TAX BATTLE: Revelstoke Chamber disappointed by council tax increase - 3
The last two times Norm Mac-donald ran for to be the MLA for Columbia River–Revelstoke, he was running as someone who was likely to be an opposition member. Now, running for the third time, he is someone who is likely to be a major player in a potential NDP government.
With the election campaign officially underway, polls have the NDP looking at a comfort-able majority, and Macdonald is expected to win his seat.
Eric Grenier, who runs the polit-ical website threehundredeight.com, gives the NDP a 92 per cent chance of winning the election, and has Macdonald polling at 52.8 per cent.
“I can’t speak to that riding specifically, but given how well the NDP is doing in the polls and how badly the Liberals are faring, it seems extremely unlikely that any NDP incumbent who won by a good margin in 2009 will be in any danger, particularly in a rid-ing like Columbia River–Revel-stoke where a Conservative will be on the ballot,” he told the Times Review in an e-mail.
His view was echoed by two other pundits contacted by the Times Review. Alice Funke, who runs the website PunditsGuide.ca, said she has not seen Colum-bia River–Revelstoke mentioned as a swing seat in any election cov-erage nor by her political contacts. Sacha Peter, who runs the website BC2013.com, said it take a “prov-ince-wide monumental catastro-phe for the BC NDP” for Macdon-ald to lose his seat.
“[In 2005 and 2009] it was clear to most people that they were electing an opposition mem-ber,” Macdonald said in an inter-
view last week. “I think it’s fair to say at this time that most would be expecting to elect a member of an NDP government. I think that changes the campaign somewhat.

HOT YOGA CLASSES NOW AVAILABLE
Since November, Beau Miller has been teaching Bikram yoga out of a small studio downtown. At the beginning of next month she is moving into a new, bigger space on Illecillewaet Road, and in prepara-tion she is holding an information session on April 22.
“There’s loads of people in town that when we meet each other on the street, they say they’ve been mean-ing to come or they’re hesitant, so this is an opportunity for these peo-ple to come, listen to a presentation and ask questions,” she said.
Bikram is a style of yoga adapted from the ancient Hatha yoga by Bikram Choudhury, who chose 26 postures and two breathing exer-cises to be performed in a spe-ci� c order inside a hot room that is
designed to mimic practicing yoga in India.
“It’s been proven to be effective, to signi� cantly help people with their pain – whether it’s mental pain of physical pain,” said Miller.
Bikram yoga is performed in a room that is 40 C. The heat is said to make the muscles softer, making them more � exible and allowing them to stretch further and deeper.
Miller discovered Bikram yoga after going to classes with her daughter Courtney. Last year she took her teacher’s training at Bikram Yoga College in Los Ange-les.
“When I come out of the room it feels like I’m inside a new body. It just feels like a full body massage,” she said. “Teaching, what I get out of it is seeing the joy and relief in my students faces, and the words they’re telling me.”
Her new studio is located at 1596 Illecillewaet Road. It will have a
bigger room, a change room and a bigger reception area. It is sched-uled to open on May 1, but before that she is holding an information session on April 22 from 6–7 p.m.
Until the studio opens, she will continue to hold daily drop-in classes at her studio at 111 Second St. East.

It’s National Immunization Awareness Week in Canada from April 20-27. One hundred years ago, infectious diseases were the leading cause of death worldwide. In Canada, they now causes less than 5% of all deaths .... thanks to immunization programs across our country.
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is such a heartbreaking affliction.
Work is being done all over the world to find a cure or at least a way of slowing the progress of the disease. One method being tested right now is a “brain pacemaker” which sends mini-electric signals to the part of the brain that is affected by AD. It does show promise. Although not a cure, it could help delay memory loss.
Here’s another reason why taking good care
of your teeth and gums is important, especially for young women. There is a link between poor dental hygiene and premature births. Bacteria from the mouth can migrate to the child in the womb and increase the risk of early delivery. Not had a dental check-up lately? Do it now.
We hear a lot about cutting down our salt intake. Some sources

The Revelstoke Boxing Club wishes to extend its appreciation to the following organizations, businesses, individuals, and in particular, all the volunteers that made the club show held atMt. Begbie gym on Saturday, April 6, 2013 a great success:
Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce directors and executive members filed dejectedly from a city council budget meet-ing on April 9, feeling that council ignored their budget comment package.
Despite warnings from the Budget Focus Group and the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce that the city has been on an unsustainable spending binge for a decade, council opted to stay the course, voting for a 3.5% tax increase, plus other hidden fee increases that mean it’s actually much more than that. Sewer rates were hiked by 15 per cent, for example.
In a huddle outside of the meeting, chamber leaders said their message wasn’t heard.
“I think there’s disappointment that expenses aren’t being addressed,” said chamber president Steve Bailey, as five other chamber board members nodded in agreement.
“We were hoping that expenses would be reviewed because the city’s been on a continual spending spree. [Since] 2008 to today spending has doubled. We’ve gone from [$9.5] million to [$19.9] million in five years. It’s not a two-per-cent increase in the budget over last year. It’s actually a 9.1 per cent increase in spending in the city budget. The city never speaks of that – that’s what council never tells the public about, and it’s been going on for years. It’s been going on since 2002.”
“The budget’s gone from $5 million to $19 million in ten years,” Bailey under-scored. And city council doesn’t dis-agree; when asked if they concurred with the chamber’s assessment, mayor David Raven didn’t object. (The Chamber based their analysis on city numbers.)
Chamber members said increases in rev-enue streams brought on by new devel-opments such as hotels masked the actual increases in city spending. In addition, the city has burned through budget reserves.
Chamber director Peter Nielsen said the city is risking the golden revenue goose. “That new revenue is not going to con-tinue, especially if you continue to raise
the business taxes – development is going to stop. What’s going to happen? We hit the point where there’s no new reve-nues, but we have this massive budget that we have to fulfil? We’re going to have to increase taxes ... and start to see taxation in the nine- and ten-per-cent increases.”
Chamber executive director Judy Good-man said council focused on the wrong side of the equation. “What we were ask-ing was that they actually look at the cost of the operating expenses, not just the [tax] increases.” A few last-minute cuts made by council on the altar of the highly-scru-tinized final budget meeting weren’t suffi-cient. Council opted to hold back on hiring a new Corporate Review Officer, cut some fire department funding and trimmed an operations review, but Goodman pointed out these cuts were actually for new pro-posed spending. Regardless of the cuts, spending has gone up $1.9 million with the new budget.
“I also think the $160,000 they cut out were the easy cuts,” said chamber direc-tor Randy Driediger. “[They’re] just going to appease the public by saying, ‘Hey we cut stuff out of the budget.’ In the big pic-ture where are the hard cuts being made? They’re not. That’s the problem I have with the whole budget process. Somebody [has] to stand up and be accountable.”
“The budgeting process is broken. It needs to be started sooner,” Goodman said.
Chamber members said talking about cuts to the 2013 budget just doesn’t work when the budget isn’t signed off on until mid-May; the city needs to move the whole process up by almost a year.
“It’s the city department heads that are the experts here,” Goodman said. “Let’s let them go back and figure out how to be more efficient.”
Chamber members noted layoffs were “taboo” amongst councillors, and efforts to find efficiencies were insufficient. They did acknowledge the city was facing some unavoidable cost increases.
CounCil opts for tax inCreases in split vote
Mayor David Raven had terse words for
Coun. Tony Scarcella, after he accused the councillor of grandstanding.
“It’s not just a 3.5 per cent tax increase. It’s about a five per cent tax increase,” Scar-cella said after himself and Coun. Chris Johnston unsuccessfully voted against the 3.5 per cent increase. “Also, I’d like to thank the Chamber of Commerce and the focus group. They spent lots of time, and we didn’t listen to them. I don’t believe it’s very fair to ask them to come back next year because they put lots of time [in] and we didn’t listen.”
Mayor David Raven bristled: “Coun-cillor Scarcella, that’s wrong. That’s abso-lutely wrong. And this little sniping thing is going out of control. We did listen to them; I spent a lot of time with the focus group. The whole staff spent time with the focus group and we listened to all of their comments all the way along.”
The final terse exchange was the only marked deviation from the same customary rate-setting budget meeting over the past five years. Councillors spoke in turns pre-senting their views.
Coun. Steve Bender said the city had to build reserves (1.5 per cent of the tax increase is earmarked for reserves): “We’re running a thin line,” he said, predicting a catastrophic infrastructure failure of some kind. “It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.”
Coun. Chris Johnston, who voted against the increase, used a paycheque metaphor. He compared city hall to a week-to-week Johnny Paycheque. “If we give the city the money, they’ll spend it all. That’s what we’ve been doing.”
Coun. Linda Nixon said reserves needed to be built, but worried the earmarks would “get swallowed into a big black hole.” She asked for a new 1.5 per cent efficiency in city operations to match the reserve allo-cation.
Coun. Tony Scarcella pointed out a $1.9 million increase in expenditures in 2013 over 2012. “How can you tell the taxpay-ers that we’re going to save [$100,000 in reserve taxes] and then we spend $1.9 mil-

BC Hydro seeking environmental assessment for Revelstoke 6 turbine
BC Hydro is embarking on an envi-ronmental assessment for the instal-lation of a sixth turbine at the Revel-stoke Dam.
In a news release, BC Hydro said it is currently assessing the need of the project, but if it goes ahead, it would involve installing a sixth penstock,
turbine and generating unit inside a vacant bay at the Revelstoke Dam. It would increase the generating capac-ity of the dam by 500 megawatts, to 3,070 megawatts.
It would also involve building a new series capacitor station west of the Summerland area and upgrading the Nicola substaion in order to reli-ably deliver the additional generation.
A project description has been
filed with the BC Environmen-tal Assessment Office. In addi-tion to the environmental assess-ment, BC Hydro is also applying for an amended water licence to increase the allowable water flow of the dam to 93,000 cubic-feet-per-second from 90,000.
BC Hydro says it will also be reviewing the Columbia River Water Use Plan to determine if revisions need to be made to address the operation of Revel-stoke 6.
A draft Integrated Resource Plan issued by BC Hydro last year called the project “the most
cost-effective dependable capac-ity option currently available to BC Hydro.” It would also help the province meet its targets under the Clean Energy Act, as well as help BC Hydro meet peak energy demands in the future. The envi-ronmental impact is stated to be minimal because the work would be contained within the existing dam.
However, hydro-electricity projects that boost the generating capacity of a dam by more than 50 MW are subject to an environ-mental review.
Construction is expected to
take 40 months and BC Hydro is looking to start installing the new turbine in 2016 for service by October 2019.
The turbine is expected to cost about $340 million, though costs could range from 15 per cent lower to as much as 50 per cent higher, according to the resource plan. It would create about 390 person years of employment dur-ing construction.
The Revelstoke Dam finished construction in 1984 with only four turbines, but with space for six. A fifth turbine went into operation in 2010.

The City of Revelstoke has unveiled a plan to allow over-night vacation rentals in sev-eral city neighbourhoods. Once approved, owners could rent the homes much like a hotel, post signs advertising them, or even live in them part-time and rent them during peak seasons.
A new draft plan unveiled by the City of Revelstoke plan-ning department on April 12 outlines the proposed neigh-bourhoods. It includes sections of Victoria Road, Fourth Street in Southside, upper Mackenzie Avenue, a large zone around and including Mountain View school, along east Third Street, Airport Way to Nichol Road, on Nichol Road and along Camozzi Road west of Nichol Road.
The draft proposal outlines many requirements for a tour-ist home:— The owner must rent the vacation unit, not someone who is subletting— Exterior signage is permit-ted— A secondary suite is allowed, but the owner must live at the property— Owners must ensure the rental doesn’t create a nuisance— A maximum of five people per vacation rental unit— Development permits are required as part of the approval process— A building permit is also required as part of the approval process— A business licence is required— On site parking require-ments match existing require-ments, such as for a basement suite
In February, city plan-
ning director John Guenther got approval from council to develop the proposal. How-ever, the concept has been dis-cussed by the planning director at public meetings during the Unified Development Bylaw process. Specifically, Guenther outlined the concept of allow-ing vacation rentals along Rev-elstoke arterial roads, includ-ing Nichol Road and Airport Way.
The draft plan doesn’t require a zoning change, nor are there any provisions, such as a public hearing, that would allow neighbours to challenge or block a proposed tourist home.
At the April 9 city council meeting, Mayor David Raven cited the proposed tourist home plan as an example of city council listening to the Cham-ber of Commerce, who support increasing the tax base.
The draft plan has a big unknown variable in it so far: taxation. “The assessment authority will decide your tax class,” states a planning depart-ment FAQ. “Further informa-tion will be forthcoming.”
As the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce and commercial property owners have pointed out for several years, the dis-parity between residential tax rates and commercial tax rates is one of the highest in B.C. If BC Assessment switched a property from a residential to commercial assessment, the annual tax bill will rise multi-fold.
For example, according to a City of Revelstoke online cal-culator, residential properties paid $713 in property taxes (city, school and other) per $100,000 of assessed value in 2012. Commercial properties paid $2,717 per $100,000 –
almost four times as much. The property tax bill for
a home valued at $350,000 would jump from $2,495 to $9,510.
And it’s not that simple. BC Assessment would re-assess the value of the property using a complex formula that incor-porates many factors, includ-ing the property’s ability to generate revenue. It’s possible the assessment could rise.
In February, Guenther floated the concept of a tour-ist accommodation levy in a report to council, but it remains unclear how that would work. The city doesn’t have the authority to determine assess-ments. However, an email from Jason Sowinski, BC Assess-ment Deputy Assessor for the Okanagan region, outlined options that could include tax relief depending on the spe-cific property. Giving an exam-ple, he wrote that a residence operating like a hotel would be assessed commercial, while one that rents occasionally could be assessed residential.
The report discussed by council on Feb. 26 contained examples of vacation rental policies in other communities, including the City of Pentic-ton. Several passages from the Penticton policy have been cut and pasted to make up the pro-posed Revelstoke policy.
The City of Revelstoke plan-ning department is currently accepting early public feed-back and says it will seek more feedback before and after the actual bylaw is drafted. Email comments to [email protected]. Hard copies are avail-able at city hall.

Editor’s note: Southern Alberta Insti-tute of Technology journalism student Carl BR Johnson has returned home to Calgary after almost a month at the Times Review. He leaves us with these parting thoughts, comparing life in Revelstoke and Cowtown.
Revelstoke turned out to be just what the doctor ordered for this old boy.
For the past four weeks, I have noticed a measurable and an overwhelmingly pos-itive change in my overall health which I can only attribute to living in this rad-ically different-from-Calgary environ-ment.
I have been breathing easier, sleeping easier and longer, my tension levels have dropped considerably, and my overall stress patterns have diminished.
At times, I have actually experienced light-headedness – like a euphoric state of mind.
It was almost as if those � rst few days here were part of some sort of adjustment period where my body was trying to � g-ure out where all this newfound oxygen was coming from.
And I’ll take Revy’s oxygen over Cal-gary’s sulphur dioxide any day.
As a result of all this, I have found it easier to stop and smell the roses more often with people.
So why is all this happening?
Let’s look at, and compare the air qual-ity between the two cities.
An environmental study of each city’s in CO2e form, was completed by that city’s corporate bodies and published online recently.
The Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) for Revelstoke in 2007 was a pal-try 62,824 tonnes, and Calgary’s num-ber for that same year was a whopping 16,127,000 tonnes.
So for someone like me who has had a heart attack and grew up with asthma, liv-ing in this environment couldn’t be bet-ter for me.
And if my cardiologist back home were to read this article, he’d be doing his own happy dance right now.
Now let’s take a look at the physical living environment here in Revelstoke.
People, in general, seem to be a little more relaxed, less high-strung, more con-versational and de� nitely more civil than in Cowtown.
I have had the pleasure of meeting many different people throughout my time here, and writing about them, for which I am truly grateful to the Times Review, for taking me on.
In Calgary, you’re nobody unless you’re a celebrity, a politician or hockey player.
It’s a very performance-driven econ-omy and state of mind and that type of environment inevitably creates a kind of obsessive-compulsive type of person.
A very irritating type of person, I might add.
And if you weren’t that way before, you will be soon after moving and living in Calgary for any substantial amount of time.
It all stems from the pressure of being the so-called richest city in Canada.
The drive to perform, to succeed, to produce, to prove something may have its
� nancial rewards in the short run, but in the long run it can devastate your health.
Is it worth it? In the long run, de� nitely not.
The people of any city make the city what it is, in its heart and soul.
I asked Revelstoke’s Dr. Robin Brooks-Hill for his medical analysis of why my own tension and stress levels might be lower here than at home he said that it’s the familiarity of people that creates a healthier environment.
“When you say ‘hi’ to someone down-town in a larger urban centre, they’ll prob-ably respond with ‘what do you want?” said Brooks-Hill.
“Say ‘hi’ to someone in downtown Revelstoke and they’ll either say ‘hi’ or ‘what can I do for you?’”
He’s totally right.In Revy, most folks are more likely to
be nicer to a stranger because they know that most everyone here is a bit more per-sonally connected that someone in Cal-gary – a more anonymous place to live.
In Calgary, if you meet someone new on the street, there’s a high degree of probability that you’re never going to see that person again.
Also, familiarity may be the single greatest reason why smaller towns are so appealing for so many people.
When you know someone you see when you walk downtown, that gives us that calm, that feeling that we’re not alone, and that encapsulating protection that removes the threat of danger.
As human beings, we are always on our guard when we are in places that we are not familiar with, it’s what protects us from possible danger.
When that threat has been removed, we can relax because we know we are safe from any real harm, and that, is what adds to our overall health and well-being.
Loving the livability of my sojourn in Revelstoke

Conveniently located across from the Village Green Centre and a short walk from Wal-Mart,
Future Shop and other fine stores in Vernon. The Revelstoke Caribou Rear-ing in the Wild project received $50,000 in funding from the Columbia Basin Trust’s Environ-mental Initiatives Program.
“The Revelstoke Caribou Rear-ing in the Wild Society thanks CBT for its support of commu-nity-based caribou recovery,” said Sarah Boyle, Vice-Chair of the RCRW Society. “These funds will help construct the maternity pen that will protect caribou and their calves at their most vulner-able time.”
The funding will help start-up costs for the maternity-penning project, which includes building fencing and housing 10 pregnant female caribou from the Colum-bia North herd.
The Environmental Initiatives Program provided more than $1 million in funding to 36 commu-nity initiated and supported proj-ects that support environmental conditions and education in the basin. Over the past 11 years, it has provided more than $5 mil-
lion in funding to different proj-ects for environmental conserva-tion, restoration, stewardship and education.
“These projects will have pos-itive effects on the Basin environ-ment through both direct action and education,” said Sabrina Cur-tis, CBT Director, Sector Initia-tives, “helping reduce the impacts
people have on our region’s aquatic and terrestrial ecosys-tems.”

BC Liberals MLA candi-date for Columbia River–Revel-stoke Doug Clovechok will not be participating in an all-can-didates’ radio forum co-hosted by StokeFM and the Revelstoke Times Review on Monday, April 22 at noon.
In an April 15 story, the Times
Review story said Clovechok would be attending. In fact, this was an error on our part. When we were inviting candidates to participate in late March, we mis-read an email from the Clove-chok camp. We thought it said he would be attending; in fact it said he wouldn’t. We regret the error.
Incumbent Columbia River–Revelstoke MLA Norm Mac-
donald (NDP) and BC Conser-vatives candidate Earl Olsen will be participating in the live forum, which will also be rebroadcast on StokeFM later.
The Times Review is gathering questions from community mem-bers for the candidates. Please call us at 250-837-4667 with your question idea.
BC Liberals candidate not attending MLA radio forumTimes Review staff
NDP leader Adrian Dix released his party’s forestry plat-form in Prince George Monday, including a pledge to double the number of trees planted on Crown land.
Dix also promised to increase spending on forest inventory research and establish a “jobs protection commissioner” to manage the reduction in timber supply that is expected across Interior areas depleted by beetle infestation.
The five-point plan promises action to reduce the export of logs from B.C., but as in the party’s 2009 election platform, the party offers no specifics. The NDP promises only to “work with stakeholders to reduce raw log exports and create more value-added forestry jobs.”
Dix said if the NDP form a government after the May 14 election, forest spending will increase by $30 million in the first year, with further increases up to $100 million beyond cur-
rent spending over five years.NDP critics have focused on
B.C. Liberal budget cuts to forest management, as the government merged natural resource opera-tions into a single ministry.
Forests Minister Steve Thom-son called the NDP announce-ment a “photo op” that provided little new about the NDP’s plans.
In January, Thomson announced a 20 per cent increase in the export fee for logs from southern Vancouver Island and
the adjacent south coast.NDP forest critic Norm Mac-
donald said at the time the increase was too small to make a difference as Asian buyers bid up the price of B.C. logs, but he offered no alternative.
Dix said the federal and pro-vincial governments have done a good job increasing lumber exports to China, and as premier he would continue the trade mis-sions and marketing efforts that have led to the growth.

a doer, I get things done and that’s what people are starting to realize.”
The third candidate is Earl Olsen, a semi-retired accountant, who will be running for the Conserva-tive Party. Olsen moved to Fairmont Hot Springs from Alberta, where he was a partner in a firm that owned large print-ing plants in Calgary and Edmonton. He serves as a volunteer firefighter in Fairmont and said this is his first time getting involved in politics.
As the clear underdog (Eric Grenier pegs his support at 13.5 per cent) He said he wants people to know that there is an alter-native to the two major parties. With a limited budget for advertising, he will also be going door-to-door to introduce himself to voters.
He said he will be pro-moting a policy of low taxes and fiscal responsi-bility to drive growth in the region and stop people from leaving the area.
“If we don’t do some-thing to grow the econ-omy and make it econom-ically vibrant, that’s the biggest challenge I think we have,” he said. “I think its tragic an area like ours struggles to keep young people in it and realisti-cally has limited futures.”
The Green Party has yet to announce a candidate.
Macdonald, who served as the NDP’s for-estry critic, was in Rev-elstoke on Sunday to offi-cially open the NDP cam-paign office on First Street West. On Monday he was in Prince George with NDP leader Adrian Dix to announce the party’s forestry policy. Mostly though, he plans on spend-ing the campaign going door-to-door throughout the riding drumming up votes.
“This is where you’re going to people,” he said. “You do come out of the process with a clear idea of what people really think.”
With eight years of opposition experience behind him, Macdonald said he’s enjoyed working with constituents, but “I welcome the opportunity to be in the heart of a new NDP government. I think that opens up a whole host of new opportunities for Revelstoke and for taking our issues forward.”

Delhi 2 Dublin back for Taste of India fundraiser
Delhi 2 Dublin is Tarun Nayar on tabla and electronics; Sara Fitzpatrick on fiddle, Sanjay Seran on vocals, Andrew Kim on electric sitar and guitar; and Ravi Binning on dhol. Sara Blonde photo
“We’re a collaboration that went wrong.” Tarun Nayar let out a laugh after telling me that
when I asked him about the origins of Delhi 2 Dub-lin.
The band emerged out of a performance at the Vancouver Celtic Festival in 2006 with himself, singer Sanjay Seran, other DJs and two fiddlers and a bunch of Celtic dancers. The event was dubbed Delhi 2 Dublin and out of it, the band was born – despite Nayar’s initial reservations.
“We basically just jammed,” said Nayar, who DJs and plays tabla. “We had a couple of pre-set things we were going to do. It sounded terrible I think, but somehow the audience got the vibe. People were really into it and we started to get booked after that and never really looked back.”
Since then, the band has released three albums, two remix albums and toured all over the world. They make regular appearances in Revelstoke and are scheduled to play here this Saturday, Apr. 20, at the Taste of India fundraiser at the community cen-tre (see below for more on the fundraiser).
The band is naturally described as a mix of Indian Banghra music and Celtic music. It makes use of Indian rhythms and fiddle playing, and combines it with dance floor beats and hip hop. Mostly though, they’re a dance beat.
“It’s always fun. It’s amazing how all you have to do is take a Celtic fiddle and put some Indian percussion over and everyone in the room will go (crazy) every single time with no exceptions. All we do is play on that,” said Nayar.
“A lot of the music we’re writing these days doesn’t have Celtic or Indian elements at all – it’s just dance music.”
A big part of Delhi 2 Dublin’s work is the remixes that get made of their songs. Both of their first two albums have been followed by a remix album and they will be following suit with remixes from their third album in the coming months – though this time it will be a little different. Instead of having each song remixed, the album will consist of remixes of two songs from their 2012 album Turn Up the Ste-reo.
The remixes will come from a contest they held on the website IndabaMusic.com, as well as some created by producer friends of the band.
“It’s a chance for us to have fun with these other producers and see what they would do with our songs,” said Nayar. “We enjoy it more than anyone. We enjoy hearing different takes on our songs.”
The remixes extend to the live show, where they’ll play several different versions of the same song dur-ing one performance of that song. “Our live set is always sort of evolving and full of different remixes and mashups and that sort of stuff,” said Nayar.
Up next for the band is another European tour this summer, followed by an Australian tour in the fall. They’ll also be releasing a limited edition live album that is targeted towards their biggest fans. They are setting up a series of games contests – both in real life and online – where one of the prizes will be a copy of the CD.
The album will give the band a chance to demon-strate their energetic live show on a recording. It’s something the band is known for, but hasn’t been able to capture in the studio yet, admitted Nayar.
“I’m just about to give up on that whole thing,” he said. “Until we get Rick Rubin to produce an album for us, which I hope happens sometime in this lift-eime, I don’t think it’s even possible. What we do live is how it all started and how it continues to be popular. I think we got a lot better at making CDs but I’m not sure they’ll capture what we’re doing live.”

small village of Sainji in 2009 by Kunwar and Lori Chauhan, who run the Garhwal Organization for Uplifting the Needy, a non profit organization dedicated to alleviat-ing poverty in the region.
The school was opened as a response to the poor education being delivered at the local gov-ernment schools. The focus is on
education, but the school also pro-vides warm meals to the students to improve their health. The school started with eight students and now has more than 200.
The Revelstoke Rotary Club began supporting the school through member Laura Stovel, who visited the school in May 2010.
“Here, you had a school where it’s their passion to provide the kids with quality education,” she said.
The rapid expansion of the school has made it more expensive to run. Recently, the Revelstoke Rotary Club donated $1,000 to sup-port the lunch program.
The Taste of India fundraiser will raise money so the school can buy text books.
“With this expansion and because it’s a free school, they’ve been working on how to make the school sustainable,” said Stovel.
The school has raised money by creating goat milk soap through a small local industry, and using the proceeds to cover the costs at the school. They have also started a vegetable garden at the school to help feed the children.
The fundraiser on April 20 will feature a buffet dinner prepared by Paramjit’s Kitchen, local Cuban, Indian and belly dancers, a 50/50 draw, dessert auction, cash bar and
the band Delhi 2 Dublin.Tickets are $35 and doors open
at 6 p.m. Minors are allowed until 9 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the community centre, Pharmasave, Universal Footwear, City Furniture and Paramjit’s.
“Those kids are so eager. It’s such a privilege to learn there,” said Stovel. “Even if we sent $1,000, we can accomplish a lot.”

The Revelstoke Ski Club U16 ski team won the Okanagan Zone title, and four skiers from the club have been invited to try out for Team BC, capping off a success-ful season for the team.
“Just 19 male and 19 female athletes from the entire province are selected, and this year four of them are from Revelstoke Ski Club,” said club president Rich-ard Smith. “Our club is hitting well above its weight on the pro-vincial scene, and we’re all very proud of our athletes who have trained so hard to get where they are.”
Revelstoke hosted the Okana-gan Zone championships for U12, U14 and U16 skiers last week-end. The lower section of the Hollywood trail was turned into a race course for two days of giant slalom and slalom races. The rac-ers from throughout the Okana-gan-Mainline area, were greeted with 20 centimetres of snow for the race, which was packed down and hardened to make for faster
race conditions.Emily Unterberger highlighted
the weekend for Revelstoke, win-ning both the U18 GS and slalom races. Her brother Dominic won the U18 slalom race.
Mitch Smith and Max Scharf also had strong performances, � n-ishing in second and third place respectively in the GS on Satur-day. Revelstoke’s other podium � nisher was Bryce Molder, who � nished third in the U16 slalom.
Both Unterberger’s, Smith and Scharf were invited to the Team BC selection camp in Whistler from April 17–21.
In the U12 boys, Joshua Jacoby from Sun Peaks won both the slalom and GS. In the U12 girls, Emily Whitecross from Sun Peaks won the GS and Noa Rog-ers the slalom.
In the U14 category, Brook Lukinuk from Big White won the girls GS, Whitecross won the girls slalom, and Zane Torres won both of the boys races.
In the U16, Matthew Kreutz from Vernon won both boys races, while Meg Cumming from Apex won both girls races.
Other highlights for Revel-stoke at the race were:
Colm Molder: 4th in the U12 boys GS
Aleks Klassen: 8th in the U12 boys slalom and 9th in the GS
Jenna Knight: 8th in the U12 girls GS
Linnea Allain: 8th in the U14 girls GS
Callum Hicks: 6th in the U16 boys GS
Sonia Schewnk: 7th in the U16 girls slalom and 9th in the GS.
“We had a wonderful weekend of racing at our local hill and it has been an amazing one,” said coach Milan Arsovski. “All the kids gave their best effort, all skied fast and all of them had lots of fun. It was a perfect way to end the season.
“Overall, I’m so happy to be part of this club. Its a great and unique family and I learned a lot from the kids, for which I wan to give so much more in the years to come for all future genera-tions. This weekend we de� nitely proved the Revelstoke Ski Club is really the Okanagan’s best and � nest.”

Aries, take time to sort through some of the paperwork on your desk. You could � nd there is something important that you overlooked that needs to be addressed.
There are a few things you can’t seem to work out in your head, Taurus. A better idea may be to put everything on paper and perhaps the answer will jump out.
Gemini, there will be a few moments this week when you seem to have a breakthrough. Maybe it’s in a relationship or you have just the right answers at work.
Surprising events are in store as you continue to change your views about life-altering events, Cancer. You may � nd your master plan is entirely turned on its head.
Leo, your energy level is so revved up that others won’t be able to keep up with you. You may have to slow down a little to let others catch up.
Virgo, others � nd it dif� cult to change your opinion once you have your mind set on something. But it still helps to consider if the direction you’re heading is the right way.
Libra, you may be feeling a little homesick, especially if you are away on business or on vacation. Try to make the most of the situation even if you’re feeling nostalgic.
Scorpio, if it seems like nothing is going your way, keep in mind there is a master plan in the works. You may not be able to see the resolution, but just be patient.
Sagittarius, there are a few puzzle pieces that you need to get into place and then you’ll have everything worked out. Reward yourself with a night out.
Capricorn, lay low for awhile rather than drumming up some trouble. Tempting as it is to stir the pot, it may cause more dif� culties for you in the long run.
Aquarius, although you have a few projects on your to-do list, you can’t seem to get started. Instead of looking at the entire list, tackle one task at a time and you’ll get the job get done.
Pisces, turn your thoughts to creative efforts and you’ll � nd the days will just � y by. Before you know it, the weekend will be here.

Your Dollar Store With More MoveS into revelStoke
The Your Dollar Store With More has expanded its into Revelstoke which has been a long time coming, says Jeff Simla, director of Sales and Marketing for the franchise.
“We’ve been wanting to go into the Revelstoke market for some time now,” he said. “We saw a gap in the industry that we could fill in Revel-stoke with our store.”
The Your Dollar Store took over the old Lordco location in the Alpine Village Mall.
“The traffic of the Alpine Village Mall centre is very good, especially
with the Cooper’s grocery store there which is why we specifically wanted that location.”
Simla also said that location was a consideration for their customers because they wanted to create “a one-stop shopping area within the mall.”
They opened their doors for busi-ness on Apr. 13, and their official grand opening is planned for a yet-to-be determined date later this month.
Simla said that The Your Dollar Store’s merchandise is composed of primarily discount items with, “every-thing from party supplies to the latest electronic gadgets priced at one-, two- and five-dollar price ranges.”
Another market that the Your Dol-lar Store wanted to cash in on was the weekend-get-away tourist crowds with product offerings such as dispos-able napkins, plates and cups.
“We believe there is a huge mar-ket for those who are going up to ski resort as well as the campgrounds and
many other get-aways there are in and around Revelstoke,” he said.
According to their website, The Your Dollar Store With More empire was originally founded in 1998 by Russ and Sherry Meszaros who wanted to, “to raise the bar in the dol-lar store industry by opening a dollar store that was less cluttered, well mer-chandised, brighter and cleaner.”
Today, their 100 per cent Canadian-owned corporate kingdom has 135 stores across Canada – in six prov-inces and one territory – with a home-base in Kelowna, B.C..
lakeSiDe Printing oPenS neW location in revelStoke
Dan Renaud will soon open a new printing shop called Lakeside Printing on First Street East after buying out
The Revelstoke Printing Company.Salmon Arm-based Lakeside Print-
ing, and he has been merging and acquiring for some time now.
“In today’s world, the easiest way to make your business grow and sur-vive is to buy the competition,” he said. “I’ve bought five printing-related companies over the past sev-eral years.”
Lakeside Printing has offices in Salmon Arm, Vernon and now Revel-stoke.
“It’s all about local. For our day-to-day service all you have to do is ser-vice the local people at a fair price and they’ll be loyal,” Renaud said. “In every city, we support local minor sports as soon as we get approached.”
As president of Lakeside Print-ing and manager of the Revelstoke location, this already busy man over-saw the move of his company into the Arlington building from the old Rev-elstoke Printing Company location on
First Street West.Renaud said visibility will be key.
“In the past, we’ve had two print shops built in the basement and as soon as we brought them up to a street-level setup, our volume basically doubled because people could actually see the store.”
His little print shop can produce a myriad of printed products, including business cards, leaflets, the TV Guide for all of B.C.’s Interior, as well as banners that can as wide as 31 metres.
“We can produce banners that could wrap a building,” boasts Ren-aud.
Renaud runs a family business. His wife Susan keeps the books for all the offices at Lakeside Printing. His daughter Janine operates the Salmon Arm office and his son Steve manages the Vernon office.
“It is really gratifying to see the whole family working for the busi-ness.”

lion more in expenditures, when the town never grows? It’s the same population we had last year ... we just keep spending.”
Coun. Gary Starling expressed mixed feeling, saying expenses were up, but the budget didn’t have a good balance between tax increases and expenditure cuts. “I’d like to see some movement departmentally,” he said.
Coun. Phil Welock noted pressure from all sides. “At almost every council meeting there’s a group lined up for funding,” he said.
Residents are facing cost of living increases other than city taxes, such as electrical and heat-ing gas rates. He said fire, police, supplies and materials costs were all up. “We’ve got 24 differ-ent committees and commissions,” he said. “Every committee meeting or commission I attend, those members ... are looking to spend taxpayer money.” Welock said community members needed to be educated about cutting back.
“I think we’ve done a good job,” Welock said. “I’m not happy with three-and-a-half per cent ... though I feel we need money in our reserves.”
Mayor David Raven said the budget process was getting longer and more complicated every year. He said the population of Revelstoke hasn’t increased, but the visitor population has increased “with up to over 5,000 people coming to recreate in any week over the winter.”
Raven said the city needed to build reserve funds to avoid borrowing. He said there remained uncer-tainty over property assessments. They have been volatile over the past years as values paralleled the real estate roller coaster that started when Revel-stoke Mountain Resort got underway.
He said Revelstoke shouldn’t be comparing its budget to other communities, but instead to other resort communities. “We’re being pushed into a higher level of service than we can afford,” he said. “It’s a question of how we break the cycle.”
DiD council heeD input?The Times Review asked Mayor Raven how
the comprehensive comments by the budget focus group and the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce had affected council budget deliberations. “They contained a number of similar themes, and in all cases they were considered,” Raven said. “Some of those recommendations are more appropriate in a longer-term strategy rather than budget-related. In some cases they are things that are outside of the budget process that we’ll have to pick up in the future. In both cases they were very concerned with spending.”
When asked for tangibles, Raven said many had come up during the process. He gave a new city plan to allow vacation rentals in some neighbour-hoods as an example of a recommendation from the chamber. He said the focus group’s recommen-dations were built in conjunction with staff.
What’s next?So, is it over? Not yet. City staff need to put the
budget into a bylaw form. For those in disagree-ment with the budget, there is still room for pub-lic protest, which means making an official written submission, or attending a meeting to express your view. The dates are yet to be set, but will be within the next few weeks.

Clockwise, from top: Skiers shred under the liftline, in costume.; Ryan Hill provides some trumpet bra-vado as about 100 people gather at the top of the Stoke Chair for the last run.; Seb Grondin rides until the final patch of snow, and a little bit more.; The final hardy group of skiers walks down to the gon-dola after running out of snow.; Mt. Begbie Brewery re-launched their Attila the Honey beer on the patio of the Rockford for closing weekend.
