The Revelstoke Rod & Gun Club has applied for funding to rehabilitate the Bridge Creek spawning channel. The channel was once a major location for spawning kokanee, however the number of fish entering the channel has dwindled over the years to the point where no fish were spotted in 2012, only two in 2013 and only 20 last year. The club wants to clean up the channel to restore it as kokanee habitat, said president Gary Krestinsky. It has applied for $20,000 in funding from the Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program to do the work. "There's a number of factors that influence the kokanee return," he told the Times Review. “It could be the survival rate, it could be a low water year, it could be an impediment or bar-
riers. There's all sorts of reasons the kokanee returns fluctuate.� He added: "If we improve the spawning channel, then at least the habitat is improved so if the kokanee do return they have a better chance of spawning." The spawning channel was built more than 30 years ago through a collaboration between the Rod & Gun Club, Revelstoke Rotary Club and Ministry of the Environment. At its peak, as many as 50,000 fish entered the channel, according to records kept by Rotarian Sam Olynyk. "Over the years it has naturally silted in and the silt is getting to the point where the gravel that was put in during the project was becoming covered up and not usable," said Krestinsky. Bridge Creek is the site of the annual Kokanee Festival, where school children are brought to the spawning channel to observe the
kokanee and learn about the fish and nature. The Rod & Gun Club, North Columbia Environmental Society, BC Hydro, Parks Canada and Bear Aware all take part in the festival. The last few years, the children have shown up, but there hasn't been any fish. "It's a tremendous asset from an educational aspect, the sightseeing aspect, and there's a minor contribution to the kokanee population in the system," said Krestinsky. The channel is about 700-800 metres long, he said. Restoration work would be done in August, when the Ministry of the Environment allows for the work to take place. Krestinsky thanked the Revelstoke School District, Rotary Club, NCES and City of Revelstoke for writing letters of support for the project. "It's really a community effort," he said.

Revelstoke RCMP attended to multiple vehicle incidents in the evening of Sunday, Feb. 1. At approximately 7 p.m., police were called to an incident approximately 40 kilometres west of Revelstoke on the Trans-Canada Highway where two commercial tractor trailers struck each other head on. The eastbound truck lost control on the slippery surface and struck the westbound truck. Both vehicles sustained serious dam-
age in excess of $10,000 and were inoperable. Both required to be removed from the scene. Neither driver was injured as a result. Both were travelling at slow speeds. As a result of this incident, a further incident occurred where a passenger bus stopping for the original accident struck another tractor trailer. The incident caused enough damage that a replacement bus was required. No injuries resulted. The bus was also towed from the scene. Two further incidents were then reported on similar portions
of the highway. The accident resulted in a highway closure that ended at approximately 12:30 a.m. on Monday Feb. 2. On Highway 23 North, a vehicle experienced serious damage after being involved in a rock slide that occurred about 80 kilometres north of Revelstoke. No one was injured in the incident. Over the weekend there were a total of seven reported incidents to the police. The driving public is reminded to utilize proper winter tires and to drive to the conditions.

Trial underway for man accused of killing Daniel Levesque Jeff Bell
Victoria Times-Colonist
The trial for the man accused of first degree murder in connection with the death of Revelstoke youth Daniel Levesque began Wednesday in a Victoria courtroom. Joshua Tyler Bredo is charged with first degree murder, sexual assault and unlawful confinement in connection with Levesque's death following an altercation in a Victoria condominium on Aug. 3, 2011. Bredo pleaded not guilty to the charges. Here is a report of the first three days of the trial:
Day one Wednesday, Jan. 28 The day her 20-year-old son Daniel Jordan Levesque died, Stacey Thur had been texting back and forth with him and could sense his anticipation about what was happening in his life. He had travelled to Victoria from his home in Revelstoke with aspirations of making a career out of his music, his mother said. He was a largely self-taught musician and was especially talented as a guitarist and singer, she said. He told his mother he was looking forward to an orientation session that day for a job at a law firm and was preparing for a move to a new home. “He just said to me how excited he was and how everything was coming together,” Thur testified Wednesday on the first day of the B.C. Supreme Court trial of Joshua Tyler Bredo, accused of her son’s murder. Holding back tears, Thur said Levesque told her he would let her know how the day went, “so it was weird when I didn’t hear from him right away.” Instead, the events of Aug. 3, 2011, ended in Levesque’s death. At the time, police said Bredo had called 911 from his Cormorant Street apartment about 5 p.m. Both men were taken to hospital,
Levesque died there. Bredo, 26 at the time, was charged with second-degree murder, a charge that was stayed in December 2011 due to a lack of evidence. After further investigation, a charge of first-degree murder was sworn against Bredo in December 2012. Charges of sexual assault and unlawful confinement were added in 2013. Bredo, who has been in custody, has pleaded not guilty to all charges. His case is being heard by Justice Malcolm Macaulay in front of a six-man, six-woman jury, and could take up to seven weeks. In her opening statement, Crown prosecutor Paula Donnachie told the jury that Levesque moved to Victoria in June 2011. She said Levesque first met Bredo when he responded to a sign about a job vacancy posted at a downtown 7-Eleven that Bredo managed. “He hired him on the spot,” Donnachie said. Levesque and Bredo became close friends, she said. Messages exchanged between Bredo and other people made it apparent that Bredo “was falling hard for Daniel.” Bredo told Levesque about a job at a law firm that was supposedly owned by Bredo’s mother. But the law firm did not exist, Donnachie said. He also offered Levesque a free trip to Cuba that he claimed was already paid for, but no trip was ever booked, she said. During their investigation, police searched a computer and found that the user had been looking for information about how to “knock someone out cold,” Donnachie said. Thur, who still lives in Revelstoke, testified that the last time she saw her son in person was July 31, 2011, when they met on the Lower Mainland. The two were in contact almost daily, either by text or by phone, said Thur, who had a group of about 10 supporters in the courtroom’s public gallery. For a time, Victoria seemed like a good place for her son, Thur said. “He wanted to start fresh and
spread his wings, he felt Victoria was a good place to do that.”
Day two Thursday, Jan. 29 Katherine Graham had just arrived at her Cormorant Street condominium with her son and daughter on the afternoon of Aug. 3, 2011, when strange things began to happen. "I could see some vibrations in my kitchen wall, in my hallway, as well," she testified Thursday at the B.C. Supreme Court trial of Joshua Tyler Bredo for first-degree murder, sexual assault and unlawful confinement. Graham said she also heard a couple of loud bangs, and assumed all the commotion was coming from the neighbouring unit. She decided to look out the peephole of her front door, then saw the neighbour's front door open slightly. "I heard a man's voice say: 'Let me go, just let me go.' " Shortly after that, she heard sirens approaching the area. "At that point, I had a gut feeling that they were coming up to my floor." She was right, and police were soon there in numbers. Ambulance and fire-department personnel were also on the scene. Levesque and Bredo were taken to hospital, where Levesque died. Marie Barnes told the court that she and her husband were planning to finalize a rental deal with Levesque and his friend, then 18-year-old Jackson Yauck, the day Levesque died. She said she was surprised that only Yauck showed up for a 7:30 p.m. appointment to get the paperwork for the rental unit squared away. Unaware of what had happened, Yauck was sitting on the front steps of the building trying to reach Levesque by phone. Barnes said she and her husband had been impressed with Levesque and Yauck despite their youth, and agreed to rent to them despite some initial hesitation.
Daniel Levesque was 20 when he died following an altercation in a Victoria condominium on Aug. 3, 2011 file photo
"We were hoping for a young professional, someone a little older."
Day three Friday, Jan. 30 Hearing a recording of the 911 call made the day 20-year-old Daniel Jordan Levesque died was hard on his family and friends attending the third day of the trial of his accused murderer on Friday. There were tears and hugs in B.C. Supreme Court during the playing of the 14-minute recording from Aug. 3, 2011, during which a caller identifying himself as Joshua Bredo said Levesque had stabbed him and that he had responded by hitting Levesque in the head. Both men were taken to Victoria General Hospital, where Levesque died. During the 911 call, Bredo indicated through laboured breathing that he was in bad shape. “I’m bleeding from my stomach,” he said. Bredo said he was on the floor of a Cormorant Street condominium, while Levesque was on a couch. “We were doing drugs and we got into an argument,” Bredo said.
“I don’t know why this happened.” He said the drug being used was cocaine. Bredo, then 26, said Levesque appeared to be breathing, and explained to the 911 operator how the two were connected. “He works for me, too,” Bredo said. “He’s an employee.” Bredo had hired Levesque several weeks before as a clerk at a downtown 7-Eleven he managed. Victoria police arrived a short time after the call was placed. Const. Mike Niederlinski attended to Bredo while two of his colleagues were with Levesque. The other officers repositioned Levesque on the floor and turned him over, and Niederlinski could see that his face was grey and his lips were blue. During his initial treatment of Bredo, Niederlinski said, he was under the impression that Bredo was not only the 911 caller but also the victim in the incident. “He appeared critically injured,” Niederlinski said. “He was covered in blood.” The trial continued this week and could last up to seven weeks.

Revelstoke council agreed to move forward on a grant application to upgrade the Big Eddy Waterworks. "The city only has one opportunity to put an application in and we feel the Big Eddy water is extremely important and it has to be done properly," said Mayor Mark McKee during last Tuesday's council meeting. Council reviewed a report on the water system by the engineering firm MMM Group. The report recommends the city take control of the Big Eddy water system and sets out a 20-year, $5.7 million plan for upgrading the system. Council supported a staff recommendation that would see the city take over ownership of the system, apply for grant funding to conduct the necessary upgrades, charge any outstanding costs to Big Eddy water users, and to meet and seek approval from residents for the project. Big Eddy property owners would be charged an extra fee for any costs for upgrading the water system that aren't covered by grant funding. Mike Thomas, the city's director of engineering, boiled down the recommendations to four categories: 1. Upgrading supply capacity and security by building a dedicated feed to the reservoir, constructing a third well and upgrad-
ing existing wells and pumps. 2. Increasing storage capacity by constructing a second reservoir. This is the most costly item at $2 million 3. Upgrading the distribution system by replacing aging water mains over time, particularly to the industrial areas, where fire flow issues exist. 4. Improving monitoring and communication by installing a SCADA system that would work with the city's system. "On top of these major capital upgrades, we've also looked at asset management for the Big Eddy water utility as a whole," Thomas told council. The deadline to apply for the Small Communities Fund is February 18. Thomas said he expects it to take at least six months for senior levels of government to make decisions on which projects get funding. Once a funding decision is made, meetings will be held with Big Eddy residents. "From our perspective, moving forward on this without knowing whether we've got the grant is the difference between a resident paying $927 in the first year or $309 in the first year," he said. "We'd like to get some assurance whether we get that grant funding when we ask the residents to approve the charge." He noted other funding sources could be sought over the lifespan of the project to help ease the burden on residents. The staff recommendation
received unanimous support. "I think by moving forward and getting this in by deadline we're showing it's a priority," said councillor Aaron Orlando, who commended staff for its work. McKee noted the public would have to be involved in the process. "With the tight times frames, we want to put the application in knowing that the rest of the process will fall into place and nothing happens until we feel we have elector approval," he said. Don Hall, the chair of the Big Eddy Waterworks, said he disagreed with some aspects of the report, but "as long as they can get their funding, I've got no problems with it." He said he felt a dedicated pipe from the wells to the reservoir should be a priority, not a second reservoir. "My big concern is what are the residents paying for? Something that's not required to the year 2035, or something that's required over the next few years?" Hall said the water board will meet with the city, then with residents. The board's AGM is in April. "I'm glad something is in the works. Even if it's overkill, at least it's being looked after," he said. "It takes a big weight off my shoulder because I was wondering how I was going to accomplish all this." The MMM Group report can be at the Times Review website.

Mayor Mark McKee has secured a meeting with three members of the provincial cabinet to discuss issues relating to the Trans-Canada Highway. McKee told council he will be meeting with Minister of Transportation Todd Stone, Attorney General Suzanna Anton and East Kootenay MLA Bill Bennett, the Minister of Mines and Core Review, in Victoria on February 17. The meeting will be to "talk about this community and Golden's ideas on how we can reduce the amount of highway closures, reduce the length of time and hopefully make traveling on the Trans-Canada Highway a little bit safer," McKee said. Issues surrounding closures have been an ongoing concern, with serious crashes taking up to eight hours to clear due to delays having investigators attend the scenes of incidents. Over the recent holidays, two lengthy closures cause many trav-
elers to get stranded in Revelstoke, resulting in locals opening their homes to people unable to secure a hotel room during a busy tourism period. Stone was scheduled to be in Revelstoke on Monday, Feb. 2, for a helicopter flight over the Trans-Canada Highway. The flight took place after press time.

Chamber conduction business retention & expansion survey Alex Cooper
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce is conducting a business retention and expansion study to look at ways to support businesses in the community. “It goes through where the business is at, can they expand, is there anything standing in the way of expansion,” said Judy Goodman, the executive director of the chamber. “There’s also a section of what other businesses we can bring in that would complement your business.” The study is being conducted in partnership with the City of Revelstoke, Columbia Basin Trust, Community Futures and the Rural Development Institute at Selkirk College. Mark Rossi, a business student at UBC Okanagan, was hired to survey a cross-section of up to 200 businesses that represent the Revelstoke economy. “It’s a really good opportunity for me to get out there and see what businesses in Revelstoke are about and what they’re doing,” he said. “And it’s a good opportunity for the city to identify areas where things could be improved and what barriers businesses are facing to growth and expansion. To identify those things and provide ways to remove those obstacles moving forward.” The survey was formulated by the Columbia Basin Trust’s Rural

Development Institute. It is being used in communities throughout the basin and the results go into a central database. “We can benchmark how we’re doing against other communities,” said Goodman. Goodman said the goal is find out what can be done to help businesses expand. “Making sure that those busi-
nesses that want to grow in Revelstoke, stay in Revelstoke,” she said, adding that business owners looking to retire can also be supported. Community Futures provided the funding to hire Rossi to conduct the study. He will be interviewing business owners over the next several months.
From previous page ing, water drainage, and the way the owners ran the property as a seasonal rental in the past. The rest of council felt staff addressed those concerns and voted in favour of the application. "I firmly believe that our bylaw has been created to mitigate the problems that would arise from vacation use and it does give us a tool to police vacation rentals, so I support this bylaw," said coun. Trevor English. The Times Review missed a public hearing for a vacation rental application at 1766 Biatecki Road. The city received eight letters from neighbours opposing the application. Council will likely review the application at its Feb. 10 meeting.

The start to 2015 has been very busy so far in the CSRD. Following the election we have new representatives from Golden, Area A, Sicamous, Salmon Arm and Revelstoke. These include councillor Caleb Moss representing the Town of Golden, Karen Cathcart for Area A Rural Golden, councillor Chad Eliason for Salmon Arm, Mayor Terry Rysz of Sicamous and Mayor Mark McKee. Continuing are the Mayor of Salmon Arm, Nancy Cooper, and Electoral Directors Paul Demenok (Area C), Rene Talbot (Area D), Chair, Rhona Martin (Area E), and Larry Morgan (Area F) I am pleased with the new makeup of the board and look forward to a very productive term. Board appointments have been made and as well as being appointed to various CSRD committees I am the appointee to the BC Hydro Mica 6 and Revelestoke 6 Consultative Committee and all committees associated with the Columbia Basin including the Columbia River Treaty Local
Government Committee and the Columbia Basin Regional Advisory Committee. I was also appointed to the Board of Directors of the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) and remain as a Board Member of the Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust (SIDIT). As well as our regular board meetings so far, we have had two orientation sessions in Salmon Arm that have been especially helpful for our new members. Electoral Directors also attended a workshop in Richmond that is held for all provincial rural directors. This is a very important workshop which deals with issues province wide and allows directors an opportunity to network and discuss mutual topics of concern. Closer to home I expect a busy year as there are a number of applications to be dealt with ranging from crown referrals to re-zoning applications. A re-zoning request of interest is the application by Basecamp Developments Ltd (Eagle Pass Heliskiing) to rezone a parcel of land located on the west side of Highway 23S on the Begbie Bench from Rural Resource to Resort Commercial in order to construct a 12 bedroom lodge and operate their heli-ski operation from the site. Their current operation is situated at Echo Point Lodge, on Airport Way, eight kilometres south of Revelstoke. The applicants have already presented their plans to the Area B Advisory Planning Commission (APC) however due to the
fact that our new Zoning Bylaw No. 851 was adopted before the application process was complete, it is necessary to repeat the process. Following the information received from the public at the first APC meeting the applicants have substantially changed their application to deal with concerns raised by residents in the area. These changes will be presented at the next APC meeting which will be held in the near future. Please check the CSRD website (www.csrd.bc.ca) for the date if you are interested in attending. A public hearing on the application will follow at a later date. A top priority in Area B right now is to resolve the issue of water supply to residents in the Upper Airport bench who are currently getting their water from the Thomas Brook water system. Over the past few years residents have experienced serious issues when their water was compromised and it is imperative that a solution be found. This system either needs a complete upgrade or water needs to be supplied from another source. Since the onset of disruption to their water supply, discussions held with the Provincial Resort Development Branch, Interior Health, Revelstoke Mountain Resort, the City and the CSRD led to the conclusion that providing City water was the best solution. However, the past Mayor and council refused to change
their policy to provide city water outside their boundaries (at no cost to the municipal taxpayers) and Thomas Brook residents have not elected to join the city. I am hoping that a fresh perspective will lead to a resolution of this issue as soon as possible. Another top priority is to find a way to have meaningful public involvement as it relates to harvesting in the Revelstoke Area. Forestry is very important to the fabric of our community however we do need to have a balance of activity on crown land that includes non-forestry related activities including recreation. I attended the public presentation that was held January 13 by Stella- Jones and BC Timber Supply and I was pleased to see a large turnout. Basically the presentation was very well done and I’m sure people appreciated a Forestry 101 lesson. However I was disappointed about the lack of information provided regarding the actual harvesting plans and the lack of meaningful engagement with the public, especially not allowing questions from those in attendance. I have received numerous emails and phone calls regarding this issue and I am working on your behalf to find a better way to include other perspectives as it relates to land use planning in our area. If you have any questions or comments please call me at 250-837-5804 or email at lparker@csrd.bc.ca.

Mental health for children and youth - how to get the help you need
Mental Health by Dr. David Smith
For children and teenagers in British Columbia, coping well with the demands of school work, busy schedules and social relationships in today's chaotic world reflects resilient mental health. But some B.C. children and youth are unable to cope well with the daily stresses of their lives and the results can be debilitating or tragic. An estimated 13 per cent of youth in B.C. each year experience a mental health issue —that means
up to 83,700 children under the age of 19 in B.C. may be suffering. Studies show that receiving appropriate help at the right time may enable a child or youth to return to good health or prevent the escalation of symptoms, warding off larger crises or more chronic illnesses, and even at times saving young lives. But unfortunately, the majority of youth experiencing a mental health issue, or their families, do not seek help. Why is this? There are likely a number of key factors: youth and family may lack understanding about mental health issues or may be unable to recognise the symptoms of a mental health problem; they may not know how to access the right services, who to see, or how to navigate B.C.'s mental health system; they may be worried about possible stigma, or labelling, and hoping it is simply a "phase" that will pass. As an adolescent and adult psy-
chiatrist working for the last 11 years in Interior Health (IH), I appreciate how frightening and worrying it can be for youth and families when a mental health issue arises. But I also know that the right help can make all the difference and that good recovery is possible even with some of the most serious of mental health concerns. And "help" does not always mean treatment with medication. In fact, many mental health problems in children and youth can be very successfully treated with other techniques, particularly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which, in essence, teaches skills to address the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that underlie a mental health problem. Working with a group of mental health colleagues in the Interior and on Vancouver Island — including families with lived experience, mental health clinicians from the Ministry of Children
and Family Development, health authority professionals, school counsellors, family doctors, pediatricians and others — we have come up with a series of short columns to run in this paper to help youth and families recognize and understand some common mental health concerns. In 10 articles, we will talk about issues like anxiety, depression, substance use, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia and family support. We will help you recognize the symptoms and know when and how to seek help. We will talk about successful skills, actions and treatments. These columns, as well as running in your local paper, can also be found at www.sharedcareBC.ca so you can access them online or share with friends and family. Numerous high quality websites are producing up to date information about a wide variety of mental health concerns and in each column, we will link you to online
resources in B.C. for more information on each condition. A few excellent provincial sites to check out now include: openmindBC.ca; mindcheck.ca, forcesociety.ca, and keltymentalhealth.ca. Next column, we will talk about anxiety. Dr. David Smith is an adolescent and adult psychiatrist and the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health. This series of columns on common child and youth mental health issues is a project of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substances Use Collaborative. The Collaborative involves multiple individuals, organizations and ministries all working together to increase the number of children, youth, and their families receiving timely access to mental health services and support in the Interior Health and Vancouver Island regions. The Collaborative is jointly funded by Doctors of B.C. and the government of B.C.

ICBC frauds include fires, faked crashes TOM FLETCHER Black Press
If you've ever had a car insurance claim greeted with suspicion by ICBC, there are a few hundred reasons for that attitude. B.C.'s basic car insurance monopoly has released a report on fraud attempts from 2014, part of an estimated 10 to 15 per cent of insurance claims it says involve fraud or exaggeration. During the year, ICBC investigators referred 131 cases to Crown prosecutors for charges, with convictions in nine out of 10 of them. ICBC highlighted some of the efforts to obtain insurance coverage that should not have been paid, and how investigators responded. — A customer reported his truck was stolen at a movie theatre. The vehicle was recovered, burnt. A vehicle inspection showed the burnt truck had serious mechanical problems, contrary to what the customer told ICBC. The cus-
tomer's cellphone records revealed that he was at the scene where the burnt vehicle was found. The customer pleaded guilty to providing a false statement, was fined $4,000 and ordered to pay ICBC back more than $3,000 for investigative and claims costs. — A customer who was prohibited from driving claimed his vehicle had been stolen at the time it was involved in a three-vehicle crash. Forensic testing of residue on the vehicle's driver-side airbag revealed a DNA match to the customer and proved he was the driver at the time of the crash. The customer was found guilty of providing a false statement, fined $1,000 and ordered to pay ICBC back more than $18,000 in claims costs and total loss payments for the other two vehicles involved. — A customer told ICBC his Honda Civic was parked outside his home when it was struck by an unknown vehicle that fled the
scene. Damage was not consistent with a hit-and-run and paint flecks matching the customer's Civic were found embedded in a vehicle from another hit-and-run claim. When confronted with this evidence, the driver of the Civic admitted to making a false claim, as he had fled the crash scene after his vehicle struck another. Fine: $1,000, plus $5,600 in claim and repair costs. — A customer with only basic insurance and an expired driver's licence rear-ended another vehicle. The customer asked the driver in the other vehicle to tell ICBC the crash happened a day later so she could buy optional insurance, which would cover the damage to her vehicle. The other driver refused. The underinsured customer then bought optional insurance on her way home from the crash. She was assessed the $7,400 cost of repairs to both vehicles.

TIL DEATH: THE SIX WIVES OF HENRY VIII It all starts in the afterlife, in
a bizarre waiting room of sorts. One by one, the wives of Henry VIII arrive, much to the shock and dismay of each previous wife. What culminates is the heated frenzy of an ex-wives club where these women swap stories, toss Anne Boleyn’s head around, pick on the ugly German one and, most importantly, fight for the right to be acknowledged as Henry’s true bride and eternal partner. But when Henry arrives… everything changes.

Revelstoke in 1915 Alex Cooper
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
1915 was a year of transition for Revelstoke. It was the first full year of the First World War, and enthusiasm for the war was high, while life continued apace in town. "The war was very much on people's minds," said Cathy English during a Brown Bag history talk on Revelstoke in 1915 last week. 1914 closed with fireworks, an Italian band in the city centre, and ski, snowshoe and ice skating parties. 1915 began with a call for peace during Sunday service on Jan. 3. Of course, the war dominated the news. Early in the year, the 30th battalion, which included four local men, passed through town on its way from Victoria to the battlefields of France. On Jan. 23, Major-General Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia, visited Revelstoke. All the school children came out to wave the flag in a war-boosting effort. “He knew that those from Revelstoke who had gone or would go to the front would do their duty nobly and be a great credit to the city," the newspaper reported. On March 6, the Red Cross Society was formed. The society played a big role supporting the war effort sending care packages to soldiers in Europe and raising money for Belgian refugees.
On May 26, the community celebrated the entry of Italy into the war on the Allied side. Revelstoke's Italian community, led by the Italian band, marched down Mackenzie Avenue, accompanied by the Rocky Mountain Rangers, 54th Battalion recruits, the Boy Scouts, high school cadets and school children. In June, the town bade farewell to 53 recruits from the 54th Kootenay Battalion. They went to Vernon for training and on July 17, they left on the long trip to the front. The other major war event of that year was the establishment of an internment camp on Mount Revelstoke. Many citizens of the Austro-Hungarian empire, mostly of Ukrainian descent were interned there for several months. Nine Revelstokians died in war in 1915. On April 22, Leonard Carver, James Kenneth Forbes and Walter Ernest Robinson died during the Second Battle of Ypres. John Boyle died on April 24, Cecil Roy Brown on May 21, Walter Sydney Cowling on September 27, John Dochard on October 8, David Pyper on November 17, and William McInerny on December 28. The deaths brought the war home to Revelstoke. *** Life didn't stop because of the war. The city held elections on Jan. 16, with William Foote
elected mayor and EA Mackenrot, HJ McSorley, WA Smythe, GW Bell, FH Bourne and LC Masson elected Aldermen. More than 90 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot. Foote was a prominent builder responsible for the courthouse and several Mackenzie Avenue buildings, amongst others. There was a political squabble early in the year when the city let go of its plumbing inspector in a controversial belt-tightening move. Smythe asked: “Did mayor know that sewer was plugged at present?" The inspector was axed anyways. The biggest political story of the year was at the school board, when trustees decided to exert their influence over Central and Selkirk Schools. The reason? They felt the students were out of control and didn't show enough respect to their elders. The board wanted to appoint monitors to watch over students, who they said were using language that was "frequently disgusting in the extreme." The principals resigned in protest, and many teachers followed them. A petition demanding the principals be reinstated was signed by 480 people, to no avail. *** Revelstoke held its first winter carnival in February. The car-

Enchanted Forest, Sky Trek for sale Need some help clearing the snow?
Alex Cooper
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
After 25 years, Rocky and Juliet Ehlers have put the Enchanted Forest and Sky Trek up for sale. "It's been very enjoyable years and it's time we move on," said Rocky, who is 69. The popular tourist attractions, located on the Trans-Canada Highway about 25 kilometres west of Revelstoke, are listed for sale for $2.7 million. "It's been a rewarding 25 years and we grew the business quite a bit," said Rocky. "It's an attraction for people of all ages and we made it that way." According to its website, The Enchanted Forest opened on July 1, 1960, as a place for Doris Needham to showcase her fairy tale figurines. She and her husband Ernest searched for a location before finding the location on the highway about half way between Revelstoke and Sicamous. They slowly added attractions over the years, capitalizing on the increase in traffic that came with the opening of the Trans-Canada Highway through Rogers Pass in 1962. The Ehlers purchased the attraction in 1990 and continued to add to it, most notably building the wetlands boardwalk and the three-story treehouse, the tallest in British Columbia. They also added the Sky Trek Adventure Park next door, a series of ropes courses built amongst the treetops. "Building SkyTrek and learning how to climb trees and work in the treetops was an adventure," said Rocky. Rocky was a forester and Juliet was a nurse before they bought the attraction. Rocky said that on a busy day about 1,000 people will stop at

nival began on Feb. 8 with the unveiling of the Snow King, a behemoth 12-metre tall snowman carved by C.F. Tweedale of Salmon Arm. Mayor Foote delivered a supposedly endless speech about the Snow King. “He stands to us for all the blessings of Heaven’s own irrigation system, for our grand forest system, for our great white-coal or electric energy system, and for in large part the attractiveness and scenic beauty of this favored mountain home of ours," Foote orated. The carnival's highlight was the ski jumping competition, which turned into a contest between local hero Nels Nelsen, and Canadian Champion E. Engen. Nelsen emerged victorious, and afterward the two jumped hand-in-hand, "which excited the admiration of the spectators," the newspaper wrote. The town also hosted Nordic ski races, snowshoe races and a costume contest. Engen beat Nelsen in the eight mile Nordic race, while Anna Gunnarsen won the women's race. Jack McCarty, F. Fleming and Dick Lawrence won the costume contest by dressing up as an elephant. The other noteworthy sports event of the year was a charity baseball game between the Fats and the Leans. The Fats won 16–12, with a scout for the Detroit Tigers in attendance. The newspaper noted that some players had never played ball before. The

game raised $102 for the Red Cross. *** There were other noteworthy events in 1915. Construction of the Connaught Tunnel went ahead full steam and on Jan. 6 it was reported that a record was set by boring 104 metres in one month. Six men died that year during construction of the tunnel, including two that died when the fan that ventilated the tunnel burned out while the watchman was asleep. On April 4, much of the community of Comaplix caught fire when someone set fire to the mill. The fire destroyed 14 million feet of lumber, the Comaplix hotel, store, machine shop, stable, warehouse, dry kilns, lumber sheds, 17 homes and the steamer SS Revelstoke. The total damage was estimated at almost $500,000. The fire was started in three or four places across the lumber yard while the watchman was having dinner. Arson was suspected, but no one was ever charged. On August 17, a rock slide east of Golden smashed into a CP Rail engine. The fireman William Thomas McLennan was killed by the slide. CP Rail fought an attempt by the man's widow to be reimbursed for the cost of returning his body to his home of Montreal. After a lengthy dispute, the company paid out her $224.30 in travel expenses. This article is based on notes from Cathy English, the curator of the Revelstoke Museum & Archives.

When Garry Pendergast watched a Monster Theatre Company performance in Calgary last April, he knew he wanted to bring them to the Revelstoke Performing Arts Center. “It was incredible,” Pendergast says of the performance. And now, Monster Theatre is coming to town on Saturday, Feb. 7, boasting two very different shows. Tara Travis, the company’s artistic producer, actor and puppeteer, has a history of building kids shows. In 2000, award winning director/playwright Ryan Gladstone, the company’s founder and artistic director, had moved Monster Theatre from Calgary to Vancouver. “He was a little lonely,” Travis explained. “We met at a festival. Ryan was looking to expand into theatre for young audiences and our styles just matched. It was magic from the beginning.” Monster Theatre’s newest family friendly show, The Little Prince, will be performed in Revelstoke at 3 p.m. on Feb. 7. Written and directed by Gladstone and brought to life by actor Nancy Kenner and Travis, The play is based on the classic children’s novella by French author Antoine de Saint Exupery.
Exupery spent 27 months in North America during 1940 trying to convince the United States to join the war against Nazi Germany. At this time Exupery wrote The Little Prince, a story about a boy who has only ever known his tiny home, Asteroid 325, until he decides to explore the universe. The protagonist’s struggles parallel Exupery’s own situation. Since its publication, The Little Prince has sold more than 140 million copies worldwide and is France’s most read and translated story. “Ryan and I agreed The Little Prince is one of the greatest literary works of all time,” Travis said. “The story had affected both our lives. We’ve wanted to create a performance based on it for a long time, doing it justice but also playing with it and sharing it with audiences.” While the performance is mostly spoken in English, there is some French. “Monster Theatre is very self aware,” Travis said. “Actors are characters and have their own storyline amidst the telling of the tale.” Kenner, whose first language is French and who plays the Little Prince, uses French as a comic device, arguing the work should be performed in its original language. It is the company’s debut tour of The Little Prince, and so far it has been well received. “It’s
been a wonderful time,” Travis said, “and we evolve the work as we go. The audiences teach us a lot. Come to the show expecting a great time, come with an open mind and open heart.” Monster Theatre's later adult production, starting at 7:30 p.m., is the critical darling and award winning play, 'Til Death: The Six Wives of Henry VIII – a one woman play. Also written and directed by Gladstone and acted by Travis, 'Til Death debuted in 2012 at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival to rave reviews. Travis plays all six wives: The Betrayed Wife, The Scheming Wife, The Peacemaker, The Ugly German, The Slutty One, and The One in Love With Someone Else. Described as taking place in the afterlife’s waiting room, the wives learn they are dead and only one can enter into Royal Heaven. This results in story swapping and comparing, while the wives argue for the right to be acknowledged as Henry's eternal wife. “‘Til Death is a workout, but is so energizing,” Travis said. Written with Travis in mind, she admits that it is her favourite show in the world to perform. Tickets for both shows are available at the Revelstoke Visitors Center, Art First! and at the Revelstoke Arts Council website.

Revelstoke Grizzlies playoff hopes rebound after perfect week
COME VISIT THE NEW OWNERS
KATHLEEN & BRAD at your local
Alex Cooper
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Revelstoke Grizzlies picked up three wins last week, including a key victory over the 100 Mile House Wranglers, to climb within four points of a playoff spot with six games to go in the regular season. "We've been playing like that the last seven or eight games and I didn't feel we were being rewarded," said coach Ryan Parent following the week's action. "Now all of a sudden we're starting to get a little puck luck, the bounces are going our way and the goaltending has been really good." The Grizzlies kicked off the week on Tuesday, Jan. 27, when they hosted the Kelowna Chiefs. Revelstoke scored early and often as they cruised to a 5-0 win. Michael Roberts continued his hot streak with a goal just over three minutes into the first period. Steven Fiust made it 2-0 with two minutes left in the frame and Tyler Chavez-Leech put Revelstoke up by three with a power play goal with 38 seconds left in the first. Louie Federico got Revelstoke's fourth goal with help from Roberts and Nii Noi Tetteh at 8:48 of the second. Zach Paxman finished the scoring with a goal four minutes into the third. Chavez-Leech, Fiust and Tetteh all had two assists in the win. Goaltender Michael Lenko stopped all 15 shots he faced, while the Grizzlies peppered the Chiefs with 44 shots of their own. On Friday, the Grizzlies hosted the Summerland Steam in front of a packed house at the Forum. Fiust opened the scoring with a power play goal with seven minutes left in the first. The second period was quiet until the final few minutes, when the teams scored three times less than two minutes apart. First, Brady Mende picked up a power play marker

with 3:20 left in the period. Wyatt Gale got the Steam on the board less than two minutes later, but Chavez-Leech responded for the Grizzlies 12 seconds after to restore Revelstoke's two goal lead. Jack Mills scored for Summerland with 39 seconds left in the game to get the Steam within one, but the Grizzlies shut the door the rest of the way to skate away with the win. Aiden Doak returned from injury to make 28 saves in the Grizzlies net, while Fiust picked up three points in the win. On Saturday, Revelstoke and 100 Mile House faced off in Salmon Arm in a crucial game for the Grizzlies, who sat six points back of the Wranglers for the final playoff spot in the Doug Birks division prior to the game. The Grizzlies put on a dom-
inant performance, outshooting the Wranglers 40-18 en route to a 3-1 win. The Wranglers scored first, when Austin Turner put home a power play goal with Paxman sitting in the box. Chavez-Leech responded with two goals in the second period — the first unassisted and the second on the power play with help from Roberts and Kyle Baron. Josh Pilon made it 3-1 Revelstoke half way through the third period and Doak closed the door the rest of the way to seal the victory. Parent said the wins were the result of a collective effort by the whole team. "Our guys are dialled in now in the right direction," he said. “I think we're playing the right way every game." The Grizzlies now find themselves four points back of

the Wranglers, with one game in hand and five of six remaining games at home. "Our guys want to be in the playoffs and want to do that for each other," said Parent. On Tuesday, Revelstoke hosted the Sicamous Eagles, after press time. On Friday, the Kamloops Storm are in town, while on Saturday, Revelstoke hosts the North Okanagan Knights. On Monday, Feb. 9, the Grizzlies will play another key game against the Wranglers in 100 Mile House. They close out the season on Feb. 13 and 14 with home games against the Storm and Chase Heat respectively. Parent said every game is being treated as a must-win. "Every game's a playoff game for us. We've been playing playoff hockey for two weeks now."

New organizers needed to keep Glacier Challenge going Alex Cooper
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
The organizing committee of the Glacier Challenge is looking for support in putting on the annual slo-pitch tournament. "Last year we started doing some changeovers and it's time to move on," said Brad Beerling, who's chaired the Glacier Challenge committee for the past six years. "We're
looking for more people, some of the business people to get involved, step up and take over organizing it." Last year, a core group of four people made up the committee: Beerling, Mavis Cann of the Revelstoke Times Review, Graham Harper of Pharmasave, and Daniel Kellie of Glacier House Resort. All four of them have stepped down from the board. "For the first time since I was 15
I would like to have an August long weekend off," said Beerling. The organizing committee is holding it's AGM on March 11 and they're hoping business groups and service clubs that benefit from the busy weekend step up to the plate and take over the organization. Beerling said they have had initial meetings with other organizations. "The thing is the reception has been good," he said. "Every-
body wants the event to happen, just nobody wants to be involved with it." Attendance at the Glacier Challenge has been dwindling over time, from a peak of about 120 teams to about 80 in 2014. Judy Goodman, the executive director of the Chamber of Commerce, said almost all businesses that responded to a survey had positive reports from the Glacier Chal-
lenge weekend. She said they will be trying to put together a new board involving members of the service clubs that help with the tournament, like the Rotary Club and Revelstoke Ski Club. "We're going to try to make it more of a cooperative of NGOs," she said. Beerling said the committee meets monthly, then weekly as

the August long weekend approaches. They are responsible for things like organizing security, bringing in food vendors and hiring bands. They spend the entire Glacier Challenge weekend on site. For the past two years, an event coordinator was hired to help run things. "It doesn't take as much work as I think people think it does," Beerling said. "You're not committing a huge amount of time do it, other than the weekend when you're busy as all hell, but that's really it. "It's a great event for the community and it needs help organizing," he added.
