Council tackles the capital plan ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The saga of the city hall renovations continues. Revelstoke council spent a good thirty minutes discussing the $1.735 million project at special budget meeting on Tuesday, Mar. 3. The meeting lasted for three hours, and a good number of spending items were discussed, but it was the ongoing renovations — presented on page one of the capital plan — that received the most debate. The plan lays out the budget for the city hall renovations over the next four years: — In 2015: $60,000 to finish the exterior work and $340,000 for the interior renovations. — In 2016: $540,000 for the exterior stucco replacement. — In 2017: $260,000 for the elevator, $225,000 to move council chambers into city hall, and $85,000 for council furnishings. — In 2018: $225,000 to renovate the finance department. After a brief introduction to the plan by finance director Graham Inglis, council delved into the proposed spending. “What sort of planning process have we gone through so far in the city hall renovations?” asked councillor Aaron Orlando, specifically referring to the elevator and moving council chambers. Inglis responded: “It was part of an overall plan to improve customer service in city hall and bring council chambers back into that environment so we can relieve ourselves of paying rent (for council chambers).” Coun. Linda Nixon, the only survivor from the previous council explained that the elevator was the result of a provincial government white paper that emphasized the need for public buildings to be accessible. “And affordable,” interjected Mayor Mark McKee. The meat of discussion, which was dominated by Orlando, McKee and councillor Connie Brothers, came down to the fact the new council wants to learn more about the planning process behind the city hall renovations before moving forward with more than a million in spending over the next four years. “These are big ticket items,” said Brothers. “I’m concerned I have to vote on this when I don’t have a handle on what these projects are, what they involve, whether or not we truly need them, and whether or not they’re a priority. We may need them, but we have so many other issues to deal with.” One thing that was acknowledged was the need to finish the downstairs renovations at city hall. The rest of the interior renovations were pushed back. “For 2015 we have to put something in the budget to finish the renovation project and get city hall functioning the way it’s supposed to be,” said McKee. “Then council is going to have a look with staff at what’s going to be our priorities over the next five years.” In the end, council voted to push back the elevator, moving council chambers and finance department renovations by a year each so they could have a chance to look at the planning and necessity of each project.

Many big ticket items in city’s capital plan “You’re only committing to 2015 when you adopt the budget later on,” he said. “When we come to do the 201620 plan, it’s councils prerogative to change the budget.” Here’s a rundown on some of the other spending items in the capital plan that council questioned: — Council asked about IT spending, such as $110,000 budgeted this year to purchase and install new finance software.

From previous page The city hall renovations produced the biggest discussion at the budget meeting, but it wasn’t the only item councillors questioned. One thing Inglis stressed was that council would only be committing the city to spending for 2015 when they vote on the budget. The spending projects identified for the next four years were there to give council an idea of what was coming up.

was very old. “It works, but there’s better products out there that can help us provide better information to our customers and other departments.” — There were questions about spending $75,000 on permit tracking software for the planning department. Thomas said it would improve customer service by helping city keep track of all permits that come into city hall. Right now, everything is tracked by hand. — Council asked about replacing one of the city’s fire trucks for $450,000. Fire chief Rob Girard said Engine #2 is 30 years old and is the last truck to be replaced.”It’s been in the plan since I’ve been the chief,” he said, adding he would be bringing a business case to council later this year. — Connie Brothers asked about spending $60,000 in 2016 on a new sub-division bylaw. Dean Strachan, the manager of development services, said the current bylaw was old and difficult for developers to work with. “I’d be keen on working on that sooner, I’m just not sure I’d have the time to do that,” he said. — Some of the spending on the RCMP detachment was questioned. Inglis said those projects were requested by the RCMP. Two of the requests, $32,000 for new workstations and $15,000 for flooring, were pushed back to 2016. — A motion to defer a hazardous building assessment of the courthouse was defeated but council did vote to defer exterior lighting upgrades by a year. — The capital plan includes $500,000 to fix the Mutas/Victoria

intersection in 2016, and $400,000 to fix the Townley/Fourth/Victoria intersection in 2017. Thomas said he was working with stakeholders — the Ministry of Transportation on the former and CP Rail on the latter — on solutions. “We need to keep trying to find a solution that best meets the expectations of all the stakeholders,” he said. — The bucket truck, which is used for things like installing street banners and replacing streetlights is up for replacement. Coun. Orlando asked if that was necessary. Darren Komonoski, the public works manager, said the truck was costing almost as much to repair as it was worth, adding he was looking to see if it was worth contracting out that work instead of buying a new truck. — The city plans on spending $130,000 on Mackenzie Avenue streetlights from Third to Eighth. Thomas told council the lights aren’t grounded and pose a public safety hazard where someone could receive a 120 volt shock in the worst case scenario. — The arena roof replacement is in the budget for 2017 at a cost of $7 million. Mayor McKee said the whole building should be looked at before making a decision on the roof. “There’s no point putting new roof if the building is falling apart,” he said. Laurie Donato, the director of parks, recreation and culture, said she could come back to council with more information on arena upgrades. — One item that was moved forward was $380,000 for water line upgrades to the Hill Crest Hotel. Thomas said the work is

being spurred both by public safety needs (the fire hydrant closest to the hotel is downhill and far away) and the upcoming construction of the new Mount Begbie Brewery nearby. The item was budgeted for 2016, but Thomas said there were advantages to doing the work this year, and it could be done for about $220,000 if moved forward. — Council voted to add the Big Eddy Waterworks upgrades to the financial plan, even if the total cost and timing is not yet know. The costs will be borne by Big Eddy property owners. — $1.2 million is budgeted in 2019 to upgrade the sewage treatment plant. Thomas said this was in the budget as a placeholder. A bigger focus is to reduce storm and groundwater infiltration into the sewer system, which would help increase the plant’s capacity. A few other big projects weren’t discussed but are in the capital plan: — The Farwell neighbourhood is scheduled for a major re-work in 2017 and 2018 at a cost of about $1.9 million. — The water budget includes $1.6 million from 2017–19 to install water lines to the South Revelstoke area. Thomas said this may be a joint project with the regional district. — There is $615,000 budgeted in 2019 to replace the filters at the Greeley water treatment plant. — There is $800,000 budgeted in 2018 to replace the Downie Force Main.

Red Bull Cold Rush cancelled ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

The paucity of snow this winter has claimed another victim. The Red Bull Cold Rush, a freeski event that was set to take place at Revelstoke Mountain Resort from March 23–26, has been cancelled due to poor snow conditions. "This event requires deep powder snow to be a success," said Scott Jewett, the event manager in a news release. "Safety for athletes and delivering a premium, progressive ski contest are our ultimate goals for Red Bull Cold Rush. Unfortunately, conditions will not allow for either." The news is disappointing but not entirely surprising given the ski conditions this year. The event was supposed to take place in early February, but a series of warm and wet Pineapple Express systems, that were usually followed by freezes, forced organizers to postpone the event in the hopes the backcountry conditions would improve.

The Revelstoke backcountry is normally powder heaven. Conditions this year are subpar, forcing the cancellation of the Red Bull Cold Rush. Bryan Ralph/Red Bull Content pool

Instead, the last month has been mostly dry, with minimal new snow and a hard crust forming throughout the area. As a result, Red Bull has chosen to cancel the event rather than hope for a return of winter. This is the second winter in

a row a marquee freeride event has been cancelled in Revelstoke. Last winter, the Freeride World Tour stop was postponed to March from December. It then had to be cancelled when the avalanche danger rose substantially the week of the event.

Mistrial declared in Joshua Bredo case City to regulate medical marijuana grow-ops

LOUISE DICKSON Victoria Times-Colonist

VICTORIA — The trial of a Victoria man accused of the firstdegree murder of Revelstoke’s Daniel Levesque in August 2011 has ended in a mistrial. Joshua Bredo’s trial for the murder, sexual assault and unlawful confinement of Levesque began Jan. 28 in B.C. Supreme Court and was expected to last seven weeks. But after hearing evidence from police, paramedics and forensic experts, the trial became bogged down in legal issues. Last Tuesday, Mar. 3, Justice Malcolm Macaulay declared a mistrial and discharged the jurors of their duties. “As has been apparent for some time, there has been an unusually lengthy list of matters that have had to be addressed in your absence,” Macaulay told the jury. “It is now apparent to me that this matter was not properly ready for trial with a jury in all the circumstances. There are simply

too many unresolved issues that require your absence and there are still too many others in the future for this trial to continue.” Bredo’s trial will resume in the future, before another jury, if necessary, when it is properly ready to proceed, said Macaulay. Bredo was initially charged

with the second-degree murder of the 20-year-old Levesque. The charge was stayed in December 2011 due to a lack of evidence. After more investigation, Bredo was charged with first-degree murder in December 2011 and with sexual assault and unlawful confinement in 2013.

Bill Green running for Green Party ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Kimberley’s Bill Green is the candidate for the Green Party in the riding of Kootenay-Columbia for the 2015 election. “I believe there is a growing dismay with the present government,” he said. “People are thinking that it’s time for a change. The key is to convince them that the Green Party is the change they should make.” Green, 62, is a biologist and manager who is the founder of the Canadian Columbia River InterTribal Fisheries Commission. The group has been working to reestablish the salmon run up the Columbia River. “I’ve always been drawn to

water, fish and aquatic systems, both for recreation and work,” he said. “I have worked passionately to protect and care for aquatic ecosystems since the mid-1970’s.” He said he would work to foster an environmentally sustainable, green economy in the region. He said the federal government could promote a green economy by adjusting tax policies, and providing incentives for green energy, more efficient construction standards, and green infrastructure. Green finished third in the 2011 election, with 5.95 per cent of the vote in the riding. He believes that MP David Wilks will not get away with skipping debates and forums this time around. “The long gun registry is

behind us. That’s no longer an issue. There are a broad range of issues and David Wilks will have to address them. He has to show up and speak to his government’s record.” Green said he was campaigning to win the riding. “Greens across the country have shown that Greens can get elected and bring a wide range of important issues forward at all levels of government” he said. “Most importantly, I want to give real representation to the people and communities of this riding in Parliament. We need to revive our democracy, we need a smart economy, and we need strong communities.” With files from the Cranbrook Daily Townsman.

The City of Revelstoke is proposing to allow medical marijuana grow ops only in parts of the city zoned light industrial. Staff is asking council to give the go-ahead to develop a new bylaw that would create rules and regulations surrounding legal grow-ops in the community. The bylaw would add a definition for Medical Marijuana Production facility and add its use to light industrial areas. Currently, the industrial park, parts of the Big Eddy, a few areas along Westside Road and the community forest log yard are zoned light industrial. The bylaw is being developed so the city can conform to new Health Canada regulations that came into effect Apr. 1, 2014, that say medical marijuana must be produced in a licensed, secure facility. Should the new city regulation be passed, someone wishing to open

Capsule Comments With John Teed & David Lafreniere Many people were told they had a penicillin allergy when they were young. However, in 2012, the Mayo Clinic did a study of 384 patients about to have surgery. They were given a skin test which is a safe way of determining an allergy. Of the 384 patients, 94% tested negatively for a penicillin allergy. These results gave physicians a greater range (and often less expensive) of antibiotics if they were needed post-surgery. This allergy may be something to have checked.

49 groups seek CBT funding ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

A large crowd packed the community centre for the Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review funding meeting last Tuesday.

Forty-nine community organizations made their pitch to the community to receive funding from the Columbia Basin Trust at the community centre last Tuesday, Mar. 3. The annual event where various organizations make their case for Affected Areas & Community Initiatives Program funding brought out more than 100 people to the community centre. There were 49 groups looking for funding (a 50th, the Revelstoke Climbing Coop, withdrew its application at the last minute), ranging from museums to social

organizations to sports clubs. They were seeking a combined $707,044 to help fund $1,706,827 in projects. CBT has $339,519 to give out to Revelstoke and area groups this year. The complete list of projects can be read on the Times Review website. Following the presentations, attendees were allowed to make their top 10 choices for funding. The community vote is worth 15 per cent of an applicant's score, while the rest is determined by a panel of evaluators: Fraser Blythe, Linda Chell, Janet Lemieux, Cindy Maloney and Gary Starling. City council makes the final decision on funding.

Telus bringing broadband to town ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Revelstoke’s wait for true high speed Internet may be finally over. The City of Revelstoke announced last Thursday morning that Telus will be connecting more than 90 per cent of homes and businesses in Revelstoke directly to fibre optic cables — a move that will make Internet speeds of up to 100 megabits per second available to customers. “Revelstoke is thrilled to be selected for this project and we’re especially happy that it’s coming at no cost to the municipality or its citizens” said Mayor Mark McKee. “We recognize that fast internet connection speeds make a community more attractive, and that we have to stay competitive in this area to attract visitors, residents and businesses to our community. We’re grateful to Telus for their investment in our community and helping us to achieve our goals.” Revelstoke has been hampered by slow Internet in recent years, with the network’s capacity unable to meet demand at peak hours, particularly in evenings during the winter, when the town is full of residents and visitors browsing the web. The rise in popularity of streaming video services like Netflix has compounded the situation. “I think historically the copper-based network Revelstoke has had over the years has been challenged to keep up with the growth in demand,” said Tony Geheran, the president of broadband networks for Telus, at a meeting in council chambers with several senior Telus managers and local politicians. Also there from Telus were Bert Braybrook, the general manager for the Kamloops region; Clare Adams, the senior market manager for Revelstoke; and Zouheir Mansourati, the vicepresident for broadband implementation. Representing the City of Revelstoke were Mayor Mark McKee, councillors Aaron Orlando, Linda Nixon and Gary Sulz; and acting CAO Graham Inglis. Telus approached the City of Revelstoke about a year ago as part of their nation-wide roll-out of broadband into smaller communities that began in 2013. In B.C., Salmon Arm, Sechelt, Gibsons, Armstrong, Oliver and Osoyoos were connected in the first year. More communities were hooked up last year, and Revelstoke is part of this year’s roll out. The City of Revelstoke signed a memorandum of understanding with Telus last year to ensure

The investment is being made without any cost to the taxpayer. “We try to get a year ahead for the communities we want to go to so all those processes out of the way and we can start the build as soon as possible,” said Geheran. “There’s no obligation on the city’s part. They city hasn’t made any obligation to Telus that they wouldn’t to any other service provider. It’s a open collaborative relationship.” The matter was a poorly kept secret until last week’s announcement. Telus’ plan is to roll out fibreoptic broadband cable into each home and business in the City of Revelstoke and small portions of the rural area over the next year. The 90 per cent figure given in the press release is a hedge agains the fact that some people might opt not to connect, said Geheran. The network will be installed in stages. The community has been divided up into 11 “fibre service areas.” As the cable is extended to each area, sales people will be knocking on doors to sell people on the new services. The connection is free, and residents are under no obligation to sign up for Telus services, said Geheran. Telus expects existing subscribers to upgrade and new subscribers to sign on as they roll out the broadband. Customers will be able to sign up for Internet speeds of 15, 25, 50 or 100 megabits per second. Rates start at $58 per month at the lowest end, to $88 per month for 100 mbps Internet. The cost

of television will depend on what options the customer chooses, and there are packages available. “Most would elect to take a higher speed Internet service,” he said. “They’ll probably elect to take Optik TV service because the features are pretty good.” Everyone should be hooked up and able to to sign up for broadband by early 2016. A microsite at telus.com/revelstoke will be set up so people can find out when their neighbourhood will be hooked up. Geheran said this amounts to a $7 million investment. “This is going to open up a lot of doors for businesses and residents to enjoy broader connectivity,” said McKee. “It’s going to offer opportunity for people who want to enjoy our lifestyle, move here and run their home-based business.” Revelstoke Cable subscribers will remain on the cable network. General manager Tracey Buckley said they would be installing new equipment in the coming months to improve bandwidth. At that point they’ll be re-branding, remarketing and re-packaging their offerings. “I’m hoping we’ll have more than adequate bandwidth in the next month or two in Revelstoke,” she said. “At that time we want to give customers options. “Our approach is to have highbandwidth Internet, but at good prices. Of course, with your local support with Revelstoke people in an office available to help customers.”

LETTERS POLICY

BY DR. DAVID SMITH

The ages between 12 to 24 are challenging for almost all youth. The biological, social, physical and psychological path to adulthood is not easy, even under the best of circumstances. But coupled with that tough journey is the fact that 75 per cent of all mental health disorders first show up in these teen/young adult years, too. For the majority, the mental health issue is apt to be mild to moderate anxiety or depression; both highly treatable. A number of other very important mental health issues, however, also tend to arise first in the teen years. Here is some general information and links to resources for two specific issues: eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Next week we will talk about bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

In all cases, if you suspect your child might be suffering from a specific condition talk to your family doctor or contact the Child and Youth Mental Health clinic provided by the Ministry of Children and Family Development in your nearest community. Call Service BC at 1-800-661-8773 to find the nearest MCFD office to you. Eating disorders: The transition from adolescence to adulthood is particularly risky for the development of anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN). An estimated 0.9% of young women aged 12 to 24 will develop AN, while about 1.5 % of young women develop BN. While young women are three times more likely to develop these disorders, young men in recent years are increasingly showing to have eating issues. While our societal obsession with thinness may set the scene; genetic risk factors, as well as underlying anxiety, perfectionism and selfesteem issues are thought to combine to trigger the disorders. Once anorexia starts and the body gets into starvation mode, the brain chemistry changes. As well, the body's dehydration, altered electrolyte balance and poor nutritional status can lead to heart rhythm issues and other organ

function problems. The goal in treating anorexia is to refeed the person to a healthier weight, and then treat the disordered thinking behind the condition, with one or more of the most effective treatments. These treatments include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), family-based therapy and dialectic behavior therapy (DBT). Re-feeding and psychotherapy may co-occur once the person is progressing to a healthier weight. With bulimia, along with CBT, antidepressant medication has been shown to be helpful. In both conditions, medications may be helpful if there is a co-occurring mood or anxiety disorder, as is often the case. Symptoms of AN to look for in your teen include rapid or significant weight loss, food restriction and obsession with calories or exercise. For BN, weight loss may not be very apparent, but your teen may go to the washroom immediately after eating and run the water. You may see evidence of vomiting in the toilet bowl. Since anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness, it is important to seek help at the first signs. For more information and to see a full listing of provincial programs, including the Provincial Specialized Eating Disorders Program for

Children and Adolescents at BC Children’s Hospital, as well for videos and other helpful information, see Kelty Eating Disorders, keltyeatingdisorders.ca. Another source for information is the National Eating Disorders Information Centre, nedic.ca. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Obsessions are repetitive, intrusive and unwanted thoughts that cause the affected youth great anxiety. Compulsions are the actions or the rituals that he or she must go through to reduce the anxiety caused by the obsessive thoughts. A very common OCD obsession is about contamination or germs, with the compulsion being the need to hand wash repeatedly or avoid any surface, individual or situation where germs might be present. Another common OCD obsession is the fear that something terrible will happen unless the youth takes a specific ritualistic action, like counting, checking, or placing items in a specific order. Genetic risk factors plus an environmental trigger are thought to set off the illness, which tends to run in families. One environmental trigger that may be linked to sudden onset OCD symptoms in some

Young skiers excel as Ski Club hosts Nancy Greene zone finals MARY CLAYTON Revelstoke Ski Club

The Revelstoke Ski Club hosted the Nancy Greene zone final this past weekend and many of our young skiers were on the podium. With almost 200 racers from teams throughout the Okanagan zone, the competition was tough but home-hill advantage seemed to pay off for our youngest skiers, many of whom were experiencing their first race. On Saturday the youngest skiers had two races through the gates set on Hollywood. This group was aged five to eight and judging by their smiles at the end of the course, we’ve got some eager racers coming up through

the ranks. Results were: 2010 boys Egan Kelly – 1st in both races 2008 boys Benjamin Jones – 1st and 3rd 2009 boys Nick Gill – 3rd Sunday’s two races, also on Hollywood, were for the older kids, ages nine to 12. The Revelstoke Ski Club had many podiums and excellent results from all our racers. 2006 girls Meya Musseau – 1st and 2nd 2006 boys Maxim Cater (racing up a category) – 1st and 2nd 2005 girls Nora Sidjak – 2nd in both races 2005 boys

Reed Keely – 1st in both races Liam Freathy – 2nd and 3rd 2004 girls Sydney Musseau – 3rd Erika Peasgood – 2nd 2004 boys Teigan Lenzi – 3rd in both races 2003 boys Alex Jay – 1st in both races Odin Woods – 2nd in both races McKinley Buchanan – 3rd in both races The club is gearing up to host the U14 Can-Ams March 19–22. There will be two days of GS racing and two days of slalom racing between some of the best young skiers in western Canada. Come and check out the action!

A thundering achievement Land of Thundering Snow exhibit given two part launch ALEX COOPER

editor@revelstoketimesreview.com

Five years ago, on Mar. 4. 2010, Revelstoke held an emotional memorial ceremony for the victims of the deadliest avalanche in Canadian History. 100 years earlier, 58 railway workers died when they were buried in a slide off Avalanche Mountain in Rogers Pass. The memorial sparked a discussion at the Revelstoke Museum & Archives that more was needed to be done to mark the history of avalanches in Canada. The result of those talks turned into Land of Thundering Snow — an online exhibit that looks at the history of avalanches in Canada in terms of its impact on lives, transportation and industry. The launch took place last Wednesday, Mar. 4, in two parts. First, the physical exhibit was launched at the museum in the afternoon. It features informational displays about avalanches, snow science and snow safety, with historical artifacts including old snow study instruments and a Skadi beacon from the early 1970s. That evening, the lead researcher John Woods gave an overview of the online exhibit — the product of 2.5 years of research. The exhibit includes five components. Lessons of the Past features an interactive map with information on every recorded fatal avalanche in Canadian history. They date back to 1782, when 22 people died when an avalanche struck an Aboriginal community at Nain, Labrador. The map allows you to look at when fatal avalanches happened, and what kind of activity was taking place — whether it was recreational, transportation, industry, affecting a community, or other. Six avalanches are looked at in more details, and a full look is given to the superstorm of 1910, when a series of massive snowfalls resulted in 10 fatal avalanches that claimed 180 lives — 59 in Canada and 121 in the United States. The second section of the website looks at the anatomy of an avalanche and how they’re caused. The third section is on avalanche control work, from snowsheds to helicopter bombing. Section four looks at avalanche safety. The final section looks at the how avalanches impact the natural world. The exhibit also includes two lesson plans teachers can download. The first is on the anatomy of the avalanche, while the other is on avalanche control along transportation routes. The exhibit is a huge accomplishment for the Revelstoke Museum & Archives, who received $235,000 in funding from the Virtual Museum of Canada in 2012. A project team, consisting entirely of Revel-

stokians was assembled. It was lead by Cathy English and managed by Hayley Johnson. Woods led the research, assisted by Tomoaki Fujimura. The website was designed by Kathryn Whiteside and developed by Calgary’s Sland Studios. Carly Moran designed the museum exhibit. Sarra Dupuis translated everything into French, while Kendra Von Bremen produced the educational materials and Francois Desrosiers produced numerous videos for the website. Avalanche Canada, Okanagan College, Parks Canada, the Revelstoke Railway Museum and the Virtual Museum of Canada were also partners. The museum was able to gather a great deal of archival material while developing the exhibit. As Woods said at the launch, “This is only the beginning.” A sixth section asks the public to contribute more information on the history of avalanches in Canada. “Our understanding of the relationship of snow avalanches and Canada’s first peoples is fragmentary; photographic records of avalanche incidents and safety measures at pioneer mines is incomplete; few artifacts related to avalanches are stored in Canadian museums; and many important digital and printed images are in danger of being lost or rendered less valuable because of inadequate labeling.” You can check out the exhibit at the museum or online at landofthunderingsnow.ca.

Atom Grizzlies win Okanagan Valley championship STACEY GRIMM Revelstoke Minor Hockey

The Revelstoke Junior Grizzlies travelled to Chase, BC this past weekend representing North Okanagan in the Valley Championships. It was a whirlwind journey as they played six games in 10 days. They qualified for the Valleys on March 2, beating out Lumby in a close 4-3 game to take the league playoff banner. At the district tournament they started strong with a 7-2 win over West Kelowna with points from Ryan Howe, Sawyer Grimm, Brodie Patry, Kurtis Kinoshita, and Thomas MacDonald. Game two ended in a tie against Logan Lake, whom they would meet in the finals on Sunday. Donald Robichaud took the lead in scoring in their second game with two goals. Revelstoke finished off Saturday by playing the host team Chase, with a strong win and a shutout for the goalie Thomas Campbell. The final playoff game against Logan Lake was full of intensity. Revelstoke’s leadoff goals in period one and two were scored

by Justin Kungl and then Sawyer Grimm. In the third, Logan Lake retaliated to tie it up. Goals by Noah Overwater and Brodie Patry, assisted by Thomas MacDonald and Zachary Burke, led Revelstoke to the win, but not before Logan Lake pulled their goalie to come within one point. With a final score of 4-3, Revelstoke won the championship. A combination of teamwork, high calibre coaching and a goalie who can stand on his head, allowed the boys to hold the banner proudly. Many thanks to all the community partners who supported the team in the playoffs including: Community Futures, Revelstoke Credit Union, Revelstoke History of Hockey and Grizzly Auto. Congratulations to the triple banner Atom team: league champions, playoff champs and valley champions! The win completed an Okanagan sweep for Revelstoke’s minor hockey teams after the Peewee and Bantam squads also won their The Revelstoke Atom Grizzlies celebrate their Okanagan Super League championship in league titles. Both teams will be playing in the Chase on the weekend. Contributed by Revelstoke Minor Hockey provincial championships starting March 15.

This weekend my friends and I went to a synchronized swim meet in Kelowna. We have been training once a week with our coaches Carmen Legate and Sherrelle Anderson since October. We left Revelstoke at 6 a.m. and drove to Kelowna. When we got there we got into our sparkly blue swim suits and then put gelatin in our hair. We put it in so that when we do our routines our hair doesn't get in our face. Then we went out on deck and we did our warm up. We watched all of the provincial girls do their routines. After the provincial girls there were four recreational teams ahead of us. I was feeling a little nervous while watching the other teams. Before us was our other team with Amelie Delesalle, Haley Callaghan, Makayla Pelletier and Jade Soles. Our routine was called "Splish Splash." In my group was me, (Monica Parkin), Lutza Berkenbosch, Evan Smith, Aidan Lawrence and Anya Jones. After everyone finished their routines we did our figures. This is where we go in the pool one at a time and perform a "figure" in front of five judges. The figures were sailboat alternate, back tuck somersault, head first sculling and front layout. This was the end of

the competition part. Next up we did stations. The stations were working on patterns, sailboats, sculling and front walk over. Then, in our groups, we did relays. The relays were chain sculling, consecutive somersaults, under, kick-pull-kick, and highlights. Then we went back into the change rooms and used pineapple juice to get the gelatin out of our hair! We all went to din-

ner at the Old Spaghetti Factory before driving home, and getting home at midnight. My favourite part of the synchro meet was learning to open my eyes under water without goggles, and my favourite part about being in synchronized swimming lessons is learning new skills, especially the flips. Monica Parkin is an eightyear-old synchronized swimmer.

Dance Society presents

PROX:IMITY RE:MIX ... STARRING LOCAL YOUTH!

Saturday March 21st

Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre at 7:30pm PROX:IMITY RE:MIX is a layered performance combining dance, theatre and a complex multimedia universe that explores being young in this time and place.

Skating Club Ice Show celebrates Movie Night on Thursday JENNIFER WALKER-LARSEN Revelstoke Skating Club

Revelstoke skaters and coaches put the final touches on the Skating Club’s upcoming Name That Movie ice show at a dress rehearsal last week and are pleased to share a sneak peak of the show that celebrates 'movie night' — the entertainment of choice for many Canadian households. “Skaters have improved since last year’s ice show and are very excited to show off their hard work,” said Head Coach Nina Greschner. “The ice show is also an important opportunity for skaters to learn how to perform under the pressure of a local crowd.” The show showcases a number of popular movies from now and the past including The Thomas Crown Affair, Tron, Frozen, Kung Fu Panda and Star Wars. Before intermission, four ‘mystery movies’ will also be featured. Audience members who purchase a ballot and name the mystery movies correctly will have the chance to win a prize. Come to

the Forum on Thursday, Mar. 12, to enjoy the show and support our local skaters. Doors open at 5:30 pm, admission by donation. Some of the senior skaters took the time to share their thoughts on the show and what it means to perform in their home town. “I enjoy skating in Revelstoke because I want to show off my progress and the crowd is small enough town that you know almost everyone,” said Makenna Howe. “I think it is important that every skater gets a chance to skate in front of a full house in their own town.” “Each year we put on a very different and creative ice show,” said Alexis Larsen. “I think it will be fun for the audience to get involved and guess the mystery movies.” “I like to perform in Revelstoke because I like to skate for people I know. It feels more personal,” said Sophie Dorrius. “And the ice show is really special because of the size of the crowd and the effect created by the spotlights.”

Along with the movie-themed numbers, the show will feature solo performances by both adult and youth skaters. This will give the audience a chance to see local skaters deliver medal-winning solos they have showcased at various skating competitions around the province this season. Starting again in September 2015, the Revelstoke Skating Club will be offering a variety of skate programs for adults and kids including Skate Canada Canskate and Starskate programs for beginner and developing skaters; Powerskate, a fast-paced program designed for hockey and ringette skaters; and adult programs. Early bird registration starts in June. Interested in helping to develop a strong skating program in Revelstoke and want to offer your skills either on or off the ice? Come to the Skating Club's annual general meeting at the Revelstoke Community Centre on April 22, 2015, at 7 p.m. or contact President Liane Dorrius at ldorrius@telus.net.

Columbia Basin Trust funds Avalanche Canada Contributed by COLUMBIA BASIN TRUST

Avalanche Canada is receiving $325,000 over two years from Columbia Basin Trust to help it continue its work of increasing public safety for winter backcountry users. Avalanche Canada is a national public avalanche safety organization, with world-leading accident

prevention programs and services. Based in Revelstoke, the organization produces daily avalanche forecasts throughout the winter for many of the well-used mountainous regions of western Canada, including the Kootenay/Boundary and Purcells. It has also developed an internationally recognized curriculum for recreational avalanche safety training, and support instructors who

teach thousands of people each year. "The services of Avalanche Canada are essential when it comes to winter safety, both here and elsewhere in the country,” said Neil Muth, Columbia Basin Trust's president and CEO. "We know that both residents and visitors to the Basin benefit greatly from the daily bulletins and avalanche warnings. As a non-profit, the organization’s funds

come from a variety of sources and vary from year to year." The Trust’s commitment includes $100,000 per year for two years for ongoing activities, such as the Public Avalanche Warning Service, Avalanche Canada’s training courses and youth-specific initiatives. It also includes a one-time $125,000 grant that will enable the organization to continue develop-

ing its new website and its mountain information network, which allows backcountry users to share real-time data and observations from the field. In addition, this grant will allow Avalanche Canada to make important information technology purchases that will help stabilize its public avalanche warning services and reach a broader base of winter backcountry recreationists.

OCD can be debilitating if untreated Mental health, from page 6 susceptible children is a recent infection with Streptococcus A bacteria (Strep throat.) This burgeoning, but controversial area of research may yield more insights in future years. Treatment with antidepressant-types of medication plus exposure response prevention therapy – a specific form of cognitive behavioural therapy that features gradual exposure to the issue causing the obsessive thoughts and compulsions — has been shown to have success with some individuals. Left untreated, however, OCD can be very debilitating. The longer the OCD goes on, the harder it is to

treat. Again, if you are worried about possible signs of OCD in your child, see your family doctor or the Ministry of Children and Family Development CYMH clinic in your region. They may refer your child to specialized services, such as psychiatric services or the specialized OCD program at BC Children’s Hospital. For more information, see ocdbc. ca, kelthymentalhealth.ca or the OCD pages at cmha.ca Next column, we will talk about Bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia.

and the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health. This series of columns on common child and youth mental health issues is a project of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substances Use Collaborative. The Collaborative involves multiple individuals, organizations and ministries all working together to increase the number of children, youth, and their families receiving timely access to mental health services and support in the Interior Health and Vancouver Island regions. The Collaborative is jointly funded by Doctors of BC and the government of BC.

Passed away peacefully following a courageous battle with cancer. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Paul, son Cody and daughter Bethany. She is survived by father George and mother Ann, who was her constant companion during her illness, staying by her side until the end; sister Audrey (Jim, Jasmine, Madeline and Katie); brother Scott (Robert and Sarah); sister Angela (Derrick, Caleb, Nicole and Joel); brother -in-law Colin (Aaron, Kimberley, Lindsey and Melanie); sister-in-law Barb (Greg, Christine and Michelle). Dolly was born in Calgary and in 1965 moved with her parents to Revelstoke where she grew up. She worked at the Royal Bank for approximately 10 years where she met her husband Paul. Married on August 11, 1990, they had two beautiful children Cody (19) and Bethany (17). She was an extraordinary wife, mother and home-school teacher who devoted her life to the well-being of her family. She enjoyed being outdoors with her family, especially camping at Parksville. She also loved to travel, in particular to Maui where she ran the marathon, finishing first in her age group. Dolly was a friend, mentor, advocate and motivator who had great determination and courage. Unselfish and generous, she will be remembered for the many lives she touched and the friendships she made along the way. She had a passion for running, putting in numerous miles with her close friends Debbie, Pauline, Robin and Gayla from the Ladysmith Striders. A woman of faith and a great believer in Jesus, Dolly finished her marathon of life to claim her victory in the loving arms of her Lord and Saviour. The family wishes to extend their sincere appreciation to the amazing staff and volunteers at the Patient Care Centre on the 8th floor South at the Royal Jubilee Hospital.

He later moved to the Sunshine Coast where he became president of the Roberts Creek Legion.

Dave Williams With deep sorrow we announce the passing of Mr. David Lee Williams at Mt. Cartier Court Extended Care, Revelstoke on Saturday, February 28, 2015 at the age of 74 years. A Celebration and Honouring of Life will be held at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Revelstoke on Thursday afternoon, March 26th at 2 pm with Reverend Dan Meakes officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Mt. Cartier Court Extended Care Foundation, Bag 5000, Revelstoke, B.C. V0E 2S0 or to the charity of one’s choice in memory of Dave. Born on June 26, 1940 in Dodsland, Saskatchewan, Dave grew up in the communities of Kerrobert and Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan prior to his move to Revelstoke in the late 1960’s. Dave’s life was one of adventure. He was an avid historian and a man engaged in our community. He was an accomplished mural artist and sign painter, commercial scuba diver and surveyor, a life-long writer, story teller, model-maker and cartoonist. He was a compassionate man, who also had a superb sense of humour. Dave was involved with the Cadets and Scouts in Meadow Lake and Revelstoke, assisting with their activities and training. He loved to fly, having earned his small aircraft pilot license in his late teens. He also enjoyed riding his motorbikes and teaching others to ride. Dave’s imagination developed his many talents to the fullest and put them to use as an engineertechnician at CP Rail Revelstoke Division and especially during his decades of employment at Three-Valley Gap, where he felt as though with family. Dave was predeceased by his parents Walter and Jean and step mother Romona, and his father and mother-in-law, Tom and Harriet Chase. He is survived by his loving wife Miriam of Revelstoke; step-daughter Elizabeth (Keith) Hollingsworth of Barrhead, Alberta and their children: Rylan, Justin, Morgan and Samantha; Aunt Ferne Vincent of Outlook, Saskatchewan and Uncle Esmond Allcock of Kerrobert, Saskatchewan as well as many cousins. His family extends heart-felt thanks to all in the medical community who helped Dave through his years in care. Especially during his last weeks, doctors, hospital staff and Mt. Cartier Court, you gave extraordinary care to Dave, with all compassion possible. We thank you. Messages of condolence may be sent to the family by visiting Dave’s obituary notice at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com Cremation arrangements are in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.
