The Prairie Hills fi re in Glacier National Park is still slowly smouldering and smoke is visible in the valley. Parks Canada continues to monitor the fi re as it burns naturally. With the fi ne weather over the past month the fi re has grown about fi ve hectares (10 football fi elds) and will probably continue to burn until the snow fl ies. “It is primarily a surface fi re, gradually burning down the slope consuming dead timber in an old burn area,” said Simon Hunt, a fi re management specialist with Parks Canada.Hunt took this picture high above the fi re in an old burn area looking down towards the fi re. The Prairie Hills fi re is smouldering below and smoke is visible curling its way along the valley bottom. What was even more notable to Hunt was the condition of the old burn area he was standing in from the mid 1990s. “The ground was covered with huckleberry bushes, scarlet red and in the middle was a white bark pine seedling that had established itself in the middle,” said Hunt. “White bark pine is a newly endangered species that requires fi re as part of its natural regeneration process. It was great to see one and know that our work is keeping the forest healthy.”

People over the age of 60 make up a large part of the traveling community. This age group is more susceptible to medical problems while traveling and do well to adhere to preventive measures like: wearing support stockings on long-distance flights; keeping up hydration; washing hands often; using disposable tissues and even using face masks in crowded situations and insect repellants when called for.
Stem cells are unique cells in the body that have the ability to change into other types of cells. They could be used to repair spinal cord injuries, repair damaged hearts and even help Alzheimer’s patients. It was found recently that stem cells remain alive up to two weeks after death. Donation of organs is common and in the future, stem cell donation could also be an option.
It’s always a concern
whether the pollution we put into our air is causing health problems. The World Health Organization recently added diesel fumes to the list of chemicals that cause cancer. Diesel fumes were formerly listed as a “probable” cause of cancer. It now has been reclassified to have “definite links with cancer”.
Muscle cramps could be caused by an electrolyte
imbalance which is easily confirmed by a blood test. If that’s not the problem, try leg stretches before bedtime and keep alcohol and caffeine consumption to a minimum because they can cause dehydration which can make cramps more likely to happen.

Cellular service coming to majority of Revelstoke-Sicamous highway
Residents and travellers along
the Trans-Canada Highway, from
Malakwa to the Three Valley Gap,
can expect to have cellular service
in the next three months.
Telus spokesperson Shawn
Hall says construction is currently
underway on two cell tower sites,
one in Malakwa and one in Three
Valley Gap, that he expects will “go
live” in a few months time.
“It’s a fairly extensive construc-
tion project because of the rural
areas that they’re in,” says Hall. “We
have to put in power, we have to
put a link into our network and the
like… And they will provide cover-
age along that stretch of Highway
1 there that currently doesn’t have
any wireless service. Once com-
plete, I don’t have the fi nal fi gures
right now, but the two sites will rep-
resent an investment signifi cantly
north of $1 million by Telus.”
Nathan Lobb, owner of Perfec-
tion Concrete Services in Malakwa,
is already benefi tting from the local
tower, as his company was subcon-
tracted to pour the concrete base.
“They said it’s a 60-metre
tower,” says Lobb. “That pad alone,
I bet cost $50 to $80,000, just the
concrete work. It’s way bigger than
what they usually pour because of
the volume of snow they get out
there. The pad was 10 metres by 10
metres by four-feet thick.”
But Lobb says the tower will be
a substantial benefi t for Malakwa
residents and businesses alike, who
will no longer have to rely on (or
pay for) a land line. He also expects
cellular service to be a huge plus
when it comes to safety for snow-
mobilers who utilize the popular
Eagle Pass, and other local sledding
areas.
Columbia Shuswap Regional
District Area E Rural Sicamous-
Malakwa Director Rhona Martin
says she and the regional district
board have been encouraging Telus
for quite some time to bring cellu-
lar service to the area. She says it
will be a signifi cant benefi t to con-
tractors like Lobb, and for overall
safety in the area.
Burner Restaurant & Lounge
owner Tamryn Koebel says peo-
ple have been talking for so long
about extending cellular service to
Malakwa, she’ll believe it’s hap-
pened when her phone says there’s
service. That said, Koebel explains
her business currently relies on
high-speed Internet, which works
intermittently at best, and takes an
additional hit when customers want
Internet access.
“But then it bogs down our sys-
tems and our debit machines are on
it, so our debit machines are con-
stantly being kicked in and out,”
says Koebel, noting cellular service
would be more consistent.
However, for Koebel, the bigger
issue is public safety.
“Because RCMP come from
Sicamous, you have to get back
to a land line to be able to call for
help, and then there’s already going
to be that delay in getting help out
to Malakwa…,” says Koebel, add-
ing when there was an accident on
the Malakwa bridge last year, the
witness had to drive back to the
Burner to call for help. “Now, if the
Burner had been closed, they’ve got
to drive all the way back to, I think
it’s Cambie Solsqua, before they
can get service again. That’s a huge
issue, especially when you’ve got
fatalities or people needing imme-
diate assistance.”
Albatross Plumbing owner
Marco Warger is of the same mind.
While he stands to benefi t business-
wise from cellular service, which
would allow him to respond more
quickly to emergencies, Warger
says the safety benefi ts are huge.
“The amount of traffi c going up
and down that road every day, and
with the accidents and breakdowns,
and the people you see with fl at
tires or overheating, they’re totally
at the mercy of trying to fi nd some-
body who can drive into cell range
or knock on somebody’s door,” says
Warger. “With today’s technology,
that’s just terrible.”
Hall confi rmed Telus has been
looking at providing cellular ser-
vice to the area for some time, add-
ing these are not “short-term proj-
ects where it’s just a matter of fl ip-
ping a switch.”
“We have to go and acquire a site,
whether that’s on Crown land or pro-
vincial or private land with a landlord
who wants to rent space. We have to
undergo environmental reviews…,”
Hall explained, adding Telus has
been contracted by the province to
provide cellular service to 1,700 kilo-
metres of highway corridor.
He said the new towers will fi ll
most of the coverage gap between
Revelstoke and Sicamous, and that
Telus was looking at locations to
cover the few holes that will remain
once the new towers go live.

Rod Kessler steps down as COO of Revelstoke Mountain Resort
When Rod Kessler fi rst came to
Revelstoke to interview for the posi-
tion of Chief Operating Offi cer, the
town was buried in snow.
“The snow was up to the roof for
the fi rst storey homes in the commu-
nity,” he recalled. “I never really saw
the community in the interview pro-
cess – it was buried.”
Not long after he was hired to direct
the mountain operations of the resort
as it went from dreams and decades of
planning to reality.
Last week, after more than 5.5
years in Revelstoke, he stepped down
from his post to take a position with
LL Bean in Maine and be closer to
his children. The Times Review fi rst
reported his resignation on Thursday.
“I think at the end of the day the feel-
ing was the family strings were pull-
ing much harder than we expected,”
he said in an interview. “We didn’t
see that coming. This opportunity
presented itself and to be 30 minutes
away from some of our kids looked
appealing.”
Kessler joined RMR as COO at
the outset of its operations in Feb-
ruary 2007, not long after the resort
announced the purchase of the Rev-
elation Gondola and Stoke Chair. He
later added the title of Vice-President
to his position.
He came to Revelstoke after 30
years in the ski resort industry, includ-
ing 15 years in senior management
at Vermont’s Stowe Mountain Resort
and Stratton Mountain Resort.
“I would like to wish Rod well, he
and (Rod’s wife) Brenda, and thank
them for their efforts,” said Graham
Rennie, the President and COO of
Northland Asset Management, which
operates RMR.
Kessler was put in charge of the
resort’s entire mountain operations,
including skier services, mountain
maintenance and construction, cat ski-
ing; food, beverage and retail services;
the ski school and ticket sales.

Nelson residentsoppose being added to Revelstoke’s riding
Residents and Nelson area politicians voiced their
opposition to the proposed federal electoral bound-
ary change at Tuesday night’s hearing at the Best
Western in Nelson.
The new Kootenay-Columbia riding would add
Nelson, Harrop-Proctor, Salmo, and Ymir; while
Castlegar, Trail, Fruitvale, Kaslo, New Denver, Sil-
verton, Slocan would join South Okanagan-West
Kootenay.
While many locals shared their thoughts on the
potential shift, politicians were in agreement about
the negative effects the new ridings would have on
the area’s communities.
Regional District of Central Kootenay director
for Area D Andy Shadrack began the presentations
by stating the historical, economic and social ties
Nelson has to Trail and Castlegar, and also Nakusp’s
connection to the tri-cities instead of Revelstoke and
Vernon.
Shadrack proposed amendments to the potential
ridings suggesting regional district areas D, H and
K, and Nakusp be part of the new South Okanagan-
West Kootenay riding.
He also suggested the portion of Electoral Area
B in Columbia-Shuswap Regional District just north
of Beaton Arm and to the east to the height of land
bordering the RDCK’s Area D including Trout Lake
be canvassed to determine which riding they would
prefer. “Nelson is this region’s centre and it should
remain that way,” said Shadrack.
Many of the evening’s presenters, including
Shadrack, expressed concerns around the inclusion
of Penticton in the former BC Southern Interior rid-
ing. “Penticton will dominate the riding,” said Shad-
rack. “It will lose the rural character of the riding.”
Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall agreed
with Shadrack’s suggestions and said the proposed
boundary shift fails to recognize the region’s need
for fair and effective representation to the Govern-
ment of Canada.
“Knowing what travel is like for Nelson-Creston
alone, I can expertly say the geographic realities of
a riding with a population above the electoral quo-
tient that includes Nelson, Golden, Nakusp, Cran-
brook, Elkford and dozens of small unincorporated
communities, or a riding that includes Kaslo, Slo-
can, Castlegar and Penticton and multiple mountain
ranges and passes, simply would not be manage-
able,” Mungall told the commission.
Mungall commented on how, unlike her col-
league Vancouver -West End MLA Spencer Herbert
who can walk around his riding in an hour, commu-
nities in the Southern Interior and Kootenay-Colum-
bia riding are smaller and spread out. “I say with
100 per cent confi dence the boundaries as proposed
put Kootenay residents at a disadvantage and reduce
their access to their representative,” she said.
Opposition to the proposed changes also came
from Village of Slocan Mayor Madeleine Perriere
who would see her municipality move to the South
Okanagan-West Kootenay riding.
“The existing boundaries serve our residents
well,” said Perrier. “Changes to the ridings would
be harmful to established patterns of local govern-
ment.”
Perrier emphasized the historic connection Slo-
can has to Nelson, Castlegar and Trail and the way
the communities work together in promoting activ-
ities for the region. “The proposed changes do not
comply with the goal of good representation for all
citizens,” she said.
The commission will continue to travel around
the province and the region hearing other presenta-
tions.

Dangerous passing, distracted driving lead to crashes west of Revelstoke
Five people received minor
injuries as three separate acci-
dents snarled traffi c on the Trans-
Canada Highway west of Revel-
stoke last weekend, the RCMP
reports.
On Saturday, Sept. 29, at
around 8:30 a.m. a westbound
tractor-trailer lost control and
overturned while trying to pass
another vehicle just west of Three
Valley Gap.
Witnesses told the RCMP that
the driver was trying to pass a
slow moving vehicle towing a
boat when he lost control and
turned over, blocking the east-
bound lane and westbound pass-
ing lane.
The 56-year-old driver of the
semi was treated at the scene
by paramedics and released.
The RCMP continues to investi-
gate the accident and charges are
pending.
On Sunday, Sept. 30, two
crashes occurred near the
Enchanted Forest. The fi rst inci-
dent took place at around 3:15
a.m., when a westbound Honda
Civic attempted to pass a tractor-
trailer over a double-solid line.
While passing, the driver clipped
the rear tire of an eastbound trac-
tor-trailer, causing the Honda to
fl y off the road, fl ip over and land
in the adjacent river in about one
foot of water.
All three occupants of the
Honda were able to get out of
the vehicle. They were taken to
hospital and treated for injuries.
The RCMP continues to investi-
gate the accident and charges are
pending.
Later Sunday, at around 4:30
p.m., the RCMP were called
out to another accident near the
Enchanted Forest. This time, a
westbound driver, who said she
was distracted by looking at a
large rock on the north side of the
road, found herself veering onto
the gravel shoulder. She lost con-
trol, went off the roadway and
fl ipped into the water.
Several motorists stopped and
pulled the unconscious driver
out of the water. The 43-year-
old-Calgary woman was taken
to Queen Victoria Hospital with
minor injuries.
The RCMP continues to inves-
tigate the accident.

RCMP seeking mountain bike thief
The Revelstoke RCMP is seek-
ing help in tracking down a thief
who stole a mountain bike from a
vehicle last Friday night.
The theft took place on Friday,
Sept. 28, between 8 and 9:30 p.m.
near the Woolsey Creek restau-
rant on Second Street West and
Garden Avenue.
According to the Revelstoke
RCMP, a Salmon Arm resident
parked his car near the restaurant
while he went in to eat. “Upon
returning to the vehicle he found
that some unknown person or
persons had used (a) bolt cutter
to cut the lock off of his bike and
removed the bike from the roof
rack of the vehicle,” said Staff-
Sgt. Jacquie Olsen in a statement.
The bike is described as a Spe-
cialized Enduro mountain bike,
black and red in colour, with a
value of about $3,000. The victim
had come to Revelstoke to moun-
tain bike the next day, the RCMP
said.
There has been 35 complaints
of stolen bikes so far this year.
Anyone with information
about the theft is asked to call the
Revelstoke RCMP at 250-837-
5255 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-
222-8477.

October 5 saw the 18th annual celebra-
tion of World Teachers’ Day. Revelstoke
teachers, trustees and school district admin-
istration mingled at Minto Manor during
the afternoon of October 4 to acknowledge
the value of teaching and the love of learn-
ing within our community and around the
world.
UNESCO fi rst proclaimed World Teach-
ers’ Day in 1994. This date marked the
adoption of many items – the rights and
responsibilities of teachers as well as inter-
national standards for our training, fur-
ther education, recruitment, employment,
teaching and learning conditions.
World Teachers’ Day is a natural exten-
sion of UNESCO’s year-round work of
promoting teaching and highlights that this
profession, so vital to the healthy func-
tioning of our society, needs itself to be
healthy.
Revelstoke has always valued a success-
ful education system and this has had an
increased visual presence within our com-
munity, as the past year has seen a new
high school replacing the old and the clos-
ing of Mountain View and Mount Begbie
schools to accommodate the opening of
Begbie View Elementary.
The closing of the old and the opening of
the new has required teachers in all our local
schools to dedicate even more than their
usual personal hours to ensure that we main-
tain a high standard of public education.
The Revelstoke Teachers’ Associa-
tion would like to recognize the persistent
effort, numerous hours and personalized
activities that educators engage in every
day to help all students become successful
learners and valued members of our com-
munity. Please take an opportunity to show
your appreciation to your child’s teacher.
Many of us lead hectic lives and if this
is your situation, you may want to check
out a website called Education Internation-
al’s WTD at www.ei-ie.org. There you can
fi nd electronic greeting cards you can send
to teachers, colleagues and friends.

Why volunteeer with hospice?
Why volunteer?
Have you ever thought why do peo-
ple volunteer? I have often asked our
current volunteers with the Revelstoke
Hospice this question – why? The
answer that each current volunteer
gives is different, but there is a theme.
Some volunteers will share a per-
sonal story of a loved one who received
hospice care in the past. It may have
been a spouse, parent or friend that
was receiving hospice care. And after
the loved one passed away, they now
they feel it’s time to give back.
There are some volunteers that have
a medical background. They have told
me that they are at a point in their life
that they want to give back to the com-
munity.
The recurring theme is giving. Giv-
ing of ourselves and our time can
make a huge difference to a person’s
life. Revelstoke is known as a desti-
nation for extreme sports and beauti-
ful scenery, but in this little mountain
town there are seniors who are dealing
with social isolation. There are peo-
ple that are facing terminal illnesses.
In these scenarios, having someone to
share or to have someone who can just
listen makes a huge difference to that
person’s quality of life.
When your loved one is diagnosed
with a terminal illness the emotions
and thoughts are everywhere. The
emotions can be diffi cult to describe.
Some people want to share their expe-
rience and situation, while others have
the need to retreat. Volunteers can
be that someone to speak to or to just
be there. Grief shared is grief dimin-
ished.
Revelstoke Hospice Society serves
clients and their families that are fac-
ing terminal illnesses. The society also
has a second program called Pals. Pals
is a visitation program for seniors who
often live in residential care facili-
ties who may have no family in Rev-
elstoke. Sometimes their families are
not able to visit often due to work and
other responsibilities. In some scenar-
io’s the family members do not live in
Revelstoke.
I often think what makes a healthy,
vibrant society is how we take care of
vulnerable people.
Throughout Revelstoke there are
wonderful organizations, societies,
etc... that support people in various
stages and types of crisis. We are very
fortunate for what we have in Revel-
stoke. There are some very dedicated
and compassionate people that vol-
unteer many hours in helping people
throughout Revelstoke.
The Revelstoke Hospice Society
was incorporated as a society in 1994
and continues to offer support to the
community of Revelstoke. Revel-
stoke has been generous in its support
throughout the years.
Would you say you are a compas-
sionate and giving person who has a
few hours a week to share with some-
one who needs a friendly visit? Would
you say you’re a person who val-
ues the quality of human life? If you
answered yes, then maybe it’s “time”
for you to consider volunteering.
Andree Rioux is the executive direc-tor of the Revelstoke Hospice Society.
COMMUNITY COMMENTBY ANDREE RIOUX
NEWS
Support shown for transit changes at open house
Two weeks ago Lorna Johanson
was part of a group of seniors protest-
ing against changes to Revelstoke’s
bus routes.
“If you spoil it for us, we will lose
it,” she told Alan Mason, the city’s
director of economic development in
a meeting on Sept. 25.
A week later, following an open
house about the changes by BC Tran-
sit, she has come on board. “I’ve come
to a decision and I think its going to
work,” she said at the open house.
The open house provided one last
chance for residents to comment on
the proposed changes to the routes.
When the Times Review stopped by,
the majority were in favour.
Under the changes a second bus
would be added, schedules modifi ed,
some bus stops moved around and
other added; and, most signifi cantly,
the route through the Big Eddy and
Columbia Park would be divided into
two trips, instead of one lengthy one
like it is now.
Johanson, 83. said the key for her
was to still be able to make it down-
town from her home in Mt. Begbie
Manor in Southside to take part in
activities like bingo and bowling. She
takes the bus almost every day of the
week.
She also liked the sound of the new
buses, which would have ramps and be
able to lower down to sidewalk level
to make them easier to get on.
“I’m satisifed as long as we don’t
lose our bus,” she said.
There were some suggestions made
at the open house, such as keeping the
after-school pick-up time at Arrow
Heights Elementary to 2:45 p.m.,
instead of changing it to 3 p.m.
Another suggestion advised extend-
ing hours past 5 p.m. so offi ce workers
could commute home after work.
Another person recommended pro-
viding evening bus service so people
could take the bus to events at night
like the summer music series in Griz-
zly Plaza.

Judge rebukes mandatory minimum sentence in drunk driving case
He tried to avoid it, but Judge
Mayland Mckimm handed
Susan Hawkings $1,500 in fi nes
after she plead guilty to driv-
ing while prohibited and driv-
ing over the legal blood-alco-
hol limit in Revelstoke court
last Wednesday.
McKimm wanted to give
out a one-day jail sentence to
Hawkings, who said she lacked
consistent employment and was
still trying to raise money for a
lawyer when she withdrew her
not-guilty plea and admitted
her wrong doing.
“Minimum penalties in
cases like yours are particularly
harsh,” McKimm said in sen-
tencing, noting that for some-
one making good money, the
fi ne was easily payable, but for
Hawkings it was not.
However, the law meant he
had to issue the fi nes,
Hawkings plead guilty after
she was caught driving a stolen
vehicle drunk on Dec. 13, 2011.
She delivered breath samples
of 0.17 and 0.18 – more than
double the legal blood-alcohol
limit.
She was handed $1,500 in
fi nes, 12 months probation, a
one year driving prohibition,
and ordered to attend counsel-
ling.

PLANNING
A vision that has been in the works
for several years is expected to become
reality in 2013 when a new Revelstoke
Visitor Information Centre opens on
Victoria Road next to Pharmasave, the
Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce
announced in a letter to members last
Tuesday, Oct. 2.
The City of Revelstoke, Commu-
nity Futures Revelstoke, Revelstoke
Chamber of Commerce and the Rev-
elstoke Land and Development Com-
pany announced the organizations were
partnering to build a new $1,179,000,
two-storey building that would house
the Revelstoke Visitor Information
Centre (VIC) on the ground fl oor and
the offi ces of the chamber, community
futures, and community economic
development upstairs.
"Having a new full-time VIC will
make it much easier for the chamber
to deliver tourism information ser-
vices in an effi cient manner," stated
Judy Goodman, Executive Director of
the Chamber of Commerce. "We are
very pleased with the design and lay-
out of the new VIC, and think it will
be very well received by the growing
number of visitors coming to experi-
ence Revelstoke."
Currently Revelstoke's economic
group is located on Campbell Ave-
nue, with a small visitor centre down-
stairs. In past years, the chamber has
operated a second visitor centre in the
Canadian Avalanche Centre's build-
ing on Grizzly Plaza, and this summer
it switched to a new location a block
away at Victoria Road and Orton Ave-
nue.
A new building that would house
all these elements has been in the
planning stages for a number of years.
There was an ongoing debate about
where the visitor centre should be
located – on the highway, on the city-
owned parking lot next to Grizzly
Plaza or at the chosen location on the
vacant lot next to Pharmasave, which
is owned by the Land & Development
Company.
Alan Mason, the city's director of
economic development, said the loca-
tion was chosen after extensive con-
sultation. It was chosen over Griz-
zly Plaza out of concerns that a large
building there would have a negative
impact on the character of the plaza,
lead to a loss of parking, and hurt
downtown businesses, including the
Farmers Market. He said the chosen
site would improve an otherwise ugly
and empty lot on Victoria Road.
The new building will provide a
permanent home to the visitor infor-
mation centre and house all the eco-
nomic development agencies in one
location, wrote the chamber in its let-
ter. "Co-locating the economic devel-
opment services also provides a 'one-
stop shop' for people looking for busi-
ness information, and allows these
services to be delivered very effec-
tively," the letter states.
Planning for the new building will
begin this fall, with an expected open-
ing of the VIC sometime next sum-
mer.
Each partner is contributing an
equal amount to its construction, with
the city's portion coming from Tourism
Infrastructure Funds. The Columbia
Basin Trust contributed $200,000 to
the project and the Economic Oppor-
tunity Fund another $100,000. The
cost breakdown will be as follows:
City of Revelstoke (Tourism Infra-•
structure Funds): $500,000
Community Futures Revelstoke: •
$300,000
Revelstoke Chamber of Com-•
merce: $129,000
Grant funding: $300,000•
The land will be purchased from
the Revelstoke Land and Develop-
ment Company, who will design and
construct the building and maintain
ownership of half the building, said
Mason.
The new visitor centre will be built
using local wood products, which
Mason said would highlight the abil-
ities of the local forest industry.
Darryl Willoughby, Manager of
Community Futures Revelstoke said
he was pleased to be part of the new
building.
“Community Futures is very
pleased to be part of this initiative that
continues the economic development
partnership that has served this com-
munity well for the past 25 years,” he
said. “We look forward to working
collaboratively with our partners in
the new facility to improve our local
economy”.

When Steven Hui was a kid
growing up in Surrey in the 1960s,
his parents ran a family nursery
business. One of their customers
was a woman named Mrs. Moody,
who would come by on holidays
and bring candy for the kids.This
happened for several years and
Hui’s parents would tell her she
didn’t need to come bearing candy.
I don’t buy them, Mrs. Moody
replied, my son owns a drug store
in Revelstoke.
“Of course I didn’t think of
being a pharmacist at that point
but roll it forward 20 odd years, I
graduated, was working in Prince
Rupert and got a phone call from
Mr. Moody – Murt Moody,” said
Hui. “He said that he had a vacancy
– the pharmacist had left his busi-
ness. It was 1984 and I moved to
Revelstoke.”
Three years later in October
1987, Hui wound up taking over
the business from the Moodys
– Murt and his wife Tak – and now,
25 years later, he is celebrating with
a series of sales at his store, Phar-
masave.
Hui’s career in Revelstoke is
a defi nite success story. He has
expanded what was once a small
drug store three-fold and made a
signifi cant impact in town both as a
businessman and as an active mem-
ber of numerous community orga-
nizations. He’s been named the
Chamber of Commerce’s Business-
person of the Year several times and
was once the Lions Club’s Citizen
of the Year.
When Hui moved to Revelstoke,
it was to work as the pharmacist
at Donaldson’s Drugs on Macken-
zie Avenue. Buying the business
was not in his mind at the time. In
fact, he said he thought of the move
from Prince Rupert as a way of get-
ting closer to the Vancouver area
and eventually moving back to the
Lower Mainland. “I thought maybe
I’d get back home but I think I
found my home,” he told me.
In 1987, when the Moodys
retired, Hui purchased the busi-
ness from them. He had no busi-
ness experience himself, but he had
his parents, grandfather and the
Moodys to lean on for advice and
he had a good idea of the commit-
ment involved. “One of the things
that worked to my use was my
naivety,” he said. “When you don’t
know what to expect you think,
‘Well, sure I’ll buy a business.’”
A year later he bought in as part
of the Pharmasave group – then a
co-operative buying group where
all the individual store owners
shared ownership of the company
and benefi ted from the wholesale
buying power and business exper-
tise of the corporation. He said he
wanted a recognizable name for his
franchise that would still allow him
some control and autonomy over
the store.
“They brought a lot of expertise
to the table and lots of programs
you could use to help build your
business,” he said.
Over the years Pharmasave kept
expanding but the space – located
where Talisman Fibre & Trading
and Revelstoke Florist are today
– restricted growth. When a new
product was added, an existing one
had to be taken out of stock, and the
dispensary area was overcrowded.
As a result, the store moved to its
current location on Victoria Road in
2002, tripling its fl oor space, dou-
bling its staff and vastly expand-
ing the product line. The cosmetic
department expanded, as did the
baby department. There was more
space for stationary and the dispen-
sary grew too. More recently, the
stationary department was moved
into its own store, Your Offi ce &
Art Centre on First Street, and the
photo lab was expanded.
There has also been changes in
what the store carries. Notably, the
demographics have changed, with
some families moving away and
being replaced by younger adults.
Winter is now much busier. The
infl ux of skiers, mountain bikers
and other outdoor adventure afi -
cionados has meant carrying a lot
more muscle rubs, anti-infl amma-
tories and braces.
Pharmasave also sells more
snack food – and not just junk food,
but healthy snacks, energy bars and
rehydration fl uids. “They’re sophis-
ticated. they’re looking for the more
expensive, the good stuff,” Hui said.
Hui is known in town not only
for his business acumen, but also for
his volunteerism and dedication to
community life. The list of groups
he has worked with is lengthy: the
Kinsmen, Chamber of Commerce,
Rotary, Community Foundation,
District Health Foundation, the
Association for Community Liv-
ing, and several City of Revelstoke
committees. He has served as head
of most of those groups at some
point, including four years as Presi-
dent of the chamber.
His community work started
early after arriving here. Encour-
aged by the Moodys, he joined the
Kinsmen. “It really opened my eyes
to what volunteerism meant in a
small community,” he said. “When
something had to be done, every-
body came forward and pitched in.
It was really a lot of fun.
Later, he would join groups that
would pique his interest, such as
working with the mentally chal-
lenged as president of the Revel-
stoke Association for Community
Living.
“All very gratifying, I enjoyed
immensely all of them,” he said.
What’s next for Hui? At 52, he
said he’s too young to retire. He
has one daughter in university and
another a year away. “I think I have
to keep working a little bit to keep
them in school.”
One of his goals for the future
is to mentor youth in town who are
interested in philanthropy and get
them active and involved. He also
wants to continue to build up the
Community Foundation to make
Revelstoke more resilient going
forward. “If you can build within
the community sustainability and
have strength in the community
then you don’t have to rely on out-
side,” he said.
He also wants to promote entre-
preneurship and help people there.
“I sometimes see people who strug-
gle to reach their potential. Some-
times you have to chat with them,
give them an opportunity, encour-
age them,” he said. “Sometimes
you have to take them by the hand
and guide them but I think the town
really relies on youth. I’m sort of on
the downhill side of my career and
I’m hoping young people, business
people, other leaders come forward
and carry on in the future.”
I asked Hui if he’d ever consid-
ered running for council. During
the 2011 municipal elections his
name came up amongst my friends
so I had to put the question to him.
He replied: “There may be a day
but I’m still enjoying the business. I
like to spend a little bit of free time
at home with my family and what-
ever time left I have I do a little vol-
unteering as well. I think I’d have
to give up something fairly big to
jump into that position. It’s a com-
mitment and if I’m going to do it,
I’m going to have to give it my all
or its not the way I want to do it. I
don’t want to say not ever, but not
in the short term.”
Afterwards he gave thanks to the
community of Revelstoke and all
the people he worked with.
“It’s been great personally, for
my business and for my family,” he
said. “I don’t think I could raise a
family the way I do in Revelstoke
anywhere else.
“It’s a great, great place.”

Glacier Park Lodge in Rogers Pass closes its doors
The Glacier Park Lodge in
Rogers Pass closed its doors after
Parks Canada chose to end its
lease agreement with the opera-
tors.
The 44-year-old hotel closed
its doors at the end of September
with little in the way of announce-
ment or fanfare. There is no indi-
cation on the hotel’s website
that it is closed and no one was
answering the phone at the hotel.
Jacolyn Daniluck, the spokes-
person for Parks Canada said the
lease was terminated because the
operators, Glacier Park Lodge
Ltd., did not meet the terms and
conditions of the lease. Parks
would not provide details, say-
ing the conditions of the lease are
confi dential.
The lodge opened in the
1960s as the Northlander, with
a 42-year-old lease that expired
in 2010. Since then it has been
extended on a month-to-month
basis with the expectation the les-
see would use this period to meet
its lease condition, said Daniluck
in an e-mail response to ques-
tions.
“This did not happen and Parks
Canada will not renew the lease,”
she wrote.
The hotel had mixed reviews
online, with a 2.5 star rating on
the website tripadvisor.ca. It was
popular with backcountry skiers
and hikers looking for a cheap
place to stay right in Rogers Pass
but others criticized it for being
dated and dirty.
The future of the hotel is
unclear. “Parks Canada will be
taking the time to consider future

options for the property and will initi-
ate the proper public process for any
future initiatives,” said Daniluck.
Malcolm Campbell, the manager
of the lodge, refused to talk about the
closure, saying he was in the midst of
negotiations. He hung up the phone
before the Times Review had the
chance to ask further questions.
The closure came as a surprise to
Graham Harper, the organizer of the
annual Rotary youth exchange at the
lodge. He said he had booked out the
whole hotel for a weekend of activi-
ties in February and had received no
notice of its closure.
The annual Canuck Splitfest, which
has taken place at the lodge the past
two years, switched its home base to
the Hillcrest Hotel in Revelstoke for
its 2013 event.
Daniluck said Parks Canada will
provide visitors to Glacier National
Park with information about other
accommodation nearby.
Meat recall hits local stores
Nearly four dozen beef products
sold at Cooper’s Foods have been
recalled due to an outbreak of E. coli
at an XL Foods meat processing plant
in Brooks, Alta..
According to a list posted by Over-
waitea Food Group on its website on
Sept. 28, 45 beef products, most of
which are steaks, were removed from
the shelves of Overwaitea stores,
which includes Cooper’s Foods in
Revelstoke. The complete list can be
found here: www.owfg.com/sites/
default/fi les/september_28_xl_prod-
uct_fi nal.pdf
Ben Harrack, the manager of the
Revelstoke store directed questions
to the head offi ce, who did not return
a phone call requesting an interview.
Overwaitea posted the following state-
ment on its website.
“Though we do not buy ground
beef from XL Foods and have not
for quite some time, our third party
beef supplier does procure certain
beef products from XL Foods that are
now affected by the CFIA’s expanded
recall. We are very proud of the facil-
ity we work with and the processes
they have in place to provide us with
a very high standard of food safety
which includes extra steps that make
the risk of this kind of contamination
extremely low for us. However, as a
precautionary measure, we have vol-
untarily initiated a recall of all poten-
tially impacted products and we’ll be
replacing removed product with unaf-
fected supply over the next few days.”
Ray Cooper at Ray’s Butcher Shop
said he received a recall list, but none
of his products were affected.
“Almost all of my beef comes
from there but no products have been
recalled,” he said on Friday, adding
he would continue to check to his fax
machine for updates.
At Southside Grocery, the meat
manager said they they do not get any
meat from XL Foods so they have not
been affected by the recall.
A full list of all recalled products
can be found on the Canadian Food
Inspection Agency website, www.
inspection.gc.ca.
There have been 10 confi rmed
cases of E. coli after the consumption
of tainted meat in Alberta, and four are
under investigation. None have been
reported in B.C.
XL Foods is one of the largest beef
processing plants in Canada and is
based out of Brooks, Alta. Its license
was suspended by the CFIA on Sept.
27. Contaminated meat was origi-
nally discovered in a shipment at the
U.S. border in Sweetgrass, Mont., on
Aug. 30. That beef tested positive for
E. coli three days later and the Amer-
ican inspectors for the Food Safety
and Inspection Service reported it to
their Canadian counterparts. Beef at
a processing facility being inspected
by CFIA in Calgary tested positive on
Sept. 4.

CSRD to build yard waste compost facility in Revelstoke
The Columbia Shuswap Regional
District is looking to build a compost-
ing facility that would process all the
yard and garden waste it collects from
the community.
The Electoral Area Directors (EAD)
Committee approved $300,000 in
funding from gas tax monies to build
facilities in Revelstoke and Golden at
its meeting last Thursday.
According to Ben Van Nostrand,
the CSRD’s waste management coor-
dinator, the CSRD landfi lls manage
about 3,000 tonnes of yard and garden
debris annually. It is currently chipped
and used as road fi ll around the site.
The new facility would be located
at the current landfi ll site and “will
allow us to create a compost that we
can distribute back to the public,” he
said.
A similar composting facility in
Salmon Arm was just built and will be
going into operation soon.
According to CSRD staff, the facil-
ity will help remove organic waste
from the landfi ll, thereby extending its
life.
Does this mean food waste com-
posting is in the cards? Van Nostrand
said that was part of the long term plan
of the CSRD but the proposed facili-
ties would be built to process yard and
garden waste only.
“I think that is the next phase of
our plan now that we have curbside
recycling in place and yard and gar-
den composting coming online,” he
said. “Food waste would be the next
big one.”
The EAD voted in favour of the
expenditure but asked that staff con-
tact the municipalities to see if they
could support the project fi nancially.

Megan Evans and Tayla Koerber gave
it their best, but the Revelstoke Secondary
School runners could not overcome the
fast Sim sisters of Salmon Arm in a cross-
country running race on the Illecillewaet
Greenbelt last Wednesday.
Glynnis Sim of Salmon Arm Second-
ary won the four-kilometre girls race in a
time of 15:05, with her sister Emmy eight
seconds behind.
Evans was third in a time of 15:40 and
Koerber fourth in 16:34. Maxine Opatril
of RSS also cracked the top 10 with a
time of 17:25.
On the boys side, Thomas Hardy
of Salmon Arm was the winner of the
5.8-kilometre race with a time of 20:34,
beating out runner up Mack Moody of
Pleasant Valley Secondary School by one
minute. Gordon Mason was the top local,
fi nishing 10th overall and seventh in his
age group.
The race was held on the greenbelt and
took advantage of the new Mark Kings-
bury Bridge. Starting at Kovach Park, the
runners took off towards the Illecillewaet
Bridge before looping back and cross-
ing the new pedestrian Bridge. They did a
loop on the south side of the Illecillewaet
before crossing back to the fi nish line.
In team results, Salmon Arm cleaned
up, taking the junior boys, and senior
boys and girls categories. RSS was sec-
ond in the senior girls and third in senior
boys. Seven schools took part in the race.

File Formats & Abbreviations: What do they really mean?
Choosing the right fi le format to save your images is important. Are you printing or saving your images to the web? When choosing the format for your image, you should always be conscious of both the image’s quality and fi le size.
First up to bat is the RAW fi le. Think of a RAW fi le as a negative in fi lm photography. It is not directly usable as an image, but has all the information needed to create one. The purpose of shooting in RAW format is to save an image with minimum loss of information.
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group pronounced Jay-peg. It is a standard method of compressing photographic images with scanners, digital cameras and the web. The jpeg image format has become the most widely used digital image format.
PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics. It is an image format similar to the GIF format. PNG format fi les are a good choice for storing line art drawings, text and graphics at a small fi le size.
TIFF stands for Tagged Image File Format and is another format for storing images, popular among graphic artists. Adobe Photoshop users commonly use TIFF fi les for high colour depth and large fi le size. A TIFF fi le may be edited and re-saved without losing image quality.
PSD stands for Photoshop Document. A PSD fi le stores an image with support for most image formats. Think of a sandwich when you build it - you will start by making a layer of bread and start working your way up - same with a Photoshop fi le. When you create it in layers and fi nish your sandwich with the top slice of bread, you then place your hand on top of the sandwich and press down on it to fl atten. In
Photoshop the same occurs that is when you fi nish your fi le and compose all your layers into a fi nal fi le.
GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. This is the other format used for images destined to be displayed on the web. It’s a good way to place images that have only a few colours. This fi le format is starting to be replaced by the PNG fi le.
PDF stands for Portable Document File. Created by Adobe, the PDF fi le is a standard format for capturing and reviewing information for almost any application on any computer and sharing it with anyone. Visit Pharmasave for more information and feel free to ask us any questions regarding fi le formats or anything related to digital photography.
Revelstoke Pharmasave is open 7 days a week for all your well-being needs. Open Sundays 11-5.

Revelstoke’s Dominic Unterberger has been named to the B.C. Alpine Ski Team. “It’s pretty exciting for the club and we are so happy he did that,” said Ned Lazarevic, the head coach of the Revelstoke Ski Club. “He’s a very good athlete and he’s dedicated and really hard working. At the end of a day it’s a pay off of all his hard work.” Unterberger had a strong season last year, placing high in many races, including a bronze medal at a giant slalom race in Lake Louise. He is also a strong mountain biker, having won the local cross-country race series this summer. File Photo

Revelstokians suffer way to the top in Kaslo
Madeleine Martin-Preney was the winner of the
fi rst ever 200-kilometre-long Loonie-Toonie race at
the Kaslo Sufferfest last weekend – the top result
amongst an impressive turnout by Revelstokians at
the two days of endurance races.
The Kaslo Sufferfest included running races of
10, 25 and 50 kilometres; mountain bike races of 14,
45 and 100 kilometres, a 1,300 vertical metre down-
hill enduro race dubbed the Monster; and kids bik-

Here are the top performances by Revelstokians:
The Loonie Toonie was a three day, 200 kilome-
tre trail run with about 10,000 metres of elevation
gain through the Selkirk Mountains between Kaslo
and New Denver. Martin-Preney fi nished in a time
of 31:58:43 to win the race by more than four hours
over runner-up Margaret Li of Calgary.
In the 10 kilometre run, Elizabeth Elliott, Beth
Granstrom, and Josi Koerber swept the podium in
the 11-13 age category. Eric Brosch (11-13), Nelson
Luxmoore (11-13) and Brittany Evans (17-19) also
had podium fi nishes.
Tayla Koerber won the 25 kilometre run in the
under-30 women’s catergory. Sarah Newton, who
competed in the 100 kilometre bike race on Sat-
urday, won the 50 kilometre run in her 40-49 age
group on Sunday.
In the kids bike race, Elizabeth Elliott fi nished
fi rst in her 11-13 age group, while Beth Granstrom
was runner up and her sister Kate fi nished fourth.
Rebecca Brosch was third in the 9-10 age group and
Alexandra Luxmoore won the 7-8 age group.
In the 14 kilometre bike race, Beverley Brosch of
Revelstoke was the top woman, followed by Kevan
McCroy. Nelson Luxmoore was second in the 11-13
age group and Tayla Koerber topped the 14-16
group.
In the gruelling 100 kilometre mountain bike race
from New Denver to Kaslo, David Sinclair of Rev-
elstoke topped his 20-29 age category and fi nished
15th overall. Rory Luxmoore was the top Revel-
stokian, fi nishing in 14th spot.
In the Monster Enduro, Don Robertson fi nished
in fi fth spot, and fi rst amongst 40-49-year-olds.
Note all results were unoffi cial as of press time.

Revelstoke Grizzlies’ goaltender Aaron Brandoli stops the Sicamous’ Eagles leading scorer Connor Buick on a breakaway in Saturday’s 2-1 loss to the Eagles.Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review
Grizzlies drop both games on weekend
After a weekend in which the
Revelstoke Grizzlies lost both
its games, you might think coach
Kevin Kraus would have some
harsh words for his players in a
closed locker room.
Instead, it was just the oppo-
site. “I thought that was one of our
most complete games we played all
year,” he said following a 2-1 loss
to the Sicamous Eagles at home
on Saturday night. “The bounces
weren’t on our side tonight.”
The Grizzlies started their
weekend with a 6-2 loss to the
North Okanagan Knights in Arm-
strong. What started out as a prom-
ising game for the Grizzlies – they
held leads twice in the fi rst period
thanks to goals from Devon Has-
carl and Brayden Beckley – turned
into a rout when the Knights scored
three goals in the second period.
That, combined with a 49-save
performance by Knights’ goalten-
der Dustin Nikkel lead to the loss.
“Every chance they got to score
they put in the back of our net,”
said Kraus. “A couple bad bounces
went their way. They capitalized
on them and we didn’t capitalize
on our chances.”
On Saturday the Grizzlies took
on the Eagles for the third time
this season (fi fth time if you count
the pre-season). The teams traded
goals in the fi rst period, with
Dylan Ossman scoring for Revel-
stoke and Nicholas Astasiewicz for
Sicamous.
After that, it was a goaltending
battle. Revelstoke’s Aaron Bran-
doli stopped 29 of 30 shots in the
fi nal two periods, beat only by
a defl ection by Brendan Devr-
ies in the third. He was outdone
by his counterpart Jack Surgenor,
who turned away all 35 Revelstoke
shots to give Sicamous a 2-1 win.
The losses dropped the Griz-
zlies to third place in the compet-
itive Doug Birks division. This
weekend they play a home-and-
home series against the Chase
Heat before heading to Sicamous
on Sunday. The Saturday game is
at home at 7 p.m. All three games
are expected to be battles. “I think
our division from fi rst to fi fth is
pretty damn good,” said Kraus.

Smoke alarms save lives
Only a working smoke alarm can save your life!FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCT. 7-14
Many fatal fi res start at night
As most Canadians turn back the clocks on November 4, here are some timely smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) safety tips:• When you change your clocks, test your smoke arlam.• You have less than three minutes to escape a fi re. So when smoke alarms sound, everyone must know what to do and where to go. Having and practising an escape plan is es-sential.• Install one smoke alarm on every storey and outside bedrooms. Install inside bed-rooms if you sleep with doors closed. • Ensure all smoke alarms are fully powered. Never take out batteries or remove an alarm from ceiling due to a false alarm.• If your home has any fuel-burning devices such as a gas furnace, gas water heater, gas appliances, or an attached garage or carport, install at least one CSA-approved carbon monoxide outside all sleeping areas. One per storey is recommended.• Replace smoke alarms every 10 years, and CO alarms every 7-10 years (depending on manufacturer)
whether battery operated or hard-wired into your home’s electrical system.Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and tasteless. So without a CO alarm, humans cannot detect its presence. Despite the average
home having several poten-tial sources of the deadly
gas, studies show that nearly 60 per cent
of Canadians have not installed a CO alarm. In addition to being impos-sible to detect, CO also has another nefarious trait.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide
exposure mimic the fl u, without the fever.
It is routinely respon-sible for thousands of clinic
and hospital visits each year, and is commonly misdiagnosed. Prolonged or extreme exposure causes nau-sea, dizziness, confusion, the loss of physical mobility, brain damage and ultimately, death.
More home safety resources can be found on the www.safeathome.ca web site.
Investigations into home fi re deaths very often fi nd that a smoke alarm did not sound. It may have been disconnected or not in working order. The batter-ies may have been dead, or someone may have taken them out. Smoke alone won’t nec-essarily wake you up. In fact, the fumes could put you into an even deeper sleep. Often, victims never wake up. Se-
niors will often need assistance from family mem-bers to put safety measures into place. As well, family members are in the best position to rein-force the precau-tions necessary to help their loved ones prevent or respond to a fi re. Focus on these six priorities to help
aging family members pro-tect themselves against fi re in the home.
■ INSTALL smoke alarms inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.■ Larger homes may need ADDITIONAL smoke alarms to provide enough protection.■ For the best protection, INTERCONNECT all smoke alarms so when one sounds they all sound.■ An IONIZATION smoke alarm is generally more responsive to fl aming fi res and a PHOTOELECTRIC smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fi res. For the best protection, both types of alarms or combination ionization and photoelectric alarms (also known as dual sensor alarms) are recommended.■ Smoke alarms should be INSTALLED away from the kitchen to prevent false alarms. Generally, they should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a cooking appliance.■ REPLACE all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.
“Fall back” to smart home safety
Analysis was undertaken on almost 50,000 fi res that occurred in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario over a 5-year period involving 663 fatalities. The fi ndings demonstrated that the death rate per 1,000 fi res in the absence of a present, functioning smoke alarm was 74% greater than when a functioning smoke alarm was present.
In case of fi re - GET OUT AND STAY OUT – never go back into a burning building• Crawl low near the fl oor to the nearest exit maintaining contact with the wall.• Test the door by feeling it with the back of your hand. If it is hot, do not open. Use analternative route.• If the door and knob are cool, stay low with your shoulder against the door while opening slowly. Be ready to close the door if smoke and heat rush in.
• If trapped, put as many closed doors as possible between you and the fi re, and seal all cracks in doors and windows with towels or bed-ding.• If your clothing catches fi re, stop where you are, drop gently to the ground and cover your face with your hands while rolling back-and-forth to put out the fl ames.• Cool minor burns with cold water.

TIMESReviewR E V E L S T O K E
Hey chief! What does it take to be a Revelstoke firefighter?
“What it takes?”
I am asked by many people
interested in becoming a fi refi ghter,
“Chief…what does it take to be a
fi refi ghter?” It’s a very good ques-
tion!
Its tough today to recruit and
retain volunteers in any organi-
zation, just ask the many service
clubs in Revelstoke. The same can
be said about fi re departments. In
fact, it is a concern in the fi re ser-
vice across B.C. Having said that,
let me tell you what it takes and
why it is so rewarding to be a vol-
unteer fi refi ghter.
Revelstoke Fire Rescue Services
is rich in history. We celebrate this
every day on our trucks by proudly
displaying “Serving with Pride
Since 1892” or by our retired fi re-
fi ghters who proudly display on their
vehicles fi re plates that read ”Rev-
elstoke Fire Dept – Retired”. We
cannot thank those individuals
enough who served this department
for generations upon generations,
which made our department what it
is today. So what does all that mean
for someone looking to become a
fi refi ghter? Well, it means you get
to become part of that rich history,
make a difference and join the fi re-
fi ghter family, which is something
you can be very proud of.
Another question I get is,
”Chief, I’m busy as it is in my life,
how much time is needed?” Good
question! We train 1.5 hours every
Wednesday – that’s it! As a new
recruit, the fi rst four to fi ve months
is spent completing the JIBC Basic
Firefi ghter Program. As far as calls
go, depending on the month, we
do a general page for all members
anywhere from 7 to 15 emergency
calls. It’s not all training and calls
though, we also have a very strong
family social aspect to the fi re
department.
“Chief, what will I be doing as a
fi refi ghter?” As a member of Revel-
stoke Fire Rescue, you will be par-
ticipating in every aspect of fi re-
fi ghting. That means you may drive
a fi re truck to the scene, pump
that engine, be on an interior fi re
attack or rescue team, exterior fi re
attack, be a ventilation team, be 100
feet in the air on the aerial platform
truck, assist on a fi rst responder call
or help rescue someone from their
vehicle using the Jaws of Life. The
list goes on and on. Its not simply
rolling hose or washing trucks. In
Revelstoke, we all do everything.
“Chief, I understand the fi re-
fi ghting aspect, but I see the fi re-
fi ghters out in the community doing
various charity events – what is
that all about?” Firefi ghters raise
money for three charities: the BC
Burn Fund, Muscular Dystrophy
and Trees for Tots. Fundraising can
vary from boot drives, to tree chip-
ping, golf tournaments and the list
goes on and on. We also help the
food bank with the Holiday Train
when we serve hot dogs and hot
chocolate and the Emergency Ser-
vices food drive. All of our Fire-
fi ghters do some sort of community
service during the year not because
they have to, it’s because they want
to. It makes each of us feel like we
are giving back to the community
and it feels great.
“Chief, What about women?
Can a woman be a fi refi ghter?” You
bet! In fact we have several woman
in our department and they are
excellent, dedicated fi refi ght-
ers. This is an organization made
of men and women and ALL form
part of our fi refi ghter family.
“Chief, so I really like what
you had to say, what do I do next
to get the ball rolling?” Easy ques-
tion. Come down to the Fire Station
at 227 Fourth Street West, get an
application form, ask lots of ques-
tions, fi ll it out and get it back to
us before Nov. 2. In November, we
will be doing interviews and in Jan-
uary the new recruit class will start.
Its just that simple!
“So Chief, if you had to summa-
rize why I would want to become
a fi refi ghter at Revelstoke Fire Res-
cue Services, what would it be?”
Quite simply, it’s the personal sat-
isfaction of helping people in need
at the time of an emergency. It’s the
challenge and fun of learning and
training something new and excit-
ing.
It’s the joy of getting to know
and develop friendships with 41
men and women. Most of all, it’s
about becoming a member of the
largest family in Revelstoke – our
fi re fi ghter family.

Working smoke detectors save livesDuring Fire Prevention Week,
October 7 to 13, Columbia Shus-
wap Regional District Fire Ser-
vices Coordinator Kenn Mount
would like to remind people to
make sure their smoke detectors
are working.
“Most homes have smoke
detectors, but it’s surprising how
many people don’t remember to
test them regularly to make sure
they’re working. If they’re not
functioning, they’re not going
to do any good if there’s a fi re,”
says Mount. “The Canadian sta-
tistics show that without a work-
ing smoke alarm, your chances of
not surviving a fi re increases by
74 per cent.”
It is the fi rst line of defense,
but it’s just as important that all
members of the family know what
to do when the alarm goes off.
“It’s a good idea to have a fam-
ily escape plan in case of a fi re in
your home. Practice the plan and
make sure your children under-
stand what they should do if they
hear the warning sounds from the
smoke detector. The escape plan
should include a meeting point
outside the home.”
When you practice your safety
plan, make sure you practice
using an alternate way to get out
of the house in case one exist is
blocked.
“Fires can double every 30
seconds so it’s important that
everyone knows to stay low to
the ground and start working their
way toward one of your two ways
out. Practicing this as a family is
really important since everyone
will be better prepared to deal
with a fi re event at home.”
For more information about
making your home fi re-safe,
please visit the Fire Prevention
Canada website to fi nd fi re pre-
vention and safety tips and fun
short videos for children.

Wednesday, October 10The Revelstoke Times Review and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy are partnering on a great new event for Revelstoke.
Reach A Reader
On Wednesday, October 10, some of Revelstoke’s highest profi le people will be out onthe street with our newspaper asking for donations to help support literacy initiativesin our community. Along with your donation we will give you a copy of your communitynewspaper for FREE (plus there might be a few extra promos to go along with that).
Absolutely all funds raised from the day will go towards CBAL and all funds will stay inthe community in which they are raised to support literacy programs in our community.Help Promote Literacy and Lifelong Learning in our Community
Help Promote Literacy and Lifelong Learning in our Community
TIMESReviewR E V E L S T O K E
Every year throughout the Columbia Basin and Boundary regions, hundreds of our citizens work with literacy instructors and tutors to improve their reading, writing, math, English language and computer skills. These adults are seeking out CBAL (the Columbia Basin and Boundary not-for-profi t literacy organization) programs to improve their skills, knowledge and ability so they can participate more fully in their lives and communities. The program benefi ts and the learners' commitment are having a positive impact in towns and villages in our the regions.
"We work closely with libraries, schools, colleges, businesses, and other community partners to develop, promote and deliver adult literacy and learning services," said Ali Wassing, CBAL Executive Director. "The Canadian Council on Learning reported that 60% of Canadians do not have the necessary literacy skills to manage their health adequately. We know the health benefi ts individuals and communities gain when a commitment is made to life-long learning." The Adult Literacy and Life Skills international survey found approximately 40% of Canadians need greater knowledge and skills to effectively fi nd and use basic written information for daily work and living tasks.
"Research shows us the need for increased adult literacy," says Betty Knight, CBAL Regional Program Manager, East Kootenay. "We see the effects on individuals, families and communities, and are committed to
helping people change their lives through small group classes, one-to-one tutoring and services at our centres."
"Our learners gain much-needed skills in reading, writing and speaking English," said Linda Steward, Creston Community Literacy Coordinator. "They also fi nd friendship and emotional support to combat the isolation immigrants experience. It is so rewarding to see them start with little or no English and, within a few years, be working, joining community organizations, and settling into a happy full life in our valley."
Learners expressing their appreciation said:
"Your teacher is very good teacher. I learn lots how to speak, to write and to read English."
"The ESL class helps me to practice my English and my tutor helps me with many things in my life and I have the conversations with her."
Selkirk College works with CBAL and the Kootenay Family Place in Castlegar to bring high school upgrading courses to parents.
"This program is such a pleasure to be part of," said Allison Alder, Chair, School of Academic Upgrading and Development, Selkirk College. "While instructors help parents brush up on math, learn a new biology concept or polish their writing skills, they can relax knowingtheir children are cared for nearby. Bringing learning opportunities to people, where and when they are comfortable, is community learning at its fi nest."
“The program gave me an opportunity to complete my schooling by providing excellent childcare, career counseling and an awesome tutor. But most importantly, I received positive encouragement to follow through with my career plans,” said Charity Barbour, a past ABE program participant.
In Cranbrook, CBAL partners with College of the Rockies to offer the Young Parent Education Program. Young parents, who
face multiple barriers, can complete their high school education, and, focus on learning new life, work and parenting skills.
"Learners make new and sustaining friendships, support each other, and, with improved self-esteem are empowered to move on to vocational, academic or employment opportunities when they graduate," said Katherine Hough, Cranbrook Community Literacy Coordinator.
Literacy statistics affecting our communities:• 26 per cent of Canadians with the lowest literacy skill levels are unemployed. • 80 per cent of those with low literacy skills earn less than $27,000 a year. • 33 per cent of employers report challenges because some staff need better literacy skills.
On [Wednesday, October 10] support literacy in your community by taking part in Black Press and CBAL's Reach-A-Reader campaign. Buy your local newspaper from a volunteer who will be out in the town.
ALL proceeds raised will go to support literacy programs in your community. By learning together, we will grow strong together.

Thinking outside of the box is what sets you apart from most, Aries. When you are put to the test, you seldom fail to come through. This is a good selling point with potential employers.
Taurus, some people just don’t understand you, and that is OK with you. It can be good to be a bit mysterious, especially when it comes to romance.
Analyzing spending and other fi nancial concerns should be at the top of your priority list, Gemini. It is always a good idea to keep on top of where your money is going.
Cancer, communication is key if you want to make real progress. Actions can be misconstrued if you don’t accompany them with some thorough explanations.
Others could fi nd your enthusiasm infectious this week, Leo. Don’t be surprised if you have coworkers signing up to be on your team. At home you’re much more mellow.
Virgo, achieving your toughest goal won’t be easy. Those who survive the challenges become stronger overall. This week you are certainly put to the test.
Libra, big plans are in place, and you can be excited about the prospect for some change. Make a few adjustments each day and the transition will go smoothly.
Scorpio, don’t let others underestimate your abilities. Once you set your mind to something, it is very hard to direct you otherwise. Capitalize on your dedication at work.
Sagittarius, you are ready to pull out all of the stops in the romance department. Whether you’re single or attached, focus on ways to make your partner feel very special.
Capricorn, a few things have gone wrong lately, but the good thing is you haven’t let them get you down. Good things certainly come to those who are patient.
Aquarius, take inventory of your belongings and determine if there’s anything you can donate. You can clear out clutter and do something positive at the same time.
Pisces, things seem out of sorts, but you haven’t been able to fi gure out what is off-kilter. Leo may shed light on the situation.

He helped oversee the preparation
of the resort for winter operations over
the spring, summer and fall of 2007,
and the growth since then, including
the addition of the Ripper Chair in
2008 and Turtle Creek beginner area
in 2011.
“Rod’s been with the resort since its
early days and has seen it to what it
is today and we’re looking forward to
continuing that growth,” said Rennie.
Kessler cited the initial construction
of the resort, followed almost immedi-
ately afterward by the Great Recession
as the biggest challenges he faced, and
he credited Northland for stepping in
and rescuing the resort from fi nancial
ruin at the time.
“Instead of being in an offensive
position we were in an awkward defen-
sive position along with the rest of the
world,” he said.
Kessler’s resignation comes less
than two months before RMR was set
to open for the 2012-13 season. Ren-
nie said the search has started for a
replacement and that Steve Bailey
would continue to direct skiers ser-
vices and Mike Verwey mountain
operations as the resort prepares for
the upcoming winter.
“Any time you lose a senior member
of a team, its concerning.” said Ren-
nie. “There’s no good times, there’s no
bad time. It takes a huge effort at the
mountain to get things up and going
and that’s just continuing.
“They’re the two key people to
keep things running and we’re confi -
dent there’s going to be no disruptions
there,” he added.
Kessler said his time in Revelstoke
has been “overwheimingly positive”
and the thing he would miss most was
the people – both those he worked with
and lived with in the community. He
spoke of the previous weekend, where
he encountered a bear on his morning
run, before going for a night bike ride
with friends and then fl y fi shing in the
Akolkolex River the next morning.
“Most rewarding is the reality that
Revelstoke is in the eye of the world at
a larger scale within the ski community
than it ever has been, and that’s not to
underestimate the awareness that was
global prior to the resort,” he said.
He said the resort was poised for
double-digit growth in the next few
years and the community as a whole
should benefi t.
“There will not be any signifi cant
challenges fi lling my role,” he said.
“When you speak to the community
and the people and Canada and Cana-
dians and the politics in Canada, it’s an
overwhelmingly positive experience
for us.”
Kessler: No ‘signifi cant challenges fi lling my role’from page 3
Court challenge launched over Species at Risk inaction
Wildsight has announced it
will take the federal government
to court over its failure to meet its
legal obligations under the Spe-
cies at Risk Act.
“We strongly believe the gov-
ernment must act for species, and
believe that the court challenge is
the best means to get action as the
government’s failure is longstand-
ing,” said John Bergenske, exec-
utive director of Wildsight. “We
sincerely hope that this will spur
action.”
The lawsuit states that 188
recovery plans for species are
well overdue, and as many as 87
are more than fi ve years over their
due date.
“The Species at Risk Act
(SARA) requires that recov-
ery strategies for endangered
and threatened species be cre-
ated within certain timeframes, to
ensure timely action towards their
recovery,” Bergenske said.
Wildsight has partnered with
the Sierra Club BC, the David
Suzuki Foundation, Greenpeace
and the Wilderness Committee to
bring the issue to the courts. The
groups have selected four species
– Southern mountain caribou,
the Pacifi c humpback whale, the
Nechako sturgeon and marbled
murrelet – to base the lawsuit on.
Those species were selected due
to their potential endangerment
from the proposed Northern Gate-
way Pipeline.
“Southern mountain caribou
were chosen as it is one of the
key species at risk that the fed-
eral government has failed to
implement a recovery program
for,” Bergenske said. “The prov-
ince has taken its own actions, but
their program does not include all
the herds within the federal govt’s
Southern mountain caribou popu-
lations.”
Bergenske said recovery strat-
egies form a plan for a species at
risk that includes habitat protec-
tion and actions.
For the caribou, the species
has been on the list for a strategy
for over fi ve years, and Bergen-
ske said it’s been far too long for
action to go undone.
“The requirement for a recov-
ery strategy was a legislated
requirement and has been overdue
for over fi ve years,” he said.
The proposed Northern Gate-
way Pipeline would travel through
signifi cant wildlife habitat, and
its risks far out way its benefi ts
according to Wildsight.
“The Northern Gateway Pipe-
line could seriously impact habitat
critical for mountain caribou sur-
vival. Loss of habitat, particularly
fragmentation and road build-
ing that changes predator use and
pushes caribou into poorer habi-
tat threatens herds long term sur-
vival,” Bergenske said.
For Wildsight, the time is now
for these recovery strategies to be
conducted, and the group hopes
the lawsuit will encourage the
federal government to get on with
it.
“Environmental groups,
including Wildsight, have repeat-
edly requested action on species
at risk and the federal government
has refused to execute recovery
strategies – even several that we
are told by government staff are
completed and ready to be acted
upon,” Bergenske said. “It appears
the only way to get government to
obey its own laws is a legal chal-
lenge of their failure to act.”

Phyllis Jean StierMay 28, 1930 - Sept. 29, 2012
Early on September 29th our sweet mother, Phyllis Stier, died in Kamloops, B.C. with daughter-in-law Janet by her side. Members of the family had been with mom each moment for a week so, thankfully, we were all able to say good-bye.
Phyllis was born in Nelson, B.C. to Cyril and Clare Turner and was soon joined by her brother Frank. Mom met dad, Norbert Stier, on a blind date! After they were married in July 1950, mom was whisked from the lively little city of Nelson to Greeley (near Revelstoke). There her neighbours consisted of her in-laws Josef and Emilia Stier, some horses, cows, dogs and bears. When her rst two children were nearing school age, the family moved to Revelstoke, but the adventure didn’t end there. Dad’s love of rural life led them to a gas station in Malakwa where a series of disasters including a re took them back to Revelstoke. After dad retired, they were off again this time to New Denver, B.C. When this large property became too much, back to Revelstoke they went. When dad died, mom moved to Kamloops with son, Ron, and family and spent her nal days in Pine Grove seniors' facility. There she was very well taken care of and truly loved.
Although mom never rode a bicycle, had a driver’s licence or ew on a plane, she was famous. Famous for her love of children, her renowned pickles and baking, and, especially, her beautiful, original sweaters that adorn all members of her family. Mom volunteered in many capacities both in New Denver and Revelstoke.
Phyllis is survived by her children David (Dorothea), Julie (Steve Smith), Ron (Janet), Leanne (Shaun Thompson), her grandchildren: Joel, Jesslyn (Ajay), Cassandra, Leigha, Jeffrey and Brooklyn and great-granddaughters; Rebecca and Jaya.
We’ll always miss you, mom, and as long as we’re living, you will be too!

A rts &Entertainment
It’s a week before her fi rst
solo exhibition, My Revelstoke: Four Season’s Beauty, and
Chloe Kim’s home is fi lled with
artwork. She’s even taking up
space in her children’s playroom
– although that, in part, has to
do with convenience. The house
is quiet at the moment though,
as both of Kim’s children are
attending school this year.
The ability to focus on her
work in uninterrupted quiet is
something Kim has had to get
used to.
“It took time getting used to
the quiet,” Kim tells me. “It feels
like I can work more this year.”
In her studio, Kim points to
two winter scenes painted on
paper so delicate I’m reminded
of gently falling snowfl akes. In
completing the winter pieces,
Kim states she was inspired by
skiers, particularly heli-skiers.
The delicate swooping fi gures
painted in black ink are incorpo-
rated in her mountain scenery, in
some cases almost blending into
the landscape.
Kim describes the paper she
uses as “very sensitive, like rice
paper, only thinner.”
In fact, the paper is called
Jang-ji in Korean, and is made
from tree pulp. Trained in art
while she still lived in Seoul,
Kim’s technique comes from a
traditional form used in ancient
Korea.
Kim then shows me the
pieces she has painted of spring
and summer. Bold reds, pur-
ples, blues and greens proudly
stand out on the page. The can-
vas for these pieces is called
Han-ji and is comprised of lami-
nating three layers of thin paper.
This gives the canvas an added
strength, allowing Kim to add
more colour and for the pigment
to sink in more deeply.
She doesn’t restrict herself to
painting on the front of the can-
vas. In her studio she shows me
how, by painting rich pigments
on the back of the thin paper she
works on, the colour is able to
show through on the other side.
In the children’s playroom
Kim shows me the black ink she
uses in her work – she mixes a
bit of plain water in and grinds it
against the wood.
“Before I start to paint this
process calms me down and gets
me ready to paint,” she says.
I ask Kim if her artwork has
changed since moving to Can-
ada.
“Yes,” she tells me. “I can
feel it, I’m getting to use more
colours, because Revelstoke is
quite colourful in summer. But I
miss the way I used to use black
ink and thinner paper.”
My Revelstoke: Four Season’s Beauty runs from Oct. 12 - Nov. 2 in the main gallery of the Rev-elstoke Visual Arts Centre. There will be an exhibition opening Oct. 12 from 6-9 p.m. at the cen-tre.

First Bier & Musik Fest aims to be start of something big
The organizers of the fi rst annual
Bier & Musik Festival had lofty goals.
When the idea was conceived earlier
this year, there were thoughts of a big
fall festival, with lots of craft brewers
on hand and some big name headlin-
ers.
While that didn’t come together,
they’ve still put together a big day of
entertainment that they hope will lead
to something bigger in the future.
“This year will be a smaller version
so we can sit down and plan appropri-
ately for a larger version,” said Jean-
Marc Lafl amme, one of four organiz-
ers of the event.
Bier & Musik Fest will take over the
Powder Springs Hotel this Saturday,
Oct. 13, with events in McGregors,
the Last Drop and on the patio. Mount
Begbie will be the featured brewery
and Shane Philip and Vortex will head-
line the night’s festivities.
The festival is being organized by
Lafl amme, Joey Norsworthy, Randy
Jones and Scott Duke.
The idea is to tie it into Oktober-
fest and create a large festival that can
pump some tourist dollars into the
Revelstoke economy during the slow
shoulder season, Lafl amme said.
“Let’s get together and with 3-400
people and multiple brewers and some
fantastic music over the course of one
day in a very, very, needed month, in
October when things are especially
slow we get together and push some
money into the community,” said
Lafl amme about the idea behind the
event.
What’s on tap for the day? The
McGregor’s room will be turned into
a beer hall, where Mt.
Begbie will be serv-
ing up their assortment
of brews and DJs Ray
Ray and Marty Beats
will play music. On the
patio, local duo 45 Min-
utes will be playing dur-
ing the day.
At night, new local
band Classically Spun
will kick off the festiv-
ities. They will be fol-
lowed by Nelson’s Vor-
tex, an improvisational
electronic group that
blends old school funk,
disco, house and modern
electronic beats, using
both instruments and DJ
techniques.
Shane Philip, a Rev-
elstoke regular, is the
headliner. The one-man-
band plays drums, guitar,
didgeridoo and more to
create a rhythmic dance
beat.
Over the next year the
organizers plan to create
a bigger event that they
hope will turn into an
annual destination event.
This year will serve as a
warm-up.
“Everyone likes Okto-
berfest,” said Lafl amme.
“It’s a great time of
the year to try to inject
some money to kickstart
the winter season and it
really falls nicely with
beer and music in a mod-
ern way.”
Bier & Musik Fest is free from 12-8 p.m. After-wards, entry will be $20 if you buy your ticket in advance, or $25 at the door. For more informa-tion, visit www.beerand-music.ca.
