Employee nabs alleged voyeur at aquatic centre Alex Cooper

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

A Revelstoke man has been charged with voyeurism after being caught by community centre staff allegedly trying to take pictures of people in the change room.

According to the Revelstoke RCMP, a community centre staff member was conducting their rounds when they saw a male who appeared to be using his cell phone to look under change room doors. The incident took place in the family change room.

“Obviously they run a pretty tight ship and they’re conducting rounds of the facility which is a very commendable thing,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Dan

Moskaluk.

The employee detained the male until the RCMP arrived. The man was arrested, and his cell phone seized. He has since been released on conditions, including not being allowed to visit the community centre.

The RCMP executed a search warrant on the man’s home on Jan. 9, and seized his home computer, which has been sent for forensic examination.

In light of the incident, the City of Revelstoke is working with the RCMP to review its security measures to ensure the comfort and safety of all community centre clients.

The 38-year-old Revelstoke man will make his first court appearance on Wednesday, Feb. 6.

The Revelstoke RCMP is asking anyone who has observed any suspicious behaviour at the community centre in the past few months to contact them at 250837-5255.

What security measures does the aquatic centre have in place?

After learning about the above incident, I met with Laurie Donato, the City of Revelstoke’s director of parks and recreation, to ask her about security measures at the aquatic centre.

After four days of taking pictures in and around Revelstoke, Royce Sihlis emerged as the winner of the Revelstoke Photographer Challenge.

Sihlis, 24, who grew up in Revelstoke and now calls Kamloops home, won for his slideshow Work and Play. He won $1,000 and a season pass at Revelstoke Mountain Resort for his efforts.

Zoya Lynch finished second and also won the the People’s Choice Award. Jessika Hunter, from Banff, finished third.

Hans Christian Gulsvik from Whistler, and Revelstoke’s Adam Souter also took part in the challenge.

The photographers had four days, from Jan. 4-7, to go out with their athletes and take as many pictures as possible in and around Revelstoke. They presented their slideshows at a nearly-sold-out show at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre last Tuesday.

The Times Review spoke to Sihlis after the event to learn more about his work: How does it feel to win the Revelstoke Photographer Showdown?

“It’s pretty cool. It’s quite the honour. I missed the comp last year so I was really hoping to make it in, and it’s even cooler to win it.”

Did you have a concept going in?

“I wanted to show people more than just skiing.

For the average person skiing is skiing, but I wanted to show them behind the scenes and what goes on in the ski world.”

How did you get access to the resort for the night shots and behind-the-scenes photos?

“I’ve got two good friends from high school that are groomers up there. One of the guys actually skied for me and later that night I went out on the cat with him. I ended up skiing back down by myself and ended up getting that shot of the city.”

How long have you been a photographer for?

“I’ve been shooting for about five years now. I’ve had my business for a couple of years and I just went full-time before Christmas. I’m full time shooting skiing and shooting weddings in summer?”

How did you get into photography?

“By chance after high school I bought a nice camera, an SLR, and a passion just took off from there.”

What’s you favourite thing to shoot?

“Probably skiing because it’s my favourite thing to do. It’s passion, it’s fun, it’s relaxing, it’s adventure. I still really enjoy shooting weddings but I grew up skiing so that’s where my heart is at.”

What would be your dream photo assignment?

“Dream photo assignment... Probably shooting for a large ski company or outerwear company, doing some kind of shoot in Alaska, something heli, something really out there, something different.”

What do you shoot with?

“I’ve got a Canon 5D Mark 2, a Canon 1D Mark 2, and a big bag full of lenses.”

Man gets two years in jail for beating baby A HOME FOR THE HUNTS Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

This story contains disturbing details of assault on an infant.

Caution is advised.

A Revelstoke man was sentenced to two years in jail for what the judge called a “horrendous” attack of a “defenseless infant” by a “cruel and indifferent father.”

“These were serious, prolonged and countless attacks against a child who was the man’s responsibility,” said Justice Mayland McKimm in Revelstoke court last Wednesday, Jan. 9.

The man, 20, who cannot be identified due to a publication designed to protect the identity of the witness, had previously pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm for a series of incidents against the weeks-old infant.

According to the circumstances read out in court by Crown prosecutor Angela Ross, bruises were first noticed on the infant’s mouth, legs, cheeks and back when he was only a few weeks old, however X-rays showed no signs of any broken

bones.

About six weeks later, the infant was brought back to the doctor, when more bruising was found on the back, arm, foot and scrotum.

This time, X-rays showed several rib fractures, a fracture of the lower-left leg, and a healing fracture on the lower-right leg.

RCMP and the Ministry of Children and Family Development were notified and the child was placed in foster care.

When first approached by police, the man admitted to squeezing the baby in frustration and that he had anger problems.

Later, after taking a polygraph test, he admitted to a number of assaults on the baby, including squeezing his legs and pulling them apart. He told police he once put the entire weight of his body on the baby’s legs.

He once squeezed the baby for so long “he could feel the baby stop breathing and feel his ribs cave in,” said Ross.

He then threw the baby under the bed, picked him up by his legs and flicked his testicles.

Chris Johnston, the man’s lawyer, tried to have the sentence

reduced by noting the man’s remorse for his actions and his co-operation with police. He was immature, in a new relationship, suddenly faced with the burdens of fatherhood and being the bread winner for his family, and he had anger issues.

The man said he wasn’t angry, despite how it may seem.

“I’m trying to get my life back on track and fix myself so some day I might be able to have a relationship with my son,” he said in court.

Justice McKimm sentenced him to two years in jail and three years of probation, with the conditions that not be in contact with anyone under the age of 14 unless permitted; not enter any public park, school, playground or day care; and attend counselling, including anger management.

“He is clearly a young man that has anger issues that are so severe he is able to vent them on a helpless infant,” said McKimm.

He seemed to weigh the possibilty of a longer sentence, but precedent indicated two years was the norm in other, similar cases.

An exciting new opportunity is coming to Revelstoke. Habitat for Humanity Kelowna, a leader in building affordable housing for those in need, is pairing with the Revelstoke Community Housing Society in this pilot project. Pauline Hunt has ALS, a progressive and debilitating illness that causes paralysis and requires costly patient care in its latter stages.

Changes already made after voyeur incident from page 1 She told me the lifeguards conduct change room patrols every 30 minutes when they rotate positions. It was on one of those checks that the alleged voyeur was caught by a lifeguard, who asked not to be identified.

“She did a great job,” said Donato. “It was pretty big for her to catch him. Everybody was really disturbed that that happened. She was very calm, asked him for his phone. He gave her his phone and he followed her out to the front lobby area.”

Donato said they are looking to see if they should do more frequent sweeps of the change rooms.

“I don’t know if it’s realistic to do it every 15 minutes,” she said.

“It makes it quite awkward for the guards. Every half hour is adequate but we have had that discussion if we need to do more frequent bathroom checks.”

She led me into the family change room where the man was found. She told me he was sliding a cell phone under the doors of a closed change room. The doors all have a small gap at the bottom that is only about an inch high; it is there to allow water from the showers to flow out. It looked almost impossible to sneak a cell phone under there, let alone take a picture, but Donato said it was still possible.

“You’d be shocked when you

put your iPhone at how high up you can see.”

In response to the incident, “sweeps” were installed at the bottom of the doors to make the gap even smaller and prevent similar incidents.

Donato also pointed out that cellphones and other personal electronic devices are not allowed to be used inside the change rooms; there are signs on the door to each one saying so.

“I think everybody is more alert now and more aware of the use of these types of things in change room facilities,” she said.

“If anyone feels uncomfortable, we encourage them to report it to us and we’ll follow up with it.”

More snowmobiles stolen in Revelstoke ALEX COOPER

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

The plague of snowmobile thefts continued in Revelstoke last week, with three more reported as stolen.

Two snowmobiles that belonged to visitors from the United States, who were staying with a friend on the 500 block of Third Street West, were stolen early Thursday morning.

According to the friend, Matt Yaki, the snowmobiles were locked up and the

trailer was locked to the car. Sometime between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m. some thieves came by, cut the locks and made off with the trailer and snowmobiles.

The snowmobiles are a 2009 Skidoo Summit X with a 163” track, and a 2010 Skidoo Summit with a 154” track. They have Oregon and Washington license plates on them.

The trailer is described as two-sled tilt trailer with a 60-centimetre high shield in the front.

As well, a snowmobile and trailer

were stolen from a home in Southside sometime late Tuesday or early Wednesday. It was reported stolen Thursday morning and found at the Last Spike historic site west of Revelstoke that afternoon, said Staff Sgt. Jacquie Olsen.

Finally, two snowmobiles that were stolen from the Sandman Inn on Dec. 30/31 were found in Kelowna, said Olsen.

Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to contact the Revelstoke RCMP at 250-837-5255.

Online sleuthing leads to sled recovery near Nakusp, arrests CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Black Press

When a Surrey man vacationing in Sun Peaks became the victim of a thief, he became a digital detective, scouring the web in an effort that led to the return of his $7,000 snowmobile and the arrest of two people believed to have stolen it.

Kamloops Rural RCMP say the man was on holidays at the ski resort 45 minutes northeast of Kamloops and had enjoyed an afternoon of snowmobiling on Jan. 3.

He had left on his trailer another machine, a 2009 Skidoo Summit XP, valued at $7,000.

When he returned from his snowmobile outing, the skidoo and trailer he had left behind were gone.

The trailer was found days later on a back road in nearby Louis Creek.

The victim decided to check several online sales sites and came across his

Summit being sold on kijiji.com for half its value.

The owner started an email conversation with the seller and, at the same time, contacted police.

He eventually arranged to meet the seller in Nakusp to buy the Summit. The seller said he was a two-hour drive away.

Kamloops Rural Mounties, working with their counterparts in the Nakusp and Slocan Valley detachments, went to work, creating a plan to intercept the delivery.

On Wednesday, Jan. 9, officers from the two RCMP Kootenay detachments stopped a Honda CRV with two Kamloops residents inside — a 30-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman.

The pair was hauling the stolen Skidoo Summit XP on a trailer that may also have been stolen.

The couple claimed they had bought the machine a week earlier in Sun Peaks for 25 per cent of its value, a story that

raised the eyebrows of Mounties.

Why? Well, it turns out the man driving the Honda that was hauling the stolen Skidoo is the same man who, a week earlier, had tried to sell skis stolen from Sun Peaks in late December.

The owner of the skis told police, who set up a meeting with the man in a parking lot in Kelowna and seized the skis, as well as two laptop computers.

The man remains under investigation for that incident and declined to comment on the similarities of his sale of stolen skis via kijiji the week earlier, the sale of a stolen snow machine on the same website and the use of stolen licence plates on his Honda.

He is scheduled to appear in provincial court in Nakusp.

Police say the man was using an iPhone application to access a different gmail account each time he was selling items on kijiji.

Power restored after train catches Telus cable, pulls down hydro poles west of Revelstoke ALEX COOPER

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Businesses west of Revelstoke are seeking compensation after a power outage cost them a weekend’s worth of business.

The power went out west of Revelstoke early Friday morning after a train snagged a low-hanging Telus cable. The cable held strong, but four electric poles were dragged down, said BC Hydro spokesperson Jen Walker-Larsen.

Power wasn’t restored until 8 p.m. on Saturday, but by then an entire weekend’s worth of business was lost.

At the Peaks Lodge, owner Tara-Lea Sharman said she had to refund customers for three sold-out nights of bookings – Thursday, Friday and Saturday – and close the restaurant.

“I lost about $20,000 worth of business,” she said.

Across the highway, at the Great White North restaurant, two big parties and Sunday brunch were cancelled as the restaurant had to close down for two days.

“That’s a pretty big hit for a small business like us,” said owner Jason Worby. “It was brutal for us, it was a bit of a nightmare.”

He said they’d already been in contact with BC Hydro about compensation for their losses.

The repairs to the downed poles took longer than expected due to the deep snow and steep slopes at the site, said Walker-Larsen. She said eight new power poles were installed alongside the Trans-Canada Highway to provide easier access and higher clearance along the railway line.

“BC Hydro thanks West Revelstoke customers for their patience especially with the cold weather,” she said,

Council debates re-zoning application with long-term implications on resort Application to re-zone part of proposed golf course lands passes first reading, despite reservations by some councillors Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

A divided City Council gave first reading to an Official Community Plan amendment and rezoning bylaws that could have significant impact on the future development of the golf course at Revelstoke Mountain Resort.

The proposed re-zoning, which was first reported on by the Times Review on Nov. 28. 2012, would see a 56-acre property of land that is designated as part of the resort lands re-designated as rural residential.

Up for debate was an application that could result in lower taxes for the land owner, but would have long-term implications for city planning and RMR. The re-zoning application was made by Mc-Kids Holding Ltd., a company owned by Jack McKinnon. The property was supposed to be purchased by Northland Properties, but in 2010 Northland did not follow through on the purchase agreement. The Nichol Road property sits roughly in the middle of the resort’s proposed golf course.

City Planning Director John Guenther told council the rezoning wouldn’t preclude a golf course, but it would present a significant change.

“This would have an impact as far as that development is concerned,” he said. “We believe from a zoning and land-use perspective it’s not a bad move, it’s somewhat neutral. From a longrange perspective we would not want to exclude it from the resort but in the shorter-term, in the next five years, it’s probably not a bad step to take.”

In November, Carl Rankin, the

real estate agent for McKinnon, told the Times Review the application was being made for tax purposes. The property had been recently re-assessed as commercial, meaning the taxes on it more than quadrupled. The re-zoning would bring the taxes back to what they were before.

Mayor David Raven called the move a step backward and wondered about what it could mean for the resort and any agreements they might have. If we agree to re-zone, does it become our issue if they can’t meet their obligations with respect to the sale of condos? he asked.

Coun. Gary Starling, who voted against the first reading, asked about the tax implications and he also questioned the longterm implications.

“I don’t see the need to make wholesale changes of this nature and taking a step backwards when it may affect long-term planning that was discussed, dealt with and a lot of hours put into it,” he said.

“This change didn’t happen overnight, it was long term planning, and now we’re looking at taking a huge step backwards and I just don’t see it as beneficial.”

He also said it could lead to the city being forced to go into another re-zoning and OCP amendment process years down the road, if the parcel ever gets sold to the resort.

Coun. Tony Scarcella, who also voted against first reading, asked if the re-zoning could have legal implications for the city.

“We believe it’s worthy of going to a public hearing,” replied Guenther. “Council is the final decision maker. Really, I don’t think the legal exposure is very great.”

Coun. Chris Johnston said he had a similar reaction to Starling, but he felt it worthy of giving first reading and going to a public hearding.

“We’re only at first reading and just dipping our toes in at this point,” he said. “I would like to hear further as this goes through and give the owner a fair opportunity to make their case.”

Tim Palmer, the city’s Chief Administrative Officer, wrote in the staff report that the re-zoning could have substantial OCP impacts on all resort lands and that council “should be clear on the long term intent for community development with OCP changes.”

“This has a feel to it that it’s for short-term decision making rather than long-term. Definitely the financial picture on OCP amendments shouldn’t be tax motivated,” he told council. “As soon as we open it up, it’s opening up a much bigger question on the long-range vision of the community and the resort development. I do have concerns and that’s why I articulated that in my comments as well.”

In the end, the bylaws passed first reading, with couns. Starling and Scarcella voting against it.

From here it will proceed to further readings and a public hearing.

Council sends anti-smoking bylaw back to staff for clarity Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke city council has asked staff to provide more clarity on several definitions in an anti-smoking bylaw, after concerns were raised at a meeting of council on Tuesday.

Coun. Chris Johnston said he was concerned that council might be over stepping its reach by passing the Clean Air Amendment Bylaw as is.

The bylaw, if passed, would ban smoking inside all public buildings or “within a building open to the public whether by invite or through business operation.”

Johnston questioned what that meant. Did it mean someone wouldn’t be able to smoke inside their office if customers were welcome in, he asked.

“I’m not for having people smoking all over the place but I am seeking

clarity on it and making sure we’re not sticking our nose in where it shouldn’t be,” he said.

The rest of council seemed to agree with him, and they voted to send the bylaw back to staff for further clarity.

They also asked for clarity on a second part of the bylaw that would ban smoking “inside a motor vehicle or equipment owned or leased by the City, or used for City work or break purposes.”

Council asked what that would mean for contractors working for city.

The proposed bylaw would also ban smoking within eight metres of the entrance of any public building, inside any vehicles and equipment owned by the city; near playgrounds, beaches and playing fields; at the cemetery, and during outdoor special events.

The penalty is a fine of up to $200.

ON THE BEAT

BY ALEX COOPER

Covering court in Revelstoke is a strange affair. It’s a mix of the mundane, the bizarre and, recently, the highly disturbing.

Court takes place in Revelstoke the first Wednesday and Thursday of every month. Wednesday is for short matters – first appearances, arraignment hearings, applications, sentencings, and short small claims and family court matters.

It’s a hodge podge of cases that frequently get put off, sometimes come to a quick conclusion, and often leave the public at the back somewhat bewildered as to what’s going on. I’ve seen cases get adjourned for several months in a row, and sometimes a guilty plea is entered and everything is wrapped up in hours.

Most of the infractions seem to involve impaired driving, or driving without a license.

Sometimes there’s violent assault or drug possession charges on the docket. Those I pay attention to and, depending on the circumstances, will write about in the newspaper. My general rule is to write about people who put the public at risk – whether its through

a case of dangerous driving, violent assault, or higher-level drug dealing. Or it could something even more nefarious like the child pornography charges that are working their way through the system.

The court has a rhythm that I’ve gotten used to, but one thing that is clear is that the system has major issues. I recently covered the conclusion of one case that sat idle for several years after the defence lawyer retired just before closing remarks. I guess he didn’t think it was important to wrap up his business before enjoying the rest of his life.

This months court day seemed particularly interesting. First, the courtroom was cleared when the child pornography case started. It’s the first time that’s ever happened in my three years of covering Revelstoke court. The case was adjourned to next month.

Most interesting is Revelstoke’s newest judge, Mayland McKimm. McKimm was appointed a judge in early 2012 and started in Revelstoke in June. When he started, his manner in court was surprising.

He could be very jocular, verging on innappropriate, when talking to an accused person.

Fortunately, it seems he’s toned that down. How would you like to see a judge chortling when your future is at stake?

More significantly, he’s taken the court to task for the delays and backlogs that plague the system. He’s shown little tolerance for adjournments and he also shows interest in keep-

ing the trial list clean.

One of the bigger issues in Revelstoke court is there’s often more trial time scheduled than there is time to hold a trial.

Often, two or so days worth of trials can be scheduled for the one day of trial time Revelstoke is currently allotted.

This month really illustrated the problem. There were four cases set for trial confirmation hearings and each were set for a half-day trial on Thursday, Feb. 7. Obviously, those numbers don’t add up.

Further adding to the problem is the fact three of the trials had already been delayed once before. First up for trial confirmation was Matthew Murray Devlin, who was charged with impaired driving on Feb. 6, 2010. His first trial date in May 2011 was postponed when he failed to appear.

Then there was Michael Darrell Robinson, a serial offender who this time is facing assault charges. His trial was previously set for last September, but was delayed due to a clogged trial list that month.

The other delayed trial was Cameron Paul Thomson. His impaired trial was stopped in August after a mistrial was declared when the Crown prosecutor said she had a conflict with one of the witnesses.

Finally, there was Chad Lott – also facing an impaired charge – who’s trial was the only one to not yet be delayed, so he was the first scratched off February’s trial list.

Then it came down to deciding which two of the three tri-

als should proceed. Robinson, being a case of assault, was put on the list because of the violent nature of the charges.

Devlin was also scheduled for February because his charges were already three years old. That meant Thomson’s trial was delayed once more, prompting his lawyer Melissa Klages to indicate she would seek to have it thrown out of court on account of insitutional delay.

The problem is Revelstoke just doesn’t have enough trial days. While often one day is enough (this month there were no trials on Thursday), there are many instances where one day just isn’t enough. In those cases, the court system needs to be able to allot a second day for trials when required.

This shouldn’t be too hard to do. Trials are scheduled months in advance so the administrators should be able to know when an extra day is needed and plan in advance. If circumstances (such as a guilty plea or stay before the trial) dictate that the trial get cancelled, then we’ll end up paying a judge to stay at home. Still, that’s better than the alternative of having someone dragged through the court system for years, or having a potential criminal get off because of problems with the system.

Of course, this would mean hiring more judges, which means more funding, something the B.C. government needs to provide, hopefully with support from Ottawa withit’s “tough on crime” agenda.

Co m m u n i t y Local groups join One Billion Rising campaign to stop violence against women

www.revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke Women’s Shelter Society, Community Response Network joining together for local event to raise awareness of issue Contributed by the Revelstoke Community Response Network

On February 14 at 6:30 p.m., the community of Revelstoke will join with activists around the world for One Billion Rising, the largest day of action in the history of V-Day, the global activist movement to end violence against women, girls and vulnerable members of our community.

One Billion Rising began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that one in three women on the planet will be

beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than one billion women and girls.

On Feb. 14, V-Day’s 15th anniversary, the Revelstoke Women’s Shelter Society and the Revelstoke Community Response Network will join activists, writers, thinkers, celebrities, and women and men across the world as we express their outrage, demand change, strike, dance, and rise in defiance of the injustices women suffer, demanding an end at last to violence against women.

“When we started V-Day 14 years ago, we

had the outrageous idea that we could end violence against women,” said Eve Ensler, the founder of V-Day. “Now, we are both stunned and thrilled to see that this global action is truly escalating and gaining force, with union workers, parliament members, celebrities, and women of all backgrounds coming forward to join the campaign. When we come together on February 14, 2013, to demand an end to violence against women and girls it will be a truly global voice that will rise up.”

The Revelstoke V-Day event will take

place at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre, located at Revelstoke Secondary School from 6:30-10 p.m. and will be an evening of celebration and reflection that will include, speakers, art, music, dancing, stories, and monologues.

An open-house evening is scheduled for Thursday, Jan, 17, at the Revelstoke Community Centre from 6:30-9:30 p.m.

Anyone who would like learn more or to participate in this exciting event is encouraged to attend. No previous experience or skills are required.

Community rallying behind family after hole found in baby’s heart Alex Cooper

reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com

Handing your baby over to a surgeon for open heart surgery has one of the hardest thing for parents to do. That’s what Angela Poole and Lance Schultz will be doing on Jan. 24, when their 5.5-month-old baby Hugo goes in for surgery at Vancouver Children’s Hospital.

“We feel like we couldn’t be at a better place. It’s just handing your own baby over when it’s that time that’s going to be hard,” said Angela.

“I’m mostly OK with what’s going on, but I know when the time comes and I have to go like this,” said Lance, gesturing as if he was handing Hugo over.

“There’s no warranties. Please come back.”

Hugo was born a healthy nine pounds – amongst the 90th percentile of babies. However, it didn’t take long for his parents to notice something was wrong.

First, they noticed a murmur in his heart. Then they saw other signs of underdevelopment; now he is in the bottom third of infants in terms of weight.

“He wasn’t gaining weight like he should and when you hold him you could feel his heart,” said Angela. “It just feels like a rattling can.”

They took him to see a pediatrician in Vernon but after doing their own research, they decided to go the Vancouver Children’s Hospital. There, they learned he had congestive heart failure and fluid build-up in his lungs. Essentially, it means the heart is unable to pump enough blood to the rest of his body, so it has to work twice as hard to meet the body’s needs.

“He can’t really do anything that these babies do at this age because he’s already running a marathon just hanging out,” said Angela.

Added Lance: “The biggest issue is if his heart gets really pumping then it over-pressurizes his lungs and his lungs start filling up with water.”

Hugo is scheduled for open heart surgery in Vancouver on Jan. 24. In the meantime, his parents are trying to keep things as normal as possible for him.

“Keep him rested, well fed. I was thinking, if he were five, I wouldn’t want to alarm him by making a big deal of a massive surgery,” said Angela. “We’re trying to stay strong for him, stay positive and keep things pretty normal.”

They’ve also been preparing themselves for the surgery, for handing over their new born to the surgeon. Lance said he watched a video on YouTube so he would know what is going to happen. Their older son Baron, 5, has been staying home from school to make sure he doesn’t spread any germs. The doctor conducting the surgery performs about 200 of them every year, Angela said.

“He’s going to get his little surgery and he’s a strong little guy and he’ll pull through,” she said.

Added Lance: “The only reason we call it a little surgery is because he’s little.”

They are also getting support from the community, who have started up an account at the Revelstoke Credit Union and raised more than $4,000 at a Punk Rock Bingo Fundraiser at the Big Eddy Pub last Friday.

“Revelstoke, we’ve made it our home and it’s overwhelming. The community has been unbelievable, I just had no idea,” said Lance. “I always felt Revelstoke was a really great place, but now I can feel it.”

The Punk Rock Bingo was initially supposed to be a fundraiser for the Live It! Love It! Foundation, but Izzy Lynch, the foundation’s director, offered to make it a fundraiser for Hugo after Angela and Lance approached for help on putting on a fundraiser.

They are a single-income family and the fundraising will help support them financially when Lance takes time off work and to cover the travel costs; they will need to spend at least two weeks in Vancouver before and after Hugo’s surgery and will need to make follow-up trips to clinics in Kamloops or Kelowna afterwards.

“We’re overwhelmed by the generosity of the community and the love of the community and everyone has been amazing,” said Angela. “We’re blown away by the whole thing.”

Special to the Revelstoke Times Review

Now serving the community of Revelstoke

After being postponed for four days due to a heavy Revelstoke snowfall and poor visibility, the Swatch Freeride World Tour by The North Face (FWT) went off with a bang, literally, last Friday.

The sound of explosions pierced the air early Friday morning as competitors, event organizers and spectators began to line the Montana Ridge viewing area, on the south side of Revelstoke Mountain Resort’s (RMR) boundary line. Above a sea of clouds, the RMR ski patrol were hard at work, to make sure that the Mac Daddy face on the east side of Mt. Mackenzie was safe enough for the 60 world-class competitors soon to be riding down the immense slope by way of skis or snowboards.

The competition was the first of

six stops on the newly unified FWT, and according to head event director Brian Barlow, the day was “a pretty ideal, perfect situation for this type of event”.

With the morning sun illuminating the spectacular Mac Daddy face, the buzz of helicopters and snowmobiles in the background, and last minute avalanche control complete, it was time for the world’s best big mountain skiers and snowboarders to lay down their lines.

First to tackle the venue were the male snowboarders, showing the crowd just what is possible with a snowboard, nerves of steel, and a 600metre face littered with burly cliffs and steep chutes. Despite being the boarders’ first time competing on the Mac Daddy face, they all brought some serious shredding prowess along with them; last year they were on a different venue altogether.

Defending champion Ralph Backstrom reclaimed his title with a flowy line down the looker’s right side of the venue, stomping a triple drop up top, and a solid air near the bottom. “It was super fun, it broke blue today and the conditions were prime to send it,” said the Squaw Valley, California resident.

The male skiers were up next, the largest group- comprising half of the total competitors. They laid down a variety of technical, exciting runs, not short on trickery or airtime. With so many notable lines, the judges had their work cut out for them to say the least.

In the end it was Drew Tabke taking the top spot in the men’s ski division with a confident, hard charging line, complete with three solid airs free of hesitation.

I asked him what he thought of his run. “My run was pretty much just what I imagined actually and that’s always a good sign in freeride,” he replied. “You spend a lot of time inspecting visually and imagining how it’s going to be, and eliminating surprises.”

Jeremie Heitz took second place after landing a high-speed double air and the flying Frenchman Julien Lopez took third with a technical, controlled run down the more playful, looker’s right side of the venue.

“I had a pretty cool line, I was stoked about the conditions, some very good snow inside of the venue,” he said. “[It’s] one of the venues that we like – real stuff,

real mountain. That’s why we call it Mac Daddy”.

The only local rider in the competition, Rylan Kappler, took a tumble near the top of the venue but thoroughly charged the remainder of his run.

“The snow conditions on the top were not what I expected so I guess I got a little too defensive.

But all in all had a great run – hit my line plus got some good pow turns in there,” he said.

With the men’s divisions complete, it was time for the women to make their marks on the mountain. At this point the sunlight was quickly fading from the face, and the cloud line was beginning to creep up the slope. The female snowboarders each made their turns with poise, but it was Shannon Yates clinching first place with a steady, solid run down the middle of the venue. The changing conditions were confirmed with her comments. “The top of the face was super steep,” she said. “The conditions were pretty variable – icy, sketchy. I rode it as fast and as hard as I dared.”

Last up were the female skiers, who appeared to have the most trouble on the face, having to contend with icy tracks and hard bomb holes on the now shaded, ominous looking Mac Daddy.

There were quite a few tumbles, some in extremely exposed areas but luckily no one was injured.

Christine Hargin, the defending FWT champion, led the way to the top of the podium.

“Everything is bigger than you can think, how you can imagine, when you watch it,” said the Swedish skier of her experience on the face.

Throughout the day, riders who I talked to continued to confirm the quality of the Mac Daddy face as a freeride venue.

“I really like how there’s a lot of options for different styles of skiing,” said third place female skier Natalie Segal.

Tabke described Mac Daddy as “really complex – an amazingly, uniformly steep face encompassing more terrain than a lot of other venues.”

When all was ridden and done with, the day appeared to be a success. “Overall, I’m elated and blown away at the results and the lines that went down,” said Barlow. “It’s just such a great outcome to come out of this event with everyone smiling and healthy.”

With both disciplines of the sport now united in hopes of progressing the sport that much further, the future is looking bright for freeriding and Revelstoke is certainly playing a part in it. From its roots as a world-renowned ski jumping location, to today, a hot spot in the much younger sport of freeriding, Revelstoke continues to evolve as a premier player in the snow-sports realm. Is a new era of sporting stardom underway for our mountain town? From the sights and sounds of Friday, it appears so.

Alpine racers post top ten results at Norquay and Sun Peaks races Mary Clayton

Revelstoke Ski Club

It was a clear and cold weekend at Sun Peaks Resort for the Revelstoke Ski Club’s younger competitors, racing giant slalom at a Teck-sponsored event. The older FIS racers were at Mt Norquay for a Van Houtte Cup, racing giant slalom and slalom.

“The conditions were very good for ski racing, and the competition was well run,” said head coach Ned Lasarevic. “Our U16s did really well. Mitch Smith, Max Scharf and Callum Hicks were in the top 10 in all three races, with Mitch on the podium for the weekend’s final race on Sunday.

We also had a few top 10 results with our U12 racers, who learned

a lot about competing in these bigger races.”

In Norquay, the conditions weren’t quite as favourable. "It was a hard race under difficult conditions,” said FIS coach Milan Arsovski. “The first day we had 30 centimetres of new snow and the next three days it was -25, making it hard to maintain concentration and focus in the cold. The team didn’t score the results they wanted, but improvement was made. The girls did their best, and we will keep up the hard work and motivation for the races to come."

Top-10 results at Sun Peaks: Saturday, Race 1 U16 boys Mitch Smith 4th Callum Hicks 6th Max Scharf 7th

U12 girls Jenna Knight 9th Saturday, Race 2 U16 boys Mitch Smith 4th Max Scharf 5th Callum Hicks 6th Sunday U16 boys Mitch Smith 3rd Max Scharf 5th Callum Hicks 6th U12 girls Jenna Knight 7th U12 boys Colm Molder 9th Aleks Klassen 10th Norquay Van Houtte Cup FIS Race: Emily Unterberger 12th and 9th in two GS races Jamie Park 10th in Slalom

Introduction Service

ON THE WEB:

Brian Hideaki Hashimoto May 29, 1963 - Dec. 14, 2012

Left to mourn his loss and cherish his loving memory are his parents Kunio and Reiko of Revelstoke, B.C., his brother Raymond (Ana) of Hinton, Alberta, nieces Laura and Hannah, nephew Christopher, a host of relatives, colleagues, students, and dear friends.

Brian was born and raised in Revelstoke, B.C. and then went on to graduate from the University of British Columbia with a teaching degree. He received a position at Mount Elizabeth Secondary School in Kitimat, B.C. in 1988 where he ardently and creatively taught mathematics until the time of his passing. His favourite pastimes included playing hockey (goalie), softball, poker, and cheering on the Toronto Maple Leafs.

A Memorial service was held on December 19, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. at the Christ the King Parish in Kitimat, B.C. with Fr. Kenneth Umaowa as Celebrant.

The family is very grateful for the compassion and kind support of Brian’s friends and neighbours, the staff and students of Mount Elizabeth Secondary School, the nurses and staff of the Palliative Care Unit of Kitimat General Hospital, and Christ the King Parish. And a special thank you to the Horianopoulos family for opening their hearts and homes to Brian and his family.

In lieu of other tributes, donations may be made to the Kitimat General Hospital – Palliative Care Unit in Brian’s memory or to the Brian Hashimoto Memorial Scholarship Fund at Envision Financial – Kitimat Branch.

Marlene V. McQuarrie Mrs. Marlene McQuarrie died suddenly at her residence in Revelstoke on Friday, January 4th, 2013 at the age of 80 years. There will be a Celebration of Life service in the early spring of 2013. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association, 350 – 1385 8th Avenue West, Vancouver, B.C. V6H 3V9, in memory of Marlene.

Marlene was born in Armstrong, B.C. on July 25, 1932, raised in Penticton and had lived in Revelstoke for 60 years. She married Murray in 1951 and her first son Gregor arrived in 1952 in Trail, B.C. They moved to Revelstoke in 1953 and their second son Brian was born in 1957.

Marlene lived her life with a strong sense of responsibility to enhance her community. Always an organizer and doer, she spent her life making things happen. She was a founding member of Penticton Teen Town, and throughout her 60 years here, she worked in numerous customer service positions and volunteered continuously. Examples of her service and ambassadorship include the CNIB, Revelstoke Ski Club, Co-ordinator and Chaperone for Miss Revelstoke Pageant, Founder of the Miss Interior of B.C. Pageant, Anglican Church Lay Reader, Executive member of Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Emergency Response Team Member, Branch Service Officer and Chaplain for the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 46. Marlene was recognized numerous times for her efforts. The ultimate recognition came this past November when she was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for her service. Marlene still had time to raise the boys, ski, snowmobile, play bridge and celebrate her faith. She loved music, literature, dancing, singing and parades – not watching them – but being in them. The friendships made along the way became her support system in the last nine years. The family is forever grateful for the numerous friends and supporters that allowed Marlene to live her life on her own terms in her own home. You are forever angels in our hearts.

Marlene was predeceased by her parents Olive and Cyril Tooley and her husband Murray. She is survived by her sons Greg (Cathy) and Brian (Janet); grandchildren: Ryann (Matt), Andrea (Rob) and Jen; great grandchildren: Ashton, Valley, Sloane, Hanna and Samantha; her brother Jim (Carol) and families.

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

Cremation arrangements are in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke. “Lord, let me be a dreamer, and let me be a doer, let me strive and steadily achieve.

Let me be a learner, and let me be a teacher, let me give and graciously receive.

Let me be Your follower, let me be Your friend, let me hear Your voice and heed Your call.

Let me come to know the special plans You have for me, and let me, with Your help, fulfill them all.�

Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Bi-polar Grizzlies split home games Alex Cooper

It was a visibly disappointed Kevin Kraus who emerged from the Revelstoke Grizzlies dressing room on Saturday following a 6-4 loss to the North Okanagan Knights. He came out after 10 minutes with the door closed.

"We've got to stop being so damn inconsistent. It's from practice to practice, from period to period, from game to game, we can be a totally different hockey team," the team's coach said. "We can be a great hockey team or we can be a terrible hockey team.

They have to decide which one they want to be and they have to be that way in practice and in games."

It was an all-too typical weekend for the Grizzlies. On Friday, they produced a stellar effort, scoring six times in the second period in a 7-4 win over the division leading Sicamous Eagles.

Then, on Saturday, they flopped against the Knights, giving up four goals in just over five minutes in the 6-4 loss.

"We didn't make it hard on them. We tied it up in the second period and we took a selfish penalty. I think that was the turning point of the game," said Kraus.

"It weighs on them because we were on such a momentum run

there and that just drains it and they score on the power play and we're back to chasing the puck around and pulling it out of our own net."

On Friday, the Grizzlies started slow, falling behind 3-0 in the first period. However, a goal by Austin Donaldson sparked the team, and they came to close to scoring twice more before the period was out.

The second period was all Revelstoke, with goals coming in rapid succession from Donaldson, Tyler Reay, Brayden Beckley, Riley Creighton, Reay again and, finally, Donaldson once more to complete the hat trick.

"We had a talk in between periods and we came out and everyone decided to go," said Kraus.

"We didn't stop skating, we went to the net hard and we put pucks on net and they went in."

Sicamous got one goal back in the third period for a 7-4 final score.

On Saturday, Revelstoke once again found themselves behind early, with the Knights scoring twice in the first half of the opening period. A goal by captain Darnel St. Pierre got Revelstoke within one and Donaldson tied the game with a power play goal three minutes into the second.

However, with Kent Hendrickson sitting in the penalty box for

slashing, Brett Hawrys scored to make it 3-2 Knights. North Okanagan got three more goals before the period was over to give the Knights a 6-4 lead. TJ Christensen scored early in the third for the Grizzlies and Jordan Furlane got a power play goal with five second left to make the score close.

"A lot of guys, I could have charged 10 bucks tonight for admission," said Kraus. "They just watched the hockey game from the bench and most of them watched it from the ice."

This coming weekend the Grizzlies host the Kamloops Storm and Summerland Steam on Friday and Saturday respectively, and then travel to Sicamous to play the Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Kraus said he hopes the team can put together a winning streak and make a run for the top of the division and home ice advantage in the playoffs. The Grizzlies currently sit 10 points back of the Eagles for second and 13 points behind the Knights for first.

"We need 20 guys to show up every day," Kraus said. "We're not the most skilled team but one thing you can dictate is work ethic. Work ethic outweighs skill most nights and I'd like to see more heart and desire out of some of my guys."
