Amongst the wildflowers

Nike from Nigeria enjoys a break in the wildflowers while hiking in Mount Revelstoke National Park on the weekend. Nike was one of 65 new immigrants and international students who took part in Learn 2 Camp on the weekend — a nationwide initiative set up by Parks Canada in 2010. The participants were brought together by the International Students Activity Program at Thompson Rivers University, and Kamloops Immigration Services. With help of staff from Mountain Equipment Co-op, they set up camp near the Nels Nelsen Ski Jump and learned practical skills like setting up tents, cooking, lighting campfires, bear safety, fire safety and how to prepare for a hike. ~ Photo by Rob Buchanan, Parks Canada

Heli-ski lodge proposed for South Revelstoke area We don’t like to come after the fact and reward people who have gone forward and built something with a use that wasn’t according to the zoning bylaw. ~ Loni Parker, Area B Rural Revelstoke director ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com A controversial proposal has come forward to turn a new lodge near the base of Revelstoke Mountain Resort into a bou-

tique heli-skiing operation.

Hansford Land Corporation, the owner of the lodge at the end of Leidloff Road, applied to the Columbia Shuswap Regional District for an Official Community Plan amendment and re-zoning that would al-

low for the property to be used as a fivebedroom luxury heli-ski lodge.

However, the fact they built the lodge first and are seeking the re-zoning after the fact irks Loni Parker, the director for Area B Rural Revelstoke. She told the Review the

application is the result of a bylaw enforcement complaint.

"When they first started building, the information that was given to us was that it was a single-family dwelling," she said.

"These are the kinds of things that make all the director on the CSRD board irritated.

Clearly there are rules. They should have known what the zoning is in that area.

Personal histories

FOR THE THIRD INSTALMENT OF PERSONAL HISTORIES, WE SPEAK TO LONG-TIME RAILWAY WORKER LES HANDLEY, WHO FOLLOWED IN HIS GRANDFATHER'S FOOTSTEPS WHEN HE GOT A JOB FOR CP RAIL IN 1946

Les Handley: Working on the railway MELISSA JAMESON

Special to the Revelstoke Review It was an ultimatum set by his father that saw now retired train engineer Les Handley begin his career with the Canadian Pacific Railway almost 70 years ago.

“My father laid the law down, you either go to work or go you to school, one of the two,” Handley told me. “It (working for the railway) was in the family you know. My grandfather started out in 1899 in Winnipeg. Then he was working out of Minnedosa, Manitoba. That's where I was born. Dad started in 1913 delivering telegrams.”

In September 1946, at the age of 17, Handley moved to Field and started working as an engine wiper.

Now, at 86, Handley recalled how different it was to get a job during his youth.

“It wasn't like it is now. If you wanted a job, they'd take anybody,” he said.

Training was a bit different, too — you learned on the job. “You start out as what they call an engine wiper and you just do everything that no one else will do,” he said.

Being an engine wiper is how Handley started out. At that time trains still ran on steam. Handley explained that most of the steam engines in the B.C. division were oil burners, where the Alberta division burned coal. Fires had to be cleaned and all the ashes taken out each time an engine came in.

“That's what I did,” he said. “We lived in Mount Stephen House in Field. For that you paid $15 a month.”

It was a round-the-clock job, where the men worked seven days a week, changing shifts on a rotating schedule from days to nights, then to afternoons, and then back to days. Despite this seemingly gruelling schedule, Handley says it was a great time in Field.

“It was 75 cents a meal, but all of their meals had two prices. The CPR employees

Les Handley got his start on the railway as an enginer wipe in Field, B.C., in 1946. ~ Photo by Melissa Jameson paid the lowest and the tourists paid the highest price, I don't think you could get away with that now,” he said.

After nine months of working as an engine wiper, Handley was promoted to fireman. However, as Handley pointed out, you're simply an extra board fireman, which means relieving fireman with a permanent

position on-board an engine if they want a day off.

“They'd call you and you'd have to wait for somewhere to go,” he said. “In my case, the first trip I made was from Revelstoke to Field and then the next trip was from Revelstoke to Kamloops.

“So the fireman, you had to go wherever

your engineer went and eventually you get to the point of seniority where you could hold a steady job as fireman on freight service, yard engine, passenger service, something like that.”

Working on board a steam engine, meant having a lot of responsibilities, Handley explained.

“You (engineer) have an awful lot of responsibilities on there. You don't have any other way because you have to maintain the steam pressure for the fireman. He's got to maintain the boiler pressure, and you've got to watch the water level in the boiler and you've got to be the look out on that side of the engine, and you don't have any spare time.

“You were busy.”

Promoted again in 1967, Handley made just one trip as an engineer on a steam engine.

“Everything was all seniority basis, you just went. If your seniority entitled you to a job you went, you took it,” he said.

Of course, getting promoted to engineer meant taking an exam.

“The turnover was pretty high. A lot of the guys they never stayed long enough to worry about that [engineer exam]. It's 24 hours a day, seven days a week and you have, when you went to work you were gone until you got back. You might be gone for 24 hours, sometimes 18 or 36 but you had no choice, no say in the matter.”

For Handley, who eventually got married and had five children, the sometimes unpredictability of his engineer schedule was something the family had to adapt too as well.

“Your family had to adjust themselves,” he said. “I can tell you about the time we were gonna go somewhere, go for a picnic or something like that... then the phone rings and that's the end of that, duty calls.”

Public meeting scheduled for heli-ski lodge application Heli-ski, from page 1 reward people who have gone forward and built something with a use that wasn't according to the zoning bylaw."

The application was discussed by the CSRD Board of Directors at its meeting on Thursday, July 16.

There, they gave first reading to the application so it could be sent off to various agencies for referral, including Interior Health, the Area B Advisory Planning Commission and other government agencies and First Nations groups. A public hearing will be held at the community centre on Wednesday, Aug. 5, at 7 p.m.

The approval process would involve numerous items, including assessment of drinking water and sewage disposal; and studies looking at traffic flow, the impact on infrastructure, and numerous other items.

The property is currently on the Thomas Brook water system, which is under an Interior Health boil-water advisory. Area residents are currently exploring joining the City of Revelstoke in order to access city water and, possibly, sewer.

Hansford is proposing to use the property as a luxury boutique heli-ski lodge, with a heli-pad on site, similar to the Big Horn Lodge located at the base of Revelstoke Mountain Resort.

Parker said the CSRD chose to move ahead with first reading in order to get feedback from the various stakeholders, includ-

"We'll be able to see if that's the kind of use the people in the neighbourhood would like to see," she said. "If the neighbours say no, then (the owners) may end up with a very large single-family dwelling on their property. I don't want to pre-judge the results, but that could happen.

"If the public agrees and there's no issues with water and sewer and septic, then it

could go forward."

Elmer Rorstad, who lives just up the road from the property, first heard of the proposal when the Review called him for his opinion. He said he was against the heli-pad and the way the owners have gone about building the lodge.

"As a neighbour, we haven't been kept up on any of these things and to suddenly jump in to zone commercial, what does that

mean for the properties around it?" he said.

"Can we expect more traffic and can the area handle it?"

The Review reached Derek Lannie, a contact for the property owner, however he would not go on record about plans for the lodge, saying for legal reasons they wouldn't comment until the public hearing.

Area B wants people to legalize vacation rentals ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com There's an estimated 40 vacation rentals operating illegally in the Rural Revelstoke area, and now the regional government is hoping to bring them under control.

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District is hosting an open house about vacation rentals at the community centre this Thursday, July 23, at 7 p.m.

"This meeting is multi-purpose. Education is the key component," said Jan Thingsted, a planner with the CSRD. "Some peo-

ple are maybe not aware that what they're doing is not in compliance with the zoning bylaw. They may not be aware that their vacation rental does not comply. Some people are aware, but they're operating anyway."

The new zoning bylaw for Area B Rural Revelstoke allows for vacation rentals, but the property must have the proper zoning. They can have a maximum of five bedrooms and sleep a maximum of 10, with one parking stall per room and proper servicing for water and sewer.

Thingsted said that out of about 40 vacation rentals in the area, most are clustered

PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING The Hansford Land Corporation is pleased to host a public information meeting to discuss their application for rezoning and OCP amendments for their property at 1944 Leidloff Road, Area B in the CSRD - Legal Description: Lot A, Sec. 14, Tp. 23, Rge. 2, W6M, Plan 5575, Except Plans 5614, 10031 and 10533 from the current Rural Residential - 2 (RR2) to Resort Commercial - 2 (RC2).

Interested community members are most welcome to attend.

Meeting details: When: Wednesday, August 5, 2015, 7:00-9:00 PM Where: Revelstoke Community Centre (MacPherson Room) 600 Campbell Avenue, Revelstoke, B.C. If you have questions please call 250.200.0642

near Revelstoke Mountain Resort, and almost all are illegal. He said only two properties in Area B, both south of the Shelter Bay ferry, are actually zoned for vacation rentals.

The goal of Thursday's meeting is to let people know how to legalize their vacation rentals. The process is different for properties that are part of the Agricultural Land Reserve, and those that aren't.

"We're going to present options in terms of what can be done, what the timelines are and how the process works," Thingsted said. He recommends property owners

apply for a temporary use permit, which would allow them to operate for three years while they go through the re-zoning process.

Like the City of Revelstoke, the CSRD enforces vacation rentals on a complaintsdriven basis.

"If you're not conforming to the zoning bylaw, your neighbours should be able to say something about that," said Loni Parker, the director for Area B. "If you're negatively effected by it, you should be able to have some recourse, which is bylaw enforcement."

Capsule Comments With John Teed & David Lafreniere Vaccines are not just for kids.

Tetanus/diphtheria vaccine should be given every ten years. If you are a senior, you should have a pneumococcal vaccine. It is also recommended that those over the age of 60 should have a shingles vaccine shot whether they have had chickenpox as a child or not.

This is a one-time vaccination and is effective in preventing the pain and discomfort that shingles can bring.

The City of Revelstoke wants to have the intersection at Victoria Road and the Trans-Canada Highway fixed by the winter of 2016, but first it needs to find a solution that will be happy to all the stakeholders.

“Generally what I’ve found is none of the options we’ve looked at so far have provided an excellent outcome for all the stakeholders,” said Mike Thomas, the director of engineering, during an update provided to council at its July 14 meeting.

As has been the case most summers in recent memory, the intersection has become chaotic at times as drivers try to make the left turn to get to McDonald's, Tim Hortons, or A&W. At the busiest times, on summer long weekends, the local businesses have contracted people to conduct traffic control.

“From recent discussions and from observations, the need may be even exceeding that," said Thomas.

In fact, he said, the average summer highway traffic went up 14 per cent between 2004 and 2014.

Thomas said he's come up with several designs that he's passed on to the Ministry of Transportation.

Some were rejected quickly, while others made their way up through the bureaucracy, he said.

The city has budgeted $50,000 this year to hire a contractor to design the intersection. A key aspect

of that work will be consulting with the public and key stakeholders on a design that will ideally satisfy everyone. Unfortunately, it won't be easy to please everyone.

One solution that was proposed a few years ago in the draft transportation plan was a system of roundabouts — one at Victoria Road and Wright Street, and the other at Laforme Boulevard and the Chevron station. The plan would include blocking off left-turn access to McDonald's, A&W and the Shell Station. It's a solution that satisfies the Ministry of Transportation, but not the businesses.

Thomas said community and stakeholder consultation is the most critical part of the design process.

"The actual design, once we’ve come up with a couple of concepts, is relatively easy," he said. “We want to get the best possible solution for the best dollar value that we can.”

The goal is to have a design created this year, with construction to begin after Labour Day weekend 2016.

How much this will cost the city depends on how much they can get from grant funding, and what ends up being contributed from Development Cost Charges. Right now the city has budgeted $500,000 to complete the work next year.

Local national parks get $156.6 million in funding ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Mount Revelstoke & Glacier National Parks have received more than $150 million for infrastructure upgrades, including money for highway improvements, avalanche mitigation, trail rehabilitation, and visitor centre renovations.

David Wilks, the MP for Kootenay-Columbia, and Dr. Colin Carrie, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of the Environment, announced the funding at the Monashee Lookout in Mount Revelstoke National Park last Thursday morning.

With a blue backdrop that featured the Parks Canada logo and the Conservative government's jobs messaging, Wilks and Carrie announced the $156.6 million in spending. Some of it is for work that is already complete or underway.

"These investments will make an important contribution to the local and regional economy," said Wilks. "They will ensure the reliability of essential infrastructure, which will allow Canadians to experience significant national and cultural heritage first hand, and facilitate the movement of people and goods across our countries."

The funding breakdown is as follows: — $77 million for avalanche mitigation work in Glacier National Park. This includes adding two kilometre traffic holding areas in the Beaver Valley and on Beaver Hill, and extending the Rogers Pass holding area,

— $700,000 to upgrade day use areas along the Trans-Canada Highway.

— $540,000 to improve the trail network in the Illecilleweat area of Glacier National Park.

— $445,000 to rehabilitate the trails at the summit area of Mount Revelstoke National Park.

The funding comes from a $2.8 billion fund for infrastructure improvements in national parks and historic sites announced last November.

Some of the funding is for projects that were started last summer, a Parks Canada spokesperson told the Review. That includes work on one of the Illecillewaet River bridges, work on the Woolsey Creek Bridge (which was just completed), and highway paving, guardrail replacement, and slope stabilization on the highway in both parks.

Notably absent from the announcement was funding to four-lane the highway through the parks. Wilks said he made a $5 billion request to have the work done, but it wasn't made part of this year's budget. He said he would continue to advocate for the funding in the future.

Norm Macdonald The British Columbia Legislature has been recalled this summer to pass legislation related to Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). If one chooses to take the time to do a bit of investigation of the promises made by the BC Liberals in the 2013 election about the development of a BC LNG industry, you soon discover that these declarations were both irresponsible and untrue.

The BC Liberals have, in fact, signed a 25-year sellout of British Columbia’s resources.

This is a sellout of our finite natural resources for the next generation with

practically no benefit to British Columbians. The only benefit to this bill is that it helps Christy Clark politically, assuming one does not look too carefully at the deal.

You may not believe me, but you must consider a quote from Martyn Brown, a prominent BC Liberal who served as Gordon Campbell’s Chief of Staff for almost a decade.

Martyn Brown said, “The fine print of that deal will commit our province to a course that is environmentally reckless, fiscally foolhardy, and socially irresponsible. I say that as someone generally supportive of the merits of LNG development, to the extent that it is invited without giving up more than we collectively stand to gain.”

The BC Liberals promised 100,000 jobs, one LNG plant by 2015 with a dozen to follow, a $1 billion prosperity fund, an end to the provincial sales tax, the cleanest LNG in the world, and the elimination of the provincial debt.

None of those promises were honestly made and the BC Liberals have put themselves in a corner where they are desperate to get anything that they can spin as a deal. And that desperation has led to a

massive sellout to foreign state-owned Petronas.

This is the deal that I am debating this summer in an emergency piece of legislation put forward by the BC Liberals.

The legislation is a deal that locks in extremely low tax rates for over 25 years, has no job guarantees for BC or Canadian workers, and allows up to 70% of the work to be done by foreign workers. There are no apprenticeship requirements and it offers no role for First Nations.

The BC Liberals say it is a $38 billion investment with $9 billion coming in government revenue. But again, this is not any thing approaching the truth.

Martyn Brown doesn’t mince words when talking about this deal, and neither will I. There is no question. This deal is a bad agreement for British Columbia and British Columbians, signed entirely for political purposes with no care for the consequences for citizens today or into the future. These are the facts.

Wilks needs to show up The election campaign hasn't officially started, but really, it's already begun. NDP candidate Wayne Stetski launched the first volley with his eight-debate challenge. He knew Conservative MP David Wilks wouldn't accept and that he would score a few points. Wilks helped him out by making some non-sensical answers to local media. To the Fernie Free Press, he said Stetski should spend more time defending NDP policies, and less on debate schedules. Of course, debates are a great forum for all candidates to both promote and defend their own policies, and attack their opponents. That goes for everyone.

To the Nelson Star, Wilks said he was too busy serving his constituents to worry about debate schedules right now. He repeated that point to me — that until the writ is dropped he is focused on his constituents. This appears to mean he's busy driving around the riding, handing out cheques — some for work that's already been done.

He said that he needs to go out and give out that money before the writ is dropped so projects can be started, but if that were the case, how could Parks Canada have finished some work on the Trans-Canada Highway before the funding was even announced last week?

David Wilks holds the huge advantage of being the incumbent in a largely Conservative riding. He shouldn't have too much to be worried about, particularly with three candidates splitting the vote on the left.

Still, he should show respect for the electorate and our democracy by taking part in the debates, and that includes delegating one of his staffers to craft a schedule. The debates provide the best opportunity for as many people to ask questions and get answers from our candidates in the most efficient manner possible by getting then all together in one room.

Flipping burgers just doesn't cut it.

Crashes spark tour bus safety review TOM FLETCHER Black Press

A recent tour bus crash on the Coquihalla Highway that injured 30 passengers and threw the driver out through the windshield has prompted

a review of motor coach safety in B.C. One likely change is the requirement for seatbelts in motor coaches, which has been adopted south of the border. A 2013 survey of motor coach operators by the B.C. Trucking Association found that most B.C. com-

panies support mandatory seatbelts, and many have already introduced them.

New U.S. government regulations take effect in 2016, requiring new motor coaches to have three-point lap and shoulder seat belts on passenger Tour buses are a key part of B.C.'s tourism industry, and most companies support mandatory seat belts. ~ Photo Black Press

We’re building the path to the future.

seats. The U.S. regulation does not extend to transit and school buses, and does not require retrofitting of existing buses.

Announcing the safety review Thursday, Transportation Minister Todd Stone referred to the June 27 collision on the Coquihalla Highway, and another on the same highway a year earlier.

Stone stressed that despite those incidents, commercial vehicle crashes in B.C. have declined by 24 per cent in the past decade, thanks to strict licensing and vehicle inspection programs.

Stone said the review will look at other measures such as mandatory rest periods for drivers.

Doug Switzer, CEO of national industry group Motor Coach Canada, said most safety regulations are set by the federal government, and consistent from province to province. He said the Canadian industry supports introducing seatbelts.

"Whether or not people will wear them is another issue, but we would certainly support making seatbelts mandatory on all new coaches," Switzer told CBC radio. "That's probably the biggest thing we can do to reduce the impact of collisions when they do occur."

One issue for the industry is enforcement, and whether the driver can be ticketed if bus passengers don't wear their seatbelts.

Transport Canada's position has been that school buses are safe with closely spaced, high-back seats that reduce passenger impact in collisions.

RCRW completes second maternity pen release CONTRIBUTED BY

Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild Seventeen adults, 11 calves (three to six weeks old) and one juvenile caribou were recently released from a maternal pen near Revelstoke.

The release is part of a multi-stakeholder pilot project by the Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild Society (RCRW) aimed at increasing the number of endangered mountain caribou in the Columbia Mountains. Maternal penning is designed to increase calf survival by protecting cows and calves from predation during late gestation and the first few weeks of life Adult female caribou were captured in April and transported to a predator-resistant enclosure and have been tended by shepherds. The released animals have now moved into their natural highelevation summer range and will be monitored for the next eight months using satellite-linked collars.

During captivity there were five mortalities — an adult cow and four calves. The causes of these deaths varied. An adult cow and her calf died due to poor physical condition, while three other calves died as a result of abandonment, injury (consistent with trampling) and infection, respectively.

From the beginning, the project has implemented professionally reviewed standards of care.

In the interest of improving care and gaining insight into sources of caribou mortality, a wildlife veterinarian re-assessed the caribou, the site and procedures. Recommendations from this assessment were implemented immediately, including more rigorous quarantine measures, increased frequency of water changes, removal of standing water, decreased disturbance and early release.

“We thank the dedicated wildlife veterinarians who provided assistance at all hours of the day and night” said Kelsey Furk, President of RCRW. “We continue to work with qualified biologists and veterinarians to learn from our experiences and use this knowledge to support ongoing conservation efforts.”

Currently, there are approximately 120 caribou in the Columbia North herd. The recovery goal is to increase the population to a self-sustaining level of 250 caribou.

In 2014, the program's first year of operation, 10 female caribou and two 10-month old calves were captured; nine more calves were born inside the pen. Unfortunately, only two calves survived the winter after their release from the pen. Organizers are hoping for better survival rates in year two.

RCRW is a community-based partnership that includes the Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation, Splatsin First Nation, the North Columbia Environmental Society, the Revelstoke Snowmobile Club, Mica Heli Guides, the Province of BC and the Columbia Mountains Caribou Research Project.

The maternity penning project is grateful to the many dedicated volunteers and funders that make this project possible. Major supporters include the Government of Canada, Parks Canada, the Province of BC, the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program, the Revelstoke Community Forestry Corporation, Columbia Basin Trust, Shell Canada, Golder and Associates Ltd., Downie Timber and Selkirk Tangiers Heliskiing.

Public engagement encouraged on shopping centre proposal ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The public is being encouraged to provide input on a proposal to build a shopping centre along the Trans-Canada Highway through Revelstoke.

"I think this is a really important development for the community," said councillor Connie Brothers during Tuesday's council meeting. "I’m all for people putting in their comments as soon as possible to give council the feeling how the public feels about this.”

Hall Pacific Enterprises proposes to develop a shopping centre that would include a grocery store and a pharmacy as anchor retailers. The shopping centre would be located on two large empty lots off the highway along Bend Road. It was previously slated for a hotel-and-restaurant development before the owner, Steve Platt, dropped his plans.

Now, a new developer has come forward.

Council discussed the proposal in public for the first time at its July 14 meeting.

There, Dean Strachan, the city's manager of development services, explained the property is already zoned for commercial development, and that the application was solely to change the allowed uses. He also noted that the plans put forward to council were early drawings, and detailed plans would be provided as part of a development permit application, that would require council approval.

Strachan said the re-zoning amendment bylaw would be brought in front of council at it's next meeting, on Tuesday, July 28, and a public hearing would likely be scheduled for September. The official public consultation period would take place between those dates.

Coun. Aaron Orlando echoed Brothers in encouraging people to take part in the public process.

"I do encourage community members that if they have something to say, to come out and say it," he said.

PUBLIC NUISANCE BYLAW NEARS ADOPTION Do you like to get loud and rowdy on the walk home after a night on the town? That could end up costing you $500.

Revelstoke council gave first three readings to a new Public Nuisance Bylaw that will allow RCMP and Bylaw Enforcement Officers to ticket people who get too drunk, fight, or go to the bathroom in public.

The bylaw was recommended by RCMP StaffSgt. Kurt Grabinsky, who asked for a bylaw that would address the problem of rowdy late night drunks.

It prohibits “engaging in drunkenness, profane swearing or indecent, obscene or grossly insulting language on a highway of in a public place,” taking part in fights in public, and urinating or defecating in public.

Anyone who violates the bylaw can be fined up to $500, plus the cost of prosecution.

The bylaw still needs final adoption by council to become law.

SECONDARY SUITE OWNERS COMPLAIN OF BUSINESS LICENSE FEE The City of Revelstoke has topped 1,000 business licenses for the first time ever, but the recent surge is mostly due to a new policy of making owners of legal secondary suites hold a license.

And that has some home owners complaining of unfairness.

"Specifically, only owners of houses with CONFORMING secondary suites are assessed this new fee," wrote Ilya Storm in a letter to city hall. "Peo-

ple who own multiple houses in Revelstoke rent all but one of them without a similar license. Nonresident house owners rent out houses without a business license. Additionally, houses with nonconforming secondary suites escape this new fee.

Fundamentally, these situations are identical: a property owner is earning income from their real estate asset through long-term rental. However the city is not treating them equally. This is inherently unfair."

Storm's letter was one of two sent to the city complaining about the license fee.

"This raises concerns about fairness," said councillor Connie Brothers. "If I pay the fees to have a suite, and then we're not enforcing that bylaw, then why should I bother going through the motions of getting my approval?"

Coun. Scott Duke, who runs a property management company, said he gets lots of feedback on this issue. "When the staff is looking into it, I want them to send letters out explaining to the residents why we're implementing these things, so they just don't get a bill and they know why we're doing it," he said.

Speaking broadly, coun. Aaron Orlando said he hoped the city looked at density issues as it moves forward with a new zoning bylaw.

"What I sense is citizens wondering where we're going with all these things," he said.

Council asked for a staff report on the issue.

SUMMER SHUTTLE BUS PROPOSED The City of Revelstoke is looking to extend the popular ski resort shuttle into the summer months, with the possibility of also servicing a proposed charter air service.

The shuttle to Revelstoke Mountain Resort gets about 46,000 rides each winter, and now the operators — RMR and the Revelstoke Accommodation Association — want to expand it to provide summer service and airport service to pick up passengers of proposed charter flights, explains a staff report by Alan Mason, the city's director of economic development.

The proposal would involve leasing a fourth bus that would be dedicated to the air charter and would go to Salmon Arm to pick up passengers if the plane couldn't make it to Revelstoke.

Council agreed to issue a Request for Proposals to find someone to operate the additional services. The city owns the buses, which were purchased with money from the Resort Municipality Infrastructure Program, but they are run by a private company.

Councillor Linda Nixon voted against issuing the Request for Proposal, saying it amounted to supporting a specific private business. Hers was the sole vote of dissent.

WOODENHEAD KIOSK MOVING TO RMR Revelstoke Mountain Resort will be taking over the seldom-used tourism kiosk that is located in Woodenhead Park.

The kiosk was used at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Whistler, then purchased by the City of Revelstoke for about $25,000 using money from the tourism infrastructure program, and installed in Woodenhead Park.

The intent was to use it as a satellite visitor centre on the Trans-Canada Highway, but the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce found it too difficult to staff and as a result it hasn't been used in several years.

Now, RMR has offered to move the kiosk to the resort to use it there to provide information to guests about what's happening in town.

“It is meant to sell the community and it is being moved at their cost," said Judy Goodman, the executive director of the Chamber of Commerce.

Council agreed to support the move.

A staff report says RMR will pay for the costs of the move, and to staff the kiosk.

COUNCIL SUPPORTS ADVENTURE PARK Council agreed to write a letter of support for the proposed Revelstoke Adventure Park.

Mayor Mark McKee spoke in support of the park, saying it would increase tourism and create jobs.

“My only concern with the adventure park is making sure our watershed is protected," he said. "The impression I’m under with everybody is the watershed is well protected and that is my only concern.”

Councillor Linda Nixon asked that watershed protection be specifically mentioned in the letter.

115 Mackenzie Ave. Revelstoke.

Once upon a time, in his younger days, Charlie Burton gave up a teaching job in Fort McMurray to move to Victoria with his wife and become musician.

It was the early-80s, and after a visit to the province's capital, they packed their bags and took the plunge into a new life.

"I started playing music, banging on doors and playing where I could," Burton told me on the phone from Victoria, which he still calls home.

Influenced by the likes of Bruce Cockburn and Paul Simon, he wrote his own songs, played covers and toured up and down Vancouver Island. As he puts it, this was before Victoria was discovered, when the cost of living was cheap and you could make a living as a musician.

"I didn't make a lot of money but we made enough," he said. "That was our chance to indulge in the lifestyle that we really wanted to live."

In 1983, he recorded his debut album, Take My Picks, which consisted of five originals and seven covers. It was given three stars by the Victora Times-Colonist newspaper. (The album was re-released in 2009 as Something Old.) I asked him the highlight of those years playing live. "The freedom to do what you want. How many people get a chance to do that? To do the job they want regardless of how little money you make?" he replied. "Give it a chance while you can instead of worrying about pension plans and keeping up with everybody else."

Those worries did eventually take over.

Burton and his wife had their first of three daughters and so he went back to work, taking a job as an administrator in the math department at the University of Victoria. For more than 20 years he set his guitar aside while he raised his children and earned a living.

Then, in 2007, he took part in a series of recording sessions with his co-worker Colin Newell. The result was an 11-track album of all-original material written by Burton called Island Standard Time.

The album got airplay on CBC and a few years later, Burton retired from the university and focused on music again full time.

"I really got the bug again. I can't really remember a specific incident that said I have to do this again. It was sort of gradual," he said. "I realized I didn't want a conventional job for the rest of my life, I'd like to get out early if possible, and what could I do to supplement my income. It just kind of fell into place."

He went through his old repertoire of songs and cut out all the ones he didn't

Charlie Burton returned to music after 25 years away. ~ Photo contributed feel inspired by anymore. Then he went about learning new songs to fill out his sets — choosing songs that inspired him.

"They're songs I've picked up in the last seven or eight years based on how I feel now," he said. "You don't know why a certain song appeals to you now and didn't 20 years ago. In some ways it's a direct expression of your emotions based on your new experience."

One of the other things that changed was that he now has three daughters – Mariah, Jocelyn, and Amy (who lives in Revelstoke) to play with. He didn't pressure them to take up music, but once they did in their teenage years, he was there to help them out.

"I gave them a start and then they learned on their own," he said. "I guess I had as much influence as anybody but I didn't want to restrict them. I just wanted to get them started."

He plays regular shows with his daughters. He and Amy played the Revelstoke Street Festival and 2013. Jocelyn and Amy will be joining him for his upcoming Revelstoke dates on July 27–28. They'll be playing solo, as duos and as a trio throughout the two nights.

He says there's "nothing better" than being able to play with his girls.

"You forget about your age difference.

You almost forget your conventional and formal relationship as father and daughter because you're doing exactly the same activity and working together at it," he said. "It's a great common endeavour to get everybody on the same footing in every respect while you're doing that activity. It's so rewarding."

Charlie, Amy & Jocelyn Burton play live in Grizzly Plaza as part of the Summer Street Festival on Monday & Tuesday, July 27–28, from 6:30–9:30 p.m. both nights.

REVELSTOKE REVIEW ■ Wednesday, July 22, 2015 ■ 13

SPORTS

Ducks runners-up to home team in Salmon Arm ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com

The Revelstoke Aqaducks swam a strong meet in Salmon Arm this past weekend. 35 athletes attended the competition, which was one of the last meets before Okanagan regional championships in three weeks, and served as a tune-up for the Ducks.

Division 1 Girls Norah Painter and Monica Parkin combined to cut more than three minutes off their personal bests over all six of their races, and both girls demonstrated this new speed on their relays.

The Ducks also broke both club and meet records this weekend: Beth Granstrom broke the Division 5 Girls 200 metre individual medley meet record while bettering her own club record. James Lebuke broke the meet record in the 200 metre individual medley, while Ryder Litke broke the 100 metre individual medley meet record for Division 1 Boys.

Entering the Salmon Arm meet, the only club record for Division 1 Boys that did not belong to Ryder Litke was the 100 metre freestyle. Leaving Salmon Arm, all the club records for Division 1 Boys now belong to Ryder Litke.

Earning aggregate victories this meet for the Ducks were Division 1 Girl Autumn GriffithDoyle. Division 1 Boys was a sweep for Revelstoke, with William Hobgood winning bronze,

Bence Berkenbosch winning silver, and Ryder Litke the gold.

Division 2 Girls had Sani Supinen winning gold while Kale Jay won silver for the boys.

Division 3 Girl Megan Hoshizaki picked up a bronze aggregate for her gutsy swims this weekend, and Alex Jay took the gold for the boys side.

Division 4 Boy James Lebuke won gold, as did Division 5 Boy Jackson Litke and Division 5 Girl Beth Granstrom, both of whom won all six of their events.

With more than 300 athletes in attendance, the Ducks had their work cut out for them in the team event. Both the Salmon Arm Sockeyes and the Kelowna Ogopogos had twice as many swimmers in attendance as the Ducks.

However, when it came down to team scores, the Ducks were second to the Sockeyes in all three categories, besting the Ogopogos by more than 1,000 points. A large reason for this was the relay section of the meet, which was, for the third time this year, completely without disqualifications throughout the meet.

The Revelstoke Aquaducks are the only team to achieve this even once this season, never mind three times.

The Ducks travel to Penticton next weekend for their last meet in the Okanagan before Regionals in Kamloops.
