Casey Brown ﬂows down to #1

Revelstoke’s Casey Brown was victorious in the downhill at the Canadian Mountain Biking Championships in Mont Ste. Anne, Quebec, last Sunday. Brown finished the course in 5:12.016, for a nearly-five second victory over runner-up Lauren Rosser. “It went really good. Pulled it off with the win today. The track conditions were great, and dried up quite a bit so I was able to run with a higher tire pressure,” said Brown who received her first Canadian Champion jersey. “I am gonna go to Crankworx [in Whistler] to do a couple of races and then to world champs.” Last year Brown finished second behind Clare Buchar. Matt Beer of Newfoundland won the men’s competition. Photo by Dave Hord, Squamish BC

Proposed changes to Kootenay-Columbia riding could alter political map ALEX COOPER

Lyn and Denny Kaulback (centre) of the Revelstoke Theatre Company were awarded the Diamond of the Year award at Mainstage 2012 in Kamloops, B.C., on Saturday. The stalwarts of the Revelstoke theatre scene received the award at the theatre festival’s closing ceremony. They were the stars of Mending Fences, Revelstoke’s production at the provincial theatre festival. They received the Theatre BC Diamond of the Year award is for their work in the promotion and encouragement of community theatre over the past year by providing opportunities for participation, education and sharing the enjoyment of diverse theatre experiences. The Revelstoke Theatre Company performed Mending Fences at Mainstage 2012 last Saturday, July 28. The performance wrapped up a successful string of shows of the play for the company.

Proposed new changes to federal election ridings could have a significant impact on upcoming elections and create a more competitive race for election in the riding of KootenayColumbia The changes would see Revelstoke’s riding of Kootenay-Columbia expanded to include the NPD strongholds of Nelson and Salmo, as well as Fruitvale, which are currently in the riding of B.C. Southern Interior. That could make for a closer federal election for Conservative MP David Wilks, who won by close to 10,000 votes in the 2011 election. Other factors would likely have to come into play for an NDP candidate to make up the vote difference, even with the

addition of Nelson. The changes are being made as part of a once-a-decade review of riding boundaries by the Federal Election Boundaries Commission for British Columbia. The number of ridings in the province will be increased to 42 from 36 but five of the new ridings will be in the Lower Mainland and the other on Vancouver Island. The changes to Kootenay-Columbia would see it go from one of the least populated ridings in the province to one of the most populated, with 109,058 people, up from the current population of 88,028. Conservative MP David Wilks holds the House of Commons seat for Kootenay Columbia. “I’m quite happy the commission has been able to find a

Two reports look at emission reductions and expanding district energy system ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

City staff recommended that council adopt two plans that would set greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for Revelstoke and look at expanding the district energy system The Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP) and District Energy Expansion Plan (DEEP) were both scheduled to go in front of council at its Tuesday, July 10, meeting. Staff is recommending council adopt the plans and begin the process of drafting a bylaw for the Official Community Plan that would sign the plans into law. The recommendation comes with two reports – one exploring the expansion of the district energy system and the other looking at ways Revelstoke can reduce its emissions. The latter sets greenhouse gas reduction targets of eight per cent by 2020 and 15 per cent by 2030. The plans are based on environmental goals set out

in the Official Community Plan. “District heating has the potential to help Revelstoke accomplish these goals by increasing energy self-reliance, keeping energy dollars in the community, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reinforcing Smart Growth principles, and providing further support for directing development towards existing neighbourhoods,” states the DEEP report. The DEEP report explores expansion of the energy system to three areas – central Revelstoke & Southside, the highway corridor and Revelstoke Mountain Resort. It makes numerous recommendations, including: - Directing development to high-density nodes in each neighbourhood. - Developing policy to promote district heating in the highway corridor, including potentially making it mandatory for new buildings. - Talking to RMR about its future development plans and potential use of the district energy system.

It also recommends having smaller energy plants in the resort and highway areas rather than relying solely on the existing biomass plant in order to reduce piping costs. “Link pipe costs to deliver heat to the Resort and Highway Corridor areas are too high to justify connecting these neighbourhoods to a central plant,” the report states. “As well, neighbourhood scale plants are easier to phase and less susceptible to financial risks associated with stranded or under-utilized equipment.” The CEEP report looks at Revelstoke’s current energy emissions and sets out strategies for reaching reduction goals. “CEEP is a dynamic and thorough plan that will inform the future planning and decision making processes of City of Revelstoke,” the report states. “CEEP will encourage and facilitate energy conservation and GHG emission reduction at the community level.” The plan makes 17 recommendations to achieve the tar-

gets set out. They include: - Focusing development to increase density and make use of the district energy system; - Encouraging alternate transportation options such as cycling, car sharing and walking. - Expanding the district energy system; - Promoting energy-efficient building and development; - Implementing curbside recycling for all homes and businesses and working on curbside organics pickup; - Implementing a comprehensive public education campaign for both homeowners and businesses. “Successful implementation requires collaboration between the City of Revelstoke, the public, local organizations and businesses and other partners that have been identified throughout the CEEP process,” the report states. If approved, a public open house will take place at the community centre on July 25 from 6-8 p.m.

Boundary changes ‘crazy’ from page 1 way to increase the population,” Wilks said. “I’m looking forward to seeing what the local submissions will be and also that of Members of Parliament if they are able to make their submission as well.” John Chisamore, the president of the KootenayColumbia NDP Riding Association, said he did not think the changes will go through as proposed. “From a political point of view I think it could be helpful for us in Kootenay-Columbia because Nelson is traditionally NDP.”. Alex Atamanenko, the NDP MP for B.C. Southern Interior, said the proposed shuffle “doesn’t make any sense,” because it separates Nelson from Trail and Castlegar. “It’s crazy,” said Atamanenko, who was first elected in 2006 and prefers the current configuration, which is “a workable riding.” The proposed boundaries are now in the public review phase. John Hall, a B.C. Court of Appeal justice who headed the three-member commission here, encouraged people to tell him what they think. “A lot of the Interior stuff is certainly not set in stone, because those are big ridings, territorially, and it will be interesting to hear what people have to say,” Hall said. The commission kicks off a province-wide series of public hearings in September. The closest hearings to Revelstoke will be in Cranbrook on Oct. 1, Nelson on Oct. 2, Kelowna on Oct. 10 and Kamloops on Oct. 11. All hearings are at 7 p.m. Anyone wishing to speak at the hearing must register by Aug. 30. Registration can be done online or by mail.

Drunk driving trial nearly wraps up after almost five years in court MAN PRONOUNCED GUILTY OF DANGEROUS AND IMPAIRED DRIVING SIX YEARS AFTER CRASH NEAR ROGERS PASS ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

An Alberta man was found guilty Revelstoke court last week in connection with a September 2006 crash in Rogers Pass that destroyed the motor home that was going to be used for Florida governor Jeb Bush’s re-election campaign. The verdict by Judge Edmund De Walle nearly wraps up a trial that began almost four years ago and fell by the wayside when the accused’s lawyer retired before closing arguments were read. A few months ago it was brought back up again and returned to Rev-

elstoke court. All that’s left is the sentencing, which might not happen until the fall, depending on the court’s schedule. Last Wednesday, July 4, De Walle heard closing arguments in the case, with Melissa Klages representing the accused in court. The trial concerned a crash that saw a pick-up truck collide with a motor home in Rogers Pass in the late afternoon of Sept. 29, 2006. The court heard that Adam Mark Ciesielski was attempting to pass a slow-moving vehicle on a longstraight away when the collision occurred. He pulled out across the

broken line, into the path of an oncoming motor-home that was being driven to Florida for use in Jeb Bush’s re-election campaign, the court heard. Ciesieleski swerved to avoid the motor home but wound up scraping the side of it, causing an estimated $147,000 worth of damage. After the crash, Cieselski and front-seat passenger ate bread buns and threw away the beer cans they were drinking, the court heard. A third passenger was injured. The RCMP officer that attended the scene notice signs of impairment on Ciesielski. Ciesielski was charged with dan-

judgment and pronounced Ciesielski guilty on all three counts. De Walle pointed out that Ciesielski was drinking beer while driving and made a deliberate and dangerous attempt to pass. “In my view that deliberate act on the part of the accused qualifies as dangerous,” De Walle said. “Clearly it wasn’t a case of simple carelessness. This was a case of driving that was deliberate.” Sentencing will be set for a future date, and prosecutor Bill Hilderman indicated the Crown will be seeking a jail sentence.

The trial began on Sept. 3, 2008 and continued until July 26, 2010, when a date was supposed to be set to wrap up the trail. After that, nothing happened until March 2012 when Ciesielski re-appeared on the court docket.

Zoning bylaw for Area B heading to CSRD board ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

A draft zoning bylaw for Area B, the rural area around Revelstoke, has been sent to the board of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District for first reading. The proposed bylaw would establish land-use regulations for the rural regions surrounding Revelstoke, which stretches from Mica in the north to Trout Lake in the south, and Glacier National Park in the east to Eagle Pass in the west. Currently only rural Revelstoke is covered by a zoning bylaw; the new bylaw would replace the current bylaw and extend it to cover the entire Area B. “It will essentially provide land-use regulations for the entire electoral area,” explained Jan Thingsted, a planner with the CSRD. “It provides the regulatory component the OCP doesn’t offer.” The bylaw sets regulations for everything from parcel sizes to set backs to the number of rooms allowed in a bed & breakfast (three). It also maps out current land uses in the region and sets out new zoning options, such as rural resource, three types of residential, comprehensive development, highway commercial, industrial, park and more.

“It means there will be a more orderly type of development occurring in the areas now that they’re all zoned,” said Thingsted. “Previously people have been building without any land-use regulations.” Loni Parker, the director for Area B, said reception to the bylaw has been positive, so far. “People in the Trout Lake, Galena Bay, Beaton area are looking forward to being able to shape the growth of their communities.” She added that it will also help smooth over the re-zoning applications for the Shelter Bay development, which is currently in the works.

Available at the following participating ECHO Dealer The sun is out, and looks to stay out for the foreseeable future, but the effects of last month’s heavy rain are still being felt. In Glacier National Park, landslides have resulted in the closure of the Abandoned Rails Trail (pictured), damaged bridges on the Sir Donald/Perley Rock trail, and forced the closure of portions of the Illecillewaet Campground. That’s what happens when it rains 27 out of 30 days in a month, dropping 207mm of wet stuff – 72 per cent more than usual. Meanwhile, BC Hydro announced that it will be raising the water level in the Arrow Lakes Reservoir to maximum full pool in order to handle the increased water loads. That’s 60 centimetres higher than the normal full pool level BC Hydro keeps the reservoir at during spring runoff. Photo courtesy Parks Canada

BC Hydro lends Bear Aware a helping hand SUE DAVIES Revelstoke Bear Aware

BC Hydro recently presented Revelstoke Bear Aware with $3,000 to promote environmental sustainability, and help conserve bears in the Revelstoke area. Revelstoke Bear Aware provides education about how to reduce conflict between bears and humans by reducing bear attractants in our community. The Revelstoke Bear Aware Society has also helped educate BC Hydro’s Mica project workers about bears. The funds provided by BC Hydro will enhance the conservation of both black and grizzly bears by educating people on how to reduce the risk of bears becoming habituated and foodconditioned. Bears conditioned to eating human food can become aggressive and often have to be destroyed. Both species of bears are keystone species in the Columbia Basin and, as such, we cannot afford to be destroying them in our town. “Our mission is to reduce human-bear conflict by reducing the amount of bear attractants in our communities” said Bear Aware co-ordinator Sue Davies. Garbage is the primary bear attractant in Revelstoke, followed by fruit trees, livestock, poorly managed compost, and birdfeeders. Outdoor fridges and freezers, pet food left outside and dirty BBQs are also bear attractants.

Revelstoke Bear Aware urges residents to secure garbage in a garage or lockable shed, and to take down birdfeeders during the summer months. Keep your compost from becoming smelly; never add meat, fish, dairy products, or cooked food. As the season progresses, pick all fruit as or before it becomes ripe. If you have excess fruit or produce, contact Bear Aware at 250-8378624, email beaware@telus.net to arrange for volunteers from The Gleaning Project to collect or pick the fruit and donate it

to the Community Connections Food Bank. Revelstoke Bear Aware will also be hosting a free electric fencing workshop on Aug. 8 for anyone interested in finding out the best way to protect livestock, fruit trees, or other attractants from bears. Please call or see our website for details. For more information on managing your attractants and information on upcoming events, see the Revelstoke Bear Aware website, www.revelstokebearaware.org, or visit the provincial Bear Aware website

at www.bearaware.bc.ca To report bear sightings or problem bears please call the RAPP line at 1-877-925 7277. Revelstoke Bear Aware gratefully acknowledges the financial support of BC Hydro, the Columbia Basin Trust, the Ministry of Environment, BC Conservation Foundation, Revelstoke Credit Union, and Revelstoke Community Foundation. Revelstoke Bear Aware also appreciates the ongoing inkind support from Parks Canada, the CSRD, and the City of Revelstoke.

Reader opposes removing parking on 3rd and 4th for bike lanes Editor: I have read the letter to the editor printed in June 27 paper concerning the bike lanes. I have to agree with the writer that this suggestion of closing of the north side of 4th Street is just absurd. The residents now have to find other parking for those months, which I am sure will be a problem for some as they have no area to create a parking spot on their lot. My other concern is the planned route down 3rd Street. Is this to say all parking on the north side of 3rd Street will also disappear, thus leaving businesses – Powder Springs, Selkirk Dental, H&R Block just to name a few – with no parking for their patrons, never mind all the personal home owners? In addition the post office parking, which uses both sides of the street, will be severely impacted. Have the committee really looked at the harm they could be doing to the city by closing parking spaces? I would suggest that the streets where parking is eliminated that the land owners are entitled to compensation. The last rumour to purchase a parking spot from the city is about $20,000. Thus each home owner, assuming they have 50 foot lot, would have three parking spaces and should be compensated accordingly ($60,000). Or, can the city re-do the streets affected by moving the sidewalks back the necessary distance to allow parking and still have bike lane as well? If this option was taken it would only cost the city tax payers about $10 million to have a bike lane. Either way the

city is going to have to cough up large sums of money to make this happen. I for one do not want to see my taxes go up anymore. I must say I do agree with bike lanes, but at what cost? Would some of the problems encountered with bicyclists and cars be resolved if bike riders had to take a drivers course as they do in Nanaimo. The alternative is to enforce the laws that are in place now and maybe all this would not be necessary. Gordon G Frocklage Revelstoke

We felt so warmly welcomed on the track and around town. Thank you for cheering us on, for partying with us after the game and for supporting your home team! To the Derailers: You ladies are a class-act! Thanks for the fun and challenging game, for putting the friend in friendly-rivalry and for hosting the ultimate Ski Town Showdown!

Huge Derby love to Revelstoke Roller Derby! Whistler Roller Girls – Black Diamond Betties

BEATON ARM GROUP CONTINUES BRIDGE PUSH Editor, British Columbia has an excellent set of detailed guidelines that shepherd planners of large projects through different phases. There are seven steps to these guidelines and they are outlined in a Project Development Life Cycle document. Step 4, Option Generation & Assessment, contains a very important step called Multiple Accounts Evaluation (MAE). In common language this means doing due diligence when assessing the options available. BACA followed these guidelines when putting forward the case last year that a fixed link

is the best option at Galena Bay. We have determined that a fixed link there would cost no more than building a new ferry and running it for 25 years. BACA has done the homework needed to examine in detail what the MAE mandates. It is all part of our Business Case document. It is available on our website: www.arrowbaca.ca. Copies of them were given to the Ministry of Transportation (MoT) after a detailed three hour presentation last year. We have explained our case to others – BC Hydro, Village of Nakusp, CBT, federal and provincial Politicians. It is truly unfortunate that the MoT did not follow their own guidelines when they went through the project development of the new $26.5 million ferry. The MoT estimated $10 million to $15 million tops for the new ferry. Our estimate was $29.8 million in 2011 and it looks like we will be quite accurate. At the time the MoT scoffed at our new ferry estimate but just like the rest of the BACA business case we felt it was accurate and realistic. We recommended that the fixed link option be chosen because it makes more sense from all the five points in the MAE: Financial, Customer Service, Social/Community, Environmental and Economic. MoT is fond of saying that the fixed link would cost hundreds of millions.

This is simply incorrect. The government’s own report done by ND Lea, Buckland, Taylor in 2004 estimates $152 million for the Storm Point bridge and causeway crossing plus $33 million for road approaches. Since then, BACA has proposed a shallower location for the crossing and other options. But the MoT loves to mislead. In a letter to us last month the MoT stated: “With the estimates in the hundreds of millions of dollars the ministry determined that it was not economically feasible to pursue a fixed link.” The ND Lea, Buckland & Taylor report totals $185 million. From the financial point of view alone, the bottom line is that a fixed link makes the best option if you consider a 25 year period, adding the $26.5m new ferry construction budget to the annual operating costs of $5m for the first year and escalating each year. The other benefits of a fixed link are enormous. This is not the first time that decisions were made based on weak information and a lack of due diligence. BACA will continue to work to a final and successful conclusion that will see a fixed link at Beaton Arm. Earl Frerichs and Gene Nagy, BACA Beaton Arm Crossing Association

Ginger & Spice offers up French cuisine in Grizzly Plaza ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

In a town already bursting with great restaurants, another trio is looking to make their mark. Ginger & Spice opened last weekend just off Grizzly Plaza, where Bad Paul’s restaurant used to be. Started by Marie-Eve and Thomas Bruchig, and chef Kyle Jones, the restaurant is the culmination of a vision they’ve had for years. “It was a dream of Thomas and I, and Kyle as well, and we ended just making it a reality,” said Marie-Eve Bruchig last week during a break from frantic preparations for the restaurant’s opening. The vision is of a healthy bistro, she said. “Something casual where people can come and eat, not necessarily on a special event, but have good food and come if they want every week.”

City of Revelstoke

The trio started working on their plan in the spring and they approached the owner of Bad Paul about taking over the space. Marie-Eve said they were attracted by the prime location on Grizzly Plaza, as well as the backyard patio. “The back patio is just a dream to have. I used to work in a place that had a huge patio. Its always been something I loved to maintain and have people out there,” she said. Marie-Eve has been dreaming of opening her own restaurant since she started bussing in her hometown as a teenager. All three have experience working in restaurants in Revelstoke. Jones and Marie-Eve both worked at the Woolsey Creek, while Thomas managed Denny’s. “We all have different areas that we’re good at so we have a good partnership together,” said Marie-Eve. The menu is mostly French-inspired cuisine, but with a bit of an Asian fusion

to it. They will be serving brunch on weekends, lunch during the week, dinner every night and a late-night menu on weekends. The menu features gluten-free and vegetarian options, as well as meaty options like lamb shanks, duck and steak. The french fries are cooked in duck fat and the vinaigrette on the salads is made with champagne. The fish and seafood comes from Ocean Wise certified sources “We try to keep it fresh. Everything’s made here, all the sauces, all the stock, demi – everything’s made here,” said Marie-Eve. “We work from scratch and build it up from there.” Ginger & Spice is open Monday to Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for brunch and 4:30-11:30 p.m. for dinner; and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for brunch and 4:30-9:30 p.m. for dinner. It is located at 114 Mackenzie Avenue.

F-Stop Collective sees Vance Shaw go from campfires to bars ALEX COOPER reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

When Vance Shaw decided he was going to start playing music live, one of the biggest challenges he faced was learning enough songs to carry a night at a bar. “That was why I never thought it would be possible, because I’ve played the same 10 songs for the past 10 years,” said the guitarist and singer from local band F-Stop Collective. “It was that commitment – I have to learn some songs and maybe this could happen.” As he put it, he’d been playing for years, but either by himself at home or with friends at a campfire, so playing in a band in front of a crowd was a learning experience. Shaw started playing gigs last fall. While playing with friends, he met bassist Paul Maz and recruited him to join his band. Along with Mark Skerry on lead guitar and drummers Trevor Wallach and Frank Desrosiers (whoever can make it), they formed the F-Stop Collective and have been playing bars in Revelstoke regularly since late last year. The band plays a mix of Shaw’s originals and covers of songs by the likes of Ben Harper, Paul Simon, the Allman Brothers and Jack Johnson. Shaw estimates the split at about 40-60. Shaw described his songs as “simple, straight-ahead, folky-type

songs.” “I’m definitely attracted to emotional songs,” he said. “I wish I wasn’t because I think I’d be a better band guy if I wasn’t so attracted to emotional songs. You could do more entertaining songs than I end up choosing.” Maz brings the core rhythm to the songs. He has been playing bass for 12 years and, while he has no

I met with Shaw and Maz at the Frontier Restaurant. During our conversation we talked about the challenges of playing in a bar band, where you’re expected to play three sets of music a night. We also talked about learning covers and how you can make them your own and how they influence your own songwriting. Shaw said playing covers helps

formal education on the instrument, he said he spends lots of times talking about and exploring the instrument. The band’s originals are written by Shaw and Maz’s role is to add to the songs through his bass. “It’s a collective experience,” he said. “How can I make this better than it is instead of taking a selfish approach?”

broaden his own “shtick.” “All of a sudden you have to put a chord change someone else came up with you might have never thought of,” he said. “Even though you’re not writing it you get to learn what it takes to write a well-crafted song like that.” For Maz, its about acquiring the chops to be able to play a whole variety of songs and keep people entertained for a night. “Once you get there, the only way is up,” he said. “To be a reputable musician who’s running the show, you have to play all night, have so much in the bag, which is big challenge.” As for the band’s name, that comes from the similarities Shaw sees between photography and music. “You have to have the right combination of rhythm and time and harmonies to make a song,” he said. “You have to have the same combination of F-stop and shutter speeds to make a photo. To me they seem tied. “I also like the term F-stop.” The band has no immediate plans for recording or touring; right now the goal is to have fun and see where that takes them. “I sure enjoy playing and wherever that takes us, I’m stoked,” said Shaw. F-Stop Collective is playing the Summer Street Fest in Grizzly Plaza on Friday, July 13, from 6:30-9:30 p.m.

Gemini, you’re inspired to do something creative. Narrow down the possibilities. Maybe you want to paint indoors or take on a new craft hobby. Either way you’ll find success. November 22–

It can sometimes feel lonely at the top, Sagittarius. Now that you’ve acquired many of the things you wanted, the resulting feelings may not be what you thought.

Even the most organized people can get tripped up once in a while, Cancer. This week you may be unable to keep track of things. Keep your cool, and you will get it under control.

Now may be the time to get serious about your efforts to find a new job, Capricorn. Start doing the legwork and get your name out to new people as much as you can.

December 21

December 22– January 19

Take control of a situation that arises, Leo, because right now it seems no one else is capable of handling the situation. You may prove to be an excellent January 20– leader. February 18

Influential people will be moving in your social circles, Virgo. Failure to introduce yourself and network could lead to setbacks in your employment goals.

Aquaducks finish second at Golden swim meet Contributed by the Revelstoke Aquaducks

The Revelstoke Aquaducks placed second behind the host team this past weekend at the 30th annual Golden Dolphins Invitiational Swim Meet. The sunshine and hot weather provided perfect conditions for racing at the outdoor facility, and the nearby water park and campground added to the enjoyment of the weekend. “This was a fun meet – the most fun we have had yet this season” said Cynthia Pfeiffer, assistant coach and Division 8 competitor. A special “costume relay” on Saturday, featuring Teletubbies, Land of Oz Girls, and Soccer Princesses among others was also a highlight for the 30 Aquaducks who attended.

Head coach Jeff Beatty viewed the two-day competition in Golden as a primer for the upcoming Okanagan Regional Championships in Kamloops in four weeks. “This weekend was an eye opener in terms of competing outdoors in hot weather – staying hydrated and focussed will be important in Kamloops in August,” he said, adding that the swimmers still “managed to swim many best times and break a few meet records”. The Aquaducks managed 16 aggregate awards, including a clean sweep of the Girls Division 1 (Devyn Gale gold, Megan Hoshizaki silver, Makenna Howe bronze) and Girls Division 7 (Emily Pfeiffer gold, Cynthia Pfeiffer silver, Hanna Thomson bronze). The Aquaducks host their home meet this upcoming weekend, bring-

ing about 150 swimmers and their families from various Okanagan communities for two days of competition at the Revelstoke Aquatic Centre. Golden aggregate medalists are: Girls 6 and Under: Kayln Gale, Gold Boys Division 1: Tye Hoshizaki, Gold Girls Division 2: Kimberly Howard, Gold Boys Division 2: James Lebuke, Gold and Nolan Gale, Silver Girls Division 3: Beth Granstrom, Silver Boys Division 3: Colm Molder, Gold Girls Division 5: Gina Cinelli, Bronze Boys Division 5: Bryce Molder, Silver Boys Division 8: Jeff Beatty, Gold
