Quest for new skateboard park moves back to Kovach Park
The push for a new skateboard park is once again heading back to Kovach Park after Centennial Park was deemed unfeasible, but Southside neighbours aren’t too happy.
The Columbia Valley Skateboard Association (CVSA), which is lead-ing the push for a new skateboard park in Revelstoke, went in front of council on Tuesday to once again make the case to re-develop the facil-ity in Kovach Park.
Also presented to council — a stack of letters from nearby residents opposing the expansion.
Matt Rebelo, a helicopter pilot and home owner near Kovach Park, repre-sented the CVSA in front of council.
His � rst order was to rebrand the facil-ity – calling it a youth park rather than a skateboard park.
“If you go down to the park at any point you’ll � nd lots of kids on bikes, lots of kids on scooters, rollerblad-ers, as well as skateboards,” he said. “I feel it limits the view of what this facility actually is by calling it a skate-board park.
“I feel it’s mostly kids under the age of 16 that use it. I’m going to call it a youth park. It’s a more � tting name for it.”
He provided background on the CVSA’s efforts over the years. The group has been back and forth in their search for a new location. Their ini-tial efforts to build a new facility in Kovach Park were rebuffed by neigh-bourhood residents and instead the
CVSA was offered a space in Centen-nial Park.
“It has since been deemed by the city’s engineer Mike Thomas that it’s unfeasible to use that area for this facility due to the excavation that needs to happen and the weight of the concrete on top of the land� ll that’s in Centennial Park,” said Rebelo. “We’re back to the drawing board on loca-tion.”
Rebelo presented a chart to council outlining the pros and cons of differ-ent parks – Kovach Park was regarded as the best location for a new skate-board park, he said.
The plan is to expand the 16,000-square-foot park by 25 per cent – the equivalent of adding 10 extra feet on three sides, he said. He presented a slideshow of skateboard
facilities in other cities, saying they attract people of all ages.
“We’ve been at this for � ve years and we’ve been spinning our wheels on this location thing,” said Rebelo. “Without a location we can’t apply for grants, which is the main source of funding for a facility like this.”
He added the CVSA missed out on a round of provincial grants that included a $400,000 grant that went towards a skatepark in Nelson, B.C., because they weren’t shovel-ready. “I ask council to make a decision in the next couple of weeks on this mat-ter so we don’t lose out on more grant opportunities.”
Council’s decision won’t be easy due to opposition from several Kovach Park neighbours. Several e-mails to council expressed similar opinions —
that a new skateboard park in Kovach Park would disrupt the balance that exists there.
LOCAL RESIDENTS OPPOSED TO KOVACH PARK
Josie Woodman, the chair of the Southside Neighbourhood Group, attended Tuesday’s council meet-ing. In an interview with the Times Review afterwards, she explained the group’s opposition.
“Kovach isn’t available,” she said. “We’ve got a site plan, it doesn’t include changing the skatepark.”
She said they had been working on a site plan for the park for the past

The Revelstoke Resort Shuttle will continue on its Victoria Road route this season, after lobbying by stakeholders averted a switch to a safer Third Street route as recommended by senior City of Revelstoke staff.
The route change was recommended by the city’s engineering and public works department at a Sept. 26 meeting, and stakeholder engage-ment was planned to look into a route change.
Since then, city of� cials heard from business owners who wanted the route to continue on Victoria Road because the bus rider trade is impor-tant to them. Alpine Village Mall manager Merv Krywa said the morning crowds that ride the busses are important customers for the businesses in the mall, as well as others along Victoria Road.
To deal with safety concerns, new, of� cial bus stops will be placed along Victoria Road. New bus stop signs and procedures will be put in place to try to keep bus riders from lining up on the sidewalk too close to passing traf� c. “We would have signage telling people to keep back from the curb,” said City of Revelstoke economic development director Alan Mason.

A proposed 21-property ‘hobby farm’ subdivision on the shore of the Illecillewaet River in the Greeley area got a lukewarm response from the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District’s Area B Advisory Planning Commis-sion (APC) on Oct. 10.
The proposed subdivision sits between the CP Rail tracks and the
river, and consists of 21 properties, all about one-hectare in size.
The APC meeting was the pub-lic debut for the proposed subdivision. The proponents requested support from the APC for their application to have the property excluded from the provin-cial Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).
The proponent is the Illecillewaet Development company, the same com-pany advancing the proposed Revel-stoke Adventure Park development,
to be located next to the subdivision, on the other side of the CP Rail tracks nearer to Mount Mackenzie’s north side.
Lead proponent Jason Roe said the concept is to use covenants to create horse-friendly “hobby farm-type lots.”
The commission was philosoph-ically divided; some supported the development, while others noted the properties were all about half the mini-mum two-hectare lot size spelled out in
planning rules. “If we are going to give you pref-
erential zoning, why don’t we give it to the next guy coming along?” asked APC chairperson Mike Cummings.
Roe said the smaller lot sizes were needed for financial reasons.
In the end, the commission strug-gled to come up with mutually accep-tible wording to express their limited support, agreeing to support the ALR exclusion application in principle, but
to leave property size and zoning ques-tions to be determined at a later stage in the process.
The ALR exclustion application is the first in a lengthy, multi-step process that will include rezoning and subdivi-sion applications. It will include public hearings.
Committee members also expressed geotechnical and flooding concerns given the subdivision’s proximity to the Illecillewaet River.

Flu viruses are spread by contact with respiratory droplets from another person’s sneeze or cough. These droplets may make contact with your nose or mouth. It can also be spread by kissing or touching something with the virus on it. Shaking hands can do it. (Elbow-bumping, anyone?)
Other ways of reducing your chances of getting the flu (besides the yearly
flu shot) are to ensure you are getting enough zinc and vitamin D in your diet. Zinc seems to strengthen the immune system. Beef, lamb, chicken, oysters and pumpkin seeds are good sources. Multivitamins contain 7.5 to 15mg of zinc. Vitamin D in doses of 2000 units daily from food and supplements is now a recommended minimum.
Pharmacists are often
asked if it’s safe for a pregnant woman to get a flu shot. The answer is a definite yes. The flu can put stress on the heart, lungs and the immune system as well. Having respiratory problems while pregnant can cause complications. So by all means, if you are pregnant, get a flu shot.
For many herbal remedies, there is no good evidence for many of the claims made for
them. Arnica is one of these. It’s not safe to take it orally, however for use on injured areas of the skin that might bruise there is some anecdotal evidence that it helps. So it’s worth a try. Side effects include itching, rash and dry skin.
For answers to your questions about herbs or any other drug product, talk to our pharmacists. They are always ready to serve you.

year and had just completed the pro-cess – and it didn’t include an expanded skateboard park. The plan includes washroom facilities, seniors exercise equipment, a better playground and more trees and tables.
The main concern is that an improved skateboard park would attract more use, and therefore more noise and would push out other user groups.
“It was going to continue to be a multi-generational, multi-use place and we feel that’s its essence and that’s its core,” said Woodman. “I think a large skateboard park – which is another 25 per cent – it would dominate the park and we are sure that’s not quite what we had in mind.”
Both the CVSA and the Southside group feel frustrated by the process. The CVSA has been looking for a fea-sible site for five years and the South-side group feel like Kovach Park is being deemed the default location, regardless of their opposition to it.
“They’re saying Centennial Park can’t be used because of whatever,” said Woodman. “I think we’re saying Kovach is off the list too. You already gave us a site plan, you already told us what we’re doing there. I don’t under-stand that. There’s lots of contradictory stuff there.”
Rebelo, responding to questions from council, responded to neighbour-hood concerns, saying the expanded skateboard park wouldn’t change the nature of Kovach and it would still draw kids and families. “Once it’s developed it’s going to be seen as a great place for families and all sorts of people,” he said.
Parks committee dis-cusses location
Wednesday morning, the skate-board park issue was raised at a meet-ing of the Parks, Recreation and Cul-ture committee. Sitting at the table were Laurie Donato, the director of Parks and Recreation; Mayor David Raven, councillors Gary Starling, Tony Scarcella and Linda Nixon; Area B director Loni Parker, and four mem-bers of the Columbia Valley Skate-
boarding Association.Donato went over a list of possible
locations and the pros and cons of each one. She touched on both city parks and private lands. The list included Mount Begbie and Mountain View schools, unused CP Rail property, land designated for affordable housing, and every city park in the core of Revel-stoke.
When it came down to it, the con-versation turned to Centennial Park versus Kovach Park, with a clear appe-tite to make sure the former was unfea-sible before turning to the latter.
The main issue with Centennial Park, Donato said, was the presence of an old landfill underneath. The exact location of the landfill is unknown and an expensive study would have to be undertaken in order to build. Even if the skateboard park isn’t directly on top the landfill, it would still be on top of fill material that was laid down when the park was built.
“Any investigation we’re going to do of that area is going to cost a sig-inficant amount of money,” she said. “That’s just the first step in determin-ing if the land is feasible for develop-ment. That’s a large expense on a fifty-fifty chance.”
Kovach Park faces localized oppo-sition but that could be addressed by working with the neighbours.
“Issues with conflicting uses can be addressed through site planning,” she said.
The unanimous opinion at the meet-ing was to at least get an idea of what’s beneath Centennial Park and to find out how much a geotechnical study would cost before making a decision.
“We don’t know that isn’t a land-fill and we need to research that,” said Nixon. “I know it’s going to cost some money. I know it’s going to delay things a bit.”
Her thoughts were echoed by direc-tor Parker, who said the commit-tee should make a recommendation based on facts. “Maybe we should do a paper investigation to begin with and if we can’t find anything on paper then move forward and do some drilling,” she said. “The city should know what’s under there, whether there’s a skate-board park being put there or not.”
Mayor Raven brought up the cost issues. How much is the city willing to spend on studying the site to find out if it’s suitable or not. “Whether it’s part of a fill site or a landfill site they both have engineering concerns,” he said. “This is a large concrete structure being put on top and they both have challenges.”
Aaron Orlando, a director with the CVSA, said it was doubtful the organi-zation could get money for a extensive study to see if Centennial Park could be used.
The committee asked to get a staff report back as soon as possible so a decision could be made before the end of the year.
city engineer lays out issues
The big question to emerge from all this is what exactly is underneath Cen-tennial Park? I spoke to Mike Thomas, the city’s director of engineering, to find out. Unfortunately, he replied, no one really knows. There was once a landfill there, but the exact location is unknown. The part of the park that sits on the old landfill, versus the part that sits on straight fill is not documented, as far as he can tell.
The best he’s been able to find so
far is a staff report from 2001 that only provided anecdotal information from former city employees.
“This report in 2001 does not in any real detail describe the full extent of areas that were used for landfill activ-ities down there,” said Thomas.
The report identifies where the land-fill was, but not in any real detail. It doesn’t loook like any environmen-tal work was done at the time, said Thomas. “It appears to have been a desktop study of all the issues and some anecdotal work,” he said. “I don’t believe they did any field work in 2001.”
When the landfill was covered up there was nothing regulating the clo-sure of landfills and no documentation was made of the exact boundaries of the landfill.
Bob Melnyk, a former city parks foreman, said in a letter to the Times Review the site designated for the skateboard is on top of fill, and not landfill. Even then, that could still pose problems depending on what exactly was used for fill; it is thought the fill consists of stumps and old cars, amongst other material.
“It looks like best efforts were made to clean up the site and provide play-ing surfaces and make it safe for use,”
said Thomas. “Placing fill material down doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily placed in a manner that it’s suitable to place a large structure on. That’s where we’re at — for some direction on what that cost would be. What would be required to proceed with that?
“From a staff perspective we believe it’s prudent to raise these con-cerns before any money starts getting spent on the site that may impact the cost of investigations and ultimately the cost of construction of the facility in that location.”
How much will it cost for a geo-technical study? Thomas estimated a low end of $15,000 but “it might be a lot more,” he added.
It would require boring several holes through any fill material until you hit the ground proper, and would need sign off from a qualified engineer.
“Spending that money should be directing a decision you will make,” he said. “In that sense if there’s appetite to do this study, it will help make the decision on Centennial Park.”
***Disclosure: Times Review editor
Aaron Orlando is a director with the CVSA and has recused himself from reporting and editorial directing on the skatepark development process.
A skateboarder has some fun at the Kovach Park skateboard park on Go Skateboarding Day in June. The Colum-bia Valley Skateboard Association is looking to build a new skatepark to replace the outdated one that exists.

Art gallery improvements to include second community garden
Revelstoke will soon have a second community garden, located at the Rev-elstoke Visual Arts Centre.
Hailey Ross of the North Columbia
Environmental Society announced the news while receiving a $5,000 donat-ing from the Revelstoke branch of TD Canada Trust on Friday.
The new garden will be located at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre and will be installed when RVAC begins
Alex [email protected]
work on landscaping plans for its site on Wilson Street. The com-plete plans also include a zeri-scape garden, small outdoor patio and walkways that would connect Victoria Road to the Columbia River path via the RVAC.
“The dream is for it to happen next year,” said Jackie Pendergast, the manager of RVAC. “We just need funding and permission.”
Ross said the new garden will
complement the existing one out-side the Revelstoke United Church and will provide more space and larger plots for people to use to grow fruits, vegetables and herbs.
The new garden will be wheel-chair accessible.
She said some of the plots would be income generating.
The NCES received the $5,000 donation from TD Bank as part of the branch’s 50th anniversary cel-
ebration on Friday. The branch had cake, coffee and other snacks on hand; and several members of senior management travelled to Revelstoke for the occassion.
Charlene Roddick, the branch manager, pointed out that when the branch opened on Oct. 11, 1963, you could buy a pound of coffee at the Shop Easy next door for 69 cents.
Mason oversees the bus ser-vice. He noted a well-utilized bus service improves traffic safety because it takes private vehicles off the road: “I think one of the big safety factors on the bus is the fact that you’re getting proba-bly 10,000 cars off the road in the winter.”
Mason advocated for the con-tinuation of the Victoria Road route, saying it’s the fastest route, which in turn promotes ridership.
Mason said the side streets are just too slow. “It slows it down. People will only take the bus if it gets them up to the hill in a rea-sonable time.”
He said the busses had trav-elled on side streets several sea-sons ago, including a stop in Grizzly Plaza, but despite best intentions, snow removal couldn’t keep up, and the bus was dam-aged trying to manoeuvre around windrows.
He also said proposed alternate routes had safety downsides, such
as slippery hills between Farwell and downtown.
Mason said the new bus stops will cost about $10,000, and the money would come from the tour-ism infrastructure budget, includ-ing cost-sharing with the Revel-stoke Accommodation Associa-tion.
Mason noted, as far as he knows, the bus and its riders hadn’t had an accident on Victo-ria Road in six seasons. He added the buses had flashing stop lights and bus stop procedures would be reviewed.
Back at the Sept. 26 planning meeting, the City of Revelstoke’s administration and engineering departments’ views were clear: the city could face legal exposure if someone was injured.
City engineering director Mike Thomas said the new, defined bus stops, new training procedures for drivers and perhaps new flashing lights on the bus, will suffice.
“Ideally, bus stops would be outside of the travelling lanes, either in pull outs or parking
lanes; however it is possible to permit these stops through sig-nage defining the exact loca-tions,” Thomas said. “Overall, given limited route options that support the principals of a con-venient, fast and frequent service, the continued use of the three stops on Victoria Avenue will be safer than in previous years.”
New third busOne more new Revelstoke
Resort Shuttle bus will be in operation this season, bringing the total to three.
Mason said some changes are planned to improve the service. During peak times, some shuttles will not return all the way to the origin point at the Sandman Inn. Instead, they’ll return downtown to pick up skiers to better man-aged demand at the mid-point of the route. In addition, in the mornings, some busses will take a direct route back to the start-ing point, instead of following the slower return route through downtown.

It turns out many Revelstoke residents are interested in shar-ing their opinions and feedback on city services.
As of Friday, Oct. 11, 851 had started to fill out the City of Rev-elstoke’s ongoing customer ser-vice satisfaction survey, and 550
surveys had been completed. The survey, which can be
found on the City of Revelstoke’s website, is open until Oct. 18.
It asks respondents for feed-back on services provided by various city departments, and also asks for feedback on service level cuts.
At Revelstoke City Council’s Oct. 8 meeting, mayor David
Raven said he was pleased with the response.
“It makes it statistically sound. [There is some] very good commentary coming back in,” he said. “I’ll be digesting that and reading through it all, as well as staff, in the near future. Hopefully, we’ll have some clear direction.”

Notes from the Oct. 8 Revelstoke City Council regular meeting.
A proposed independent power proj-ect on Moses Creek in the Westside Road area will likely face a public pro-cess when it applies for rezoning to locate a portion of the project’s infra-structure within city limits.
“I believe that where the power gener-ator would be is within city boundaries, but a lot of the headworks and the pen-stocks are not, so it would be inter-juris-dictional,” said mayor David Raven at council’s Oct. 8 meeting.
Council was responding to a referral from Moses Creek Power Inc., who sent out a project development plan for their 4.0 MW project that will divert water from Beattie Creek and Moses Creek to
generate power. Council referred the item to city staff
and the city’s development committee for further investigation.
“We have referred it to staff to clarify what stage it is in,” mayor David Raven told the Times Review. “At that time you would discern which activities and responsibilities the city would have with respect to this proposal. The city coun-cil or others may have other opinions may have other opinions that are outside of the actual legal responsibilities of the city, which would be zoning and devel-opment permits and things like that.”
At the council table, Coun. Tony Scarcella asked for a motion to support the project in principle, but didn’t get a seconder from the council table.
Coun. Gary Starling expressed mixed views on the project: “They do create a lot of employment. I do have an issue with this longstanding agreement … that Hydro has with all these small opera-tors,” he said.
“They are paying exorbitant amounts for hydro that’s produced by these proj-ects and that is really the only reason that makes these projects viable, otherwise they would be dead in the water. I would support Hydro expanding the Revelstoke Dam rather than all these small projects that tear up the countryside.”
However, Starling said, despite its downfalls, it would be an economic generator: “On a whole, they do create employment, so I would probably sup-port it. There is definitely an issue with this longstanding agreement they have, and it needs to change, but that’s not something that can be decided in these council chambers.”
Plaque commemorating Mt. Revelstoke internment camp
planned
City council supported a drive to erect a plaque commemorating a short-lived, First World War-era internment camp in Mount Revelstoke National Park in 1915.
At the request of council, Revelstoke Museum and Archives curator Cathy English appeared at the Oct. 8 meeting to explain the history of the camp.
It was a road-building camp in place from September to October, although some activity continued until Decem-ber. The camp met with an only-in-Rev-elstoke fate: It was abandoned because excessive snowfall prohibited work on the roadway.
“It was a short-lived camp,” English said. “The city was actually quite anx-ious to have a camp in the community because it was quite an economic driver.”
The camp held about 200 prisoners and had 75 guards.
The prisoners were connected to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, part of a national concentration camp program that interned “enemy aliens” in 27 camps across Canada.
According to English’s presentation, 8.579 male prisoners were interned in 27 work camps, many of them in National Parks.
English said only 3,138 could be cor-

Council agreed to a request from the Ukranian-Canadian Civil Liber-ties Association to erect a memorial plaque in Revelstoke.
Proposed locations include the

Let’s � x our brightest tourist signs!
Editor, After reading your article on planned
tourism signage upgrades, (Highway, city tourist sign overhaul planned, News, Oct. 9), I felt compelled to add my views on this topic. As you stated in your article, there are a lot of people driving by our front door, and proper signage is an excellent way to lay out the welcome mat for these folks. However, all of the signage in the world welcoming the world to our com-munity will be for not until we address the negative signage adorning the gateway to our city that is keeping many people mov-ing right on by.
The signage I am referring to are the big, beautiful, well-illuminated signs that are on all of our service station properties advertising our gas prices. It is a simple marketing fact, that if you desire to draw people in, you do so with a universally required commodity at a hot price with great signage. Gasoline certainly � ts the bill as does the signage that advertises the prices, however, at $1.38 per litre, Revel-stoke is way out in left � eld with the pric-ing aspect. A drive 20 minutes down the highway will fetch you gas at $1.31 per litre as is Sicamous just 45 minutes away. An hour drive to Enderby can sell you gas at $1.27 per litre. That’s 11 cents per litre less for an hour drive down the highway. Come on!
Until the obscene gas prices are cor-rected in our community, people will con-tinue to drive right on by regardless of the signage proposed. I realize that the local merchants do not set the prices, however if enough of our citizenry � lled up as much as possible while in Sicamous or Enderby, the people who do set the prices would get the message, and stop this nonsense of gouging us at the pumps. Signage is impor-tant to draw more people into our city from the highway. Let it start with the ones we
already have in place.John Teed,Revelstoke
A thank-you to Good Samaritans and bike helmets
Editor, Last Monday, I had a very sudden fall
off my bike just as I rounded the cor-ner onto Front Street after coming off the
Big Eddy Bridge. My helmet de� nitely saved my head from serious injury. Fortu-nately for me there were a number of driv-ers waiting to cross the bridge who wit-nessed my accident. I personally want to thank Chelan Morton and her partner and their dog for coming to my aid. They were very kind and I gratefully accepted their offer to drive me and my bike home – even though it was well out of their way. Thank you to all the others who also offered assis-tance. It is so reassuring to know that Good Samaritans abound in our midst. I was back on my bike again after only one day and thankfully all is well yet again.

The Revelstoke Museum and Archives has installed a new set of moveable shelving for their artifacts. Last week, volunteers descended into the museum’s basement to move roomfuls of Revelstoke history to the new storage room. Revelstoke Museum & Archives curator English (left) and archives relocation project manager Harumi Sakiyama ham it up with some of the musical instruments they were in the process of moving. English said the relocation project will help preserve the artifacts and also greatly improve organization, allowing for easier access to the artifacts for research and displays.

New book looks at gardening in Revelstoke through eyes of seniors
A few years ago I received a call from Donna Hannah, who wanted to show off her massive daikon rad-ishes. I made my way to her house on Fourth Street and found myself entering the most amazing garden I had seen to that point, with row upon row of fruits and vegetables that are too numerous to list off.
I ended up running an entire photo spread.
Hannah’s garden is one of 30 being featured in Mountain Harvest: Revelstoke’s senior gardeners share their secrets, a new book being put out by the North Columbia Environ-mental Society.
“There are expert gardeners in our community whose health is fall-ing or they’re passing away and I think it’s really important to pre-serve their knowledge,” said Laura Stovel, who wrote the book based on interviews with 37 gardeners in Revelstoke.
Hannah’s story is similar to many of the seniors featured in the book. As a little girl growing up in Salmon Arm she and her sister would go door to door selling fruits and veg-etables. Later, her family moved to Albert Canyon where they ran a dairy farm. They would send bottles of milk on the early morning train and the empties would be returned in the afternoon.
“For most of us seniors that have
good gardens, we probably all had a garden when we were very young,” she said.
The 144-page book, which was designed by Carly Moran, features profiles on everyone who was inter-viewed, as well as gardening tips they provided. It also provides an agricultural history of the area. Mar-ilyn James speaks about the Sinixt First Nations harvesting in the area, while several former farmers talk about what it was like farming before the flats south of town were flooded.
“They tell very similar stories of selling their produce,” said Stovel. “There’s a lot of that history that’s in the book in the well.”
Stovel spoke about a few of the people who were interviewed. She mentioned one man who never went to school, yet is “an engineer of the greenhouse,” with a wood stove to heat it and a complete irrigation sys-tem that captures rainwater.
She mentioned Ken Sakamoto, whose family farm was confiscated by the Canadian government and his family placed in an internment camp near Sandon during the Sec-ond World War. Johnny Peluso talks about picking and selling wild oreg-ano as a child. Rhonda and Oly Bru-netti show their process of making wine.
“We wanted to interweave the history into this book and make it both really interesting with the pro-files and make it a how to,” said
Stovel. “It’s the secrets of the gar-deners. It’s got a lot on how differ-ent gardeners approach gardening.”
I asked Hannah about her approach and what advice she had. She gets started with transplants in her greenhouse in January and starts working the soil when the snow melts. She said she makes sure
every bit of garden waste she has goes right back in the ground – beet tops, corn stalks and more.
Stovel stressed that the people featured aren’t necessarily the best gardeners in town, but they were the ones who shared their stories.
“I learned we have some incred-ible seniors in this community with
some powerful stories and amazing knowledge,” she said.
Mountain Harvest: Revelstoke’s senior gardeners share their secrets will be on book shelves in late November for $25. Pre-sales can be made at Chantilly Kitchen Bed and Bath for $22.

Correction: The story about the premiere of the ski film Into the Mind (Revelstoke locals Rubens, Lynch featured in Sherpas’ Into the Mind, Entertainment, Oct. 9) stated that Chris Rubens was currently on the cover of Powder Magazine. In fact, he has been in the past but, isn’t currently. In a mental lapse, we confused him with Revelstoke skier Sean Cochrane, who recently snagged the Powder Magazine cover in a photo by Bruno Long, as reported in the Sept. 18 Times Review. We regret the error.
Correction: In the print version of the story Revelstoke highway, city tourist sign overhaul planned (News, Oct. 9), we stated as many as six million vehicles are believed to pass by Revelstoke on the Trans-Canada Highway on an annual basis. In fact, we intended to say some estimates put the number of people in the vehicles that pass by at six million. We regret the error. The error prompted us to get an official, updated estimate from the Ministry of Transportation; we are still awaiting the result of that request. Information available on the Ministry of Transportation website puts the annual vehicle count at a counting station near Albert Canyon at approximately 1.75 million, although that number will require further con-text. Look for an updated number in stories about the ongoing process to upgrade tourist information signage in Revelstoke.

Stunning quilts highlight new art show
When a new show is set up at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Cen-tre, the biggest and most striking piece often goes on the back wall, above the dais.
At the new show by the Mt. Revelstoke Quilter’s Guild, that honour went to Jill Leslie, who’s large and dazzling quilt encom-passed the white wall. The quilt showed an intricate landscape design of mountains, forests, wild� ower meadows and � sh-� lled rivers.
My � rst reaction was that it was a Revelstoke landscape, but in fact it was meant to evoke the town of Sisters, below the Three Sisters mountains in Oregon.
Leslie and her sister went to the town’s famous quilt show one year and they both bought the same kit. The plan was to work on it together whenever they could. Five years later, they were still at it. “At Christmas we decided to divide it all up and � nish it,” said Leslie. “I knew this show was coming and my goal was to � n-ish it for this.”
The result is a brightly coloured quilt that evokes a true mountain landscape. The many, many pieces had to be intricately sewn together.
“It’s paper-pieced. For one of these, there’s a piece of paper,” she explained, pointing at the quilt. “You do it in reverse. You stitch on these lines on the paper and then you peel the paper off ad this is what the front looks like.”
Once it was all pieced together, Linda Walford did the stitching work. “It was a lot of work but I’m really pleased with it now that it’s done,” said Leslie, who had been quilting for 20 years.
Leslie’s was one of several dozen quilts hanging on the walls or from the ceilings at RVAC. I also spoke to Diane McKay about her quilt, called Shadow City. The design featured several col-umns that faded from darker to lighter shades and back again. It was based on a design by Kristy Zacharias but McKay chose all the patterns.
“It’s picking out all the fab-rics that is the hardest part. To get them all to blend together,” said McKay. “ Once you get started on it you just follow the pattern
One of the most interesting aspects is the quilting, that was done by Chris Leithwood. The
stitching was designed so that when you turn it over, a pattern of butter� y’s appears on the back.
The last person I talked to was Eleanor Hills, who’s quilt featur-ing a scene from the Serengeti I photographed several times from different angles. It featured a bright sunset, with a giraffe and a tree silhouetted in the foreground.
“The part that was the most dif� cult was the black – it was an applique,” Hills said. “You had to stitch around each piece with the black. It was a heavier fabric and if I wouldn’t do it the same if I were to do it again.”
The quilt hangs above her � re-place at home.
The show by the Mt. Revel-stoke Quilters Guild runs until November 1. Visit the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre website for opening hours.

BC Hydro has formally applied to the B.C. Utilities Commission for approval of extra fees for people who refuse to use the utility’s wire-less electricity meters.
BC Hydro’s application details costs expected for staff, vehicles and equipment for manual collec-tion of meter readings, and adjust-ing the smart grid software and hardware to compensate for non-transmitting meters.
It also estimates the cost of extra checks for electricity theft in areas where mechanical meters remain. Portable “check meters” are to be
deployed to find unexplained power losses in those sections of the grid.
“These check meters are $2,000 per unit, and it is anticipated that an additional 200 to 500 units will be required,” the application states.
The 130-page application seeks BCUC approval to impose fees announced by BC Hydro in Sep-tember.
It confirms that people who keep their old mechanical meter are to be charged $35 a month, while those who choose a wireless meter with the radio transmitter disabled will be charged a $100 setup fee an $20 a month for manual collection of readings, starting April 1.
The BCUC could reduce the fees
if it finds them to be excessive, or increase them if that is justified. The $35 per month fee will be charged to customers with mechanical meters starting Dec. 1, and will be adjusted later if the BCUC changes the fee.A cabinet order issued by Energy Minister Bill Bennett in September instructs the BCUC to approve fees that cover the actual cost to BC Hydro of accommodat-ing people who refuse to take part in the wireless monitoring system for the province-wide electricity grid.
The cabinet order also demands customers be charged for “failed installations,” if technicians are turned away or access to the BC
Hydro-owned meter is blocked.BC Hydro has sent letters to about
60,000 households that have refused smart meters, outlining the options,
along with a form to send back making their choice. Those who make no choice will be assigned the $35-a-month default option, effective Dec. 1.

Legendary Irish-punk band The Mahones are hitting the stage at the River City Pub this Friday, Oct. 18. The band was formed by Fintan (Finny) McCon-nell, an Irish immigrant, for a St. Patrick’s Day part in 1990. 23 years, eight studio albums, and two live albums later, the band is still going, having helped
create a genre of music that combines punk energy with traditional Irish melodies. Their influences include the Clash, the Pogues, the Who and Husker Du. On top of the classic guitar, drums and bass, the Mahones include accordion, mandolin and banjo to create their sound. The band has been the subject of a tribute album – a true sign of their legacy.

levels expected revelstoke reservoir lower than normal
BC Hydro would like to make Revelstoke Reservoir users aware that the reservoir water level may be drawn down well below normal levels from late October to early November, if needed, to meet provincial electricity demands. During this time, inflows into Revelstoke Reservoir from Mica Dam will be reduced. BC Hydro must limit generation at Mica dam to allow workers to safely replace aging switchgear equipment in the underground powerhouse. At the same time, generation is somewhat limited from BC Hydro’s Peace River system due to maintenance outages.
Given current conditions and assuming average weather, we may need to lower the reservoir water level below its normal minimum level of 571.5 metres (1,875 feet) starting the week of October 21, 2013. The level could drop as much as 4.6 metres (15 feet) below the normal minimum level by late October 2013. Should such a drop be needed, we would then expect the reservoir to refill back into its normal operating range by mid-November, 2013.
If you are planning activities in or around Revelstoke Reservoir please be aware that the water level may be dropping during this period, likely by as much as 2 feet per day but possibly as much as 4 feet per day depending on weather and system conditions.
BC Hydro will look for opportunities to limit the magnitude of the water level drop and will closely monitor the Revelstoke Reservoir level during this period.
BC Hydro normally operates Revelstoke Reservoir at a fairly constant water level between 571.5 metres (1,875 feet) and 573.02 metres (1,880 feet) to maximize hydraulic head at Revelstoke Dam. However, BC Hydro occasionally operates Revelstoke reservoir at a lower minimum level during cold weather or unusual system conditions.

The Revelstoke Grizzlies will be looking to end a four game losing streak when they head to Invermere on Friday.
Revelstoke lost 4-2 to the Sicamous Eagles at home on Friday, and then lost twice in a row to the 100 Mile House Wranglers, fall-ing 8-3 on Saturday and 6-5 in overtime on Sunday.
“We have to work defensively – we’re giving up too many goals,” said coach Dar-ren Naylor Sunday evening. “That’s just not a defensive stat. A lot of times the forwards aren’t putting pucks in deep and are leaving pucks in the neutral zone so the turnovers are crazy and they’re getting 3-on-2s all night.
“In order for us to succeed we have to be a team that plays 3-2, 2-1 games,” he contin-ued. “We wasted one today. We scored five but we gave up six. The balance was off.”
On Friday, Brady Crabtree scored for Sicamous 71 seconds in the game, capitaliz-ing on a Grizzlies turnover, and Revelstoke was never able to truly grab any momentum afterwards. Devon Hascarl tied the game with a power play not long after, but Sicamous scored one in the second and twice late in the third en route to a 4-2 win. Kent Hendrickson scored Revelstoke’s second goal with 2:47 to go in the game.
“We start the game on Friday, the first line goes out and has a great shift, a great way to start a hockey game,” said Naylor. “Then the second line comes out, we’ve got a guy who’s
been in the league three years make a mistake that shouldn’t be made by a guy with that type of experience and it’s in the back of the net. All the momentum we generate is gone and it went downhill from there.”
On Saturday, 16-year-old backup goalie Jaxon Nohr was given his first KIJHL start and it’s one he’d probably like to take over. The 100 Mile House Wranglers scored three times in the first and three more in the sec-ond before Tre Mason finally got Revelstoke on the board. Hascarl and Matt MacDonald scored for the Grizzlies in the third period, but the Wranglers added two more goals for an 8-3 win.
Naylor didn’t fault Nohr, who faced 45 shots, for the loss.
“The team didn’t show up in front of him,” Naylor said. “It’s a pretty intimidating rink to play in. They probably had 700 fans in there and the momentum, once they scored early, it just kept going and going.”
On Sunday, the Grizzlies got their only point in a 6-5 OT loss. MacDonald scored twice in the third period, and Riley Creigh-ton, Monty Chisholm and Hascarl also scored for the Grizzlies, but the team’s best offen-sive output of the season was spoiled when Robert Orrey scored the game winner for 100 Mile 44 seconds into OT.
This weekend Revelstoke plays the Columbia Valley Rockies in Invermere on Friday and then returns home to play the Golden Rockets on Saturday.
Naylor said he will continue to make
changes to the lineup to bolster both the offence and defence.
“This is a rebuild in motion. There was nothing done in the off season with this team. I’ve had one month to put together this,” he said. “We’re only going to get better, the potential is there. We’re not that bad, we’re competing.
“The games are going to go either way, we just have to start getting on the right end of them. I think that’s going to come with the talent upgrade we’re undergoing right now.
“10 games for me is the cutoff time and now I’m going to move guys out and bring some skilled guys that are becoming avail-able.”

ANDY DAVIDSONHusband • Father • Brother • Uncle • Friend
March 20, 1921 – October 2, 2013
Born in Revelstoke, Andy lived his lifetime there in the scenic Columbia River valley nestled between the majestic and snow-capped Monashee and Selkirk mountain ranges. He enjoyed all seasons in the great outdoors, whether it was hiking on mountain trails, boating, golfing or cross-country skiing.
Andy grew up with his siblings – Jim, John, Elsie, Alex, Dorothy and Bill. During World War II, Andy served with the Canadian Army. Returning home, he worked as a mechanic at “Davidson Motors”, the local Ford dealership owned by his brother Jim. Later, he worked with his two brothers, John and Alex, in the family business known as “Davidson’s Transfer”. That business had been started by their father in the early 1900s. They operated the business for many years until it was sold. Finally, Andy retired after working with the City of Revelstoke as a mechanic.
Andy was married to Marge for 66 years. He is survived by his wife and two daughters, Ann and B-J. He is also survived by his sister Elsie Jamieson, and his brother Bill (Marie). There are also many nieces and nephews, and their families.
Andy was a loving, helpful, honest and hard-working man. Everyone will remember his friendly smile.
