Grizzlies swept from playoffs ALEX COOPER

modifications to the Mutas Road intersection that would, most notably, eliminate left turns out of the McDonald’s loop and into the Shell station. The open house will be the first opportunity for the public to get a look at and provide feedback on the proposed designs for improving the troubled intersection. It has grown increasingly problematic in recent years as traffic into town has increased. The city and local businesses have had to
The Revelstoke Grizzlies were swept out of the playoffs on Sunday, losing their first round series to the 100 Mile House Wranglers in four games. “That’s three years that just ended tonight,” said captain Kenny Batke. “I can’t say I’m disappointed because everyone worked hard, but to see it come to an end in one night is never easy.” Revelstoke went into the playoffs as underdogs against the division winners from 100 Mile, who iced a bigger and more experience team. They travelled to 100 Mile House last Tuesday, Feb. 23, ahead of game one on Wednesday. The teams traded goals in the first period, with Ryan Friesen scoring for 100 Mile and Kyle Berry evening things up for Revelstoke. Stephen Egan put 100 Mile up 2-1 with a goal midway through the second and Michael Lynch added to the Wranglers lead four minutes into the third. Brady Mende led the Grizzlies comeback, scoring twice in the third, including the tying goal with 22 seconds left to send the game to overtime. Justin Bond scored the game winner in overtime, giving 100 Mile the win. “Game one could have went either way,” said coach Ryan Parent. “You saw two evenly matched teams.” That even match up was skewed in game two on Thursday, when the Wranglers trampled on the Grizzlies penalty killing, scoring five power play goals in 11 chance on their way to a 9-4 win. The teams traded goals in the first, with Michael Lynch scoring for the Wranglers and Aaron Aragon netting a power play goal for Revelstoke.

Plans presented for highway intersection ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The proposed design for the Trans-Canada Highway intersection upgrade will include roundabouts and some left turn restrictions, according to drawings provided to the Review. “There’s changes, but I think for most drivers the changes will be fairly favourable, fairly easy to navigate,” said Mike Thomas, the City of Revelstoke’s director of engineering.
An open house on the preliminary design plans for Revelstoke’s beleaguered Trans-Canada Highway intersection will take place at the community centre on Wednesday, March 2, at 7:30 p.m. The intersection is home to McDonald’s, A&W, Shell, Tim Horton’s, & Super 8 Motel, and is soon to be home to a Petro Canada and Starbucks. The proposal includes roundabouts at Victoria Road and Wright Street, and Laforme Boulevard and Fraser Drive (the turn-off to the Chevron). It also includes

City declines acquiring Mount Begbie Elementary gym
run. They're doing it now with the old police station." Council, for its part, asked staff to look at ways to accommodate the boxing club in the city's existing facilities. "I don’t want to get bogged down in engineering reports and costs and all that stuff, but I would like to know how we accommodate these user groups – they're important to our community – and make sure we support them," said coun. Connie Brothers.
ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Revelstoke council turned down an offer from the Revelstoke School District to acquire the Mount Begbie Elementary gymnasium. "I can easily say I do not think it is in the city’s best interest to acquire another building at this time when we have a lot of buildings that are breaking down like the golf course and the storage building by the rec centre," said councillor Scott Duke, during discussion by council last Tuesday, Feb. 23. Council followed a staff recommendation to decline the offer of the gym. Dean Strachan, the city's manager of development services, told council, the gym was not part of the city's park's plan. "It's not a facility we have targeted for city use for at this point in time," he said. All six councillors agreed with the recommendation from the planning department, while Mayor Mark McKee said he'd like to get more details on the cost of running the facility before making a decision. "Has anyone gone and looked at what could be options and costs for us?" he said. "I would like to know is it free, how much is it going to cost, how big a deal would the services be that may or may not be there, what are operating costs, what's an estimate of the usage?" Aaron Orlando, who chairs the parks, recreation & culture committee, said he was ambivalent about the decision. "We don’t have this accounted for. So far as my understanding of the planning process, you can't just take on something on because it's all of a sudden there. You should be very wary," he said. "That would require a study because we don't know what we're getting into. It's built in 1993. We don't know what shape it's in." The school district plans to demolish the school, but offered the city the chance to take over the gym before it does so. The gym at Mount Begbie Elementary is said to be in generally good condition. Mike Hooker, the superintendent of the school district, told the Review it costs about $6,000 per year to provide heat and electricity to the gym. He said the mechanical systems are in place for the gym to stand alone. The move has upset Sam Lerose, the head of the 60-member Revelstoke Boxing Club, which operates out of the gym.
CITY ASKS FOR PARK LAND ON SITE
The Revelstoke School District is looking at options for re-zoning the Mount Begbie Elementary site. The City of Revelstoke declined an offer to acquire the gym building. ~ Image from the Revelstoke School District "Council made a hasty decision without knowing all of the facts," he said following the meeting. "That gym can stand alone at minimal cost." The Review raised questions around the decision. Notably, the city's Parks, Recreation & Culture Master Plan calls for the city to "Investigate Feasibility of developing Mountain View School as a community arts facility and the opportunities for future community use of Mt. Begbie and Farwell schools." We asked what kind of investigation was done. It appears only a high-level discussion took place and detailed costs of maintaining the facility were never looked at. In an interview, Strachan said the recommendation to decline the acquisition of the gym came from the parks department. "(Laurie Donato) provided the recommendation that we not take the Mount Begbie School," he said. "From a land use perspective, our recommendation was that. council supported the recommendation." Donato said the issue was discussed by the parks & recreation committee, and that

concerns were raised about the costs associated with taking over the gymnasium, and the need for another facility. "Some of the concerns were the age of the structure, not having any current information on the condition of the building, the cost to maintain, and whether there was the demand for use of that facility," she said. "Those were some of the things we had highlevel discussion on because we didn't have a lot of information at the table at the time." Donato said that while the gym might be in good shape now, it would represent a long-term cost for the city at the same time they're looking at major work on the Forum and at Williamson's Lake. "How do we prioritize this into that?" she said. Lerose said he would be starting a petition asking for council to reconsider its decision. He said he would be approaching other community groups about sharing the gym. "There's no reason why the city can't do it in conjunction with some groups," he said. "The cheapest way is for the city to take it over and lease it out for a society to
The decision on the gym wasn't the only one discussed by council. They also passed a recommendation that the school district preserve some parkland on the Mount Begbie Elementary site, and that it seek community input on the location and size of the park. The school district presented numerous plans for re-developing the site, ranging from large single family lots, to multi-family development. Dean Strachan said several options were rejected outright. In response to questions from council, he said any development that involves driveways or laneways opening up onto Fourth Street were non-starters. "We don’t want to see direct access to the main roadway, to Fourth Street," he said. "It's a busy roadway and it's only going to get busier." He also suggested having higher density along Fourth Street would be more acceptable. "The use or acceptability of noise and traffic rises with density," he said. "If you can move forward with multi-family development on Fourth Street, it's more receptive by those purchasers there would be a busy roadway out front." Mike Hooker said the school district would be hosting an open house to seek input on re-development of the site. They are looking at getting it re-zoned before seeking to sell the property. The school district is expected to earn $2.4 million from the sale of the old Big Eddy, Mountain View and Mount Begbie school sites. Sub-division of the Big Eddy site is on hold until at least 2018 while the city deals with water issues in the area. The school district is working on a re-zoning application for the Mountain View site to make it more appealing for developers.
Capsule Comments With David Lafreniere This is the 119th anniversary of the discovery of Aspirin® (ASA). The original source of the drug, salicylic acid, was the bark of the willow tree, known and used by the Sumerians about 5000 years ago. Salicylic acid was isolated from this bark in 1763 but it was too irritating to the stomach. Finally, in 1897, the Bayer company in Germany patented acetylsalicylic acid and the rest is history.

Council delays budget vote in order to consider chamber comments ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com Revelstoke council delayed a vote on the city's 2016 budget, instead opting to hold another special budget session so it could weigh in comments from the Chamber of Commerce first. Council was scheduled to give first, second and third readings to the 2016–20 financial plan last Tuesday, Feb. 23, but instead voted almost unanimously to delay the readings in order to consider comments from the public — notably the Chamber of Commerce. "I was a little surprised this was coming up today," said councillor Connie Brothers during discussion. "There has been comments made by the chamber. They put a lot of time and energy and work into this… I think its incumbent on us to take a look at it." Her comments were echoed by other councillors and Mayor Mark McKee. "If there’s an appetite to wait for two weeks and take a look at some of the comments, I think there’s an opportunity to do that," said councillor Aaron Orlando. Only councillor Linda Nixon voted to give the budget first three readings. "This work has been ongoing since August, it’s been before council, we’ve worked at this table," she said. "I think this budget needs to go through as it is. We have had six months to sit here and decide what we’re going to cut. We didn’t cut and we added services." The city scheduled a final special budget meeting for Monday, Feb. 29, at 1 p.m., after press time. The chamber was scheduled to make a presentation at the meeting. Check the Review website for a report on the special budget meeting. Council has until May 15 to pass the financial plan. It initially hoped to do so by the end of 2015. Allan Chabot, the city's chief administrative officer, told council that if substantial changes were made to the plan, it would have to go back to the public for comment. Council also received a letter from architect Eileen Fletcher asking the city to fund moves that would help protect the city's heritage assets. Council put forward a $21.7 million budget to the public at the end of January. It includes a two per cent tax increase for residents and one per cent tax increase for businesses.
Looking at past years' budget processes, in 2014, council held a special meeting to consider feedback before adopting the financial plan. Last year, when the budget process was delayed due to a new council coming onboard following the election, council gave three readings to the budget on the same day it received public feedback.
CHAMBER MAKES FIVE RECOMMENDATIONS The Chamber of Commerce made five recommendations in its response to the 2016–20 financial plan: — Begin the budget process in August 1 of each year; — Create a 10 year plan for infrastructure and asset management; — Provide clear and consistent financial data and statements; — Conduct an independent core review of city hall; — Improve the fairness of the business tax burden. Some of the recommendations are already in place. Councillors began the budget process in committees in August of 2015, though the first full draft of the budget wasn't presented to council until October 13, and a final plan wasn't sent to the public until late January. As well, the city's engineering department is working on an asset management plan. On the third recommendation, the chamber says the city should make available "clear, easy to read financial information including a simple breakdown of taxation, grant and fee revenues and expenses expressed on a consistent basis over time." The information should also show the breakdown of property taxes and where the money goes. The chamber recommends allocating money for a core review that would look at all policies, service levels, staffing and salary levels. Finally, the chamber continues to advocate for reducing the tax ratio between businesses and residents. Currently, the mill rate on businesses is 3.84 times that of the rate on residential properties. The chamber says the ratio should be reduced to 2:1 by 2020 and it has presented a plan to do so that would involve reducing taxes on businesses while raising taxes on residences slightly faster than proposed.
Input sought on hotel height ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The City of Revelstoke is seeking input on a proposed 5.5-storey hotel in the Farwell neighbourhood. Council agreed to move towards the public input stage on a development variance permit application made by the Revelstoke Land & Development Corporation (RLDC). "The public process is to receive written submissions from now until the next council meeting," Dean Strachan, the city's manager of development services, told council, adding that staff would be going door-to-door with letters to all residents and businesses within 100 metres of the property. RLDC seeks permission to build a 5.5-storey, 26-metre high hotel on the vacant lot at the intersection of First Street and Wright Street. The existing zoning permits a 2.5-storey, 10.5-metre height maximum. Strachan explained the plan is to have the hotel located at the northeast corner of the prop-
erty, with the rest of the property set aside for parking. He said the location of the hotel would prevent shading of properties on Second Street, but would create afternoon shading for the Gateway Motel across the street. Councillor Aaron Orlando asked Strachan if there would be a public information session. Strachan replied that anyone with questions is welcome to call or visit him at city hall. There is likely to be mixed reaction to the application when council considers it next. The first letter they were presented with said 5.5 storeys was "too high for the neighbourhood." "Three stories would be the maximum without wrecking the cityscape of Farwell," wrote Lisa Pettenuzzo in a letter to council. She also expressed concern about the possible increase in foot traffic through the neighbourhood. In a letter to council, Fred Beruschi, who is one of the owners of RLDC, wrote the extra height was needed to accommodate the proposed 68unit hotel. RLDC owns the Regent Hotel and Best Western Plus.

Council supports craft distillery ALEX COOPER
Gareth Jones speaks to council about his distillery proposal. ~ Photo by Alex Cooper, Revelstoke Review
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com A proposal to operate a craft distillery in the Mount Begbie Brewery facility on First Street moved one step closer to fruition on Tuesday. Council gave third reading to the distillery proposal following an uneventful public hearing. Gareth Jones, of Jones Distilling, applied to turn the brewery into a distillery — once Mt. Begbie moves into their new facility in Johnson Heights. "I want to make a small amount of very high quality product," Jones told council. "I’m concentrating on vodka, gin and whiskey.” He said the distillery would be both a producer of premium alcohol and would serve as a tourist draw. Jones said the distillery would include a tasting bar, and that he hopes to eventually add a restaurant to the operation. "It’s designed to be a high-end product and a tourist attraction to the town," he said. The bylaw to add distillery use to the building passed third reading unanimously. Jones initially proposed to build a craft distillery in Salmon Arm, however a deal for a site fell through. “I’m looking at other options for locations in both places, looking to find the right fit, but there will only be one location,” Jones told the Salmon Arm Observer. “I’m pretty gutted about the thing falling through, but I’m still moving ahead. I just need to find the right fit.” With a report from the Salmon Arm Observer
Missing snowboarder found after 28 hours in RMR backcountry ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com A missing snowboarder was found after spending more than day in the backcountry outside the boundaries Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Chirag Patel, 36, was found by a ski patroller on a run at Revelstoke Mountain Resort on Tuesday, Feb. 23, at around 4:30 p.m., after spending 28 hours in the backcountry. RCMP say the Ontario man was reported missing on Monday at around 9 p.m. after he didn't return from the ski resort that day. He was last heard from around noon, and his friends reported he may have gone skiing out of bounds, without any food, water or emergency gear. Revelstoke Search & Rescue mounted a search of the Montana Creek drainage by air and ground on Tuesday at 7 a.m. They were able to locate Patel's snowboard, but couldn't find the man him-
self. Finally, at around 4:30 p.m., the ski patroller found Patel inside the resort boundaries without his snowboard. He was unharmed. "The Revelstoke RCMP wish to thank the massive efforts made by Revelstoke Search and Rescue, Revelstoke Mountain Resort, and the pilot and team from Arrow Helicopters who searched for Mr. Patel throughout the day, and through very risky conditions," wrote Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky in a news release. "It is through many hours of volunteer efforts that users of the backcountry are frequently saved. These people risk their lives to assist others." Grabinsky went on to remind backcountry users to be prepared for any conditions, have the proper safety equipment, appropriate training, travel in groups and to notify people of travel plans in case something goes wrong.
BC Hydro applies to raise rates by 4% STAFF WRITER BC Hydro applied Friday for an electricity rate increase of four per cent, starting April 1. The utility said that would mean an extra four dollars a month for the average residential customer. CEO Jessica McDonald said staff applied to the B.C. Utilities Commission to hike the rate for the next fiscal year because they need more time to update their forecasts in light of “recent events in the mining and LNG sectors.” BC Hydro had planned to make a three-year rate application using government-mandated rate caps
of four per cent this year, 3.5 per cent next year and three per cent in the following year. McDonald said the next two years will still be within the government-directed caps, part of a 10-year rate plan that will turn the setting of rates back to the BCUC by 2020. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett recently announced a deferral program for mines, allowing them to put off paying their electricity bills to keep operating with low prices for metals and coal. BC Hydro said it expects to continue to see an overall increase in demand for the next couple of decades.

Parliament started up again on Jan. 25, so I have once again been dividing my time between Kootenay–Columbia and Ottawa. One of the concerns that many of you have expressed is the lack of decorum in Parliament, particularly during daily question period, which at times can be rude and disrespectful, setting a very poor example of how democracy should work. I share this concern but I am encouraged by the work being done by the new speaker of the House of Commons to change the atmosphere in parliament. I encourage him every chance I get to continue this important work. Here are just a few of many statements made by speaker Geoff Regan to address parliamentary decorum: • “Let us listen up so we can get through this. Let us all pay attention and show respect for each other.” • “Order please colleagues, we are going to hear things that are provocative. Sometimes it is hard not to react, but I know we can do it. Let us restrain ourselves.” • “I know we want to have more and more women parliamentarians in the House of Commons and it is important
that we have a workplace that is civilized, so let’s ensure it is not like a 1950s old boys club in here.” • “After the member asks his question, he might remind the gentleman in front of him that this is not the Muppets.” Needless to say, this is a work in progress. The spring parliamentary session continues until June 23, with a total of seven weeks back in Kootenay-Columbia before the summer break. I am looking forward to hearing more from my constituents in the coming months, as I travel around our riding. You can always contact my office with any concerns about federal issues by calling 250-417-2250 or by emailing us at wayne.stetski@parl.gc.ca. We will be officially opening our community offices in the coming weeks. The grand opening for our Cranbrook office will be Feb. 29.

Check waynestetski.ndp.ca for details about these and other upcoming events in our community. A number of constituents have asked what I can do to help them as a member of parliament in an opposition party. The answer is quite a lot. IN OUR COMMUNITY: I have great staff in my offices in Cranbrook, Nelson and Ottawa, who are here to help constituents resolve issues with federal programs and services. They have access to information and contacts within the federal government who can provide information on topics ranging from citizenship to Employment Insurance to income taxes. We can also provide you with current information on grant opportunities, tax tips and new pieces of
legislation. You can learn more about the services we provide on the “Service Desk” section of our website. I can also write letters of support to ministers regarding constituents’ interests and projects. Both in the riding and in Ottawa, I meet with delegations from many stakeholder groups like the BC Dairy Farmers, the BC Building Trades, the Canadian Federation of Students and health action groups, who share concerns about issues relevant to our riding. IN THE HOUSE: In Ottawa, I can raise constituents’ concerns directly with government ministers. I recently walked across the floor of the house to discuss an issue on behalf of the Ktunaxa with the Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs. I also have the opportunity to hold the government accountable by asking questions in question period, speaking in the house, and presenting petitions signed by constituents. In early February, I presented a petition signed by 700 constituents in favour of proportional representation. As a party, the NDP submits motions for debate in the house on opposition days. The first NDP motion was debated two weeks ago. I was very proud of our party for putting forward a motion to set up an all-party committee to determine a way forward to end pay inequity for women in Canada. The motion was supported by all but the Conservative party, which means that the special committee will be formed in the near future. Wayne Stetski is the MP for KootenayColumbia. He will be contributing a column about once a month.

Evaporative dry eye: inflammation of glands causes poor quality of the lipid layer and leads to your tears evaporating too quickly Aqueous deficient dry eye produces symptoms of dryness, gritty eyes or feeling of a foreign body in the eye. Treatment options include lubricating eye drops and Omega 3’s. Evaporative dry eye causes an increase in tear production to compensate for the fast evaporation of the tears leading to tearing & watering eyes. The best treatment options include hot compresses, and expression of the glands. There are also specific lubricating eye drops that can help. Be cautious of over the counter drops containing potassium chloride and tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride. These highly advertised drops for dry eye contain ingredients that constrict blood vessels to reduce the appearance of redness; long term use can cause rebound dilation of the blood vessels and prolonged red eyes. The best over the counter eye drops contain ingredients such as carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, hyaluronic acid, or polyethylene glycol. These ingredients help to lubricate the eyes surface and produce better quality tears in the long term. Book an appointment to see us about your dry eye issues and discuss what management plan is best tailored to the underlying cause of your symptoms. And remember to always seek professional advice when choosing an over-the-counter eye drop.

IMOGEN WHALE
Special to the Review “Every time I create a piece the process is different,” explains Simone Orlando, the Artistic Director and CEO of Ballet Kelowna, the only professional dance company in interior BC. “Sometimes the music is what inspires the dance.” Such is the case with her piece Shades of Cash, inspired by the music of Johnny Cash. Her decision to create the piece was kickstarted when Orlando and her mother were stranded in Merritt, BC on a karaoke night. “The original version of the dance actually features a dancer singing Ring Of Fire karaoke style,” Orlando says. Revelstoke residents will have a chance to see Ballet Kelowna dancers perform a remounted Shades of Cash in the upcoming Boundless performance on Thursday, March 3rd at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre. There will also be a new take on the classic Romeo and Juliet balcony scene by choreographer Joshua Beamish, and the premiere of Glass, created by renounced choreographer Matjash Mrozewski and composer Owen Belton. Glass features youth from the Okanagan. “99 per cent of ballet choreographers are dancers because ballet dance requires specific techniques that take years of practice to understand,” she explains. Orlando enjoys using those techniques as a launching pad to create what she describes as her own ‘movement vocabulary.’ She believes embracing other dance styles can lend more texture and movement to her choreography. “There is ballet influence and hip hop and urban influence in Shades of Cash. I think it makes the piece meatier.” Regardless of what inspires Orlando to create,
she is constantly collaborating. “Part of this means allowing dancers to be given a task with regards to a movement and then seeing where that direction takes them. It allows for more exploration. This encourages dancers to become invested in the process and their personalities show through.” A retired professional ballet dancer, Orlando danced with the National Ballet of Canada and Ballet BC. “As a dancer, it’s nice to be seen as more than a passive tool that pumps out routines like a machine,” she laughs. While Orlando loves the classics, her willingness to engage and collaborate means several works being performed by Ballet Kelowna are fresh and contemporary. “Of course, the audience wants to be moved and transported and leave real world experiences behind,” she says. “But dance should also be a reflection of where we are as a society today and challenge audiences’ thoughts on the future.” Since Ballet Kelowna commissioned her first dance piece in 2005, Orlando has won the prestigious Clifford E. Lee award for choreography from the Banff Centre, completed a fellowship at the New York Choreographic Institute (associated with the famed New York City Ballet) had several commissioned works, retired from dance, and graduated from BCIT in Business Management. Orlando hopes the audience appreciates how ballet is still a relevant art form. “There is room for new takes on classical pieces. Urban and hip hop elements can lend themselves to new contemporary pieces with themes relevant to youth today,” she says. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for children available at ArtFirst, the Revelstoke Visitors Centre or through the Revelstoke Arts Council website.

Intersection, from page 1 hire people to direct traffic on busy summer weekends. Thomas said there will be one proposal presented at the open house. “We did look at a couple of options but as we went through the process, we ruled them out either form a ministry perspective or a space a perspective, or the traffic wasn’t going to improved with doing certain things," Thomas said. A second meeting involving the businesses that will be directly impacted and other stakeholders such as the Ministry of Transportation is also being held. “We wanted to make sure the immediately effected stakeholders have a chance to review it,” said Thomas. “The idea is to present it, get feedback from the stakeholders and the public, let council have a look at it as well and see what the overall perspective from the community is on these proposed changes. In November, the city hired McElhanney Consulting Services to prepare design options for the intersection, and manage the construction, which is expected to take place this fall. “The concept has been developed by McElhanney with input from city and ministry staff,” said Thomas. “As you know, it’s a challenging intersection.” Thomas said they’re seeking to keep through traffic to Columbia Park flowing, while also making it easier for drivers coming of the highway to make it through the intersection. One thing they are trying to do is stop traffic from crossing Victoria Road from the McDonald’s loop to the Shell station. The budget for the project in the 2016-20 Financial Plan is $1.1 million.

CSRD politicians united on Trans-Canada upgrades BARB BROUWER
Black Press When it comes to the Trans-Canada Highway, politicians throughout the Columbia Shuswap Regional District are on the same page. Appearing at the regional district board meeting on Thursday, Feb. 18, Salmon Arm councillor Kevin Flynn said Mayor Nancy Cooper had requested a regional letter be sent to Ottawa asking that funding for TCH improvements be included in the 2016 federal budget. Flynn said members of council met to discuss priorities with North Okanagan– Shuswap MP Mel Arnold. “He said it would be helpful if a regional focus would be sent, particularly if it’s about continued improvements to the TCH – to have a collaborative approach and focus on a few issues,” said Flynn, who noted infrastructure funding requests within
the municipality were for TCH and sewer issues. “We kept it very simple and, as a region, I think we need to focus on the TCH.” CSRD chair and Electoral Area E director Rhona Martin said the importance of the Trans-Canada Highway to the entire region has been iterated at the regional district board many times. Revelstoke Mayor Mark McKee thanked Salmon Arm for bringing the issue to the board. “Everybody has a pet peeve or project in their area… I like to talk about where there are critical road issues of safety and the feasibility to improve it,” he said. “I could pick three areas in my back yard, but safety is the number one and I want to stay in that vein so we are not pitting one against the other.” McKee also believes it is critical that the federal government sit down with the province and come up with a long-term plan for
the Trans-Canada. Salmon Arm director Chad Elision took directors on a trip down memory lane. “Everybody remembers when Mr. (Todd) Stone came forward with Moving Forward 2020,” he said of provincial plans to improve the Trans-Canada Highway from Cache Creek to the Alberta border. “The major roadblock was the lack of federal funding. I think knowing the province is ready to go on these projects and has committed $600 million over the next 10 years will help.” Sicamous Mayor Terry Rysz supported the regional focus but with a caveat. “My concern is the timeline in which they’re completing the work,” he said. “I don’t think I am prepared to wait until my grandchildren are my age.” The longest-running director on the board, Martin reminded directors there have been times when the federal government was on-
board to improve the Trans-Canada Highway but the province was not. “We all know where the TCH is; it’s our mainstream,” she said, noting how accidents, rockfalls and weather mean people are stuck at home or not able to get home. “We want people to come home safely. Flynn said that while safety is of paramount concern, the economic impact of the highway both regionally and nationally cannot be ignored. “There is a time sensitivity to this,” he said, noting that with the deadline for submissions looming, directors should approve a letter to be written by CSRD staff rather than wait to approve a draft at next month’s board meeting. “The key is to have somebody draft a letter that embodies what we have said around the board.” Directors were unanimous in their consent.

Karen Scott hung up her lifeguard whistle on Monday after almost 30 years working with the City of Revelstoke. Scott started with the city in 1988, teaching swimming lessons at the old outdoor pool in Queen Elizabeth Park during the summer and clearing snow during the winter. She helped train the staff at the aquatic centre when it opened a decade ago and was the pool supervisor until her retirement on Monday, Feb. 29. "It has been wonderful but it's time to hang up the towel," she said. ~ Photo by Rob Stokes, Revelstoke Review

The Revelstoke Grizzlies pressure for the tying goal during the final minute of Sunday's 3-2 loss to the 100 Mile House Wranglers. ~ Photo by Alex Cooper, Revelstoke Review
Grizzlies hosting spring camp in April Grizzlies, from page 1 The teams scored 54 seconds apart in the third minute of the second, with Tyler Povelofskie putting 100 Mile up a goal and Ryan Pereverzoff evening things up a minute later. After that, the Grizzlies ran into penalty trouble, giving up six more goals, including four while shorthanded, to fall behind 8–2 before the second was over. Ryan Hozjan and Jeff Bochon scored in the third for Revelstoke, put Alex Hanson added one more for 100 Mile to make it a 9-4 final. Parent said he thought his team kept up with the Wranglers at even strength, but the penalties cost them. He was critical of the refereeing. “There’s committed infractions on both sides and you’re not getting a call, you’re beginning to wonder what’s going on here,” he said. “To survive 8 or 9 penalty kills in a row, it’s tough.” Game three saw the teams take the ice in front of a packed house at the Revelstoke Forum. The Wranglers had the best chance to score in the first when they were awarded a two-minute 5-on-3 powerplay. The Grizzlies killed it off with some gutsy penalty killing and some big saves by Trevor Dilauro, keeping the game scoreless at the intermission. The Grizzlies effort paid off when Wyatt Gottschalk tapped home a shot from in front to give Revelstoke a 1-0 lead four minutes into the second. Revelstoke attempted to hold off 100 Mile from there. Steven Fiust had the Grizzlie’s best chance to score when he busted in on a partial breakaway, but he was unable to put the puck past Wranglers’ goaltender Adam Derochie. Jayson Gilding tied the game 6.5 minutes into the third period. Neither team was able to score the rest of the way through regulation, sending the game to overtime. The team’s went back and forth in overtime, but the Wranglers came out on top when Povelofskie took advantage of a bad Grizzlies line change to break down the wing and fire the winner past Dilauro. The team’s were back it at the Forum on Sunday night for game four. The game was a tight-checking affair in the first, with neither team able to generate much in the way of scoring chances. The Grizzlies got on the board early in the second when Jackson Fulton fired home a point shot,
past Wranglers’ goaltender Zane Steeves. Nicholas Higgs made it 2-0 Revelstoke when he scored from the top of the circle with just over a minuted to play in the second. 100 Mile got one goal back when Tavis Roche’s point shot found its way past goaltender Trevor Dilauro with 16 seconds left in the frame. “You’d like to have that one back but for me, I don’t think it had any impact on us other than they scored the goal,” said Parent. The Wranglers tied the game when Justin Bond scored on the power play early in the third. Cole Zimmerman got the game winner, also on the power play, with just under seven minutes to go. The Grizzlies pushed hard for the tying goal in the final minutes, but they were unable to get a third puck past Steeves, who made 37 saves in the win. “I think over a seven game series, I could say we had a little bit of bad luck, but I thought our group played well,” said Parent following Sunday’s loss. “Two overtimes and a one goal loss in today’s game — I thought our guys played their asses off.” The Grizzlies began the season with high expectations, with Parent telling the Review he felt the team had a chance to contend. Playing in the toughest division in the league, they were never able to rack up wins consistently and struggled down the stretch, finishing the regular season with 49 points in 52 games. Still, Parent said he was happy of the progress the organization has made — from last place in the KIJHL three years ago, to the cusp of the playoffs last season, to this year’s first round loss. “This is good experience for those guys,” he said. “Now those veterans take that into next season and you have a round of playoffs under you belt, you know the pressures and you know how to respond to those pressures.” The Grizzlies are certain to lose the core of their defence for next year. Batke was in his final year of junior and is committed to Trinity Western University for next year, while 19-year-olds Jackson Fulton and Kyle Baron will both be heading to the University of Jamestown. Leading scorer Brady Mende also played his last season of junior. The work to re-stock the team will begin the first weekend of April, when Revelstoke hosts its spring camp at the Forum, with coaches and scouts from several Junior A teams in attendance. “I would expect to see some of the future players of this team at that camp,” said Parent.
