Trans-Canada upgrades open house explores ongoing, planned projects Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

They should fix this section of the highway. They should put a barrier there. They should put a snowshed at Three Valley Gap. But who are they?

They – regional B.C. transportation ministry staff – put on a Feb. 26 open house in Revelstoke to gather input about proposed highways upgrades on the Trans-Canada between Kamloops and the Alberta border.

Like many, I was a little skeptical about the timing – a big public show about a process just a couple of months ahead of an election. How fortuitous for the incumbent government – a ‘quick win’ on a perennial issue for the region.

After about an hour of milling about the presentation room at the Revelstoke Community Centre and talking with representatives, my mind was somewhat changed.

Here’s my take.

The consultation wasn’t really about a $650 million Trans-Canada twinning

promise made last year by Premier Christy Clark, but more of a look at ongoing infrastructure projects already high up in the queue, although there is some overlap.

Regardless of timing, a consultation is a worthwhile process.

Rick Blixrud is the assistant regional director for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure’s Southern Interior region.

He showed me through stats and maps that listed ongoing and planned upgrade projects. The Woods Overhead and Clanwilliam Overhead to the west of Revelstoke are two examples of ongoing projects.

Planned projects between Sicamous and Golden include the Malakwa Bridge, the North Fork extension and the Avoca Road to Crazy Creek improvement. Between here and Golden, the Donald East project is the major one.

Attendees check over aerial photos of planned Trans-Canada Highway upgrades at a Feb. 26 open house at the Revelstoke Community Centre.

New Arrow Lakes ferry taking shape in Nakusp Claire Paradis Black Press

Walking into the office, Kate Tupper-England looked very little like the welder-dancer from Flashdance. Aside from the difference in hairstyles (no ‘80s curls on TupperEngland), there was also not a smudge of dirt to be seen.

Tupper-England had just finished a 10-day welding stint and was now looking forward to four days of freedom that would start with a visit to a spa.

The Nakusp welder has been busy working on the ferry being built down past the sewage treatment plant on the north side of Nakusp. Waterbridge Steel now has around 50 people working to get the ferry ready for its summer launch date this year and for actual service in May 2014. Workers have been hired out of Selkirk College programs as well as farther abroad, with some coming from the Okanagan.

“It’s the colour of birth and death,” said Tupper-England, telling me that when they died, ancient people were painted this colour and then put in the ground.

And, one of the best things about building the ferry is building something that will be used by people for a long time.

“You’ll get to ride it forever,” she said, noting that although lots of people don’t like the ferry, she loves it.

The ferry is like a giant 3D puzzle; each piece is delivered from Vancouver cut to shape and numbered. From there, the workers assemble the vessel from the plans.

For her part, the Nakusp welder is really loving working with the fitters, who take each piece and fit it where it’s supposed to go; she then

Parents’ frustrations build over French immersion issue

Many parents, and their children, attended Wednesday’s meeting of the Revelstoke school board to show their interest in French Immersion.

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

In an unusual display of solidarity, more than 20 parents – many with children in tow – showed up at Wednesday's meeting of the Revelstoke Board of Education. They were all interested in creating a new French immersion program in the school district and wanted to make their presence known, even though the issue wasn't on the board's agenda.

In fact, they were there because of the lack of French immersion on the agenda. While superintendent Mike Hooker did bring up the numbers, there was no discussion by the trustees. It was the second school

board meeting with no discussion since a special board meeting was held on Feb. 1 where parents Stephanie Melnyk and Vanessa Morrow made the case for the program.

The lack of action since then has them and other parents frustrated.

"The numbers talk is actually beside the point tonight in my opinion because there's other work that needs to be done and at this point it's not being done at all," said Melnyk following Wednesday's meeting. "We saw it wasn't even on the agenda tonight to look at staffing, distribution of classrooms, all these other concerns that the trustees have, they're not even discussing.

"It's just non-existent. It's very frustrating."

Melnyk and Vanessa Morrow have been leading the push to implement French immersion in Revelstoke. They presented their case for the program at the meeting on Feb. 1 and they have been meeting with Hooker since then to go over the numbers.

For the school board, the issue is the numbers. According to the information presented by Hooker yesterday, there are only 12 parents fully committed to enrolling their children in French immersion in Revelstoke for the fall of 2013, with a few maybes depending on what school the program is based at. Trustees have repeatedly said the program must be sustainable for it to move forward.

Friends final fate to be decided later this month Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

For several months now, the end of the Friends of Mt. Revelstoke & Glacier has been a mere formality.

That formality will likely happen later this month, when the Board of Directors holds a full members

meeting to disband the society.

“We’re going to discuss the situation with the members and basically wrap it up,” said David Rooney, one of the remaining active directors.

The Friends’ announced in December that it was facing $214,000 of debt and its board told

its members it was recommending they dissolve the society at a future vote. Since then, the debt has actually turned out to be much higher – in the range of $250-260,000, said Rooney.

That includes about $36,000 in taxes owing to the federal government. To pay it off, they’ve been

"There's no doubt that early French immersion programs are a benefit to those students and families who choose to be involved," said Hooker. "The challenge that we've dealt with, and continue to deal with as we go through this process continues to be the size of Revelstoke and its capacity to support early French Immersion."

Melnyk said she has collected different numbers – 19 committed for kindergarten, with four maybes; and 16 committed for grade one, with six maybes. She's been trying to figure out the reason for the discrepancy and fears that some people are getting missed by the school district.

"We had a meeting with Mike last Friday," she said. "We said, 'What about this family?' He said he didn't have that family, but then he checked his files and found the survey."

When asked about the differences, Hooker said parents who were committed to the program needed to tell the school district, not just Melnyk. They need to be on the district's list and not just hers.

"I'm not hard to get in touch with," he said. He also maintained that no one has been missed.

"I've got every survey that we've got electronically and paper-wise sorted and in a pile, so I have not missed anyone."

Alan Chell, the chair of the Revelstoke Board of Education, said the school district should have a better idea of the numbers once kindergarten registration wrapped up this week. "We're not close at this point," he said.

However, Melnyk said some par-

ents weren't receiving the French Immersion survey with their registration package or being told about the program. Following the meeting, some parents said they didn't receive the survey in November, when it was first conducted.

"I understand it's difficult to do all that administration but it means that it's not a robust process," said Melnyk.

She also thinks the school board should be looking at issues like staffing and location while the numbers are being collected, rather than waiting until afterwards. However, after the meeting Hooker said the district has an implementation plan that was created in 2008, the last time French immersion was explored, and much of it could be used now.

"A great deal of the work that was done then applies again now in terms of projections but at this point we've said the first step is to establish that there's an even a group," he said.

For the parents, the frustration with the process appears to reaching a breaking point. A group of parents said they will be going around with French immersion surveys and getting parents to fill them out, and then presenting them to the district – that way they can know for sure nothing's being held back.

"Parents need to start protesting. That's the only thing we can do," said Melnyk. "We've been playing by the rules for [two-anda-half] years and although we have an extremely cooperative relationship with the district, starting with Anne, carrying on with Mike and the trustees, it's not working."

selling off merchandise to retailers in town, and a major sale of what’s left will likely take place in April.

“Our bank accounts have been frozen by the feds,” Rooney said.

“We’ve been selling what we can and putting it into the account, and the feds have been sucking it up.”

Other people left owing money will likely be left in the lurch.

Rooney said they had a good idea of who was responsible for the fiasco,

but no legal action was going to be taken against anyone.

“We have a very good idea of where the responsibility lies and there’s plenty of blame to go around,” he said. “I’m not going to get into pointing fingers here. We would have to prove it in a court of law and nobody has the money or the energy to do that. Basically, we’re done, the whole issue’s done.”

Transportation ministry seeks input on highways upgrade plans Transportation, from page 1 Blixrud said the total cost for five major proposed projects on the table at the open house was estimated $120 million – but would need federal money to go ahead.

Two other projects have already received federal help.

Why the consultation, I ask Blixrud. Shouldn’t the upgrades be up to the experts? Those trained in highways construction who have access to the stats?

“There are some projects for us that are very obvious. They have good safety benefits. If we do a certain project it will help with accident stats,” Blixrud explained. “After that first top 10 … there’s a whole bunch that have basically the same level of benefit for the investment. What we’re looking for is public input on that.”

Arrow ferry, from page 1 tacks them on with her torch.

The site is a busy, convivial place, says Tupper-England, adding the whole crew feels like a bunch of brothers.

“Every single one of my bosses is so great,” she said. “It’s a good feeling. As a girl you wonder how’s this going to be. It wasn’t a problem.”

He explained some of the ways public input was valuable. For example, avalanche closures in Three Valley Gap are a hot topic. “Even in Sicamous we heard about Three Valley Gap,” Blixrud explained. The issue locally is reliability and the timing of traffic closures.

He said the ministry is exploring remote avalanche controls to allow them to work at night, shifting closures away from the early mornings; a key complaint from tourism and transportation operators is timing and reliability. “What we’re hearing is that dependability is really key,” Blixrud said. “We’ve asked for federal funding on it.”

Blixrud shows me a giant aerial photograph laid out on the table of an ongoing project near Kamloops.

The ministry had planned to widen the highway on its existing route.

But local input favoured a detour The work is physically demanding, which has meant the welder keeps building muscle, but she also knows when not to push it. If she knows she can’t lift something, she calls for a hand.

“There’s a lot going on but I feel very safe and trust every single person,” she commented.

“I’ve heard big things about her,” he said, referring to her reputation as an award-winning artist. “We enjoy having her.”

four-lane plan.

What happens after the open house series? Blixrud said the ministry will prepare a summary report and publish it, referring it out to local stakeholders such as city coun-

cil and the regional government. The input period ended on Mar. 1.

On the same day, Revelstoke city council approved a resolution for the upcoming Southern Interior Local Government Association meeting. It urged the provincial and federal governments to act on highway upgrades. “The two-lane Trans-Canada Highway was built in 1962 is a critical economic link to the Pacific Rim. [It] has become inadequate for both commercial and private travellers, too often resulting in deaths of severe injuries,” it states. It urges the federal and provincial governments to partner to improve the highway.

Transportation ministry stats showed 76 fatalities and 1,053 injuries on the Kamloops to Alberta stretch in a five-year period between 2007 and 2011. In addition, there were 456 road closures lasting more than 30 minutes.

A cattle truck lies at the side of the Trans-Canada Highway after crashing into a tow truck on Friday.

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Six cows died after a tractor-trailer carrying a load of cattle crashed into a tow truck that was helping to move another vehicle on the Trans-Canada Highway east of Revelstoke on Friday, Mar. 1.

The crash happened at around 11 a.m. on the Trans-Canada Highway near Greeley Road, about 10 kilometres east of Revelstoke.

RCMP said the tow truck was pulling out another vehicle from the snow at the side of the road when an eastbound semi hit it.

The two truck appeared to experience significant damage, and the

front of the tractor unit was also damaged. An RCMP officer on the scene said the cattle were jostled around in the crash and some had legs sticking out slits of the trailer and had to be pushed back inside.

Staff-Sgt. Jacquie Olsen of the Revelstoke RCMP told the Times Review six cows died in the crash.

Unconfirmed reports indicate the truck is still at the side of the highway while its replacement is stuck in Golden waiting for the highway to reopen.

The officer said the driver of the semi would be charged with driving without due care and attention.

City crews work to fix a burst water main on Victoria Road at Fourth Street on Friday morning. Darren Komonoski, the operations manager for public works, said he didn’t know the cause of the burst main, but it was likely due to aging pipe infrastructure. “That pipe is probably from the sixties,” he said, adding there are more old pipes like it in central Revelstoke. “Hence the need for asset management and replacement.” The rupture caused one lane of Victoria Road to close in each direction for the morning, but by early afternoon a public works crew had the pipe fixed and were filling in the hole in the road. Komonoski said there is some money to replace some old pipes in the budget this year, “but not that particular area.”

Overdue sledders trigger search Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke Search & Rescue was called into action on Friday, Mar. 1, after two snowmobilers failed to return to a rendezvous at a cabin on Sale Mountain north of Revelstoke.

Revelstoke RCMP said a 28-year-old Revelstoke man and his sledding partner from New Zealand were due to meet up with his father at the Sale Mountain cabin. When the pair didn’t show, the man contacted the RCMP just before 8 p.m.

The area was ripe for avalanches following a heavy layer of fresh, wet snow that blanketed the area the night

before. The Canadian Avalanche Centre issued an extreme’ avalanche risk warnings for the alpine in the region that day.

Rescuers geared up for a Saturday morning search, but it was soon called off.

The father phoned just after 8 a.m. on Saturday to say he’d been in touch with the pair.

They’d got lost and sheltered outside for the night. They made their way back and were uninjured.

Here are some of the recent incidents Revelstoke Search & Rescue has been involved in: Feb. 24: RCMP ask for help looking for two missing skiers at RMR. They are even-

tually located in a bar at the ski hill – presumably uninjured.

Feb. 22: Seven SAR members respond to a fatal avalanche in the backcountry near the Revelstoke Mountain Resort boundary. Three of five skiers were buried and one died of his injuries.

On Feb. 23, SAR returns to recover the body using a helicopter long line rescue.

Feb. 17: SAR responds to two lost snowboarders at Revelstoke Mountain Resort. The pair eventually make it out of the area on their own.

Feb. 16: Seven SAR members search for a lost snowmobiler on Boulder Mountain. The subject is located in good condition and escorted

out.

Feb. 16: Seven SAR members search for another lost snowmobiler in the Revelstoke area. He eventually finds his own way out.

Feb. 11: Eight Revelstoke SAR members respond to rescue an injured skier and her four companions on Mount Mackenzie.

The injured woman is airlifted out and her companions are returned to the ski hill area.

Feb. 11: The imposing Mac Daddy Face on Mount Mackenzie claims a skier who falls over a cliff. Her friends call for help but eventually find her in good condition and call off help from the searchers.

Chamber hosts city budget input open house Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce is hosting an open house to gather input on the City of Revelstoke’s proposed budget.

Chamber executive director Judy Goodman said the event is designed to fill the void of public comments the city has

experienced over the past several years. “We believe that people care but they’re just not voicing their opinion in the right way,” she told the Times Review.

The city has received only a handful of written comments over the past several years.

Chamber director Nathan Weston chairs the chamber’s Policy & Advocacy Commit-

tee, and has also been part of the Financial Focus Group appointed by city council to review the budget and provide input. He’ll be available at the Mar. 12 event to help guide chamber members, business owners and the general public through the process.

Goodman said the chamber board had approached many local business owners on the

issue of increased property tax burden on local businesses, and have assembled ideas and suggestions for the city. The board wants your input on their ideas.

SNOWMOBILE REVELSTOKE SOCIETY REPRESENTATIVE ON REVELSTOKE REARING IN THE WILD COMMITTEE Part six of an ongoing column and story series exploring the Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild maternity penning plan.

For more than 25 years, the Snowmobile Revelstoke Society, in partnership with the Revelstoke Snowmobile Club and the British Columbia Snowmobile Federation, has been actively involved with various community and government organizations with the intent and goal of halting the decline of caribou populations.

There are significant challenges in halting the decline, however snowmobilers continue to do their part. The British Columbia Snowmobile Federation has a signed

a Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Management of Snowmobiling in Mountain Caribou Habitats which includes the Canadian Snowmobiler Code of Ethics and Best Operating Practices.

Furthermore, many snowmobile clubs in the province have signed Stewardship Management Agreements that clearly identify the responsibilities of snowmobilers and government in managing areas under agreements. SRS and partners continue to work at maintaining snowmobile access, managing closure areas, as well as fostering environmental stewardship through education, the volunteer snowmobile patrol program and signing of areas. We also continue to be actively involved with the Progress Board responsible for reviewing outcomes pertaining to the Mountain Caribou Recovery Implementation Plan.

When the idea to explore a maternity penning project was brought forward, SRS was excited to be an active and founding member of the Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild Society. We know from various studies that calf survival rate continues to be low and that numbers will not improve signif-

icantly if calf survival numbers don’t improve. After reviewing the outcomes of other maternity penning projects, SRS and partners felt that this project could offer the best chance for young caribou. It is important that the cows experience the least amount of disturbance, change and stress as possible.

We are very pleased to see all the work that has already been completed to ensure that the cows and calves will be well cared for and protected. This project is quite costly and uniquely challenging and thus takes a community to see it through.

We are very pleased to work along side the various local stakeholders and interest groups in achieving this common goal.

Parents say school district giving French immersion the runaround Editor, Twenty concerned parents (with kids in tow) showed up to last week’s school board meeting to demonstrate our frustration that the trustees are ignoring the possibility of a French Immersion program this fall. Both the school board and school district have maintained that they fully believe in the quality of a French immersion program (FI has been around since 1965, after all) and the advantages it could provide for the children of SD19 upon graduation.

Yet, as September draws closer and the need to make a decision increases, there was no French immersion agenda item on the school board’s regular meeting last week. No discussion about staffing implications, which is one of the board’s concerns. No evaluation of which school could accommodate the program, should it be implemented (another concern that had been raised). Only a note to say that the fall 2013 cohort was adjusted from nine to 10 students, which in itself is an insult.

We know there are at least 18 fully-committed families in the 2013 cohort who have submitted surveys yet many remain unaccounted for. In good faith, we continue to work on this discrep-

ancy with the school district. It would be appropriate for the board to be addressing the staffing and classroom organization concerns concurrently to be prepared for implementation should the numbers line up.

In February, two parents made an undisputed presentation to the school board trustees addressing the sustainability of the program using data specific to Revelstoke. If there was really a commitment from the school board and district to look at the viability of French immersion, it should have been an agenda item at last week’s meeting. There should be some ideas at this point about the location of the program. There should be a willingness to engage in discussion beyond the “numbers” while we wait for kindergarten registration to be completed.

We are a concerned group of parents in SD19 who are looking for implementation of French immersion in September and we want to engage in the planning process … not be ignored and told we’re not allowed to speak at a public meeting.

READER OPPOSES LOGGING AT BEGBIE FALLS Editor, I’m writing to voice my concern over the current and planned logging of the Begbie Falls forest area by Stella-Jones.

Our economy no longer relies so heavily on forestry and this area holds great economic value via a diversity of sources. It is also heavily used for recreational, aesthetic, and spiritual purposes, and for traditional food harvesting, not to mention its inherent value for wildlife and biodiversity in our region.

I firmly support a moratorium on further logging until meaningful public consultation occurs to facilitate the integration of current values of this area with harvesting needs.

Cecile Doo-Kingue plays the blues

Born in New York to Cameroonian parents, now living in Montreal, Doo-Kingue’s music is a multicultural blend of influences ALEX COOPER

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Cecile Doo-Kingue remembers the first concert she ever went to. It was Simon and Garfunkel live in Central Park – the show that was recorded for their famous live album. Doo-Kingue was three.

“I remember the feeling of being surrounded by I don’t know how many hundreds of thousands of people and the energy of what music can do,” she said.

When she was a bit older, she picked up her brother’s guitar and started playing. The last of eight children of Cameroonian parents, she grew up in New York City in a musical household. Her father was a big jazz freak, her brother was a huge blues fan and there was also lots of African music being played in her house. Her brother would sneak her into clubs in New York City when she was still underage.

“It was a very eclectic musical atmosphere,” she said. “All of those sounds were part of my musical reality and made their way into my guitar and eventually the song writing as well.”

Going to shows growing up had a huge influence on her and watching people perform inspired her to do the same.

In 1995, Doo-Kingue moved to Montreal for school and became involved in the city’s music scene, developing a reputation as one of the

city’s best guitarists. She played in bands for years, but it wasn’t until 2010 that she released her first solo album, Freedom Calling. On the album, she blended her blues, soul and afro-folk influences. Bill Brownstein of the Montreal Gazette called her one of “most electrifying guitarists around” as well as one of the “most versatile.”

Doo-Kingue’s guitar playing is very much in the classic blues styles and she had a deep, soulful singing voice. She readily admits to stealing from her influences to develop her own style.

“It started with hearing something that I really dug and wanting to figure out how to play,” she said. “No two players sound the same so eventually you make it yours. I have no shame in saying I’ve stolen from people I respect and enjoy.”

I asked her why it took her so long to come out with her first album. “I think I spent most of time concentrating on guitar playing and trying to be the best accompaniest that I could be,” she replied. She played lead guitar in the band Dibondoko and, while she helped write the music, she didn’t write the lyrics.

“Once the band broke up I realized I did have lyrics that were coming out and a musical expression that I hadn’t been able to explore with the band.”

The state of the Internet in Revelstoke It’s no secret the Internet in Revelstoke has been slow lately.

It’s something Telus says they’re aware of, and an issue a group of local tech workers are looking to address. What does having slow Internet mean for a community in this day and age?

BIG EDDY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SITE REDEVELOPMENT

COMMUNITY INFORMATION MEETING

You are invited to a Community Information Meeting on Wednesday, March 13th, 2013 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Columbia Forest District Office, 1761 Big Eddy Road, regarding redevelopment plans for the Big Eddy Elementary School site.

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

There’s a theory going around Revelstoke that every time there’s a big powder day, the Internet slows down.

The problem is that all those powder hounds come home from the mountains and start uploading their helmet camera footage to YouTube or Vimeo or Facebook.

As a result, the Internet in town slows to a crawl and because so many people are uploading their videos, it becomes impossible for people to watch said videos.

“That’s pretty much what you should say in your article, that we need the bandwidth for the end of the ski day,” local software developer Derek Marcinyshyn joked on the phone. “Powder days probably affect bandwidth.”

That may not exactly been the case, but its definitely been the experience for many people in Revelstoke, myself included, with complaints surfacing on several web forums. The Internet in Revelstoke seems to run at a decent pace during the day, but come night time, when everyone is at home from work or from playing outside, speeds become nearly intolerable.

For normal web browsing, it’s not so bad, but for anything bandwidth intensive, like trying to move large files or watch a video, it’s an issue.

Of course, the problem is more than just being able to watch that clip of a pig saving a drowning goat without waiting for it to buffer. It also impacts people trying to do business over the web, whether its an unreliable pointof-sale terminal or someone trying to video-conference into their colleagues at head office.

“What we’ve experienced thus far is not acceptable,” said Jean-Marc Laflamme, a web business manager who works remotely out of Revelstoke. “We can’t have any of our service providers in this day and age fail to provide on this basic right.” *** There’s little doubt that good broadband access is a necessity in this day and age. Numerous reports indicate that it’s a generator of economic activity and a requisite when it comes to attracting new businesses.

David Falconer, a professor emeritus in the department of systems and computer engineering at Carleton University wrote in an article in the Journal of Policy Engagement that “Broadband multimedia telecommunications can potentially give residents and businesses in rural and remote communities the same access to worldwide service, information and commercial opportunities enjoyed in large urban communities. The resulting gains in economic sustainability and cultural self-realization for remote communities are arguably more significant than the benefits obtained by residents of urban centres.”

The problem for towns the size of Revelstoke is that the return on investment for the big telecommunication companies to operate here is comparatively small. Revelstoke, with only a few thousand households and businesses, provides about the same num-

ber of customers as a large office tower in downtown Vancouver, and it’s a lot more spread out, noted Marcinyshyn.

Right now, Telus is the only company that runs Internet hardware into town. They have several large fibreoptics pipes running through the province. That pipe is tapped into and brought to a central switching point downtown. From there, the signal is relayed to businesses and homes around town.

Shawn Hall, a spokesperson for the company, said they were aware of the Internet issues in Revelstoke and were installing two new state-of-the-art pieces of equipment to help improve reliability here.

“We are well aware of the challenge in Revelstoke and we know why it happened,” he said. “The demand for Internet bandwidth is rapidly increasing. The new technology we’re installing is going to meet that growing demand for some time to come.” *** Right now, the fastest bandwidth available for customers in Revelstoke is 6.0 megabits per second. A limited number of 15 mbps lines are also available for high-bandwidth users like Marcinyshyn, who needs to be able to download and upload large video files for the pre-movie entertainment at the Roxy Theatre, and for the R-Media video screens in businesses around town.

In theory, 6 mbps should be enough for standard Internet use, including watching videos, but other logjams, such as the number of ports available exist. It also depends on your provider.

Telus uses ADSL lines, where speed is impacted by your distance from the main hub. Revelstoke Cable uses cable lines, which is impacted by the number of people sharing your line.

Revelstoke is not alone in facing bandwidth issues. The Columbia Basin Trust has established the Columbia Basic Broadband Corporation (CBBC) to help communities deal with the issue.

“Our mandate is to build a world class open-access network to improve connectivity in the basin,” said Mark Halwa, the Chief Operating Officer of CBBC. “It’s challenging for communities the size of Revelstoke and even more challenging for communities that are much smaller, say Kaslo, to get really good broadband.”

CBBC’s role is to build a big, 100 mbps fibre-optics cable and connect it to interested basin communities. In Revelstoke, the cable would run from the main lines passing by town along the train tracks and bring it into Revelstoke City Hall. From there, it’s up to the city to decide what to with it.

They could keep it in house, hook up select businesses, strike a deal with a telecommunications company to make use of it, or set up their own city-wide network, said Halwa. *** Fast Internet access is considered a necessity both economically and socially these days. As Falconer wrote, it helps businesses operate and helps people keep in touch with the rest of the world. Students can take

high school and university classes remotely and medical specialists can diagnose patients remotely.

“New business is not going to come to town if their impression of coming to Revelstoke is absolutely poor connection speeds,” said Laflamme. “Believe me, I’ve chatted with quite a few visitors in town who don’t know if they can work here as an IT guy from the city.”

Halwa pointed me to a 2003 report about the city of Cedar Falls, Iowa, and its sister city Waterloo. Cedar Falls, a city of about 36,000 people, invested in a city-wide broadband network in the mid-1990s. It made the network one of four utilities owned by its municipally-owned utility company along with water, electricity, natural gas. Schools, hospitals, industrial yards, shopping centres and residences were connected to the network. In 1997, when most people were still using dial-up, it created a 10 mbps citywide Ethernet network that by 2003 provided more than 5,500 customers with high speed Internet access.

The report concluded that the availability of broadband provided boosts to the city’s schools, hospitals, businesses and industry.

Comparing it to its neighbour Waterloo, the report said the network provided Cedar Falls with a competitive advantage.

“There may be no single thing more important in a community’s efforts to achieve economic well-being than to grasp the role that telecommunications plays in creating meaningful jobs, enhanced education and worldclass healthcare,” wrote Doris J.Kelley, the reports author and the business development manager for the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities. “Now, more than ever, the direct link is evident between advanced communi-

cations and productivity and economic development.”

While the report is a decade old, Halwa said it holds true today. *** A working group has been formed to look at bringing more bandwidth into Revelstoke.

Right now they’ve only had a few meetings, so whether that means working with CBBC or with a company like Telus is still to be determined.

“We’re looking at offering Internet not only a consistent level but certainly with the highest speed possible and also at a good rate,” said Laflamme, who is part of the group.

With the CBBC, the cost of bringing the fibre-optics pipe into town would be covered and it would be up to the city to set up the network in town. “How it gets out of City Hall is up to City Hall,” said Halwa. “Usually when we get to that point, that’s when the municipalities know what Telus and Shaw are up against. Usually they comment on the lack of residents.”

He added that having a fast fibre-optics connection throughout the Columbia Basin could also lead to reduced IT for municipal governments by allowing to share resources.

Instead of having 29 communities each running their own servers and applications for the multitude of city needs, they could specialize in one area. So Revelstoke could run the e-mail server while Invermere runs the financial software. Instead of the city IT personnel needing to know dozens of programs, they could specialize in one or two, and become more efficient.

“It makes a lot of sense to have one pipe that handles everybody’s data, and fibre can do that,” said Halwa. “A shared big capital

expenditure like that makes a lot more sense than everybody doing it on their own.”

One thing that’s clear is more and more bandwidth will be needed as people start using the Internet more. Just the proliferation of Netflix creates huge strains on Internet infrastructure.

Judy Goodman, the executive director of the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce, said the issue is on their radar. “If you want to attract business here that is high-tech, we’d kind of be hooped as we are today,” she said.

“I think it’s key if we want to have that cre-

ative industry here because we don’t have a lot of industry.”

The 100 mbps speed being offered by CBBC is the goal, said Laflamme.

Alan Mason, the City of Revelstoke’s Director of Economic Development, said there have been talks with the CBBC. The issue will be figuring out how to distribute the bandwidth once its in town.

Then, “A group of skiers who had the most incredible powder day could all jump on at the same time,” said Halwa. “They could stream it live and there would no impact.”

Anything Goes Art Show

The Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre is hosting its annual Anything Goes Art Show this Friday, Mar. 8. The show is a fundraiser so the arts centre can get a new floor. How does the show work? Several dozen 20” X 20” canvasses went out to local artists to do as they pleased with. At the show, their creations will be on display. At set intervals, a number of them will go up for auction and bidding will commence. Once the round is over, another group of paintings will go up for auction, until everything is sold. The show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 and available at Castle Joe Books.

After a couple months of renovation and a longer wait for the liquor licence transfer, Traverse finally got the go-ahead to open its doors at their new location – the former Outabounds Nightclub on First Street West.

Owner Brady Beruschi and general manager Jay Shoji were overseeing the last details of the renovations on Thursday, saying they’d even open the doors that night if they heard from the liquor authorities in Victoria. In fact, it opened on Friday and was filled to capacity despite the lack of advance notice.

Shoji was the manager at Traverse in the Regent Hotel until about a year ago, then left for an extended working tour of Australia, where he gained inspiration of the drinking culture down under.

Shoji’s worked in Whistler and Banff and wants to bring “a bit more of a cocktail culture” to Revelstoke, including a wider variety of exotic drinks with fresh ingredients.

The decor is a mix of the old and new in a couple of ways. Outabounds had been totally renovated from the former Rock Pit Nightclub just a few years ago and was a pretty good foundation to start with. The backlit forest wall at the front stayed, as did the fireplace, many of the leather sofas and the main bar.

The stage is totally reoriented; it’s where the old VIP room was

and is a bit more intimate and accessible from anywhere in the club. The back of the club is now another elevated seating area checkerboarded with black and white leather sofas and chairs. It’s highlighted by a wavy stucco rear wall washed over with alternating coloured lighting.

The main bar stays and a new one has been added right next to it to increase volume. Shoji said the focus will be away from wait staff and towards mingling and ordering at the bar.

A series of graphic black and white posters and designs were done by Brady Beruschi’s brother

Stephano Beruschi, a Paris-based designer who works with the Gucci Group.

Also new is the house sound system. There are monitors above the dance floor and tucked under the new raised seating. “It’s loud, it’s clear. There’s a lot of bottom end if you need it,” Shoji said.

Shoji plans to host entertainment of all types. Live bands, house and touring DJs, comedy shows, local acts, special nights, private parties. But for now Shoji doesn’t want to get pigeonholed,

Revelstoke Homecoming 2014 dates set Aaron Orlando

Get ready for good times with old friends at the 2014 Revelstoke Homecoming.

A large organizing committee held its first meeting last week, where they pencilled in July 18–20, 2014, for the homecoming.

The big quinquennial event features a weekend of community events including beer gardens, car shows, dances, entertainment and more.

City parks director Laurie Donato said the organizing committee is still working on a theme for the event.

The committee discussed several prominent anniversaries that

are happening in 2014, and could base the event around some of them.

Donato said the

good turnout at their first meeting on Feb. 25 means the committee isn’t looking for new members. They

will advertise for volunteers for the homecoming once the event draws nearer.

Traverse so he’s keeping an open mind and encourages anyone with ideas to run it past him. “I think there is a lot of really good talent around town,” Shoji said of the possibilities.

Owner Brady Beruschi also ran Traverse and the River City Pub along with Shoji. Business-wise, he thinks there’s room for a new night venue in Revelstoke. “I think it’s going to bring another positive feel to the community,” Beruschi said. “I think there’s a market and I think there’s a demand.”

For now, Traverse is focusing on the weekend business, looking

to open from Thursday to Saturday. Beruschi said the rest of the week will depend on numbers. It’ll likely be seasonal as well; winter will be their busiest season because summertime barbecues and beach parties are tough to compete against.

The key for Traverse is

weeknight was a poor fit for the times – hunting too hard for cashed-up oilfield workers willing to overpay for beer instead of catering to a more authentic ski-town experience. It ultimately failed for more complex reasons, but the writing was on the wall with many dead-

slow nights.

Shoji said he wants to grow the club and its clientele in an organic way, taking it one step at a time.

“It’s not too classy for Revelstoke,” Shoji said of his plans for the vibe of Traverse.

“I think it’s important to

stay fresh,” Beruschi adds.

He also noted the old Traverse is closed, meaning a reduction in capacity on peak weekends. He feels the new club will add to the current local offering of pubs and sports bars. “We’ll all complement each other,” he said.

Doo-Kingue sings in both of Canada’s national languages and plays acoustic and electric guitar.

“I love both because they’re two very different worlds,” she said. “There’s something about an acoustic because it’s just you and your instrument and whatever your hands are projecting. Whereas electric, you can wail on an electric in a different way. Just the energy too. As much as you can rock on an acoustic, it’s not the same as when you have an amp and the whole electric universe.”

Doo-Kingue is on a cross-Canada tour with her friends Eric Thibodeau on drums and Dylan Kell-Kirkman on bass. She said they will be playing songs from her two albums, as well as her upcoming one.

“If you’re feeling in a ballady kind of mood and want the lights dimmed and to hear slow songs, we can do that,” she said. “Usually it’s a shake your booty kind of show. Even if you’re not dancing outright some part of you is going to twitch.”

Revelstoke boxers go 3-0 in Prince George Aaron Orlando

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Boxing Club led a three-person contingent out of their new digs at Mount Begbie Elementary to a weekend tournament in Prince George and returned undefeated.

17-year-old Conner Null won

a close split decision that moved him up to the number one ranking in B.C. in the youth 140pound category. “They’ll have to come to him if they want to move up with him,” said coach Sam LeRose of the win.

Two new fighters doubled up on their winless records, each improving to 2-0.

17-year-old Connor Makarewicz was “way too strong and better skilled than his opponent,” LeRose said. The relatively new member of the Revelstoke club earned a standing eight count and a unanimous decision in the three-round bout.

14-year-old Cody FoldenEdwards also subjected his oppo-

LeRose said he was dissatisfied with a lack of transparency and democratic process in Boxing BC. He predicted the momentum swing would continue in the coming years.

He welcomes everyone to come down and train – men, women, young, old, fit or not. The women’s boxercise program is popular. They’re also looking to offer services to disabled club members.

Even old-timers? “All you do is hit the bags for a couple of minutes and sit around for an hour and a half,” LeRose joked.

The Revelstoke Boxing Club will showcase its new location at an April 6 club show.

Coach and heavyweight fighter Jason Stewardson will attempt to take a provincial senior men’s belt away from Kamloops fighter Ken Huber. It will be Stewardson’s first fight since he hung up his gloves in the late ‘90s.

There are several undercard fights featuring youth boxers. The evening event starts at 6 p.m.

nent to a standing eight count before the unanimous decision.

LeRose credited volunteers and coach Jason Stewardson for assists in the wins.

LeRose said the new facility is continuing to grow the club, which is now amongst the biggest in B.C. “It’s great, it’s wonderful. We have one of the best facilities in all of Canada.”

The new location in the gym at Mount Begbie is one of several recent changes for the club.

Coach LeRose explained that the Revelstoke Boxing Club has joined an exodus away from Boxing BC to upstart organization Combsport – the British Columbia Combative Sports Association.

Why? LeRose said in the few years since it was founded, many clubs have jumped ship, meaning the numbers and better competition was with the new organization. “The shows are great. Better boxers,” he said, adding the Prince George show was sold out, with about 500 attending.

Spoiler alert: I’m going to give away the monster Hatt’s Creek, Montana has a problem. Something’s eating up the cattle, leaving dismembered bodies strewn about the bush.

Wolves? A huge grizzly bear? Apparently their conservation officer is incompetent because he can’t figure it out.

Former national TV foreign war correspondent James Parnell has been busted down a few stripes since his Iraq and Afghanistan days due to sexual dalliances. He’s there to do a story on the missing cattle.

He’s just starting to interview the locals when the action gets going. A man manages to escape an attack (minus his arm) and crashes into the light pole at the corner of Second Avenue and Mackenzie (in downtown Revelstoke, where it was filmed.)

The entire Revelstoke Theatre Company (extras) witnesses the plaid-clad man bleed out before he can tell the local sheriff what’s de-limbing men and beasts out in the forest.

To make matters worse, a 12-year-old boy has now gone missing somewhere out there.

Is it OK to laugh at a horror movie when the director and star are within earshot?

By that I mean giggle at the gory scenes that you just can’t be scared by — those shish-kebab-through-theeye-socket or feet-first-intothe-woodchipper moments that aren’t really horrific?

That question confronted me as I took in Revelstokeshot Embedded at the Roxy Theatre on Feb. 28. Director Micheal Bafaro and star Don Knowdel were within earshot for the Canadian premiere.

Why not laugh? Horrors are supposed to be fun, right?

tion is an armed posse. Along with Parnell and the sheriff’s department, they decamp to Blanket Creek (Revelstoke area) to hunt and kill the beast – whatever it may be.

Usually, suspenseful films need to quickly get you to empathize with the lead characters. Don Knowdel does well to portray James Parnell as an egocentric, womanizing jerk.

But that works against the goal; we don’t care much if he or his unsavoury posse get ripped to bits at Blanket Creek.

You could root for the killer – a scary Sasquatch who looks a bit like a hairy Dam troll doll – but unfortunately we don’t get to see the most of the gory attacks. Only some piles of blood and guts.

The found film footage works just like The Blair Witch Project – a story unintentionally told through recovered film later edited together.

Through jerky footage, we follow the dwindling posse around the edge of the Blanket Creek campsite parking lot as they get munched up by the monster.

The jerky found footage created

the biggest problem for the movie; on the big screen at the Roxy, it was enough to give you motion sickness. Really make you sick – like have to close your eyes sick.

The plot doesn’t really go anywhere once we get into the bush.

Eventually, everyone dies, except for the Sasquatch. He (she?) lives, but we never find out what motivated the beast to go nuts after its forebears so carefully concealed themselves for millennia.

The movie has a few laughs, and a few sort of scary moments.

It might be a good one to watch in the tent while camping at Blanket Creek.

War theme cut out In a Q&A after the movie, Knowdel and Bafaro said filming in Revelstoke was a pleasure.

“It’s so nice to come to a place where the people are so welcoming,” Knowdel said.

“I would shoot all of my movies here if I could,” Bafaro said. He also shot the 2002 movie The Barber here. It starred Malcolm McDow-

ell.

Bafaro said there was more commentary alluding to the war on terror in the film – a few of the characters served overseas. Embedded, after all, was the term for a reporter who was assigned to a military unit.

Dialogue criticizing war didn’t go over with film distributors.

“The Americans didn’t like that at all,” Bafaro said. “We had to cut it out.”

waiting on The contemporary Revelstoke classic Regional rival Nelson, B.C. was showcased in the 1987 classic Roxanne, while Fernie, B.C. can brag about being the setting in the 2010 comedy Hot Tub Time Machine.

In my mind, the 1937 film The Great Barrier is still the definitive made-in-Revelstoke movie. It’d be great to see a contemporary update for Revelstoke, but without a distribution deal yet, Embedded isn’t it.

Aaron Volpatti claimed by Capitals ALEX COOPER

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke’s Aaron Volpatti was on the move after being claimed off waivers by the Washington Capitals last Thursday.

“I’m excited about the opportunity here going forward. Maybe a better opportunity for myself,” the 27-year-old left-winger told the Times Review that day.

“Other than that, it was a little bit surprising all that’s happened the last little bit here.”

The 6’1”, 215-pound forward was placed on waivers by the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday, who were planning on sending him to the Chicago Wolves of the AHL to work on his over-

all game.

Instead, Volpatti is staying in the NHL after being picked up by the struggling Capitals, who, as of press time, were in 14th place in the Eastern Conference with an 8-11-1 record and were six points out of a playoff spot.

Volpatti said he had been in touch with Capitals’ General Manager George McPhee and Coach Adam Oates. He flew to Winnipeg where he met up with his teammates for his first game as a Capital on Saturday on the road against the Jets.

He recorded one shot, one hit and one fight in 5:18 of ice time.

In the fight, he got rocked by the Jets Anthony Peluso.

“I’ve got to play my game and

hopefully I can contribute a little bit more, maybe on the penalty kill and play a few more minutes,” said Volpatti before his debut. He averaged 7:18 of ice time per game with Vancouver.

Volpatti had one goal and 28 penalty minutes in 16 games with the Canucks this year. His 42 hits were second on the team behind Maxim Lapierre but he had been a healthy scratch for three of the last five Canucks’ games before being placed on waivers.

He has four goals and one assist in 55 career NHL games.

He suited up for the Capitals wearing number 24. “I’m just looking forward to a fresh start and new opportunity,” he said.

Max Scharf golden at U16 Westerns MARY CLAYTON

Revelstoke Ski Club

The Revelstoke Ski Club celebrated a big win and some great results this past weekend at the U16 Can-Am Westerns in Panorama. Max Scharf won the slalom title and was third overall, with an eighth-place finish in the Super-G. Teammate Mitch Smith came in ninth in the giant slalom and eighth in the Slalom.

This race brought together the top-seeded U16 skiers from western Canada and the western U.S., forming a highly competitive field. Head coach Ned Lazarevic was very pleased with the weekend.

“We had some awesome results racing against the best athletes from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and even some from the U.S.,” he said.

“Our skiers did an amazing job.”

The Revelstoke club’s younger racers were also competing over the weekend, at the Nancy Greene Zone Final at Apex Mountain Resort, near Penticton.

Reed Kelly came in fourth in the U8 boys and Nora Sidjak was on the podium with a silver medal in the U8 girls. In the U12 girls, Jenna Knight came in ninth. In the U12 boys, Colm Molder finished fifth and Aleks Klassen was ninth.

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

With 183 competitors, about 80 volunteers and a whole lot of parents cheering racers on, the Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club's first major competition in decades is being considered a success.

"I think it's amazing, actually. I think it went super-well," said club president Dave Kaegi following the Teck BC Midget Championships.

The two-day event saw skiers aged 9-12 from across British Columbia and Washington state descend on Mt. Macpherson for classic and skate-skiing races, as well as a banquet and dance.

The weekend started off wet, with rain soaking the area Saturday morning. Still, the skiers shook off the water for the classic races. Separated by birth year, the skiers all competed on a 2.5-kilometre course. The winners were: 2003 girls: Sophie Van Varseveld (Larch Hills, Salmon Arm) 2003 boys: Trond May (Larch Hills) 2002 girls: Emmy Stapff (Strathcona) 2002 boys: Stephen Moore (Larch Hills) 2001 girls: Molly Miller (Kimberley) 2001 boys: Sean Richardson (Hollyburn, Vancouver) 2000 girls: Maxine Forder (Hollyburn) 2000 boys: Michael Murdoch (Whistler) Highlights were Revelstoke were Jaclyn Elliot finishing fourth amongst 2003 girls and Nelson Luxmoore finishing fourth amongst 2003 boys.

That afternoon, the teams took

part in the relay races, with four skiers racing around a 1.5-kilometre course. Here, Revelstoke's girls team of Alana Brittin, Beth Granstrom, Kate Granstrom and Elizabeth Elliott, made their mark, racing to first place, nearly one minute ahead of second place Hollyburn. Matt Smider, the coach of the RNSC called their performance "incredible."

"They are consistently pushing each other and are great friends off the course, which means they're day in and day out working together as a team," he said. "I think at a young age they're going to be a force on the B.C. ski circuit for years to come."

On Sunday, the racers convened for the sprint – a rapidfire series of skate-skiing races around a 300-metre course lined with volunteers and cheering parents and coaches. The morning started off chilly and the course was nice and hard, but it eventually warmed up, the sun came out and the track softened up with it.

The atmosphere was electric as the racers went through heat after heat, with the winners of each birth year eventually decided: 2003 girls: Elle Johnston (Whistler) 2003 boys: Trond May (Larch Hills) 2002 girls: Maggie Beckner (Larch Hills) 2002 boys: Stephen Moore (Larch Hills) 2001 girls: Holly Miller (Kimberley) 2001 boys: Joe Davies (Whistler) 2000 girls: Maxine Forder (Hollyburn) 2000 boys: Ross Lamon (Strathcona)

Highlights for Revelstoke were Elizabeth Elliott (third, 2000 girls), Alana Brittin (fourth, 2000 girls) and Emily MacLeod (fifth, 2003 girls).

Overall, Larch Hills finished first with 143 points, followed by Strathcona with 125. Revelstoke finished third with 93 points.

"I'm really impressed with the ability to perform under the pressure of an event at home," said Smider of his skiers. "Several athletes performed to a level that they were not expecting. Several new athletes shined through the event, which is quite spectacular considering the calibre of the competition."

There were a few other awards given out. Elizabeth MacDowell of Revelstoke won the girl's heart award for overcoming a bad case of nerves and helping her teammates compete in the skate skiing and classic skiing relays.

The boys winner was Marek Van Bylandt of the Hollyburn Nordic Ski Club, who raced with a broken boot buckle but still placed respectably. Arianna Morrone of Revestoke was one of four winners of the classic skiing technique award – not bad for her first race ever.

Feedback on the event from visiting racers, coaches and parents was great, said Kaegi. He credited the organizing committee and volunteers with their hard work. "It came off flawlessly," he said. "My colleagues seem pretty pumped, especially when you get this great feedback. The volunteers all seemed to really enjoy it too. It was good."

"I think we've got more depth in scoring, we're bigger and stronger, but I don't want to say too much or read into anything."

That's what Sicamous Eagles coach Wayne March said before the series between his team and the Revelstoke Grizzlies. While the season series between the teams was pretty much even, March's words proved prescient after his team completed a 4-1 victory over the Grizzlies in the opening round of the KIJHL playoffs last Thursday.

Throughout all five games, Sicamous – with many players returning from last year's semifinal run – looked bigger, stronger, faster and more experienced.

“Sicamous proved to the more experienced team, the more deeper team than we were," said coach Kevin Kraus following the series' end. "We didn't show up and in playoffs you need every guy to show up. We only had a handful guys show up for the whole series.

It sucks. I was expecting a lot better effort."

The teams split the opening two games in Sicamous, with Revelstoke goaltender Aaron Brandoli making 46 saves in game one to lead his team to a 2-1 win. After that, the series was all Sicamous.

In game two, the Eagles peppered Brandoli with 55 shots, winning 5-2.

The series returned to Revelstoke, last Monday and Tuesday, with the Eagles winning 6-3 and 6-2 respectively. Both games featured similar patterns, with the Eagles jumping out to early 4-0 leads and then cruising to victory, utilizing a strong forecheck to pressure the Grizzlies defence, keep them hemmed in their own zone and preventing them from mounting any sort of a comeback.

On Monday, Feb. 25, Brayden Taekema, Steven Powers, Dominick Hodges and Alex Dartnall scored first period goals for Sicamous before Brayden Beckley got Revelstoke on the board

late in the frame. Beckley's second goal of the game 16 seconds into the second period got the Grizzlies within two, but they were never able to get any closer. Brendan Devries scored for Sicamous five minutes later and Dylan Ossman countered for Revelstoke on the powerplay with 6:19 left in the period. In the third, Sicamous got the clinching goal from Jordan Harder and coasted to a 6-3 win.

Game four on Tuesday, Feb. 26, was much the same. Taekema, Devries and Quinn Rempel scored for the Eagles in the first, and Taekema scored his second of the game early in the third to once again put Sicamous up 4-0.

Goals by Nathan Grieve and Nicholas Asasiewicz 48 seconds apart early in the third gave the Eagles an insurmountable 6-0 lead. There was a glimmer or hope when Austin Donaldson and Dylan Ossman responded quickly for Revelstoke.

That was followed shortly after by a Grizzlies power play but once Sicamous killed that off, the game was sealed.

"We couldn't do anything. We couldn't pass, we couldn't get to the net, we couldn't break out, we couldn't get a bounce in our own arena," said Kraus following game four. "Everything seemed to go their way and they deserve it. They came to play the last three games and either we haven't or they're that good."

For game five, the teams returned to Sicamous. As had been the case the previous three games, the Revelstoke Grizzlies once again found themselves behind early, with Corbin Marcotte and Devries scoring first period goals for the Eagles. This time, the Grizzlies responded, getting goals from Donaldson and Beckley to tie up the game before the midway point of the second period.

A late period collapse by the Grizzlies would end up being the difference. Devries, Dominick Hodges and Taekema scored 3:30 apart for Sicamous, giving the Eagles a 5-2 lead heading into the third.

Revelstoke was unable to

mount a comeback, losing the game 5-2 and the series 4-1. Once again Sicamous outshot Revelstoke by a wide margin, this time 48-33.

"We expected to push Sicamous a lot more than we did," said Kraus. "To only beat them once and never have a close game after the one win, we were disappointed in that because we all knew we were better than that. It was more embarassing, I think, than anything."

With the season over, the players were each debriefed by coach Kraus and have dispersed back to their hometowns (except for those who call Revelstoke home).

"I told them to learn from this," said Kraus. "Don't just lose, remember how you feel right now and remember the reasons that we lost. Think of things you could have done differently and bring those to your game next year and come prepared to play better the whole hockey season."

For Kraus, recruitment for next year will begin in April with the team's spring camp in Vernon. After that, he'll attend a number of Junior A camps and player showcases. He said this year was a learning experience for him.

"It was a trial and error year for me, never being a head coach before, you have to mistakes to get better," he said. "I'm honestly disappointed that we didn't get farther. I'll take full blame for that, I will take the heat." *** The Revelstoke Grizzlies held its award banquet on Sunday. The winners were: • MVP: Austin Donaldson • Best defenceman: Andrew Standish • Best rookie: Brayden Beckley • Leading scorer: Austin Donaldson • Unsung hero: TJ Christensen • Most dedicated: Brendan Androsoff and Dallas Flockhart • Most improved: TJ Christensen • Most sportsmanlike: Jordan Furlane

Bantam Grizzlies off to provincial championships Earl Hunt

Revelstoke Minor Hockey

This past weekend the Speers Construction Bantam Team defeated the Kelowna Rockets 6-3 to earn a spot in the 2012/13 Provincials in Dawson Creek – Mile “0” of the world famous Alaska Highway – from March 16–22.

Revelstoke faced a strong opponent in the Okanagan finals, however their compete level and will to win was too much for the Kelowna team to overcome.

This is the first time this group of kids have reached the B.C. championship and they were ecstatic after the final buzzer went off in front of a large, boisterous crowd at the Rutland West Arena. Support for the Revelstoke team did not go

unnoticed, with family and friends from Revelstoke and the Okanagan Valley cheering the boys to victory.

This has been a remarkable year for the Bantam team, whose success stems from their commitment on and off the ice. Family, school and supporting each other were the priorities for this team throughout the year, with the overall goal winning a provincial championship. This recipe has worked for this group of players to date but they realize they have a lot of work ahead of them over the next three weeks. It should also be noted that this team was the least penalized during league and playoff competition.

The provincial championship tournament will be an incredible experience. Representatives from each zone of the province will be

participating in an attempt to bring home the championship banner. At this time it’s not known who the teams will be but the coaching staff fully expect the opposition to be well prepared for competition.

Over the next two weeks the bantam team will continue with their preparation on and off the ice, including fundraising throughout our community and abroad in an attempt to raise sufficient funds for their journey up north. The support has been tremendous to date but a final push will be on in order to reach their fundraising goal.

The Revelstoke bantam team includes players from Sicamous and Revelstoke. This is the third time in recent years a Bantam team from Revelstoke has received the approval from Sicamous Minor

The Bantam Grizzlies include Brett Alm, Seth Bafaro, Keyon Bittner, Taylor deGroot, Brayden Fairly, Hayden Gjaltema, Peter Grimm, Jesse Olson, Josh Pilon, Mac Reynolds, Liam Sutherland, Nii Noi Tettah, Ullar Wiatzka, Jaden Williams and Raymond Speerbrecker.

Contributed

Hockey to support our local Bantam program, who have gone onto represent the Okanagan Zone in the provincials. For those that travel the

Sicamous-Revelstoke highway in the winter months, you’ll appreciate the commitment made from the parents of both associations.

In Memoriam

In memory of my precious husband

Henk van Goor

who left my loving arms on March 7th 2009.

The love of a wonderful husband, is something that always lives on.

Filling the days with precious memories, long after his presence is gone.

I will always feel the warmth of his caring, his memory will never part.

For the love of a wonderful husband, will forever live on inside my heart.

Ik miss je zo en ik hou van jou, Hennie

ON THE WEB:

Lieve Pappa, Opa and great-Opa, Your presence we miss, Your memory we treasure, Loving you always, Forgetting you never. your loving children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren

Predeceased by her husband of 59 years, Wally, as well as her brother Arthur and sister Alma, she is survived by her children Kathy (Knud), Gary (Leslie), Jack (Brenda) and Patti, grandchildren Chris (Michelle), Jeff, Evan, Brendan, Emily, Alex, Justin, and Shannon, greatgrandchildren Adam and Anna, and brother Armando (Olive).

Born at Queen Victoria Hospital on May 4, 1921, our mother was a graduate of Revelstoke High School and was working at the CPR when she met Wally. Their lives together took them to Nelson, back to Revelstoke, Vancouver, and finally to Salmon Arm in 1984 for their retirement years.

While busy raising four active children, our mother always took time to attend mass on Sundays, serve the elderly by participating in Meals-onWheels, and look after the less fortunate by having physically challenged children join us at our property on Kootenay Lake for an afternoon of fun. Happiest around family and friends, a perfect day for our mother was one spent on Shuswap Lake tending her flowers and surrounded by her grandchildren, and ending with a huge family meal topped off by one of her famous apple pies, generally considered to be the best ever made.

A celebration of life service for our mother and father will be held at 11a.m. on April 12, 2013, at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Revelstoke. We would like to express our gratitude to the staff of Arbor House in Salmon Arm for the excellent care provided our parents over the past few years.
