Twelve-year-old killed in Trans-Canada crash at Rogers Pass ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Traffic is lined up at Rogers Pass Summit while RCMP investigate a fatal accident nearby

A 12-year-old boy is dead and four others are in hospital with serious injuries following a two vehicle crash in Rogers Pass Friday morning.

The crash occurred on Friday, Oct. 19, at around 10:15 a.m. when a truck collided head-on with a car about three kilometres east of the Rogers Pass Summit, Revelstoke RCMP said.

A family of four was travelling in the truck, which had Saskatchewan license plates, when they struck the car. The

boy, who was sitting in the back of the truck, died at the scene. One passenger was airlifted directly to Calgary Foothills Hospital, while the other two were taken to Revelstoke before being airlifted for additional treatment.

The driver of the car was airlifted to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.

Conditions on the road were slushy and it was snowing when RCMP arrived at the scene, said Sgt. Kim Hall of the Revelstoke RCMP. It was a straight section of road, she added.

When police arrived the

truck was half-way into the ditch and the car was spread across both lanes of the highway, she said.

Revelstoke Fire Rescue Services was attended the scene to extricate the victims from the vehicle.

The Trans-Canada Highway was covered in snow in the Rogers Pass area on Thursday night. More than 30 centimetres of snow were reported in some high-elevation areas.

The crash closed the TransCanada Highway in both directions four kilometres east of the Rogers Pass Summit. It re-opened at around 3 p.m.

RMR contests $460 fine, sues province for a quarter million, claiming authorities hurt resort’s business when they stepped in to deal with residential water contamination ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke Mountain Resort parent company Northland Properties is suing the Province of British Columbia for more than $250,000, claiming that actions by the Resort Development Branch delayed the opening of its new beginner area last year.

The lawsuit also alleges the province acted improperly in assigning a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) to oversee restoration work done after damage was done to Thomas Brook, which supplies water to a number of homes in the area.

“The Province’s actions directly resulted in a delay in completion of operation testing and finally the delay of the Tube Park and Beginner’s Area opening at the beginning of the season,” alleges the Statement of Claim filed by Northland. “The delay caused decreased employment opportunities provided by this development and a loss of public image to RMRLP (Revelstoke Mountain Resort Limited Partnership) and further profitability to RMRLP.” The lawsuit asks for at least $250,000 in damages, as well $16,517.20 in special damages, which is the amount RMR was billed for the services of a QEP hired by the province.

The lawsuit stems from an August 2011 incident

where a sub-contractor working for Hard Hammer Construction, the Northland subsidiary responsible for construction at the resort, disturbed Thomas Brook, causing sediment to enter the stream. The action caused nearby homes to go without clean water for a month, Work was stopped in the area and remedial actions taken. The Resort Development Branch (RDB) ordered RMR to hire a QEP to oversee the work. The claim states Northland hired Azimuth Consulting to do the work, but they were not able to start right away.

The RDB then hired Silvatech to start the work right away, but at a higher cost.

The claim states that the province’s unwillingness to wait three days meant the cost of hiring the QEP was not RMR’s responsibility.

It goes on to state the RDB contravened the Master Development Agreement by rejecting an application to test snow making over the payment issue.

The Conservation Office fined RMR $460 for two counts of violating the province’s Water Act. RMR is contesting those tickets and a hearing on the matter was adjourned on Thursday after a lawyer for the resort said a ruling on the tickets might cause prejudice in the civil suit. The matter has been referred to provincial court.

The allegations have yet to be proven in court and the province has yet to provide a response.

Neills Kristensen departs after five years heading up Friends ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Neills Kristensen has stepped down as executive director of the Friends of Mt. Revelstoke & Glacier after more than five years struggling to keep the organization afloat.

Kristensen told the Times Review last Wednesday he was resigning. The Friends announced the decision in a press release on Friday.

His last day of work is November 15, after which he will be moving to Vancouver.

“I have enjoyed my time in the area and making great friends in the community,” he wrote on Facebook. “I will miss you all.”

He thanked the Friends’ board of directors, Parks Canada and the community of Revelstoke. “My time in Revelstoke has been a

memorable one with many great experiences I will never forget,” he said.

Travis Hunt, the president of the Friends, credited Kristensen with his work on several big projects, such as the opening of the Balsam Lake bookstore in Mount Revelstoke National Park and the renovations this summer that saw the Friends add a deck to the store.

“Neills’ work and dedication to the organization has been a huge asset for us and the community of Revelstoke,” Hunt said. “Neills has worked hard developing many great events and activities for the community and visitors to enjoy ... During his five and half years Neills has overcome many challenges but as always kept a positive attitude.”

The Friends, which turned 25 this year, have been struggling in recent years and Kristensen had his hours reduced significantly earlier this year.

Recent years have been a mixture of struggles and successes. The Friends gift shop in Rogers Pass was closed down for two years due to renovations to the Rogers Pass Centre and a flood in the Parks Canada building in 2011

destroyed much of the organization’s inventory. The Friends has also had to dig itself out of a deep financial hole in recent years.

At the same time, the Friends opened the Balsam Lake bookstore in Mt. Revelstoke National Park, launched the Mountain Roots Film Festival, and helped co-ordinate other community events and activities. The Friends also moved into a new storefront and office on First Street East at the start of this year.

In a January interview with the Times Review, Kristensen likened the Friends 25th anniversary to a marriage – if you’ve made it that far, you’re probably going to survive. “The organization itself has become very strong.

We’re growing and the community is starting to figure out who the Friends are,” he said at the time. “I really hope the organization will grow with more volunteer opportunities and more opportunities for youth to get involved.”

Kristensen was a recent recipient of the Spirit of Revelstoke award for his volunteer work.

Bus fare increases proposed Times Review staff

The City of Revelstoke is proposing upping transit fares in Revelstoke from $1.50 per ride for adults to $2.

Earlier this year, the City of Revelstoke asked BC Transit to review bus fares in the city.

The current fare structure has remained the same since 1998, says the new report from BC Transit. The report said fees in Revelstoke are “well below” the average for similar communities in B.C. The system brought in $28,368 from fares in the 2010/11 fiscal year, which added up to 10.1 per cent of cost recovery.

Adults now pay $1.50 at the door.

The city is proposing upping this to $2. A book of 10 tickets will increase

from $14.25 to $18. Monthly passes will stay the same at $45.

Seniors and youth up to Grade 12 pay $1.25 at the door. The proposed increase is to $1.75. A book of 10 tickets will jump from $12 to $15.75.

Monthly passes will stay the same at $37.50.

Once the system is in place, the city hopes to increase revenues from fares by 6 per cent.

The report notes the transit system is heavily subsidized.

New busses arrived in Revelstoke last week and the new bus route system is set to commence on Dec. 10.

City council was scheduled to discuss the report at their Oct. 23 meeting.

Craig Brown hired as new head of Community Connections ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Craig T. Brown, the new executive director of Community Connections, has a resume that’s eight pages long. It goes back to 1980 and includes variety of upper-management positions across Canada, in the Carribean and the Middle East.

He has an MBA from McMaster University and worked for the Hospital of Sick Children in Toronto, the Nova Scotia Hospital in Dartmouth, ran the Cayman Islands health authority and helped the University of Calgary set up a campus in Doha, Qatar, amongst other jobs.

So, what is he doing in Revelstoke? “This is my last move at this point in my career,� he said in an interview at Community Connections last week. “What I liked about Community Connections is in many ways it mirrors my philosophy. This organization is a conglomeration of many programs all under one roof.

That is the most effective and efficient way to deliver those kinds of programs.�

Brown started in his new post at the start of the month. He replaced Gayle Morgan, who stepped down earlier this year for personal reasons.

Brown’s office was still rather

sparse when I visited him. His photos had yet to show up. He’d spent his first two weeks on the job reading manuals, learning about the various programs offered by Community Connections and meeting with the staff. “I’m still learning in terms of the scope because we’re in a lot of programs, a lot of areas,� he said.

Brown comes to Revelstoke having worked in management roles across Canada, starting in Ontario, then Nova Scotia, followed by the move to Alberta – with a year in the Cayman Islands and two years in Qatar for good measure. He’s worked for hospitals, universities, health authorities and government social service agencies. “I think I’m able to bring to the organization that varied experience in different cultures, different structures, different organizations,� he said.

He sees his role at Community Connections as helping the various managers and employees do their job the best they can. “I’ve always seen my role in any organization is more to serve as catalyst for the organization,� he said.

While he’s still learning about the various services Community Connections provides, one goal he did mention is to move away from the ad hoc funding the organization currently receives to more consistent funding. “I think we need

to push with all of our funders to get more permanent-type funding, more leveled funding, instead of the variability that takes place.�

When he’s not working, Brown said he enjoys doing home renovations, wood working and cooking.

Snowload limits changed for Revelstoke ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The City of Revelstoke is hosting an information session to discuss the impact of new snow load requirements on buildings in Revelstoke.

Environment Canada recently increased the Revelstoke ground snow load to 7.2 kPa from 5.8 kPa. Revelstoke council gave first reading last week to an amendment of the building bylaw that would reflect the new load

requirements.

The city planning and building department is holding an information session at the community centre on Wednesday, Oct. 24, from 7-9 p.m.

The session will feature a talk by professional engineer Tim Dunne of Omega Engineering on the impact of the increase on roof components, building lateral stability, wall construction technique, and valley beams and valley rafter connections.

The bylaw amendment pro-

posed by staff also calls for a structural engineer to inspect all buildings, unless deemed unnecessary by the building inspector.

Councillor Tony Scarcella questioned the need for the extra opinion, saying it would raise costs.

Counc. Chris Johnston cited similar concerns.

City building inspector Marty Herbert said the increases were the result of increased moisture content in the snow.

Capsule Comments With David Lafreniere The Canadian Cancer Society reported a 21% drop in cancer deaths in men between the years of 1988 and 2007. For women, the drop was only 9% mainly due to the fact that women took longer to cut back on smoking than men.

The classic symbol of the prescription is the Rx sign. It is from the Latin verb recipere meaning “to take�. The symbol is often found on doctors’

prescription pads implying the patient to take this medicine.

The good nutrition that pregnancy requires should continue during breastfeeding as well.

In fact, eating a bit more (400-500 more calories per day) is indicated. There is no special diet for breastfeeding moms but it should include whole grains, fruits and vegetables and enough

water each daily to keep hydrated. If the urine is too dark, drink more water.

The number of totally new drugs in the research “pipeline� is increasing. These are new molecular entities, not “me too� type variations of medications already on the market. There is a trend to looking for medicines for rarer, under-treated diseases

One of our goals as your pharmacist is to keep current on all the new drugs that are coming on the market.

B.C. tourism sector projected to add 44,220 jobs by 2020 For some, a dream job would be a vacation planner – for themselves! Vacationing in B.C. can take so many forms that it would indeed be a full-time job.

The tourism and hospitality industry is an extremely diverse industry with over 400 different occupations – including occupations that lead to longer-term careers, as well as those that fit well for those seeking parttime work, like students or older workers who are not yet ready to retire.

British Columbia’s tourism industry will be a leader in provincial job growth as businesses look to fill 101,000 new job openings by 2020, according to a study of labour demand and supply by go2, the BC tourism industry’s human resource association.

The Tourism Labour Market Strategy, released in the spring of 2012 by go2, sets out the plan to recruit, retain and train the workers needed to keep pace with the growth projected for the industry. Nearly half of the 101,000 openings will be new jobs created by the tourism industry across the province, adding 44,220 more jobs to the provincial workforce by 2020.

The other approximately 57,000 openings are due to replacements (i.e. retirements).

Lana Denoni, Chair, TIABC

“The labour strategy co-ordinated by go2 is a key pillar of industry growth in the province.

Without it, we simply wouldn’t have the skilled workers in place to deliver the visitor experience throughout BC,” says Lana Denoni, Chair of TIABC, the Tourism Industry Association of British Columbia.

British Columbia’s location, bordered by the Rocky Moun-

tains on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west, makes it unique within Canada. Its mountain and coastal scenery, opportunities for summer sailing, winter skiing, and other activities such as fishing or sightseeing in coastal or inland waters or experiencing our vibrant cities all make us a world-class destination.

Tourism helps to diversify our economy and also brings new community services to perma-

nent residents.

BC’s tourism and hospitality industry is now the single largest “primary resource industry” in the province, generating an annual real GDP ($2002) of more than $6.4 billion in 2010, ahead of forestry, mining, oil and gas extraction, and agriculture.

Tourism and hospitality generated $13.4 billion in annual revenue in 2010. Overall, between 2004 and 2010, industry revenues grew by a total of 25.5 per cent, representing an average annual growth rate of 4.2 per cent.

The provincial government’s Gaining the Edge: A Five-year Strategy for Tourism in British Columbia targets revenue growth of five per cent a year that will top $18 billion in tourism spending by 2016.

The fastest growing sectors for tourism job growth over the next decade are expected to be recreation and entertainment and travel services.

There are an estimated 17,943 tourism-related businesses across the province, employing about 260,000 workers, or 10.8 per cent of B.C.’s total labour force of 2.4 million people.

More than 80 per cent of tourism’s new job openings are projected to come in Food

and Beverage Services (43,410 openings), Recreation and Entertainment (20,530 openings) and the Accommodation sector (18,920 openings).

“After several years of slow labour growth, the tourism industry is poised to expand,” said Arlene Keis, Chief Executive Officer of go2. “Labour shortages are already being felt in places like Northern B.C., the Thompson Okanagan and in the Rockies regions. By 2016, the crunch will be more acute throughout the province.”

“The tourism industry often provides people with their important first job and sets them on their career path,” said Keis.

“Tourism is also the largest employer of youth, with one in four British Columbians under the age of 24 working in the industry.”

“This anticipated growth in tourism reinforces the need to plan carefully and ensure that there are enough workers with the right skills in the right communities to meet the tourism industry’s future labour needs,” said Keis.

MP David Wilks’ kidnapping bill Premier offers olive passes House of Commons vote branch to teachers ALEX COOPER

TOM FLETCHER

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

David Wilks’ private member’s bill legislating a mandatory minimum sentence for kidnapping a child passed third reading in the House of Commons last Wednesday and is now one-step closer to coming into law.

Bill C-299 imposes a mandatory minimum sentence of five years on anyone who kidnaps a child under the age of 16, unless that person is the parent, guardian or has legal care of the child.

“This bill goes beyond amending the Criminal Code to impose a mandatory minimum sentence,” said Wilks in a statement. “It goes to the heart of every parent who has young children. It recognizes that the most vulnerable, a child must be protected at all cost.”

The bill was introduced by Wilks, the MP for KootenayColumbia, following the kidnapping of three-year-old Kienan Hebert from his Sparwood home last September.

Hebert was returned home safe and without injury several days later. His kidnapper, Randall Hopley, was arrested and pleaded guilty to the abduction. He is undergoing a 60-day assessment to determine if he is a dangerous of long-term offender prior to sentencing.

Wilks’ bill was criticized by

the opposition parties, who questioned the need for mandatory minimum sentences.

At a meeting of the Justice Committee on May 15, 2012, retired Supreme Court Justice John Major said a mandatory minimum sentence could be considered unconstitutional. He also said that sentences for kidnapping were already very harsh so that a mandatory minimum was likely not a deterrent, but that judges

should be able to retain their discretion in handing out sentences.

Bill C-299 passed in the House with support of the Conservative Party. The opposition NDP, Liberals and Bloc Quebecois all voted against it.

It now goes to the Senate for debate and will likely pass there as the Conservative Party controls the upper house. Following that, it would receive royal assent.

Premier Christy Clark announced a review of teacher bargaining Wednesday, with a goal of reaching a 10-year agreement that would put an end to decades of battles with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.

Clark and Education Minister Don McRae acknowledged at a Vancouver news conference that changing the culture of confrontation between the B.C. government and teachers won’t be easy, and vowed to put even the most contentious issues on the table for discussion. That includes class size and special needs support, key issues in contract disputes and court actions in recent years.

“Our first goal is long-term labour stability with teachers in British Columbia,” Clark said. “Our second goal is to improve how government interacts and works with the BCTF. These two goals will require compromise on all sides of the table, including ours.”

BCTF president Susan Lambert said she welcomes the review of the bargaining structure, but is skeptical about the latest promise of meaningful consultation.

“It seems to me that talk of a 10-year contract is putting the cart before the horse,” Lambert said.

“There seem to be conclusions drawn that would be properly a

product of the bargaining table and not a product of a discussion on the bargaining structure.”

The offer comes as the BCTF continued a court challenge to a two-year wage freeze that extends until June 2013. After a year of fruitless negotiations and work-torule by teachers, the union membership endorsed the two-year contract extension reached in June with government-imposed mediator Charles Jago.

McRae said the review will take advantage of work currently being done by a task force of school trustees, and two previous reviews completed by independent mediators.

In his 2007 report, mediator Vince Ready said the union and the province’s bargaining agent, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, need a system for agreeing on the financial costs of various proposals before they can hope to settle contracts.

McRae said he has talked with Lambert about the proposal, and he wants to have consultations with teachers, trustees, parent advisory councils and administrators complete by the end of November.

“If there are policy changes or legislative amendments that we need to make, we want to get this work done before bargaining resumes next spring,” McRae said.

It can easily happen. It is no reflection of your family’s hygiene. The spread of lice occurs quickly. Transmission is usually via person to person contact or sharing of hats, hairbrushes, pillows, bedding or close head-to-head contact as when children are playing together.

So how do you know if you or someone has lice?

Head itching is the major symptom. Some people will even develop some red bumps on the scalp. Head lice are quite small – about the size of a sesame seed.

Young lice, or nymphs, are clear but turn reddish brown as they feed on blood. The eggs, called nits, are oval yellowish and are attached to the hair shaft.

Through the gas tax, the BC government has funded many communities in recent years to complete Integrated Community Sustainability Plans (ICSPs). ICSPs encourage communities to take a fresh, long-term look at their future and focus on finding ways to become more sustainable.

The name itself is a mouthful – here’s an explanation: Integrated – Community members and the City have crafted many plans in recent years. The ICSP will create an ‘umbrella’ that integrates and links these plans for efficient action on community priorities.

Community – Most of the plans the City initiates provide direction mainly to City operations. The ICSP is a community plan – not a City plan. This is another opportunity for Revelstoke to come together to solve problems and pursue its goals.

Sustainability – Sustainability has long been a foundation for life in Revelstoke.

Crafted in 1994, Revelstoke’s Community Vision Statement begins with ‘Revelstoke will be a leader in achieving a sustainable community by balancing environmental, social and economic values within a local, regional and global context.’ This ICSP will provide a sustainability framework for prioritizing actions to meet our

current needs while ensuring that the needs of future generations are also met.

Plan – While this is a plan on paper, the ICSP Steering Committee and project team are committed to ensuring this plan leads to community-wide actions to address priorities by community organizations, the City, businesses and individuals. It is a chance to focus, integrate, and strengthen activities community-wide, and galvanize implementation.

Revelstoke has already made substantial progress towards sustainability. In addition to our 1994 Community Vision, the Community Development Action Plans (CDAPs) in 2001 and 2006 and our Official Community Plan are all based on the commitment of the community to integrate environmental, social and economic values to secure our long-term well-being.

As well, community organizations continue to work together on important initiatives such as environmental education, early childhood development, literacy, youth opportunities and multiculturalism, which support long-term community sustainability.

So how will this plan make a difference to life in Revelstoke? Looking back at how the 2006 Community Development Action Plan made a difference provides some examples. In that plan, the highest priority identified by residents was building the aquatic centre – which has been done. The 2006 plan included several pages of economic development actions such as continuing business supports, extending Grizzly Plaza and expanding the trail network – these have now all been completed. It also recommended that the City create social development and environment committees, similar to the long-standing economic development commissions, with coordina-

tors to expedite completion of the actions in the plan, and that has been done.

A community-based steering committee appointed by the City is guiding the creation of Revelstoke’s ICSP. The project team responsible for the project work includes consultants from within and outside the community with expertise in social, economic, environmental and community planning and action – reflecting the scope of the ICSP. The recent community survey is one of the first steps in creating this ICSP. This survey will provide the team with information about residents’ well-being, desires for the future and priorities for improving community life.

As in past CDAPs, community-wide actions will be prioritized based on the survey results, current data about the community and community dialogue. In addition, the ICSP will also use a long-term lens of possible futures for Revelstoke to set priorities. The project calendar below highlights the community dialogue sessions. Mark your calendar for the Sustainability Fair on November 27 at the Community Centre.

New Youth Employer Award has real substance

COMMUNITY COMMENT

BY MIKE BROWN Earlier this month, the Chamber of Commerce made the decision to create a new category for the Revelstoke Business Excellence Awards Gala. The new Youth Employer Award, first conceived of in the 2011 Revelstoke Youth Action Plan and championed by the Youth Initiative Committee, will acknowledge a local business or organization for excellence in hiring, mentoring and creating work experiences for young people in Revelstoke. In an economic climate in which youth (federally defined as those 15 to 30 years of age) are excluded from the workforce at nearly double the rate of the average worker, this award represents a meaningful acknowl-

edgement by the business community that providing opportunities for youth is both a social imperative and a community good.

How does employing youth constitute a social imperative? As noted in the 2011 Youth Action Plan, young people complete a successful psychological transition to adulthood when they have been provided with adequate opportunities to achieve independence, mastery, belonging and generosity.

Work environments frequently provide opportunities for young workers to learn new soft and hard skills, gain a degree of financial freedom, belong to a productive group, and provide a service to the community.

Wages paid to young workers are also more likely to be invested in further education, a scenario in which the community is essentially betting on itself. A highly skilled local workforce will attract a certain quality of investment, and the purchasing power of skilled workers will be returned to the community through the increased consumption of local goods and services.

Recent research has also sug-

gested a link between entrepreneurship and an individual’s history of working in small enterprise. Writing in Business Strategy Review, Maria Minetti notes that the opportunity to observe entrepreneurial activity is an important factor in ones decision to become an entrepreneur.

Other research suggests that as many as 60 per cent of small business owners or founders worked in businesses with less than 50 employees immediately before starting their own enterprise.

As community members we certainly aren’t required to be up on the latest academic research to understand the importance of role models in young people’s lives. Every small business creates new economic activity and opportunity in a community, and young people who observe entrepreneurial role models are more likely to become enterprising themselves.

Unfortunately for young workers, seasonal fluctuation in local economic activity can often lead to work shortages, layoffs or dismissals that are out of the control of the individual. As youth are frequently the last workers to be hired onto a

job, they are often the first to be let go in lean times.

Clearly, while youth bring many positive attributes to the workplace, their lack of experience can make them vulnerable when the businesses they work for become financially strained. To provide incentive and feasibility for businesses to maintain younger workers in the workplace on a more stable basis, some great incentives are now available to employers that meet the appropriate criteria. Examples include the Columbia Basin Trust School Works program, the Get Youth Working program funded through the Canada-B.C. Labour Market Agreement, and Service Canada employment training programs delivered locally through Okanagan College.

The Revelstoke Community Development Action Plan outlines myriad goals for maintaining the community as a place of vibrant family life and opportunity for future generations. However, without engaged citizens who have the resources to take an active interest in civic life and defend the values that the document sets forth, this vision will simply not survive.

Promoting meaningful youth employment as a business practice to be honored is a good first step in creating an atmosphere in which young people are exposed to exciting local economic opportunities.

This can only improve the odds of youth choosing to put down more permanent roots in Revelstoke.

The Youth Employer Award is a great example of productive partnership and collaboration between the community social planning and local business sectors. While on the surface this award appears a small addition to the annual Chamber of Commerce event, it speaks volumes to the interest local stakeholders have taken in ensuring Revelstoke achieves its vision as a place of equal opportunity for all. Okanagan College and the Youth Initiative Committee look forward to creating future partnerships with local businesses and organizations to ensure Revelstoke continues to be a great place for young people to thrive. *** Mike Brown is a part-time Youth Skills Liaison at Okanagan College, Revelstoke.

This is the second of an eight-part series of excerpts from First Tracks: A History of Skiing in Revelstoke, the latest book from the Revelstoke Museum & Archives.

Norway is credited with the invention of skiing, so it is not surprising that the first skiers in Revelstoke were from there.

The first account of a skier in Revelstoke was in 1891 when

Ole Sandberg showed up in town on what were dubbed by the newspaper as ‘Norwegian Snowshoes.’ Norwegians would lead the way in promoting skiing in Revelstoke The following is about the matriarch of one of Revelstoke’s most prominent early skiing families – Anna Gunnarsen.

Norway was not only the source of Revelstoke’s first skis, it was the homeland of two inter-related families, the

Gunnarsens and the Nilsens (Nelsens), who followed relatives to Revelstoke in 1913.

These families’ vision and passion for skiing not only popularized the sport in Revelstoke, but drew international attention to skiing in the town.

Jorgen and Anna (Johanna) Gunnarsen moved to Revelstoke from Norway with three sons (and had a fourth in Canada). Jorgen was a machinist, cabinet maker

and avid cross-country racer who made skis for local children. Anna became Revelstoke’s skiing matriarch, winning many local and regional races, including the women’s cross-country ski race at the first annual Winter Carnival in 1915.

Anna, who continued racing until she was 48, would start as much as a city block back simply to get other contestants to enter the race. She once started behind 17-yearold boys and passed them.

Ken Granstrom remembered that Anna Gunnarsen was very kind. “She would bend over backward to help people, especially the downand-outs. She would do everything to see that they had something to eat. We didn’t have welfare or anything else but she was one special lady.”

She was also kind to Ken: “In 1938, I was only seven years old and I was in the ski jumping line-up and I jumped.

The prizes were given later that day at the Civic Centre. I knew I wasn’t going to win a prize but I thought I’d go and see who’d win. Mrs. Gunnarsen called me up and presented me with a blue shirt.

She said she knew I wasn’t going to win a prize but I needed something.”

Anna’s son Hans would become one of the best ski jumpers in Revelstoke. Her other sons, Gunnar, Carl and Emil also competed in jumping and cross-country races.

Hans was killed in action during the Second World War. In 1946, the Big Bend Ski Jump, near where Jacobson Ford now is, was renamed the Hans Gunnarsen Jump. Anna cut the tape at the jump’s ceremonial opening. *** First Tracks, the History of Skiing in Revelstoke, is due out in early December. Pre-orders can be made at the Revelstoke Museum & Archives or by calling 250-837-3067.

The book is $40 inc. HST if ordered before Dec. 1, and $45 inc. HST afterwards.

Columbia Park students start We Scare Hunger campaign ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Several students at Columbia Park Elementary have launched a new campaign to raise donations for the food bank.

Dubbed ‘We Scare Hunger’, students from the school will be going door-todoor on Halloween collecting goods for the food bank.

“Instead of trick or treating for candy, we’ll trick or treat for canned goods,” said grade seven student Lily Michaels.

The idea came when a group of stu-

CO M M UN ITY dents learned about the We Scare Hunger campaign from Free the Children, an international organization dedicated to helping children worldwide. “On Freethechildren.com we found out even people in our community don’t have enough to eat and they need help from the food bank,” said Michaels. “We wanted to make sure this halloween everyone gets enough to eat.”

She said that so far several students

have committed to take part and they will be going to all the other classrooms to get more people involved.

On Halloween they will go door-todoor with two bags – one for candy and the other for donations. They will have information cards with them explaining what they’re doing.

“After Halloween, we’re going to ask everyone to bring the food that they’ve collected to school and then we will donate it to the local food bank,” said Michaels.

Canadian folk storyteller James Keelaghan comes to Revelstoke ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

For 25 years, James Keelaghan has been performing and touring his Canadian brand of folk music.

He’s released nine solo albums and two others with Oscar Lopez as the Compadres. He’s been dubbed Canada’s finest songwriter and a national treasure.

After all this time, Keelaghan says he’s feeling calmer and more relaxed. And he no longer feels the pressure to keep up with his past output of an album every two years.

“When I write I really want to write from a place of wanting to write rather than having to write,” he told me. “Rather than saying it’s time for another album and starting to write.

“I could put something together and it would sound nice and mediocre and we could have that by six months from now. Or I could just really take my time and it could be out when I have a bunch of really killer stuff.”

I reached Keelaghan by phone when he was at the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals conference in Mississauga, Ont. The conference is a chance for all the folk festivals in the province to come together, share ideas, talk about what their doing and learn about up-and-coming performers. There, Keelaghan was wearing two hats – one as a performer and the other as artistic director of Summer Folk in Owen Sound.

With 25 years in his resume, Keelaghan is a known commodity in the folk music world but with his new role of artistic director, he’s been listening to lots of new music.

“When I go to a folk festival I’m looking forward to the thing that I don’t know. I’m really looking to be surprised,” he said. “The challenge in your personal career is to really have that happen as well. You want to find delight and discovery in the things you write or the people that you play with or the concert tours you’re doing or the city’s you’re going to tour.

There has to be some sense of delight or it’s not worth doing.”

Keelaghan is a storyteller by nature with a passion for history.

“I like telling stories of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances,” he said.

He brought up one his songs, Cold Missouri Waters, about a fire crew chief who jumped on a fire in Montana in 1949 and had to invent a new firefighting technique to save him and his crew.

He then mentioned another song, Curious Piano, about a Japanese immigrant who knows she’s about to be sent to an internment camp, so rather than have all her stuff repossessed, she pushes her piano into the water so no one else can have it.

“A story like that begs to be written,” he said. “It tells something about the human condition and that’s what I like to write about.”

Keelaghan’s love of history led to him record the Great Canadian

Taser changes working, judge tells MLAs TOM FLETCHER Black Press

VICTORIA – Retired judge Thomas Braidwood is “very pleased with the response” to his recommendations on the use of Taser stun guns by police in the wake of Robert Dziekanski’s death in 2007.

Braidwood testified Tuesday before a legislature committee, after a senior RCMP official reported on training and procedure changes that led to an 87

per cent reduction in use of Tasers to subdue people.

Braidwood emphasized that he stands by the core finding of his inquiry, which is that police in B.C. should continue to use them with new training and strict new rules. Those province-wide rules include requiring police to determine that the subject is causing bodily harm or is about to, and mandate that “de-escalation” or crisis intervention techniques be taught and used before a Taser is.

He described a basic technique that could have been used when four Richmond RCMP officers approached a distraught Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport. If one of those officers had simply pulled up a chair and sat down, Braidwood said, Dziekanski would likely be alive today.

Similar techniques can defuse even violent domestic disputes, rightly considered by police to be their most dangerous calls, said Braidwood, a former prosecutor who went on to serve as a B.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeal justice.

The Taser rules also require police to have an automated defibrillator in the car, or in a supervisor’s vehicle in communities of 5,000 people or less.

Independent testing of the stun guns is also required, and the rules apply to all municipal police in B.C. as well.

On Monday, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Randy Beck told the committee that new training began in 2011. By then the fallout from the Dziekanski case had led to a steep decrease in use of Tasers.

has not been a corresponding increase in police use of guns.

“Have more police officers been injured while restraining violent subjects, or have officers discovered that other tools in their arsenal, such as training in crisis intervention techniques, have resolved many of these potentially dangerous confrontations without resorting to use of conducted energy weapons?” he asked.

“It would appear to be a fruitful area for more research.”

Braidwood’s inquiry led not only to new Taser procedures, but also the establishment of B.C.’s new Independent Investigations Office, the civilian-led agency that began work this summer to take control of all policeinvolved incidents that result in death or serious bodily harm.

Braidwood said the steps taken since his inquiry have filled a gap in the civilian oversight of police that is “a fundamental tenet that distinguishes Canada from totalitarian or dictatorial states.”

Railway Trilogy for a Gordon Lightfood tribute album several years ago.

This being Revelstoke, I asked him the story about recording that song. He chose that song without hesitation.

“I hadn’t played it since I was 20 years old but I picked up my guitar and sang it from end to end and I went, ‘That is a great song,’” he said. “It is so well built and it so well crafted and it is so iconic that having not played it in 20 years I could pick up a guitar and play it.”

And, yes, he will be playing it on this tour.

Keelaghan’s new focus is on writing music primarily geared towards singing. He says he wants to step away from playing guitar and just sing in front of a band. That poses new challenges for his songwriting, he said.

Instead of just writing for the guitar, he has to figure out what instruments will work.

“I’ve never just gone out in front of a band and sung,” he said. “I’m always part of the rhythm section. That for me is a pretty huge departure.”

In Revelstoke, Keelaghan will be accompanied by the musicians Hugh McMillan and David Woodhead, who he called “two of the best players on the face of the planet.”

He will be playing guitar, but on some songs he will just sing.

“I think you can expect a really high energy show with lots of story telling,” he said. “Two of the best players on the face of the planet, great harmony singing, great instrumentals, great vocals. I think it’s going to be a really good time.”

James Keelaghan is playing at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre as part of the Revelstoke Arts Council’s concert series on Tuesday, Oct. 30, at 7:30 p.m. The Maritime Kitchen Party is opening. Tickets are $15.

Health & Wellness Fair highlights public, private services

Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

You can take cell phone calls on hearing hearing aids now, and you can do yoga on a horse in Revelstoke – two notable things I learned at the Sunday fair.

AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Oct. 21 Revelstoke Health and Wellness Fair at the Revelstoke Community Centre showcased a mix of public and private services in the Revelstoke area. I stopped by for a couple hours and spoke with a several health service providers who shared what they do. Here’s what I learned from four of them:

THEY HAVE BLUETOOTH ON HEARING AIDS NOW Do you have trouble hearing in noisy places? I could have sworn I did whilst chatting with Keara Farrell of the Canadian Hearing Centre, but then again it was quite noisy at the Health & Wellness Fair on Sunday. According to a checklist they provided, having trouble catching the drift in a noisy place is one of only two strikes needed to send you to audiologist for testing. “There’s more than one type of hearing loss,” Farrell explained, saying it’s a good idea to get a baseline test so doctors can better diagnose and treat the issues if your hearing deteriorates. Farrell said depending on the issue, there are lots of modern breakthroughs that can help you deal with the issues.

It could be cleaning out wax (literally) or minor surgery. Of course the technological solutions have improved in leaps and bounds. Hearing aids are tiny these days, and they’ve been integrated with other technologies. Farrell showed me a model that uses Bluetooth that allows it to link directly into your cell phone or TV. Unfortunately, tests aren’t covered by basic provincial medical, but many private insurers do cover them. Basic testing starts at $40. The Canadian Hearing Centre Revelstoke Clinic is located at 305 First Street West.

YOU CAN DO YOGA ON A HORSE Registered Yoga Teacher, Massage Teacher and Certified Equine Sport Therapist Brittanya Beddington called me a few months ago to drum up a story about her new yoga classes and equine services. I turned her down, citing a lack of a ‘news hook’ – like a big new retail yoga studio or something like that.

There are lots of yoga teachers in town, I said. Well, I found my news hook when I met up with her at her Dynamic Massage Works booth at the fair – yoga on

a horse! Why didn’t you say so? Yup, you do yoga with the horse, starting with posing beside the horse, such as doing handstands against it. Then you climb on top and work on simple poses, like laying on your back on the horse. Beddington says the feel of your spine against the horse’s rhythmically heaving ribcage is transfixing. Staring off into the sky is transformative. “It gives you immediate release,” she said.

“It’s about deepening that connection with nature.”

Does the horse do yoga too? Sort of. Beddington is known in the local horse community for her horse sports therapy. How do you get a horse to stretch?

Scratching its belly the right way can cause it to contract and stretch its spine. Tempt a horse with a carrot and move it around the right way to make it stretch its neck in various directions.

Beddington encourages yoga aficionados to come try horse yoga with her Polish Arabian horse Shamsu.

The emphasis on yoga on a horse is mine; Beddington also offers massage services, private yoga services in her Big Eddy studio as well as aromatherapy sessions. She’s starting a new yoga boot camp at the Revelstoke Community Centre in early November. The six-week course will focus on stretching, yoga and flow yoga with weights.

SERVICE HELPS VICTIMS OF CRIME AND TRAUMA Revelstoke Police-based Victim Services Program Manager Luana Kaleikini was coming off a busy and tragic weekend, including assisting with next-of-kin notifications following a fatal MVI on the Trans-Canada Highway on Friday. It’s one of many victim services herself and her volunteer team provide in the community. The services are provided to victims of crime and trauma. They include emotional support for victims, witnesses and family members affected by crime. Kaleikini helps victims negotiate the often technical and counterintuitive court system. She provides referrals to legal advice and counselling, financial assistance and other victim services. “It’s such an intimidating process,” Kaleikini said of the courts. She can help with things like understanding schedules and appearances and preparing victim impact statements.

Other times, it’s just the basics. Kaleikini is a familiar

site at the scene of traumas, such as the recent apartment fire on Victoria Road that left 12 people without a home. She starts with the basics – clothing and shelter for the night, then helps the victims access other support services, even finding a new place to stay.

NEW HOME CARE BUSINESS SUPPORTS SENIORS, FAMILIES Spectrum Home & Family Care has recently expanded from its Nakusp base into Revelstoke to provide a range

of home services. They can do the housework for seniors or help new parents by keeping the home clean. Revelstoke team leader Hrvojka Mordus Bailey said the programs compliment other home services provided through Interior Health or Community Connections by serving “the people who don’t fit into those programs.” Their services extend outside, including snow shovelling, yard work, spring cleaning – even splitting the wood. Companionship, personal care service and life skills training are also provided. For more, see spectrumhomesupport.ca.

For a few hours last Saturday the Community Centre was alive with the spirit of volunteerism. 26 organizations hosted colorful displays in an attempt to recruit new volunteers. The sweet sound of jazz permeated the hall courtesy of the Fourth Street Jazz Project. There were snacks and activities for kids.

And over 100 potential volunteers ambled in, looking for a way they could contribute.

Preliminary feedback indicates that many of the community groups were successful in recruiting new volunteers. As well, most organizations thought it was a great opportunity to talk to people personally about what they were all about.

A highlight of the day was honouring the first Spirit of Revelstoke award recipients. This award recognizes citizens who have made outstanding volunteer contributions to our community. Mayor David Raven was on hand to give out the awards and paid tribute to each person. The Spirit of Revelstoke awards are ongoing – you can nominate someone at any time.

Nomination forms can be picked up at Chamber of Commerce reception (204 Campbell Ave) or requested via email to: volunteer@revelstokecf.com.

The names of nominators remain confidential.

If you missed the Volunteer Fair but are keen to get out there and volunteer, check out the Volunteer Recruitment board at the Community Centre. The fair was a joint effort between Community Futures, the Community Response Network and Okanagan College’s Volunteer Adult Literacy Tutoring Program. Looks like it’ll be a go for next year!

CSRD asks province for comprehensive plan on IPPs reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District has asked the province of B.C. to create a comprehensive framework for reviewing Independent Power Projects after the district was asked for feedback on a slew applications recently.

The CSRD has received 25 referrals from FrontCounter BC in recent months regarding private water power projects on various creeks and rivers throughout areas A and B of the regional district.

As the Times Review reported in August, a regulatory change resulted in dozens of power projects being refiled with FrontCounter BC. Those applications have now landed on the desks of CSRD staff for comment.

The staff report recommended CSRD’s Board of Directors adopt a formal policy with regards to the applications.

“Given the potential cumulative impact of these projects, and the lack of CSRD policy to address such development, and the significant number of referral requests from the province, Development Services staff is seeking direction from the Board to assist in responding to these referrals,” wrote planner Jan Thingsted in his report.

The board unanimously approved a resolution asking that staff contact the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations “advising that it supports the implementation of a framework for assessing and managing the cumulative impacts social, economic and environmental values, of independent power projects, including run-ofriver hydroelectric projects.”

The staff report indicates that under the Utilities Commission Act of 2006, local governments no longer have any authority over IPPs and that they are exempt from zoning regulations and development per-

mits.

The Area B Official Community Plan Bylaw 850 supports small scale (up to 50 megawatt) IPPs. An update to the bylaw currently underway proposes to expand the policy

so that any support for IPPs is “conditional upon rigorous environmental screening, cumulative impact assessment and public review.”

Loni Parker, the director for Area B, said the board passed

similar resolutions in the past but were ignored by the province. She said existing policies left local people out of the loop and didn’t think the ministries had the capacities to conduct proper investiga-

tions given recent cutbacks.

“I’d like to see first of all a response back from the province to our request,” she said.

“Certainly we’re supporting an initiative that hopefully they’re undertaking in a

timely fashion. And just some recognition these IPPs impact the local environment of the various jurisdictions in the province and they’re certainly going to take our interests into consideration.”

The Grizzlies in action recently.

19+ to play

Its 13 games into the season and the Revelstoke Grizzlies sit with a record of 6-51-1 which puts them in fourth place in the very competitive Doug Birks division of the KIJHL. It has been a bit of an up and down season so far for the team – showing signs of being a great team and then also showing signs of a weak team.

It’s still early in the season and there is a lot of hockey still yet to be played. There are no weak sisters in the division this year as the Chase Heat has put together a competitive hard-working team after struggling in the expansion season. We look forward to seeing good competitive hockey here in Revelstoke every weekend.

With a mixture of returning veterans and newcomers to the Grizzlies this year, I am working hard with the players to instill my systems and game plans and also share my knowledge on what it takes to be a winning hockey team.

Right now our biggest struggle seems to be our special teams play, with the team sitting 19th in the league on the Power Play and 11th on the penalty kill.

Losing key players like Blinkhorn, Hildebrand, Roberts, Sanford, Schwartz and Spraggs takes its toll early on in the season but as guys start to gain more chemistry and confidence with each other you will see the special teams numbers jump up.

I believe that once some guys figure out what their role is on the team and play that way each and every night we will start to win

a lot more games.

A big part of winning as a team is sacrificing. What I mean by that is that some players have to realize what type of player they really are and accept it and play that way. Once we have that figured out we can be a balanced hockey club that is going to be hard to beat.

At the end of the day it doesn’t matter how many goals or points a player got in the game, the only thing that matters is if the Grizzlies got the win.

My main goal is to get all 23 players focused on the logo on the front of the jersey and not the name on the back.

I would also like to thank all of our great sponsors, volunteers and fans for coming out and supporting us this season. You all make coming to the rink a great time!

The Revelstoke Avalanche take on the Golden Eagles in the opening game of the Sr. Girls Last Spike volleyball tournament on Friday. Golden won the match 25-21, 25-15.

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Contributed by Barry Rourke

The senior girls Last Spike volleyball tournament featured a good mix of volleyball teams across the Okanagan and one team from the Kootenays. The emphasis of the volleyball tournament is to have fun and that teams have a positive experience during their short stay in Revelstoke. Our new volleyball friendly facility combined with a positive approach to the game from officials, coaches, and players was a winning combination.

The Revelstoke Secondary senior girls volleyball team had a great start in Saturday’s semi-final.

The team dominated the first game against Vikings from Valleyview Secondary School in Kamloops.

Momentum swung early in the second set with a dominate serve and attack by the Vikes. The Avalanche girls were unable to swing the momentum back and the Vikings won the next two sets to put them into the final.

The Avalanche faced the Huskies from Kelowna in the bronze medal match. The Avalanche domi-

nated the first set winning 25-14. The Huskies won a close second set 25-20. The final set went in the Huskies favour 15-9. The Avalanche had a very successful weekend getting some valuable home court time against some strong opponents.

The gold medal match was between the Vikings from Valleyview Secondary School and the Eagles from Golden Secondary School. The Vikes sailed through the first set 25-14. The Eagles fought back and stole the second set 26-24. The Viking stormed back in the final set 15-7 to win the gold medal match.

Final Results 1. Valleyview Secondary School – Kamloops 2. Golden Secondary School 3. Okanagan Mission Secondary School – Kelowna 4. Revelstoke Secondary School 5. Eagle River Secondary School – Sicamous 6. A.L. Fortune Secondary School – Enderby 7. Pleasant Valley Secondary School – Armstrong

New local website wants Revelstoke to get rad ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Tennille Barber was at a dinner party with some friends when one of them, kayaker Christian Foster, showed her the edit of a video he was working on of his summer exploits.

She asked him what he was going to do with it. "I said, 'I should make a site you can put that stuff on,'" Barber told me.

That's where the idea came from for Get Rad Revelstoke, a new website for local athletes, photographers, writers and videographers to post material in the hopes of getting sponsored, hired or more.

"It started as an athletes thing but then why wouldn't photographers, videographers and writers be involved as well because they're the people that make the whole entire thing public knowledge," she said.

Barber is a web designer who has built sites for Community Connections, the Revelstoke Arts Council, and the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre, amongst other local organizations. This summer she offered a contest where the prize was a free website for a non-profit website. When no one applied, she embarked on creating Get Rad Revelstoke.

Three days later, she had a website ready to go.

Barber herself is an athlete who plays hockey and roller derby, skis, climbs, mountain bikes, kayaks and even did some body building in the past. She

"I'm a jack of all trades, I like to try everything," she said. "I do get passionate about sports in general and I like to try new things."

The site launched in late-September with only a few articles and athletes involved. Since then it's grown to include five skiers, four kayakers, two snowboarders, one endurance athlete, two videographers, three photographers and two writers.

The site is open for anyone to sign up, whether you're an aspiring pro or just someone getting out there. Contributors must use their real name.

"Even if you’re just an average joe-blow or a top level athlete – I want everybody to be able to post their stuff," Barber said. "You can be average for Revelstoke but still be above average for the rest of the world."

So far there are articles about skiing, dirt biking, kayaking, mountain biking and more. The two most popular contribution so far is Foster's kayaking video mentioned above title Big Bubbles, No Troubles. Kim Bastedo's account of her trip to South America with the Freeride World Tour was also a big hit.

Her ultimate goal is to get advertisers and eventually produce a print product.

VICTORIA – The B.C. Conservative Party has established a new “unity committee” after expelling or censuring 15 party members in an effort to stamp out a smouldering rebellion against leader John Cummins.

Party president Al Siebring confirmed Monday that letters have gone out to 15 members involved in efforts to oust Cummins. None are identified, and the number whose memberships have been revoked will not be disclosed, Siebring said in a statement released after weekend board meetings in Duncan.

The board approved a motion of “full confidence” in Cummins as the resurgent party prepares for a provincial election in May. The new committee is chaired by party director Daniel Brooks and includes Christine Clarke, who ran third in the Port Moody-Coquitlam byelection won by the NDP’s Joe Trasolini in April.

“We recognize that there are things which can be done to improve our internal processes,” Cummins said. “The motion was clear when it said that we are looking for ways to engage our members, constituency association presidents and boards, and improve communications within our party.”

South Surrey-White Rock constituency president Allison Patton went public last week, claiming there were “at least 20” local party presidents calling on Cummins to resign. Later she was joined at a news conference by Burnaby North constituency president Ariane Eckardt, and said Cummins had agreed to step aside but then changed his mind.

Cummins termed that account an “absolute fabrication.” He set a deadline of Oct. 10 for party members to either unite or resign, and later said 14 people had voluntarily quit. The party said it has added 381 new members since Sept.

3, and continues to collect donations at a pace of $4,000 a week.

The party surged to about 20 per cent of voter support in recent polls, challenging the B.C. Liberals for second place behind the NDP. But as the party went through a fractious recent annual general meeting, Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen quit, and two other members including ChilliwackHope by-election candidate John Martin joined the B.C. Liberals.

The B.C. Conservatives attracted only 2.4 per cent of the vote in the 2009 election, and have been known more for infighting than electoral success in recent years. The last time the party achieved five per cent of voter support was 1974.

Dickson, McGeragle win final downhill race and overall titles Times Review staff

Stu Dickson and Theresa McGeragle were winners of the Downhill Toonie Race series, with each of them taking the final race of the year on Frisby downhill trail on Sunday.

The youngster Dickson won three of four races this year and finished second in the other one to win the men’s series with a total of 760 points. Nathan Jecks, who finished runner-up to Dickson in the last three races, came in second with 575 points. Callum McLeary rounded out the top three with 545 points.

On the women’s side, McGeragle won with 685 points thanks to two victories and second and fourth place finishes.

Danielle Backman finished second with 550 points and Canadian downhill champion Casey Brown finished third after winning both races she showed up for.

Conditions for the final race of the season – the Frisby Frigid Fingers – were less than ideal, with pouring rain making for muddy and slippery conditions down the already challenging trail on Sunday.

The conditions also impacted the turnout, with only 17 racers coming out, down from an average of 30 competitors in the first three races of the downhill series.

In the end, Dickson’s time of 8:12.50 proved victorious, with Jecks finished 8.19 seconds back and McLeary ending up third in a time of 8:27.14.

On the women’s side, McGeragle finished in 10:44.96, with Backman only 3.53 behind her. Rianne Mariash was third in a time of 12:46.15.

The race series was presented by the Revelstoke Cycling Association and Flowt Bikes.

Above: The winners of the men’s Toonie Race series – first place Stu Dickson (centre), second place Nathan Jecks (left) and third place Callum McLeary.; Right: The winners of the women’s race series, from left: First place Theresa McGeragle and runner-up Danielle Backman.

It is with deep regret and sadness that we announce the passing of Isabella who died peacefully on a warm, sunny autumn day, surrounded by family at Hillside Village, just two days after her 60th wedding anniversary. A Mass of Christian Burial was held at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Revelstoke on Friday morning, October 19th with Father Aaron de Dios celebrant. In lieu of Àowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer Society of B.C., Suite 300, 828 West 8th Avenue, Vancouver, B.C. V5Z 1E2, in memory of Isabella.

Isabella grew up on the family farm on the outskirts of Vibank, Saskatchewan with many a tale of farm life, frozen ponds, and the one room school house. Together, throughout their married life Edwin and Isabella would put down roots in various communities in Saskatchewan and B.C., orchestrating endless renos, planting many gardens and making countless friends along the way. Isabella found great happiness in all the communities she lived in. She always considered Revelstoke home, where she chose to be laid to rest. Mom was happiest when she was gardening, crafting, quilting, painting or doing ceramics. She enjoyed sharing her time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren, teaching them how to paint, glue, glitter and bake. She also took great pleasure in giving the Blue Jays “what for” when she watched their games.

Isabella was predeceased by her parents Victor and Mathilda Flaman, her brothers Edward, Maximilanus, Christian, Aloysious, Robert and Joseph and her son-inlaw Ken Munroe. She leaves to cherish her memory her beloved husband Edwin; children Debbie, Bruce (Mary), Kevin (Lynda), Reta (Colin) and Dean (Tracy); grandchildren: Daphne, Megan (Ryan), John (Crystal), Bryan (Anne), Nicole, Kyle, Devon, Chad, Nevada (Kenny), Jordan, Kristen, Jacob, Rebecca, James (Marilyn) and Juanita; great grandchildren: Raelyn, Charlie, Alexis, Adam, Jorja, Jaden, Maryssa, Jennifer and Brandon. Also left to mourn her loss are her sisters Barbara (Frank), Leona (Frank), Vera (Ed) and Mary (Al), her youngest brother Florian (Bonnie), brothers-in-law Ernest (Jenny), and John (Isabelle), sisters-in-law Lil (John) and Eileen (Ron) as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

We wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the staff at Hillside Village in Salmon Arm. Your care, compassion and kindness given to mom and dad both during this time was greatly appreciated. You couldn’t have been kinder to her.

Messages of condolence may be sent to Isabella’s family by visiting her obituary at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com. Cremation arrangements were in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.

RSS principal Mike Hooker speaks about bullying following Amanda Todd suicide ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke Secondary School has little problems with bullying, a result of active intervention by school staff, says principal Mike Hooker.

The Times Review spoke with Hooker in light of the high-profile incident earlier this month where teenager Amanda Todd committed suicide after posting a video online saying she was the subject of constant bullying.

We were interested in how bullying was handled in Revelstoke.

“The conversation about bullying in schools really has a lot to do with school connectedness,” said Hooker. “The primary goal of our school has been to make sure that we have kids who feel connected to school.

Connected means they have at least two adults in the school they feel they can talk to.”

He said that research showed that both victims and bullies lacked “meaningful relationships with an adult at school” and so the school reaches to kids they see as at-risk to create an environment where bullying is less likely. “The other piece is response and how you deal with bullying behaviour,” he said.

For that, they take two tacks – first is to deal with the victim by making them know it’s not OK. “The response is to say in all cases you never send a student away who says they’re being bullied or having problems,” Hooker said. “We tell them we may not be able to fix the problem today but there are ways to address it... There are often very complicated social situations that create those different scenarios.”

Dealing with the bully involves both punishment and addressing the reasons he or she feels the need to bully.

“There’s really classic background to bullying behaviour,” Hooker said. “Often bullies have been bullied or been exposed to poor modelling or seen poor relations. Have

witnessed bullying or been a victim of. That’s where you’re working with the bully and their support system to get them to a point where they don’t need to do that.”

At RSS, Hooker said

there’s very few instances that come up that catch staff by surprise, a function of Revelstoke being a small community. “For the most part, any we’re dealing with, they’re not a surprise. They’re the ones we’re

already involved in and helping the kids figure it out.”

Situations that arise on social media are dealt with in school and Hooker said there’s fewer instances of online problems because students are more aware of

what they should and should not do online. And a bully in the playground is just as likely to be a bully online.

“What the problem for adults looking at it is we’re always trying to educate kids to make sure they’re aware

either if they’re engaging in it or being victimized, they need to tell the parents or tell the school,” Hooker said.

“It’s one thing for me to say it doesn’t happen, but it is, we just don’t know it.”
