Not only was the food delightful but Nelson and Vittoria and staff went out of their way to accommodate star princess cruises the elders of Revelstoke. Access is always a challenge for the older set and Isabella s made sure we were front and center for the Canada Day parade. Nelson even went so far as to park in front of the patio until the parade started to make sure that no one would park and obscure star princess cruises the view for the seniors.

I d like to formally thank all of the people, including my children Andrew, Chris and his wife Yvonne (and my grandson Nicola), their mother Carol Kalmacoff, my brother Greg, Leslie and David Savage, old friend Steve Mertl, my cousin Cathy Lewis of San Francisco and most of all my close friend Sue Leach, for coming to see me while I was in St. Paul s Hospital in Vancouver. star princess cruises I am also grateful to all of the people who sent me scores of e-mails, voice mails and Facebook messages and other gestures of support, prayers and best wishes. You really did helpe me through my latest and most serious health crisis.
Your affection and efforts to reassure and help me were deeply appreciated. I especially liked the cards from Sheryl Wolgram, Pat Anderson and Helen Grace and the card Leslie Savage organized that was signed by dozens of my friends.
To Whom it may concern star princess cruises I would like to voice my opinion about food banks in particular our own food bank. I have had the unfortunate luck to use a few food banks in B.C. and Alberta. I have had a chance to compare food banks and by far the food bank in Revelstoke is run very well. Patti does a tremendous job trying to make sure that people here have access to such a well-run foodbank.
When I was at my daughter s in Alberta recently she had to make use of the food bank there ,so I went with her to help. The people there can have a hamper once every two months and they are aloud to access the front three times a week which consists of bread ,crackers,cookies and potatoes. The only time that you receive fruit and vegetables is when you get a hamper and when you have young children they do not go very far. When one has to use the services of a food bank your self esteem is not very high and this particular one in Alberta by the time you leave you feel even worse,it is hard enough for people to put there pride aside and use these services.
What I would like to say is that we as people of Revelstoke are very lucky to have such a well run food bank and I would like to give praise where praise is due and that goes to Patti Larson. Thank you, Patti, for letting people star princess cruises here be able to hold their heads up high and feel good about themselves even when they have to use the service of the Food Bank. You do a very good job of running the Revelstoke Food Bank.
My name is Rocco Catalano and on January 24 while I was traveling from Williams Lake, I had the misfortune star princess cruises to hit a slick area on Highway star princess cruises 1 just your side of Griffin Lake. My car slid towards an oncoming vehicle and I swerved to avoid it, sending my car into a 360 spin that banged off the cement barricade on my side of the road a couple of times. Against most odds, I didn't star princess cruises hit anything other than that cement barricade. My air bags deployed and I was able to slip out the passenger door with no bodily injuries whatsoever.
A fellow named Lester, traveling from Edmonton saw what happened, stopped, and volunteered to drive me to Revelstoke. We got coffee at the Tim Hortons while I used Lester's phone to contact BCAA and a tow truck. As I was waiting star princess cruises for the tow truck, I thought I would ask Tim's Afternoon Coffee Boys' Club, for information as to a reputable car repair star princess cruises shop. They all stopped and listened carefully and before you could sip a double-double, one of the fellows had pulled out his cell phone and was checking out the number of a local car shop. This was much to the amusement of his table buddies, who thought if he was to borrow some glasses, the phone number might be forthcoming a mite sooner. These great guys also mentioned other pointers for dealing with my car situation in Revelstoke. The ladies at Mr. Hortons were accommodating, lending me their phone book and writing material.
Before I could finish my coffee, Mike Dressler of Columbia Towing showed up. I said good-bye to Lester and I kicked myself for not asking his full name but what a stand up guy! Mike picked up my car without incident and took it to the towing shop. Win Manderson, who was manning star princess cruises the shop while Teresa was away, graciously allowed me to use the phone to sort out a few business issues and to contact family star princess cruises members. Win also suggested that I contact Andrew and Kathy Inkster who owned nearby Thrifty Car Rental. Once I settled the car rental arrangements with Andrew, he told me the Swiss Chalet would be easy to find and good place to stay.
I arrived at the Swiss Chalet feeling drained, however, I had basically resolved star princess cruises to myself that despite the bad accident, I still had brain signals as well as blood flowing in my body. It was only going to cost me money, time, and inconvenience so I might as well adopt a positive attitude. When I met Philippa Cahill, the lady in charge at the motel, her manner and Kiwi accent put me at ease. (Philippa's a real sweetheart and a credit to her native New Zealand). She gave me the run down of what the motel offered and proposed a restaurant for me to consider as well as directions to it. I ended up at Zalas and had a superb steak with a Canuck win on the overhead screen for dessert!
What cost me in a small way (in the big scheme of things), gifted me with a wonderful appreciation and memory of the Revelstoke community. You obviously have much hidden potential in the heart department. You should be proud of yourselves and the gifts you bestow on others with your everyday kindnesses!
These are some of the posters entered in the Canadian Avalanche Centre s Avalanche Safety Poster Contest for local students. The CAC has an annual poster contest for elementary kids in conjunction with the Avalanche Awareness days, says the CAC s Bridget Daughney. The contest is pretty simple. Kids need to write a winter safety slogan on a regular sized piece of paper and draw/colour a picture to illustrate it. Any elementary student can enter. The posters are really fun and it is good for kids as they revise the topics I taught them before the winter break. They get so creative it is great. Bridget Daughney photo
