If you think Reved has
One Year Old!
put on a little weight in the last few months, you’re right! Reved is now One Year Old and it’s time to get bigger! What does this mean? It means Revelstoke is a happening place; so much so that four pages just isn’t enough. According to the survey results from the last issue’s Reader’s Questionnaire, you like Reved. And Reved likes you, so let’s party! Drinks are on me! Let’s meet at PQ at O pm. While I have you, I feel it’s time to let out a little secret, just between us: Reved is pronounced Revved, not RevED. It’s too bad the name of our town isn’t spelled with two V’s, but it’s not, so what can you do? Onto a more interesting subject: garbage. Summer is here and that means people are out and about. This is all good except for when walk-abouters come across dump piles along their path. In a perfect world, I’d like to write something here that would somehow fix this problem, but it would involve a few expletives and this is a family show....I also have a sneaking suspicion that the people dumping toilets and paint solvent into the forest aren’t reading this publication. So instead, I am using Reved to promote what I think is a great idea courtesy of Christy Shaw from Mountain Goodness Natural Foods. Christy suggested forming a team of volunteers, and with the help of some local businesses supplying garbage bags and the like, these sites can be cleaned
working on a project entitled Revelstoke, 360 Degrees, featuring a compilation of the beautiful views that surround our town. I look forward to seeing that! It looks like Nicola is quite happy afterall; successfully pursuing her dream. As I mentioned previously, the last issue of Reved presented the public with a Reader’s Questionnaire. It was wonderful to hear your thoughts and thank you for taking the time to fill it out. The questionnaire worked so well, I thought, why not do it again? There will now be a questionnaire in every issue; however, you will have to obtain it on-line at reved.net. This issue’s Questionnaire asks: What do you think would help increase attendance at local events? Besides babysitters and free drinks, what else would make your night out that much better? What would get you out of the house? (By the way, “naked dancing girls� will stop being funny around the second time I read it).
Thank You and enjoy!
Artist in Profile, page three up. If you like this idea better than hiking around the base of Mt. Mackenzie and slipping on toxic waste, call Christy at 837-4352. Excellent, and now it is time for Where are they now? Last year, the summer issue of Reved featured Nicola McGarry as the Artist in Profile. I thought I would check in with Nicola to see how she was doing and found her half asleep on a hammock with an empty bottle of gin beside her. It seems that hard times have fallen on our young artist. Okay, I’m lying. Nicola was awarded a grant through the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA), and is now
