New Three Valley Gap avalanche control system announced ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com A new avalanche control system is coming to Three Valley Gap that the government hopes will reduce the length of closures on the Trans-Canada Highway. Minister of Transportation Todd Stone was in Revelstoke on Monday to announce several new highway initiatives. “We heard loud and clear improvements were needed at Three Valley Gap to shorten the duration of long closures,” said the minister during a press conference in Woodenhead Park.

The biggest is the new avalanche control system for Three Valley Gap. The ministry will be installing remote-control explosive devices along avalanche paths above the highway. The devices can be operated remotely, at any time of day, eliminating the need for day-time helicopter bombing missions that require several-hour-long highway closures. “This system will significantly cut down on the duration of closures when they take place,” said Stone. A request for expressions of interests is being issued to bring in the new avalanche control system. It will be similar to the sys-

tem used on the Laurie slide path east of Revelstoke, and in Kootenay Pass on Highway 3. The devices are not expected to be installed until 2016. Two other initiatives were also announced. Twenty new variable speed signs will be installed on the highway between Revelstoke and the Perry River Bridge. The electronic signs will monitor road conditions and adjust the speed limit accordingly. The signs were first announced when the government increased speed limits across the province last year; they will be installed in the fall.

“This is technology used in other parts of the world and it’s proved to be highly effective and saves lives,” said Stone. The third development is the installation of new traffic light timers at the three highway intersections in Revelstoke. The new Automax system will use sensors embedded in the road to determine if traffic is backed up at a stop light. It will then adjust trafficsignal timing accordingly to speed up the movement of traffic. Mayor Mark McKee welcomed the announcements. see Highway, page 15

The City of Revelstoke's financial focus group is being reformed after a two year hiatus. Council passed new terms of reference for the group, which it hopes will have six members and present a report on the budget to council by October. Council aims to have the 2016 budget finished before the end of this year The terms of reference state the group will act as an advisory committee to council. They are expected to attend all budget meetings until the financial plan is presented to the public for comment. They will be expected to review financial material, provide comment and ask questions throughout the budget process. Interested people can apply at city hall.

How much waste can the sewage plant treat? ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com

WHAT IS THE CAPACITY OF REVELSTOKE'S SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT?

That question has been on people's minds as the city has grappled with odour issues, and as a proposal has come forward for a 1,200-unit development in Arrow Heights. Is the development of Revelstoke Mountain Resort and the increase in tourists and ski bums taxing the wastewater treatment system? Can the treatment plant handle an influx of new development, and even more waste? Mayor Mark McKee attempted to address those questions at the end of last Tuesday's council meeting. "Our recollection of previous reports puts it around 9,000 users," he said. "We estimate we have 5,000 people using it now." End of story. Or not.

Former CAO's retirement package tops $200,000 ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com It cost the City of Revelstoke more than $200,000 to have former Chief Administrative Officer Tim Palmer retire early. Palmer received 13 months salary, worth $151,667; 3.5 months of accrued vacation, worth $40,833; and $13,066.35 in lieu of benefits, for a total payout of $205,566.35. Palmer retired in February, following the

election of a new mayor and council. He has been serving as the interim CAO for the Village of Nakusp since early March. Palmer earned $142,000 last year. The Review obtained the financial terms of his retirement agreement through a Freedom of Information request. Palmer's position at the city was tenuous following the November election. The fall campaign was marked by a dispute between Palmer and Alan Mason, the city's direc-

tor of economic development, that became public. Palmer suspended Mason, only to have council re-instate Mason and force Palmer to apologize. Following the election, Mayor Mark McKee threw his support behind Mason. The mayor had no comment on Palmer's retirement package, saying he signed a confidentiality agreement. It's not unusual for a CAO to be let go when a new mayor and council is elected,

and they usually come with hefty six-figure payouts. How does Palmer's severance compare to other B.C. communities? In Saanich, former CAO Paul Murray received almost $470,000. In Grand Forks, CAO Doug Allin received $192,000; he has since been rehired. In Mission, Ken Bjorgaard received almost $389,000 to vacate his post, and it cost Maple Ridge $127,000 to get rid of its economic development manager.

Capacity question needs answer before major developments Continued from previous page ample, it can have a maximum biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of 45 milligrams per litre. BOD is one of those scientific terms that's really difficult to explain, but generally, the higher the BOD, the faster oxygen will deplete in a stream, which is bad for the environment. The ministry also regulated the level of total suspended solids (TSS). Thomas didn't have the current levels of TSS and BOD immediately available, but said they are reported monthly to the Ministry of the Enviroment, and that they don't exceed the maximum allowed. The other limit the ministry sets is the daily discharge of effluent. Stage One of the LWMP says the city is allowed to discharge a maximum of 4,152 cubic-metres of effluent per day into the Illecillewaet River. It also shows that over seven years, from 2000 to 2006, inflow of wastewater to the plant averaged just under 3,000 cubic-metres every day, but peaked at more than 6,100 cubic-metres. This was at a time when the service population was about 6,400 people. Peaks are due to storm water infiltration into the system, which the city is spending $40,000 per year to address. If the average inflow is lower than the maximum allowed outflow, the plant is doing OK. You can look for ways to maintain the quality of the effluent in order to meet regulations. The mixers that were installed last week might help with that, said Thomas. “You look at the average flow in, the total volume of the plant, how much air you can put in, and you look for efficiencies in that," said Thomas. *** The purpose of the LWMP is to set out a path for the city to upgrade the wastewater system to handle forecast increases in population. Stage Two of the plan presents the upgrades required to meet population growth. It was started in 2008 and a fifth draft was produced in 2012 before falling on the backburner. It calls for more than $25 million in capital spending to service a population of 13,500 people. On the collection side, that figure includes about $1 million to replace the Downie force main, and $6.7 million to connect RMR and Arrow Heights (the trunk main and lift stations to that part of town were completed in 2009). On the treatment side, it calls for $8.6 million in upgrades to the sewage treatment plant. Many of the upgrades involve converting to a mechanical plant from the current aerated lagoon system. The current financial plan budgets $1.2 million for treatment plant upgrades in 2019. The plan also gives two options for treating the effluent — one is pumping it to the Columbia River and the other is adding a filtration system to the current discharge pipe. The former is more expensive in the short term but cheaper in the long term. *** During my conversation with Mike Thomas, one thing became clear — a lot of this is uncertain. The first work on the LWMP was conducted prior to Revelstoke Mountain Resort being developed. It was based on population forecasts that haven't materialized; the growth of the resort is dramatically less than expected. A lot of questions I had for Thomas were ones he couldn't give a direct answer to. They were still questions he needed to answer himself. "You don't want to be blind to something that might be an obvious problem. You’ve got to keep your mind open as to what might be the cause," he said. “Things we thought were problems are not problems, and other things we’ve still got questions on. I'm hopeful we'll have some good answers on this odour side here shortly, and definitely the capacity question.” The population question is one the planning department will be looking at. They will also look at the amount of industrial and commercial use. What's the impact of the proposed Mackenzie Village development, Downie Timber going to three shifts and the Mount Begbie Brewery expansion? Those are questions Thomas wants to answer before moving forward with any developments. “This stuff fascinates me, it really does," he said. "This is that longterm infrastructure planning stuff I need to do way more often because too often I’m dealing with the operational stuff. "An environmentally, socially and economically sustainable path forward for the city’s sewer treatment is a high priority for me," he added.

Dry weather means the Flats won't be flooded this year. ~ File photo, by Alex Cooper Photography

Columbia Basin facing third driest year since 1960 ALEX COOPER

alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com It's good news for birds and beach lovers, bad news for those that want to get into the water. Dryer than normal weather that reached nearrecord lows for rain in May means the Arrow Lakes won't reach full pool this year. That's good news if you like to play on the Columbia River Flats, most of which should stay dry. It's also good for nesting birds, who won't see their nests get inundated. It's bad news for boaters, who might not be able to use their docks. Beaches might be super-sized, which is good if you just like to tan, but bad if you actually want to get into the water. It could be bad for fish looking to spawn — they might not be able to get into their normal spawning channels due to the low water levels. All of this is a result of a draught leading to 2015 being the third driest year in the Columbia Basin since record keeping began in 1960. That was the message conveyed by BC Hydro, who hosted an open house on this year's reservoir operations at the community centre on Thursday, June 11. They had a series of poster boards filled with graphs, charts, infographics and maps, and two people from the operations centre in Burnaby were on hand. I was given an explanation of the situation by Peter McCann, a resource coordinator for the utility. Across the entire basin — Canada and the U.S. combined — there is 69 per cent as much water as normal, he told me. In Canada the situation isn't too bad, but across the border, they're facing draught conditions. It's the driest year since 2001, when water levels were 61 per cent of normal. BC Hydro begins its water year in October. Overall around Revelstoke, it was actually wetter than normal until March. But then, April and May were extremely dry. Precipitation in May was about half the normal level. Snowpack levels are slightly below normal in most of the Revelstoke area, but shrink the fur-

ther south you go. In the United States, there's pretty much no snow. So, why won't the Arrow Lakes reach full pool? That's because a lot of the precipitation that fell before April has already run down the mountains, through the reservoir, and out to the Pacific Ocean. Because it was so warm this winter, snow fell as rain, so rather than accumulate and melt out in spring, it just ran straight into the river. "All that runoff, we were not able to capture it in Arrow, unfortunately," McCann told me. One chart exemplified the problem. It showed water levels hovering around normal through early February, only to plummet downwards by June. The water wasn't captured in the Arrow Reservoir because for a while it looked like a normal year. Up north, some water was held back in the Kinbasket Reservoir and it is expected to reach full pool in mid-August. The Arrow Reservoir is expected to peak this weekend, at around 432 metres elevation. Normal full pool is about five metres higher. McCann said they will keep generating power at Mica Dam in order to keep Arrow levels up. He said they hope to keep the Arrow Reservoir at around 420 metres for most of the summer. Recreation is the main reason BC Hydro tries to keep reservoirs levels up in summer, said McCann. "People can't use their docks, there's beaches where people have to walk a kilometre or two to get to the water," he said. "It impacts tourism on the lake." Ecologically, it's good for nesting birds, but it could impact fish spawning. The dry conditions shouldn't impact power generation. McCann said that due to the U.S. being so dry, power prices are up, so BC Hydro will be generating power consistently and won't have to spill water. "There's not going to be a shortage of power in the province," he said. "We still have lots of water at present for that. If this prolonged draught goes on for a few years, then we'll start to see some problems."

MLA Report: Maximum action required on zebra and quagga mussels NORM MACDONALD

MLA, Columbia River-Revelstoke On the May long weekend in Alberta, a boat infested with zebra and quagga mussels was stopped by government inspectors before it entered Sylvan Lake. Had that same boat been headed for Windermere or Shuswap Lake, chances are pretty high that the infestation of British Columbia’s waterways by quagga and zebra mussels would now be underway. There is every reason to believe that under the current inspection program in B.C., an infected boat will not be found before it reaches a lake. Alberta is the most recent jurisdiction to take serious legislative action to ensure that their waterways are protected from zebra and quagga mussels. This invasive species, once it has entered the water system, can never be eradicated. The consequences of infestation to our economy and our environment, should it occur, will be immeasurable.

The Alberta government recently passed legislation that makes inspection mandatory for all boats entering the province, with fines for non-compliance and designated inspectors on the ground to ensure enforcement. The British Columbia government, in contrast, has chosen to take what it refers to as a ‘stepped up’ approach which focusses on education and outreach. Brynne Morrice, a young film maker from Vernon, has converted his passion for protecting our waterways into an international campaign against zebra and quagga mussels. You can watch his six minute video at www.protectourfreshwater.ca. In a public statement Morrice made to the Minister of Environment he said: “You said on CTV news that with your current preventative program you are ‘watching to see what works’. Let me point out what should be obvious. If any part of your program doesn’t ‘work,’ the result will be the infestation and subsequent destruction of our lakes and rivers.”

I cannot state this problem any more clearly than that. British Columbia must make boat inspection for every boat entering the province mandatory. We must have the inspectors on the ground to ensure that the law is enforced. And there must be meaningful fines for non-compliance. In a recently released statement by the Minister saying that there will be ‘new action’ to stop mussels this summer, the Minister claims to have an ‘early detection’ system. Let’s be clear. Once zebra and quagga mussels are detected in BC waters, there is no going back. Dealing with zebra and quagga mussels cannot be about early detection; it must be about 100% border protection. This is an issue that calls for maximum action, not just ‘watching to see what works’. Norm Macdonald is the MLA for Columbia River–Revelstoke. He can be reached at 1-866-870-4188 or norm.macdonald.mla@ leg.bc.ca.

LETTER

Please don't smoke: Mom's dying plea to son Editor, My Mom has been gone for 12 years now and I miss her a lot. Today (June 10) would have been her 73rd birthday. My Mom started smoking when she was but 14 years old. My grandparents didn't stop her or educate her. That was in the 50s and the info that we have today just wasn't there. She just thought that they didn't care. They did. They just didn't know. I make a point of telling young people about my mom and what she went through for 12 horrible, cancer-filled years — from losing one-third of her body weight, to losing her hair. The smoking turned her fingers to a yellowish

tinge and the smoke smell lingered in her clothes. She said one day that she liked having false teeth. They didn't yellow like natural teeth and they were easier to keep clean. She lost some nerve endings in her feet, thus making a single bed sheet over top of her feet unbearable. So she slept with her socks on at night. She told me that one of the worst side effects from years of chemo and radiation was that it killed her taste buds. She could smell the steak on the barbecue. She knew it would taste delicious! It didn't. She had no taste buds left. She told me that it tasted like cardboard. Everything did.

But most of all, it was losing her dignity. She did not want this, nor did she want it for others. She asked me one day before she died, "Please don't let me die in vain! Tell other young girls (and guys) my story and maybe they won't start smoking. Or if they smoke, maybe they'll quit. Maybe." Mom died later that month and I haven't forgot her or my pledge. There have been but a few that have quit smoking because of her. That's good, but I want more. That's why I tell some young people of Revelstoke about her. Bye Mom. I love you. Bob Loepkky, Revelstoke

Revelstoke Review n Wednesday, June 17, 2015 n 7

OPINION

Understanding self-harm – “Why is my child doing this?” MENTAL HEALTH

Dr. David Smith

"Why would my daughter do this?" That is what bewildered parents plead to me and other mental health professionals in BC too often these days. The youth — often but not always— is a female between ages 10 and 19 who is being treated for one of a variety of forms of self harm. Self-harm exists along a spectrum anywhere from self-injuries such as cutting herself with a sharp object, repeatedly hitting herself, or burning herself, or sometimes even poisoning herself with medications or noxious substances. In the last five years, children and youth rates for hospitalization and ER visits for self-harm have soared. This past November a special Canadian study on self-harm found that since 2009 self-harm hospitalization rates for girls have increased by more than 110 per cent and ER visits by 98 per cent. While hospitalization rates for self harm were four times more common among girls, rates among boys had also increased substantially in the study. What is going on? While good research about self harm is just emerging, my mental health colleagues and I believe some reasons may be worth further investigation : feelings of disconnection among youth from loved ones and from themselves; youth feeling insignificant and unworthy; the dominant 24/7 online culture that magnifies bullying and social pressure and ramps up stress; and the normalization of self harm that youth find via the Internet. As well, self-harm, rather than being hidden or dismissed as in the past, is now being more recognized. At the heart of most self harm is usually psychological pain and a disordered way of coping with unbearable feelings or an inability to regulate emotional responses under stressful situations (somewhat similar to various addictions or eating disorders). Youth will often tell me that only way to relieve their emotional pain is by hurting themselves. Sometimes it is the lack of feeling that compels them to self harm. Youth will say they feel empty, numb, as if they don't exist: "Feeling the pain feels better than feeling nothing at all." For others, it gives a sense of control , that rather than being the victim of others inflicting pain on them, they are the ones controlling their own pain. While self-harm occurs among BC youth from all sectors of society, it is more common among registration preferred or youth who are socially or economically disad-

eciated

vantaged; who have past trauma, neglect or abuse; who have other diagnosed mental health conditions or other illnesses; and who have uncertainty about their sexual orientation or who have recently come out in the youth LGBQT community. While self-injury such as cutting and burning is usually distinct from direct suicidal behaviour, youth who self-harm in these ways are many times more likely than the general population to eventually complete suicide. So it is very important that the youth gets effective help. I am particularly concerned that self harm in the form of ingesting poison — taking high doses of over -the- counter medication, prescription medication or ingesting a noxious substance —often represents a true suicide attempt in youth. Parents and health professionals must take poisoning actions very seriously and ensure the youth gets appropriate, urgent help through emergency services. In non-urgent self-harm situations, the first step is to see your family doctor or contact the Child and Youth Mental Health program provided by the Ministry of Children and Family Development in your region. Call Service BC at 1-800-661-8773 for the MCFD office nearest to you. Good information and support can be found through links at the Canadian Mental Health Association (cmha.ca ), the Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre (keltyresources.ca) and heretohelp.bc.ca. As well , an excellent resource is the website for the National Interdisciplinary Network on Self-Harm , led by Dr. Mary Kay Nixon, a Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist in Victoria (insync-group.ca). Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying issues that are causing the pain and teaching the youth more effective coping skills and stress reduction techniques. Cognitive behavioural therapy, group therapy, and dialectic behavioural therapy can be very helpful for these skills. Medications may be given if co-existing depression, anxiety or psychosis are part of the underlying issues. Adults — parents, relatives, teachers, coaches, mentors— have a very important role in helping to support the youth to increase the youth's feelings of connection. Teaching youth healthy ways to express feelings of pain and anger, and new ways to cope with life's stresses can also help youth leave self harm behind. Dr. David Smith is an adolescent and adult psychiatrist 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 across BC to increase the number of children, youth, and their families receiving timely access to mental health services. The Collaborative is jointly funded by Doctors of BC and the government of BC.

The Mountain Paradise Show & Shine was once again a big success. About 100 classic vehicles lined the streets of downtown, and hundreds, if not thousands, came out to wander about, take pictures and talk cars. There was a spattering of rain, but not enough to get people to close their convertibles. ~ Photos by Alex Cooper, Revelstoke Review

How do you want to live your life when you grow older? STEPHANIE MELNYK

Coordinator, Revelstoke CRN Imagine you are a happy, healthy parent with school-aged kids. Your life is very busy caring for your family, looking after your home, going to work and finding time to go biking or have a coffee with a friend. Now imagine 30 or 40 years have passed. You finally have the time to do all the things you wanted but now need help to enjoy your life fully. Your kids are adults and living lives of their own, your spouse has passed away and you have had some health issues. Taking care of your home, large shopping trips and travelling require help from others. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that as we age, we require

more support in order to live our lives in the way that we want. As a result, we become more dependent on others, which increases our risk for abuse. The word â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;abuseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brings to mind the most serious examples, but something as common as being an adult who is told what to do against their will still constitutes abuse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Older adults in our communities continue to find themselves in vulnerable situations and experience various forms of abuse and neglect,â&#x20AC;? says Sherry Baker, Executive Director of the BC Association of Community Response Networks. According to the Ministry of Health, up to 10 per cent of seniors in B.C. will experience some form of physical, emotional, financial or sexual

abuse. It is believed that this statistic is actually higher since the abuse of seniors is significantly under reported. The problem is not unique to British Columbia or to Canada. In 2006, the United Nations officially proclaimed June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. It is well-recognized that the abuse of older adults is a multi-dimensional problem. It is an issue of family violence, an intergenerational concern, a health problem, a justice problem and a human rights issue. According to the United Nations, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the world needs a global response to the problem. One that focuses on protecting the rights of older adults.â&#x20AC;? Accordingly, Community Response Networks (CRNs) across B.C.

are focusing on the rights of older people, including the right to dignity, privacy, freedom and the pursuit of happiness in old age. The Revelstoke CRN has been working to end abuse and neglect of all adults, not just of seniors, since 2004. We are encouraging the community to recognize this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Elder Abuse Awareness Day by asking â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do I want to be treated as I age?â&#x20AC;? Then, ask the same of older adults in your life and work with them to make it a reality. For more information about World Elder Abuse Awareness Day or the BC Association of CRNs, visit www.bccrns.ca or contact Interior Health at 250-837-2131 x204.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has released its report for 2014. The scientiďŹ c consensus of that report is clear and overwhelming. Climate change is now set to have a severe, widespread impact on people and nature. Our grandchildren face very uncertain futures. As elders in our society, we, the undersigned, present this petition. Its message is simple. We are concerned about our grandchildren. We call for immediate, effective action to reduce Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greenhouse gas emissions. We encourage grandparents across the land to speak up for their grandchildren, and to vote for politicians committed to making Canada a leader in the struggle to limit global climate change. ,Q OLJKW RI WKH FRPLQJ IHGHUDO HOHFWLRQ ZH DUH VHQGLQJ WKLV SHWLWLRQ WR HDFK RI WKH IHGHUDO SROLWLFDO SDUWLHV DQG ZH UHTXHVW WKHLU XQHTXLYRFDO UHVSRQVH LGHQWLI\LQJ FOLPDWH DFWLRQ SROLFLHV WKH\ ZRXOG LPSOHPHQW :H XUJH \RX RXU IHOORZ %ULWLVK &ROXPELDQV WR WDNH XS WKH FDXVH RI JUHHQKRXVH JDV UHGXFWLRQ

Seven medals for Revelstoke at trampoline westerns JEF KLINE

Revelstoke Acrobats This weekend Port Moody, B.C., played host to the Western Canada Cup. The best provincial level trampoline and tumbling athletes from the four western provinces competed. Revelstoke had the best showing in years at this event, with seven medals won. The club only sent six athletes to this great event. Three athletes won their events and were crowned Western Canadian Champion. Summer Novakowski rocked a first place in the Level 1 U11 double-mini category with some perfect stuck landings. She also did well taking the bronze medal in her Level 2 trampoline competition. Devyn Gale had an amazingly strong showing during the Level 1 12-year-old trampoline preliminary round and was then able to maintain her lead, earning the top spot in

the tough competition final. Kayln Gale performed a superb routine in the finals, coming from behind to place on top of the podium. Parker English's hard work in practice paid off and earned her two medals this weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a silver in trampoline and a bronze in the double-mini trampoline event. Isabella Mendonca got to wear a silver medal around her neck because of her focus on her good sharp routines. Revelstoke athlete Josh Winger was representing the province as part of TEAM BC. He moved up to pre-national Level 4 double-mini trampoline for this event and placed fifth. He is now working hard training for nationals in July. This was an absolutely fantastic way to end the season for the provincial level athletes of the Revelestoke Acrobats. They all improved so much this year and the coaching staff is looking forward to building an even stronger team for next year.

Larry was born in Revelstoke, B.C. on July 6, 1946 and had been a life-long resident. He was a longtime member of the Revelstoke Rod & Gun Club as well as the Black Powder Club. Larry enjoyed hunting, fishing and trapping. He especially loved to be outdoors. Larry was predeceased by his parents, Tony & Lil Caponero and one son Glen Caponero.

With our heartfelt sadness we announce the passing of Vi at her home after a courageous battle with failing health. Vi is lovingly remembered and survived by her husband Ernie of 59 years, her son Bob (Wendy), her daughter Tammie (Rick) and two grandchildren Andy and Jenny Kermack, all of Revelstoke.

Vi loved sports: she golfed, bowled in many leagues, played softball and coached Ladies softball and a young girls league. When Ernie became involved in the Loggers Sports events, Vi showed full support and had the truck and camper ready every Friday so when Ernie got home from work they were ready to go. There was always time to visit family to stay for the weekend, go camping, fishing and berry picking. In retirement Vi and Ernie enjoyed summers at Slocan Lake â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Valhalla â&#x20AC;&#x201C; spending time with family and their new Valhalla friends, playing with her grandkids, boating, playing card games and various other games and walks in the evening. As Viâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health declined further, she loved to do cross word puzzles and other magazine puzzles. Vi did have battles with health for many years, but always kept a positive attitude. Vi was a very strong women. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 202 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1835 Gordon Drive, Kelowna, B.C.

Alana Madill On June 5, 2015, sadly Alana Madill, our beautiful and inspirational daughter, partner, sister, mother, auntie, niece, cousin and friend suddenly passed away. Alana, her partner Jerry Collins and their daughter Ayla Ruth Collins were involved in a tragic car accident in France where Ayla was the only survivor. Alana was born on April 24, 1980, to Ruth (Ahenakew) and Darrell Madill and grew up throughout Canada. This was the beginning of her love to travel, which enabled her to meet and touch the lives of so many people. Alana loved her family and friends with all her being, especially her nephew Jaydon and nieces Danika and Daya who cherished each and every visit with their Auntie Yaya. They will forever miss her. While living in Grand Prairie, Alana met and captured the heart of Jerry Collins and he hers. Alana told Ruth and Darrell that she had met her match and on March 26, 2015, Alana and Jerry's true inspiration was born, Ayla. Motherhood became Alana and it was a true wonderment to watch Alana with Ayla. The family of three was perfect. Alana was often described as a free spirit because of her calmness, huge heart, and ability to pick up and travel or move anywhere with a huge smile; she was always up for an adventure! Alana was predeceased by her grandparents Grace (Bear) and Lance Ahenakew and Howard Madill. Alana will be terribly missed by her daughter Ayla Collins, parents Ruth and Darrell Madill, sisters Nora Madill (Ryan Dureau) and Brenna Smith (Curtis Smith) and brother Lance Madill. Auntie Yaya will forever hold a special place in the young hearts of her nephew Jaydon Dureau and nieces Danika Dureau and Daya Smith. As well as all her friends and those who knew her. Ayla is currently hospitalized and receiving care in France and due to this, Alana's service will be held at a later date which will be communicated by immediate family members. In lieu of flowers, family and friends may make donations in memory of Alana and Jerry to a trust fund that has been set up for Ayla C/O BMO Albert Street North, Regina, SK, Account #06758-001-3953-962.

Highway, from page 1 “Our number one concern is preservation of human life and injuries,” he said. “We’re still looking forward to the day we have a four-lane Trans-Canada Highway, but I think that today we are fortunate we have minister and provincial government that understands the direction we have to go.” Stone was asked afterwards about efforts to reduce the length of closures following accidents, which can last for up to 10 hours in the case of a fatality. He said they have advertised twice to hire a coroner in Revelstoke but haven’t found a suitable candidate. He also said they were working with the RCMP to figure out ways to keep traffic moving if an accident is declared a crime scene. Norm Macdonald, the MLA for Columbia River-Revelstoke, criticized the announcement, saying the announcement was a distraction from the government’s lack of action on four-laning the highway. “Minister Stone is coming into Revelstoke, bringing in dignitaries for a photo op, but what the people of Revelstoke and

School records fall at high school track championships ANDY PFEIFFER

Revelstoke Secondary School Twenty-eight members of the Revelstoke Secondary School track and field team competed in the BC High School Provincial Track and Field Championships in Langley from June 4–6. Faced with their stiffest competition all season, RSS athletes managed four top eight finishes and several school-record breaking performances in the stifling heat at Macleod Athletic Park. Grade 12 Jacqueline Cottingham put a bow on her five years of work in track and field by cracking the top eight twice at the provincials. After jumping 150 centimetres to take seventh in the high jump, Jacqueline ran a best-ever, RSS School record of 1:00.41 in the sr. Girls 400 metres, good enough for a spot in the final where she finished in eighth place in the province. Although this was

UNDERSTANDING is more than just hearing

Hearing is only the first step in gaining back your confidence in social situations. With Oticon Nera 2 Pro, you can now take an active part in any conversation. Its unique technology allows you to make intuitive sense of your surroundings, even in situations where many sounds compete for your attention. Oticon Nera 2 Pro takes the hard work out of making sense of the sounds around you, leaving you to just enjoy the moment.

the last track meet of the year, Jacqueline plans to continue with the sport at the University of Calgary next year, where she will study engineering. The best singular performance of the team belonged to big Jacob Ancell, who finished in sixth place in the grade eight boys shotput with a put of 11.02 metres. Another grade eight thrower, Aleks Klassen, also was able to crack the top eight. Klassen’s mark of 34.02 metres in the javelin was good enough for seventh place in the province. Earlier, he missed out on the finals in the 400 metres by 1/100th of a second, finishing in ninth place with a new school record time of 58.06 seconds. Maxine Opatril broke Brittany Evans’s school record in the sr. girls 800-metre run. After a disappointing 1500 metres the day before, Opratril ran strongly throughout her 800-metre race and finished with a 2:28.73. The junior girls 4X400 metre relay team of Megan Cottingham, Elizabeth Elliott, Alexis Welch, and Alana Brittin also got their name on the RSS record board with an inspiring 4:25.23 in their race. Most athletes peaked at the right time and left Langley with personal bests and season’s best results. In the final race of the meet, Hayden Mallet’s performance in the 3000 metre exemplified RSS track and field. With every one of his teammates chanting his name, Hayden ran his personal best by more than 20 seconds in the gruelling 7.5lap race in 30 degree heat. The team then ran onto the field and flooded him with high fives. After winning several North Zone and Okanagan Valley pennants this year, the RSS track season comes to a close. With key grade 12s leaving for university next year, grade eight athletes such as the speedy Riley Wallach are ready to take the baton and run with it. Complete Revelstoke Secondary School results from the meet can be found on the Review website.
