Fire damages Columbia Park home

Grizzlies lose heartbreaker in seven to Sicamous ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

A fire seriously damaged a home on Greely Crescent in Columbia Park on Saturday night. All five occupants and the family dog managed to get out safely after the blaze broke out around 8 p.m. Investigators are pointing towards a barbecue stored in the carport area for the winter. For more, see page 4. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

The look on Reid Blinkhorn’s face said it all. Sitting at the end of the bench, the Grizzlies captain and a veteran of four seasons with the team was struggling to hold back the tears. “It hurts,” said the 20-year-old defenceman following the Revelstoke

Grizzlies 4-0 loss to the Sicamous Eagles in game seven in the early hours of Sunday morning. Fellow veteran defenceman Lucas Hildebrand came to sit beside him. “I don’t know,” Blinkhorn added. “No words can really describe the feeling.” Sicamous, page 11

Revelstoke’s teachers are expected to return to work on Thursday after a province-wide three day strike that began Monday. The B.C. Teachers Federation served notice last Thursday morning that teachers would be going on strike starting Monday morning. The notice came after an eventful week that saw the provincial government introduce legislation last Tuesday, Feb. 28, that seeks to end the stalled bargaining between the teach-

ers and employers. Also on Tuesday, the BCTF received permission from the Labour Relations Board to engage in a limited strike. 27,946 BCTF members voted yes to the strike option out of the 32,209 who voted. The LRB ruling specified that the teachers were not allowed to picket. Instead, the Revelstoke Teachers Association set up what it called information lines outside the schools throughout the strike. Schools in Revelstoke and throughout the province were set remain open

during the strike. Still, Anne Cooper, the Superintendent of the Revelstoke School District, sent a letter home to parents on Thursday asking parents to keep their children at home during the strike for safety reasons. In response to the strike, the Revelstoke Childcare Society set up day programs for students in kindergarten to grade four. The Times Review went to press Monday at noon. This article reflects all developments to that point. Bill 22, dubbed the EduBCTF, page 4

Transportation ministry presents Galena-Shelter ferry plan CLAIRE PARADIS Black Press

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOT) hosted a presentation about the Upper Arrow Lake Ferry replacement project in Nakusp on Mar. 1. Ministry representative Renee Mounteney said the ministry is replacing the ferries in the next couple of years is that they are 43 years old, and reaching the end of their service period. Like an old car, Mounteney said, it’s getting harder and harder to find replacement parts. Also like an old car, it is costing more and more to keep the ferries up to day in terms of Transport Canada requirements. Not only that, but the current ferries have weight restrictions that limit the number of passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles that the vessels can carry in one load. Building a new ferry was seen as a better option than rebuilding existing ferries, because rebuilds also face the difficulty of finding replacement parts as well as having a more

limited life span. At the moment, MOT is seeking proposals from contractors to build the ferry, Mounteney told the crowd, and will be looking to have certain requirements met. These requirements have been developed by studying current industry models, she said, and MOT is looking for a vessel to be built that would have the capacity to carry 80 passenger vehicles, travel up to 11 knots, carry 250 passengers, not have the weight restrictions of the current ferries. She said the ferries would be able to accommodate industry and economic growth in the area. Marine architect Callum Campbell also presented for the ministry. He explained how the one new ferry, which would have the capacity to carry 80 passenger vehicles compared to the combined capacity of 78 on the Galena and Shelter Bay vessels, as well as an increased dead weight (total carrying) capacity would allow increased traffic. The limited dead weight capacity of the

current ferries means that it is possible to fit one commercial vehicle on, but weight restrictions limit the number of additional cars. A new ferry would be able to accommodate more weight, with fewer cars left behind, meaning fewer waits at the crossing, said Campbell. Mounteney said the ministry was targeting the same hour-long round trip and hoped to streamline docking procedures to accommodate this. She also said the ferry would be 25 per cent more fuel efficient due to modern design, and would have the ability to be repaired without having to haul it out of the water. This MOT presentation was unique to Nakusp, with no others planned for nearby communities. When asked if there would be a presentation in Revelstoke, Renee Mounteney replied that there hadn’t been enough interest to warrant one. There were more rumblings of skepticism about no increase in turn around time, and the audience was

told that contractors had to explain exactly how they would guarantee a one-hour turn around. Representatives of a Nakusp-based lobby group proposing a bridge instead of a ferry were critical of the plan. Beaton Arm Crossing Association member Gene Nagy brought a little heat to the question and answer session by claiming the MOT was side-stepping the issue of a fixed link. The cost of a ferry

Mechanical issues close pools

Happy

Issue prompts discussion of replacement system for Revelstoke Aquatic Centre AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The tot pool and hot tub at the Revelstoke Aquatic Centre were closed down on Feb. 28 due to ongoing mechanical issues. “As of today we’ve closed down those two pools and we’re currently installing a temporary chlorine-based disinfection system for those two pools,” interim Parks, Recreation and Culture director Laurie Donato told council at their Feb. 28 regular meeting. Donato said staff were working with Kelowna-based engineering company Stantec Engineering and the Interior Health public health engineer. She hoped to have the two pools open again sometime next week. While a temporary system is being installed, city staff are also trying to find a long-term fix for the failing salt water disinfectant system at the pool. The Revelstoke Aquatic Centre was completed in 2004. “The

There is a better way...

typical lifespan for that type of disinfection system is five to eight years,” Donato told council. “Recently we’ve been experiencing some issues with the system. In particular, the existing system is failing for the hot tub and the tot pool.” Donato said a number of options were on the table, including replacing the salt-water system, converting to a chlorine disinfectant or some kind of hybrid. “Another issue that we’re finding is replacement parts for the existing salt-based system are no longer available,” Donato said. “We’ve hired Stantec Engineering to review the current water system that we’re on and to review options that we have.” The parks department has made a 2012 budget request of $150,000 to cover the cost of the new system. City councillor Gary Starling said council should consider switching away from the saltbased disinfecting system. “The

salt system, I think at the time it was considered the way to go, but when you look at the condition of the building and what’s happened since that system was installed – the salt system is not all that’s it’s cracked up to be,” Starling said. “It’s pretty obvious it causes a lot of damage to other parts of the building... The mechanical, specifically, takes a real beating [due to salt].” He asked council to consider the cost of the salt system long-term during budget deliberations. In response to questions from the Times Review, both director Laurie Donato and mayor David Raven gave assurances there were no public health concerns prior to the pool closure. Donato said chemical levels are measured throughout the day and they were always above normal prior to the closure. “We don’t take chances,” Raven said.

Adopt a Pet

($20 million) is estimated to be a fraction of the cost of a bridge with estimates in the $600 million range. Nagy said there were other bridge options that would be much cheaper. “The study looked at world-class suspension bridges,” Nagy asserted about the 2004 feasibility study done by MOT, which he deemed “a complete waste of money” because it was studying option completely irrelevant to what was actually needed.

This is Pharmacist Awareness Week, a week set aside to raise the awareness of the role of the pharmacist in healthcare. Pharmacists believe that knowledge is a great medicine and want you to know you can always use their knowledge to answer your questions about health and medications. We are always available to help you! Bad dreams can sometimes interrupt a good

night’s sleep. Sometimes, these nightmares can be caused by your medication. Vivid dreams can be caused by antidepressant drugs and can be lessened with a change in dose or drug. Check with our pharmacists if you have a concern about sleep and your medications. Our urine is a good source of information about possible problems in our bodies. Sometimes, too much protein gets excreted

in the urine and this may need further evaluation to rule out kidney disease. If the urine is foamy in appearance, it could signify protein content. This is called proteinuria. Men are notorious for not seeking timely medical advice. Evidently, married men who are experiencing a heart attack arrive at emergency units more quickly than single men even when their spouses weren’t present at the time.

They didn’t want to face any recriminations for being slow getting medical help. Many people aren’t aware they can ask the pharmacist for advice on nonprescription medications. Some people feel the pharmacist is too busy but we want you to know that we are never too busy to answer your questions about medications. It’s an important part of our job and one we enjoy.

so we knew we had a substation structure fire,” Girard wrote in a statement. He said crews quickly extinguished the fire in the carport and managed to protect a nearby home. Girard said the building “sustained substantial structural damage” creating issues for firefighters as they overhauled it for over two hours. There were no injuries in the incident. The family involved was given assistance by Revelstoke’s Emergency Social Ser-

vices program. Girard said the fire was still under investigation, but he pointed to a barbecue stored in a carport attached to the building as the cause: “The fire chief would like to remind residents to exercise extreme safety at all times during the year when using your barbecue and have a working fire extinguisher close to or near by the area you are cooking,” Girard said. “Barbecues are, more often than not, the cause of residential house fires,” he added.

BCTF’s Lambert calls government legislation “bullying tactics” from page 1 cation Improvement Act, extends the current teacher contract terms until June 2013, imposing the government’s two-year “net zero” wage mandate that most other government have agreed to voluntarily. It gives a yet-to-be-named mediator until June 30 to seek agreement on issues other than pay and benefits, such as class size and composition. The legislation also puts in place a new fund to address class size and special needs support, to respond to a court decision last year that said those issues were taken out of teacher contracts without adequate consultation. It provides $30 million extra this year, $60 million next year and $75 million each year after that, amounts the BCTF has rejected as far too little. The legislation imposes a new teacher evaluation and selection process that Abbott acknowledged will be controversial. B.C.’s teachers have been engaged in a limited job action since the start of the school year during which they have not engaged in administrative duties such as supervision outside the

classroom and issuing report cards. Bill 22 would end that job action. NDP leader Adrian Dix said he will oppose Bill-22 in the legislature. He called for “real mediation” but refused to say if he would support a raise for teachers. BCTF president Susan Lambert has dismissed the legislation and restrictions on mediation to work within the government’s two-year “net zero” wage mandate as “bullying tactics.” She said an extra $30 million fund for special needs support this year, on top of more than $800 million currently budgeted, is a “crumb” that won’t even cover inflation. “The results of our province-wide vote are strong evidence of the unity and determination of BCTF members in rejecting this government’s provocative and damaging legislation,” Lambert said. No timeline was set for passage of the legislation. The LRB ruling also gave the BCTF permission to strike one day each week following the initial strike but there was no word on future strikes as of press time.

Council backs Ski Hall of Fame and Museum bid Museum looking to relocate by the fall of 2012; Century Vallen building proposed AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke city council has unanimously backed a bid to host the Canadian Ski Hall of Fame and Museum here. “It’s a great thing for Revelstoke,” said Coun. Tony Scarcella when introducing the concept at council’s Feb. 28 regular meeting. The Canadian Ski Hall of Fame and Museum (CSHOFM) is currently located in Ottawa but is looking for a new home. In 2011, the museum issued a call for proposals for a new location, and once again renewed the call on Feb. 8, 2012. “We have received serious expressions of interest and proposals are being developed by interested groups,” the organization stated in their second call for proposals. In their call for proposals, the CSHOFM outlines some specific requests. They want 4,000 or more square feet in a “high traffic” location. They want “significant revenue and in kind contribution to contribute to the projected annual operating costs of $250,000.” They also want to move in by the fall of this year. Coun. Tony Scarcella said the Century Vallen building was 1,000 square feet more than the 4,000 required. “At this stage it’s just a proposal,” said Revelstoke economic development director Alan Mason, who presented the plan to council. Mason said feedback from members of the business, arts and tourism communities had been very positive. “People think it’s a great idea – it would be a real feather in our caps if we could attract this.” Mason said if Revelstoke was selected a business plan would be developed and the operator of the museum would have to be determined. “At the moment we’re just expressing interest,” Mason said. “So we’re a long ways from taking the skis out of my basement?” joked mayor David Raven. Coun. Steve Bender felt the museum could be an “unbelievable boon” to Revelstoke, but worried offering the Century Vallen building wouldn’t be putting Revelstoke’s best ski boot forward. He alluded to serious competition from other heavy-hitter ski communities. In the end, council unanimously approved the plan to make a run to host the museum. The Canadian Ski Hall of Fame and Museum was formerly known as the Canadian Ski Museum. At their November AGM, the museum’s board of directors

World class ski jumper Nels Nelsen was inducted into the Candadian Ski Hall of Fame and Musueum in 1983. In a bio on their website, the museum notes Nelsen was famous for his feats on the ski jump, but is lesser known for his work promoting and developing the sport of skiing in Western Canada. `

adopted the name change. As its name suggests, the CSHOFM hosts a physical and online museum and also inducts skiers into their hall of fame. Revelstoke ski jumper Nels Nelsen was inducted in to the Canadian Ski Hall of Fame in 1983. *** Canadian Ski Hall of Fame and Museum Director Chris Edgell is the chairperson on a task force that is leading the hunt for the new home for the museum. He said there were five applicants as of the Mar. 1 deadline. They are Revelstoke, Rossland, B.C., B.C., Whistler, B.C., Grouse Mountain in North Vancouver, B.C. and Mont Tremblant, Que. He said the reasons for the relocation were size, location and costs. The current home in Ottawa is too small for the exhibit, too expensive to rent and faces too much competition in Ottawa from many other world-class museums. “It’s difficult to focus on the sport of skiing in Ottawa,” he said. Edgell said the collection was valued at $1.5 million. “The collection will go to the

best presentation, the best situation to sustain the collection and let it grow and get it in front of as many vistiors as possible,” he said in a telephone interview. “We’re remaining very flexible in terms of what each area can offer,” Edgell said. “I think that’s an important piece of the puzzle because everybody has a different view as to what the whole thing should look like. We’re looking for sustainibility for the future.” Edgell said any successful bid would likely involve a corporate sponsor. “Rossland and Revelstoke have an advantage in a way [because] they are museum oriented,” he said. “You’re going to have a better ability to be precise with your budget.” Edgell said museum expertise would also be an important factor in the relocation decision, saying the successful community would need to have a “reasonable level of curatorship” in town. He also expressed excitement about the museum’s ability to attract tourists to the town that lands the musuem.

In 2008 the BC Liberals introduced to the BC Legislature a piece of legislation called the Resource Road Act. This legislation, which could have restricted your access to backcountry roads, was so contentious that the government was forced to withdraw it. There is little doubt that reviewing the management of our backcountry roads is a worthwhile exercise. It is the responsibility of government to ensure that commonly held assets are managed properly for a range of values. Last year, the government began a consultation process to develop a new Natural Resource Road Act and that public consultation occurred in November and December. Unfortunately, many of the stakeholders that should have been consulted feel that they were not given adequate opportunity to participate. The government is propos-

ing that the responsibility for use and maintenance of resource roads be transferred to private entities, usually the primary user of that road. While this may seem a logical way to reduce the burden of responsibility on government, it could restrict the use of that road by other current road users. Rural residents rely on resource roads for access to recreational opportunities such as hunting, hiking, camping and fishing. Small resource industries and tourism operations also rely on these roads. Any changes to access and maintenance levels could have serious repercussions. If your particular use of a resource road is not the primary use of that road, under this

legislation, you could have your access restricted. And if you have built a business on that road, and you are designated as the primary user, you could find that in order to ensure access you will have to lay out a large sum of money to maintain that road. You may also have to take on liability for that road. I fully understand that we must take action to ensure that public money is not needlessly spent maintaining roads that rightfully should be abandoned. And I understand that there are some roads that likely should be decommissioned for environmental reasons. But I also understand that some of these roads provide much needed recreation and

business activity that communities in this part of the province rely on. Great care must be taken to ensure that all the values provided by these roads are considered, and to ensure that we do not hastily move towards a system that has serious unintended consequences. I’ve heard from prospectors, hunters, backcountry operators, hikers, ATVers, woodlot operators and a host of others. They all say that management of resource roads is too important to be handled with improper consultation and poorly written legislation.

At the Columbia Forest District office last Monday, about 50 former and current forestry workers gathered to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the B.C. Forest Service. They enjoyed snacks and cake and exchanged stories. Jim Doyle, the former NDP MLA for the area and Minister of Forests in 2000, was on hand to speak. So was George Benwell, who has spent nearly 60 years in the forestry sector, including nearly 25 years working for the service from 1955 to 1979. While I was unable to make it to the celebration, I sat down with Benwell on Friday morning so he could share some of the stories he told at the celebration earlier in the week. “There’s a couple that I don’t dare share,” he told me. Still, he was able to relate several tales from his decades of work. Benwell joined the B.C. Forest Service in April 1955, following in his brother William’s footsteps. Before that George had worked in the bush for a logging operation and he had spent some time in Bella Coola, where his brother was posted. When he saw an opportunity to join the service he jumped at it and was brought on board as a compassman on a cruising crew in the Nelson Forest District. Part of his motivation for joining was so he had steady income to marry is fiancee Myrtle – after two months on the job, they got married. Not long after he joined, he and another man sent to examine a timber sale deep in the Skookumchuk area near Kimberley. They were air dropped in and expected to return to civilization in 10 days. “This was in October – there was snow on the ground,” he said. The job ended up taking 15 days and they were down to one last potato and some butter, Benwell said. “We managed to kill a blue grouse about the third last day we were in there and that just about saved us from starving. They walked out of the forest on a Saturday and was told if they hadn’t shown up by Monday, a search party would have been mobilized. Of course, they finished the job. “There’s much more to that story but that’s the guts of it.” A year after joining the service, Benwell wrote the assistant ranger exam and was offered a job of an air observer for the forest service. He flew about on a DeHavilland Beaver, doing air drops, packing parachutes and helping out around the aircraft, he said. In 1957 he was made an assistant ranger in Castlegar and later that year he was transferred to Golden. In 1961 he went to Ranger school and upon graduation in 1962 he was offered an administration job in Nelson. He was in charge of dealing with everything

that went on in crown forests. In June 1963 Benwell secured the position as Ranger-in-charge of the Lardeau Ranger District – an area that encompassed some 1 million acres, he told me. “Our primary job was cruising and appraising crown timber, doing logging inspections,” he said. “Fire fighting was a major part of our job.” At that time, there was no dedicated firefighting crews with the service. Rangers would fight the fires with support of a couple of aircraft from Castlegar. If things got bad, they could impress the local men into service. They would walk into a bar or restaurant, accompanied by the RCMP, and draft eligible men into service. “A lot of the fellas we impressed were excellent. Some were adequate and some were terrible. There was a wide range but they weren’t all bad.” Benwell’s second story involved the 1971 fire season – one of the worst he dealt with. A lightning strike started a fire just below the fire lookout. “It was a very awkward spot to get in and get at,” he said. They called in an aircraft from Castlegar to drop fire retardant on the lookout in order to save it. “The pilot came over the lookout, he let the load go but he was a little too low,” said Benwell, chuckling. “He knocked the lookout ass-over-tea-kettle off its foundation down the side hill. “Fortunately we had got the lockout man out beforehand.” In 1972, Benwell transferred from Lardeau – with it’s permanent population of less than 100 – to Revelstoke. “It was a little more civilized,” he remarked. Benwell said he loved the freedom and discretion he had as a ranger. “If you like an outdoor life it was an absolutely wonderful life,” he said. “I can’t emphasize what a wonderful career it was right through. If I had a choice of jobs again, I wouldn’t change it.” Benwell left the forest service when it underwent a major restructuring in 1979. The changes, along with an opportunity to start up a wood lot near 3 Valley Gap, made him decide to leave. He has operated the wood lot with his son George Jr. for the past 28 years, he said. I asked if he missed the position. “I did for a while but after the reorganization of the forest service in 1979 a lot of things changed and I don’t think I would have been happy in that organizational structure,” he replied. “While it hurt to leave, I think it was the best decision. I don’t think I would have been happy in the new set up.” The Columbia Forest District is planning several events this year commemorating the centennial of the B.C. Forest Service.

25th Anniversary Rick Hansen Relay visits Revelstoke April 10–11 AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Rick Hansen pictured in the Revelstoke Review during his April 16, 1987 visit to Revelstoke. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

The 25th Anniversary Rick Hansen Relay will be arriving in Revelstoke on April 10 for a downtown celebration, staying overnight then departing April 11. Local event organizer Garry Pendergast says many of the details of the event are still being finalized and it’s not clear whether Rick Hansen himself will be attending. The relay will come from the west and arrive at Grizzly Plaza at 5 p.m., where a travelling stage will be put up for an end-of-day celebration. Relay organizers say the celebration will “provide the opportunity for communities to come together, recognize their own difference makers, raise awareness about accessibility and inclusiveness

and inspire a new generation to take action to help make the world a better place.” The celebration will include presentations, speeches, bands and other entertainment. The event gets rolling again on April 11 with a rally at Revelstoke Secondary School before getting back on the road, travelling east towards Golden. The relay participants are known as medal-bearers. Local participants will run, walk, wheel or bike with a special medal created by the Royal Canadian Mint. The cross-Canada relay marks 25 years since Rick Hansen completed his Man in Motion World Tour in 1987. Hansen made headlines in 1985 when he rolled his wheelchair out of Vancouver to begin his 40,000 km, 34-country Man in Motion world tour. It took two years to complete, during which

he raised more than $26 million for spinal cord injury research. Hansen, 54, was paralyzed from the waist-down in a car crash when he was 15-years-old. He visited Revelstoke on April 16, 1987, with only 1,048 kilometres left on his journey. According to a report in the Revelstoke Review, hundreds of Revelstokians, including mayor Geoff Battersby, came out to greet him and more than $9,000 was raised. He was escorted to Grizzly Plaza by the Revelstoke Secondary School track team before embarking on the ascent to Rogers Pass, escorted out of Revelstoke by an entourage of runners. “Just because you have a disability doesn’t mean you can’t go on to reach your goals and dreams in life,” Hansen told the crowd at the time.

Sicamous to face Kamloops in round 2

from page 1 The loss came after the Revelstoke Grizzlies rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to force game seven. It was a game that was delayed several times, first from Saturday to Sunday, then from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. as the Eagles bus navigated the long route via Vernon and Nakusp to Revelstoke. More than 400 fans eagerly awaited the start of the game at the Revelstoke Forum. Finally, the game began just before midnight on Sunday, Mar. 4, and ended after 2 a.m., with Sicamous taking the series 4-3. The series began with the Eagles looking like the first place team and the conference champion Grizzlies the fourth place squad. Sicamous upset Revelstoke twice at the Forum to go back home up 2-0. Grizzlies coach Randy Quakenbush said the team was “very prepared,” but he added: “First two games, I think the level of intensity was higher than what the players believed it would be and there was a few momentum changes that were difficult to overcome early in those games.” In Sicamous, Revelstoke was buoyed by the return of goaltender Ethan Wood and won game three 4-3 last Monday. The Grizzlies scored four times in the first period and Wood made 29 saves in the win. Game four saw the Grizzlies woes continue as they were thumped 6-1 behind a hat trick by the Eagles’ Brendon Wilde. With Sicamous up 3-1 in the series, the teams returned to Revelstoke for game five on Thursday night at the Forum. It was a back-and-forth affair that wasn’t decided until Michael Roberts scored the winner 34 seconds into overtime. Game six in Sicamous saw Grizzlies’ star rookie Cole Sanford score four times to lead Revelstoke to a 5-2 win. Quakenbush said it was the team’s “willingness to compete and our belief in our group” that led to the turn-around. That set the stage for game seven. Originally scheduled for Saturday, it was delayed until Sunday when avalanches closed down the Trans-Canada Highway. It was delayed until almost midnight as Sicamous drove the long way to Revelstoke. Then the game was delayed even more when Sicamous’ Corbin Marcotte broke the glass with a shot six minutes into the first. The game was scoreless until late in the second period when Connor Buick fired a wrist shot off Ethan Wood’s blocker and into the net to make it 1-0 Eagles. Sicamous kept the momentum going into the third period when Jagger Bowles scored at 17:32 to make it 2-0. Less than five minutes later, Tarren Cavanaugh made it 3-0 with a shot from the slot. After that, Sicamous defended its lead with the help from star goaltender Kris Drott, who made several big saves, including one on a Cole Sanford breakaway and several on a Grizzlies power play. With just under under two minutes to go, Sicamous sealed the victory with an empty net goal. “Sometimes the best team doesn’t always win,” said Quakenbush following the game. “I give Sicamous credit for a good effort. I think that we just ran out of luck when it came to getting pucks in the net throughout the series.” The victory means the Eagles go on to face the Kamloops Storm in the Doug Birks division finals. The Grizzlies were to undergo exit interviews before heading back to their various homes. “I let them know as a coaching staff we were proud of everything they did all year,” said Quakenbush when asked what he told the players following the loss. “They battled hard, there was no quit. It was a great group – they never turned on each other once. They overcame a lot of adversity and they could be proud of the things they did accomplish. Winning a conference and winning a division is no minor feat.” Quakenbush also thanked his coaching staff of Kevin Kraus and Darren Komonoski. Captain Blinkhorn thanked the fans and people of Revelstoke for their support. “I had the best four years of my life here.”

Living tiny ANNA MINTEN HAS BUILT HERSELF A TINY HOUSE – 160 SQUARE FEET SMALL. SHE’S PART OF A GROWING MOVEMENT OF MINIMAL, SUSTAINABLE LIVING AND GETTING RID OF EXCESS. ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

“This is my paradise.” That’s what Anna Minten told me as we pull up at the site of her house-in-progress on Airport Way south of Revelstoke. As we got out of her car and approach the house, I was struck by something – it’s even smaller than I imagined. Minten’s house is 2.4 metres wide, 6 metres long. and 4.5 metres tall. That’s 160 square feet of floor space, plus a small loft, for the metrically disinclined. Her house is part of a growing trend of tiny houses – essentially mobile homes that look like houses, but miniaturized. Minten decided to build herself a tiny house after being sent a video of a woman who had built herself one entirely out of salvaged material. She had always dreamed of owning land, but she could not afford to buy land with something already built on it. “At the same time, if I were to buy land that was bare, how would I pay off my mortgage and build if I’m paying rent somewhere else?” she wondered. The video inspired her and she decided to build herself a tiny house as cheaply as possible that she would be able to stick on a plot of land when she does buy. She started working on her house in the fall of see Minten on page 14

The Bra Lady Minten’s dream is to own her own land Is Coming to Size You Up Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

REVELSTOKE ON THURSDAY MARCH 15 to outﬁt you

Chapman is coming to

with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

YOU’VE TRIED ALL THE REST - NOW TRY THE BEST • NO UNDERWIRES • NO ELASTIC STRAPS • NO STRAPS FALLING OFF SHOULDERS • NO RIDING UP IN THE BACK

“It might be two-toned but we’ll make it look good,” she said. The only new material in the house are several two-by-fours she had to buy when the house she was renting was sold and she was forced to move her tiny house sooner than planned. Building with salvaged material has meant going with the flow. While she came up with several designs for the house, some of it was figured out on the go. The size of the kitchen was determined based on the stove and fridge she found. As well, she determined the location of one window based on the size of the sink she found. The reason? She wants to be able to look out the window while doing the dishes.

WE DON’T NEED SPACE. WE ALL HAVE SO MUCH SPACE IN OUR HOUSE THAT WE HEAT AND JUST PUT STUFF IN IT BECAUSE WE HAVE STUFF TO PUT IN IT. ~ ANNA MINTEN

2009. At first she needed to look up the rules and regulations of building a tiny house. “I soon found out that when its built on a trailer, there are no building restirctions - it’s considered a load on a trailer,” she said. She purchased a trailer and once she figured out the dimensions, she set to work collecting materials and building it. *** Minten, 25, was born and raised in Edmonton but she also spent a lot of time at her family’s cabin near Valemount. Her father was a carpenter and she worked as his assistant growing up. She credited working with her father for giving her confidence to tackle the the project.

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

my experience as an architect, a house in which every space is designed for everyday living is far more satisfying than one with unused formal spaces for formal guests who never show up.” There are companies that design and build tiny houses. Some sell floor plans while others will build you a house and ship it to you. The movement is about scaling down and living greener and cheaper. It’s based on the concept that people don’t need to live in big houses and we own far more than we need. For Minten, building a tiny house is a way of living a simpler life. The inside of her house has space for the bare essentials – a small kitchen, table, bathroom and a sleeping area in the loft. “We don’t need space,” she said. “We all have so much space in our house that we heat and just put stuff in it because we have stuff to put in it.” She’s been making a number of trips to the Thrift Store, trying to get rid of everything she feels she doesn’t need in preparation for moving into her house fulltime in May. The way she sees it, she can always go back there to buy something later. *** Minten’s house isn’t finished yet. It still needs siding and the interior isn’t ready yet either. It does look like a house, from the steep roof, to the windows and chimney. The main difference – its size and the fact its built on a trailer for easy portability. When all is said and done, she expects the house will have cost her less than $5,000 to build, not including the labour of her and her boyfriend. The house has a wood stove inside for heating and will have gutters set up to collect rainwater for her to collect in two large tanks. She has a solar panel for electricity but can also plug it in to the grid if necessary. Right now it is parked on a

Minten moved to Revelstoke five years to live in the mountains. She has worked as a ski instructor, waitress and at the B.C. Interior Forestry Museum. The day after our interview she travelled up to Slave Lake, Alta., to do fuel management for Arc Ridge, a forest service company based out Vernon. When she started the project, she started scouring for salvaged material – two-by-fours people didn’t need, excess insulation, windows that were replaced during a renovation, the remains of an old RV. One contractor is putting aside extra siding for her to use.

*** The tiny house movement is a growing one. When Minten started in 2009 she said there was very little information online about them. Since then, a small industry has sprouted up around it. The website tinyhouseblog. com has become a focal point for the movement and the New Yorker magazine wrote an article about it. Architect and author Sarah Susanka is credited with spearheading the movement with her “Not So Big” message. She preaches that homes are about quality and not quantity. In an article for Architecture Week, she wrote: “In

friends property on Airport Way south of Revelstoke but eventually she wants to buy her own land in the regional district and move the house there. “One of the reason for this is it gives me a simpler life and more time for things I love,” she said. “I’ve camped before for months at a time and I know what its like to live in very small quarters with limited amounts, but can you do that on a day-to-day basis? “Being as how these homes are becoming a fad, its obviously showing that it is doable and we are living in mass excess.”

Ballet Kelowna brings Grand Passion to Revelstoke Black Press

Boutique dance company Ballet Kelowna is returning to Revelstoke to present its show A Grand Passion next Wednesday, March 14. This is one of only 10 professional ballet companies in all of Canada and the show marks the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to Revelstoke after a successful performance last year. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance of A Grand Passion promises to be a memorable and moving experience. From the great ballet traditions of the 19th century, through the sultry tango bars of Argentina, to the impassioned and tragic greatest love story of all time, Ballet Kelowna takes the audience

on a transcendent journey through ballet history. Allegro Per Tre is artistic director David LeHayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homage to the classical ballet tradition set upon a trio of dancers and to the lovely music of Glinka. The glorious pas de deux from The Sleeping Beauty is a masterpiece of the classical ballet era remains as vibrant and exciting today as it was more than 100 years ago and continues to thrill audiences around the world and to challenge dancers with its technical bravura. Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting and vibrant music is the inspiration for Tangazzo (2005), an intoxicating look

into the sultry dance of love and passion, where seduction is the catalyst for love. Romeo and Juliet Appassionata (2010) thrillingly condenses the tale of starcrossed young lovers whose passion for each other transcends familial rivalry and whose tragic end ultimately unites them forever. Because they are a small ballet company (only six dancers), the performances are intimate, carefully crafted, rare and precious, captivating audiences through the movement of dance. Tickets are $20 (adults) and $5 (students/youth) and are available at Talisman Trading Company. Revelstoke Community Dancers David Luce & Christina Cecchini in A Grand Passion. Centre at 7 p.m.

Tailgate BC hits Revelstoke this week FREERIDE FESTIVAL BRINGS TOGETHER RIDING, AVALANCHE EDUCATION AND ‘MAN GAMES’; LOCALS TICKETS ARE $99 Revelstoke, where skiers and snowboarders will gather for five days near the Great White North restaurant just west of town. Each day begins with a newsletter being handed out listing the days activities. This includes avalanche courses from Soulrides, snowmobiling clinics and more. Of course, there will be riding – whether it be by snowmobile, at Revelstoke Mountain Resort, helicopter with Eagle Pass Heliskiing, or skinning up under their own power. After the time on the mountains, attendees will reconvene at the staging grounds to socialize, meet some pro riders and party. The opening ceremony is on Thursday, Mar. 8. Friday and Sunday nights feature

The inaugural Tailgate BC event is taking place in Revelstoke this week from Mar. 8–12. Tailgate BC is an extension of Tailgate Alaska, the freeride festival organized by former Snowboarder magazine editor Mark Sullivan. Tailgate Alaska started in 2008 as a small gathering of backcountry enthusiasts in Thomson Pass, the heliskiing mecca of Valdez, Alaska. Last winter, almost 500 people came out for the 12-day long event. For this year, it has secured a title sponsorship deal from Flow Snowboarding and it’s now officially known as Flow Tailgate Alaska. Tailgate BC brings the event to

Sullivan’s signature Man Games (“Fun beer garden games that test your manhood,” Sullivan said.) and Saturday night will feature safety games. The final night plays host to the wrap-up bonfire. Sullivan calls the atmosphere at the apres-ski festivities “epicking out.” “Because this is the first year, it’s all the important to get it off on the right foot, especially given the success of Tailgate Alaska and the potential for Revelstoke to pass that,” said Sullivan during a visit to Revelstoke in January. Tickets for locals are available for $99 at Society Snow & Skate and The Cabin, while supplies last. For more information visit www. tailgatealaska.com.
