Lawn signs are posted up and down Ninth Street to remind people to slow down. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Death prompts call to slow down

Dean Pratico was known for chasing down and yelling at peo-ple speeding through the school zone on Ninth Street, but he wasn't alone amongst his neighbours.

"I've walked in front of cars more times than I can tell you because people are speeding. All of us do it," said Sandra Davis. "There's a few of us that are rabid and Dean was one."

Davis, who lived near Pratico on Ninth Street, said there are fre-quent issues with people speed-ing through the school zone along their road. The street runs along-side Queen Elizabeth Park, a park that is very popular with families, and there are two schools nearby.

"When people speed down this street, they tend to not go 40 or 50, they tend to go 70 or 80," said Davis. "Those people in this neighbourhood with kids, I've seen so many close calls. The little ones in the playground, they come screaming out on to the road with-out even looking. It was a matter of time before someone got hit,

just not in this matter."Ninth Street is a school zone

with a posted speed limit of 30 kilometres per hour. There are signs on Ninth east of Vernon Avenue and on Mackenzie Ave-nue heading towards the schools. There are more lawn signs placed along the street reminding people there are kids playing and to slow down.

Davis said she has raised the matter with the City of Revel-stoke and Mayor David Raven in the past. She said she was told that when the new schools were being proposed, traffic calming measures were being planned for Ninth.

Mike Thomas, the city's direc-tor of engineering and develop-ment, said he hasn't seen any evi-dence of plans for traffic calming on Ninth Street, nor was it an issue that had come across his desk.

"I do have a meeting coming up with the school district to dis-cuss pedestrian and children safety along that corridor, and certainly traffic calming is one of the things we'll be talking about, especially the intersection for Begbie View

Elementary," he told the Times Review. "In terms of formalized traffic calming, the city doesn't have a formalized policy at this stage."

Mike Hooker, the superinten-dent of the Revelstoke School Dis-trict, said he hadn't heard any con-cerns about speeding on Ninth Street. He said concerns were more around the movement of children to and from the schools.

Davis said the biggest problem was from people driving to and from the arena. She has accosted hockey moms, she said. "It's harder to get adults to slow down."

Thomas said traffic calming measures like chicanes or speed bumps could be put in place, but the pros and cons would have to be looked at. While they can help slow people down, they also pres-ent problems, such as noise and snow clearing issues.

"There's things that we can do, it's just whether they're the right things to do, it's what we need to work out," said Thomas. "We don't want to limit access, we just want to control the speed."

B.C.'s school district negotia-tors have served notice that they will bill the teachers' union for June employee benefit premiums if a contract settlement isn't reached by the end of the school year.

The cost of benefit premiums for the 40,000 members of the B.C. Teachers' Federation is esti-mated at about $5 million a month. It would be paid by the employer only if a contract settlement is rat-ified by union members by the end of June, and if the BCTF does not go out on a full-scale strike by that time.

Peter Cameron, chief negoti-ator for the B.C. Public School Employers' Association (BCP-SEA), proposed the benefit charge as a new strategy to respond to the

BCTF's multi-stage strike action that began April 23. Teachers are refusing out-of-class supervision and communication with adminis-tration as the first phase.

B.C.'s Labour Relations Act allows for the transfer of bene-fit costs to unions that withdraw services, but Cameron said it has never been used in a teacher dis-pute before.

BCTF president Jim Iker said last week he considers the transfer of benefit costs to be "retaliatory and punitive" at a time when teach-ers are still providing full class-room service and meeting with parents.

BCPSEA also notified the union that a year-end "administrative day" set for June 27 will be can-celled unless the dispute is settled. Teachers would lose a day's pay.

The second phase of the BCTF

plan is rotating one-day strikes in B.C.'s 60 school districts, which could begin at any time. Phase three, a full-scale strike, would require another vote by BCTF members.

In a memo to school board chairs and superintendents Wednesday, BCPSEA interim CEO Mike Roberts said there has been "no recent progress at the bar-gaining table and no indication from the union that it is willing to significantly compromise on any of its current demands."

Roberts reiterated BCPSEA's position that its wage offer of 6.5% over six years is consistent with other wage settlements for pro-vincial employees. The BCTF is seeking wage and cost-of-living increases estimated at 13.5% over three years.

Dean Pratico’s family and friends remember the “gentle giant”

Dean Pratico lived a life of adventure that began when he was young. He drove across Canada, lived on the beach in Mexico, backpacked across Europe, sailed across the Caribbean, and made trips to Thailand and China.

He was obsessed with cars, something that would last his entire life.

“I lost him one time and I found him downtown in a car,” said his mother Marie. “He was pretending he was driving.”

I spoke to Marie at her home last Friday, less than a week after her son had passed away at the age of 55, the result of an altercation that police are still investigating. Joining us were Dean’s wife, Ping, and daugh-ter, Pearl. They were coming to terms with the terrible tragedy, each in their own places — Ping shedding the most tears, Pearl showing composure beyond her years, and Marie somewhere in between.

“I called him my one in a million dad,” said Pearl. “He was a million things into one dad.”

Dean was born on Dec. 26, 1958, the son of Vince and Marie Pratico. Marie showed me a photo album Dean’s sister Julie made for him on his 40th birthday. It showed him as a baby, then growing up through kindergarten, his first commu-nion, onwards through school, on the road and at work. There were photos of him hiking Mt. Begbie, skiing in the moun-tains, on the beach in Mexico and everywhere else.

The album began with a poem Julie wrote that captured his adventurous spirit.

“Where he could be now they all would say…was a common phrase heard through-out the day,” she wrote. “And how could a child bring such

joy.”Dean’s biggest love when

he was young was hockey. He was good, and he played Junior hockey for the Merritt Centen-nials. That almost didn’t hap-pen when he was involved in a serious car crash as a teenager.

“They thought he would never walk again but he came back,” said Marie.

Dean would spend what time he could in the mountains, hiking into remote areas with his friends, said Marie.

He worked as a logger and at the dam. At the insistence of his father, he took a refrigeration course that he never finished. He worked as a bartender in Calgary and managed a Mox-ie’s restaurant before com-ing back to Revelstoke, where he bought and ran the Burger Junction. He worked there until his rheumatoid arthritis forced him to go on disability.

“He liked nice things. That frustrated him, his arthritis,” said Marie. “He was a frus-trated man because he couldn’t do the things he wanted to do. He didn’t want to be on a dis-ability. It killed him.”

A decade ago Dean met his wife Ping online. He made a trip to China to visit her. On the second trip, for Ping’s sister’s wedding, he asked her father if he could marry her. The father was hesitant to let her daughter marry this man from Canada.

“Dean told my dad we had best country and nice fam-ily, just like your family,” said Ping. He won him over.

On his third trip to China in early 2005 Dean and Ping got married. He gave her a photo album of his family so she would know who she would be meeting in Canada

“Dean cried. That was the first time I see Dean cry,” she said. “I live here 10 years, I never see him cry — just this time.”

They lived in China together

for 1.5 years and he would bring her flowers at work. They had a daughter, Pearl, and then they moved to Revelstoke after Dean’s father, Vince, passed away.

Their marriage wasn’t always easy.

“In our 10 years we had good times, we had bad times. We hate each other, we love each other,” said Ping. “It’s a very hard time because these last two weeks he gave so much to remember. He was a good husband.”

Pearl said Dean gave her advice, comfort and confi-dence. “He would never give up on me,” she said.

“He would always make me try harder and he would say that the people who make it get the things that they want in life, and the people who don’t make it are the people who don’t get the special memories in life.”

On Ninth Street, near the spot where Pratico’s death happened, several bouquets of flowers were placed in the fence alongside Queen Eliz-abeth Park. There was a card signed by the Davis family.

“The two words that my husband uses and has always used to describe Dean is ‘gen-tle giant,’ which is why all of this is so unbelievable,” said neighbour and friend Sandra Davis.

She called him a “very kind, very sweet man.”

“My most vivid memory of him is him walking hand in hand with his daughter,” he said. “He always would take his daughter’s little pur-ple Dora backpack and sling it over his shoulder.”

Marie said that even though Dean traveled a lot, Revelstoke was always his home and the place he would come back to.

“He had a love of people, Revelstoke and the mountains,” she said. “He loved life and he loved people.”

A man accused of killing his wife by pushing her off a boat at a lake near Revelstoke is scheduled to stand trial in January of 2015.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Meiklem has set aside six months for Peter Beckett’s trial by jury on charges of first-degree murder, counselling to commit murder and obstruction of justice.

If it lasts as long as it is sched-

uled, the trial will mark one of the longest in recent memory at the Kamloops Law Courts.

Beckett, a native New Zea-lander and a massive man who dwarfs sheriffs and lawyers in the courtroom, is a former alderman

January trial for man accused of drowning his wife at Shelter Bay

in that country.It’s been 32 months since he was

arrested and charged with his wife’s murder.

The Crown alleges he killed Laura Letts-Beckett, 50, by pushing her off a boat at Shelter Bay, south of Revel-stoke, in 2010.

He was arrested a year later.Police also believe Beckett plot-

ted to kill five witnesses — including Letts-Beckett’s parents, an RCMP ser-geant and an Alberta lawyer — while behind bars.

Beckett has spent his time at Kam-loops Regional Correctional Centre, where he said he is locked up 22 hours a day.

There, he has been filing applica-tions alleging abuse of process, bias by police and court officials and fail-ure of Crown to disclose documents.

Meiklem recently handed down a ruling that allowed Beckett access to the large majority of paper documents he sought.

The Crown was planning to give him electronic access, but Beckett complained he was not comfortable with technology and accused officials with tampering with electronic docu-ments.

“I’ve read your decision,” he told Meiklem on Monday, April 28.

“[The words] ‘surprising,’ ‘credu-lous’, ‘inaccurate’ and ‘biased’ come to mind,” Beckett complained.

Meiklem replied: “I thought the decision was in your favour, more or less.”

Beckett is now appealing some decisions made on his applications, but Meiklem warned that won’t delay trial.

“You haven’t been diligent on your defence,” Meiklem said.

“You’ve been diligent on the offen-sive side.”

Beckett ordered to return computer drive

Beckett was ordered to return a computer hard drive he managed to smuggle out of Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre.

A B.C. Supreme Court Justice made the ruling on Tuesday, April 29, as part of a lengthy disclosure applica-tion by Beckett.

Beckett filed an application ask-ing the Crown to provide him 33,000 pages of disclosure documents rather than reading them via computer files.

He earlier received DVDs and a computer hard drive with the Crown disclosure documents, which would ordinarily be handled by his lawyer.

But, he smuggled them out of jail and they remain missing.

“Mr. Beckett has admitted to send-ing the e-disclosure media [DVDs and computer hard drive] out of KRCC and he does not have it at this time,” Meiklem said in a written decision released on Tuesday, April 29.

“He refuses to say why or to whom, except to say it is ‘in a safe place.’”

Meiklem ordered Beckett to return the missing DVDs and hardware to the Crown.

“He has control over the person who possesses it and that person has the capacity to return it to the Crown,” Meiklem wrote.

Once Beckett returns the drive and DVDs to prosecutors, Meiklem said the Crown will provide him new e-dis-closure, along with about 500 pages of paper documents needed to conduct his defence.

Revelstoke to get coroner

The BC Coroners Service is hir-ing in Revelstoke, a move that will hopefully fill a void that has been missing in the community for a number of years.

“We can tell you we’re seeking a suitable person to serve in the cor-oner’s position just to service Rev-elstoke,” said Barb McLintock, a spokesperson for the coroners ser-vice. “We don’t want to get too enthusiastic because in many of the smaller communities we do find that it takes time to find the right per-son and get them trained. There are unique staffing, training and logisti-cal challenges.”

Revelstoke has been without a coroner for years, and instead the service has been provided by Tim Loader out of Golden. Often that has led to extensive delays in the coroner reaching the scene of an accident, delaying investigations.

Last year, McLintock said Revel-stoke was without a coroner because there wasn’t enough cases here to warrant hiring one. She said a change in the way staffing is deter-mined has meant they are now seek-ing applications for a coroner based out of Revelstoke.

“We like to provide communities with the best service we can if we can find a way to make it work,” she said.

Government of British Columbia and Xplornet Partner to Bring Affordable High-Speed to Remote B.C. Residents.

Xplornet Communications Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with the government of British Columbia to help bridge the urban/rural digital divide in rural and remote British Columbia.

The initiative is a multi-year program to make Internet connectivity more affordable in rural and remote areas where installation costs can be high.

The program will provide a subsidy of up to $250, or half of the cost of an installation of broadband equipment to new residential and business customers within Xplornet’s industry leading 4G rural broadband satellite footprint. This will significantly reduce the costs of installation, costs that may have been a barrier to the adoption of high-speed Internet.

“The government of British Columbia deserves significant praise for a program that helps break down one of the last barriers to full connectivity in the province – namely the high cost of broadband installation in remote parts of BC. Now, even the most remote British Columbians can affordably benefit from the transformative power of high-speed Internet to connect them to the global economy,” said Xplornet President Allison Lenehan.

Xplornet is the country’s leading rural broadband Internet provider and takes pride in connecting over 200,000 Canadians to the world. The commitment to offering every Canadian reliable, affordable and fast Internet is shared by an ever-expanding network of over 450 local dealers, including 60 in British Columbia alone.

For more information about Xplornet high-speed Internet and how you may benefit from the British Columbia Broadband Satellite Initiative, visit xplornet.com or call 855-494-1079. For complete details on the British Columbia Broadband Initiative please visit www.gov.bc.ca/bcbroadbandsatellite.

Minister Bill Bennett is deny-ing any involvement in the deci-sion to remove the conservation officer position from Revelstoke.

Bennett was implicated in the decision after documents received through a freedom of information request indicated he gave approval for the position to be moved from the community.

"Lori just heard back from the Minister’s office and Minis-ter Bennett is supportive of mov-ing the position in Revelstoke," wrote Danielle Jmieff, the divi-sion issues manager for BC Parks and the Conservation Officer Service (COS), in an e-mail.

The e-mail was sent to Doug Forsdick, the chief superinten-dent of the COS. Lori is likely Lori Halls, the assistant deputy minister for BC Parks and the COS.

The documents were obtained through a freedom of information request and provided to the Times Review by Columbia River-Rev-elstoke MLA Norm Macdonald (NDP).

“Input from the community of Revelstoke was neither asked for nor included in the decision to remove Revelstoke’s conserva-tion officer. Instead, the ministry was more interested in consulting

with Bill Bennett, the MLA for Kootenay East, who supported this very serious cut to the com-munity,” said Macdonald, in a news release. "It is beyond ridic-ulous that the way decisions are made on such important issues is for an entire ministry of pro-fessionals to await the final word of a guy who knows absolutely nothing about the conservation service or the community of Rev-elstoke.”

Bennett responded by call-ing the accusation "inaccurate" and "just not true." He said as the lone government MLA in the Kootenays, he was notified about the decision as he often is when matters come up regarding the region, but that was the extent of his involvement.

"It's not my ministry, it's not my riding. I'm not in a position, nor do I have the authority or the expertise to sign off on this deci-sion or post a decision," he told the Times Review. "Until today, I hadn't even remembered this issue coming across my desk. I'm responsible for energy and mines, I'm responsible for core review. I don't have the time or the interest to be involved in all of my colleagues decisions."

Revelstoke lost its conserva-tion officer in December when Adam Christie retired and his position was transferred to

Golden. The move has been widely condemned by local stake-holders, who fear it will lead to increased poaching, human-wild-life conflict and other violations.

Much of the information obtained in the FoI request is redacted and little is revealed about the conservation officer decision. The COS is part of the Ministry of the Environment, whose minister is MLA Mary Polak.

The 87-page response to the request for access to information contain letters to the Ministry of the Environment from Mac-donald, Revelstoke Bear Aware and the Revelstoke Rod and Gun Club that have already been made public; as well as numer-ous internal e-mails discussing how to communicate the deci-sion to the public and respond to media requests.

The response does contain sta-tistics on response calls in Rev-elstoke, Golden and Invermere. The data shows there were fewer calls to the COS in Revelstoke than in Golden and Invermere, but any analysis of the infor-mation, or justification for the decision is not included. Doz-ens of pages are redacted, citing clauses in the Freedom of Infor-mation and Protection of Privacy Act that allow information to be withheld.

In a letter to the Times Review sent in January, Polak said they have two officers in Golden and two in Invermere, “would pro-vide the best level of service to the entire [Columbia Kootenay] zone.

“The review was based on location and types of complaints and calls received through the region, and took into consider-ation the safety and wellbeing of our officers,” Polak wrote.

Editor,Re: A familiar face returns to the Times

Review, from the Apr. 23, 2014, issue of the Times Review.

Council read your comments in the Rev-elstoke Times Review and thought that maybe in the short three months you were here you misconstrued our quiet and non-confrontational way of working together as an indication that we are a sleepy little Vil-lage and not interested in growth or tour-ism.

On the contrary, we welcome it. The Development Board, Chamber of Com-merce and Village have been working together to try and make this happen. We would love to have industry and business move into our town and provide more jobs and � ll our schools.

We do want our Revelstoke neighbours to know that we are interested in tourism and welcome them to our hot springs. We recently renewed our commitment to the Nakusp Hot Springs and built a brand new, award winning bridge up at the hot springs. We also purchased the Cedar Chalets as we saw an opportunity to market the Nakusp Hot Springs as a package and are in the process of upgrading the units. In fact, our tourism has grown with these improve-ments.

It is not really appropriate to compare Nakusp and Revelstoke when you consider the amount of property tax collected in Nakusp is below $900,000 whereas in Rev-elstoke it is more than $9,000,000.

Contrary to your comment that we do a minimum amount of work and do not take

on challenges – in the past couple of years, we have upgraded our water and sewer system so that we can handle new devel-opment, upgraded our arena and built an emergency services building that houses our � re dept., ambulance, search and res-cue and regional training centre.

One comment that I continually hear from visitors to our community is how clean Nakusp is, how well our streets are plowed(in the winter), our beautiful walk-way and gardens and how amazed they are at the services provided in such a small community.

We are proud of our community and welcome business and visitors.

Karen Hamling, Mayor of Nakusp

Everyone who caught the perfor-mance of Deck at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre on Friday, Apr. 25, came away impressed by Lucas Myers’ one-man perfor-mance. During the play, he actu-ally had six audience members come out on stage and build a deck. The materials for the deck were donated by RONA, and they weren’t just stage props. After the show, the deck was brought to the Community Connections’ group home on Eighth Street. It is pictured here with staff, residents, Revelstoke Arts Council executive director Gary Pendergast, and RONA’s Steve Smith.

ROXY CLOSURE feud over tourism funding goes Revelstoke-viral as theatre shuts doors - 12

The Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program is being urged to re-

think the way it manages the Arrow Lakes fishery, with a greater focus

on restoring wild spawning streams over operating artificial spawning

channels.The advice came from a meeting in Nakusp last Monday, Mar. 31,

where four biologists from the FWCP made presentations about the

state of the fishery. They spoke about the nutrient restoration program

and presented charts on the number of people fishing and the fish being

caught. They spoke about the Hill Creek Spawning Channel and about

what the program plans on doing in the future.

What they heard back is that they need to re-think and re-focus their

efforts, because what they’re doing doesn’t seem to be working. 

The FWCP presentation focused on three things — the nutrient res-

toration program, the angler survey, and the Hill Creek spawning chan-

nel. Here’s a look at all three, followed by the feedback they received.

NutrieNt restoratioN progr

am

Marley Bassett, a fish biologist, spoke about the nutrient restoration

program.  It started in 1998 with the aim of adding phosphorous to the

Arrow Lakes reservoir to improve the food web from the bottom up, she

explained. Phytoplankton eat phosphorous, zooplankton eat phytoplank-

ton, kokanee eat zooplankton and the bigger fish eat kokanee. The res-

ervoir is monitored to show how the phosphorous is moving up through

the food web.

Bassett told the group that phosphorous levels in the reservoir were

remaining steady, indicating the nutrients are moving up through the

food web.

“In general, since the nutrient restoration project is going on, we’ve

had a three-fold increase in biomass for kokanee, but unfortunately the

last few years have not been so great,” she said.

The chart she presented showed a huge increase in kokanee in the

first five years of the nutrient restoration program, followed by a general

decline since then.

“Same as the other guys, we see these cycles. It’s a bit concerting, but

one thing that’s happened in 2013 that changed the pace a little bit, is we

see an increase in the size,” she said. “Bigger fish is good, it means bet-

Treehouse hotel concept

for Revelstoke resort area

These imageis depict a series of treehouse accommodations available at Treehotel, a destination resort near Lulea,

Sweden. The spa-like accommodation features ultra-contemporary interior and exterior design based in familiar

nature settings. It’s billed as a place to rejuvenate and recuperate in nature. In Revelstoke, city council will consider

an annexation proposal for an 18-acre lot located in the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District at the base of Revel-

stoke Mountain Resort. The owner plans to develop a treehouse destination accommodation very similar to this one.

However, the plans are very preliminary, and will require annexation, city services and zoning changes.

Photos via Treehotel Sweden

The owners of an 18-acre prop-

erty adjacent to the base of Revel-

stoke Mountain Resort are propos-

ing a destination treehouse-style

accommodation for the property.

David Evans and Shelley Sharpe

want to build an approximately

25-unit tree-hotel, which features

low-impact, eco-accommodations

on the treed property. They would be

served by a central lodge with a res-

taurant and other amenities.

In an interview with the Times

Review, Evans emphasized they are

at very preliminary stages of the pro-

posal, starting with an annexation

request that is before Revelstoke

We will review:

• industry insights, business and product types

• trends and common entrepreneurial requirements, opportunities & much more!

Do you want to be an entrepreneur? Join a free Me Inc. workshop in your community for the latest start-up tips.

Beginning May 19, 2014, busi-nesses that supply packaging and printed paper to B.C. residents will be responsible for collecting and managing these materials so they can be recycled. MultiMa-terial BC (MMBC), a non-profit organization working on behalf of these businesses, will be responsi-ble for residential recycling pro-grams in many areas across B.C., either directly or by working with local governments.

Through MMBC's packaging

and printed paper recycling pro-gram, Revelstoke residents will continue to receive biweekly recy-cling pick up of blue bags. Addi-tional products being collected in the curbside program include:

— Plastic milk jugs, milk and other gable cartons, hot and cold paper beverage cups, aluminum foil packaging, and plant pots.

— Glass will continue to be recycled at the depot.

— Plastic film packaging will no longer be collected in curbside collection, but will be collected at the depot beginning Jan. 1, 2015, along with foam containers and

foam packaging.For a full list of what is

accepted for recycling visit recy-clinginbc.ca or the city website at revelstoke.ca

In discussing these changes, Mike Thomas, the city's Director of Engineering and Development, indicated that, "Under the new regulations, residents will have access to curbside recycling ser-vices at the lowest possible cost, with municipal recycling fees dropping to zero by 2015."

The City of Revelstoke will continue to provide recycling collection services for the res-

idents of Revelstoke, on behalf of MMBC, until the end of 2014. In January 2015 MMBC will assume full responsibility for the contract-ing of recycling collection in Rev-elstoke. The current $40 annual cost of recycling will be reduced to $20 on the City of Revelstoke 2014 property tax notice and fur-ther reduced to zero in 2015.

Mayor David Raven, in com-menting on this initiative stated, "The city appreciates the leader-

ship and innovation of BRESCO working with the city and regional district to initiate curb side recy-cling in Revelstoke. Over the last three years over 1,000 tons of recyclable material has been diverted from the landfill with all of the environmental and eco-nomic benefits.

“The city looks forward to working with MMBC and their contractors to continue this suc-cess story.”

Shane Volpatti (left) and Peter Bernacki (right) were at the Revelstoke Credit Union last week while RCU CEO Roberta Bobicki placed $500 in a trust fund for Chris Miller. Miller had a stroke in January and he has been hospitalized ever since. A trust fund was set up at the credit union to help out his wife Joanne Lachance and daughter Regan while he recovers. Miller, who worked as an electrician with Canyon Industrial, was a very active snowmobiler and mountain biker. He is facing a lengthy recovery, friends say. To contribute to the Chris Miller Trust Fund, head to the Revelstoke Credit Union and place a donation in account 334459. As of last week, there was $1,350 in the account, including the $500 from the credit union. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review

Rotary Casino NightThe Rotary Casino Night on Saturday, May 3, was a success, with about 100 tickets sold for dinner and more for the casino. Most of the action was centred around the six black jack tables, which stayed busy throughout the night. There was also several big wheels, live music by The Rev, and a high-stakes Texas Hold’em tournament in the back. The event raised money for new playground equipment in Kovach Park.

Rain on market day It wasn’t a great debut for the Revelstoke Farm & Craft Market on Saturday. Shoppers and vendors were in short supply due to the torrential rain, howling winds and cold temperatures that day. Or maybe it was due to the online controversy surrounding Kurt’s Sausages. There are legitimate reasons for Kurt’s to not be part of the market, but the executive has done a poor job communicating its decisions. The market wasn’t the only event hampered by the weather — the Relay for Life kick off party and talent show that was supposed to take place on First Street was cancelled after the winds started to knock down the stage. By 11 a.m., organizers were taking things down. The Talent Show qualification round will now take place during the Relay for Life, which is on Sunday, June 8. 1. Chic Sharp huddles under a blanket while he sells copies of his children’s book series. 2. Kiel Mason and Jenna Bauche do their shopping from Wild Flight Farm. 3. Kelly Roberts was back selling her baked goods. 4. Gay Witowski was packing up early due to the low crowds at Saturday’s market. She sells intarsia products — a technique of interlaying pieces of wood to create images. 5. Meanwhile, down at the arena, the North Columbia Environmental Society held its first ever bike swap fundraiser. The swap raised $1,380 for the NCES.

Let’s bring back play this summer Spring is finally here and with it, the

sounds of laughter and kids playing are in the air once again. Bike rides, shooting hoops and playground fun are just some of the ways kids get active in the spring and summer months.

It’s a good thing too, because recent reports show that Canadian kids just aren’t getting enough exercise. According to the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology, kids should get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigor-ous physical activity every single day.

Unfortunately, for many children that sim-ply isn’t the case.

This spring and summer, consider enroll-ing your child in an organized sport or phys-ical activity, such as soccer, baseball, swim-ming or cricket. Freida Rubletz, Regional Manager, Jumpstart Programs Greater Toronto Area, Canadian Tire Jumpstart, explains that in addition to the physical bene-fits, organized play also helps to:

• Increase self esteem and self confidence• Develop leadership skills

• Improve academic performance• Teach healthy lifestyle habits“As important as physical activity is for

our young people, the reality is that 1 in 3 families in Canada can’t afford to enrol their kids in organized sports or physical activ-ity programs,” continued Rubletz. “Charities like Jumpstart remove some of those financial pressures so all kids can have the opportunity to get in the game.”

Help bring back play in your community this May by supporting the Jumpstart Red Ball campaign. Head into your local Cana-dian Tire, Mark’s, Sport Chek, Atmosphere or National Sports store and donate $2 in exchange for your own Jumpstart Red Ball, representing the gift of play you are giving to a deserving child. One hundred per cent of your donation helps kids in your community. To learn more about how Jumpstart is making an impact in your community or to make a donation, visit canadiantire.ca/jumpstart.

New owner turns Chantilly into Big Mountain Kitchen & Linen

Business Beat is a column that was started by former Times Review editor Aaron Orlando. I’ve decided to take it over, as I like the idea of having a column to highlight good business news. This is where you’ll read about new owners, expanding businesses and other news about existing businesses in Revelstoke. If you have news for me, e-mail edi-tor@revelstoketimesreview.com or call 250-837-4667.

Since taking over Chantilly Kitchen, Bed and Bath at the start of the year, new owner

Nicole Cherlet has been slowly putting her mark on the Macken-zie Avenue Store. There’s been

changes to the layout, but the big-gest one came last week when – after closing for three days – she re-opened the store with a new name — Big Mountain Kitchen & Linen.

Cherlet worked at the store for three years under former owner Deannie Ottenbreit. Last year she began managing the store and took over purchasing. Then, with the backing of Community Futures,

she was able to purchase the busi-ness outright.

“It was always part of the plan that if everything went well it might be something I’d be interested in taking over,” said Cherlet. “Last year I was managing and took over purchasing, so I already put my stamp on the business.”

What is her stamp? Nicole’s hus-band Glen is a chef and they are

both big foodies. They like to cook from scratch, so you’ll find the tools needed to do that. As a result, Big Mountain has a greater focus on cookware and prepware, while the dinnerware and glassware has been moved to the back of the store.

“We both really like food. We like to play with the toys and have the right tools,” said Cherlet. “The focus is more now on the cookware, on the prep gadgets, the cast iron — things like that.”

Their own kitchen has been slowly upgraded from Thrift Store finds to more expensive items that work better and last longer.

“It was a nice thing as I started working here to replace things in the house and having them still be working now,” she said. “It’s nice to be upgrading instead of con-stantly replacing things.”

Big Mountain also carries a big-ger selection of bedroom and bath-room products than before; the aim being people will find what they want there and not have to order online or go out of town. There’s five different lines of sheets that come in different sizes and a vari-ety of colours.

“I’ve got five different lines of sheets. I’ve got all sizes, a good variety of colours,” said Cherlet. “Same thing with bathroom. I’ve updated all the accessories. I’ve got three different lines of towels, a nice selection of bathmats, huge selection of shower curtains — the things that seem to be important to people.”

Cherlet makes sure to buy prod-ucts from ethical manufacturers, saying she makes sure what she sells doesn’t come from places that exploits workers.

She plans to start an online store, with a wedding registry, and she wants to work with other businesses in town so they cross-promote each other rather than compete.

“Let’s all work together and bring Revelstoke what everyone needs,” she said. “Keep everyone shopping here instead of having to go elsewhere.”

shop have been bought out by two store employees, giving the Rev-elstoke store entirely local own-ership.

“I think having three own-ers all in town will really make a difference,” said Isaac Becker, Skookum’s manager for the past two years and new part-owner. “We’re going to be here full-time. We’re able to do stuff in the com-munity and run the shop.”

Skookum opened in Revel-stoke in 2007 when Salmon Arm store owners bought up High Country Cycle. Two years ago, Mike Gravelle, who had moved here from Whistler, bought a share in the store alongside the two Salmon Arm owners.

Now, Becker and Tyler Brad-bury have bought out the Salmon Arm group, giving Skookum an entirely local ownership.

Becker’s past includes work-ing retail in Victoria and at Mount Washington. He spent six years as a landscaper before moving to Revelstoke and getting back into retail. Bradbury (who was on vacation last week) spent 10 years as a sales rep for a major ski com-pany before joining Skookum.

“He’s coming from the other side of the shop, which is a very important role because he knows how to wheel and deal and get what we need so we can grow,” said Gravelle.

Gravelle said having three owners who live here will give the store a bigger presence in the community.

“It’s important to get out there and communicate and show your face,” he said. “Now that I have two partners that can hold down the store while I go outside, that makes a big difference.

“It’s a small town, just going for coffee you can make some sales.”

They don’t have any major plans for the store – the name is staying the same – but they are making small changes, like add-

ing a change room. A big focus will be on improving tech sup-port, said Gravelle.

“We’re going to work hard on our tech support because Revel-stokians are pretty hard on their gear,” he said. “We need to be able to fix it on site. No more sending it away to Toronto of Vancouver to get fixed.”

They will be sharing the duties of running the store, with each one focusing on specific areas. Becker does a lot of the graphic design and web work. Bradbury will focus more on the purchas-ing and financial side. Gravelle will be getting out in the commu-nity more.

“We’re all doing the cus-tomer thing — that’s what we’re focused on,” said Becker. “The front line staff is going to be very key for sure.”

StokeFM MoveS downtown

StokeFM has moved off the mountain into downtown Revelstoke, with a new stu-

dio on Second Street East that manager Scott Duke hopes will give the station more visibility.

“It’s going to be a better loca-tion for people to come to,” he said. “We’ve had more visi-tors here in 12 days than the last three or four months. That’s good because you want people to come in and talk on the radio, talk about their events.”

The studio was started in the basement of Duke’s home on CPR Hill. It is now located upstairs at 111 Second St. East, next door to Benoit’s Wine Bar (which closed down at the end of last month). It shares an office with Revelstoke Property Ser-vices, the property management company Duke owns with his girlfriend Eve Northmore.

The move came because they needed more office space for the property management company.

“StokeFM tagged along,” said Duke.

StokeFM has grown steadily since it was launched in late 2011. Duke said the station has 140 partner businesses and its advertising has been almost com-pletely sold out for the past eight months.

Short term plans involve branding the new space.

“Beyond that we’re focusing on a digital push. For the next five, six months that’s our focus, to expand the brand out of town,” said Duke. “We’re never going to expand that far with our terrestrial reach because we can only broad-cast to Revelstoke, but online we can go much further.”

He hopes to get online listen-ership up to 100 people (it was at 34 when I dropped by the studio), but the ultimate goal is 1,000.

“If we get people listening online and develop an online community, we can draw people to our town using the radio sta-tion,” he said. “It can be another avenue of drawing people to Rev-elstoke.”

It may be difficult to imag-ine, but at one time the land that occupies the Revelstoke Air-port was home to a farm large enough to supply produce to all of the local hotels.

Now part of the airport marsh, Revelstoke Museum curator Cathy English spoke about the Samuel Crowle Farm, estab-lished in 1886, which at the height of its existence employed 12 people.

English's presentation on the history of the Revelstoke wet-lands was part of the North Columbia Environmental Soci-ety's effort to raise awareness about the airport marsh.

The event, held at the Rev-elstoke Visual Art Centre this past Friday, had all the fixings of a usual gallery opening —- work by local artists occupied space on the walls and attendees mingled, socializing with one

another, enjoying a glass of wine or a few appetizers on offer.

A slide show of local photog-raphy showcased the Revelstoke Wetlands and included work by Keri Knapp, William Eaton, Kip Wiley, Michael Morris, Jackie Morris, Harry Van Oort, Corey Bird, Jen Greenwood and Alex Cooper.

English, who was the first of the speakers to present, began her talk by giving homage to the Sinixt Nation whose territories included the areas around Rev-elstoke. “You can't talk about the history of the valley with-out noting it was used by First Nations," she said. "The Sinixt Nation used the Columbia River. I think that's something we have to bear in mind, settlers didn't come here not finding people here."

Her presentation focused on the huge losses that occurred from the creation of the Arrow Lakes reservoir, particularly the farming community of Mount

Cartier. "I think this is one of the real

losses," English said, speaking about the cemetery at Mount Cartier, which was covered by a concrete slab prior to the flood-ing. English said that in some cases, families were able to have buried family members disin-terred and moved to the Rev-elstoke Cemetery, however, in most cases this was simply too expensive.

Retired BC Hydro employee Brian Gadbois said he knows well the impact the flooding had on local farming communi-ties — his family was directly impacted by the reservoir.

"I've seen both sides,” he said. “Definitely this area, the Koote-nays and the Columbias, have received the brunt of energy pro-duction in the province."

Gadbois spoke about the influence Arrow Reservoir has on the wetlands, noting that not all of the areas that were flooded are crown land. He focused on

the mecca of wildlife in the area, including moles, voles, mice, rabbits, eagles, osprey, hawks, wolves, owls, swans and blue heron.

"We're very fortunate to have a colony of these prehistoric birds," Gadbois said of the blue heron.

Gadbois' focus on wildlife in the wetlands was continued dur-ing presentations by Harry Van Oort and Corey Bird, both biol-ogists with Cooper Beauchesne and Associates.

"Airport marsh is a really important place for wildlife in our region," said Van Oort. "A lot of water fowl use this area for migration. There's a whole myr-iad of songbirds that nest in the area."

In fact, a study that will begin this summer will focus on studying marsh bird conser-vation and productivity in Rev-elstoke Reach. Bird’s presen-tation honed in on this upcom-ing study, which will focus on a small number of birds (Sora, Virginia Rail, American Bittern) noted that not a lot of informa-tion is known about these birds.

"We know very little about these species," he said. "We've found a lot of nests, but they didn't seem habitat specific, they seem opportunistic."

While presentations focused on the past and present of the Revelstoke wetlands, regrets from Jean-Marc Laflamme of Jump on Flyaways, Alan Mason from the City of Revelstoke and

Gary Holte from the Colum-bia Shuswap Regional District meant the event was lacking when it came to the future of the area.

Holte, who is the Interim Team Leader, Community Ser-vices for CSRD, did email a let-ter to Amy Clarke of the NCES stating that in 2014, the CSRD intends to complete installation of fencing along airport runway at Revelstoke Airport.

"This will provide a sepa-ration between the public that access the Columbia River flats to enjoy nature and the air-port operations. The CSRD has no plans to expand the airport beyond its current boundaries," the statement said.

The newly-completed Mica Heliskiing lodge perches on a ridge above the Mica Dam, overlooking the Kinbasket reservoir – a

jewel in a crowning achievement done mostly by Revelstokians.

The old lodge was bulldozed on April 5, and just eight months later on Dec. 5, Vic Van Isle delivered a new, 12-bedroom, and nearly 14,000 square-foot luxury lodge.

Mica Heliskiing marketing manager Darryn Shewchuk had high praise for the contractor and small army of subcontractors who built and pol-ished the lodge.

“It’s just absolutely amazing that they could pull off such a high-end luxury building in eight months. There are luxury homes half that size that have taken two years to build.” he said. “It’s unbe-lievable. It’s truly an eighth-wonder of the world.”

The building is certainly not a ski shack. It boasts a massive living area, a media room, a full kitchen, bar and many high tech amenities. There are hot tubs, private views of the reservoir from every room, a full gym, a gourmet kitchen and massage studios.

“The building is ridiculously overbuilt. The walls are all six-inch thick with double matting and double drywall for sound-proo� ng,” Shewchuk said. “The � oors are saw-cut, 12-inch wide timber and all the stone … is all from Mt. Robson.”

Giant � r beams, wooden planked � ooring, nat-ural cedar � nishings, log walls, custom concrete counters, immaculate rock work, sheer glass and engineered lighting design synthesize rustic the cabin feel with modern sheik.

Local artist Tina Lindegaard was handed a $50,000 budget to scout and commission works from local and Kootenay artists, which are featured throughout.

It’s the work of CEI Architecture, who add the lodge to an impressive array of public and private buildings in B.C. including the Chuck Bailey Rec-

reation Centre in Surrey, the Northwest Commu-nity College in Smithers and Jim Pattison Centre of Excellence at Okanagan College. The B.C. com-pany has received many accolades for green and sustainable construction.

“They really got what we were looking to accomplish in keeping the cozy feel of the exist-ing lodge, but really making something that’s mod-ern, state-of-the-art and combining those two ele-ments,” Shewchuk said. “They pulled it off amaz-ingly.”

Behind the natural wood and glass, there’s a high-tech substructure. The media room offers big-screen TVs next to the � replace. Many rooms wire-lessly sync the built-in sound system with your smartphone. The ski room features lockers with built-in drying fans. The room has an overall nega-tive pressure so, “You don’t get that wet boot smell going thorough the whole lodge,” Shewchuk joked.

The � nishings match the modern/rustic mix. The wire-brushed solid � r doors cost in the thousands. Restored metal lamps accentuated the rooms. The luxe linens and light-cancelling drapes welcome you to a dark sleep, and open to a panoramic view in the morning.

Shewchuk wouldn’t disclose the price tag. Mica Heliskiing is a partnership between minority own-ers Dan and Susan McDonald and newer major-ity owner Patrick Callaghan. The McDonald’s are heliskiing veterans who operated Island Lake Lodge near Fernie before moving to Revelstoke and starting Mica. Callaghan is a California-based computer industry veteran and hardcore ski enthu-siast who backed the project.

“It’s one speci� c owner who put the money out of his pocket to build something he wanted to build,” explained Shewchuk. “That being said, he wouldn’t have done it if the company wasn’t pro� t-able. We’re sold out nine or ten months in advance.”

Guest Speaker:Hugo Rampden, Events Organiser

Pianist Sarah Hagen will be teaming up with cellist Rebecca Wenham for a special Mother's Day concert this Sunday.

The show will see the two musicians play a number of classical works by Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann and Vancou-ver composer Jocelyn Morlock.

Based in Vancouver, Hagen has performed to critical acclaim throughout North America and Europe. She has been described as an "outstandingly inventive" pianist with "infinite skill".

In 2009, her debut solo album Glass House Dancing was nom-

inated for Classical Recording of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards.

She recently released her sec-ond album Devoted: Music of Robert & Clara Schumann, which features solo piano works and a performance with violinist Martin Chalifour.

A career highlight came last year when she won first prize at the 2013 Bradshaw & Buono International Piano Competi-tion. Her performance earned her the chance to play a solo show at New York City's famous Carne-gie Hall.

Wenham has performed across Canada, the United States,

Europe, Japan and Australia, win-ning awards at chamber music competitions in San Francisco, and Osaka, Japan; and at the Banff International String Quartet Competition. She has performed with both classical and jazz musi-cians throughout her career, but has also played songs by Elvis Costello.

The show takes place at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre on Sunday, May 11, at 4 p.m. Tea and cake will be pro-vided before the show. Tickets are $20, available at ArtFirst, the visitor information centre, at the door, and online at www.revel-stokeartscouncil.com.

VICTORIA – The B.C. gov-ernment has unveiled its plan to match up skills training with emerging jobs in resource devel-opment, by redirecting post-sec-ondary funding and � nancial aid toward occupations in demand.

The plan emphasizes indus-trial skills such as welding, pip-e� tting, heavy equipment oper-ation, truck driving and concrete � nishing, but ministers and of� -cials stressed that it also includes engineering, health care and other occupations where jobs are pro-jected to increase.

The main shift for colleges and universities is that within four years, a quarter of their operat-ing grants will be targeted to pro-grams with identi� ed demand from the job market. Employment data will determine post-second-ary funding, instead of the tradi-tion of block grants to post-sec-ondary schools.

Ministers avoided identifying areas that will lose funding, but have previously cited far more teaching graduates than there are jobs in the school system. Pre-mier Christy Clark has lamented a system where students receive a bachelor's degree and then must take additional training to qualify for jobs.

Education Minister Peter Fass-bender outlined a plan for K-12 schooling that aims to double the number of spaces for high school students taking industrial train-ing in high school to 5,000 in two years. Students in these courses get college credits while still in high school, allowing them to go to work more quickly.

The ministry is also revamp-ing its kindergarten to grade nine curriculum to give it more emphasis on "hands-on learning" and exposing students in earlier grades to the range of jobs they can expect when they graduate.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said the Industry Training Author-

ity will soon get a new board of directors and industry advisory councils to provide up-to-date information on job market needs.

NDP leader Adrian Dix said the overhaul of the ITA to restore union representation on its board shows that the model set up 10 years ago has been a failure. He also questioned how the educa-tion system can be restructured without adding new resources.

"We need investment in skills training," Dix said. "Instead what we have is a ministry of reallo-cation, which will cause con-siderable problems in the sys-tem and will not, I think, cumu-latively give young people what they need."

Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk said the student loan program will also be adjusted to market demand, with loans reduced or forgiven for students who graduate with in-demand skills and are willing to move to get work.

B.C. launches skills 're-engineering'

VICTORIA – The B.C. gov-ernment has rolled out its ambi-tious overhaul of the public edu-cation system, from kindergarten to graduate school, much to the horror of its left-wing establish-ment.

The formal title is B.C.’s Skills For Jobs Blueprint: Re-engi-neering Education and Train-ing. It’s designed to dovetail with the Harper regime’s Canada Job Grant that requires employers to co-sponsor training spaces so they will hire the students at the end.

Elementary and middle school curriculum is being revised to increase emphasis on hands-on experience. High school and post-secondary skilled trades pro-grams are getting more money, but it’s going to be shifted from under-performing programs that don’t lead to jobs.

Premier Christy Clark took another swipe at the bias of B.C.’s system before heading to Malay-sia, Singapore and Hong Kong on another lique� ed natural gas sales trip. She noted that 20% of B.C. students, and nearly half of aboriginal students, don’t � nish high school.

“Not only are there kids who don’t graduate, there are kids who graduate, go out and get one or two credentials before they � nally � nd their way into a skills training program,” said Clark, who had her own wander through university campuses before going into politics.

A couple of weeks ago, Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter downplayed the “relatively small” skilled trades shortage for B.C. industry.

“We should not be engaged in a zero-sum kind of battle for dollars,” Petter protested. That’s exactly what he and other univer-sity executives are looking at, and it will be based on the latest grad-uate employment data and labour demand forecasts.

One of the key architects of this sweeping plan is Jessica McDonald, who shook up the public service while serving as Gordon Campbell’s deputy min-ister.

Her report on trades training con� rms what Campbell’s critics in the labour movement have long said: the government’s 10-year experiment with the Industry Training Authority is a rudderless mess.

“Certain partners, particularly organized labour, feel marginal-ized,” McDonald wrote. “Oth-ers, particularly employers and employers’ associations, do not feel heard within the system. Over the recent past, several new directions have been introduced such as de-regulation of trades and modular training that have caused strain because they were not fully inclusive during devel-

opment, were seen to bene� t sin-gle interests, and they impacted the whole system.”

The ITA board is being replaced, with union representa-tion restored, and advisory coun-cils from industrial employers will update their hiring needs.

The B.C. Federation of Labour and the construction unions have all but abandoned the NDP after Adrian Dix’s disastrous pitch for urban anti-industry votes last year. B.C. Fed president Jim Sin-clair was an early advocate for rescuing skilled trades from the second-class status they received in a culture � xated on university for two generations.

That culture has created glar-ing problems. There are too many institutions offering the same courses. As with health care, block funding is handed out with-out any serious effort to measure the results. For many students, university has become an exten-sion of adolescence, � nding one’s self through philosophy or � lm studies.

Employers get their share of blame from McDonald. Not only did they chop up trades train-ing to make it cheaper to obtain, their preferred source of skilled workers has been to poach from other employers who paid to train them.

Skills-based employment data will be made public for stu-dents to make career choices. Finally, students coming out of high school will have a way to assess what they can expect after $50,000 or more is spent on higher education.

It’s about time.

The Revelstoke Derailers are back in the Forum on Saturday, May 10, for their first bout of the season.

The Derailers will be taking on the Tournament City Derby Dolls (TCDD) team the Wreckers, from Kamloops. Although this is a new opponent for the team, the Derailers faced off against another TCDD team, the Dead-lies, last April. In their most phys-ical game yet, the Derailers were defeated by 78 points.

Tickets are $8 in advance or $10 at the door and children under 12 are free. You can get them at Mane Attraction, Society Snow and Skate, Ray’s Butcher Shop, the Powder Springs or from any RRD skater. Bouts have sold out in the past so get your tickets

early. Many of the skaters ski, snow-

board, or hit the gym all winter to stay in shape. The most dedicated and talented Derailers spend the off-season commuting to Arm-strong to be part of the Thomp-son Okanagan All Star Team. Kansas Killa and Beatts Sense-less recently traveled with the all star team to Spokane, Washing-ton, where they played alongside internationally feared teams that included the Sockit Wenches and Kootenay Kannibelles.

To prepare for this highly anticipated bout, the Derailers have been working with coach Johnny Smooth to beef up their defense and increase their skat-ing speed.

With their largest group of Fresh Meat yet, fans can expect to see a mix of new and return-ing faces on the track this sea-

son. Kerosene Kate is an up and coming jammer who is says she is “ready to fight for every point!”

Also new this season are a few changes to the rules. Derby girls who commit infractions like cut-ting the track, hitting with the elbows, or tripping, will only be spending 30 seconds in the pen-alty box. This means more action and closer bout scores.

If you can’t make it out next Saturday, you can also check out the Derailers on June 21 when they take on another new oppo-nent, the East Side Wheelers from Indus; or on July 26 in a rematch with the Sun City Sirens from Kelowna.

Like Revelstoke Roller Derby on Facebook for all the latest news. It’s never too late to join, contact revelstokerollerderby@gmail.com for information about becoming Fresh Meat.

KellenViznaugh wins RCA road race season opener

Kellen Viznaugh was the win-ner of the first Revelstoke Cycling Association road race of the 2014 season on Wednesday.

Viznaugh won the race in a time of 1:04:50 after beating out eight other riders in the lead pack in a thrilling sprint to the finish.

“I just tried to keep it slow in the middle and sit on someone’s wheel for the sprint and go,” he said fol-lowing the race.

The 16-year-old has been slowly making his way up the standings over the past few years and this was his first victory in a local road race.

Stuart Smith finished second and Rich Hamilton placed third.

The 40-kilometre race consisted of two laps of Airport Way from the Airport until the end of the pavement and back.

All 19 racers started out together on a warm April evening, but it didn’t take long for a group of 11 men to separate themselves from the other riders.

They pedalled together quickly along the pavement, with no one attempting to break away from the peloton. Still, by the time they

reached the end of the pavement the first time, two racers had fallen off the pace, making it a battle of nine cyclists for the remaining 30 kilometres.

The group stayed together until the final 100 metres when it was every man for himself. In the final metres, Viznaugh managed to burst ahead to take the win over Smith and Hamilton.

Becky Bellis won the women’s race in a time of 1:21:10, ahead of Margo Hager.

Viznaugh’s performance impressed his senior competitors. Bart Jarmula said Viznaugh has been improving every year. He said Viznaugh has been strong in the sprints in the past, but his endur-ance hasn’t held up. Now it appears his stamina is improving too.

Viznaugh also won the races two times sprints.

The second road race is sched-ule for Wednesday, May 14. The cross country race series kicks off on Wednesday, May 28. Details for both races have yet to be announced. Races will alternate between a road race and XC race every two weeks until September.

The first downhill race is set for Sunday, June 1, at Mt. Macpher-son.

Dean Pratico

It is with great sadness that we announce the tragic and sudden passing of our son, brother, husband, and father, Dean Gerard Pratico, at the age of 55. Dean was born on December 26, 1958, in Revelstoke, BC. He lived and breathed what the “Stoke” is to so many of us who were born and raised here: family, friends, community, and a love for the outdoors.

Dean came into this world early seemingly knowing he had a lot of living to do in a short period of time, and live he did. He loved a good time and a good story

and he often found himself in the leading role of many of those stories!  He had a passion for sports, predominately hockey, and at the age of 15 went on to play junior hockey with the Vernon Vikings and Merritt Centennials. Throughout his life, Dean spent many hours in the local mountains hiking and skiing, especially loving the trips touring in the backcountry in search of fresh tracks!

His love for travel took him to Europe, Mexico, sailing the Carribbean, Thailand, Eastern Canada, Asia and everywhere in between. Throughout his life he lived in Vancouver, Calgary, PEI, and China but Revelstoke was always his home and he eventually made his way back to run his own business. Dean continued to work hard, despite his physical limitations due to arthritis, and enjoyed working in his shop creating his Treasure Eye windows as well as keeping the family home up to Vincey’s standards. He could be seen many mornings taking Pearl to school and walking the greenbelt. On his walks, Dean always enjoyed stopping to chat with friends and acquaintances along the way.

Dean is predeceased by his father, Vince, and is survived by his wife Ping, treasured daughter Pearl, mother Marie, sisters Leanne Kaay (Terry), Julie Holowaty (Rolly), and Donna Lehto (Craig) along with his nieces and nephews Jacob, Isaac, Kate, Erinn, Blake, Anika, Paige, and Tanner as well as his extended family in China.

In the end, Dean gave the greatest gift of all in the donation of his organs to five families whose lives have been changed forever. Knowing that Dean lives on in this way gives those left behind some sense of meaning during this difficult time.

In lieu of flowers, a special fund is to be established to assist his young daughter, contributions are graciously accepted, details will be available at the funeral service or alternatively please contact Brandon Bowers Funeral Home for instructions. The Funeral service will be taking place on Saturday, May 10th at 1:00 p.m. at St. Francis of Asissi Church, Revelstoke, BC with Father Aaron deDios the celebrant.

Online condolences may be sent to Dean’s obituary atwww.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com.

Arrangements are in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home.

Robert WilliamFarness

It is with great sadness that we, the family of Robert William Farness, announce the sudden passing of our beloved brother at the age of 67 on April 7, 2014 in Quesnel B.C.

Bobby was born in Calgary, Alberta on May 3, 1946, growing up in Sidmouth, B.C. and Revekstoke. He then spent many years of his adult life in Prince George. Predeceased by parents William and Margaret Farness and infant brother Derek. Bobby has left an empty void in the lives of his three sisters; Gloria (Roy) Abbot of Revelstoke, Valerie Farness, his twin sister, of Victoria B.C., Christine (Jim) Fedyniak of Star, Alberta; his younger brother David Farness of Vernon and many nieces and nephews.

Bobby was a loving and hard working man who experienced many joys and trials throughout his life, building his large log home from scratch, working as an electrician, operating his own logging truck and running his own businesses, Little Village Blacksmithing and Bob's Tidy Village. He loved horses but his pride and joy were his two Golden Labradors, Molly and Duke.

A celebration of life was held on April 23 in Quesnel. A graveside service will be held in Revelstoke at the end of July. Cremation has taken place.

Theodorus Frederikus de Volder

Mr. Ted de Volder passed away peacefully in his home the morning of February 20th, 2014 at the age of 84.

He is survived by his wife Joanne, sons Ted (wife Jaime and granddaughter Jade), and Tim (wife Rachel and grandson Marcus) and brother Rudolf and sister Elisabeth and many nieces and nephews.

Ted was born in Indonesia August 28, 1929, and moved to the Netherlands after WWII. He taught in Holland for 10 years before immigrating to Canada in 1966. After a brief stay in Vancouver where he worked as a janitor (he played piano at night), he was drawn to teach in Revelstoke by the skiing and scenery. He enjoyed downhill and cross country skiing and avidly taking pictures with his camera. He taught in Arrowhead in a one room school before moving into Revelstoke where he founded the junior band program which he taught until his retirement. He was well known for remembering his students and enjoyed visiting with them as he shopped in Revelstoke. He always remembered their names and who their parents were. He also loved to travel and was known as the 'Flying Dutchman". He married his wife in 1980 and they had two sons that he was so proud of.

He moved to Victoria with his wife in 2006 to be closer to his sons and granddaughter Jade. His grandson was born in June 2013. He looked forward to Skyping with both his grandchildren. He was amazed at the continuous change of flowers all year in Victoria, especially the pink dogwood. At the time of his passing he was enjoying a full life, keeping track of the flowers, his grandchildren, listening to his music and of course the Olympics!

Ted will be sadly missed.

Horgan pitches resource development

John Horgan put on steel-toed boots for his first public appearance as B.C. NDP leader, to emphasize his support for the jobs created by natural resource devel-opment.

Speaking to report-ers Friday after a tour of the Western Stevedoring port in North Vancou-ver, Horgan repeated his wait-and-see position on the proposed expan-sion of the TransMoun-tain oil pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby, and emphasized his support for liquefied natural gas development.

He said the B.C. Lib-eral government has placed too much empha-sis on LNG exports, and it’s been “giving away” the province’s natural resources.

“For the past 12 years the B.C. Liberals have seen a decrease in value from our resources com-ing back to the Crown, which means less finan-cial resources for health care, for education and vital social programs,” Horgan said. “We need to change that. New Democrats historically have talked about the importance of the econ-omy and our valuable social programs. We have a disconnect in place now and I intend, over the next three years, to change that.”

Premier Christy Clark left Friday for her fifth LNG sales trip to Asia, visiting Malay-sia, Singapore and Hong Kong in an effort to close more investment

deals. Earlier this week a joint venture agreement was signed by Shell, PetroChina, Mitsubishi and Korea Gas to develop an LNG export terminal at Kitimat, with final investment decisions still up to two years away.

Horgan said the broad support for his leadership shows he has

healed divisions over balancing economic growth with environ-mental protection. He added he will meet this summer with for-mer premier Mike Harcourt, who quit the party in April over its per-formance in the 2013 election.

Asked this week about the acclamation of Horgan after vet-

eran MLA Mike Farnworth dropped out of the leadership, Clark said having a vigorous debate over leadership is “a sign of a healthy party.

“I wish him luck,” Clark said. “It’s easier to go through unop-posed but I don’t know if it helps you.”
