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

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

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.

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
AARON [email protected]
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,
Chapter 15
The Moberly Park Manor
Foundation
The Royal Canadian Legion

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

ENGINEERING
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST TO ADMINISTERA SANI DUMP FACILITY
The City of Revelstoke has an existing sani dump facility on the road adjacent the Super 8 Motel. It functions to receive sewage waste from recreational vehicles. The sani dump facility consists of a concrete trough directing fl ows to a sewer pipe which is connected to a City owned and operated sanitary sewer. There are also 2 water connections, one to clean the aforementioned drain and one to clean out the recreational vehicles sewage tank.
The City has funded the operation and maintenance of this facility since the mid 1990’s as a tool to assist in attracting visitors to the City. However to encourage local area development, the City seeks to move this facility to another location and is seeking Expressions of Interest from parties who may wish to integrate this facility into their operations. The Expressions of Interest should include a description indicating how and where the facility would be developed and a timeline for development of the facility. The City would prefer proposed locations nearby existing City sanitary sewer and water mains to be used to serve the facility; however, the City will consider other options.

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.

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-
ries - black & white, colour and youth
(11-17).

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.
