REVELSTOKE BABIES OF 2013 Check out the new arrivals! Pages 10–11

Heading into last Friday’s final game, lesser fans could have opted for the paper-bag-on-the-head routine following the Grizzlies grim, worst-ever 9-52 season, which included a 1-28 slide since mid-November. But not Revelstoke fans, who stuck it out to the end. They were rewarded with a last-minute, come-from-behind victory on Feb. 21, when the Grizzlies downed the Trans-Canada rival Sicamous Eagles 5-4, thanks to a last-minute, clutch goal from Grizzlies season MVP Brodie Buhler. The goal electrified the Revelstoke Forum, and demonstrated that while the Grizzlies have many woes to reckon with during the off-season, fan support isn’t one of them. Starting on page 12, we recap the season, cover individual awards and look towards rumours of a coaching and ownership change-up during summer break. Aaron Orlando/Revelstoke Times Review

Grizzlies fans savour last-chance victory

An Alberta snowmobiler escaped unharmed after plung-ing from a 1,000-foot cliff in the Monster Bowl area of Boulder Mountain on Feb. 17.

Revelstoke RCMP spokes-person Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabin-sky said police received several emergency calls just after 1 p.m. that day.

Grabinsky said the victim was riding in an area near the Mon-ster Bowl when he dismounted from his snow bike and walked out onto a cornice.

“He was taking a look at the view,” Grabinsky said. “The cor-nice fell away and he just slid away with it.”

Grabinsky said the man fell down a cliff and a slope, bounc-ing from “powder pillow to pow-der pillow” for a considerable

distance until he reached the bot-tom.

Grabinsky said the fall was about 1,000 feet in total – an estimate provided by a helicop-ter pilot who attended the scene.

“He was very lucky he got to the bottom,” Grabinsky said.

Revelstoke Search & Rescue were dispatched to the area via helicopter.

Grabinsky said they were able to locate the snowmobiler

quickly with the assistance of a SPOT beacon he was using.

Police report the man was uninjured, although he was trans-ported to hospital for examina-tion.

The RCMP issued a media release on the incident to high-light safety lessons, including the benefits of carrying elec-tronic devices that aid backcoun-try rescue.

“Police wish to remind of the

importance of backcountry safety and using available technolo-gies to identify locations using such devices as handheld GPS, cell phones or SPOT devices,” Staff-Sgt. Grabinsky said in a statement. “The sooner a persons location can be determined, the sooner help can be on scene.”

When activated, SPOT bea-cons send help requests to rescu-ers via a subscription service.

Electoral Area ‘B’ OCP Coverage

About a year after transit routes in Revelstoke were re-jigged, costs are up and ridership is down.

Total ridership in 2013 was 21,387 riders, down from 23,089 in 2012.

Net local cost – the amount Revelstoke pays after BC Transit covers about half the cost – is up. It was $170,284 in the 2012/13 budget, and has increased to $227,954 in the 2013/14 budget. That’s a 34-per-cent increase.

Ryan Little, Regional Transit Manager for BC Transit, will pro-vide an update to city council on Feb. 25, and will seek to explain the results of the revised transit system.

Little admits the numbers aren’t ideal: “They’re not great,” he said.

But these bottom-line numbers don’t tell the whole story.

Service hours have increased by 13 per cent, and revenues are up by 37 per cent.

Conventional ridership is actu-

ally up by two-per-cent, while other types of ridership are down. Health Connection rides have dropped by 14 per cent, and han-dyDART rides have dropped by 47 per cent. This suggests, in part, that more people are using the new three-route conventional system, while fewer take the han-dyDART. But there are other rea-sons handyDART ridership has suffered.

Little said BC Transit is responding to the drop in han-dyDART ridership by changing the service’s hours, eliminating a two-hour mid-day break between 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to make the hours 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. starting Feb. 1.

A review of the transit sys-tem was mentioned in passing during the city’s budget process. Little said BC Transit’s financial commitment to the system will remain.

In late 2012, a new, three-route system replaced the older two-route system. Riders com-plained that the older system was far too circuitous; it took too long to get from A to B in Revelstoke

because the buses scoured too many sidestreets for riders.

In his presentation, Little will discuss comparisons with other similar communities, but he cautioned it’s difficult to make direct comparisons. For exam-ple, he said HandyDART service is costly; comparing Revelstoke with another community that doesn’t have the service isn’t fair.

He noted Revelstokians aren’t the only ones who observe and comment on the phenomenon of frequently empty buses.

“We hear that in every commu-nity where there’s transit,” Little said. It boils down to economics; maintaining the schedule during non-peak hours works out to be more efficient than trying to run short shifts.

The changes don’t factor in the biggest shift in transit ridership in Revelstoke: the popular ski shuttle to RMR is not part of BC Transit system.

The City of Revelstoke had expected cost increases with the new three-route system, but it was hoped the new routes and a new bus would boost ridership.

Meditation goes back thousands of years to Buddhist India. It is practiced today in Canada and one doctor studied the effect meditation had on high blood pressure. He taught a group of people to include yoga and meditation in their daily routine. Although his results didn’t show any lowering of blood pressure, the participants noted that it helped them relax and live with less

stress. That’s a good outcome.

In moving a baby from the bottle or breast to a cup, sippy cups are often used and work well. But, they shouldn’t be overused. Allowing the child to drink all day from the cup filled with sugary drinks allows sugar to stay in the mouth longer, increasing the risk of dental decay. Also if used too often they can possibly alter the position of the teeth. By

the time the child is 2-3 years old, the sippy cup should be gone.

There is a link between the amount of alcohol a person drinks daily and the risk of getting certain types of cancers. The more you drink (wine, beer or spirits), the greater your risk of liver, mouth, colon and breast cancer. The risk of other cancers also rises.

Bad breath is something

that happens to others. But if it does happens to you, check your oral hygiene. Brush your teeth and tongue after eating. Floss well at least once daily. Dry mouth can contribute to bad breath too, so drink plenty of water. And if you are a smoker, quit.

For advice on treating dry mouth, special dental aids or mouthwashes, talk to our pharmacy staff. We’d be glad to help.

REVELSTOKE 250-837-4400 • CANMORE 403-678-4444 • BANFF 403-762-8383

VICTORIA – Finance Minister Mike de Jong unveiled B.C.’s second straight surplus budget Tuesday, with few spend-ing and tax changes as the province plans for economic growth driven by natural gas exports.

The biggest tax change is that pro-vincial tobacco tax goes up 32 cents a pack April 1, on top of the latest federal increase of 40 cents a pack. B.C.’s share is expected to generate another $50 million, and de Jong said a “significant portion” of that will be used to develop smoking prevention efforts in partnership with the Canadian Cancer Society.

Provincial funding for K-12 education continues at 2013 levels, as the govern-ment pursues an appeal of a court deci-sion that could add hundreds of mil-lions to school district costs. The budget includes a $300 million contingency fund this year, rising to $400 million next year, to cover anticipated costs in labour and other areas such as forest fires.

The budget touts investments in trade skills training, with shop projects at Camosun College, Okanagan College and NorKam Secondary in Kamloops. But the largest capital project is a new campus for Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver, and operating spending on colleges and institutes is projected to fall by $5 million in the coming year.

De Jong said the “re-engineering” of B.C.’s skills training programs referred to in last week’s throne speech is getting underway, and a new $1,200 education savings grant for children born in 2007 or later is being delivered starting this year.

NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth said the government balanced its bud-get with cuts to skills training, increases to fees and appropriating $480 million added to BC Hydro’s growing debt.

The B.C. Liberals spent heavily before the 2013 election to promote a jobs plan that has seen people continue to leave the province for work, Farnworth said.

The government expects to end the current year with an operating surplus of $175 million, rising to $184 million next year, which de Jong said is mainly a result of spending discipline. B.C. and Sas-katchewan are the only provinces to bal-ance budgets this year, and the three west-ern provinces remain the only ones with a triple-A credit rating.

B.C.’s personal income tax rates remain the lowest of any province, but the budget announced another four per cent increase in Medical Services Plan premiums for next year. That makes increases totalling more than 30 per cent over the past five

years.Taxpayer-supported debt rises to more

than $43 billion in the coming fiscal year, climbing to $45.5 billion by 2016-17. About $11 billion of next year’s burden is operating debt left by a string of deficits in recent years.

Total provincial debt, including self-supported debt held by BC Hydro and other agencies, grows from $64.7 billion this year to $68.9 billion three years from now.

B.C. pays $2.5 billion a year to ser-vice debt, or four cents out of each rev-enue dollar.

To generate the resource wealth Pre-mier Christy Clark has promised will pay off B.C.’s debt, the budget describes a two-tier income tax on liquefied natural gas exports 1.5 per cent and up to seven per cent.

LNG production companies would pay the lower rate to start, with most or all of it repaid by an investment tax credit until their capital costs have been recovered. Rates are to be confirmed with legislation in the fall.

No revenues from LNG are expected until 2017, and in the first three years, pro-ducers would recover income tax through a credit that continues until their capital investment is paid off.

MLA: Budget A ‘LitAny of MisMAnAgeMent’

Columbia River–Revelstoke MLA called the budget a “litany of mismanage-ment.”

In a Feb. 18 media release, Macdon-

ald said the budget failed to address real issues:

The level of disappointment that Brit-ish Columbians will be feeling in today’s BC Liberal 2014 budget cannot be under-estimated, says Columbia River–Revel-stoke MLA Norm Macdonald.

“This is a budget that fundamentally fails British Columbians as costs for hydro, medical service plan premiums, and car insurance continue to go up,” said Macdonald. “Nothing is being done to address real issues like child poverty, unemployment and skills training.”

British Columbia continues to have the highest rate of child poverty in the coun-try and the province lost 8,500 private sector jobs last month.

But while little is being done to use taxpayers’ money to make life better for British Columbians, B.C.’s debt is rising faster under Christy Clark than any pre-mier in the province’s history.

“What is truly disturbing about this government’s record on financial mat-ters is that we have skyrocketing debt, and very little to show for it. Health and edu-cation services are being cut due to a lack of funding,” continued Macdonald.

“And now, due to more than a decade of government interference, Crown Cor-porations that have traditionally operated with significant surpluses are struggling to stay afloat.

“This budget is a classic exam-ple of mismanagement of the province’s resources: taxpayers’ get less while pay-ing much, much more.”

B.C. government officials are opposed to a former New Zealand politician being granted access to the Internet in preparation for his upcom-ing first-degree murder trial in Kam-loops.

Peter Beckett is in custody at the Kamloops Regional Correctional Cen-tre on charges of first-degree murder, counselling to commit murder and obstructing justice.

He is representing himself, and has asked that all disclosure — more than 100,000 pages, according to the Crown — be given to him in hard copy.

The 57-year-old, who has been in custody since 2011, said he does not know how to use a computer, which is how the Crown suggested the disclo-sure be provided.

Appearing by video from KRCC on Monday, Feb. 17, Beckett reiterated his desire to receive hard copies of all relevant documents.

He also appeared to vaguely accuse B.C. Supreme Court Justice Iain Meiklem and Crown prosecutor Will Burrows of discussing evidence behind his back.

Meikelm dismissed the accusation, as well as a request by Beckett to be sent the forms necessary to file a law-suit against the B.C. Attorney Gener-al’s office.

Last week, Meikelm told Beckett he could receive training to use a com-puter to help plan his defence.

During the hearing, BC Correc-tions lawyer Christina Drake said jus-tice officials are opposed to such an arrangement.

“It’s a security issue as well as a resource issue in terms of monitoring Internet access,” she said.

“If there’s no supervision, there’s concern, obviously.”

Meikelm asked Drake to look into whether an “Internet Nanny” software program could be used to stop Beck-ett from visiting parts of the web irrel-evant to his defence.

In addition to the Internet, court heard Corrections staff are specifically concerned about Beckett’s desire to use a scanner and printer.

Burrows said printer toner has a black-market value behind bars because of its use in jailhouse tattoos, while paper can be used as a fuel.

Beckett called those claims “erro-neous,” and said he’s “not a pyroma-niac.”

The former New Zealand town councillor is alleged to have killed his wife, Laura Letts-Beck-ett, 50, by pushing her off a boat at Shelter Bay — south of Revel-stoke — in 2010.

He was arrested a year later.In late 2012, while Beckett

was in custody charged with mur-der, he was charged with the addi-tional counts following an under-cover jailhouse investigation by RCMP.

Police allege Beckett plotted

to kill five witnesses — includ-ing Letts-Beckett’s parents, an RCMP sergeant and an Alberta lawyer — while behind bars.

Beckett and his wife lived north of Edmonton at the time of the incident and are believed to have been in B.C. on vacation.

The drowning was first believed to have been an accident.

A New Zealand native, Beck-ett served as a town councillor in Napier from 1998 to 2001.

New Zealand media reports

describe him as something of a Kiwi Rob Ford, making headlines for assaulting the captain of a rugby team in a pub and stealing taxpayer-purchased liquor from city meetings.

Most recently, he worked as a school bus driver in Westlock, Alta.

Beckett is due back in court on March 13 for a hearing about how to proceed with disclosure.

Revelstoke’s Community Housing Society is presenting plans for their 12-unit affordable rental housing to city council on Feb. 25.

Society member and city eco-nomic development director Alan Mason said the rental housing initiative is targeting comple-tion for Dec. 1, meaning a tight approval and construction time-line for the rest of the year.

The project, to be located near the BC Ambulance station on Oscar Street, includes four accessible one-bedroom units with a projected rent of $550 a month, and eight, two-bedroom units with a projected rent of $750 per month.

In September of 2013, the project was set back when fund-ing partners BC Housing and the

Columbia Basin Trust informed the society that they would receive $1.2 million in funding support – less than the $2 million hoped for.

That led to steps to scale back the project and find savings; the society also continued to lobby for additional funds.

At the Feb. 25 city council meeting, society member Mark McKee will announce a new funding commitment from BC Housing and the Columbia Basin Trust of $1,487,883, which was confirmed in January of this year.

In a timeline they will pres-ent to council, the group hopes to have city approvals and permits wrapped up by mid-April.

Mason said the focus has been on keeping costs down. “We really held the line [on costs],” Mason said of recent design changes. “We want to keep the rents affordable; that’s why we

are doing this.”He said the tight construction

schedule was partly motivated by the need to meet a deadline to

keep their “attractive” mortgage rate deal.

From February 20–23, 1,800 athletes from across the province competed in 18 sporting disciplines at the 2014 BC Winter Games in Mission.

Local cross-country skiers Alana Brit-tin, Kate and Beth Granstrom and Eliz-abeth Elliott represented the Revelstoke Nordic Ski Club. Brittin collected two gold medals and Elliott added silver, help-ing to lead the way for a strong Okanagan–Thompson contingent.

The four skiers kicked off the event at the opening ceremonies in Mission, and then headed to Callaghan Valley for their competitions. This impressive venue (site of the 2010 Olympic Nordic events) and accommodations at the Whistler Athletes Centre were highlights for the skiers, men-tions Beth Granstrom: “It was cool to ski on the same course as the Olympians, then get to stay in the same dorms they stayed in.”

On Friday morning, skiers competed in the 400m free technique sprint events, beginning with a quali� er to seed skiers for the head-to-head knockout sprints.

Competition was tight over the short 400-metre course, which included a steep uphill, quick downhill and a long, grad-ual uphill � nish. Elizabeth Elliott advanced smoothly throughout the rounds and skied to an impressive second place in the ‘A’ � nal. Elliott was happy with her perfor-mance. “My goal for the season was to medal in this event at BC Winter Games and I did it!” she said.

Alana Brittin won the ‘B’ � nal, placing � fth overall. Beth Granstrom � nished in 11th place and Kate Granstrom was 13th.

Friday afternoon saw the 4x2–kilome-tre mixed technique relay event. Each team was comprised of two male and two female

members from their respective regions. Brittin skied a strong second leg to help the Okanagan–Thompson team win gold. Elliott and Beth Granstrom place seventh in their relay effort and Kate Granstrom’s team placed 10th.

On Saturday morning, the 2000 girls event was a three-kilometre individual start classic race.

Similar to Elliott in the sprints, Brittin saw the classic race as her premiere event of the season. “Classic is my preferred technique and the BC Winter Games are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I wanted to do well.”

In impressive fashion, Brittin skied to a 25-second victory in the race to earn her

second gold medal of the games. Beth, Elizabeth and Kate � nished

strongly in 7th, 8th and 9th, respec-tively. Both Granstrom girls were particu-larly pleased with their results, as this was also their highlight event of the games and the hilly course played to their advantage.

Revelstoke Nordic Coach Matt Smider was co-coaching the Okanagan–Thompson region at the event. “The BC Games are a great opportunity for the athletes to com-pete in their � rst multi-sport event and all our skiers enjoyed this unique experience,” Smider said. “It was an added bonus to see the girls reach their season’s goals at this prestigious competition.”

Vernon’s Best Value…. Make Us Yours!

In a complete about-face from an earlier memo to the board, Columbia Shuswap Regional District Board chair David Raven announced at Thursday’s meeting that he would not reconsider a rezon-ing decision regarding the expansion of Blind Bay Resort.

This means the decision the CSRD board made on Jan. 16 to reject Dan Baskill’s applica-tion will stand. At that time, the CSRD rural area directors split 3-3 on whether to approve the application and, due to the tie, voting procedure dictates that the application was rejected.

Raven’s decision sparked opposition from Area C (South Shuswap) director Paul Deme-nok who took the highly unusual step of challenging Raven’s authority as chairper-son on this matter.

Saying the voting process on Baskill’s application was flawed, Demenok’s challenge was an attempt to have the board overrule Raven’s deci-sion to refuse reconsideration.

The challenge, which is a procedure in Robert’s Rules of Order, caused a flurry of activ-ity, as CSRD administrative staff had to leave the room to consult with legal counsel as to whether the challenge was valid in this case.

On return, Charles Hamilton, chief administrative officer, told the board that after getting legal advice, it was determined the statutory power of the chair to authorize reconsideration of a vote is unique to that person and could not be challenged.

Raven’s announcement that he would not initiate reconsid-eration of the decision elicited audible gasps from people in the gallery, especially in light of his previous memo indicat-ing he would do so.

“As chair, my concern is the integrity of the process. Was it fair, defendable and appropri-ate? I do not personally have a dog in this fight,” Raven told the assembled board members and the overflowing gallery. “My determination is that this decision was made in an appro-priate manner by the board. The process that was followed was defendable and the decision is defendable.

“My decision is there will not be a re-vote. There is no reason to expose the board to the legal risk of a re-vote,” Raven said.

There was significant rep-resentation from both sides of the debate over the re-zoning at the meeting. A group of citi-zens were in the gallery, as well as a contingent of people car-rying brightly coloured signs who marched along the side-walk outside the boardroom windows. Many of the mes-sages called attention to the need for growth and develop-ment in Area C and expressed outrage at what they believe is the CSRD board’s unfair treat-ment of Baskill.

Other citizens were in atten-dance to show support for the decision to deny Baskill’s application. They expressed concerns for water quality in the area and note that this appli-cation runs contrary both to the current Area C Official Com-munity Plan, and the newest version which is still in pro-

cess.Raven’s decision to let the

Jan. 16 vote stand sparked anger from Baskill’s supporters. “You are all corrupt, every last one of you,” someone yelled into the boardroom as observers left the room.

Outside, Baskill called the decision a sad day for every cit-izen of the CSRD.

“The message that has been sent is that business is not wel-come here, that a misinformed, environmentalist agenda has trumped a responsible, ethical business proposal,” said a visi-bly upset Baskill, as he pointed across the parking lot to his sob-bing wife who was surrounded by supporters. “Now I’ve got a wife and kids who have to face that the husband is being forced into bankruptcy.”

Baskill said he is unable to finance a legal challenge to the CSRD decision.

“I don’t have the hundreds of thousands is would take to fight a flawed policy… It would take the people of the area to stand up for what is right, but whether that could be done in time to help Dan Baskill, the damage is already done.”

Some of Baskill’s supporters were suggesting an initiative to incorporate the Sorrento-Blind Bay area into its own municipal-ity. This appeared to be some-thing Raven also addressed in his statement, noting it was unfortunate that Area C only has one director for the size of the population and amount of commerce in the area.

“To have all the pressure on one director is very difficult,” he said.

Ottawa-based folk-rocker Kalle Mattson’s new album, Someday, The Moon Will Be Gold, certainly deserves the attention it’s getting.

After discovering most of the other acts in town this week have been featured in the Times Review before, I took a gamble on the solo artist booked for a Monday night show at the Last Drop. It sure paid off.

23-year-old folk-rock artist Kalle Mattson has just released Someday, and is backing it with a tour. Mattson and his � ve-piece are authentic and convincing, but most of all, the Sault Ste. Marie native writes and sings about heavy stuff in a real way.

Someday explores the sudden passing of Kalle’s mother – a tragic, formative event from his teenage years that he came to deal with dur-ing the creation of the album.

In a telephone interview, Matt-son explained he left Ottawa behind and was back at his child-hood home, working a crappy data

entry job while saving to pay for studio time.

While there, his grandmother passed away. The second family loss brought dormant issues to the fore.

“It’s technically my third full-length record, but in a lot of ways it feels like a debut,” he said. “To me, there’s a logical evolution between the records. I make this joke a lot now, but if I was a rapper, my other albums would be mix tapes, and this one would be the major label debut – except not on a major label. Essentially, it feels different from all the others, for the positive.”

The diverse songs span folk, rock and indie, uni� ed by Matt-son’s clear but diverse lyrical treat-ments. A Gypsy trumpet pastiche � oats over military snares; mourn-ful lyrics prod and evoke; refer-ential songs get straight folk-rock treatment.

I researched Mattson on a Wednesday, one week after Some-day was released. When I caught up with him on Thursday, the album’s prospects had changed dramatically. The hugely-in� uen-

tial Chicago-based Internet media out� t Pitchfork Media issued a review that day, giving the album a 7.6 out of ten.

“That’s like a ten!” Mattson told me. The indie-music focussed web-site reviewed new albums by well-known acts like Morrissey, Guided by Voices and Band of Horses in the past week or so; Mattson’s Someday bested them all. (The indie a� cionados have been taste-makers for over a decade, and are notoriously tough. In a spoof, sat-ire outlet The Onion once had Pitchfork founder Ryan Schreiber review ‘music’ in general, giving it a 6.8 out of 10.)

In the studio, Mattson’s band is tight, complex and talented. What’s most striking, though, is the young man’s ability to strip away arti-� ce in his direct, evocative (and diverse) songwriting and singing. It will be a pleasure to see him per-form live.

Kalle Mattson and his � ve-piece band play the Last Drop on the eve-ning of Monday, March 3.

Music fans, don’t miss this one.

Minutes after the � nal whis-tle had sounded on the Revelstoke Grizzlies 2013–2014 season, the security guards were coaxing down jubilant fans from the Plexiglas.

In the stands, fans chanted the victorious team’s name for sev-eral minutes after the thrilling third period had come to a close. On the ice, team-mates hugged, snapped souvenir photos and celebrated their late-season success.

All this for a pride-saving, come-from-behind 5-4 win over Trans-Canada rival Sicamous Eagles. It was a light at the end of the long, forlorn tunnel that started in 2013; the Grizz went one for 28 prior to the Feb. 21 home closer.

Halfway through, the game was shaping up to be a sad � nal chap-ter in an abysmal 9-52 season – the

worst ever for the Junior B Revel-stoke Grizzlies.

Grizzly Brendan Jay brawled with Eagle Darien Head midway through the � rst, earning both pugi-lists an early end to the regular sea-son. Grizzly Damin Devlin and Eagle Derek Miskiman also exited in the � rst following a one-sided � urry of � sts instigated by Devlin.

To their credit, both teams resisted the temptation to descend into a ender-bender brawl.

The Grizzlies were down 3-0 before game standout Matt Lucero avoided a collapse with a goal at 5:41 left in the second period.

The Revelstoke Forum beer sec-tion was happy to cheer for � ghts, but responded even better to goals, sending beer-cup pyramids tum-bling as they hooted and smacked their palms against the glass in response.

Visiting coaches and own-

ers often marvel at the support the Grizzlies get at home. Despite a season-long clinic in futility, there wasn’t an empty seat from the beer

table at the home-team’s goal-line to the visitors’ blue line (on the beer side of the arena, at least). ‘I can’t get those numbers when we’re win-

ning,’ the visitors say.The Grizzlies played their best

period of the year in the third. Down 4-1, goals by Jeremy McGregor, Riley Creighton and Matt Lucero (2 goals, one assist) evened it up – the last coming with only 1:33 left.

The Forum groaned when the next shot pinged off the post. The fans wanted a win for the boys bad – just one win – something they hadn’t accomplished at the Forum since Nov. 15, 2013.

With only 30 seconds left in regu-lation, Brodie Buhler put the team up 5-4. The celebration on and off the ice out-did those after the Canadian men’s Olympic final two days later.

The players on ice crashed into the boards, jumping at the arms of fans who’d climbed the boards to reach over for a high five.

Coach Sheldon Nohr called it an “excellent, excellent game.” He took over a fatally-wounded team in Decem-ber following the resignation of coach Darren Naylor. The Times Review has editorialized on the teams’ problems before, and little has changed.

The coaching assignment wasn’t secured in the off-season, and the team failed to recruit effectively. The Grizz were on their third coach by mid-August; Naylor was the fourth. Players gravitate towards a strong coach, one who will bring success and help an indi-vidual player’s development.

“When a team starts their camp and haven’t done very much recruiting it definitely makes a difference,” Nohr agreed. “The end result is it does put a burden on a team.”

Players came and went in the first months of the season; the team strug-gled to establish systems. “You need your team to gel and be a team as quick as possible,” Nohr said – something that didn’t happen. “It was hard for the kids to really bond and become an actual team.”

Shortly after Nohr’s arrival, captain Devon Hascarl and goalie Aaron Bran-doli jumped ship from the KIJHL and headed for Alberta.

“You have to play the cards that you are dealt,” Nohr said. He was out of trades by December and couldn’t bring

players in.

Next seasoNNohr, who worked without a proper

contract after being thrown into the coaching position, said he’s exploring ways to be “part of the organization” next year; whether that means serving as head coach – or more than that – is something he’s not willing to go on the record about yet.

If he does come back, a key consid-eration will be his relationship with the current ownership group. “Do they want to be involved or do they want to be a silent owner – it’s a juggling act,” Nohr said.

a faN’s perspectiveAt the final game, the Grizzlies

awarded Jennie Johnston with the senior fan of the year award. It’s the second time she’s won it – in part for never missing a home game. Her first award came during the 2009–2010 season, when the Grizzlies were Keystone Cup-winning Western Canadian Champions.

I chatted with Johnston in between periods. She loves the games – includ-ing the “fisticuffs” – and considers her-self a “true fan.” Some of the other sea-son-ticket holders threw in the towel months back. They asked her why she keeps coming when all the team does is lose. She said it’s about being a “true fan.” To her, that means staying with them through the good times and the bad.

Johnston knows a thing or two about moulding boys into fine young men. Her son’s a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Cana-dian Air Force, and has acheived post-graduate university degrees. I ask her what the Grizzlies need to do to get back to their championship form of 2010.

To summarize, she said everyone has their role to play in the organization and they need to stick to it.

Owners own, managers manage, coaches coach and players play.

When the lines between roles get blurred and things go wrong, account-ability becomes problematic.

Seems like a good start.

VICTORIA – The B.C. govern-ment plans to impose a two-tiered income tax on liquefied natural gas exports, with rebates in early years until investors recover the capital

cost of building LNG processing plants.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong presented the framework for LNG income tax with Tuesday’s provin-cial budget. It describes an income tax rate of up to 1.5 per cent on net revenue in the first three years of

LNG production, with a second tier rate of up to seven per cent applica-ble after five years.

Income tax paid in the first three years would be applied as a rebate to higher rates in year four and five, so the top rate wouldn’t take full effect until year six. Producers also

pay royalties on natural gas at the wellhead, and B.C.’s carbon tax would apply to gas burned in processing and refrigera-tion of LNG.

De Jong said he the final income tax rates will be set when the govern-ment introduces legisla-tion this fall. That is when international companies are expected to begin making final investment decisions.

The budget includes government revenue and expense forecasts out to 2017, with no tax reve-nue projected from LNG until later. De Jong said the government is stick-ing to its “lofty” goal of having three export plants operating by 2020.

In his response to the budget, NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth said the government has missed its original tar-get to have the LNG tax regime in place by the end of 2013. He zeroed in on Premier Christy Clark’s promise to have at least one LNG pipeline and plant in operation at Kitimat by 2015, and her campaign pledge to retire B.C.’s growing debt.

“Judging from today’s lack of LNG revenue, the premier’s promise to magically wipe away $70 billion worth of debts in 15 years is surely a fan-tasy,” Farnworth said.

Natural Gas Develop-ment Minister Rich Cole-man denied the sugges-tion that the tax structure is behind schedule. He said he met with officials from Shell and other pro-ponents last week, and they are “comfortable” with the progress to date.

“The opposition wouldn’t know LNG if it came up and bit them,” Coleman said. “They’re totally uninformed. They don’t support the process, they don’t support LNG, they never have.”

In a speech to the B.C. Chamber of Commerce in Vancouver Wednes-day, Clark said not all of the 10 LNG plants cur-rently proposed will pro-ceed, but even one would be a significant source of revenue.

Asked by reporters if the budget means no LNG revenues by 2017, Clark said it is still pos-sible.

“We don’t want to book money that we don’t have yet,” Clark said.
