Council tackles the capital planLand of

Thundering Snow

The saga of the city hall renovations continues.Revelstoke council spent a good thirty minutes discussing the $1.735

million project at special budget meeting on Tuesday, Mar. 3.The meeting lasted for three hours, and a good number of spending

items were discussed, but it was the ongoing renovations — presented on page one of the capital plan — that received the most debate.

The plan lays out the budget for the city hall renovations over the next four years:

— In 2015: $60,000 to finish the exterior work and $340,000 for the interior renovations.

— In 2016: $540,000 for the exterior stucco replacement.— In 2017: $260,000 for the elevator, $225,000 to move council

chambers into city hall, and $85,000 for council furnishings.— In 2018: $225,000 to renovate the finance department.After a brief introduction to the plan by finance director Graham Ing-

lis, council delved into the proposed spending. “What sort of planning process have we gone through so far in the city

hall renovations?” asked councillor Aaron Orlando, specifically referring to the elevator and moving council chambers.

Inglis responded: “It was part of an overall plan to improve customer service in city hall and bring council chambers back into that environ-ment so we can relieve ourselves of paying rent (for council chambers).”

Coun. Linda Nixon, the only survivor from the previous council explained that the elevator was the result of a provincial government white paper that emphasized the need for public buildings to be acces-sible.

“And affordable,” interjected Mayor Mark McKee.The meat of discussion, which was dominated by Orlando, McKee

and councillor Connie Brothers, came down to the fact the new council wants to learn more about the planning process behind the city hall ren-ovations before moving forward with more than a million in spending over the next four years.

“These are big ticket items,” said Brothers. “I’m concerned I have to vote on this when I don’t have a handle on what these projects are, what they involve, whether or not we truly need them, and whether or not they’re a priority. We may need them, but we have so many other issues to deal with.”

One thing that was acknowledged was the need to finish the down-stairs renovations at city hall. The rest of the interior renovations were pushed back.

“For 2015 we have to put something in the budget to finish the reno-vation project and get city hall functioning the way it’s supposed to be,” said McKee. “Then council is going to have a look with staff at what’s going to be our priorities over the next five years.”

In the end, council voted to push back the elevator, moving council chambers and finance department renovations by a year each so they could have a chance to look at the planning and necessity of each project.

The paucity of snow this win-ter has claimed another victim.

The Red Bull Cold Rush, a freeski event that was set to take place at Revelstoke Mountain Resort from March 23–26, has been cancelled due to poor snow conditions.

"This event requires deep pow-der snow to be a success," said Scott Jewett, the event manager in a news release. "Safety for ath-letes and delivering a premium, progressive ski contest are our ultimate goals for Red Bull Cold Rush. Unfortunately, conditions will not allow for either."

The news is disappointing but not entirely surprising given the ski conditions this year.

The event was supposed to take place in early February, but a series of warm and wet Pineapple Express systems, that were usu-ally followed by freezes, forced organizers to postpone the event in the hopes the backcountry con-ditions would improve.

Instead, the last month has been mostly dry, with minimal new snow and a hard crust form-ing throughout the area.

As a result, Red Bull has cho-sen to cancel the event rather than hope for a return of winter.

This is the second winter in

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

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

“You’re only committing to 2015 when you adopt the budget later on,” he said. “When we come to do the 2016-20 plan, it’s councils prerogative to change the budget.”

Here’s a rundown on some of the other spending items in the capital plan that council questioned:

— Council asked about IT spending, such as $110,000 budgeted this year to purchase and install new finance soft-ware. Inglis said the current software

was very old. “It works, but there’s better products out there that can help us provide better information to our customers and other depart-ments.”

— There were questions about spending $75,000 on permit track-ing software for the planning department. Thomas said it would improve customer service by help-ing city keep track of all permits that come into city hall. Right now, everything is tracked by hand.

— Council asked about replac-ing one of the city’s fire trucks for $450,000. Fire chief Rob Girard said Engine #2 is 30 years old and is the last truck to be replaced.”It’s been in the plan since I’ve been the chief,” he said, adding he would be bringing a business case to council later this year.

— Connie Brothers asked about spending $60,000 in 2016 on a new sub-division bylaw. Dean Strachan, the manager of devel-opment services, said the current bylaw was old and difficult for developers to work with. “I’d be keen on working on that sooner, I’m just not sure I’d have the time to do that,” he said.

— Some of the spending on the RCMP detachment was ques-tioned. Inglis said those projects were requested by the RCMP. Two of the requests, $32,000 for new workstations and $15,000 for floor-ing, were pushed back to 2016.

— A motion to defer a hazard-ous building assessment of the courthouse was defeated but coun-cil did vote to defer exterior light-ing upgrades by a year.

— The capital plan includes $500,000 to fix the Mutas/Victoria

intersection in 2016, and $400,000 to fix the Townley/Fourth/Victoria intersection in 2017. Thomas said he was working with stakeholders — the Ministry of Transportation on the former and CP Rail on the latter — on solutions. “We need to keep trying to find a solution that best meets the expectations of all the stakeholders,” he said.

— The bucket truck, which is used for things like installing street banners and replacing street-lights is up for replacement. Coun. Orlando asked if that was neces-sary. Darren Komonoski, the pub-lic works manager, said the truck was costing almost as much to repair as it was worth, adding he was looking to see if it was worth contracting out that work instead of buying a new truck.

— The city plans on spending $130,000 on Mackenzie Avenue streetlights from Third to Eighth. Thomas told council the lights aren’t grounded and pose a pub-lic safety hazard where someone could receive a 120 volt shock in the worst case scenario.

— The arena roof replace-ment is in the budget for 2017 at a cost of $7 million. Mayor McKee said the whole building should be looked at before making a decision on the roof. “There’s no point put-ting new roof if the building is fall-ing apart,” he said. Laurie Donato, the director of parks, recreation and culture, said she could come back to council with more infor-mation on arena upgrades.

— One item that was moved forward was $380,000 for water line upgrades to the Hill Crest Hotel. Thomas said the work is

being spurred both by public safety needs (the fire hydrant closest to the hotel is downhill and far away) and the upcoming construction of the new Mount Begbie Brewery nearby. The item was budgeted for 2016, but Thomas said there were advantages to doing the work this year, and it could be done for about $220,000 if moved forward.

— Council voted to add the Big Eddy Waterworks upgrades to the financial plan, even if the total cost and timing is not yet know. The costs will be borne by Big Eddy property owners.

— $1.2 million is budgeted in 2019 to upgrade the sewage treat-ment plant. Thomas said this was in the budget as a placeholder. A bigger focus is to reduce storm and groundwater infiltration into the sewer system, which would help increase the plant’s capacity.

A few other big projects weren’t discussed but are in the capital plan:

— The Farwell neighbourhood is scheduled for a major re-work in 2017 and 2018 at a cost of about $1.9 million.

— The water budget includes $1.6 million from 2017–19 to install water lines to the South Revelstoke area. Thomas said this may be a joint project with the regional district.

— There is $615,000 budgeted in 2019 to replace the filters at the Greeley water treatment plant.

— There is $800,000 budgeted in 2018 to replace the Downie Force Main.

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

The sphygmomanometer (from the Greek, sphugmos meaning

“pulse”) is one of the most common instruments used in medicine today. The first blood pressure monitor was invented in 1881. It was a very clumsy affair and not too accurate. It wasn’t until 1905 that the difference between systolic and diastolic pressures was discovered, meaning that blood pressure results were more reliable.

Recent discussions in the media about the rock star, Bono wearing tinted glasses put the spotlight on glaucoma, an eye problem that can lead to blindness. Early detection is important and although the disease

can’t be cured, it can be controlled by the regular use of eye drops. Have you had your eyes checked recently?

Dental plaque is a film that develops naturally on our teeth but it doesn’t disappear naturally. We have to take it off by brushing at least twice daily and flossing at least once. Regular flossing is important because plaque starts to harden within 48 hours and is difficult to get off. Make flossing part of your daily routine.

The City of Revelstoke is propos-ing to allow medical marijuana grow ops only in parts of the city zoned light industrial.

Staff is asking council to give the go-ahead to develop a new bylaw that would create rules and regula-tions surrounding legal grow-ops in the community.

The bylaw would add a de� nition for Medical Marijuana Production facility and add its use to light indus-trial areas.

Currently, the industrial park, parts of the Big Eddy, a few areas along Westside Road and the com-munity forest log yard are zoned light industrial.

The bylaw is being developed so the city can conform to new Health Canada regulations that came into effect Apr. 1, 2014, that say medi-cal marijuana must be produced in a licensed, secure facility.

Should the new city regulation be passed, someone wishing to open

a medical marijuana facility would need to get permission from Health Canada, as well as a development permit, building permit and business license from the City of Revelstoke.

The proposal was set to be dis-cussed at the Mar. 10 meeting of council. Visit the Times Review web-site for more on this story.

VICTORIA — The trial of a Victoria man accused of the � rst-degree murder of Revelstoke’s Daniel Levesque in August 2011 has ended in a mistrial.

Joshua Bredo’s trial for the murder, sexual assault and unlaw-ful con� nement of Levesque began Jan. 28 in B.C. Supreme Court and was expected to last seven weeks. But after hearing evidence from police, paramed-ics and forensic experts, the trial became bogged down in legal issues.

Last Tuesday, Mar. 3, Justice Malcolm Macaulay declared a mistrial and discharged the jurors of their duties.

“As has been apparent for some time, there has been an unusually lengthy list of matters that have had to be addressed in your absence,” Macaulay told the jury.

“It is now apparent to me that this matter was not properly ready for trial with a jury in all the cir-cumstances. There are simply

too many unresolved issues that require your absence and there are still too many others in the future for this trial to continue.”

Bredo’s trial will resume in the future, before another jury, if nec-essary, when it is properly ready to proceed, said Macaulay.

Bredo was initially charged

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

Kimberley’s Bill Green is the candidate for the Green Party in the riding of Kootenay-Columbia for the 2015 election.

“I believe there is a growing dismay with the present govern-ment,” he said. “People are think-ing that it’s time for a change. The key is to convince them that the Green Party is the change they should make.”

Green, 62, is a biologist and manager who is the founder of the Canadian Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fisheries Commission. The group has been working to re-establish the salmon run up the Columbia River.

“I’ve always been drawn to

water, � sh and aquatic systems, both for recreation and work,” he said. “I have worked passionately to protect and care for aquatic eco-systems since the mid-1970’s.”

He said he would work to fos-ter an environmentally sustain-able, green economy in the region. He said the federal government could promote a green economy by adjusting tax policies, and pro-viding incentives for green energy, more ef� cient construction stan-dards, and green infrastructure.

Green � nished third in the 2011 election, with 5.95 per cent of the vote in the riding.

He believes that MP David Wilks will not get away with skip-ping debates and forums this time around.

“The long gun registry is

behind us. That’s no longer an issue. There are a broad range of issues and David Wilks will have to address them. He has to show up and speak to his government’s record.”

Green said he was campaigning to win the riding.

“Greens across the country have shown that Greens can get elected and bring a wide range of important issues forward at all lev-els of government” he said. “Most importantly, I want to give real representation to the people and communities of this riding in Par-liament. We need to revive our democracy, we need a smart econ-omy, and we need strong commu-nities.”

49 groups seek CBT funding

Forty-nine community organizations made their pitch to the community to receive funding from the Columbia Basin Trust at the community centre last Tues-day, Mar. 3.

The annual event where various orga-nizations make their case for Affected Areas & Community Initiatives Program funding brought out more than 100 peo-ple to the community centre.

There were 49 groups looking for funding (a 50th, the Revelstoke Climbing Coop, withdrew its application at the last minute), ranging from museums to social

organizations to sports clubs.They were seeking a combined

$707,044 to help fund $1,706,827 in projects. CBT has $339,519 to give out to Revelstoke and area groups this year.

The complete list of projects can be read on the Times Review website.

Following the presentations, attend-ees were allowed to make their top 10 choices for funding. The community vote is worth 15 per cent of an applicant's score, while the rest is determined by a panel of evaluators: Fraser Blythe, Linda Chell, Janet Lemieux, Cindy Maloney and Gary Starling. City council makes the final decision on funding.


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

Telus bringing broadband to town

Revelstoke’s wait for true high speed Internet may be finally over.

The City of Revelstoke announced last Thursday morn-ing that Telus will be connecting more than 90 per cent of homes and businesses in Revelstoke directly to fibre optic cables — a move that will make Internet speeds of up to 100 megabits per second available to customers.

“Revelstoke is thrilled to be selected for this project and we’re especially happy that it’s com-ing at no cost to the municipality or its citizens” said Mayor Mark McKee. “We recognize that fast internet connection speeds make a community more attractive, and that we have to stay competitive in this area to attract visitors, res-idents and businesses to our com-munity. We’re grateful to Telus for their investment in our com-munity and helping us to achieve our goals.”

Revelstoke has been ham-pered by slow Internet in recent years, with the network’s capac-ity unable to meet demand at peak hours, particularly in eve-nings during the winter, when the town is full of residents and vis-itors browsing the web. The rise in popularity of streaming video services like Netflix has com-pounded the situation.

“I think historically the cop-per-based network Revelstoke has had over the years has been chal-lenged to keep up with the growth in demand,” said Tony Geheran, the president of broadband net-works for Telus, at a meeting in council chambers with several senior Telus managers and local politicians.

Also there from Telus were Bert Braybrook, the general man-ager for the Kamloops region; Clare Adams, the senior mar-ket manager for Revelstoke; and Zouheir Mansourati, the vice-president for broadband imple-mentation. Representing the City of Revelstoke were Mayor Mark McKee, councillors Aaron Orlando, Linda Nixon and Gary Sulz; and acting CAO Graham Inglis.

Telus approached the City of Revelstoke about a year ago as part of their nation-wide roll-out of broadband into smaller com-munities that began in 2013. In B.C., Salmon Arm, Sech-elt, Gibsons, Armstrong, Oliver and Osoyoos were connected in the first year. More communi-ties were hooked up last year, and Revelstoke is part of this year’s roll out.

The City of Revelstoke signed a memorandum of understand-ing with Telus last year to ensure

the roll-out went smoothly. The investment is being made without any cost to the taxpayer.

“We try to get a year ahead for the communities we want to go to so all those processes out of the way and we can start the build as soon as possible,” said Gehe-ran. “There’s no obligation on the city’s part. They city hasn’t made any obligation to Telus that they wouldn’t to any other service pro-vider. It’s a open collaborative relationship.”

The matter was a poorly kept secret until last week’s announce-ment.

Telus’ plan is to roll out fibre-optic broadband cable into each home and business in the City of Revelstoke and small portions of the rural area over the next year. The 90 per cent figure given in the press release is a hedge agains the fact that some people might opt not to connect, said Geheran.

The network will be installed in stages. The community has been divided up into 11 “fibre service areas.” As the cable is extended to each area, sales peo-ple will be knocking on doors to sell people on the new services.

The connection is free, and residents are under no obligation to sign up for Telus services, said Geheran. Telus expects existing subscribers to upgrade and new subscribers to sign on as they roll out the broadband.

Customers will be able to sign up for Internet speeds of 15, 25, 50 or 100 megabits per second. Rates start at $58 per month at the lowest end, to $88 per month for 100 mbps Internet. The cost

of television will depend on what options the customer chooses, and there are packages available.

“Most would elect to take a higher speed Internet service,” he said. “They’ll probably elect to take Optik TV service because the features are pretty good.”

Everyone should be hooked up and able to to sign up for broad-band by early 2016. A micro-site at telus.com/revelstoke will be set up so people can find out when their neighbourhood will be hooked up.

Geheran said this amounts to a $7 million investment.

“This is going to open up a lot of doors for businesses and resi-dents to enjoy broader connectiv-ity,” said McKee. “It’s going to offer opportunity for people who want to enjoy our lifestyle, move here and run their home-based business.”

Revelstoke Cable subscribers will remain on the cable network. General manager Tracey Buckley said they would be installing new equipment in the coming months to improve bandwidth. At that point they’ll be re-branding, re-marketing and re-packaging their offerings.

“I’m hoping we’ll have more than adequate bandwidth in the next month or two in Revelstoke,” she said. “At that time we want to give customers options.

“Our approach is to have high-bandwidth Internet, but at good prices. Of course, with your local support with Revelstoke people in an office available to help cus-tomers.”

Eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder

The ages between 12 to 24 are challenging for almost all youth. The biological, social, physical and psychological path to adulthood is not easy, even under the best of cir-cumstances. But coupled with that tough journey is the fact that 75 per cent of all men-tal health disorders � rst show up in these teen/young adult years, too. For the majority, the mental health issue is apt to be mild to moderate anxi-ety or depression; both highly treatable.

A number of other very important mental health issues, however, also tend to arise � rst in the teen years. Here is some general informa-tion and links to resources for two speci� c issues: eating dis-orders and obsessive-compul-sive disorder. Next week we will talk about bipolar disor-der and schizophrenia.

In all cases, if you suspect your child might be suffering from a speci� c condition talk to your family doctor or con-tact the Child and Youth Men-tal Health clinic provided by the Ministry of Children and Family Development in your nearest community. Call Ser-vice BC at 1-800-661-8773 to � nd the nearest MCFD of� ce to you.

Eating disorders: The tran-sition from adolescence to adulthood is particularly risky for the development of anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN). An esti-mated 0.9% of young women aged 12 to 24 will develop AN, while about 1.5 % of young women develop BN. While young women are three times more likely to develop these disorders, young men in recent years are increasingly showing to have eating issues.

While our societal obses-sion with thinness may set the scene; genetic risk factors, as well as underlying anxi-ety, perfectionism and self-esteem issues are thought to combine to trigger the dis-orders. Once anorexia starts and the body gets into starva-tion mode, the brain chemistry changes. As well, the body's dehydration, altered electro-lyte balance and poor nutri-tional status can lead to heart rhythm issues and other organ

function problems. The goal in treating anorexia is to re-feed the person to a healthier weight, and then treat the dis-ordered thinking behind the condition, with one or more of the most effective treatments. These treatments include cog-nitive behavioural therapy (CBT), family-based therapy and dialectic behavior ther-apy (DBT). Re-feeding and psychotherapy may co-occur once the person is progress-ing to a healthier weight. With bulimia, along with CBT, anti-depressant medication has been shown to be helpful. In both conditions, medications may be helpful if there is a co-occurring mood or anxiety disorder, as is often the case.

Symptoms of AN to look for in your teen include rapid or signi� cant weight loss, food restriction and obsession with calories or exercise. For BN, weight loss may not be very apparent, but your teen may go to the washroom immedi-ately after eating and run the water. You may see evidence of vomiting in the toilet bowl.

Since anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness, it is impor-tant to seek help at the � rst signs. For more information and to see a full listing of provincial programs, includ-ing the Provincial Specialized Eating Disorders Program for

Children and Adolescents at BC Children’s Hospital, as well for videos and other help-ful information, see Kelty Eat-ing Disorders, keltyeatingdis-orders.ca. Another source for information is the National Eating Disorders Information Centre, nedic.ca.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): Obsessions are repetitive, intrusive and unwanted thoughts that cause the affected youth great anx-iety. Compulsions are the actions or the rituals that he or she must go through to reduce the anxiety caused by the obsessive thoughts.

A very common OCD obsession is about contamina-tion or germs, with the com-pulsion being the need to hand wash repeatedly or avoid any surface, individual or situation where germs might be present. Another common OCD obses-sion is the fear that something terrible will happen unless the youth takes a speci� c rit-ualistic action, like counting, checking, or placing items in a speci� c order.

Genetic risk factors plus an environmental trigger are thought to set off the illness, which tends to run in families. One environmental trigger that may be linked to sudden onset OCD symptoms in some

Top Chump!

The Revelstoke Ski Club hosted the Nancy Greene zone final this past weekend and many of our young skiers were on the podium. With almost 200 racers from teams throughout the Okan-agan zone, the competition was tough but home-hill advantage seemed to pay off for our young-est skiers, many of whom were experiencing their first race.

On Saturday the youngest ski-ers had two races through the gates set on Hollywood. This group was aged five to eight and judging by their smiles at the end of the course, we’ve got some eager racers coming up through

the ranks. Results were:2010 boysEgan Kelly – 1st in both races2008 boysBenjamin Jones – 1st and 3rd2009 boysNick Gill – 3rdSunday’s two races, also on Hol-

Land of Thundering Snow exhibit given two part launch

Five years ago, on Mar. 4. 2010, Revelstoke held an emotional memorial ceremony for the victims of the deadliest avalanche in Canadian History. 100 years earlier, 58 railway workers died when they were bur-ied in a slide off Avalanche Mountain in Rogers Pass.

The memorial sparked a discussion at the Revel-stoke Museum & Archives that more was needed to be done to mark the history of avalanches in Canada.

The result of those talks turned into Land of Thun-dering Snow — an online exhibit that looks at the his-tory of avalanches in Canada in terms of its impact on lives, transportation and industry.

The launch took place last Wednesday, Mar. 4, in two parts. First, the physical exhibit was launched at the museum in the afternoon. It features informational displays about avalanches, snow science and snow safety, with historical artifacts including old snow study instruments and a Skadi beacon from the early 1970s.

That evening, the lead researcher John Woods gave an overview of the online exhibit — the product of 2.5 years of research.

The exhibit includes five components. Lessons of the Past features an interactive map with information on every recorded fatal avalanche in Canadian history. They date back to 1782, when 22 people died when an avalanche struck an Aboriginal community at Nain, Labrador.

The map allows you to look at when fatal ava-lanches happened, and what kind of activity was tak-ing place — whether it was recreational, transporta-tion, industry, affecting a community, or other.

Six avalanches are looked at in more details, and a full look is given to the superstorm of 1910, when a series of massive snowfalls resulted in 10 fatal ava-lanches that claimed 180 lives — 59 in Canada and 121 in the United States.

The second section of the website looks at the anat-omy of an avalanche and how they’re caused.

The third section is on avalanche control work, from snowsheds to helicopter bombing.

Section four looks at avalanche safety. The final section looks at the how avalanches impact the nat-ural world.

The exhibit also includes two lesson plans teachers can download. The first is on the anatomy of the ava-lanche, while the other is on avalanche control along transportation routes.

The exhibit is a huge accomplishment for the Rev-elstoke Museum & Archives, who received $235,000 in funding from the Virtual Museum of Canada in 2012. A project team, consisting entirely of Revel-

stokians was assembled. It was lead by Cathy Eng-lish and managed by Hayley Johnson. Woods led the research, assisted by Tomoaki Fujimura. The website was designed by Kathryn Whiteside and developed by Calgary’s Sland Studios. Carly Moran designed the museum exhibit. Sarra Dupuis translated everything into French, while Kendra Von Bremen produced the educational materials and Francois Desrosiers pro-duced numerous videos for the website.

Avalanche Canada, Okanagan College, Parks Can-ada, the Revelstoke Railway Museum and the Virtual Museum of Canada were also partners.

The museum was able to gather a great deal of archival material while developing the exhibit.

As Woods said at the launch, “This is only the beginning.” A sixth section asks the public to contrib-ute more information on the history of avalanches in Canada.

“Our understanding of the relationship of snow avalanches and Canada’s first peoples is fragmen-tary; photographic records of avalanche incidents and safety measures at pioneer mines is incomplete; few artifacts related to avalanches are stored in Canadian museums; and many important digital and printed images are in danger of being lost or rendered less valuable because of inadequate labeling.”

You can check out the exhibit at the museum or online at landofthunderingsnow.ca.

Atom Grizzlies win Okanagan Valley championship

The Revelstoke Junior Grizzlies travelled to Chase, BC this past weekend represent-ing North Okanagan in the Valley Champi-onships. It was a whirlwind journey as they played six games in 10 days.

They quali� ed for the Valleys on March 2, beating out Lumby in a close 4-3 game to take the league playoff banner.

At the district tournament they started strong with a 7-2 win over West Kelowna with points from Ryan Howe, Sawyer Grimm, Bro-die Patry, Kurtis Kinoshita, and Thomas Mac-Donald.

Game two ended in a tie against Logan Lake, whom they would meet in the � nals on Sunday. Donald Robichaud took the lead in scoring in their second game with two goals.

Revelstoke � nished off Saturday by play-ing the host team Chase, with a strong win and a shutout for the goalie Thomas Campbell.

The � nal playoff game against Logan Lake was full of intensity. Revelstoke’s lead-off goals in period one and two were scored

by Justin Kungl and then Sawyer Grimm. In the third, Logan Lake retaliated to tie it up. Goals by Noah Overwater and Brodie Patry, assisted by Thomas MacDonald and Zach-ary Burke, led Revelstoke to the win, but not before Logan Lake pulled their goalie to come within one point.

With a � nal score of 4-3, Revelstoke won the championship.

A combination of teamwork, high cali-bre coaching and a goalie who can stand on his head, allowed the boys to hold the banner proudly.

Many thanks to all the community part-ners who supported the team in the playoffs including: Community Futures, Revelstoke Credit Union, Revelstoke History of Hockey and Grizzly Auto.

Congratulations to the triple banner Atom team: league champions, playoff champs and valley champions!

The win completed an Okanagan sweep for Revelstoke’s minor hockey teams after the Peewee and Bantam squads also won their league titles. Both teams will be playing in the provincial championships starting March 15.

The Revelstoke Atom Grizzlies celebrate their Okanagan Super League championship in Chase on the weekend. Contributed by Revelstoke Minor Hockey

This weekend my friends and I went to a synchronized swim meet in Kelowna. We have been training once a week with our coaches Carmen Legate and Sher-relle Anderson since October.

We left Revelstoke at 6 a.m. and drove to Kelowna. When we got there we got into our spar-kly blue swim suits and then put gelatin in our hair. We put it in so that when we do our routines our hair doesn't get in our face.

Then we went out on deck and we did our warm up. We watched all of the provincial girls do their routines. After the provincial girls there were four recreational teams ahead of us. I was feeling a little nervous while watching the other teams. Before us was our other team with Amelie Dele-salle, Haley Callaghan, Makayla Pelletier and Jade Soles.

Our routine was called "Splish Splash." In my group was me, (Monica Parkin), Lutza Berken-bosch, Evan Smith, Aidan Law-rence and Anya Jones. After everyone � nished their routines we did our � gures. This is where we go in the pool one at a time and perform a "� gure" in front of � ve judges. The � gures were sailboat alternate, back tuck som-ersault, head � rst sculling and front layout. This was the end of

the competition part. Next up we did stations. The

stations were working on pat-terns, sailboats, sculling and front walk over. Then, in our groups, we did relays. The relays were chain sculling, consecutive som-ersaults, under, kick-pull-kick, and highlights.

My favourite part of the syn-chro meet was learning to open my eyes under water without gog-gles, and my favourite part about being in synchronized swimming lessons is learning new skills, especially the � ips.

Revelstoke skaters and coaches put the final touches on the Skat-ing Club’s upcoming Name That Movie ice show at a dress rehearsal last week and are pleased to share a sneak peak of the show that cel-ebrates 'movie night' — the enter-tainment of choice for many Cana-dian households.

“Skaters have improved since last year’s ice show and are very excited to show off their hard work,” said Head Coach Nina Greschner. “The ice show is also an important opportunity for skat-ers to learn how to perform under the pressure of a local crowd.”

The show showcases a number of popular movies from now and the past including The Thomas Crown Affair, Tron, Frozen, Kung Fu Panda and Star Wars. Before intermission, four ‘mys-tery movies’ will also be featured. Audience members who purchase a ballot and name the mystery movies correctly will have the chance to win a prize. Come to

the Forum on Thursday, Mar. 12, to enjoy the show and support our local skaters. Doors open at 5:30 pm, admission by donation.

Some of the senior skaters took the time to share their thoughts on the show and what it means to perform in their home town.

“I enjoy skating in Revel-stoke because I want to show off my progress and the crowd is small enough town that you know almost everyone,” said Makenna Howe. “I think it is important that every skater gets a chance to skate in front of a full house in their own town.”

“Each year we put on a very different and creative ice show,” said Alexis Larsen. “I think it will be fun for the audience to get involved and guess the mystery movies.”

“I like to perform in Revel-stoke because I like to skate for people I know. It feels more per-sonal,” said Sophie Dorrius. “And the ice show is really spe-cial because of the size of the crowd and the effect created by the spotlights.”

Along with the movie-themed numbers, the show will feature solo performances by both adult and youth skaters. This will give the audience a chance to see local skaters deliver medal-winning solos they have showcased at var-ious skating competitions around the province this season.

Starting again in Septem-ber 2015, the Revelstoke Skat-ing Club will be offering a vari-ety of skate programs for adults and kids including Skate Canada Canskate and Starskate programs for beginner and developing skat-ers; Powerskate, a fast-paced pro-gram designed for hockey and ringette skaters; and adult pro-grams. Early bird registration starts in June.

Interested in helping to develop a strong skating pro-gram in Revelstoke and want to offer your skills either on or off the ice? Come to the Skating Club's annual general meeting at the Revelstoke Community Cen-tre on April 22, 2015, at 7 p.m. or contact President Liane Dorrius at [email protected].

Avalanche Canada is receiv-ing $325,000 over two years from Columbia Basin Trust to help it continue its work of increasing public safety for winter backcoun-try users.

Avalanche Canada is a national public avalanche safety organiza-tion, with world-leading accident

prevention programs and services.Based in Revelstoke, the orga-

nization produces daily avalanche forecasts throughout the winter for many of the well-used mountainous regions of western Canada, includ-ing the Kootenay/Boundary and Purcells.

It has also developed an interna-tionally recognized curriculum for recreational avalanche safety train-ing, and support instructors who

teach thousands of people each year.

"The services of Avalanche Can-ada are essential when it comes to winter safety, both here and else-where in the country,” said Neil Muth, Columbia Basin Trust's pres-ident and CEO. "We know that both residents and visitors to the Basin benefit greatly from the daily bul-letins and avalanche warnings. As a non-profit, the organization’s funds

come from a variety of sources and vary from year to year."

The Trust’s commitment includes $100,000 per year for two years for ongoing activities, such as the Public Avalanche Warning Ser-vice, Avalanche Canada’s training courses and youth-specific initia-tives.

It also includes a one-time $125,000 grant that will enable the organization to continue develop-

ing its new website and its moun-tain information network, which allows backcountry users to share real-time data and observations from the field.

In addition, this grant will allow Avalanche Canada to make impor-tant information technology pur-chases that will help stabilize its public avalanche warning services and reach a broader base of winter backcountry recreationists.

CHANGE!susceptible children is a recent infection with Streptococcus A bacteria (Strep throat.) This burgeoning, but controversial area of research may yield more insights in future years.

Treatment with antidepres-sant-types of medication plus exposure response prevention therapy – a specific form of cognitive behavioural therapy that features gradual exposure to the issue causing the obses-sive thoughts and compulsions — has been shown to have suc-cess with some individuals. Left untreated, however, OCD can be very debilitating. The longer the OCD goes on, the harder it is to

treat. Again, if you are worried

about possible signs of OCD in your child, see your fam-ily doctor or the Ministry of Children and Family Devel-opment CYMH clinic in your region. They may refer your child to specialized services, such as psychiatric services or the specialized OCD program at BC Children’s Hospital. For more information, see ocdbc.ca, kelthymentalhealth.ca or the OCD pages at cmha.ca

Next column, we will talk about Bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia.

Dr. David Smith is an ado-lescent and adult psychiatrist

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.

Dave Williams

With deep sorrow we announce the passing of Mr. David Lee Williams at Mt. Cartier Court Extended Care, Revelstoke on Saturday, February 28, 2015 at the age of 74 years. A Celebration and Honouring of Life will be held at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Revelstoke on Thursday afternoon, March 26th at 2 pm with Reverend Dan Meakes officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Mt. Cartier Court Extended Care Foundation, Bag 5000, Revelstoke, B.C. V0E 2S0 or to the charity of one’s choice in memory of Dave.

Born on June 26, 1940 in Dodsland, Saskatchewan, Dave grew up in the communities of Kerrobert and Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan prior to his move to Revelstoke in the late 1960’s. Dave’s life was one of adventure. He was an avid historian and a man engaged in our community. He was an accomplished mural artist and sign painter, commercial scuba diver and surveyor, a life-long writer, story teller, model-maker and cartoonist. He was a compassionate man, who also had a superb sense of humour. Dave was involved with the Cadets and Scouts in Meadow Lake and Revelstoke, assisting with their activities and training. He loved to fly, having earned his small aircraft pilot license in his late teens. He also enjoyed riding his motorbikes and teaching others to ride. Dave’s imagination developed his many talents to the fullest and put them to use as an engineer-technician at CP Rail Revelstoke Division and especially during his decades of employment at Three-Valley Gap, where he felt as though with family.

Dave was predeceased by his parents Walter and Jean and step mother Romona, and his father and mother-in-law, Tom and Harriet Chase. He is survived by his loving wife Miriam of Revelstoke; step-daughter Elizabeth (Keith) Hollingsworth of Barrhead, Alberta and their children: Rylan, Justin, Morgan and Samantha; Aunt Ferne Vincent of Outlook, Saskatchewan and Uncle Esmond Allcock of Kerrobert, Saskatchewan as well as many cousins.

His family extends heart-felt thanks to all in the medical community who helped Dave through his years in care. Especially during his last weeks, doctors, hospital staff and Mt. Cartier Court, you gave extraordinary care to Dave, with all compassion possible. We thank you.

Messages of condolence may be sent to the family by visiting Dave’s obituary notice at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com

Cremation arrangements are in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.

Delores (Dolly) AnnBrown (nee Gertzen)

November 22, 1958-February 26, 2015

Passed away peacefully following a courageous battle with cancer. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Paul, son Cody and daughter

Bethany. She is survived by father George and mother Ann, who was her constant companion during her illness, staying by her side until the end; sister Audrey (Jim, Jasmine, Madeline and Katie); brother Scott (Robert and Sarah); sister Angela (Derrick, Caleb, Nicole and Joel); brother -in-law Colin (Aaron, Kimberley, Lindsey and Melanie); sister-in-law Barb (Greg, Christine and Michelle).

Dolly was born in Calgary and in 1965 moved with her parents to Revelstoke where she grew up. She worked at the Royal Bank for approximately 10 years where she met her husband Paul. Married on August 11, 1990, they had two beautiful children Cody (19) and Bethany (17). She was an extraordinary wife, mother and home-school teacher who devoted her life to the well-being of her family. She enjoyed being outdoors with her family, especially camping at Parksville. She also loved to travel, in particular to Maui where she ran the marathon, finishing first in her age group.

Dolly was a friend, mentor, advocate and motivator who had great determination and courage. Unselfish and generous, she will be remembered for the many lives she touched and the friendships she made along the way. She had a passion for running, putting in numerous miles with her close friends Debbie, Pauline, Robin and Gayla from the Ladysmith Striders. A woman of faith and a great believer in Jesus, Dolly finished her marathon of life to claim her victory in the loving arms of her Lord and Saviour.

The family wishes to extend their sincere appreciation to the amazing staff and volunteers at the Patient Care Centre on the 8th floor South at the Royal Jubilee Hospital.
