Leaders battle over jobs, fighter planes and national pipelines

Photo Macleans.ca

Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau, Green Party leader Elizabeth May, NDP leader Tom Mulcair and Conservative leader Stephen Harper take part in their first debate of the 2015 election campaign

By Tom Fletcher Federal party leaders squared off in their first TV debate on August 6, a mostly polite two-hour exchange of

views on the economy, environment and military action overseas.

The environment segment was most focused on B.C., where Prime Minister Stephen

Harper was pressed on stalled pipeline proposals to the west and east coasts as well as to the U.S. Harper said low world prices for energy make it the only sector

that is under-performing, while the rest of the economy is growing.

Green Party leader Elizabeth May urged NDP leader Thomas

Mulcair to oppose the twinning of the TransMountain oil pipeline from Alberta to its Burnaby terminal. Mulcair stuck to his position that he will

await a federal environmental review.

Harper noted that Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has opposed capital cost allowances for liquefied natural gas investors, weakening the case for new gas pipelines. He said his government approved the Northern Gateway pipeline proposed to run to Kitimat with more than 200 conditions, because “that’s how the system works.”

Trudeau and Harper sparred over greenhouse gas emission efforts, with Harper noting he moved ahead on curbing coal power plant emissions three years before U.S. President Barack Obama.

Harper agreed that approval of the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to southern U.S. refineries will likely have to wait for Obama to leave office next year.

May said Harper is nowhere near meeting his own commitment to curb emissions, as forest fires rage and extreme weather increases all year

around.

The debate moderator, Maclean’s magazine columnist Paul Wells, asked Harper if he owes Canadians an apology for appointing since-suspended senators Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau.

Harper did not apologize, saying the provinces need a consensus to reform the senate through elections as he proposed, or to abolish it.

Mulcair and Trudeau oppose the current bombing missions against Islamic State terrorist targets in Syria and Iraq. Mulcair said he would support military action sanctioned by the United Nations or under Canada’s NATO commitments.

Harper said the deployment of six fighter jets with special forces support is what Canada’s allies want to do, and Islamic State is a “nerve centre” for a global movement that has targeted Canada specifically.

a Type 2 drought has prompted a very different effort.

This June the Elk River Alliance (ERA) and a small group of volunteers deconstructed three manmade weirs that were obstructing fish passage in Coal Creek, a tributary of the Elk River, after a large Bull trout was found dead.

Ayla Bennett, Program Coordinator of the Elk River Alliance, recorded a stream temperature of 21 degrees in lower Coal Creek, just under the airport subdivision bridge, four degrees higher than the optimal growth temperature for Westslope cutthroat trout and 6 degrees higher than a bull trout tolerates.

Why should we care?

Angling is a growing industry that the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC estimates generates nearly 1 billion dollars a year with $144 million in federal and provincial tax revenues. Businesses such as the Elk River Guiding Company and Kootenay Fly shop depend on healthy fish populations to guide

clients, market for their fishing gear, and visitors brought into the Elk Valley through fishing supports the local accommodators, restaurants, bars and other services.

The low flow in the river can be explained by a reduced snow pack, especially at low elevations with increased rain on snow events this past winter and high sustained summer air temperatures. Although the weather patterns this year are not unusual in the last 10,000 years, there is global evidence to support these types of extremes are becoming more and more frequent.

“This is an exceptional year where fishing has recently been banned in many Southwestern regions in B.C.”, said local hydrologist, Ryan Macdonald, PhD, working on the Elk River Flood Solutions Strategy with the ERA. Macdonald attributes “the cascading effects of increase in human population with an increase in demand for water that leads to our

heightened awareness of this drought.”

The Kootenay region is one of the few areas that has not banned fishing in B.C. As water temperatures rise, streams hold less dissolved oxygen and fish are stressed. Fish may stay in deeper cooler ponds during this part of the year leaving them vulnerable to predators and an easy catch for anglers. To minimize stress during catch and release practices, always use barbless hooks, keep the fish underwater when releasing, and avoid touching its gills.

“It is a tough year for the fish, and it is our responsibility to not inhibit their passage and use good practices that conserve the fishery for future generations,” says LeeAnne Walker, ERA Executive Director.

The Elk River Alliance is committed to keeping the Elk River fishable. To learn more or to get involved, visit our website www. elkriveralliance.ca or like us on Facebook.

Province using wildfires to train firefighters from South Africa

Photo bc wildfire service

Aircraft including the Hawaii Mars waterbomber have been assigned to combat the Wood Lake fire near Harrison Hot Springs.

As forest firefighters from Ontario and Australia head home home, a group of 25

firefighters from South Africa have arrived in B.C. to assist and train with crews still

busy with 140 fires.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson said the South Africans

were to arrive in Abbotsford this week for orientation, after training with crews in Alberta. They are paired with B.C. firefighters to continue training to internationals standards, as they were doing in Alberta.

About 150 other visiting firefighters, mostly from Ontario and Australia, are expected to have headed home by Aug. 11.

Thomson said there were 31 new fire starts over the B.C. Day long weekend, 13 of them human caused.

That includes the Wood Lake fire near Harrison Hot Springs, which expanded to 600 square kilometres early this week.

After unsettled weather and thunderstorms across B.C., a high pressure ridge was expected to rebuild by Thursday, bringing more temperatures in the upper 20s by the weekend.

Southeast Fire Centre update: Much of the smoke that’s currently visible in parts of the Southeast Fire Centre is not coming from wildfires in B.C., but instead emanating from fires in Oregon, California and Washington.

Smoke can travel long distances depending on the prevailing winds, but there are currently no new fires in the Southeast that would create the

amount of smoke that’s now moving through the area.

However, people in the communities of Invermere and Kimberley may also see smoke from five wildfires that have burned a total of 615 hectares east of Riondel and Boswell, in the St. Mary’s Valley and Redding Creek regions.

Provincial government ecologists have determined that fire could help increase biodiversity at the five sites, so those particular fires are being allowed to burn as “modified response” fires under the supervision of BC Wildfire Service personnel.

Continued hot and

dry conditions may result in periods of increased fire behaviour, but these wildfires are being monitored by BC Wildfire Service personnel to ensure that they remain within preestablished boundaries and are not exhibiting significant growth.

To report a wildfire or an open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

NDP candidate hosts barbecue encouraging youth to vote in October few decades.

“It is especially important for a party like the NDP to target youth because they offer the incredible opportunity for millennials to elect the first NDP federal government,” Mr. Knight

said. “This would give people our age the chance to begin our own political legacy.”

Not all the attendees at the event fit into the youth demographic. David Schindler, a retired professor of ecology from the

University of Alberta, was brought in by Mr. Stetski because of his knowledge of environmental issues and his experience mentoring youth.

“I think that youth ought to realize that they are one of the

biggest and most influential groups,” Mr. Schindler said.

“I think what they have been lacking is information and that is why events like this are good.”

Approximately 25 supporters and undecided youth voters (holding Tom Mulcair beard signs) attended Kootenay-Columbia NDP candidate Wayne Stetski’s (back row, far right) barbeque in Invermere on July 28th.

by Kevin Nimmock, Invermere Valley Echo Youth from across the valley met in Invermere on July 28th to attend a barbecue hosted by Kootenay-Columbia NDP Candidate Wayne Stetski.

The event was Mr. Stetski’s second youthoriented barbecue, coming of the heels of one he organized in Cranbrook. He said it is important to make a strong effort with younger voters, since the 18 to 34 age demographic has traditionally had the lowest voter turnout during federal elections.

“This is their country and this is their future,” Mr. Stetski said. “We are trying to make sure that youth

interests are considered.”

At the barbecue, attendees shared their thoughts on several key election issues, such as the environment, security and child care. Local organizer Brodie Smith said it is important to allow youth the chance to ask questions and learn from their federal candidates.

“I know a lot of young people in the area here who have not been participating in democracy by not voting and not caring because they do not know enough about it,” Mr. Smith said. “I grew up here and I know a lot of people from here, so I thought it would be a good opportunity

for me to encourage my friends and other people to come and learn a bit and get involved.”

Since Canada has approximately seven million eligible youth voters, Mr. Smith emphasized how important the age demographic could be to the country’s future.

“As a whole, if we went and voted, we would have a lot of power in an election like this,” Mr. Smith said.

Corey Knight, a 19-year-old who attended the event, said political parties who do not target youth are doomed to cynicism and an eventual loss of popularity, since today’s youth will run Ottawa in a

Fernie is one step closer to cycling bridge after provincial assist

Photo submitted

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, centre, presents a cheque for $71,000 to (from left): Regional District of East Kootenay Electoral Area A Director Mike Sosnowski, Fernie Trails Alliance president Terry Nelson, Fernie Trails Alliance director John Shaw and Fernie Mayor Mary Giuliano.

The provincial government is providing a $71,000 Bike BC grant to assist with construction of a cycling bridge in Fernie.

The Fairy Creek Bicycle Bridge will be a 25-metre-long, two-metre-wide covered cyclist/pedestrian bridge connecting downtown Fernie to five residential and commercial neighbourhoods.

BikeBC is the provincial government’s cost-sharing program that helps local governments build cycling projects that attract and support commuter, recreational and tourism cyclists and pedestrians. The B.C. government is providing half of the project’s cost of $142,000.

“The Highway 3 bridge over Fairy Creek is so busy, it’s not safe for hikers or bikers and especially not for school children who have to walk

and cycle on this busy highway,” Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett said. “This grant will not only strengthen the tourism infrastructure for Fernie, the new bridge will keep people safe.”

“The construction of a bicycle bridge over Fairy Creek will address a long-standing safety concern by allowing cyclists to access a popular trailhead without having to compete with traffic on our busy highway,” Fernie Mayor Mary Giuliano said. “The City of Fernie is very grateful to Minister Bennett and the provincial government for this grant that will assist in making the Fairy Creek Bicycle Bridge a reality.”

“As the Fernie area sees growth in both residential occupation and recreational participation, the need to provide a safe, convenient, non-motorized transportation route

has become more of a necessity,” Fernie Trails Alliance president Terry Nelson said. “A bridge has been contemplated at this location for more than 20 years, and the Fernie Trails Alliance thanks the B.C. government for its support in our efforts to make Fernie a more healthy and vibrant community.”

This project is part of B.C. on the Move, the B.C. government’s 10-year transportation plan.

B.C. on the Move has committed $18 million over the next three years to the BikeBC program.

This year’s investment of $6 million will generate more than $12 million in cycling infrastructure across the province.

Community Paramedicine Initiative announced for the area An innovative partnership announced earlier this year to benefit patients and help sustain the presence of paramedics in rural and remote communities is now being launched in the Interior Health region.

Creston and Princeton have been selected as communities in Interior Health for the Community Paramedicine Initiative introduced

by BC Emergency Health Services

(BCEHS).

“Community paramedicine is enabling us to develop an integrated approach to patient care to best suit the unique needs of each community population,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “We know that health-care providers in rural and remote areas may face challenges and we value their guidance in how we can best engage local paramedics to address gaps in service.”

Home Services/Contractors Directory

Under the initiative, paramedics will provide primary care services within their scope of practice to increase access to basic health-care services in non-urgent settings, in partnership with local health-care providers.

The enhanced role is not intended to replace care provided by health professionals such as nurses, but rather to complement and support the work these important professionals do each

day.

BCEHS has been coordinating the implementation of community paramedicine in BC with the Ministry of Health, the province’s health authorities, and the Ambulance Paramedics of BC (CUPE 873).

Communities in northern BC were announced in April 2015, with Vancouver Island communities expected to be announced later this summer. This mea-

sured start allows BCEHS to focus on one health authority at a time, and to develop the contacts needed in each community to ensure community paramedics will be wellintegrated members of the established health-care teams.

“This new role in community health is well suited for BC’s highly trained paramedics,” said Bronwyn Barter, President of the Ambulance Paramedics of BC (CUPE 873). “With the community paramedicine program will come enhanced patient care and new full-time career opportunities across the province.”

In phase one, BCEHS paramedic unit chiefs will help confirm the specific services required in the community, which community paramedics, given their training, are able to provide.

It is expected that community paramedics will be delivering community health services in the initial communities, including Creston and Princeton in the fall of 2015. The program

will be expanded to additional rural and remote communities across the province in the coming months.

“Paramedics have long been vital partners on the health-care team,” said Interior Health Board Chair Erwin Malzer. “We welcome this innovative new approach to expand communitybased care for rural and remote communities in the Interior.”

The Province of British Columbia and BCEHS have committed to creating at least 80 new full-time equivalent positions (FTEs) to support the implementation of community paramedicine programs over the next four years.

“BCEHS is continually striving to find new and better ways to provide patient care and to strengthen its ability to respond to medical emergencies,” said BCEHS Executive Vice President Linda Lupini. “Enhancing the talents and skills of paramedics in a community-based setting will help keep paramedics engaged in remote communities that have low call volumes.”

The Community Paramedicine Initiative aligns with the recently released Rural Health Services in BC: A policy framework to provide a system of quality care, which was created as a planning document to identify common concerns and policy directions, and will be joined together into a rural health strategy.

This strategy will help guide the future of rural health care for British Columbians.

BCEHS governs the emergency medical services system in BC and provides residents, visitors and health-care professionals with pre-hospital emergency and interfacility patient transfer services. BCEHS oversees the BC Ambulance Service and the BC Patient Transfer Network and is supported by the Provincial Health Services Authority.

Interior Health is committed to promoting healthy lifestyles and providing a wide range of quality health-care services to more than 730,000 people living across BC’s vast interior.

Wilks amenable to candidate debates provided conditions are met As well, they want questions to be collected in advance in order to “create efficiency and reduce duplication” and “allow maximum time for the four candidates to engage in debate.”

M e a n w h i l e, Randy Driediger, the president of the Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce, says the chamber won’t be organizing this year’s debate due to lack of time. There is no word yet on who will step up to take their place.

Wilks issued his own conditions despite the fact the other three candidates have been working to organize a debate schedule for several weeks now.

A month ago, NDP candidate Wayne Stetski issued his own challenge to his opponents to organize debates in Revelstoke, Cranbrook, Fernie, Creston, Nelson, Invermere, Kimberley and Golden over the course of the campaign.

The challenge was accepted by Liberal candidate Don Johnston and Green Party candidate Bill Green, who also suggested debates in Salmo, Kaslo and the east shore of Kootenay Lake.

Wilks rejected it, saying he wouldn’t respond until the official campaign started.

Now that the campaign is underway, he’s proposed his debate conditions.

Stetski said he, Johnston and Green would continue to work on their own debate schedule — whether Wilks participates or not.

“Our committee will look at all proposals, but in the end we are going to go with the debates that give the maximum opportunity for the public to have their concerns expressed and their questions answered,” said Stetski. “Three of the four parties have agreed to work together. Mr. Wilks has not.”

Prices in Effect

In an interview, Wilks said that until Sunday he had been focusing on his job as MP and not the campaign.

“Once the writ was dropped, I was able to sit down with my campaign team and set out the course that we felt we wanted to do,” he said.

When asked specifically why he chose to adopt his own course, and not take part in the three-party committee that’s already formed, he replied: “I haven’t seen one date from the NDP candidate, not one. Have you?”

Wilks said the lack of Chamber involvement wouldn’t preclude him from taking part in a Revelstoke debate.

“I’d prefer if the Chamber’s got involved because for the most part they’re non-partisan groups that have the capability of putting it together,” he said. “They’ve done it in the past, they can do it this time as well.”

ONE WEEK ONLY VOGUE Aug. 13 - 19, 2015

by Alex Cooper Revelstoke Times Review The debate over election debates continues with MP David Wilks issuing his conditions for a series of all-candidate forums in the

Kootenay-Columbia riding.

In a news release, the Conservative Party campaign team said they would only take part in debates organized by local Chambers of Commerce, and only

between September 21 and October 2.

“Voting is a solemn obligation. The conduct of formal debates should reflect that responsibility and be encouraged by organizations that are non-partisan,” the

Conservatives said in a news release. “To facilitate understanding and comparison of the differences between parties, structure and orderly format for candidate dialogue is of paramount importance.”

RCMP arrest youth on drug warrant A 16 year old Burnaby youth was taken into police custody following the execution of a drug search warrant on July 31st, 2015, in Cranbrook.

The Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction Unit received information on a suspected drug trafficker residing in a local motel. A search warrant under the Controlled Drugs

and Substances Act was obtained and executed which resulted in the seizure of a ½ ounce of cocaine, 86 Fentanyl pills and $4,000 in cash.

“The Crime Reduction Unit continues to be busy and diligent in working to keep illicit drugs off the streets of Cranbrook” stated S/ Sgt Dubnyk. “This was a great example of

the Crime Reduction Unit working closely with Cranbrook Detachment officers to act quickly on this information.”

“There has been a tremendous amount of media attention about recent overdose deaths related to fentanyl ingestion. Cranbrook is not exempt from these kinds of drugs so the police continue to cau-

tion local residents of the extreme dangers associated to illicit drug use and in particular fentanyl. In the past few months the Cranbrook/Kimberley Crime Reduction Unit has seized several ounces of cocaine, crack cocaine, thousands of fentanyl pills and tens of thousands of dollars from suspected drug traffickers” Dubnyk added.

The Weekday View

Opinion: No excuses for not voting “No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” ~Winston Churchill.

by Brian Coombs Many years ago, in a time after the dinosaurs but before cell phones, this writer was studying political science in university.

After a brief introduction to the various types of government, (democracies, theocracies, dictatorships, federalism, etc) our

Monday, August 10, 2015 Kootenay News Advertiser

professor asked what we thought was the best form of government.

Being younger and essentially an idiot, I saw our country’s problems in black and white. So I wrote a paper calling for an authoritarian form of government for our country. I wrote this for two reasons: 1) I had found early in my university career that taking a view that opposed the majority often earned higher marks.

2) I thought that a benevolent dictatorship had the maneuverability to get what needed to be done far quicker than a parlia-

mentary system.

Needless to say, I was dead wrong and my professor let me know.

A student in my study group who had grown up in China was also quick to let me know what it was like to live in a completely command economy.

To put it simply, authoritarian states suck for everyone not in power.

In an authoritarian state, such as North Korea, or Bahrain, or in a “consultative authoritarian regime” like China, or even in an “authoritarian and managed democracy”, like Russia, the people have little or no choice in what they do or how they do it. This isn’t to say that these people can’t purchase goods or live a fairly comfortable life—provided they never, ever

even think of challenging their leader’s ideas—even if those ideas are causing widespread suffering.

Now not all authoritarian regimes have to rely on a strong military. Over the years a new form of dictatorship has been forming with the use of what political scientists call “soft control.”

Soft control is when a government distracts people from health care and education under-funding, slashed social and environmental programs, increased corruption and corporate handouts by making people comfortable.

This is worth mentioning because of a troubling trend in the past few years. While there are plenty of people talking politics on social media,

these numbers are not translating to the voting booth. The view, while never actually stated by those who don’t vote, is that as long as they have their various digital devices, food in the fridge and reality TV, why bother voting?

Well, sometimes our rights and freedoms are taken away by force. Other times they are taken away through pleasant distractions. The one thing for sure is that eventually, if unchecked by the populace, all governments become authoritarian or corrupt.

Our present system of democracy in Canada has its share of problems, but like all democracies, it has a potential for greatness. It recognizes that we, the citizens, are

owners of our natural resources. It recognizes that sometimes, for any number of reasons beyond our control, we could lose everything but still deserve social programs.

It recognizes that people are intelligent and should have a say in how their country is run.

People have been killed defending their right to vote. Deciding not to vote gives away, freely, all our powers to people who exist only to have power. A democracy where no one votes is no longer a democracy.

Now this article will not change the minds of people who refuse (or just don’t bother) to vote. Hopefully, it will inspire people who do vote to not accept their friends’ lame excuses

when they try to defend their non-voting stance. They may try to give reasons for not voting, but in the words of my father, “Those are reasons, not an excuse.”

Not voting is as inexcusable as not bothering to find out who is running, what they stand for and what they have stood for in the past. Make the people you know who don’t vote feel shame for their inaction. Let them know that you do not accept their reasons as an excuse.

If they drop you as friend over it, they weren’t much of a friend to begin with and you haven’t lost very much. If you manage to change their minds and get them to vote, the whole country gains.

taken a patient route to becoming an author. After graduating, he earned a bachelor of arts degree in history and then went on to add a bachelor of education to his resume. More recently, he has earned a master’s degree in leadership and administration.

Readers can get some background to The Eye of Odin online by delving into Double Cross and Fated, two 10-12,000-word prequels that help set up the series. They are available only online.

Dennis Staginnus’s first novel can be purchased by ordering through Chapters, and it can be found in ebook form at Amazon.ca and other vendors. For more information, visit the author’s website, dennisstaginnus.com.

Headaches

Whether you get migraines, cluster headaches or muscle tension headaches there is almost always a neck component to the head pain.

Likewise, it doesn’t matter if your headaches are brought on by trauma, hormonal shifts, allergies, stress or poor posture, there is almost always a nerve component to the headache as well. Treating key areas of the neck with neural prolotherapy is 80 to 90% effective in eliminating or dramatically reducing the pain AND reducing the frequency and intensity of headaches in the future. All that is needed to guide the doctor in treatment is good listening skills and taking the time to carefully palpate the head and neck to identify what is called a jump sign. A jump sign is elicited when pressing against the neck or head causes pain that makes the patient involuntarily twitch or jerk. Tender areas that cause a jump sign are clues to treating the headache. They identify injured nerves or damaged ligaments that contribute to the underlying cause of headaches.

There are many causes of

headaches, some of which I listed above. In most cases however, the nerve and ligament injury in the neck is a major factor that predisposes a person to being sensitive to the various headache triggers.

In other words, once the underlying nerve and ligament injury in the head and neck is treated, common triggers like stress or hormonal shifts are less likely to cause a headache.

Neural prolotherapy is not a cure for poor diet or lifestyle. Drink water, eat your veggies especially the dark green leafy ones, exercise and sleep. If your headaches are not caused from lifestyle abuse, neural prolotherapy will likely help. An interesting aspect of this type of treatment is that if it is going to be effective, the results are immediate. Treating an active headache will eliminate or dramatically reduce the headache before you get off the treatment table.

Taking pain medication might help the pain but it doesn’t treat the underlying cause. Treating the nerves and ligaments addresses at least part of the underlying cause of the problem which is why it is so effective.
