Car thieves kept Revelstoke RCMP busy on Friday, and the end result was one arrest in the Pharmasave parking lot Friday afternoon. Police were called to their first incident at around 1 a.m., when they were alerted to a suspicious man attempting to steal an older model truck on the 1400 block of Victoria Road. RCMP responded immediately, but the man fled the area on foot before they arrived. A few minutes later, police saw a suspicious truck heading westbound on Victoria Road. They tried to stop the suspect, but the truck fled on the Trans-Canada Highway towards Sicamous. Police then learned the burgundy 2004 Ford truck was stolen from the 1100 block of Second Street West. The culprit is believed to a white male about 40 years old. Later that morning, RCMP found a white Ford truck with a stolen licence plate near Wales Street; both were from Calgary. Police believe the man who stole that vehicle dumped it in Revelstoke and made off with the burgundy vehicle. Finally, at around noon, police were called to the Pharmasave parking lot after witnesses observed suspicious activity. Several people told the Review that two people had slept in a Ford F250 overnight. The truck had been stolen from Vermillion, Alta., police said. An 18-year-old woman and 21-year-old male, both from Alberta were arrested and detained while police searched the vehicle. Three RCMP officers attended the scene, including one who showed up in an unmarked vehicle. According to witnesses, the police had their guns drawn when they made the arrests. The investigation revealed the man was alleged to have attempted to steal two trucks early Thursday morning. He was arrested and charged with two counts of mischief to property and one count of possession of stolen property. He is scheduled to appear in Revelstoke court on October 7. The woman was released without charge. Anyone with knowledge about any of these incidents is asked to call the Revelstoke RCMP at 250837-5255 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Revelstoke crime down to lowest level in decades STATISTICS CANADA RELEASED CRIME RATE STATISTICS FOR 2014 LAST WEEK. WE CRUNCHED THE NUMBERS TO SEE HOW REVESTOKE FAIRS COMPARED TO OTHER COMMUNITIES, AND WHAT CRIMES WERE MOST COMMON HERE. ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com The Revelstoke crime rate was down significantly in 2014 for the second consecutive year, dropping by more than 14 per cent from 2013. There were 784 incidents recorded by the Revelstoke RCMP in 2014 — 617 within city limits and the rest in the rural area. The crime rate for the city, which excludes traffic violations, was 5,927 per 100,000 people — the lowest level since at least 1998 (the available statistics only go back that far). The B.C. crime rate was 7,599 per 100,000 people last year. Revelstoke fairs well compared to other communities, though comparisons are difficult because some cities serve as the business centre for large rural populations, driving up crime rates. Still, looking at only statistics for municipal police forces, Revelstoke ranks 26th out of 75 communities. The Crime Severity Index – which measures crime based on its severity (a murder is weighted higher than a petty theft) – also dropped in Revelstoke, to 59.43, a 15 per cent decline from the previous year. The provincial rate was 91.63. "Revelstoke is an extremely safe place to be," said Staff-Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky. "Our violent crime CSI is extremely low." Revelstoke RCMP also do well when it comes to clearing incidents. Of 427 criminal code violations (not including traffic) in Revelstoke, 37 per cent were cleared and 18 per cent resulted in charges. Province-wide, 27 per cent of violations were cleared and 15 per cent resulted in charges.

MARIJUANA NUMBER ONE Marijuana possession is the top crime in Revelstoke, according to the data released by Statistics Canada, but local police say they don't target pot smokers — it's just that there's a lot of the stuff passing through here, and it's an easy one to uncover. "I would say that it's usually just very easy to catch," said Grabinsky. "There's a lot of product being moved on this highway. A lot of marijuana being moved from community to community that probably feeds the east of Canada, and if we're on the highway, we will locate it." The Revelstoke RCMP charged 206 people with possession of marijuana last year, with 105 of those people caught within city

MINOR THEFTS COMMON The second most common type of crime was theft under $5,000, of which there were 122 reported incidents last year. Grabinsky said lots of these were cases of thieves going after easy targets. "A large number of the ones we're receiving reports on are unlocked, unattended, vehicle idling, vehicles with keys in them, bikes without locks, garages without locks," he said. "It's those kinds of things that we are seeing and we are working very hard in the community to get people to secure their items. "I think if we can get the message out to see Crime, page 14

limits and the rest in the rural area, which includes people caught on the Trans-Canada Highway. In the city alone, the crime rate for cannabis possession in Revelstoke is 1,458 per 100,000 people, the highest amongst municipal police forces in B.C. and more than 4.5 times the provincial rate. "It is a lifestyle and it is sometime considered an open lifestyle in a community like Revelstoke," said Grabinsky. "When it's such an open lifestyle, it's easy for the police to observe it, and it's easy for the public to complain. When they do, we attend to it and manage the report." According to Statistics Canada, Nelson, which has a reputation as a major marijuana centre, had a marijuana possession rate of 562 per 100,000 people. In Whis-
tler, the rate was 1,069 per 100,000 people. Only Williams Lake, with a rate of 1,302 per 100,000 people came close. Of 105 incidents of marijuana possession in city limits, less than a quarter were charged, while 72 are listed as "cleared otherwise." Grabinsky said circumstances will dictate whether or not someone is charged. "It depends on the possession amount. It depends on whether the person possesses a license," he said. "However, if we find a person with 10 kilograms of marijuana, the police officer will use their discretion and choose to charge." This reflects the experience of Dinah Collette, a pro-marijuana activist and owner of the Spice O' Life Emporium, which sells smoking paraphernalia. She said she never hears of people getting charged for marijuana possession, but does frequently hear of people getting their pipes or other smoking devices confiscated.

BC RIVER FORECAST CENTRE SAYS CONDITIONS HERE ARE NORMAL, HOWEVER LOCAL STREAMS FLOWS ARE HITTING RECORD LOWS.
We're still many factors of safety off anything I'd be worried about. ~ City engineering director Mike Thomas ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com It's hard to worry about water in Revelstoke. We're in a rainforest, and the Columbia River and it's many tributaries gather the snow melt and the rain and send a seemingly endless flow of water past our banks. Still, it's hard to avoid the news that drought conditions are increasing in the rest of the province. As of July 21, the BC River Forecast Centre rated conditions as extremely dry in the Lower Mainland, lower Fraser Valley, south coast and Vancouver Island. The Okanagan and Shuswap areas were rated very dry, while much of the Kootenays was rated dry. In Vancouver, the drought has resulted in the regional government imposing stage three water restrictions for the first time since 2003, meaning residents can no longer water their lawns. Vancouver's reservoirs are at 69 per cent of capacity and officials hope the restrictions will allow them to stay there until the usual fall rains arrive. Fishing has been banned on some rivers in order to protect the fishery. By now, we know what's happened to the weather. Precipitation was around historic normals for the first half of the winter, but warmer temperatures resulted in an early freshet, meaning local streams reached peak flow earlier than usual. Then, we entered a prolonged hot and dry spell, accelerating the melt. In Revelstoke, rainfall was less than half historic norms in May and June, and July has been drier than usual too. The Revelstoke area is rated as one on the River Forecast Centre's drought scale. That means
things are considered normal, however Environment Canada streamflow data shows local creek flows hitting 50-year lows. Two rivers are measured in the Revelstoke area – the Illecillewaet near Greeley Creek, and the Goldstream near the Columbia River – and they both dropped below the previous recorded lows last week. Records go back to the early 60s. Wenda Mason, a manager at the B.C. River Forecast Centre, said much of the province is in the grip of low winter snowpacks combined with a drought and early and continuing high temperatures. “It’s more typical of late August than mid-July,” she said. All that said, there's only one creek that matters to Revelstokians when it comes to our day-to-day lives, and that's Greeley Creek, where the city gets most of its water from. Even it appears to be drier than usual, though the data is quite limited because the city only monitored the creek's discharge regularly in 2007 and 2008, and infrequently in 2009 and 2012. To see what's happening, the city has gone back and measured the creek flow twice this month. The measurements are taken below the city's water intake, meaning they show what's left in the creek after the city takes it's share. The first reading was taken July 8; it showed a flow of 2,257 litres per second. At around the same time in 2007, the flow was between 6,000 and 7,500 litres per second. In 2008, it was about 5,000 litres per second. The city took another reading last Thursday, July 23. I watched as the city's technician Derek Continued on next page

New backyard chicken rules proposed ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com New rules that will allow Revelstokians to legally keep backyard chickens were introduced to council this week. The amendments to the city's animal control bylaw were set to be given first and second reading at Tuesday's council meeting, and a public hearing scheduled for Tuesday, August 25. The amendments set out the regulations for keeping backyard chickens — something many people already do. Chickens can be kept in any single-family home in town, and chicken keepers must either own their property or have permission from the owner. The cannot be kept on multi-family lots or in mobile home parks. A rule that restricted hens to properties of 7,500 square feet or larger was removed from the bylaw. Hen keepers can keep a maximum of five hens and must have a license from the city. They are required to have a hen enclosure that's Learners, from page 17 Low took the measurements. He recorded a flow of only 1,500 litres per second. Mike Thomas, the city's director of engineering told me the creek doesn't reach those that level until well into August. "We're probably five weeks ahead in terms of that stream flow," he said. The flow is also above annual lows, which, based on the minimal available data, appear to bottom out between 200 to 300 litres per second in February. The good news is that the city only takes a fraction of the creek's water. On July 22, the city withdrew 127 litres per second from the creek, but Thomas said that was a particularly high day where the city was refilling the Trans-Canada Reservoir. Normally, it takes out about 80 per cent of that amount. Right now the city is on stage one restrictions, meaning water can only be used for sprinkling or irrigation from 6–10 a.m. The city runs its well at the golf course to help meet the morning demand. Even with Greeley Creek providing more than enough water for the city's need, there is the possibility the province could impose restrictions if it deemed the area was entering into a drought.
at least 0.9 square metres per hen and located in a fenced rear or side yard. The pen can't be within five metres of a neighbour's home and must be covered on all sides and on top. Owners must also have a chicken coop that is at least one square metre per hen, and no more than two metres high. The maximum size of the coop and pen is 7.5 square metres. Hens must be fed and cared for, and the enclosure must be maintained. Steps to reduce wildlife attractants must be taken. Eggs can only be use for personal consumption, and roosters are not allowed. The issue of keeping backyard chickens has been on and off the city agenda for years. A bylaw allowing for keeping hens was presented to council in 2013, but it appeared to have fallen the wayside. The city's environmental advisory committee requested it be revived in May. The lack of a bylaw hasn't stopped anyone from purchasing and raising hens; a staff report estimates 35 households are raising chickens within city limits. "If they go to a drought level three or four, there may be stream withdrawal reductions," said Thomas. "That may prompt the city to have to implement a higher-level of water restriction." One thing Thomas would like to do is prepare a drought plan that would set out triggers for when the city imposes water restrictions. He's budgeted $60,000 in 2016 for a water supply review. "What would our contingency be? What would our response be? What's the golf course well capable of producing?," he said. "Try to come up with a solution that provides that drought level water supply for the community." Revelstoke's water supply appears to be secure. The Greely watershed drains a large area to the north and east of Mount Mackenzie and Ghost Peak. The big snowpack essentially serves as a reservoir for the city, providing an abundant supply of fresh water year-round. Thomas said he's not concerned about the city's water supply, but he still wants to see how fast it's declining this summer, which is why the city has resumed measuring creek flow. "Is it on a rapid downward trend or is it on a gradual downward trend?" he said. "We're still many factors of safety off anything I'd be worried about. But how's that going to change over the rest of the summer?" With files from Kamloops This Week

A suggestion for highway intersection
Editor, Here is what I think should happen with this proposed development: 1) Negotiate exchange of land with developer (the dashed line vs. the grey area) for a new access into Revelstoke via overpass to be built now or in future. 2) Utilize current service road past Subway and extend to Woodenhead park looping around to old Big Bend Highway past sani-station back up to Highway 23 North intersection. 3) Allow a right hand turn off of the Columbia River bridge into Revy either at the A&W or the present location. 4) Close the present access to Columbia Park and get rid of traffic light and congestion. 5) Allow a right hand turn onto the Trans-Canada Highway Westbound at the present location from Columbia Park. 6) Re-activate the old original service road from the east that ran behind old Esso station and use it to allow Columbia Park traffic to access Highway 23 North near the Frontier to turn east onto the TCH or come into downtown Revelstoke 7) Would likely have to build a retaining wall along the grave yard cutslope to achieve this. 8) A design might even result in freeing up some land for more business development at the site of the TCH closure and Mutas road junction, which the city could sell to help pay for changes. Short of going back to the original 1962 design and constructing an overpass on the TCH complete with on /off ramp interchange I believe this would be the best solution at the present time to mitigate safety by relieving congestion at the present TCH intersection while addressing the needs of the businesses along the various frontage roads. We would still have the underpass for additional access into downtown – which logging trucks wouldn’t have to use – again
Tony Morabito proposes to make the Highway 23 North/ Bend Road intersection the main entry into Revelstoke. addressing safety by eliminating the log impact hazard. Tony Morabito, Revelstoke
Shopping centre would detract from small town character Editor, As a relatively recent newcomer to Revelstoke (nine years), I would like to comment on the above mentioned proposal. One of the attractions to me of Revelstoke as a small community was its intact, vibrant old downtown with a variety of small independent merchants and businesses. I come from southern Ontario where there are many older small communities. I have witnessed repeatedly in the past half century the gradual deterioration of the old downtowns and hearts of the
communities by the allure of shopping malls on the outskirts of the communities. Rather than enhance the vibrancy of the local communities, these peripheral developments have strangled the heart and character of the older communities. The downtowns wither and die and the town becomes another “cookie cutter’ community with franchised non locally owned and operated enterprises circling the communities. In the future, as Revelstoke moves toward more of a resort community, the
uniqueness, quaintness and vibrancy of our downtown is an essential feature to be maintained to distinguish us from the many other resort communities which lack our heritage. Please don’t be seduced by the allure of new, quick cheaper shopping at the expense of what we have. I believe a development as proposed, would jeopardize what so many of us cherish and love about our community. Sincerely, Robin Brooks-Hill Revelstoke

OPINION
Getting child and youth mental health help through new clinics MENTAL HEALTH
Dr. David Smith
When it comes to young people, early identification and treatment of mental health or substance use issues can be critical.

REVIEW AUGUST LONG OFFICE CLOSURE The Revelstoke Review office will be closed on Friday, July 31st and Monday, August 3rd. We apologize for any inconvenience. Deadlines for advertising for the August 5th edition of the paper are Wednesday July 29th at 4pm for classified ads and Thurday July 30th at 4pm for regular paper ads.
In my series of articles I have been recommending three main actions for parents who know or suspect their son or daughter is experiencing mental health difficulties: 1. Consult one or more of the informative BC websites and organizations available to you. You can connect with other youth and parents with lived experience through the FORCE at forcesociety.com or through the Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre at keltymentalhealth.ca or toll free at 1 800 665 1822. Other helpful sites are anxietybc.ca, mindcheck.ca, or cmha.bc.ca. 2. Talk to your family doctor — in recent years many general practitioners in B.C. have taken extra training in child and youth mental health diagnosis, treatment and management. 3. Call Service BC at 1-800-661-8773 to find the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) office nearest to you. You can also access the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use service map at: www.health.gov.bc.ca/healthyminds/cymhsu-servicesmap.html In this column, I want to focus on MCFD's Child and Youth Mental Health (CYMH) Services, which are offered in more than 80 locations across the province, and in particular their new intake process. The process streamlines and standardizes mental health screening and initial assessments for those under 19 years of age for quicker access to mental health resources. Many families who've never connected with MCFD previously are surprised to learn that community-based CYMH services have been provided under the umbrella of MCFD for close to two decades. While family doctor visits, emergency room services, or hospital admissions all fall under the health system, if your child needs further assessment and treatment or ongoing community-based therapy, you may be referred to MCFD’s Child and Youth Mental Health Services. Psychiatrists, like me, work both with the health authority and MCFD services, depending on whether we see your child in the hospital or in the community through the CYMH clinic. Over the past 18 months the MCFD began a new intake screening and initial assessment process. Previously, access to services took anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Now, under the new streamlined intake, the process typically takes a few hours. It works very much like a walk-in-medical clinic. If you feel your child needs help, all you do is show up to the office closest to you with your child during the intake hours. (Teens can show up on their own without parents, if preferred.) See #3 at the beginning of this column for how to find your nearest clinic. The administrative assistant will give you a form to fill out that asks for basic information, including symptoms and concerns. After the information is entered into the system, an intake clini-
cian will review it and meet with you privately to engage in a brief pre-screening interview. At that time the following options will be considered as next steps: — Is an urgent response (such as hospital admission) required? — Do you need some more information, parenting resources, and/or validation and support? — Would a referral to another community service be better suited for your child’s and family’s concerns? — Or is it appropriate to proceed to the full intake interview to understand more about potential mental health challenges? If it is the latter, the intake clinician will continue with a more in-depth intake interview and screening process. All the while, the clinician will talk with you about the best way to meet your child's needs, whether it is an urgent response, referral to others or acceptance into CYMH services. Those services may include anything from assessment, diagnosis and treatment by a specialist psychiatrist like me, or work with other mental health practitioners such as a nurse or clinical counsellor, especially for specific help like cognitive-behavioural therapy, or group therapy, among many options. At the end of that first intake meeting you are then provided with a copy of a brief plan for initial supports and services -- all in a couple of hours. While there may still be waitlists for specific treatments or specialized services, the intake process is greatly simplified. As one parent recently noted about the new intake system: "I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and welcoming this experience has been .... I am grateful to the clinician for making us feel so comfortable and at ease while talking about some really tough issues concerning my daughter." This new process is expected to be fully available at all offices by the end of 2015 and will support approximately 80 per cent of BC children and youth seeking assessment through MCFD. For the smaller number of children or youth whose symptoms or concerns are much more severe or complex, the CYMH office may arrange alternative options for the first intake. This can include outreach, where a CYMH team-member would meet the child and family at home or in the community rather than having on the family to come to them. Dr. David Smith is an adolescent and adult psychiatrist and the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health. This series of columns on common child and youth mental health issues is a project of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substances Use Collaborative, jointly funded by Doctors of BC and the government of BC. The Collaborative recently received a national award from the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Canadian Psychiatric Association.
LETTER
Owners clarify heli-ski lodge plans Editor, Re: Heli-ski lodge proposed for South Revelstoke area, from the July 22 issue of the Review. While our family appreciates your article about our aspirations to create a small ski lodge in the CSRD we would like to clear up issues you have written. First, we are not aware of any bylaw enforcement complaint related to our property — ever. We initiated an application to the CSRD for the rezoning and OCP amendment in April. We will explain the reasons for our apparent "after the fact" quandary at our public information meeting 7 p.m., August 5 at the community centre. This is not the public hearing as you stated in your ar-
ticle, but rather an informal opportunity for folks to attend and hear us out — ask questions, get answers! You state that we are on the Thomas Brook water system. We have actually drilled our own deep well and have excellent water. That said, we recognize the infrastructure deficiencies in the neighbourhood and we will continue to advocate for – and work with – local authorities and agencies and collaborate further with area residents to expedite provision of the critical improvements to the area’s sewer and especially water so we can all hook up as soon as possible.

Finally while you refer to it as a "heli-ski lodge," heli-skiing would only be an ancillary possibility.

On Saturday, local artists had their works on display in the flourishing vegetable garden. "One of the aims was to make the gallery more visible, and with that, we made this beautiful community garden," said Jackie Pendergast, the director of the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre. The garden was built as a collaboration between the arts centre and the North Columbia Environmental Society's Local Food Initiative, which was recently spun off as it's own non-profit. The new society will be dedicated to food security issues, allowing the NCES to focus on other environmental initiatives. "Food security and food is a really important thing in our community," said Melissa Hemphill. "The LFI is striving to improve our access to local food in our community." The garden tour began at the United Church, where maps were being sold. The first stop was the home of Greg & Kristina Metzlaff, who have transformed their Railway Avenue lot into a 'vegetable wonderland.' Painter Tina Lindegaard was the featured artists. On Moss Street, Karilyn Kempton and Simon Wex opened their 2,000-square-foot garden to the public.

Cyclist Kellen Viznaugh makes Team BC ALEX COOPER
alex.cooper@revelstokereview.com

Stepping Up and Making a Difference
If you've paid attention to the local bike race scene the past few years, there's one name you might have noticed creeping up the standings each year. Kellen Viznaugh has slowly moved his way to the front of the pack in local races, all the while competing and excelling in junior around B.C. and Alberta. Now, the recent Revelstoke Secondary School graduate has been named to Team BC for next weekend's Western Canada Summer Games. Viznaugh is one of five men and five women who will be representing British Columbia at the games in Wood Buffalo, Alta., from August 7–11. "It feels good," he said. "It took a lot of hard work and dedication. Lots of riding." For Viznaugh, the accolade is welcome after not making the provincial team for the national road cycling championships, even after finishing fifth in the road race at the BC Junior Provincial Road Cycling Championships in May. "I haven't been chosen for any provincial teams yet so it's a good way to show Cycling BC that I can actually do something in the sport," he said. Viznaugh got into cycling when his father Wade built him a bike. He entered a few local twoonie races and moved up from there. Locally, he's emerged as the rider to beat in both road and mountain bike races. Viznaugh is a multi-disciplinary cyclist. He competes in road, mountain bike and cyclo-cross races, though his
main focus this summer has been on the road. "They all complement each other," he said. He estimates he puts 500 to 600 kilometres a week on his bike, riding six days on the road and on the dirt. While he competes in all disciplines, his focus is on the road. "Road bike racing is more tactical but mountain biking is just fun," he said. "It's something I can go do and enjoy. It's not just about training, it's about just riding." This year, he signed on with Keith Wilson, a Revelstoke native who now lives in Kamloops. He's married to world champion mountain biker Catharine Pendrel and is considered one of the top cycling coaches in B.C. Viznaugh said having Wilson as a coach has brought him to another level. "Last year I was hanging in there with the kids that were my age but now I'm excelling against them," he said. This weekend, Viznaugh will be competing in the Tour de Bowness, a stage race in Calgary. Afterwards, it's off to the Western Canada Summer Games. Then, he'll shift his focus to cyclo-cross — a discipline that merges elements of mountain biking and road cycling, while throwing in a few obstacles. Next year, he hopes to sign with a professional team and race around Canada and the United States. He said he's been putting his name out there and has been in touch with a few teams. His ultimate goal? "Top step of the podium at the Tour de France," he said.

Survivor Week doesn't slow Aquaducks' success ELIZA MCGUIRE
Revelstoke Aquaducks The Revelstoke Aquaducks travelled to Penticton over the weekend to compete in the last competition before Regionals. Having just completed their Survivor Week, the coach’s expectations of personal bests were lower than usual. The coaches, however, should have known better. While only 24 swimmers attended the meet, almost all of them achieved personal bests, despite the gruelling week leading into the meet. As a result, half of the swimmers finished with aggregates for their division. Autumn Griffith-Doyle and Ryder Litke both finished with silver for Division 1, while Bence Berkenbosch received a bronze to round out the Division 1 Boys. Kayln Gale and Sani Supinen once again finished gold and silver respectively for Division 2 Girls, blowing away the competition in the freestyle events in particular. Devyn Gale won a silver for Division 3 Girls, and brought herself within a second of the club record for the 50 metre backstroke. In Division 4, James LeBuke and Nolan Gale took the top two awards, each breaking a club record in the process. On his way to gold, LeBuke beat Jackson Litke’s 200 metre individual medley record from the last year by three-one-hundredths of a second. Meanwhile, Gale beat his own record from last year in the 50 metre freestyle, despite slipping off the blocks on his start. Brynn Hoshizaki won her first gold of the year in Division 5, achieving the most personal bests of all the seniors with five. Jackson Litke won silver for the Division 5 Boys, and Bryce Molder won gold in the O Category 2 Boys. In her first meet back from her trip to

Overall, the team finished an impressive second place. While the Kelowna Ogopogos
nearly doubled the Revelstoke point tally, the Ogos had more than 100 swimmers in attendance. In two weeks, the Ducks head to Kamloops for the Okanagan regionals, look-
ing to qualify as many as possible for the BC Summer Swim Association Provincial Championships in Victoria from August 21–23.

drupled from 300 in 2013 to 1,271 in 2014. But RCMP Insp. Ed Boettcher said the numbers don't necessarily reflect a spike in actual activity but rather a better baseline estimate following the project by the B.C. Integrated Child Exploitation Unit. "It was certainly eye opening to me," Boettcher said. "It more accurately reflects the the scope of the issue." Officers with the B.C. ICE unit had tracked internet addresses of B.C. computers trading in known illegal material using online networks. It was the first broad sweep of its kind and revealed what Boettcher called a disturbing and tragic level of activity. "These are crimes against children, they're serious and they result in life-long emotional scars," he said. "The internet is forever." The surge in activity uncovered was not matched by a major rise in culprits caught – a total of 107 accused pornographers were charged last year, up Crime, from page 3 people to take responsibility and secure their things, we can improve that number," he added. Of the 122 thefts, only 13 were cleared, and only four resulted in a charge.
VEHICLE THEFTS ABOVE AVERAGE Revelstoke also had a high number of vehicle thefts, with 28 reported in the city last year for a rate of 388.67 per 100,000 people — higher than the provincial rate of 324.36. Another two vehicle thefts took place in the rural area. "It is higher, and I think that is because we are a targeted place for stolen snowmobiles," said Grabinsky. "Usually the truck is getting stolen with it. A truck, trailer and four sleds, is six vehicles that is stolen, so that has an impact on us statistically." Of the 30 vehicle thefts last year, none ended up in a charge. On the positive side, the number of vehicle thefts was down from 37 in 2013 and a recent high of 52 in 2012. Grabinsky said the bait sled program – which hasn't resulted in any arrests in Revelstoke – has had a deterrence effect. "We know the presence was completely different this year because of the knowledge of the bait sled," he said. The success rate of apprehending vehicle
But Boettcher said more are expected as police continue their investigations. He said the probe has led to charges against 18 accused and two have already been convicted. One person was arrested and charged for child pornography in Revelstoke last year. Violators who hide behind a computer screen can expect to lose their anonymity when they're caught, he said. "Our initial investigation provided us a rough location of where these offences were occurring. We are now pursuing these investigations," Boettcher said. "For those that think they can engage in this type of criminal act and hide, you should know that we have the expertise to find you." He also urged residents and business owners to monitor their computers for illegal activity and use strong password protection to secure wireless networks so they can't be used for criminal filesharing.
thieves is not good — out of 198 recorded incidents in the last five years, only six resulted in charges.
RCMP PRIORITIES The Revelstoke RCMP objectives this year are youth crime, traffic safety, property crimes, violence and substance abuse. Grabinsky said the RCMP are active in the schools supporting the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.). He said they have been actively engaged in matters of domestic violence, and patrol at night to respond to any bar fights. "I attribute to our actions as police being very visible, having a good strong presence and being able to intervene so no one gets hurt when they want to go out at night," he said. Violent incidents are usually between people that know each other," Grabinsky added. They will continue to encourage people to be more careful with their own property to reduce thefts. "We continue to be very active in the community. We want to keep the crime rates as low as possible," he said. "We want Revelstoke to a be a safe place that tourists come to and that community members feel comfortable being in, but we ask them to try not to leave things out in the open for the public to grab."

Court reserves judgement in Ecosociety's Jumbo lawsuit STEVE HUBRECHT
Columbia Valley Pioneer The West Kootenay EcoSociety’s petition against the B.C. government’s decision to incorporate Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality was heard in court last week, although a decision will not likely come for weeks. The petition was heard in the B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver on Wednesday, July 15, nearly two and a half years after it was first filed, with lawyers representing both the EcoSociety and the province present in court. Lawyers representing the municipality were not present. “We’re basically saying that the minister (of Community, Sport and Cultural Development) and the Lieutenant Governor in Council exercised discretion (in incorporating the mountain resort municipality) in a way that goes against the express purpose of the Local Government Act and Community Charter and undermines other aspects of those acts. For instance, that there is no public (in Jumbo) for holding public hearings,” said Nelson-based lawyer Judah Harrison, who is representing the EcoSociety. Mr. Harrison added he and the other legal counsel for the EcoSociety argued that creating a municipality without people could be acceptable in some circumstances, but not in the case of Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality. “If people were going to move there next year, it could be allowable. But indefinitely having no population creates a problem,” he said. “In essence, we’re saying the discretion (used by the minister and Lieutenant Governor) was exercised
unreasonably.” The hearing was scheduled to run for three days, but instead wrapped up in a single day, which Mr. Harrison said was due in part to the absence of lawyers representing the mountain resort municipality as well as to the lawyers representing the provincial government making their case in only about an hour. “The government’s response, in essence, was that ‘the statute says we can do this, so we can do it’,” said Mr. Harrison. The Ministry of Justice was contacted to get its version of the province's argument in court. The one sentence reply reads: “In response to the petitioner’s argument, the government’s lawyer, generally, argued that the statutory language was clear in providing authority to incorporate municipalities without residents and that there were no restrictions on timing.” Jumbo mayor Greg Deck later told the Pioneer at the July 21st Jumbo council meeting that the municipality did not have a lawyer present in court for the case, since the case dealt solely with the province’s role in incorporating the municipality, not with the municipality per se. “The hearing was about the legitimacy of the province’s decision to create the municipality. It was the province’s decision and the province’s process,” said Mr. Deck, adding it would be somewhat odd to be at a hearing debating the legitimacy of your own existence. Mr. Harrison also pointed out that the case was heard by a relatively new judge,
Grace Choi, who has been sitting on the bench for just two months. “That’s a huge factor for us,” he said, adding he expects it will mean her ruling in the case may take six weeks to six months, “because it’s one of the more complex cases she’s dealt with.” According to Mr. Harrison, there is little indicating which way the ruling — when it comes — could go. “This case has always been an unsure one. I don’t know where this is going to go. It could go either way. I think we’re right, but I think we’re asking the judge to step on the highest level of govern- The Ecosociety is continuing its court case against the formation of the Jumbo municipality. ~ File photo ment,” he said. Irrespective of where the case goes, Mr. Harrison said he wouldn’t In Memory be surprised if the municipality ceases to of exist soon. “In my opinion, there’s a fairly strong chance that the government will nullify the municipality as a result of the expiration of the environmental certificate,” he said. “It just makes abundant sense that this is dead from a municipal angle.” December 4, 1980 – July 31, 2010 In a press release on the case, the EcoSociety disclosed that environmental and In memory of our cherished public advocacy organization West Coast husband, son & brother, Cody.

ecent ACMA Award Winners for Group of the Year and Rising Star and 2014 Canadian Country Music Associations Group/Duo Of The Year nominees, The Boom Chucka Boys aren’t typical in any way. They walk the fine line between many musical stylings. But make no mistake. They are first, and foremost a country band. Influenced by artists like Dierks Bentley, Zac Brown Band, Dwight Yoakam, CCR, Bruce Springsteen, and Johnny Cash, the band’s original music leaves its mark on audiences with a unique sound. Energetic and meaningful, their lyrics hit like a four on the floor kick drum. Front man Ryan Langlois stomps and moves like a classic performer, throwing himself into the music. His stage presence is no antic, it’s the spill over of incredible, contagious passion, and throttling vocals. The band members match his energy with every chord and create an enormous sound. With Joel Rathjen on lead guitar, Teddy Roy Michaylow on bass, and Ben Shillabeer on the drums you can imagine them playing stadiums, even as you relish seeing them up close in an intimate venue. The band commands the stage, and their look matches their sound. Layered, nuanced and diverse. Performing Saturday, August 1, at 9:30 p.m.

LIFESTYLES
The circus come to town
The Summer Circus Camp came to Revelstoke last week, giving Revelstoke youth a chance to fly on the trapeeze, dance, walk on stilts and clown around. Put on by Green Fools Theatre, almost 50 kids took part. They got to try out everything from tight-rope walking to juggling, to unicycling, to magic and more. At the end, they put on a big show for their friends and family at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre. ~ Photos by Alex Cooper, Revelstoke Review
