REVIEW

The longest election campaign in modern Canadian history is officially underway, but for the candidates in Kootenay-Columbia, it started months ago.

“I think most of the candidates have been campaigning already, so it’s not a huge change,” said Bill Green, the Green Party candidate. “It doesn’t change anything for us, we’re going to keep campaigning hard.”

Prime Minister Stephen Harper launched the 42nd federal election campaign on Sun-day morning. At 78 days, it’s the longest since the 1870s, when rolling votes took place around the country.

MP David Wilks responded to the official launch of the campaign with a news release sent out by his predecessor Jim Abbott, who is listed as his senior campaign advisor and media spokesperson.

The press release mostly repeated the words of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who on Sunday said the campaign would be about the economy and security.

“Canadians will be asked to judge who has the proven experience today to keep our economy strong and our country safe,” Harper said.

Wilks, for his part, stated he was looking forward to the campaign and introducing himself to residents within the new riding boundaries.

Kootenay-Columbia is bigger this year, with the addition of Nelson, Salmo and Kaslo adding about 20,000 people to the riding. The vote split in 2011 inside the new boundaries was 50 per cent Conserva-tive, 38.9 per cent NDP, 6.4 per cent Green, 3.5 per cent Liberal, and 1.2 per cent inde-pendent.

There are four candidates vying for elec-tion this year. MP Wilks is the incumbent, having sat in Parliament since the spring of 2011. Wilks spent 20 years in the RCMP and was the mayor of Sparwood for six years prior to being elected. In Ottawa, he has sat on the committees for aboriginal

affairs, official languages, statutory regula-tions, justice and health. He is also chair of the Conservative Law Enforcement Caucus. His private member’s bill calling for manda-tory minimum sentences in the kidnapping of young people was adopted.

The Review contacted Wilks on Monday requesting an interview. We were told he was not available and instead questions were taken by Abbott. He said the Conser-vative’s campaign will be more relaxed in August, before ramping up in September and October.

He said the long campaign will put a big physical and mental demand on the candi-dates.

“The pace you have to go at — in a 37 day campaign I was really, really pushed. I could hardly think or move by the time of elec-tion day,” said Abbott, “It’s more of a per-sonal drag than anything.”

NDP candidate Wayne Stetski was mayor of Cranbrook from 2011 to 2014, when he was defeated in his bid for re-election. Prior to that he worked for the BC Ministry of the Environment, where he spent 22 years as a manager for BC Parks from 1980 to 2002, before becoming the regional manager for the Kootenays — a post he held until 2009.

He was announced as the NDP candidate in February and has been steadily cam-paigning and sending out news releases since then.

Stetski was also not available for an in-terview Monday before press time. His campaign director Joy Orr issued a state-ment on his behalf criticizing Harper for the early writ drop.

“I’ve been actively campaigning, reach-ing out to voters, since the spring,” he said. “And not one of them has indicated that they think we should have a longer official campaign period.”

He repeated the NDP’s position that they were the party that represented change in Ottawa.

“People in Kootenay Columbia are ready

Let the campaigning begin!

A new home that was started without authorization has led to the revelation of water issues that could prove costly for resi-dents of Farrell Road.

The city has denied a building permit for a new home at 906 Farrell Road because of deficiencies in the areas water system.

Unfortunately, the application came only after the property owner constructed the foundation and basement — leaving a part-ly-finished home on the lot and the neigh-bourhood looking at a $220,000 bill to get their water system up to par.

"It's unfortunate we have a project that started without a building permit, and now we're scrambling to come up with a solu-tion," said Mayor Mark McKee.

The issue was brought to council for dis-cussion last Tuesday, July 28. Mike Thomas, the city's director of engineering, explained the situation in a seven-page report outlin-ing what was at issue, and the possible ways to pay for the necessary upgrades.

His recommendation, which was sup-ported by council, was to create a Local Ser-vice Area that would pay for the upgrades over time. Whether the small neighbour-hood – which consists of only 10 lots – sup-ports that remains to be seen.

The area is currently serviced by one four-inch pipe, that connects to a fire hydrant; beyond that the homes are serviced by two 1.5" pipes. Thomas' report says that adding

another house to the system "will reduce wa-ter pressure and flow to adjacent homes."

Perhaps more importantly, the flow to the hydrant is only 30 litres per second, which is half the amount required to meet fire flow regulations.

Thomas said the city wants to install an 8" pipe that would service the neighbour-hood and would connect to the existing four inch pipe at the fire hydrant. Thomas reviewed several options for paying for the upgrades. One was to divert money from

the Illecillewaet River water main crossing project, but that was rejected.

"We'd look pretty foolish if something happened to that water line and we spent money over here," said McKee.

Another option was for the city to pay for the costs up front, and then charge any new developers for the work. It's an option that was used for the Arrow Heights sewer, but Thomas said the charge could scare off fu-ture development.

“Let’s say the city pays the up front cost

and we’re expecting development to pay for it. If that doesn’t happen, the city’s out of pocket," he said. "That would definitely be a risk.”

His recommendation was to establish the LSA. For this to proceed, half the property owners in the area would have to support the project.

They would pay for the upgrades over the next 20 years.

"An LSA allows the residents to decide if this is a project the residents want to part of. If it fails, we can look at other options," said Thomas.

Councillor Scott Duke said the LSA would be a tough sell to the neighbourhood, who would be looking at about $100 per month added to their water bills. "I don't think they're going to bite into it," he said.

Despite that, council voted for the LSA option.

"I think at this point the only way to get water to this area is through the LSA," said coun. Gary Sulz. "I think taking money away from the river crossing is not going to be in our best interest."

The Farrell Road neighbourhood isn't the only one with infrastructure issues. The Big Eddy is the most well known area, but Thomas' report says issues also exist on LaForme Boulevard, west of Columbia Park drive; most of Clearview Heights, Oak Drive, the KOA campground, the airport, parts of Upper Arrow Heights, and the Monashee Estates development at Revel-stoke Mountain Resort.

Council had a busy agenda last Tuesday, July 28. Here's a quick synopsis of what was on their plate:

— A request to annex a property near Revelstoke Mountain Resort into the city has reached the electoral approval level. The so-called treehouse-hotel property, which is owned by David Evans, is up for annexation unless 10 per cent of electors

opposed the request. Evans has asked to join the city in order to access sewer and water services. If you're against it, you have until Sept. 30 at 4 p.m. to let city hall know.

— Council approved the granting of a contract to the MMM Group to develop a Stormwater Management Pan. MMM was the lone proponent to submit a propos-al, and a report from city engineer Mike Thomas said it met all of the city's require-ments, as well as their budget. MMM pro-duced the report on the Big Eddy Water-

works earlier this year.— A public hearing has been set for the

proposed Trans-Canada Highway shopping centre development. The hearing will take place in council chambers on Tuesday, Sept. 8, at 3 p.m., and the public can make input in writing until then, or at the hearing.

— A public hearing on new backyard chicken regulations is set for Tuesday, Aug. 25, at 3 p.m. in council chambers.

— The Revy Riders will receive $15,000 from the Economic Opportunity Fund to build a new trail, as well as a grant-in-aid of $1,522.74 to offset its property taxes.

— The Revelstoke Grizzlies received ap-

proval to expand the beer gardens to take up half the stands at the Forum durig hock-ey games this winter, but the capacity will be limited to 250 people.

— The public nuisance bylaw was ad-opted by council. It calls for a $500 fine for people who get into fights, urinate, or are excessively loud in public.

— In a bit of housekeeping, the City of Revelstoke abandoned several bylaws relat-ing to dropped development and re-zoning applications. They also got rid of a few out-dated polices, including one that said every new councillor was entitled to a blazer and pants or skirt.

As we age, our skin changes. It gets thinner, bruises more easily and can become quite dry. To slow down skin aging, sun sensibly, don’t smoke and keep hydrated.

The type of toothbrush you use is not as important as HOW you use it. Some people prefer the electric toothbrush because some have a timer that forces brushing for at least 30 seconds per quadrant. Others prefer the manual brush, which can be fine if it’s used properly. It’s important to get the brush close to the gums to remove all the plaque

from the gum line.

When you start on a blood pressure-reducing pill for the first time, you may experience light-headedness, extra urination or fatigue. Don’t stop taking the drug. Side effects do lessen with time so stick with it.

Many drug products have moved from “prescription only” to “over the counter”. It wasn’t that long ago you could not buy ibuprofen (for pain and inflammation) or ranitidine (for heartburn) without

a prescription. Even though they don’t need a prescription you should still get some professional advice before using them. Our pharmacists can supply that information.

Our pharmacists’ principal role is not “counting pills” as so many TV stories about pharmacists show. It’s education. We spend the majority of our day talking to doctors and nurses and of course, you, our customers. We enjoy that job. Let our knowledge increase your knowledge about medications.

The City of Revelstoke will receive fund-ing to upgrade the Big Eddy Waterworks, but first it will need electoral approval to move ahead.

David Wilks, the MP for Kootenay-Co-lumbia, joined Mayor Mark McKee on the steps of the Second Street entrance to city hall on Friday to make the funding an-nouncement.

"This project is going to not only ensure the quality of the water of the Big Eddy is even better than it is today, but it's going to also increase the quantity that's available," said Mayor Mark McKee, speaking from the steps of the Second Street entrance to city hall. "Development will be able to move forward unhampered. I'm looking forward to great things happening in the Big Eddy water district."

The three levels of government will each contribute about $1.9 million for the up-grades. The city portion will be borne by the property owners in the Big Eddy, should they vote to go ahead with the works.

The Big Eddy Waterworks requires up-grades in order to meet Interior Health safety standards, and to meet city fire flow requirements.

The project will include upgrades to water mains, installation of a real-time monitor-ing system, and construction of a third well and second reservoir.

McKee said he hopes to put the matter to a vote in the Big Eddy by the end of the year. The city still has to decide if it will hold a referendum, or if they'll opt for an alter-nate approval process, in which at least 10

per cent of property owners would have to express opposition to the spending in order to trigger a referendum.

"If the Big Eddy residents are in favour and the referendum is successful, there's no

reason this project can't be going sometime in the spring and early summer and be com-pleted as quickly as possible," said McKee.

Mike Thomas, the city's director of engi-neering, said they would be working on a design so the project can go out for tender in the spring of 2016, if the spending is ap-proved

George Buhler, a member of the Big Eddy Waterworks Board of Directors, said it wasn't certain the spending would be ap-proved by the Big Eddy.

"The Big Eddy can't afford to pay for a third of the money. That's impossible," he said following the announcement. "I can say standing here that won't happen."

A report on the Big Eddy Waterworks by the MMM Group says property owners will have to pay about $300 per year to cover their share of the upgrades — an amount that will increase by three per cent every year. Commercial and industrial property owners would have to pay $464 and $1,547 respectively.

The funding comes from the Govern-ment of Canada's Small Community Fund, with the provincial government and city both matching the spending. Both senior levels of government are contributing $1,892,677, with the city responsible for the rest.

"I congratulate Mayor McKee and his council on securing this funding," said MP Wilks.

Feds, province commit funding for Big Eddy Waterworks

Disappointment reigns after an appli-cation for funding for a new Revelstoke skateboard park was turned down by the Federal government.

"It's bit of a tough one to swallow because we would have been able to build next year with this money," said Karl Jost, president of the Columbia Valley Skateboard Associa-tion. "It might just delay the project anoth-er year or two."

MP David Wilks gave the bad news in response to a question from the Review at Friday morning's funding announcement

for the Big Eddy Waterworks.He said he didn't know why the applica-

tion was denied."It's merit-based. It's based on what

(Western Economic Diversification Can-ada) decides to fund," he said. "My role in this is to announce the projects that have been funded."

For the CVSA the news came as a shock. They felt their application for $250,000 in funding from the government's $150-mil-lion Canada 150 Fund stood a very strong chance of getting through.

"Our application was spot on. We had a great endorsement, we're shovel-ready," said Jost. "We had a total of $500,000 com-

mitted from two other funders based on getting this grant."

The other potential funders were the Co-lumbia Basin Trust and the Resort Munici-pality Infrastructure Fund; Jost said they both committed to matching any federal funding. He hopes they will maintain their commitment while the CVSA pursues oth-er grant opportunities.

"We have a list of grants, so we're going to concentrate on all those and focus on fundraising and grant writing this win-ter, and see how we look for next year," he said.

The Review is waiting for an explana-tion from Western Economic Diversifi-

cation Canada, the Federal organization tasked with distributing the Canada 150 grants in B.C., as to why funding was de-nied. The organization has made dozens of funding announcements over the past few days.

The CVSA was formed in 2010 with the aim of building a new skateboard park in Revelstoke. It took several years to secure a site; with the city eventually agreeing to let them replace the existing facility in Kovach Park.

Last year, New Line Skateparks was con-tracted to design and build the new park. The plan they came up with was met with rave reviews at an open house in April.

Conservative leader Stephen Harper promised an expanded tax break for hiring apprentices Monday, as parties started an extended summer election campaign.

Campaigning in Laval, Quebec, Harper announced that if his government is re-elected Oct. 19, employers will receive a credit up to $2,500 a year for wages paid to qualifying apprentices for all four years of their training. Harper's Conservatives es-

tablished the program in 2006, with a cred-it of up to $2,000 per year for the first two years, to encourage hiring and training.

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair began his campaign emphasizing signs of weakness in the Canadian economy, with the latest statistics showing the economy contract-ing in the first five months of the year.

"Wages are falling, incomes are stagnant, and household debt is skyrocketing," Mul-cair said at his campaign kickoff in Hull, Quebec. "Middle-class families are working harder than ever, and can't get ahead."

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has also focused his campaign on middle-class vot-ers, with a central policy of reducing tax on middle income and increasing it for the top one per cent of income earners.

Green Party leader Elizabeth May began the campaign in her home riding of Saan-ich-Gulf Islands. Her economic platform also calls for tax increases for the highest income earners, as well as increasing cor-porate income tax rates to 2008 levels.

The early election call increases spending limits for parties and caps it for third-party

advertisers such as labour unions that have been targeting Harper. It also leaves some ridings without nominated candidates.

Another change is in debate formats, as first Harper and then Mulcair declined the traditional debate organized by TV networks. The first national debate is set for Thursday, Aug. 6, hosted by Maclean's magazine.

Among the topics will be sharp differenc-es over Canada's role in the international military action against Islamic State ter-rorists in Iraq and Syria. Harper renewed

Canada's commitment to maintain six fighter jets and special forces support in one of his last acts before calling the election.

Both the NDP and Liberals are promising to end Canadian bomb-ing of Islamic State po-sitions. Mulcair would withdraw all mili-tary personnel from Iraq and Syria, while Trudeau supports keeping military train-ers in place, with both promising increased humanitarian aid.

Lieutenant-Colonel Mason Stalker was suspended from his command after sev-eral serious, sex-related charges were laid against him last week

Stalker, a former Revelstoke resident, was the Commanding Officer of the 1st Battalion, Prince Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry.

The Department of National Defence announced on Tuesday, July 28, that Stalker was charged with a number of sex-related offences relating to a time when he mentored a military cadet corps in Ed-monton between 1998 and 2007.

Later in the day, General Jonathan Vance, the Commander of the Canadian Armed Forces, issued a statement saying Stalker was suspended from his command while the matter was before the courts.

Vance stated he couldn't comment fur-ther on the matter while it was before the courts.

The Canadian Forces National Investi-gation Service charged Stalker with:

— Three counts of sexual assault;— Four counts of sexual exploitation;— One count of sexual interference;— One count of invitation to sexual

touching;— One count of breach of trust by a

public officer.The charges stem from an investigation

that began when the lone victim made a complaint on April 27, 2015, said Joanna Labonte, a spokesperson for the Armed Forces Military Police. Stalker was men-

toring the 2551 PPCLI Army Cadet Corps when the alleged incidents took place

“These are serious and significant charges under the Criminal Code of Cana-da,” said Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Bold-uc, Commanding Officer of the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service, in a new release. “Regardless of a member’s rank and role in the Canadian Armed Forces, the Canadian Forces National In-vestigation Service works diligently and independently from the Canadian Armed Forces chain of command to protect indi-viduals from those who violate the law.”

According to the CBC, Stalker appeared in court last Tuesday, July 28, and was re-leased on bail, with conditions, including staying away from places where children gather such and avoiding contact with ca-dets 18 years of age or younger. Stalker will be tried in criminal court in Edmonton.

Commander Vance, who was named to his post earlier this month, used his first speech to urge members of the armed forces to speak out against harassment and sexual assault. The investigation into Stalker pre-dates Vance's speech.

Stalker grew up in Revelstoke, where he was an active member of the Rocky Mountain Rangers Cadets before joining the Canadian Armed Forces and begin-ning a career that saw the 40-year-old named the Commanding Officer of the 1st Battalion, Princess Patricia's Cana-dian Light Infantry last year. In 2012, he received the Meritorious Service Medal for his actions as a commanding officer in Afghanistan from September 2010 to October 2011.

The Federal and Provincial govern-ments teamed up on Saturday to an-nounce $35-million in funding to twin a stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway east of Revelstoke.

David Wilks, the MP for Kootenay-Columbia, and Greg Kyllo, the MLA for Shuswap, joined Mayor Mark McKee, for the Saturday afternoon announcement.

"We are proud to invest in this transpor-tation project. It will increase commuter safety and improve the flow of traffic to and from Revelstoke along Highway 1,"

said Wilks in a news release.The project will see 2.5 kilometres of the

Trans-Canada Highway twinned around the Illecillewaet brake check 40 kilome-tres east of Revelstoke. The work will also see the brake check station double in ca-pacity, and more exit and entrance lanes added to make it safer for trucks pulling into and out of the brake check.

The move will also provide a safe area to park vehicles during avalanche closures.

"We are pleased to be working with our federal partners to deliver on the commit-ment to increase the number of four lane sections on Highway 1 as well as mak-ing safety improvements to a local brake

check area," said Kyllo. "These improve-ments will ensure truck traffic flows as efficiently as possible along this route, and increased capacity of Highway 1 will ensure the continued movement of goods and people along this important corri-dor."

The federal government is contribut-ing $15.5 million to the project, while the province will be responsible for the rest.

The federal portion is from the New Building Canada Plan, while the provin-cial portion is from a 10-year commit-ment to spend $650 million twinning the Trans-Canada Highway that was an-nounced in 2012.

There was no word as of press time as to when the work will begin.

The Review did not attend the an-nouncement, which came on Saturday af-ternoon of a long-weekend.

The announcement – coming a day be-fore the official start of the Federal elec-tion campaign – was part of a flurry of announcements by the Conservative gov-ernment that saw them announce billions in spending before the writ was dropped. MP Wilks, who was in Revelstoke Friday morning for a separate announcement, had to return from the East Kootenays to announce the spending.

Revelstoke council is facing pressure to abandon its policies relating to secondary suites and vacation rentals.

Early in July, council received let-ters from two owners of legal secondary suites complaining they were being un-fairly targeted by a new business license fee. Why should they have to pay for a business license when owners of rental homes didn't?

Last week, council received a letter from the Revelstoke Accommodation As-sociation saying the city's policy of not pursuing owners of illegal vacation rent-als was hurting local businesses and cost-ing the city money.

Both issues were addressed at last Tuesday's council meeting.

ON SECONDARY SUITES

On secondary suites, council was pre-sented with a staff report explaining how the $50 business license fee came to exist. First, council approved it as part of the business license fee schedule in March, then it became part of fees & charges by-law in May.

The fees for secondary suites and va-cation rentals were presented to council at the same time. The fee for secondary suites was passed without any council discussion.

One property owner complained of the secondary suite fee before it was adopted. The other two letters came after property owners were asked to pay the fee.

Mayor Mark McKee said owners were being asked to acquire a business license as a way of tracking who has secondary suites, and as a matter of safety and se-curity.

"It’s not about the fee," he said during last Tuesday's council meeting. "It’s about knowing whats going on, control, making sure things are done properly and making sure city hall knows where these things are.

“If people around the table are con-cerned about the fee, now is the time to throw it on the table," he added.

No councillor took him up on that chal-lenge, however they did indicate that it was something that was being looked at.

“Some of these things take time and I anticipate we’ll be working on them over time," said councillor Aaron Orlando.

I conducted a follow-up interview with Dean Strachan, the city's manager of de-velopment, to find out why a business license was necessary, when the city al-ready had knowledge of who owned legal secondary suites.

He said the license lets the city know how many secondary suites are in opera-tion at any one time.

"Business licensing adds another tool to our tool box for dealing with problem properties," he added.

Strachan said the city does not hunt down owners of illegal secondary suites, and, like other bylaws, only goes after people if there's a complaint.

"They would have to legalize the suite through a building permit," he said.

He said the city could look at licensing rental houses if council gave the direction to do so.

ON VACATION RENTALS

The letter from RAA stemmed from a policy adopted by council that illegal va-cation rentals would only be dealt with on a complaints basis. According to RAA, there are about 65 illegal vacation rentals in Revelstoke, and the city is forfeiting as

much as $192,000 in licensing fees, fines and taxes by not going after them.

The letter goes on to say that illegal rentals have an impact on housing avail-ability in the city

"Try to imagine the effect that 60 to 100 illegal restaurants or illegal retail stores would have on local business," wrote Norm Langlois, the chair of RAA. "The Revelstoke Accommodation Associ-ation is seeking a 'level playing field' with these new enterprises with consideration to required licencing, zoning, safety re-quirements and tax contributions."

Council responded to the letter by in-viting RAA to address them in person. Council will also be receiving a report on vacation rentals shortly.

I spoke to Strachan following the coun-cil meeting to get an idea of what will be in the report. He said 40 vacation rentals were subject to bylaw enforcement com-plaints since 2012. The city estimated another 20 were in existence. After coun-cil adopted its vacation rental bylaw, the property owners were sent letters asking them to either legalize, or cease to exist.

Since then, six vacation rentals have become licensed. Another 10 responded to the city by saying they stopped opera-tion. Eight got approval by becoming bed & breakfasts.

Strachan added that there were 10 formal complaints about illegal vacation rentals in the winter of 2013-14, and only one last winter.

The city doesn't actively look for illegal vacation rentals.

"We do track in a certain way to look for issues that might be life safety issues," he said. "We're not tracking or pursuing resources that haven't been allocated to that unless we receive a complaint."

Council being asked for fairness on secondary suites, vacation rentals

LIFESTYLES

28TH GLACIER CHALLENGE

The 28th annual Glacier Challenge came and went last weekend, with 64 teams taking part. It's a far cry from the slo-pitch tournament's heyday, but there was still a fun, festive atmosphere in Centennial Park, where the action took place.

Photos, clockwise from the top: The view of Mount Begbie wasn't distract-ing for a member of the Iron Pigs from Calgary.; The Lumby Drillers made it 28 consecutive years at the Glacier Challenge. Many members of the team weren't even alive when the tournament started years ago.; KC Rob-erts & the Live Revolution rock the beer gardens Sunday night.; The Big Eddy Fog Duckers were one of a number of teams representing Revelstoke.; Member of Calgary's Blow Jays enjoy the action while relaxing in the shade.

While today's lively spirited Flamenco often has us wanting to shout 'Ole!', it turns out its roots stem from a nomadic culture that has expe-rienced poverty and homelessness.

“Flamenco comes from a nomadic people who came from the south of Spain — some people refer to them as Roma or Gypsies. These people were landless and homeless. The background of the dance and music, the percussion is all hand-clapping and foot noises because the didn't have any money,” said Lia Grainger, who is artistic di-rector and principal dancer with Fin De Fiesta Flamenco.

At the time of our interview last week, Grainger was in Vancouver rehearsing for Fin de Fiesta Flamenco's first ever tour of B.C. Joining the group will be two Vancouver-based Flamenco dancers Michelle Harding and Maria Avila.

“I know Michelle and Maria from living in Van-couver and dancing here with different Flamenco dancers in B.C. seven or eight years ago.”

In fact, it was in Vancouver that Grainger got her first taste of Flamenco. A former athlete and journalist, Grainger said she was looking to add something more creative into her life.

“I really loved the idea of dance, but I thought, 'What can I do? I'm already 20.'” she said. It was at Kino Cafe in Vancouver that Grainger was able to watch a well-known Flamenco dancer perform. “Her performance gave me goosebumps.”

It was soon after this that Grainger started taking Flamenco classes. She did this for a year before going to Spain to immerse herself in Fla-menco for six months.

“I came home and started performing and then just kept going back to Spain. The thing is, the more you know about Flamenco, the more you know you don't know. A lot of it is improvisation and communication between the musicians and the dancers,” Grainger said.

When asked what inspired her to commit to Flamenco full time, Grainger points out she isn't the first person to make this art form into a ca-reer.

“It kind of becomes an addiction, a way of life,” she tells me. “It's not something you learn and take classes in (although you can). For many peo-ple it becomes who you are.

“It's what I want to do. It's a really passionate and intense art form. Basically the way I feel when I do it is more rewarding than anything else I do. When I'm performing, there's this emotional in-volvement and exchange between the performer and the audience.”

The Fin de Fiesta Flamenco ensemble, includ-ing guitarist Dennis Duffin, will be appearing in Revelstoke on August 7 at the Revelstoke United Church along with a wide range of talented guest artists from across the United States and Cana-da. This tour features acclaimed dancers Michelle Harding and Maria Avila, Los Angeles-based singer Daniel Azcarate, and flautist Lara Wong.

Tickets are $17. Show starts at 7 p.m.

Revelstoke's Julia Dorrius came home with first place from a squash tour-nament in Summerland last weekend.

Dorrius won the Ladies C Division at SquashFEST, winning all three of her matches and only dropping one set along the way against older competition.

She won her first game 3-0, second game 3-1, and then beat Beth Barberre of Edmonton in the finals.

"Julia played fantastic squash all weekend," said her father and coach Kev-in Dorrius. "Despite it being a summer tournament, the event attracts many very strong players."

Up next for Dorrius and the Revelstoke Junior Squash Team is the Revel-stoke Junior Open from Oct. 2–4.

Josh Winger of the Revelstoke Acrobat Club flips through the air at the Canadian National Trampo-line & Tumbling Championships in Calgary. It was Winger's first time competing at the national level and he wound up in 24th place out of 29 athletes in his age-group, many of whom were more experienced at that level of comeptition.

"His first routine did not go as planned and he ended up not being able to finish his full routine, but then he bounced back and had a good showing in his second optional routine," said coach Jef Kline.

Expect to see Winger and the other Revelstoke Acrobats back in the gym shortly to train for the next compe-tition season.

Margaret Jane Norberg1923 - 2015

Margaret “Peggy” Norberg (nee Inkster) passed away peacefully on Thursday July 23, 2015 at the age of 91. Peggy’s life was defined by her strength and grace. Born in Revelstoke British Columbia, on October 6, 1923, Peggy grew up with her Mom (Jean), Dad (Jock), brother (Ian) and sister (Betty). With her parent’s strong Scottish roots, music and dancing were a large part of their lives. Her dad was a worldship piper and played for the Queen of England. Peggy was a hard worker, and after marrying Johnny Norberg, she raised three boys while teaching highland dancing and forming a highland pipe band. Peggy loved the water and spent many wonderful years at her cabin in Mara Lake, hosting friends and family and singing and dancing to the bagpipes. Over the last 10 years, dementia impacted how Peggy was able to live her life, but her spirit and beauty remained. While at times she was unable to recognize those closest to her, her kind and gracious manner remained. Peggy was preceded in death by her husband Johnny, sister Betty, youngest son Ritchie and eldest grandson Bradley. At her time of passing, she was the loving mother to Rod and Randy, grandmother to Blair (Shawna) and Nicole (Simon), great grandmother to Cierra, McKenna and Eli, and sister to Ian. Clear in her wishes, Peggy wanted to contribute to future generations through organ donation, specifically for Alzheimer’s research. Once returned to her family, her remains will be brought to place she loved most, Mara Lake. In true Peggy fashion, she did not want the “fuss” of a funeral. Instead, we will take this time to honour her life by personally reflecting on our favorite memories of her. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society.

“There are no goodbyes, Cheerio” ~ Peggy

Maxton LaurelStoller

Mr. Maxton Laurel (Max) Stoller died suddenly while working in the bush near Revelstoke on Monday, July 27th, 2015 at the age of 65 years.

A memorial reception will be held at St.

Peter’s Anglican Church Hall on Saturday, August 8th from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. with Reverend Dan Meakes officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the charity of one’s choice, in memory of Max.

Max was born in Invermere, B.C. on October 30, 1949 and had been a resident of Revelstoke since the age of 14 years. He had been working as a logger for the past 51 years. Max loved the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, gold panning and mushroom picking. He was an avid reader and especially liked the old westerns written by Louis L’Amour. Max will be remembered as a well- respected, hard-working, very patient man. He loved the time spent with his family and his grandsons were the apple of his eye.

Max is survived by his wife Gloria; two children: Maria (Eric) Somerville and Johnathan Stoller; two grandchildren: Cole and Ethan all of Revelstoke; siblings: John (Patty) Stoller of Barrhead, Alberta, Charlene (Dan) Zacker of Revelstoke, Liz (Ken) Boyd of Golden, Shelley (Dave) Piche of Prince George, Rudy (Cindy) Stoller of Revelstoke, Danny (Gail) Stoller of Quadra Island and Tish (Les) English of Revelstoke; his in-laws: Walter Petruschak of Canoe, Audrey Sproull of Revelstoke, Dave (Debbie) Petruschak of Revelstoke, Shirley Shepherd of Hudson’s Hope and Delores (Jim) Knapp of Revelstoke as well as numerous nieces, nephews and many good friends.

Messages of condolence may be sent to the family by visiting Max’ obituary notice atwww.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com.

Cremation arrangements are in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke, B.C.

Eleanor Shaver

Eleanor Shaver (nee Price) passed away peacefully on April 29th at the age of 91 with family at her side.

Eleanor was a loving, caring, kind, and generous woman who looked after everyone who came into her

home. Since thirteen children weren't enough to raise, she took in many others, showing them true, unconditional love as part of the family circle.

Eleanor loved to garden. She grew many fruits and vegetables to feed her large family, and was well known for her canning, but she truly loved her flowers ... especially pansies.

Because of her interest in people, she made many life-long friends wherever she went. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.

Graveside interment to be held on Aug 8, 2015 at 1:00 PM, to be followed by a Come and Go tea at the Regent Inn in the Mt Begbie Room.

Police want help identifying RONA break-in suspectsA major break-in took place at the RONA

Building Centre last weekend, and police are looking for help identifying the man and woman caught on tape leaving the building.

Employees arrived at the store Saturday morning to find a major theft occurred sometime overnight. They didn't know ex-actly what had been taken at that point, but it didn't look good, said store general man-ager Bobby McLelland, sitting in his truck outside while police were inside.

"To what extreme... it's bad," he said.He said thieves cut the wires to the build-

ing to disable the security system, which in-cluded alarms and video cameras. No alarm went off when the break-in occurred. Police say the suspects also damaged the hard drive for the video surveillance system.

The suspects appeared to have cut a fence at the side of the building to gain entrance into the garden centre yard. They then smashed the windows of the main build-ing, broke into the store, and made off with what they could — including a number of

Makita brand power tools and an unknown amount of cash. The value of what was sto-len is estimated in the thousands of dollars.

McClelland said they also ransacked the Vic Van Isle offices upstairs. "This affects the whole community,"he said.

Somewhat fortunately, the suspects weren't completely successful in destroy-ing the security system and police were able to extract images of the culprits from the video surveillance system.

One suspect is described as a white male, w e a r i n g

shorts, a dark hoodie, white shirt, running shoes, a blue cap and white glasses. The other was a white female wearing a light blue hoodie with dark knicker style pants, gloves and shoes.

The Revelstoke Bottle Depot was also broken into, but owner Harman Dhanoa said they only had about $200 stolen.

Anyone with information about the break-in is asked to call the RCMP detach-ment at 250-837-5255 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

to choose a strong voice to represent them in Ottawa,” he stated. “I’m hearing that message loud and clear.”

Don Johnston is the Liberal candidate.

A resident of Nelson, he is the former CEO of the Columbia Basin Trust and Canada World Youth,

He said the long campaign will be chal-lenging, and expensive, because of the rid-ing’s size. He added that it will be difficult

to engage with people in August. He and his campaign team will be working out a sched-ule for the campaign this week.

“We’re going to have to pace ourselves,” he said on the phone from Nelson. “I think all candidates are going to have to work

hard while at the same time realizing this has become a marathon.”

Bill Green is representing the Green Party for the second time, after finishing third in the 2011 election. A resident of Kimberley, he has worked around the world to protect

aquatic ecosystems. He is director of the Ca-nadian Columbia River Inter-tribal Fisheries Commission, a group which aims to restore the salmon run to the Columbia River.

His strategy will be to circle the community and knocking on doors.

“We don’t think (the campaign) is going to be won with dollars, we think it’s going to be won by meeting as many people as I can on their doorsteps,” he said.

One of his goals is to encourage the youth vote, which he believes will benefit the Green Party.

One issue that is cer-tain to come up is the all-candidate debates. The NDP, Greens, and Liberals have been working on establishing a debate schedule, but so far Wilks has yet to join them.

“Voters deserve a chance to see (all candi-dates) face-to-face and have a chance to hear what they’re all about and ask questions,” said Johnston.

In 2011, Wilks only attended three out of seven debates. Abbott said the Conservatives would be sending out a news release regarding the debates this week.

The long election campaign means can-didates will be able to spend a maximum of about $200,000, some-thing that should ben-efit the Conservatives.

The federal election takes place on Monday, October 19.

WE WANT YOUR QUESTIONS:

The Revelstoke Re-view will be asking ques-tions of the candidates throughout the cam-paign and publishing their answers in the pa-per. If you have a ques-tion you want answered, e-mail it me at [email protected] or call 250-837-4667? We prefer ques-tions for all the candi-dates to answer, but specific ones directed at a single candidate are OK as well.
