REVIEW

There was a long lineup on the first day of advanced voting in the 42nd general election on Friday. According to Elections Canada, turnout to advance polls was up by about a third compared to 2011, and Revelstoke ap-peared to be no exception, with long lines throughout Thanksgiving week-end, partly caused by the fact only one voting booth was open. Election day is this Monday. Oct. 19. ~ Photo by Alex Cooper, Revelstoke Review

YOU ASKED. WE LISTENED!

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District is recom-mending rejection of a ski lodge application near Revel-stoke Mountain Resort.

A staff report by senior planner Dan Passmore recom-mending the board of the CSRD give no further readings to the application that would allow a new home on Leidl-off Road be operated as a boutique ski lodge accommoda-tion. The move would essentially kill the application as it stands.

The five bedroom home was built by the Hansford fam-ily last year, but it was only after they finished construc-tion that they asked for the property to be re-zoned for commercial use to allow it to be used as a luxury ski lodge.

The move was met by opposition from local residents, who, at an open house, opposed both the proposal for a heli-pad, as well as the fact the owners built first and asked

permission later. The application was later rejected by the Area B Rural Revelstoke Advisory Planning Commission.

The staff report says, "The feedback from the neigh-bourhood is not supportive of the use, which is viewed as incompatible with a rural residential neighbourhood."

It goes on to say that while the Official Community Plan supports the area transitioning into resort use, that shouldn't be done until planning studies are undertaken "to integrate design guidelines on how the neighbourhood develops to complement the development of the resort."

"It should be noted that the RMR Master Plan has not been fully developed," the staff report states. "Also, the planning work necessary for establishing transition guidelines has not been done, and therefore a proposal to develop complementary resort related support accom-modation infrastructure would appear to be premature."

The staff report is scheduled to be discussed by the CSRD's Board of Directors on Thursday, Oct. 15.

You can read the full staff report online.

Designing the flu shot each year can be quite difficult and sometimes the result is less than perfect. Last year’s flu shot was one of those. This year the vaccine will be a better match for the circulating viruses. These vaccines are never 100% effective but even at 50 - 60%, they give pretty good odds for not getting the flu.

As pharmacists, we are often asked if it’s OK to get the flu shot when one has a cold. Colds and other minor illnesses do not affect the vaccine’s effectiveness. Just a

reminder: it does take about two weeks for our bodies to develop antibodies against the flu.

Advances in healthcare are slow and steady and we often forget what our ancestors had to deal with. For example, in the early 20th century, one in seven children died before the age of 2 and deaths during childbirth were quite common. Polio, smallpox and measles were the cause of many child deaths. Today, these diseases have virtually disappeared.

Ibuprofen is a pain-reliever and anti-inflammatory drug that is available without prescription. Health Canada has issued a warning of the increased risk of heart attack and stroke with high doses of ibuprofen. High doses means amounts over 1200 mg per day.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions that will help you get the most out of your medications. Use the educational resources of our pharmacist staff.

NEW DEMOCRATIC

Election 2015: Questioning the candidatesWelcome to the Review's coverage of the 2015 election. We joined up with our colleagues at seven other newspapers in the Kootenay-Columbia riding to come up with 12 questions

for the candidates. Each week leading up to the Oct. 19 election, we will publish the candidates' responses to two questions. We hope their responses help you decide who to vote for.

11The Liberal Party will legalize mari-juana if elected. The current system

has proven to be a complete disaster and a recent World Health Organization survey of developed countries found that Canada has the highest number of teenage users. Clearly prohibition is failing to protect children and it also continues to support the gang culture that controls marijuana.

In jurisdictions that have legalized mari-juana we have seen drops in petty crimes, no increase in the numbers of people using marijuana and huge income from taxes. We need to legalize, research and educate so indi-viduals are making well informed decisions. We will use the best practices of places who have already taken this step and move slowly to ensure an effective implementation of the distribution and control regime.

12 The biggest challenge currently for MPs comes from the use of omnibus

bills forcing MPs to support them because they are part of the budget. We will discon-tinue this practice and the only votes the Liberal party would ask MPs to support will be budget bills, platform issues where we have promised we would undertake certain actions if elected, and any motions that di-rectly conflict with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Outside of these specific issues, we will have freedom to vote in a manner that sup-ports the aspirations of our constituents. If, somehow, an issue came up outside these

11An NDP government will decriminal-ize recreational use of marijuana. Our

citizens should not be imprisoned for simple possession.

The NDP has held this position for about 40 years, and it is something that the NDP has committed to taking action on imme-diately.

Medical marijuana, as already deter-mined by the Supreme Court of Canada, should be available in a variety of forms. Smoking is a health hazard regardless of what you are smoking.

12 I believe strongly that a Member of Parliament’s role is first and foremost

to represent the best interests of his or her constituents. And I understand that no mat-ter what, my job will be to provide service and representation to all residents, regardless of what party they may support, or whom they voted for during the election.

Mr. Wilks declared in 2012 in Revelstoke that one MP cannot make a difference. He made this statement to a group of constitu-ents who raised serious concerns about an omnibus bill that they felt would seriously damage our country. And Mr. Wilks agreed with them, until the party reminded him that his responsibility was not to have hon-est conversations with constituents, but simply to vote the party line.

I do not accept this. I believe that our de-mocracy is too important, and our country is too valuable, to choose a candidate who

11I am not in support of legalization of marijuana but do fully support the

motion put forth by the Canadian Chiefs of Police that calls for a ticketable offence for those found in possession of small amounts of marijuana (1 to 30 grams). The Liberal party plan is reckless and is a knee jerk re-action to a serious problem in which they believe that if you tax marijuana all the problems will go away.

12There are a number of different bills in Parliament. Budget bills are votes

of confidence and in those cases I would always vote with the party. The Conserva-tive Party has the best record for allowing their Members of Parliament to vote freely on bills of non-confidence, and I have exer-cised that right on a number of occasions. The NDP has the worst record of allowing their members to vote freely.

11I fully support the Green Party policy with respect to marijuana/canna-

bis for both medicinal and recreational use which is: legalize, research, educate. Legalize, so that the link between the production and sale of cannabis and drug gangs is severed.

Research, to carefully determine the full range of health/medicinal benefits and health risks. Where scientific studies dem-onstrate health benefits and appropriate modes of use and dosages, medical mari-juana should be brought fully within our regulated drug and medical system so that people needing cannabis treatment can obtain prescriptions from their family doc-tors and purchase treatments at their local drug store. The Green Party national Phar-macare plan will then kick in so that cost is not a barrier to anyone needing therapeutic marijuana.

Physicians then need to be educated on the medicinal values of marijuana and all Canadians should be informed of the re-sults of ongoing research about the health benefits and risks of various modes of can-nabis use.

Decriminalization for possession is sim-ply not good enough, as sale (trafficking) would remain a criminal offence and con-tinue to associate access to marijuana with criminal gangs.

12For a Green Party MP, this is not an issue. I would not be forced to vote

along party lines. However, I would take

The Revelstoke RCMP has issued a warning advising people of a phone scam, with the callers claiming to be from Revenue Canada.

"We are fielding at least two to three calls a day with very upset people, mainly the elderly, who are being told they owe Revenue Canada money and that if they fail to pay, that the RCMP will be arresting them," wrote Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky in a news release. "These phone calls have been

occurring for several months and are not legiti-mate calls from Revenue Canada."

The scam seems to originate from foreign countries but the RCMP have had little success identifying those responsible.

Grabinsky said anyone who receives such a call should just hang up the phone.

Revenue Canada is aware of the scam and doesn't make calls like that, wrote Grabinsky. As well, the RCMP will not arrest you, even if you do owe taxes.

Man who lost almost everything in fire asks for help

Gary Bales is the type of person who likes to keep to himself. After losing almost everything he owns in a fire last month, he's asking the commu-nity of Revelstoke for help to get back on his feet.

Bales, 63, was asleep when his home on 19 Mile Road, about 30 kilometres west of Revelstoke, caught fire in the late evening on Friday, Sept. 25.

He woke up quickly and ran outside with almost

nothing but the clothes on his back. He watched with a friend as the house was engulfed in 15-me-tre high flames.

Bales, a tree planter by profession for 35 years, lived in the home for 12 years. A friend was stay-ing with him when the fire started. They both made it out alive, but Bales' pregnant dog did not; he would breed and sell puppies.

Lost in the fire were many valuables he collected over the years. He said he had a collection of duck carvings, Native carvings, Persian rugs, animal hides, and more.

He also lost his collection of tools, including sev-eral chainsaws and a log splitter — big losses for someone who also sold firewood for a living.

Several cars he was planning to fix up and sell were damaged, including a Subaru Outback.

He had no insurance on the house and estimates his losses are more than $100,000.

Fortunately, the firewood he had stocked on the property didn't ignite. There was also a trailer on the property that emerged unscathed that he is living in now.

Bales is hoping people will donate to an account that was set up by a friend. You can do so online at gofundme.com/da55zv4g or through TD Bank via account #3120164, transit #93600.

You can also buy firewood from him by going out to his home at 19 Mile Road or calling 778-981-0041.

REVELSTOKEGRIZZLIES

The City of Revelstoke is looking to hold taxes flat while maintaining service levels next year, however residents may pay a high price for this in the future warns Graham Inglis, the city's director of finance, in the city's new financial plan.

"While this approach may be politically expedi-ent, the loss of revenue from a modest increase will be felt for years to come," concludes Inglis in the 2016-20 draft financial plan, which was set to go in front of council on Tuesday, Oct. 13

The 2016-20 financial plan calls for no tax in-crease on all property classes, except utilities, next year, but it calls for big tax and utility rate hikes in the future.

How big? The plan calls for a 10 per cent tax in-crease in 2017 and 7.5 per cent increase in 2018 to make up for the lost revenue and to pay for road work. As well, the water rate is set to go up by more than 25 per cent over the next five years, to $525 in 2020.

Inglis warns of pressure to maintain the city's infrastructure.

"In order to ensure that tax and rate increases are maintained at reasonable levels it will be nec-essary to continue to critically review both capital projects and service levels," he writes.

It means council will have to find savings in the future or reduce service levels if it wants to keep taxes low and address the city's infrastructure needs.

While no tax increases are planned for next year, the water and sewer rates are scheduled to go up by $10 each to $395 and $245 respectively. The sewage frontage rate is set to be increased by $0.10 per foot frontage to $1.60, and garbage fees will go up by $2 per household to $112.

The capital plan includes about a $900,000 in-crease in revenue in 2016, mostly due to higher transfers from other levels of government; a re-duction in spending of $300,000, and a deficit of

$260,000.It includes an increase in capital spending to

$6.3 million in 2016 from $4.1 million this year, however, half that increase is due to changes in ac-counting standards that includes things like vehi-cle leases as capital instead of non-tangible capital assets.

Most of the major capital projects included in the plan are already well known.

They include the Big Eddy Waterworks upgrades ($5.7 million from 2016–18) and extension of the water and sewer systems to the Thomas Brook area ($970,000 in 2016). Both projects require the approval of area property owners and would be funded by them and other levels of government.

The $7 million arena roof replacement has been pushed back to 2020. The sewer outflow reloca-tion remains in the plan, at a cost of $4.3 million, however city engineer Mike Thomas has indicated in the past he hopes to avoid that project, which has been mandated by Environment Canada, if he can.

The Downie force main is scheduled to be re-placed at a cost of $1 million from 2016-18.

$1 million is budgeted for fire flow projects over the next four years and $5.8 million for road work over the next five years.

City hall renovations remain in the budget at a cost of $1,335,000 over the next five years.

The detailed capital plan and departmental spending plans have not been released.

The financial plan calls for long-term debt to remain steady at about $16 million until 2019, followed by a sharp spike in 2020 if the city goes ahead with the arena roof replacement.

A timetable by the finance department calls on council to adopt the plan by the end of this year.

Departmental budgets were devised over a se-ries of committee meetings in August. Council was set to discuss the plan at its Oct. 13 meeting. Visit the Review website for more.

You can read the full draft financial plan on the Review website.

New city financial plan calls for no tax increases in 2016


A Revelstoke man was arrested and charged with trafficking cocaine following a car stop near Lake Louise last week.

Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky of the Revelstoke RCMP says that Banff RCMP stopped a speeding vehicle heading eastbound near Lake Louise on Thursday, Oct. 8, at around 9:30 p.m.

After searching the vehicle, they found a signif-icant amount of cocaine and a large sum of cash.

The vehicle and cash were seized as a result of the investigation.

Kyle Farrell, 28, was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine and pos-session of property obtained by crime. He was re-leased with conditions and is expected to appear in Banff court in the future.

Grabinsky said Farrell was known to police.

One of the key thrusts of this election campaign, beyond talk of the economy and distractions like the niqab issue, has been voting strategically to defeat the Stephen Harper government.

Left wing groups like LeadNow have been promoting the Vote Together cam-paign, where they connect people in dif-ferent ridings to vote for the party with the best chance of beating the Harper Conservatives. They even commissioned a poll of 42 swing ridings to see which candidate had the best chance of defeat-ing the Conservatives.

The idea being, of course, that unseat-ing Harper is more important than voting for the candidate or party you like most. Are you a centrist voter who thinks the NDP are a bunch of radical socialists that will bankrupt the country? Has your fam-ily been voting Liberal since time imme-morial? In this riding, that doesn't mat-ter. Vote for the NDP anyway, because it's all about defeating the Harper Conserva-tives. Likewise, in other ridings the push is to vote Liberal. Anything to get rid of Harper — so they say.

The sad thing is, we live in a system where a party can rule with impunity with less than 40 per cent of the vote. It happened in the 90s, when a divided right allowed Jean Chretien and the Lib-eral Party to earn three consecutive ma-jorities. Recently, the Conservatives have exploited a divided left to rule for nine years — the last four with a majority.

If your guy is in power, it's great. If he's not, it leads to outright frustration and even anger. It's reached the point where every party but the Conservatives are

promising some form of proportional representation if they win the election.

So, it's possible this election could represent a turning point in Canadian democracy. It could mean our first-past-the-post system, inherited from the Brit-ish, could be scrapped. It could mean the end of majority governments, and the beginning of coalitions.

That brings me back to voting strategi-cally. In this riding, that means the elec-tion is essentially a race between Conser-vative candidate David Wilks and NDP candidate Wayne Stetski. A poll conduct-ed by Environics for LeadNow put them tied at 37 per cent, with the Liberals and Green party a fair distance back.

With Wilks, you're getting a fairly typi-cal Harper Conservative. He's tough on crime and supports low taxes. He's not hy-per-partisan, but he hasn't shown an inde-pendent streak, except for that brief mo-ment three years ago when he pondered voting against the first Harper omnibus budget bill and becoming an independent MP. Since then, he's been a dutiful back-bencher, sending out press releases writ-ten by the Prime Ministers Office, but with his name attached to the top.

Where he has succeeded as an MP is addressing constituent concerns and bringing money to the riding. While he was not successful in getting funding to twin the Trans-Canada, he has brought back money for lots of other infrastruc-ture projects. With party discipline get-ting more strict, this is arguably the most important role of an MP.

Stetski was chosen as the NDP can-didate after a single term as the mayor of Cranbrook. It's both impressive that a left-wing candidate was elected the mayor of Cranbrook, but he was quickly swept out of power after one term in a concerted effort to unseat him.

Stetski reminds me of Norm Macdon-ald, the NDP MLA for Columbia River-Revelstoke. He's earnest and soft-spoken, and comes across as very sincere, but he's not above taking partisan shots at his op-ponents, particularly at Wilks. His cam-

paign has been surprisingly negative.Stetski's biggest argument for voting

for him is that he's the only candidate that can beat the Conservatives. It's probably true. For decades, since Jim Abbott swept to power in 1993, the NDP has been the second party in the riding. With its union base, it has the strongest organization of any party outside the Conservatives.

The Green Party and Liberal Party like to point to what happened in Alberta this spring, when the NDP won a surprise majority, that the past doesn't dictate the future, and so you should vote for them. I don't think that holds up in Kootenay-Columbia for two reasons. For one, Con-servative popularity isn't plummeting like it was in Alberta and there's no alter-nate right-wing party to split the vote.

For another, while Justin Trudeau has resurrected the Liberal Party, the party is simply coming from too far behind in Kootenay-Columbia. The fact they're in the conversation is a positive sign com-pared to four years ago.

As for the Green Party, they suffer from the problem that a lot of progressive vot-ers want to vote for them, but they don't think they can win, so they'll vote NDP. Many people I spoke to were very im-pressed with Bill Green at the Revelstoke election debate, but a lot of those same people are afraid of splitting the vote.

It comes down to Wilks and Stetski, or, more specifically, Harper or someone else. With Harper, we know what we'll get — a government that favours industry over the environment, is tough on crime, provides targeted tax credits, prefers ide-ology to evidence when crafting legisla-tion, and puts politics above all else.

As for the other parties, it remains to be seen how they'll govern. The Liberals are promising small deficits to invest in infrastructure, while the NDP is promis-ing balanced budgets, despite some ex-pensive spending promises.

The election is a referendum on the Harper government. The desire for change is there, whether it happens is the big unknown.

Is this the election to vote strategically?

Experienced a little election deja vu this week, in the form of a headline: “Economy hangs in the balance; A vote for Conservatives a vote for stabil-ity, says PM.”

When was it written? Well, not this week.Not even this year.The headline was published on page A7 of the

Province newspaper on Sept. 24, 2008.Prime Minister Stephen Harper had swung

through Surrey to stump for Nina Grewal, the vet-eran Conservative MP for Fleetwood-Port Kells, to tell hundreds of Tory fans that “British Columbians don’t need us to go back into deficits. And that’s why (they) will not vote Liberal in this election.”

Remember, this was seven years ago.“Conservatives offer stability and a clear direc-

tion, the (other guys) offer nothing but criticism and risk,” Harper told his crowd.

Where have we heard that recently?Everywhere, from Harper.Where did we hear it from in 2008 and 2011?Everywhere, from Harper.Now that’s staying on message.But has the economy done better under his

nine-year watch?Speaking about staying on message, Liberal

leader Justin Trudeau is fond – very fond – of tell-ing whomever will listen that Harper has the worst record on economic growth of any prime minister since the Great Depression.

Earlier this year, the Canadian Press did a gross domestic product (GDP) tally using data from Sta-tistics Canada and found that the nation’s average economic growth under Harper (2006 to present) was 1.77 per cent.

The prime minister occupying the next rung up from the bottom of the ladder was the Liberal leader’s own dad, Pierre Trudeau (1980-84) at 2.16 per cent.

Of course, the NDP is an unknown quantity in this regard, simply because they’ve never formed a federal government. Some of their provincial gov-ernment comrades have been known to freak out economists at the provincial level, however.

I imagine many of you are thinking man-oh-man, won’t this election campaign ever end?

I know I am. I also wonder, when the political party leaders point fingers at each other over the nation’s economy, or claim they’ll put hundreds of millions of dollars into public infrastructure or whatever cause, what this all really means to the many people who are struggling from cheque to cheque. Do these people lose sleep over the GDP? I know I don’t.

Herbert Hoover is said to have run his 1928 U.S. presidential campaign on the slogan, “A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” Others say King Henry IV of France coined this chickens-in-pots-for-all-his-subjects concept 500 years ago.

There are 11 days left before we vote and as the parties become increasingly panicked, I predict most of the big guns will fall silent on the nation-al battlefields. That is, abstract announcements promising hundreds and millions for this and that will be increasingly set aside as the fighting moves to the street. Expect more door-to-door, hand-to-hand combat (metaphorically speaking) over what they’ll do for us as individuals. Chickens might even be thrown, into pots.

We’re seeing it already, with the Conservatives promising to cut payroll taxes by more that 20 per cent in 2017 (who doesn’t want that?), the NDP saying they’ll phase out interest on federal stu-dent loans, the Green Party promising to “abolish” said interest on new student loans and forgive all student loans over $10,000...

Them’s some tasty chickens. Expect more clos-er-to-home goodies being promised to you over the next 11 days.

Promises, promises.

Abstract election promises will soon give way to chickens in pots

So, now it’s not about the econo-my or security, it’s about the niqab and whether a Muslim woman has the right to wear the religious facial covering during citizenship ceremo-nies. This is known as a “wedge is-sue,” which seeks to split citizens and political parties along divisive lines. The issue has gained a lot of traction with 83 per cent of Cana-dians that were surveyed support-ing the requirement that women remove niqabs or burkas during the ceremony. The survey was or-dered by Stephen Harper and paid for by Canadian taxpayers. It cost $133,000.

In early September, the Federal Court ruled that the ban was un-lawful. The ruling was immediately appealed and the Federal Court of Appeals has refused to suspend its ruling. Zunera Ishaq is still required to remove her niqab, in private and in front of an official, before taking her oath, but may wear it during the ceremony as she becomes a new Ca-nadian.

In response, Stephen Harper has ramped up the dialogue on the cam-paign trail by vowing to pass legis-lation within 100 days of taking of-fice that will ban the wearing of the niqab by public servants.

We have seen this dog-and-pony show before, in a number of dif-ferent forms. During the Quebec election in 2014, Premier Pauline

Marois made the Charter of Quebec Values the central election issue, which proposed a prohibition on wearing or displaying conspicuous religious symbols for public sector employees. During the 2005 elec-tion in England, Conservatives used slogans such as “It’s Not Racist to Impose Limits on Immigration” on election signs. That campaign was run by Lynton Crosby, who has now been hired to advise the Conserva-tive campaign in this election. Both the Parti Quebecois and the English Conservatives lost their respective elections.

Let’s be clear. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms ensures that all Canadians have fundamental freedoms, including freedom of religion. The Charter also affirms that we are a multicultural country and that enacted laws must be con-sistent with this ideal. Finally, the Charter protects minority rights and protects citizens from abuse of power by the government.

As it stands, the only way for laws banning niqabs to be “legal” is for the government to use the notwith-standing clause, thereby stripping some fundamental freedoms away from a very small group of its citi-zens.

Canadian values are enshrined in our Charter. They define who we are as a country and as citizens. Promoting unlawful legislation and shadow racism is a pathetic way to try and win an election.

City union comes in cheapest for garbage

collection

The City of Revelstoke is looking at keeping garbage collection in-house after a request for proposals returned no cheaper options.

"The cost savings anticipated by contracting out garbage collection services were not realized through the request for proposals process," says a staff report by Mike Thomas, the city's director of engineering. "Continuing to provide an in-house service with collection occurring over four eight-hour days is the low-est cost option available."

Seven responses were received in response to the city's RFP for gar-bage collection services. A proposal by Winkler Disposal Systems was rejected because it didn't meet the terms of the RFP. A second proposal came from highway maintenance contractor Emcon, four came from Bresco services, which runs the curb-side recycling program, and the other was a proposal from the city's union to keep it in-house.

All plans provide for pickup of one garbage bin per week, down from the current limit of two.

Revelstoke council was scheduled to make a decision on the contract on Tuesday, however it is the union's proposal that came in the cheap-est, at a annual cost of $341,218, or $112.99 per household.

The union put forward a plan that would see garbage pickup hap-pen from Tuesday to Friday, with Monday scheduled for truck mainte-nance. The rotating schedule would

be scrapped and two employees would staff the truck.

Emcon offered an automated ser-vice that would cost $491,120. The system would use custom garbage bins that could be picked up auto-matically by the truck.

Bresco provided four options. The first was for manual collection, simi-lar to the current system, at a cost of $462,853.

The second was for automated col-lection with standard bins at a cost of $693,701.

The third was for automated col-lection with bear-proof bins at a cost of $759,658.

The final proposal was for an alter-native manual collection that would involve Bresco paying the tipping fees. The cost to the city would be $389,254, or $128.89 per household.

All of Bresco's proposals involve increasing the fee for extra garbage bags to $10 from $2. The union pro-posal keeps the tag fee at $2.

Under the current financial plan, garbage costs $110 per household this year and is set to go up to $119 per household in 2019.

The request for proposal was prompted by the city's need to re-place its garbage truck and a belief that contracting out the service would lead to lower costs.

Thomas said all bids reflect the costs of labour, leasing a truck, in-surance, administration and tipping fees.

If council opts for the in-house op-tion, the city would begin the process of purchasing a new garbage truck by the end of this year.

Estimate for Exemption of Taxes

A Revelstoke man was sentenced to two years in prison for accessing and distribut-ing child pornography.

Roger Thrale was sentenced for down-loading and making available child pornog-raphy videos, with at least one featuring a title indicating the victim was under the age of five.

Judge Lisa Wyatt issued her sentence in Revelstoke court last Thursday, Oct. 8, after hearing submissions from the Crown and defence lawyers the previous day.

In a slight twist, Thrale's lawyer Chris Johnston actually asked for a longer sen-tence – one day longer – so Thrale could serve his time in the federal prison system where there's better access to treatment and counselling.

The verdict ended a lengthy court court process that began with Thrale's first ap-pearance in April 2014. He pleaded guilty in August 2014, however his sentencing was delayed first to allow him to retire, then be-cause his lawyer was unavailable.

Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo read out the circumstances of Thrale's crime in court. He said that from May 1, 2012, to Nov. 27, 2013, Thrale was guilty of possess-ing and accessing child pornography.

Thrale was arrested in November 2013 after an RCMP investigator in Abbotts-ford traced an Internet address connected

to accessing child pornography to Thrale's computer. His home was searched and his computer was seized as a result.

Police found evidence he downloaded child pornography several hundred times. Forty-two videos remained on the hard drive when the computer was seized, said Caputo.

Caputo presented a sealed binder con-taining images from one video. After some discussion, both the prosecution and defence agreed the binder did not to be opened in court.

"This is obviously very, very serious," said Caputo.

Thrale underwent a pre-sentence report and a psychiatric assessment. Caputo said in the latter, Thrale showed a lack of insight regarding the impact of his crimes. He said Thrale required ongoing treatment and asked for a sentence of two years in prison for the distribution charge, one year in prison for possession, and one year of probation.

Johnston argued for a light-er sentence for Thrale, say-ing the public shaming he will experience as a result of this article was worse than impris-onment. He asked for Thrale to be sentenced in federal prison since there is better access to

treatment programs. He said Thrale had the support of his wife

and three children, who supported him in seeking treatment for his problems.

He noted Thrale had no criminal record and pleaded guilty at the first possible op-portunity — two mitigating factors when it comes to sentencing.

On Thursday, Judge Wyatt handed down her sentence. She said that the nature of the videos, and their number, warranted a sentence longer than the mandatory mini-mum of one year.

Wyatt also noted that while Thrale ex-pressed remorse, there were questions about whether or not he recognized the se-

verity of his crimes and the impact on the child victims.

"I am of the view that he will need fur-ther intensive counselling in order to fully understand the magnitude of these crimes," she said.

She handed down a two year prison sen-tence along with three years probation, with conditions including a prohibition on accessing the Internet and being around children without supervision.

"I am of the view that counselling and monitoring of him for a lengthier term fol-lowing his period of incarceration will assist in his rehabilitation and the protection of the public," she said.

the matter very seriously. The first question I would consider is what commit-ments I’d made to constituents, either during the election period or after. My vote would be based on any commitments I had made.

If I hadn’t made a commitment, I would then want to make sure that I had a good understanding of the interests of my constituents, through internet polling, community meetings and conversations with local governments and organizations. Green MP Bruce Hyer was forced to leave the NDP after he voted against the long gun registry.

particular expectations that the party decided to for whatever reason to try to “whip” the vote and I believed it to be in contravention of my personal convictions and what was best for my constituents, I would not hesitate to vote against the party.

readily admits that he does not have free will, that he will not vote in the best interest of his constituents.

A classic example of Mr. Wilks voting against the safety and security of his constituents was his support for Bill C51, the Secret Police Bill. Mr. Wilks knows that the majority of his constituents adamantly opposed Bill C51, but he voted for it anyway. That, in my mind, is absolutely unacceptable.

Construction underway on snowmobile greeting centre

The foundation has been laid and now the Revelstoke Snowmobile Club is hoping the roof will go on their new greeting centre and maintenance shed by the start of win-ter.

The $350,000 facility will house the club's offices and maintenance shop, as well as washrooms and a greeting centre for snowmobilers. There will be space to store the club's four grooming machines — two in the shop and two in a covered area just outside. In past winters the groomers have sat outside in the elements.

The facility is located at the Boulder Mountain parking lot off Westside Road.

The building is being funded by grants, with $160,000 from the Resort Municipality Infrastructure Fund, $100,000 from the city's Economic Opportunity Fund, and $90,000 from the Columbia Basin Trust.

The greeting centre has been in the works for several years, and is part of an overall facilities plan by the snow-mobile club that also saw them build a new cabin on Boulder Mountain and renovate the warming hut on Frisby Ridge.

The building will serve as a welcome facility for snow-mobilers and the place where tickets are sold, replacing the small booth that the club has used for years.

The building is will feature a stone base, with metal clad-ding and a timber frame entrance way. A well and septic sys-tem will service the greeting centre.

Mueller Construction won the bid to build the facility in August.

Business beat: Getting your grill on with Ray

Ray’s Butcher Shop, owned and oper-ated by Ray Cooper, celebrated its fourth anniversary this past summer. Cooper of-fers customers fresh cut meats and custom orders, carries B.C. raised poultry and pig products, and Alberta beef. He makes his own in store jerky and takes orders for free range, hormone free turkeys for holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I asked him for advice on cooking up the best steak, even though barbecue is behind us.

Though summer is behind us, a perfect steak is available year round. Pan frying a steak is intimidating to many a regular cook (myself included) and my previous at-tempts have been less than stellar. Thanks to Cooper, that is about to change.

Cooper stresses that the first thing to re-member is picking the right steak. “I recom-mend a strip-loin,” he says. “It has the right fat to lean meat ratio to handle the frying pan.”

Once the appropriate cut has been select-ed, Cooper recommends taking the steak from the fridge and letting it heat to room temperature. “A steak started cold is tough-er when cooked,” he notes. If desired, pre-tenderize the steak by sprinkling the meat with kosher salt, which chemically tender-izes the steak, and then brush the salt off prior to cooking.

Next, heat the pan on medium heat until it starts to smoke. Add some butter. “Garlic butter makes it better,” laughs Cooper.

Once the butter has melted, toss your steak in, flipping sides every two minutes for four flips. “That’s two two-minute turns per side,” Cooper explains, “While it’s cook-ing, add some spices to make it even more delicious.” Cooper likes crushed garlic cloves, thyme or rosemary. As the steak is cooking, he recommends grabbing a spoon and basting it with the melted garlic butter, spices, and juices.

“Last, grab some prongs and stand the steak up on the fat band that runs along one side,” Cooper says. “Two minutes is about what you need to render the fat.”

Prior to eating, let the steak sit for half as long as it cooks.

If a roast is your preference, Cooper has a few tips. He suggests cooking it at a lower heat, 280-300 degrees for several hours rather than at high heat for a shorter period of time. “Generally speaking, the lower the heat and longer the cooking time, the more tender the roast will be,” he explains.

If you don’t already own an internal meat thermometer, you should get one. A ther-mometer is key to ensuring a perfect roast. Take your roast out of the oven about five degrees from the internal target tempera-ture. “Let it sit for between five and fifteen minutes,” says Cooper. “The roast is self cooking now; the last five degrees will be gained after removing it from the heat.”

“If you have any questions about cooking any of the different meats or cuts, you’re always welcome to come and chat,” Cooper says. The store is well worth the visit as Cooper has so many helpful hints. Just ask about his rack of rib recipe.

Ray's Butcher Shop is located on Garden Av-enue, next to La Baguette.

The Pack AD


For decades, Dr. Bruce Jamieson has led a team of re-searchers at the Applied Snow & Avalanche Research Cen-tre (ASARC) at the University of Calgary. He's published several books on avalanche safety that are used as student manuals by Avalanche Canada.

Earlier this year he entered semi-retirement after spend-ing 30 years studying snow and avalanches. This Saturday, he will be giving a talk at the Revelstoke Library on a few of the topics he's studied over the years.

The Review reached him by phone last week to find out a bit more about his work over the years, and what he'll be discussing in Revelstoke.

Revelstoke Review: How did you get into the avalanche in-dustry?

Dr. Bruce Jamieson: My undergraduate degree was in math and physics. I was leaning towards desk jobs. At that stage I wasn't interested in a desk job so I talked to a bunch of outdoor schools and eventually got interested in ava-lanches. I worked for a couple of different ski areas on their avalanche control programs and then came to Calgary for graduate school.

Do you remember what your first research looked at?It was the tensile strength of snow. In the upper layers of

the snow pack, avalanches release as snow slabs. Slab ava-lanches in the upper layers of the snow pack release as a unit. They are most of the avalanches that cause damage to people and property. The strength of the slabs are related to how wide the avalanches are, whether they spread a long distance across a slope or not. I was interested in measur-ing the strength of the upper layers of the snow pack. There was a technique that had been used a little bit. I think I improved the technique for my masters degree. I got a good data set and was able to relate that to the actual width ava-lanches tend to release.

How did you start ASARC?I did my Masters and PhD at University of Calgary sepa-

rated by some time as a research associate under Dr. Colin Johnson. There was a series of grants there jointly funded by the federal government and industry. After (Dr. John-son) retired, I started to be the lead on these series of re-search projects and started to supervise graduate students. The name ASARC didn't come along until quite a bit later. I was halfway through my active time with supervising grad-uate students before we adopted the name ASARC, but it's reasonable to extend it back earlier.

Canada has a long history of avalanche science, going back to when the railway was built through Rogers Pass in the 1880s. How do you feel ASARC has contributed to that legacy of snow science research?

We're certainly on the very practical side. I think there's valuable research that goes right through, from the very practical to the very theoretical. I value the theoretical side even though it's not my line of research.

On that spectrum we're quite far over to the practical side and that's because of our working relationship with industry. We had substantial funding from industry from the early stage. They were quite wonderful to work with but they asked tough questions like how am I going to use the

results of your research. That really fitted well with my practical orientation. I

worked in avalanche forecasting and control for six years. That really suited me to look at the applied, practical aspect of avalanches. Industry worked with me to develop the re-search topics we addressed.

What were some of the bigger studies you did?Snowpack tests were pretty central. The compression

test, which we didn't develop, but it was an obscure little test done by a few folks at Parks Canada and then we made a few minor changes. We were in the right time and place to popularize it and it's probably the most widely used test in North America now."

There's the propagation saw test. It's not well suited to the weekend recreationalists but it has applications to the persons working with avalanches — forecasters and con-trol workers and ski guides.

There's also our work on how various weak layers form on the surface and how they change in behaviour and how they're so slow to change after they get buried. The lay-ers are facets, surface hoar and crusts, so how they form and getting that knowledge at a very practical level so the practitioners can use them. Then how those layers slowly change and eventually stabilize, but they're famously slow to stabilize once buried in the snowpack.

Where do you see the future of avalanche research going?I'm quite excited about this program at Simon Fraser

University that Dr. Pascal Haegeli is leading. They're taking a fairly different approach than the ASARC program took but I think it's going to be really constructive and really helpful work.

What is that work?They're doing a variety of work. They're coming at terrain

from GPS tracking. They can see how people actually use terrain. They're quantifying terrain so you can put it into models and see how people make decisions. They're looking at the decision science and how people make decisions and how you can structure that.

Pascal has worked with a bunch of practitioners in Cana-da in their conceptual model for avalanche hazard forecast-ing. They're building on that, so it's really beneficial to the way we forecast avalanches and make decisions.

It's not going out in the snow and digging square holes like the ASARC program was so famous for, but I think it's going to be really beneficial to avalanche practitioners and recreationalists in Canada.

What will you be talking about in Revelstoke?Snow pack tests is one topic. And vulnerability — what

are the odds of surviving an avalanche once you get caught? There's been some fairly serious errors there in the way we've been understanding that.

Who's this talk geared for? The general public or snow science geeks?

I originally thought I would be speaking to the general public. I guess Kendra (from the library) went to the CAA and talked to a few people there and they picked some top-ics from my list. They are fairly technical topics but I will try to reach as broad an audience as possible. I think people should be backcountry skiers and snowmobilers that will get more out of it.

THE ECONOMY

Ruedi Beglinger has seen first hand the effects of global warming. Guiding out of the Durrand Glacier chalet for 30 years, he's watched as the glaciers around his tenure have receded back, in some cases by almost a kilometre.

Where he used to have one ladder to get up a rock face, he now has three. Where it used to re-quire climbing an ice face to reach the glacier, it's now an easy walk. Hazards exist where none did before. Where there used to be a glacier, there is now the Empire Lake hut — built last summer on bare rock as the latest addition to Beglinger's operation.

"If I think about this, I think the planet is los-ing its balance," he told me. "Glaciers are not just something up there that looks beautiful, it is a very important part of the existence of this planet."

I met with Beglinger at the end of his summer guiding season in the Selkirk Mountains north of Revelstoke. As has been reported, this year has been particularly hot, with a warm winter transi-tioning into an even hotter spring. Record tem-peratures were set in June when the thermom-eter neared 40 C in Revelstoke.

What has this meant for the glaciers in the Co-lumbia Mountains? They've been shrinking for more than a century, but how did they hold up to this year's extraordinary weather?

To answer those questions, I spoke to Brian Menounos and Ben Pelto, two researchers at the University of Northern British Columbia. Menounos is an associate professor of geogra-phy and the Canada Research Chair in Glacier Change. Pelto is his PhD student. They're part of a team that studies glaciers throughout B.C.

In April, Menounos was the co-author of a paper on glacier change that said the Colum-bia Mountains could lose most of its glaciers by 2100 due to global warming.

I reached the two of them by phone last week, after they had completed their fall survey of the glaciers they monitor.

"The observed mass loss is 2.5 to three times what we've observed for the longer term – the 1985 to 2000 average," Menounos told me.

***Menounos' team studies four glaciers in the

Columbia Mountains as part of a Columbia Ba-sin Trust project to monitor ice loss. They are the Zillmer Glacier near Valemount, the Nordic Gla-cier northeast of Revelstoke, the Conrad Glacier, in the Purcell Mountains near the Bugaboos, and the Kokanee Glacier near Nelson.

Those four glaciers were chosen based on their elevation, aspect, and corresponding area. They're considered representative of glaciers throughout the region.

out the relation of glacier change and climates," said Pelto.

To monitor the glaciers, they visit them twice a year — once in spring to measure the winter snowpack, and again at the end of summer to measure the melt. Poles up to six metres long are driven into the glacier in several places and they're measured to see how much melt occurred.

They also conduct an aerial LIDAR (light detec-tion and ranging) survey over the glaciers that provides accurate surface elevation representa-tions. "If you fly over two consecutive Septembers, you can subtract LIDAR elevation models and look at thickness loss," said Pelto.

Pelto wrote about his spring trip to the Kokanee Glacier on the blog From a Glacier's Perspective, which is run by his father Mauri Pelto, a glaciolo-gist himself. It was Ben's third year studying the glacier since the surveys began in 2013.

The glacier extends from an elevation of 2,800 me-tres at the summit of Kokanee Peak down to 2,230 metres, where it ends at a lake that was uncovered over the past few decades due to glacier retreat.

On the blog, Pelto noted a few things about the winter season. First, it was warmer than usual and freezing levels were elevated. Secondly, the winter snowpack at high elevations was normal, but there was a noticeable point where freezing levels stood. While there was snow on the glacier, you could see bare ground not far below where there would nor-mally be snow.

"With the warm winter, there was a magic eleva-tion line where below that you had rain and above that you had snow, and that's where the variability came in with the glaciers," he said.

Finally, data from a nearby snow pillow site run by the B.C. River Forecast Centre showed an early and dramatic melt cause by the very warm spring. Pelto wrote that this winter could be a harbinger of things to come, "where increased winter tempera-tures lead to a higher snow line, lower snowpack

at lower elevations, and near average snowpack at higher elevations."

When Pelto and his co-researchers returned to the Kokanee Glacier at the end of summer, they found a fairly dramatic loss of ice, estimated at between 1.5 to three metres. To put that into con-text, Meneunos had done a previous study com-paring digital elevation models taken from the space shuttle in February 2000 with images pro-duced by the B.C. government in 1985.

"The average we got for the province is that the glaciers were losing about three-quarters of a metre on average," he said. "Distributed over the glacier, that's about three-quarters of a metre of surface lowering."

On the more northern glaciers the team stud-ied, the mass loss this summer was closer to the normal — about a metre of ice thickness was lost.

"I think it's mostly a change in rate in terms of the amount of melt occurring," said Pelto. "If your aver-age year of late, in the past decade or two, is losing a half metre of ice a year, that's quite different to los-ing a metre and a half, or even up to three metres."

***Ruedi Beglinger laid out a big map of the Sel-

kirk Mountain Experience tenure on my desk. He pointed to the numerous glaciers in his area and outlined how they all had shrunk. The lower eleva-tion glaciers, like the Ruth Glacier, which was just a thin ice sheet stretching down to 1,800 metres elevation, had receded by almost a kilometre in the 30 years he'd been up there.

For glaciers at higher elevations, the loss wasn't so dramatic, but they were still losing ice slowly but consistently. He showed me pictures show-ing big moraines and boulder fields where there used to be ice — the glaciers are now in the far-off distance. In some places, he's started to track the change by marking rocks in the area.

Trade deal doesn't fix U.S. lumber issue: Harper

The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement doesn't resolve Canada's long-running dis-pute with the United States over softwood lumber, or remove restrictions on log ex-ports from B.C.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the Canadian government would like to renew the Canada-U.S. softwood agreement, ex-pired as of Thanksgiving Day. It's a side deal outside the North American Free Trade Agreement, and it won't be covered by the Pacific Rim trade either.

"Obviously we would like to see this agree-ment move forward, and I think industry on both sides of the border would, but for rea-sons that were not entirely clear, the Ameri-can administration hasn't seen it that way," Harper said in an interview with Black Press.

"In terms of forestry, what the TPP does do is provide new tariff-free access to many Asian countries, including enhanced access to the Japanese market."

Restrictions on log exports from B.C. are

also not eased by the TPP, which includes Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, New Zealand and Australia. B.C.'s control over Crown land log prices has long been an irritant with the U.S. and Japan, while private and aboriginal land log producers are restricted by federal rules.

"B.C. was able to ensure that both provin-cial and federal log export controls will not change as a result of the TPP, despite pressure from Japan to eliminate them," B.C. Interna-tional Trade Minister Teresa Wat said in a statement. "B.C.’s objectives for the forestry sector during the TPP negotiations were to gain market access for forestry products to important TPP markets such as Japan, while maintaining existing log export controls."

Premier Christy Clark said this week her first call to Ottawa after the Oct. 19 federal election will be about continuing the U.S. softwood lumber talks. Harper expressed confidence that despite the history of U.S. legal and trade actions over the years, the ex-isting deal can be extended.

"We've managed to export a lot of lumber over the years and I'm confident we will con-tinue to," Harper said.

Optometrists, Ophthalmologists, Opticians, Sight Testers

All of these words have been used when it comes to eye care; but the question is what exactly do they mean?

An Optometrist is a licensed and trained professional who went to University for 7-8 years and graduated with a designation of Doctor of Optometry. An Optometrist's role is to examine the entire eye and visual system. It is like a physical but for your eyes and should be performed on a routine basis. During an eye examination we check your need for glasses in addition to detecting eye disorders and diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, retinal detachments, melanomas etc. If there is a concern we want to have further evaluated, we may refer you to an Ophthalmologist.

An Ophthalmologist is the specialist and surgeon of the eye care world. They undergo at least 13 years of training. To become an Ophthalmologist they must first finish a bachelor's degree then medical degree and then go on to specialize in Ophthalmology. They can also choose to focus even further and specialize in certain areas of the eye such as a retinal specialist or certain diseases such as a glaucoma specialist. Ophthalmologists usually will not perform routine health assessments and do not generate prescriptions for glasses. They manage diseases as needed and also perform surgeries ranging from refractive surgery to cataract surgery to retinal surgeries.

An Optician is a licensed and trained individual who has completed a 2-year program that focuses on every aspect having to do with glasses. They are trained to be able to take the glasses prescription generated by the Optometrist, and based on your individual needs, work with you to determine what type of glasses are best suited for you. They are specialists in adjusting your glasses to optimize fit, comfort and vision.

A Sight Tester is a person who uses computerized and automated equipment to determine a glasses prescription. The accuracy of these automated sight tests is limited and do not take into account other aspects such as pupil size and binocular vision status that can cause problems with the overall refraction. Note that Optometrists study refraction alone for almost one year to determine every aspect and understand how to make adjustments when needed. The biggest downfall to sight testing is that it is not an eye examination; sight tests do not check the health of the eyes. A major concern is that many eye diseases do not cause symptoms until late stages in the disease so without routine eye examinations serious diseases can be overlooked.

Hopefully this helps you better understand the world of eye care. If you have had a sight test done, please ensure that you are also having routine eye examinations by an Optometrist or an Ophthalmologist to monitor the health of your eyes. If you ever have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at the office; we are always willing to help and to clarify any concerns that you may have.

310 Connaught Avenue, Revelstokewww.revelstokeoptometry.ca

Innocent victims slain over the past year in Surrey and Abbotsford, along with doz-ens of gang-linked shootings, have made crime a hot topic in the federal election campaign.

All three major parties have promised to add more police to fight gang crime, includ-ing Liberal and NDP vows to immediately deploy 100 more Mounties in Surrey.

But the Conservatives continue to project themselves as toughest on crime.

Leader Stephen Harper has vowed to re-introduce a lapsed "life means life" bill to take away any chance at parole for the worst murderers.

It comes on top of earlier reforms, like the stacking of parole eligibility periods so a quadruple murderer can now be made to wait 100 years for a shot at getting out.

Other key changes have reduced the scope to use house arrest rather than jail, and reduced parole leniency for non-violent offenders.

But the Harper crime agenda has been reined in by the courts, which have lim-ited government attempts to impose more minimum sentences, most notably striking down mandatory three-year terms for gun crimes.

The government also tried to erase the practice of granting double credit for re-mand time served in jail before trial, but the Supreme Court of Canada has allowed judges to continue to grant 1.5 days credit for each day served.

"The Supreme Court's decisions have hobbled or at the very least bridled the Conservatives' law-and-order agenda," SFU criminologist Rob Gordon said.

He's among the observers who warn the lock-em-up-longer approach threatens to cost Canada billions of dollars more to im-prison convicts, as well as more protracted fights in the courts that will mainly benefit constitutional lawyers.

One of the newest Conservative cam-paign promises is to create a list of gangs to make prosecuting members easier without first having to prove in each case that the group is a criminal organization.

Gordon doubts it will work because, in the case of the Hells Angels, not every member of the gang is involved in serious organized crime.

"In Surrey, this is even less worthwhile because the groups active in the last six months don't have names," Gordon said. "They don't run around with banners saying they are members of this, that or the other organization."

Other new Tory promises pledge two-

year minimum sentences for fraudsters with multiple victims unless there's full res-titution, and easing the burden of evidence in prosecuting drunk drivers, although it's unclear whether that would reverse B.C.'s recent shift from impaired prosecutions to roadside penalties.

Despite the intense spotlight on warring gangs, criminologists like Gordon point out crime rates have actually been declining for decades.

"Crime is falling and so is the rate of se-vere crimes," he said.

The reasons isn't Conservative policy, he said, but societal changes, particularly the demographic shift that's left proportion-ally fewer young men who are most prone to crime.

Technology has helped. There are more theft-resistant cars, alarm-protected homes, and video cameras poised to record crimes than ever before. And youth who were once more apt to find trouble outside may be increasingly diverted now by online distractions that keep them indoors or star-ing at screens.

"There are pop-ups of course, in particu-lar in spots like Surrey, which all has to do with the illegal drug trade and the failure to deal with that," Gordon said.

What would work to further cut crime?Gordon lists marijuana reform and an end

to the Lower Mainland's patchwork system of RCMP and municipal police jurisdictions.

Advocates have repeatedly called for more wraparound services to help intercept and rehabilitate prolific offenders, as well as better addiction treatment, education, gang prevention initiatives, and even anti-pover-ty measures like housing for the homeless.

Gordon said such social policy strategies hold promise, but don't resonate with vot-ers as well as hawkish rhetoric, and politi-cians who propose them may be denounced as soft on crime.

The NDP would decriminalize marijuana, while the Liberals and Greens would legal-ize it and tax it.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has said he may repeal some mandatory minimums on sentencing, which he said should be re-served for serious and violent offences.

Liberals have pledged to tighten access to handguns and restricted firearms, and de-vote $100 million a year to anti-gang task forces to target gun and gang violence.

The NDP have said they'd strive to em-phasize rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners.

NDP leader Tom Mulcair has also pledged $250 million for a police recruitment fund and to invest $40 million to reverse cuts to shelters for women fleeing violence.

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.”

The notion of strategic voting has been gaining momentum in the lead up to the October 19th election among voters against the “first past the post” system who want to see electoral reform before the next federal election in 2019.

With the Conservatives vowing to main-tain the current voting system, the NDP — who promise to legislate an end to first past the post if elected — are being touted as the party in the Kootenay-Columbia to vote for, based on polls that give them the strongest chance of winning what’s traditionally been a Conservative riding — a perceived advan-tage that NDP candidate Wayne Stetski has been campaigning on.

In the September 11th Black Press Q&A question on proportional representation, Stetski asked voters in the Kootenay-Co-lumbia “to vote together for the NDP to stop Stephen Harper.”

“My promise to traditional Green and Liberal voters in this area is that once the NDP brings in proportional representation, you will never have to vote strategically again,” he said.

But according to Bill Green and Don John-ston, the two MP candidates who stand

to lose votes if Kootenay-Columbia voters turn to strategic voting, the “anything but Harper” route isn’t the answer. They both encourage people to cast a “positive vote.”

“Political scientists have shown why strategic voting doesn’t work,” said Green Party candidate Bill Green. “There are two reasons. Firstly, it is unlikely that you can convince the necessary number of voters to vote for the same ‘second choice’ party. Everyone has different voting preferences. Secondly, people have to guess which party has the best chance based on some combi-nation of past election results and current polling. Both provide very poor guidance. Candidates, campaigns and issues change from election to election, and polls, particu-larly at the riding level, are usually wrong.”

Liberal Party candidate Don Johnston echoed Green’s opinion on how misleading polls can be.

“The real shame with these polls is that they paint a false picture. Leadnow (one of the strategic voting websites) doesn’t review the momentum shift or the impact of national support, and it won’t conduct a second poll without crowdfunding.”

He added the local NDP are unlikely to fund a new poll because if it shows erosion of their support, their platform collapses.

“As someone wrote to the editor of the Nelson Star, when your primary debate message is to vote strategically against Mr. Harper, it says, ‘don’t look too closely at my policies, my leader, or our candidate’,” said Johnston. “Mr. Stetski tells every audi-

ence that he is a ‘fiscally responsible green NDPer,’ that three progressive parties re-ally don’t have many differences, and that polls show he is the only one who can beat our MP. The first line doesn’t tell me much about his political commitment. The second is a distortion of Green and Liberal policy. The third point is simply false.”

“The fact is there are very substantial and important policy differences among the non-Conservative parties,” agrees Green. “Electoral co-operation, through agree-ments negotiated between parties at the national level, could be a powerful and ef-fective way to address vote-splitting. But an electoral cooperation strategy requires agreement among the parties well before the campaign begins. Both the Liberals and NDP rejected Green Party attempts at co-operation.

“There was a huge push for strategic vot-ing during the 2011 election campaign. It failed miserably, with the Conservative Party obtaining its first majority since the mid-1990s,” he said.

“Strategic voting is a bad strategy,” said Johnston. “It shifts votes in different direc-tions and, by the end of the election, no-body knows what people really wanted to vote for.”

Election 2015: Vote could spark marijuana reform

This election may decide whether Canada makes a historic leap toward marijuana reform or remains a legal battleground between can-nabis advocates and a resistant federal govern-ment.

Under the federal Conservatives, Ottawa has long argued pot is dangerous, unproven as a medicine, and a serious risk to youth if legal access grows. The government has only al-lowed possession by authorized medical mari-juana users after courts ruled in 2000 they have a right to reasonable access.

Since then, tens of thousands of Canadians became approved users and many got federal permits to grow it themselves. Cities grew anx-ious about the explosion of often unsafe legal grow-ops in their midst.

That was one reason the Conservatives tried in 2014 to outlaw home growing of medical pot and force users to buy only via mail order from approved commercial producers.

Corporate growers have rushed to carve up the market while pot activists and lawyers have fought to defend and widen the ability for anyone to grow and sell the stuff.

Nowhere has that battle been more obvi-ous than in Vancouver, where more than 100 medical pot dispensaries have opened, illegally selling weed in contravention of federal law, but largely unmolested by police.

Vancouver and other cities aim to regulate

retail pot stores themselves. Ottawa wants them closed and threatened to send in the RCMP. Meanwhile, time seems on the side of legalization advocates, who say the drug can be regulated and taxed much like alcohol rather than feeding organized crime. Societal attitudes have shifted as a growing number of voters accept the case for reform.

A new Insights West poll found 65 per cent national support to legalize marijuana, with 30 per cent opposed. More than two-thirds believe pot has legitimate health benefits and that legalizing and taxing it would generate needed government revenue, while allowing police to focus on other priorities.

As more U.S. states legalize recreational marijuana – Washington has been joined by Colorado, Oregon and Alaska – B.C.'s advo-cates can increasingly point across the border and argue the sky has not fallen.

WHERE THE PARTIES STAND

The Conservatives insist Canada will not follow them down a road that expands drug culture and its risks, instead promising to fund more RCMP anti-drug operations.

Conservative leader Stephen Harper upped the rhetoric this month when he called mari-juana "infinitely worse" than tobacco in terms of damage to health, a claim contradicted by health experts, though they say pot poses el-evated risks for teens.

The NDP would immediately decriminalize

pot – leader Tom Mulcair says no one should have a criminal record for personal use – and then study further legalization options.

The Greens would legalize, regulate and tax it. Their platform banks on about $5 billion a year in marijuana tax revenue.

Under leader Justin Trudeau, the Liberals were the first major party to promise out-right legalization and regulation, though they haven't yet budgeted any tax revenue. They argue legal, tightly regulated marijuana can be kept out of kids' hands as effectively as booze and cigarettes. "Oct. 19 is a pretty big day for cannabis policy in this country," says lawyer Kirk Tousaw, who has led multiple challenges of federal marijuana regulations.

He credits Trudeau with being most upfront in promising legalization at a time when many politicians remain gun shy, but believes both the Liberals and NDP would deliver major change.

A key issue if reform comes, he said, is whether anyone can grow their own pot – and even sell it at farmer's markets – rather than just buying from corporate growers and dealers. "My view is if you don't have a right to grow your own cannabis you don't live in a place where it's actually legal."

A re-elected Conservative government could face further proliferation of illegal retail stores – forcing Ottawa to either crack down or else concede de facto legalization in parts of the country.

COURT CHALLENGES ONGOINGA Tory victory would also continue the legal

chess game between pot proponents and fed-eral lawyers, at a rising cost to taxpayers. The Supreme Court of Canada unanimously ruled in June that medical marijuana can legally be possessed or sold in the form of cookies, other edibles and derivatives, not just dried bud.

So far, the government response has been to permit commercial producers to sell only medical pot oils at a low THC dosage, not other edibles.

A Federal Court judge will rule soon on an-other challenge – also argued by Tousaw – over whether medical patients can keep growing their own pot. That decision could deal an-other blow to the new commercial production system. "It could go either way," Tousaw said. "Even if it's a win for the patients, what that win looks like is probably going to be strongly influenced by what government is sitting in Ottawa."

A re-elected Harper government confronted by more court defeats could still make medi-cal pot access as difficult as possible by tightly regulating the amount that can be legally pos-sessed or grown. "Every time the courts have held a facet of the medical cannabis program in this country to be unconstitutional, the gov-ernment has responded by doing the absolute minimum it can to comply with what the court has said," Tousaw said.

Which is why pot reformers prefer a swift victory at the ballot box to clear the legal haze.

Along with raising their two children Christopher and Jeffrey, she spent countless hours engaged in various businesses working alongside her husband. Snorkeling was one of Kathy’s favorite activities, as were traveling, walking, gardening, sewing, interior designing and spending time with family and friends.

Kathy was very involved in the care of her aging parents Wally and Clelia Warner who predeceased her in 2012 and 2013. Kathryn’s ashes were placed in a family plot next to theirs on October 9th, 2015. A Celebration of Life followed at the old Telegraph Building in downtown Revelstoke.

Kathy is survived by her loving husband, Knud, brothers Gary (Leslie) and John (Brenda), sister Patti and sons Chris (Michelle) and Jeff, her beloved grandchildren, Adam and Anna, as well as many nieces and nephews.

KUSHNER,Harry George

Harry George Kushner passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at Mount Cartier Court with friends and staff by his side. Over the past 8 years Harry gave many gifts, gifts of appreciation, laughter and kindness as he received great care.

Uncle Harry was born September 3, 1930 at Sandburg, SK. Throughout Harry’s school days Harry attended Monz School close to the first homestead in Strong Pine, SK. His parents and siblings also attended the Baptist church. As time went on the family moved to Davis, SK and Harry and his siblings attended Island Lake School. Harry used his carpentry skills to help his brothers build the Davis Elevator. Harry and his brothers enjoyed the country barn dances too!

As time went on Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Harry and Bill moved to Vernon, BC. Harry ended up settling in Revelstoke, BC and met the love of his life, Elsie and they were married. Harry was employed in the logging industry operating heavy duty equipment for Celgar. Harry had a special place in his heart for his dog, Rex, his kitty and pet bird. He and Elsie attended the Pentecostal Church and Harry was a regular attender at the Full Gospel Men’s Fellowship. Harry and Elsie loved singing gospel music while Elsie played along with the organ. Family visits were a bonus. Uncle Harry, “You are the last of our sunshine, you will be missed.”

Harry is survived by three nieces, Gail (Frank Koehl), Vera Kushner, Eunice Kushner and nephew, Randy Kushner, all from Saskatchewan. Harry is predeceased by his wife, Elsie; parents Steve and Barbara (Warvara); sister, Oxinya; brothers, Nicholas, Wasyl, George and Iwan (Irau).

Memorial donations may be made to Revelstoke, BC SPCA.

Ryan Parent likes to talk about play-ing "the right way." It's a term the Griz-zlies coach uses frequently to describe his team and players.

What is the right way?"It's playing within our structure," he

said. "I think we played great defense, then we worked out from that structure into great offensive play."

Revelstoke played "the right way" as it skated to a 4-1 win over the Osoyoos Coy-otes on Saturday night at the Forum. It was the team's only game of the weekend after a three game road trip last weekend, and it snapped the team's five game los-ing streak.

"We had good goaltending, solid defen-sive play and the offense was there when we had opportunities," said Parent when asked about the key's to victory.

The two Kyles, Baron and Berry, scored for Revelstoke in the first period, with Baron opening the scoring on the power play goal eight minutes into the game, and Berry scoring with less than two minutes left in the period.

Aaron Aragon made it 3-0 Revelstoke with a power play goal near the midway

point of the second, but Judd Repole put Osoyoos on the board five minutes later to make the score 3-1 going into the third.

The Coyotes pushed hard to even the score in the third but it was Revelstoke who capitalized on their few changes, with Brady Mende getting his first of the season to seal the 4-1 win.

"It was nice to get back to the Forum and get back to the game we know how to play," said Parent.

Steven Fiust picked up two assists in the win, while also playing a key defen-sive role. "He was our best defensive play-er today, and then he scores," said Parent. "I think if he continues to play the right away he'll have the opportunity to move up to the next level."

Goaltender Aidan Doak had a strong game, particularly in the second half, mak-ing 26 saves for the win. "He knows what he's capable and when he's mentally pre-pared, he shuts the door when we play the right way in front of him," said Parent.

The Grizzlies had the rest of the Thanksgiving weekend off before recon-vening to get ready for the upcoming weekend, when they play the Kelowna Chiefs on the road on Friday, and host the Columbia Valley Rockies at the Forum on Saturday.

GRIZZLIES COMPLETE TRANSACTIONS

In addition to his coaching duties, Ryan Parent has been busy in the general man-ager's chair the last few weeks.

First, he sent defenseman Zach Morey to Kimberley to complete the trade for goaltender Brody Nelson. He also dealt defenseman Levi Morin to the Osoyoos Coyotes for forward Blake Hollowaty, who is currently playing in Junior A.

When asked about trading Morey, who was on last year's team, Parent replied: "I think our defense is better than last year, and I'll leave it at that." As for Morin, he said it was a necessary move to acquire Hollowaty.

Lastly, Parent dealt Brodie Buhler to the Kimberley Dynamiters for future consideration. Buhler, a Revelstoke na-tive, played two seasons for the Grizzlies before moving up to Junior A last year. After getting sent back down to Junior B this year, he asked to play away from home, said Parent. "We just accommo-dated his request," he said.

Parent also appears to have settled the Grizzlies goaltender situation, opting to go with last year's tandem of Doak and Michael Lenko.

Beglinger says he notices the changes in his day-to-day operations. He has to be more cautious of rockfall in the summer, and of crevasses in the winter. "You're going to see ice avalanches in places you haven't seen before," he said.

The glacial melt enabled him to build the Empire Lake Hut last summer on a patch of bare rock that used to be covered in ice. Empire Lake itself is also new.

"Last year there was just a small rock sticking up. Now it's an entire ridge," Beglinger said while showing me one photo.

Glaciers have been melting since the 1800s, when many reached their biggest size during the end of the Little Ice Age. The most obvious and best documented nearby example is the Illecille-waet Glacier, which used to be within an easy stroll of the railway in Glacier National Park, but has now receded by more than 1.5 kilometres since the last 19th century.

Parks Canada surveys the ice fields in Glacier National Park using satellite imagery every five years, and monitors winter snow accumulation and summer melt annually. A report is published every five years, with the most recent one, docu-menting findings up to the end of 2011, published in 2012.

That report says glacier coverage shrank by 12.7 per cent between 2000 and 2011. The average an-nual rate of change during that period of 1.16 per cent was higher than the rate calculated in the western Canada inventory from 1986 to 2006, "suggesting an increased rate of glacier retreat in the new millennium."

Parks Canada did not grant a request to inter-view one of their researchers and instead sent in an e-mail response to questions.

An interesting aspect about glacier loss is that there is a lag between warming and ice loss. While a glacier will lose mass during a warm summer, it could take decades for that warming to truly show itself. The toe of a glacier, located at lower eleva-

tions, will melt away, but the main body, generally located at higher elevations where there's more snow and less melt, will take longer to respond to warming. "There's an immediate reaction and there's a delayed reaction," said Menounos.

While difficult to determine, recent glacier melt is attributed to the rise of greenhouse gas emissions. A 2014 paper in the journal Science concluded that anywhere from 45 to 93 per cent of glacier loss from 1991 to 2010 was caused by an increase in human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.

"There's variability there but the only was you can count for that substantial mass change is greenhouse gases," said Menounos.

We could be bearing witness to the final years of glaciers in the Columbia Mountains. In a study published in the science journal Nature in April, Menounos and several co-authors wrote that in a worst-case scenario, glaciers in the Columbia Mountains could almost disappear by the end of the century. Even in their best case scenario, about 80 per cent of the region's glaciers will be lost. Bar-ring a reversal of warming trends Only the high-est and largest glaciers will remain. Revelstoke's iconic Mount Begbie glacier will likely disappear.

The impact could be substantial. Menounos' research is part of a project being conducted by the Columbia Basin Trust. The issue has also been studied by BC Hydro to see how they will have to adapt their operations. Glaciers act as stores of fresh water that provide melt water well into the summer, when streams could otherwise run dry. There will be less water as a result of glacier melt, but that is expected to be offset by increases in precipitation. However, the timing of stream flows could change substantially.

Then there's the aesthetic impact. "One of the reasons I was drawn to British Co-

lumbia was to see permanent snow and ice and glaciers on the mountain landscape," said Menou-nos. "We're watching an important component of our heritage rapidly decline.

"I don't know what you would call Glacier Na-tional Park without the glaciers."
