REVIEWHeli hiking in the Selkirks

The helicopter touched down gently on a flat section of a ridgeline and we exited to the side, crouching down a few yards away to wait for the pilot to take off again. We were dropped off at 2,000 metres elevation, up in the alpine in the new summer tenure of Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing, which is now operating a variety of summer helicop-

ter adventures in partnership with Revel-stoke Mountain Resort.

Jeff Honig, the Operations Manager of Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing, and our guide for the day, explained that Selkirk Tangi-ers is aiming to become a four season op-erator and diversify it's clientele. They are hoping to attract more summer visitors to Revelstoke by offering heli sightseeing, heli picnics, heli hiking, glacier treks and moun-taineering, and heli biking. It is a stand-

alone venture at the moment, but they will be packaging deals with local hotels in the coming years.

The summer tenure is not the same as their heliskiing tenure. They have a sepa-rate Commercial Adventure Tourism Ten-ure covering 50,000 acres, about one-tenth of the winter range. It took two years and an Environmental Assessment before approval was given to operate in the fragile alpine en-vironment, and hiking will be guided only,

to comply with the assessment and reduce visitor impact.

There will also eventually be a large net-work of mostly cross country mountain bike trails, although to date the only biking adventure on offer is a drop off on Mt. Cart-ier. When asked if he was concerned about the local biking community poaching the trails, Honig smiled and said that the trails

FAMILY FUN DAY AT THE REVELSTOKE DAM VISITOR CENTRE

The MP for Kootenay-Columbia has rejected a challenge issued by his NDP rival to hold eight debates throughout the riding during the upcoming election campaign.

David Wilks, the Conservative MP who has represented the rid-ing since 2011, said he wasn't in-terested in forming a committee that would arrange debates in the riding's eight major communities — Revelstoke, Cranbrook, Nelson, Golden, Kimberley, Invermere, Fer-nie and Creston.

While Wilks did respond to the Review's request for comment on the NDP challenge, he did speak to our sister paper the Nelson Star.

“The NDP candidate can regur-gitate issues from 2011 if he likes," he said. "I am living in 2015 and will continue to work for the constitu-ency as I have for the past four years and will not concern myself with what happened then.”

Wilks was referring to criticism he only attended three of seven de-bates in 2011.

He also downplayed the useful-

ness of all-candidate debates. “For the most part, those that come to all-candidate forums have made up their minds who they are vot-ing for, and as a result of that, the candidates normally know who is coming to the mic, what the ques-tion will be, and who it is directed toward," he said. "That is what you can expect from the all-candidates forums.”

Liberal candidate Don Johnston said he welcomed the NDP request to set up eight debates, while Green Party candidate upped the ante, proposing three additional debates in Salmo, Kaslo and Crawford Bay.

Late last month, the Week to End Enbridge raised over $100,000 as part of the Pull Together campaign, collecting funds for the legal defence costs of First Nations opposing that corpora-tion’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. This week of events brought the total amount raised in the past year to over half a million dollars.

The occasion was the one-year anniversary of the federal government’s decision to give the green light to the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline, after it received conditional approval from the National Energy Board.

This decision by the Conservative govern-ment was made despite everything we know about the risks of the pipeline, which would ship diluted bitumen from the Alberta tar sands across northern B.C. for export on tankers from Kitimat. Northern Gateway puts in danger pris-tine salmon-bearing streams and rivers, and the beautiful, difficult-to-navigate narrow channels of the northwest coast. British Columbians have very clearly said ‘No’ to this mega-project.

Dozens of events were held across British Co-lumbia. Everything from rallies and concerts, to a paddle in the Pacific ocean, to a blues concert in Prince George.

Here in Revelstoke, we did our part and col-lected hundreds of dollars to contribute to this effort to stop the pipeline.

With the help of some friends and generous businesses who gave their time and some great prizes — acupuncture from Jade Mountain, massage at Bodylogic, coffee from Stoke Roast-ed, tea from Clayoquot Botanicals, and some gift cards from my store, Mountain Goodness — we put a callout for donations around town. We also held a yoga-by-donation class at Balu Studio, and donated sales of a special chocolate bar from

Denman Island Chocolate to the cause. Earlier in June, we also organized an event at Sangha Bean Café, to raise funds and inform local residents.

The willingness of small businesses to pitch in to this effort to stop Enbridge is not just some-thing we’re seeing in Revelstoke. It’s true across the province. Business owner are dipping into their slim profit margins to help out. To give just a few examples: In Richmond, farmers are do-nating proceeds of carrot sales all summer to the cause; in the tiny coastal village of Klemtu, the Spirit Bear eco-tourism lodge donated as well; and, in Horsefly, the J. Romero Banjo company donated from the sale of banjos.

The amazing diversity of people pulling to-gether to stop Enbridge should give pause to the oil executives and any politicians who still sup-port this pipeline. Enbridge may have approval from the NEB and the Harper government, but they certainly don’t have approval from B.C.

Of course, oil companies are not in the busi-ness of taking no for an answer. They will try to pull more tricks out of their hat, and that’s why we have to keep up our support for those on the frontline of the effort to stop this pipeline.

There are now a total of 18 lawsuits filed by a number of First Nations calling on the federal government to reverse its decision on Northern Gateway. At this stage, this legal effort is prob-ably the best tool for stalling and eventually stopping this pipeline. With some of the court cases expected to start this fall, the Pull Together campaign is hoping to hit $650,000 by the end of the summer.

First Nations have clearly said no to this pipe-line from the beginning. Thanks to the generos-ity of people here in Revelstoke and across BC, they will have the support they need for the costly business of fighting this pipeline in court.

VICTORIA – The B.C. legislature is back in session this week, a rare summer sitting to approve a 25-year project agreement for the first large-scale liquefied natural gas project in northern B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong released the lengthy legal agreement prior to the debate, saying this step should remove any doubt that an international investment group led by Petronas of Malaysia intends to go ahead.

With billions invested in upstream resourc-es and buyers waiting at home, the Pacific Northwest LNG group includes Chinese state corporation Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp., Japan Petroleum Exploration Corp. and Petroleum Brunei.

The most contentious issue is the govern-ment’s intention to protect the investors from “discriminatory” tax and regulations for the life of the project. The government insists these sorts of long-term cost certainty agreements are commonplace, and don’t affect provincial and federal taxes or environmental regulations unless they single out LNG operations.

Future governments can raise corporate tax rates, carbon tax or enter into a cap and trade system. Ottawa can scrap capital cost al-lowances that were recently extended to LNG producers, which is significant because Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has indicated he would get rid of what he calls subsidies to fossil fuels.

Both the province and Ottawa allow capi-tal cost write-offs against corporate tax, to attract investment. B.C. attracted a lot of gas drilling rigs from Alberta with tax breaks for deep drilling.

The B.C. government invited comparisons with Western Australia LNG producers, and NDP researchers did just that. They noted that Australia’s Gorgon and North West Shelf LNG projects have written provisions that local em-ployment and local suppliers will get preference.

Those are absent in B.C., along with appren-

ticeship guarantees for LNG.“There was hard bargaining by the compa-

nies, and certainly the premier went into this negotiation in a very weak position, having to deliver on her extravagant and grandiose promises from the election,” NDP critic Bruce Ralston said. “The companies did well. Wheth-er the citizens of British Columbia did well is certainly an open question.”

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver painted himself into a corner, having spent the last two years dismissing the B.C. LNG industry as a fantasy that will never come to pass, strictly on economic grounds. He has since branded the Petronas deal, a template for any future projects, a “generational sellout.”

Another big player with gas well invest-ments in northeast B.C. is Shell, with a pro-posal for Kitimat. Its prospects have improved since it took over British Gas Group, which had its own LNG intentions here. Another group led by Altagas remains on track to ship LNG from its Douglas Channel site before the end of the decade.

It’s important to remember that without LNG exports, B.C.’s natural gas industry will shrink rapidly after 50 years of increasingly significant revenues from sales to the U.S. Leaving aside all the political positioning around the province’s largest private invest-ment to date, if this doesn’t go ahead we will all feel the effects.

De Jong had a blunt response when asked what the province gets in return for all its guar-antees of low tax environment: “Their money.”

At peak construction, Pacific Northwest LNG will need as many as 4,500 workers, with 500 or more operations jobs depending on how far it expands.

The finance ministry forecasts that once Pacific Northwest LNG is up and running, it represents $9 billion in revenues to the prov-ince over 10 years, including gas royalties and taxes. That’s more than taxpayers can expect from the entire forest industry.

If you get a tick on you or your pet, remove it as soon as possible. Use fine-tipped tweezers and grasp the head-end of the tick as close to the skin as possible and pull up with a steady, even pressure without twisting. After the tick is removed, wash the area with soap and water. If you have problems, get medical help.

July 28 is World Hepatitis Day. Six key points are being stressed: 1. There are vaccines available to prevent Hepatitis A & B, but none for Hepatitis C, although a new

drug is available to treat Hep-C. About 242,000 Canadians are living with Hep-C and many of them don’t know it. It may take 10-20 years for symptoms to occur, but liver damage has been occurring all that time. If you are over 60 and had been exposed to blood products before 1992, get tested.

The more hours we spend daily at our jobs, the greater the risk we are of abusing alcohol. Longer hours adds more stress to our lives and alcohol is often used as a

stress reducer.

Sometimes, people confuse the words dementia and Alzheimer’s as being the same thing. Actually, dementia is a general category of brain malfunction while Alzheimers is one of many types of dementia.

There is much research being done on the cause and treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease. You can be sure when new treatments become available, our pharmacists will know about it. We are a great drug information resource.

A proposal has come forward to build a shopping centre along the Trans-Canada Highway through Revelstoke.

Hall Pacific Enterprises wants to develop a commercial zone that would include a gro-cery store and a pharmacy as anchor retail-ers.

"Its a retail shopping village that's high-way oriented," said Fraser Hall, the princi-pal partner in Hall Pacific Enterprises.

The shopping centre would be located on two large empty lots off the highway along Bend Road. The area was the proposed site for a hotel and restaurant development un-til property owner Steve Platt dropped his plans several years ago, citing an unfavour-able development climate at city hall.

Fraser Hall says Platt approached him about the potential to develop the site. They then approached city hall to see if the mayor and staff were supportive of the idea.

"We both had words with the planning staff and mayor, and they think the time might be right to make this happen," said Hall.

According to a site plan, the proposed de-velopment would include a grocery store, drug store, liquor store, auto mechanic, bank, two restaurants and four other store-fronts on 9.5 acres of land along the highway.

Hall said he had interested retailers but would not reveal the identity of the poten-tial anchor tenants. "I don't have anyone on paper," he said.

The development would look to capitalize on passing highway traffic.

"In terms of the numbers, it comes to the metrics of how many cars are driving by on the highway," said Hall. "They're very high numbers and they're attractive to these ten-ants."

Before proceeding, the property needs to be re-zoned by allow for grocery, pharmacy, health and welfare services uses.

The bylaw amendment was set to go to council at its July 14 meeting, held after press time.

The proposal was discussed by the city's advisory planning commission last Tues-day, July 7. Fraser Blyth, the chair of the APC, said committee members expressed concern that it would it lead to increased car use in town, which is counter to goals outlined in the Official Community Plan.

"We all hope something happens with this piece of land, and we think there are a lot of uses in the current zoning to allow some-thing good and creative," he said. "We're ap-proaching it with the OCP as a background and the input from community members that sit on the APC, and we're questioning if the proposed amendments are the best use in this location."

Speaking from his perspective as a plan-ner, Blyth said he didn't think the highway was the best location for a new grocery store and pharmacy.

"As a community, part of what makes Revelstoke great is we don't have a tonne of this kind of development," he said. "As a community, do we want a strip mall?"

One concern is the impact the develop-ment could have on downtown businesses.

"I think it's going to be one of those 50-50, 60-40 splits, where some people are really passionate and think that new de-velopment and more tax dollars are good, and others will think it will spoil the down-town," aid Judy Goodman, the executive director of the Chamber of Commerce. "I'm not sure it would spoil our downtown. I think our downtown is so strong."

She said talked to the proponent about having a small visitor centre or video ki-osks inside stores to encourage people to go downtown.

At the same time, Goodman said new de-velopment was good, especially on a big site

that's been sitting empty for years. "I would have loved to see a hotel — that's what it's zoned for — however this is what we've got," she said. "I'm on the fence on this one.

"It's going to be interesting to see what the public thinks."

Hall said the development would get peo-ple to stop in Revelstoke and then consider going into town. "I'm not sure the concerns are that founded," he said, adding: "It is a concern and one that has to be heard, and council will deliberate on. I don't want to build something the locals don't want."

Hall said he hopes to begin construction next spring, with completion for 2018. He didn't provide a price tag for the develop-ment.

Wildfires continue to spark in southeast-ern B.C., even with wetter and cooler tem-peratures over the weekend.

"We've had eight new fires since Sunday in the Southeast Fire Centre and 68 since last Thursday, which brings us to 253 in 2015," said Fanny Bernard, an information officer with the fire centre. "Last year at the same time we had 36 fires in the southeast."

The night of Friday, July 10, was the bus-iest for new fires, with 44 lightning-caused fires. One fire, near the base of Mount Ayl-win south of Silverton, resulted in an evac-uation alert for 17 homes in the area. As of Monday the fire was eight hectares and was being battled by a unit crew out of Revel-stoke, along with two helicopters.

As of press time the fire was 10 per cent contained.

So far Revelstoke has escaped the brunt of the wildfire situation plaguing much of the province. According to the BC Wildfire Service, there were several small fires burn-ing near here, however none were of note.

The majority of fires – 197 out of 253 – were caused by lightning, said Bernard.

"We've had a phenomenal amount of lightning since the start of June in the Southeast Fire Centre and most of these fires have been contained in the initial at-tack phase," she said. "It's really good work by the crews suppressing these fires when they were small."

The one regional fire that did get away from them is the Sitkum Creek fire near Nelson, which had grown to 450 hectares as of Monday's press time. The fire was being battled by 120 firefighters, four helicopters and six pieces of heavy equipment. It was 30 per cent contained by Monday.

Rain over the weekend helped bring down the fire rating from extreme in the Revelstoke area to moderate, however it was forecast to climb back to high again this week. More rain was forecast through-out the week.

"We would need a lot more rain to sig-nificantly alter the fire danger rating," said Bernard.

A campfire ban is place for almost the en-tire province.

"It's still dry out there and definitely not a time to be in violation of any prohibitions we have in place," said Bernard.

Internet access for rural residents in ar-eas such as Trout Lake will be improved thanks to a $3.34 million funding an-nouncement by the federal government on Wednesday.

The funding has been handed to the Co-lumbia Basin Trust (CBT) to provide high speed Internet to 11,000 households in the Kootenay region by 2017.

“Depending on the work required some areas may see something sooner,” Delphi Hoodicoff, the CBT’s director of communi-cation, told Black Press on Thursday.

The goal is to provide download speeds of up to 10 megabits per second (Mbps) to

households in rural areas across.In its press release, the CBT said its sub-

sidiary, Columbia Basin Broadband Corpo-ration, will be working with a dozen Inter-net service providers to do the work.

For a full list of the service providers in-volved in the project visit cbt.org.

With James Moore, the federal Minis-ter of Industry, in attendance, Kootenay Columbia MP David Wilks made the an-nouncement alongside local government representatives and Internet Service Pro-viders (ISP) partners in Cranbrook.

“Today we live in an increasingly bor-derless world connected by the Internet,” said Wilks. “New technology has created tremendous opportunity for Canadians to

communicate with each other and for busi-nesses to compete globally.

“The Internet makes things cheaper and the world smaller.”

Currently, 94 per cent of Canadians have access to high-speed Internet, but the chal-lenge becomes servicing the remaining six per cent in rural areas of the country, Wilks added.

“Canada is a digital nation and as busi-nesses increasingly move online to do business, speeds of 1.5 mbps simply aren’t good enough anymore,” he said.

“Modern websites are often designed for faster speeds and business increasingly need to transfer larger files and use cloud computing.”

The federal government considers the floor of high-speed Internet to be five mbps.

Moore noted that the funding is coming out of a $305 million commitment from the 2014 federal budget that aims to get high-speed Internet to 280,000 house-holds by 2017.

That program has been a big success, Moore said.

“We’ve overshot our goal by 75,000 households and we’ve done so at 40 per cent under budget and the footprint of these 11,000 that we’re announcing to-day—we’re doubling the Internet speeds that we’ve had for the national goal,” Moore said.

The funding came out of a $5 billion revenue stream stemming from a wireless spectrum sale in 2014, he added.

Columbia Basin Trust is helping the province to double the number of mobile decontamination units aimed at stopping invasive mussels from entering British Columbia waterways, thanks to $360,000 in new funding.

This new partnership, in the Minis-try of Environment led Invasive Mussel Defence Program, also includes support from Columbia Power Corporation, For-tisBC and the four local invasive species councils operating in the region East Kootenay Invasive Plant Council, Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society, Co-lumbia Shuswap Invasive Species Society and the Northwest Invasive Plant Coun-cil.

“Preventing the threat of invasive mus-sels is critical to protecting our water-ways for environmental, economic and recreational reasons, and has been iden-tified as a priority by the residents that live here," said Neil Muth, the president and CEO of the Columbia Basin Trust. "Increasing the level of protection in this region is key and we are pleased to sup-port the prevention efforts this summer to keep mussels out of the Columbia Ba-sin.”

The new resources mean an additional three mobile inspection and decontami-nation crews will be dedicated to stopping and ensuring boats are free of mussels. The teams will be based in Cranbrook, Valemount and Nelson, to target major entry points from Alberta and the U.S. The new teams join three other crews that are already operational, doubling the number of mobile units dedicated to pro-tecting B.C.'s lakes and rivers against the threat of quagga and zebra mussels.

The decontamination units allow auxiliary conservation officers, who

are trained to identify mussel-infested boats, to decontaminate boats and trail-ers entering B.C. The teams also respond to boats identified as concerns by the Canada Border Services Agency, and partner agencies in Alberta and the U.S. The mobile units move between border locations, focusing on high-traffic routes and have the ability to quickly respond to any reports of potential threats called in through the provincial Report All Poach-ers and Polluters line.

The addition of these specialized mus-sel detection teams further enhances the provincial early detection and rapid

response program for invasive mussels. This includes supporting education and outreach activities, such as the Clean, Drain, Dry program being delivered by the invasive species councils.

Aquatic invasive species, such as zebra and quagga mussels, pose a significant threat to Canada’s freshwater ecosystems and critical infrastructure such as hydro-electric and drinking water facilities. No zebra or quagga mussels have ever been found in B.C. waterways, and the Prov-ince is hard at work ensuring it stays that way.

All candidates must show up for debatesLETTERS

Editor:I is my hope that all candidates to be

our Member of Parliament in the Federal election on October 19 will step up to the plate and attend all the debates proposed for eight communities in this riding, in-cluding Revelstoke.

Wayne Stetski has challenged the other candidates to debate and answer ques-tions from the constituents. In the lead up to the last Federal election in 2011, David Wilks, the Conservative candidate and the now incumbent MP for our riding of Kootenay–Columbia did not show up for four of seven debates — Revelstoke being one of the no shows.

In my view, Mr. Wilks has a duty to at-tend these meetings/debates as they are an integral part of a healthy democratic process. Constituents should be able to question the person who has been our representative for the last almost four years, and ask about policy and their con-cerns.

Participation is also a sign of respect, or the lack of same, for our community.

Sincerely,Virginia Thompson,Revelstoke

PROVINCE NEEDS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON JUMBO RESORT

Editor,June 18 was a momentous date for

the people of the Kootenay and British Columbia. Cancellation of the Environ-mental Assessment Certificate (EAC) for Jumbo Glacier Resort must now mark the end of a decades-long struggle for the protection of one of this region’s most be-loved wild places, the Jumbo Valley.

The would-be developers failed to make a substantial start on their fabled resort despite a 10 year window of permission and the absurd creation and public fi-nancing of an entire municipal structure to enable them to proceed.

On June 18, the Province of B.C. said enough is enough and allowed the re-sort’s environmental approval to perma-nently expire. What has been left behind is a hot mess to be cleaned up one piece at a time.

There are five major questions that the Province must respond to in order to hold true to the determination that Jumbo Resort approvals are truly expired:

1. When will the Master Development Agreement be formally cancelled?

2. When will the Province dissolve the Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Munici-pality?

3. When will the Province terminate the remnant land use tenures for Glacier Resorts Ltd.?

4. When will the Province follow through on their requirement that the developer must remove and remediate the illegal physical works at the former resort site?

5. What type of process would the de-veloper have to go through if they were to attempt to proceed with a new, scaled-back resort proposal?

Minister Polack demonstrated great integrity in calling Glacier Resort’s bluff, but the Jumbo Valley will continue to be at risk until the Province firmly closes all remaining backdoors to resort develop-ment in the Jumbo and Farnham valleys.

RESPECT SILVER CUP RIDGE

Editor,I have been a part time resident in

Trout Lake for the past 10 years. My fam-ily has enjoyed many days hiking and mountain biking on Silver Cup Ridge. We have climbed all three peaks, observed grizzlies, caribou, deer and all the alpine creatures. Spectacular, to say the least.

This past weekend, July 11–15, I ful-

filled a dream of mountain biking the en-tire ridge on the old Silver Cup Trail. I had hiked and rode sections trying to figure out the exact location of the disappear-ing trail. I had a very good idea until this weekend.

Over the past few years there has been a steady increase of off road motor bikes riding the ridge. They are not using the Silver Cup Trail anymore and are creating torn up tracks everywhere. It was nearly impossible for me to locate the old trail as there is so much damage from off-trail use.

On Saturday there was a group of three motor bikes — an older man and a young boy and girl. I watched them hill climb and chew through the wet lands around a small pond. Very powerful bikes with aggressive tires, tearing up anything they rode on. This man must be aware of the damage and should be ashamed of teach-ing the youth this unacceptable practice.

I was so disappointed to see the amount of damage from this time last year to now. In five years the ridge will look like a gravel pit. In this day of public awareness, it is unbelievable to see people abusing our incredible alpine like this.

The quads seemed to keep to the old mine roads with minimal off road activi-ty. I have seen families with little kids. On one particular day a few years ago, there was obviously a grampa sitting beside his quad pointing out the many mountains and glaciers to his granddaughter. I won-der what he will say when she now asks, "Grampa, what are those scars on the hills?"

I challenge the government to do a fly over and observe the damage. Then I challenge them to put a stop to it before it's too late. Our government talks big about tourism. Will there be anything pristine left for them to sell in the Beau-tiful BC brochures?

The very first piece created by the artistic trio Lazuline was sold before it had even been paint-ed. Made up of three Shuswap area artists (Lisa Figueroa of Sicamous, Linda Franklin of Sunny-brae, and Tracey Kutschker of Salmon Arm), La-zuline paints various triptychs of landscapes in British Columbia. Composed of three panels, each piece gives three different perspectives on the same imagery.

“The idea behind it was how we feel British Co-lumbia is our home, and there are different areas that resonate with us,” said Figueroa. “It was rec-ognizing that we all paint variations of our home landscapes.”

Of course, with three artists working together there is a need for collaboration on some compo-nents of the triptych, such as how the edges will come together. As for how the pieces get started, it varies.

“Sometimes somebody will start on their own panel and [the other two artists] will react to it,” said Franklin.

Once the process has begun, each artist works on her own canvass, providing her interpretation of the landscape being painted.

“It's an awesome process,” said Kutschker. The three women tell me they haven't seen any-

one else doing what they are doing by collaborat-ing on their art, yet still allowing for their personal artistic styles to be represented within the work.

***Also on display at the arts centre is Celebrating

Gardens: A Members Show. The show features the work of 21 local artists, among them Karen Mil-lard.

“I used to exhibit a long time ago,” said Millard, who has a commercial arts background. “I'm just getting back into it. I've been playing with [art].”

Millard was lucky enough to travel to Santa Fe, New Mexico to take classes with watercolour art-ist Dawn Davis. She also more recently took a class taught by Revelstoke's Donna Naprstek.

“Donna has been great,” said Millard. “I just want to get together and paint with people.”

Skyblue Water: Lazuline and Celebrating Gardens: A Members Show are both on display at the Revel-stoke Visual Arts Centre until August 28.

Watching a rehearsal of How I Became A Pirate, I'm surprised to discover the cast have only been practising for two days. I happen to drop-in while they are rehearsing the opening scenes for the mu-sical.

“Seriously guys, since we started that is 500 per cent better,” Flying Arrow Productions artistic di-rector Anita Hallewas tells the cast, before sending them off on a much deserved break.

Hallewas tells me How I Became a Pirate will be the first musical to hit the stage at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre, and the first musical in Revelstoke since 2009's community performance of Chicago.

Part of Flying Arrow Productions two-week summer musical camp, How I Became A Pirate con-sists of an all-youth cast, ranging in age from six to 18. In total there are 20 youth involved in the musical, including the chorus, actors, musicians, and backstage helpers.

“Everyone that wants to be involved is involved in some capacity,” said Hallewas.

Hailey Christie-Hoyle, who plays Sharktooth (a character originally written as a man), takes time to give me an overview of the musical, which is based on the book How I Became A Pirate by Me-linda Long.

“Jeremy Jacob is on the beach for a beach day with his family. His parents have to leave with his little sister. These pirates show up and they are looking for a digger. They see Jeremy Jacob's

sandcastle and think he would be a good digger,” said Christie-Hoyle.

This of course leads to Jeremy Jacob going off with the pirates on an adventure, however it turns out he has a lot to teach them. He teaches them to play soccer, and about love, as Christie-Hoyle's character ends up being a mother figure to Jacob while he is aboard the pirate ship.

Talking to the cast, it's easy to get a sense of how much fun they're having – and what a close knit group they are.

“It's so much fun, you get to over-act,” said Ro-man Beruschi, who plays the first mate.

“This is fun. You're singing and dancing,” said Grayson Norsworthy, who plays Captain Braid-beard.

Hallewas said that by the end of the first day of rehearsals, the participants had formed into a close-knit group.

“It's just fun being with everyone,” said Christie-Hoyle. “We're all friends from different ages.”

How I Became a Pirate is the fourth show to be presented by Flying Arrow Productions, which is a non-profit with a board of directors.

“The reason I started it was because I saw a need in the community for this type of programming,” said Hallewas. “It's really exciting, but it has been a big learning curve for me.”

How I Became A Pirate will be performed July 16 at 6 p.m., and July 17 at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. All shows are at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre. Tickets can be purchased in advance at Big Mountain Kitchen and Linen.

REVELSTOKE GRIZZLIES

The Revelstoke Grizzlies are looking to fill thefollowing positions for the 2015-2016 season.

• Concession Manager• Bus Driver

Please call Ryan at 250-309-1671for more information.

This Saturday the Revy Riders are slated to host the second annual La-dies Only Dirt-Bike Rally and Cam-pout. Based out of the Glacier House Resort, the event begins Friday night, and boasts a full day of riding on the Revy Riders 70 kilometre trail network, morning yoga with Rev-elution Fitness, a breakfast buffet, swimming, giveaways, live music, and a BBQ bonfire.

For the people behind the scenes, the community gathering is about far more than just getting out on their motorcycles — it’s a celebra-tion of womanhood, family, the natural environment, and the count-less volunteers who have worked to maintain the trail network over the last 45 years.

“We should be really proud of what we have, and how hard the dirt bik-ing community has worked to get there to build a sustainable source of tourism in this town,” said board member and organizer Eve North-more.

The rally comes about through the work of dedicated volunteers who maintain the trails, pick up litter, co-ordinate logistics, and thrive on the challenges presented by this kind of event.

“If we weren’t being challenged, we’d get bored,” said local volunteer Tennille Barber.

Promoting sustainable riding practices and respect for the recre-ational areas they use is among the organizations top priorities. In fact, throughout the last month the Revy Riders have organized cleanups of the local flats.

The event's focal point consists of a race to hit as many trail markers as you can, and offers riders the chance to take home the title of “Triple B Rider of the Year.”

The ultimate goal is to encourage the emergence of female motocross events and to create an environment where families can expose their little ones to the burgeoning sport while promoting sustainable riding prac-tices.

“Women are usually the heart of the family, and women who re-

main active tend to want to bring their kids into the same sport," said Barber. "It really is a family event."

The organizers want to make clear that though it is billed as a female only event, men are more than welcome to participate and support their partners throughout the rally.

“It’s super fun and about camaraderie,” said Northmore. “We want to get out there and have a good time together. The girls in the organization are just amazing, and we hope to encourage other ladies to get out there and enjoy the amazing fa-

cilities we are extremely fortunate to have here.” The family event closes with a cookout and bon-

fire outside of Glacier House Resort, where live music and refreshments will be provided. It costs $80 to register, and tent, RV, hotel and cabin rent-als are available.

An annual Revy Riders membership can be pur-chased for $90.

The organization is always looking for volunteers, to get involved contact the Revy Riders organization through their website: www.RevyRiders.com

The Golden meet is always a favourite for the Ducks, and the enthusiasm of the swim-mers translated into some very fast racing. Winning his first ever aggregate was Divi-sion 1 Boy William Hobgood, who nabbed the silver, while Bence Berkenbosch took gold.

On the girls' side, Suri Stewardson also won her first aggregate as a Division 1 – also a Silver – and Autumn Griffith-Doyle kept up her streak with another gold.

Division 2 Girls was a sweep for Revel-stoke in a repeat of their home meet, with Kayln Gale winning gold, Sani Supinen the

silver, and Madeleine Hobgood the bronze. Kale Jay finally won gold for Division 2

Boys after swimming his first clean meet of the year without any disqualifications, and Murdoch Tegart won the bronze.

Division 3 Girls was another sweep for Revelstoke, and the second of three Gold aggregates for the Gale family as Devyn won all four of her events. In a close finish, Megan Hoshizaki won the silver, and Hunt-er Stewardson the bronze.

Alex Jay won the only aggregate medal for Revelstoke in Division 3 Boys, taking silver, while Nolan Gale and Stefan Spataro won gold and bronze respectively for Divi-sion 4 Boys.

Sara Supinen finished the meet strong to

squeak out a bronze aggregate for Division 4 Girls, while Beth Granstrom and Brynn Hoshizaki were in fine form all weekend, earning themselves gold and bronze for Di-vision 5 Girls.

Division 5 Boys was all Revelstoke all the way down to fourth overall, as Logan Lalonde swam his first meet as an Aqua-duck to win the gold, Colm Molder took sil-ver, and Erik Brosch the bronze to edge out Logan Marcolli in the last race of the meet.

However, fast swimming is not all that made the Aquaducks stand out this week-end. The sportsmanship demonstrated by the Revelstoke athletes was incredible, from Megan Hoshizaki sharing her silver with Hunter Stewardson in recognition of

a close race and excellent meet for the both of them, to Devyn Gale giving five-year-old Cecelia Hobgood her Gold medal.

A team that can celebrate eachother's vic-tories as enthusiastically as their own is a special team, and this group of kids is prov-ing to be very special.

Meets do not run themselves, and small meets like this one in Golden require no less volunteers for their diminished size. Revel-stoke parents stepped up in a big way, many working every session for the whole meet to keep the meet running over the weekend, leading the region by example.

Next, the Ducks head to Salmon Arm for what will be the second to last meet the Ducks attend in the Okanagan before regionals.

Revelstoke's Kevin Dorrius has been awarded Squash BC's top honour.

Dorrius, the president of the Revelstoke Rac-quet Den squash club, was named the Jack Lar-esen Award winner for his contributions to devel-oping squash in B.C.

Dorrius was honoured as a driving force behind development of the sport through the Southern Interior of the province.

"He is working with clubs in Kelowna, Pent-icton and Vernon to build junior programs and create regional competitions," said a news release from Squash BC. "Kevin has also advocated for squash in the interior as the Zone Representative on the Board of Squash BC and is a member of the Squash BC Junior Committee."

Dorrius organizes the Revelstoke Racquet Den's youth programs, coaching and bringing kids to tournaments across the province. The club is in the top three when it comes to the num-ber of members per court, and has one of the top five junior programs in the province based on participation.

Last year Dorrius received the Squash BC Ju-nior Service Award for his work developing junior programs.

Idelle Lavinia Durrand(July 24th, 1927 to July 3rd, 2015)

With our heartfelt sadness we announce the passing of Idelle at the Queen Victoria Hospital in Revelstoke, B.C. on July 3rd, 2015 at the age of 87 years. There was a Celebration of Life held at Moberly Manor on Saturday, July 11th, 2015. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Revelstoke Hospice Society c/o P.O. Box 3133, Revelstoke, B.C., V0E 2S0, in memory of Idelle.

Idelle was born in Revelstoke, B.C. on July 24th, 1927 and had been a lifelong resident. She had a love of the outdoors and her interests came in the form of camping, boating, hiking, and going to the lake. Ever since Idelle was young she had a love for dogs. When the time came and she could not own one anymore, she would spoil the "puppies" that were not hers.

Over the years, Idelle was constantly complemented on her "high style" fashion. She could never have enough jewelry, makeup, shoes, and beautiful clothing. This love for fashion lead her to a job at the local clothing store in Revelstoke, which then lead to part-time modeling. Idelle was always modest about her style and fashion, but prided herself on looking her best.

Over the years, Idelle touched many people's lives. She participated in T.O.P.S for many years and met many lifelong friends there. She always had a smile and a quiet charm about her that was infectious to the people around her. Over the years, she did have her battles with health, but always kept a positive attitude. Idelle will be missed by many people but will live on in the hearts left behind.Idelle is lovingly remembered and survived by her daughter Heather Durand; sons: Kenneth Durrand (Smoker) and Glen Durrand; her grandchildren: Nicole, Colin, Devin, Kelsey, and Trevor. Idelle was predeceased by her husband, William Durrand (Tyke), her parents Elizabeth and Henry George, and her brother Kenneth George.

Messages of condolence may be sent to the family by visiting Idelle’s obituary notice at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com.

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

Our hiking trip was on just the seventh day of operations of the new venture, which was given a soft launch at the start of July. After a buffet breakfast in the Revelation Lodge we were dropped off in the middle of the core operational terrain, to the east of Mt. Cartier and south of Ghost Peak. There are no specific hiking trails in place, but the terrain is such that it is easily traversed and Hon-ing explained that he expects routes to evolve as the guides become more familiar with the area and the expectations of their clients.

Honig led our group north at an easy pace, through the spectacular landscape of the Selkirk mountains, the Albert Peaks to the east, the Bat-tle range to the south and Mount Mackenzie and

Mount Revelstoke to the north. It was extremely hot, so sunscreen and plenty of water were the or-der of the day. A packed lunch was provided and we ate ours on a ridge line between Cartier and Ghost, enjoying fantastic views of the azure Ghost Lakes.

After lunch we headed up and north east, to a landing zone east of Ghost Peak. The hiking was generally very easy and accessible to anyone with a moderate fitness. Amazing vistas unfolded in ev-ery direction as we gained height.

After four hours or so of spectacular walking, Honing called in the helicopter and we were picked up and returned to the base of Revelstoke Moun-tain Resort.
