MAKING A SPLASHDraft BC Hydro plan calls for Revelstoke 6 $340 MILLION PROJECT WOULD GENERATE 500 MEGAWATTS OF ENERGY

A new high-level plan for BC Hydro is recom-

mending the installation of a sixth turbine at the

Revelstoke Dam by 2019 in order to help the prov-

ince reach forecasted energy demands.

The draft Integrated Resource Plan 2012: A Plan to Meet B.C.’s Future Electricity Needs looks at

the province’s forecasted energy consumption and

ways to meet demands. It examines everything from

potential sites for wind turbines and geothermal

energy to coal and natural gas plants.

According to the report, B.C.’s energy consump-

tion is forecast to increase by 50 per cent in the next

20 years. The plan looks at ways to create capacity

over the next decade to produce “cost-effective, reli-

able, clean electricity over the long term.”

The draft plan prioritizes conservation but also

stresses the need for new energy sources.

Revelstoke Unit 6, as the new turbine is referred

to, is identifi ed by the report as “the most cost-effec-

tive dependable capacity option currently available

to BC Hydro.”

It would also help the province meet its targets

under the Clean Energy Act, as well as help BC

Hydro meet peak energy demands in the future.

The environmental impact is stated to be minimal

because the work will be contained within the exist-

ing dam.

The new turbine would generate about 500 mega-

watts of energy. It comes with an estimated price

tag of about $340 million, though costs could be as

much as 50 per cent higher or 15 per cent lower.

According to the report, it is expected to add

$188 million to the province’s GDP, add $27 million

to provincial government coffers and create about

2,390 jobs during construction and operation.

The Integrated Resource Plan is still in the draft

stage. It went to our for referral to local govern-

ments, First Nations, and other stakeholders from

BC Hydro plan still needs government approval

May 28 to July 6. Meetings were

held in 13 communities across the

province, but not in Revelstoke.

The recommendations in the

plan was not fi nal and could

change, said BC Hydro spokes-

person Jen Walker-Larsen in an

e-mail response to questions. The

feedback from stakeholders will

be incorporated in to the fi nal

plan, which will be submitted to

the government for approval by

December 2012.

“The recommended actions in

the fi nal plan, once approved by

government, will set the direction

for BC Hydro,” said Walker-Lar-

sen.

Revelstoke Unit 5 took about

fi ve years from the start of pub-

lic consultations before it fi nally

went into service last year.

Mica 5 and 6 are currently

being installed. Work on install-

ing those two turbines began in

2008 and is expected to fi nish in

2014.

from page 1

The transportation of the Revelstoke 5 turbine in 2009 was a massive undertaking. A sixth turbine could be coming through by the end of the decade if a BC Hydro resource plan is approved.

Pensions for retiring MLAs panned

VICTORIA – Veteran B.C.

Liberal MLA Murray Coell has

added his name to the list of poli-

ticians retiring from the B.C. leg-

islature, as the Canadian Taxpay-

ers’ Federation renewed its criti-

cism of the MLA pension plan.

Coell, MLA for Saanich

North and the Islands since 1996,

announced Wednesday he will

not stand for re-election next

spring. Surrey-Tynehead MLA

Dave Hayer announced the same

decision earlier this week, join-

ing Burnaby-Lougheed MLA

Harry Bloy, Vancouver-Fraser-

view MLA Kash Heed and Kam-

loops-North Thompson MLA

Kevin Krueger in retirement from

the B.C. Liberal caucus effective

May 2013.

On the NDP side, New West-

minster MLA Dawn Black and

Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA

Mike Sather have indicated they

will complete their current terms

and retire. More retirements are

expected in both parties.

Canadian Taxpayers’ Feder-

ation B.C. director Jordan Bate-

man used Hayer’s departure as

an example of what the CTF

calls gold-plated pension payouts

available since the MLA plan was

reinstated in 2007. The CTF cal-

culates that Hayer will likely col-

lect $47,600 the year he turns 65,

increasing to $62,900 a year by

the time he is 80 due to infl ation

protection.

Coell served in several cabi-

net posts, most recently as labour

minister after the 2009 election.

Since pensions are based on an

MLA’s highest three earning

years, Bateman calculates that

Coell’s pension will kick in at

$89,000 a year.

The CTF says taxpayers con-

tribute $4 for each dollar paid by

politicians. MLAs must serve six

years to be eligible. If defeated

before then, they get a 15-month

severance.

The return of the pension plan

for B.C. MLAs was overshad-

owed by steep pay increases they

voted for themselves in 2007. The

B.C. Liberal government adopted

the recommendations of an inde-

pendent committee that increased

base pay for a backbench MLA

29 per cent to $98,000, with auto-

matic cost-of-living increases

that bring the current base pay to

nearly $102,000.

In response to public pressure,

the previous MLA pension plan

was scrapped by former NDP

premier Mike Harcourt in 1996.

A group retirement savings plan

was set up that matched MLA

contributions dollar for dollar, a

system the CTF says was fair.

The 2007 return of the indexed,

defi ned-benefi t pension was orig-

inally opposed by the NDP, but

former leader Carole James

reversed her position and sup-

ported it after pressure from cau-

cus members.

The current plan allowed long-

serving MLAs to buy back the

years they lost when the more

modest plan was in place. Most,

including Premier Christy Clark,

did so, at a cost of more than $20

million to taxpayers.

MLA Murray Coell is sworn in as labour minister in 2009. His pension is based on his top three earning years during a 16-year stint as MLA.

There’s a myth that says that pipes and cigars are a safe alternative to cigarettes. People who smoke them say they don’t inhale as much so it can’t be as dangerous. Not so. Tobacco smoke from any source is still deadly and oral and lung cancer is still a distinct risk. Best advice? Don’t smoke anything.

A new form of medication that works

extremely quickly and is easy to take will appear in Canada over the next 2 years. Thin, fast-dissolving wafers will soon be available with various flavours like mint or watermelon (take your dose and freshen your mouth as well!). The first oral wafer may be a migraine medication for fast action with wafers for sleep and motion-sickness to follow.

Summertime is beef

barbeque time. Why not substitute fish or chicken for that thick steak on occasion? Long-term studies in the U.S. followed over 37,000 men and almost 84,000 women on their red meat consumption and found that consuming less (both red and processed meats) led to a healthier life. And remember, a suitable serving of red meat is about palm-sized (4 oz).

During the sunny days of summer, don’t forget to protect your children’s eyes with proper sunglasses as well as their skin with a good sunscreen. Wearing sunglasses will protect children from developing adverse eye conditions later in life.

Council approves bike lanes on Fourth, pending review

Council approved the removal of

parking on 4th Street to make room

for a bike lane, but only pending

the review by a transportation engi-

neer and not before several council-

lors took shots at the poor habits of

Revelstoke cyclists.

Council voted 3-2 in favour of

a motion approving the removal of

the parking on the north side of 4th

Street East from the Illecillewaet

Bridge to Townley Street, subject to

a review by a transportation engi-

neer and a cost estimate that would

ensure the costs are in line with the

funding available from the tourism

infrastructure committee.

The vote came after staff held

two public reviews – one at South-

side Market and the other at the

community centre. At the market,

18 out of 21 respondents said they

supported the bike lanes. Out of 10

respondents that lived in the neigh-

bourhood, eight supported the plan.

At the community centre meet-

ing, numerous comments were

received. Some people felt that

the bike lanes should go on other

streets, others thought the paths

lanes should extend evern further,

to Columbia Park. Some had con-

cerns about the loss of parking in

front of homes, while others were

concerned about the interaction of

drivers and cyclists along the route.

During discussion, several coun-

cillors had some harsh words for

cyclists, with Phil Welock estimat-

ing that two-thirds of all cyclists he

surveyed were in violation of the

laws.

“My point is we need some

enforcement there,” he said. “It’s

diffi cult to enforce cycling rules...

but I think there’s a lot of education

to be done there.”

Councillor Steve Bender, who

supported the bike lanes in the

past, changed his mind and voiced

the strongest opposition to the

lanes. He said he couldn’t think of

any reasons for them – that they

wouldn’t provide any economic

boost, wouldn’t remove vehicles

from the road, and would be too

expensive to maintain.

He also took aim at cyclists,

implying that if there was an acci-

dent involving a cyclist, it would be

the cyclist who was at fault.

“We have had no deaths involv-

ing cars and bikes in 10 years,”

said Bender. “We’ve had 1,000

close calls and one of the reasons

we’ve had a thousand close calls is

because of motorists are being care-

ful, they’re aware and they’re react-

ing to cyclists. Lord knows its not

because of cyclists are being care-

ful.”

The bike lanes are part of a larger

plan by the Tourism Infrastructure

Committee to create a bike net-

work from Revelstoke Mountain

Resort to Mt. Macpherson. Money

has been earmarked towards the

plan and, while no member of the

tourism committee was at council,

it was remarked they were eager to

see things move forward.

The bike lane proposal came

from the city’s enhancement com-

mittee. Chair Toni Johnston said

they would like to have a traffi c

engineer look at the proposal before

moving forward.

“It would be really good if we

could have someone help us eval-

uate the whole route from the

Illecillewaet Bridge to the Big Eddy

Bridge,” added Eileen Fletcher.

“And take a look at the traffi c vol-

umes but also the kinds of the traf-

fi c on the street – the percentage of

heavy traffi c or truck traffi c that’s

on the street.

Mayor David Raven expressed

concern that council would be

approving something before all

the information was available, but

Councillor Linda Nixon, who intro-

duced the motion, left it as is.

In the end, Nixon, Welock and

Scarcella voted for the motion,

while Bender and Starling voted

against it.

Sharrows were recently painted on 3rd Street from Victoria Road to Charles as part of the city’s bike network. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review


City of Revelstoke looking for interest in three industrial park lots

Three lots in the industrial park

are being put up for sale by the City

of Revelstoke.

Revelstoke council gave

approval for staff to seek expres-

sions of interest for the purchase of

three city-owned lots along Power-

house Road.

However, there was a debate

over how the sales should go down,

sparked when councillor Tony Scar-

cella said the words ‘fi rm price’

should be struck from the request

for expressions of interest.

Scarcella said the city should be

willing to negotiate on price if a

prospective buyer had a plan for the

lots that would create jobs.

Alan Mason, the city’s Direc-

tor of Economic Development, said

the reason a fi rm price was being

asked was to make sure any offers

received were serious.

Steve Bender sided with Scar-

cella but the rest of council dis-

agreed with his amendment and the

request for expression of interest

went out as is.

The lots are 0.32 hectares, 0.369

hectars and 0.678 hectares in size

respectively.

CEEP AND DEEP APPROVED

Council approved the Commu-

nity Energy and Emissions Plan

and District Energy Expansion Plan

at its meeting last week.

The plans set out a path for Rev-

elstoke to reduce greenhouse gas

emissions and expand the district

energy system. The plans set a goal

of an eight per cent reduction in

greenhouse gases by 2020 and 15

per cent by 2030.

The plans will now go through a

public process of being adopted into

the city’s Offi cial Community Plan.

REVELSTOKE CROSS-ING LAND SWAP APPROVED

A land swap between the city,

province and a developer received

the go-ahead from council last

week.

The swap would see land change

hands between the province, city

and Big Bend Development Cor-

poration, which is planning a hotel

and restaurant development along

the Trans-Canada Highway near

where the Subway restaurant is.

The swap would lead to changes

in the road layout in the area and

moves the development one step

closer to breaking ground. The

swap still needs approval from the

province.

NO INSURANCE IN CASE OF TERRORISM

The City of Revelstoke has

decided to take its chances with ter-

rorism to save a bit of money on its

insurance premiums.

We’re not sure where Revelstoke

ranks on a list of terrorism targets

(though both Revelstoke and Mica

Dam made a list of potential tar-

gets), but if someone did decide to

make a political statement by blow-

ing up city hall, the city would not

be covered due to recent changes to

the B.C. Insurance Act that exclude

fi res caused by acts of terrorism

from coverage.

According to a staff report, it

would cost the city about $4,600

to upgrade its insurance plan, but

since staff deems the risk “low.”

So, would be terrorists, we’d

appreciate it if you could not target

Revelstoke, since we really can’t

afford to pay for the repairs out of

pocket.

Not to mention the death and

destruction would be horrible.

Three taken to hospital after truck spins off and on highway

Wet roads are being cited as

the cause of a single-vehicle

accident that sent three people

to hospital on Sunday evening.

The crash took place on the

westbound passing lane on the

Trans-Canada Highway about

20 kilometres west of Revel-

stoke, just past the Three Valleg

Gap hotel, said RCMP Staff-

Sgt. Jacquie Olsen.

A red Dodge pickup truck

passed a tractor-trailer, but

when the driver attempted to

change back into the right-hand

lane, the truck spun out of con-

trol, fi shtailing and spinning on

and off the highway, eventually

coming to a rest on the high-

way, Olsen said.

Three people were taken to

hospital with minor injuries.

***

The accident was one of two

on two near Three Valley Gap

on the weekend.

On Saturday at around 10:30

p.m. a driver on the Three Val-

ley Gap frontage road had both

driver side tires of his car punc-

tured and a big dent in the side

of his car as the result of a fallen

piece of metal debris from a

transport truck, said RCMP.

No one was injured in the

crash.

The tansport-truck was not

located.

Recovery effort underway after Johnsons Landing landslide

Mandy Bath considers her-

self lucky to not be one of the vic-

tims. Her home was one of three

destroyed by the massive land-

slide that destroyed three homes

and killed four people in the small,

remote community of Johnsons

Landing.

The morning of the slide, she was

given a ride to Kaslo by her friend

Gillian, who’s home was also dam-

aged by the slide.

“She picked me up at 9 a.m. and

I was at Creek corner looking at this

brown, thick, awful liquid, but she

picked me up and carried me off to

town, and I was saved because of

that,” said Bath.

The “brown, thick, awful liq-

uid” Bath described is Gar Creek,

the creek that overfl owed and took

out a large chunk of Kootenay Joe

mountain with it, sending a torrent

of mud and trees down the moun-

tainside into the community below.

The remains of one victim,

believed to be 60-year-old Valen-

tine John Webber, were recovered

Monday morning. The remains

were found in the Webber’s house

where the search and rescue teams

and the Heavy Urban Search and

Rescue team have been focused.

The remains of Webber’s daugh-

ters Rachel and Diana along with

German Tourist Petra Frehse

were still missing as of the Times Review’s press time Monday morn-

ing.

The Vancouver based Heavy

Urban Search and Rescue team is

now working with members of the

BC Coroners offi ce to extract the

remains from the debris.

The Webber home was visi-

ble above the debris but had been

moved 40 metres from its founda-

tion by the slide.

The day before the massive land-

slide in Johnsons Landing, residents

noticed the creek wasn’t fl owing as

usual.

Bill Wells, a Kaslo-based, retired

terrain stability specialist and for-

mer Johnsons Landing resident,

said his friends who live at the

top of Johnsons Landing near Gar

Creek, noticed the fl ow of water

stopping and starting and a lot of

debris in the water.

“They were afraid something was

happening, maybe a lake was form-

ing up there,” said Wells, who was

fi ve minutes outside of Johnsons

Landing when the slide occurred

Thursday at 10:56 a.m.

Around 9 a.m. Thursday a resi-

dent had sent an email to a research

hydrologist at Ministry of Forests

asking for someone to look at the

river, but that email wasn’t received

until after the landslide.

Offi cials haven’t confi rmed the

cause of the slide, but Wells believes

a small avalanche blocked the river

and caused water to build up until

the pressure broke off a chunk of

Kootenay Joe mountain, releasing a

torrent of mud and debris.

Initially the slide followed the

steep creek bed down of the moun-

tain toward the lake, but some of the

larger debris pushed over the bank

of the creek and led the slide into

the south side of the town, killing

four people — a family or three and

a German vacationer — and dam-

aging at least a half dozen homes.

“It looks like glacier of mud full

of big trees that are broken and

sticking out of it all the way down,”

he said.

Mandy Bath, and many other

neighbours had been noticing

changes in the water, and now real-

ize they were warnings signs.

“There were warnings. Hindsight

is a fabulous thing but there were

warnings,” said Bath. “It turned

from being water to a slurry. It was

like a chocolate mouse. It was run-

ning higher and higher.”

The Bath’s driveway went right

over Gar Creek and Mandy said the

night before the slide, she had been

up, watching the creek.

“I was worried,” she said. “I was

up at midnight the night before

the slide with a fl ashlight, looking

at the creek worried that the bank

was going to give and looking at

the colour. I couldn’t sleep. I was

really worried that something was

wrong.”

The creek went from the colour

of brewed tea, to a thick slurry.

“It was painting the sides of the

creek with a mask of mud on every

leaf and every rock. This was a seri-

ous warning sign,” said Bath.

Offi cials had been optimistic

until today that the mission was a

rescue and not a recovery.

“A decision was made after col-

laborating with the ex RCMP mem-

ber that is an expert in this fi eld and

with the expertise of Canada Task

Force 1 with the vision that there

wasn`t a likely hood of survivability

at this point,” said Ian Cunnings, a

spokesperson for Emergency Man-

agement BC. “A decision was made

by the incident command team to

the RCMP that the operation trans-

fer into a recovery mission to look

for remains.”

Chief Coroner Lisa Lapoint said

the focus of the BC Coroners Ser-

vice is to extract the remains.

OPINION

I spent the past couple of weeks

camping in the Kootenays. If I had

to name the trip in retrospect, I’d

call it the dam fl ood tour.

Lakes, reservoirs, rivers and streams

lapping at their banks caught my attention

at every turn.

The beach at Beaton was gone. The

dock at Trout Lake was a fair wade away.

The Lardeau River coursed along, nibbling

at the edge of Highway 31 for parts of the

route. The northern reaches of Kootenay

Lake near Johnsons Landing was choked

with logs and debris – from a distance, it

looked like the remains of a few galleons

lost in a sea battle. To the chagrin of camp-

ing kids, the lake had reclaimed the jun-

gle gym playground at Kokanee Glacier

Provincial Park. Sunbathers had to make

due with a sliver of sand at Rotary Lake-

side Park in Nelson. In Castlegar, our hike

was kiboshed when we discovered the

approach was waist deep. Small trees and

park benches around Castlegar’s Zucker-

berg Island were completely submerged,

the river swirling and eddying around it

forcefully. At Syringa, children mounted

the many fl oating logs at the beach shore

to play joust – they were fl oated from the

shore by high water levels. As we waited

to board, the captain of the cable ferry

at Fauquier let his passengers off, then

backed up, dialled it to ramming speed

and shoved the metal on-ramp up the con-

crete ramp a few more feet to accommo-

date the rising water. The high levels were

too much for the Arrow Park ferry; it is out

of service until waters recede. In Nakusp,

the lake was only several steps away from

the waterfront walkway. On the way home

at Galena Bay, the ferry made a few wide

turns to avoid a constellation of logs and

stumps. Early Sunday morning I returned

to Revelstoke Dam to get more shots of

epic spilling there, this time under sunny

conditions.

We passed four dams along the way;

all of them frothed as they generated and

spilled copious amounts of water. To boot,

most of them generated their own rain-

bows.

THE RIVER, ROAD AND RAIL INTERSECTION

The completion of the Trans-Canada

Highway through our town 50 years ago

put an ongoing shift in Revelstoke’s orien-

tation into high gear. In our early modern

history and prehistory, our orientation was

north-south. The Columbia River was the

transportation route. We were connected

to the people of the Lardeau, Upper and

Lower Arrow Lakes, the Slocan, Trail and

beyond to Spokane and all the way to Port-

land and the Pacifi c by the river and lakes

systems, as were the First Nations peoples

for thousands of years.

Then came the railway, making us a

hub, a connection point to the east and

west. The highway reinforced this new

orientation, better connecting us with the

Shuswap, Okanagan, the Coast, Alberta

and all points beyond by auto.

WHAT IS REVELSTOKE’S KARASS?

Reading Alex Cooper’s story about pro-

posed federal boundary changes for the

Kootenay-Columbia riding got me think-

ing about where we should “be” – where

Revelstoke belongs. I don’t have a strong

opinion on where to draw a new line (other

than to agree with MP Alex Atamanenko

when he says splitting up Castlegar and

Nelson is crazymaking.) What I do believe

in is any and all effort to maintain, bol-

ster and improve any connection we have

with the Kootenays – the lands south of

here. It’s our karass, as novelist Kurt Von-

negut put it with his tongue in his cheek

– a karass is a group of people connected

by destiny, connected together to perform

God’s will.

F-350s with headache racks and tidy

tanks. Rednecks versus hippies. Suba-

rus with ski stickers. Calling that dirt goat

track a “highway.” Long memories. Log-

ging trucks. Sawmills. Mountains, moun-

tain men and women. Dams. Trees, trees,

trees. Pockets of valley agriculture. The

knowledge and community necessary to

eke out a living in that environment. And

especially the waterways that connect it

all. That’s the Kootenay-Columbia karass.

Every time someone, somewhere else

decides to take a stab at creating a juris-

diction with Revelstoke in it (healthcare,

environment, transportation, forestry, edu-

cation, political) we should take notice.

They usually get it partly wrong.

GRANFALLOONOverlooking a sun-baked Osoyoos from

the cliffs above, it really looked like a sci-

ence-fi ction landscape. 38 degrees Cel-

sius that day. Vineyards fi lled with migrant

workers. Spanish-styled wineries. As we

proceeded into the Okanagan, it became

clear to me where Revelstoke isn’t. To

identify with that region would be, as Von-

negut put it, a granfalloon – a false karass– people who think they have a connection

that doesn’t actually exist.

Summer is here and with summer brings all different types of physical activities. Sure exercise is great, but it can also be hard on the body with potential injuries occurring to every joint and limb. Whether it is a sprain or strain Pharmasave has a vast array of products for fi rst response to an acute injury. Cryotherapy is a treatment in which an injury is subjected to cold temperature; this is considered the fi rst response to an injury that is caused by trauma. Pharmasave has several cryotherapy products to choose from, including reusable and instant gel cold packs. As well as number of different micro bead bags and a cryotherapy tensor wrap.

When choosing the type of cryotherapy that would be best, it is important to consider where the injury site is and the size of the injury. When possible get a gel or micro bead bag that best fi ts the injured area and a portion of the surrounding tissue. An instant cold bag or cold tensor does not need to be kept in a fridge or freezer therefore instant gel bags are a must in any fi rst aid or medical kit. As well, it is a great idea to pack them along with any type of activity where an injury may occur.

Cryotherapy works well when applied to injury site within the fi rst 48 hours of injury occurrence. Cryotherapy will decrease muscle spasms, decrease swelling and pain to soft tissue and bone. When using cryotherapy one should apply cold to the injury for 15 minutes. Try to elevate the injured area if possible. After 15 minutes remove the cold treatment and allow tissue to return back to normal temperature. This process can be repeated many times throughout the day.

However there are a few precautions to take when using cryotherapy. Cryotherapy may be painful when applied to an injury site where lots of nerves are exposed such as a broken bone. If the cold feels very painful remove it. It is also important to make sure the site of injury still has sensation before applying cold, if there is a loss of sensation the skin may be susceptible to frost bite.

If you have any other questions, feel free to come down to Pharmasave and we will be pleased to help you.

CRYOTHERAPY

Joe Roberts in 1989 (left) and today (right). Photos courtesy Push for Change

A successful businessman,

it’s almost diffi cult to believe Joe

Roberts’ was once a homeless

drug addict living on Vancouver’s

infamous Skid Row.

Joe Roberts’ story of transfor-

mation is one that speaks to the

very heart of human inspiration.

It’s this very inspiration Rob-

erts is hoping to capitalize on as

he makes his way from Calgary

to Vancouver pushing a modi-

fi ed shopping cart -- a challenge

he’ll take on full time next year

when he’ll push the cart across

the entire country in event that

has been dubbed “The Push For

Change”.

“All of us go through adver-

sity and change,” Roberts says.

“That’s why people resonate with

my story. It’s a story of human-

ity.”

For Roberts, however, it’s at-

risk youth who harbour a special

place -- after all he was once a

teenager entangled in drug addic-

tion and navigating the Down-

town Eastside (DTES). All of the

money raised from The Push For

Change will go towards creating

programs to help youth at risk.

Roberts says the plan is to have

different programs implemented

from early prevention to access-

ing youth who are already home-

less.

“There are a number of things

we want to do, but the big picture

is a mentorship program,” says

Roberts. “We’re trying to pre-

vent homelessness and addiction

by going back a few steps. That’s

why the shopping cart because

that’s [homelessness] eventually

the outcome.”

The idea, says Roberts, is to

get kids to change the way they

think about how they are. “When

I see kids who are on the street I

have to question what happened

to them for that to happen.”

While Robert’s rags to riches

story is the spark behind the

fl ame, credit for the idea behind

Push For Change belongs equally

to his business partner, Sean

Richardson. It was on a fl ight

from Vancouver to Calgary that

the two began a conversation

about making a difference. From

there The Push For Change began

its formation.

Currently Roberts is in the

midst of his 1,000-kilometre pilot

trek. When I spoke to him last

week The Push for Change Team

was resting in Golden. Besides

Roberts and Richardson, the team

includes cinematographer Ali

Virk and road manger Rob Cook

-- whom it turns out Roberts knew

during his days in the DTES.

“We’re making good time right

now,” Roberts says. “We looked

at the National Campaign and we

came up with a few logistics.”

Those logistics include: the

diffi culty of raising the money

to make push for change hap-

pen, the challenge of pushing a

shopping cart across the country.

Then of course there’s the phys-

ical demand on Roberts. In order

for Joe to make his goal during

the 8,000-km National Trek set

to take place in 2013, he’ll need

to walk 24 km every day, 6 days

a week for 14 months. “I’m not

an elite athlete. I’m a 45-year-old

soft in the middle business guy.

How do we get past that para-

digm shift?” asks Roberts.

There’s also the idea of gath-

ering support, which is why Rob-

erts says they connected with the

Vancouver Film School which in

turn led them to Burke. Burke is

working on a short fi lm that can

be used to pitch to corporations.

“We’ve got a couple of good

brands on board already,” says

Roberts.

One of those ‘brands’ is the

Elks of Canada. In fact, it was

George Hopkins of the Revel-

stoke Elks who contacted recre-

ation, facility and program coor-

dinator Meghan MacIsaac to see

if it would be possible to coordi-

nate a place for Roberts to speak.

“I love getting together and

working with different groups,”

MacIsaac says. “George and I

met and began discussing how

this could look and we went from

there.”

Putting together the event has

been a bit of a whirlwind if you

consider Hopkins fi rst approached

MacIsaac with the idea little more

than a month ago. It’s a lucky

draw for Revelstoke too. While

Roberts says during the National

campaign there will be speak-

ing engagements planned nearly

every day, this time around only

a few select events are being

planned. This stop in Revelstoke

is one of them.

“We’re partly in Revelstoke

to say thank you to the Elks, but

we’re also test driving the social

media campaign,” says Roberts.

It’s also a way to connect and

shake hands along the way, as

Roberts admits that while corpo-

rate sponsorships are important,

he expects the bulk of the money

they’ll raise will be the $2 or $5

individuals donate.

It’s likely Roberts will also

rely on the skills he learned while

hustling to survive in the DTES.

I ask Roberts how these skills

transfer to both business and The

Push For Change.

“It happens when I’m really

passionate about something. My

mastery came from communica-

tion. My survival on the DTES

was really based on my ability

to communicate,” says Roberts.

“Today I can sit in a board room

or I can sit face to face with an at-

risk kid.”

Of course, the idea of home-

lessness in the DTES may seem

far removed from Revelstoke. I

ask Roberts if he thinks smaller

Push for Change will raise

money for at-risk youth

Aquaducks set several records on way to win at home pool

The Revelstoke Aquaducks

Invitational Swim Meet took

place this past weekend at the

Aquatic Centre with 282 swim-

mers competing in the two day

event.

The Aquaducks took fi rst place

in the combined team scores, out-

swimming the nine other com-

peting teams including Okana-

gan powerhouse the Salmon Arm

Sockeyes.

Swimmers earn points by plac-

ing in the top 12 for each event,

and with 86 Aquaducks compet-

ing the points added up quickly.

“Its exciting to see the improve-

ment in these swimmers,” said

Head Coach Jeff Beatty. “I see

a lot of potential in these ath-

letes and I am looking forward

to working with them and seeing

what they can do”

The swim meet turned the

community centre into a hive of

activity, with the 10 teams and

their supporters fi lling every

space inside and outside the

swimming pool.

New meet records were set by

Emily Pfeiffer in the girls Divi-

sion 6 200m individual med-

ley, Cynthia Pfeiffer in the girls

division 7 100m backstroke, and

Ryan Gow in the boys division 8

50m freestyle.

In division 2 boys, James Leb-

uke set new records in the 50m

freestyle, 100m individual med-

ley, and the 100m freestyle. Meet

records are typically bettered

by a second or less, but James

smashed the 100m freestyle by

nearly six seconds.

The Aquaducks compete

next weekend in Salmon Arm

and then at the regional champi-

onships in Kamloops two weeks

later.

elstoke were:

Eight local youth, one coach off to BC Summer Games

Eight Revelstoke youth will

be attending the BC Summer

Games in Surrey, B.C., this

weekend.

Six track-and-fi eld ath-

letes, one volleyball player

and one triathlete will be on

the Zone 2 team at the games.

They will be complemented

by Jade Connor, a track and

fi eld coach at Revelstoke Sec-

ondary School, who will be

be performing the same duties

at the games.

The track and fi eld athletes

are:

- Chris Andrews, compet-

ing in shotput and discus.

- Peter Grimm, competing

in the hammer throw.

- Isaiah Bruner, competing

in shot put and javelin throw.

- Adam Smith, competing

in 200m and 300m races

- Amy Gagnon, competing

in the 80m hurdles and 200m

hurdles

- Stefanie Wallach, com-

peting in javelin and shot put.

“The number of Revelstoke

athletes who made the Zone

2 BC Summer Games team

is awesome,” said Andy Pfe-

iffer, the head coach of RSS’

track team. “Having six RSS

students on that team is the

most we’ve had in the last 20

years – that’s a direct refl ec-

tion of one of the most suc-

cessful school track and fi eld

season’s we’ve ever had.”

Also heading to the games

from Revelstoke are Tayla

Koerber, who will compete in

the triathlon, and Rhys Evans,

as part of the Zone 2 volley-

ball team.

For Koerber and Evans,

this will be their second trip

to the games this year; they

both competed in the BC Win-

ter Games in Vernon, B.C, in

cross-country skiing. Evans

won a gold and a bronze

medal at the winter games.

The BC Summer Games

take place in Surrey, B.C.,

from July 19-22. It brings

together the best 15- and

16-year-old athletes for a

weekend of competition.

For Connor, it will be her

fi rst time coaching at the BC

Summer Games.

“Nothing compares to

training and supporting Rev-

elstoke’s amazing young ath-

letes,” she said. “I encourage

the athletes to give all they

can and not leave with any

regrets; that way, they will

always be proud of what they

have accomplished. The num-

ber of athletes Revelstoke is

sending to the games high-

lights the talent Revelstoke

athletes possess.”

With fi les from Debbie Koerber


BC Games the fi rst step for many London-bound athletes

When the Olympic and Paralym-

pic Games begin in London, there

are a number of Canadian athletes

who will remember their fi rst multi-

sport experience at a BC Games.

Twenty-four athletes on the

Canadian Olympic team started

their journey to London with a trip

to the BC Games including 2008

Olympic gold medallist Carol

Huynh (Wrestling), and recent Giro

d’Italia winner Ryder Hesjedal

(Cycling).

As part of the athlete develop-

ment pathway, the BC Games are

a fi rst multi-sport experience for

young athletes that lead towards

provincial and national teams and

ultimately the Olympic or Paralym-

pic Games.

The BC Games are part of a

strong provincial sport system

that provides an outstanding train-

ing environment and support ser-

vices for high-performance ath-

letes. Forty per cent of the Cana-

dian Olympic team live or train in

B.C.

Shot-putter Dylan Armstrong of

Kamloops is one of Canada’s great

medal hopes at the 2012 Olympic

Games. He is a shining example of

a B.C. athlete who has developed to

international success with support

through all the stages of the athlete

pathway.

Involved at a young age with the

Kamloops Track and Field Club,

he represented the Thompson-Oka-

nagan Zone at the 1995 and 1996

BC Summer Games. Success as

part of Team BC at the 2001 Can-

ada Games was next before win-

ning gold for Canada at the 2007

and 2010 Pan American Games.

All eyes are on this BC Games

alumnus to better his fourth place

fi nish from the 2008 Olympic

Games.

Swimmer Brent Hayden of Mis-

sion is another medal contender

in London. Brent competed at

the 1998 BC Summer Games and

refl ected, “The BC Summer Games

was the point in my career when

I realized that I had the poten-

tial to go further. It was soon after

that that I decided to switch from

being a summer swimmer to train-

ing all year round. It is clear that

I wouldn’t have noticed my own

potential without the BC Summer

Games.”

The full Paralympic team will be

named later this summer but for-

mer BC Games athletes Bo Hedges

of Fort St. John (Wheelchair Bas-

ketball) and Adam Rahier of Pow-

ell River (Swimming) will be part

of the team.

More than 2,300 athletes

between the ages of 10 and 18 will

be at the 2012 BC Summer Games,

which kick off just one week prior

to the start of the Olympics. It is an

inspiring experience that will ignite

the dreams of many young athletes

to pursue their sport to the highest

level.

A veteran of the Canadian Wom-

en’s Soccer team, Karina LeBlanc

from Maple Ridge remembered, “It

was an amazing experience because

I did dream of one day being at the

Olympic Games and it was the clos-

est thing for me to it, so it made me

want to be there that much more.”

Watch for the next generation

of Olympians and Paralympians at

the 2012 BC Summer Games, July

19-22. See the complete list of BC

Games alumni heading to London

1802 Trans Canada Hwy. Revelstoke B.C. Ph: 250-837- 6633

50 years in the making: the opening of the Trans-CanadaRevelstoke was fi rst connected to

the outside world by road in 1922,

when a highway opened through

Eagle Pass, to Sicamous. The Rev-

elstoke Review said the road “was

without exception the best, prettiest

and most scenic drive in the interior

of British Columbia.”

At the time, it took several days

to make the trip from Vancouver to

Revelstoke and the road was closed

during winter due to avalanches

through Three Valley Gap. It wasn’t

until 1941, when a Japanese intern-

ment camp was established at Three

Valley Gap that the road was kept

open year-round.

For years, Revelstoke was the

end of the line for travellers head-

ing east by road. Work began on

the Big Bend Highway in the 1930s

and unemployed men were pressed

into service to help build the new

highway. They were paid 20 cents

per day and given room, board and

clothing in return for working on

the road.

The Big Bend Highway was

opened on June 29, 1940, fi nally

providing a roadway all the way

through the Columbia Mountains.

Still, the route was long and rough

and was closed in winter. Plans

began to build a highway through

Rogers Pass.

In 1949, the Federal and Provin-

cial governments signed the Trans-

Canada Highway Act, which set out

plans for a national, two-lane paved

highway. A year later, a railway

strike made the need for a modern

highway between Kamloops and

Field even more pressing.

On July 5, B.C. Highway Min-

ister “Flying” Phil Gaglardi

announced that the new highway

would go through Rogers Pass, at

an estimated cost of $22 million,

despite the opposition of one group

that promoted Jumbo Pass as the

desirable route.

Surveyors set to work mapping

out a route for the new highway and

contracts went out for work to be

done on clearing the path. The tar-

geted date for opening the highway

was Dec. 31, 1960, with 1958 and

1959 dedicated to grading the route

and 1960 to paving. Meanwhile,

an avalanche control system had to

be developed to keep the highway

open in the winter. Led by Noel

Gardner and Fred Schleiss, a net-

work of snowsheds was built and a

system of avalanche control using a

105mm Howitzer was developed.

Meanwhile, people in Revel-

stoke dreamed big. Mayor Wal-

ter Hardman predicted the popula-

tion of Revelstoke would increase

10-fold, to 40,000 from 4,000

within 20 years, reported business

writer James Roe.

“Development of the area as a

tourist and holiday mecca is only

part of it,” he wrote. “But today

Revelstoke is still just an attractive,

sedate railway town.”

Naturally, the highway was

delayed. First, into 1961 and then

well into 1962. Business groups,

especially those in the Okanagan,

put pressure on the government to

get it open. In the summer of 1961

The Okanagan Valley Tourist Asso-

ciation planned a caravan over Rog-

ers Pass, where they would meet up

with the Banff tourism group.

On July 27, 1961, a year before

the highway opened, the fi rst fatal

accident occurred in the Pass

when a car carrying two construc-

tion workers crashed into a gravel

truck.

The Trans-Canada Highway

Bridge over the Columbia River

opened on July 28, 1961. Locals

spent all night driving across the

brand-new, 300-metre long suspen-

sion bridge.

Pressure mounted to get the

highway fi nished over the course of

the winter of 1961-62. Finally, on

Mar. 1, the province set July 30 as

the date for the offi cial opening of

the highway; a week later the fed-

eral government announced plans

for a September opening.

Special permits started being

issued for people to travel across

Rogers Pass in early July, 1962.

The highway was used to transport

a truckload of strawberries from

Salmon Arm to Calgary, allowing

them to arrive fresh for the market,

though the driver A.D. Booth had to

return via the Big Bend.

www.revelstokeconnection.comThe queens of Jungal come to town

Jungal consists of, from left, Jessie Jungalwalla, Leisha Jungalwalla and Victoria Beard.Emma Phillips/Jungal photo

It seems strange to hear some-

one from Australia talk about

escaping winter. Winter in Austra-

lia is downright balmy by Cana-

dian standards. There’s no snow

and the temperature stays above

freezing in the vast majority of

the country.

For the ladies of Jungal, the

Australian winter is the perfect

time to come tour British Colum-

bia; this marks the third consecu-

tive summer they’ve fl own across

the Pacifi c to enjoy “Beautiful

British Columbia.”

“We sort of got ourselves

addicted to it,” said Jessie Jungal-

walla It’s winter in Australia and

it’s a really awesome excuse to

come over and enjoy summer and

have some touring and escape our

winter for a bit. It’s been wonder-

ful.

I spoke to Jessie the morning

after they played the Summer

Street Festival in Grizzly Plaza

as a last minute replacement for

another band. They were on their

way to the Arts on the Fly festival

in Horsefl y, B.C., before coming

back to Revelstoke for a show at

the Last Drop this Thursday, July

19.

Jungal consists of sisters Jessie

and Leisha Jungalwalla, and Vic-

toria Beard – “the other sister, we

call her,” said Jessie.

Leisha plays guitar, Jessie

plays drums and Victoria is on

bass; all three sing.

Jessie said she and her sister

have been playing music together

“since as long as I can remember.”

Jungal has been playing together

for a decade, she said, but only

started playing shows in 2007.

The band released its fi rst full

album in July 2012, an indie-roots

recording titled This Crooked

Track. The album received some

attention in the Australian media.

One reviewer wrote: “Jungal

has the heart of John Butler, the

soul of Amy Winehouse, and the

power of Ani DiFranco.”

I asked Jessie how she felt

about those comparisons.

“They’re kind of our idols, so it’s

great,” she replied.

Jungal came to Canada for the

fi rst time in 2010 to do a cross-

country tour with Faye Blais.

They returned last year to tour

B.C. and Alberta and are back

once more. Jessie said they have

considered moving to B.C.

One thing notable about Jungal

is the transition they’ve made in

recent years from the indie-roots

style of their debut album to the

hard rocking show that is evident

in live videos on YouTube.

“We did start off with a much

folkier, quieter sound,” said Jes-

sie. “I guess since we recorded

our album the songs we’re written

have moved into a much louder,

rockier style and it refl ects in our

live shows as well.

“We don’t actually listen to a

whole heap of rock music,” she

added. “We’re not huge rock

music fans but it really seems to

be what we’re writing lately and

its really enjoyable to play live.

We love the energy that it brings.

It’s this funny progression we’ve

found ourselves in. Sometimes

you can’t help what comes out

when you’re writing.”

Jungal recorded a live show

just before leaving on tour and

is selling the album on tour. “We

listened back to it and it’s proba-

bly the tightest we ever heard our-

selves play,” said Jessie.

Jungal plays at the Last Drop on Thursday, July 19, at 9 p.m.

communities need to change their

perception of homelessness.

“I do. There’s 160 things that

create homelessness. It doesn’t

have to represent a shopping cart,

it can represent the low income

family that lost their job at the

mill. Unfortunately there’s a ste-

reotype that comes to homeless-

ness. Here’s where I get hope-

ful -- there’s a lot more conver-

sation in the last 10 or 15 years

then there ever has,” Roberts tells

me. “I’m more marketable as a

speaker because I was homeless

and an addict.”

MacIsaac also recognizes the

need to re-think how we look at

homelessness within Revelstoke.

“I’ve noticed from one year

to the next a lot more homeless

people lingering in town and the

perception people automatically

have,” she says. “Having Joe

here might help to create a level

of understanding, which is impor-

tant.”

Joe Roberts will be speaking at

the Community Centre this Fri-

day, July 20 at 6:30 p.m. This is

a free event.

A vacation could be in the works in the next few weeks, Aries. Because tasks can seem to sneak up on you, get the planning started early and work up an itinerary.

Take some time to look through your checkbook or online bills history, Taurus. You may have a few unexpected expenses on the horizon and you’ll need to some extra cash.

Loss is not something easily overcome, Gemini. If you’ve lost someone you love due to relocation or illness, surround yourself with a good support team until you rebound a bit.

Never say never, Cancer, because you may look foolish when you eventually do the things you said you never would. Instead, be open to all possibilities and opportunities.

Great ideas often arrive with little effort, Leo. It’s turning those ideas into a working project that can often take a lot of energy. However, Gemini, you’re up for the challenge.

For the most part you’re insistent on doing things yourself and taking the diffi cult route, Virgo. Try to let go a little this week and let someone else handle things for a change.

Libra, you may have your heart set on making a change, but you have not quite narrowed down what that change will be. Sit down and work on some ideas this week.

The only way you will know if your ideas have merit is to stick you neck out and take a chance once in a while, Scorpio. You just may be surprised at the feedback.

There’s not much else you can do with regard to a tenuous relationship, Sagittarius. So it’s best if you just cut your losses and move on. You’ll make new friends easily.

Although you want to be everything to everyone, there’s only so much of you to go around, Capricorn. Don’t spread yourself too thinly because it can take quite a while to recuperate after.

Aquarius, you are ready to dabble in something that you and you alone enjoy. Figure out what you need to get started and begin building around your specifi c interest or hobby.

With so many friends seeking your attention, Pisces, you just may be the star of a particular social event that may come up this week.

IN LOVING MEMORY OFNORMA MARSHALL

December 9, 1929 - July 10, 2011

The robin's song at daybreakIs a clarion call to me.

Get up and get out in the garden,For the morning hours fl ee.

I cannot resist the summons,What earnest gardener could?

For the golden hours of morningGet into the gardener's blood.

The magic spell is upon me,I'm glad that I did not wait;

For life's at its best in the morning,As you pass through the garden gate.

A littler-known fact about me in Revelstoke is I also serve as managing

editor of the Nakusp-based Arrow Lakes News, and have for almost seven

years. Historians will note the passing of Nakusp’s Milton Parent early last

week. If you didn’t know of him, read up. The man was a living treasure for

the region, as he chronicled the early modern history of the area, especially

the Lardeau region and in Nakusp. An accomplished writer, he published sev-

eral historical books on the region, including Faces of the Past, Silent Shores and Sunken Ships, Port of Nakusp, Bugles on Broadway, Halcyon: The Cap-tain’s Paradise, Caulkboot Riverdance, and Circle of Silver. Circle of Silver

earned him the Lieutenant-Governor’s medal from the BC Historical Feder-

ation in 2001.

Parent ran the Arrow Lakes Historical Society and was an accomplished

archivist, collecting thousands of images, documents and audio interviews

of the region. His passing creates a giant hole of historical knowledge, espe-

cially in the early history of the region that connects Revelstoke to the Koote-

nays. He will surely be missed by many.

One curious element of the open-

ing of the Trans-Canada Highway

was the fact there were two opening

ceremonies. According to Cathy

English, this wasn’t because of any

beef between the federal and pro-

vincial governments, but because

that’s the way each government

wanted it.

So it was that on July 30, 1962,

dozens of dignitaries, including

Premier William Bennett, were in

Revelstoke for the provincial open-

ing of the highway at a location 13

kilometres east of Revelstoke. The

City of Revelstoke declared a holi-

day that afternoon so resident could

attend the ceremony and around

5,000 vehicles crawled up the high-

way for the ceremony.

With thousands in attendance,

including more than 150 people

from the press, and the thermome-

ter hitting 35 C (that caused seven

people to faint), B.C. Highway

Minister Phil Gaglardi declared the

road open.

“There has been a lot of talk

about who should get the credit. We

are not interested in credit for any-

thing other than we want the people

of B.C. and of Canada to enjoy the

highway through this God-given

scenery. It’s yours to enjoy – you

paid for it, you take the credit for

it,” he told the crowd.

Back in town a massive barbe-

cue was held where 3,000 pounds

of Alberta beef was served to the

crowd into the night. The newspa-

per quoted one American tourist as

saying it was “the most successful

affair I have ever attended.”

“We couldn’t match a picnic like

this anywhere in the U.S. And such

meat!” he said.

It should be noted there was

some sniping in the press between

the local media and the out-of-

towners, who complained of the

lack of accommodation and press

facilities and greatly downplayed

the numbers.

A little more than a month later,

on Sept. 4, 1962, Prime Minis-

ter John Diefenbaker travelled to

Rogers Pass for the second offi -

cial opening of the Trans-Canada

Highway. A massive ceremony was

planned and mostly pulled off, aside

from the fact the band’s instruments

didn’t show up in time.

Diefenbaker made a short speech

during which he said he hoped the

highway “will always serve the

cause of peace, that it will never

hear the marching sound of war-

like feet.”

A fi nal patch of highway was

fi lled in and the Prime Minister

stamped it down.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I declare

offi cially open, the Trans-Can-

ada Highway,” Diefenbaker pro-

nounced.

Well, almost – there were still

some unfi nished sections and an

estimated 3,000 kilometres of the

7,821-kilometre route remained

unpaved.

Still, the opening of the highway

through Rogers Pass had a great

impact on Revelstoke, making it

destination along Canada’s national

point and stopping off point for

people on their way to and from

the coast. By mid-November, it was

estimated that more than half-a-mil-

lion people had travelled through

Rogers Pass on the new highway.

The vastly different landscapes of the

forests of the B.C. Interior and the wide

open plains of the Alberta prairie are the

subject of the latest shows at the Revel-

stoke Visual Arts Centre.

In the main room is Forests – a cele-

bration of the bountiful and beautiful trees

around Revelstoke. The exhibit coincides

with the 100th anniversary of the B.C. For-

est Service and contains work ranging from

paintings to photography to pottery.

In the side gallery is Wide Open Spaces

by a group of local artists calling them-

selves the Immersionists. It is based on a

trip to Rosebud, Alta., by Nicola McGarry,

Tina Lindegaard, Gwen Lips, Cherie Van

Overbeek, Aran McCormick and Valerie

Speer.

The shows are a contrast – the dense for-

ests with its canopied layers compared to

the big skies and openness of the prairies.

Lindegaard had works in both shows.

In addition to her participation in the trip

to Alberta, she also contributed what she

described as an “experimental” painting to

the Forests exhibit.

“The open spaces are really freeing to

do because you get these big expanses of

colour,” she said. There’s less detail, she

noted, but “less is more.”

The Immersionists is the name the orig-

inal Art in the Park group, who have been

painting together since 2009 (plus and

minus a few artists), have given them-

selves. The trip to Alberta was yet another

opportunity for them to experience a new

landscape, following trips to Glacier,

Pacifi c Rim, Yoho and Waterton National

Parks. This time they stayed at the prop-

erty of Aran McCormick in Rosebud, Alta.,

which is 90 minutes east of Calgary.

As usual, they spent several days explor-

ing the landscapes and bringing back ideas

for paintings. The result if the Wide Open

Spaces show, full of big, bright, fl owing

paintings, as well as one bird house and

a series of abstract wood sculptures by

McCormick that stand out for their unorth-

odox style.

The contrast between the two shows

was something that piqued my interest so

I approached Jackie Pendergast, Marga-

ret Pacaud and Carol Palladino. The three

were already talking and they are all active

members of Revelstoke’s art community.

“I think the prairie is a landscape that

is so unfamiliar to people living in Revel-

stoke,” said Pendergast, who has never vis-

ited the prairies.

Palladino noted the difference in the

lighting. Whereas forests result in frac-

tured, broken lighting, the prairies churn

out big, bright landscapes.

“It’s all about light and the play of light

is so different from one to another,” she

said.

Pacaud said it was a sign of the diverse

landscapes that exist in Canada.

Pendergast pointed out that the paint-

ings in the Wide Open Spaces exhibit were

generally much larger, showing the artists

were “overwhelmed with the size of the
