REVIEW

More than half of Revelstoke businesses are having trouble finding workers, accord-ing to the recently released Labour Market Survey.

That finding is one of many in the com-prehensive survey of the local labour market conducted last winter by Garry Pendergast and Janet Lemieux for the City of Revelstoke.

"It was no surprise it's becoming hard-er and harder to find workers and retain them," said Alan Mason, the city's director of economic development. "I think that's be-cause there's lots of opportunities in nearby provinces that pay higher wages."

The survey was launched last fall in an at-tempt to get an accurate profile of the city's labour market, determine future labour market needs, find out how businesses at-tract and keep employees, and determine future training needs of the workforce.

In order to find answers, Lemieux and Pendergast interviewed 143 business own-ers and managers representing 150 busi-nesses. They tracked 3,643.5 different posi-tions out of an estimated workforce of 4,850 people. All major local employers were inter-viewed, including Downie Timber, CP Rail,

By noon, the duo were more than halfway towards their goal of 200 holes in a day. “We’ll break the record, for sure,” said Pearcey. Jackson and Pearcey started golfing early in the morning and they were set to go until nightfall as part of the Golfathon for ALS — a fundraiser put on the PGA of B.C. to raise money for ALS research.

REVIEWOver the past few years Bear Aware has been

very active when it comes to harvesting excess fruit in Revelstoke. Several years ago, Bear Aware realized a need to help people who could not har-vest their own ripe fruit and were leaving it for the bears.

To fill this need, Bear Aware created the Glean-ing Project, which brings volunteers to unman-aged fruit trees (with the owner’s permission), harvests the fruit, and takes it to the food bank. The Gleaning Project has been harvesting in ex-cess of 2000 pounds of fruit annually to help the community reduce human bear conflict. Now they need your help.

“The Gleaning Project costs Bear Aware in coor-dinator hours, phone bills, and vehicle expenses each year, and we gratefully accept membership fees and donations to help fund it, but we need to grow the project to include more trees, and that requires more funding,” said Sue Davies, Coordina-tor for Bear Aware.

This year, Axis Mundi has generously offered to

help with a crowd-funding cam-paign aimed at raising funds for an expanded Gleaning and Can-ning Project, which will also in-clude engaging kids in the whole process.

“I want to contact all those people who have not yet taken advantage of the project, and who let their fruit fall and rot on the ground, because letting fruit rot on the ground really steps up the attraction to bears,” said Davies.

“This year – depending on fund-ing – we will be pro-actively visit-ing those people with fruit trees that are not being harvested. We will offer the Gleaning Project ser-vices to fruit tree owners and we hope that increased uptake of the service will provide lots of fresh local fruit for humans, and much less of an attractant to our ursine neighbours.”

In addition to the harvest, the Local Food Initiative will be work-ing with groups of local kids to en-gage them in the process of turn-ing the fruit into canned or dried fruit, much of which will also be donated to the food bank.

Bear Aware does so much to help our community live in harmony with our town mascots. Now it is time to show your sup-port. Visit www.gofundme.com/kidscanproject to learn more about the project and to donate to this excellent local cause.

If you have a tree that you cannot manage to harvest, or if you want to help with the harvest-ing (and get to take home lots of fresh, local fruit) please email [email protected] or call Sue Davies on 250 837 8624.

Bear Aware would like to thank Axis Mundi for setting up the crowd-funding event, and CBT, CP Rail, Bresco Industries, Revelstoke Credit Union, Revelstoke Community Foundation, BC Gaming, and Parks Canada for their support of the Bear Aware Program.

Magnesium is involved in over 300 chemical reactions in our bodies. These reactions affect heart rhythm, our bones and our immune system. The average adult female needs 420 mg daily (310 mg for men). We get some magnesium from our food but many people are still deficient. Supplements are helpful here.

A new baby in the family? Congratulations! Just a reminder to keep the child on his back in the crib, don’t use blankets and pillows and dress the baby in a one piece sleeper. Also keep soft toys and

other objects out of the sleep area and don’t let anyone smoke around the baby. New babies should sleep in an area near where the parents sleep but NOT with the parents. All these suggestions will minimize SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).

Even though electronic cigarettes are not legal for sale in Canada, some people still use them. One of the problems with these devices is that there are no regulations about what they contain besides the liquid nicotine. E-cigarettes are relatively new so there is a lack of long-term

scientific evidence to support their safety. There is still concern that their use will lead to nicotine addiction.

Sometimes, people who are hard of hearing don’t let on that this is so. We want to know about it. When talking to you about a new prescription, we want to be sure you hear the information as well as read it in the handout. Hearing and seeing helps learning.

New applications for the Revelstoke Ad-venture Park are expected to be filed within the month, the proponent told council last week.

Jason Roe appeared in front of council last Tuesday, June 23, to provide an update on the proposed tourism destination, and get a vote of support for the project.

The bold plans call for lift-accessed mountain biking, bungee jumping, a zip line course, a mountain roller coaster, and an artificial lake with a mechanical surfing wave, all in the Greeley area about 10 kilo-metres east of Revelstoke.

"RAP offers recreational activities span-ning all skill levels, and there are several attractions planned that have never been seen before in BC," states a project summa-ry presented to council. "This unique slate of activities all in one location combined with incredibly easy access on a major na-tional thoroughfare makes RAP a singular offering within Canada."

The project has been in the planning phase for several years now. The propo-nents, Illecillewaet Land Development Partnership, which include Roe's Black Tie Properties and Revelstoke Mountain Resort, first filed an application with the province in January 2013, only to have it rejected in July of that year.

Since then, they have been working hard to address concerns raised by the province and fine tune the concept.

"We feel we’ve worked hard over the last two years and spent a lot of money on stud-ies. We think we’ve mitigated all the rea-sons, even the ones that weren't required," Roe said.

The project summary lists a number of studies and applications either completed or in progress. They include a wildlife assess-ment, wildfire study, terrain stability assess-ment, watershed assessment, traffic study, an Agricultural Land Commission non-farm use permit and a geotechnical report.

“We feel we've gone over and above what was required," said Roe. "We wanted to show the province when we got this appli-cation that they’d see that we've taken even bigger steps to providing a professional, thought out application that dealt with not just things they brought up, but other

things that we did that are requirements once approved, but we did before."

The development area has been modi-fied to move it away from the City of Revel-stoke's Greeley watershed, said Roe. Protec-tion of the watershed was cited as a concern in the rejection.

“The intensive use area is over two ki-lometres from the watershed boundary,” said Roe. “We made sure we clearly defined there is no watershed issue.”

The adventure park, if approved, will be built on a mix of 257 hectares of public land and 100 hectares of private land. Part of the tenure would overlap with RMR's commer-cial recreation area.

Roe said they plan on filing two appli-cations this month to move the project forward. The first is with the province for tenure over Crown land. The second appli-

cation is with the Columbia Shuswap Re-gional District for re-zoning the property.

Roe said that if all goes well, they hope to have a soft launch in the fall of 2016, with a full opening in 2017.

The plan is to build the adventure park in four phases. Phase one would involve design and construction. Phase two would see construction of a temporary base build-ing with retail and restaurant facilities, an RV park and campground, a multi-use trail, pump track, aerial ropes course, two ziplines, downhill mountain bike trails and a bungee jump.

Phase three includes construction of a permanent base building built, a gondola or chairlift, more biking and hiking trails, the mountain roller coaster, a driving range and development of the bungee centre with a restaurant and viewing platform on a ridge

with views towards Revelstoke. Phase four would include the artifi-

cial lake, a second chairlift, more ziplines, horseback riding trails, a mountain lodge and a rock climbing area.

An area dubbed Greeley Meadows will be set aside for hosting large events and the proposed 1,200 acre lake.

"We have plans for the lake and the first of its kind electric hydraulic driven wave pool," said Roe. "It’s like surfing in an ac-tual wave in the ocean, but it’s mechanically driven.”

Roe said the adventure park would em-ploy more than 200 people, not including construction.

Council was generally supportive of the project. "I’m excited about it," said Connie Brothers. "I’m hopeful it can do some good things for Revelstoke.”

A new record high temperature was set in Revelstoke on Sunday. The thermom-eter peaked at an oppressive 39.9 C at around 5 p.m., shattering the old mark for June 28 set 90 years in 1925, when it was a breezy 35 C.

Friday and Saturday were also scorch-ers – the high was 34.2 C both days – but not hot enough to top the 1925 heat wave, when the temperature topped 36 C both days.

Sunday's high wasn't quite an all-time record, but it did come close. The hottest temperature ever recorded in Revelstoke happened on July 17, 1941, when the thermometer hit 40.6 C. Records for Rev-elstoke go back to 1898.

Still, Sunday's high did set an extreme record for June.

"No matter how you slice, it was one hot day," said Lisa Coldwells, a meteorologist with Environment Canada.

She said temperatures are expected to remain above normal for the rest of the summer.

The heat wave prompted a special weath-er statement from Environment Canada. It also led to an alert from the Southeast Fire Centre, who raised the fire danger rat-ing around Revelstoke to extreme over the weekend.

"Following an unusually dry spring and with near record-breaking temperatures expected in the region over the weekend, the Southeast Fire Centre would like to remind the public of the elevated fire dan-ger," the fire centre warned. "The forecast for the weekend is calling for low humidity levels as well as poor overnight recoveries, which may cause fine fuels to be particu-larly prone to quick ignition."

They warned of potential for both light-ning and human caused fires. As of Mon-day morning, there was only one forest fire recorded in the Columbias — in a re-mote area of the Rocky Mountains north of Golden.

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

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

A new agreement has been reached between the City of Revelstoke and its professional firefighters.

The city and the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) Local 1746 announced the new contract Thursday morning.

“Mayor and council place a high value on the professional services of the firefighters in Revelstoke and we are pleased to see the collaborative effort displayed by Management and the IAFF that was essential in completing this agreement," said Mayor Mark McKee in a news release.

The lengthy contract is retroactive to 2012 and lasts through until 2019. It calls for minor benefit improvements and increased flexibility for the city to schedule staff. It also includes language promoting health, fitness, and training standards.

The contract does not set out wage increases. Those are determined by provincial negotiations and will be based on settlements at larger fire de-partments.

“We are pleased with this long term agreement that provides fair wag-es and benefit improvements for our members," said Dan Hutchison, the IAFF local president. "We would like to thank Mayor McKee and council for their support in ratifying this agreement.”

Firefighters are regularly amongst the highest paid city employees, often topping department managers in salary.


City, firefighters sign contract

Revelstoke council asked BC Hydro to reconvene a committee to oversee use on the Columbia River Flats.

Council was faced with two requests at its meet-ing on Tuesday. One was to ask BC Hydro for fund-ing for an enforcement officer for the area. The other was to have them reconvene the Upper Ar-row Lakes Drawdown Zone Advisory Committee.

After some discussion, they opted to go with the latter.

"“If we can get this committee re-convened, maybe these issues will resolve themselves," said councillor Scott Duke, who was sitting in the may-or's chair in Mark McKee's absence. "It may take longer than we think, but at least they’re getting looked at.”

Enforcement of regulations on the Flats has been an ongoing issue that emerged to the fore-front recently when the North Columbia Environ-mental Society asked for a ban of motorized recre-ation on the Flats.

The issue came back to council on Tuesday, with two motions recommended by city committees. There was some confusion over what exactly was being requested.

“I’m not too sure what we’re asking for? We’re asking for additional enforcement services - what

does that entail?" asked coun. Connie Brothers.Alan Mason, the city's director of economic de-

velopment, said it could mean funding to hire an extra RCMP officer or Conservation Officer.

“At this point neither agency has the capacity for enforcement there," he said. “I know the stake-holders have complained to hydro and they’re frustrated nothing’s happened.”

BC Hydro owns about 63 per cent of the Flats.He suggested reconvening the advisory commit-

tee before asking BC Hydro for extra enforcement.Council voted unanimously to go in that direc-

tion.Loni Parker, the director for Area B Rural Revel-

stoke, wrote a letter to BC Hydro requesting fund-ing for enforcement but was turned down.

"It opens up a dialogue," she said. "They did state they have instructed staff to work with us to find a way to resolve some of the issues, so we'll have further discussions."

She hopes to maintain pressure on BC Hydro so it takes more responsibility over the lands it owns in the drawdown zone.

"It's an ongoing issue. It's a little bit disheart-ening to see this conversation is still taking place after the years of discussion we have had," she said. "I'm hopeful we can sit down with BC Hydro and work something out that will help the com-munity."

Revelstoke council is hoping Mayor Mark McKee can use his political connections to bring forward a new planning process for Mount Macpherson.

McKee was away for the June 23 meeting of council, when a letter on the issue was received from Steve Thomson, the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

The letter rejected council's request for a new land-use plan for the Mount Macpherson area, and expressed support for the current processes in place. It was essentially the same letter sent to the Columbia Shuswap Regional District on the

matter.Council decided to wait and see if McKee would

be willing to use his political pull in Victoria be-fore pressing the matter. McKee ran for the BC Liberal Party in the 2009 provincial election.

“I don’t know whether we should put this back on to the next council meeting so he can com-ment as well," said councillor Connie Brothers.

Coun. Aaron Orlando seconded her recommen-dation.

"From the start I think the community is hop-ing for heightened planning in this area," he said. "I don’t think this response gets the community where we want to go and I’d like to move forward with continued discussion.

"There is the option for him to go to Victoria,"

It was a busy first six months for my-self and all of Council. We were able to check off many of the pre-election is-sues.

Council and staff worked in conjunc-tion with the Big Eddy Waterworks by pursuing funding opportunities to upgrade the system in order to achieve water security for residents and busi-nesses. The City is waiting to hear from higher levels of government on the out-come of the multi-million dollar grant application for upgrades to the system. The results of the application will be made available in the fall of 2015.

If the City is successful with the grant application, there will be a public en-gagement and consultation process in which the Big Eddy water users will vote on whether they would like the City to take over operations and if they approve of their share of the cost. The total cost will be made available so that property owners can make an informed decision.

Council, city staff and crews addressed the sewage treatment plant odour is-sues by installing two Gridbee mixers in the first lagoon which will assist in improving treatment efficiency and re-duce the potential for odours; and by in-stalling an air charcoal filtration system. Residents have noted a great improve-ment.

The renovations at City Hall were

completed and council and staff wel-comed the public to an open house on April 17. The newly located Engineering and Development Services Department provides service from the new Second Street entrance. This project has up-graded customer service as well as much needed handicapped access.

The 12-unit affordable housing proj-ect building permit has been issued to BPR Construction and the Revelstoke Affordable Housing Society. Although still waiting for final approval, the site has been prepped and footings have been poured.

Bylaw Enforcement and Public Works staff have found the implementation of the SeeClickFix program beneficial in terms of logging service requests and following up on issues. We encour-age residents to log their issues on the SeeClickFix app or through the link on the City of Revelstoke website.

Council’s number one priority is to continue to improve customer ser-vice. The public has seen a significant improvement in the application flow through City Hall with sign permits be-ing issued within one or two business days from application date. Building Permits now average 10 days from appli-cation to issuance and effective imple-mentation of a 24 hour response time to inquiries. Development Services has issued 143 building permits so far in 2015, with a value of $10,068,000, well over the yearly numbers for 2013 and also projected to be more than 2014. Business licenses hit the 1,000 mark in June!

Also underway is an Official Com-munity Plan (OCP) review. The initial stages will be worked on in various com-mittees and a public process will start early next year.

Council’s second priority will see Council and staff continue to focus on transparency and communication with the community through media releases, social media updates, the weekly May-or's Report, and the drop-in sessions with the mayor at City Hall on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

A Golf Club Task Force has been set up to look into making the course finan-cially stable with a goal of providing the community an economic driver as well as a great recreational facility. We are currently in negotiations with a private company to lease and improve all facili-ties at the course.

The Farwell Park pool matter has seen community members step up and become involved. Parks, Recreation and Culture staff are working with the splash park group to determine feasibility, de-sign and potential funding opportuni-ties.

In the next six months, Council will complete their first year in office and will devote time to work with the Direc-tor of Finance, Financial Focus Group and management on taking an in-depth look at municipal budgets and taxes. This year Council will be involved with every department from the beginning of the budget process through to adoption, with the goal to have more public con-sultation and to have the budget in place by the end of the year.

Walking through the door into Le Marche, Revelstoke’s new market, one can’t help but be impressed with the quality presented. Reminiscent of a European or large city market, quality is exactly what Le Marche’s owners are aiming for.

“Our goal was offer local food as much as possible,” Sonia Ratté explains. “Along with high quality imported foods. There is noth-ing mediocre.”

Le Marche opened Saturday, June 20, with little fanfare or advertising. “It’s been steady, which is what we hoped for,” Ratté says. “We wanted to make sure we had ev-erything organized before we advertised.”

Regardless of their quiet opening, cus-tomers have been streaming through the market.

The new venture for La Baguette owners Ratté and Olivier Dutil has actually been in the works for some time. The focus on qual-ity ingredients and presentation is some-thing La Baguette has long practised, and is unsurprising considering both Dutil and Ratté are classically trained chefs. They run several other enterprises, including a La Baguette location at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, the winter only station at the top of the Gondola, and a summer gelato stall at the Roxy Theatre. As well, they provide a catering service.

Le Marche represents what Ratté had ini-tially wanted to create with La Baguette but lacked the store front space to do so.

La Baguette, an incredibly popular cafe in town, will still carry baked goods and even more desserts, while Le Marche will carry the cheeses, fresh pastas and salads.

“La Baguette gets very busy, with a long line, for people just wanting some cheese or pasta or salad. Now they can come to Le Marche and get those items without the coffee line,” Ratté says.

Le Marche is much more than items from La Baguette. Wandering through the store one sees everything from fresh produce

(grown in Revelstoke or the Okana-gan), bulk spices, oils made from

pecan to pistachio, balsamic vinegar, cans of white truffle and porcini sauce, varying sizes of Italian tomato sauce, to frozen wild meats like venison, duck, wild boar, and salmon steaks, all priced as competitively as possible. There is a space for an outdoor market area Ratté soon hopes to ultize. “We are still filling our shelves,” Ratté laughs. “There is more to come.”

Joining Ratté and Dutil in this new ven-ture is co-owner Sarah Jeanne, who Revel-stokians may recognize from her two years working at La Baguette. Jeanne and Ratté actually hail from the same small town in

Quebec, St-Raymond, though they didn’t know one another before living in Revel-stoke. Ratté is thrilled to have Jeanne on board.

“Sarah is wonderful, and we have the same vision for Le Marche.”

Jeanne, Ratté and Dutil want Le Marche hours to work for the people of Revelstoke. They are open seven days a week, accom-modating residents’ various schedules. Le Marche truly does have something for ev-eryone. Head down and see what all the chatter is about.

What's your favourite Brown Bag History talk?

Last week, the Revelstoke Museum & Archives published Cathy English's Brown Bag History — Revelstoke Origins, the first in what may be a series of books based on her local history talks. The book was launched with a private-talk for Brown Bag regulars on Wednesday, and a public launch on Thursday. With more than 200 stories told, we asked people their favorites:

Above, from left:

Jacolyn Daniluck"I know it sounds terrible but I love the murder and mayhem

talk. Also, because of my job with Parks Canada, I love all the talks about the national parks."

Michelle Cole"I really like the Big Bend Highway because this is a part of his-

tory she ties all the way through. It's one of those untold stories people don't realize existed."

Glen Baker"The gold rush. I've always been fascinated by it. I wonder what

it would be like living in those towns."Don Hawker"The Big Bend country. There was so much history up there. The

road was built just before I was born, so I recognize a lot of the names."

Laura Rooney"I don't know. (Cathy's) just a master storyteller. She's inspira-

tional. You go to any event Cathy is talking at and you come away warm inside."

BC Hydro would like to notify Illecillewaet Dyke and Big Eddy Dyke trail users of periodic trail closures starting Wednesday, July 8, 2015 for noxious weed control. The weed control work is planned along the Illecillewaet River Dyke from the Fourth Street Bridge downstream to the BC Hydro Illecillewaet Substation, and along the Big Eddy Dyke from Highway 23 South, around the walkway to Big Eddy Road and the CPR rail grade.

Both dykes have infestations of noxious weed species including blueweed, spotted knapweed, oxeye daisy, Himalayan balsam and hawkweed. Weed control is required to limit the spread of the weeds to other areas by trail users, bicycles, dogs and wildlife. The weed control work involves the selective application of a weed control herbicide to problem areas. Within 24 hours of the application the herbicide will be fully absorbed by the vegetation and pose no risk to humans or animals.

Signs and barricades will be placed at access points to notify users of the trail closure. For more information please contact Adam Croxall at 250 814 6682 or by email at [email protected].

SUNGLASSES DAYJune 27 was National Sunglasses Day and in themidst of this amazing summer weather while mostpeople recognize the importance of sunscreen to

prevent burns and skin cancer, many are unaware of the damaging effects that UV can have on their eyes.

Overexposure to UV rays can cause a wide array of eye

problems including cataracts, corneal degeneration,macular degeneration, abnormal growths on and

around the eyes and sunburn of the eye.

And, did you know that most of the damagestarts to occur in childhood? Over 50% of lifetime

exposure to UV occurs before the age of 18.

So how can we help protect our eyes from thedamaging rays of the sun?... EASY, by wearing

a great pair of sunnies all year round.

How to pick the right sunglasses? Find a pair that looks good, is comfortable but most importantly � nd sunnies that block out 100% of UV-A & UV-B radiation and screen out about 70-90% of visible light. Scratches and imperfections in lenses can lead to reduction in the amount of protection so make sure to take good care of those sunnies.

Revelstoke Optometry Centre carries a wide variety of sunglasses including Maui Jims, Serengetti & Smith to name a few. Many of these styles can be made into prescription sunglasses. You can also get transition lenses (darkens with sun exposure), � t over sunglasses & clip-on sunglasses. Did you know that some contact lenses also block UV-A & UV-B rays?

Come see us today about the best option to protect your eyes from the sun!

STOKE YOUTH OF THE MONTH

Shana Codd-Wozniak

Shana Codd-Wozniak has lived in Revelstoke since she was five and has called Revelstoke home for the last 11 years. As a typical 16 year old, Shana enjoys music and hang-ing out with her friends. Shana has an amazing voice and loves to sing and play guitar in her spare time! She hopes to be a musician, music teacher or tattoo artist someday.

Something that is different about Shana is that she stands out among her peers as someone who has taken on a leadership role in her school and in the community. While she may at first seem shy, Shana is a strong leader and someone who takes initiative. In 2013, Shana had the opportunity to go to the We Day event in Vancouver and started get-ting involved with the Stoke Youth Network. Since then, Shana has worked on various projects including 'Me 2 We' fundraisers and the Leave Out Violence youth media projects.

Shana's passion for helping to make her school and community a better place, motivated her to apply for a CBT Youth Action Grant to host a second Leave Out Violence youth media workshop that took place this past spring. The workshop addressed issues of hate, homophobia, and bullying. Shana created a powerful media piece that addressed labels and stereotypes that was then shared in all four schools along with those of her peers.

Shana is an advocate and friend to those that are different, including the LBGTQ community. You will see Shana as a proud Safe Space supporter, walk-ing in this year's Canada Day parade. Shana has worked to engage her friends and peers in various projects, including those that would normally shy away from these sorts of extracurricular activities. Shana is a good friend to many, is a positive and caring person, who despite advisory has proven her ability to rise up and make a difference in our community and the world!

VOLUNTEERDRIVERSNEEDED

Revelstoke Mountain Resort, Interior Health, Parks Canada, the City of Revel-stoke, the Revelstoke School District and BC Hydro. Only employers, and not employees, were interviewed — a shortcoming recog-nized by the report authors.

Overall, a key message in the survey is that the labour market is tightening.

The tourism sector employs the most peo-ple as a whole, with 30.4 per cent of surveyed positions in food & beverage, accommoda-tion and tourism services. Government jobs make up 22.3 per cent of the work force, while forestry is third, representing 19.2 per cent of the workforce.

There's good news in the report. Almost half the businesses in town expect their staffing levels to remain the same in the next five years, while 45 per cent forecast expan-sion. Forestry, food & beverage, tourism and construction are expected to see the biggest job growth.

As well, Revelstoke isn't expected to face the same labour crunch as the Baby Boom-er's retire. More than half the workforce is between the ages of 25 to 44, and less than 10 per cent is between the ages of 55 to 64.

"Revelstoke’s labour challenges will likely lie in the fierce competition for the same pool of talented workers with other regions as statisticians say that for every two baby boomers who retire, there is less than one worker to replace them," the report states.

There is also good job stability in Revel-stoke; more than half of all positions in town

are full time. Fifteen per cent of jobs are for the winter season, reflecting the growth of the winter tourism market.

The bad news is that finding workers is be-coming an increasing challenge, with more than half the businesses in town saying they have trouble attracting or keeping workers.

"Many of the difficulties focused on find-ing seasonal workers, but often business owners (72%) stated that there were simply not enough applicants to choose from when posting for positions," the report states. "Other issues centred on applicants’ lack of experience, skill, and training along with the businesses owners’ ability to offer competi-tive wages."

The high cost of living in Revelstoke is also

cited as an issue.Occupations with the highest turnover

were almost all low-paying service sector jobs such as cashiers, kitchen employees, and servers. General labourers and health care workers also had high turnover.

Positions that are difficult to fill include truck drivers, machine operators, bicycle me-chanics, housekeepers, heavy duty mechan-ics, kitchen staff, and building construction.

The survey looks at how businesses hire and how they keep staff around. Businesses prefer to hire local workers, and word-of-mouth and employee referral are often used as they best way to hire people. They also used WorkBC, Facebook, the Stoke List and the Review to post job ads.

Job flexibility was considered a key for re-tention, along with making workers feel part of the team and appreciated.

Naturally, good pay was regarded as very important. The survey found that 28.9 per cent of jobs paid more than $30 per hour, but 27.1 per cent payed less than $15 per hour. Most jobs paid more than $20 per hour.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE FUTURE

The Labour Market Survey lays out seven goals for the future. The first goal is to pro-mote Revelstoke as a place to do business and work. This includes two objectives of maintaining a diverse economy and support-ing existing businesses.

The second goal is to help businesses with their hiring needs. 91 per cent of employers

said the would take part in a collaborative initiative that promoted retention and at-traction strategies. The third goal was to do a better job promoting job openings.

The fourth goal was to "support a respon-sive and sustainable approach to immigra-tion." This includes raising awareness of various immigration programs such as the Provincial Nominee Program and the Tem-porary Foreign Worker (TFW) program. In both those cases, employers said the pro-grams were bogged down by bureaucratic delays, making it difficult to take advantage them to hire people. "Businesses who re-quire workers, usually need them urgently, or at least need to be aware of the process-ing time, so they can plan accordingly," the report states.

The report recommends lobbying the gov-ernment to improve these programs. It also

recommends providing support services to immigrant workers.

The fifth goal is to "realize the full poten-tial of Revelstoke's current workforce." The report recommends getting more women, mature workers, youth, disabled and First Nations into the labour market.

The sixth goal involves retention of skilled employees. This includes providing year-round opportunities for seasonal workers, reducing the number of high turnover jobs, and promoting retention strategies.

The seventh goal is to improve training to meet current and future skill demands. One of the specific recommendations here is to establish a culinary arts school at the Revel-stoke Secondary through Okanagan College.

Work is already underway to implement the recommendations in the Labour Market Survey. Alan Mason said that a stakeholder group has been established through Work-BC. "Now that it's complete we're going to sit down and look at the all the actions and recommendations and coordinate it through the labour market network," he said.

Immigration challenges were raised as a key issue to address.

"The one thing that stood out to us that solidified our frustration to is the provin-cial nomination program and the TFW pro-gram," said Judy Goodman, the executive director of the Chamber of Commerce.

Mason said it would take lobbying to fix the programs to make them more useful for employers looking to recruit foreign workers.

As well, Community Futures is embarking on a living wage study to look at the feasi-bility of increasing wages at lower paying jobs. "This living wage research we're just starting to do will be interesting," said Ma-son. "We want that driven by business. We want to make the business case that if you pay your employee a living wage, does that make sense?"

Despite the intense heat in Kelowna at the H2O center over the weekend, the Revelstoke Aquaducks managed to swim exceptionally well in their first heats-and-finals meet of the season. This week-end was a true test of the Ducks’ speed, as there were multiple teams from other regions in attendance, who brought their fastest and toughest swimmers to the Okanagan.

Nolan Gale shaved two seconds off his personal best time to bring down team-mate Jackson Litke’s 100 meter freestyle record from last year. Senior swimmer Beth Granstrom swam her first full meet of the season with style, breaking two club records in the 100 meter freestyle and the 100 meter backstroke, though a disqualification in her first event took her out of aggregate contention.

Many other Aquaducks did win aggre-gate medals as rewards for their consis-tent swimming, helping the Ducks place second overall for team points, despite being severely outnumbered. Division 1 Girl Autumn Griffith-Doyle won a silver and was the highest finisher from the Okanagan in her division. Like Grans-trom, Ryder Litke was disqualified in his first event, though he still managed to snag a bronze aggregate for the Division 1 Boys, finishing behind Bence Berken-bosch, whose clean meet and consistent personal bests earned him a well-de-served silver.

Division 2 Girls Sani Supinen and Kayln Gale received bronze and silver ag-gregates, and Division 3 Alex Jay won a silver for the Boys category.

James LeBuke and Nolan Gale both finished the meet with three firsts and a second, which tied them for the Division 4 Boys gold aggregate; and Jackson Litke

tied for Gold with Ogopogo Matthew MacDonald in the Division 5 Boys. Kate Granstrom picked up a bronze aggregate in the Division 5 Girls after swimming 100 per cent best times over her four events.

Other notable swims came from Hunt-er Stewardson, who won the Division 3 Girls 50 meter breaststroke, and Devyn Gale, who narrowly missed an aggregate in the Division 3 Girls category after a meet of strong swimming just off her per-sonal bests. Division 5 boys Erik Brosch and Logan Marcolli took off significant time in all their events over the weekend, as did Division 4 girls Sara Supinen and Rebecca Brosch.

The Aquaducks will compete next weekend in Merritt before heading to Golden the following weekend for anoth-er heats-and-finals meet in preparation for Regionals in Kamloops in August.

BUSINESS DIRECTORY

They didn’t smash a champagne bottle to christen the boardroom, but directors of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District were bubbly in their praise for the new wa-terfront headquarters.

Directors were present for the first board meeting in the new waterfront fa-cility, which consolidates the CSRD staff from three separate offices under one 22,950 sq. ft. roof.

“It’s a pretty exciting day,” said board chair Rhona Martin from her position at the centre of the board table. “It’s wonder-ful to have all the staff under one roof and after taking a tour and speaking to people, everyone is very happy, they like their work spaces, they like that it is bright with

lots of light.”Other directors echoed the compli-

ments, saying the single building will increase work efficiency, ultimately will reduce costs and is an attractive environ-ment.

The building also has the future expan-sion potential of adding another 10,400 sq. ft.

“Of course, we are 25-35 years away from anything like that, but it is prudent to know the future expansion potential is there,” says Charles Hamilton, chief ad-ministrative officer.

The total cost of the building was fixed in the deal at $7.6 million, although CSRD directed another $200,000 in upgrades, mainly towards making the building more energy efficient.

“LED lights, for example, were an add

on that we felt would have a long-term payback in reducing operational costs and save on maintenance,” added Hamilton.

“It’s a really nice building and will serve us well,” says Rene Talbot, Area D director.

Much of the move took place over the weekend with the CSRD only shutting down to the public for one day before re-opening June 15 in the new facility on Harbourfront Drive, east of Marine Park.

The former CSRD building at 781 Ma-rine Park Drive has already been sold to a local investment firm, with a closing date of sale as July 31.

Hamilton says the CSRD wanted a sim-ple, functional and fiscally prudent build-ing, with an emphasis on natural materi-als.

“The public can be critical of over-builds in government facilities, I think what

we have here is a nice balance of a func-tional building that has been successful in achieving some nice design elements, pri-marily through the use of natural wood, windows and the building overhang,” says Hamilton.

Also part of the board’s business at their first meeting in the new boardroom was to name the meeting rooms. The building committee and CSRD staff came up with the idea to name the rooms after bod-ies of water, including at least one from each area of the CSRD. The rooms will be named: Shuswap, Columbia, Illecillewaet, Reinecker and Gardom.

Martin thanked the staff for ensuring each area had a representative name.

“You know we politicians can be sensi-tive about these things,” she said with a laugh.

14 n Revelstoke Review n Wednesday, July 1, 2015A14 www.revelstokereview.com Wednesday, July 1, 2015 Revelstoke Review

George Donald Olson George Donald Olson passed away at Queen Victoria Hospital, Revelstoke on Sunday, June 21st at the age of 76 years. There will be no formal funeral service by George's own request. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society's Southern Interior Rotary Lodge, 2251 Abbott Street, Kelowna, B.C. V1Y 1E2, or the Heart & Stroke Foundation of B.C., 729 Victoria Street, Kamloops, B.C. V2C 2B5 in memory of George.

George was born in Revelstoke, B.C. on May 27, 1939 and had been a life-

long resident. He was a well-respected custodian and school bus driver for many years and, after retirement, became a transit bus driver for the City. George was a long-time member of the Lions Club, and Senior Citizens Centre. He enjoyed woodworking and crafts and made toys for his children and grandchildren. George also enjoyed his social time with his friends. He was a wonderful Dad and Grandpa. His sense of humor will be greatly missed.

George was predeceased by his parents, Andrew and Elizabeth; siblings: Andy Olson, Gladys Smith, Doris Pryhitko, Jack Olson, Millie Blair and Mary Hollingsworth; son-in-law Bob Brummitt and step grand-daughter Carley Kennedy. He is survived by his wife Jessie of Revelstoke; two children: Barb Brummitt of Gardom Lake and Randy (Rose) Olson of Mara; three grandchildren: Cassie Brummitt (Serge Spataro) of Revelstoke, Allie (Adrian) Stokman of Calgary and Cole Brummitt of Calgary; step grand-daughter Libby Kennedy of Toronto; three great grandchildren: Ava, Isla and Mela; two brothers: Mickey Olson of Revelstoke and Ron (Shirley) Olson of Surrey as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Ken also loved to sing and shared his love of music with many during his life including the residents of Mt. Cartier Court Extended Care. Ken was also a former Trout Lake Fire Chief, President of the Trout Lake Beach Society, and a past president of Trout Lake Community Club.

He was predeceased by his parents; his first wife, Kathy; son, Kevin and one brother Keith. Ken always thought of his blended family as one, so all are included.

The annual Revelstoke Youth Soccer Associa-tion wind-up took place on Saturday, June 20, with 39 local soccer teams of all ages taking to the fields for their final games of the season.

It was also time to hand out medals, eat pizza, and thank all of the coaches, sponsors, and vol-unteers who made this soccer season one of the best. The day was a perfect combination of cool air, warm sun and happy soccer players. Check out the photos in the gallery below.

In the Thompson-Okanagan Youth League (TOYSL), the U11 Development boys headed to Kelowna, where they finished off the season with their first double victory at a jamboree.

In the morning, they won a strategic and well-played match against Kamloops with a game-winning goal coming late in the game from Brodie Patry. In the afternoon, the boys beat Penticton in a high-scoring game that Revel-stoke controlled from start to finish with sharp passes and solid defensive play. This decisive win reinforced the idea that this group of boys has come a long way as a team since they began prac-ticing together back in the dark days of winter.

On that note, Development/Rep soccer reg-istration will happen again this fall. All players who are interested in participating in these pro-grams next season will need to register at mass registration on Wednesday, Sept. 9, at the com-munity centre. Anyone interested in coaching a development or rep soccer team can also fill out an application at this time.

RYSA would like to thank its sponsors, all the volunteers, and the Revelstoke community for another great season of soccer.

CONGRATULATIONSTO THIS YEAR’S GRADUATES

I am very happy to be speaking to the graduating class of 2015.

As I puzzled over what to say today, I looked at various quotes for inspiration. I looked at inspirational quotes, funny quotes, successful quotes — I looked everywhere. Nothing seemed to fit for this group.

And then one jumped out at me, mainly for its humor, but it resonated with a truth about this class. It is a quote from Robert Orben: “A graduation ceremony is an event where a …speaker tells …students dressed in identical caps and gowns that ‘individual-ity’ is the key to success”.

I saw that word, “individuality”, and I had it. This class is one full of individuals. Well of course it is. But as I have come to know you over the past few years, I am cer-tain that all of you deeply and intuitively understand this truth. Rarely have I seen a group of young people who are so diverse in their approach to life and in their way doing things.

Honestly, it drove me a little buggy try-ing to figure you out my first while here. A student for whom I have the utmost re-spect pulls out a tooth with a pair of pliers helpfully supplied by his best friend in the middle of the common room while 20 of you cheer?

Honestly, this class was a puzzle. Yet, this is a class that understands their individual-ity and accepts it as strength. I finally did too. I finally got it.

This is a class that has produced excel-

lence in so many different areas like sports, academics, and, in my opinion, one of the strongest drama/fine arts groups I’ve seen in my career. I will miss all of you when you leave. You have entertained me with your

antics, amused me with your humor (I loved having Batman do our announcements) and yes, drove me crazy a time or two. Most of all, I admire you for your individuality and the bonds with each other that you have

created over the years.I wish you the best of luck in the future,

and know that we at RSS are very proud of each and everyone of you.

Thank you.

Best wishes for the future from everyone at Canyon Industrial Electrical Services

I am very happy to have the opportu-nity to congratulate you today.

While this day is traditionally all about you, and your success, I’d like to reflect for just a minute on some of the factors that contributed to that success.

You have parents, extended families, and friends who care. Those people in your lives who celebrated your achieve-ments, worried about you when you struggled, and quickly forgave if you did something that caused someone to say, “seriously, what were you thinking”.

At school, you were surrounded by staff who did much the same — cele-brated your achievements, empathized when you struggled, and encouraged you to do your best, whatever shape that took. These were the people who helped you get that last bit of studying in before a big test, met you in a class, the gym, or a shop after school or early morning so you could work, talk, or just hang out. They helped you prepare for life after school, and helped you clean up the messes that sometimes were made after you said to your buddy, “Hey, watch this…”

Our school district mission state-ment refers to a ‘dynamic and safe envi-ronment’ and to ‘approaching learning today and tomorrow with passion and joy.' On behalf of our staff, your sup-porters, I hope that you find a perfect balance between the elements of safety and passion, and that your next steps are both dynamic and joyful.

All the best, graduates.

CONGRATULATIONSTO THIS YEAR’S

GRADUATES

Keep On Track With Your Education

Congratulations 2015 Grads!

Good afternoon parents, teachers, administration, family, friends and community members and, of course, graduates of 2015.

What an honour it is to be asked to give you a few last words of advice and guidance. I must remember to thank you for that; thank you! Now graduates, if you look to the audience you can see how proud your families are, after 12 years of educational “slogging,” you’ve made it. Your family will never be prouder of you than they are at this moment. Grads, to me it seems that this would be a good time to ask for a lot of money. I mean, think of how hard you’ve worked. There is no way they can say no.

You started out with 84 in your cohort five years ago and now you are down to 72. Clearly there was no guarantee you would make it here, yet here you are. I, along with your parents and teachers, have seen your successes, your failures, your growth, your loss and so many other happenings in your lives-tears and smiles. (Both perhaps when you think about me in that French maid outfit way back in grade 8.)

Deadlines, homework and tests caused the onset of the odd tantrum. Practical jokes (I thought about making a Saran wrap song here, but was afraid it might be a waste of toilet paper — the grads get that) were also important. You had sports trips, Europe trips, math tests, proms, Halloweens, pig dissections, Ono Cho visits — some of you have hosted exchange students and gone on rotary exchanges. You have had drama and art shows, guest speakers like Rob Nash, Bob MacDonald, The White Hatter and others. Your community and school have done a right proper job trying to make life exciting and of value, and through curricular and extra curricular we have done it.

Now, I needed a theme for this particular graduation speech, something to tie it all together and I think I've come up with a doozy — crushing failure and utter disappointment.

Oh wait, sorry! This is not a theme about my future, it is about your future. With that in mind, I think I found a better one. I remembered my Slinky from when I was younger and how Slinkies are a lot like some people we meet everyday — not really good for anything, but fun to push down the stairs nonetheless. With this in mind, I have my theme: Falling Down.

I mean, when you think about it, life has always involved a lot of falling down, literally and figuratively. When you were just a baby first learning to walk, you failed and fell down but you didn’t give up did you — you got up again! (And again and again and again.)

When you first started to speak you made mistakes. You fell down, but you didn’t give up. You got up again. I'm willing to bet the first time you tried cooking, helping mom or dad or grand-ma in the kitchen, you probably mucked things up. In fact, they wont tell you, but you probably ruined the 50th anniversary party because you destroyed the cake. You fell down, but you know what? You got up.

Speaking of party food, I remember when a man assaulted me with milk, cream and butter. All I could think about was, “how dairy.” (I know a bud pun)

Your first day of kindergarten was 12 years ago. You strug-gled to create friendships with people you didn't know. Un-doubtedly you failed in many cases. But you know what, you

got back up and made friends. Of course kindergarten is also where you learned why milk stools only have three legs — the cow has the udder!

And, of course, in high school you had to deal with dating is-sues, rumours, whispers, burn books, Internet gossip, Snapchat pics. So many times you’ve been pushed down or fallen down and yet here, right now, we see you have all gotten up. You’ve done it, you’ve made it — you’re here.

Of course, I feel kind of bad in some ways — we always told you to follow our dreams… yet we never let you sleep in class. (Well almost never!)

Of course, some falling down is easier than others. And per-haps the toughest part your parents have had to deal with is both letting you fall down and not helping you; forcing you to do it on your own. The goal, of course, is self-sufficiency. It can be so tough when you know the answer and have to let someone learn the hard way. Remember this though, you have learned to fall and get up on your own, but you have never been nor ever will be alone!

As you leave us now and venture into the world, it is so im-portant to remember that you'll never really know what you're truly capable of unless you challenge yourself to do something you're afraid. As the Beatles said, “Life is very short and there is no time, for fussing and fighting my friend(s).”

Of course we have educated you, but some things wont make sense even with 12 years of education. We taught you how to tune a piano, but how do you tuna fish?

You have fallen down many times here and, as the expression goes, it's okay to fall down five, 15 or 100 times as long as you get up six, 16 or 101 times. Failure doesn't have to be final! In fact, it should be the start of your education, not the end. Plan-ning is key now and remember — you don’t need a parachute to

sky dive…you only need if you plan to skydive twice.Of course, not all falling down is helpful — it’s always easy

to fall down on your own, but too often in life we push others down. I am always fascinated when people are asked, “What would you change in your life?” And the response is always… “Nothing! All the good and bad decisions I have lived through has made me who I am today.” I get it, but you know what, if you were to ask me that question I would change things! I would change how I pushed down others. I hurt others and caused them pain there is no way to take that back.

I remember back when I was in grade four. There was this girl in my class (I can’t remember her name but I can see her clear as a bell) and for some reason she was bullied it seemed everyday. I remember I took part in it as well. I used to push my pencil off my desk on purpose and ask her to pick it up.

Despite all the abuse she took from fellow classmates, she happily helped me out and picked my pencil up when asked. Perhaps it was because I talked to her, or because she was lonely and liked the idea of being able to help someone.

One day, she realized I was doing this on purpose (I suspect she heard me whisper to two or three other classmates that I could push my pencil off the desk and she would pick it up — just like a dog.) She said no and – I get a bit hazy here – but I believe I threatened her and she picked it up, tears in her eyes.

She did not fall down! She was pushed. One day her mom came in and showed the class an amazing skill she had. She could make really good birch baskets. Everyone was this grade four’s friend that day and I am sure she thought it would all be okay after that; she would not have to be afraid anymore or hurt. Nope! It turned bad for her again and the bullying started it up.

She didn’t stay much longer than that. In fact, I can’t remem-ber how much longer she was there. I do remember her to this day however. In this case she did not fall down — I along with others pushed her down, again and again and again. I hope she got back up but I don’t know.

It's never easy to lift ourselves up when we fall down, but make sure as best you can you don’t push someone down — whether it be their appearance, values, beliefs, ideas, because the thought that I caused harm to someone, that will never leave me, ever.

Fortunately this school has tried to install in you Respect, Safety and Success. It is our motto and it is our belief. Take it with you and use it. Help others when they have fallen and we will help you when you fall. Your family and friends have shown you there is a better way than pushing down. That is the lesson I want you to leave with!

I have a couple of last bits of advice for all of you to keep in mind. Remember, the early bird might get the worm, but it’s the second mouse that gets the cheese, and if anyone of you were on a raft with me and it was sinking and there was only one life jacket, I would miss you heaps and think of you often afterwards, and tell people your wonderful story. Know you will be missed but not forgotten and that you always have a home in this school and this community.

OMNES UNUM SUMAS. We are all one! I want to sincerely thank you – it’s been a blast – and ask you to thank your family and friends. They are on the stage with you as they have been every time you have fallen down and got back up. All the best in your futures Grads of 2015. Thank you!

1621 Mill Road Ph: 250-837-2222

Welcome graduates, parents, teachers, family members, men-tors, and others to this very special afternoon. Thank you for coming to support the graduates, who I am honored to be representing with the valedictory address for the class of 2015.

Every new experience in our life brings about change. This starts from the moment we are born, when we take our first breath and our lungs begin to exchange car-bon dioxide for oxygen. When you take the training wheels off your bike and you start riding without them. You feel incredibly proud of yourself and learn the value of hard work. The first time you crash with-out training wheels you learn that – even though you are a pro now – you will not succeed every time you try something.

In kindergarten, we learn to play fair because other kids might cry if we don’t. As adults we play fair because it makes us good people. We also learned to say we are sorry when we didn’t play fair or when we hurt someone. We cannot forget how important apologies can be. I know we’re Canadian, and maybe apologize too much, but people need to hear our apologies and we need to give them.

When we were six and we grew bean plants in school, we watered them and gave them sunlight, and we watched them grow. We came to understand that we were helping them, and we learned how it is that organisms grow and live.

The first time we understood the purpose of Remembrance Day, we came to respect those who came be-fore us, and we began to appreciate everything they gave us.

When we hit high school, I know that I’m not the only one who had to realize, that not everyone wants to be friends. Sometimes we have to understand that we are better off without those people. We learned that sometimes we need to forgive others, not for their benefit, but for our own. This way we can move on to greater things, and better experi-

ences.Throughout high school, when

suddenly we had three tests next week, two projects due, and our friends wanted to go do something everyday, we learned how to priori-tize.

After our first heartbreak, we learned self-value. We learned how strong we can be independently. When we experienced loss for the first time we learned how to grieve, and we understood how to move forward though we never forget those we’ve lost.

Throughout all of these experi-ences, there have been people be-side us, supporting us. Thank you to parents who’ve held our hands crossing the streets, as well as on countless other occasions. Thank you to the teachers and support staff who have both put up with us, and helped us learn valuable lessons, both scholastic and other wise.

Thank you to everyone: parents, teachers, mentors, family members, and others for your continuous and unwavering support throughout our lives and academic careers thus far.

We are graduating from RSS, but we are not about to stop having new experiences. We are each heading off down new paths and each of us will continue to grow throughout our lives.

Graduation marks the end of high school, but the beginning of the rest of our lives. We will continue to make mistakes and learn from them, and we will create irreplace-able memories. There are lessons we learned from a young age that have been important to us. One les-son that we cannot forget and that we too often do forget is that fun needs to be a priority, at least some of the time.

The past has prepared this years graduating class very well for the future. The lessons they have learned will help them with every-thing they choose to do. Good luck to all the graduates with all of your future endeavours.

Thank you and have a great after-noon.
