Elementary," he told the Times Review. "In terms of formalized traffic calming, the city doesn't have a formalized policy at this stage."

Mike Hooker, the superintendent of the Revelstoke School District, said he hadn't heard any concerns about speeding on Ninth Street. He said concerns were more around the movement of children to and from the schools.

Davis said the biggest problem was from people driving to and from the arena. She has accosted hockey moms, she said. "It's harder to get adults to slow down."

Thomas said traffic calming measures like chicanes or speed bumps could be put in place, but the pros and cons would have to be looked at. While they can help slow people down, they also present problems, such as noise and snow clearing issues.

"There's things that we can do, it's just whether they're the right things to do, it's what we need to work out," said Thomas. "We don't want to limit access, we just want to control the speed."

Dean Pratico was known for chasing down and yelling at people speeding through the school zone on Ninth Street, but he wasn't alone amongst his neighbours.

"I've walked in front of cars more times than I can tell you because people are speeding. All of us do it," said Sandra Davis.

"There's a few of us that are rabid and Dean was one."

Davis, who lived near Pratico on Ninth Street, said there are frequent issues with people speeding through the school zone along their road. The street runs alongside Queen Elizabeth Park, a park that is very popular with families, and there are two schools nearby.

"When people speed down this street, they tend to not go 40 or 50, they tend to go 70 or 80," said Davis. "Those people in this neighbourhood with kids, I've seen so many close calls. The little ones in the playground, they come screaming out on to the road without even looking. It was a matter of time before someone got hit,

just not in this matter."

Ninth Street is a school zone with a posted speed limit of 30 kilometres per hour. There are signs on Ninth east of Vernon Avenue and on Mackenzie Avenue heading towards the schools.

There are more lawn signs placed along the street reminding people there are kids playing and to slow down.

Davis said she has raised the matter with the City of Revelstoke and Mayor David Raven in the past. She said she was told that when the new schools were being proposed, traffic calming measures were being planned for Ninth.

Mike Thomas, the city's director of engineering and development, said he hasn't seen any evidence of plans for traffic calming on Ninth Street, nor was it an issue that had come across his desk.

"I do have a meeting coming up with the school district to discuss pedestrian and children safety along that corridor, and certainly traffic calming is one of the things we'll be talking about, especially the intersection for Begbie View

BCTF's multi-stage strike action that began April 23. Teachers are refusing out-of-class supervision and communication with administration as the first phase.

B.C.'s Labour Relations Act allows for the transfer of benefit costs to unions that withdraw services, but Cameron said it has never been used in a teacher dispute before.

BCTF president Jim Iker said last week he considers the transfer of benefit costs to be "retaliatory and punitive" at a time when teachers are still providing full classroom service and meeting with parents.

BCPSEA also notified the union that a year-end "administrative day" set for June 27 will be cancelled unless the dispute is settled.

Teachers would lose a day's pay.

The second phase of the BCTF

plan is rotating one-day strikes in B.C.'s 60 school districts, which could begin at any time. Phase three, a full-scale strike, would require another vote by BCTF members.

In a memo to school board chairs and superintendents Wednesday, BCPSEA interim CEO Mike Roberts said there has been "no recent progress at the bargaining table and no indication from the union that it is willing to significantly compromise on any of its current demands."

Roberts reiterated BCPSEA's position that its wage offer of 6.5% over six years is consistent with other wage settlements for provincial employees. The BCTF is seeking wage and cost-of-living increases estimated at 13.5% over three years.

Dean Pratico’s family and friends remember the “gentle giant” Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Dean Pratico lived a life of adventure that began when he was young. He drove across Canada, lived on the beach in Mexico, backpacked across Europe, sailed across the Caribbean, and made trips to Thailand and China.

He was obsessed with cars, something that would last his entire life.

“I lost him one time and I found him downtown in a car,” said his mother Marie. “He was pretending he was driving.”

I spoke to Marie at her home last Friday, less than a week after her son had passed away at the age of 55, the result of an altercation that police are still investigating. Joining us were Dean’s wife, Ping, and daughter, Pearl. They were coming to terms with the terrible tragedy, each in their own places — Ping shedding the most tears, Pearl showing composure beyond her years, and Marie somewhere in between.

“I called him my one in a million dad,” said Pearl. “He was a million things into one dad.”

Dean was born on Dec. 26, 1958, the son of Vince and Marie Pratico. Marie showed me a photo album Dean’s sister Julie made for him on his 40th birthday. It showed him as a baby, then growing up through kindergarten, his first communion, onwards through school, on the road and at work. There were photos of him hiking Mt. Begbie, skiing in the mountains, on the beach in Mexico and everywhere else.

The album began with a poem Julie wrote that captured his adventurous spirit.

“Where he could be now they all would say…was a common phrase heard throughout the day,” she wrote. “And how could a child bring such

joy.”

Dean’s biggest love when he was young was hockey. He was good, and he played Junior hockey for the Merritt Centennials. That almost didn’t happen when he was involved in a serious car crash as a teenager.

“They thought he would never walk again but he came back,” said Marie.

Dean would spend what time he could in the mountains, hiking into remote areas with his friends, said Marie.

He worked as a logger and at the dam. At the insistence of his father, he took a refrigeration course that he never finished.

He worked as a bartender in Calgary and managed a Moxie’s restaurant before coming back to Revelstoke, where he bought and ran the Burger Junction. He worked there until his rheumatoid arthritis forced him to go on disability.

“He liked nice things. That frustrated him, his arthritis,” said Marie. “He was a frustrated man because he couldn’t do the things he wanted to do.

He didn’t want to be on a disability. It killed him.”

A decade ago Dean met his wife Ping online. He made a trip to China to visit her. On the second trip, for Ping’s sister’s wedding, he asked her father if he could marry her. The father was hesitant to let her daughter marry this man from Canada.

“Dean told my dad we had best country and nice family, just like your family,” said Ping. He won him over.

On his third trip to China in early 2005 Dean and Ping got married. He gave her a photo album of his family so she would know who she would be meeting in Canada “Dean cried. That was the first time I see Dean cry,” she said. “I live here 10 years, I never see him cry — just this time.”

They lived in China together

for 1.5 years and he would bring her flowers at work. They had a daughter, Pearl, and then they moved to Revelstoke after Dean’s father, Vince, passed away.

Their marriage wasn’t always easy.

“In our 10 years we had good times, we had bad times.

We hate each other, we love each other,” said Ping. “It’s a very hard time because these last two weeks he gave so much to remember. He was a good husband.”

Pearl said Dean gave her advice, comfort and confidence. “He would never give up on me,” she said.

“He would always make me try harder and he would say that the people who make it get the things that they want in life, and the people who don’t make it are the people who don’t get the special memories in life.”

On Ninth Street, near the spot where Pratico’s death happened, several bouquets of flowers were placed in the fence alongside Queen Elizabeth Park. There was a card signed by the Davis family.

“The two words that my husband uses and has always used to describe Dean is ‘gentle giant,’ which is why all of this is so unbelievable,” said neighbour and friend Sandra Davis.

She called him a “very kind, very sweet man.”

“My most vivid memory of him is him walking hand in hand with his daughter,” he said. “He always would take his daughter’s little purple Dora backpack and sling it over his shoulder.”

Marie said that even though Dean traveled a lot, Revelstoke was always his home and the place he would come back to.

“He had a love of people, Revelstoke and the mountains,” she said. “He loved life and he loved people.”

January trial for man accused of drowning his wife at Shelter Bay CAM FORTENS

Kamloops This Week

A man accused of killing his wife by pushing her off a boat at a lake near Revelstoke is scheduled to stand trial in January of 2015.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Meiklem has set aside six months for Peter Beckett’s trial by jury on charges of first-degree murder, counselling to commit murder and obstruction of justice.

If it lasts as long as it is sched-

Meiklem replied: “I thought the decision was in your favour, more or less.”

Beckett is now appealing some decisions made on his applications, but Meiklem warned that won’t delay trial.

“You haven’t been diligent on your defence,” Meiklem said.

“You’ve been diligent on the offensive side.”

uled, the trial will mark one of the longest in recent memory at the Kamloops Law Courts.

in that country.

It’s been 32 months since he was arrested and charged with his wife’s murder.

The Crown alleges he killed Laura Letts-Beckett, 50, by pushing her off a boat at Shelter Bay, south of Revelstoke, in 2010.

He was arrested a year later.

Police also believe Beckett plotted to kill five witnesses — including Letts-Beckett’s parents, an RCMP sergeant and an Alberta lawyer — while behind bars.

Beckett has spent his time at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, where he said he is locked up 22 hours a day.

There, he has been filing applications alleging abuse of process, bias by police and court officials and failure of Crown to disclose documents.

Meiklem recently handed down a ruling that allowed Beckett access to the large majority of paper documents he sought.

The Crown was planning to give him electronic access, but Beckett complained he was not comfortable with technology and accused officials with tampering with electronic documents.

“I’ve read your decision,” he told Meiklem on Monday, April 28. “[The words] ‘surprising,’ ‘credulous’, ‘inaccurate’ and ‘biased’ come to mind,” Beckett complained.

Beckett ordered to return computer drive Beckett was ordered to return a computer hard drive he managed to smuggle out of Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre.

A B.C. Supreme Court Justice made the ruling on Tuesday, April 29, as part of a lengthy disclosure application by Beckett.

Beckett filed an application asking the Crown to provide him 33,000 pages of disclosure documents rather than reading them via computer files.

He earlier received DVDs and a computer hard drive with the Crown disclosure documents, which would ordinarily be handled by his lawyer.

But, he smuggled them out of jail and they remain missing.

“Mr. Beckett has admitted to sending the e-disclosure media [DVDs and computer hard drive] out of KRCC and he does not have it at this time,” Meiklem said in a written decision released on Tuesday, April 29.

“He refuses to say why or to whom, except to say it is ‘in a safe place.’”

Meiklem ordered Beckett to return the missing DVDs and hardware to the Crown.

“He has control over the person who possesses it and that person has the capacity to return it to the Crown,” Meiklem wrote.

Once Beckett returns the drive and DVDs to prosecutors, Meiklem said the Crown will provide him new e-disclosure, along with about 500 pages of paper documents needed to conduct his defence.

Revelstoke to get coroner Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The BC Coroners Service is hiring in Revelstoke, a move that will hopefully fill a void that has been missing in the community for a number of years.

“We can tell you we’re seeking a suitable person to serve in the coroner’s position just to service Revelstoke,” said Barb McLintock, a spokesperson for the coroners service. “We don’t want to get too enthusiastic because in many of the smaller communities we do find that it takes time to find the right person and get them trained. There are unique staffing, training and logistical challenges.”

Revelstoke has been without a coroner for years, and instead the service has been provided by Tim Loader out of Golden. Often that has led to extensive delays in the coroner reaching the scene of an accident, delaying investigations.

Last year, McLintock said Revelstoke was without a coroner because there wasn’t enough cases here to warrant hiring one. She said a change in the way staffing is determined has meant they are now seeking applications for a coroner based out of Revelstoke.

“We like to provide communities with the best service we can if we can find a way to make it work,” she said.

Minister Bill Bennett denies role in conservation officer decision ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Minister Bill Bennett is denying any involvement in the decision to remove the conservation officer position from Revelstoke.

Bennett was implicated in the decision after documents received through a freedom of information request indicated he gave approval for the position to be moved from the community.

"Lori just heard back from the Minister’s office and Minister Bennett is supportive of moving the position in Revelstoke," wrote Danielle Jmieff, the division issues manager for BC Parks and the Conservation Officer Service (COS), in an e-mail.

The e-mail was sent to Doug Forsdick, the chief superintendent of the COS. Lori is likely Lori Halls, the assistant deputy minister for BC Parks and the COS. The documents were obtained through a freedom of information request and provided to the Times Review by Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald (NDP).

“Input from the community of Revelstoke was neither asked for nor included in the decision to remove Revelstoke’s conservation officer. Instead, the ministry was more interested in consulting

with Bill Bennett, the MLA for Kootenay East, who supported this very serious cut to the community,” said Macdonald, in a news release. "It is beyond ridiculous that the way decisions are made on such important issues is for an entire ministry of professionals to await the final word of a guy who knows absolutely nothing about the conservation service or the community of Revelstoke.”

Bennett responded by calling the accusation "inaccurate" and "just not true." He said as the lone government MLA in the Kootenays, he was notified about the decision as he often is when matters come up regarding the region, but that was the extent of his involvement.

"It's not my ministry, it's not my riding. I'm not in a position, nor do I have the authority or the expertise to sign off on this decision or post a decision," he told the Times Review. "Until today, I hadn't even remembered this issue coming across my desk.

I'm responsible for energy and mines, I'm responsible for core review. I don't have the time or the interest to be involved in all of my colleagues decisions."

Revelstoke lost its conservation officer in December when Adam Christie retired and his position was transferred to

Golden. The move has been widely condemned by local stakeholders, who fear it will lead to increased poaching, human-wildlife conflict and other violations.

Much of the information obtained in the FoI request is redacted and little is revealed about the conservation officer decision. The COS is part of the Ministry of the Environment, whose minister is MLA Mary Polak.

The 87-page response to the request for access to information contain letters to the Ministry of the Environment from Macdonald, Revelstoke Bear Aware and the Revelstoke Rod and Gun Club that have already been made public; as well as numerous internal e-mails discussing how to communicate the decision to the public and respond to media requests.

The response does contain statistics on response calls in Revelstoke, Golden and Invermere.

The data shows there were fewer calls to the COS in Revelstoke than in Golden and Invermere, but any analysis of the information, or justification for the decision is not included. Dozens of pages are redacted, citing clauses in the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act that allow information to be withheld.

The Columbia Kootenay zone has four conservation officers — two in Golden, two in Invermere and none in Revelstoke.

Ministry Of Environment Image

In a letter to the Times Review sent in January, Polak said they have two officers in Golden and two in Invermere, “would provide the best level of service to the entire [Columbia Kootenay] zone.

“The review was based on location and types of complaints and calls received through the region, and took into consideration the safety and wellbeing of our officers,” Polak wrote.

Nakusp mayor takes issue with editor’s column Editor, Re: A familiar face returns to the Times Review, from the Apr. 23, 2014, issue of the Times Review.

Council read your comments in the Revelstoke Times Review and thought that maybe in the short three months you were here you misconstrued our quiet and nonconfrontational way of working together as an indication that we are a sleepy little Village and not interested in growth or tourism.

On the contrary, we welcome it. The Development Board, Chamber of Commerce and Village have been working together to try and make this happen. We would love to have industry and business move into our town and provide more jobs and fill our schools.

We do want our Revelstoke neighbours to know that we are interested in tourism and welcome them to our hot springs. We recently renewed our commitment to the Nakusp Hot Springs and built a brand new, award winning bridge up at the hot springs.

We also purchased the Cedar Chalets as we saw an opportunity to market the Nakusp Hot Springs as a package and are in the process of upgrading the units. In fact, our tourism has grown with these improvements.

It is not really appropriate to compare Nakusp and Revelstoke when you consider the amount of property tax collected in Nakusp is below $900,000 whereas in Revelstoke it is more than $9,000,000.

Contrary to your comment that we do a minimum amount of work and do not take

What a deck!

on challenges – in the past couple of years, we have upgraded our water and sewer system so that we can handle new development, upgraded our arena and built an emergency services building that houses our fire dept., ambulance, search and rescue and regional training centre.

One comment that I continually hear from visitors to our community is how clean Nakusp is, how well our streets are plowed(in the winter), our beautiful walkway and gardens and how amazed they are at the services provided in such a small community.

We are proud of our community and welcome business and visitors.

Karen Hamling, Mayor of Nakusp

Everyone who caught the performance of Deck at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre on Friday, Apr. 25, came away impressed by Lucas Myers’ one-man performance. During the play, he actually had six audience members come out on stage and build a deck. The materials for the deck were donated by RONA, and they weren’t just stage props. After the show, the deck was brought to the Community Connections’ group home on Eighth Street. It is pictured here with staff, residents, Revelstoke Arts Council executive director Gary Pendergast, and RONA’s Steve Smith.

Changes coming to curbside recycling in Revelstoke Contributed by CITY OF REVELSTOKE

Beginning May 19, 2014, businesses that supply packaging and printed paper to B.C. residents will be responsible for collecting and managing these materials so they can be recycled. MultiMaterial BC (MMBC), a non-profit organization working on behalf of these businesses, will be responsible for residential recycling programs in many areas across B.C., either directly or by working with local governments.

Through MMBC's packaging

and printed paper recycling program, Revelstoke residents will continue to receive biweekly recycling pick up of blue bags. Additional products being collected in the curbside program include: — Plastic milk jugs, milk and other gable cartons, hot and cold paper beverage cups, aluminum foil packaging, and plant pots.

— Glass will continue to be recycled at the depot.

— Plastic film packaging will no longer be collected in curbside collection, but will be collected at the depot beginning Jan. 1, 2015, along with foam containers and

foam packaging.

For a full list of what is accepted for recycling visit recyclinginbc.ca or the city website at revelstoke.ca In discussing these changes, Mike Thomas, the city's Director of Engineering and Development, indicated that, "Under the new regulations, residents will have access to curbside recycling services at the lowest possible cost, with municipal recycling fees dropping to zero by 2015."

The City of Revelstoke will continue to provide recycling collection services for the res-

idents of Revelstoke, on behalf of MMBC, until the end of 2014. In January 2015 MMBC will assume full responsibility for the contracting of recycling collection in Revelstoke. The current $40 annual cost of recycling will be reduced to $20 on the City of Revelstoke 2014 property tax notice and further reduced to zero in 2015.

Mayor David Raven, in commenting on this initiative stated, "The city appreciates the leader-

ship and innovation of BRESCO working with the city and regional district to initiate curb side recycling in Revelstoke. Over the last three years over 1,000 tons of recyclable material has been diverted from the landfill with all of the environmental and economic benefits.

“The city looks forward to working with MMBC and their contractors to continue this success story.”

RONALD'S RAVE REVIEW

Helping out Chris, Joanne & Regan Shane Volpatti (left) and Peter Bernacki (right) were at the Revelstoke Credit Union last week while RCU CEO Roberta Bobicki placed $500 in a trust fund for Chris Miller. Miller had a stroke in January and he has been hospitalized ever since. A trust fund was set up at the credit union to help out his wife Joanne Lachance and daughter Regan while he recovers. Miller, who worked as an electrician with Canyon Industrial, was a very active snowmobiler and mountain biker. He is facing a lengthy recovery, friends say. To contribute to the Chris Miller Trust Fund, head to the Revelstoke Credit Union and place a donation in account 334459. As of last week, there was $1,350 in the account, including the $500 from the credit union.

Most of the action was centred around the six black jack tables, which stayed busy throughout the night. There was also several big wheels, live music by The Rev, and a high-stakes Texas Hold’em tournament in the back. The event raised money for new playground equipment in Kovach Park.

Rain on market day

1

It wasn’t a great debut for the Revelstoke Farm & Craft Market on Saturday.

Shoppers and vendors were in short supply due to the torrential rain, howling winds and cold temperatures that day. Or maybe it was due to the online controversy surrounding Kurt’s Sausages. There are legitimate reasons for Kurt’s to not be part of the market, but the executive has done a poor job communicating its decisions.

The market wasn’t the only event hampered by the weather — the Relay for Life kick off party and talent show that was supposed to take place on First Street was cancelled after the winds started to knock down the stage. By 11 a.m., organizers were taking things down. The Talent Show qualification round will now take place during the Relay for Life, which is on Sunday, June 8.

She sells intarsia products — a technique of interlaying pieces of wood to create images.

New owner turns Chantilly into Big Mountain Kitchen & Linen

Business Beat

by Alex Cooper

Business Beat is a column that was started by former Times Review editor Aaron Orlando. I’ve decided to take it over, as I like the idea of having a column to highlight good business news. This is where you’ll read about new owners, expanding businesses and other news about existing businesses in Revelstoke. If you have news for me, e-mail editor@revelstoketimesreview.com or call 250-837-4667.

S

ince taking over Chantilly Kitchen, Bed and Bath at the start of the year, new owner Nicole Cherlet has been slowly putting her mark on the Mackenzie Avenue Store. There’s been

Nicole Cherlet is the owner of Big Mountain Kitchen & Linen — formerly Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review Chantilly Kitchen, Bed & Bath.

changes to the layout, but the biggest one came last week when – after closing for three days – she reopened the store with a new name — Big Mountain Kitchen & Linen.

Cherlet worked at the store for three years under former owner Deannie Ottenbreit. Last year she began managing the store and took over purchasing. Then, with the backing of Community Futures,

she was able to purchase the business outright.

“It was always part of the plan that if everything went well it might be something I’d be interested in taking over,” said Cherlet. “Last year I was managing and took over purchasing, so I already put my stamp on the business.”

What is her stamp? Nicole’s husband Glen is a chef and they are

both big foodies. They like to cook from scratch, so you’ll find the tools needed to do that. As a result, Big Mountain has a greater focus on cookware and prepware, while the dinnerware and glassware has been moved to the back of the store.

“We both really like food. We like to play with the toys and have the right tools,” said Cherlet. “The focus is more now on the cookware, on the prep gadgets, the cast iron — things like that.”

Their own kitchen has been slowly upgraded from Thrift Store finds to more expensive items that work better and last longer.

“It was a nice thing as I started working here to replace things in the house and having them still be working now,” she said. “It’s nice to be upgrading instead of constantly replacing things.”

Big Mountain also carries a bigger selection of bedroom and bathroom products than before; the aim being people will find what they want there and not have to order online or go out of town. There’s five different lines of sheets that come in different sizes and a variety of colours.

“I’ve got five different lines of sheets. I’ve got all sizes, a good variety of colours,” said Cherlet.

“Same thing with bathroom. I’ve updated all the accessories. I’ve got three different lines of towels, a nice selection of bathmats, huge selection of shower curtains — the things that seem to be important to people.”

Cherlet makes sure to buy products from ethical manufacturers, saying she makes sure what she sells doesn’t come from places that exploits workers.

She plans to start an online store, with a wedding registry, and she wants to work with other businesses in town so they cross-promote each other rather than compete.

“Let’s all work together and bring Revelstoke what everyone needs,” she said. “Keep everyone shopping here instead of having to go elsewhere.”

Let’s bring back play this summer Spring is finally here and with it, the sounds of laughter and kids playing are in the air once again. Bike rides, shooting hoops and playground fun are just some of the ways kids get active in the spring and summer months.

It’s a good thing too, because recent reports show that Canadian kids just aren’t getting enough exercise. According to the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology, kids should get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every single day.

Unfortunately, for many children that simply isn’t the case.

This spring and summer, consider enrolling your child in an organized sport or physical activity, such as soccer, baseball, swimming or cricket. Freida Rubletz, Regional Manager, Jumpstart Programs Greater Toronto Area, Canadian Tire Jumpstart, explains that in addition to the physical benefits, organized play also helps to: • Increase self esteem and self confidence • Develop leadership skills

• Improve academic performance • Teach healthy lifestyle habits “As important as physical activity is for our young people, the reality is that 1 in 3 families in Canada can’t afford to enrol their kids in organized sports or physical activity programs,” continued Rubletz. “Charities like Jumpstart remove some of those financial pressures so all kids can have the opportunity to get in the game.”

Help bring back play in your community this May by supporting the Jumpstart Red Ball campaign. Head into your local Canadian Tire, Mark’s, Sport Chek, Atmosphere or National Sports store and donate $2 in exchange for your own Jumpstart Red Ball, representing the gift of play you are giving to a deserving child.

ing a change room. A big focus will be on improving tech support, said Gravelle.

“We’re going to work hard on our tech support because Revelstokians are pretty hard on their gear,” he said. “We need to be able to fix it on site. No more sending it away to Toronto of Vancouver to get fixed.”

They will be sharing the duties of running the store, with each one focusing on specific areas.

Becker does a lot of the graphic design and web work. Bradbury will focus more on the purchasing and financial side. Gravelle will be getting out in the community more.

“We’re all doing the customer thing — that’s what we’re focused on,” said Becker. “The front line staff is going to be very key for sure.”

“StokeFM tagged along,” said Duke.

StokeFM has grown steadily since it was launched in late 2011. Duke said the station has 140 partner businesses and its advertising has been almost completely sold out for the past eight months.

Short term plans involve branding the new space.

“Beyond that we’re focusing on a digital push. For the next five, six months that’s our focus, to expand the brand out of town,” said Duke. “We’re never going to expand that far with our terrestrial reach because we can only broadcast to Revelstoke, but online we can go much further.”

Board Meeting

S

tokeFM has moved off the mountain into downtown Revelstoke, with a new studio on Second Street East that manager Scott Duke hopes will give the station more visibility.

“It’s going to be a better location for people to come to,” he said. “We’ve had more visitors here in 12 days than the last three or four months. That’s good because you want people to come in and talk on the radio, talk about their events.”

The studio was started in the basement of Duke’s home on CPR Hill. It is now located upstairs at 111 Second St. East, next door to Benoit’s Wine Bar (which closed down at the end of last month). It shares an office with Revelstoke Property Services, the property management company Duke owns with his girlfriend Eve Northmore.

The move came because they needed more office space for the property management company.

He hopes to get online listenership up to 100 people (it was at 34 when I dropped by the studio), but the ultimate goal is 1,000.

“If we get people listening online and develop an online community, we can draw people to our town using the radio station,” he said. “It can be another avenue of drawing people to Revelstoke.”

shop have been bought out by two store employees, giving the Revelstoke store entirely local ownership.

“I think having three owners all in town will really make a difference,” said Isaac Becker, Skookum’s manager for the past two years and new part-owner.

“We’re going to be here full-time.

We’re able to do stuff in the community and run the shop.”

Skookum opened in Revelstoke in 2007 when Salmon Arm store owners bought up High Country Cycle. Two years ago, Mike Gravelle, who had moved here from Whistler, bought a share in the store alongside the two Salmon Arm owners.

Now, Becker and Tyler Bradbury have bought out the Salmon Arm group, giving Skookum an entirely local ownership.

Becker’s past includes working retail in Victoria and at Mount Washington. He spent six years as a landscaper before moving to Revelstoke and getting back into retail. Bradbury (who was on vacation last week) spent 10 years as a sales rep for a major ski company before joining Skookum.

“He’s coming from the other side of the shop, which is a very important role because he knows how to wheel and deal and get what we need so we can grow,” said Gravelle.

Gravelle said having three owners who live here will give the store a bigger presence in the community.

“It’s important to get out there and communicate and show your face,” he said. “Now that I have two partners that can hold down the store while I go outside, that makes a big difference.

“It’s a small town, just going for coffee you can make some sales.”

They don’t have any major plans for the store – the name is staying the same – but they are making small changes, like add-

It may be difficult to imagine, but at one time the land that occupies the Revelstoke Airport was home to a farm large enough to supply produce to all of the local hotels.

Now part of the airport marsh, Revelstoke Museum curator Cathy English spoke about the Samuel Crowle Farm, established in 1886, which at the height of its existence employed 12 people.

English's presentation on the history of the Revelstoke wetlands was part of the North Columbia Environmental Society's effort to raise awareness about the airport marsh.

The event, held at the Revelstoke Visual Art Centre this past Friday, had all the fixings of a usual gallery opening —work by local artists occupied space on the walls and attendees mingled, socializing with one

another, enjoying a glass of wine or a few appetizers on offer.

A slide show of local photography showcased the Revelstoke Wetlands and included work by Keri Knapp, William Eaton, Kip Wiley, Michael Morris, Jackie Morris, Harry Van Oort, Corey Bird, Jen Greenwood and Alex Cooper.

English, who was the first of the speakers to present, began her talk by giving homage to the Sinixt Nation whose territories included the areas around Revelstoke. “You can't talk about the history of the valley without noting it was used by First Nations," she said. "The Sinixt Nation used the Columbia River.

I think that's something we have to bear in mind, settlers didn't come here not finding people here."

Her presentation focused on the huge losses that occurred from the creation of the Arrow Lakes reservoir, particularly the farming community of Mount

Cartier.

"I think this is one of the real losses," English said, speaking about the cemetery at Mount Cartier, which was covered by a concrete slab prior to the flooding. English said that in some cases, families were able to have buried family members disinterred and moved to the Revelstoke Cemetery, however, in most cases this was simply too expensive.

Retired BC Hydro employee Brian Gadbois said he knows well the impact the flooding had on local farming communities — his family was directly impacted by the reservoir.

"I've seen both sides,” he said.

“Definitely this area, the Kootenays and the Columbias, have received the brunt of energy production in the province."

Gadbois spoke about the influence Arrow Reservoir has on the wetlands, noting that not all of the areas that were flooded are crown land. He focused on

the mecca of wildlife in the area, including moles, voles, mice, rabbits, eagles, osprey, hawks, wolves, owls, swans and blue heron.

"We're very fortunate to have a colony of these prehistoric birds," Gadbois said of the blue heron.

Gadbois' focus on wildlife in the wetlands was continued during presentations by Harry Van Oort and Corey Bird, both biologists with Cooper Beauchesne and Associates.

"Airport marsh is a really important place for wildlife in our region," said Van Oort. "A lot of water fowl use this area for migration. There's a whole myriad of songbirds that nest in the area."

In fact, a study that will begin this summer will focus on studying marsh bird conservation and productivity in Revelstoke Reach. Bird’s presentation honed in on this upcoming study, which will focus on a small number of birds (Sora, Virginia Rail, American Bittern) noted that not a lot of information is known about these birds.

"We know very little about these species," he said. "We've found a lot of nests, but they didn't seem habitat specific, they seem opportunistic."

While presentations focused on the past and present of the Revelstoke wetlands, regrets from Jean-Marc Laflamme of Jump on Flyaways, Alan Mason from the City of Revelstoke and

Gary Holte from the Columbia Shuswap Regional District meant the event was lacking when it came to the future of the area.

Holte, who is the Interim Team Leader, Community Services for CSRD, did email a letter to Amy Clarke of the NCES stating that in 2014, the CSRD intends to complete installation of fencing along airport runway at Revelstoke Airport.

"This will provide a separation between the public that access the Columbia River flats to enjoy nature and the airport operations. The CSRD has no plans to expand the airport beyond its current boundaries," the statement said.

Pianist Sarah Hagen will be teaming up with cellist Rebecca Wenham for a special Mother's Day concert this Sunday.

The show will see the two musicians play a number of classical works by Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann and Vancouver composer Jocelyn Morlock.

Based in Vancouver, Hagen has performed to critical acclaim throughout North America and Europe. She has been described as an "outstandingly inventive" pianist with "infinite skill".

In 2009, her debut solo album Glass House Dancing was nom-

inated for Classical Recording of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards.

She recently released her second album Devoted: Music of Robert & Clara Schumann, which features solo piano works and a performance with violinist Martin Chalifour.

A career highlight came last year when she won first prize at the 2013 Bradshaw & Buono International Piano Competition. Her performance earned her the chance to play a solo show at New York City's famous Carnegie Hall.

Wenham has performed across Canada, the United States,

Europe, Japan and Australia, winning awards at chamber music competitions in San Francisco, and Osaka, Japan; and at the Banff International String Quartet Competition. She has performed with both classical and jazz musicians throughout her career, but has also played songs by Elvis Costello.

The show takes place at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre on Sunday, May 11, at 4 p.m. Tea and cake will be provided before the show. Tickets are $20, available at ArtFirst, the visitor information centre, at the door, and online at www.revelstokeartscouncil.com.

T

he newly-completed Mica Heliskiing lodge perches on a ridge above the Mica Dam, overlooking the Kinbasket reservoir – a jewel in a crowning achievement done mostly by Revelstokians.

The old lodge was bulldozed on April 5, and just eight months later on Dec. 5, Vic Van Isle delivered a new, 12-bedroom, and nearly 14,000 square-foot luxury lodge.

Mica Heliskiing marketing manager Darryn Shewchuk had high praise for the contractor and small army of subcontractors who built and polished the lodge.

“It’s just absolutely amazing that they could pull off such a high-end luxury building in eight months. There are luxury homes half that size that have taken two years to build.” he said. “It’s unbelievable. It’s truly an eighth-wonder of the world.”

The building is certainly not a ski shack. It boasts a massive living area, a media room, a full kitchen, bar and many high tech amenities. There are hot tubs, private views of the reservoir from every room, a full gym, a gourmet kitchen and massage studios.

“The building is ridiculously overbuilt. The walls are all six-inch thick with double matting and double drywall for sound-proofing,” Shewchuk said. “The floors are saw-cut, 12-inch wide timber and all the stone … is all from Mt. Robson.”

Giant fir beams, wooden planked flooring, natural cedar finishings, log walls, custom concrete counters, immaculate rock work, sheer glass and engineered lighting design synthesize rustic the cabin feel with modern sheik.

Local artist Tina Lindegaard was handed a $50,000 budget to scout and commission works from local and Kootenay artists, which are featured throughout.

It’s the work of CEI Architecture, who add the lodge to an impressive array of public and private buildings in B.C. including the Chuck Bailey Rec-

reation Centre in Surrey, the Northwest Community College in Smithers and Jim Pattison Centre of Excellence at Okanagan College. The B.C. company has received many accolades for green and sustainable construction.

“They really got what we were looking to accomplish in keeping the cozy feel of the existing lodge, but really making something that’s modern, state-of-the-art and combining those two elements,” Shewchuk said. “They pulled it off amazingly.”

Behind the natural wood and glass, there’s a high-tech substructure. The media room offers bigscreen TVs next to the fireplace. Many rooms wirelessly sync the built-in sound system with your smartphone. The ski room features lockers with built-in drying fans. The room has an overall negative pressure so, “You don’t get that wet boot smell going thorough the whole lodge,” Shewchuk joked.

The finishings match the modern/rustic mix. The wire-brushed solid fir doors cost in the thousands.

Restored metal lamps accentuated the rooms. The luxe linens and light-cancelling drapes welcome you to a dark sleep, and open to a panoramic view in the morning.

Shewchuk wouldn’t disclose the price tag. Mica Heliskiing is a partnership between minority owners Dan and Susan McDonald and newer majority owner Patrick Callaghan. The McDonald’s are heliskiing veterans who operated Island Lake Lodge near Fernie before moving to Revelstoke and starting Mica. Callaghan is a California-based computer industry veteran and hardcore ski enthusiast who backed the project.

“It’s one specific owner who put the money out of his pocket to build something he wanted to build,” explained Shewchuk. “That being said, he wouldn’t have done it if the company wasn’t profitable. We’re sold out nine or ten months in advance.”

B.C. launches skills 're-engineering' Revelstoke TOM FLETCHER Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has unveiled its plan to match up skills training with emerging jobs in resource development, by redirecting post-secondary funding and financial aid toward occupations in demand.

The plan emphasizes industrial skills such as welding, pipefitting, heavy equipment operation, truck driving and concrete finishing, but ministers and officials stressed that it also includes engineering, health care and other occupations where jobs are projected to increase.

The main shift for colleges and universities is that within four years, a quarter of their operating grants will be targeted to programs with identified demand from the job market. Employment data will determine post-secondary funding, instead of the tradition of block grants to post-secondary schools.

Ministers avoided identifying areas that will lose funding, but have previously cited far more teaching graduates than there are jobs in the school system. Premier Christy Clark has lamented a system where students receive a bachelor's degree and then must take additional training to qualify for jobs.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender outlined a plan for K-12 schooling that aims to double the number of spaces for high school students taking industrial training in high school to 5,000 in two years. Students in these courses get college credits while still in high school, allowing them to go to work more quickly.

The ministry is also revamping its kindergarten to grade nine curriculum to give it more emphasis on "hands-on learning" and exposing students in earlier grades to the range of jobs they can expect when they graduate.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said the Industry Training Author-

ity will soon get a new board of directors and industry advisory councils to provide up-to-date information on job market needs.

NDP leader Adrian Dix said the overhaul of the ITA to restore union representation on its board shows that the model set up 10 years ago has been a failure. He also questioned how the education system can be restructured without adding new resources.

"We need investment in skills training," Dix said. "Instead what we have is a ministry of reallocation, which will cause considerable problems in the system and will not, I think, cumulatively give young people what they need."

Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk said the student loan program will also be adjusted to market demand, with loans reduced or forgiven for students who graduate with in-demand skills and are willing to move to get work.

‘Vocational school’ back in style

BC VIEWS

BY TOM FLETCHER VICTORIA – The B.C. government has rolled out its ambitious overhaul of the public education system, from kindergarten to graduate school, much to the horror of its left-wing establishment.

The formal title is B.C.’s Skills For Jobs Blueprint: Re-engineering Education and Training. It’s designed to dovetail with the Harper regime’s Canada Job Grant that requires employers to co-sponsor training spaces so they will hire the students at the end.

Elementary and middle school curriculum is being revised to increase emphasis on handson experience. High school and post-secondary skilled trades programs are getting more money, but it’s going to be shifted from under-performing programs that don’t lead to jobs.

Premier Christy Clark took another swipe at the bias of B.C.’s system before heading to Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong on another liquefied natural gas sales trip. She noted that 20% of B.C. students, and nearly half of aboriginal students, don’t finish high school.

“Not only are there kids who don’t graduate, there are kids who graduate, go out and get one or two credentials before they finally find their way into a skills training program,” said Clark, who had her own wander through university campuses before going into politics.

A couple of weeks ago, Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter downplayed the “relatively small” skilled trades shortage for B.C. industry.

“We should not be engaged in a zero-sum kind of battle for dollars,” Petter protested. That’s exactly what he and other university executives are looking at, and it will be based on the latest graduate employment data and labour demand forecasts.

One of the key architects of this sweeping plan is Jessica McDonald, who shook up the public service while serving as Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister.

Her report on trades training confirms what Campbell’s critics in the labour movement have long said: the government’s 10-year experiment with the Industry Training Authority is a rudderless mess.

“Certain partners, particularly organized labour, feel marginalized,” McDonald wrote. “Others, particularly employers and employers’ associations, do not feel heard within the system.

Over the recent past, several new directions have been introduced such as de-regulation of trades and modular training that have caused strain because they were not fully inclusive during devel-

opment, were seen to benefit single interests, and they impacted the whole system.”

The ITA board is being replaced, with union representation restored, and advisory councils from industrial employers will update their hiring needs.

The B.C. Federation of Labour and the construction unions have all but abandoned the NDP after Adrian Dix’s disastrous pitch for urban anti-industry votes last year. B.C. Fed president Jim Sinclair was an early advocate for rescuing skilled trades from the second-class status they received in a culture fixated on university for two generations.

That culture has created glaring problems. There are too many institutions offering the same courses. As with health care, block funding is handed out without any serious effort to measure the results. For many students, university has become an extension of adolescence, finding one’s self through philosophy or film studies.

Employers get their share of blame from McDonald. Not only did they chop up trades training to make it cheaper to obtain, their preferred source of skilled workers has been to poach from other employers who paid to train them.

The Revelstoke Derailers are back in action this Saturday when they take on the Wreckers from Kamloops at the forum.

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review file photo

Derailers set to kick off third season against Kamloops squad Stephanie Ells

Revelstoke Roller Derby

The Revelstoke Derailers are back in the Forum on Saturday, May 10, for their first bout of the season.

The Derailers will be taking on the Tournament City Derby Dolls (TCDD) team the Wreckers, from Kamloops. Although this is a new opponent for the team, the Derailers faced off against another TCDD team, the Deadlies, last April. In their most physical game yet, the Derailers were defeated by 78 points.

Tickets are $8 in advance or $10 at the door and children under 12 are free. You can get them at Mane Attraction, Society Snow and Skate, Ray’s Butcher Shop, the Powder Springs or from any RRD skater. Bouts have sold out in the past so get your tickets

early.

Many of the skaters ski, snowboard, or hit the gym all winter to stay in shape. The most dedicated and talented Derailers spend the off-season commuting to Armstrong to be part of the Thompson Okanagan All Star Team.

Kansas Killa and Beatts Senseless recently traveled with the all star team to Spokane, Washington, where they played alongside internationally feared teams that included the Sockit Wenches and Kootenay Kannibelles.

To prepare for this highly anticipated bout, the Derailers have been working with coach Johnny Smooth to beef up their defense and increase their skating speed.

With their largest group of Fresh Meat yet, fans can expect to see a mix of new and returning faces on the track this sea-

son. Kerosene Kate is an up and coming jammer who is says she is “ready to fight for every point!”

Also new this season are a few changes to the rules. Derby girls who commit infractions like cutting the track, hitting with the elbows, or tripping, will only be spending 30 seconds in the penalty box. This means more action and closer bout scores.

If you can’t make it out next Saturday, you can also check out the Derailers on June 21 when they take on another new opponent, the East Side Wheelers from Indus; or on July 26 in a rematch with the Sun City Sirens from Kelowna.

KellenViznaugh wins RCA road race season opener Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Kellen Viznaugh was the winner of the first Revelstoke Cycling Association road race of the 2014 season on Wednesday.

Viznaugh won the race in a time of 1:04:50 after beating out eight other riders in the lead pack in a thrilling sprint to the finish.

“I just tried to keep it slow in the middle and sit on someone’s wheel for the sprint and go,” he said following the race.

The 16-year-old has been slowly making his way up the standings over the past few years and this was his first victory in a local road race.

Stuart Smith finished second and Rich Hamilton placed third.

The 40-kilometre race consisted of two laps of Airport Way from the Airport until the end of the pavement and back.

All 19 racers started out together on a warm April evening, but it didn’t take long for a group of 11 men to separate themselves from the other riders.

They pedalled together quickly along the pavement, with no one attempting to break away from the peloton. Still, by the time they

reached the end of the pavement the first time, two racers had fallen off the pace, making it a battle of nine cyclists for the remaining 30 kilometres.

The group stayed together until the final 100 metres when it was every man for himself. In the final metres, Viznaugh managed to burst ahead to take the win over Smith and Hamilton.

Becky Bellis won the women’s race in a time of 1:21:10, ahead of Margo Hager.

Viznaugh’s performance impressed his senior competitors.

Bart Jarmula said Viznaugh has been improving every year. He said Viznaugh has been strong in the sprints in the past, but his endurance hasn’t held up. Now it appears his stamina is improving too.

Viznaugh also won the races two times sprints.

The second road race is schedule for Wednesday, May 14. The cross country race series kicks off on Wednesday, May 28. Details for both races have yet to be announced. Races will alternate between a road race and XC race every two weeks until September.

The first downhill race is set for Sunday, June 1, at Mt. Macpherson.

Kellen Viznaugh charges to the finish line to win the first RCA road race of 2014.

Obituaries Robert William Farness It is with great sadness that we, the family of Robert William Farness, announce the sudden passing of our beloved brother at the age of 67 on April 7, 2014 in Quesnel B.C. Bobby was born in Calgary, Alberta on May 3, 1946, growing up in Sidmouth, B.C. and Revekstoke. He then spent many years of his adult life in Prince George. Predeceased by parents William and Margaret Farness and infant brother Derek. Bobby has left an empty void in the lives of his three sisters; Gloria (Roy) Abbot of Revelstoke, Valerie Farness, his twin sister, of Victoria B.C., Christine (Jim) Fedyniak of Star, Alberta; his younger brother David Farness of Vernon and many nieces and nephews.

Bobby was a loving and hard working man who experienced many joys and trials throughout his life, building his large log home from scratch, working as an electrician, operating his own logging truck and running his own businesses, Little Village Blacksmithing and Bob's Tidy Village. He loved horses but his pride and joy were his two Golden Labradors, Molly and Duke.

A celebration of life was held on April 23 in Quesnel. A graveside service will be held in Revelstoke at the end of July. Cremation has taken place.

Theodorus Frederikus de Volder

Dean Pratico It is with great sadness that we announce the tragic and sudden passing of our son, brother, husband, and father, Dean Gerard Pratico, at the age of 55.

Dean was born on December 26, 1958, in Revelstoke, BC. He lived and breathed what the “Stoke” is to so many of us who were born and raised here: family, friends, community, and a love for the outdoors.

Dean came into this world early seemingly knowing he had a lot of living to do in a short period of time, and live he did. He loved a good time and a good story and he often found himself in the leading role of many of those stories! He had a passion for sports, predominately hockey, and at the age of 15 went on to play junior hockey with the Vernon Vikings and Merritt Centennials. Throughout his life, Dean spent many hours in the local mountains hiking and skiing, especially loving the trips touring in the backcountry in search of fresh tracks!

His love for travel took him to Europe, Mexico, sailing the Carribbean, Thailand, Eastern Canada, Asia and everywhere in between. Throughout his life he lived in Vancouver, Calgary, PEI, and China but Revelstoke was always his home and he eventually made his way back to run his own business.

Dean continued to work hard, despite his physical limitations due to arthritis, and enjoyed working in his shop creating his Treasure Eye windows as well as keeping the family home up to Vincey’s standards. He could be seen many mornings taking Pearl to school and walking the greenbelt. On his walks, Dean always enjoyed stopping to chat with friends and acquaintances along the way.

Dean is predeceased by his father, Vince, and is survived by his wife Ping, treasured daughter Pearl, mother Marie, sisters Leanne Kaay (Terry), Julie Holowaty (Rolly), and Donna Lehto (Craig) along with his nieces and nephews Jacob, Isaac, Kate, Erinn, Blake, Anika, Paige, and Tanner as well as his extended family in China.

In the end, Dean gave the greatest gift of all in the donation of his organs to five families whose lives have been changed forever. Knowing that Dean lives on in this way gives those left behind some sense of meaning during this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers, a special fund is to be established to assist his young daughter, contributions are graciously accepted, details will be available at the funeral service or alternatively please contact Brandon Bowers Funeral Home for instructions. The Funeral service will be taking place on Saturday, May 10th at 1:00 p.m. at St. Francis of Asissi Church, Revelstoke, BC with Father Aaron deDios the celebrant.

Online condolences may be sent to Dean’s obituary at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com.

Arrangements are in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home.

Mr. Ted de Volder passed away peacefully in his home the morning of February 20th, 2014 at the age of 84.

He is survived by his wife Joanne, sons Ted (wife Jaime and granddaughter Jade), and Tim (wife Rachel and grandson Marcus) and brother Rudolf and sister Elisabeth and many nieces and nephews.

Ted was born in Indonesia August 28, 1929, and moved to the Netherlands after WWII. He taught in Holland for 10 years before immigrating to Canada in 1966. After a brief stay in Vancouver where he worked as a janitor (he played piano at night), he was drawn to teach in Revelstoke by the skiing and scenery. He enjoyed downhill and cross country skiing and avidly taking pictures with his camera. He taught in Arrowhead in a one room school before moving into Revelstoke where he founded the junior band program which he taught until his retirement. He was well known for remembering his students and enjoyed visiting with them as he shopped in Revelstoke. He always remembered their names and who their parents were. He also loved to travel and was known as the 'Flying Dutchman". He married his wife in 1980 and they had two sons that he was so proud of.

He moved to Victoria with his wife in 2006 to be closer to his sons and granddaughter Jade.

His grandson was born in June 2013. He looked forward to Skyping with both his grandchildren.

He was amazed at the continuous change of flowers all year in Victoria, especially the pink dogwood. At the time of his passing he was enjoying a full life, keeping track of the flowers, his grandchildren, listening to his music and of course the Olympics!

Ted will be sadly missed.
