Revelstoke National Park to repair the historic stone walls that form part of the ski jump after one had collapsed. “The Nels Nelsen ski area is a level two cultural resource in Mount Revelstoke and its story plays an important role in the history of the park,” said Claire Sieber, cultural resource management advisor. “When we discovered the walls needed restoration, we got to work.” With the work, Parks Canada is also supporting Canada’s National Conservation Plan (NCP) by taking action to enhance visitor experience and facilitating personal connections with Parks Canada places. To restore the walls back to their original condition, stone masons from Parks Canada’s Restoration Services Group in Manitoba came to Mount Revel-
stoke the week of June 16. Not quite ‘Mountain Goats’, historic restoration craft persons and masons Terry Danyleyko, Nick Bogovic and Ken Dreffs got their footing after working on site for about two weeks. They quickly learned to appreciate the challenges of working in a mountain environment. “On our first day, we stopped to enjoy the view - we had only dreamed of a view like this coming from Manitoba,” said Danyleyko. “Your perspective changes the higher you go... I love the mountains, but getting from point A to B is tough, you quickly appreciate the challenges in getting heavy supplies to the work site.” Scaffolding was put in place on the steep ski jump slope so the stone masons could reach the top of the stone walls safely to do repointing - that is, cutting out the old mortar and putting in new where necessary. Putting the scaffolding up was a difficult challenge for the crew and Terry said it was the steepest slope he had
ever worked on. The crew also repaired the collapsed wall using the original stones. About 90 per cent of original wall was saved and the remaining stones were found on site. When asked about the work location, Danyleyko said, “Everything is MacGuyver - you have to be creative and think on your feet. You can’t get more challenging terrain than this”. With the stone masons returned to Manitoba, next steps for the restoration project include securing the walls to the slope. This work will be done over the next two weeks and the Nels Nelsen ski jump site will be closed until Friday, July 25 due to overhead hazards and construction. The historic Nels Nelsen ski jump was the biggest natural ski jump hill in Canada and internationally recognized as one of the best in North America. Ski jumping records were set here in 1916, 1921, 1925, 1932 and 1933. The stone support walls for the jumps were constructed in the 1800s.

Sewage issue stings after seeing city salaries Editor, I was amazed to read in your paper what some of the city employees are being paid. If I was receiving Mike Thomas’ salary of $124,768, I would not be so concerned of having paid $901 out of $1,455.94 monthly O.A.P. and C.P.P. for the city’s sewer blockage outside of my property, which the city insists is my problem, not their’s. Not only did my property taxes go up by $181.42, but I’ve been told I will not be re-imbursed for the city’s sewer problem. The blockage was not in my system, but the city’s sewer system. Certainly my one vote will not make a lot of difference in the fall elections but I will not be voting for the current mayor and council. Their idea of where money is being spent is definitely NOT mine. Sophie M. Salva, Revelstoke Parks Canada staff celebrate Canada Day.
Editor’s note: Sophie Salva’s problem came up at the May 13 meeting of council. At that meeting, Mike Thomas, the director of engineering, told council that under the Local Government Act, the city wasn’t liable for sewer backups and that it was an issue for Salva to take up with her insurer. Salva told the Times Review that she had to pay for the plumbers to show up and detect the problem, and for two nights in a hotel room until the city fixed the issue. However, because there was no actual damage to her home, her insurer wasn’t compensating her for her expenses.
PARKS SAYS THANK YOU FOR CANADA DAY Editor, Thank you to everyone for making Canada Day special for Mount Revelstoke National Park! I would like to express my thanks to the City of Revelstoke for helping celebrate Mount Revelstoke National Park’s centennial by having this year’s Canada Day parade themed in our honour. We enjoyed being part of the parade and especially enjoyed the Cooper’s Foods entry featuring the historic Nels Nelsen ski jump area. We were also happy to bring a little bit

of Mount Revelstoke to the Queen Elizabeth Park festivities where we left many enthusiastic children with Parks Canada balloons and air-brush tattoos. A big thank you to Cathy English for presenting the history of the park to the Canada Day crowd and for the special Modern Bakeshop cake that featured a variety of wildflowers found in the park. We appreciate the 100-year relationship Mount Revelstoke National Park has with the City of Revelstoke and we look forward to 100 more years!

Drive-in proposal Roger Knox Black Press
The crowd at Enderby’s Starlight Drive-In Theatre got an extra bonus for the July 2 double feature. A marriage proposal. Revelstoke’s Tony Tomson and Stacey Lamont, who met online, were at the drive in for the fourth straight July 2. Like everybody else in their vehicles, they were there to see Tom Cruise star in Edge of Tomorrow, backed with 22 Jump Street. The couple, about to become coowners of Revelstoke’s Your Office and Art Centre, had their first date at the Starlight – Lamont had never been to a drive in, Tomson, a Salmon Arm native, had been to the Starlight many times – on July 2, 2011. Tomson took Lamont to see The Hangover 2 after a day at Salmon Arm’s Herald Provincial Park hiking to Margaret Falls and then dinner. Every July 2 since, Tomson and Lamont have recreated their first date with the night ending at the drive-in. “I knew I was going to do the
proposal at the drive in probably after our first year, when we went to the drive in the second time, July 2, 2012,” said Tomson, 36, a computer technician. “I knew this is what I wanted to do.” So, on July 2, the couple went back to Herald Park, had dinner in Salmon Arm, then drove to the southern outskirts of Enderby and settled in at the drive-in for the double feature. Tomson said he was very calm during the day, playing it cool. Lamont, 31, had no idea anything was going to happen. By the time they got to the drivein, Tomson started getting excited. His biggest challenge? Keeping Lamont away from the concession. “She wanted to get popcorn before the trailers and I’m like, ‘No, no, let’s watch the trailers,’ and she’s going, “What? Why?’” laughed Tomson. “She started to figure something was going on. That’s when the proposal came up on the big screen.” Normally, the Starlight plays an old Britney Spears Pepsi commercial before launching into the trailers. This time, up on the big white

screen, for all to see, was a picture of Lamont in her roller derby persona – Lumen, like light – and the question (well, actually a statement as there was an exclamation mark instead of a question mark): “Lumen #29...Will you marry me!” “It was left on screen for awhile and when I asked her to marry me when it came up, she didn’t hear me the first time because she was still crying,” said Tomson. “She said yes.” Tomson e-mailed the drive-in
owners in January about his plan, and co-owner Paul Lindquist happily obliged. “We thought it was pretty cool,” said Lindquist. “We’ve never done that before.” The only pre-proposal glitch was that the Starlight had to figure out how to convert Tomson’s slide image to run in its digital projector. Once they got it figured out, all that was left was to wait and hear Lamont’s response. “We loaded them up with
T-shirts, frisbees, all kinds of free stuff to say congratulations,” said Lindquist. “The place went nuts.” Lindquist has said the drive-in would be delighted to have the couple hold their marriage at its facility, but Tomson said that decision will be up to Lamont, as it’s her first marriage (Tomson has been married before). One thing is for certain... “We will be getting married on July 2,” said Tomson.
Special Olympics BC returning to Revelstoke after eight years Melissa Jameson
Special Olympics BC – Revelstoke
Special Olympics BC is returning to Revelstoke after an eightyear hiatus and the response from the community has been positive so far. “I’ve already found three potential volunteer coaches,” said Whitney Kendrick, the new SOBC – Revelstoke volunteer coordinator. Executive Committee members have set their sights on establishing bowling and aquatics programs in the fall and possibly alpine or nordic skiing, and curling for the winter. They also plan to develop youth programming through SOBC programs such as Active Start or FUNdamentals. The Active Start and FUNdamentals programs are new sport initiatives developed by Special Olympics BC to teach basic motor and sport skills through fun
and positive movement experiences for children with intellectual disabilities. Kendrick said she is excited about “giving our kids and youth a chance to experience sport in a supportive environment.” Craig Brown, the new SOBC – Revelstoke local coordinator was one of the first people contacted by Cyra Frisk, SOBC Manager, community development for Region 1, about restarting sport programs in Revelstoke. Brown, who is the executive director of the Community Connections Revelstoke Society, believes the community will be very supportive of having Special Olympics BC back in Revelstoke. “The agency I work with provides services for adults with developmental disabilities and from that involvement, I am aware of a group of individuals who may very well
want to participate,” Brown said. “As well, this community is known for its support of our clients and enthusiasm to be involved and make a difference, so I believe the response will be very positive. “Most exciting is being able to enable individuals to participate and to shine.” The executive, which started coming together in May, will now focus on developing a fundraising and a public relations campaign over the course of the summer. Much of this will fall under new SOBC – Revelstoke public relations coordinator, Melissa Jameson, who is also getting involved with Special Olympics for the first time. “I'm really looking forward to getting to know more about the organization,” Jameson said. “I think I'm most excited about the
Special Olympics BC – Revelstoke has already assembled a group of volunteer organizers and coaches. Contributed by Special Olympics BC
opportunities being provided, not only for the athletes, but for the community as a whole. It's a great way to bring together community and to celebrate abilities.” SOBC – Revelstoke is still looking for others to participate, either on the local board, as coaches or assistance with special events.
We’re Moving!
To get involved with SOBC – Revelstoke and help provide opportunities for local athletes, please contact members of the executive at sobc.revelstoke@gmail.com. Also, anyone interested in participating in Special Olympics, learn a new sport and make new friends, please contact us.

Special to the Times Review
Toronto-based indie band The Jessica Stuart Few are bringing their unique sound back to Revelstoke this weekend. Times Review freelancer Melissa Jameson spoke with Stuart about playing the koto, touring in Japan, and being nominated for Best Album by the 2014 Independent Music Awards. Melissa Jameson: Your music incorporates the traditional Japanese koto (13-stringed harp) that's not an instrument many North Americans are likely familiar with. Can you explain what it is and how you were introduced to the koto? Jessica Stuart: The koto is usually used in the kind of ancient music you would picture coming out of Asia. It's six feet long and the strings are strung horizontally. It works similar to a harp. Each string has a pitch. For me I knew about the koto ever since I can remember because my mother is a koto player. My parents lived in Japan for four years before my older sister and I were born. I grew up with my mom playing koto around the house so I thought everyone's mom played the koto. MJ: Your mom, Wendy, is also a musician. What inspiration has she led in terms of your own musical abilities?
JS: As far as the koto, for some reason I never identified with it when I was in Vancouver, which is where I grew up. I went to Japan with my family for my grade four year of elementary school. . . It certainly wasn't my mothers doing, it was just that it was around when I had an opportunity to study with my mother's sensei. As far as mom’s influence musically, it's huge because she has a deep understanding of a lot of different type of music. She is a classically trained pianist. My father also plays piano. I just had a musical household. MJ: You plan on ending your current tour with a collaborative performance with your mom at the Harbourfront Centre. JS: This is so exciting because we've never had a chance to do our musical stuff together. I've done a lot of musical things which are her arena growing up, but this is really special. I wrote some special material and she's going to join us on a few things. MJ: The Jessica Stuart Few are also currently nominated for Best Album by the 2014 Independent Music Awards. JS: That was a super honour because that's an international award. That was hugely unexpected and made me very happy. MJ: Jessica Stuart Few spent a considerable amount of time touring through Japan after releas-
ing your 2013 album there. What struck you most about Japanese audiences versus North American audiences? JS: It's totally different. In Canada you may go to bar and there will be live music playing and you didn't know about it. In Japan there is no music that happens without you knowing about it. When we played our very first show in Japan it was in a venue that had a capacity for 200 people. There were 100 people who showed up and they were all shoved up against stage as if it were an arena show. MJ: This is your second time performing at Music In the Plaza. Does performing at a venue more than once create expectations? JS: After you've done a bunch of touring you learn that nothing is for certain. One thing we do know about that stage and gazebo is the sound is really good — often we play these one set feature shows when we play festivals. We play all of our ‘hit set’. When we play Grizzly Plaza it's a three set gig so we get to pull out different material. It's cool for us [Jessica, Dan Fortin on bass and Tony Nesbitt-Larking on guitar], because we get to play around with the music, stretch it out, improvise.” The Jessica Stuart Few perform at Grizzly Plaza as part of the Summer Street Festival on Saturday, July 12.

REVELSTOKE TIMES Review Aquaducks make waves at Tsunami meet Eliza McGuire Revelstoke Aquaducks
This past weekend saw the Kamloops Tsunami host 14 teams from three different regions across the province, some from as far as Prince George. This heats-and-finals meet was a great reminder of all the fast swimming that goes on in other regions, as R E V E L S T O K E new competition emerged to push all the This October in Salmon Arm swimmers to go faster. For more information call 250-832-3647 The first day ended with three new Namaste Yoga Centre www.yogasalmonarm.com club records: Ryder Litke got his name up on the board for breaking Andrew Russell’s Division 1 boys 50m butterfly record OPEN MONDAY TO FRIDAY at 3:00pm from 1991, and SATURDAY at 2:00pm Beth Granstrom bettered her MEAT DRAW EVERY SATURDAY own record in the Division 4 from 3:00 - 5:00pm girls 200m individual medley.

KNOW YOUR LIMIT, PLAY WITHIN IT
19+ to play
previous record from 1984 held by Graham Gale, with Litke edging out LeBuke. Records aside, the best moment was after the race, when the two celebrated each other’s victories, taking what could have been a bitter moment and turning it into a mutual victory in a spectacular showing of sportsmanship from both boys. Day two started sunny, and remained so through preliminaries but clouded over as warm-ups for finals began. Ominous black clouds blocked the sun at the outdoor Brock pool, and soon wind and rain had taken over. Tents were lifted from the ground and heat sheets needed to be weighted down while umbrellas came out, but finals went on despite the crazy weather. However, crazy weather apparently brings out crazy-fast swimming in the Ducks as Granstrom broke a meet record in the 100m backstroke, and Brynn Hoshizaki moved up from fourth to claim second place right behind her. Right behind the girls were Litke and LeBuke who nabbed the top two spots — both under the old meet record and the club record set last weekend, with Litke bettering his record by just over a second. Finishing the meet second overall in team scores, the Ducks had a very successful weekend with many aggregates. Litke won a bronze aggregate for Division 1 boys and Megan Hoshizaki won a silver for Division 2 girls, joining her sister Brynn Hoshizaki who won a silver in the Division 4 girls category.
Jackson Litke (left) and James LeBuke both bettered a record time set in 1984. Contributed photo
Just in front of Brynn was Granstrom, who won a gold aggregate. In Division 4 boys, LeBuke won a silver aggregate behind Jackson Litke, who won gold. Gina Cinelli won a gold aggregate for Division 6 girls, and Emily Pfeiffer won a bronze aggregate for Division 7 girls. Rosemary Kellsal won a silver aggregate for Division 8 girls, while Eliza McGuire picked up the gold. Cam Molder tied for a silver aggregate in the Division 8 boys, and James Pilla ran away with a Gold aggregate to go with his multiple meet records. Next up is Golden, famous for its fun dress-up relays, next weekend.

The third race of the Arrow Helicopters XC series was notable for the large amount of baggy shorts seen amongst those registering. There was a simple explanation for the influx of new racers - the inclusion of our first ever enduro category during the event. This style of racing involves non-timed uphill transfer stages with timed descents. Ten riders took part with Marty Schaeffer (pictured) and Megan Rose taking the top honours. Given the positive reception I have a feeling this won’t be the last Enduro the RCA hosts.
Introducing enduro
18 racers took part in the traditional XC format. The course was challenging with two unique laps, long climbs and technical single track. For the second race in a row the winner came from the professional ranks. Current UCI XC Eliminator World Champion Australian Paul van der Ploeg led start to finish. He is training in Revelstoke in preparation for the North American portion of the World Cup season. Emily Unterberger was the top female racer. The next XC race is July 23rd — hope to see you out there! Words by Bart Jarmula, photo by Alex Cooper
