Mountain climber dies on Mt. Rogers in Glacier National Park

A family climbing expedition ended in tragedy on Wednesday when a man died in a fall on Mt. Rogers in Glacier National Park.

Golden RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Troy Durand said RCMP were notified of the incident 6 p.m. on Aug. 8.

He said a father and son pair encountered severe weather conditions while climbing on the Mt. Rogers Glacier. They were attempting to return to their base camp when they slipped.

The pair slid for about 100 metres before falling about 10 metres over a crevasse.

The father, aged 52, died in the fall. His 22-year-old son survived the fall and managed to return to base camp to sum-mon help.

A Parks Canada Search and Rescue team returned to the scene on the morning of Aug. 9 where they recovered the body of the deceased man.

The climbers are from 108 Mile Ranch, B.C.

The B.C. Coroners Service identified the victim as Jon Howard Sortome.

Sortome’s family requested privacy following the incident.

The Southeast Fire Centre is expe-

riencing a very slow forest fi re season,

due largely to very wet months in June

and July – but it’s starting to pick up.

Had it been any other year, the spec-

tacular thunderstorm in the skies over

Revelstoke on the evening of Aug. 6

would likely have touched off a few.

But due to wet conditions, the storm

hasn’t started any confi rmed fi res of

note the next day.

As of Aug. 3, there had been 39

fi res burning a total of 175 hectares.

That’s way below the fi ve-year aver-

age of 184 fi res burning 1,300 hect-

ares by this point in the summer.

Fire Information Offi cer Karlie

Shaughnessey said at this rate it is on

pace to be the slowest fi re season in 50

years of recorded wildfi re history.

As of Aug. 7, the Southeast Fire

Centre hadn’t had a notable wild-

fi re since May 15, when a fi re burned

a modest 53 hectares southwest of

Invermere.

Rain is at the root of the slow sea-

son. Revelstoke has been very wet in

June and July.

Southeast Fire Centre forecaster

Ron Lakeman said a Ministry of For-

ests weather station near Revelstoke

got 191 mm of rain in June – that’s

255 per cent of normal.

July was also wet. The same station

got 74 mm of rain, or 114 per cent of

normal.

On the whole, the Southeast has

been wet, but the Revelstoke area has

experienced more rain than southern

regions in the district.

Shaughnessey said the forest is

slowly drying out “a little bit” and that

should continue into August.

“Campfi res are still a go as long as

you keep them small,” Shaughnessey

explained. There is an open burning

ban, but campfi res less than 50 centi-

metres in height and diameter are still

allowed.

ACTIVITY UP IN SOUTHERN PORTION OF SOUTHEAST

As of Aug. 10 fi re crews were deal-

ing with 34 new fi res, 29 of which

were caused by lightning.

A fi re on Skimmer Horn Mountain

near Creston was listed at 38 hectares.

New fi res of note were reported on

Aug. 12 near the Keenleyside Dam

at Syringa and Five Mile Creek near

Nelson.

On Aug. 13 crews dealt with a fi re

in the Kootenay–Boundary region.

“Several other spot-sized fi res

(less than one hectare) are burning

as a result of recent thunderstorms

within the fi re centre,” Shaughnessey

said. “Most of these fi res are located

in remote areas and are not affecting

nearby communities,”

Soggy June and July puts fi re season on pace for record lowA Revelstoke area BC Forest Service weather station recorded 255 per cent of normal precipitation in June, dampening fi re season

Remember scenes like these? It’s been a slow fi re season in the Southeast Fire Centre, especially in its northern Columbia district, where there haven’t been any fi res like this. File photo

Times Review staff

SOME FIRE QUICK FACTS:· Since April 1, the South-

east Fire Centre has responded

to 73 wildfi res, 29 of which were

caused by people.

· Leaving a campfi re unat-

tended can result in a $345 fi ne.

There have been 137 campfi re

incidents this season, which have

taken resources away from natu-

ral occurring fi res.

· To report a wildfi re or unat-

tended campfi re, call *5555 on

your cell phone or 1 800 663-

The idea of digitalization of the human body is coming. There are blood glucose machines that can connect to an iPhone. Soon, blood pressure and other vital statistics will be added and can be downloaded to your doctor. Eventually, your genetic data will be in a form that will allow your doctor to prescribe the drug that will work best for you.

Bruising is more common as we get older. Tiny blood vessels, called capillaries in our skin become more fragile and are more likely to rupture. Also the skin contains less fat so there is less protection for the capillaries. Even though we bruise more easily as we age, your doctor should be consulted if you have large painful bruises or bruises that come on suddenly.

Heartburn results when the valve that shuts off the tube to the stomach doesn’t seal well enough and allows the food to come back up the tube (esophagus). Because that food has been mixing with stomach acid, this regurgitation causes the burning feeling in the esophagus. If heartburn becomes chronic, see your doctor.

If you have to give

your child a medication that doesn’t taste that good, try giving a cold treat like a Popsicle before and after giving the medicine. The cold will help numb the taste buds and make the bad taste less noticeable.

Our pharmacists feel that keeping current with all the latest advances in medicine and pharmacy is important. It enables us to serve you better.

Participants in Okanagan College’s Pathways to Success program visited the Revelstoke Times Review offi ce on Aug. 9. Par-ticipants are visiting local businesses to gain knowledge of the types of employment opportunities available and to learn about what kind of skills employers are looking for. While here, they got a chance to look through our archives, which date back to 1894. Picture from left: Pathways to Success coordinator Megan Shandro, Destinee Leduc, Eric Rienks and Travis Kehler.

Pathways to Success

One person suffering from serious injuries was

fl own by helicopter to Kelowna General Hospital on

Monday, Aug. 6 following a motor vehicle crash on

the Trans-Canada.

The incident happened at about 11:30 a.m. at a

location about 107 kilometres east of Revelstoke on

the eastern side of Rogers Pass.

BC Ambulance Service spokesperson Kelsie Car-

withen said the incident involved two vehicles that

had rolled over and crashed into the ditch.

Four people were involved in the crash. One per-

son suffering from serious injuries was fl own to hos-

pital in Kelowna, while two others with non life

threatening injuries were transported to hospital in

Golden. The fourth refused treatment.

The Golden RCMP were not available for com-

ment, so further details on the cause of the crash are

not available.

Revelstoke RCMP responded to other MVIs on

the Trans-Canada near Revelstoke on Aug 6.

A Revelstoke RCMP spokesperson said a four-ve-

hicle rear-ender just west of Revelstoke in the early

afternoon didn’t result in any injuries. One vehicle

failed to notice slowing traffi c and crashed into the

vehicle in front of it propelling it into two more cars

ahead.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper

has rejected suggestions his gov-

ernment is considering push-

ing through the proposed North-

ern Gateway oil pipeline across

northern B.C.

Harper was asked about

Enbridge Inc.’s pipeline project

at a stop in Vancouver Tuesday,

and the frequent accusation that

he has already decided it is in the

national interest for it to proceed.

“I’ve been very clear that deci-

sions on these kinds of projects

are made through an independent

evaluation conducted by scien-

tists into the economic costs and

risks that are associated with the

project,” Harper said.

“I think that’s the only way

governments can handle contro-

versial projects of this manner, to

ensure that things are evaluated

on an independent basis, scientif-

ically, and not simply on political

criteria.”

Harper told reporters he has

spoken with B.C. Premier Christy

Clark and other premiers about

pipelines, but those conversations

are private. It’s his fi rst public

comment since a dispute erupted

between Clark and Alberta Pre-

mier Alison Redford in July over

Clark’s demand for more reve-

nues.

“I’m not going to get into an

argument or discussion about

how we divide hypothetical rev-

enues,” Harper said.

He did emphasize that in gen-

eral, it is important for Canada

to diversify its trade and open up

new markets in Asia. The federal

government is planning “huge

investments” to improve environ-

mental protection for shipping

resource material, but it won’t

favour any individual project, he

said.

Kinder Morgan hopes to twin

its existing oil pipeline from

Alberta to port and refi nery facili-

ties in Burnaby, to transport more

heavy oil from the Athabasca oil

sands. But the company has not

yet formally applied for federal

environment assessment.

Clark initially said her govern-

ment would wait until the federal

assessment of Enbridge is con-

cluded in 2013 before deciding

whether to support it. Then in late

July, the B.C. government pre-

sented a list of fi ve preconditions,

including a positive recommen-

dation from the federal review.

The others are “world-leading”

oil spill prevention and response

capability on land and at sea,

meeting legal requirements to

consult and accommodate aborig-

inal groups along pipeline routes,

and a “fair share” of oil revenues

for B.C.

A Robson author is looking for stories, photos, and family histories to help her write a comprehensive book on the Arrow Lakes.

“The goal is a complete analy-sis of the Upper and Lower Ar-row Lakes and the narrows,” says Takaia Larsen, who has a $9,000 Columbia Basin Trust grant to complete the manuscript within 18 months.

The book will devote one chap-ter to each town that once dotted the lake.

“I’m still deciding what defi nes a town, but thinking wherever the SS Minto stopped,” she says. “If it had a store, it was a town.”

She fi gures 28 places between Castlegar and Arrowhead met that criteria before dam construction of the 1960s fl ooded many of them.

Her interest began several years ago when she created an exhibit about Renata for the Kootenay Gal-lery. Despite growing up in the area and boating recreationally on the lake, she didn’t realize how many communities there once were.

“The work on that one town made me realize there were so many,” she says.

Larsen adds while a number of books have already been published on such places as Burton, Edge-wood, Arrowhead, and Nakusp, her project will synthesize them all.

As a history instructor at Selkirk

College, she has longed for a single volume covering the whole area.

“It’s so scattered and it’s hard for students to get a sense of the history of the whole region,” she says.

She’s particularly intrigued with Oatscott, the Indian reserva-tion opposite Burton that reverted

to the Crown in 1953. “I’ve always wondered how that land came into the hands of the province because it was privately owned,” she says. “I’m hoping I can shed light on that.”

She’s also curious about Rob-son, where she lives on what used to be a large orchard.

She’s hoping to use previously untapped resources, and already has some leads. The Castlegar Heritage Society has 50 pages of transcripts from interviews done 20 years ago, plus materials that used to be housed at the Kootenay Gal-lery.

The Arrow Lakes Historical So-ciety has over 400 taped interviews conducted by Milt Parent dating back to 1972. And later this month Larsen will visit the BC Archives to listen to other audio interviews of Arrow Lakes residents from the Imbert Orchard collection.

She’s also working with Bruce Rohn, who was raised in Renata, and has many photos.

“It’s a huge project,” she says. “I want it to be well researched and academic but for a popular audi-

ence. I’d like to be able to use it at the college. I want people to be able to pick it up and read it.”

Larsen applied unsuccessfully for project funding last year, but thanks to support from local heri-tage groups, was luckier this time around.

The grant only covers the re-search phase. Afterward she’ll have to fi nd a publisher.

The book is tentatively titled And Then the Waters Rose: His-tories and Memories of the Arrow Lakes.

Once published, Larsen plans to do a reading tour of the entire Co-lumbia Basin, noting East Kootenay residents were similarly displaced by hydro-electric development.

Larsen has two other titles under her belt. She turned her thesis on women working at Cominco during World War II into Sewing the Seeds: Women, Work, and Memory. She also co-authored a limited-edition history of the Castlegar pulp mill, Working Together: Celgar’s First 50 Years in the West Kootenay.

Larsen can be reached at 250-365-3900 or [email protected].

Revelstoke city council wants

city property owners to clean up

the graffi ti on their buildings, so

they’re starting a public outreach

and enforcement campaign.

Currently, property owners are

required to remove graffi ti from

their buildings when asked by the

city. If they don’t comply on time,

city crews will remove the graffi ti

and hand them the bill.

The latest enforcement initiative

was prompted by members of city

council, who asked city staff to get

on top of the fi le.

The city is working with the

Chamber of Commerce on the

issue. They’re planning public out-

reach during August and will then

start a notifi cation to businesses in

September.

October 1 is the deadline to com-

ply. If you think you can remove or

cover the graffi ti for cheaper than

the city crews, you’ll need to have

it done before that date

City moves to make businesses deal with graffi ti

Ain’t no Banksy here. Revelstoke has an awful graffi ti problem — not an awful lot of it, but what we do have is pretty awful artistically — like these scrawls. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

The Volunteer Medical

Transportation Program, coor-

dinated through the Revelstoke

Senior Citizens’ Association,

has received a much needed

boost to its contingency fund

for fuel expenses.

This community-based pro-

gram, which provides trans-

portation for out of town medi-

cal appointments to individuals

in our community, compen-

sates its volunteer drivers for

fuel expenses and a meal while

away from home.

The program has seen an

unexpected increase in use

and its contingency fund was

quickly depleting. In typical

Revelstoke fashion, the ser-

vice clubs and other non-profi t

organizations have stepped for-

ward to help out and ensure

that everyone in our commu-

nity is able to meet their med-

ical needs.

The Revelstoke Senior Cit-

izens’ Association wishes to

sincerely thank the following

organizations for their generos-

ity and continued support.

The Revelstoke Lions Club

The Knights of Pythias, Gold

Range Lodge #26

The Order of the Eastern Star,

The Moberly Park Manor

iliary Society

These organizations and

their members continue to con-

tribute to our community, mak-

ing it a better place to live and

showing that community spirit

and giving are alive and well

here in Revelstoke.

Heartfelt thanks to every-

one who has contributed to our

Volunteer Medical Transporta-

tion Program and to the volun-

teers, all of whom have helped

to make it a success.

In the August 8 edition of the Rev-

elstoke Times Review you couldn’t

help but notice the 12 Intentions to

Apply for an Investigative License on

Crown Land for run-of-river projects.

The sheer number of intentions, which

took up almost seven pages in the

classifi eds, represents the mismanage-

ment of our creeks and rivers. While

these types of notices are new due to

recently policy changes they still mark

the beginning for these projects to

become a reality.

I have visited a majority of the pro-

posed creeks and rivers but some are

just too remote to access. Some of the

proposals are near existing infrastruc-

ture like transmission lines, highways,

and logging roads that would lessen

the impact compared to the remote

ones but the environmental risk is still

to great compared to the benefi ts. The

Goldstream River Valley, 90 kilome-

tres north of Revelstoke is home to

seven proposals by two private com-

panies. Towards the upper part of the

valley Norman Wood Creek, Upper

Goldstream River, and Stitt Creek all

have proposals on them and if built all

three powerhouses would be within

one kilometre of each other. This is

just another example of mismanage-

ment and poor planning associated

with the Independent Power Producer

program.

The way these projects are eval-

uated are on a one-off style of crite-

ria and there is no cumulative impact

studies done in relation to separate

nearby projects or on a whole for the

province. Run-of-river (more along

the line of river diversion) projects are

not new but the technology has come

a long way. However, there have been

no scientifi c studies done on the eco-

logical effects of these run-of-river

projects. A new publication out of

UBC about BC’s Inland Rainforest

highlights the concerns about run-of-

river projects specifi cally near Revel-

stoke. It outlines concerns due to the

reduction of aquatic invertebrate pro-

duction even if fi sh habitat is not com-

promised. Also the effects associated

with the rise of water and creek bed

temperatures within the area where

the creek or river has been diverted are

still not known. Compound these with

the reduction of spray zones around

waterfalls, within the diversion reach,

which create unique humid environ-

ments that promote a high diversity

of lichens and other plants. The envi-

ronmental effects are uncertain and

clearly more research is needed.

In my opinion the negatives out-

number the positives for the Inde-

pendent Power Producers (IPP) pro-

gram. Crown land tenures are given

to private power companies, the com-

pany alters the watershed forever for

what it calls ‘green’ energy, the proj-

ects receives lucrative payments from

BC Hydro to produce the power (Cur-

rently BC Hydro owes $35 Billion in

outstanding IPP contracts). There is

little government oversight of the proj-

ects due to budget cuts, and add that to

the fact that the power comes mostly

in spring – when BC Hydro’s reser-

voirs are fi lled to the brim.

Recently the government has

altered the process and mandates asso-

ciated with IPPs, as mentioned in last

week’s article. The fact that the cur-

rent government wishes to supply the

new LNG processing plants with IPP

electricity is asinine. The industrial-

ization of hundreds of creeks and riv-

ers in British Columbia for the perpe-

tration of a fossil fuel industry is not

in the best interest of British Columbi-

ans. We will bear the brunt of the costs

for this expensive IPP electricity as

ratepayers. Also, where will the elec-

tricity come during the winter months

when the run-of-river projects are run-

ning at their lowest? These band-

aid style solutions with no long-term

planning continues to bankrupt BC

Hydro and will end the era for one of

the most profi table Crown corpora-

tions in Canada.

Private companies wanting to industrialize B.C.’s

creeks and rivers are strictly profi t driven and would

have no interest in conservation approaches; the

more water that fl ows the more money being made.

There has also been major malfunctions with IPP

run-of-river projects and were brought to light in a

FOI request by the Wilderness Committee earlier in

the year.

In some cases creeks and rivers have run dry for

days due to problems with the intake structure, and

also stranding and killing fi sh. One of those mis-

haps was at the Akolkolex River facility just south

of Revelstoke in 2005 where water was not observed

for three days in the diversion reach. The cause was

faulty equipment resulting in an excess of energy

being produced. This is not acceptable and once

again highlights the failings associated with run-of-

river projects and the IPP program.

We are experiencing a gold rush mentality on our

precious natural resources with the current provin-

cial government over the last ten years. We as Brit-

ish Columbians must continue to speak up about

this ‘bullish’ mentality that everything has a dollar

value. Not all run-of-river style projects are bad but

the way they are managed benefi ts private interests

and not ratepayers. Let’s do green energy right.

Flood of IPP activity to feed LNG demand is not ‘green’

How many cars were stolen last week-

end in Revelstoke? How many unin-

sured, high-end mountain bikes went

missing? What about break and enters?

Who knows.

Unlike in many jurisdictions in the

U.S., the RCMP don’t maintain a pub-

licly-accessible police blotter at their sta-

tions. Unlike in the U.S., reporters, blog-

gers and citizens don’t have access to

consistent statistics on recent criminal

activity.

What crimes are and are not disclosed

to the public are completely at the dis-

cretion of the police.

Therefore, we can have a wave of

bike thefts, snowmobile thefts or break

and enters and have little idea it’s going

on until the thieves have left town with

their loot. The public doesn’t know to be

on the lookout.

We regularly have serious MVIs on

our dangerous strip of the Trans-Canada

that go unreported because they happen

after hours. This lets provincial politi-

cal authorities off the hook by hiding the

human toll our aging, dangerous high-

way takes.

Yes, the local RCMP do release

information on crimes from time to time,

but these releases lack consistency. Our

hunch is it’s partially based on staffi ng

levels that week. Or crime events that

portray the RCMP in a positive light –

like intercepting a marijuana shipment

headed to Fort McMurray from Vancou-

ver. Monthly stats do exist but they’re

too general to be practical and useful –

and aren’t timely.

In addition, a fair chunk of the media

releases ourselves and other Revelstoke

media outlets receive are based on ini-

tial enquiries by the Revelstoke Times

Review – which isn’t an ideal situation

as we don’t have a sixth crime-detecting

sense. This also contributes to inconsis-

tent reporting.

We don’t think crime is a big issue in

Revelstoke, but as recent Stats Canada

statistics point out, it’s higher than the

national average and dogged by things

like petty thefts – which aren’t petty to

the owner of a $3,500 mountain bike

who’d love public assistance in getting it

back with the help of a timely descrip-

tion.

Just the facts, presented in a consis-

tent, clear and timely fashion would help

empower the public to take a bite out of

crime in Revelstoke.

Consistent crime reporting would help inform public, reduce crime

Darren KomonoskiOperations Manager, Public Works Department

B.C.’s Christy Clark was right to

walk away from a national energy

strategy promoted by Alberta’s Ali-

son Redford at a provincial premiers’

meeting in Halifax in late July. She

just did it for the wrong reasons.

Clark said she won’t sign on unless

B.C. is guaranteed a bigger share of

benefi ts from the proposed Enbridge

Northern Gateway pipeline project.

But all the money in China, Alberta,

and Enbridge’s bank accounts won’t

be enough to undo the damage from

a major leak near one of the thousand

waterways the dual pipeline would

cross, or from a supertanker spill

along the B.C. coast.

B.C.’s premier should have

renounced the proposal because it’s

focused more on tar sands, pipe-

lines, and markets than on getting

Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions

under control by shifting from fossil

fuel dependency to a more effi cient

system based on conservation and

renewable energy.

Canadians want and need an

energy strategy. We need it to com-

bat the ever-increasing damage from

global warming, to make better use of

our resources, to ensure energy secu-

rity for all Canadians, to respect the

rights of aboriginal people, and to

create long-term jobs and economic

prosperity. That calls for a better plan

than quickly digging up all our bitu-

men and coal and selling it to China

and fracking the hell out of every

piece of ground that might have some

gas in it.

Oil, gas, and coal are valuable and

fi nite resources. All represent energy

from the sun that has been stored

through photosynthesis and con-

centrated over millions of years. We

waste a lot of it, especially when we

burn it in private automobiles that use

only about 15 per cent of the energy

to move the car. Because a car typi-

cally weighs 10 to 20 times more

than the passengers it carries, we’re

only getting about one per cent effi -

ciency from the fuel.

Instead of wasting 99 per cent of

this complex and useful non-renew-

able chemical mix, we could use more

of it to make everything from bicycle

tires and computer keyboards to heart

valves and artifi cial limbs. And surely

we can even fi nd more effi cient and

less polluting ways to use it for fuel.

A rational energy strategy – one

that benefi ts Canadians more than

multinational corporations and the

repressive regime in China – would

recognize the value of our limited

resources not just for fuel and prod-

ucts but as a way to generate steady

revenue to help us shift to renewable

energy.

What would such a strategy look

like? It’s already too late to stop

global warming, but we can con-

tribute to making it less severe. That

means shifting away from fossil fuels

as quickly as possible. Canada would

have to reduce its emissions by 80

per cent from 1990 levels by 2050 to

do its part to avoid dangerous warm-

ing over 2° C. Instead of doubling oil

sands production, we need to reduce

the energy we get from fossil fuels by

more than 70 per cent.

The target is possible if we trans-

form our energy system over the next

40 years, according to the Trottier

Energy Futures Project, a joint effort

between the David Suzuki Founda-

tion and the Canadian Academy of

Engineering. Renewable energy use

would have to double. Energy pro-

duction from non-hydro renewables

such as wind, solar, and biomass

would have to increase 150 times

from today’s levels. We would also

have to make our country 50 per cent

more energy effi cient. This could be

accomplished by building only net-

zero buildings by 2050 and retrofi t-

ting existing buildings to the highest

effi ciency standards.

It would take vision and commit-

ment, including unlocking fi nanc-

ing to enable energy effi cient ret-

rofi ts and renewable energy devel-

opment, training workers to retrofi t

homes and install local renewable

generation, building a fl exible elec-

tricity grid, and converting refi neries

to biofuel production from biomass

byproducts.

Although the 2007 plan Pre-

mier Redford and her fellow leaders

hope to build on mentions renewable

energy and climate change, it doesn’t

offer the bold vision needed to real-

ize the many benefi ts – and the neces-

sity – of reducing our reliance on fos-

sil fuels. We need a broad and com-

prehensive strategy. Had Premier

Clark embraced and articulated such

a vision, she would have been seen as

a real leader.

Our energy future requires leaders with bold vision

Revelstoke + rain + warm* weather = mosquitoes!

It is mosquito season once again. There could be a bumper crop in Revelstoke this year with all the early summer rain and the recent warm weather. Prevention is the best thing so hunt around your gardens and yard for any still water that could be the breeding ground for mosquitoes. A small bucket, a plugged gutter on your roof, garbage can lid, or an old hubcap – all can hold just enough of water for spawning hundreds of mosquitoes. It only requires 7-14 days for a mosquito to grow from an egg to a fl ying adult. Just remember that mosquitoes can carry the West Nile Virus – an infection can produce fl u-like symptoms, headache, body aches and skin rash. Rarely, meningitis or encephalitis can occur. There are no specifi c treatments for West Nile virus infection. Be sure to check with your doctor if the above symptoms persist.

If you do get bitten by a mosquito the reaction is usually localized, with itching, swelling and accompanying redness. This reaction is your body allergy response to the proteins in the saliva that is injected into the skin by the mosquito. Application of a counter irritant such as ammonia

(e.g. After Bite) to the bite area may help with the itching. Topical antihistamines (i.e. Benadryl) have a topical anesthetic effect, however avoid applying to large areas especially to children as toxicity has occurred from excess absorption through the skin. Contact dermatitis has occurred with topical antihistamines so be sure to discontinue if any irritation occurs. Use of a topical steroid such as hydrocortisone cream can reduce itching and swelling. Occasionally an oral antihistamine may be given to help with the itching and swelling. Non-sedating antihistamines such as loratidine (e.g. Claritin) or cetrizine (e.g. Reactine) can be given to persons who are more sensitive to the mosquito bite.

Insect bites can sometimes become infected secondarily by bacteria. If symptoms do not improve after several days or the area increasingly swells, becomes more red, tender, painful and warm to the touch – you should seek further medical attention through your family physician.

Your local Pharmasave pharmacist is available 7 days a week to answer all your summer fi rst aid inquiries. Open Sundays 11-5. Live well with Pharmasave.

Blackberry Wood has kicked up dust in towns all over Western Canada, the United Kingdom and parts of the United States and will bring its alternative country-gypsy-circus music to the Grizzly Plaza this Friday, Aug. 17. Vancouver’s Blackberry Wood puts a high-energy cabaret spin on old and modern music adding juicy fl avours like jumpin’ ska, skiffl e, folk, punk and many other foot stomping delights to their original and timeless down-home music. Blackberry Wood comes down the road like a traveling caravan with all kinds of wondrous instruments, vocal melodies, and fantastically costumed characters. Some have describe their music as Tijuana-Hillbilly-Ska. Their sound slips from gypsy folk to ragtime to country and, when you least expect it, in slides a bit of hip hop and world beats. Fit to compete with the cast of Moulin Rouge with their zany costumes, Blackberry Wood seems ready to strike up a burlesque hoedown just about anywhere you plunk them down. The motley crew is led by front man Kris Wood and the fun loving band is making a name for itself on both sides of the Atlantic. Veterans of the UK’s prestigious Glastonbury Festival — they have appeared twice — Blackberry Wood plays all over B.C. and Alberta. Contributed

Award-winning railway historian Robert Turner

will be the special guest when Railway Days takes

place in Revelstoke this week.

Turner, who has written 15 books and published

more than 350 articles on railway and steamship his-

tory, will be on hand for the annual Railway Days

Dinner at the Revelstoke Railway Museum on Fri-

day, Aug. 17 at 5 p.m.

Railway Days celebrates Revelstoke’s 127 years

of railway heritage, which dates back to when Cana-

dian Pacifi c built the railway through town and on

Historian Robert Turner guest at Railway Days 2012

Royal British Columbia Museum curator emeritus has written 15 books on railway and steamship history

ALEX [email protected]

to Craigelleachie just west of town,

where the Last Spike was hammered

in.

The four days of events includes a

photo contest, daily coffee in the busi-

ness car, vintage car show and several

special events.

The highlight is the talk by Turner,

who is the Curator Emeritus at the

Royal British Columbia Museum.

He will give an illustrated presenta-

tion titled The Last Steam Railways,

Around the World. The talk will look

at the use of steam locomotives around

the world, 50 years after they were

retired by CP Rail in Canada.

Steam locomotives are still being

used in mines, steel mills and planta-

tions in many remote countries. Turner

has travelled around the world to doc-

ument their ongoing use in places

like Inner Mongolia in China, Myan-

mar, Vietnam, Bosnia, Serbia, Indone-

sia, Brazil, Paraguay, Pakistan, Syria,

Zimbabwe, Romania, Poland and

other countries.

As he describes it on his website,

“These are not heritage railways, but

places where steam still earns its way

hauling coal, miners, molten steel, and

sugar cane. Within the next few years,

they will all be gone.”

On Saturday, Aug. 18, the Railway

Museum will host family day, with a

number of events scheduled: - CP Rail

will be giving rides up and down Track

Street on its Puffer Belly mini-train.

- The wedge snow plow will be on

hand so people can see how it works

and how the tracks are kept clear in

winter.

- The Salmon Arm Model Railroad

Club will be at the museum demon-

strating their layout.

- Ian Baird will be signing copies

of his book, An Historical Guide to

Canadian Pacifi c Railway Stations in

British Columbia. The book looks at

architecture of the stations as well as

the role they played in community and

commercial life in the towns where

they were located. Stations ranged

from simple log structures to luxu-

rious resorts and Baird looks at their

rapid disappearance and architectural

legacy.

- The museum is planning a Speers

at the Wye event at the CPR park-

ing lot, where people can take rides

on speeders, small railway cars that

were used for track maintenance and

inspection. One will be coming from

Nelson and another from Kamloops.

- The Kettle Valley Brakemen will

perform two 30 minutes sets of rail-

way songs.

- As well, the Revelstoke Acrobats

will give a demonstration, Team Glo-

ria will be serving food, there will be

a bouncy obstacle course for kids, and

Operation Lifesaver will be on hand

to provide information about railway

safety.

On Sunday, Aug. 19, the Railway

Museum is hosting its annual vin-

tage car show in the back lot of the

museum. The Kettle Valley Brakemen

will once again be playing music and

the winners of the Railway Days raffl e

and photo contest will be announced.

Entrance to the photo contest is

open from Aug. 16 at 9 a.m. to Aug.

17 at noon. There are three catego-

A Midsummer Night’s Green reaps the rewards of summerLocal food event will be a must for foodies and those looking to catch up on a summer of momentum in the local food movement

Glen and Nicole Cherlet of the new Eatery on the Green restaurant at the Revelstoke Golf Club will be one of many local restaurants preparing dishes for the Midsummer Night’s Green event. Their restaurant features a new raised bed garden (pictured) and custom smokers they’ll used to prepare a trout salad served in bite-sized portions. The Cherlets have worked at local restaurants for the past few years while looking to establish their own restaurant. The Eatery on the Green features lighter fare with a focus on meats roasted and smoked on site. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

Revelstoke foodies will reap

the rewards of a summer of local

food production this Saturday at

the North Columbia Environmen-

tal Society’s Midsummer Night’s

Green event at Benoit’s Wine Bar.

The event is returning with a

new format. I spoke with organizer

Hailey Ross about what’s on the

menu. Here’s our conversation in

bite-sized morsels, including lots

of talking points for schmoozing at

the event:

Ross says the participating res-

taurants will use local ingredients

to create “something creative and

something different.” She told me

the staff at the Nomad have prom-

ised “to knock people’s socks off.”

Many chefs are planning to get cre-

ative and highlight their talent.

“We kind of expect to see some

pretty neat things coming to the

event,” she said.

It’s a semi-formal affair featur-

ing tapas plates from several local

kitchens. Platters from each res-

taurant will be circulated one at a

time to prevent a mad rush to the

buffet. Unlike last year, there’s no

judging.

Do you know what the most

local winery is? Larch Hills near

Salmon Arm, I’m told. Ross said

they’re happy to have representa-

tives from Larch Hills at the event.

They’ll be providing wines, sam-

ples and information on their prod-

ucts – and it’s at Benoit’s so there’s

lots more to choose from.

The food ingredients will

include those grown at backyard

gardens, and at Revelstoke’s Terra

Firma Farm – and from the Revel-

stoke Farm & Craft Market.

The event is a fundraiser for the

NCES Local Food Initiatives Com-

mittee – and they’ve certainly got

lots of projects on the go if you’re

interested in getting involved at the

ground level.

The committee plans to con-

tinue work on education pro-

grams like the Farm to Table series

that teaches kids the connection

between the farm and the table.

They’re also working with the

city to develop a local food charter.

The goal would be to get everyone

at the table discussing food issues.

”It’s something that provides a bit

of clarity,” Ross explained.

Another possible new develop-

ment is fi nding a new, larger loca-

tion for a community garden in

Revelstoke. Ross said the vision

is for a collectively-managed gar-

den divided into sections – toma-

toes here, beans there – where fel-

low gardeners can learn skills from

each other. “You help yourself to

whatever’s there,” she said.

Another possible plan is part-

nering with the City of Revelstoke to turn

landscaped areas into “productive space,”

Ross explained.

Another future project idea is a garden

and art tour.

Many of these initiatives require more

(organic, vegetable-based) elbow grease,

and the Midsummer Night’s Green event is

a good place to start the networking.

The NCES is encouraging people to

come out to Benoit’s Wine Bar this Satur-

day, Aug. 18 at 7 p.m. for the semi-formal

event.

Tickets ($25 each) are available at Talis-

man on Mackenzie Avenue.

MOVIE UNDER THE STARS

After targeting provincial

ministry offi ces with their second

one-day strike, the B.C. Govern-

ment and Service Employees’

Union says the provincial gov-

ernment has followed through on

its threat to withdraw its offered

wage increase.

BCGEU negotiators had

rejected a raise of two per cent

this year and 1.5 per cent next

year when it was presented in

late June. Citing a two-year wage

freeze leading up to this year’s

negotiations, the union wants 3.5

this year and a raise equivalent

to the cost of living increase for

2013.

The latest one-day strike cre-

ated a four-day long week-

end for 180 employees in pro-

vincial ministry offi ces Tues-

day. BCGEU members refused

to work at three forests minis-

try offi ces, with 40 staff in Sur-

rey, 50 in Campbell River and

60 combined at transportation

and forest ministry offi ces in 100

Mile House. Another 30 union

members in agriculture, health,

environment and labour minis-

try jobs in Kelowna struck for

the day.

Union offi cials have not indi-

cated when their next strike

action will be. The fi rst was July

3 at liquor distribution ware-

houses in Kamloops, Vancouver

and Victoria.

After the fi rst walkout, Finance

Minister Kevin Falcon said the

wage offer could be withdrawn if

strikes continued.

“We hope we don’t have to

repeat job action going for-

ward,” BCGEU president Dar-

ryl Walker wrote on his blog

Wednesday. “But that’s the like-

lihood if the government doesn’t

make us a fair and reasonable

offer soon. We are prepared to

take job action to the next level

if we have to.”

Last week Walker led a rally

in Vancouver to publicize the

union’s proposal to expand its

deputy sheriff services to include

traffi c enforcement, raising extra

fi ne revenue that could be used

for pay raises.

Ambulance chief encourages safety

Ah, yes – it’s summer, and we can

all enjoy the sun, the beach, the easy

summer living. Vacations, camping,

daytrips to see the sights – these are

what memories are made of – espe-

cially as we approach the fi nal long

weekend of summer. But it’s also

important that we remember to be

aware of the hidden dangers of sum-

mertime. It’s one way to ensure that

you’ll enjoy the photos from your

summer fun for years to come.

Travel – Be sure to keep your cell

phone charged, and consider purchas-

ing a second battery. Always have

a fi rst aid kit in the car. Make note

of landmarks and direction so emer-

gency personnel can fi nd your loca-

tion easily if you need to call 911.

Water and pools – Children are

particularly vulnerable to accidents

in pools. They can drown in less than

fi ve centimetres of water, so never

leave a child unattended near water.

Always empty wading pools after

supervised use. People really enjoy

being near the water in the Revelstoke

area – especially around the Columbia

River – so remember that it’s impor-

tant to be vigilant about fast moving

water. Children, adults and pets can

be swept away in rivers or the ocean.

Bikes, Skateboards and Roller-blades – Helmets can signifi cantly

reduce the risk of brain injury for all

ages when worn appropriately. Chil-

dren should wear a helmet at all times,

even if they’re just riding a tricycle;

a fall from as little as two feet can

result in signifi cant trauma to a child’s

brain.

Cars – Never leave a child or pet

in your car – even with the windows

partly rolled down as the interior tem-

perature can reach 50 degrees Celsius

in as little as 10 minutes.

Sun Sense – Guard against heat-

stroke by moving to the shade -- take

a break once in a while so that you

don’t overdo sun exposure -- and

drink lots of water to avoid dehydra-

tion. Headache, fatigue, dizziness,

nausea, clammy/pale skin and weak

or rapid pulse are all common signs of

heat exhaustion.

Campfi res and barbeques –

Never leave a fi re or barbecue unat-

tended or use a camp stove in a con-

fi ned space; always keep children a

safe distance from the heat. Remem-

ber that even a fi re that has been

recently put out can generate enough

heat to cause a serious burn in a child.

Pull over for paramedics and other

emergency responders – If an ambu-

lance is travelling with lights and siren

on, you can be sure that paramed-

ics are responding to a life-threaten-

ing situation or are taking a patient to

receive urgent care. BC Ambulance

Service crews respond to more than

486,000 events every year throughout

the province -- nearly one call every

minute 24 hours a day, seven days a

week. When minutes can affect a

patient’s outcome, paramedics use

lights and siren so that they can reach

their destination as quickly as possi-

ble.

So enjoy a wonderful summer with

family and friends. Make sure you

have lots of great memories and pho-

tos to share for years to come. Make

time for safety in the summertime sun

but don’t forget the sunscreen. I know

that I’m going to enjoy all that British

Columbia has to offer this summer.

Aries, you may have to put your feelings on the line if you are to gain the respect of someone important to you. Although it may feel uncomfortable, forge ahead.

Taurus, some light will be shed on a problem from a past relationship this week. This will strengthen your current relationships with family and friends.

Expect a lot of passion and adventure this week and for the foreseeable future, Gemini. Talk to your partner about his or her desires as well.

Celestial energy will rejuvenate and reenergize you, Cancer. If things have been a little bit boring at home, someone you meet might just provide the spark you need.

You can fi nd many inspirational forces around you, Leo, which will aid you in making tough decisions. Pay special attention to an overheard conversation.

Virgo, you may fi nd yourself on the path to some exciting places if you hang out with the right people this week. This is not a time to back out; act outside of your comfort zone.

Libra, you may be looking for a new adventure but haven’t a clue where to start. Anything is possible if you keep your eyes and ears open to everything around you.

Don’t put any limits on your love life, Scorpio. Even a relationship that has withstood the test of time can still prove exciting, spontaneous and adventurous.

You may fi nd that the energy surrounding you is just a bit overwhelming, Sagittarius. This is remedied by simply staying out of the limelight for a few days.

It’s the little things that will catch your attention this week, Capricorn. A small detail, a particular color, a note in a song. If others overlook it, you’ll probably zone in on it.

Expect some surprises when attending a get-together with family and friends. An interesting person comes into your life to provide some inspiration.

Pisces, a situation arises that forces you to think outside the box. Make decisions promptly but wisely, and you’ll be happy you did.

It won’t happen in time for

the provincial election next

spring, but the B.C. govern-

ment is moving ahead with

Premier Christy Clark’s pledge

to examine online voting at the

local and provincial level.

Some municipalities have

suggested modernizing elec-

tions to make voting more con-

venient, and reverse the recent

trend to lower voter participa-

tion. Clark proposed the idea

during last year’s B.C. Liberal

leadership campaign.

Justice Minister Shirley

Bond announced Thursday that

she has asked Chief Electoral

Offi cer Keith Archer to set up

an expert panel to make rec-

ommendations. Archer asked

the government last year to

give him authority to conduct

pilot projects for electronic

voting, and to consider extend-

ing voter registration to 16-

and 17-year-olds, as has been

done in Australia and some

U.S. states.

During his leadership bid,

Health Minister Mike de Jong

proposed lowering the voting

age from 18 to 16, to encour-

age younger people to get

involved as part of their high

school education.

Nola Western, deputy chief

electoral offi cer at Elections

B.C., said the panel will likely

need until 2014 to recommend

changes to the Election Act

that would permit online vot-

ing. Independent experts on

Internet security and electoral

administration will be asked to

serve on a committee chaired

by Archer, with a fi rst meeting

expected by October.

Elections BC already has

online voter registration, as

well as data sharing with the

federal voters’ list, ICBC

and the B.C. Vital Statistics

Agency to keep the voters’ list

up to date.

Western said online voting

has been used in Halifax and

Markham, Ont., but has not

yet been tried at the provincial

or federal level in Canada.
