128 people came out for the Style Trend summer fashion show on Friday. Held outdoors, under cover of a tent, on Campbell Avenue, the show saw 15 models strut the runway in front of a crowd of mostly women. The fashion show was hosted by Style Trend, the local clothing store, and showcased many items avail-able at the store. It was mostly female-focused, but there were two male models who walked the runway.Diane Bull, who organized the event, said the turnout exceeded her expectations. People are clamoring for a follow-up, she added.The show was put on in partnership with New Horizon Produc-tions, Deja Vu Model Management, 1st Impression Hair Salon,

Pharmasave Revelstoke, Sarah Mickel Photography and singer Jodi Pederson and her band. Pictured are:1. Revelstoke’s Willow Shewchuk models LLR Vintage and Gentle Fawn.2.

creating a forum for public debate.

BC Hydro is being pressured to step up enforcement on the Columbia River Flats south of Revelstoke.

Revelstoke city council is being asked to make two re-quests of the crown corporation relating to the area. The first is for BC Hydro to provide funding to hire an enforce-ment officer for the area. The second is to reconvene the advisory committee for the area.

Both requests stem from a recent letter by the North Co-lumbia Environmental Society asking for a ban on motor-

ized recreation on the Flats.The first request comes from the City of Revelstoke's

Economic Committee. They want council to write a letter to BC Hydro asking for funding for additional enforcement services on the Flats.

The second request comes from the city's Environmental Advisory Committee. At its June 10 meeting, they forward-ed a resolution to council asking BC Hydro to reconvene the Upper Arrow Drawdown Zone Advisory Committee (UADZAC) following three years of idleness.

Council was set to consider both requests at its meeting on Tuesday, June 23, after press time.

Enforcement of regulations on the Flats has long been a thorny issue due to the mixed jurisdiction in the area. BC Hydro owns 63 per cent of the land, 34 per cent is consid-ered Crown land, and the rest is owned by various other stakeholders, including the City of Revelstoke and the Co-lumbia Shuswap Regional District.

Enforcement is done by different agencies. The Conser-vation Officer Service enforces fish and wildlife violations. The Ministry of Forests, Lands & Natural Resource Opera-tions can enforce violations of the Forest & Range Practices Act on Crown land, but not on private land. BC Hydro can pursue charges against people on its land under the Tres-pass Act.

However, there is no single set of rules or agency in charge of the whole area. That's where the UADZAC comes in. It was established to create a management plan for the area. According to a staff report by Alan Mason, the city's director of economic development, the plan was completed in 2005 but it never left draft form because some stake-holder groups didn't sign off on it.

A steering committee was formed to help implement the plan, but it hasn't met for three years. The city's Environ-mental Advisory Committee wants BC Hydro to reconvene the steering committee so it can renew its mission of ad-dressing issues on the Flats.

Loni Parker, the director for Area B Rural Revelstoke, has already penned a letter to BC Hydro asking for $125,000 to help with enforcement. "Recently, Revelstoke and Area lost our Conservation Officers as they were deployed to Golden and the RCMP does not have the mandate on BC Hydro lands or adequate manpower to deal effectively with Drawdown Zone complaints," Parker wrote. "Natural Re-source Officers will be able to deal with some of the issues but clearly we need a tailor made solution."

The Flats are a popular recreation are for Revelstokians during the Spring, however concerns have been raised over some activities like mud bogging, as well as the amount of trash left behind by campers and partiers.

The SPF number on sunscreens is a measure of how much UVB (sunburn-causing) radiation it blocks. Theoretically, a lotion with an SPF of 15 blocks about 93% of UVB rays. An SPF of 30 blocks about 97%. If you have fair skin and burn quite easily, that extra 4% will provide extra protection. However, the important point about sunscreens is to reapply after swimming or if you sweat a lot.

Weight-gain is one of the reasons people hesitate to stop smoking. However, the benefits of better heart

health far outweigh the gaining of 5-10 pounds. Stopping smoking also lowers risk of diabetes. So if you are thinking of breaking the tobacco habit, don’t worry about gaining a bit of weight. You will be healthier in the long term.

One good habit to get into during summer’s hot days is to drink water rather than sweetened soft drinks. One can of non-diet soft drink can contain sweetening products equal to up to 8 of those bags of sugar you find on restaurant tables. Water is a better choice to quench that

summer thirst.

The Heart & Stroke Foundation has a way to see how bad habits will affect the number of good years you have left. The loss in quality years of various bad habits were: physical inactivity: 4 years; poor diet: 3 years; excessive stress: 2 years; smoking: 2.5 years and excessive drinking: 2 years.

For more than a decade, Cathy English, the curator of the Revelstoke Museum & Archives, has been regaling people with tales of the community's history through her Brown Bag History talks.

Launched in 2003, English has given more than 200 lunch-hour talks on Revel-stoke history, covering everything from the town's founding to politics to business to sports.

Next week, the museum will be publish-ing Brown Bag History — Revelstoke Ori-gins, a 144-page collection of 12 of these stories, written by English.

The stories focus on the early history of Revelstoke, from the original First Nations inhabitants to the development of the com-munity. The stories look at how the town started out as Farwell, how a land dispute between its founder and CP Rail led it to shift to Mackenzie Avenue from Front Street, and why it was named after a Brit-ish lord.

There's the absurd story of how rival po-lice forces kept arresting each other's of-ficers, and the story of the smelter on the banks of the Columbia River. The book fea-tures many photos from the early days of the community, as well as four cartoons by Review cartoonist Rob Buchanan.

The soft-cover book will be launched at the museum next Thursday, June 25, from 3–5 p.m. You'll have the chance to buy a copy of the book, and get it signed by Cathy English. The Modern Bakeshop is providing a cake for the occasion.

The book sells for $20.***

We conducted a question-and-answer with English via e-mail. Here's what she had to say about the book:

Revelstoke Review: Why did you start doing the Brown Bag History talks? What was the first story you told?

Cathy English: Brown Bag History start-ed in April of 2003. The very first presen-tation was a talk by retired railroader Ernie Ottewell on railway history. The next talk, on May 7, 2003, was the first one present-ed by me and the topic was gardening and farming. At that time, we were fundraising for the Heritage Garden, which was under construction. We were holding a raffle and

this talk was presented before the raffle draw.

How do you decide what stories are worth telling? What's your favourite story?

When it comes to choosing the topics, I look at significant dates to see if there is anything that is coming up regarding an anniversary. Each year, I like to do a topic on what was happening in Revelstoke 100 years ago from the current year. I also look at topics that I think would be of interest, and topics that we have a lot of information on. I have enjoyed most of the talks that I have given – I would say there were only one or two that I didn’t find personally in-teresting. It’s hard to choose one favourite, but I do very much enjoy the stories of the Farwell Police War, and the Farwell dispute.

Why did you decide to write this book?I had the idea of creating a Brown Bag His-

tory book for some time, and with the sup-

port of our Board of Directors, we decided that this was a good time to move forward with this project. We have had great success with our two previous books, Reflections – Photographs by Earle and Estelle Dickey and First Tracks, and felt that it was a good idea to start putting some of my research into book form. This is another way for us to fulfill our mandate of sharing the history of Revelstoke.

This book contains 12 of more than 200 stories. How did you choose the stories for the book? Can we expect another 10 more to com-plete the collection?

We decided to produce a 144-page soft-cover book, so of course that limited the amount of material that could be included. We are looking at the possibility of a series of books, so with that in mind, I decided to choose a theme for about 10 potential books. The obvious first theme was on the

early development of Revelstoke, so for the first book, I chose stories that focused on the Farwell settlement and how Revelstoke came to be. The first chapter is on the Sinixt First Nation, which I felt was an important beginning to the book.

What stories from Revelstoke's history do you still want to tell?

There are still many stories to be told. I did one recently on Revelstoke pioneers and realized that I could easily do at least 10 more talks on that subject. I haven’t yet given talks on the communities of Donald or Beaton, so those will probably be upcom-ing presentations. Seeing that I have been doing the talks for 12 years, I have started doing some repeats if I am pressed for time, but I always appreciate the opportunity to do more research for new talks. I also wel-come ideas from our audience on what they would like to hear.

Quick witted and always smiling, Vera Aura has owned Johnny Fishing and Hunt-ing Supplies (JFH), also known as Johnny’s Service Centre, since 1964.

“When my (late) husband Johnny and I decided to move to Revelstoke from Kam-loops, we decided to buy our own business rather than look for work,” she says.

The couple came to Revelstoke to be close to Johnny's brother, and the store-front that became JFH was newly available after several incarnations as a gas station. The shop itself is a treasure trove of tackle, handmade flies and weighted buck tails made in Castlegar and Vernon; bait, a place to purchase your fishing licence; rods, and anything else a fisher person might need. They also have a few pellet guns and bows. “I try to be very competitive with my pric-ing,” Aura says. “Sometimes even with the big box stores. I try.”

In JFH's heyday, the Auras would shut their store for the early afternoon and go fish above the dam, catching rainbow, dollys and kokanee. When asked what fish was her favourite, Vera laughs. “Well. To eat, Kokan-ee. To catch, anything is fun!”

Though the shop was named after John-ny, Aura's love of fishing was fostered long before she owned a fishing store.

“I grew up south of Nakusp in the coun-try, a place called Hills,” she explains. “My siblings and I loved fishing. We would walk the railway tracks and head off into the Bo-nanza River, finding pools to fish in. You could see our tracks from the rail lines.”

Aura's mother was adamant her kids finished their chores before they ventured off. “Weeding the garden was one of them,” Aura laughs. “We would collect worms as we weeded. Then we'd find sticks, some string and an old hook or maybe a bent safety pin. It didn't matter; we would catch 12–24

small rainbow fish daily.”Now, Aura’s four grown children and their

families are scattered throughout B.C. and Alberta. All are successful in their fields. Aura credits this to the work ethic and math skills the children learned young while work-ing in their parents’ store. “They all had to work and help, and they all did,” she says.

Aura is certain they all enjoy fishing. “We would do family fishing trips from when they were very small,” she explains. “We'd have a pool of water nearby, so the fish the kids caught could go in it. Then the kids would play with them,” she smiled, “until they weren't fit for eating.”

Aura is a fountain of fishing knowledge, though with her unassuming demeanour she shrugs it off. During our chat I dis-covered kokanee prefer maggots and are tricky to catch at this time of year when you don't have a boat. “They are in a shoal in the middle of the lake right now,” she tells me. “Wait until it's closer to spawning time, when they start to go to the mouths of the creeks, then you can fish offshore.”

While owning and running the store has given Aura a wealth of happy memories, she is ready to sell and retire. The difficulty has been high property taxes; a deterrent for potential purchasers. “It's not easy be-ing my age with these kind of payments. If I didn't have my pension, well, it wouldn't be good,” she says honestly.

For now, Aura is looking for an employee, so she can go and fish herself sometimes. “Honesty is important, and if they have some fishing knowledge that would be nice, but fast learners are welcome too.”

Keep in mind when out fishing to bring your catch in to Aura. She'll weigh it, and every month the person behind the winning fish takes home a new hat. “Picture on the wall too,” Aura indicates the dozens of pic-tures adorning the walls showcasing people grinning as they hold up their catches.

“Fishing,” she muses. “It's a fun thing.”

There’s a new top manager at Revelstoke city hall.

Allan Chabot was hired as the City of Revel-stoke’s new Chief Administrative Officer, the city announced Friday morning.

“I am really looking forward to getting to work and live in Revelstoke and help the mayor and council achieve their goals,” he said in a news release. “I feel that the issues and opportunities facing mountain resort communities that include traditional resource-based employment are really in my wheelhouse and my experiences in Inver-mere, Golden and Fernie should serve me well. I want to immere myself again in mountain culture and be part of the great Revelstoke community.”

Chabot comes to the city from Merritt, B.C., where he has served as CAO for the past year. Be-fore that, he was CAO of Fernie, B.C., where he spent a decade in the post until being let go in September 2012. He has also worked in munici-pal government in Golden and Prince George. He was mayor of Invermere from 1988 to 1990 and an alderman prior to that.

“Allan’s wealth of experience and government knowledge will make him a key addition to the City of Revelstoke,” said Mayor Mark McKee in a news release. “I’m confident that Allan will play a key role in providing and implementing high quality leadership to accomplish the goals and objectives set by this new council.”

Chabot replaces Tim Palmer, who retired in February.

The city will be hosting a meet and greet with Chabot on Friday, Aug. 20, from 12-2 p.m.

CP Rail is being investigated for allegedly leaving a train parked east of Revelstoke without proper brakes being applied.

According to the CBC, Transport Canada investigators raided CP Rail's headquarters in Calgary in May as part of an investi-gation into the alleged failure to apply hand brakes on a train carrying dangerous goods, including oil.

The report is based on a search warrant filed in a Calgary court. CBC reporter Dave Seglins provided a copy of the war-rant to the Review.

The warrant was filed by Robert Blair, an inspector with Transport Canada, in an Alberta court on May 14. In it, he seeks permission to obtain rail traffic recordings from CP Rail.

The warrant alleges that Canadian Pacific and superintendent Mark Jackson violated the Rail Safety Act by leaving 57 rail cars unattended without the hand brakes applied on Feb. 15, 2015.

The alleged incident happened as CP Rail engineers and con-ductors were about to go on strike. According to the warrant, Train 401 was on its way west to Revelstoke when the crew were told to stop at Greely, 10 kilometres east, and uphill, of Revelstoke. Because of the impending strike, the crew radioed in to say there wasn't enough time to apply the handbrakes as required.

The call then came back to not apply the handbrakes. Accord-ing to the warrant, the order came from Jackson himself. The conductor, who was interviewed by Transport Canada inspec-tors in April, complied with the order. She notified her union representative, who forwarded her e-mail to Transport Canada.

The train was later moved without incident.Mayor Mark McKee said the report was a concern for the

community, but he wanted to see where the investigation leads. "I find it hard to believe they're going to leave a train with the

potential to run away into downtown Revelstoke," he said. "I find it hard to believe someone would do that deliberately."

Transport Canada spokesperson Sara Johnston confirmed the investigation was ongoing. She said the agency would not comment further on the alleged incident.

Martin Cej, the vice-president of public affairs for CP Rail, said the company was cooperating with Transport Canada.

"We'll continue to cooperate but as this is an ongoing investi-gation, we have no further comment," he said.

No charges have been laid. The allegations, if proven true, could result in a fine of up to $1 million, revocation of the Rail-way Operating Certificate, court orders and criminal prosecu-tion.

The allegations raise the spectre of another Lac Megantic, when improperly applied hand brakes led to a runaway train ex-ploding and destroying part of a Quebec community.

The City of Revelstoke will be mowing down part of a small meadow that has been the subject of a long-time dispute between neighbours.

Council voted in a closed door por-tion of its June 9 meeting to have staff mow the meadow next to Francis & Clara Maltby's home on Boyle Avenue, near the community centre.

The meadow sits on city property, along a walkway that connects Boyle Av-enue to Campbell Avenue and the com-munity centre.

"I guess it gets down to that we're in the middle of two neighbours that don't get along, that complain about each other. The difference here is the neighbours are complaining about a piece of prop-erty that's owned by the city," said Mayor Mark McKee.

The decision is a sore spot for the Malt-bys, who have been fighting the city and his neighbours in the Glacier Condos for years to preserve the meadow and the habitat it provides for birds, bees and other animals.

The dispute goes back to the early 1990s, when the Glacier Condos were built. Francis Maltby sent an e-mail to the Review containing the development per-mit, which says that nearby greenspaces would be maintained in their natural states. He says condo residents violated the permit by cutting down trees along the riverbank and mowing the park space behind their homes.

The Review approached Maltby about the matter but he would not speak on the record. He did copy us on a series of e-mails sent to the city. He said he will be taking up the matter with the provincial ombudsman.

He cited concerns about protecting bird and bee habitat, and also sent in a photo showing that the western toad, a blue listed species, uses the area.

His daughter Erica also took up the cause to preserve the small green space by starting up an online petition. 281 people signed the petition asking to have the space preserved.

"For me, it was taking human prefer-ence out of it and trying to recognize and save a greenspace that does play home to a lot of important little critters like the bee and the western spotted toad," she said.

Francis Maltby is notoriously combat-ive on many issues, so Erica said she got involved so people could separate the is-sue from her father.

"I had to lay it out to one of the council-lors to not mistake me for my father," she said. "This isn't about your team versus my team. It's about saving a greenspace that used to be a lot larger."

Erica said she spoke to two councillors and an official at city hall. She tried to present her petition, but was told she had to follow certain steps.

"This nice little ecosystem, that in many people's opinions is worth saving,

is being overlooked because of policies and procedures," she said. "People love it here because of how beautiful it is and how wild and environmentally friendly we are, but here we are mowing six feet of a really important ecosystem for blue listed species simply because a neighbour wrote a complaint."

The city will be mowing a six-foot wide buffer around the meadow. Francis Malt-by has been given two weeks to move any vegetation he wishes to keep.

Mayor McKee said that for council, it was a matter of not setting a precedent regarding unsightly premises.

"The underlying issue here is how do we tell somebody in Arrow Heights or Columbia Park to clean up their unsightly premise when we get complaints – and it's not just from the immediate neigh-bours – and it's our property," he said. "The last thing the city wants is to get into the middle of a neighbourhood com-plaining about something. It's even worse when the city owns that property."

Sitting in St. Peter's Anglican Church hall just after Sunday service has finished, vol-unteers Jan Feldinger, Edna-Mae Johnson, Alvina Charest, and Greta Speerbrecker reminisce about the time they spent volun-

teering at the St. Peter's Anglican Church Goodwill Thrift Shoppe.

After 10 years of being open and giving to the community of Revelstoke, the thrift store is closing.

“There are very few people to [volunteer] any more. It's time,” said Speerbrecker, who has volunteered with the store since it first

opened. While the four ladies are not the only volunteers, many are getting on in age and there are no younger volunteers to step forward to take on the task.

“Many volunteers do it out of the good-ness of their heart and for giving back to the community,” said Johnson. “Sometimes it's just for conversation, I consider that part of our outreach to the community.”

In fact, chatting with the four women, it becomes apparent that it is the conver-sations with people coming into the thrift store that hold the most memories.

“Quite often people wouldn't come down for a while, and then they'd come down just to see everybody,” said Feldinger.

“It's really about the people and their sto-ries,” said Johnson.

During its first days, the thrift store took up only a small part of the church base-ment.

“It grew over the years and took up the entire basement,” said Feldinger. In fact, when the thrift store started doing well, there were enough clothes to donate to oth-

er programs.“We bagged the recycled clothing and we

kept it in our garages until the Boys and Girls Club came once a month,” said Speer-brecker.

Some of the extra clothing was also do-nated to Ray Brosseuk to be sent to Africa, and to a man from Cuba who would take do-nations of clothing. Over the years, John-son said that the thrift store donated 1/3 of it's sales to help out various programs, many of them local.

Donations have been made to: the Revel-stoke Secondary School Breakfast Program, Revelstoke Women's Shelter, Community Connections Vitamin Program, Community Connections Healthy Snacks for Kids, Trees for Tots, Begbie View Elementary School Breakfast Program, Camp Owaissi, travel expenses for cancer patients, and Primate's World Relief and Development Fund.

St. Peter's Anglican Goodwill Thrift Shop-pe's last day of operation will be Tuesday, June 30 from 1-4 p.m. The public are invited to join for refreshments.

A new mural created by Revelstoke elementary school students has been unveiled at Revelstoke Secondary School.

The large, 12-by-15 foot mural, was created as part of the school district's Aboriginal Education program. It was spearheaded by in-structor Nadia McLaren, who used her art background to teach ab-original education.

"Coming from an art background, I had to figure out how I could jump into the program with something I was comfortable with, but also use as a tool and foundation for Aboriginal education," she said. "This is what we came up with.”

The mural features a map of Canada overlayed with various First Nations symbols. It shows the traditional language territories pre-contact with Europeans.

There is a large Thunderbird, which is considered a very power-ful entity in First Nations mythology. The Raven, who is featured in many stories, is included in the bottom right corner. The mural fea-tures seven feathers, representing the seven grandfathers who teach values of love, truth, courage, wisdom, humility, honour and respect.

The mural was divided into 10 panels. Four were created at Co-lumbia Park Elementary, four at Begbie View Elementary, and two at Arrow Heights Elementary.

It was showcased alongside about 100 works of art created by el-ementary school students.

“All the students worked with symbols that were appropriate to them and they just went for it," said McLaren. "What I love about the art work is how you can see the influence of the environment.”

The mural was unveiled on Thursday, June 18, three days before National Aboriginal Day. Lisa Moore, who runs the Aboriginal educa-tion program at the high school, said the day had special significance this year following the recent release of the Truth & Reconciliation Report. "We’re here to celebrate together. That seems to be a really good start to reconciliation," said Moore.

Golfers aim for 200 holes for ALS

Golf is normally a quiet, patient, calming sport. Crowds quiet and peace of mind is sought as players line up their shot.

Except when you're trying to play 200 holes in one day. Then it's full on. No practice swings, no marking the ball, and defi-nitely no waiting for your partner to putt.

“If you can’t keep up, we’ll just leave you behind. There’s no etiquette. It's gone," says Taylor Pearcey, who last year golfed 200 holes for the Golfathon for ALS. "Normally with golf I don’t want anyone to move, make a noise, be quiet. On the golfathon, you can be driving right behind and I’ll be in the middle of my swing. We’ll both be putting at the same time.”

The Golfathon for ALS is an annual fundraiser in which golf pros across British Columbia attempt to play as many rounds as possible to raise money for ALS research.

Last year, Pearcey and former Revelstoke Golf Club superin-tendent Greg Austin played 200 holes together, besting the pre-vious course record of 189 holes set by former pro John Franks in 2013.

This year, Pearcey, the club's men's captain, will be joined by club pro Dean Jackson as they attempt to match last year's re-sult for the annual fundraiser. That means golfing 11 rounds, plus two extra holes, in one day. It means starting at 4:30 a.m., or earlier, and playing by headlamp, if necessary. It means play-ing a round in about an hour, instead of the usual four.

They take up the challenge on Monday, June 29.

Pearcey said last year's effort was tiring, but he enjoyed every minute of it. "There wasn’t a point where I didn’t want to keep doing it anymore," he said.

For Jackson, this is the first time he's taken up the challenge in more than a decade. The last time he did it, he completed 10 rounds, he recalled.

“When I told Dean, he was a little scared," said Pearcey."I’ve done it before, but it’s been years," said Jackson. “We’re

going to give it a good go, we’re going to get it done. Taylor knows I play really fast.”

Jackson said the key will be to stay hydrated and eat well dur-ing the day. He also advised bringing an extra pair of socks and shoes. “I remember blisters last time I did it," he said.

Supporters can make donations to the cause at the Revelstoke Golf Club or through the Golfathon for ALS website. Pearcey said several club members will be joining them throughout the day, but he warned they'll have to move quickly or else they'll be left behind.

Golfers on the course will be warned of the event taking place. Pearcey said if there's a group ahead of them, they'll simply yell out, hope they get out of the way, and play through.

And if they have the chance to play more than 200 holes, they'll go for it.

“It would be fun to beat it, so we’ll see what happens," said Pearcey.

Pearcey and Jackson have their work cut out for them if they want to beat the world record. An Austrialian pro, Ben Berger set that mark when he played 612 holes in one day in 2010.

The Revelstoke Aquaducks had their second meet of the season this Father's Day weekend in Lumby. While fast swimming and tons of fun was the main focus of the weekend, to close out the meet a Father's Day relay was swam with parents and children that ended in lots of laughs for all.

The meet had many firsts for swimmers: Yorke Parkin made it through his first 50 meter breast-stroke and 50 meter butterfly without disqualifi-cation, and 6-year-old Mataya Willms swam her first full meet as a Division 1 instead of a Turtle like last year. While Willms is still eligible to swim as a Turtle due to her age, she chose to swim lon-ger and more challenging events. Miller Painter, a new Turtle in the Ducks organization, swam on his first relay with the assistance of coach Emily Pfeiffer; and Rebecca Brosch swam her first meet where she was entered in the maximum number of events.

Back from her injury was long-time Aquaduck Beth Granstrom, who swam her first race since breaking her wrist days before the start of the sea-son. Her sister Kate Granstrom also swam her first meet of the season after missing the Revelstoke meet for track and field provincials, and joined Brynn Hoshizaki in their first 100 meter butterfly.

Division 6 Claudia Cinelli also had an impressive first. After nearly a decade of swimming, Clau-dia out-swam all her age-mates in the 100 meter breaststroke to top an event for the first time in her career.

While there were no team points or aggregates, the Ducks congregated if not at the top, then near the top of the results postings all weekend in a mostly sunny and very successful meet.

Next weekend the Ducks will brave the heat and head to Kelowna for their first heats-and-finals competition of the season, where they hope to bring home some hardware and go even more best times.

REVIEW

Angelika Uremovich's view of sports can seem idealistic to many.

“I think sport is the universal language of the world," the former college soccer star told me.

I met Uremovich on a partly-cloudy Saturday morning during the Revelstoke car show, after she had just finished coaching a soccer clinic for local youth. We sat outside at the Modern and talked about her soccer career and her involvement with Olympism for Humanity, an organization that hopes to "build a peaceful and better world" by fos-tering sports, culture and education.

Uremovich is a former member of the Canadian national U17 soccer team. Her playing career was derailed by injuries, but she still enjoyed three strong seasons at the University of Louisville. The daughter of two Croatian immigrants, she began playing soccer at a young age, coached by her fa-ther.

It was at the age of 12 she dedicated herself to the sport and the goal of making the Ontario pro-vincial team. She was cut her first year but made it on her second try, eventually making it to the national team. Her efforts were featured in a CBC documentary called Girls of Summer.

“I saw this vision of playing for Canada and be-ing on that world stage," she said. “It also, I think, came from my love for my dad. I wanted to show and play for my parents because my parents were the most supportive people.”

Unfortunately, just before the team was about to head for a U17 World Cup qualifying tournament, she wrecked her knee, tearing her ACL, MCL, PCL and her hamstring. She thought she would make it back for the 2008 World Cup, but she was still in a straight-brace when it came around.

She opted out of surgery and was back on the field, getting ready for university, when she in-jured her knee a second time. She had to sit out the first year of her university soccer career. "The dream stayed alive but when I tore it again, it knocked a little out of me," she said.

It took several years for Uremovich to get back to a high level of play, but in her fourth year at school, she scored nine goals and captained her team. That's when she injured her knee a third time. Combined with a fractured vertebrae in her

back, she decided it was time to hang up the cleats and focus her energy elsewhere.

She found direction through one of her profes-sors, Dr. Alexis Lyras, the founder and president of Olympism for Humanity (O4H).

“He was my mentor throughout," she said. "He really encouraged me and allowed me to see the power I had as a lover and competitor in sport.”

Uremovich became involved in O4H through Lyras. Her first experience was a trip to Botswana, where they were engaged at several schools and an orphanage.

O4H pulls its mission from the Internation-al Olympic Committee's charter. “The goal of Olympism is to put sport at the service of a har-monious development of humankind with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity," it states.

For Uremovich, this means transferring skills she learned in sport – effort, teamwork, self re-spect, discipline, commitment and persistence – and teaching them to youth.

“We promote the continuation of Olympism for the world," she said. "We’re teaching people in all kinds of communities how sport for development can work, and what it can do.”

Last fall, Uremovich took part in a conference in Qatar where they helped mentor coaches and teachers in Sudan and India. Right now, she's in Greece for the O4H Summit. The conference brings together various stakeholders with the goal of spreading values of Olympism for use in devel-opment throughout the world.

Uremovich moved to Revelstoke last year, fol-lowing in her brother Greg's footsteps. She wants to implement programming here and throughout the Columbia Basin. She's begun by involving her-self with the Revelstoke Youth Soccer Association.

Of course, there's still a part of her that wishes she were still playing competitive soccer as part of Team Canada at the Women's World Cup.

"It turns a chord in my heart because it brings back a lot and it makes me wish that I had gone through and continued to play for Canada," she said. "A lot of those girls have faced serious injuries and they are true heroes to fight through them. They are awesome leaders for Canada and for youth. To see them compete like that is inspiring.”

Revelstoke RCMP are looking for a motorcyclist they say caused a high-speed crash that resulted in multiple injuries on the Trans-Canada High-way on Sunday.

The incident happened 18 kilome-tres east of Revelstoke on June 21 at about 1:20 p.m. after an RCMP offi-cer saw a motorcyclist speeding down the highway.

"When the speeding motorcyclist saw the police vehicle, the motorcy-clist cut off a separate group of mo-torcycle riders, causing the two lead bikes to fall at highway speeds," said

Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky in a news release. "The speeding biker departed the area without stopping and has not yet been located."

Two motorcyclists were injured and one had to be airlifted to hospital by BC Ambulance.

Police say the rider was driving a sport bike. He was wearing a jacket with white sleeves, a dark full-faced helmet and a black backpack. He was heading westbound and may have been seen in Revelstoke.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the RCMP Trans Canada East Traffic Services at 250-837-5255.

B.C. started last week with seven new wildfires on its map, for a total of 470 recorded so far in a hot start to the 2015 forest fire season.

More than 60,000 hectares have burned so far, most of that from 150 fires in the Prince George fire centre region.

Two new fires were reported on southeasterm Vancouver Island and a third at Nimpkish Lake on northern Vancouver Island this week. By Wednes-day there were 14 new and active fires in the Koo-tenay and Okanagan regions.

Environment Canada forecast a 60 per cent chance of rain by Friday in the Kamloops and Prince George areas, with continued dry weather expected through the weekend in the Lower Main-land and Vancouver Island. Chilliwack set new

high temperature records at the beginning of this week, and drier than normal conditions have pre-vailed across much of the province.

The Cisco Road fire south of Lytton in the Fra-ser Canyon grew to 1,370 hectares and was only 20 per cent contained as of Wednesday. The Lytton First Nations issued an evacuation order and other areas of the Thompson Nicola Regional District were on evacuation alert, with sprinklers deployed to protect threatened buildings.

The Little Bobtail Lake fire west of Prince George was contained at about 25,000 hectares with no loss of structures, but its intense burn weakened root systems of standing trees and people were still being warned to avoid the area.

Another large fire burned 18,000 hectares near Fort Nelson before it was contained with the help of rainfall.

British-based manufacturer Reckitt Benckiser Inc. has suspended its tree-planting program on farmland in the B.C. Interior after continued op-position from local governments.

Communities from the Peace, Prince George and Cariboo grew increasingly alarmed as the carbon offset program known as RB Trees for Change accumulated thousands of hectares of cleared farmland and planted seven million trees since it began in 2006. They objected to central-ly located and productive farmland being lost, weakening local economies and encouraging new land clearing farther afield.

"Our intent is to review all aspects of the pro-gram including land buying criteria," company spokesperson Lynn Kenney told Black Press Friday. "We will do so through discussions with stakeholders including provincial and local gov-ernments, community representatives, our sup-pliers and others with an interest in the program."

The B.C. government was informed of the deci-

sion June 4, and it was confirmed Friday by Agri-culture Minister Norm Letnick.

"I am especially pleased to hear that in con-ducting their review they will not make any new offers to purchase land, nor will they prepare ex-isting lands, buy seed or plant new trees," Letnick said.

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham said this company's voluntary decision doesn't prevent others from doing the same thing. Tree grow-ing remains a permitted use under Agricultural Land Commission rules, and RB chose not to ap-ply for long-term covenants against tree cutting that would qualify the project for tradable carbon offsets.

Popham has called for legislative amendments to make any carbon offset program on farmland subject to approval by the Agricultural Land Commission. RB initially said they were only re-planting marginal and idle land, but local govern-ments rejected that assessment.

Kenney said the company will continue to maintain the farmland it has planted.

Fishing with dad

A few people got lucky at the annual Father's Day Fishing event at Williamson Lake on Sunday. The lake was stocked with fish, and a few were penned to give people a better chance of mak-ing a catch. Many famillies came out, with some dads taking advantage of the day to teach their kids how to fish. Grady Young-Jobe, 3, made the first catch of his life. He's pictured below with Elaine Jobe (left) and Rayna Young. Meanwhile, Cody Olsen taught his two-year-old son Chase how to fish (bottom). ~ Photos by Alex Cooper, Revelstoke Review
