Man presumed dead after boat capsizes Warren Tittemore of Calgary is missing and presumed dead after his boat capsized south of Revelstoke on the Columbia River on Thursday evening. An extensive air, land and water search resulted in the recovery of a life jacket and a 14-foot aluminum boat, according to a release from the Revelstoke RCMP. The RCMP believe that Tittemore had to remove his life jacket in order to remove heavier clothing that he had been wearing that would have restricted his ability to swim, but he did not make it to shore. On Thursday evening a witness reported to the RCMP that a boat had capsized on the Columbia River, approximately 20 kilometres south
of Revelstoke. Two adult males, both from Alberta, could be heard calling for help. According to the RCMP release both were wearing life jackets and making their way to shore when they got separated. One male was able to reach the east shore and use his cellphone to provide GPS co-ordinates. Search and Rescue volunteers from Revelstoke and Golden, as well as the Revelstoke RCMP, were deployed and located the man on the shoreline where he was air-lifted to the Queen Victoria Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Tittemore remains missing. He is Caucasian, 35 years old, approximately 220 pounds and was last seen wearing
shorts, a green coat and a yellow life jacket. The small aluminum boat with an outboard motor was located partially submerged further south of the campground along the west shoreline. The water is described as cold and rough, which is consistent with the conditions that were reported when the incident happened on Thursday evening. The rough water is believed to have contributed to the boat capsizing. “Tittemore’s family would like to extend their appreciation to all those persons who assisted in the search for Warren and we all pray that he is eventually located so the family can have some form of closure,” the news release said.

Installation of the rockfall fencing system at Three Valley Gap is now complete. “For years, people travelling through Three Valley Gap have had ongoing concerns with falling rock,” said Claire Trevena, minister of Transportation and Infrastructure. “Ministry staff have developed an innovative solution to help keep people safe. This new fencing system will reduce the chance of rocks landing on the highway, while also withstanding the heavy snowfall and debris that comes from regular avalanche activity in the area.” The new attenuator fencing system is located approximately 20 kilometres west of Revelstoke. Due to the geography, intense weather and avalanches in the area, standard fencing would not be able to withstand the snow avalanche activity that takes place along the corridor. The new fencing system is about 122 metres long, consisting of five-metre high steel posts spaced about 10 metres apart. The posts are supported by a network of steel cables that are anchored six metres into bedrock. The slope mesh material that is hung from the cable support

Second hotel approved for resort Jocelyn Doll Revelstoke Review Staff
Revelstoke city council has approved a development permit for a second hotel at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Council approved the project in principle at a meeting in January, with several conditions. Since then, city staff received a finalized riparian area assessment, which in-
cluded identification, re-vegetation and enhancement of the stream-side protection enhancement area, a revised landscaping plan that includes arborist recommendations for tree protection, an integrated storm-water management plan, a noise impact assessment and a snow-shed and snow storage plan. Daniel Sturgeon, the city planner, went
through each of the new reports with council at the June 18 meeting. Highlights included a report from a B.C. forester identifying protection and mitigation for the existing trees on the site. Sturgeon said a survey was done of the existing trees on the site and the locations of their root systems were identified. “As they build the

2018 ANNUAL REPORT The City of Revelstoke will be presenting its 2018 Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2018 at the Regular Meeting of City Council on July 9, 2019. The meeting will be held in Council Chambers located at Suite 102, 103 Second Street East starting at 3:00 p.m. The Annual Report includes the financial statements, listing of tax exemptions, City achievements and objectives for the upcoming years.

hotel and they add grading to the site, they will be impacting root zones that will require some hand digging, some pulling away of dirt,” Sturgeon said. Some of the roots will be removed and infill will be put in their place. This should save the trees from harm. There was also a the noise impact assessment. “That noise impact assessment had little to draw upon in terms of standards that we have in our bylaws and unfortunately there are no national standards,” Sturgeon said. The engineer hired to do the report looked at an example from West Vancouver and established that 45 decibels of continuous noise be the maximum after construction. Sturgeon equated that to passing traffic, a casual conversation or the sound of a dishwasher in the kitchen. In order to mitigate non-continuous noise such as trucks and people coming and going from the loading facility at the back of the building, the city has requested that the resort submit a restrictive covenant that will restrict the use of the loading
area from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week. Council amended that recommendation to 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Peter Nielsen, vice-president of operations for the resort, was in the audience and expressed no concerns with the amendment. The development permit also requires that windows on the west side of the building not open, to protect the residential properties in the immediate area from additional noise. An engineer was also employed to assess snow-shed management and snow storage. Additional canopies were added to the outside of the buildings to protect pedestrians as a result of the engineer’s findings. “They will have to undertake some operational precautions during the winter depending on the snow year,” Sturgeon said. A second development permit will be required for the overhead walkway connecting the new hotel and the base of the mountain. Sturgeon said airspace easements and legal agreements will be needed for the project.

Residents oppose gravel pit near Jordan River Jocelyn Doll Revelstoke Review Staff
Two new Crown Land applications for a gravel pit on Westside Road, and another along the Jordan Kirkup Forest Service Road, have several residents protesting. Jake-Jay Construction Ltd. has applied to the province for an aggregate production site on Westside Road, several kilometres up the road from their shop, which is located at 2500 Westside Road. If approved, the company will relocate its main aggregate production operation to the site, according to a management plan submitted with the Crown Land application. Its current production site is the RSG Jordan Pit, which cannot be accessed in the winter. The second site, on the Jordan Kirkup Forest Service Road, will be a supplemental location that will only be used once the RSG Jordan Pit is depleted and reclaimed, according to their management plan for the site. Virginia Thompson, a Revelstoke resident, said she is concerned for the health and longevity of the Jordan River if the operation is approved. “This river is a treasure and should be left alone because it is not wrecked yet,” she said. Thompson regularly hikes both the Upper and Lower Jordan River Trails and is constantly amazed at the beauty, and accessibility, of the area. “To me, this river, being 10 minutes from Revelstoke, is a tourist gem,” said Thompson. “It’s sort of like an uncut diamond.

MP: Call for urgent action Jocelyn Doll Revelstoke Review Staff
MP Wayne Stetski called on the federal government to fight the “climate change war,” in the House of Commons on June 17. He had the chance to speak on the May 27 amended motion that the government recognize climate change as an urgent crisis driven by human activity, that Canadian citizens are feeling the impacts of climate change including flooding and wildfires and that clean growth and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in all parts of the economy is necessary. He quoted Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist who said: “I often hear adults say, ‘We need to give the next generation hope.’ But I don’t want your hope. I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I do. Every day. And want you to act. I want you to behave like our house is on fire. Because it is.” Stetski spoke of the most recent report by the international Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which said
that we have about 11 years to dramatically reduce fossil fuel consumption or face catastrophic climate change. “It is clear that we are facing an urgent ecological crisis,” he said. “For too long, governments and corporations have delayed taking meaningful action on climate change, and now we find ourselves with the floods and fires at our door. We have a moral responsibility to take rapid, ambitious action that will set us down the path to a more sustainable and equitable future.” He described the rallies that have occurred in his riding and said that many of the young people share Thunberg’s fear for the future. “My granddaughter, Lalita, who is graduating from high school this month, at times worries about whether her generation will have a future at all,” Stetski said. He went on to acknowledge the work that local governments are doing to address the crisis, however, he called on the federal government to partner with
municipal governments who have solutions but no funds to implement those solutions. Stetski went on to criticize the Liberals, saying though they brought forward the motion they have failed to recognize climate change as an emergency. “The Liberal climate change plan shelters the biggest polluters and fails to meet even Stephen Harper’s weak targets,” he said. He also expressed outrage that, while yesterday the government was discussing declaring a climate emergency, on the agenda to discuss today is the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. “Quite frankly, it is climate hypocrisy,” he said. Stetski called for a bold plan that reduces emissions while creating sustainable jobs for workers. “Instead of partisan bickering over carbon pricing, we need all parties to agree to work together on implementing comprehensive solutions,” Stetski said. The amendment was defeated, however, the original motion passed.
Mountain which can be accessed by the Jordan Mainline FSR, said it believes the proposed activities will have little to no effect on the trails and it expects that Jake-Jay and the mountain bike community will continue to be courteous to one another. Across the river from several gravel pits, Else and Gordon Landers are also concerned about the potential project. “When you buy a house and you pay taxes, I think it is sort of assumed that you fall under some sort of protection from the city from an open pit mine next door to you,” Else said. One of their main concerns is noise. The management plan proposes sound mitigation such as a natural tree buffer around the site, saying it will be virtually indistinguishable from any traffic travelling down Westside Road. However, the Landers don’t think a small stand of trees will do much good, given their current experience with the other gravel production sites in the area. “This is a crusher and a shaker and a sorter,” Else said. “Do you have any idea the noise those things make?” The couple built their “dream” home in 1974 and planned on living there the rest of their days, Gordon said. But now they are considering moving because of the disruption with both the noise and the dust from current gravel operations across the river. And, hey are also concerned it could affect their property value.
“I’m just saying this doesn’t belong here,” Else said. In the current version of the city’s Official Community Plan, which is scheduled to be reviewed by city council this year, the area around the Jordan River is designated as a “very high value, environmentally sensitive area.” According to the plan, it is a community goal to protect and enhance environmentally sensitive areas. Policies include achieving no net loss of wetlands, riparian habitats or sensitive species, securing protection through land donation, conservation covenants or long-term leases and protecting and enhancing the natural environment, its ecosystems and biological diversity within these areas through development permit guidelines. The guidelines were to be based on recognized ecological standards and practices and limit the level of use and development of these areas. The application is still in the early phase, with the ministry collecting feedback from stakeholders and the public able to provide input until July 28. Thompson is also circulating a petition she plans to present to city council. Though the ministry is the governing body and will make the final decision, the province is currently working with the organizations and local First Nations to obtain input into the application, said Dawn Makarowski, public affairs officer for the BC Ministry of Forests.

Tenters deserve a break on park campground fees Summer is a time for camping. One great thing about Alberta is the large selection of campgrounds. There are many campgrounds in the mountains, foothills, parklands and boreal forest. The choices are endless. As an avid camper, there is one aspect that always ruffles my sleeping bag. Why do tenters pay the same rate in campgrounds as unserviced RVs? In July, I went
camping in William A. Switzer Provincial Park, near Hinton. The park has five campgrounds and each is popular. After going for a paddle in my new packraft (which I sat in backwards and used my paddle upside down. I’m very good at watersports), we found an empty campsite and set up my small, tired and fading, green tent. It was the only tent in the entire campground.

We went to pay at the kiosk and a sign said we could only pay online. Luckily the campground had cell service and we got out the smartphone. The Alberta Parks booking site prompted us to pay the $33 per night fee and another $12 “reservation fee.” We couldn’t find a iam way to get around the reservation fee (later arrap I discovered we could have phoned Alberta time it wasn’t clear). Parks to not pay the It didn’t matter if extra fee, but at the you had a tent the

size of a tissue box or an RV with a master bedroom, chandeliers and a convection oven. The price was the same. No exceptions. For $5 more, I could have gotten a motel in Edson. Sure it wouldn’t have been glamorous, but it still would have had solid walls, roof and water that doesn’t need to be boiled for five minutes to be safe for drinking. Now, I’m not against RVs. They
are a great way to explore Canada in relative comfort. But a shelter of tissue-thin-fabric held up with metal sticks isn’t the same as a house on wheels. And thus, they should be charged differently. Tents have a far lower environmental impact, take up a fraction of space and are usually used by poorer folk. In the U.S., some campgrounds not only have a separate cost between unser-
viced RV sites and tents, but also have a different price if you hiked/biked to the campground and don’t have a car. In Glacier National Park in Montana, hiker/biker sites are $8 plus $5 for each additional person. Part of Park Canada’s mandate is “to protect … as a first priority, the natural and cultural heritage of our special places and ensure that they remain healthy and whole.”
Since preservation is key in a national park, it makes sense to provide incentives to people who visit without a car and in a more environmentally friendly way. In the end, perhaps the best choice is to just camp on Crown land. Then it doesn’t matter how you got there or what you sleep in. Each night is the same price. Free.

Planning a family meal A family meal is what happens when you work hard tiresome jobs with a close-knit group of people that are underpaid and undervalued (everyone?). It is a way of simply saying thank you to your colleagues and showing them you appreciate them by putting in the time to feed them every day. Every restaurant and cafe should be doing this as a team because it is the right way to treat those you are closest with. Not to mention access to wholesale food prices, no excuses. This also should be the practice of everyone’s workplace week, showing gratitude this way is so fun. People you work with are never guaranteed perfect and sometimes relationships strain when you spend eight hours a day with somebody. Discussing food made with love and not labour or work can mend so many fences. If you can take the time to cook, you must. The feeling of giving is so wonderful, especially when it is food, it shows you know somebody so intimately. Even if you do not cook and you order out or in, it presents an opportunity to acknowledge you have listened to

New microbrewery opens in Revelstoke Rumpus Beer Co. opens in Revelstoke Danielle Hebert Special to the Review
Revelstoke is now home to a funky new microbrewery, Rumpus Beer Company. The brewery and lounge officially opened their doors on June 15. The opening comes after about fifteen months of work in the space for the owners, and married couple, Fred and Dana Orndorff, as well as nine years of dreaming, conceiving and planning. The Ordnorffs moved to Revelstoke three years ago with the goal of opening a microbrewery in mind. Dana was on vacation when she met Fred in a Colorado brewery where he was brewing at the time. It turns out that brewing was Fred’s ticket to immigration to Canada and he landed a job in Canmore, where the couple lived until moving to Revelstoke in 2016. Fred described the operation as a “mom and pop shop” and

But we really love the social scene that comes along with that and how it brings people together.” Fred said it is for that reason that he intentionally brews craft beers with comparatively lower alcohol percentages than many other microbreweries do so that the product is accessible and can be enjoyed as a fun social time and not be too intoxicating for customers. Fred add he has been touched by the community support and excitement leading up to the opening of the Rumpus Beer Company. He said that the community was a big reason for them to make their home in Revelstoke and start their business here. And the community has not disappointed, the lounge has been full of happy Revelstokians supporting the latest addition to the bar and restaurant scene, as well as enjoying some unique and creative, finely crafted brews.

The Staggers & Jaggs’ all new, original recipe ear wax has been mending holes in souls for over three years now. One bottle contains enough psychedelic jipsy swang, freaked folk and barn-burnin’telling-it-like-it-isms to soothe the most cantankerous of beasts, and drown the stubbornest of sorrows. So lick your fingers please, high-five your new friends and stagger away with you mile wide earsplitting grin.
Myra started playing fiddle when she was 9 years old, playing for several years with her older fiddle-playing sister. They learned a majority of their tunes at music camps and festivals in West Virginia, particularly Allegheny Echoes and Augusta Old-Time Week. Myra was fortunate to have the influences of mentors Cathy Grant, John Morris, and Bobby Taylor who walked her through the basics, and stylistic aspects of fiddling while also instilling an appreciation for the cultural significance of the music. She has played in various band configurations including the Berea College Bluegrass Ensemble and the “Old Irregular String Band”. Myra has since been kidnapped by Denis Severino and now fiddles around the BC Interior with The Tappalachian String Band. Denis met Myra during his first visit to Appalachia to immerse himself in the depths of old-time music. Myra and Denis make a long road trip every summer journeying back to Appalachia to stay connected to the music, friends and family out east.

Honouring her ancestors through her art Danielle Hebert Special to the Review
For North Vancouver artist Jenn Ashton, whose work will be showing at the Revelstoke Art Gallery from June 28 to July 19, the artistic journey has been a wild ride. Ashton decided to take up painting as a semi-retirement hobby in 2015. She enrolled in a six-week online course to get herself started. Little did she know that it would be the beginning of a whirlwind journey for her as her unique and playful style and paintings became more and more popular. After finishing her course she participated in her first only two months later. Then over the three years that have followed, she has exhibited work in more than 80 shows. The highlight of her painting career (so far) was in 2018 when she showed work at the renowned New York Museum of Modern Art. Ashton said she falls into the class and style of “naive painters, which means a painter with no training.” Ashton said that she prefers to work with acrylic paint but does dabble and mix in other mediums as well. She describes her creative process as intuitive and she said that when she’s creating she goes
a voice and that, from time to time, she also expresses environmental and political concepts with it. The collection of work Ashton is showing at the Revelstoke Art Gallery is entitled Ancestry: The Art of Belonging. This show is a reflection of the work that she has done over the past several years to uncover her lost family heritage. Ashton said that she knew that she was of First Nation descent but that her family had lost their connection with that ancestry. Since she began researching her family heritage, she has come to learn that she is descended from the last full blood Squamish family from the Stanley Park area of Vancouver. Her ancestors called that area home up until the city of Vancouver grew around them and eventually changed the geographical and socio-political landscape to the point where they were no longer able to continue living there. The paintings themselves are recreations of images that she came across while researching her anJenn Ashton’s upcoming show Ancestry: The Art of Belonging, is a series of portraits based on photographs she found while researching cestry, done in her charismatic and her long lost ancestry.

We want to be a part of creative solutions that enhance equity, sustainability and fairness that help lay the groundwork for a brighter, safer future.” The RBC Future Launch Community Challenge will enable youth to apply for funding to support their bold ideas to address urgent community priorities. It is an opportunity for young people to lead, learn new skills, gain experience, and build relationships in their local communities–all things that will help them prepare for the future of work.

The Carbons to kick off annual Summer Street Fest Jocelyn Doll Revelstoke Review Staff
Revelstoke Summer Street Fest kicks off this weekend with performances by the Revelstoke Pipe Band and The Carbons. Now based in Kelowna, Tomy Thisdale has been lead guitar and vocals for The Carbons since August 2018. Since then he has recruited both a new drummer, Paul Minor, and a new bass player, Conroy Ross. Thisdale and the original band members played their first show in the midst of wildfire season last summer and there was ash falling from the sky during their concert. When they were in the studio recording their
album a few months later they decided to pay homage to that moment and called their album August Ash. Thisdale moved to Kelowna from Calgary, where he had both played with a band and dabbled as an acoustic solo act. Though he was warned about the music scene in his new city, it just keeps getting better and better. “Honestly I found home when I moved to Kelowna,” he said. Thisdale picked up guitar in high school. He was already playing drums but saw his jazz teacher on drums, guitar and piano. He thought, I can do it to and learned to play, at first dabbling in death metal.
That eventually transitioned to more of a Jack Johnson, Michael Bublé feel, Thisdale said with a laugh. These days the band describes its sound as groove rock, and if they don’t have you dancing they will at least have your foot tapping. The songs come to the band in different ways. For example, Black Mirror, its latest release,

started as a couple guitar riffs that Thisdale came up with while he was in Nicaragua. The lyrics and melody came afterwards. Sometimes it is the other way around and the band starts with a lyric or a melody, said Thisdale. It released an album last fall and have enough songs for another, so expect a lot of original music in Grizzly Plaza June 29.

There are thousands of theories about the therapeutic effects of coffee. Some say coffee prevents Parkinson’s or at least reduces some of the symptoms while others say it has no effect on the disease. Some say it may even help protect against Alzheimer’s disease.

City of Revelstoke paid $6.66 million in wages for 2018 Jocelyn Doll Revelstoke Review Staff
The city paid out $6.66 million in wages in 2018 according to their Statement of Financial Information. The report, which is required annually by the province, includes a statement of assets and liabilities, a schedule of debts and other city financial statements. A small part of that almost $7 million paid mayor and council wages. Last years outgoing councillors were paid $12,500 each for the year, plus expenses which varied from
$435 to $2,171. Former Mayor Mark McKee was paid $25,301.88 and $12,176 in expenses. Councillor Scott Duke’s renumeration was reported as $12,801, higher than the others, because he received a discount for an annual pass to the community centre, which is a taxable benefit. The current council, which started in November, have so far each been paid $2,550 and no expenses have been claimed, while Mayor Gary Sulz, who is being paid for his last term as well
as his new position as mayor was paid $17,600 with $485 in expenses. The report also identifies city staff who are paid more than $75,000 a year, which makes up for $2.5 million of the pay roll. The top earner last year was former chief administrative officer Alan Chabot, who was paid $136,352 and paid out $10,236 in expenses. Tania McCabe, director of finance, was the next highest paid employee at $125, 990, followed by Mike Thomas,
former director or engineering and development services at $125,620, and Dwayne Voykin, fire
chief, at $117,088. Other staff over the $100,000 a year include firefighter Sean Creighton, for-
mer fire chief Roger Echlin, firefighter Daniel Hutchison, utilities foreman Doug Pendergast,
firefighter Matt Robinson, former director of development services Nigel Whitehead and pro-
gram analyst Geoff Wilson. There are 27 city employees who are paid more than $75,000 a year.

In a news release, Ted Morton, director of the Norco Canadian Enduro Series, said, “Revelstoke, B.C. holds a special place in my heart. “Ever since I stepped foot here, I know it was a special place. To be able to host the first ever EWS North American stop outside of a bike park is truly special.” He furthered, “I think everyone would agree that this weekend was likely one of the most technically and physically demanding enduro races in the world.” The final round will be held in the U.S. on Sept. 15, but the location has yet to be released.

Caribou protection plan takes first interim step forward Black Press Media
The provincial government plans to sign a caribou protection strategy while it imposes an interim moratorium on new resource development in areas where the animals are struggling for survival. Premier John Horgan said a report on caribou recovery recommends the pause to allow for consultation with communities, industries and First Nations. The report released today by Blair Lekstrom, a former Liberal member of the legislature, makes 14 recommendations. The caribou population in northeastern B.C. has dwindled over the last two decades. The government said stopping what it describes as “new high-impact forestry and mining activities”
is necessary while a management plan is developed. Forests Minister Doug Donaldson said the government is pro-
tecting caribou herds and limiting the potential economic impact. In April, Horgan said the issue of temporary protection for
the caribou had inflamed passions over a lack of understanding about saving the animals.
