$1.25Grizzlies season starts - 17

Spirit of the West kicks off big season at Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre – 11, 14, 15

The TNT trail at Mount Macpher-son winds it way through century-old second growth forest that is easy to miss when your eyes are focused on the trail. It crosses logging roads that are groomed by the Revelstoke Nor-dic Ski Club for use as cross-country ski trails in the winter.

When you get to the top, you get a view of the surrounding area and you can make out the logging his-tory of the area. To the west, beneath the summit of Macpherson, stands of trees exists in various states of growth, the original trees having been har-vested decades ago.

When you look at the area on Google Earth, you can easily make

out the difference between the old growth forest and more recent planta-tions. The lower flank of the mountain has been a working forest for decades — work which allowed for the devel-opment over the years of the expan-sive cross-country and mountain bik-ing trail networks that exist there today.

The area of Macpherson west of Highway 23 is managed by BC Tim-ber Sales (BCTS), a government agency established in 2003 that man-ages 20 per cent of the province’s tim-ber sales in order to set market pricing for timber. BCTS manages the for-est and does the planning, and the cut blocks they put up for auction are har-vested by the winning bidder.

In 2004 the area at the south end of Macpherson where the Mickey Olson

Loop and Stimulus trails exist was logged. In 2008, the cut block around the Buff Enuff trail was harvested.

Now BCTS is planning to place another two cut blocks on the auc-tion block that will see some of that century-old forest cut down and sev-eral Nordic and mountain biking trails impacted.

The news doesn’t sit too well with local stakeholders.

“We have known all along it’s an active area and there will be logging. That doesn’t make it any easier or less frustrating when it actually hap-pens,” Keith McNab, the president of the Revelstoke Cycling Association (RCA), told me last week. “Our argu-ment is it has such high recreational values for the community that short term gain from logging isn’t neces-sarily a community good. The lon-ger term gains of leaving it an intact recreational area are maybe better for the local community than short term

gains from logging.”Plans presented to the Times

Review show that BCTS is develop-ing two cut blocks totalling 34 hect-ares. The larger block is located on the large knoll in the middle of the Main Loop Nordic skiing trail, where the TNT, Ridgewalk and Madmen’s Leap mountain biking trails are. The second, smaller block is next to the Nordic Lodge, where the cross coun-try skiing trails and Black Forest and Stimulus bike trails start.

The RCA discussed the logging plans at several recent board meet-ings. A note was posted to the club’s website and the Stoke List on Satur-day notifying the public of the plans. The posting included contact infor-mation for people to direct their feed-back.

“We’ve asked for a face-to-face meeting and more specifics,” said McNab. “If we can’t talk them out of logging at all, then what can they

do to reduce impacts on the trails and help us to re-establish them?”

The Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club was set to discuss the logging at their September executive meeting on Monday after press time. Jeff Fergu-son, the trails and grooming director for the Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club, said in an interview they hadn’t spo-ken to BCTS about the plans yet. “I don’t think that’s necessarily a com-plete negative for logging up there. It could allow more light into the trails.”

The big concern for the Nordic Club is the smaller cut block next to the ski lodge.”If they logged right up the west side of the lodge it will detract from the beauty of the lodge,” said Ferguson. “Hopefully they’ll leave a bit of a buffer there.”

30 years on the line

Revelstoke firefighter Dan Hutchison receives a Fire Services Exemplary Service medal and certificate from the Governor General of Canada for 30 years of loyal and exemplary service to public and security in Canada. Hutchison, an assistant chief and training officer with Revelstoke Fire Rescue Services was presented the award by fire chief Rob Girard during meeting night of Revelstoke’s firefighters. Girard expressed his gratitude for Hutchison’s many year’s of service to the community. Hutchison started with the Revelstoke fire department in 1984, became a career firefighter in 1995 and entered into his current position in 2010. When asked about his most memorable emergency or fire department moment, he replied: “It is very hard  to pick one or even two after so many years and so many calls. What inspires me after all these years  is the appreciative gestures from the citizens we serve and the individuals I work and train with. It is very rewarding when you respond to someone’s need and do your best and they are so gracious. In turn, I am so grateful to be able to continue in this career, hopefully with many more years.”   ~Contributed

The City of Revelstoke is offer-ing $500 rebates on a first come, first serve basis to approved wood stove exchange program partici-pants within the city in an effort to improve air quality by lower-ing smoke emissions.

The Wood Stove Exchange Program combines education and economic incentives to assist res-idents to operate their wood burn-ing appliances efficiently and to exchange older smoky wood stoves for low emission appli-ances. Funding is limited and the deadline for completed applica-tions is December 31 so act fast!

Mike Thomas, the Director of Engineering and Development Services commented on the pro-gram stating, “New technology appliances are proven to burn one-third less wood, reduce emis-sions by up to 70 per cent and sig-nificantly reduce risks of chimney fires. This program also supports local bylaws restricting the use of non-emission certified appli-ances.”

What qualifies?— Any wood burning appliance currently providing heat to a res-idential or commercial build-ing qualifies if it is not certified for efficiency and emission stan-dards.

— Typically inserts or stoves manufactured before 1994 are not efficiently certified. As well, most indoor wood burning furnaces and outdoor wood burning boilers do not meet standards. — A metal plate on the back of your unit will indicate the month and year of testing for EPA or CSA 415B standards.

What qualifies to replace? — An EPA certified wood stove, pellet stove, high efficiency gas stove/fireplace, or an electric space heater.— An EPA certified wood insert, pellet insert, high efficiency gas insert, or electric insert.— An EPA certified factory-built fireplace may only be accepted if

it is replacing a non-EPA certified wood stover of non-EPA certified wood insert (not an existing fac-tory built fireplace).

 What to do if you qualify:

— Residents can pick up instructions and a checklist pack-age from the Engineering and Development Services depart-ment upstairs at city hall;

— Take out a building permit, which is paid for by the City of Revelstoke;

— Contact the building inspec-tor to determine your eligibility.

For more information, please contact Engineering and Devel-opment Services at 250-837-3637.

ers with BCTS, in the Revelstoke for-estry office. They were eager to let me know what BTCS is and why they were logging in Macpherson.

On a small table in their office they laid out a large map of the Colum-bia Forest District where they are responsible for harvesting 300,000 cubic metres of timber in several For-est Development Units (FDU) in the region each year. The district includes the Revelstoke and Golden areas and encompasses the entire Big Bend country north to the Kinbasket Lake.

BCTS does the planning and man-agement of the area and when a cut block is set to be logged, they put it up to auction and the winning bidder harvests the block. The goal is to set a benchmark for pricing timber in the province.

The Macpherson demonstration forest is part of the Wetask Lake FDU, named for a small lake just off the Trans-Canada Highway west of Rev-elstoke. “We’ve operated in the demo forest since 2003. I think we’ve had quite a bit of success working with the bike club and cross-country club there,” Hunt said. “We’ve been able to, what I think is enhance the recre-ational opportunities there.”

Hunt and Mohr talked about the relationship between BCTS and the recreational clubs that use the area. Logging companies built and main-tain the roads, they noted. The log-ging done south of the Nordic Lodge opened up new trails for cross-country skiing, and opened up views across the valley. During some work, they built a concrete bridge over a fish-bearing stream so groomers could pass over it. When the Buff Enuff trail was logged, BCTS spent $10,000 rehabilitating it. Mohr, a former presi-dent of the RCA, believes the trail was improved following the logging.

The working forest model has worked well for Macpherson, they said, and has been beneficial for everyone.

“It’s part of our operating area. It’s not part of any reserve or park. It’s within the working forest. That’s why we’re in there,” said Mohr. “It’s part

of our operating area so we have to pull some timber out every now and then. We have a go-slow approach and what we feel is a very co-operative approach.”

Mohr said the plan is to clear cut the large block in the Main Loop/TNT area. The smaller block pres-ents several challenges and may not be logged, he added. Logging would be done in such a way to protect the mountain biking trails. He said they wouldn’t leave a buffer, because that can cause more problems when trees are blown down.

He said there is an estimated 8,000 cubic metres of timber in the planned cut blocks, which is worth about $320,000. The blocks are categorized as class 6 second growth, meaning the trees are 100–120 years old.

The logging that is being devel-oped is still in the early stages, and BCTS contacted the RCA and the Nordic Club in July to solicit early feedback. Last week, referrals were sent out to the City of Revelstoke and Columbia Shuswap Regional Dis-trict. Hunt said there are plans to bring stakeholders on a tour of the area to explain what would happen. Depend-ing on what emerges from there, fur-

ther public outreach could happen. No logging is planned until at least

2016. “We’ve got time on our side,” said Hunt. “There’s no rush here.”

***Political opinions for the future

of the Macpherson area vary. Mayor David Raven, the former manager of the Columbia Forest District, spoke in support of the working forest model that currently exists.

“It’s not a park. It’s a working for-est and lots of activities in there are the result of the logging activities that have gone on for the last 100 years over there,” he said. “As a working forest it’s a great model because you have all these other activities mixed in with it.”

He showed confidence in Rob Mohr to manage the area properly to respect all users.

“Does it have to exclude harvest-ing to have the other resources there?” Raven said. “I think that Macpherson in itself says no because they’ve all been getting along so far. As soon as one starts to excludes the other, then it becomes a problem.”

Loni Parker, the director for Area B Rural Revelstoke said she wasn’t in favour of logging there. “I really

hope that it’s looked at carefully,” she said. “I’m not against logging, I’m born and raised here, it’s part of our heritage, but clearly there’s a signifi-cant recreational economical impact that is associated with the Nordic ski area and the mountain bike area. It’s a world class area for recreation and I really think it behooves both the regional district and municipality to be emphatic about that and make sure that point gets put forward. We need to protect our tourism industry as well as our forest industry.”

When I spoke to Keith McNab, one thing he brought up was the pos-sibility of developing a land-use plan for Macpherson similar to what was put in place for the Begbie Bench area in 1993.

“Something along those lines may be worth pursuing, where say the regional district, the stakeholders, the licensees got together and laid out an overall plan for the area, rather than the logging companies just working independently of the rest of the com-munity,” he said.

The Begbie Bench plan set guide-lines for how logging would be con-ducted in the area, and how different user groups and stakeholders would

communicate. The plan was invali-dated by government legislation in 2007 and when Stella Jones logged the area in the winter of 2012/13, they didn’t adhere to the plan or notify any stakeholders other than the RCA — which didn’t exist when the plan was developed. Stella Jones didn’t have to, but a report by the Forest Practices Board released earlier this year said they should have.

The board was responding to a complaint put forward by Loni Parker, so I asked her what she thought of developing a land-use plan for Macpherson. She called it a “good idea” but said the ministry would have to be involved. “It certainly is a good idea to look at some of the more unique areas and look at their values and do another plan,” she said.

Parker said she was concerned local government wasn’t contacted as part of the first stage of referral. She first learned of the plans when the let-ter that was sent to the RCA was pre-sented at a meeting of the Economic Development Commission last week. A similar sentiment was shared by Judy Goodman, the executive direc-tor of the Chamber of Commerce. “The thing we said to them is this hap-pened with Begbie and we didn’t have enough consultation,” she said. “We said at the time we wanted referrals.”

Revelstoke Tourism recently con-ducted a survey of mountain bikers at Macpherson. The results are still pending.

Goodman hopes BCTS will re-consider their plans. “I think there’s lots of other areas that they can con-sider and I think they’ve taken that under advisement,” she said.

McNab said the RCA’s direct inter-est was in protecting the trails (log-ging impacted trails on Boulder Mountain this summer) but he also noted the issue of so much logging close to town.

“We’re looking across at more and more cut blocks. Boulder, the whole thing is going to be a cut block the way it’s going,” he said.

“There seems to be so much more logging here. I guess maybe we’ve been lucky. It seems to be hitting us constantly.”

Living in Canada, we don’t consider bugs as part of our daily diet but the United Nations reports that over 2 billion people worldwide supplement their diets with insects. Insects are actually quite nutritious being high in protein, fat and minerals. For example, caterpillars have more protein than beef. (Now if we can just get over the “ick” feeling of insect consumption...)

Sometimes visiting your doctor, you are given a lot of information and it can be hard to keep it all straight. At the end of the visit, try this: repeat back the main instructions your doctor has given you to ensure you got it right. It helps the doctor and it will certainly make things clearer for you. Your doctor won’t mind.

More women are having their first baby

later in life compared to their counterparts of a generation ago. There were nine times more first births to women over 35 than there were 40 years ago. On the plus side, these children seem to fare better due to better economic security. On the negative side, older women are at greater risk of having complications like diabetes and heart problems during

pregnancy.

Here’s another reason to stop smoking, especially if you are a parent. It seems that children of smoking parents are more likely to experiment with cigarettes and end up being heavy smokers themselves.

A Calgary man avoided jail time after pleading guilty to pos-session for the purposes of traf-ficking of almost six kilograms of marijuana in Revelstoke court last week.

Kelly P. O'Brien, 23, was handed a nine month conditional sentence, including a period of house arrest after being caught in a vehicle with 5,896 grams of marijuana and $2,380 in cash.

The sentence was a joint sub-mission by federal Crown coun-sel and O'Brien's defence law-

yer. Justice Mayland McKimm accepted the proposed sentence, and said it was a sign of society's changing attitudes on drugs.

"I would suggest if this had taken place three or four years ago, you'd be spending four or five years in a penitentiary," he said. "But, as I say, the world is quickly changing and the law has to adjust with that."

O'Brien was arrested on Jan. 29 when he was stopped on the Trans-Canada Highway while driving a Cadillac Escalade with tinted front windows. The arrest-ing officer could smell marijuana and a search of the car found one

duffel bag with 220 grams of marijuana and $2,380 cash, and a second bag with 5,676 grams of marijuana.

Prosecutor Nick Vlahos said that in light of the early guilty plea and O'Brien's lack of crim-inal record, that Crown was only asking for a nine month condi-tional sentence.

Chris Johnston, O'Brien's law-yer, said that the crime "was an opportunity thing" and noted his clients good grades in school, volunteerism and participation in organized sports.

"Mr. O'Brien thought it was a quick way to make some money

as a transporter, rather than actu-ally being involved in the busi-ness," said Johnston.

O'Brien apologized for his actions and said he was trying to put it behind him. "I want to apologize and from here on out I want to try and better myself," he said.

McKimm was skeptical that it was a one-time thing for O'Brien, noting the quantities of drugs and money were large. He also noted other cases where people were given discharges despite being caught with large quantities of pot.

"We're at a time in our evolu-

tion of our attitude towards drugs that it's becoming difficult to comprehend how those principals of sentencing ought to apply," said McKimm. "I am sending this man to live at home and work in the oil patch in Fort MacMurray to a highly paying job, which I assume is how this young man is able to buy a Cadillac Escalade, or how he was able to get $2,380 in cash, which most citizens don't carry around."

Despite that, he handed down a nine month conditional sen-tence, allowing O'Brien to travel to work in Fort MacMurray, but otherwise confined to his home.

Calgary man pleads guilty to trafficking marijuana

A judge had strong words for a Revelstoke man who pleaded guilty to assaulting his girlfriend in court last week.

Darcey J. Batycki was sen-tenced to one-year probation after pleading to guilty to beat-ing up his girlfriend while drunk on July 2.

"I'm going to go with the Crown's submission. I assumed the Crown would be asking for you to do six months in custody and I wasn't going to have a lot of difficulty with that, frankly," Justice Mayland McKimm told Batycki during sentencing. "The Crown is taking an enlightened view. I have a problem with peo-

ple who beat up their girlfriends."The incident took place on

July 2 when, according to Crown prosecutor Bill Hilderman, an argument erupted between Batycki and his girlfriend.

The argument escalated to the point where Batycki grabbed her by the throat and squeezed until she had trouble breathing. He threw her to the ground and when she tried to leave, he slapped her across the face twice.

He continued to yell at her and slammed her hand in a door as she tried to leave.

The victim escaped to the women's shelter and the assault was reported to the RCMP. The following day she asked to have the charges dropped, but the RCMP had already begun inves-

tigating. Batycki told the court he didn't

remember the incident. "Why did you think you could

do it?" McKimm asked him."I feel horrible about it,"

Batycki replied."I guess I'm more concerned

with where people get the atti-tude. They look in the mirror and say, 'I have a girlfriend and I get to punch them out,'" said McK-imm. "Do you see yourself like that?"

"I don't want to see myself like that," replied Batycki. "It's the stupidest thing I've done in my life."

McKimm noted the victim tried to have the charges dropped, and there was talk of having a no-contact order lifted as well. He

said the victim was caught in a cycle of violence.

"She wants to forgive you so she can get some more,” said McKimm. “She's now feeling remorseful and she's in a cycle of violence that you created."

He continued to lecture Batycki.

"This is an attitude ques-tion. It's more than just a crimi-nal question. You want to go at it with one of your buddies, they're as likely to punch you out as you are to punch him out. Society can put up with a little bit of that," said McKimm. "When you go after a female partner it's a differ-ent dynamic that's at work. She's involved psychologically, emo-tionally. She's in a relationship of dependence on you. There's so

many things going on, you need to start to understand fundamen-tally."

McKimm said he would have no problem sending Batycki to prison, but he sided with the Crown's position on sentenc-ing, which was for 12 months probation, with conditions that included a no-contact order, counselling and 40 hours of com-munity service.

"I think what you did is truly as bad as what I'll hear today," said McKimm. "While I think the principles of general and specific deterrence would be better served by putting you in jail, I think the Crown's position is one that respects your youth, your guilty plea — the fact more is gained by education than by retribution."

No jail for man who beat girlfriend, despite judges wishes, Alex Coopereditor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Universal Footwear is having an anniversary. Although Universal Footwear has been a business since 1976, Malcolm & Debbie Bott have owned and operated the business for 25 years. With Universal Foot-wear’s reputation of being a shoe store “like no other” it caters to everyone, with footwear for all sea-sons. Also, they supply CSA work boots for women and men and boast a supreme stock of hiking boots and shoes for all outdoor enthusiasts.

The Botts admit that maintaining and updating stock can be daunt-ing at times but they attribute part of the success to the very talented staff employed through the years. The Botts like to offer Canadian made product when they can, but mostly delve into outstanding qual-ity from Spain, Italy, Germany, Por-tugal, Brazil and Columbia. Since both the Botts work the front end and product purchasing they have a hands on approach to selecting footwear, both customer requested and new to the market place. They do this by attending shows or mar-kets 6 or 7 times a year. The prod-uct is selected 6-8 months before it actually arrives in the store.

Malcolm is the Birkenstock rebuilder and the shoe repair spe-cialist, although he limits repairs to product purchased in store. Keeping defective product out of the landfill is important to the Botts so some-times repair is a necessity as well as a service. Debbie is the bookkeeper

and accounts payable and receiv-able clerk. Keeping an eye on the front line as well as the back line is important. Both these jobs help to maintain margin and ensure opera-tions continue to run smooth.

The Universal Footwear team continues to grow with the addi-tion of their son Jordan and his part-ner Chandra, who are in the store full time. They employ around 8 people and one of the rules of the trade is service, service, service, knowledge, knowledge, knowledge. Staff generally remain employed for a long time which speaks to the continuity of customer ser-vice. The Botts are aware of the fact that your competition is only

a phone call away and are competi-tive with prices. Customers assume that in a small town prices would be higher but because rent is a frac-tion of large centers the Botts can keep prices competitive, and, quite often offer lower than the metropo-lis shopping centers. The Botts are constantly on the hunt for unique, well made items that will not be found everywhere.

The Botts and their staff will be hosting anniversary sales, specials and giveaways starting Sept. 15 for 25 days. The theme will be “25”. Check it out. Remember Univer-sal Footwear is open 7 days a week all year and only closed a total of 4 days a year.

Teachers hit Victoria Road as province rejects arbitrationTeachers line Victoria Road on Friday afternoon to show their solidarity and solicit support from passing motorists. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

VICTORIA – B.C.'s striking teachers will vote Wednesday on the union's proposal to take their long-running dispute with the province to binding arbitration, B.C. Teachers' Federation presi-dent Jim Iker said Monday.

The BCTF is willing to send not only its wage and bene-fit demands but its proposal for class size and special needs sup-port to an independent arbitrator, Iker said. The BCTF wants $225 million a year to improve class-room conditions, spent only on new teachers, and the government

has budgeted $75 million, some of which is paid to teaching assis-tants who belong to the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

The B.C. government rejected arbitration on the weekend after it was presented Friday by Iker, as the strike went into a second week of the new school year. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said he would not hand the budget impli-cations of a union settlement over to a third party.

On Friday, about 60 Revel-stoke teachers lined Victoria Road, raising signs to passing motorists, many of whom honked their horns in return.

“We aren’t happy. We want a

deal. We want to get back in the classroom,” said Jennifer Wolney, the president of the Revelstoke Teachers’ Association. “This is a good message being sent to our government and our trustees.”

She hoped an agreement could be reached through negotiation. “What I want is negotiation, but that doesn’t seem to be happen-ing, so we are left with binding arbitration,” she said.

Iker said results of the vote will be available Wednesday eve-ning. A yes vote will give cer-tainty to the union's position and binding arbitration is the "easiest way" to get schools open again, he said.

NDP leader John Horgan also called on the government Mon-day to make the "unprecedented" move to accept arbitration. Hor-gan said if the government is as secure in its belief its wage offer is fair, it should have no concern about the results.

"We're in uncharted terri-tory, where we've had the longest strike in B.C. history, and it's time we put an end to it," Horgan said.

Asked if he would support raising taxes to pay for a new deal with the province's 40,000 public school teachers, Horgan said the budget has contingency funds to cover unexpected costs.

"If it was good enough for doc-

tors, it should be good enough for teachers," he said, referring to a 2002 arbitration that resulted in $400 million in increased doctor fees.

NDP education critic Rob Fleming said an essential service ruling by the Labour Relations Board to reopen schools isn't likely to offer a quick solution. The board views the fall strike as separate from the long teacher work-to-rule campaign and two weeks of closed schools last June, and so far neither side has applied for such a ruling, he said.

Editor,The Trans-Canada Highway from

Sicamous to Revelstoke now has a 100 km/h speed limit. This will soon be extended to Golden (except for the sections in the national parks, which will retain the existing 90 km/h limit).

The 38 kilometre section with the newly raised limit, from Crazy Creek to Revelstoke, has 10 curve warning signs in each direction. These are curves where the advisory speed, in bare and dry conditions, is lower than the speed limit. Except for one two-kilometre km section recently upgraded to four lanes, it really isn't a highway suitable for the heavy

traf� c and high proportion of transport trucks to travel at higher speeds.

We have the politicians' promises to upgrade the highway. However, even the most optimistic must concede that upgrading is going to take well over a decade. The Kick-ing Horse Canyon Project east of Golden is still waiting for work on phase four to begin — well over a decade after phase one started. That four kilometre section alone is expected to cost most of the $650 million that Pre-mier Christy Clark announced for Trans-Can-

ada upgrading for 2012-2022. Even if similar amounts of federal funding are forthcoming, the commitment falls way short of the cost.

It is going to be a long, long time before the main transport link between British Columbia and the rest of Canada is � t for pur-pose — if it ever is.

Until the highway is upgraded, I am afraid that Revelstoke will suffer increasingly fre-quent highway closures and there will be even more work for the RCMP, the BC Ambulance Service, the Revelstoke rescue truck and the coroner.

Nicholas Thomas,Revelstoke

Trans-Canada deaths will continue without upgradesLETTER

The Best of Buchanan From September 2012

Revelstoke has a long, proud history as a forestry community that continues to this day. It’s a key employer in the town, provid-ing many well paying jobs. I hate to think what Revelstoke’s economy would look like without Downie Timber and the numerous logging companies that manage the forests around here and log the timber.

With that said, it’s time to re-think logging Mount Macpherson. I’m not talking about turning it into a park, but simply restricting logging activities there in order to recognize the fact that its value as a recreational area outstrips its value as a working forest.

This wasn’t always the case, and the devel-opment of Macpherson as a recreation area owes to its past as a working forest. The roads we ski on in the winter were built by logging companies. Some of the mountain biking infrastructure was built thanks to money from the forest industry.

Macpherson’s value as a recreation ame-nity is worth quite a bit, and not just in terms of attracting tourists, but also for increasing

the quality of life for residents. As the recre-ation infrastructure increases there, that value increases. It provides a beautiful and unique forested area to walk, run, bike or ski around.

The logging that is being proposed would generate about $320,000 in economic value, according to BC Timber Sales. The 8,000 cubic metres that is logged is a tiny amount. It’s less than three per cent of BC Timber Sales expected annual harvest in the Colum-bia Forest District.

When you combine it with all the other harvesting conducted by Stella Jones, Downie Timber, Revelstoke Community Forest Cor-poration and other logging companies, it’s almost nothing. It would take decades for the area to once again resemble a forest and in the meantime Revelstoke would be left with yet another clear cut in a highly-valued area close to town. Is it really worth logging for that?

What’s the solution? One possibility is turning the area into a park, but several people I spoke to said that isn’t ideal because it will put restrictions on the area that will restrict

future recreation development. A second thought would be to put a moratorium on log-ging on Macpherson except for extenuating circumstances. Keep it available for develop-ment of trails, but logging could still happen in case of insect infestation or some similar emergency.

A third idea is to turn the area over to the Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation. As a publicly owner entity, this would ensure that the public’s interests are always kept in mind when logging is considered for the area.

Lastly is the idea raised in my article — a land-use plan for the area that would con-sider input from all stakeholders. It could mean logging would be allowed, but would set limits on how much is harvested and log-ging is done.

Right now if BCTS wants to log there, they come up with a plan and let peo-ple know. That forces smaller stakeholders to react to what they are up to. Fortunately, BCTS reached out well in advance of log-ging. A well thought out plan would be even better. It would create an even table where all partners are equal.

MLA 100 per cent behind province's teachers

As a former teacher and prin-cipal, the first week of September has always involved going back to school. As your MLA, I have often chosen my first September MLA report to talk about the value of public education because I believe

strongly that an accessible, fully-funded public education system is one of the most important things a government must provide for its citizens. It is the most valuable gift we can give to all of our children.

But this September, we are not celebrating a return to the class-room, and I believe that Premier Christy Clark is 100 per cent to blame.

I want to declare my unequivo-cal support of our teachers. There is a right side to this dispute, and a wrong side. Teachers and parents are on the right side. The BC Lib-erals clearly do not believe in pub-lic education, and they are doing everything they can to harm our system.

Public education offers opportu-nities to all and creates social cohe-sion. Private schools are by their very nature exclusive, and that exclusivity is not based on talent or ability. It is exclusion based on family wealth, religion and/or gen-der.

Premier Clark's support for pri-vate schools over public schools is demonstrated very clearly by the fact that she uses taxpayers' money to pay BC Liberal MLA Marc Dal-ton $15,000 a year to promote pri-vate schools. The BC Liberals also use taxpayers' money to fund pri-vate schools to the tune of $250 million a year.

Premier Clark's assault on the public education system began in

2002 when she was the Minister of Education under Gordon Campbell. Under her watch, the BC Liberals tore up the teachers' contract. Clark got rid of the provisions that pro-tected your children's learning con-ditions, class size and composition.

BC's Supreme Court has twice declared that the BC Liberals' removal of class size and composi-tion from the teachers’ contract was unconstitutional. The courts said that what Clark and the BC Liber-als did to teachers was illegal.

Now Premier Clark wants teach-ers to agree at the bargaining table on an escape clause that will allow the government to ignore the rul-ing of the courts. This demand is what is keeping your children out

of school.In order to return to the class-

room, teachers will have to sanc-tion the government's illegal action against them. They will have to sign away their rights that have been confirmed twice by the Supreme Court. And your children would lose any possibility of having the government reinvest in properly supported learning conditions in their classroom.

Teachers are fighting for the sur-vival of properly funded public education. For me, there is no grey area. I am 100% in support of BC's teachers. I support quality public education for all of BC's children.

Mla REpoRTby NoRM MacdoNald

Editor,There are very few times that

Norm Macdonald and I agree on things but I have found a few excep-tions. As a former teacher myself I believe in a strong public edu-cation system. I respect and value our teachers and applaud them for hard they work and the value they bring to the lives of our children. I believe that teachers deserve an affordable raise and that our chil-dren deserve all that can possibly be given in terms of class size and composition.

That said, I find it extremely disappointing that Mr. Macdon-ald has taken an opportunity to politicize this very serious provin-cial situation by trying to have us believe that there is a “right side”

and a “wrong side,” that the Pre-mier supports private over pub-lic schools and that she is “100 per cent to blame.” These statements are simply irresponsible, inaccurate and misguiding with the expressed intent of inspiring nothing more than emotional responses from peo-ple who deserve far better.

Mr. Macdonald neglects to acknowledge that negotiation never labels a right or a wrong side nor will the process ever assign blame to a single person. Mediated negoti-ation recognizes opposing sides and the differing opinions held and pro-motes collaboration as both sides work toward a mutually agreeable settlement.

His blame game neglects to mention that the BC Teachers Fed-

eration (BCTF) continues to strug-gle with the concept of concession, which is a key element of any bar-gaining process or that it is puz-zling why the BCTF have rejected the government’s offer to re-open schools while mediation continues.

Disturbingly, Mr. Macdonald chose not to reference the fact that the BCTF actually refused to let teachers vote on suspending the strike during continued mediation or equally puzzling why the BCTF seems to wants to force govern-ment to legislate teachers back to work knowing that this will result in the same dysfunctional relation-ship that has been the B.C. experi-

ence for the past 30 years. Mr. Macdonald believes that

it is fair for the BCTF to demand more money than has been awarded to any other BC public employee, and then on top of that throw in a $5,000 teacher signing bonus. Sound fair to you?

Mr. Macdonald does not under-stand the BCTF refusal to set aside educational issues that are cur-rently before the courts and cannot be negotiated at this time, are keep-ing kids out of classrooms. Fur-ther he neglects to acknowledge the BCTF wants to go back to the old ridged ratios and formulas that in the past defined class size and composition knowing full well that no other province in Canada man-ages its classrooms this way. Why?

They are inefficient, ineffective and highly discriminatory towards stu-dents with special needs.

Blame is a waste of time and takes the focus off what is most important — getting kids back into classrooms. For the sake of our kids Norm act like an MLA and roll up your sleeves and do something. Meet with and encourage your BCTF pals and do everything you can to get them back to the bargain-ing table. This will demonstrate with measurable effort that you do unequivocally support teachers and public education and that you are the MLA

Revelstoke has a strong vision and desire to be a great place to live, work and play. Part of this vision is being inclusive of all cit-izens regardless of income. Yet in the last few years, the rising cost of living has become a challenge for many residents.

And what impacts citizens, impacts our community.

As a result, the Social Devel-opment Committee has targeted poverty reduction as a high pri-

ority for action. But tackling pov-erty is a daunting task. It has been called one of the most complex issues of our time. In Revelstoke, much work is going on behind the scenes to support individuals and build community. This article is the first in a series that will highlight many aspects of poverty reduc-tion in Revelstoke — what is going on, what we are doing about it, and what we could be doing better.

In 2012, the Social Development

Committee completed a commu-nity-wide poverty reduction strat-egy. Little did we know that for a community of our size, taking this first step was ground breaking. The report put together 10 years of stats from a variety of sources, focusing on income, housing and food secu-rity. As well, we looked at local affordability using the ‘market bas-ket measure.’ When we compared the actual cost of living to people’s income, we found that just over 30

per cent of Revelstoke households were struggling to meet basic needs — no frills, no savings.

We interviewed service provid-ers and, most importantly, peo-ple living in poverty to find out what were their biggest challenges. Many were working more than one job just to get by. Housing and the high cost of food were at the top of the list. Lack of well paid, secure, year-round employment and the cost of things like medication and

optometry were major chal-lenges.

Ten community goals emerged, each with a num-ber of recommended actions. We’ve been chipping away at it ever since.

“Improved information sharing, networking and com-munication on poverty reduc-tion goals and strategies” is our first community goal. This is important because every-thing else follows. Not only do we need to raise aware-ness of what is going on in our own community, but we also need to learn what is work-ing in other places across Can-ada. Linking in to the ‘Vibrant Communities Canada - Cities Reducing Poverty’ initiative, we became part of a nation-wide action team that created a national Poverty Reduction Charter. So far, cities across

Canada from Surrey, B.C., to Charlotte County, NB, have signed the charter. As well, Revelstoke is one of 13 cities across Canada reporting prog-ress to a Municipal Monitor on Poverty Reduction, based in Toronto.

In April, we were invited to Nelson to share our expe-rience in developing a pov-erty reduction strategy and to kick off the same process for Nelson. In May, presentations were made to our local Cham-ber and Rotary club. This Sep-tember, Revelstoke has been invited to present alongside the cities of Surrey and Vic-toria at a workshop on “Tack-ling Poverty at the Community Level” at the annual Union of BC Municipalities convention in Whistler. For a community of our size, Revelstoke is tak-ing the lead.

Locally, we have formed a working group to make sure we are moving forward. Pov-erty is best addressed by work-ing together, involving busi-ness, government and non-profit leaders as well as people with first hand experi-ence in living in poverty. We must build on local assets, of which we have many. Rather than trying to alleviate symp-toms of poverty, it is impor-tant to focus on the interrelated cause-and-effects, working on many different areas over time. There is no ‘silver bullet’. We are in it for the long haul.

The working group’s pur-pose is to track progress on what we are doing, support community-based organiza-tions to implement programs and projects directly related to poverty reduction; build community-wide awareness

and support for related issues in Revelstoke; act as a 'think tank', brainstorming ideas and building community partner-ships to act on those ideas; apply for project and program-based funding; and measure, evaluate and report on out-comes.

Sharing information is about learning. As well, it is about advocacy – what we can do from the ground up, work-ing together to ensure that all citizens have the opportunity, financial and otherwise, to maintain a decent standard of living and to participate in our community.

Interested in joining the working group or finding out more? Contact Jill at 250-814-3875 or email e.jill.zach-arias@gmail.com. Find the strategy online at www.revel-stokesocialdevelopment.org.

Spirit of The West (SOTW) is a well known Canadian band hailing from Vancouver. Getting their start back in 1983, the band has had several hits in the Canadian charts, includ-ing their iconic drinking song Home for A Rest, released 13 studio albums, been inducted into the Hall of Fame of the  Western Canadian Music Asso-ciation, and received various other awards. Comprised of band mem-bers Hugh McMillian, Geoffrey Kelly, Vince Ditrich, John Mann, Tobin Frank and Matthew Harder, SOTW is playing at the Revelstoke Perform-ing Arts Centre on Sept 11 as the kick off to the Revelstoke Arts Councils 2014/15 performance series.

Despite leaving a fast and scattered voice mail, SOTW band member Dit-rich called back. “Oh I knew exactly what you were saying,” he laughs, “Now actors, they’re the worst. They leave 20 minute messages about some woman’s hat who just walked past.”

His computer unavailable, Dit-rich was unable to email and con-cludes calling is easier as when “try-ing to thumb type on a phone I’m only a hairs breath smarter than a monkey.” Charming, funny and articulate, Dit-rich was happy to answer a few ques-tions.

When asked about favourite per-formances and having “many won-derful times” Ditrich personally feels one of their most meaningful events was playing in Vimy, France, at the 95th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. “The people there and they way they still feel for our great grand-fathers was quite profound. It was an honour representing our country there.”

Enjoying venues both small and large in nature, Ditrich concludes SOTW likes a “balanced diet of the two.”

“Each venue has its own set of unique characteristics. There are songs you can play in a small intimate setting that you can’t play in a large arena. The way you talk and converse with the crowd changes.”

SOTW songs that have stood the test of time are clear favourites for the audience, but Ditrich finds certain songs, such as Goodbye Grace and Lights of Man hold significant value to

him personally. “They pull at my heart strings,” he explains. “The people these songs are about are in the fore-front of our minds each time we per-form the song.”

Noting that they are performing Home For a Rest in a dry setting, Dit-rich shrugs it off. “It’s a little quieter when that happens, but it’s nice to have people sober and with us. Often by the time in the set Home For A Rest plays people are senseless drunks.”

Having been around for decades, every band member has a family and children and balance their home lives with travel. “There are 14 kids all together,” Ditrich explains. “We joke the kids are a demographic unto them-selves. The oldest is 25 or 26 and the youngest is just one.” While noting with so many people on tour at a time SOTW would require their own tour bus, small hotel and pub; each family does get the chance to attend shows.

When asked if they hadn’t ended up in a successful band where their lives would have taken them, Ditrich notes they are all firmly stuck in the arts. “John would be in acting,” he says. “But Geoffrey might have been an accountant, I might have been a history teacher or an astronaut. Hugh, he’s brilliant and might have been a scientist, though he is cursed with a gift in the arts!”

And while not currently working on new material, Ditrich says that may change in the near future for SOTW.

SOTW was inducted into the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame this past March, and while clearly pleased, Dit-rich jokes that one can now stumble down Granville and come across the star on the sidewalk.

“I’ve lived in Vancouver for 30 years,” he said. “To think something I’m a part of is permanently part of the city is a good feeling.”

Though Ditrich has driven through Revelsoke and various occasions, admiring the local country and getting Revel stuck due to highway closures, Ditrich confessed he personally never had, or would, stop to ski. “Jesus no,” he says. “Why ski when there is a per-fectly good pub nearby?”

Spirit of the West plays at the Rev-elstoke Performing Arts Centre on Thursday, Sept. 11, at 7:30 p.m. Tick-ets are $35, available at the visitor information centre, ArtFirst, or the Revelstoke Arts Council website.

"We are excited to present a very wide variety of programming for our audience this season," said Miriam Manley, the manager of the performing arts centre. "High-lights include a fabulous, very funny, one-woman show about the six wives of Henry VIII from Monster Theatre. Another show that is going to be a big hit is the multi-talented acrobats Ache Bra-sil, part of our Family Series, while Comedian Roman Danylo will be bringing some laughs to Welcome Week."

MUSICTHURSDAY, SEPT. 11SPIRIT OF THE WEST

Nearing the three-and-a-half decade mark, Spirit of the West continues to rock audiences with their original and potent blend of folk, Celtic, rock, pop and punk. The band that began in 1983

as an innocent trio of acoustic gui-tar, � utes and bouzouki is now a musical and performance power-house that features six musicians and dozens of instrument changes in a nights’ worth of timeless and beloved songs. With 13 albums to their credit, � ve of them gold and three platinum, a history of exten-sive touring throughout the west-

ern world, and the authorship of the classic drinking song  'Home For a Rest.' Spirit of the West’s legacy has grown to legendary status.

Tickets are $35, or $27 for a sea-son pass holder.

FRIDAY, OCT. 3THE PAPERBOYS

This award winning, critically acclaimed band serves up a heady blend of country-folk-celtic-blue-grass-rock with a traditional bit of Mexican music thrown in there for good measure. The Paper-boys are renowned for their ener-getic live performances and have wowed festival goers the world over.  They create a buzz wher-ever they play and it is no wonder with Tom Landa’s richly expres-sive vocals backed up by a medley of whistle, � ute, banjo, percussion, guitar and jarana (a small Mexican guitar.) The lively jigs and reels are sure to get you moving, so get your dancing shoes on and prepare for an exhilarating evening of enter-tainment. $15, or $12 for a season pass holder.

The Revelstoke Grizzlies kick off their regular season this Satur-day, and coach Ryan Parent likes what he's seen so far after playing six exhibition games in six nights.

"I think that over six games of hockey we have some real bright spots and we're going to be an exciting young hockey club," he said following a 3-1 loss to the Sicamous Eagles on Sunday.

Revelstoke started it's busy pre-season last Tuesday, Sept. 2, with a 6-1 win over the Golden Rock-ets. The two teams tied 5-5 the fol-lowing day. On Thursday, Revel-stoke beat Sicamous 3-1 and fol-lowed that up with 5-2 and 1-0 wins over North Okanagan on Fri-

day and Saturday. Sunday's loss was the team's

only pre-season blemish. "We saw a good hockey club

in Sicamous tonight and I think they'll bring nothing less on (Sat-urday)," said Parent. "I think it will be a great way to open the sea-son. I think it will be an exciting way to start off."

Revelstoke will be icing a young team this year. That was apparent from the number of play-ers wearing facemasks on Sunday — an indication they had yet to play any junior hockey.

The Grizzlies roster wasn’t available by the time the Times Review went to press, but Parent said he would be handing out cards Monda to set the 25-man roster that would open the season.

“I look for compete level, the ability to battle back and overall skill level in your players,” he said. “We have a really healthy mix of good skill, good compete level. It’s going to go in the right direction this year.”

Three Revelstoke Minor Hockey products will be rook-ies on this year's team — Nii Noi Tetteh, Josh Pilon and Louie Fed-erico. Tetteh and Pilon are both 16-year-olds who played for the Thompson Blazers major midget team last year. Federico, 17, played as an AP for the Grizzlies last year.

"I think it's exciting when you have a few local players that are able to play and able to compete at this level," said Parent.

Parent also acquired Derek Mis-

kiman, a 20-year-old local who will � nish off his junior career playing in his hometown. "I'm excited for the opportunity," said Miskiman, who has played for the Chase Heat and Sicamous Eagles in the past three years. "We have a lot of young guys here this year. I'm looking forward to playing here. My whole family and friends are here. It will be fun."

As one of the few veterans on the team this year, Miskiman will be thrust into a leadership role. "We've got a lot of young guys, showing them the ropes and trying to get them so they know the lit-tle stuff," he said. “Moving up to junior, it's a big step from minor hockey."

He said this year's team is a lot better than last year's last-place

� nishers. "Last year was a bit of a dark period for the team. We're hoping to get to the light side this year and pull together a lot more wins and have a good year."

Parent expects the team to move up the standings, but how they compare to their Doug Birks divi-sion opponents remains to be seen.

"Nobody ever won the Stan-ley Cup in pre-season and how everybody stacks up to us will be determined down the stretch," he said. "I'm excited about our youth and how much improvement I've already seen and the sheer will and grit. I like it."

The Revelstoke Grizzlies start the regular season on Saturday, Sept. 13, in Sicamous. The home opener is Friday, Sept. 19, against the Eagles.

Stu Dickson ready to take on Revelstoke enduro race

It’s a photo that jumps off the page at you. The early morning dew drops crystallized around a perfect spider web. Inside each of the drops is the reflection of a mysterious mountain biker, riding down the trail behind

the web, his clothing causing a pur-ple glow that illuminates the web from behind.

The photo was captured by Bruno Long and landed the prestigious cover of the Bike Magazine photo annual.

The rider is Stu Dickson, an 18-year-old aspiring pro mountain biker who has been making a name

for himself this summer, both through his photo work with Long and his success on the BC Enduro race circuit.

“The cover shot on the photo annual for Bike Magazine was huge,” Dickson said. “That’s eas-ily the highlight of the season. It doesn’t happen very often.”

You can see Dickson in front of the lens in several photos in Bike Magazine, or you can head out to the trails this weekend as he takes on the final stop of the BC and Kootenay-Rockies Enduro race series.

Dickson was born and raised in Revelstoke. As a kid, he would ride his BMX bike at the skate park, but it wasn’t until he was 13 when Brendan Macintosh gave him a job at Flowt Bikes that he started hitting the trails. He chased older, faster riders like Macintosh around the trails, and started freeriding and down-hilling with his friends.

“Riding with everyone that was better than me and chasing people around town just made me get faster and faster,” Dickson said. “The older I got the stronger I got and the quicker I could go.”

It wasn’t long before he started

entering races. He didn’t domi-nate, but he generally placed near the top. Still, even as he enjoyed success in downhill races, the for-mat was losing its appeal to him.

“I was looking for something with more riding in it and then enduro exploded,” he said. “I tried it out this year and it was really good.”

Enduro is a competition format where riders race down multiple trails in a day. The descents are timed but the climbs aren’t, mak-ing for a more relaxed but still competitive format. “We pedal together to the top and race each other down,” said Dickson. “It’s definitely more appealing to me than downhill racing.”

Last year enduro took off with the launch of the Enduro World Series. This summer, two related series started in western Canada — the BC Enduro Series and the Kootenay-Rocky Enduro Series. Dickson entered four of the races, placing second in Penticton, third in Canmore, winning in Golden and finishing sixth in Rossland after a big crash on the first stage.

He also entered the Enduro World Series race in Whistler in August. “That was pretty crazy.

It was a huge step up in compe-tition,” he said. “They were super gnarly trails we were racing on. It was really big and really long.”

The race didn’t go well for Dickson. He crashed on the first stage, tore the cleat off his shoe on the second stage and broke his wheel on stage three, forcing him to withdraw from the race. “Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong,” he said.

The BC and Kootenay-Rocky series come together this week-end for the final race in Revel-stoke. Dickson will have home trail advantage but he also knows some of his friends know the trails well here too.

For Dickson, he doesn’t know if his future in the sport is in rac-ing. Rather, he wants to keep exploring the photo side of moun-tain biking. The last few years he has worked steadily with Bruno Long, getting up early and in all sorts of weather to seek out the images that will land them in magazines. Long brings the cam-era; Dickson needs to make it look good. That could mean bik-ing back and forth on a section of trail dozens of times to nail the shot. The Bike Magazine cover took about 30 takes.

Dickson’s favourite picture is a two page spread that closed this year’s Bike Magazine photo annual. It shows him riding through a foggy forest with giant rays of light spreading out behind him. “The crazy God rays in the forest,” he said. “I’d never seen light do that before in the fog.”

Dickson’s dream is to travel the world and explore new places on his bike. “Being able to go where you like, set up these cool trips and explore the world on your bike is the dream for me.”

The BC and Kootenay-Rocky Enduro Series is in Rev-elstoke this Saturday and Sun-day, Sept. 13–14. Saturday sees the riders race down the trails at Mount Macpherson and on Sun-day they’ll navigate the Boulder Mountain trail network. Find out more at bcenduro.com.

Mervin John Deibert

Mervin John Deibert passed away at Vernon Hospice House on Friday, August 22, 2014 at the age of 68 after a 3 year battle with prostate cancer.

Merv was born in Scott, Saskatchewan on May 13, 1946, the youngest of 11 and lived and worked in that area until he settled in Revelstoke in 1968. He worked for Drew Sawmill, Mica Dam Sawmill, Bell Pole, and then finally Downie Sawmill where he operated the Wagoneer. He always enjoyed his daily

visits with the many, many logging truck drivers during the day and usually always had a story to tell when he got home at the end of his shift…

Merv retired on his 65th Birthday but continued to work until August, it was the next month that he was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Family was most important to Merv and he loved to spend time with them. Merv enjoyed “puttering” and was an awesome carpenter. He was “the handy man” of all times and it didn’t matter what it was he could fix it or build it. “Glue” was his all-time favorite with a little help of a hammer and nail. Merv and Brenda Dixon Camozzi met on February 1, 1992 at the ever famous “King Eddy Pub” and were married in Revelstoke, in 1996. In 2012 after Brenda retired from R.S.S. they moved to Vernon to be closer to family.

Merv was predeceased by his parents Joseph and Barbara, his mother and father in law Clara and Harold Dixon and siblings Anthony Deibert, Pauline Vollman, Mary Martel, Regina Gerow and Gerald Deibert. He is survived by his wife Brenda, step children, Deena Camozzi (Jason) Summerfelt, Vernon, Brad Camozzi (Rhonda) Prince George; sons: Rod Deibert, Revelstoke, Ryan Deibert (Nicole) Olds, Alberta; grandchildren: Amanda Burk, (Ben Cross), Courtney Burk Rogers (Curtis), all of Vernon, Justin Burk, Grand Prairie, Ciara and Jared Camozzi, Prince George, Landon Deibert, Olds, Alberta, and great granddaughter Khloe May Burk, Vernon. Merv is also survived by his “Best Buddy” Richard Camozzi of Vernon and siblings Emil Deibert, Eileen Neiser, Arnold Deibert, Annette McConnell and Agnes Mettlewsky.

The family would like to thank Dr. MacLeod of Revelstoke, Dr. Schuch and staff of Vernon Three Lakes Medical Clinic, Dr. Crook of Kelowna, Drs. Schulz and Dr. Humphrey of Vernon, and the very caring staff of Vernon Jubliee Hospital, Vernon Hospice House and Vernon Community Care.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Revelstoke United Church, September 13th at 2:00 p.m. with a Tea following at the Revelstoke Senior’s Centre. Donations greatly appreciated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation, B.C. #4 -17918 55th Ave., Surrey, B.C., V3S 6C8 or the North Okanagan Hospice Society, 3506 27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C. V1T 1S4.

Messages of condolence may be sent to Merv’s family by viewing his obituary at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com.

Cremation arrangements are in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.

Ellen Mae Fuoco

Ellen Mae Fuoco passed away at Queen Victoria Hospital, Revelstoke on Friday, August 29th, 2014 at the age of 82 years. A Celebration of Life Tea will be held at the Revelstoke Senior’s Center on Saturday, September 20th, 2014 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Revelstoke Humane Society, Box 340, Revelstoke, B.C. V0E 2S0, or any local SPCA, in memory of Ellie.

Ellie was born in Golden, B.C. on July 27, 1932 and had been a resident of Revelstoke for over 70 years.

She loved bowling in her early years, and doing crafts until the end. Family was first and foremost important to her. Ellie loved flowers, gardens and trains, which were her passion. She was an animal lover and the neighbourhood animals, and even passing wildlife were attracted to her generosity. Ellie always thought about others first and was generous to her neighbours, friends, employees and even the garbage collectors. Her home was always open to anyone and was a meeting place for the neighbourhood children. She was the self-professed matriarch of the neighbourhood and was always a constant friend for everyone who lived nearby. Ellie took a keen interest in her children’s activities and was always present at their sports games. She was the sponsor and manager of the Fuoco Transferettes Ladies Softball team and enjoyed attending their games. Ellie was a wonderful host and together with her husband Jim, they enjoyed entertaining at many staff parties. She was proud of the fact that she had married the boy next door.

Ellie was predeceased by her husband Jim (Fitz) in 2003, sister Patsy Croswell in December, 2013, brother Roy Weidenman in February, 2014 and her parents Leo and Frances Weidenman. She is survived by five children: Barbara (Jim) Abel of Kelowna, David (Jacqueline) Fuoco of Surrey, Terry (Allan) Sutherland of Revelstoke, Karry (Jim) Dinsdale of Cranbrook and Tina (Bill) Wraight of Kelowna; seven grandchildren: Taylor (Nicole) Allen of Edmonton, Mandy (Brittney) Allen of Calgary, Montana (Jon) Marshall of Houston, Texas, Dakota (Sebastian Linde) Fuoco of Vancouver, Kristi (Nathan) Dorward of Revelstoke, Kyle (Heather Ramsay) Sutherland of Revelstoke and Kaylin Sutherland of Revelstoke; two great grandchildren: Jayden and Gavin Allen of Edmonton. Siblings: Marie Coueffin of Penticton, Eva (Vern) Shoenberger of Vernon, Beatrice (Ernie) Rayfield of Prince George and Norman Weidenman of Vancouver; sister-in-law Susan Weidenman of Port McNeil; numerous nieces and nephews; grand pets: puppies - Harley, Kway, Alvin, Charlie, J.D., T-Rex, Edgrrr and Hector, kitties: Seidi, Lily and Sadie; good friend Babs Defoe and many other friends.

Robert “Bryan”Corson

On Monday, August 25th, at age 76, with his children by his side at Toronto General Hospital, Bryan Corson of Ennismore, Ontario passed away after a brief illness.

Bryan leaves three children to cherish his memory, Alison (and Martin) Philbey of Halifax, NS; Glen Corson of Omemee, ON and Jennifer Corson (and Keith Robertson) of Halifax, NS; seven grandchildren Blair, Erin, Moreen, Clay, Lilian, Joshua and Jessica and great-grandchildren Hannah and Cameron, as well as nieces, nephews and cousins. Bryan was pre-deceased by his wife Moreen; parents Eldon and Maude Corson and brother Graeme Corson.

Bryan was born on October 8, 1937 in Vancouver, BC. He spent his youth in Kamloops and Pentiction; arriving in Revelstoke at the age of 15. He met his future wife Moreen (Day) on the steps of the school “holding open the door for her”. He completed high school in Revelstoke in 1955 and married Moreen in 1959. Together they moved with newborn Alison to Vancouver where he completed his Bachelor of Commerce Degree at UBC in 1961. Bryan was a CP Rail man through and through. His summer jobs during university were with the railway and then was hired on full time after graduation. CP Rail took the Corson family to many cities throughout Canada (Brandon, Calgary, Winnipeg, Montreal, Toronto, Lethbridge) with retirement in Winnipeg in 1992. In his retirement Bryan frequently visited family in Nova Scotia and Ontario and became a snowbird in Florida many winters. His last home in Ennismore, ON completed his wish list by living on a waterfront property watching incredible sunrises.

A private family interment at Mountain View Cemetery in Revelstoke will be planned for later this fall.

The family wishes to thank the health care workers at Peterborough Regional Health Centre and the Cardiovascular ICU at the Toronto General Hospital for their care and compassion.

If desired, memorial tributes may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society (ovariancancer.org) or a charity of your choice.

Arrangements in the care of Brandon/Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.

Robert “Bryan”Corson

On Monday, August 25th, at age 76, with his children by his side at Toronto General Hospital, Bryan Corson of Ennismore, Ontario passed away after a brief illness.

Bryan leaves three children to cherish his memory, Alison (and Martin) Philbey of Halifax, NS; Glen Corson of Omemee, ON and Jennifer Corson (and Keith Robertson) of Halifax, NS; seven grandchildren Blair, Erin, Moreen, Clay, Lilian, Joshua and Jessica and great-grandchildren Hannah and Cameron, as well as nieces, nephews and cousins. Bryan was pre-deceased by his wife Moreen; parents Eldon and Maude Corson and brother Graeme Corson.

Bryan was born on October 8, 1937 in Vancouver, BC. He spent his youth in Kamloops and Pentiction; arriving in Revelstoke at the age of 15. He met his future wife Moreen (Day) on the steps of the school “holding open the door for her”. He completed high school in Revelstoke in 1955 and married Moreen in 1959. Together they moved with newborn Alison to Vancouver where he completed his Bachelor of Commerce Degree at UBC in 1961. Bryan was a CP Rail man through and through. His summer jobs during university were with the railway and then was hired on full time after graduation. CP Rail took the Corson family to many cities throughout Canada (Brandon, Calgary, Winnipeg, Montreal, Toronto, Lethbridge) with retirement in Winnipeg in 1992. In his retirement Bryan frequently visited family in Nova Scotia and Ontario and became a snowbird in Florida many winters. His last home in Ennismore, ON completed his wish list by living on a waterfront property watching incredible sunrises.

A private family interment at Mountain View Cemetery in Revelstoke will be planned for later this fall.

The family wishes to thank the health care workers at Peterborough Regional Health Centre and the Cardiovascular ICU at the Toronto General Hospital for their care and compassion.

If desired, memorial tributes may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society (ovariancancer.org) or a charity of your choice.

Arrangements in the care of Brandon/Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.

1:00 p.m. with Reverend Dan Meakes officiating. Interment of Ken’s cremated remains will follow in the family plot of Mountain View Cemetery, Revelstoke.

Ken was born on March 9, 1929 in White Rock, B.C. He was interred in Sandon and Slocan during WW2 before coming to Revelstoke in 1946 with his parents and siblings. Ken gained employment with Burridges Plumbing, Heating & Electrical where he learned the trades. He later started his own Plumbing, Heating & Electrical business in Revelstoke. He retired in 1994. Ken enjoyed wood carving and wood turning. His favorite past-time was his garden. He also enjoyed jamming with friends after church and coffeeing with his friends on Tuesday at the A & W. Ken participated in sports as well, most especially skiing, curling and golfing. He was a long-time member of the Elks Lodge and received his 50 year pin this year.

Ken was predeceased by his first wife Takako in 1995, a brother Seigo in 1950 and two brothers-in-law: John Dubitz and Allan Hattori. He is survived by his second wife Miriam whom he was separated from; son Robert, sisters: Mary Obara of Kelowna, Naomi (Eugene) Ogino of Salmon Arm, Karol Dubitz of Surrey, Minnie Hattori of Surrey, Vivian (Ward) Giddens of Edmonton and brother Tom (Carol) Sakamoto of Revelstoke.

Chicks Dig It

Local RCMP constable riding into Revelstoke with Cops for Kids

From fighting crime, to fund-raising and training for a mara-thon of a bike ride — it’s all in a day’s work for Revelstoke RCMP Cst. Seanan Sharp.

Again this year, Sharp has joined the 2014 Thomas Alan Budd Foundation Cops for Kids Ride Team, which left Kelowna on Friday, Sept. 5, on a 10 day, 1,000 kilometre cycling jour-ney across southeastern British Columbia.

The annual Cops for Kids Ride raises funds and awareness for children in medical, physi-cal and traumatic crisis in our region, for the funding of medi-cal equipment, therapies, travel to Children’s Hospital, learning & mobility aids. Since 2001, Cops for Kids has raised more than $2.7 million in support of local children.

During the 10 day ride, Cops for Kids riders will cycle into 18 different communities across

southeastern B.C., where they will have the opportunity to meet many of the children who benefit from this event. Meeting these lit-tle ambassadors will remind each rider of the challenges they face each day, and it will keep them focused to help better the lives of these children.

“I’ve participated in this event in the past,” said Sharp. “The physical challenge doesn’t get any easier for us cycling all those miles, but our hard work means that the challenges get a little bit easier for the kids who need it most. The items we fund aren’t covered by extended health care benefits or government programs, so these kids need us to help them where we can.”

As a part of the 2014 Cops for Kids Ride, the team will be arriv-ing at Cooper’s in Revelstoke on Thursday, Sept. 11, at approx-imately 3:00pm, where they’ll be greeted by local dignitaries and their little ambassadors who receive funding from the annual fundraiser. Members of the pub-

lic are encouraged to come meet with the team for a photo and cake, and to spend time with the Subway Commit to Fit truck that is joining the team on their jour-ney this year promoting “random acts of fitness.”

Cops for Kids provide assis-tance directly to children who need it most from our region. Due to the overwhelming num-ber of grant requests, they are unable to meet the demands and have established a wait list of children needing essential medi-cal equipment, specialized ther-apies, and medical travel. Cops for Kids has the unique opportu-nity to offer donors and sponsors the most efficient and effective way to make an immediate differ-ence in the life of a child. They’re anticipating a funding shortfall this year, so donations are appre-ciated more than ever.

To follow the team along their journey or to make a donation please visit the website at www.copsforkids.org.

in organized crime homicides comes after a series of high-profile investi-gations leading to charges, as well as new initiatives to prevent or reduce gang membership.

His comments were published Monday in the unit's 2014 annual community report. It can be found online at bc-anti-gang.com.

The number of gang-related kill-ings in B.C. fell to 13 last year from 18 in 2012 and has been cut by almost two-thirds from the 36 gang murders committed in 2009.

Nearly 100 organized crime fig-ures or gang-related individuals were arrested and charged last year with more than 270 offences in close to 30

B.C. communities, Hackett said.The report's release came after the

province announced policing cuts that will pare the CFSEU budget by $2.8 million.

Much public attention has focused on the Surrey Six murder trial, which concluded in early July. A decision is expected to be handed down Oct.

2 in the case against two of the men accused of killing two innocents along with four other targeted vic-tims.

But a separate murder conspiracy trial for Red Scorpions gang member Jamie Bacon is slated to begin next May for his alleged role in the Surrey Six slayings.

And there could be two other major gang murder trials in 2015 as well.

A trial is expected to begin next year in Kelowna, where Jonathan Bacon was gunned down three years ago. Jujhar Khun-Khun, Michael Kerry Hunter Jones and Jason Thomas McBride face first-degree murder charges as well as four counts each of attempted murder.

CFSEU officials say next year could also see the start of a trial against Cory Vallee, accused in two murders –  the 2009 shooting in Langley of Red Scorpion Kevin LeClair and the 2008 shooting in Burnaby of Jonathan Bar-ber, who was mistakenly targeted because he was installing a stereo in a car owned by a Bacon brother.

Vallee, who was arrested in August in Mex-ico and quickly returned to B.C., also faces conspir-acy charges in relation to a UN Gang plot to kill the Bacon brothers.

Hackett said a joint CFSEU-IHIT investiga-tion also led to murder conspiracy guilty pleas last year against six UN Gang members and asso-ciates.

He said the gang-sters had been "ruth-lessly hunting" members of the Bacon crime group in 2008-09, a period dur-ing which police efforts also prevented at least two more murders.

"They displayed blatant disregard for public safety in what Crown counsel referred to as 'human safa-ris' while they targeted their rivals."

The six received sen-tences of seven to 14 years each and although UN Gang leader Barzan Tilli-Choli could be out late in 2018 due to time served, he is expected to then be deported to Iraq.

Hackett was optimis-tic the CFSEU's edgy End Gang Life campaign (end-ganglife.ca) will help per-suade more gang members to reform. It plays on the emotions of gangsters with imagery of loved ones left behind after they're dead.

The annual report includes statistics on the ethnicity of gang murder victims, where the bodies are typically found (31 per cent inside a car, 20 per cent inside a residence), as well as seasonal patterns in gang violence.
