Maelle Ricker, daughter of Biology
instructor, Nancy Ricker, is making
a deep impression in the
snowboarding world. She won a gold
medal on Sunday, December 13 at
the FIS Snowboard World Cup at
Blackcomb. Maelle, a halfpipe
specialist, won the 500 metre
snowboard-cross. This discipline has
four riders competing head to head
and combines the speed of giant
slalom, the jumps of halfpipe and the
competitive dynamic of parallel
slalom. Wow! Well done Maelle.

Review, will exhibit his first work of
combined sculpture and photo/text in
Toronto in February. Camouflage is a
triptych of military shirts stiffened into
three gestures (salute, surrender, at
ease) combined with a lectern which
displays photos and memo-like texts
that relate to the shirts. The piece will
form part of the exhibition Fatherlands,

effect of World War II on their fathers.
Bob will travel to Toronto in early
February to install his piece at Gallery

exhibition.
