Energy critic links Hydro dam spilling to IPP contracts AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The Revelstoke Dam spills water on June 17 following weeks of heavy rain in the Revelstoke area during the freshet season. The roaring spectacle blanketed the area around the dam in a fine mist and attracted dozens of onlookers to watch the raging torrent. The dam Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review reached a peak spill rate of 24,000 cubic feet per second on Sunday.

Council proposes parking closures for bike route City to seek public feedback on compromise plan to close off north side of Fourth Street in Southside to parking. Committee hopes to extend closures along entire route next year after more consultation AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke city council has opted to explore a temporary compromise between two proposed bike route plans by seeking stakeholder input in the next two weeks on a plan to eliminate onstreet parking on the north side of Fourth Street in Southside. The proposal calls for dedicated bike lanes on both sides of the road and no parking on the

north side of Fourth Street from the Illecillewaet Bridge to Townley Street. The rest of the route, which runs from Townley along Third Street and Douglas Street to the Big Eddy Bridge, will consist of ‘sharrows.’ Sharrows include the addition of painted bicycle images on the street and bike lane signage, but they are not a dedicated bike lane and no parking is eliminated. The plan is to get the bike

The Revelstoke Dam provided a Father’s Day spectacle as it gushed water over its spillway. The event attracted a steady stream of visitors who gathered to take photos and video of the massive torrent of water. BC Hydro had warned of impending spilling in May. In a May 18 email, BC Hydro spokesperson Dag Sharman told the Times Review that the Revelstoke Dam reservoir was “quite low” and absorbing runoff. “The risk of spill is heightened because of province-wide high snowpack and expected high water inflows into our reservoirs, low domestic demand, and negative export prices,” he wrote. Sharman said the planned spills were related to requirements to maintain minimum flows to benefit fish and wildlife habitat. That amounts to a minimum of 142 cubic metres per second. Revelstoke-based Hydro spokesperson Jennifer Walker-Larsen said the Revelstoke Dam reservoir has filled up and is now about 15 centimetres below full pond. The dam spillway is being used to pass inflows from rain and snowmelt. On Sunday, the dam spilled at a peak rate of about 24,000 cubic feet per second, in addition to generating electricity. Spilling will continue this week at a reduced rate of about 10,000 cubic feet per second. On average, inflows into the reservoir in June are about 24,000 feet per second. Last week, rain and snowmelt caused inflows to peak at 42,000 cubic feet per second and average 33,000 cubic feet per second. In May, NDP Opposition critics claimed that energy policies imposed by

The City of Revelstoke’s Enhancement Committee is proposing eliminating parking on the north side of Fourth Street in Southside this summer to make way for two dedicated bike lanes on a proposed new crossCity of Revelstoke image town bike route.

from page 1 request that council consider the following recommendations for implementing the commuter bike route.” The Enhancement Committee said it engaged 70 people on the bike route plan at a cycling-themed event during Bike to Work Week and received 35 written responses. In a report to council, it said the written responses, “show overwhelming support for installation of a cross town commuter bike route, including removal of parking on one side of the street.” Council did agree to move towards the temporary plan this summer, but that doesn’t mean it’s a done deal. City hall will mail letters to property owners affected by the parking closures this week and an information table will be set up at Southside Market on June 23 to collect feedback. Council will decide on the parking closures and bike route in general only after the public feedback is collected. Although the temporary, compromise route is the ball they’re running with right now, not all councillors and staff were happy with the plan; several expressed concerns at the June 12 meeting. Coun. Gary Starling said removing parking would be a big issue. “I think that has to be addressed first,” he said. Coun. Steve Bender said he was “very concerned” about removing parking “in such a busy area.” Coun. Phil Welock noted the city didn’t yet have its master transportation plan in place.

Komonoski also said taking on-street parking away from residences would present “challenges.” Council voted unanimously to float the plan for public input, although the initial negative reaction from some councillors leaves the impression several are poised to reject the parking closure plan if significant opposition arises. At meetings in May, city staff and councillors discussed technical difficulties involved with closing on-street parking, including existing planning documents that stipulate certain degrees of consultation with residents are necessary if parking is to be removed. Council will vote on the plan at its July 10 regular meeting, after feedback from the latest round of consultations has been gathered into a report. Competing bike route visions In April, council received presentations on two competing bike lane visions. The routes are very similar; basically from the Illecillewaet Bridge to the Big Eddy Bridge along Fourth Street, Third Street and Douglas Street. The city’s engineering department, with backing from the planning department, is proposing an allsharrow route, with no on-street parking eliminated. The Enhancement Committee favours dedicated bike lanes on either side of the street, with parking eliminated on one side of the street. The committee says the dedicated bike lanes are intended to get more cyclists on the road. They’re specifically targeting less-experienced cyclists and those not confident sharing the road with vehicle traffic. They provide the examples of seniors and children.

‘Downtown revite’ tree removal will continue for years Trees planted during drive to improve the downtown core 20-25 years ago are getting overgrown and need to be removed. Poor species selection is part of the issue, but mass removals are also caused by budget considerations AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Why do city crews have to chop down lovely cultivar trees in downtown Revelstoke every year? The trees are not that old and not all of them are diseased. What’s going on? On the eve of a mass tree removal, Revelstoke city council sought to explain why things are being done the way they are. BC Hydro will cut down a series of Crimson King maples and other trees on Connaught Avenue between Victoria Road and Second Street West this week. It wasn’t a plea for a stay of execution, but Revelstoke city councillor Chris Johnston brought forward concerns from the city’s environmental advisory committee about tree removal issues at council’s June 12 meeting. The environmental advisory committee has been pushing for changes and better communication around tree removal, Johnston said. Can the city remove a few trees at a time instead of mowing down a whole block at once? What’s the policy regarding replacing them with more appropriate trees? How about replacing them right away, instead of wait-

ing for months or years? What about improved communication? The answers from city public works operations manager Darren Komonoski revealed that city staff are dealing with the fallout of some poor silviculture decisions made about 20 years ago. He used the term ‘downtown revite’ trees. Many of the trees – such as the darkred Crimson King maples and Lindens – were planted during the downtown Revelstoke revitalization drive in the early late ‘80s and early ‘90s. Komonoski said the maple trees are “the wrong species” for the location. They

can grow to be more than 20 metres (70 feet) tall. Pruning them is costly and not effective; the species shoots up suckers when trimmed, which can grow up to three metres a year. Komonoski said the trees on Connaught Avenue are a case in point. Hydro gave many of them a close buzz cut recently to keep them away from overhead power lines. Now, they’ve become a “maintenance tree” for the city. Coun. Johnston wondered if something was being done to make better tree selection decisions: “When are we going to stop hearing, ‘We planted the wrong tree?’” he asked.

“You will hear us say that for many years to come,” Komonoski replied. City crews continue to take out and replace trees each year but there’s always more to do as the 20–25-year-old ‘revite’ trees reach the size where they heave up sidewalks, rub against awnings, mess with foundations, interfere with sewers and come dangerously close to power lines. The city is replacing the trees with more appropriate species – slower growing, less maintenance and a more manageable size. Komonoski mentioned Persian Ironwoods as one species. In the meantime, city crews will continue to deal

with decisions made over 20 years ago. Why doesn’t the city remove the trees selectively to minimize visual impact? The answer, Komonoski said, is money. BC Hydro is happy to remove trees that are coming into conflict with power lines. They cover the costs of cutting, grinding and removing them – and even pay for a new, farmed tree that has a trunk already about 8-centimetres in diameter. The trees already look good and have an “instant impact,” Komonoski said. The catch is BC Hydro crews do the removal largely on their own terms. They’re not interested in taking one here, one there. The crew shows up with their work orders and remove them all. How much notice do they give? “Sometimes very little, sometimes two weeks,” Komonoski said. “Sometimes none.” So, in the case of the maples coming down this week on Connaught Avenue, it is BC Hydro removing them. The city could have opted to keep them and maintain them but city taxpayers would have to pay for it. New trees will be planted on Connaught in the fall.

Hydro will buy the trees, but the city has to install them. What did council opt to do about the ongoing communication issues? They asked the public works department to put together a five-year plan for tree removal. The main point of the plan is to communicate with stakeholders and the public about why the trees are being removed and provide a road map for the coming years. In response to questions from the Times Review, mayor David Raven (a retired forester) said the city was also dealing with a philosophical shift in the community. “There’s a bad joke amongst foresters” Raven said. “You get to look at your mistakes for the rest of your life.” In his opinion, the species selection at the time of the downtown revitalization drive was not good, but that is also tempered by a change in philosophy. Back then, chopping down trees once they got too big and just replacing them was viewed as an efficient way of doing things. Nowadays, there’s an uproar when the trees are chopped down. “Is it the wrong tree if you’re OK with taking it out?” Raven asked.

NDP critic links dam spilling with private IPP contracts from page 1 the B.C. Liberal government had forced BC Hydro to spill water at the Peace Canyon Dam because the Crown corporation was contractually obliged to purchase power from Independent Power Producers, creating a surplus of much cheaper traditional dam power. “B.C. Hydro had no choice but to spill more than 800 million cubic feet of water over the dam because they

had to fulfill the contracts with private producers,” said NDP energy critic John Horgan. “This is exactly the situation Adrian Dix and B.C.’s New Democrats have been raising for many years. The Liberals are putting their friends’ business interests ahead of the public interest. The result is rate increases of 36 per cent over five years, with more to come.” Horgan cited documents submitted to the B.C. Utilities Commission by

BC Hydro that showed Hydro was buying high and selling low during the windfall spring runoff period when firm, traditional Hydro was plentiful. “The document shows B.C. Hydro will purchase 802 GWh in April 2012, 1,018 GWh in May, and 1,087 GWh in June from IPPs at an average cost of about $68/MWh,” Horgan wrote. “During the same three-month period, the average price to purchase power on the open market is approximately $10.”

Opposition critics, however, have claimed there is a direct relationship between spilling and IPP purchases this season.

With David Lafreniere Pharmacists put auxiliary labels on prescription bottles to highlight something important about the drug within. At this time of year, you may see a label that says to avoid overexposure to the sun. It’s important to heed this warning. You can be more susceptible to sunburn due to the drug causing photosensitivity reactions. When

you

are

choosing a sun screen product, look for the ones labeled broad spectrum and have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. This will better protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Also remember to put enough lotion on the skin. To ensure you get the full benefit from your sunscreen, you need to apply at least

1 oz. Many people apply much less and the SPF rating of 15 can actually be much less. To allow the sunscreen ingredients to bind to the skin, apply at least 30 minutes before sun exposure. Many people take fish oil capsules daily for better heart health. They take them for their omega-3 fatty acid content. One of the side effects for some people

is a fishy aftertaste. This can be avoided by storing the capsules in the freezer. It won’t affect their action but will eliminate that fishiness afterwards.

Mystery surrounds reports of dead kokanee in the Upper Arrow Lakes

Reports of dead kokanee surfacing in the Upper Arrow Lakes has prompted an investigation by government biologists, but so far no cause has been determined as to why the fish are dying. Reports of dead kokanee surfacing in the Shelter Bay area started in mid-May and the last report came in on May 28. That has prompted an investigation by BC Hydro, the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operation (FLNRO); and Fisheries & Oceans Canada. “There were reports of young Kokanee, small ones between two and eight inches,” said BC Hydro spokesperson Jen Walker-Larsen. “They might result from a number of natural and man-made causes. We’re taking a look.” So far, several potential causes were looked at. One reason – lowvolume spills at the Revelstoke Dam – was discounted because the spilling began after the first reports of dead fish came in, Larsen said. There have also been no reports from between the Revelstoke Dam and the Shelter Bay ferry landing. Investigators have also looked to see if there’s any connection between dead kokanee and the Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program’s Arrow Lakes Nutrient Restoration Program that operates from the Shelter Bay ferry.

“There’s no evidence of that,” said Larsen. “We have looked at a small sample of fish and it seems to be physical.” Posters have been distributed to known reservoir users such as the Revelstoke Rod and Gun Club and posted at recreation sites in the Shelter Bay area notifying people of the issue. “Kokanee fish kills are not uncommon and there haven’t been any new reports since May 28,” said Larsen. The regional fish biologist for Ministry of FLNRO was on vacation and unable to return calls before press time.

INFORMATION COMING IN ON STURGEON RELEASE The first batch of data has come in from 50 juvenile white sturgeon that were released into the Columbia River in May. The sturgeon are fitted with sonic tags that are being picked up by 29 receivers that are set up in a 29-kilometre-long stretch of the Columbia River near the Walter Hardman generation station at Cranberry Creek south of Revelstoke. The tags give off a ping every few minutes and that information is collected by the receivers and used to track the fish’s movement. The area is a popular spot for juvenile sturgeon.

The first set of tracking data shows the young sturgeon are staying near the release site and are travelling less than 500 metres per day, said BC Hydro’s Jen Walker-Larsen. The fish tend to stay in the deepest part of the reservoir, which is about 6-9 metres deep. “It will be interesting to see if their behavior changes and if they move out of the river channel as the water warms and the water level rises as Arrow Lakes Reservoir refills to summer levels,” she said. The information is being collected to give BC Hydro an understanding of how white sturgeon use the Upper Arrow Lakes Reservoir. It is part of an on-going project to help restore white sturgeon population in the Columbia River. This year BC Hydro released more than 10,000 juvenile sturgeon into the Columbia River at releases in Castlegar and at Shelter Bay. About 165,000 sturgeon have been released into the Columbia River between the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington and Revelstoke since 2001. According to BC Hydro, about 50 adult sturgeon live in the Arrow Lakes Reservoir. Sturgeon can grow up to six metres long, weigh close to 700 kilograms and live for more than 100 years. However, research has shown that few young fish are surviving to adulthood, Larsen added.

The driver was airlifted to Foothills Hospital in Calgary where he is in critical condition and the passenger was taken to hospital in Golden with minor injuries. The accident is being inves-

tigated and RCMP is looking at speed, driver inattention and inexperience; and load configuration as potential causes of the crash. Sgt. Mike Pears of the Trans Canada East Traffic Services said crashes like this are preventable if drivers slow down and pay attention. “This corner did not just show up,” he said.

Invitation

New Shelter Bay ferry to be built in Nakusp Times Review staff

The new ferry that will run between Shelter Bay and Galena Bay is to be built in Nakusp by WaterBridge Steel Inc. The B.C. government announced last week that the $26.5-million contract to build the ferry has been awarded to WaterBridge Steel Inc. of Prince George. The new ferry will ply the 30-minute crossing between Shelter Bay and Galena Bay. It will be built in Nakusp, and provide employment opportunities for approximately 65 people for up to two years. “It is great news that the new ferry will

be constructed in the Village of Nakusp. A project of this size will have a positive effect on our local economy,” said Nakusp mayor Karen Hamling, “This will provide our businesses and residents the opportunity to showcase our spectacular scenery and unlimited recreational activities.” A drive-on, drive-off, open-decked vessel, it will be capable of transporting 80 cars and 250 passengers. Due to the ferry’s larger vehicle and weight capacity, faster loading and unloading times are projected, which eliminates the need for an auxiliary ferry during the peak travel season, said Kate Trotter from

the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. WaterBridge Steel Inc. is owned by John Harding, who has been in the business of designing, building and operating car/ truck/passenger ferries for British Columbia lakes since 1976. He was responsible for the construction and operation of the largest freight-carrying ice-breaker in the world when it went in to service on Williston Lake in 1995. The company also constructed the 2004 Francois Forester, which provides ferry service under contract with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure on Francois Lake.

Council opts for rubber membrane for Revelstoke Courthouse roof Times Review staff

Revelstoke city council has approved a staff recommendation to apply a rubber coating to the Revelstoke Courthouse roof in an effort to stave off flood damage and seal the roof for a few more decades. Council heard the contractor could provide colour options to help match it with the existing copper colour. Public Works operations manager Darren Komonoski said repairs needed to hap-

pen this year. His fear was the roof would fail in the winter when nothing could be done, causing damage to the inside of the heritage building. Coun. Chris Johnston asked about the lifespan of the rubber membrane option versus building a replacement copper roof. Planning director John Guenther said the rubber membrane would likely last beyond the 20-year guarantee, and he doubted a replacement roof would last another 100 years, given that repairs to the existing roof

are ongoing. Council unanimously opted for the rubber (or elastomer) roof at their June 12 meeting. The issue of a replacement roof arose in the summer of 2011 when the elastomer roof was first proposed. City staff had been studying options and looking for grants in the past year. The Columbia Basin Trust is expected to contribute $50,000 for the repair, which is expected to total about $150,000.

CSRD chairman Ted Bacigalupo passes away Times Review staff

Ted Bacigalupo, longtime director of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, and current chair, died in his Blind Bay home Wednesday, June 13 following an undisclosed illness. Bacigalupo was first elected to the position of Electoral Area C South Shuswap director in 1999, serving in that capacity for almost 13 years. “It was a role he filled with tremendous dedication, putting in many hours attending as many community meetings and functions as possible,” says a CSRD media release. “ In addition, he championed the causes of the various commissions and committees on which he served; most notably the Okanagan Regional Library Board, where he served

as chair for the past five years, and the Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP). Bacigalupo was also on the executive of the Southern Interior Local Government Association (SILGA). Regional district vice-chair Revelstoke Mayor Dave Raven called Bacigalupo’s death a real loss, not only to his family and friends, but also to the wider community he served. “We’re all deeply saddened. Ted was a good friend to all of us on the board. He very proudly served his area,” said Raven. “He was a true gentleman and he taught me many lessons. He will be sadly missed and my heart goes out to his family and his many friends.” Rural-Revelstoke director Loni Parker said she was saddened to hear of his passing and gave her sympathies to his family and

friends. “He worked very hard for his constituents in Area C and also more recently as Chair of the Board. His enthusiastic presence in the office and at board meetings will be missed.” CSRD chief administrative officer Charles Hamilton, said he was deeply saddened to hear of the death. “On behalf of all the staff at the CSRD, I would like to extend my heartfelt sympathies to his family and friends,” he said. “Ted was a great character with whom I had a wonderful working relationship. I will miss him very much indeed.” Bacigalupo died peacefully with his family by his side. The CSRD board meets this Thursday, June 21. A new chair is expected to be elected at the boards July meeting.

Food, agriculture specialist talks food security Vancouver-based author, food and agriculture system specialist Janine de La Salle will explore possibilities for food security in Revelstoke at June 21 presentation at Seniors’ Centre AARON ORLANDO editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Food and agriculture system specialist Janine de La Salle will be in Revelstoke on June 21 to share her knowledge on local food systems with the goal of creating a more secure food future for Revelstoke. De La Salle, an Agriculture Systems Specialist with HB Lanarc-Golder, was named Young Planner of the Year by the Canadian Institute of Planners in 2010. She’s published articles in planning and popular media and in 2010 published Agricultural Urbanism: Handbook for Building Sustainable Food Systems in 21st Century Cities. De La Salle said her talk with focus on the planning framework that municipalities can adopt to improve food security at the local level. Traditionally associated with provincial or federal policy, De La Salle says food and agriculture is increasingly becoming a focus for local governments. “Food is a great way to activate public spaces,” she said. Her presentation will look at ways to involve a spectrum of community members in the process,

including residents, businesses and educators. Resilient food systems, de La Salle said,

require participation from all community groups and integration amongst them. “You’re creating linkages between people so people know their farmers, they know the land where their food comes from; their kids grow up with a sense of carrots come from the ground, not the grocery store,” she said. Creating a more secure local food system requires complex and robust planning. Some first steps involve carrying out food assessments, doing food asset mapping and creating comprehensive local food and agriculture strategies. She also advocates for urban agriculture, including things like permitting more farming in urban areas and allowing farmers to sell their produce directly. She gave the examples of Nelson and Smithers as two municipalities similar in size and geography that have laid solid food security foundations. *** The North Columbia Environmental Society hosts the presentation on Thursday, June 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Revelstoke Senior Citizens’ Centre

Forest Firefighters’ labour auction supports Live It! Love It! Foundation Contributed

We would like to thank all of the donors that have contributed to the project so far. Without their generosity the retelling of these incredible stories would not be possible. The book is set to be released in December and donations are still greatly appreciated to help us along our way. A rafﬂe featuring some great prizes is also being run to support the book, so be sure to buy tickets while they last.

Revelstoke-based Monashee Unit Crew forest fire fighters is holding a hard labour auction to raise funds for the Live It! Love It! Foundation. Here’s how it works: You bid in an auction that ends this Friday, June 22. The successful bidder wins eight-hours of hard labour from this crew of 20 firefighters. They’ll do just about anything and relish jobs that require lots of sweat and grit. In the past, they’ve taken on construction projects, painted buildings, repaired fences, felled and bucked timber and done transformative landscaping work. This project is a fundraising tradition for the firefighting crew, which in past years has raised over $25,000 for organizations such as The Rick Hansen Foundation, the B.C. Children’s Hospital, and Live It, Love It! This year the crew will donate the money raised to Live It! Love It!, a non-profit organization that supports adaptive sport for people

with spinal cord injuries. Founder Jeff Scott has been a member of the Monashee crew since 2005 and sustained a spinal cord injury while snowboarding in the spring of 2010. When asked about the 2011 event, Live It! Love It! executive director Izzy Lynch said the effort was stunning. “We were amazed at how much work the crew got done – it was

impressive!” The opportunity to bring publicity and financial support to Live It! Love It! benefits both the community of Revelstoke through the new adaptive ski program and also gives the firefighters a chance to donate some of their spare time to a cause that matters. “The Monashee Unit Crew intends to approach the project with same determination and drive that they bring to the fireline,” said member Erik Hanson in a statement. The auction board will be placed in the Revelstoke Home Hardware (201 Campbell St.) and applicants can cast bids there during business hours. The auction will start on Monday, June 11 and will conclude on Friday, June 22 at 5 p.m. The winner will be contacted by June 24 to arrange the details for the labour. In addition, organizers say any online donations placed at www.liveitloveit.org during the two-week auction will receive two official Live It! Love It! stickers and a chance to win a draw prize.

REVELSTOKE DERAILERS SET FOR HOME DEBUT AGAINST WHISTLER TEAM IN SKI TOWN SHOWDOWN THIS SATURDAY ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

It’s here. The Ski Town Showdown. The battle for roller derby dominance between the Revelstoke Derailers and the Black Diamond Betties out of Whistler. It’s the debut of roller derby in Revelstoke. For many, the impression of roller derby still rests in the theatrical, sports-entertainment display of the 1970s, when the violence was played up and the games were scripted. The current incarnation of the sport is a grassroots revival that started at the turn of this century and has quickly spread around the world. Hundreds of leagues have

sprouted up across Canada and the world. This Saturday, June 23, will see two new teams face off when Whistler comes to town for a bout at the Forum starting at 6:15 p.m. The Revelstoke Roller Derby League started last fall when Stephanie Ells organized a meeting at the Big Eddy Pub. She didn’t know what to expect, but 23 girls showed up and the league was born. They bought skates and started practising their skills – first at the tennis courts in Columbia Park and then at a variety of locations before finally moving onto thrice-weekly practices at the Forum. Several players went to a derby boot camp in Kam-

loops in May. Choosing a derby name is a tradition of the sport and the Revelstoke Derailers are no exception. The players on the Revelstoke Derailers go by names like AKilla’ the Honey, Tank, Dirty, Kissmy Carnage and Crash Test Chloe. Ells’ nickname is Pownder Puff. The Derailers first bout was last month in Penticton – a 189-156 win for the Pistoleras. The held a scrimmage against a team from Vancouver earlier this month and lost handily. Both bouts were a learning experience, they said. The basics of roller derby are simple – two teams of five skate around a track, with one player

from each team designated as the jammer and the other players the blockers. Each jammer has to make it past the blockers to score points. The blockers, in turn, try to create room for their own jammer to pass while stopping the other team’s jammer. They can block using their hips, butts and shoulders, but elbows aren’t allowed. One of the blockers is called the pivot – they wear a striped helmet and call out orders to the other blockers. In essence, both teams are playing offence and defence at the same time. “It’s like having two pucks on the ice,” said Tennille ‘Kernel Panic’ Barber. A roller derby bout consists of

two 30-minute halves, which consists of plays called ‘jams’. Jams last for up to two minutes but can be ended at any point (more on that below). There is no limit on the number of jams in a period and there is 30 seconds between jams. Last week I went to the Derailers practice to get a taste of the action. My first impression of roller derby was the seeming chaos as the pack skated about and the blockers jockeyed for position. The jammers circled around, trying to break through the madness, and then the play would stop. I was never quite sure why, despite having brushed

Kevin Kraus named Aaron Volpatti re-signs with Canucks Grizzlies GM/coach ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

At only 22-years-old, Kevin Kraus won’t be much older than many of the players he’ll be coaching with the Revelstoke Grizzlies this coming hockey season. Still, he thinks his youth can be an advantage. “Being a young coach as well, I think I can relate to the players a little bit more than somebody older,” he told the Times Review after it was made public that he was taking over as head coach and general manager of the Grizzlies. Kraus joined the Grizzlies as an assistant coach last season and helped head coach Randy Quakenbush guide the team to a first place finish in the conference. He’s been handed the reins of the club after Quakenbush was let go by Grizzlies Sports Entertainment. “Obviously it’s going to be a big jump,” Kraus said. “I learned a lot from Randy and I feel like I can put the things I learned from him and my own philosophies and do my own thing.” Kraus, a native of Garden Grove, California, spent four years playing junior hockey in the Western Hockey League and BC Hockey League. He played for the Kamloops Blazers and Tri-City Americans of the WHL before joining the Vernon Vipers of the BCHL. He capped his junior career by captaining the Vernon Vipers to the RBC Cup, which is given to the top Junior A team in Canada. On top of being head coach, Krause will also act as general manager of the Grizzlies. He faces a number of challenges, notably recruiting players to join him for next season. The turmoil with regards to the team’s future this spring set things back because it was first unclear as to where the team would be playing next year and then who would be coach. “Now I’m trying to get on my horse and get in contact with all the people I know,” he said. “I think most of my recruiting will be done late-July and August when the Junior A teams have

their camps.” As for his coaching style, Kraus described himself as half player-coach, half-hard ass. “I’m not afraid to sit a star player or a fourth line. It’s more a reward system. If you work hard for me, I’ll give you the chance to succeed,” he said. “I’m here in Revy for the same reason they are. I’m trying to get to the next level of my career and so are they. It’s in my best interest to get them there and then I can get there. Kraus said Darren Komonoski would be back as assistant coach and he would looking to hire one more assistant. As for Quakenbush, he said he was “very disappointed” to not be asked back to coach the team. He was let go when the team was sold to 100 Mile House but not brought back after the team was saved in Revelstoke, despite having 15 months left on his contract. “I have respect for Kevin and think that he should do fine,” he said.

Revelstoke native Aaron Volpatti was resigned to a one-year, two-way contract with the Vancouver Canucks,

the team announced last Friday. Volpatti, 27, scored one goal and had 37 penalty minutes in 23 games for the Canucks last season. His sea-

son was cut short by a nagging shoulder injury that required surgery in December. He was on pace to make a return to the lineup during the playoffs but the

Canucks were eliminated in the first round before he fully recovered. The contract will pay him $600,000 if he sticks with the Canucks and $105,000 if he ends up in the minor leagues. Volpatti, who grew up a Canucks fan, was first signed to a twoyear contract by the Canucks as a free agent out of Brown University in March 2010. Over the course of two seasons with the team he recorded two goals and one assist in 38 games, along with 53 penalty minutes. He also played 61 games for the Canuck’s minor league affiliate the Manitoba Moose. The 6’1”, 185-pound forward is known for his hard hits and willingness to drop the gloves.

up on the rule before going. As I watched, it became clearer what was going on. I also had help from A.C. Slayed Her, who explained the action to me. The pack would start first and as soon as everyone was past the start line, the jammers would take off. The first jammer to make it through the pack would become the lead jammer, which gives them the ability to stop the round whenever they want. The lead jammer can call the play if they’ve built up a big lead but also if they’re stuck in the pack, have fallen, or find themselves trailing badly to the opponent. Of course, there are twists. Probably the biggest one is that the pivot can be made into the jammer mid-round with a move called the star pass (for the star the jammers wears on their helmets). When I watched the practise, the black team pulled off a star pass. When the play stopped, Ells was excited. “That was awesome,” she said. “What just happened was amazing on all sides.” A demonstration of the sport is planned for before the bout just so the audience isn’t too confused. For many of the girls, the appeal of the sport is the combination of skill, toughness, teamwork and, yes, sexiness it provides. It’s a real team sport that allows them

to be rough while wearing fishnet stockings and hot pants. Of about 30 girls who have been practising, there will be 14 girls dress for the Derailers at Saturday’s bout and all will have a turn as jammer, though some more than others. The team is bringing in Bradley Foote, aka Coach Lime, to help prepare for the bout and they have just received new jerseys. What about the fans? “They need to stand up and

cheer when a girl in the Derailers jersey with a star on her helmet passes the other team,” said Ells. Sounds easy enough. The Revelstoke Derailers take on the Black Diamond Betties at the Ski Town Showdown on Saturday, June 23, at the Revelstoke Forum.

Libra, there is no time for daydreaming right now. There’s simply too much to get done. Start on small tasks and build up to the larger ones.

Common sense may be what you use to operate, Taurus, but this week a little imagination and spontaneity could be the secret to achieving great success in the next few days.

Sometimes the best growth comes from not knowing where you’re heading, Scorpio. While you may want to have a game plan, let creative energy drive you instead.

Be careful with whom you share your goals, Gemini. While there just may be a few copycats who want to steal your thunder, you could find a promotion is stolen away as well.

Cancer, explore new ways of doing things this week, especially in your professional life. There’s always room to grow and a new perspective might make things easier.

Leo, be careful of a misstep when you move into new territory. Don’t leak information before you have fully developed the ideas, or things could get tricky.

July 23– August 22

Cosmic fog is clouding your reality, Virgo. It is unlikely you will be able to make a sound decision, so it is best to wait a while before tackling difficult or lifealtering projects.

Sagittarius, though right now you can probably get away with saying whatever comes into your mind, it’s better to stick to the subject at hand. Censor yourself a little. Capricorn, a fear of failure may override your ambition. Don’t let these feelings compromise your plan for doing something new and different.

Aquarius, it can be a little challenging to figure out what is bothering you, but be patient. The truth will be revealed in due time. Focus on something else.

Williams Lake defends Big Bear soccer tournament title ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Williams Lake won the men’s side and Ship Mix the women’s side at the 2012 Big Bear soccer tournament last weekend. Ship Mix, which consists of players from the Kamloops area, defeated the Calgary Escape 3-1 on a rain-soaked Queen Elizabeth park field in the women’s final to take the title Just after that, Williams Lake defeated Canmore United 2-0 in the men’s final to take their fourth consecutive championship. The victory is Williams Lakes’ fourth in a row at the tournament. Revelstoke FC led the way for the local teams. It started the tournament with a 4-0 victory over Nakusp and then defeated Golden

Matt Giroux of Revelstoke FC kicks the ball past the goalkeeper in Revelstoke’s 4-0 win over Nakusp on Saturday. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

3-0 in its second game of the group stage. That set the stage for a tie-

breaker against Vic-Van Nelson on Sunday morning, which Revelstoke FC won on penlty kicks.

The team’s run ended against a strong Canmore team. A tired Revelstoke FC fell behind 1-0 in the

first half and gave up two more goals in the second half in the loss. Revelstoke’s other men’s team didn’t fare so well, losing 4-0 to Banff and 3-0 to Vernon on Saturday. Revelstoke’s women’s team beat Calgary 1-0 before losing to Okanagan Hardwood Fusion 1-0 on Saturday. The tournament was hampered by heavy rains over the weekend that affected play and forced the closure of the Track Field in favour of the smaller Bronco Field. Despite the rain, a small group of fans spent the weekend under the cover of the beer tent at Queen Elizabth Park, alternating between watching Euro 2012 action on the television and the action on the field.

Obituaries Kenneth Collier Dec. 1, 1921 - June 1, 2012

With sadness we announce the passing of Kenneth Harden Collier. Ken worked for the BC Fire Marshal’s of¿ce from 1953-1986 and was Commissioner of Fire Safety 1979-1986. Born in Kamloops and growing up in Vancouver, Ken was a natural athlete who excelled at lacrosse and soccer, perhaps inspired by his maternal grandfather who was captain of the Glasgow Celtics. Ken developed a lifelong love of music, learning trumpet and later playing in the Westminster Regiment marching band in many PNE parades. In WW2 Ken volunteered for overseas service and was a machinist in the army, a trade he had learned at Hastings Brass. He joined the Fire Marshal's of¿ce on the provincial hydrant standardization project and then as inspector. He completed a degree in Public Administration and later achieved his Fire Engineering credentials (IFE). He became Deputy Fire Marshal and later Commissioner of Fire Safety. Over the years Ken evolved from a man of quiet reserve to an entertaining speaker and story-teller. His many interests included salmon ¿shing with friend Mike Sheldon, and gol¿ng with his ¿re service friends and Burnaby Mountain Seniors' Golf Club. Ken married Anne Skrypnyk of Revelstoke in 1949 and they enjoyed 40 years together raising daughters Sharon and Maureen, enjoying their home and beautiful garden and many adored dogs. Sadly, Anne passed away in 1989. Older brother Bill also predeceased him. Ken will be remembered as a kind, warm-hearted, generous person who valued his many enduring friendships. He deeply loved his family and received in return our great respect for his integrity and compassion. He was a truly honourable man.

Top RSS students earn 2011/12 awards Times Review staff

Revelstoke Secondary School handed out its annual awards last Thursday at a ceremony that also saw them honour several retiring teachers and staff. Leslie Opatril and Eric Schwenck won the two big awards. Opatril was given the Henrietta Nelson award for the student with the best combined average in grades 11 & 12 combined. Schwenck won the award for the best all-around student for his combination of academics, athletics and service to the school. Brittany Evans won the Bernard Nelson trophy as the school’s top athlete, while Kirill Dubrovskiy took the John Campbell Award for outstanding dedication and effort in extra-curricular activities.

The RSS graduation ceremony takes place on Friday, June 29. Retiring science teacher Gord Robinson and long-time secretary Brenda Diebert were also honoured and received big ovations from the students. Other award winners were as follows: Athletics: • Top Grade 8 Female – Claire Asmundson • Top Grade 8 Male – Jack Callaghan • Top Junior Female – Megan Evans • Top Junior Male – Chris Andrews • Top Senior Female – Delyth Harper • Top Senior Male – Peter Behncke • Athletic-Academic Junior – Megan Evans

STRAIGHT FACTS ABOUT BC HYDRO SMART METERS We started installing smart meters in Revelstoke last month. You may have questions about this new technology and what it can do for you. Here are some important facts about the new meters: New Meters Are Safe Smart meters are safe, as conﬁrmed by international, federal and provincial health and science authorities including B.C.’s Provincial Health Ofﬁcer. The radio frequency from a smart meter over 20 years is equivalent to a single 30 minute cell phone call. Your Information Remains Private Similar to online banking systems, the data from the meters is secure and your privacy is protected. Smart meters report your total power use to BC Hydro for billing and cannot detect how you are using your power. Help Reduce Waste and Keep Rates Low The new meters provide more information about the status of the grid, which will reduce wasted electricity, lower operating costs and help keep rates among the lowest in North America. New Customer Tools to Manage Energy Use and Save Money New meters will enable new conservation tools that you can use to manage and conserve your energy use by up to 15 per cent, helping you save money.

Visit us at bchydro.com/smartmeters or call us at 1800 BCHYDRO.

For 50 years, BC Hydro has been providing clean, reliable electricity to you.

Brenda Diebert, a fixture at the front-desk at Revelstoke Secondary School for decades, gets a hug and a bouquet of flowers from student Chris Wadey. Diebert is retiring after 35 years at RSS. She was a student there when the old high school opened and leaves just after the new one was finished. She received a standing ovation at Thursday’s award ceremony. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Today we are planning for the next 50 years by investing in new projects, upgrading existing facilities and working with you to conserve energy through Power Smart.
