5It was a wild weekend in Revelstoke, with hundreds of ball players here for the Glacier Challenge, lots of cyclists around for Revelstoke Bikefest, and many more tourists descending on the town for three sunny days of fun and games. It was great – except for the chaos at the highway intersection and the gas stations.1. A player from team Smack-a-Pitch swings for the fences against Deez Ballz in Saturday slo-pitch action. 2.

CASTLEGAR - Effec-tive at noon Pacific Time on Tuesday, Aug. 5, campfires were prohibited throughout

the Southeast Fire Centre to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety.

This measure is in addi-tion to an open burning pro-hibition implemented on

July 2.With the current trend

of warm and dry weather in British Columbia, wild-fires have displayed very aggressive behaviour and required additional fire sup-

pression resources. Human-caused wildfires can divert critical resources and crews from responding to naturally occurring wildfires.

The campfire prohibition will remain in place until the

public is notified that it has been rescinded. A map of the area covered by the ban is available online.

Specifically, prohibited activities will include:— Campfires, as defined in

the wildfire regu-lation.— The burning of any waste, slash or other materials.— Stubble or grass fires of any size over any area.— The use of burn-ing barrels of any size or description.— The use of fire-works, sky lan-terns, tiki torches or chimineas (out-door fire pits).

The prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable camp-fire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rat-ing that uses bri-quettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, so long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centime-tres. The use of a campfire apparatus that does not meet these specifications is prohibited.

The open burn-ing prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands,

but does not apply within the boundaries of local gov-ernments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by fire departments. Please check with local governments for any other restrictions before lighting any fire.

Anyone found in violation of a fire prohibition, includ-ing campfires, may be issued a ticket for up to $345. Any-one who causes a wildfire through arson or reckless-ness may be fined up to $1 million, spend up to three years in prison and be held accountable for associated firefighting costs.

The Southeast Fire Centre would like to thank the pub-lic for reporting wildfires and using fire safely during this period of elevated wildfire danger.

The Southeast Fire Cen-tre covers the area extend-ing from the U.S. border in the south to Mica Dam in the north and from the Okana-gan Highlands and Mona-shee Mountains in the west to the B.C.-Alberta border in the east. This includes the Selkirk and Rocky Mountain resource districts.

For information on air quality and smoke forecasts for Western Canada, visit the BC Air Quality web-site: www.bcairquality.ca/bluesky/west/index.html

To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

During allergy season, it’s good to remember that pollen is very sticky. It adheres to eyelashes and hair on our bodies. Taking a shower at night is a good way to wash away the pollen. The hairs in our noses also have pollen stuck to them, so rinsing your nasal passages is also a good idea.

Keeping a close watch on your sodium intake? Anything that fizzes can

have high sodium levels. If you want to be sure, read the nutritional labels.

The pure liquid nicotine in e-cigarettes is a hazard to children. Since e-cigarettes began being marketed in the U.S. a couple of years ago, poison control centres have seen more poisonings of young children who have ingested the contents of e-cigarettes. Health Canada hasn’t legalized

this product in Canada and its slowness to make a decision is well-founded as it need’s more assurance of safety.

Pharmacists and doctors are aware that many people don’t take their prescribed medication as ordered. This can be detrimental to people’s health. A study done in England recently looked at people taking blood pressure (BP) medication and found that 25%

were not taking their blood pressure meds as prescribed. Since we usually can’t “feel” high blood pressure, damage is being done when meds are missed. Take your medications as your doctor orders; especially BP medications.

Helping you understand how to get the most out of your medications is the primary job of our pharmacists. It’s important to us.

The body of a man who drowned in Lake Revelstoke after jumping off a bridge was recovered by the RCMP Thursday afternoon.

Kody Skye Greveling, 28, of Cold-stream, B.C., drowned after diving off the Laforme Creek Bridge on High-way 23, about 20 kilometres north of Revelstoke, at around 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 30.

On Thursday, his co-worker Elliott was back at the bridge to place some flowers in tribute of his colleague. He placed one bouquet at the side of the road and threw another into the lake.

Elliott said they were at the lake relaxing after taking the afternoon off work due to an incident at their work site.

Greveling — who Elliott described as a daredevil — made one jump from the 25-metre high bridge. Before they left, he decided to go for one more jump. The second time, he attempted to do a flip, but failed to land properly.

He hit the water hard and never re-surfaced.

"He's a jokester. At first we thought he was joking, but then he wasn't com-ing up whatsoever," said Elliott. "We dove in the water, but by then it was too late."

Elliott said they'd only known each other for a month, but that they hit it off right away.

"He's a friendly man so we've just come to pay our respects before the family comes out here," said Elliott. "It's devastating, especially having so much fun and the fun turns to trag-edy."

He described Greveling as "down-to-earth" and a bit of a redneck. His attitude was, "Take me as I am, or if you don't like me, get lost," said Elliott. "The whole crew took a liking to him."

RCMP and Revelstoke Search & Rescue conducted a search of the area that evening, with no signs of Grevel-ing. The search continued on Thurs-day until his body was recovered about 20 metres from shore in 12 metres of water by the RCMP dive team Thurs-day evening.

The BC Coroners Service is inves-tigating the incident.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is spending $3.5 million a day to fight forest fires around the province, with the total for the year past $106 million and headed higher.

The government is bracing for bills that could reach $250 million by the end of the summer, depending on weather and the number of fires that threaten homes. B.C. has brought in firefighters from Ontario, Alberta and New Brunswick, and issued several evacuation orders by the mid-point of the summer season.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong asked for B.C. residents to take all pos-sible precautions and observe camp-fire bans through August. About 40 per cent of B.C. forest fires are human caused, with most of the rest started by lightning strikes.

Forest fire spending is already approaching totals for the last two

years. Highs in the past decade are $382 million in 2009 and $371 million in 2003, when fires damaged Kelowna and Barriere.

“The possibility of the fire season consuming a quarter billion tax dollars is real,” de Jong said. “Whilst there is no issue about spending the money, it has to come from somewhere, so that’s a cost item that’s looking like it will be considerably more than what had been hoped for.”

Fire activity in the Revelstoke area has been minimal this year, with many small fires, but only one fire – on Kin-basket Lake northwest of Golden – has grown to more than 10 hectares in size. Most of the current fire activity in the Southeast Fire Centre is located in the southern portion of the region.

On Monday, the fire danger rating throughout the southeast was a mix of moderate and high, with pockets of extreme. With no rain in Environment Canada’s long-term forecast, the dan-ger rating should remain high.

Shuswap TrailRiders make adaptive hike to Eva Lake

Debra McDonald and her mother Pat Gauthier went for a hike to Eva Lake on Saturday. No big deal, except for the fact they both have multiple sclerosis and are unable to walk.

Instead, they got there with help from the Shuswap TrailRider Adap-tive Adventure Society and 20 vol-unteers from Revelstoke and Salmon Arm.

They used TrailRiders to get there — basically a wheelchair designed for hiking trails. A TrailRider has one seat and one wheel and is propelled by two sherpas — one at the front and one at the back. More people can help out on steeper terrain.

“It was pretty awesome,” said McDonald, who made her first trip to Eva Lake since she was a youth, when she could walk. “It’s not a flat trail by no means. It was a test.”

The two TrailRiders were pur-

chased for about $7,200 each by the society last year and are avail-able for rent in Salmon Arm.

The Eva Lake hike was set up to demonstrate the equipment along the trail. “I was trying to get it out there for people in Rev-elstoke to see,” said McDonald.

“They can rent the ones I have if they want to, or they can go ahead and purchase them.”

The volunteers consisted of Ashley and Katherine Lady-man, Dan and Sabrina Gauthier, Crystal Johnson, Grant McDon-ald, Jason and Logan Ancell, Jor-

die Anderson, Kim Floyd, Laurel Corrigan; Lisa, Todd, Bailey and Brooklyn Embryk; Paula Hill, Tom Madlung, Colin Pike and Lisa Larson.

For more information, visit www.shuswaptrailrider.com of the society’s Facebook page.

Incommapleux area heli-skiing operation rejected

Plans for a heli-skiing opera-tion in the Incommapleux River area have been rejected, but the proponent was given permission to build a ski touring lodge in the area.

Icefall Lodge, a ski touring operation based in the Rocky Mountains north of Golden, applied for a 31,480 hectare heli-skiing tenure in the Incomma-

pleux area in November 2012. The company also applied to

build a backcountry ski touring lodge that would be based on Bat-tle Mountain, which sits at the confluence of Battle Creek and the Incommapleux River.

The heli-skiing proposal was rejected but the ski touring lodge approved in a decision posted by the Integrated Land Management Bureau at the end of June.

Amongst the reasons given for the rejection was that the pro-

posed tenure would overlap with existing operations and that the area is part of a major park pro-posal put forward by several envi-ronmental groups.

"The application for heli-ski-ing does not adequately address the impacts of mechanized skiing on wildlife and ecological values for cumulative effects," states the notice from the ILMB. "There are unique ecological characteristics including old growth forests and temperate rain forest within the

area identified for heliskiing."The decision to approve the ski

touring lodge states "no significant impact on the environment has been identified by mandated agencies."

Anne Sherrod, the spokesperson for the Valhalla Wilderness Society, disagrees. While she was happy with the decision to reject the heli-skiing proposal, she said the lodge was the "most damaging" and would have the biggest footprint.

"Of the two parts of the proposal we would have said the lodge was the most damaging to wildlife," she said. "It's in an area where all things point it to being high quality grizzly bear hab-itat."

She said the society made a sub-mission to the ILMB highlighting the

impact of existing heli-ski operations and backcountry lodges in the area.

"We're very glad the ILMB recog-nized the cumulative impacts in the reasons they cited for turning down the heli-skiing," she said. "I think that's very laudable."

Sherrod was also happy the Selkirk Mountain Caribou Park proposal was noted in the rejection. "The fact they took that into consideration and con-sidered it one of the values in exis-tence on the ground was very impor-tant to us."

The backcountry skiing lodge is set to be located on Battle Mountain at an elevation of 1,575 metres. It will be able to house 16 guests for guided and catered week-long ski trips.

This year is shaping up to be a very busy year for bear con-� icts, says WildSafeBC coordi-nator Sue Davies.

“Already this year we have had 67 reports of bears in town, nearly twice as many as the total count last year, and we are not even into the really busy time yet,” she said.

Most of the reports involve bears into either garbage or cherry trees. “For a week or two there, the phone was going non-stop with people com-plaining that there was a bear in their cherry tree,” said Davies. “I had to keep telling people over and over, the bear is there because the fruit is there. If you don’t want the bear, harvest your fruit.”

The problem many peo-ple have is that their fruit tree is enormous — too tall and a huge job to harvest. So, prune the tree. A tree that is well pruned can still provide good

shade, and the up side is that the fruit is likely to be much higher quality, as well as being far easier to harvest.

“We need to be more pro-active about our fruit trees. Leaving food including fruit for the bears is actually an offence under the Wildlife Act, as well as a signi� cant dan-ger to people in the neighbour-hood, and the ultimate cause of many instances of bears being destroyed,” said Davies. “Now plum and apple season is com-ing up fast and people need to be responsible for their fruit.”

The Conservation Of� cers from Golden and Vernon are active here in town and have set several bear traps in areas where bears have become food conditioned, although no bears have yet been caught. Conser-vation Of� cers have the power to issue � nes to those people who consistently allow wildlife access to food such as rotting fruit or garbage on their prop-erty. So far they have not issued any � nes, but the likelihood is

that they will need to take some action if residents don’t look after their fruit and garbage.

If you don’t want all your own fruit, consider taking the excess to the food bank (open 8am on Friday mornings at the Legion on Garden St), or adver-tise it on the Stoke List as pick-your-own. If you are unable to harvest your tree, please call the Gleaning Project (250 837 8624) and volunteers will har-vest the fruit and take it to the food bank for you.

WildSafeBC will be also conducting garbage tagging over the next few weeks to remind people that garbage should be kept secure from wildlife at all times and only be at the curb from 6am to mid-night on the day of collection.

For more information on managing wildlife attractants please visit www.wildsafebc.com. To report wildlife sight-ings or con� icts with wildlife please call the RAPP line at 1-877-952 7277.

Jim Browning’s fantastical tales of Revelstoke

It was a yet another sweltering hot sum-mer day in Revelstoke last week and after suf-fering in the heat for most of it, Jim Brown-ing decided it was time to go to the beach. He got together with some friends and they left the Log Broadcasting Centre at First and Main, and crammed into his truck and drove up north to Lake Revelstoke.

There, they went for a swim, they listened to the birds and caught some fish. Tuber Prop-agator, Revelstoke’s oldest citizen, stopped by to sell them ice cream and sing a song. Another friend dropped by in his helicopter.

Of course, none of this actually happened. The Log Broadcasting Centre is just a studio in Browning’s home where he broadcasts an online radio show every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9 p.m.

He is the host of Canadian Content with Revelstoke Jim, a show that’s on the Great American Broadcast Network, or GABNet, an online station run by veteran American talk radio host Alex Bennett.

The friends on Browning’s trip to the lake were his loyal listeners that call in almost every show and talk to him via Skype — what he calls the citizen panel. It gives the show an inti-mate, conversational feel; a group of friends hanging out and chatting, but broadcast for the world to hear. “When you see these people face to face on Skype, it’s like having a con-versation with friends in your living room,” he says. “You see them get excited about a sub-ject, and that sparks another idea.”

***Browning is probably best known in town as

the former organizer of the Revelstoke Radio Players, a local group that staged monthly radio plays around town for several years last decade.

He has an jocular, friendly demeanour, with a goofy chuckle and booming voice. A friend told me about his radio show, so I sent Brown-ing an e-mail saying I’d like to do a story about it. A few days later, he walked into the Times Review office; even though we’d never met, he was instantly recognizable, probably due to his online profile that I’d seen (he’s an avid Twitter use). Without much prompting, he went into his history in online broadcasting that dates to the late-90s, when such a thing barely existed.

Browning grew up in Vancouver and spent some time working in the theatre business and in film in the 1980s. He moved to Revel-stoke with his wife Theresa (who teaches art at the high school) in 1993. He was doing some freelance writing and working in construction when in 1998 he started corresponding with someone on the Internet about old-time radio shows.

“I had no idea who he was but American radio listeners, they knew him,” he said.

The man was Alex Bennett and he was working with a software and hardware com-

pany called Play Incorporated that was about to embark on a bold new experiment — online broadcasting. And not just audio, but video as well.

This was in the early days of the Internet, before streaming and YouTube and podcasts. Napster was just taking off and wasn’t yet cas-tigated as evil by the music industry. Dial-up was still the most common way of accessing the world wide web. The dot-com boom was just starting.

When it came time for Bennett to do the first broadcast, Browning listened in to let them know if it worked. “He gave out the phone number the next day, but nobody phoned him because nobody was listening. So I phoned him.”

Bennett and Browning kept e-mailing and a week later, Browning was asked if they could try to get a signal from Revelstoke to their servers so it could be broadcast.

“I played some music, told some stories, and they said, ‘Great, we’d like you to do some more of that with us,’” said Browning.

The folks at Play Incorporated were impressed — not only did the technology work, but they also liked Browning’s impromptu show so much they asked him to be a host.

“It was just something about him. I have a sixth sense about these things,” said Bennett. “I can tell when people have something to bring

to the table. I found him to be different, I found him to be very theatrical in nature and I just trusted his instincts. I was right from the get go.”

The network that was put together was called PlayTV. The station used a machine called the Globecaster to create video images. It was an early form of web television and def-initely ahead of its time.

A studio was set up in Browning’s home. Green-screen technology was used to display the images for the video. He had a log cabin displayed behind him — the fictitious Log Broadcasting Centre at First and Main. All the equipment was crammed into a tiny room inside his home, which he still uses as his stu-dio.

The show was called Definitely Not the CBC with Revelstoke Jim. It was interactive; listeners could call in or send messages via ICQ, the pioneering online messaging service. From there, he would share stories of Revel-stoke — or at least his version of it.

***Jim Browning’s Revelstoke isn’t quite like

the real Revelstoke. For one, the mayor isn’t a former forestry official — he’s a short Italian barber named Tony Pepado.

For another, there’s no Mackenzie Avenue — just Main Street. The radio station provides the bear report called Paw & Order where it

lets people know where the bears are in town, and there’s an event called the running of the moose.

He likened it to Mayberry — the fictional town from the Andy Griffith Show.

“It has that friendliness, but occasionally there would be a bear walking down the mid-dle of the street,” says Browning. “In my Rev-elstoke you can still go down to the river and catch a paddlewheeler and go somewhere.”

His listeners are mostly American, so he can make up stories about his semi-fictional home. To make sure he doesn’t upset anyone, he avoids using real names or mentioning local businesses.

The show is inspired by classic radio shows. It’sessentially Browning talking and telling stories — some of it make-believe, some it true.

PlayTV was a big deal and Browning was flown around the U.S., doing the show from New Orleans, Las Vegas, New York and else-where. Because of the technology, he could always pretend he was in Revelstoke.

Like many other web companies, PlayTV died in the early 2000s. It rode the dot-com boom and died when it busted. Browning found himself without a home. He kept up his show on his website OwlProwl.com and for a

Jim Browning inside his home studio. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

When Zachary Rogers was a young boy growing up in Revel-stoke, he would run around the house, dancing to music.

“I’ve been attracted to dance since I was very little,” he told me. “When the music was on, I would run around the house and do what I thought was dancing at that age.”

Rogers, now 19, has turned that love of dance into a life as a ballet dancer. This week, he is off to Tal-linn, the capital of Estonia, to be part of the Estonian National Ballet.

“The company there has quite a large repertoire of classical works that I’ve always wanted to dance,” he said. “They’re performing some of my favourite ballets next season and they do a lot of performances.”

Rogers was born in Vancouver and moved to Revelstoke not long after with his family. His father Bob was the band teacher at Revelstoke Secondary School (and still plays jazz trombone) and Zach took piano lessons for a few years, but his real passion was dance.

“I remember being really inspired by a broadcast of the Nut-cracker in grade three,” he said.

He took jazz and tap lessons with Just For Kicks for a few years until one teacher suggested he take up ballet. In grade seven he took classes in Revelstoke and the fol-lowing year his parents would drive him to the Shuswap two or three times a week for classes there.

It was while at the Shuswap Bal-let School that he was encouraged to spend a month in July 2008 at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School — one of the top ballet schools in Canada. After a month there, he was accepted into the school full time starting in grade nine. He never looked back.

“My mum always said she expected me to call her on the phone crying, saying I wanted to come home right now,” he said. “She said she would take me home at any time but I just loved it so much.”

In Winnipeg, Rogers was sur-rounded by fellow ballet lovers. Instead of being the only boy in his class, he was with other kids his age with the same passion. He was a late-bloomer in ballet and had to work hard to catch up, putting in extra work to reach the level of his peers. His days consisted of bal-let classes in the morning, followed by academics in the afternoon, then more classes at the ballet school. He graduated with distinction and won several prestigious awards.

It was there that he knew ballet was what we wanted to do for a liv-ing. “It opened up a lot of interest in me for all aspects of the art,” he said. “I think it’s the musicality of the art. It’s still very physical and athletic, but you can express your-self through music without having to speak. You just have to use move-ment, which I’ve always liked.”

Rogers spent four years at the Winnipeg Ballet School, then one

year in the post-secondary aspiring program in 2012-13. In February 2013 he auditioned for the Prix de Lausanne ballet competition, where he became one of 20 finalists out of more than 250 applicants. There. he performe a classical piece from Swan Lake, and a contemporary dance by the choreographer Jorma Elo.

That May, he attended the Assemblee Internationale, a ballet festival at Canada’s National Bal-let School in Toronto. He was able to interact with ballet schools from around the world, and perform in a contemporary ballet with the National Ballet School of Cuba.

“It was quite a different style than I was used to,” he said. “It was quite modern — not very classical, which was a nice challenge.”

From there, he was invited to attend the John Cranko Schule in Stuttgart, Germany, which opened him up to the European ballet world. It was a two year program, but during his first year, he decided to join a professional company. He auditioned for eight different com-panies throughout Europe, when he was finally offered a contract by the Estonian National Ballet.

“They’re quite a classical com-pany, from what I’ve seen, but they do a lot of contemporary work as well,” he said.

Rogers said he prefers classical works because it’s how he got inter-ested in ballet in the first place. Clas-sic ballets include famous dances like the Nutcracker, Swan Lake and many more that were established and popularized throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. It’s the style most thought of when ballet is men-

tioned — girls in tutus and men in white pants doing very precise, ele-gant movements.

The challenge today is to bring your own style into the dances and not just mimic what’s been done in the past.

“It’s something I’m still learn-ing to be comfortable with, is bring-ing something of myself to a role, and not just doing the steps,” Rog-ers said.

Still, he said he’s getting more interested in contemporary ballet, which is increasing in popularity.

Rogers said his strength as a dancer is his flexibility and the cleanliness of his dancing, while he doesn’t do as well when it comes to jumps.

“I’m very clean, but I’m not someone who has lots of tricks,” he said. “There are dancers of both kinds in the professional world and you just have to accept that.”

Rogers was set to leave for Tal-linn on August 7, giving him a few days to adjust to life in a new city and culture before rehearsals begin on August 12. The next perfor-mance season starts in September and they will be doing a mix of clas-sical and contemporary works.

“Joining a company, I know everything I have to know,” he said. “Now I have to focus on perfor-mance experience.”

His ultimate dream is to dance in Russia, where the art is taken most seriously and ballet dancers are celebrities. He auditioned for a company in St. Petersburg, but hadn’t heard back by the time he accepted the offer in Tallinn. “St. Petersburg is a city I’d love to dance in and live in some day.”

Singletrack Six champions crowned

After six days and 250-kilo-metres in the saddle, Kris Sned-don and Kate Aardal emerged as the big winners of the TransRock-ies Singletrack Six mountain bike race in Revelstoke on Thursday.

"I'm pretty smoked. I'm ready to relax and drink some beers," said Sneddon after crossing the � nish line following the 47-kilo-metre � nal stage in Revelstoke.

Sneddon came � rst in Revel-stoke in a time of 2:35:37. The Kona team rider won � ve out of six stages, to � nish almost nine minutes ahead of his teammate Cory Wallace in the overall stand-ings. Matt Hadley � nished third overall.

Aardal dominated the wom-en's race, winning � ve out of six stages and � nishing more than 30 minutes ahead of runner up Mical Dyck. The � nal stage was a close one, with only 65 seconds sepa-rating the two women. Jodie Wil-lett � nished third overall.

"I'm a little bit surprised," said Aardal as she relaxed by the sprinkler following the race. "I went hard and Mical pushed me to my limits. It's always good to have someone push you."

Amongst the Revelstoke con-tingent, Chris Bovard � nished 21st in the open men category —

1:37 ahead of Bart Jarmula, who was 22nd. The two riders were neck and neck for most of the race, with Bovard pulling ahead in the � nal stage. Jarmula said he had chain issues early in the stage, costing him time.

"Forty people passed me who were going slower than I should be, then I had to work really hard to pass them. That really took a lot of energy," said Jarmula. "I'm ready to put my feet up."

On the women's side, Meghan Tabor � nished 13th, Cindy Malo-ney was 17th, Amanda Macin-tosh was 18th, Courtney Rennie was 20th, and Atsuko Knight was 24th. They all cracked the top 20 on their home course.

"It was great on home turf," said Rennie. "I thought it was going to be mentally challeng-ing to know every single trail, but it was a real advantage to know every single climb and every line to take. It was de� nitely a bonus."

The team of Amy Guidinger and Mick Stevenson � nished eighth in the mixed team group.

Thursday's � nal stage saw the 300 racers take off in a mass start in Grizzly Plaza as the thermom-eter climbed to a high in the mid-30s. They � ew up Mackenzie Avenue, turning right onto Third Street and then making their way across the Big Eddy Bridge, to Highway 23 South, and � nally

ducking into the Mount Macpher-son trail network at the Flow-down entrance.

From there, they had a tough climb out in the sun to Beaver Lake, followed by a long sec-tion of single track that brought them over to the Nordic Lodge and across the highway to lower Macpherson trails.

The course bottomed out at Begbie Falls, from where the rac-ers had to climb up the Bluff Trail, back to the Nordic Lodge, and then up to the course's high point at the top of TNT. From there, it was back down, followed by another climb to the top of Flow-down, where the timed descent began. They exited the trail net-work via Tantrum and then raced back into town, � nishing at Beg-bie View Elementary, where med-als, food, water, beer and a sprin-kler system awaited them.

"It was super fun, � owy, per-fect, hot," said Aardal.

The race started on Saturday in Bragg Creek, Alta. It then moved on to Nipika Resort, Invermere, two days in Golden, before wrap-ping up in Revelstoke.

"Now I'll just enjoy the rest of the summer," said Rennie. "Back to relaxing biking."

Full results can be found on the Singletrack Six website.

New Steamer record

Jordan Cheyne took more than two minutes off the Mount Revelstoke Steamer hill climb record in the return of the race on Sunday. Cheyne, 23, an up-and-coming pro cyclist who lives in Kelowna, conquered the 26-kilometre climb in 1:06:59 — beating the old record of 1:09:13 set by David Gonda in 2012. The Steamer returned after a one-year hiatus, with 43 road riders powering their way up the winding climb. Olav Stana, 59, won the men’s 40+ category in a time of 1:13:04 — good for second overall. Marg Feydna was the top woman, finishing in a time of 1:32:33. 43 cyclists took part in the Steamer, which is organized by Flowt Bikes. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

The Revelstoke Aquaducks had another great regionals in Kelowna this year, qualifying almost every swimmer in attendance for the upcoming BC Summer Swim Asso-ciation provincial championships to be hosted in Kamloops in two weeks. Including relays, the Ducks quali-fied 46 athletes, with 29 of those also qualified to swim individual events. The ducks sent a total of 50 swim-mers eligible to qualify for provin-cials.

Attending their first-ever provin-cials this year are Division 1 swim-mers Autumn Griffith-Doyle, Mon-ica Parkin, Madeleine Hobgood, Murdoch Tegart, Bence Berkenbosch and William Hobgood; Division 2 swimmers Sani Supinen and Eliza-beth McDowell; Division 3 swim-mers Sara Supinen, Paige McKenzie, Morgan Tegart and Maya McDowell; Division 4 swimmer Logan Marcolli, and Division 5 swimmer Leif Carn-egie.

Three new club records were set. Jackson Litke finally broke the D4 boys 50m butterfly after a season of creeping towards it. Beth Granstrom broke the 100m freestyle record for D4 girls, and Nolan Gale broke his father’s 30-year-old D4 boys 100m freestyle record in preliminaries, though Litke would better it in finals in a close race that afternoon.

Many club records were also bet-

tered: Devyn Gale improved her D2 girls 50m fly, Ryder Litke his D1 boys 50m fly and Brynn Hoshizaki her D4 girls 50m free. Jackson Litke bettered his 100m back to not only a new club record, but a regional record as well, while James LeB-uke did the same in his boys D4 200m indi-vidual medley. Beth Granstrom’s new 100m free record was also a new regional record, as was her 200m IM and 100m back. She com-pleted her domina-tion of D4 girls in the Okanagan Region by winning the 50 fly, her fourth in four events.

Many Ducks won their events without breaking any records other than their own, such as Kayln Gale, Madeleine Hobgood, Tye Hoshizaki, Hunter Stewardson, Alex Jay, Gina Cinelli, Nadia Salon, Julia Gow, Cam Molder, and coaches James Pilla, Emily Pfeiffer and Eliza McGuire.

With such a spectacular outing, it is little wonder that the Revelstoke Aquaducks finished as well as they did as a team. Despite having half the swimmers as the hosts, the Kelowna Ogopogos, the Revelstoke Aqua-ducks won the boys category and came second in the girls for a sec-

ond overall finish. For the first time in their history, the Ducks won the top team with points per swimmer, with an average of more than 60 points per swimmer, which is more than 3 points more than the second placed team. A large part of the success of the Ducks can be traced back to the domination of their relays, which fin-ished in the top two in all but three of the 24 relays entered. This perhaps defines the Revelstoke Aquaducks’s season the best: wherever the compe-tition, if a team of Ducks were there, they would be aiming for the top.

Congratulations to all the Ducks who have extended their season!

Lynnette Percher

Lynnette Percher's family and friends were shocked and saddened by her sudden death on July 11, 2014. She is survived by her daughter Brandi and her husband Corey of Edmonton, sons Keifer and Josh of Winnipeg, and their father Kelly Percher of Winnipeg, mother Marlis of Revelstoke, sister Phyllis and her husband Ross of Revelstoke and brother Dale of Edmonton as well as many nieces and nephews, aunts & uncles. She is predeceased by her sister Dianne, brother Marlon, and her father Phillip.

Lynnette Irene Mitchell was born on April 7, 1965, to Marlis and Phillip Mitchell. She was the youngest of five children. The family settled in White Rock for most of Lynnette's younger years where life was carefree in the small beachfront retirement town. In 1979, work opportunities brought the family to Edmonton where Lynnette went to Strathcona high school and graduated in 1982. Lynnette married Kelly Percher in 1986 and they had three children. She worked at the University Hospital in Edmonton for 15 years while raising her family. In the later years Lynnette chose Revelstoke to be her home where she could be closer to her mom and her sister following some turbulent years involving family tragedies.

Lynnette loved Revelstoke and the small town lifestyle it offered. She loved the mountains, the river and especially the people and in turn she was loved by so many. She made a home at Monashee Courts and volunteered at the food bank, a position she took very seriously. She was a hard and dedicated worker and often shared heartfelt stories of how much she enjoyed the families who frequented the food bank, especially the ones with little children.

We remember Lynnette for her genuine smile, her sense of humour, and her blatant honesty. If she felt it, she said it and you never had to wonder what Lynnette was thinking. Lynnette loved music and especially her tambourines. She played the guitar as well as the harmonica. A common bond for Lynnette with her mom and sister was the American Idol show, in fact Lynnette predicted who was going to win two years in a row and this spring had the opportunity to see her favourite idol, Phillip Phillips, live in concert for her birthday. Lynnette will be remembered for her eternal youthful spirit and how she would talk to everyone she met. A trip to Coopers with mom could turn into an all day affair.

The last years of Lynette's life were enriched by living in Revelstoke among family, friends and her cat Freddy. She attended her daughter’s graduation from nursing school and her wedding last October, spending time with Brandi, Keifer and Josh (or Joshy as Lynette called him). She learned this spring that she would become a first time grandmother... And if prompted, would tell you that 50 is too young to be a grandma!

A service was held for Lynnette on Thursday July 24th at the Baptist Church.Messages of condolence may be sent to the family by visiting Lynette’s obituary notice at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com.

In honour of Lynnette, we share this Kundalini farewell blessing,

May the long time sun shine upon you,All love surround you,

And the pure light within youGuide your way on.

“Large crowds daily gather around the Mail-Herald bulle-tin boards where twice daily are posted the latest cable dis-patches on the war situation.” This article from the August 5, 1914, issue of the Mail-Her-ald spoke of the outbreak of war. Throughout the years of conflict, the Mail-Herald and its newly-formed competi-tor, The Revelstoke Review would keep the local citizens apprised of war news.

The coming of war had been a topic of concern for the days preceding the announce-ment by Britain that it would join the conflict. The minis-ter of the Revelstoke United Church, Reverend W. Lashley Hall, noted on Sunday evening August 1, that he had hoped that even at this late hour war could be averted. He men-tioned that his congregation members “…could be proud of the part played by the Brit-ish government during the pro-longed crisis in trying to bring about an understanding. If need arose, in the hour of dan-ger, we could with a clear con-science all stand together in the breach.”

The news of war was greeted with excitement and plans were begun for an imme-diate mobilization of volun-teers from the Rocky Moun-tain Rangers, which had a company of militiamen here. After the South African cam-paign at the beginning of the century, citizen militias in Canada enjoyed a period of growth and enthusiasm. Our local drill hall (currently

Trans-Canada Fitness) was built in 1902 to accommodate the growing number of young men who wished to experience the military life. These militias provided the first group of vol-unteers.

The volunteers had to be between the age of 18 and 45, at least 5 feet 3 inches tall, with a chest expansion of not less than 31.5”, skilled in musketry, and pass a phys-ical examination by Dr. Ham-ilton, the local physician. By August 12 the Mail Her-ald recorded a list of 69 men who had answered the call of the King to the defense of the realm. Out of this first list of 69 men, 11 would not return to Canada. Numerous others on this list would be wounded.

The first duty of these vol-unteers was to guard the rail-way bridges east and west of town. Some were sent to Kam-loops for training and from there deployment to Valcartier, Quebec, 16 miles northwest of Quebec City, the mobiliza-tion point for the first Cana-dian Contingent of volunteers. By Sept. 8, 100 special trains had brought in almost 33,000 volunteers. So many volun-teers rushed to the colours that applications were cut off one week later. It was said that so many civil servants in Victo-ria were wishing to enlist that a tremendous strain was being put upon the already depleted workforce.

The Mail-Herald, in its August 29 edition, stated that 30 recruits from Revelstoke had been accepted into the First Contingent of Canadian troops to go to England. These recruits came to be known as

the First Contingent. The Sep-tember 2 edition of the Mail-Herald carried the story of the reception that this first contin-gent of Revelstoke volunteers received when they passed through Revelstoke on August 30 on their way to Valcartier.

The departure of all these men was a significant event for the community of Rev-elstoke. Throngs of people assembled at the train station to give a hearty farewell to the Revelstoke “boys.” All the stu-dents of Central and Selkirk Elementary Schools, and the high school massed together and saluted the arrival of the train with “hearty cheers and the waving of many flags.” The city band played and the civic guard was in attendance. There was much “…singing of patriotic songs…” and “…the roar of welcome from the crowd on the platform made a

scene of animation and enthu-siasm which will long be remembered by all those who witnessed it.”

The Revelstoke volun-teers “disembarked from the train and marched in front of the children and gave hearty cheers for Revelstoke. Each man was presented by the Women’s Relief Society with a case containing socks, darning cotton, and other requisites. A box of Okanagan apples was also placed on the car. Many flowers and other gifts were made to the soldiers. Tele-grams of thanks were sent back to town from points east, thanking the people of Revel-stoke for their generosity. This particular sendoff was a very joyous occasion but later edi-tions of the paper would note that sendoffs later in the war would note the teary eyes as the train left the station.

August 4 marked 100 years since the United Kingdom declared war on Germany, bringing Canada along with it. In an ongoing series, the Times Review and the Revelstoke Museum & Archives will look at Revelstoke during WW1. We will look at the soldiers who went off to fight and the impact the war had on the community.

few years, he brought his love of old-time radio to Revelstoke audi-ences through the Revelstoke Radio Players. They put on live perfor-mances of shows like War of the Worlds, Casablanca and the Lone Ranger. Browning would transcribe the scripts and put together the sound effects. One year they put on a series

of 10 performances during Railway Days.

Some of those shows, along with a few old PlayTV shows, are available on the Owl Prowl site.

He tried to get work in radio, but had no luck. He attempted to start an online station but couldn’t find any-one to partner with him. One execu-tive called him to let him know why he wouldn’t get work. “Nobody’s

going to hire you because you’re cre-ative,” he was told. “Radio doesn’t want creative people. They are a machine that gets stuff done.

“What you want to do is too cre-ative.”

Eventually he burnt out from doing the radio players, and health issues made him take a step back.

***Last year, Browning got a call

from his old friend Alex Bennett. Bennett, now in his 70s, was start-ing up a new online station called the Great American Broadcast Network, and he wanted Browning to host a show.

“When I started doing this, one of the first people I got a hold of was Jim,” said Bennett.

Browning agreed to do three nights a week. He renamed the show

Revelstoke Jim’s Canadian Content and this time around it was just audio.

The new show was launched in January and picks up where Defi-nitely Not the CBC left off, but there are little differences. For one, instead of ICQ, Browning reads messages from Twitter. Instead of people phon-ing in, they call up via Skype. This allows up to 10 people to join in on the same call; they can see each other,

share stories and tell jokes.Browning’s listen-

ers are from all over the United States and Can-ada. On Monday, he tells stories and on Friday it’s more of a free flowing conversation with his call-ers on Skype. On Wednes-day, he does what he calls the adventure show.

“It’s me doing an old-time radio show for the entire show,” he said. “I take people on trips. I use sound effects, I use vocal effects. I turn off the cam-era so they can’t see me and I take them from the Log Broadcasting Centre.”

On one show he launched the first ever pri-vate spacecraft from Rev-elstoke. On another, they patrolled Lake Revelstoke in a submarine to protect the lake from Albertan party boaters. On another show they went for a trip underneath Revelstoke.

Browning brought back Tuber Propagator from his old show and gave him a humourous Twitter account.

“He’s ornery and can-tankerous. It’s just me but people love to hear from him,” he said.

Browning sees his role to regale people, make them laugh and let them relax before they go to bed.

“I try to talk about just life and anything that comes into my head,” he said. “Small town life, comparing it to things in the big city. I tell stories about my Revelstoke, not the real Revelstoke.”

The show is broadcast live on GABNet,net, and is also available to listen to as a podcast on iTunes. The station can be heard using a smartphone app. Bennett said about 12,000 people download the pod-cast every month, a few thousand listen in live.

Bennett told me Browning brings “great honour to Revelstoke.”

“I think at times the show is pure magic, espe-cially on Wednesday when he does his adven-ture nights,” said Bennett. “It’s like old-time radio with the sound effects and everything. Really, it just works.”
