Revelstoke Grizzlies win two out of three in three-game weekend homestand — 16

Joy, excitement, happiness, relief — those were among the many emo-tions shown when schools finally opened on Monday.

The usual excitement that comes with back to school was heightened on Monday after it was delayed three weeks by the teachers strike.

And the return to the classrooms was welcomed by students, parents and staff alike.

At Begbie View Elementary, a “Welcome back to school” banner graced the doorway and out back kids and parents gathered for the tradi-tional first day mug-and-muffin.

For elementary school students, the feeling was one of relief at getting out of the house, away from their nagging parents and having some structure back in their life after more than three months of summer vacation.

“I’m a little happy because we were bored of doing the same thing all the time,” said Odin Woods, a grade

six students at Begbie View Elemen-tary.

Xander Widger, another grade six student at BVE, said he’d been spend-ing his time doing mathletics online, going to gymnastics and “playing Minecraft on the XBox.”

He missed being in school and was happy to go back. His mother Sam Irman was happy to see him go back too. “I have two kids that are eight years apart and they’ve done nothing but fight,” she said with a laugh. “I’m ready for them to go back to school.”

Over at Revelstoke Secondary School students slowly trickled in and lined up to get their course schedules in the main foyer. “We’ve been wait-ing for this for a long time,” said prin-cipal Greg Kenyon. “We’re excited to see everyone back.”

Students were also happy to be back and end a long summer of rest-lessness.

“I really want to get back to school because grade 11 is a big year,” said Marie Busch. “I don’t want to miss school. I’ve been antsy to get back.”

***The news of a deal between the

province and the BC Teachers Feder-ation took everyone by surprise when it was announced early last Tuesday morning. It was ratified by teachers on Thursday.

86 per cent of teachers who voted opted in favour of the six year agree-ment reached early Tuesday morn-ing between the BCTF and govern-ment negotiators. 31,741 out of about 41,000 teachers cast votes.

The six-year, retroactive agree-ment is the longest ever negoti-ated. It includes a 7.25 per cent sal-ary increase and improvements in extended health benefits.

The agreement also provides for an education fund that will average $80 million per year over the course of the agreement. The fund will be used to hire specialist teachers in order to address class size and composition issues.

Another $105 million will be dis-persed by the union to settle hundreds of grievances resulting from the strip-

ping of class size and composition from the teachers’ contract in 2002. “I’m happy with this deal,” said Iker.

Iker said the turnout for the vote was higher than the union’s last two ratification votes.

Education Minister Peter Fass-bender congratulated teachers on the settlement, which ends a bitter strike that shut schools for two weeks in June and another three weeks this fall.

“We can now focus on the path for-ward,” Fassbender said. “This long-term agreement is an historic oppor-tunity to work together for students – to enhance their education experience and to support their achievements.”

***The vote to end the strike came a

day after a Revelstoke school board meeting where the president of the local teachers association voiced her displeasure with the lack of support shown from trustees towards striking teachers.

Revelstoke teachers won’t be going back to school happy, said Jen-nifer Wolney, the president of the Rev-

elstoke Teachers Association.Notably, they were dissapointed in

the very neutral letter the trustees sent out to the province and union officials following the July 9 board meeting during which many teachers spoke up about their situation and how the strike, and their treatment by the gov-ernment made them feel.

“Teachers tomorrow will vote, and as they cast their ballot to vote, they’re going to be thinking about the past. That past for some of them could be years ago, it could be last year, or it could be the board meeting of July 9,” said Wolney during last Wednesday’s school board meeting.

She talked about teachers who struggle with large classes, or split classes, or classes with many spe-cial needs students. She said teach-ers work before school, during recess, at lunch and after school to help stu-dents.

They’ve lost their “joie de vivre,” she said, and their willingness to vol-

Another bonanza

The Revelstoke food drive collected more than 5.2 metric tons of food over the course of two nights last week. Hundreds of volunteers came out on Wednesday and Thursday evenings to go door-to-door all across Revelstoke for the Emergency Services Fight Back Against Hunger food drive. They came away with 11,500 pounds of food and $4,400 in donations, according to to a post on Facebook. “Revelstoke you have done it again!” organizers wrote. “Another very successful food drive. 11,500 pounds of food and $4,400. We are truly overwhelmed with the generosity of this great community. Thank you does not begin to express our appreciation but I will say it anyways. Thank you so very much for the donations, the great volunteers who went door-to-door, all the emergency services and the food sorters. Great job everyone!!” The donations will help stock the food bank’s shelves for many months; last year the donations lasted into the spring. They are more important than ever with the food bank seeing an increase number of users this year. ~ Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

We mention exercise a lot in this column but what does it really do for your heart? It improves the health of your blood vessels so they open up and blood flows more freely through your body. It also helps your nervous system reduce your heart rate. Your heart loves you when you exercise. Make it part of your day ... every day.

Food allergies can occur at any age but most often

occur in children under the age of five. The top ten foods that cause allergies are: eggs, milk, mustard, peanuts, seafood, sulphites (preservatives found in dried fruits), sesame, soy, tree nuts, wheat and other gluten-containing grains.

The United Nations has a goal to have at least 50% of the world’s newborn babies be breast-fed for at least 6 months

by the year 2025. It is well understood that this practice will give the child a better start in life, with better nutrition and a stronger immune system. UN experts say that if 100% of all newborns were breastfed for the first six months of life, 800,000 lives could be saved yearly.

Sleeping problems can be caused by snoring, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, talking during

sleep and just inability to sleep through the night. Often this causes problems for the spouse of the person with the sleep disorders. One solution that can help is separate beds or even separate bedrooms. We all need a good night’s sleep and if you feel this could help, give it a try.

Gary Sulz running for council

Funeral director Gary Sulz is running for council — fulfilling a promise he made 20 years ago to a friend.

Back then, Domenico Meloro, who has since passed away, sug-gested that Sulz run for council.

"My comment to him was, 'I promise I'll run when I retire, then I'll have some time,'" he said. "He spurred me 20 years ago to give thought to doing public service other than funeral service."

Sulz has been the funeral director at Brandon Bowers funeral home in Revelstoke for 24 years. He is easing into retirement and decided now is the time to enter local politics.

"With some of the issues and things going on, timing for me

is right," he said. "I can actually make that commitment."

Like all other candidates that have declared so far, Sulz said fostering an environment to help support Revelstoke businesses is his main goal.

"Some of the businesses don't stay afloat for a long time, so I'd like to see things be a little more viable," he said. "I'm not sure how as a councillor I can help with that but I'm willing to step forward and say, 'We need to do something.'"

Despite that, I asked the ques-tion: How, as a councillor, would Sulz support business? He raised two issues — one is to attract businesses or light industry that pay people a decent wage so they can stay in Revelstoke.

"I think as a councillor we can look at ways of attracting busi-ness and light industry into the

community and then by attract-ing the right type of business that will blend with our tourism business that we already have here, then maybe people will be able to stay here and work here and actually make a living," he said.

The other is to watch city spending to keep taxes as low as possible. "The money thing is what spurs everything," he said. "We need to make sure taxes are affordable for everyone."

He's realistic in noting that taxes won't be lowered, so he said council will have to decide what services are provided and how they are provided so that taxes don't have to be raised.

"We need to look at how ser-vices are delivered to make sure that we stay viable as a city but we also don't put a burden on the tax payer," he said.

Say goodbye to the Canadian Avalanche Centre. Say hello to Avalanche Canada.

The Canadian Avalanche Cen-tre will announce its new name and logo at the International Snow Sci-ence Workshop in Banff on Oct. 2.

The change has been in the works for a year and is designed to give the organization a distinct brand from the Canadian Avalanche Association.

Avalanche Canada, as the CAC will now be known, is tasked with public outreach, while the CAA is the organization for avalanche pro-fessionals. There is also the Cana-dian Avalanche Foundation, which is the fundraising arm of the ava-lanche industry.

The change coincides with the 10th anniversary of the CAC, which was founded in the fall of 2004 in the aftermath of two deadly

avalanches that killed 14 people in January 2003.

City Crafting utility aCquisition poliCy

City staff is working on a utility acquisition policy – a pre-emptive move in case it does wind up tak-ing over the Big Eddy Waterworks.

Councillor Linda Nixon made the motion to have staff craft the policy at a special council meeting last Tuesday, Sept. 16. It was sup-ported unanimously by the rest of council.

The policy would set the condi-tions and processes should a trans-fer take place, such as what level of user support would be needed and how the city would assume control.

"These policies are common in

areas where these utility acquisi-tions are happening over time. The regional districts, just about all of them have a comprehensive util-ity acquisition policy," said Mike Thomas, the city's director of engineering. "We're in the situa-tion where we only have one that's likely to happen but it's worth hav-ing a policy that would cover that eventuality if it came to that con-clusion and the Big Eddy asked us to acquire that utility."

Mayor David Raven noted the Columbia Shuswap Regional Dis-trict has such a policy and it has provided guidance for several acquisitions that have taken place recently.

"There are some legal proceed-ings with respect to takeovers and transfers and other things that can pre-determined and predicted in a policy that makes it an awful lot

easier going ahead."

City writing letter about derailment

The City of Revelstoke penned a "strong, diplomatic" letter to CP Rail officials letting them know of their unhappiness regarding the way a derailment inside city limits was handled.

A train derailed in the Big Eddy late on Thursday, Sept. 11, but emergency services didn't learn about the incident until the follow-ing the morning when the Times Review contacted fire chief Rob Girard about the incident.

Mayor David Raven said coun-cil should write a letter to CP Rail, "from Hunter Harrison on down" to let them know emergency services should have been notified.

The letter will also go to the Fed-

eration of Canadian Municipalities.

CounCillor sCar-Cella apologizes

Councillor Tony Scarcella apol-ogized to city staff for accusing them of not presenting a letter con-cerning the Big Eddy Waterworks to council.

The letter in question was sent to the city from Interior Health on Dec. 20, 2013.

At the Sept. 9 meeting of coun-cil, Scarcella held up the letter and accused staff of not doing their job by showing the information to council.

In fact, council had been shown the letter in a closed-door meeting on Feb. 25 that Scarcella attended.

“I take full responsibility. Staff did their job presenting this letter in camera on Feb. 25, 2014,” he said. “I was wrong and staff did their job. I sincerely apologize to senior staff and Mr. Palmer for what I said.”

unteer their time outside the class-room has been compromized. They’ve felt disrespected and under-valued.

“In my opinion you have teach-ers who are going to remember the past,” she said. “They don’t want to go back to the time of uncertainty, of turbulence, of feeling disrespected. It’s my hope this board will help to stop all of those things that many teachers in this district told you is happening to them.”

Alan Chell, the chair of the Revelstoke Board of Education, responded by saying he views the agreement as a “real celebration”

“Both bargaining parties worked very hard to connect. I can definitely attest to that,” he said on Wednesday. “We put in some long hours, a lot of back and forth, and lot of effort to get some additional resources. The

end result is a freely negotiated agreement with additional resources being provided. I see this as being a very positive sign for the future.”

He said the board strives to put as many resources into the classroom as possible.

Superintendent Mike Hooker said the ratio of students to teachers was better now than it was in the years prior to 2002.

He gave the example of the high school math department, where the largest class has 28 students and the smallest 14 students. “We don’t want the 28 but we need it to sustain the 14,” he said. “I think the teach-ing job has changed. It is challeng-ing and it’s hard work. There will be teachers who are really struggling tomorrow and they will struggle to maintain that joie de vivre. I have tremendous pride – as you do – in the staff we have.”

Many teachers struggled finan-

cially during the strike and they weren’t happy with the lack of sup-port shown by school trustees.

Sarah Newton, who has been the most outspoken Revelstoke teacher during the strike, said that having 10 per cent of her pay deducted when the teachers were locked out - before going on strike - was hurtful and not forgotten. She said teachers won’t forget the lack of support from trust-ees.

“When I hear all the thanks for all the extra stuff, in reality teachers don’t think as those as extra, that’s just what we do,” she said. “When that pay was taken away as a bar-gaining tactic, we didn’t think that was cool. Nobody stood up at this board and said anything to BCPSEA or to us. Elmer was the only one who said it upset him.”

Reluctantly, Newton said she would vote yes, because her family had been “brought to their knees”

by the strike, which started in mid-June. Newton and her husband Rory Luxmoore are both teachers.

***With school back, now comes the

challenge of reconciling all the hard feelings engendered by the strike.

In an interview Friday afternoon, with teachers already back in school getting their classrooms set up, superintendent Mike Hooker said the atmosphere was “very positive.”

He said he wasn’t worried about the sentiments expressed by Jenni-fer Wolney but that he was aware the strike would have an impact.

“Anytime there’s that kind of a disruption, it affects different peo-ple in different ways,” he said. “The important things for me and for everyone working together is to acknowledge that it will be a lit-tle bit different for some people and being sensitive to that will be impor-tant.”

One issue left to be resolved is how missed days will be made up. Grade 12 student Grayson Gould said he was excited to go back, but was concerned about how the missed time might affect his educa-tion as he heads towards university. “I’m hoping we’re not going to cut most of the courses or speed every-thing up.”

In Revelstoke, 12.5 days of classes were missed and Hooker said the biggest challenge will be for grade 10, 11 and 12 students who have provincial exams and are get-ting ready for college or university.

“We’re looking right now at what efforts we can make to balance the rest of the semester,” he said. “Our senior academic teachers will look carefully at curriculum trying to fig-ure out a way to ensure that what they felt was most most important things they are covered.”

Tesla Motors is planning to build an electric charging station in Revel-stoke that will be part of a network it is developing along the Trans-Canada Highway corridor in British Colum-bia.

Revelstoke city council gave approval to a development permit application that allows Tesla to build one of its Supercharging stations at the Best Western Plus Hotel in Rev-elstoke.

"Tesla approached us and said Revelstoke was a perfect location," said Brady Beruschi, the manager of the hotel. "They're building their own little station and their going to run their own power supply."

Tesla is an emerging car company

that builds electric vehicles.The charging station will include

four stalls — two specifically for Tesla vehicles, and two for any elec-tric car. It will take up four parking spaces in a corner of the Best West-ern lot.

The Supercharger stations pro-vide 120 kilowatts of power and can recharge a Tesla's battery to half capacity in 20 minutes. A Tesla Model S can travel about 425 kilome-tres at full charge.

A Tesla spokesperson said the Revelstoke station is part of a net-work the company will be opening along the Trans-Canada Highway between Vancouver and Calgary.

According to a map on the Tesla website, Supercharger stations are planned for Hope, Kamloops, Revel-stoke, Golden and Banff.

Tesla opened it's first Supercharger station in Canada in Squamish, B.C., earlier this year.

Beruschi said he talked to Tesla about having the charging station located in the Regent Hotel parking

lot downtown, but that Tesla opted for the highway location.

The Best Western already features one electric car charging outlet that was installed by Sun Country High-way in 2012, though Beruschi said

the outlet doesn't get as much use a he'd like.

"I think it's going to become more of a trend with the vehicles," he said.

Tesla did not say when the Super-charger station would open.

Revelstoke is one of 13 finalists in the B.C.'s 2014 Open for Business Awards, the government announced last week.

"The City of Revelstoke is very excited to have been nominated as a finalist for the Open for Business Award," said Alan Mason, the city's director of economic development, in an e-mail. "The city has provided strong support to the Chamber of Commerce for over 20 years, and

the current city council has made it a priority to try and improve our inter-action with local business. There is still work to be done, but the city is committed to improving our various business and development applica-tion processes and making city hall a 'business friendly' environment."

The announcement comes as a bit of a surprise given that many busi-ness people often talk about how hard it is to do business in Revel-stoke. However, Judy Goodman, the executive director of the Chamber of Commerce, said this is an award the

chamber and city have been work-ing towards since 2013.

She said the key points on the application was that the city has a full-time economic development officer who works in partnership with the chamber and city commit-tees to improve the business envi-ronment; and the social develop-ment and work force initiatives such as Welcoming Communities, Older Workers, Pathways to Success, and the Youth Skills Link programs.

The Open for Business Award was established in 2005 by the BC

Small Business Rountable, a group that represents small businesses to government. Applicants are eval-uated based on how communities enhance small business competitive-ness, recognize the contributions of small businesses to the community, and promote the principles of the BC Small Business Accord.

The other finalists are Delta, Grand Forks, Kelowna, Langley, Nelson, Parksville, Port Coquitlam, Salmon Arm, Smithers, Surrey, Ver-non and Whistler.

The winners will be announced

at the Union of BC Municipali-ties conference in Whistler on Sept. 24. Each winning community will receive $10,000 towards the imple-mentation of measures that support small businesses.

Goodman said that if Revel-stoke wins, the funds will be used to develop guidelines to help busi-ness apply for various city permits and licenses; and to improve the city website to increase access to infor-mation available to small business online.

On October 6, Brit-ish Columbia's Legislative Assembly will be recalled for a fall session that will continue through October and Novem-ber. The main focus of these two months will be on a series of pieces of legislation related

to the tax and royalty structure for the liqui� ed natural gas (LNG) industry. Despite the government's claim that LNG is their number one priority, the presentation of this legisla-tion is already one year behind schedule.

The BC Liberals promised British Columbia voters that their LNG plan would result in a $100 billion Prosperity Fund, 12 to 15 LNG plants, the elimination of a $68 billion provincial debt, a trillion dol-lars worth of economic activ-ity and 100,000 jobs. But I'm not sure there are many British Columbians who still believe what the BC Liberals are say-ing.

As your MLA, it is my job to look for the truth behind BC Liberal claims. My job is to look beyond government spin and � nd out what is really hap-pening. My job is to speak out when government actions do not put the best interest of my constituents � rst.

And my job is to raise issues of importance to this area. You are telling me to push the BC Liberal government to make good on their promise to four-lane the Trans Canada High-way in our area.

You tell me that you want your right to have a say in managing our public lands restored. You tell me that you want to have con� dence in the

provincial government's abil-ity to properly manage one of our greatest assets, our public lands.

You tell me that you value public education and public healthcare, and you want the needs of our children and our seniors to be our government's priority.

These are the things that I will be � ghting for as I return to the legislature. Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to contact me to share your thoughts and concerns.

MLA REPORTBY NORM MACDONALD

Announcing the Best of Revelstoke results

This week, after months of speculation, rumours, gossip, betting and attempts at bribery, the results of the Best of Revel-stoke reader survey are out.

Why did it take so long? We launched the survey more than two months ago. We pub-lished it early because we were afraid we wouldn’t get many responses. Turns out we were wrong on that count. In the end, 293 people completed surveys. That was more than expected, and as a result, it took longer to compile than expected.

There were other prob-lems. For one, I made a terri-ble mistake by making all the answers completely open. This was good because it let people answer anything they wanted. This was bad, because peo-

ple could answer whatever they wanted, and because people spell Paramjit’s many, many dif-ferent ways. Not to mention the many ways of referring to the Village Idiot, the River City Pub and your favourite tradesperson.

Many of the results were expected, but there were some surprises. Some categories (mostly the food ones) got lots of responses, while others (those about people) got much fewer. With that, I’d say it’s pretty con-clusive that the Big Eddy Pub has the best wing night, but not quite as conclusive that Scott Duke is the best politician.

Some results will simply cement what people already know (that skiing is really fun) while others will be a boon for some businesses. I expect Griz-zly Auto might get a little bus-ier and Alyssa Sanderson might pick up a few new clients.

Regardless, the survey is sup-posed to be fun. The winners are getting certi� cates and they can brag to their friends. And maybe it will inspire someone to make better nachos than the Village Idiot, in which case you can thank me later for the great public service the Best of Revel-stoke survey has provided.

Editor, I am writing to express my con-

cern about the planned logging for the Mount Macpherson area.

My concerns about the logging in this area ought to be shared by all users for a variety of reasons. Prov-ince-wide, Revelstoke is a desirable place to ride and this didn’t happen overnight. Over the last 10 years, I have seen the community promote, enhance and enjoy biking and skiing opportunities in the Macpherson trail network. Revelstoke has grown from being a relatively unknown biking destination to becoming internation-ally renowned for its riding opportu-nities. In addition to the well-estab-lished skiing culture we so love, we continue to see consistent tour-ism growth for summer adventure activities: biking being the primary interest for these people. I encoun-ter many visitors in the winter rav-ing about our world class winter rec-reation! I always add, “you should see this place in the summer.” And I mean it.

Our trail networks are second to none. Based on my own broad travel experience with my bikes, there are not many towns who boast trail net-works such as ours. The economic, cultural, and public relations benefits of increased summer tourism to our

community supplements the winter season and furthers the year-round growth we are experiencing. I expect once the results from the recent mountain biker’s trail use survey conducted by the Chamber of Com-merce are available, these trends will be even more clearly visible.

Secondly, we all ought to be con-cerned because this is not a small logging project with minimal effect to area trails. The area slated to be logged includes one of the signature trails of the Macpherson network. TNT is frequently ridden by locals and is my first recommendation to visitors for a fine Revelstoke cycling experience. I can only imagine our ability to showcase this area will be compromised by logging activity in the area and the establishment of another new 'cutblock' trail.

Furthermore, logging in that area will affect users during the time of the harvest, as we will be unable to use the centre of the network due to active logging and machinery.

Approach the supporting argu-ments for harvesting this area with healthy skepticism. When I hear both the BC Timber Sales and the Revelstoke Cycling Association say logging will not affect the trails, I vehemently disagree. For me, the argument that trails affected by the

logged block can be rehabilitated is incorrect and misleading. For exam-ple, the loss of the surrounding tim-ber will impact trails beyond what is possible for quick rehabilita-tion. The tree canopy protects the trails from the constant onslaught of the Revelstoke rainy season, and the baking sun during summer. The roots hold the soil together, keeping it safe, tacky, and minimizing trail erosion. In the winter, the trees pro-tect the trails from the spring sun and the drifting of snow caused by wind.

Dare I even mention the intrin-sic value of cycling or skiing in the trees? Ridging and skiing in defor-ested areas is just not that much fun. One can only enjoy the aesthetics of riding through so many cut blocks before they choose a more authen-tic outdoor experience. We have a unique eco-system in Revelstoke that ought to be preserved. The same climate conditions that make the trees so valuable to logging compa-nies make the ecosystem valuable to those who enjoy cycling and Nordic skiing not only for the workout but also for the time to be in the forest.

All of this seems to be contem-plated notwithstanding the lessons we should have learned from past harvesting on and near established local trails. When the Begbie Bench

area was logged by Stella Jones, they infringed upon a land manage-ment agreement that had been put in place to protect our recreational areas from logging and to ensure land use was consisted with the goals of diverse user groups. This indifference toward shared use of our resources cannot be allowed to be repeated in this case. We need to ensure that the local community has a plan for the use of this area that puts recreation first.

The plan to harvest this area by putting it up for tender to estab-lish a benchmark price going for-ward is artificial and contrived. The price that this block will fetch will never truly reflect the costs to the local community. In terms of lost tourism revenues, in-kind volunteer labour hours and ski club resources we stand to lose direct future invest-ment in our community. People will choose to ride and live elsewhere: where trails are sustainable and shared according to established let-ters of understanding.

With regard to BC forest fire fighter labour time and Columbia Basin Trust grant money spent to build, improve and maintain the trail network, we lose hours and dollars of effort already spent on developing this area. Having worked in the for-

est industry in the past, I understand the roll this industry plays in contrib-uting to our community. However, it is my opinion that this block is not a community sustaining project; its purpose is to set a benchmark for the industry and generate direct net rev-enue for the province. Its benefit, if any, does not serve any local pur-pose. The $320,000 block on auc-tion will cause a large impact in our recreational community but a small impact when considering the $437 million net revenues generate by BCTS. There is no guarantee that the winning bid will bring either direct or indirect jobs to our community.

As a member of this community I want to be proud of our recreational opportunities. I want to continue to champion that I live here because in Revelstoke I have the best of both worlds — a meaningful career and an epic playground steps from my door. I hope that BCTS will recon-sider their plans to put our valuable recreational facilities up for auction and that the RCA will take a stronger stance towards preserving our local area trails for recreational use.

Thank you for your consider-ation,

Carol PrinceRevelstoke

Income security is about how much money you make compared to how much it costs to live in our community. It is also about stability: Does your income fluctuate seasonally? Are you at risk of hav-ing less money in the future?

When doing research for the Poverty Reduction Strategy, we found that some populations in Revel-stoke have lower income security and are at much higher risk of living in poverty. In 2010, the average annual family income in Revelstoke was about 12% below the provincial average. Since 2008, median incomes have dropped, particularly for men. Despite women gradually closing the gap, the median income of women is still just less than half that of men. And in the past few years, the number of Rev-elstoke residents receiving Employment Insurance and Income Assistance has been on the rise.

When you compare people’s income to the cost of living in Revelstoke, a real picture emerges. Using an affordability ‘snapshot’, we found that the total cost for a single person to live in Revelstoke (mod-estly), is about $20,000 to $30,000 per year depend-ing on if they have a car or not, live in shared accom-modation or by themselves. To put this into perspec-tive, a single person receiving Income Assistance makes about $7,000 a year, and someone receiving Disability Assistance (and unable to work), makes just under $11,000 a year.

For a single parent with one child, including child care we found it cost at least $46,000 a year to live, but in 2010 the median annual income for single parent families (who may have more than one child) in Revelstoke, was $37,340. The bare minimum cost of living for a family of four was $66,000 a year. This meant that both parents had to be working at least 35 hours per week, making $17.75 per hour. You can see why improving income security for all residents is an important community goal.

Despite Revelstoke’s diverse economy, this is a challenge. Perhaps the biggest challenge (and we are not alone) is the rising cost of living compared to the ability of many businesses to pay a living wage. Lots of people want to live here because it’s such a great community and the lifestyle suits them, but it is hard to find meaningful work where they can earn enough to make ends meet.

But many try. Some bring their jobs with them. Many work two or three jobs. Others, particularly those with very little, are ingenious about budget-ing and employ strategies for getting by, like find-ing roommates to help cover the cost of housing and food, walking or biking instead of driving, shop-ping at Thrift Stores and garage sales, not using a credit card, sharing babysitting, or, for seniors, get-ting a part-time job to supplement their pension. For some, volunteering is a stepping-stone to higher-level employment.

Ironically, the Poverty Reduction Strategy found that those who were most vulnerable and destitute in our community – and so have the lowest income security – were people who cannot work and are receiving government supports. Even for a single person with modest needs, $7,000 to $11,000 a year isn’t near enough. For many years, B.C. has had the highest child poverty rate in Canada. Provincially, advocacy groups like the BC Poverty Coalition are calling for the BC government to create a poverty reduction strategy to address these concerns. In June this year, there was great fanfare surrounding the announcement of the province’s Accessibility 2014 plan. Unfortunately, in the plan there was no men-tion of changing disability rates — the most burning issue for those unable to work.

Nevertheless, the first step towards income secu-

Huckleberries — shiny, blue-black and juicy, these sweet berries are a food source for many wildlife species and bears love’em! In late summer and early fall, up to 89 per cent of a grizzly bear’s diet can be made up of huckleberries — as evidenced by their purple droppings. It’s amazing to see how many berries a bear consumes.

Parks Canada understands that huckleberries are an impor-tant food source for black and grizzly bears in the Selkirks, and this summer a pilot study was conducted on black huckleber-ries (Vaccinium membranaceum) in Mount Revelstoke and Gla-cier National Parks to learn more about huckleberry distribution and production.

By gathering data on where huckleberry bushes are and how healthy and productive the berry crops are, Parks Canada can establish baseline data that can then be compared to future years. Patterns will be looked for over time to help forecast good and poor berry crop years. Since bears go where the berries are, Parks Canada may be able to pre-

dict bear foraging activity and reduce human-bear interactions.

The � rst step was to map out huckleberry terrain. Using a GIS-based mapping tool, they were able to determine suitable loca-tions before checking sites on foot.

Staff then visited the areas of consideration to determine if there was black huckleberry present (and there was) and they selected speci� c locations repre-sentative of both parks in order to gather a broader picture of berry production. Nine sites were selected in Mount Revel-stoke National Park and seven in Glacier National Park. Staff then developed a berry monitor-ing protocol and established long-term monitoring plots that can be assessed each year.

Plots were chosen from three elevation gradients (low, mid and high elevations) where huckle-berries were found. Research-ers then selected a start point, recorded the GPS coordinates and then placed a 20x20 centime-tre quadrat (square frame) every 0.5 metre in a straight line. Ber-ries in the frame were counted, assessed and categorized (ripe, unripe, diseased etc). Ripe ber-ries were weighed while wet, and

saved for drying, after which they will again be weighed.

From this � rst season of study, staff found that berry production (determined by number of berries found) was greater in high eleva-tion areas compared to mid and low elevation. They also discov-ered more diseased berries than they had anticipated, especially Mummy berry disease (Mon-ilinia).

Over time, the data collected can be compared to weather fac-tors such as temperature, precip-itation and snow depth to deter-mine if they in� uence berry pro-duction. If crop variability can be predicted by weather patterns, then berry production monitor-ing could be potentially replaced by an annual analysis of weather data.

Results on the huckleberry research are preliminary, but the project shows how Parks Can-ada contributes to the goals of the National Conservation Plan by safeguarding and enhanc-ing biodiversity and ecosystems through conservation and stew-ardship actions. Over the long-term, the data will prove invalu-able towards the health of the park and for managing human-bear interactions.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s trip down the Columbia

The man whose assassina-tion sparked the First World War was unimpressed with ruf� ans he encountered on a voyage down the Arrow Lakes and Columbia River.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, whose sudden death in Sarajevo in 1914 plunged Europe into a deadly four-year con� ict, made a world tour in 1892-93 that took him to India, Australia, Japan, the US, and Canada.

His two-volume travelogue was published in German in 1896 as Tagebuch Meiner Reise um die Erde (Diary of My Trip Around the World), but has never been translated into English until now. An online project at franzferdi-nandsworld.com has been posting one entry per day, corresponding to the date of his original journey. His brief visit to West Kootenay occurred 121 years ago this week.

The archduke arrived in Van-couver from Japan on September 5, 1893 and departed two days later for Banff. He then back-tracked to Penticton, and reached Revelstoke late in the evening on the 17th, where his party left its wagons and boarded the Colum-bia and Kootenay Steam Naviga-tion Company’s steamer Colum-bia, en route for Northport, Wash.

He noted the ship could accom-modate 100 � rst class passengers, but despite being launched only two years earlier, “it seems to be quite old and in need of repairs, as everywhere it was posted that

the life-belts were to be found under the beds in each cabin. In my cabin I discovered that I could look through yawning gaps in the ship’s side while it directly rained through the deck on the bed of one of the other gentlemen.”

At 4 a.m. the following day, “Noise, rumbling and the whiny howls of the steamer’s whis-tle” announced the boat’s depar-ture. Ferdinand admired “the skill and audacity” of the captain who drove his “hard-to-steer ship” at full speed through the narrow val-ley.

But again he mentioned the “numerous life-belts” which were “apparently deemed suf� cient for all eventualities as it is well known that human lives do not count for all that much in Amer-ica.”

The ship passed by a forest that had suffered a � re, and then came upon an area that had been spared but where a railway was planned, “thus putting an end to the splendid forest.”

Ferdinand noted this part of BC was “one of the least known and explored parts” of North America by Europeans. Most new residents were prospectors who panned for gold and combed the mountains for minerals, although there were also farmers, for whom the ship was transporting a plow.

At some point, the steamer dropped a group of prospectors off in the middle of nowhere. Fer-dinand wasn’t sorry to see them go.

“One can … imagine with-

out dif� culty the strange com-pany assembled on board. Ugly and rough fellows were mill-ing around on deck and in the salons in threadbare torn clothes with large hats on their heads and a revolver near their hands. This gave us the opportunity to acquaint ourselves already here with the American ruthlessness. Everywhere these fellows were lounging around, putting their feet upon couches and chairs, spitting everywhere and tak-ing possession of books that had been left for just a moment in the salon.”

Ferdinand noted only one set-tlement along the way, which “owes its existence to a silver mine that had been opened in the Selkirk Range and is said to be quite rich.” This might have been Nakusp or Trail. Castlegar didn’t yet exist.

He continued: “In this set-tlement that consisted of multi-ple small log huts with the ines-capable shop and a steam saw, we saw all workers united at the landing pier as it just was pay day for which our steamer brought the money.”

Ferdinand complained that loading wood into the ship’s boiler ”seemed to go on forever.” Logs were stacked at the forest’s edge, and the ship landed in the mud nearby so the crew could retrieve them.

A dense fog that morning pre-vented a clear view of the river and it started to rain that after-noon, turning so bitterly cold that Ferdinand had to huddle in the salon with the “spitting sons of the wilderness.”

Fortunately for him, an Amer-ican woman “who was by the way very pretty had suf� cient mercy with us and permitted us to smoke for which we were greatly thankful.”

Did his fellow passengers real-ize who Ferdinand was? Possi-bly not, as his head chamberlain, Count Wumbrand, wrote in a tele-gram that they were “Traveling in strict incognito.”

It’s unclear where the steamer tied up for the night, but it crossed the international bound-ary at about 10 a.m. the next day and a few minutes later landed at the Northport wharf, where Fer-dinand’s party was whisked to a special train bound for Spokane. According to the Spokane Daily Chronicle, “It took nearly half an hour to crowd the load of trunks, satchels and bundles into the bag-gage car.”

Ferdinand continued on his way, gazing through the window at the trees and villages along the way, and chatting with his com-panions, blissfully unaware his name would become inextricably linked with one of the worst con-� icts of the 20th century.

Nearly 20 years before Franz Ferdinand’s assassination precipitated the war to end all wars, he took a steamer ride down the Arrow Lakes.

Grizz win 2 of 3 at home

Jeff Bochon (18) comes in to celebrate with Steven Fiust after Fiust scored the game winner against the Chase Heat in double-overtime on Saturday. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

The Revelstoke Grizzlies took two out of three games in a weekend home stand, rebounding from a loss on Friday to win their next two matches. “Overall, I would say we had a good effort in all three games,” said coach Ryan Parent. “I think even the first game we competed hard. We’re start-ing to gain a little bit more structure in the way we play and we’re starting to get down to what might more closely resemble our roster for this year.”

On Friday, the Sicamous Eagles were in Revelstoke in a rematch of the previous weekend’s season opener. This time, it was the Eagles turn to produce a comeback win, as they scored three times in the final five minutes, including an empty netter, for a 6-4 win.

Zach Morey opened the scoring for the Grizzlies with a power play goal five min-utes into the first period. In the second, the

teams traded goals, with Braydon McCar-thy tying the game for Sicamous before Justin Marreck put Revelstoke ahead with help from Carter Huber.

The Eagles would respond with two straight goals to take a 3-2 lead, but Ste-ven Fiust evened the score before the period was over.

In the third, Huber scored to give Rev-elstoke the lead, but Sicamous would bat-tle back, scoring twice in the span of a min-ute to go up 5-4, and cementing the victory with an empty-netter in the final minute.

Revelstoke outshot Sicamous 64-39 in front of 256 fans.

On Saturday, the Grizzlies faced the Chase Heat in a low-scoring, but still excit-ing game. Jordan Passmore scored with 5:48 left in the first to put the Heat up 1-0. After that, Chase goaltender Nic Bruyere shut the door and kept Chase in front

rity for anyone – even if you have no income – is to file an income tax return. This will open doors to any government supports that exist. In Revelstoke each spring the Volunteer Income Tax Program helps lower income residents to file income tax returns. Over the years this program has given many residents a helping

hand when in need.Elsewhere in our community, the

local WorkBC office is up to date on wage subsidy programs, train-ing and self-employment options, among the provision of many other services. Community Futures offers business development support. Okanagan College offers a vari-ety of upgrading and certification programs to improve employment

options. The Columbia Basin Trust has student works programs. This list goes on.

Recently, the City’s Community Economic Development Depart-ment and WorkBC partnered on a project that will look at the sea-sonal nature of different industries from forestry to tourism, as well as the changing nature of Revel-stoke’s ‘potential employee’ pool.

A younger, more mobile workforce has different needs and expectations of their employers, yet many local industries, like forestry, need a com-mitted workforce. It is hoped the project will help determine the cur-rent and future labour market needs of each sector in our local economy, and develop a strategy to match the skills of the new, mobile workforce with the needs of local employers.

As well, the continuing efforts of local business and the Chamber of Commerce to support building a diverse economy in our community, are critical. Among many other areas of our lives, income impacts health — not only for individuals, but also for the community as a whole. The more we work together to close the gap between incomes and the cost of living, the better off we will all be.

despite his team being badly outshot.

It wasn’t until 13:53 of the third that Revelstoke was able to even the game when defenceman Zach Morey fired home a cross ice pass to send the game to overtime.

The first period of overtime solved nothing and the game looked to be heading for a tie when Fiust somehow knocked the puck into the net while crashing into Bruyere.

On Sunday, Revelstoke hosted the Grand Forks Border Bruins. The Griz-zlies jumped out quickly, taking advantage of three Grand Forks’ penalties to take a 3-0 lead after one. Ryan Hozjan, Kenny Batke and Tristan Simm scored for Revelstoke.

In the second, Tyler Chavez-Leech scored to put Revelstoke up 4-0. Coleton Dawson, who played for Revelstoke last year, got one back for Grand Forks, but Bochon responded for Revelstoke to restore the Grizzlies four -goal lead.

Grand Forks would score twice in the third to make the game close, but it would end 5-3 in Revel-stoke’s favour.

Following the week-end, Parent said he’s happy with the way the team is shaping up so far, and also noting they’ve been out in the commu-nity, such as volunteer-ing with the food drive. He likes the roster he’s assembled — now it’s a matter of coaching.

“Going forward it’s going to be a matter of coaching and players being committed to the program and committed to the process,” he said.

He said he liked the team’s depth this year; 10 different players have scored goals so far. “We’re not going to be a one-trick pony,” he said. “We are a lineup that has depth right through from the first to the fourth line.”

The team is on the road this week, with a game in Chase on Wednesday, fol-lowed by matches against Kamloops and 100 Mile House on Friday and Sat-urday.
