Fast food and feast food, the slow food way
Food Editor Leslie Savage Feast food is one of the hallmarks of culture. The food you eat to celebrate great events — weddings, holidays, holy days — defines who you are as a family and as a culture. At Christmas and Thanksgiving, Canadians eat turkey. Easter often calls for a ham, our tribute to an agricultural past when springtime brought the...
Savagely delightful recipes: ham cooked in cider and oven-baked fries
Ham baked in cider is a bone-in, shank end half ham. This is an old recipe from the time when you had to cook a ham from scratch. The succulence of a ham cooked in cider then baked is unbeatable.

Grizzlies need YOUR help to go to the Provincial Championships
The Grizzlies are bound for the Provincial Championships next month... but only if they can come up with the $8,000 it will cost to get them there.

Grizzlies win the KIJHL Championship, move on to the provincials
By Steve Smith I’m not going to sugar coat it… our Revelstoke Grizzlies are freakin’ amazing. From the first time I met Coach Mick back on June 3, 2009 (We were volunteering at Tim Horton’s Camp Day), I knew this guy could bring the banner home! I’ve been trying to inform people all year how amazing this team is, imploring people to come out...
Thanks to RMR for its cheerful, friendly service
RMR deserves praise this year for a number of services, but there is one of particular note. The staff — which includes every echelon from the cafeteria crew to the ski patrol — have been specially cheerful and friendly. I don’t think I can remember one surly comment or sour face all year.
