Out of the heat, into the cool

Swimmers bask in the coolness of Williamson Lake to escape from the heat wave that hit southern B.C. last week. The temperature reading at the Revelstoke airport peaked at 32.4 C on Sunday, July 13. Temperatures through the heat wave have been 6–8 degrees above normal, but not record levels, according to Environment Canada meteorologist Allan Coldwells. The hottest July 13 ever was in 1945 when the thermometer peaked at 37.2 C. Still, he noted that because of the weather station’s location at the airport, the recorded temperature is likely several degrees less than it was in town because of the cooling effect of the Columbia River. The ridge of high pressure causing the heat wave is expected to break down on Thursday, bringing temperatures back to normal levels in the mid-20s, and some rain too, which should be a relief for the province’s forest fire fighters.

Trustees respond to teachers’ passionate plea for support ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

They came, they spoke, they pleaded, and for an hour, Revelstoke school trustees sat there listening, mostly silent, save for board chair Alan Chell. Revelstoke teachers filled the board room in the basement of the Revelstoke School District building last Wednesday, there to support their colleague Sarah Newton, an elementary school teacher who wrote a passionate letter to the Board of Education in early June. They wanted an expression of support from the board. They wanted to hear their response to

Newton's letter. Her letter, which pre-dated the teachers' strike that pre-maturely ended the school year, expressed her frustration over recent events in negotiations between the B.C. government and the BC Teachers Federation. It was about how she felt disrespected by the government. About her disgust at being locked out of the school during recess and lunch — times she helps struggling students — and being docked 10 per cent of her pay because of this. Newton asked for the board to say they don't support the government's negotiating tactics and that it's harming public education. "I do feel the foundations of

B.C. society have been breached and education in our province is being undermined by the very department charged with its promotion," she told the board at the start of their July 9 meeting. She talked about the struggling students in her classroom that she tries to help, and how the lockout hurt them. "When will our trustees break with protocol and stand up to the tactics that our government believes will bring resolution to the teacher dispute?" she asked in her letter. "I'm asking you as trustees, I truly am," she told them in person. "You have an honourable and important role. You've been elected.

I've read your site about what a trustee does." It was Alan Chell who responded for the board. First, he apologized for not replying to Newton's letter, saying he was tied up in negotiations and faced with media blackouts. Then, he went into a lengthy prepared response on the roles of a trustee, the different groups they belong to and the state of negotiations. He spoke of the roles of the BC School Trustees Association, which acts as a provincial advocacy group for school trustees; and the role of the BC Public School Employers Association, the arm of trustees that served the role of

employer until its board was fired a year ago and replaced by a government-appointed administrator. He explained the money available for public sector unions is set by the Treasury Board and that the hands are tied by that mandate. And he talked about where the two sides stood in negotiations. It was a factual explanation, short on opinion. Chell explained the situation, but he didn't address Newton's request for a statement of support. And he was called out for it. "Is that your response to her letter, because you haven't answered

Tearing up the tracks Old railway tracks and ties lie piled up as workers take apart the old rail line that extended south of Fourth Street from the CP Rail Yard. The old spur line was mostly unused for years. A CP Rail spokesperson said the work was part of a nation-wide initiative by the company to clean up properties and right-of-ways throughout its network. Work includes repairing buildings, crossings and tracks. Locally, some beautification work and other improvements were done by the rail crossing at Mackenzie Avenue and Victoria Road. There are no future plans for the land the old tracks sat on, the spokesperson said, and it remains private property for now. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

The City of Revelstoke is updating its election bylaw by making more candidate information available, adding more advance-voting opportunities, and allowing voting by mail. The new bylaw was introduced and given first three readings by council on Tuesday, July 8. There was no debate on the changes. The bylaw makes several notable changes to the election process, most importantly to the number of voting opportunities available. They are: — A second day of advanced voting will be held three days before the election. Previously there was only one day of advance voting held 10 days prior to the election; — Special voting opportunities will be provided for voters who are residents in a seniors housing facility or patients in a hospital on voting days; — Voters with physical disabilities, illnesses or injuries that affect their ability to vote, and voters that expect to be away from Revelstoke on all voting days, can cast their ballot via mail, but they must apply in writing first to

be able to do so. — Candidates for council and mayor must put down a $50 deposit when they file their nomination papers. — All candidate nomination forms and endorsement forms will be posted on the City of Revelstoke website.

City to move tourist kiosks Council responded positively to a request by the Chamber of Commerce to move the two heritage kiosks located near the underpass where the railroad tracks cross Victoria Road. According to a staff report, the kiosks have seen declining number of visitors in recent years, making it harder to rent out advertising space. The kiosks were constructed by the city and the chamber rents out the advertising space to local businesses. It is expected to cost $750 to move each kiosk. A fully subscribed kiosk generates about $1,000 per year in advertising revenue. The location for the kiosks has yet to be determined. Council asked the enhancement committee be consulted on the new location.

Search for missing boaters enters second week Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

There were no signs of two boaters who went missing on Kinbasket Lake last Monday following a week of searching. Allen Healy, 60, of Osoyoos, B.C., and Michael Murphy, 55, of Mission, B.C., were reported missing after they didn't return from a fishing outing on July 7. They left in their 4-metre aluminum boat from the Mica Dam boat launch at around 6:30 p.m. and when they didn't return to their rooms that night, their co-workers reported them missing and a search was initiated. The two men were employees of Western Pacific Enterprises, a contractor working on the Mica Dam. BC Hydro personnel searched the shore lines that night and a Revelstoke Search & Rescue team flew to the area at first light the following morning. That first day turned up some clues in the area of Potlatch Bay — a cooler, some sandals and an oil slick — but the men and their boat were not found. On Friday morning, after three full days of searching, the hope of finding the men alive was gone and Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky said the search had gone from a rescue mission to a recovery effort. "The RCMP is focussing all resources on the water, where it is suspected that the two male boaters have drowned," he wrote in an

e-mail Friday morning. Ralstons Search & Recovery, an Idaho-based company that specializes in lake searches, was called in to scan the reservoir using sidescan sonar. In May, Ralstons successfully recovered the bodies of three teenagers 18 days after they drowned when their boat capsized on Slocan Lake and last week, before heading to Kinbasket Lake, they recovered the body of a man who drowned in Shuswap Lake last August. Ralstons and the RCMP spent the weekend scanning the lake around Potlatch Bay, but as of Monday morning, no signs of the men or their boat had turned up. "The end result over the weekend is we had no success locating either the boat and either one of the individuals and we continue today and likely tomorrow, at which times we have to make a decision whether we continue," Grabinsky said Monday morning. Murphy's family was amongst those who took part in the search last week. Some family members returned home, but others remained in Mica and Revelstoke after the weekend. “We’re trying to keep up good spirits and positive thoughts,” said Murphy’s son Richard last week. He set off to Mica Creek with his brother and sister within hours of hearing the news. Healy is also Richard’s uncle. “We got here [Tuesday] night

The recovery effort for two missing men is focused on this area of Kinbasket Lake.

and started searching,” said Richard, who was joined by a second brother and mother Wednesday. “We searched until it was dark.” Richard was expecting his father back for the August long weekend when they would have enjoyed a family reunion and a celebration to mark his parents’ 31st wedding anniversary.

“He was doing an extended trip because they were wrapping up a job.” Richard’s father, who works as an industrial electrician with Western Pacific Enterprises, has been servicing the site for six years. An outpouring of sympathy and support came on social media, with many people hoping for a quick

resolution to the search, even as it became apparent Murphy and Healy had likely drowned. The Kinbasket Reservoir is more than 200 metres deep near the Mica Dam and is still not at full pool. It stretches from Mica, 150 kilometres north of Revelstoke, almost to Valemount in the north and also extends south towards Golden.

Energy savings offered to lower-income families Tom Fletcher Black Press

BC Hydro and FortisBC are expanding their low-income energy conservation programs to reduce the impact of rising electricity costs. One program offers free energy saving kits, including compact fluorescent light bulbs, weatherstripping, thermometers to optimize operation of the fridge and freezer

and a high-efficiency shower head. The other offers free home energy evaluations to see if they home qualifies for an energy-efficient refrigerator or extra insulation. Energy Minister Bill Bennett said the government changed regulations to increase the low-income cutoff to qualify for the programs. A family of four earning up to $57,200 can now qualify, up from $44,000, a change Bennett said

will almost double the number of households who are eligible. The threshold for a two-person household is $47,100. Customers of the two utilities have to apply and provide proof of income to take advantage of the programs. Bennett said last November he would seek ways to provide extra help for lower-income customers when he unveiled a new BC

Hydro rate plan. That plan will see electricity rates rise by 28% over the next five years, with further increases to be determined at that time. BC Hydro has other energy-saving incentives that are not incometested, including a rebate program for installation of insulation, draftproofing, heat pumps and water heaters. Those require homeowners to pay for assessment to see if they

qualify for rebates. Bennett said BC Hydro spends $160 million a year on its whole range of energy efficiency programs, including those for commercial and industrial customers. The utility has set an "aggressive" goal to meet 78% of its demand growth through energy conservation, reducing the need to build new generating capacity, he said.

As we get older, our bodies break down alcohol more slowly. If you combine this with the fact that body water content also goes down, then a set amount of alcohol affects an older person much more than a younger one. Seniors must be very careful of the amount of alcohol they consume because it does interact with many drugs and can make some health conditions like diabetes worse.

When you go for your annual physical, be sure to ask for one of those occult blood test kits. These kits will test for blood in the stools and is part of the screening for colon cancer, the second most common cause of cancer deaths in Canada. Many people take drugs that reduce the amount of stomach acid. Many people also take calcium

supplements. Calcium is better absorbed in an acidic environment. Calcium carbonate is one of these. However, if your stomach acid is reduced, try calcium citrate for better absorption. By the way, this same consideration should be given to those who take vitamin B12 orally. This vitamin also needs stomach acid to absorb well. If you

do take stomach acidsuppressing drugs, you may be better off with B12 injections. There is a lot of science that goes into your medications. Knowing when to take the drug, the drug interactions, the side effects and desired outcomes... it’s our job to pass that information on to you. Use our pharmacy. Use our knowledge.

Crews battle forest fire near Golden Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Forest fire crews from Revelstoke are battling a remote blaze that started Thursday alongside the Kinbasket Lake northeast of Golden. Two three-person initial attack crews, six members of a local unit crew, 10 contract firefighters and a group of air tankers were sentto the scene of a 30-hectare fire 78 kilometres northeast of Golden on Friday, said Jordan Turner, a spokesperson with the Southeast Fire Centre. By Monday, the fire was under control, and it was being mopped up by the firefighters.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but Turner said it was likely sparked by a forestry crew working in the area. As of Monday morning, the fire danger rating around Revelstoke was extreme, with some areas rated high elsewhere in the region. Turner said the recent heat wave has caused the forests to dry out. The danger rating increased as the heat wave continued througout the week. There have been 36 fires that have burned a total of 64 ehctares throughout the Southeast Fire Centre so far this year, 28 of which were

person-caused. Currently only small campfires are allowed in the southeast. Turner urged people to be careful when starting a fire. With fire activity increasing throughout the province and the rest of the country, battling human-caused fires prevents crews from being deployed where they are badly needed. Last week, a 20-person unit crew from Revelstoke was deployed to help battle the raging Red Deer Creek fire southeast of Tumbler Ridge, B.C.

He was extracted from the vehicle by Revelstoke Highway Rescue and treated for minor injuries by paramedics. The driver of the semi also received minor injuries in the crash. The crash closed the highway for about two hours.

The driver of a car miraculously escaped injuries after colliding with a tractor-trailer unit on the TransCanada Highway through Revelstoke on Thursday morning, RCMP say. “To see the vehicle, you would not think a person would get out with minor injuries,” said Sgt. Hall of the Revelstoke RCMP.

The collision happened when the westbound Ford Taurus spun out of control and broadsided the semi on the Trans-Canada Highway near Alpine Lane at around 8:15 a.m. Thursday morning. Hall said that evidence from tire marks indicates the Ford caught the shoulder of the highway, causing him to spin out the control into the semi. Both the semi and the Ford

warrant a fine payable at City Hall. Currently the watering restrictions in Revelstoke are at Stage 1, which means: — If your house is odd numbered, you may use water on odd days from 6:00–10 am only. — If your house is even numbered, you may use water on even days from 6:00–10 am only. The use of water means sprinkling, irrigation, washing of driveways, sidewalks and vehicles. If further watering restrictions are required the City of Revelstoke will implement Stage 2 watering restrictions, which

means: — Hand watering of plant material only and will eliminate all other uses. Manager of legislative services Teresa LeRose stated, “The City takes the conservation of water seriously and will be providing a bylaw enforcement workshop for city staff and the Commissionaires intended to overview the regulations of enforcement.” City staff and the Commissionaires will begin the water smart enforcement immediately as water levels in the city reservoir have started to indicate a deficiency.

Council orders Jacobson Ford's new sign be taken down Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Jacobson Ford is being ordered by the City of Revelstoke to take down it's new sign after it was erected on city property without approval. A divided council voted last Tuesday, July 8, to have staff enforce the city's sign bylaw, but not without a lengthy debate and discussion that came down to a decision between working with the business and allowing the sign to stay; or enforcing the rules on a business that erected a sign without permission. According to a city staff report, the Jacobson Ford sign issue dates back to 2006, when a portable sign they put up was first identified as a problem. However, no action was taken until the fall of 2011, when the city sent Jacobson a letter saying the sign was illegal and asked it to be moved. The owner of the dealership met with city staff, but nothing came of the issue. In January, staff once again approached Jacobson about the portable sign. The sign was taken down and in May, a permanent sign was constructed on a concrete base on a grassy stretch of the city-owned boulevard alongside Victoria Road next to the dealership. "The City was not contacted prior to the work in the boulevard and did not approve the subject works," the report states. The city responded on June 11 by ordering Jacobson to take down the sign. Jacobson owner Mike Vandermeer replied on June 18 with a letter to mayor and council asking for permission to keep the sign. Vandermeer argued that the old sign was legal; that Jacobson maintains the boulevard at its own cost, thereby increasing its property value and the taxes it pays to the city; that there were no complaints about the sign, and that it was essential to business. "We have incurred significant expense to erect a sign that better represents our business," Vandermeer wrote. "For the reasons noted above, we ask for your support for us to be able to keep this sign in its present state." The letter was presented to council at its June 24 meeting, when it was referred to the Development Services Committee for a recommendation. The committee sent the matter back to council with the recommendation that staff enforce the sign bylaw. Vandermeer sent another letter to council, saying Jacobson had simply complied with what the city had asked for by replacing the temporary sign with a permanent one that better matched its building. He asked council to pass

a motion allowing road signs like Jacobson's, like the one in Salmon Arm. "They introduced a permit system for road signs such as ours. This set rules for businesses that wanted such signs and created a revenue stream for the City," he wrote. "We ask that you consider putting forth such a motion to allow permits for these signs and allow ours to remain in place for the duration. "After all, a business with no sign, is a sign of no business." Council's debate centred around several questions: Do you allow an exception to the rules if you deem the sign inoffensive, or the business too valuable? Or do you avoid setting precedent for other sign applications by enforcing the bylaw? In a 4–2 vote, council voted to have staff enforce the bylaw and order Jacobson to take down the sign — even though they agreed that the sign was attractive and better than what existed before. "I would wish we could withdraw this and let the sign stay as it is without enforcement, but I think regardless of who it is, if someone finds it offensive, or if it doesn't meet our bylaws, we still need to enforce it," said councillor Phil Welock. Coun. Steve Bender expressed worry that allowing the sign would set a precedent for other businesses to do as they please. "I am still concerned that if that goes through, if it is allowed to stay there, this council and following councils will constantly have problems with locations of signs," he said. Voting against the motion were Tony Scarcella and Gary Starling. Scarcella made the argument that business knows best. "That sign has been there for the past 10 years and I think Jacobson did it in good faith building that pad which looks

much, much better," he said. "That sign should stay." Later, he said that telling a business where and what to put on its sign was a "no-no". "Business knows more than anybody else where to put the sign and what to put on the sign," he said. "To take a sign out of an existing business and tell them they can't have their sign, it's a no-no." Starling was of the mind that the city should work with Jacobson to find a way for them to keep the new sign. He said the city should have acted on the sign in 2006 when it was first noticed as an issue — not wait until 2011. This sent a signal to Jacobson the sign was OK, he said. "I really struggle with this," he said. "I know we have bylaws and need to enforce them… In this case I think the sign was there for a long time and I don't see enforcement as the right action this time. I think we need to work with this owner and perhaps come up with a sign that falls within the bylaw and at the same time would please both parties." Mayor David Raven was cagey in his remarks, directing the debate by posing a series of questions to council. He said council could go back to approving signs on a case-by-case basis, which would be less efficient. He ended up voting alongside Bender, Welock and Linda Nixon to have the sign removed, agreeing with Bender's concerns about setting precedent that could affect staff's future dealings with council. "I am of mixed minds, myself, but what really irks me is the fact someone would build a sign on city property without asking," he said. Vandermeer was present at the meeting but he was not given a chance to speak. He left following the debate and has not returned calls for an interview.

Annoucing the Best of Revelstoke reader survey Where’s the best view in Revelstoke? Who serves the best pizza? Where’s the best place to go on a first date, or on an anniversary date? How about Revelstoke’s most dedicated volunteer? Or who’s the best mechanic in town? Which is your favourite spot for a quick lunch? These are a few of the questions we’re hoping to have answered in our Best of Revelstoke reader survey, which you can find on page 12 of this issue. Our goal is to find out what you residents love most about your home. The Best of Revelstoke is designed to reflect all aspects of life here. It’s about the best food and the best customer service. The best businesses and the best people. The best outdoor activities and the best places to unwind. We want to celebrate the best Revelstoke has to offer, in the minds of our readers. Sure, you could go on Yelp or Trip Advisor and read the ratings there, but there’s

no question about the best local politician on those sites. Or the Revelstokian you’d most like to share dinner with. You also get reviews from tourists and locals, which is great, but we want to hear from the people who live here, the people who have gone to the Modern and La Baguette and Sangha Bean and Timmy’s for their morning coffee and decided on a favourite after years of diligent taste testing. We want to hear from you because you’ve hiked every trail and you know exactly which one you’ll bring your out-oftown guests on when they come visit. And you know where you’ll go to share a plate of nachos afterward. You may be loathe to give away your favourite spots, afraid they’ll become more crowded. Don’t think of it that way — think of it as a celebration of the best the community has to offer. The survey will run in the paper throughout July and August, so there’s

plenty of time to get your answers in. It will also be available online; unfortunately we can’t provide a link yet, but once it is set up, we’ll share it on the Times Review website and on our Facebook page. We’re hoping for as many responses as possible so the results truly reflect what Revelstokians like. You can answer one question or all 51. Do you really want to win the title of best hairstylist?

LETTERS POLICY

Councillor responds to Sophie Salva’s letter Editor, In response to Sophie Salva’s letter on taxes and her sewage system issue (Sewage issue stings after seeing city salaries, July 9, 2014). Having to decide on sticking to the Local Government Act was one of the most difficult calls council has had to make. In such an issue, it feels right to say this is not fair to a citizen who seems to carry no blame for the blockage. If it were I in the same position, my first and probably second response would be the same. The third and final consideration falls into the category of council being the

L ET TER elected guardian of your tax dollars. (Although I am sure many of us may not feel that way at tax time.) Fortunately, the act provides for guards against having to spend your tax dollars to pay for many things that are not the city’s fault or financial responsibilities (ie; your responsibility as a taxpayer), such as: it is not a municipalities’ responsibility to clear snow from the mouth of driveways or shovel downtown sidewalks in front of privately owned buildings, pay to remove an illegal sign or,

cover damages for which an insurer will not pay. (Some things do get paid for by the city because polls say a vast majority of taxpayers want it.) I feel Sophies’ sense of unfairness. For the city to pay would be the empathetic thing to do, but speaking for myself it didn’t quite fit the criteria of the most fair decision for the greatest number. (It’s) the type of decision city staff and management have to make many times a day… always a tough call to make. Steve Bender. Councillor, City of Revelstoke

Letting drivers set speed limits

BC Views

by Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – “Fast is the new slow,” declared one Toronto newspaper’s front page when the B.C. government announced it is increasing speed limits around the province. The headline picked up on Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s justification for raising limits on 35 stretches of rural B.C. highway. Stone referred to traffic studies that show portions of the highway system where the vast majority of drivers already travel at the new speeds. Stone emphasized that accident risk is not so much a function of speed, but of differences in speed between vehicles. That’s why the signs going up this summer will include a new warning for left lane hogs: “Keep Right – Let Others Pass.” For the first time, there is a 120 km/h limit on three segments of rural divided highway, parts of the Coquihalla, the Okanagan Connector and a stretch between Parksville and Campbell River on Vancouver

Island. Having regularly driven up and down the B.C. Interior highway system for the past 30 years, I can confirm that particularly once you get “beyond Hope,” drivers do set the speed limit. In good conditions, it’s generally about 10 km over the posted maximum, particularly in the long spaces between communities where resources to do regular speed enforcement simply don’t exist. Improvements in the road system, and the modern vehicles that drive it, have been enormous. My last trip was in June, up the Fraser Canyon and on through the Cariboo to Prince George. The canyon offers some of the harshest road-building conditions in Canada, but even portions of that cliff-hanging, rock-and-tunnel road are getting increases from 90 to 100 km/h. There are two common assumptions about this move. One is that increasing the speed limit means people will automatically drive faster. The other is that higher speeds mean more accidents, or at least more severe accidents. The government downplayed opposition to this change, which Stone signalled last fall when he launched the public consultation. Police agencies don’t like it. ICBC officials are skeptical to say the least. ICBC’s latest rate increase was attributed mostly to cost pressure from higher injury payouts, and it will be tracking the sections of higher speed limit to see if the number of severe accidents goes up.

Swimmers of the Week

Speed wasn’t singled out when interim ICBC boss Mark Blucher made the case for an increase of nearly 5% on basic insurance last fall. One reason why claims for bodily injury, pain and suffering, future care and loss of earnings are going up is that more people are hiring lawyers. Another reason is distraction, not just from mobile devices but also more pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas. Are drivers getting worse? A recent report out of Saskatchewan suggests they are. In 2013, only 48% of new drivers in Saskatchewan passed their road test. The test hasn’t changed much in the past decade, and there are more immigrants who aren’t accustomed to highway driving, North America style. But a veteran driving instructor calls today’s new drivers “the weakest generation I’ve ever taught,” after they spent their formative passenger years watching TV or playing with game machines and other screens while on the road. “The awareness level isn’t where it was when I started 15 years ago,” Margot Podiluk told the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. “Today’s generation, they’re so connected to electronic devices they don’t look out of car windows.” If raising speed limits is a mistake, accident statistics will soon tell the tale. My expectation is that on rural highways, speed limits are just catching up to the traffic.

REVELSTOKE GRIZZLIES

Residents encouraged to heed “Bear in Area” signs Contributed by WILDSAFEBC

In the last few weeks there have been two separate incidents in Revelstoke where bears have either tried to enter houses or have actually broken in. Revelstoke has been lucky in the recent past; there have been no really serious conflicts with bears. However, this year looks set to a busy one for bears. “Two mild years with good wild food have probably increased the natural bear survival rate,” said Sue Davies, coordinator for WildSafeBC, “which means that pressure on town food sources will be on the increase. If bears come to town in search of food, it is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that they don’t find

anything.” So we know there are bears in Revelstoke, but where exactly? WildSafeBC is now making the presence of bears highly visible on the street. Observant residents of the Big Eddy, CPR hill, Columbia Park, Arrow Heights, and Red Devil Hill areas will have noticed bright yellow lawn signs stating that there is a bear in the area and asking that all bear attractants are secured. “I get to know where all the bears are because people report them to the RAPP line”, said Davies “and I wanted everyone else to know too. So I thought I’d put up those very visible signs. I’ll be putting them there only for a day or two, so if you see one you know there is a really good

reason to make sure your property is not going to be the one attracting the bear.” If you see a sign, please ensure that your garbage is locked away, your fruit trees are harvested, your barbeque is clean and locked away, your birdfeeder is taken down for the summer, outdoor fridges and freezers are secured against wildlife, and your pet and livestock food is securely stored. These are the primary things that bears and other wildlife such as coyotes tend to get into. For more information on managing wildlife attractants please visit www.wildsafebc.com. To report wildlife sightings or conflicts with wildlife please call the RAPP line at 1-877-952 7277.

Cheers to a long life! Len Threatful celebrated turning 103-yearsold last Thursday, July 10. Revelstoke’s oldest known resident, Threatful moved here 101 years ago and has stayed ever since. He celebrated his birthday with his wife Stephanie, who is 96-years-old. This September will mark their 75th anniversary, and they still live in the same Farwell home they raised their three children in. They both remain in good health. Len spends his days gardening, listening to the radio and keeping up with current events. He doesn’t believe in prescription pills and credits his longevity to good luck. Contributed

Trustees respond with letter to government, BCTF "What we do here is only a small little part. Most of the things get done behind closed doors. We're there as your advocate and we are supportive of the best quality education." He then introduced a motion calling on the board to send a letter to the government and the BCTF expressing their dissatisfaction with the state of bargaining and the impact its having on negotiations. It was carried unanimously and the letter was sent out the following day, signed by Alan Chell. "The Revelstoke Board of Educa-

tion is seriously concerned about the state of bargaining and the impact the strike/lock-out has already had on our students, our staff and our community," the letter states. "The Revelstoke Board of Education supports the BC School Trustees’ Association’s letter of June 23, 2014, which called for the parties to re-convene ongoing bargaining, mutually agree not to bargain through the media, and resolve the dispute prior to commencement of the 2014/15 school year."

said Jeff Colvin, a high school teacher. "She's saying, 'Can you see what we're up against? Can you feel for me?' You haven't said that to her yet. You said she deserved a response, and then your response is this." Chell replied: "What I'm trying to say is every one of us has our channels to try to influence the state of negotiations… We are doing what we can do to influence positively the state of negotiations." Trustee Elmer Rorstad spoke up, saying he was upset at what was happening. A former teacher, he said he could sympathize what they're going through. "It tears me apart to see there are disruptions affecting everyone — parents, students, teachers, staff and even us here sitting at the table," he said. "I have a history in the past of going through on the other side. I know the tensions involved and the emotions playing out. I hope that at the end of the day we come together and

can produce the same level of education that students have had until now." The teachers — about 20 of whom attended the meeting — continued to address the trustees. Lida Carey said her biggest concern was how the government was ignoring multiple court decisions ordering class size and composition be re-instated into the contract with teachers. Colleen Wall asked the trustees to "stand up for B.C. kids. We have to stand up for their education and as trustees, you are my voice." Jason Stevens, said he was losing his passion for the job because of the treatment he feels he receives from the government. The work he does outside the classrooms — coaching sports teams, supervising school dances, delivering a speech at graduation — isn’t acknowledged. "I just don't have the heart for it anymore," he said. "The way this government is acting illegally, and the public support we get, I just can't stand for this.” Catherine Lavelle received an applause for her words asking for commiseration and moral support

TrailStoke ultra-marathon sends runners on wild race through alpine Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Sixty kilometres. 3,000 metres of elevation gain. Endless climbs followed by beautiful ridge runs between towering peaks and around alpine lakes, with no trails in sight. That's what's in store for the more than 200 runners who are signed up to take part in the first ever TrailStoke ultra-marathon race in Revelstoke on Saturday. "I could see people probably having a hard time with their footing up there because they're looking at the view rather than where their feet are going," said Rory Luxmoore, one of the local runners who helped put together the race course. TrailStoke is organized by 5Peaks, a company that organizes trail races throughout Canada. The Revelstoke race is their main event for the year as they add the ultramarathon to their normal offering of five and 10 kilometres races that will take place on Sunday. The event is based at Revelstoke Mountain Resort and the weekend will also include a speaker series on Friday evening and a trail running expo at the mid-mountain lodge on Saturday during the race. "We like to encourage people to

get into trail running and be outside and be in nature. The more manageable, shorter distances are what our runners are looking for," said Maggie Scallion of 5Peaks. "As we've seen over the years, people are running more and longer distances and to offer a challenging, long-distance trail run, it's really good to provide as a goal for our runners." The main event is Saturday's ultra-marathon — a 60-kilometre route with 3,000 metres of elevation gain that will be mostly off-trail. The exact course was not set out as of press time, but the general plan was to have runners ascend Mount Mackenzie via the resort, then gain the long ridge that leads from the top of the resort out towards the basin between Mount Cartier and Ghost Peak. Runners will then return to the resort, travel through North Bowl and then descend back down the mountain. Luxmoore and Travis Hunt explored the course route last year when they hiked up Cartier and Ghost, before hiking towards Mount Mackenzie, where they had mountain bikes stashed for the ride back down. They described the terrain as open ridges covered in heather and dotted with alpine lakes. "There will be a couple of points

along the course where you really get that sense that 'Wow! I've done it. I'm up in the alpine,'" said Luxmoore. Runners will ascend along cat roads, but once they gain the alpine, they will be running through areas where there are no trails; the course will be flagged and First Aid attendants will be stationed along the route in case there's any trouble.

The wild nature of the terrain is part of the allure of the race. "I think for people that sign up it's part of the challenge," said Hunt. "They know it's not going to be a super fast run in spots, but that adds to the adventure and the wild feel." The race starts at 6 a.m. and the first runners are expected to finish at the Revelation Lodge at around

11 a.m. The gondola will run for free so people can go out and cheer on the racers as they finish, and take in the trail running expo. Revelstoke will be well-represented at the race, with Luxmoore, Hunt, Anne-Marie Gill, Michael Fallaise and Sarah Newton signed up for the individual race; and two teams signed up for the relay. The Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club is providing volunteers to help with the organization in exchange for a donation to the club; and Search & Rescue will be on standby in case someone needs to be evacuated, said Scallion. "It'll be quite challenging to keep all the bits together. We have a really great crew and there seems to be great support from the Revelstoke community," she said. On Sunday, there are five kilometre and 10 kilometre races starting from the day lodge, as well as shorter distances for kids. The weekend kicks off Friday evening with a speakers event featuring local runner and ski mountaineer Melanie Bernier; Adam Campbell, one of Canada's top ultra-runners; and Americans Max King and Adam Chase — two of the world's elite ultra-runners.

(Gertrude) Eileen Blais

Obituaries Roy Lloyd Short

(Gertrude) Eileen Blais, nee Ruckle, born March 3, 1926 and slipped free July 6, 2014. Mom was born on the family homestead in Celista, B.C. with the help of the local midwife, who extracted a promise from our grandfather that if the child were a girl, she would be named after herself, Gertrude Bragg. Our grandfather promised, but swore that the name Gertrude would never pass his lips - and it did not! Our mother grew up to be something of a rebel, and taught us all to be critical thinkers; she was an advocate of social justice long before there was such a term. Also of organic gardening, repurposing and recycling - she had an artist’s eye and skilled hands. When times were tough, and they often were, those talents were put to use. She could look at a much admired outfit in the catalogue and recreate it using an old coat or dress from a rummage sale for fabric; sweaters were unravelled and knit into new; our father’s army issue greatcoat became a pair of work pants worn for many, many years logging in the bush. Mom was the scourge of craft markets; she could walk through, see something she liked, turn it over and over in her hands, and then go home and reproduce it for herself. Likewise, a garden tour would end with wee slips of cuttings being pinched off and tucked in her purse, later to become their own handsome specimens. Her infectious sense of humour often bordered on the absurd, but infectious it was - on more than one occasion, our father walked into the house only to find every female in it doubled over with laughter, tears streaming down our faces, and promptly walked right back out. People watching was a pastime that she engaged in till the end - her observations pithy, insightful, and often terribly funny. Our mother was never shy with an opinion; she was an independent thinker who taught us to act on our beliefs.

She was generous to those in need, and despised hypocrisy in all its forms; she made us strong, and we are grateful for that. Her legacy will live on in her children, Marcia Miner (Clint), Ron Blais, Terri Smith (Dan) and Faye Cassia (Jim), grandchildren Tymbre and Tyler Miner, Vanessa (Blais) Wheatley, Jon Bredick, Maitland, Christopher and Logan Cassia, as well as her greatgrandchildren, Dallen, Braydon, Drey, Vienne, Nash, Ashlee, Tristan, Aidan and Deklen.

Roy Lloyd Short, surrounded by his loving family, passed peacefully away in Revelstoke, B.C. on July 5th, 2014 at the age of 87. He is predeceased by his brother Ted and parents Grover and Agnes. Roy was born in Birch Hills, Saskatchewan and remained a farmer at heart, living and raising his family on farms in Langley and Celista, B.C. He loved people and was a lifelong entrepreneur. He owned Macleods hardware stores in Chase and Golden, B.C., as well as the Golden Mohawk service station until his retirement in 1989. Roy’s favourite pastimes were travelling and spending time with his family. He enjoyed playing horseshoes and was an avid bowler, winning a gold medal in the BC Senior Games. For many years he had been a member of the Golden Lion’s Club and was a trustee for School Board 89 during the years he lived in Celista. Roy is survived by Phyllis, his wife of 64 years, whom he married June 30, 1950 in Langley B.C. He is missed dearly and lovingly remembered by his children: Steve (Gail) Short, Cheryl Clark, Cindy (Gord) Boettger, Kari (Les) Orme, Brian (Sonja) Short and Bob (Kiri) Short; and lives on in the hearts and lives of his 17 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. A celebration of Roy’s life will be held at a later date. The family would like to thank the many caregivers at Mount Cartier Court in Revelstoke for the excellent care and many kindnesses extended to Roy during his time there.

New exhibitions open at the Revelstoke Visual Art Centre MELISSA JAMESON

Special to the Times Review

If you're looking for a way to beat the heat, you may want to check out the new exhibitions on display at the Revelstoke Visual Art Centre. Local artist Rob Wilson has two very different exhibitions on show. This is the first time he has had his work displayed in Revelstoke. His exhibition titled 'Images of Golf' feature various images of the game. “I don't like golf, but I like to paint it,” said Wilson. “I'm a horrible golfer.” In stark contrast to his golf images, Wilson's other exhibition currently on display is titled 'Images of Social Justice'. Wilson's desire to paint social justice comes from an artist's perspective. “There's this guy, C.S. Lewis. He talks about the role of the arts to interpret the signs of the times,” said Wilson. “I started to be interested in doing a social justice theme.”

The pieces in this exhibition are Wilson's interpretation on various social justice themes. He says he does not have a background in social justice issues — instead he used his imagination, tidbits he had heard on the news, as well as experiences of seeing individuals he felt could be better served while visiting Vancouver's East Hastings neighbourhood. “Some things you just wonder,” said Wilson. Sharing space with 'Images of Golf' is a small but important exhibition titled 'Voices of Our Ancestors,' which was organized by the Aboriginal Education Committee. A follow-up to the Storytelling Festival which took place on June 21, the exhibition features the work of local artists including Toni Johnston, Ron Nixon, Andrew Stacey, and David Rooney. It also features the work of Gus Timoyakin who was part of the Storytelling Festival. “Our goals are focused around education and children, but it's important to see their identity reflected in the community,” said

Michele Cole, chairperson of the Aboriginal Education Committee. Cole said there is an emphasis on building on what is happening in the community and gave credit to Laura Stovel for being instrumental in organizing the exhibition. “We've had a real change in our community,” she said. “We are heading into writing a new Aboriginal Enhancement Agreement. We've had a plan the last five years and we are starting to see some of those goals being realized in a very visible way.” Featured on the back wall of the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre is a large mosaic completed by students at Revelstoke Secondary School. “The mosaic is meant to be put up at the high school,” said Cole. Also on display at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre is a members' exhibition titled 'Backyards and Alleys'. The exhibition features work by more than 15 local artists in a variety of media. The exhibitions will remain on display at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre until August 29.
