DTSS Lakers senior boys basketball team continues strong play

Submitted by Rick Kubian

The DTSS Lakers Senior Boys Basketball team has continued its strong play. The team is now 13-1 having won tournaments in Creston and Kimberly over the last two weekends. The Lakers’ only loss of the season came in the final of the Elkford Invitational three weeks ago. In Elkford the Lakers had to deal with injuries to several players, resulting in finishing the final with only seven healthy players.

Last weekend the team faced some stiffer competition. They played their best game of the season so far against Creston coming away with a 74-69 victory against the home team. They managed to handle the full court press and three point shooting of a strong Creston team proving that they are continuing to grow as a team.

They are off to a very strong tournament in Fernie this coming weekend which should help them to continue to improve their team systems and individual skills. Importantly, it will gauge where they are at relative to the best teams they will compete against in the Kootenay Zone for a berth in the Provincials. The team runs 12 players deep and one of the keys to their success so far has been their bench play and commitment from the entire team. Injuries to several key players has challenged them and required all players to step up. Play over the last few weekends saw breakout performances for guard Peyton Cooper who had a 31 point game as well as ‘twin towers’ Lief Dubreuil and Connor Von Niessen.

The Lakers are hosting Mount Baker from Cranbrook next Wednesday February 8. Junior Boys play at 5 pm and the seniors tip off at 6:30 p.m. Come out and support your local student athletes at the DTSS gymnasium.

The Village of Radium Hot Springs and its Council is considering an application to remove a piece of Village-owned proper ty from the Agricultural Land Reser ve (ALR)

The land is located at 4755 Sewer Plant Road in the Village It is the site of the Village’s sewage lagoons (built par tially within the ALR and with ALR permission in the early ‘90s) and some of the Sinclair Creek Pathway system

The parcel is 13.72 hectares total and more than half of its area is currently not within the ALR. Only 6.47 of that total area is within the ALR and it is this area which may be applied for removal

Removal of the land from the ALR would facilitate construction of a regional transfer station (for garbage and recycling collection within the Village) immediately nor th of the sewage lagoons. This transfer station will be relatively small when constructed, approximately 0 73 hectares

Removal of the land from the ALR would better allow the Village to manage this land, which it owns, within its boundar y for community and institutional use – consistent with the Village’s Official Community Plan.

A public hearing on the issue is scheduled for Februar y 13, 2023 at 3:30 p.m. at the Village Council Chambers (4836 Radium Boulevard).
