REVELSTOKE WELCOME WEEK: Ski bums that stayed – 7; Entertainment guide – 12

The MAX Molybdenum Mine, located on a mountainside just above Trout Lake, B.C., may see new life after a flurry of activity on the finance markets in the past two weeks.

In September, 2010, the molybde-num mine suffered a serious under-ground collapse, bringing a halt to mining and milling operations at the on-site refining mill. The company conducted remediation work and did resume milling and some mining, but a combination of weaker molyb-denum prices and geotechnical chal-lenges underground eventually shut-tered the mill.

On Nov. 4, 2013, Max Mine’s parent company Roca Mines Inc. announced it had received notice from the TSX Ventures Exchange that it was about to be de-listed from the Toronto-based stock exchange.

This set off a succession of wheel-ing and dealing in the next few days.

By Nov. 6., Vancouver-based Dis-covery Ventures Inc. announced it had entered into an agreement with Roca to acquire the MAX Mine. The deal will see Discovery Ventures pay $5.675 million in cash and stocks to Roca for the 59 mineral claims that make up the 5,489-hectare MAX project. The deal is not complete; the buyers are still seeking just under $1 million in funding to complete the transaction.

On Nov. 7, Discovery Ventures announced it had received condi-tional approval of the transaction from the TSX Venture Exchange.

Discovery Ventures is led by Akash Patel. The Vancouver-based president and CEO is an accountant who specializes in corporate taxa-tion. “We are very excited about the proposed acquisition of the MAX Mine and mill complex and the stra-tegic synergies that may result by combining Discovery’s existing Willa Project with the Max Mine processing facility.”

The 5,238-hectare Willa Project is

key to the deal. It is a gold, copper and silver deposit located eight kilo-metres south of Silverton, B.C. on Red Mountain.

The mineral deposit has been explored since the 1890s, when the area was known as the ‘Silvery Slo-can.’ Since the 1960s, a long list of mining companies have conducted exploration work at the Willa Proj-ect.

According to Discovery Ventures, a 2005 exploration showed that metal prices wouldn’t provide ade-quate returns to justify proceeding.

The plan now is to use the MAX Mine mill to process minerals from the Willa Project. The mines are 135 kilometres apart by road.

In an interview with the Times Review, Patel said the Willa site was not financially viable partly because it lacked a mill. “It’s like having a sawmill without trees,” he said.

The idea is to truck about 500 tonnes of ore per day – to start –

New life for Trout Lake’s MAX Mine?AAron [email protected]

The Times Review has toured the MAX Mine site. The mine adits are at the top right, near the brown staff buildings. The grey building at the centre left is the crushing complex, and the building at the bottom is the processing mill. The mine is located on a mountainside just above Trout Lake, B.C.

The board of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District voted to recommend approval of two appli-cations to the Agricultural Land Commission relating to the Revel-stoke Adventure Park and an adja-cent subdivision.

The Illecillewaet Development company submitted two differ-ent applications to the Agricultural Land Commission relating to their property in the Greeley area. The first is to allow non-farm use on a portion of private land that will be part of the adventure park.

The other is for a 21-property sub-division along the Illecillewaet River.

Last Thursday both applications were presented to the CSRD for referral and in both cases, the board voted to recommend approval to the ALC, which has the final say on both applications.

In doing so, they voted contrary to staff reports that recommended refusal for both applications.

For the first application, a report

prepared for the proponents by agrologist Bob Holtby says the land is “obviously arable” but the wetness of the field limits it to per-manent pasture or forage harvest-ing. Holtby’s report concludes, “It is my opinion that the proposal will have little, if any, impacts on the agricultural capability of the land.”

A CSRD staff report coun-ters some of the claims in Holt-by’s report. It says Holtby’s report doesn’t properly consider the vol-ume of use that would be required to make the adventure park via-ble. It questions the assessment that the adventure park wouldn’t impact future agricultural use of the land and says that the volume of use needed for it to be successful is “not especially compatible with agricultural use.”

Hotby’s report on the sub-divi-sion says the land is arable and the best use would be for forage crops. Dividing the land into 21 one-hect-are lots would allow for hobby farm development similar to homes nearby.

“COMPARED TO MY TRUCK, THIS IS A

MAJOR UPGRADE.”

ENDS DEC 2ND

Mining company hopes to mill at Trout LakeMAX Mine, from p. 1

from Silverton to Trout Lake via Nakusp, then mill on site. Patel said that would mean a few trucks doing a few round-trips per day.

The mill at the MAX Mine would require modifications to process sil-ver, gold and copper, Patel said. He didn’t have technical details, saying

company engineers are working on it. Patel said they are exploring back-

filling the MAX Mine with tailings from Willa to help stabilize it. He said MAX is not viable as a molybdenum mine under current prices, but if they went up, they could also explore re-opening the mine.

Further permitting for mining at Willa and processing at MAX Mine

will be required. Patel said social licence for the

operation is key. “The only way to make this work is to have the com-munities with us.” he said. “We truly want to make this work; we don’t want to make any uproar. We under-stand the roads were just paved, the highways are in gorgeous conditions … and we want to keep it that way.”

Testing at the Willa site is ongo-ing.

“If we can add some employ-ment and bring some buzz back to the [area], we’d love to be able to do that. We are not there to make a big impact and shake [things] up,” Patel said.

He said he couldn’t provide a timeline on development due to many different variables.

Patel also said if market prices rebound, the company could resume

mining molybdenum; backfilling the mine with tailings from Willa would be designed to deal with ongoing instability issues at the mine.

Molybdenum is a metal added to alloys to bring them heat- and corro-sion-resistant properties.

Patel said significant new pipe-line projects, for example, could push molybdenum prices up past the mine’s economic viability threshold.

The typically porous ground underneath Revelstoke is enabling an Olympic-sized swimming pool of treated water to leak from the city’s water network undetected each day.

At their Nov. 12 meeting, images like that crystallized Revelstoke City Council’s support for water meter-ing consultant Veritec’s recommen-dation to implement district water metering, as outlined in their com-prehensive report on the water sys-tem.

Engineer Graham Waley pre-

sented the findings to council. The report, which was discussed at length in an article in the Nov. 6 Times Review, found that district metering was the best water meter-ing option for Revelstoke.

Basically, district metering means employing several metering and leak-detection techniques and tech-nologies to detect and fix leaks on main water lines. The Veritec report found this system would be far more effective and much cheaper than alternatives like commercial meter-ing, or placing meters on all homes in Revelstoke.

“The only return on investment

comes out in the district metering,” Waley told council.

He said based on their studies and results achieved in similar commu-nities like Cranbrook, he felt district metering could achieve, “a 30 per cent reduction in water loss.”

Pointing to an international index that grades water system leakage, Waley noted Revelstoke’s rate of earns us a ‘D’ grade, saying there was room for improvement.

How did it get this bad? Waley explained in locations with clay soil, leaks are more easily detected because water is forced to the sur-face. But in Revelstoke many leaks,

cracks and holes go unnoticed because the water simply drains away and doesn’t cause visible dis-turbances.

Our leaky water pipes aside, Waley also said universal metering would likely not be suitable for Rev-elstoke because the economics only pan out in locations where water is scarce and expensive to treat.

At their Nov. 12 meeting, Revel-stoke City Council opted to incor-porate bulk water meter replace-ment and district metering into the 2014 budget, and that federal gas tax funding be considered as a funding source.

The most rapidly increasing type of cancer in the developed world is esophageal cancer where tumors affect the tube that takes food to the stomach. This type of cancer is linked to smoking, acid reflux and obesity. Since smoking rates are dropping every year, the increasing rate of obesity is one of the main risk factors.

The laws governing the restriction of certain drugs to prescription-only

are designed to protect the public. It wasn’t always so. Back in the early years of the 20th century, people could buy products like Coca Wine and Heroin which contained the drugs cocaine and heroine, which made addicts out of many people. Even morphine products were freely available. Drug laws protect us well today.

As pharmacists, we are always confident of the

quality of the medications in the pharmacy. They are accurately labeled with the name and amount of every active ingredient. Street drugs are another matter. Contents are not guaranteed and may even contain other drug products. One dose of a bad drug can change a life forever. The best and safest rule is don’t take it.

We all miss doses of our medications now and then. If you miss one dose, take the dose

the next time it’s due. Don’t double up. With birth control pills, it’s a bit more involved. It depends on the type of pill you are taking and which tablet in the cycle was missed. It may be necessary to use another method of birth control.

Our pharmacists are available with the answers about missed doses of medications. Don’t hesitate to check with them whenever you are in doubt.

Five options presented at Mountain View open house

Five options for the old Moun-tain View Elementary site were pre-sented at an open house on Satur-day, and they all contain nearly identical ideas – a mix of residen-tial lots and park space, and preser-vation of the original school build-ing.

"There's a lot of options," said retired superintendent Anne Coo-per, who is helping with the work on the Mountain View site. "What we're trying to do today is get some information out and let people comment."

A steady stream of people showed up at the community cen-tre on Nov. 16 to see the plans and provide their own input into what should be done.

Four of the ideas came from con-sultants Graham Farstad and Don-ald Luxton. They all preserve the original school, with parking in the rear of the building. They all call for a mix of residential lots and park space on the rest of the site. Where they differ is in the size of the lots and where the park should be.

"We're looking at the heritage building, the park, and the residen-tial is the last component to gener-ate value," said Farstad.

The first option contains 22

10-metre wide lots, and the second option has 19 12-metre wide lots. On each of those, the park would be place in the middle of the site, and the east end would contain six larger lots that could be sold together for future commercial or town home development.

For the third and fourth options, the park would be at the east end of the site and the western por-tion would be divided into either 10-metre lots or 15.5-metre lots.

"The only thing that I know we all have to remember is we can't donate the whole piece of land to somebody to develop something without getting any revenue," said Cooper. "We have an obligation to get some revenue, so that's our lim-iting factor."

The fifth idea was from local planner Glen O'Reilly, who pitched a similar site layout to those of the consultants, but had fewer residen-tial lots on his proposal, and four

commercial lots at the east end of the site.

In his proposal, the parkland would be at the middle of the site and would provide a connection from St. Peter's Church to the river-front, where, ideally, a small land-ing would be built.

James Walford, a member of the city's heritage committee, said he wasn't overly concerned with what happened to the site, as long as the heritage school building is pre-served.

"I think most of us are in agree-ment," he said. "Lots of people would like to see it retained for school use or commercial use, but I just want it retained."

Kelly Rienks agreed that the her-itage building should be kept. "My worry is they don't find a buyer so it deteriorates more," he said. "That will be the challenge."

His wife Mieken said she hopes the heritage building would be turned into a community centre for youth groups. "There's so many that are in basements or churches," she said. "A lot of communities have youth centres for all the youth groups."

The school district has started the process of designating the orig-inal school building as a heritage site.

A statement of significance pre-pared by Luxton notes the school

"is valued as the last remaining example of a large, masonry school constructed during the early years of Revelstoke's development, and as an excellent example of institu-tional neoclassical architecture. It is connected with the early growth and development of the Revelstoke community."

He concludes "it is an important landmark in the community."

Luxton also prepared a statement of significance for the former stu-dent support services and aborigi-nal education building, which was originally built in 1938 as the man-ual training and home economics building. Retired superintendent Cooper has commonly referred to the building at the pink nipple, and Luxton's report reflected that senti-ment, saying, that due to the mod-est, utilitarian nature of the build-ing, and the high costs of rehabili-tation, it shouldn't be retained as a heritage site.

Cooper said she and the consul-tants will be going over the pub-lic feedback over the winter and will also start the process to solicit interest in purchasing the heritage building.

They will then come up with a plan to present to the Revelstoke Board of Education for re-zoning the site.

Thieves make off with three snowmobiles

Winter is here and snowmobile thieves have returned to Revelstoke.

The Revelstoke RCMP reported two thefts of vehicles and snowmobiles on Nov. 12.

First, at about 2:45 a.m., a Ford F-350 pickup truck and Ski-Doo Summit snowmobile were stolen from the 700 block of Eighth Street East.

Three hours later, RCMP received a report that a Dodge truck, snowmobile trailer and two Polaris RMK snowmobiles were stolen from Oscar Street in Southside.

At about 8:30 a.m., the Dodge truck and the trailer were found, but the snowmobiles were not located. The Ford F-350 was found not long after, without the snowmobile.

Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky said he would not reveal where the trucks were found, saying he hoped that information could be used in the investigation.

“They were recovered in very close proximity to where they were stolen,” he added.

He said there was no evidence the thefts were by the same people, but based on the fact the thefts were done in close time and proximity to each other that “it would only make sense this was planned and by the same people.”

“We’ll be working very diligently to figure out if this was organized crime, what exactly was going on and, as mentioned in the news release, really try-ing to encourage people to come up with prevention methods,” he said.

The RCMP is reminding residents to secure their snowmobiles with a variety of theft deterrents, such as video cameras, chains and locks. “Anything to keep it safe and combat the theft,” he said.

Grabinsky said one trailer was well-protected with chains and a locking hitch, but the thieves were still able to make off with the truck, trailer and sleds.

“We’re talking people with fairly aggressive means,” he said. “I’m not going to hide it from peo-ple – they need to combat it with fairly aggressive means as well.”

Grabinsky noted that Revelstoke is one of the top spots for snowmobile theft in Canada and he said RCMP would be using the bait sled program at some point this winter to try and tackle the problem.

“We rate success on how we do the next year, and until we start really solving this problem, we’re not finding success yet, and we’re trying to do that,” he said.

The RCMP is asking anyone with information about the thefts to contact the detachment at 250-837-5255 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.


“I believe that this proposal, coupled with the non-farm use application that has been presented, would provide a non-conflicting development in a currently isolated area,” Holtby concludes.

Still, in it’s report on the sub-division, CSRD staff opposed the application on the grounds that the pro-posed 21 one-hectare lots are not supported by the Area B Official Community Plan, and so the ALC should not approve it.

However, at the meeting of the CSRD Board of Directors on Nov. 14, Area B director Loni Parker spoke in favour of both applications. She told the board she spent a lot of time in her youth there, and with the lack of sun, late springs and early falls, it was a place the ALC should review.

She said she supported the sub-division application and that small hobby farms were needed in the area. She said the developments would not impact the City of Revelstoke’s watershed. She said both applications represented good economic opportunities for the area and she urged the board to support the applications.

In a follow-up interview, Parker said the guidelines laid out in the OCP were there to make sure the Gree-ley area didn’t turn into a second base village for Rev-elstoke Mountain Resort, not that there shouldn’t be any development there.

“I’m not concerned we’re going to have rampant development out there that’s not done by design,” she said. “There’s still a process that would happen.”

The adventure park proponent is still applying for a tenure over crown land. If it moves forward, it would still need to apply for an OCP amendment and re-zon-ing.

The board voted to reject the staff recommenda-tions and instead voted on a different motion support-ing both applications.

Revelstoke mayor David Raven, the chair of the CSRD, stepped out of the meeting while the appli-cations were discussed. “I’ve taken a lot of personal attacks and any participation of mine in that decision would be taken the wrong way,” he said. “It would bring question to the decision regardless of whichever way I voted on it.”

CSRD asks forest ministry for say in logging in ‘sensitive areas’

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District asked the B.C. government to put a mechanism in place to ensure local government is consulted on logging in sensitive areas.

The request came after the

CSRD Board of Directors dis-cussed the report by the For-est Practices Board on the Begbie Bench logging.

The report, which was written about in the Nov. 13 issue of the Times Review, said Stella-Jones did not adequately consult with local stakeholders prior to logging 60 hectares of forest in the area.

The FPB report recommends that the Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) work with licensees and plan signatories to either amend local land use plans to reflect cur-rent management and legislative obligations, or rescind them.

“This would provide clear direc-tion to licensees, stakeholders and

the public on government’s objec-tives and expectations for activities on B.C.’s Crown land,” the report states.

At the Nov. 14 CSRD board meeting, Area B director Loni Parker re-iterated her stance that Stella-Jones should have consulted with the signees of the 1993 Begbie Falls Integrated Resource Plan. She

said Stella-Jones should have gone over and above to have discussion with local government regarding its plans.

Her fellow directors voted unan-imously to send a letter to the MFL-NRO asking the ministry to ensure local government is consulted when it comes to logging in sensitive areas.


The City of Revelstoke will have to deal with budget uncertainty for the foreseeable future caused by “aggressive” re-assessment appeal practices, caused mainly by Revel-stoke Mountain Resort owner North-land Properties appealing assess-ments on its condo units at the Sut-ton Place Hotel.

In a report discussed at Revelstoke City Council’s Nov. 12 meeting, city finance director Graham Inglis explained why property tax revenue projections have gone from stable and predictable prior to 2008, to the current wild swings that are making nailing the city budget very difficult.

The BC Assessment Authority (BCAA) assesses property values in B.C. They issue their tax assess-ments in the first week of January. A few months later, municipalities like Revelstoke finalize their budget, and then set a tax rate that will raise the amount of money budgeted.

Inglis explained that prior to 2008, assessment appeals were rare and insignificant to the budget process.

“In recent years however, there

has been a shift towards aggressively appealing assessment values by the larger corporate property owners,” Inglis explained. “This has resulted in some significant assessment value reductions and reclassifications from higher taxed classes to lower taxed ones.”

Inglis explained to the Times Review that Northland Properties is appealing the assessment category in which condos are categorized.

For example, if an individual condo is rarely rented out as a hotel room in one year, the owner can appeal a commercial assessment to BCAA, arguing it should be assessed as residential for the past year. If suc-cessful, the City of Revelstoke would gather far less taxes on the property because the residential tax rate is far lower than the commercial one.

The assessments go both ways; a property that is classed residential

one year can be commercial the next if it’s rented out enough to trigger a taxation threshold, which is deter-mined by BCAA.

The appeals are typically sorted out after the city is done with the bud-get, meaning the city often receives far less tax income than it budgeted for.

For example, so far in 2013, the total negative impact on tax income for the city is $209,395. In addi-

tion, some appeals from 2011 and 2012 are still in the appeal process. They could add up to $41,689 in losses for the city. Together, it’s about $250,000.

It looks like the city will have to live with this “ambiguity” in “per-petuity,” Inglis explained to council. Inglis prepared his report to inform council about what’s going on.

Mayor David Raven said getting docked about a quarter of a million dollars late in the year was “a bit of a kick in the head.”

Raven told council: “It eats up whole parts of the restraint that coun-cil has practiced over the past year. In fact it will eat up the tax increase we put forward to build our reserves. Council has taken the course of pur-suing some fairly restrained budget practices to build our reserves in a fiscal way. At the end of the day, the rug is pulled from underneath us.”

In response to questions from the Times Review, Inglis said the City of Revelstoke had been forecast-ing a general operating surplus of about $500,000 for this year, but that will be halved by the supplementary assessments.

Editor,Re: Glacier Park Lodge future awaits

end of legal battle, News, Nov. 20. Parks Canada and the B.C. Government

should be totally ashamed of the condi-tion of Glacier Park Lodge in Rogers Pass! Whoever is in charge should make set-tlements, bulldoze this mess and create a road-side picnic spot, washroom facility and parks interpretation centre for the trav-elling public.

Can you imagine the opinion of any of the thousands of tourist who travel through this passage to the Rockies - and how many friends they discuss this with when they get home? Can you imagine anything in such a condition in Glacier or Yellowstone Park in the USA ? Or even in an Alberta park? Not likely !

Someone please � x this mess soon and while you are at it � x the road.

Hunter hunts camera thieves

Editor, I had a motion-activated bush camera

that takes a picture every 15 seconds when-ever there is movement within its range. This is my hobby, taking pictures of wild-life. It gets me out with nature and I can shoot wildlife without a gun.

Last week I went to pick up my cam-

era and download the pictures. When I got there, it was gone. The thief went to con-siderable effort to steal it, breaking through a padlock and pipe stripping.

Mr. Thief, I know who you are. I have pictures of you casing my camera. If you are a hunter, you have no ethics. If you are not a hunter, you are just a common van-dal.

I even left a note saying I would send you pictures from the camera, including my phone number.

Please send the memory card to me as it is no use to you.

Revelstoke is on to the elite eight in Powder Magazine's Ski Town Throw-down.

Revelstoke fans outvoted Banff sup-porters to push the town into the next round of the online popularity contest.

In round one Revelstoke beat out Cypress Mountain and in round two it defeated Nelson/Whitewater in a nail biter.

Revelstoke will now face either Ross-land's Red Mountain, or Juneau, AK's, Eaglecrest in the quarter� nals of the com-petition from Nov. 20–21.

The winner of the competition gets to declare itself North America's top ski town.

Voting takes place on the Powder Mag-azine Facebook page.

We all know the tired stereotypes. They don’t shower before getting in the hot tub. They don’t shower at all. The smell. They drink and party too much. They make too much noise while walking home. They steal from Cooper’s. They steal from the food bank (this is not true). They don’t tip.

The list goes on.But what about the ones that

stayed? The ski bums that came for a bit of fun and decided Revelstoke is pretty great, so they found jobs – any jobs – and stuck around. They started volunteering and started businesses and bought homes.

They plan on staying. Here’s a few of their stories.

The business ownerMarc Joiner came to Revelstoke

before Revelstoke Mountain Resort opened. He grew up in Melbourne, moved away when he was 24 and eventually wound up in Invermere, B.C., in 2006. While he was there, someone told him about this new resort they were developing in Revel-stoke.

He looked it up on the map and made the move in early 2007. He skied at the Powder Springs and though that if that little hill was so good, just imagine how much better it is up high.

"I came out to Revelstoke and skied Powder Springs," said Joiner. "I loved the town. It was perfect. I wan-dered around town. Everyone was so friendly and wanted to get know you."

He went to the visitor information centre and told them he was an electri-cian who was thinking about moving here. He got help finding a place to rent, finding a job and with how to get his residency. "They took me upstairs to the office and said, 'How can we make you part of this town,'" he said.

He worked first for Burridge's Electrical, then spent a few months wiring the gondola and Stoke Chair at Revelstoke Mountain Resort before returning to Burridge's.

A few weeks later Joiner ended up taking it over from his boss Martin Greenwood. He is now the owner of one of Revelstoke's oldest businesses – it's been around since 1909.

"This business has basically given me my dream of being able to live in a town like this, surrounded by the peo-ple that are here, and surrounded by these beautiful mountains, and having everything I dreamed of in my early-20s at my doorstep," he said.

Joined credited the Greenwoods, and his original landlords, Dave and Nicole Grimsdell, with helping him get established in Revelstoke. Now he is happily married and owns a home in Columbia Park.

"I always expected I'd come here and work," he said. "I was here to work, but the bonus is at the end of the day when you knock off you're in the world's best playground."

His advice to newcomers is to make an effort to get to know the com-munity beyond the ski resort. "I basi-cally just had the advantage of getting in before the swarms," he said. "That's not an option now, but I'd say as long as you can commit to this town, you'll be absolutely blown away about what

comes back to you."

The lawyer and realTor

When Brendan Ginter and Jody Lownds moved to Revelstoke in 2008, the plan was to have a bit of an adven-ture for six to 18 months, and then move back to Ottawa and get on with their lives.

"Jody will tell you it was her way to get me to move in with her," joked Ginter.

Lownds, who worked as an envi-ronmental lawyer, was going to work remotely and Ginter planned on quit-ting his job as a sunglasses salesman for Ryder.

"We thought we would end up back in Ottawa, she would work at a big law firm somewhere, and I would find a new job," Ginter told me.

Five years later, and that hasn't

been the case. Ginter was able to keep his job with Ryder, working around the B.C. Interior.

Then, one day, they decided to buy a house. "The overwhelming thought wasn't buy a house so we can stay, it was let's buy a house so we can get a dog," said Ginter. "We got the most expensive dog house in the world."

When they were closing the deal on the house, lawyer Connie Broth-ers told them how there was a big need for lawyers in Revelstoke and that Lownds should set up a practice here. Six months later, Lownds was a licensed lawyer in B.C. and set up her practice, B Jody Lownds Law.

For Ginter, it was then a matter of finding a new job that would involve spending less time on the road. He decided to follow his father's foot steps and become a Realtor.

Ski bums that stayed For some ski bums, it’s one winter and out. For others, a winter has turned into years and into life

The Revelstoke Community Foundation is hosting a new event called the Roaring ‘20s Night. Foun-dation director Steven Hui explained they wanted to create a fun, signature event, and settled on the Roaring ‘20s for its fun, carefree feel. “It’s just gathering together, putting out some information and sharing some of the success. More on the fun side, not fund [side],” Hui said. The dinner and dance at the Glacier House Resort will feature chicken valentine, beef tenderloin, Waldorf salad, lemon cake, champagne and music by local jazz four-piece Relative Jazz. The Revelstoke Community Founda-tion provides grants and financial support to local community initiatives and student scholarships, amongst other endeavours. They gave over $20,000 in grants and bursaries this year. They focus their fundraising efforts on memorial funds and large donations from community members, and try to avoid competing with other community groups in fundraising. Hui said the board of directors is always interested in new talent, particularly with skills in finance, grant-making, marketing and invest-ment management. “We know the town is changing and we are trying to attract people that reflect the new priorities in the community,” he said. In the next year, they are exploring launching a smart and caring communities fund. Join the RCF this Saturday, Nov. 23 at Glacier House Resort at 6 p.m. Tickets are $75. Pictured above, foundation members Peter and Zofie Humphreys are ready for the event, and are pictured with George Hopkins Sr.’s 1928 Model A Ford Coupe, which will be available for photo ops this Saturday at the event.

The Times Review has been toying with a social events photo page, and should be launching it soon. We’re getting pretty close to the format, but are just short of a name. This week, we stopped off a The Cabin’s whiskey tasting on Saturday (above) and attended Art First!’s Friday night Christmas party (below). Here’s what we learned. 1. Annie Hewitt (right) of StokeFM hams it up for the camera. She’s launching the 20 Days of Stoke contest starting in December. Sign up and compete in daily challenges for a ton of ski/board prizes. An-nie made Karilyn Kempton and Simon Wex of the Stoke List (left) ham it up for the camera. They are joined by Angus McLean-Wilson (centre right). 2. Agnes Kowalczuk of the Cabin (centre right) hosts Mica Heliskiing lodge manager Cathy Shewchuk (right) and Mica Heliskiing lodge operations manager Barbara Rose. Mica’s heli operations commence in December. Their award-winning new lodge, which opened last season, now has an additional 40 per cent new ski terrain after a tenure acquisition. The hot tubs have been moved to a new view location and Mica is offering heli-transfers from the Calgary airport this season. The ladies are joined by Mark Davis (left), who’s back in Revelstoke after working in Lake Louise this summer. Davis was seriously injured in a dirt-biking crash last October, but we’re happy to report he’s back on his mountain bike and ready to charge this ski season. 3. The Cabin server Jenna Forter (left) presents a range of liqueurs as part of the local bowling alley and snowboard shop’s whiskey tasting night on Nov. 16. She’s joined by guests and New Zea-landers Jess Gee and Jemma Hughes, who are looking forward to a season on the Revelstoke slopes. 4. Revelstoke artist Barbara Maye with partner Geordie Knoess at Art First!’s Christmas party. Maye’s carving entitled Patience (pictured) was created from Zimbabwean soapstone using only hand tools. Maye doesn’t start with a pre-conceived composition, instead she lets the individual stone guide her towards a final creation. “The stone has its own energy if you come at it with peace and respect,” Maye said. Maye then creates paintings based on her sculptures, explaining she enjoys reliving the experience of carving. 5. Slocan Valley metal artist James Karthein has been working on a new metal sign for the extensive renovations underway at the Eagle Pass Heliskiing headquarters on Mackenzie Avenue. You’re probably familiar with some of Karthein’s work; he built the sturgeon and kokanee sculpture on Mackenzie Avenue (along with artist Kevin Kratz). The giant, metal heron statue in the front window of Art First! is another fantastic work by Karthein. It was actually built as a maquette for a nine-foot version erected in Castlegar. It’s for sale at around $10,000. Karthein has other downmarket works at Art First! including a fire poker set made to mimic the tools of winter – a ski pole and shovel. It’s pictured on the front page. Photos and words by Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

A rts &Entertainment

You’re new in town. You don’t have a job yet, or you don’t plan on getting one. Or you do have a job, but you can handle a night out and still be productive. Or not.

Either way, there’s a whole host of options lined for Wel-come Week – ski movies, Acad-emy Award-winning movies, rock bands, folk bands, and indie bands.

Here’s our guide to of� cial Welcome Week events:

SATURDAY, NOV. 23Start the night off at the Roxy

Theatre, where two screenings of Warren Miller Entertainment’s new ski movie Ticket to Ride are scheduled. The movie was � lmed in exotic destinations like Kazakhstan, Iceland and Green-land, as well as classic ski movie destinations of Switzerland and, of course, Alaska. The athlete roster includes Olympians Ted Ligety, Gretchen Bleiler and Julia Mancuso; freeskiers Sean Pet-tit and Sierra Quitiquit; and ski mountaineer Chris Davenport. There’s an early screening at 5 p.m. for kids, and a late screening

at 8:30 p.m. for adults. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for kids 12 and under.

Afterwards, head over to the Big Eddy Pub for The Boom Booms. This Vancouver six-piece formed while treeplanting, and they’ve kept going even after the move to the big city. The rock-pop band has charted on Much More Music, � nished second in the 2011 Peak Performance Proj-ect, and have toured as far away as Brazil. They’ve become known for their catchy songs and feel-good party anthems. The show starts at 10 p.m. Tickets are $15.

The Revelstoke Atom Grizzlies celebrate with the Cooper’s Cup after winning their home tournament last weekend. Photo Contributed

Over the weekend Revelstoke hosted a very suc-cessful Atom hockey tournament with teams from Kamloops, Kelowna, Salmon Arm, Windermere Valley and Nakusp. The teams all played at least four games with some exciting end to end hockey in many of the games.

Revelstoke ended up on the top of their pool after two days and had a close game against the Kelowna Jetz to make it into the � nals.

The � nal ended up being a rematch against the Windermere A team. Revelstoke came back from a 3-1 de� cit against Windermere in the round robin, so they knew the � nal would be tough. The � nal game was very close with both teams giving it their all. The score at the end of the second period was 2-2.

In the middle of the third Revelstoke pulled ahead by one and then Windermere scored a min-ute later. Revelstoke scored with six minutes left to make the score 4-3.

The last 6 minutes were all out hockey action with Windermere pulling their goalie with 1:20 left. It was a nail biter until the end with Revelstoke com-ing out on top.

A big thank you to all the sponsors, the referees, friends, families, and to Dennis Berarducci for his enthusiastic announcing all weekend long, and for the Grizzlies Junior B team for their enthusiastic support.

The Revelstoke Secondary School Swim team finished off their re-build-ing year with lots of potential for growth at the BC High School Swim-ming Championships in Richmond last weekend. At an event where all age categories compete as one, the mostly grade eight and nine RSS ath-letes showed they weren’t intimidated by older competitors.

Leading the team was Beth Grans-trom who finished in ninth spot in both the 50m backstroke and the 100m individual medley. Granstrom also lead the 4X100m freestyle relay along with sister Kate, Anna Pfeiffer, and Claudia Cinelli to a ninth place finish.

Another grade eight athlete, Alyssa Spataro, battled mostly grade elevens and twelves, beating over half the field to finish 13th in the province in the 50m breaststroke.

The meet ended strongly for the RSS team with the 200m freestyle girls relay team improving by five sec-onds from their prelims to finish 13th in the province.

Grizzlies trample Rockies, get reigned in by Wranglers

The Revelstoke Grizzlies have crawled out the KIJHL basement after splitting their weekend games.

Revelstoke thumped the Colum-bia Valley Rockies 6-1 on Friday before falling 3-2 to the 100 Mile House Wranglers on Saturday.

On Friday, Kyler Wilkinson led the Grizzlies to a 3-0 nothing lead after the first period, chasing Rock-ies' goaltender, former Grizzly Conrad McMillan from the net.

Kyler Wilkinson opened the

scoring after bouncing in a puck off McMillan nine minutes into the game. Four minutes later Wilkinson set up Kohl Bell in front. Finally, in the final minute, Wilkinson scored on a nice individual effort, deking out the defence and going five-hole for his second goal.

Tre Mason added to the Griz-zlies lead in the second period with a high wrist shot from near the goal line. Kent Hendrickson made it 5-0 five minutes later.

The Rockies got on the board in the third period when Mitchell Rosko put one past Aaron Brandoli,

but Brodie Buhler would capitalize on a miscue by Rockies goaltender to cement the 6-1 win.

"For the first time all year we finally had some puck luck," said coach Darren Naylor, who also credited Brandoli for his strong play early on. "Brandoli held us in the first five minutes, they came out pretty hard on us. Brandy was really good and allowed us to get going."

On Saturday, the Grizzlies hosted the Wranglers. A poor first period saw Revelstoke fall behind early when Darcy Flaherty and Connor Sloan scored for 100 Mile House. Revelstoke's new goalie Matthew Mitchell was peppered with 20 shots in the period.

The second period was score-less, but Michael Lynch scored in the first minute of the third period to make it 3-0 Wranglers. Devon Hascarl and Hendrickson score late goals for Revelstoke to make it close, but they were unable to com-plete the comeback, falling 3-2.

Naylor said if the team started the game with the same urgency it showed in the third period, the result could have been different.

"For some reason we're hav-ing a hard time on second games on weekend where we're coming out flat, not ready to go," he said.

"I think what they do after the first game, I think they go home and stay up too late...

"It's not conditioning. We prob-ably practice as hard as any team. We go two hours hard every day. It's not a conditioning thing, it's a get to bed type thing."

The Grizzlies made a number of moves over the week. Aiden Sil-zer-Hooker was dealt to the Kam-loops Storm for defenceman Stein-dor Igason. Naylor also acquired 19-year-old defenseman Ethan Lar-son from Princeton.

He said both players should help strengthen the defence going for-ward.

He also added two local players. Chevy Hantula is returning to the squad and Jay Adam, a former Rev-elstoke Minor Hockey product, is attempting a return to competitive hockey after taking a few years off for personal reasons.

"Hopefully hockey can help him out a bit," Naylor said. "I'm cheer-ing for him."

This weekend the Grizzlies play one game, hosting the Creston Val-ley Thunder Cats on Friday. "We only have one game this weekend so there's no reason not to go out and give it our all," said Naylor.


Tre Mason continued his strong play this year with a goal and assist on Friday against Columbia Valley. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

“In Revelstoke you have to find a job, you have to make a living,” he said. “You can’t be picky about what you do, you have to find something you can do and go with it. That’s why I chose real estate.”

They found themselves both with steady jobs, a house and two dogs, and a new life in Revelstoke. Ginter started volunteering at the food bank and with search and rescue, and he is now on the board of directors of Community Connections. Lownds is a board member with the North Columbia Environmental Society.

“It was not a plan. I think if we’d come out here with this plan, I probably wouldn’t have done it. I would have been scared,” Ginter said. “My parents would have strongly objected to us moving out west. We weren’t moving out west, we were going for adventure.”

For Ginter, the key to staying in Revelstoke is find-ing a good job, and not being picky about what it is. He said you shouldn’t expect to work your dream job if you want to stay here, but be flexible as to what you do. “There are people with MBAs driving trains,” he said. “There’s lots of people doing jobs they never saw them-selves doing.

“If you want to stay here you have to figure some-thing out.”

Ms. VersatilityMiranda Murphy has worked her fair share of jobs

since moving to Revelstoke in 2007. She was a lifty, gladed runs at the resort, did landscaping, worked for Selkirk Tangiers, was an operations assistant for the Ministry of Forests, and has done a bunch of other small jobs. This winter she will be working for CMH.

“I’ve had to do courses and network and spend a lot of time to get where I am in the community,” she told me. “I’m currently doing distance education upgrading for accounting so I’m expecting to start a student posi-tion full-time in the next year.”

Murphy first came to Revelstoke the year before the resort opened. A native of White Fish Falls, Ont., she was attending Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ont., when her and some friends came out west on a ski trip.

A year later she decided to move out west and finish her schooling online while being a ski bum.

“It was supposed to be a season, possibly two,” she said. “Somewhere else to finish university other than at a school while doing something fun.

“My claim to fame is I was running the gondola on opening day.”

After her first winter, she went back home to do horseback guiding. She got injured on her third day on the job, got bored sitting around, and decided to come back to Revelstoke and experience the summer. “Then I didn’t leave anymore,” she said.

“I think the thing that brought me here and made me decide to stay over other towns with ski hills is Revel-stoke was a town first,” she said. “It was a foggy, snowy week in March in winter 2007. The town was so magi-cal and all the little shops and the community was amaz-ing. And there was sushi.”

Finding ways to make a living here proved difficult. As mentioned, she worked many different jobs to make ends meet, all the while completing her education. She now owns a house in town too.

“People always talk about how hard it is but some-times you have to do it and make it work, and its fantas-tic being locked in and getting to stay,” she said.
