Huge treated water loss through aging Revelstoke pipes Anywhere from 23 to 79 per cent of Revelstoke treated water leaks away through aging pipes before it reaches users’ taps. City targets five per cent water use reduction by 2015. Completed Greeley water source protection plan urges several immediate water protection steps. AARON ORLANDO

Revelstoke’s Rory Luxmoore is followed by Scott Legere race to the top of a snowy Idaho Peak during Saturday’s Kaslo Sufferfest summit race that covered 46 kilometres and 2,200 metres of elevation gain. The two runners finished tied for first in a time of 4:54:19. As if that wasn’t enough, on Sunday Luxmoore went and finished second in the 50-kilometre trail run in a time of 4:56:45 – 51 seconds back of winner Jordan McTaggart (who didn’t race Saturday). Other great performances from Revelstokians include Richard Hamilton, who won the 45-kilometre mountain bike race on Saturday and the 25-kilometre trail run on Sunday; Anne-Marie Gill and Sarah Newton, who finished first and second respectively in the women’s 50-kilometre run; and Brendan McIntosh, who came fourth in the 100-kilometre mountain bike race on Saturday. — Alex Cooper Photo by Jesse Schpakowski

Two new City of Revelstoke water reports were made public last week. One shows it’s likely about half of the drinking water processed at the Greeley Water Treatment Plant leaks out through old pipes and infrastructure before it reaches users. Surprisingly, the report concedes

Dog attack victims shocked by lack of city action Victims of identical 2010 pit bull attack said nothing was done despite vociferous complaining, and say city has failed to maintain records, deal with warnings and multiple attacks from vicious dog AARON ORLANDO

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Two dog attack victims are angry the City of Revelstoke hasn’t taken action to deal with a pit bullcross that attacked their small dogs. They claim that the same dog has viciously attacked over half a dozen dogs over several years, and are gathering incident reports and plan to take the issue to a city council meeting. They’re calling into question an animal control system that can’t deal with repeat, violent-offender dogs. Vittoria van Leur’s Pomeranian Shiloh is recovering after the pit bull rushed her and her leashed dog near Wilson Street on Sept. 8. The

dog violently “rag-dolled” Shiloh twice before she could snatch her pet back. After reading about that recent attack in the Revelstoke Times Review, another incensed dog owner contacted van Leur and the Times Review, showing proof of her complaint to the City of Revelstoke in February of 2011 from a late-2010 attack. In almost identical circumstances, Beatrice Adjoury was walking her two pugs Paris and Chicho on Wilson Street when the same dog rushed from a home and attacked Paris, causing puncture wounds and an expensive vet bill. In a Feb. 2, 2011 email to City of Revelstoke bylaw enforcement

officer Tim Luini, Adjoury used the exact same terminology to describe the attack, saying the pit bull “ragdolled” her smaller dog. In the email, Adjoury complained that the dog was still roaming the neighbourhood off-leash and unmuzzled over two months later. She complained about the lack of professionalism from animal control officers, and offered up the names and telephone numbers of several other dog owners whose animals had been attacked. “I think it is ridiculous that nothing has been done about this dog and the owner is not being held responsible for their lack of control of their dog,” Adjoury wrote in the February, 2011 email. “Many fear that the

next attack could be on a small child as their dog only seems to bite small dogs. “I would like to know if anything can and will be done by the city regarding this dog,” Adjoury wrote. Fast forward to 2013, and Adjoury is angry the situation has been allowed to continue. She contacted the animal control officer again, but was told there was no record of that attack on their files. Adjoury points to her email correspondence with the city. “I go, ‘Really?’” she questioned. “I go, ‘You guys are so incompetent. Shame on you.’ I talked with the city. I talked to everybody. The fact that they’re trying to tell me there’s no record of this at animal control is absolutely ludicrous. “What is going on in this town?” she asked. “How many more dogs have to be attacked?” Vittoria van Leur is working

alongside Adjoury to contact all the previous dog owners whose animals have been attacked by the dog. Van Leur believes the dog should be put down, and plans to take the ongoing issue to an upcoming city council meeting, hoping to shine a light on an apparent systemic failure. City of Revelstoke bylaw control officer Tim Luini acknowledged the two attacks, and said animal control officers are now doing frequent patrols of the Wilson Street residence, making sure the dog is always muzzled and not roaming free. He said city officials have declared the dog vicious, and it could be impounded if it’s found in violation of the city’s animal control bylaw. It states the dog must be muzzled and leashed when out with the owner. When at home, vicious

Police, bylaw monitoring dog from page 1 dogs must be enclosed behind a fence or a structure which can keep the dog in and children out. In fact, according to the city animal control bylaw, all pit bull breeds and pit bull crosses are automatically deemed vicious dogs. However, Luini said the effort to have this dog destroyed falls under provincial legislation, and local bylaw enforcement officers don’t have the authority to declare the dog “dangerous” – which is a different designation from “vicious.” “To declare a dog dangerous, we have to believe … strongly that it is going to kill a human or seriously injure a human or another animal,” Luini said. “The definition of seriously injured is the one that always comes up. Dogs fight. What I’ve got back from our animal control people [is] yes, there have been dog bites and everything else, but nothing that would be considered serious.” Luini also said dog attacks can be traumatic for owners, but they may not be as serious as they look. “If it’s your dog and [it] gets bit, it’s serious. An animal is like your daughter or son … it’s part of the family. I know where the people are coming from when they’re telling us we’re not doing enough and we should have the dog destroyed,” he said. “We have done the best we can. We are monitoring over there. We’ve got animal control going by there quite often making sure that it is muzzled and isn’t out running around.” He said it’s up to the RCMP to pursue the dangerous dog designation. “The RCMP definitely have the authority to do it. It’s not in our bylaw,” he

said. When contacted, RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Thomas Blakney acknowledged the dog was back on the premises. The day after the Sept. 8, 2013 attack, the RCMP told the Times Review the animal had been relocated to a rural area. Just a few days later, it was back. Cpl. Blakney said RCMP have been patrolling the area to check that the dog is on leash and a muzzle when outside. He said RCMP can enforce city bylaws in a pinch, but they leave animal control issues up to the city. Luini, however, cited the RCMP’s public acknowledgement that the some of the residences in the cabin complex where the dog resides were the subject of police patrols and police investigation for drug activity. He said he was reluctant to get animal control officers too involved in what he felt was a police matter, and acknowledged some conflict between the two law enforcement authorities over the issue. For now, both Revelstoke animal control and the RCMP say they continue to patrol the area. Van Leur and Adjoury are continuing to build their case, gathering proof and documenting past attacks, and are looking for other victims. Adjoury is determined to see reform in Revelstoke animal control, while van Leur believes the dog should be destroyed. Adjoury also said she was promised compensation from a man identified as the owner back in 2011, but never received anything. A friend of van Leur’s has set up a relief fund at Revelstoke Credit Union (#334040) to help her pay for substantial vet bills, which included several days of observation at the vet clinic.

Water report makes immediate Greeley source protection recommendations Greeley Creek Watershed Protection Plan

Water report, from page 1 potentially 75 per cent of water leaving the treatment plant could possibly be leaking away underground. The other ‘source protection’ report outlines steps needed to safeguard the Greeley watershed, the main water source for the City of Revelstoke. A third report on water metering is expected in a couple of weeks, but City of Revelstoke environmental coordinator Penny Page-Brittin was careful not to divulge any details of that report. However, the first two of the three inter-related reports will certainly guide and influence metering recommendations and decisions because they explain the sources of water loss and steps needed to protect the source; all reports contain recommendations that will compete for city budget dollars.

Water Smart Action Plan For the layperson, this 38-page report sets out some shocking numbers. An estimated 51 per cent of total system demand is lost through leaky infrastructure. That means after leaving the treatment plant in the Greeley area, it leaks out through holes, cracks, broken pipes, seals and joints before it makes it to your home. However, City of Revelstoke engineer Mike Thomas said the measuring instruments are a “blunt” tool, only measuring gross averages. This means the ‘plus or minus’ on the average is about 28 per cent, meaning actual water loss could range from about a quarter of all water to nearly 80 per cent. The report notes this range of loss is within the average range for cities in the Columbia Basin and North America. Page-Brittin acknowledge the

numbers are high: “There needs to be further studies around mainly are we calibrating our meters correctly,” she said. “It is quite shocking to see that is average.” The reports notes the city has already achieved a 20 per cent reduction in water consumption since 2009 through a variety of programs, but concedes a lot of that reduction could be weather-dependent – hot, dry summers equal more water consumption. The report targets an additional reduction of five per cent gross water consumption by 2015 over 2009 levels. The 2009 baseline is 2.23 billion litres. The target is 1.67 billion litres, or a reduction of 557 million litres by 2015. The report makes three main recommendations. The first is the main priority; implement a “sustainable water loss management program.” That includes possible metering programs and infrastructure upgrades. The report finds that up to 40 per cent of current water loss could be recovered through this management plan if it’s fully implemented. The second recommendation is public outreach and education. The report says public education focusing on print or digital messages are ineffective. Instead it recommends incentivizing efficiency upgrades.

It suggests creating a student “water ambassador” position. The individual would go door-to-door to conduct audits and make recommendations – and could offer incentives such as a rebate for replacing an old, large-volume, leaky toilet – for example. The report finds the city could reduce demand by 1.5 per cent through this program. The third recommendation is to implement a water metering program, although the report holds back with specific recommendations pending Veritec Consulting’s ongoing water metering study. Their report is scheduled for release this October. The report does say some kind of water metering will be recommended, but that doesn’t mean “universal” metering – a meter on every home. First wave options include better source and district metering, which means meters on main artery pipes to better understand where all the loss is happening. At a Sept. 26 city planning committee meeting, Page-Brittin and Thomas explained the Water Smart Action Plan was done in conjunction with the Columbia Basin Trust. It is a prerequisite for further potential funding from the CBT.

Times Review readers will be familiar with this report, as it was released in draft form this summer; it has now been revised to incorporate stakeholder input. The highly-technical report charts significant baseline data about the Greeley Creek watershed, including mapping its official boundary for the first time. Under the B.C. Drinking Water Protection Act, the City of Revelstoke was required to conduct the report as a condition of its licence to operate the water system. The report identifies risks to the watershed, and prioritizes those risks, making recommendations to deal with them. It separated risks to the the drinking water into current and future, potential risks. Current high risks are mass movements (landslides, mudslides), stream channel instability and climate change. Potential future high risks are recreation in the area, including snowmobiling, hiking, mountain biking, ATVs, motorcycling and camping. The report makes 10 recommendations, some of them of immediate concern, others needing longterm attention. The report recommends an immediate study of the city’s backup water system to determine what it can handle in a crisis. Another immediate recommendation is fencing around the water intake and settling ponds to keep people and wildlife out. This also incorporates a recommendation to look at recreational and other access issues to the greater watershed area. A further immediate recom-

mendation is to develop a wildfire risk plan. The report says the water treatment plant needs to be protected from fire, and it also should measure wildfire risks in the watershed. It also references stakeholders including the politically-hot Revelstoke Adventure Park proposal near the Greeley watershed. The report states all local and provincial wildfire stakeholders, “including the proponents of the Revelstoke Adventure Park should consider developing a wildfire protection plan that includes a fuel reduction plan, with careful consideration given to treatment impacts on slope stability, and examines appropriate post-fire rehabilitation for the protection of water quality in the event of a fire.” The report finds the city needs to coordinate an emergency response plan in the event of forest fires, avalanches, landslides or other major issues in the watershed. This is an immediate priority. Medium-term goals include implementing water flow metering and water supply management. Climate change adaption factors heavily into the report, including eight specific recommendations including a drought plan, alternative water source development, a potential hydro-electric/water supply system in the watershed and building redundancy into the system. Other general recommendations include building a watershed committee, creating a flow monitoring system, blocking mineral exploration through a legal reserve, as well as creating long-term terrain stability monitoring. Both reports were discussed at the Sept. 26 planning committee meeting and will make their way to council for deliberation soon. Interested in reading the reports for yourself?

CBAL works together to make a difference Contributed by CBAL

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) is respected locally and beyond for our leadership in community-based literacy programs, but this success could not have been possible without the partnerships that exist across the region. Partnerships are essential to the work we do and the most effective have been a result of a few key ingredients. First, an issue or challenge drives communities to seek solutions and participation from traditional and non-traditional partners. Second, a working relationship based on mutual respect, collaboration and open communication must be established among partners. Third, the acknowledgement of a shared goal and the steps to achieve that goal must be identified. These ingredients become the beliefs and values of the partnership and create a forward path to change. Across the region, partnerships are working to support literacy initiatives. Regionally, CBAL partners with Selkirk College, College of the Rockies, Okanagan College and College of New Caledonia

From real estate company to ski lift company walking in a no-man's land on real estate," he said. Is it headed for a soft landing, is it going to hold, is there growth on the horizon, where are interest rates headed? There's a lot of uncertainty around it. "I think it's been progressive but recreational property is not

a prime focus for lenders, especially when you look at offshore clientele, which is a big part of what Revelstoke's catering to." In the meantime, the resort is focusing on filling existing capacity, and then it will look at growth. He said there are still potential improvements in the current ski

terrain, and the resort is looking at expanding summer operations, including hiking and biking. "We're in it certainly for the long haul but nothing will be short-term decisions that aren't sustainable on a longer-term basis," he said.

Truckload Tire Sale! Condo sales have been very slow at the Sutton Place hotel. What does this mean for the resort? Revelstoke Times Review file photo

Without real estate sales, ski resorts have been forced to focus on other aspects of operation to make money Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Have you been eyeing a condo in the Sutton Place Hotel at Revelstoke Mountain Resort? Are you just waiting for Northland Properties to get tired of waiting and slash their prices? Don't hold your breath. There's two approaches the resort can take, says Graham Rennie the president of Northland Asset Management, which operates the resort: either cut prices and give product away, or hang on and wait for things to improve. "We tend to be favouring the latter where there is no fire sale. We are holding prices," said Rennie. "We see the value and we're basically in a holding pattern with not a lot of focus or expectation to be selling a lot of real estate. We certainly have it on the market but we understand the realities of the world out there. We hope to see it recover down the road." As is widely known, RMR, like many other resorts, was hit hard by the global financial crisis in 2008. The easy money dried up and suddenly, people stopped buying recreational properties. People that put down deposits to buy condos in the Sutton Place Hotel were unable to close on the deals, leaving most of the units unsold. That has forced many resorts – Revelstoke included – to re-think their financial model. "It means they have to find a way to ensure that their business is viable based on other parts of the business," said David Lynn, the president of the Canada West Ski Areas Association. "In other words, selling lift tickets, food and beverage, on hill accommodations and so on, as opposed to the real estate side of the business." He cited Whistler as an example. In Whistler, according to the Globe and Mail, condos are selling for nearly half what they used to and prices have fallen by nearly a quarter from their 2007 peak. Whistler, under Intrawest, was often held up as the model resort when it comes to selling real estate. Over several decades Intrawest built up the largest ski resort in North America, with real estate prices to match. They took that model – of using a ski resort amenity to sell real estate – and applied it to several other ski areas. In the end, the model collapsed with the markets and in 2010 WhistlerBlackcomb was turned into a publicly traded company, trading on the TSX.

"Whistler is primarily what we call a lift company," said David Lynn, the president of the Canada West Ski Areas Association "They have to make money from selling lift tickets, season passes, food and beverages, etcetera, as opposed to making money from selling real estate." That's the position RMR finds itself in now. That is why improvements at the resort have been so incremental ever since the first burst of activity in its first two years. "Any focus on development now is improving current infrastructure," said Rennie. "Future infrastructure improvements are going to come from a marketplace where homes are selling and real estate is developing, because that's how you fund the infrastructure." The real estate model of development is comatose for the moment, though some people still believe in it. Oberto Oberti, the developer behind Jumbo and a proposed resort near Valemount, is still gung ho behind his plans, despite the apparent lack of investors. Whitewater, near Nelson, unveiled its latest master plan in 2010 and it calls for the development of condos and single family homes around the base of the resort. A few years ago it added a fixed-grip triple chair that was purchased used from Vail Resort to increase its vertical drop and open new terrain, but no real estate has been built yet. Red Mountain, near Rossland, is also expanding with the addition of a slow quad chair that will access 1,000 acres of new terrain. Jon Peterson, a resort development economist, said he expects the secondary home market to rebound, however prices have fallen by so much (especially in the United States), it will take a while before they return to a point that resorts can start new development. Much of the really cheap resort property has been snapped up, so prices should start rising soon, he said. Still, he added, RMR’s decision to maintain the high prices on properties is a risky one. “It’s hard to be very optimistic that they can hold that price and see much chance of buyers flooding in to buy those units anywhere close to that.” Rennie said he expects things to pick up in the future, but it is depending on a turnaround in the financial industry. "I think the financial industry still

Centennial Park, not Kovach, still right spot for new skatepark Editor, This is an open letter to Revelstoke City Council. It is my understanding that on Oct. 8, 2013, the Columbia Valley Skateboard Association (CVSA) will be making a presentation to council to reconsider Kovach Park for an expanded skateboard park. I’d like to speak to this issue but need to provide some history first. In the July 26, 2011, council meeting a motion was passed choosing Centennial Park as the preferred location for a new skateboard park. The CVSA was informed they would need to have a geological assessment of the area done. The expected cost would be +/- $5,000. The CVSA then proceeded to raise funds for this. When they had raised the money needed, they informed the city that they were ready to proceed. At this point they were requested by the city to attend a meeting with Mike Thomas (Director of Engineering) and Laurie Donato (Director of Parks & Recreaction). At this meeting they were informed that they could not proceed forward in the designated area. They could not disturb the clay cap over the old landfill. Therefore, they have since then come full circle back to wanting to expand Kovach Park. I had a brief conversation with Mr. Thomas on Sept. 26 and was asking for a time to meet to discuss the above issue. He informed me that he was too busy to meet and that he was accepting staff information to proceed on this topic in his report to council. The problem is, I was the public works foreman in 1995 when we dug test holes in In our article on the Revelstoke real estate market, From soaring highs to stable lows (News, Sept. 25, 2013), we wrote, "All three Realtors I spoke to said the market has bottomed out." The sentence summarized three long interviews about the

L ET T E R S the ball fields, outside and around the areas mentioned. The area that the CVSA is being denied, is outside of what would be the dike (river side). This area was filled more than 20 years ago with materials removed from under the streets that had been rebuilt. It is over six-metres deep and lies over the old original landfill from 50-plus years ago. The aforementioned staff information source is puzzling as it is not from our finding in 1995 (as we found nothing of concern in holes dug about four metres deep). The clay cap that is not to be disturbed in the area outside of the dike does not exist. You can stand on the lower bench (grassy area below and to the right of the workers memorial) and look at the fill in question. The lower bench is the top of the old landfill. The skateboard park would not even be close to this depth. On this basis, why was the new concrete block washroom allowed to be constructed on top of the newer landfill area, yet a nonenclosed skateboard facility cannot? The City is proposing to bring the lagoon outfall to an area downstream of the boat launch. This line will have to come through the park at a depth, which will very likely disturb the landfill area, in order to be close to the low water mark. (Residents of the Community Centre bench area should pay close attention to this project as the prevailing winds are from the west). This appears to be acceptable for the City, but again, the skateboard facility is being denied – double standard!

CLARIFICATION Revelstoke market with different Realtors. Interviewee Joe Verbalis from Stoke Realty responded, saying he "asserts unequivocally that he did not state he was

It is well over two years since council’s approval for Centennial Park was given as the preferred location, and it has now come full circle back to Kovach Park. It seems there are underlying issues that continue to prevent the project from succeeding. The residents of Southside have spoken loud and clear about their opposition of expanding the skateboard area in Kovach Park, and now again face the issue. The majority of the residents of the Southside community fully support the CVSA finding a home for their skateboard park, however Kovach Park is supposed to have a young children’s play area, a seniors equipment area, (of which the Royal Bank has graciously donated $25,000 towards this project), as well as some tables, a few trees, the existing small skateboard area and a little green space. The promise of a washroom – budget 2013, now bumped to 2014 – still remains as a promise as well. One more budget bump leaves it to the next council to deal with. If council agrees to CVSA’s application to expand in Kovach Park, then their words of past to the Southside community residents have no value. What a legacy to be remembered by. Can you not envision this skateboard park being in the Centennial Park area with the Columbia River and our mountains as a backdrop? What an awesome addition to our sports showcase and at no loss to existing ball fields. Council, fulfill your promise to find them a home in Centennial Park. Bob Melnyk, Revelstoke of the opinion the real estate market has bottomed out." He says he offered no opinion on the market, and that it was up to each individual to examine the market and draw their own conclusions.

Six Revelstokians were awarded for their long-time contributions to community literacy at a gathering at Begbie View Elementary on Wednesday. Lucie Bergeron, Anne Cooper, Alison Just, Sandra Painter, Tammy Tomm and George Winingder were recipients of the fourth annual Revelstoke Community Literacy Awards, given out by the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy. "It always warms my heart to see how many people are involved in literacy in our community," said Tracy Spannier, the Revelstoke Community Literacy Coordinator. CBAL requested nominations to honour commitment to literacy, innovation and creativity which inspires or motivates others to learn, supporting literacy work, or being a strong community advocate for literacy. Here is what was written on the nomination form for each winner: • Anne Cooper: Anne has been a provincial champion for the importance of integrating early learning and community literacy within the public education system. She has actively promoted the concept of literacy being critically important for everyone from infants to seniors. Anne has ensured that the school district is a true collaborator and supporter of literacy in Revelstoke. • Lucie Bergeron: Lucie has volunteered with Okanagan College’s adult

notification of project to protect airport outflow wetland BC Hydro would like to advise the public of a planned project to place rip-rap on a Columbia River erosion channel bank downstream of the mouth of the Illecillewaet River in an effort to protect the Airport Slough wetland on the Arrow Lakes Reservoir flats below Nichol Road. The work will start when reservoir levels are suitable, likely in late September or October 2013. The rip-rap placement is expected to take about three weeks. We ask that recreational users of the area be mindful that heavy equipment will be working in the area. Machinery will access the site from the road on the south side of the Illecillewaet River past the Selkirk Saddle Club. Traffic control measures will be in place as needed to protect public safety. Columbia River flows, snowmelt, and reservoir operations continue to enlarge a 115 metre long Y-shaped erosion channel into the flats adjacent to the old Arrowhead highway that runs from the south side of the Illecillewaet River mouth to Machete Island north of the Revelstoke airport. The intent of this project is to see whether the rip-rap can prevent the channel from continuing to move towards the existing Airport Slough wetland. The project was recommended by a consultative committee with local representation that evaluated a number of potential wildlife enhancement projects identified by the Columbia River Water Use Plan and is expected to benefit bird and wildlife habitat.

Revelstoke’s Mt. Begbie Brewery’s seasonal beers are an opportunity for individual brewers to shine when they get the chance to craft their own brew. This fall, brewer Tyler Papp presents his Jacked Lantern ESP – Extra Special Pumpkin. It’s based on an extra special bitter, blended with roasted DeMille’s Farm pumpkins and locally-sourced spices to create a subdued ale with a light finish. It features a medium body, a malty mouth feel with an autumn-orange amber hue. Papp selected the traditional extra special bitter as the base for its medium-hop bitterness that’s not too cloying. “I thought the lighter style would lend to an easier drinking beer,” he said. The young brewer has been at Mt. Begbie for about two years and previously worked at Brewsters Brewing Company in Alberta and Fernie Brewing Company. Meet Tyler and the rest of the Mt. Begbie crew at a release party for Jacked Lantern at the Village Idiot Restaurant on Friday, Oct. 4 from 4–8 p.m. Mt. Begbie will have their full selection out on Saturday, Oct. 5 from noon to 7 p.m. in downtown Revelstoke, where they’ll join other breweries for tastings as part of the Cornucopia Best of the Fest. — Aaron Orlando

Powerhouse snowboard filmers Absinthe Films debut their 2013/14 feature Dopamine at the Roxy Theatre this Friday, Oct. 4. The production spent lots of time in B.C.’s Southeast mountains, including many sorties into Eagle Pass Heliskiing’s tenure in the Monashees. Eagle Pass office manager Kiel Mason said the crew and riders came in February for a couple of weeks but got hooked, sticking around for much longer. “It was amazing. They are a great crew that come to work and get stuff done. We are all very excited to be a part of this movie,” Mason said. “What came out of it is amazing riding for sure.” It wouldn’t be a Monashee outing without some pillows. Look out for rider Jay Robinson’s tight line into pillow sluff and Danny Kass’s ender pillow line/air, both filmed with Eagle Pass. Other featured riders include Victor De Le Rue, Bode Merrill, Brandon Cocard, Jason Robinson, Manuel Diaz, Blair Habenicht, Cale Zima, Nils Arvidsson, Rusty Ockenden, Mathieu Crepél, Mat Schaer, Sylvain Bourbousson, Forrest Shearer, Scot Brown and Wolfgang Nyvelt.

John Ralston Saul: Canada is really an aboriginal country Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Would Canada be better off if we paid more attention to our aboriginal past? If instead of thinking of ourselves as a European nation, we thought of ourselves as an aboriginal nation? The answer is yes, says Canadian writer John Ralston Saul, who gave a provocative talk at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre on Friday, Sept. 27. Saul was in Revelstoke to speak about ideas from his 2008 book, A Fair Country: Telling Truths About Canada. He was on his way to Invermere, where he was scheduled to give the keynote address at the Columbia Basin's Watershed Symposium. The evening began with introductions by Lynne Barisoff, the aboriginal education teacher in Revelstoke, and Cathy English, the curator of the Revelstoke Museum & Archives. They both spoke of the aboriginal history of the Revelstoke area and how it was used by the Okanagan, Shuswap, Ktunaxa, and Sinixt people. They both cast away the myth that there was no aboriginal presence in the Revelstoke area. "When we look at our history, we know that's not true," said Barisoff. First Nations would come here in the summer to take advantage of the abundant natural resources in

the region. The Sinixt, who lived up and down the Arrow Lakes and are currently embroiled in a legal battle to prove their continued legal status in Canada, even spent the winter in the Tum Tum area, said English. However, said English, by the time the first European settlers arrived here, the number of Sinixt had dwindled due to the spread of diseases like small pox. Most of the survivors had been moved onto the Colville Indian Reservation in

northwest Washington state and when they came to Canada, they were regarded as American Indian intruders. Saul's talk focused on Canada as an aboriginal nation. When the first Europeans arrived, it was the aboriginals who welcomed them and taught them how to survive here. White people adopted the local mode of transportation (the canoe). Poor European men who came to Canada were encour-

aged to marry into powerful aboriginal families. The emergence of the Metis was a result of Europeans trying to move up in standing, not vice versa. He credited Canada's multiculturalism to the acceptance of Europeans by First Nations. They welcomed us here when we arrived, and that attitude has permeated our country. Multiculturalism is an aboriginal construct, as opposed to the Imperial melting pot in the United States. All this changed as the aboriginal population died off, a result of disease and destruction. Since confederation, Canada had an Imperialist ideology imposed on it that has shaped our country, for better and for worse. We pretended the native people died off, a victim of our "Darwinian superiority." "The attitude is that if they were here, they were inferior and didn't deserve to be here," Saul said. "We have not fundamentally cleaned our minds of the garbage of the Imperial period." He said Revelstoke should be thought of as a continuation of thousands of years of history, and not simply a city born by the railway. "It's the extension of a long indigenous history," he said. Referencing the Columbia River Treaty, Saul called the solution it provided for flood control, power and irrigation an old-fashioned, Imperial method.

"Our basic understanding of how to handle environmental problems still comes from Europe, which is inappropriate to the situation," he said. "We still believe we're dominant over nature. As long as we believe that, we're not going to make progress. "Our concept of progress coming out of the 18th century and the Industrial Revolution is not working for us anymore. It threatens the existence of the planet. In Saul's view, the Supreme Court rulings asserting the land rights are the most significant in our country's history. They should return Canada to a place where the "people are part of the place, not above the place." Canada started with a conversation between aboriginals and Europeans, and for a long time, that conversation was ignored. Now, the tides are turning, and that is a good thing. For a long time, Canadians have been taught everything from a European perspective. If we apply an aboriginal perspective to our country, it will be for the best. I'm not well-versed enough in Canadian history to provide a critique of Saul's view of Canada. No doubt, it is original and provocative and it is not something I had thought of before. I do wonder what Canada would look like if it had stayed, as Saul put it, an aboriginal construct.

What's Up with Rotary Revelstoke Rotary Club

Hallo aus Deutshland

bombs so it is quite beautiful.” And compared to Revelstoke? “Mountains are not really mountains here!”

By Chris Bostock Public Relations Co-chair

So what are you studying? How are you coping with the language barrier?

Jacob Wallach’s Rotary Adventure

Revelstoke Rotary Club is active in the Youth Exchange program, both sending outbound students abroad, while hosting inbound students here in Revelstoke. This is one of the cornerstones of Rotary’s work – Rotary International has been sending young adults abroad since 1929. Over the course of a year, students will generally live with multiple volunteer host families during the year, assisting with daily chores within the household, as well as attending school. This year, we’ve sponsored Jacob Wallach to study in Germany, and locally, we are hosting Lucas Parreiras from Sete Lagoas, Brazil. Lucas will be staying with host families here in Revelstoke until August of 2014. We’ll share Jacob’s story this month, and Lucas’ next month. Jake is 18 years old, and he graduated from RSS this past school year. For his school year in Germany, he’s been placed in Grade 11. When at home in Canada, his favorite sports include skiing and swimming, and he also enjoys playing drums and composing music. He’s no slouch; he’s recently started training with the local swim team in Germany, and he’s also enrolled in a new sport: table tennis. I caught up with him via email to find out about his time in Germany to date. Jake, can you tell us a little about your Germany experience so far? “Well, I arrived in Germany on the 1st of August after four flights. Eventually I ended up in my town another three train rides later.” Jake says. “My town is located right in the centre of Germany,” he explains. “It’s a beautiful little town with 17,000 inhabitants, and the name is Heilbad Heiligenstadt. The literal translation is ‘healingbath holycity’; the town is known for its spa culture. This town is over 1000yrs old, and the old buildings are made out of wood and clay. It was also formerly part of the GDR (East Germany), and Heiligenstadt is one of few German cities that was never flattened by

It’s a full courseload. “At school I am currently studying Geography, Biology, English, German, Spanish, art, religion, history and music.” As for the language, “it’s has been difficult to understand most of what is said in class, but Berlin everyday I seem to grasp a little bit more,” Jake explains. Heilbad “It’s very tiring trying to Heiligenstadt understand everything that is said to me, so I’d say that’s my biggest difficulty.” But he’s positive. “It has already been a little more than a month and my German has improved greatly,” he explains, “I can now maintain small conversations with people. My grammar is not perfect but it’s understandable.” How would you sum up your experience so far?

The Revelstoke Grizzlies’ Kohl Bell deflects in a Wade Cline point shot for his first career KIJHL goal in Saturday’s double-overtime loss to the Sicamous Eagles. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Grizzlies earn first win over Sicamous ALEX COOPER

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Grizzlies picked up their first points of the regular season with a win and a double-overtime loss against the Sicamous Eagles last weekend. “I think the last four games we’re starting to come together and now we’re starting to get some points,” said coach Darren Naylor before the game. “We got three of four points and this game could have gone either way.” The weekend started Friday with the teams in Sicamous for what turned out to be a goalie battle. Neither team could score through the first two periods as Aaron Brandoli turned away 35 shots in the Grizzlies net and his counterpart stopped 38 shots for the Eagles. The third period started with a flurry of action. Revelstoke got on the board first, at 19:08 when Kyler Wilkerson scored with help from line-mates Devon Hascarl and Kohl Bell. Less than two minutes later Hascarl to put the Grizzlies up 2-0, with assists to defensemen Tre Mason and Aiden Silzer-Hooker, who made his return to the lineup after an early-season shoulder injury. Then, 64 seconds later, Tyler Ehlers scored for Sicamous scored to make it 2-1. The Grizzlies lead would hold up and Revelstoke got its first win of the season.

Saturday’s game was a thriller that ended in a 5-4 victory in double-overtime for the Eagles at the Forum. Sicamous opened the scoring with six seconds left in the first when Tyson Fair got one past Brandoli. Ehlers made it 2-0 for the Eagles at 17:02 of the second with an unassisted effort. Hascarl erased the deficit with two goals in 57 near the midway point of the period. He got his first goal on the power play at 12:58 and followed it up with a beautiful individual effort to tie the game. Bell then gave Revelstoke the lead with 1:48 left in the period with his first ever KIJHL goal. In the third period, Nathan Grieve scored twice for Sicamous to pull his team in front. First, he fired a snap shot over Brandoli’s blocker, then he got an easy tap in on a power play with 7:35 left in the period. Silzer-Hooker tied the game with 4:23 left in the game with a one-timer on a pass from Bell. Hascarl picked up an assist for his fourth point of the game. Overtime was a thriller, with both teams trading chances. The first five-minute period of 4-on-4 solved nothing, sending the game to five minutes of 3-on-3. In the second OT, Sicamous had the edge, nearly ending the game several times. Finally, with 37 seconds left, Hayden Orton broke in

on a breakaway and beat Brandoli with a snap shot to give Sicamous the 4-3 win. “That was one hell of a hockey game tonight,” said Naylor afterwards. “We might not have got two but I’ll take three out of four right now.” He praised the line of Hascarl, Wilkerson and Bell, who were in on every Revelstoke goal over the weekend. “It’s a good line and what we need now is to get some secondary scoring big time,” said Naylor. “We need to get some guys chipping in. We can’t just be a one line time.” Naylor made a few moves over the week, trading the rights to veteran forward TJ Christensen in exchanged for 6’5” rookie forward Ravinder Shokar. He also acquired forward Coleton Dawson from the Columbia Valley Rockies. His next moves will be to improve the defense, saying he was looking for some veteran players who could add poise to the back end. “We have to stabilize that blue line,” he said. “I want to get a couple veteran guys back there.” This weekend the Grizzlies host the 100 Mile House Wranglers on Friday and then head to Kamloops to face the Storm on Saturday. Kamloops beat Revelstoke 4-1 in the teams’ season opener.

Bantam blitz

The Revelstoke Secondary School senior boys soccer team.

Contributed

RSS 3rd in Kamloops soccer tournament Contributed

The Revelstoke Secondary School senior boys soccer team participated in the Sa-Hali Sabres classic tournament in Kamloops, B.C., capturing the third place prize. The first day produced three big victories, including a 4-3 win over Sullivan Heights, a AAA school more than three times the size of the Revelstoke high school. The boys finished top of their group, which placed them in a semi final game against the host team of SaHali. The team lost their semi final 3-0,

sending them to a third place penalty shoot-out against Fleetwood Park Secondary. Revelstoke won the penalty shoot in dramatic fashion, going behind a goal before a save and a missed penalty from Fleetwood put Revelstoke in front for good. The team would like to thank coach Rob Evans for all of his hard work during the weekend. The team is back to league play this week, with a game against Seaton Secondary School on Thursday, Oct. 3. The team won its season opener last Monday, Sept. 23, over Salmon Arm’s Kings Christian School.

Fans of end-to-end hockey got a treat on Saturday as the Revelstoke Bantam Grizzlies opened their season with a 7-7 tie with the Chase Chiefs at the Forum. The teams battled back and forth all game, with Chase going taking the lead five times only to see Revelstoke come back and tie it. Matt Cadden and Brayden Fairley both scored twice for the Grizzlies, and Liam Sutherland, Hayden Gjitema and Brett Alm also got goals in the game. This weekend the teams plays in Kamloops on Saturday and Chase on Sunday. They are back home on Oct. 19 at 3 p.m. against Chase. The Revelstoke Peewee Grizzlies start their season this Sunday in Winfield. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

In Appreciation

Lidia was born in Spezzano Piccolo, Cosenza Italy on March 20, 1930 and has been a resident of Revelstoke for the past 11 years, moving here from Kimberley where she resided for over 50 years. Lidia arrived in Kimberley in 1953, via Montreal, to join her husband, Tony Falcone in Kimberley who arrived there 3 years before. Lidia came from a large, close-knit Italian family with strong patriarchal and matriarchal influences. As the second oldest daughter, she helped raise her 8 brothers and sisters after her oldest sister left home to get married. Her love of family, home, cooking and gardening carried through to her own home and children where she placed family and respect above all else. Lidia had a knack for doing all things, and conducting herself, with grace, style and charm. Her cooking ability is legendary and to this day, continues to influence family and friends as they try to match her ability and carry on her recipes and traditional dishes. Lidia truly enjoyed being with her family, and was happiest when her children, and later, her grandchildren, carried out their lives with purpose, dignity and respect. In addition to cooking, baking and gardening, Lidia enjoyed dancing, music, knitting, crocheting, hockey games to cheer on her son or the local team, and figure skating to support her daughter and the sport. Her laugh echoed through her home and garden often, and her skill "to keep everyone in line" was revered and respected at the same time. Lidia is preceded by the passing of her beloved husband, Tony in 2007, and survived by her son Franco (Susan) Falcone of Calgary, daughter Maria Falcone (Ted Hubert) of Delta, grandchildren, Thomas Falcone (Mari Takahashi), Lexa Hubert, Isabella Falcone and Jack Falcone, nephew and niece, John and Angela Bafaro of Revelstoke, as well as numerous other nieces, nephews, cousins and other family members in Canada, the USA and Italy. Messages of condolence may be sent to the family by visiting Lidia’s obituary notice at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com

Action at the Revelstoke Curling Club is being delayed as the club is struggling to form an executive and get an ice maker before getting the season started.

With membership declining, curling club looks to salvage season Alex Cooper

fall 2013 FRIDAY & SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11&12 • CHAINSAWS • POWER BLOWERS

The start of the curling season is up in the air as the Revelstoke Curling Club finds itself struggling to form an executive to get things started up. “We got a group e-mail a couple weeks ago from our secretary asking what’s going on because there’s been no meetings and as far as she knows, there’s no president, nobody’s hired an ice maker and nobody’s done anything to put the ice in,” said Tim Luini, who had to turn down to the role or president due to a lack of time. The curling club has seen itself undergo a slow decline over the years. It used be a bustling place with league play running nightly but the action has slowly dwindled through the years. “In the good times we had two leagues on Monday, two leagues on Tuesday, ladies on Wednesday, super league on Thursday and a lot of times we had two leagues going on Friday – a seven and a nine draw,” said Luini. Now, the Tuesday and Wednesday leagues have merged into a mixed league, and the Friday league disappeared, replaced by a popular drop-in night that has proven to be a boon to the club. Luini said that an e-mail was sent to club members last week asking for help, but only two people replied. The club had an emergency meeting scheduled for Tuesday evening to discuss the upcoming season. So far six coats of water have been put down to make the ice. “We’ll probably get ice in but if we don’t get any response from anybody, I don’t know if we’ll be able to salvage the season,” Luini said. He said they would like to maintain the same schedule as last year, with an open league on Monday, mixed league on Tuesday, super league on Thursday and drop-in on Friday. “We’re hoping to keep the Friday going, we’re hoping to do everything we did last year, but if we can’t get some more help it’s going to be pretty tough to do,” he said. The curling club’s story sounds similar to other long-time sports and service clubs that are struggling. A new demographic in town combined with the fact there’s more going on has made it tougher to attract members. He had hoped the influx of new people to town would re-invigorate the club, but that hasn’t been the case. “I think there’s so much going on nowadays,” said Luini. “People just don’t have the time and they don’t want to commit to a league.”
