Richardson leaves social sector legacy upon retirement Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Nelli Richardson, who spearheaded the creation of the social development coordinator position in Revelstoke, was celebrated for her work with the social sector at a retirement party at the visual arts centre last Wednesday. “This is to honour Nelli in a casual way,” said Jill Zacharias, the person who was hired for the role Richardson fought hard to create. “There’s a lot of people here who have been here since the beginning and worked hard and went to the meetings to make it all happen.” Richardson is retiring as the director the Revelstoke Women’s Shelter and stepped down from her position as chair of the city’s social develop-

ment committee on Wednesday. She said she plans on taking a year off from all work before deciding what to do next. She has spent her life working in the social sector and served nine years on the school board and nine years on city council. It was on the latter where she oversaw the social portfolio and pushed to have the coordinator position created and funded by the city. “In my crazy wisdom, or lack of wisdom, I would go to all the social meetings and see if I could pull it all together,” she said. “It seemed that time and time again, nothing would get done on social. We all worked very hard, but it seemed like we were going nowhere. “Social issues were high priorities with no one working on them.”

It took three years for the position to actually make it into the final budget. Zacharias was hired for the role in September 2008. Richardson has defended the social development coordinator to council on several occasions since then, most recently ensuring full funding for the position stay in the budget for the next five years, after an initial draft proposed fazing out funding over a period of several years. “I understood that some people didn’t understand what the social coordinator would do in the long term,” she said. “Everyone who works in the social sector knows it will never all get done. It’s an ongoing process.”

The Revelstoke Grizzlies are close to being sold to a new ownership group. “It’s close. We’re in the final negotiations,” said owner Lew Hendrickson. “The large hurdle is the league approving it and the other large hurdle is getting an offer to purchase and that agreed on and signed.” A sale has been in the works for months to a group of hockey people based out of the Okanagan. The team will stay in Revelstoke. The prospective owner declined to speak to the Times Review, saying he was advised by his lawyer not to talk until the sale was finalized. Hendrickson said he hopes the deal is completed before the KIJHL Board of Governors holds its meeting on June 21. “The other party has met with the league. We’ve done most everything that we need to do,” he said. “If we come to an agreement before then, it will be voted on at the league meeting at the 21st of June.” Hendrickson became a part-owner of the Grizzlies in the summer of 2009 when he joined up with Joe Kozek, Michael Roberts and Troy Mick to purchase the team. Mick left the team after a year and sold his shares to Roberts. In April 2012, Roberts attempted to sell the team to 100 Mile House, but the sale was blocked by the Revelstoke Grizzlies Society, who exercised a clause in a previous sale contract that allowed them to purchase the team for $1 if an attempt was made to sell the team before 2016. The result was that Hendrickson bought out Roberts, and assumed the team’s debts, which were reported to be about $60,000, including $23,000 to the City of Revelstoke for unpaid ice time fees. In two seasons under Hendrickson the team’s record plummeted, culminating in a last-place overall finish in the 2013-14 season. The team went through a rotating cast of coaches last summer, with three of them leaving before the season even started. Darren Naylor assumed the bench duties just before training camp, but he resigned midway through the season. Despite the team’s woes, which included a stretch of 27 losses in 28 games and a 9-39-0-4 record overall, fan support remained strong throughout the season.

to look at the club’s operations and make recommendations on how to improve it. What he came back with involved revamping almost all aspects of the club’s operations — controlling costs, increasing capital expenditures, restructuring and stabilizing operations, hiring a book keeper and someone to manage the golf shop, and initiating more events to bring people out to the club. Most of them have been implemented, said Duchman. The club directors also worked on a five-year strategic plan and a financial committee was formed to review all financial aspects of the operations. “We wanted to have a clear and transparent financial plan,” she said. “We wanted to improve communication with council, community partners and stakeholders.” The club has tried to get more people involved in the sport. They started a program for grade seven students, who come out for lessons on Thursdays. They also launched a new Friday evening program called Grip It and Sip It, where for $20 (or $30 a couple) you get three holes, a bucket of balls, two beers and some appetizers. They plan on upgrading or replacing the maintenance facilities, and expanding the retail space and food and beverage area. Recently, volunteers worked to remove danger trees from the golf course and do lots of cosmetic repairs to the facilities like scrubbing down the walls, painting, and replacing the toilet seats in the women’s washroom, said Duchman. As for the club house: “There’s a little bit of rotting siding out there, but it’s not all doom and gloom,” she said. The major structural issues were addressed last year, paid for from tourism dollars. The future of the club house would have to be made by city council and staff, said Duchman. She wouldn’t offer any opinion if she preferred to see the building repaired or replaced. “Certainly, I would think their move would be to have a real good look at that building,” she said. *** The problems with the club house have been known for more than a year.

Council votes against pay raise Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke city council voted against a recommended pay increase, pushing the decision to after the November election. Council discussed a recommended increase in remuneration that would see the mayor's salary increase to $33,000 from $28,000 and a councillor's salary go up by $1,000 to $15,000. A report by Tim Palmer, the City of Revelstoke's Chief Administrative Officer, said the increases would bring mayor and council’s salaries in line with that of similar communities. At its meeting last Tuesday, May 27, the mayor and councillors gave a variety of reasons for not voting for the raise, even though there was a general feeling the job is a lot of work and they are underpaid. Councillor Gary Starling said that a raise would send the wrong message, given council's budget challenges in recent years. "I don't think there's anybody that sits on council that's here for the money and I'm not so sure that more money is going to make it

more attractive for better personnel. I think if you're here for the money, you're here for the wrong reasons," he said. "Having said that, I think the decision should be left for the new council. That might be a bit of a cop out but that's the way I feel." Coun. Steve Bender agreed with Starling, saying he wasn't opposed to a raise, but the decision should be left to the next council. "You can make the argument that more money is going to attract better people," he said. "You can also make the argument that if that's what you're doing it for, you're doing it for the wrong reasons." Chris Johnston was the only councillor to vote in favour of the raise, saying it wasn't fair to leave that decision it to a new council. "Do it now and they have it out of their hair and whoever new council is can deal with other things and not worry about the elephant in the room, which is 'How much are we going to pay ourselves?'" he said. "I think we're doing a favour to the next council by dealing with it now and not saddling them with trying to vote them-

selves a raise." Mayor David Raven voted against the recommendation, not because he didn't support a raise — he said that mayor and council were underpaid — but because doing so now, while the city is negotiating new contracts with employee unions would be poor optics. "I think it sends the wrong message if we pass this now," he said. "I can argue that it's well worth it, because it's below minimum wage even with the increase. You don't do this job for the money and you don't do it for the glory and you don't do it for the fight. Going forward, I'm not sure this is the right time to do it. Maybe in five or six months the climate might be better, but in today's market, I have trouble doing it, particularly the mayor's raise." Couns. Linda Nixon and Phil Welock also voted against the motion. Coun. Tony Scarcella was not at the meeting. In the end the recommendation was defeated. A decision on a raise will now most likely be made during the 2015 budget process, following November's election.

efficient, the golf course has not come up in that discussion,” he said. He said the golf course should be thought of along the same lines as the Nordic ski trails or snowmobile trails, where funding has been sought and received to upgrade facilities. The workload to obtain funding should be in the club’s hands. “We point to the golf club and the golf club points to the city and who actually has the responsibil-

ity,” he said. “It is a city owned facility and the city will have to step into it. The golf club has the privilege of using it. That’s where the difficulty comes into it.” The club house will remain a challenge for the foreseeable future. “We asked staff to come back and say what options do we have,” he said. “What happens if we spend a whole bunch of money on it? What does it get us at the end of the day?”

Fisheries try to solve pike problem Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

REGISTRATION Tuesday June 17th & Thursday June 19th 6:00 - 8:00 pm in the Minor Hockey Room (Back of the Arena)

www.revelstoketimesreview.com

Fish biologists took a major bite out of the pike population on the Columbia River this month. Biologists from the Ministry of Environment (MoE) and Mountain Water Research (MWR) netted close to 100 adult pike in Robson Reach over five days in a recent effort to suppress the spread of the invasive species on the Columbia River. “Pike are non-native potentially invasive species that we’ve been concerned about for a while,” said Senior Fish biologist Jeff Burrows. “So the purpose was to check out the feasibility of suppression netting to reduce pike numbers. We don’t expect we’re going to be able to eradicate pike, there is probably a chronic supply of them coming from upstream.” The source of the alien species

is believed to have emerged from the United States and Lake Pend d’Oreille system about five years ago. Since then, the Kalispell Tribe in Spokane and Washington State Fish and Wildlife have been very successful in reducing pike numbers in the Box Canyon Resevoir of the Pend d’Oreille River using nets, so Kootenay fisheries biologists and Jeremy Baxter from MWR utilized the same process in catching Columbia River pike. The nets are designed with different mesh sizes to trap pike at various stages of their lifecyle, yet, in the Columbia, mysteriously, no juvenile pike were caught. “All we did catch was adults,” said Burrows. “So who knows what’s going on there.” Although most of the pikes’ stomachs were empty, one mammoth pike that measured 90 cen-

timetres and weighed about 19 pounds had a 40-cm. rainbow trout in its stomach. But what is perhaps more alarming is that the netted pike were also spawning. “That’s an issue, that there could have been successful spawning, but we’re not sure in past years. Probably they’ve tried to spawn in the Robson Reach that’s downstream of Celgar . . . but it’s not clear that smaller pike or the bigger ones are from colonizers or from entrained fish upstream. But sure it’s a concern.” Despite catching spent and ripe spawners dripping with milt, Burrows believes the population may be smaller than at first anticipated, as the team also netted five of the tagged pike from MoE’s recent Pike Reward program. “It’s not a very robust estimator, because populations can move around, but there might be maybe 500 adults in that lower half of the Robson Reach, so we caught a good proportion of them.” The numbers taken in the nets also decreased over the weeks, suggesting a definite depletion in stock. The catch rates nearly halved with every netting, said Burrrows, an excellent indicator that the team of biologists and technicians were killing a good portion of the population. And yet another major concern for fisheries is the potential spread of the alien species into the Arrow Lakes. “I think the jury’s out as to whether its a big problem. If that’s all it is in that reach, we can suppress them, and if we get on top of them we can really minimize it, however, if they get into the (Keenleyside Dam) lock and colonize the Arrow that would be a big problem.” While netting has proven to be a useful and successful tool in suppressing pike populations, local fisheries will need funding to continue the process. With Ministry resources unavailable, Burrows hopes to access funds from various environmental groups to continue the pike-suppression efforts, but, for the time being, will rely on local anglers to help keep the population in check. There is an unlimited retention quota for pike on the Columbia and anglers are encouraged to kill all pike caught. More importantly, Burrows encourages anglers to report catches of pike outside the Robson Reach, Seven Mile, and Waneta Reservoirs, indicating time, location, date, length, and a photo if possible to confirm species. Call the Fish and Wildlife office at 354-6333.

Insults fly as farmland bill passes Renewed search for Joshua Jeffs comes up empty TOM FLETCHER Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. legislature adjourned for the summer Thursday with opposition MLAs battling to the end against legislation to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones. The government used its majority to cut off debate and pass the bill, despite days of demands to withdraw it and complete promised consultation with farmers around the province. "You're all a bunch of corrupt liars," shouted NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons, before storming out of the chamber as the opposition's time ran out. Simons returned to withdraw his comments so he could vote against the legislation. Independent MLAs Andrew Weaver and Vikki Huntington joined NDP critics in denouncing the move to ease restrictions on secondary farmland uses in the North, Kootenay and Cariboo zones. Another target of criticism was the move to formalize the six local Agricultural Land Commission panels to make decisions on exclusions and permitted uses. Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald accused the government of adding social and economic considerations to farmland as a pretext to undermine the commission's independence. "We are talking about important agricultural areas that will now be open to exclusions, that decision being made by a bunch of B.C. Liberal political hacks on criteria that are totally nebulous – to the extent that there's even a provision to add whatever else the cabinet wants

to add," Macdonald said. "It could be economic. It could be social. It could be anything." Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick pointed to amendments made to the bill in response to criticism that emphasize that the ALC is independent and its top priority remains to preserve productive farmland. Letnick used the example of a Peace River region farmer who was prevented from parking gas industry trucks on his land during winter to earn extra money. "We as a government believe that there's an opportunity in some parts of the province where there is less pressure on agricultural land to give farmers some freedom in making sure they can be successful on that land," Letnick said. NDP leader John Horgan said a leaked 2012 email exchange between Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett and Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm suggests a "vendetta" against the ALC and a desire to weaken it for political gain. Pimm, who was replaced as agriculture minister as he undergoes cancer surgery, issued an apology this week for his comments in the email. Premier Christy Clark said the changes do not affect the Okanagan, Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island zones, which generate 85% of B.C.'s farm income. "We are making it economic in areas with a shorter growing season, with less productive farmland, to be able to continue to make land valuable enough that they will pass it down to another family," Clark said.

Revelstoke RCMP and Search and Rescue came up empty during a new search for Joshua Jeffs Saturday morning. “The two areas, near Echo Lake and the end of the road at 12 Mile, were extensively searched utilizing trained ground search crews as well as two dog teams,” said Staff-Sgt.

Kurt Grabinsky of the Revelstoke RCMP in an e-mail. “The search was concluded later in the day with no success in finding anything related to Jeffs.” Jeffs, 23, went missing early on December 19, after he fled from police in a vehicle that was reported stolen. The Manitoba-native fled south down Airport Way, to the end of the road past 12 Mile, and fled into the woods.

He has not been seen since. Jeffs’ mother was present for Saturday’s search. Grabinsky said there was no plans for future searches in the area. “We have conducted four searches in total at this point, and have never recovered anything to assist or lead us to conduct a further search,” he said. “If new information is obtained we will return to the search area.”

BC Liberal calls out MLA for forestry criticism Editor, It has been said that “truth has no fear and that untruth shivers at every shadow.” Based upon Norm Macdonald’s recent comments on privatizing B.C. forests, there is no question that he lurks in the shadows and is freezing cold if he expects us to believe his nonsense. Simply, the BC Liberal government is not interested in privatizing B.C.’s public forests. All one has to do is a little research and they will find that government remains committed to managing our forests sustainably now and into the future. Macdonald as forestry critic knows that B.C. is recognized as a world leader of sustainable forest management. Over 52 million hectares are certified to one of three internationally recognized sustainable forest management certification standards. He knows that B.C. is also unique in having an independent Forest Practices

Board specifically set up to monitor and audit forest practices and investigate complaints and he knows that the Forest Practices Board also recommends areas for improvement, which government and forest licensees act on. He knows that B.C. forests are not being over cut and that the Chief Forester independently sets maximum harvest limits for 72 distinct areas following a comprehensive timber supply review that considers social, economic and environmental values. He knows that B.C. currently has more than 180 active forestry agreements with First Nations and that since 2003, B.C. has provided around $291 million and access to 61.9 million cubic meters of timber to First Nations. He knows that as a result of your government’s efforts in Asia, specifically China, exports of B.C. lumber to China have

increased more than 12 fold from 2003 to present and he knows that this increase has resulted in jobs for British Columbians. He knows that your government is looking at the option of converting some of volume-based forest licences to new or expanded area-based tree farm licences and he knows that area-based tenures do not convey additional property rights to the tenure holder. He knows that all crown land will remain crown land. So now Macdonald knows that we know that his continuous reporting of untruth will never go unnoticed. So shiver away in the shadows Norm as the rest of us move fearlessly into the bright and truthful future we as British Columbians deserve. Doug Clovechok BC Liberal candidate for Columbia River-Revelstoke Fairmont Hot Springs

RCMP road stop yields marijuana haul Times Review staff

A road stop by the RCMP yielded a large marijuana haul last Wednesday. The discovery happened when officers with the Integrated Road Safety Unit and Trans Canada East Traffic Services stopped a Chevrolet Cruze heading eastbound on the Trans-Canada Highway near Greely Road, about 10 kilometres east of Revelstoke on May 28. Police detected a strong odour of marijuana coming from the vehicle and began a search. They found about 20 kilograms of marijuana packed in large bags in the trunk of the car. The man produced a licence to possess medical marijuana, but he was found to

N EWS have 25 times the licensed amount allowed by Health Canada. The 23-year-old man was arrested and charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking. He is scheduled to appear in Revelstoke court in September.

STOLEN VEHICLE RECOVERED

A report of a man driving erratically in central Revelstoke last week resulted in the recovery of a stolen vehicle and the arrest of one man. The incident happened in the early morning hours of Wednesday, May 21, on

the 1100 block of Vernon Avenue, when RCMP received a call of a vehicle being driven erratically. RCMP found the vehicle nearby and learned it had been reported stolen out of Calgary the previous day. The driver, Brandon Lee Michaud of Calgary, was arrested and charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000, driving without a licence, driving without due care and attention, and for being in a motor vehicle when he was not permitted. He appeared in Salmon Arm Court and was being held in Kamloops jail awaiting release on bail. Two youths, aged 14 and 15, were released without charges to their parents in Alberta.

Meet Lucas: Our Inbound Rotary Exchange Student

Rotary Member for: 15 years

By Chris Bostock

What’s been the highlight of your Rotary experience? 250-837-6291 Acting as Past President of the Club, the camaraderie and new friendships made, Youth Exchange, and seeing the benefits of Rotary locally and internationally.

Revelstoke Rotary Club is active in the Youth Exchange program, both sending outbound students abroad, while hosting inbound students here in Revelstoke. This is one of the cornerstones of Rotary's work – Rotary International has been sending young adults abroad since 1929. We also host inbound Rotary students here in Revelstoke. These are amazing young adults that are really interesting to talk with, and for this month's article, we're speaking with Lucas Parreiras, whom our club has hosted in Revelstoke since August. Since his arrival, he's stayed with four different host families.

Rotary Member Member Name:

Can you tell us a little about yourself? “I'm seventeen, and in grade twelve in Brazil. I live with my mom and stepdad in a town called Sete Lagoas. My Mom is a history teacher at a public high school. My Dad's now retired, but he used to work in a bank. He's a Rotarian.”

Dr. W Scott Lebuke Occupation: Family Dentist Rotary Member for: 18 years What’s been the highlight of your Rotary experience? Youth Exchange, and helping start the Revelstoke adaptive ski program.

which start on June 12, set on PVR.

As for Lucas' biggest surprise in Canada? “There are no walls around the houses – in Brazil everything is gated, and half the houses have barbed wire. “I don't know a single house in Brazil where you don't have to ring a bell at a gate to get into the front yard.”

What part of Brazil are you from? “I was born in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. It's in the state of Minas Gerais,” Pulling out a map, Lucas points to the southeast of Brazil. “There are four million people there, so it's a big city. Now we live in Sete Lagoas. It's a small town for Brazil – but not small compared to Revelstoke,” he says with a grin. “There are about 250,000 people. We moved there when I was six months old.” The main industry in the state is mining, Lucas tells me, and the main industry in his hometown of Sete Lagoas is steelmaking. Lucas loves the recent shift to warm weather. “When I arrived here on August 20, it was the end of summer in Revelstoke, and it was winter in Brazil. So I've pretty much had a year of winter.” I feel sorry for him, until he tells me how long and hard “winter” can be in Sete Lagoas. “It drops down to about 14 degrees Celsius,” Lucas says. Brrrrrrrrr....

Aside from school, what do you like doing in your spare time? Big surprise. “I love soccer – it's my favorite sport ever. I love playing and watching. I also like karate; I did that for two years.” He also enjoys swimming; he's been competing for four years now, and in November, travelled to Richmond to compete with Revelstoke swimmers in the Provincials.

Member – Canadian Investor Protection Fund

What have you done since you got here in August? “I've gone camping and fishing on Lake Revelstoke, been to Silver Star for an exchange student meeting for tubing and skiing, and been on a bus tour with fellow Rotary Exchange students.” The trip, he tells me, took eleven days, and went from Revelstoke, all the way to Yakima, WA, and then all the way back up to Kamloops. He's even got the opportunity to go flying – “it was so cool,” he says. This is the first time Lucas has gone out to get a Christmas tree. “In Brazil, there aren't many blue spruce in the forests, usually we just have a fake Christmas tree.” Since he arrived, he's been to Calgary, Edmonton, Athabasca, Vernon, Red Deer, Kelowna, Penticton, Vancouver, Lake Louise and Banff. He loved West Edmonton Mall, but because Vancouver was “such a nice place,” it's probably his favorite.

Can you tell us a bit about Brazilian culture? If you haven't guessed already, Brazil is crazy about soccer. “My region of Brazil, the Southeast, has 10 out of 12 of the top soccer teams in Brazil.” In fact, he says, Belo Horizonte's soccer team made the FIFA Club World Cup in Morocco in 2013. This is a separate championship from the World Cup, but 25,000 Brazilians travelled halfway across the world to cheer them on. “Unfortunately,” - Lucas hangs his head - “they lost.” Lucas already has the FIFA World Cup games,

How are you finding your studies here in Canada? What's different here? “I'm in Grade 12 in Brazil, and I was halfway through my high school year there when I came to Revelstoke,” Lucas explains. Brazil's school year begins in February, he says, “so I'll be in school for an extra four months, but I'm hoping I will be able to graduate with my Canadian courses.” This is great, since some Rotary students end up delaying their graduation, or being in school for an extra year due to their Rotary experience. And the courses Lucas is taking? “I'm in Precalculus, Physics, Biology, and Math 12.”

How does school here compare to what you're used to? “It's really different. I'm used to having 13 courses throughout the school year,” he explains, “and you don't get to choose - you have to pass them all.” So, taking four courses per semester here is a welcome change, although Lucas acknowledges it's an extra challenge learning in English. Anything else you'd like to do while you're still in Canada? “We hosted a grade 12 student from Kamloops last year – so I'm hoping to get over there to visit him sometime while I'm here,” he says. Lucas' parents are currently hosting a student from Washington State. Lucas is in Revelstoke until mid-July, when he heads back to Brazil. If you see him, say hello!

Do you know of a youth that would be interested in the Youth Exchange Program? Rotary accepts applications from secondary school students that have demonstrated leadership and community involvement. Students do not necessarily need a previous affiliation with Rotary, and applications are accepted from children of nonRotarians.

Aquaducks Division 2 relay, with Megan Hoshizaki, Kaylln Gale, Kale Jay and Tye Hoshizaki Photo Contributed

Aquaducks start competitive season Eliza McGuire Aquaducks Head Coach

The Revelstoke Aquaducks summer swim club started its competitive season this past weekend by attending two meets. While half the team stayed within the region at the meet hosted by the Penticton Pikes, the other half went to the Kootenays where the Nelson Neptunes were hosting after a year hiatus due to a pool closure. The Penticton meet saw many swimmers take off time and improve on personal bests, and as a result quite a few swimmers won aggregates. In Division 1, Kayln Gale won gold for the girls, and Ryder Litke, despite having to miss events at the end of the meet, won bronze for the boys.

In Division 3, all three swimmers from Revelstoke hit the overall podium to bring home aggregates. Jaclyn Elliott, the lone female in Division 3, won bronze and Alex Jay won gold for the boys. Caine McCabe took off time in every event to slingshot himself up the standings to his first ever aggregate when he won bronze. In Division 4, Beth Granstrom and Jackson Litke picked up bronzes. Liam McCabe swam his way to a bronze aggregate to round out the meet. Despite modest numbers, overall the Ducks finished fourth, with the girl’s team placing third, and the boys fourth. In Nelson, the Ducks were making their presence known with loud cheers and big swims

despite their small numbers. Hitting the podium to win aggregates were coaches James Pilla and Emily Pfeiffer, and swimmers James LeBuke and Murdoch Tegart. Murdoch had to take off huge amounts of time to get on to the podium after a disqualification in the 50 meter butterfly, but his determination and hard work paid off. Getting to enjoy a rare respite this next weekend, the Aquaducks will be back in action when the Merritt Otters host June 14-15. After a weekend of spectacular swimming in both Nelson and Penticton, many club records are holding on by a thread, including a few three decades old that are in danger of being taken down at the meet in Merritt.

RONALD'S RAVE REVIEW

take your kid mountain biking day

Saturday June 7th..

1880 Trans-Canada Hwy. 250-837-6230

Check out our bicycle obstacle course, cycle the gentle two kilometre Soren Sorensen Trail or the more challenging five kilometre trail, get your bike tuned up and win prizes. End the day by coasting down the Mount Revelstoke Trail right into town. At the Nels Nelsen Historic Area in Mount Revelstoke National Park from 12–4 p.m. Hosted by Parks Canada

It was an all-teenage top of the podium with 16-year-old Seth Van Verseveld of Salmon Arm, and 17-year-old Emily Unterberger (pictured) of Revelstoke winning the first cross-country toonie race of the summer last week. Van Varseveld beat out Rich Hamilton and Kellen Viznaugh for top spot in the men’s race, while Unterberger topped Kelsey Furk and Meghan Tabor in the women’s race. The race saw 31 competitors ride one or two laps of a course that consisted of Toad School, Buff Enuff, Berm Donor, Dusty Beaver and a steep climb up the power lines. The next toonie race is at Mt. Macpherson on Wednesday, June 11, at 6:30 p.m. Visit www.bikerevelstoke.org for details. Alex Cooper photography

Attention service groups, community and non-profit organizations, Kevin & Cathy Blakely of the Revelstoke McDonald's are pleased to sponsor this spot to present your message. Please call Mavis Cann at the Times Review with your information at 250-837-4667.

Obituaries Marianna Dicaire

Marianna Dicaire passed into heaven on Sunday, May 25th, 2014 at Queen Victoria Hospital, Revelstoke. Prayers were recited from St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church on Thursday evening, May 29th, followed by the Mass of Christian Burial on Friday morning, May 30th with Father Aaron de Dios celebrant. Pallbearers were Joey Dicaire, Ben Jacques, Giordy McKinney, Bryan Pratico, Spencer Dicaire and Gabe Pratico. Interment followed in the family plot of Mountain View Cemetery, Revelstoke. Marianne was born in Palizzi Marina, Italy and moved to Revelstoke at the age of five years. She enjoyed her family, home and her friends. Taking care of her family was her number one priority in her life. Marianne’s grandchildren meant the world to her. Anyone who drove by her home would see the pride she took in her garden and the spectacular display of colour in her flowers.

At her retirement party, a few people stood up to sing her praises. Mayor David Raven said Revelstoke is seen as a leader and innovator on social issues, and that is thanks to Richardson. “It makes us who we are as a community and shows the caring side of what we’re doing,” he said. “It’s not all about dollars and taxes, roads and sewers. It’s who we are as people and for that we really have to thank Nelli in many ways.” Bill Macfarlane, who served with Richardson on council for many years, said her work on council extended beyond the social sector. “Nelli also clearly understood that was all part of making a healthy community — to make sure we had a strong economy, that we had fair taxation, that we had good recreation facilities, good safety facilities,” he said. “She was just as tenacious in those areas to make sure good decisions were made. “She deserves to be recognized for all that she has done.” Zacharias credited Richardson for her mentorship, leadership and advocacy for the social sector. “You have made a lasting difference,” she said.

Ainslee Arthurs competes in the trampoline at the Canadian Gymnastics Championships in Ottawa last week.

Alex Cooper

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Ainslee Arthurs is returning home to Revelstoke after being the first local acrobat in more than a decade to compete at the Canadian Gymnastics Championships in Ottawa last week. Arthurs, a grade 12 student at Revelstoke Secondary School, finished 22nd out of 47 athletes in her category in the trampoline event. “My goal was just getting here so I’m really happy with it,” she said after her competition. With her parents watching, Arthurs scored 34.95 for her first routine and 42.325 for her second routine for a total score of 76.915. “Her first routine was a bit off but her second optional routine was great,” wrote coach Jef Kline in an e-mail. “For this meet she added a lot of difficulty (harder moves) and scored really well.” Arthurs is the first member of the Revelstoke Acrobats to qualify for nationals in more than a decade. “It was really nerve-wracking at first,” she said. “I was the first acrobat from Revelstoke that’s been in over 10 years so I didn’t have anyone to look up to. My coach and team were all really supportive so it was easy and a lot of fun.” She said her parents presence in Ottawa helped. “They just wanted me to have fun and do my best. It made it a lot easier and a better experience.”

Arthurs success comes a few years after breaking her ankle — an injury that caused some to wonder if she would ever compete again. She missed two seasons of competition before returning to the trampoline in February 2013. “Coming back was hard physically but mostly mental as well. I was scared,” she said. “It took a lot of hard work. Once I started going, I kept having goals and little things to push forward to.” She said the first competition back was the hardest because she felt she had to prove herself again. “Once I did that it was easier and it kept the determination going,” she said. “It took a lot of hard work but it was well worth it.” She said she trained 2.5 hours per day, three days a week, to get ready for nationals. Kline said he was proud of the way she worked hard after her injury and that she was a pleasure to coach. “Her positive attitude and commitment to excelling and progressing has made her a great role model for the other kids in the club,” he wrote. For Arthurs, the nationals might have been her last gymnastics meet ever. Next year she is attending the University of Victoria, which doesn’t have a trampoline team. “This might be my last meet ever which makes it really hard and I’m sad about it,” she said. “I don’t know if I’m ready to give it up. I’ll have to see what happens.”
