The B.C. Court of Appeal has ruled in favour of the B.C. government on the long-running dis-pute with the B.C. Teachers' Federation over the removal of class size and special needs support formulas from classrooms.

In a lengthy judgment released Thursday, four of five appeal court judges found that the prov-ince did not infringe on the constitutional rights of teachers to bargain working conditions. The appeal court pointed out numerous errors in the 2011 judgment of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin, and overturned her order that the government pay $2 million in damages, which

has been paid to the union.BCTF president Jim Iker said the decision is

"very disappointing." He announced that the union will seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada in its bid to restore classroom rules the government removed from its contract in 2002.

"All teachers are looking for is workable and teachable classrooms," Iker said.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the changes made to classroom organization in the disputed period have led to "dramatic improve-ments in student outcomes, particularly for stu-dents with special needs."

The B.C. education ministry has argued that caps on class size and number of students in each class with personalized learning plans were un-duly restrictive. The NDP government of the late 1990s negotiated a settlement where the BCTF gave up salary increases in exchange for class size caps, specialist teacher levels and limits on the number of designated special needs students in each class.

The appeal court decision leaves in place ef-forts by the government to settle the bitter dis-pute, including a provision in the current con-tract to pay $105 million to the union to retire thousands of grievances filed over class size and composition.

The six-year contract signed last fall after a lengthy strike also includes additional prepara-tion time and a "learning improvement fund" to deal with special needs support.

When you visit your doctor about a problem (like pain), be a good reporter. Plan how you will give your doctor information. The better reporter you are, the better the chance your doctor can help. If it is pain, use descriptive words like “stabbing”, ’sharp”, “dull”, achy”. It is sometimes helpful to write down your comments so you don’t miss anything and it saves time as well.

Pharmacists put a “shake well” label on some liquid prescriptions. It’s important to heed that label. Some liquids are suspensions and

the medication may settle to the bottom of the bottle. Shaking will distribute the medication evenly and ensure you receive the right dose. Children’s liquid antibiotics are a good example.

“More is better” is something that doesn’t always apply to drugs. Drugs often reach a peak level of effectiveness at a certain dose and taking more will often not give better results. But side effects can occur at higher doses. Follow your doctor’s orders regarding how much medication to take.

Protect your teeth by keeping certain foods to a minimum. Even soft drinks and sports drinks contain acids that can corrode tooth enamel. Dried fruit can stick to teeth surfaces. Some contain extra sugar, too. Even yummy potato chips get into tooth crevices and stay. It’s hard to avoid some of these foods and drinks but brushing soon after eating them will avoid tooth decay and other problems.

The public got its first real look at a pro-posed major development in Arrow Heights on Thursday.

About 150 people came out to an open house at Arrow Heights Elementary to find out more about the Mackenzie Village de-velopment being put forward by property owner David Evans.

“People seem excited and input seems to be positive,” he told me after most people had left the open house. “People seem to re-ally realize there's a need for this different type of housing in the community.”

The development has been covered by the Review several times since it was first made public in February, but this was the first chance for people to give feedback and speak directly to the developer.

The open house began with a short pre-sentation by Dean Strachan, the city’s man-ager of development services. There wasn’t an open question & answer session after-wards – instead people dispersed to look at the poster boards on display and fill out feedback forms.

The Mackenzie Village (the name was changed from Mackenzie Landing because there’s already a development of that name at Revelstoke Mountain Resort) proposal calls for a high-density mix of townhouses, apartments, duplexes, fourplexes, sixplexes and single-family homes, with some com-mercial property on Nichol Road. The prop-erty is located between Nichol Road in the south, Upper Arrow Heights in the north, Hay Road in the east and Arrow Heights El-ementary in the south.

According to the plans, the sub-division would be accessible by two new roads off Nichol Road, and one road off Hay Road. It would include green space, storm water drainage ponds and the whole development would be heated by biomass using local wood waste.

The posters on display showed the con-cept for the area – including a first real look at the density of the 1,200 unit, 35-acre development will be. The density stood out in stark contrast to the surrounding, low-density, single-family residential neigh-bourhoods.

As for the number of units, it’s been re-ported in city documents to be 1,580 units,

but according to Fraser Blyth of Selkirk Planning & Design, the actual development will be less than 1,200 units – still a sub-stantial number for Revelstoke.

I spoke to more than a dozen attendees, some of whom agreed to speak on-the-record, others who declined. The most frequent comments were on the scope of the development and the sheer number of units.

“I do think it’s too big,” said Josee Zi-manyi. “It doesn’t seem like Revy. It seems like Canmore.”

Robert Powadiuk, one of the original de-velopers of Revelstoke Mountain Resort who is also working on his own sub-division nearby, called it “a lovely concept in the wrong place.”

Commenting on the density, he said: “My big question is, where is the subway stop for this development?”

He said the site would be best suited for single family homes and townhouses. “I think townhouses, properly done, would be highly desirable,” he said.

There were other comments – one per-son stopped briefly as he was leaving to say it was “very exciting for Revelstoke” and would help the economy, create jobs and boost the tax base.

Dusty Veideman criticized the nar-row streets, saying they would be difficult to plow and would be problematic in the winter. He also questioned the proposed $99,000 starting price-point. “You can’t make a good house cheap,” he said.

His friend Herb Marcolli, who lives just to the north of the property, said the develop-ment was “too large for such a small area.”

“It looks so crammed in there,” he said. Nancy Murray, whose home abuts the

northeast corner of the property, also ques-tioned the number of units. “It looks like so much compared to the zoning that’s there now,” she said.

However, she was positive about the fact Evans was looking to create affordable housing for younger families. While she questioned the ability to actually see the development come to fruition, she credited Evans for his vision.

“It’s too much right now, but in all fair-ness to the guy, he’s trying to make some-thing happen,” Murray said.

I asked Evans his response to criticism that it was too big. “It looks a bit menac-

ing when you look at it like this,” he replied. “We've put a lot of time and effort into con-sidering how the actual impact is going to be. We've got a larger percentage of greens-pace by quite a bit than we actually are re-quired to have in a regular development. I think as it comes together people will real-ize it's not quite the monster they think it is.”

Todd Arthurs, a Realtor with Remax, said people were looking for new and affordable housing. He could see people like oil patch workers, who travel to work, being interest-ed in the development. “My advice to David is be controlled,” said Arthurs. “Don’t go too big too quick.”

Greg Hoffart, the owner of Tree Con-struction, encouraged Evans to adopt pas-sive house standards, where buildings are as energy efficient as possible in order to bring down utility costs. “That would re-duce stress on infrastructure and would

reduce the demand heavily on our future energy requirements, and would create a sustainable neighbourhood.”

Following the open house, Dean Strachan said he would be reviewing all the comment forms and preparing a report to council. Depending on the response, there are three options. One would be to go back to the de-veloper, ask for changes and hold another open house. The second would be to have initial consultation if there are many un-answered questions. The third would be to head straight to the bylaw stage.

"Any decision making is made only after we've reviewed what the community's had to say,” said Strachan.

Evans said he is hoping to get approval this summer so detailed design and engi-neering work can start and construction can begin next year.

An application by the Revelstoke School District to sub-divide the old Big Eddy Elementary school site has also been delayed due to water issues. In that case, the issue is water quality; Interior Health is holding up the application until those is-sues are addressed.

The City of Revelstoke has applied for grant funding to help pay for the $4.5 million cost of up-grading the Big Eddy Waterworks so it can meet both water quality and fire flow requirements. A decision on funding is expected later this year.


City council asked city staff to look at the implications of imple-menting the new food security strategy developed by a multi-sec-tor steering community last year.

The strategy was presented to council earlier this year, and last week Fraser Blyth and Hailey Ross gave a presentation on it to coun-cil.

“Food security is a growing con-cern,” Ross told council.

The food security strategy evolved out of the Revelstoke food charter that was created in 2013. Ross said it was developed in re-

sponse to growing vulnerability to unstable global food markets.

“This vulnerability isn’t a very comfortable place to be when you’re trying to ensure your resi-dents have access to healthy, af-fordable, sustainable food,” she said.

The strategy has several major goals, including the creation of a food security committee, having a paid food security coordinator, putting a community liaison on the board of the summer Farm & Craft Market, developing a chicken by-law and establishing a community compost system.

“It’s about supporting food pro-duction within the city. It’s about

making flexible bylaws and not be-ing too restrictive,” said Blyth.

Ross noted several communities had food security coordinators, whether it was on staff or through a non-profit society.

Patti Larson, the coordinator of the food bank, told council that Community Connections could host that position and that it was looking for funding.

Mayor Mark McKee introduced a motion asking staff to look at the implications of the food security strategy. A report will likely come back to council at a later date.

Food security is on the agenda at city hall

Revelstoke’s new electric car charging sta-tion hasn’t gotten any use in the month since it opened, but the people who built it are hoping us-ers will come.

The Direct Current Fast Charging Station for Electric Vehicles opened outside the Visitor Infor-mation Centre in late March.

The $15,400 station was funded by the prov-ince’s Clean Energy Vehicle Program and the fed-eral ecoENERGY Innovation Initiative. The sta-tion is owned by BC Hydro and leased to the City of Revelstoke for $1 per month over the next five years. While BC Hydro installed the station, it will be maintained by the city.

It is the third electric vehicle charging station in Revelstoke. There are two at the Best Western Ho-tel – one regular one and one Tesla Supercharger station. Brady Beruschi, the manager of the Best Western, said the Tesla station is used about once a week.

The new station outside the Visitor Information Centre is listed on the Plugshare.com website and Greenlots app so electric vehicle owners know it is there. It will cost $0.35 per kilowatt-hour to use, or about $2 to $7 to charge a vehicle.

“Revelstoke is pleased to be a partner in this ini-tiative,” said Mayor Mark McKee in a news release. “We would like to thank BC Hydro and other se-nior levels of government for their leadership in promoting the use of electric vehicles in our com-munity and across the province.”

Hello again Revelstoke Review readers! Thanks to the Review for doing this se-ries featuring voices from city council.

As the chairperson of the Parks, Recre-ation and Culture Committee, I’d like to take this opportunity to update you on what’s going on at the parks committee. Between the budget and the parks mas-ter plan review, we’ve had to call extra committee meetings to get through all the business on the table. Here are some highlights in point form:

- The Parks, Recreation and Culture department is about halfway through its current, multi-year Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan, the direction-setting document for the department. We recently reviewed its 54 recom-mendations and set new goals. In other words, we're prioritizing and executing the existing plan.

- Extending the trail network around Williamson’s Lake to improve the expe-rience and explore connections to Revel-stoke Mountain Resort is in the existing plan, and the committee has identified it as a priority we’d like to move forward with. In addition, we have also identified upgrades to Williamson’s Lake recre-ation facility as a priority, and we hope to explore planning for potential up-grades there.

- The idea for a trails master plan has been outlined in planning documents for many years, and we want to get go-ing with this project. Basically, it means

planning out where and when a variety of interconnected trails interlinking the city will go. Most of us appreciate the need to reduce our carbon footprint; an improved transportation/recreation trail network is part of a more pedestrian and cycling friendly city. I'm hoping we can get great public engagement on this process.

- Expect to hear more in the com-ing months about long-term planning for the Revelstoke Forum. You may be aware that $7 million was budgeted for the roof replacement in coming years. For me, I think of that amount as an account-ing placeholder — we know we need to make a decision, and it’s likely going to be expensive. Working with the city’s De-velopment Services department, the plan is to apply contemporary asset manage-ment practices to the issue, and arrive at a balanced decision.

- The new washroom in Kovach Park is slated for construction this summer, part of the ongoing revitalization of that park which is planned to include new children's playground equipment, a new skatepark, seniors exercise equipment and some other landscaping work.

- Revelstoke Splash Park proponentsappeared as a delegation to the commit-tee recently, and city staff are now work-ing with the group on their idea to replace the pool in Farwell Park with an above-ground splash park. The parks director, Laurie Donato, is working with the pro-ponents on a more formal report, which is expected soon. It's great to see enthu-siastic community members getting be-hind new initiatives like this, including the willingness to tackle fundraising. Let's support them.

- Parks staff is working through plans for the mountain bike pump track in Centennial Park and the plan is to work with the proponent group to complete it this construction season, if all goes ac-cording to plan.

- The Revelstoke Golf Club task force is not within the parks department, but I'll speak to it as the council representa-

tive to the task force, and as the council representative to the Revelstoke Golf Club committee. The task force, chaired by Paul Norrie, has met twice and is working through financial, legal and en-gineering reports as baseline research into the situation. Our goal is to develop a long-term plan for the facility within a year. At the same time, a private group interested in leasing and operating the course has approached the city, so the committee has asked city staff to explore that option concurrently. I've also par-ticipated in several Revelstoke Golf Club board meetings.

In my view, there is a lot of oppor-tunity to improve the facility for local and visiting golfers. Over nine decades, countless club volunteers have put even more countless hours into providing this recreation facility at a historically very low cost to the city, and we should thank them. Unfortunately, problems such as changes in golfing trends and an ex-tremely old building that was never built for its current purpose are really catching up with us now. At the same time, we are marketing this community as a destina-tion resort, and an improved golf offer-ing and marketing can compliment that effort.

- The dogs have been marking des-ignated off-leash areas in the city for years, but many humans still don't know where they are. So, we are proposing bet-ter signage and some new dog waste bag stations.

***These are just a few of the many proj-

ects we have on the go. Many of these items are just starting their way through the process, meaning there will be op-portunities for input, engagement and council decisions. If you would like to talk to me about anything related to my role as city councillor, please email [email protected], or follow my Facebook page at Aaron Orlando, Revelstoke City Coun-cillor. Thanks! Aaron Orlando.

Chris Selvig, Assistant Planner.

Revelstoke needs a Conservation Offi-cer. I cannot say this forcefully enough.

Back in 2003, the BC Liberals removed two Conservation Officers from Golden, and for years, Golden was served very

poorly by this decision. After a long fight, the service was partially restored.

Now, Revelstoke is in exactly the same position with no Conservation Officer stationed in the community. Despite all the assurances about covering Revelstoke from other communities, we know that the reality is that Revelstoke is left to fend for itself.

Examples have been brought forward to the Minister of Environment such as the case of a bear repeatedly visiting a neigh-bourhood, attempting to break into the same house twice, and it taking 5 days for Conservation Officers from another com-munity to respond.

The removal of the Conservation Officer

means that RCMP are asked to deal with situations beyond their training, without proper equipment, and for which they have no time. The RCMP do their best, but to pass these duties to them is unfair.

But Conservation Officers do more than just manage wildlife encounters, they are responsible for the enforcement that pro-tects fish and wildlife. The Revelstoke Rod and Gun Club has not only raised concerns of public safety, but also of poaching and other fish and wildlife related offenses, and routine fish and wildlife management issues.

The government says that they have no money to pay for this type of service, but they found $235 million a year to give a tax

break to the richest 2% of British Columbi-ans. The fact is that this government has chosen the interests of the rich over the proper management of fish and wildlife, and over ensuring public safety in Revel-stoke.

The only answer is for the residents of Revelstoke to continuously push for a re-turn of a Revelstoke-based Conservation Officer. Please take the time to share your concerns with the Premier at [email protected] and the Minister of Environment at [email protected].

KAMLOOPS – The Province’s new 10-year transportation plan, B.C. on the Move, priori-tizes investments in our transportation network, and highlights our commitment to continued im-provements to Highway 1 between Kamloops and the Alberta border.

The Trans-Canada Highway is B.C.’s primary southern east-west corridor. The section between Kamloops and the Alberta border is more than 400 kilometres long and winds through some of the most challenging terrain in Canada. It is an essential corridor for trade and travel, used by as many as 12,000 vehicles each day, and accounting for the movement of $2 billion dollars in trade per year.

Since 2001, the provincial and federal govern-ments have invested approximately $700 million in improvements between Kamloops and the Al-berta border. As part of this investment, the Prov-ince has widened 45 kilometres of Highway 1 to four lanes and has replaced or installed 11 new structures.

Work is currently underway to widen more sec-tions of Highway 1 to improve safety and capac-ity. Construction is in full swing on two major Highway 1 improvement projects between Monte Creek and Hoffman’s Bluff east of Kamloops. An-

other phase of this work will start this spring, to widen another three kilometres of Highway 1 from two to four lanes through Hoffman’s Bluff itself.

In addition, work is underway east of Sicamous to replace the Malakwa Bridge and widen three ki-lometres of highway to four lanes.

As detailed in our recently launched 10-year transportation plan, B.C. on the Move, and build-ing on the provincial commitment to invest $650 million over the next 10 years towards four-laning Highway 1 from Kamloops to the Alberta border, the Province will work with Canada to leverage federal funding for priority projects. It is the Prov-ince’s goal to increase investment on this corridor to over $1 billion with partners over the next 10 years.

With federal and provincial contributions to date, 22 of the 26 kilometres through the Kick-ing Horse Canyon, east of Golden, have been wid-ened to four lanes, dramatically improving safety and capacity of this section of the Trans-Canada. To complete the remaining four kilometres, an investment of up to $650 million is needed. The Province continues to pursue a federal partnership through the National Infrastructure Component of the Building Canada Fund to enable completion of this project.

Other Highway 1 improvement projects priori-tized through B.C. on the Move include Hoffman's Bluff to Jade Mountain, Donald East, Illecillewaet and Salmon Arm West. Planning and design work is underway on each of these projects.

Through B.C. on the Move, we are making other investments in the safety and reliability of High-way 1. As part of our $25-million-per-year Road-side Safety program, we’ll be piloting a variable speed zone between Malakwa and Revelstoke, and investing in guardrails in key locations along the corridor.

MOTHER’S DAY

A local contractor is asking the City of Revelstoke to begin issuing

building permits in the Big Eddy again.

The city says that’s not possible – because there is no moratorium on building permits. George Buhler,

Big Eddy building permit dispute comes to councilALEX COOPER

[email protected]

who has been contracted to build a new storage facility for Vince Sessa, the owner of the Big Eddy Market, and is representing several Big Eddy property owners in an assessment appeal, made the demand at Tuesday's council meeting.

"The Big Eddy tax payers should be given the same opportunity to develop their property as any other tax payer of the City of Revelstoke," said Buhler, reading from a prepared statement.

Buhler told council it "made absolutely no sense" that the same water system that provided fire protection to existing buildings wasn't good enough for a new development.

"There is absolutely no evidence that the City of Revelstoke would be liable for a fire unless they would refuse to attend the fire or make a reason-able attempt to extinguish the fire," he said.

He said the bylaws that govern the city water system "cannot be applied" to Big Eddy Water-works since the city does not own it.

The Big Eddy water system is facing water qual-ity and water quantity issues. The water quality means Interior Health has put the Big Eddy un-der a water quality advisory, and the quantity is-

sue means there isn’t enough water for commer-cial fire flow.

Mayor Mark McKee responded to Buhler, say-ing he would look into the issues of liability with staff.

"What I can tell you, and I can tell residents of the Big Eddy, is that nobody around this table ran for council saying that we cannot give out build-ing permits in the Big Eddy,” he said.

What about the premise of Buhler’s presenta-tion – that the city is refusing to issue building permits? Mike Thomas, the city’s director of en-gineering, said that is not the case.

"We're not refusing building permits,” Thomas said. “At no point have we stated to George or anyone else that the city would refuse to issue a building permit if the applicant could show com-pliance with the relevant bylaws."

The relevant bylaw is the one that governs fire flow requirements on commercial properties. Since the Big Eddy Waterworks doesn’t provide adequate flow, any commercial developer would have to devise a system on their property to pro-vide enough on their own, said Thomas.

He said that was the case throughout the city and not just in the Big Eddy and that the same rules are being applied to the brewery expansion in Johnson Heights.

“This is not an unusual request from the city,” he said.

He added that municipalities could be held li-able in case of a fire.

Buhler, for his part, said the city was “back-pedalling like crazy” when asked to reply to Thomas’ comments.

The City of Revelstoke has applied for grant funding to help pay for the $4.5 million cost of upgrading the Big Eddy Waterworks so it can both water quality and fire flow requirements. A decision on funding is expected later this year.

“"We're making every effort to be successful in the long term to support the Big Eddy water sys-tem,” said Thomas.

Michelle Cole (in black) addresses a small gathering at the annual Workers Memorial on Tuesday. Cole stressed the importance of listening when it comes to safety — listening to others and listen-ing to yourself. "We need to listen to ourselves," she said. "If you're in a situation, say something." She said safety needed to become "part of our every day. When we go on automatic, that's when accidents happen." ~ Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Review

invited exceptional junior students to join the senior students. The pieces put in the show are based on assignments from Visual Arts, Media, Art Foundation, and IDS courses. Some art work is done by the international students who add their own uniqueness to the show.

As in previous years, most student art pieces are for sale. The art show is a superb opportu-nity for students to get their foot in the door to join the art community.

Six students were chosen to have solo exhib-its, including myself (Sarah Boaz), Liam McCabe, Cailin English, Maxine Opatrill, Kayla Fenwick,

and Hallie Newfield. Liam and I work mainly with clay, but work with other mediums as well to produce two-dimensional work. Cailin works predominantly with sharpie and acrylics, while Maxine works typically with pencil crayon and acrylics. Kayla and Hallie both work exclusively with acrylics. Solo exhibitors will be producing 10 to 15 pieces that showcase their skills.

Solo exhibitors are required to frame and price all their own work for the experience. They also will have their own write-ups on themselves and their art. Mrs Browning frames most of the other student work; frames are donated to the art class by the RSS Parent Advisory Council and the Revelstoke Visual Art Centre.

A thank you to Mrs. Browning for helping with the RSS student artwork, framing it, and work-ing towards organizing an exhibition for the RSS students. Also a thank you to Jackie Pendergast and her team for hanging and displaying the pieces as well as making the show possible.

“Now, Then, When? Images, Echoes, and Re-flections" will showcase 150 art works across a variety of mediums at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre this month. The Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre is located at 320 Wilson Street. It is open from 12–4 p.m. from Tuesday to Saturday. The show runs until June 5.

Sitting atop Royal LePage, across from City Hall, you will find the new Revelstoke Coworking space. A 1,100-square-foot communal working environment where individuals, who generally work for different organiza-tions, come to carry out their tasks in a shared space. A progressive model of work life that has caught on in major urban areas over the last several years has finally come to fruition in Revel-stoke.

A founder of Revelstoke Coworking, Jean-Marc LaFlamme has had an inter-est in shared working spaces for a while. Providing marketing strategy for the

largest coworking space in Cagary’s east end, The Commons, LaFlamme lent his knowledge and experience to the estab-lishment of coworking in Revelstoke.

Growing in popularity, the coworking model has the potential to bolster eco-nomic development through support-ing individuals with ideas, who want to contribute, and are seeking workspace. LaFlamme referred to the energy cre-ated by focused work. It acts as a source of stimulation for the surrounding en-vironment, increasing productivity.

This kind of environment facilitates discussion and feedback, allowing members to seek advice from different perspectives that can aid in problem solving and subsequently build a more supportive community that encourages

Highway Improvements, from page 9

Because Highway 1 traverses some of the prov-ince’s most challenging avalanche terrain, the Province is also committing to pursue new tech-nologies and other improvements to reduce the number and duration of highway closures during periods of high avalanche hazard. The ministry will also work towards this goal with local govern-ment and incident responders, including the po-lice and BC Coroners Service.

Improving the Trans-Canada Highway between Kamloops and the Alberta border to make it safer and more efficient for all travellers is critical to attract new investment and support economic growth in British Columbia.

Through B.C. on the Move, the Government of B.C. will continue to four-lane and implement safety improvements on the Trans-Canada, and work with Canada to leverage available funding to build on our partnership successes to date.

entrepreneurship and development of commu-nity initiatives.

The coworking model also provides members with collaboration opportunities from new re-lationships and cost savings from shared space.

Aspiring to be the cheapest coworking space on the planet, Revelstoke Coworking offers private offices starting at $100 a month, desk space starting at $50, and drop in rates for oc-casional users.

Since their official opening last month, mem-bership includes an assortment of Revelstoke organizations, not-for-profits, start-ups, con-sultants, freelancers, and developers.

Existing as a not-for-profit makes sense for Revelstoke Coworking, said LaFlamme. It opens up funding opportunities and established a mu-tually beneficial relationship for owners and members based on positive values rather than profit.

The community can also benefit through the development and expansion of community ini-tiatives. LaFlamme speaks of the possibility for organizations to expand their reach in the same way the North Columbia Environmental Society has grown new limbs of operation.

The next step in the development of Revel-stoke Coworking is to attract visiting profes-sionals and extend networks outside the com-munity. LaFLamme also sees the space catering to workshops, retreats and other educational events.

Coworking spaces are said to have economic benefits by boosting creativity and quality of work. Deskmag’s annual Global Coworking Sur-vey concluded that 71 per cent of respondents experienced a boost in creativity since joining a coworking space and 62 per cent said their stan-dard of work had improved.

With beautiful weather and locals pick-ing up their weekly produce, baked goods, plant starters, curry and more, Revel-stoke's first official market of 2015 was a success. While the market boasts tried and true local favourites, there were also a few fresh faces to investigate.

If you're looking for fresh eggs or any kind of meat bird, Jerry Suderman from Crossroad Farms is a vendor worth check-ing out. Enjoying his first summer mar-ket, Suderman offers chicken eggs (with duck eggs coming in the early fall) as well as chicken, game hens, turkey, duck and goose meat. All his animals are fed natural feed and are free range. Teria Davis, who purchased eggs last week from Suderman, had nothing but praise. “There were great,” Davis said, “and six of them had twin yolks in the eggs. I couldn't believe it!”

Also hailing from Armstrong are Halee and Avery Fried with Composted Chicken Manure.

The Frieds make the compost at their farm, Corfe's Farms, where they raise Broiler meat chickens. Bagged and ready to be tilled into the garden, the Frieds will be at the Market until mid June, when people’s gardens are set and ready for the summer. “The manure has an odour,” Fried warns. “But your plants will thank you for it.”

Janis Morrison is joining the market for the spring session and is excited to be of-fering her handmade bead and metal book-marks and paracord pet collars. “I hope to be here for the summer if I can get in,” Morrison explains. “I'm from Salmon Arm and know the market managers for the Shuswap, Gene and Sharon from Mayfair Farms. They encouraged me to try the Rev-elstoke market.”

Michele Broemeling is embarking on her second year at the market. Her food com-

pany, Dawg Waggin; Home of the Quinoa Clucker, offers a variety of eggs and cheese sandwiches, smokies and a gluten free chicken dog made from organic chicken and quinoa. “This year I'd like to add a cou-ple salads,” Broemeling says, “one feta, one Asian. I'm also waiting on permission from Interior Health so I can make a gourmet dog with grilled romaine and garlic aioli.”

Trever Kehler of USED Recycled Seat Belt isn't new to the market, having cut his business teeth there in 2003, but he is back after a season off. All of Kehler's products are handmade in BC from reclaimed ve-hicle seat belts. “I make everything from backpacks to diaper bags, computer bags to purses, even sun visors,” Kehler elabo-

rates. “And I'm happy to be back at the market.”

Gay Witowski is starting her fourth year at the market, but this year she has vastly expanded her range of homemade wooden toys. From Malakwa, Witowski hand makes everything on the table. “It's the toys that have been popular,” Witows-ki explains. While still offering her wall hangings and jewelry, children flock to her truck, puzzles, dragons, boats and trac-tors. “I'm excited for the season,” Witowski says. Many of her wooden toys start at five dollars, allowing children to save up their money and make their own purchases. Other popular items are the small ani-mal wooden cut-outs, five for a dollar and

ready to paint or play with.Barefood Market Gardens from Revel-

stoke, brainchild of Nadia Luckav, is back at the market. While Luckav is in her fourth year at the market, this will be her second in offering a variety of starters for local gardeners to plant. She currently has a selection of herbs and tomatoes, dried tomatoes and herbs, as well as fresh veg-etables.

There are, of course, many long time fa-vourite vendors returning. A prime exam-ple of this is Kelly Roberts and her baked goods, Baked in BC. Roberts is entering her seventh year. Roberts initially got into the market because she couldn't find work in town. The market, she enthuses, has

been great. “It's full of young vibrant people who want to purchase. And look at where we live, you can't beat this location.” What's more, now with a repeat cli-entele who know and love her goods, Rob-erts can work full time for herself in the sum-mer months.

Long timer and new-bie vendors alike have experienced or heard of the popularity of the Revelstoke market. Keysha Jackson, the market manager, says this is reflected on how hard it is for new ven-dors to get a space in the summer. “July and August we're pretty full,” she laughs, “this is a popular market to be a part of.”

The Revelstoke U11 Boys Development team traveled to Vernon on Sunday to play against Ver-non and Salmon Arm. The first game of the day was a tough battle against Vernon. Vernon’s quick passes forced our team to work especially hard to shut down each attacking play, and we were re-minded of the importance of team formation on the field. Nelson Luxmoore was able to score a goal, but even though the team played well, there was lots to be learned in this 5-1 loss.

Fortunately the lessons learned from our morn-ing defeat were put to use in the afternoon game against Shuswap. The boys widened their game and used supportive passing plays to generate op-portunities on the field. With solid passes and a stronger shape, the boys were able to post a 3-0 shutout against the Shuswap team. Rogan Camp-bell, Francesco Morrone, and Thomas MacDonald were the boys who found the back of the net, and it is thanks to the teamwork and grit of all the boys on the U11 Development team that everyone went home with a smile.

Four Canadian women are doing their part to reduce the neonatal mortality rate in Guatemala by providing midwives in that country with the tools to provide risk assessment for women giv-ing birth. Guatemala's neonatal mortality rate is among the highest in the world with 350 deaths per 100,000 live births. In comparison, Canada's neonatal mortality rate is 8/100,000.

Known as the Safe Motherhood Project, this year was the first time a midwife joined the team. Revelstoke midwife Birte Paschen was asked to join the team after hearing about the project through a client of hers.

“I went to Guatamala 18 years ago to study Spanish. I hoped to go back and work as a mid-wife,” said Paschen. “A client I had in Salmon Arm told me about a woman from her church who was going to Guatemala.”

Soon after, Paschen received a call from Annette Borkent and was asked to join the Safe Mother-hood Project. Borkent and Paschen, along with Ruth Brighouse and Amanda Shibley made up this year's team. The team spent two weeks in San Miguel Ixtahuacan (they only go to places they are invited). Paschen said the project is well known in Guatemala, and they have two Guatemalan col-leagues, one of whom is now paid year round.

“I'm so happy about the change we can make in some people's lives,” said Paschen. That change comes about through the education the SafeMo-therhood Project provides for midwives in Gua-temala. Many of these women are untrained and may simply be the midwife because they are the oldest woman in the village, or their mother did it before them, or “God told them to.” Despite the reasons, women in Guatemala often have to rely on a midwife as getting to a hospital can be com-plicated.

“Seventy per cent of people in Guatemala have a home birth because they live too far away from the hospital,” said Paschen. In addition, if a wom-an does go to the hospital only her husband is al-lowed in (the midwife is not) and patients must supply everything from food and bedding to any medicine they may need.

By providing midwives in Guatemala the tools to teach risk assessment, the goal of the Safe Moth-erhood Project is to reduce the neonatal mortality rate. According to Paschen the three biggest risks

Over the five days of training, the midwives learn many skills, however the first lesson they are

taught is how to properly wash their hands. “We show them how to do a surgical

scrub,” said Paschen.In addition to learning from the SafeMo-

therhood team, the midwives also get a chance to practice with pregnant women they are currently working with.

“They love the hands on approach. Many [of the women] do not read and write, and many do not speak Spanish. They speak a Mayan Dialect,” said Paschen. To help with

this there are two midwives who work with the project as translators.

“One thing that really blew me away was meeting Gloria (Mayan midwife). As a mid-wife in Guatemala you're not paid. She has raised 4 children, her husband is illiterate so when he works he makes less than $5 a day. They put all of their children through school,” said Paschen.

This year The SafeMotherhood Project pro-vided education to 60 midwives ranging in age from 20 to 80. After completing the train-ing, a graduation ceremony is held. Both the

Canadian and Guatemalan national anthems are sung, family members come to watch along with hospital staff, town priests and other important people from the community.

“They were so proud, most have never been to school,” said Paschen.

Each midwife gets a hand book, photo-graph of the group, grad certificate, bag filled with supplies they use at births (gloves, gauze, umbilical scissors, headlamp, pinard stethoscope, box with soap, brush and nail clippers, and a plastic cover to put over the woman's bed. Every midwife gets to practice

with the equipment they will get. On Wednesday, May 13 at 7 p.m. The

SafeMotherhood Project will be making a presentation at the Village Idiot. During the presentation the Village Idiot will be putting on a pizza buffet and donating the proceeds towards the project. In addition, for the month of May, Sangha Bean will donate 25 cents from each cup of drip coffee sold to-wards the project.
