Parading in the snow

1 It seems almost too perfect when it snows during the annual Santa Parade — like it did on Saturday as the procession of floats convoyed down First Street West and then onto Mackenzie Avenue. The streets were lined with young ones and their parents and grandparents as the paraders passed by, throwing out candy and other treats for the kids to gather up and enjoy. And, of course, Jolly St. Nick himself was the last to come, seated in the back of a pick-up truck instead of his usual spot in a horse-drawn sleigh — a result of the prohibitive cost of insuring horses for the parade. A sign of the times?

A night of music Music fans had multiple choices on Friday, with Joanne Stacey’s (above left) CD release show at the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre and the Community Band concert at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre.

Stacey played songs from her new album, My September. She was joined on stage by her former Sister Girl bandmates Sharlene Foisy (guitar, vocals) and Janine Carey-Bourke (bass, vocals), as well as Darren Hertig (lead guitar), and Denis Severino (fiddle, banjo).

Over at the theatre, the Revelstoke Community Band (bottom left), led by John Baker, was joined on stage by several other performers throughout the night, including local youth and Judy Lillace (below), who performed several operatic songs. ~ Alex Cooper, Revelstoke Times Review.

The new Revelstoke council, from left: Trevor English, Aaron Orlando, Gary Sulz, Mayor Mark McKee, Linda Nixon, and Scott Duke, with Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky. Missing is Connie Brothers, who was on vacation.

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

New City of Revelstoke council inaugurated Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The new mayor and council was sworn in last Monday, marking the beginning of a new political era in Revelstoke.

Mayor Mark McKee, and councillors Scott Duke, Trevor English, Linda Nixon, Aaron Orlando and Gary Sulz recited the oath of office before taking their seats at the council table for their first official meeting on Dec 1. Connie Brothers was away on vacation and will have to be sworn in at a later date.

McKee made a few introductory remarks, thanking the previous

council for their work and congratulating all those that ran for office, particularly those that won.

"I encourage everyone that was involved in the election to stay involved in the community," he said. "The community needs you.

There's lots of work ahead of us and it's good to have that perspective at every table."

He said he was looking forward to the next four years and that the community has a strong history of addressing its problems.

"There's lot of enthusiasm around this table. We're going to have a great four years ahead of us," he said. "I'm looking forward

to the great things that will be happening in this community because of the leadership around this table."

Council then quickly got down to business, setting out which councillors would serve on the many city standing committees, select committees, other committees, city corporations, and advisory boards.

Council's first regular meeting was set for Tuesday, Dec. 9, after this paper went to press. Public hearings were also scheduled to look at two vacation rental applications.

Here's a look at some of the items that were on the first agenda of the new council: — A presentation from the Rev-

elstoke Golf Club looking at the course's current situation, along with it's strengths, threats, weaknesses and future plans. The kicker — they’re asking for regular funding from the city as part of the Parks, Recreation and Culture budget.

— A response from Stella Jones regarding proposed logging on Frisby Ridge.

— Three more vacation rental applications for homes at 2077 Mountain Gate Road, 412 Fourth Street West, and 1766 Biatecki Road.

— Allocation of money for all of council and Tim Palmer, the Chief Administrative Officer, to attend

the Local Government Leadership Academy Elected Officials Seminar in Kelowna.

— A decision on the janitorial tender for the community centre and courthouse.

— An amendment to the new sign bylaw allowing for two service event signs per event instead of only one.

— Approval to award a contract to purchase and install odour control equipment for the sewage treatment plant from Advanced Air Solutions at a cost of $105,930; — An application from Revelstoke Mountain Resort to set off fireworks on New Years Eve.

RCMP BRIEFS: Spike in impaired driving, another TransCanada crash, search for missing dog and vehice theft Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke RCMP conducted eight impaired driving investigations last weekend — almost half the total they conducted the rest of the year combined.

From Friday, Nov. 28, to Sunday, Nov. 30, Revelstoke RCMP and Trans-Canada East Traffic Services conducted eight impaired driving investigations, compared to 18 in the 11 months leading up the weekend.

The numbers do not include those who were given immediate roadside prohibitions, or IRPs, said Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky.

In 2013 there were 58 impaired investigations.

"The Revelstoke RCMP strive to keep people safe. Impaired driving enforcement keeps those, who are driving while their ability is affected by alcohol or drugs, off

the road," said Grabinsky in a news release. "The effects of impaired driving on a community are quite apparent when injuries and deaths result. Having a designated driver, or not driving when drinking, are the best solutions."

The penalty for impaired driving varies depending on ones level of intoxication and prior record.

Someone registering between 50–59 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood can be given a 24-hour driving suspension.

For people giving a breath sample that registers as a 'warn' – between 60–99 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood – the penalty is a three-day driving prohibition, possible three-day vehicle impoundment and $200 fine.

Those registering a 'fail' – more than 100 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood – can be handed a 90-day driving prohibition, 30-day vehicle impoundment

and a $500 fine.

An impaired driver can be charged under the criminal code and can receive a $1,000 fine and one year driving prohibition if they're found guilty in court. A repeat offender will automatically be subject to a criminal investigation, said Grabinsky.

Two injured in Trans-Canada crash Two men were injured after losing control of the transport truck they were driving near Revelstoke on Tuesday.

The crash took place on the Trans-Canada Highway near the Meadows in the Sky Parkway turn off at around 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 2.

It happened when the westbound semi lost control and went flying over the road, first hitting the embankment on one side of

the highway before skidding back across and hitting the embankment on the other side and coming to a stop, said Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky of the Revelstoke RCMP. The two men were able to escape from the vehicle and were treated for minor injuries.

Grabinsky said they were ticketed for speeding in excess of road conditions. He said the road was slippery — it had been plowed, but not sanded.

RCMP search for missing dog A woman was hospitalized with hypothermia after searching for her dog in freezing cold water near the Illecillewaet Greenbelt on Wednesday.

RCMP say that at around 11 a.m. they received a call of a woman in distress. She had been out walking on the greenbelt with her dog — a

nine year old American bulldog — when the dog ran off into the water.

The woman ran into the river to look for her dog and began experiencing hypothermia as a result. She went to the RCMP detachment to get help and was taken to Queen Victoria Hospital for treatment and later released.

RCMP searched the area for about an hour trying to find the missing dog. It was later found by a local resident and reunited with its owners. "The Revelstoke RCMP wish to thank the citizen who located the dog and are appreciative for his assistance," said Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky in a news release.

McKee, Parker take seats at first CSRD board meeting Black Press

There were no shoe-ins for the chair position as the board of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District met for the first time since the municipal election in November.

It took two rounds of voting to elect Area E Rural SicamousMalakwa director Rhona Martin as chair and two votes and a coin toss to put Electoral Area C South Shuswap director Paul Demenok in the deputy chair seat.

In the first call for nominations issued by CSRD chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton, Area D Falkland/Salmon Valley/ Deep Creek director Rene Talbot nominated Demenok.

Area B Rural Revelstoke director Loni Parker then nominated Martin.

Sicamous’ newly minted Mayor Terry Rysz nominated

Continued from previous page reported stolen from Sicamous on Wednesday.

Revelstoke RCMP say that on Wednesday, Dec. 3, at around 6:45 p.m., a white pickup truck was reported stolen from a home in Sicamous.

The vehicle was spotted by police while heading eastbound on the Trans-Canada Highway.

Parker, who thanked him but turned the nomination down.

Demonic and Martin were given the opportunity to plead their case with the board.

Thanking Talbot for the nomination, Demenok called the opportunity a privilege and ensured he would work very hard.

He pointed out he is a good facilitator and would run effective meetings that were “tough on issues but soft on the people involved.”

Demenok outlined his extensive business experience and his current position as chair of the Shuswap Watershed Council.

Martin thanked Parker for her nomination and pointed out she had previously filled the chair position for six years and would appreciate the opportunity to return to the head of the table.

Martin outlined the experience she has since garnered as president of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities

(UBCM) and as a representative to The Federation of Canadian Municipalities and as a board member of the Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition.

“I tend to be a team builder and would appreciate your support,” she concluded.

The first round of voting resulted in a tie, with Martin picking up the win in the second round.

Accepting Rysz’s nomination for vice-chair, Parker noted she has been a CSRD director for 21 years and has garnered a wealth of experience in the position and as vice-chair, a position she has held previously.

Parker pointed to her work with the Columbia Basin Trust and a community housing society. “I am committed to the communities in our area and enjoy working with people in various jurisdictions,” she said.

Police stopped the vehicle at Taft Road, near Crazy Creek, and the driver, a 21-year-old from Barriere, B.C., was arrested.

A further investigation revealed the man was also suspected of car prowling in Salmon Arm earlier that day. He was eventually charged with two counts of theft under $5,000 and two counts of failing to comply with his probation order. He was ticketed for

driving while prohibited, possession of open liquor and driving contrary to restrictions.

He is scheduled to appear in Revelstoke court on Wednesday, Mar. 4, 2015.

The RCMP stress the importance of locking your motor vehicle and securing your valuables, especially at this time of year when cold weather can lead to crime of opportunity.

LETTERS POLICY

Kids pen letters to Mayor Mark McKee Grade 6/7 teacher Megan Bouvette had her class write letters to Mayor Mark McKee about how they’d like to see tax dollars spent.

She shared a few letters with the paper.

Dear Mark McKee, I think you should spend our tax money on solar roadways. They are an eco-friendly solution to the tar roads. It is also a way to get our energy and instead of having to pave an entire road, each panel is removable. Also, instead of having to paint lines on roads, each panel has hundreds of L.E.D. lights that let you know if something is on the road. Also, you no longer have to pay for roads to be plowed because the panels are heated and melt the snow. Thank you for listening to me.

Sincerely, James LeBuke *** Dear Mark McKee, Our grade seven class has been learning a bit about taxes. We learned about how taxes are spent on, for example, schools, hospitals, parks, etc. I’m not sure if you will be reading this letter or not but if you are, here are some

things that I think should also receive some tax money.

I think we should have some more money go towards Revelstoke Theatre Company and youth theatre productions. We had a great production put on this October. I also think we should have more family friendly ski runs on Revelstoke Mountain Resort.

Sincerely, Maya McDowell *** Dear Mark McKee, I think you should spend more of the taxes on plowing the streets. When the roads get plowed, all of the snow goes onto the sidewalks and that makes kids walk on the road when they go to school. It is dangerous for kids to walk on the road but we can’t walk on the sidewalk when the snow piled on it is taller than us. The snow should get pushed onto people’s lawns because no one needs to use their lawns in the winter but we do need sidewalks. Also, instead of pushing snow onto people’s driveways, it should go onto peoples lawns where kids can play with it and make adults have less work shoveling. That

would mean people would be getting to work sooner because they wouldn’t need to shovel as much snow or drive their kids to school.

Please use more tax money on plowing roads.

Sincerely, Zoe Larson *** Dear Mark Mckee, Congratulations on becoming mayor!

I’m positive that you’ll do a great job! I have some thoughts on what we should pay taxex for. First, I think we should fix the pot holes because they are very dangerous for cars when they hit them. So, I think we should pave the roads so we are safe.

Another thing we should pay tax for is medical purposes, like medicine and new equipment. We need this because some people cannot afford to pay their doctor bills and we need to make sure everyone is healthy.

These are the two things that I think we should pay taxes for. It has been a pleasure writing to you. I hope I can hear your opinions!

Sincerely, Julia McKenzie

Fosthall power project “beneficial to the collective use” Editor, We have carefully read the article Agreement reached between power company and First Nations group (from the Dec. 3, 2014, issue of the Times Review) and we are thankful for the interest you have shown in this topic. We are surprised that you have included some statements from Mr. Michael Watson, a person totally alien to the issuers of the news release, without contrasting with them Mr. Watson’s considerations. In any case, we are happy to take advantage of this opportunity to clarify his inaccurate comments.

First of all, the infrastructure upgrades that the Fosthall project triggers are also benefi-

cial to the collective use. Please, do not forget that the amount BC Hydro will pay for these upgrades is minimal. On the other hand, Fosthall Creek Power will provide long-term clean energy to the province’s grid, will generate a positive economic impact in a region that certainly needs it, will increase the power capacity of the province without transferring investment risk to the public sector, will build some infrastructures with an extensive lifetime and a series of numerous advantages that largely compensate the low contribution of Crown corporations to the infrastructures upgrades.

The fish habitat conditions associated to

the Fosthall Creek Project will be preserved by the numerous environmental and water flow commitments that the provincial and federal agencies have required of the project.

Furthermore, as the article states, the footprint of the power plant includes the construction of a new spawning channel.

We appreciate your time and consideration to this new investment that will help to revitalize the economy of the West Kootenays and will generate clean energy for British Columbia.

Faithfully, Splatsin Nation, Sorgent.e Hydro Canada and Fosthall Creek Power Ltd.

From the web: Reaction to last week’s Highway thru hell article Times Review staff

Last week's article about driving trucks on the Trans-Canada Highway in winter (Life on the Real Highway Thru Hell, Dec. 3, 2014 issue of the Times Review) garnered several dozen comments on our website and Facebook page.

Here's a sample of the feedback we received: Giles Shearing I am by no means an expert on the subject. I appreciate that there are lots of professional truckers who drive safely and to them I'm thankful. Driving through Roger's Pass in a storm last week I saw the not-so-great drivers. Some ideas for making roads safer: — Mandatory GPS tracking in all trucks; — Laws on time required to get between destinations and a way to track and monitor compliance; — More pull-offs and legal requirements to use them when holding up traffic (think Slocan drive); — Make snow tires/chains a legal requirement. The laws appear loose around this requirement.

B.C. Government says (trucks) must have them or RCMP/CVSE can turn you around or fine you, but that's not preventative; — Rebuild all bridges ASAP and attempt to straighten or better sign/light bad corners; — Look at installing weight-inmotion technologies in trucks for passive compliance monitoring; — Have better WorkSafeBC standards for trucking. Safety tips for driving in rain, fog and snow shouldn't be tips, rather they should be law (see www2.worksafebc.com/i/publications/StartSafe/Truckers/Tip5_Web.html) I know there are lots of bad drivers in all shapes and sizes of vehicles, but the biggest and most professional should be setting the standard for safety with support from a government not opposed to making changes that may increase costs but save lives.

Ron Durocher: Pay by the hour, not by the trip.

And more driver training before you get your license.

Todd Mansfield: Two weeks and a new Canadian immigrant can get a drivers licence, buy a truck and work as an owner-operator with no mountain experience or driving skills for Canadian winter roads. Zero experience. They get paid per load, not per hour so if the roads are bad, they eat the bills and the big companies always earn a reliable profit

while the consumer sees little price inconsistencies.

Christine Christensen Todd (Mansfield) you totally nailed it to a tee. These small or big companies don't care about who gets behind the wheel as long as that load is delivered on time. It's all money.

The CVSE needs to be cracking down harder on these drivers. Illegally driving without insurance papers, log books. Trucks shouldn't even be passing a motor vehicle inspection because half of them are falling apart. It's easier to get a class one drivers license — seems like it comes from a bubble gum machine and says, "Here you go."

I honestly think it isn't the highway to blame, it's inexperienced people that are continually riding your tail or flipping you off because we're the ones doing the speed limit taking our time, unlike most others.

Tom Dulewich We have the same problem in the southern B.C. Highway 3 between Sparwood and Yahk, then between Christina Lake and Salmo. These are the worst maintained highways I have traveled on year-round. I drive all over B.C. and Alberta all year. They suck.

Jason Peil If truckers are speeding and it IS trucks causing these road closures, then why not have a special penalty for speeding semi trucks?

Like a $1,000 fine? How about a specific winter conditions speed limit? Like 80 kilometres per hour for winter and 100 kilometres per hous for summer. Some changeable signs would not cost as much as these accidents.

Peggy Ife I have driven the highways a lot over the years and in the last few months have seen an over-amount of bad drivers. I have great respect for the semi truck drivers but when they drive beyond the speed for road conditions and the given speed limit is not enough even in the parks, it really ticks me off. I have been passed on double lines, blind corners — even when oncoming traffic is coming, and at intersections.

Yes, I do drive within the speed limit — I am not a pokey driver.

My husband drives a truck and he has also gotten very ticked at some of the drivers disrespect for others on the roads. They are very willing to put other drivers lives in danger.

Too bad its so hard to get numbers off the trucks of the bad drivers as they whip pass you so they can be reported. Then the good ones would

not be getting bad raps.

Jim Carachelo The highways are in the worst state of maintenance that I have seen in 40 years of driving in the Revelstoke area. The government is not auditing the contractors. The roads are terrible. AND PEOPLE ARE ENDING UP DEAD. Also the semi drivers are aggressive. They will tailgate you and pass when unsafe to do so. People drive too fast for conditions, tailgate, and pass when unsafe to do so. Where are the cops? Where are the plows? Where are the government contract inspectors?

Irvin Clough Simply put, the government has passed the responsibility of safety to each individual. The push for snow tires and the advent of four wheel drives and highway road maintenance privatization, plus a road that was too old the second day it opened is a recipe for disaster. My dad worked as the maintenance manager for Glacier National Park from 1975 to 1990. His motto was if a person needs four wheel drive to make it throgh the pass, they have failed in looking after the road. The maintenance contractors have reduced staff, wages and equipment, but the road is busier than ever. The contractors are also major contributors to the Liberal Party and are self inspecting. It is a mess.

Mark Robertson There are a number of factors at play here, however the two main ones are inadequate driver experience/training. Many of the experienced drivers have been forced out of the business by low-rate companies hiring inexperienced and untrained drivers for low pay. The other issue is likely the greatest factor in the spate of crashes, it is highway maintenance. Complaints to the government fall on deaf ears and you are unlikely to see snow plows operating and sanding unless there has been an incident. I know from experience. I have been a commercial driver for 26 years, have owned and closed my own trucking company, have operated heavy tow trucks in the Revelstoke area, live here, and have worked in Glacier National Park. Victoria is unlike to speed up twinning of this corridor as it is not as important to them, as southwestern B.C. David Sproule Divided highway sounds good... eventually. More regulated commercial driver training is a great idea... Perhaps a winter mountain

driving permit. Or have a roster of drivers who 'take over' out west. Perhaps limit the size of vehicles travelling in winter — half are probably empty anyway. There are a lot of bad class five

drivers out there, don't get me wrong, but come on now, the amount of tractor trailers in the ditch or wrapped around another vehicle every day of the winter has got to stop.

Jim Cuddy headlines Revelstoke CP Rail Holiday Train stop Black Press

The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is on its way across Canada for the 16th year in a row.

The brightly lit train left Montreal Nov. 26 and will stop in Revelstoke at the CP Rail parking lot off Victoria Road this Sunday, Dec. 14, from 4:45–6 p.m.

CP Rail organizers are aiming to generate healthier donations this year as the train makes its way across North America raising food, money and awareness for local food banks and food shelves.

The online #HealthyDonations Challenge encourages patrons attending Holiday Train events to take a second glance when pulling food out of their cupboards to ensure their non-perishable donations are nutritious and hearthealthy.

CP’s goal is to have 20,000 people take an online pledge to underscore how important it is that everyone has access to nutritious food.

Anyone who wishes to participate may do so at ‘You can show your commitment’ at http://bit. ly/1x6u4r8.

Food banks and food shelves welcoming the Holiday Train to their community this year are also being asked to commit 10 per cent or more of CP’s monetary donation to healthy food initiatives or purchases.

“We’re excited to once again see CP’s Holiday Train travel across the country in support of community food banks,” says Katharine Schmidt, executive

JIm Cuddy, a singer and guitarist with the Canadian country-rock band Blue Rodeo, will be on the tracks with the CP Rail Holiday Train when it comes to Revelstoke this Sunday, Dec. 14.

“When I write songs for my solo material, the songs tend to be a lot more personal than what I write for Blue Rodeo,” says Cuddy, who will be backed by his own band while on the train.

Cuddy is currently in the running for Heart of Gold Award as part of the CBC Music Awards.

The award goes to the Canadian musician who does the most to give back to charitable causes.

director, Food Banks Canada.

“When so many Canadians are struggling just to get enough food to eat, programs like this help to ensure so many families and individuals can access essential food.”

The U.S. and Canadian trains will make stops in more than 150 communities as they travel across North America.

The U.S. Holiday Train will travel across the U.S. Northeast and Midwest before its final show Dec. 17 in Weyburn, Saskatchewan, while the Canadian train will travel west and wrap up its journey Dec. 18 in Port Coquitlam.

Each Holiday Train event fea-

tures performances by professional musicians including the pop rock band. In Revelstoke, Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo fame, and Tracey Browne will perform.

There’s no charge to attend a Holiday Train show, but patrons are asked to take a cash or nonperishable food donation. All money and food raised in a community stays there to help those in need locally.

The Revelstoke Community Band will be playing in the parking lot before the train arrives and the volunteer firefighters will be serving hot dogs and hot chocolate.

JUST WHAT THE DOCTORS ORDERED Out of challenge comes opportunity and at Selkirk College the Rural Pre-Medicine Program is taking on the problem of a physician shortage outside urban areas by opening the door for students who desire to follow a pathway towards a career in medicine well suited for rural Canada.

Finding Solutions to the Rural Doctor Crisis

Helping Solve the Problem of a Growing Need The mounting challenges with health care in rural Canada have gained traction in the media over the last few years.

With shrinking government budgets, an aging population and societal shifts forming the basis of these struggles, more attention has been focussed on the gap between urban and rural.

Three years ago, Lund and her colleagues in the Selkirk College School of University Arts & Sciences were looking for ways to bolster second year sciences at the Castlegar Campus. A story on CBC radio about the doctor shortage in rural British Columbia triggered the idea for a program that would help address the need with homegrown solutions.

Lund was charged with putting together the proposal and soliciting support. For almost two years Lund put her skills in research and passion for education to the test as she approached senior levels of government, the Doctors of BC, local physicians, the University of British Columbia and anybody else that would listen.

“There was a lot of pounding the pavement… I had to become a salesperson,” she says. “That’s the last thing I thought I would ever do, but I was selling something that I totally believe in. It ceases to be selling and becomes talking to people to let them know what we want to do.”

The First Cohort a Brilliant Example of What is Possible On a sunny late-September afternoon in Castlegar, Selkirk College administration joined representatives from the Doctors of BC, the Ministry of Health and health care professionals from around the Kootenay region for a special reception to welcome the first Rural Pre-Medicine cohort to the program. With a class made up of diverse backgrounds that range from recent high school grads to single mothers who have been away from post-secondary for more than a decade, there was a buzz in the air.

“I have a vision of some of the graduates of this program not only making it into medical school, but also being really grounded and solid people,” said Trail Regional Hospital physician Dr. Blair Stanley, chair of the program’s advisory committee. “Not only because of their rural roots, but because of some of the learnings they will have had in this unique program. They will bring that groundedness and can bring that awareness into their clinical setting when they are looking after patients. I think that will be a magical connection that they will have with patients and the work they do.”

SELKIRK COLLEGE’S RURAL PRE-MEDICINE PROGRAM HAS PATHWAYS TAILORED TO DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS AND SUCCESSFUL FUTURES.

Alicia Pongracz (left) and Jaeger Nickson (top right) are students in the first Rural Pre-Medicine Program cohort that is diligently building skills on the Castlegar Campus. With a diverse background and intimate understanding of the challenges faced by students in smaller communities, Rural Pre-Medicine Program Coordinator Elizabeth Lund (bottom right) is the motivating presence behind Selkirk College’s push to bolster the numbers of rural doctors.

Students of Rural Pre-Medicine come from a variety of backgrounds ...

Not sure you fit into one of these backgrounds? You might be wrong.

A visit to a Friday afternoon chemistry lab is further proof that the cohort model and small classroom environment is already paying dividends. Three months into their education journey at Selkirk College, students work together with a spirit more often found with the cohesiveness of a sports team rather than the individualistic competitive pursuit of entrance into medical school.

“You can see already that the students in this program are going do something and they are going to do something great… It’s already a success,” says Lund. “I’m really proud of these students and very excited about the opportunities for them in the future. Whether they end up choosing medicine or another health field or something else completely different in science, this is where it starts.”

Bantam Grizzlies win home tournament

A new organization that seeks to get more youth into snowboarding is holding its first camp next weekend.

Elevate SnowCamp, which is run by pro snowboarders Al Clark and Seb Grondin, will be holding a free camp Dec. 20–21 at Revelstoke Mountain Resort.

Clark and Grondin are both sponsored snowboarders who are members of RMR's pro team.

In an e-mail, Grondin wrote they are looking for local kids who want to get out and snowboard — whether they are experienced or looking to learn. They have collected snowboards for kids to use from sponsors and donors.

Interested participants are asked to e-mail sebgrondinl@ gmail.com with a message saying why they'd like to take part in the camp.

"The factors we will look at will be how stoked are the kids

to go snowboarding and how it will help them in their everyday life," wrote Grondin.

Fifteen riders will be selected to take part. The free camp will include transport to the hill, lift tickets and lunch.

"It is a completely free camp and the main goal is to help young kids get up and shred, whether they are challenged financially or they would like to improve their actual skills," wrote Grondin.

Grizzlies drop three close ones on road Cassandra federico Special to the Times Review

The Revelstoke Grizzlies were on the road for three games in a row last week.

They travelled to Chase on Tuesday, Dec. 4, to face off against their division rivals. Revelstoke fell short losing 3-1 to the Heat.

The Grizzlies opened the scoring with a goal from Ethan Waitzner at 16:26 in the first period. Chase took the lead in the second period, scoring two goals. The Heat added a third goal to the board early in the third period. The Grizzlies couldn't close the gap, leaving the score 3-1 final.

The following night, the Grizzlies were in Kelowna, where they took on the Chiefs.

After leading the Chiefs 2-0 for the first half of the game, the Grizzlies couldn't hang on, and lost 3-2. Derek Miskiman put his team on the board at 6:35 in the first period on a power play, with help from Brady Mende, and Zach Paxman. Miskiman would then score an unassisted goal to give his team a two nothing lead going into the second.

The Chiefs scored twice in the second period to even the score. The third period was hard fought by both teams, but the Chiefs came out on top, scoring a third goal with less than a minute left to go.

Sunday the Grizzlies travelled to 100

Mile House for another division matchup.

After back-to back losses, the Grizzlies were looking for a win. They came close, but the Wranglers were victorious, winning 5-4 in double overtime.

Nii Noi Tetteh scored the Grizzlies' first goal early in the first. Kenny Batke added a second shortly after. Carter Huber gave his team a three goal lead going into the second with an unassisted goal.

The Wranglers were quick to even the score in the second period, with three consecutive goals less than three minutes apart. 100 Mile house snagged the lead in the third at 6:03. Tyler Chavez Leech tied the game, sending it into overtime but Michael Lynch won it for the Wranglers at 3:28 in the second period of overtime.

The Grizzlies will be taking on the Kamloops Storm at home on Tuesday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. They will face off against the Storm again on Saturday, this time on the road.

Kenny Batke voted team captain The Revelstoke Grizzlies have officially named their team captains. Congratulations to Kenny Batke, who was voted by his teammates to be captain. Riley Creighton, Zach Paxman, Kyle Baron, and Carter Huber who were voted assistants.

Batke was honoured to be named cap-

tain by his teammates. "It is an honour to know that the guys are behind me" he said.

Batke is one of the few returning players from the previous season. He is happy to see how far the team has come since their difficult run last year. He mentioned how things have improved in many areas including the team's structure, commitment, and coaching.

"There is much more structure this year in general," Batke said. "Overall the dedication is higher from everyone."

One of the main reasons he chose to return to Revelstoke was he found out Ryan Parent was coaching. He had heard great things about Parent from other players that have been coached by him.

"I know other players that have had him as a coach, so I came into this season with an open mind," he said.

He went on to state his hopes for the rest of the season.

"I'm hoping to see our team continue to improve, and at the end of the day earn a spot in the playoffs, then take it one day at a time from there" he said.

Batke is well liked by everyone involved with the grizzlies. He is a responsible and nice guy. He is enjoying playing hockey now, and has plans to attend university to become an optometrist once his junior career is over.

The Revelstoke Secondary School drama class is putting on four short plays next week with the themes of hope, compassion, honest and love.

RSS class presents play The Four Gifts of Giving Danielle Foisy

Special to the Revelstoke Times Review

The Revelstoke Secondary School drama program has been known to put out many different theatre productions that people have always enjoyed. This year is no different.

This semester's theatre class consists of many ninth and tenth graders, as well as four senior students who take the roles of directors and scriptwriters.

Their task was to separate their class-

mates into groups then write out short scripts to suit said actors. Then the four directors spent a lot of time handpicking their groups to make things perfect.

From there they came up with the theme of giving. And within that theme came each director's own personal theme. They are themes such as hope, compassion, honesty and love.

As soon as the scripts were finalized the students flew into action, memorizing lines, finding props and costumes, deciding upon blocking.

The students are gearing up to perform their masterpieces on December 16 and 17.

Each piece will begin with a hint into how each one will play out.

Hope starts off the performance, followed by Compassion, Honesty, and finally, Love — with an ending to remember.

Don't miss out on seeing this completely student run performance, The Four Gifts of Giving, at the Revelstoke Performing Art Centre on Dec. 16–17 at 7 p.m

Check out our vintage biking & skiing t-shirts, heritage photo prints, books, DeLux hats, Espe purses, Hatley pyjamas, Jellycat stuffed toys, food items and more.

We also have a great selection of Murchie’s Teas and Rogers’ Chocolates.

‘It’s like riding a bicycle again,’ says McKee on return to CSRD board CSRD, from page 5 Nominated vice-chair by Talbot, Demenok quipped “Here we go again,” then advised directors, “I appreciate the nomination, I am honoured… I think I'd do a great job.”

So did half of the directors, who voted for him in the first round of voting, which ended in a tie – as did the second round.

As dictated in the CSRD Pro-

cedural Bylaw, Hamilton flipped a coin, giving Parker the opportunity to call heads or tails.

Parker chose tails, the coin landed head-side-up and Demenok became the new vice-chair.

“There’s going to be some interesting discussions around this table – all of us will have projects we want to bring online,” said Martin, noting each one would be subject to the budget process. “I want to says thanks to staff. The public

doesn't get to see their work behind the scene, on the public's behalf and also the board’s. I am grateful they're always professional in dealing with the public.”

After calling for a round of applause for staff, Martin gave each director an opportunity to offer a few words of their own.

“I guess we're all happy to be back,” said Parker to laughter, after hearing similar comments from other directors.

Parker pointed out the four-year term will go quickly, but will give directors time to move their agendas forward.

“It’s good to see new faces and old-timers; it’s like riding a bicycle again,” she said looking at Revelstoke Mayor Mark McKee. “I appreciate staff over the last years – the hard work they put out for us and on our behalf.”

“I was not feeling old until I got here, in fact I was feeling pretty

good,” McKee joked. “I sat here for six years as mayor of Revelstoke. I was happy with a three-year term – after all I am an old man. We’re going to have fun, we’re gonna get lots done.”

New to the table is Caleb Moss, a director with the Golden council. Also new, is the representative of Electoral Area A Rural Golden Karen Cathcart, who was unable to attend the meeting.

Obituaries

Obituaries Whitty John Vernon Mr. Whitty John (Whit) Vernon passed away in Salmon Arm, B.C on November 26, 2014 at the age of 98 years.

Whit was born to parents Silas and Jennie Vernon in Bath, New York on March 4, 1916.

At the age of one year, Whit’s family returned to the Didsbury, Alberta area to homestead. The early years were tough for this young lad; as Silas felt if a person knew how to work he didn’t need schooling, so Whit was required to stay at home and help around the farm. Times were tough and any work done

by Whit and his sisters outside the home, was expected to assist with the family’s needs. A sad time for the family was the illness and death of Whit’s mother to cancer in the spring of 1927. Life changed for everyone after that and after several years of unhappiness Whit moved out on his own.

JANZING, Dorothy Burton

In 1939, Whit met Mary Ballard at a local dance and that is where the romance started. Whit and Mary were married on March 5, 1942 in Sundre, Alberta. Whit worked various jobs in the area until his move to Lumby in the spring of 1944. He moved on to Kelowna for a while and then when he landed a job with the CPR in 1946 they moved to Revelstoke. They stayed until 1949 and then bought a house in Kamloops where they stayed until their return to Revelstoke in September 1956.

Whit built a two stall garage and carport onto their house in 1972 where he worked on old vehicles in his spare time. He retired from CPR in October 1976 with just over 30 years’ service as a trainman and conductor. He then worked another 12-15 years in the garage full time and really enjoyed it.

Whit enjoyed his retirement years involved with the Revelstoke Senior’s Center on the building committee and with carpet bowling. In his own words Whit stated “Mary always looked after me and took good care of me as she was the most wonderful woman in the world.”

Dorothy was born to Alice and Frank Burton in Revelstoke on September 2, 1928. She finished high school in Revelstoke, went to UBC for a year, and then moved to Seattle to complete her training as an orthoptic technician. She married Bill Janzing on January 3, 1950 at St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Revelstoke, and then resided in Kent, Washington.

Whit was predeceased by his grandson, Cory in 2004 and by his beloved wife, Mary in 2005. He is survived by two sons: Glenn (Brenda) and Gary (Myra); granddaughters: Glenda (Kelvin), Rhonda (Blaine) and Amy; great grandchildren: Joshua, Jessica and Kobe.

She is survived by four children: Jack (Irene) Wilson of Ontario, Wayne (Christine) Knight of Nicaragua, Janet McLean of Nakusp and Iris MacDonald of Revelstoke; 13 grandchildren; 15 great grandchildren; two great great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Obituaries

Obituaries Martine McLean

Martine (nee Richer) McLean passed away peacefully at Queen Victoria Hospital at the age of 47 on December 2, 2014. Martine battled cancer with tremendous courage and strength for over two years. She is predeceased by her mother, Claudette, and her golden lab, Jake. Martine sadly leaves behind her husband of nearly 22 years, Norris, her two teenage sons, Tayller and Calen, and her dog, Molly. Martine also leaves her father Claude (Liette), brother Dominique, sister Nathalie (Daniel), sister Sophie, five nieces, one great nephew, and many special friends.

Martine was born on December 1, 1967 in SaintHyacinthe, Quebec where she lived until she joined the Canadian Armed Forces in the mid-eighties. It was in the Armed Forces where she met the love of her life, Norris, and married him in 1992. They moved to Revelstoke in 1993 and started their family in 1995. Martine had a variety of work experiences in Revelstoke including volunteering at the Tourist Information Centre, a member of the RCMP Auxiliary, a cashier at Southside Grocery and, in more recent years, working at Queen Victoria Hospital in both the kitchen and in the scheduling office.

Martine was a doting, loving mom who was most content when she was taking care of her family. Her greatest source of pride and joy were her two sons.

Her love for "her boys" was tangible and she was hugely proud of their accomplishments. Martine's greatest wish was for her sons to continue to be happy and successful. Martine will be remembered as avid dog lover (especially golden retrievers), a patient flower gardener, and a wonderful cook and baker. Sharing her recipes and baking was almost as important as her most prized food -- Poutine.

She enjoyed socializing with friends and loved a good laugh. Martine also loved to travel with her family. Travel destinations close to her heart were Maui, Isla Mujeres (Mexico) and Poverty Beach, PEI all of which reflect her love of the ocean and her connection to sea turtles.

Family and friends would like to thank all of the staff at Queen Victoria Hospital for their wonderful, loving care. Martine always commented on the special care that she felt she received at QVH during her illness.

There will be no funeral service. As an expression of sympathy, donations can be made in Martine's memory to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, 6450 Roberts Street, Suite 150, Burnaby, B.C. V5G 4E1.

Messages of sympathy may be sent to Martine’s family by viewing her obituary at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com.

Cremation arrangements are in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.

BLACK, Larry George

Donna Jean Smit

Larry passed away peacefully on December 1st, 2014 in Kelowna General Hospital at the age of 66. He is survived by Gay, his loving wife of 48 years; two daughters, Lonnie (Rob) Revell and Lorrie (Graham) Kowalski; one son, Kevin (Kelly), all of Vernon; five grandchildren: Liam, Logan, Livia, Kaden, and Kael; his mother, Marcelle Black of Vernon; two sisters, Charlene (Norm) DeGirolamo of Richmond, and Lorraine (Barry) James of Vernon; his Auntie Grace (Gordon) Morris of Kelowna; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and many dear friends. He was predeceased by his father, Irwin, in 1985.

Donna Jean Smit passed away at the Kelowna General Hospital on Wednesday, November 26th, 2014 at the age of 51 years. A Time to Say Goodbye was held at the Chapel of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke on Friday afternoon, December 5th. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, Okanagan Chapter, #230 - 1855 Kirschner Road, Kelowna, B.C. V1Y 4N7, in memory of Donna.

Donna was born in Revelstoke, B.C. on March 28, 1963 and lived here for most of her life except for 12 years where she lived in Calgary. Donna enjoyed her work at the Revelstoke Credit Union, a job she took great pride in. She loved every moment spent with her family.

Donna is survived by her husband Bob of Revelstoke; two daughters: Kristen of Revelstoke and Jenna (Alex Scott) of Salmon Arm; her parents Jim and Eileen Friesen of Revelstoke and sister Patti (Mas) Matsushita of Revelstoke.

Messages of sympathy may be sent to Donna’s family by viewing her obituary at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com.

Cremation arrangements were in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.

Larry’s passion in life was hockey, he lived and dreamt it. From his early years playing minor hockey to playing for the Trail Jr. Smokeaters and the Revelstoke Selkirks. He then went on to coaching minor hockey in Revelstoke winning several Provincial Championships. After the Minor Hockey years he went on to coach the Revelstoke Merchants Sr. Men’s Hockey Team to a Coy Cup Championship in 1990-91. He was the GM of the Revelstoke Grizzlies for 7 years, winning the League Championship in 1997-98. Larry was then hired by the Vernon Vipers as a Scout, eventually becoming the Head Scout. He helped the Vipers achieve 2 National Championships, narrowly missing out on a third Championship. He loved the team and all the players that came and went, creating many lasting friendships. After 11 years with the Vipers, he moved on to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks as Assistant GM and Head Scout to again work with his good friend Troy Mick. The highlight of his hockey days was coaching the Midget Tier 2 Vipers last year. He truly cared for each and every player on this team including his 2 grandsons who were on the team. His son and son-in-law helped coach the team, creating a very special year of hockey memories. Larry’s grandchildren were the highlight of his life, watching them play hockey, lacrosse and soccer brought him great pride and joy.

Larry lived life large and will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Kidsport, c/o Recreation Service, 3310 37th Avenue, Vernon, BC, V1T 2Y5.

The Celebration of Life Service for Larry will be held in the chapel of Pleasant Valley Funeral Home on Wednesday, December 10th, 2014 at 2:00 p.m.
