Thieves make off with ATM from Trickle Creek Golf Course Door smashed in with stolen bobcat CAROLYN GRANT
Suspects with a plan made an attempt to break into Trickle Creek Golf Course last week, and a day later, were successful breaking into Bootleg Gap, making off with an ATM machine. “They drove a bobcat through the front door at Bootleg Gap, loosened the ATM machine, which was bolted to the floor and took off,” said Kimberley RCMP Cpl. Chris Newel. An undisclosed amount of cash was taken with the ATM. The bobcat was owned by the golf course, but Newel
says that those familiar with this type of machinery would be able to start it. “Often one key will work with several different machines,” he said. “They damaged the cab of the bobcat to get into it, but we couldn’t determine if there was damage to the ignition,” Newel said. Newel says that an attempt was made to cut into a machine at Trickle Creek Golf Course the previous day, but it was unsuccessful. No arrests have been made and the investigation continues.
Woman killed in motorcycle accident east of Cranbrook TOWNSMAN STAFF
A 61-year-old woman from Ontario died in a motorcycle accident Monday afternoon, Sept. 7, on Highway 3/93 near Wardner. Cranbrook RCMP say the accident happened at about 3:25 p.m., when a westbound three-wheel Harley Davidson motorcycle went off the road down a steep embankment. The woman was pronounced deceased on scene. The 63-yearold male driver of the motorcycle was transported to East Kootenay Regional Hospital in stable condition. The accident is being investigated by East Kootenay Traffic Services and the B.C. Coroner’s Service. Police say neither speed nor alcohol are believed to be factors in the accident.
Cherry Lake fire officially contained T R E V O R C R AW L E Y
The Cherry Lake wildfire is all but burned out as crews contained the blaze as of Tuesday. Discovered a few weeks ago, the fire — 30 kilometres south of Cranbrook — quickly flared up to over 1,000 hectares before crews were able to get some containment lines in. The weather has also been helping out, with over 45 millimetres of rain falling within the last seven days. Cherry Lake even received some snow on the ground over the weekend. “We’re just looking at some more cooler weather as well, so it’s going to help a lot,” said Fanny Bernard, a fire information officer with the Southeast Fire Centre.
There are 25 firefighters who are remaining on-scene to deal with mop-up over 1,234 hectares before the fire is relegated to patrol status. Bernard notes that even though most fires in the Southeast Fire Centre are currently either in mopup or on patrol, smoke may be visible. “Even though these fires are contained and in patrol — even the ones that are in mop-up — it’s normal that some of them would be showing smoke and so even if they’re on patrol, it means that there’s someone looking at them on a regular basis to make sure it doesn’t escape containment lines,” she said.

Regulatory changes to Kootenay angling management announced last week will help ensure a quality fishing experience, reduce crowding on popular rivers and support trout conservation
New Kootenay angling plan aims to secure quality fishing for all For the Townsman
CRANBROOK — Regulatory changes to Kootenay angling management announced last week will help ensure a quality fishing experience, reduce crowding on popular rivers and support trout conservation, a press release from the Government of British Columbia said. The Kootenay-Boundary region receives the highest number of non-B.C. resident anglers in the province, and the second highest number of non-resident alien (in-
ternational) anglers. The main regulation change is implementation of a booking system for non-resident anglers on three “classified waters” in the Kootenays: the Wigwam River, Skookumchuck Creek and Michel Creek. All three of these fisheries have seen non-resident, non-guided angler use exceed targets, creating overcrowding on the river as well as pressure on fish populations. Under the new system, a set amount of non-resident, non-guided angler days will be
made available through the existing online angling licensing system. Selections will be made on a first-come, firstserve system, ensuring all non-resident anglers have an equal opportunity. Once these days are sold, non-resident anglers will have to book through a licensed angling guide to fish on these waters. Angler-guided days have been increased on the Wigwam and Skookumchuck in anticipation of additional interest from non-residents seeking access to these waters.

These additional days will become available later in the season. “The Kootenay Angling Management Plan is a major step forward to maintain resident priority angling in the East Kootenay,” said George Wilson, President of the BC Wildlife Federation. “We appreciate the efforts of all those who have contributed to this important initiative.” The previous classified waters system in the Kootenays was first established in 2006. The predominant wild fish species pursued by stream anglers within the East Kootenay are Bull Trout and Westlope Cutthroat Trout. The new system aims to ensure resident anglers maintain priority access on streams that have been over-subscribed in recent years, while still allowing non-residents ample opportunity to access these high-demand systems.
“I want to thank the East Kootenay angling guides for their commitment to the plan and for their hard work in finding ways to improve a good plan that benefits all of us anglers,” said Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and MLA for Kootenay East. Other measures being enacted under the Kootenay Angling Management Plan include enhanced patrols by both conservation officers and river guardians, and reviewing opportunities for additional boat launch facilities to improve angler access on the Elk River. Classified waters for the White River, Upper Kootenay River, St. Mary River and Elk River are otherwise unchanged. On these rivers there are maximum angling days in place for angling guides, but non-residents may continue to fish without caps, after paying for their Classified Water licence.

Tips to start the school year Townsman Staff
This week, students are heading back to school after the summer break. In School District 5, school began on Tuesday, Sept. 8. To help ease into the transition for parents and students, here are some tips. One of the most important things is to make sure students get enough sleep. According to Health Link BC children need plenty of sleep to grow and develop, and children who are in the age range to go to school may have trouble learning and developing socially if they don’t have enough sleep. Parents can help children to sleep by having a comforting bedtime routine and a consistent bedtime. Keeping active is beneficial to health and thus learning. It can be as easy as walking to school if that’s possible. If not students can always bike or roller-skate. Doing some morning exercises, as well as some stretches between classes, can also help you wake up and get your blood flowing to the extremities for the day. Keep healthy by eating healthy and
avoiding going to school hungry. A snack or two between classes will help to keep students’ attention on the class instead of on their rumbling stomach. Staying up to date with vaccines can help to protect your child, as well other students from bacteria and viruses that can cause serious illnesses. Ensure that children with allergies have a proper plan to deal with them and any potential issues that might arise. Health Link BC notes that a food allergy is when the body mistakes a certain food for something that is harmful to the body. The reaction is created by the immune system trying to fight back. A severe allergic reaction can be life-threatening. To help a student deal with these allergies, it’s important that they know how to avoid the allergy causing foods. It’s also important that they tell someone right away if they are allergic so that they can begin the steps to having it treated. For more info head to healthlinkbc. ca.
PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE Public Notice is hereby given that the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the City of Cranbrook proposes to adopt “City of Cranbrook Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3831, 2015”. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Bylaw will add “Storage” as a permitted use to the C-2, Highway Commercial Zone, specific to the referenced properties only. Additional provisions to regulate the storage use are also being proposed. The new regulations include: • the storage use be located completely within an enclosed building or within a covered structure enclosed on a minimum of three sides; • permit screening up to 2.7 metres in height for the open side of the three sided structure; • the storage use be limited to a total gross floor area of 1506 m2; • the storage of automobiles, vehicles, RV’s, boats, trailers, and heavy equipment will be prohibited; • the use shall meet all applicable Provincial Health and Safety regulation and Fire regulations and shall be subject to fire and safety inspection.
Mopping up operations in SE Fire Centre Continued from page 1 On smaller fires, initial attack crews get down on hands and knees to check and make sure everything is cold to the touch, however, in the Cherry Lake case, there is obviously too much territory to cover. “On some of these larger incidents, it’s pretty much impossible to cold-trail the whole thing, so with secure containment lines, 100 per cent containment, it’s in patrol, it could very well be that smoke could be coming from the perimeters of these fires,” she added. Though there has been rain
recently, temperatures are expected to warm up a bit in the middle of the week. While campfires are now permitted across the SEFC, open burning is still prohibited. “No yard waste, no fireworks, no burning barrels, just little campfires that are a half-metre by half-metre in size,” Bernard said. “That’s continually being looked at, and I guess it’s just a matter of making sure it’s safe. It hasn’t rained the same amounts in all the different areas in the fire centre, that’s for sure.” The open burning prohibi-
A GOOD PLACE TO BE.
tions apply to all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but do not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws and is serviced by a fire department. Local governments may have their own burning restrictions in place, so check with local authorities before lighting any fire of any size. Anyone operating motorized vehicles in the backcountry must also exercise caution, since the heat from an exhaust pipe - particularly in tall or dry grass could ignite a wildfire.

Syria: Russia to the Rescue? US
Secretary of State John Kerry has just phoned Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warning him not to “escalate the conflict” by increasing Moscow’s military support for the beleaguered Syrian regime. He stamped his foot quite hard, telling Lavrov that his government’s actions could “lead to greater loss of innocent life, increase refugee flows and risk confrontation with the anti-Isil coalition operating in Syria.” What the Russians have actually done, so far, is to send an advance military team to Damascus of the sort that is normally deployed to prepare for the arrival of a much larger military force. They have also sent an air traffic control centre and housing units for its personnel to a Syrian airbase. It suggests that Moscow is getting ready to go in to save President Bashar al-Assad’s regime. It has given Assad diplomatic support, financial aid and some weapons over the course of the four-year-old Syrian civil war, but it will take more than that to save him now. That would include at least an airlift of heavy weapons, but maybe also direct Russian air support for Assad’s exhausted troops. They need it. Since the fanatical fighters of “Islamic State” (or Isil, as the US State Department calls it) captured Palmyra in central Syria in May, they have advanced steadily westward from their new base. One month ago they captured the mostly Christian town of al-Qaratayn, north-east of Damascus. (The inhabitants fled, of course). And now IS forces are within 30 kilometres of the M5, the key highway that links Damascus with the other parts of Syria that remain under government control. The jihadis captured Palmyra, by the
way, because the “anti-Isil coalition” — the US Air Force, in practice — did not drop a single bomb in its defence. It made at least a thousand air strikes to save Kobani, the Kurdish city on the border with Turkey that was besieged by IS fighters, because the Kurds were US allies. Whereas Palmyra was defended by Assad’s soldiers, so the US let Islamic State have it. One can imagine Kerry’s (and Obama’s) horror at the idea that by defending Palmyra they would be Gwynne seen as protecting Assad’s brutal regime, but if IslamDyer ic State troops manage to cut the M5 it will be seen as a sign of the regime’s impending defeat. At that point, up to half the people who still live in government-controlled areas — around 17 million — may panic and start trying to get out of Syria. They would obviously include the religious minorities (Christians, Alawites, Druze), some 5 million people who have good reason to fear slavery, rape and murder at the hands of Islamic State. The millions of Sunni Muslims who have served the Syrian government and its army would also be at risk. So let’s say 4 or 5 million more refugees pouring out across Syria’s borders, to join the 4 million who have already fled. What they left behind would be a Syria entirely controlled by the extremists. The only remaining question would be whether the jihadis roll on through behind the refugees, overrunning Lebanon and Jordan as well, or whether they fall to fighting among themselves. All three major Islamist groups — Islamic State (which Turkey and Saudi Arabia no longer support), and the al-Nusra Front and Ahrar al-Sham (which they still do) — are virtually identical in their ideology and their ultimate goals. However, they have some tactical differences, and
Islamic State and al-Nusra fought a quite serious turf war last year, so maybe they will get distracted again. But even if they do, Syria will be gone. This is what the Russians see coming, and they may be willing to try to stop it. When asked on Friday if Moscow intended to get involved directly in the Syrian fighting, Russian President Vladimir Putin would only say that the question was “premature”. Nobody, including the Russians, likes Assad’s regime, but it is the least bad remaining option. Indeed, it is the only alternative left to a jihadi victory. Most of the “moderate” anti-regime rebels went home or fled abroad years ago, unable to match the jihadis in firepower, in money or in frightfulness. The notion that the US can now create a moderate “third force” able to defeat both the jihadis and the Assad regime is a shameful face-saving fantasy Moscow used diplomacy to save the Obama administration from itself two years ago, when Washington was getting ready to bomb Assad’s forces in response to a (possibly spurious) allegation that they had used poison gas on civilians. The only way Russia can avert disaster this time, however, is to put its own air force into the fight — and maybe its own ground troops too. If it does, the key question will then be whether the United States lets Russia do the job that it is too fastidious to do itself, or whether it gives in to the clamour of its Turkish and Saudi allies — and they would be clamouring — to “stand up” to the Russian intervention. Since the United States doesn’t actually have a coherent strategy of its own, it’s impossible to predict how it will respond. For all Kerry’s bluster, they don’t know yet in Washington either.

Hurricanes defeat Ice in return to Memorial Arena Quick strikes put Hurricanes ahead early and for good in WHL exhibition opener for young Kootenay Ice
Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor
Tuesday was a night for throwbacks and vintage nostalgia as the Kootenay Ice hosted the Lethbridge Hurricanes at Cranbrook’s Memorial Arena. For the first time since May 12, 2000, the Ice skated in the old barn that welcomed them into the Western Hockey League after relocating from Edmonton following the 1997-98 season. The stands were bustling as 683 fans squeezed, albeit comfortably, into the relatively smaller confines of the Memorial Arena. Chants of “go Ice go!” could be heard throughout the rafters at moments. The Ice even busted out throwback threads, donning classic white sweaters featuring the black sash and “Kootenay” wordmark from the franchise’s early years. It truly was a party like the year 2000, with one critical exception -the Lethbridge Hurricanes skated away with a 6-1 victory Tuesday. “I thought they were hungrier than we were,” said Luke Pierce, head coach of the Kootenay Ice. “I thought they beat us in a lot of one-on-one battles. They were a lot cleaner through the neutral zone. We turned over way too many pucks. “For a lot of guys and their first taste of action, I don’t think they really appreciated how fast things were going to happen.” Things definitely happened fast Tuesday night as the Hurricanes got all the offense they needed early in the first period, jumping out to a 2-0 lead before the game was 10 minutes old.
Barrett Sheen opened the scoring 5:16 into the festivities, knocking a rebound past Ice goaltender Keelan Williams. Only 2:32 wound down on the clock before Brandon Kennedy doubled the lead for the visitors with another doorstep tally as the two teams skated four-onfour with Ice defenceman Tanner Faith and Hurricanes forward Ryley Lindgren serving roughing minors.
Any party-like atmosphere in the building was quickly sucked out after the quick strikes from the Hurricanes. With a 20-year-old battle raging in training camp, Jon Martin did all he could to have an impact and restore life into the old rafters at the Memorial Arena, pulling the hosts within one goal only 29 seconds later. The veteran of four WHL seasons, all with the Ice, drove hard down the right wing before taking a pass from linemate Luke Philp and snapping a shot past Hurricanes goaltender Jayden Sittler. “There’s seven of us 20-year-olds, so it’s going to be a battle,” Martin said Tuesday night. “Every game, every practice is like a tryout. I’ve just got to play hard and whatnot. “I just do what I do best -- playing the body, getting pucks deep and being a leader when I can.”
Unfortunately for Martin and the Ice, the one goal was all they were able to manage. Lindgren restored the Hurricanes’ twogoal lead with a low snap shot that snuck under the glove of Williams to make it a 3-1 game as time ticked down in the first period. Brett Davis added to the Lethbridge advantage midway through the second period as the Hurricanes carried the play, taking a 4-1 margin into the dressing room along with a 37-22 advantage in shots. The third period saw Ben Duperreault score a dazzling goal with a backhand shot in tight that managed to sneak high short side over the shoulder of Williams to make it a 5-1 Hurricanes lead before Brady Reagan rounded out the scoring with a power-play tally late in the final period. When the final buzzer sounded, the Hurricanes had outshot the Ice 50-31. While the bulging shot count from the visitors was a factor, the penalty count at the end of the night was nearly as high. The two teams combined for 60 minutes in penalties, with the Hurricanes seeing seven man advantages, striking once courtesy the late Reagan goal. On the other side of the puck, the Ice were handed six power-play opportunities and unable to capitalize. Williams made 44 stops on 50 shots in taking the exhibition loss. At the other end of the rink, Sittler started the game between the pipes for the Hurricanes, turning aside 20 of the 21

Brandon Kegler, 17, carried on midway through the second period and went unblemished as he made 10 saves to preserve the victory for Lethbridge. The Ice dressed a relatively young lineup, with 15-year-olds Eli Lieffers and Loeden Schaufler making their WHL debuts. In addition, Pierce dressed a trio of 16-yearolds and six 17-yearolds. “There’s a lot for us to learn from that [game],” Pierce said. “First and foremost is just how fast the pace is. It’s a smaller rink, so it’s that much quicker, but it’s good to go and play this [game]. Now, we’ll set that as our bar and work. “I think a lot of our young guys didn’t realize how strong some of
Blue Jays defeat Red Sox to increase division lead Associated Press
BOSTON - Troy Tulowitzki singled in the go-ahead run off Alexi Ogando to trigger a four-run 10th inning that lifted AL East-leading Toronto to a 5-1 victory over Boston. With the win, Toron-
to increased its lead in the East to 1 1-2 games over the New York Yankees, who lost 2-1 to Baltimore. The Blue Jays won for the 13th time in 17 games. Travis Shaw homered for Boston, which had its four-game winning streak stopped.
Josh Donaldson led off the 10th with a triple against Ogando (2-1), a towering fly ball that appeared to hit the top corner of the Green Monster and bounced back. After a review upheld the call of the ball not crossing the red line at the top for a homer, the
crew reviewed and confirmed Donaldson was safe at third. Tulowitzki singled past third baseman Pablo Sandoval. Chris Colabello followed with an RBI single, Ogando balked in the next run and Kevin Pillar had a sacrifice fly.
these guys would be and they took it for granted. They’ve got a lot of work to do getting stronger and being a little smarter with the puck. There’s always somewhere you’ve got to start and we’re okay with where we’re at.” On the other side of the puck, Hurricanes head coach Brent Kisio went with a lineup that featured three 16-yearolds and four 17-yearolds. Next up, the Ice head south of the border for a three-game tournament hosted by the Tri-City Americans in Kennewick, Wash. The action begins
Thursday at 8 p.m. (Mountain) as the host Americans welcome the Ice to Kennewick. “We have to increase our systems a little bit,” Pierce said looking forward to Thursday. “We went with a very basic approach [Tuesday] and I think Lethbridge was just a lot further ahead than us. “There was some fundamentals that we were just too far back on, so we’ll work on that [Wednesday] and some of the small keys of cutting down on turnovers and simplifying the game as you go into three busy days. It’s a lot to work on in a short
period of time.” Notes: With 35 players remaining in camp, the Ice scratched a number of notable names Tuesday night, including but not limited to: G Wyatt Hoflin, D Bryan Allbee, D Cale Fleury, D Mario Grman, D Tanner Lishchynsky, D Troy Murray, D Dylan Overdyk, F Matt Alfaro, F Vince Loschiavo, F Zak Zborosky… The Hurricanes scratches included: G Stuart Skinner, D Scott Allan, D Andrew Nielsen, D Nick Watson, F Giorgio Estephan, F Carter Folk, F Justin Gutierrez, F Tyler Wong...

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your need to take action in conflicts is likely to emerge. As a result, interactions with others could become unstable and touchy. Your follow-through with these matters will attract a supervisor’s or older friend’s attention. Tonight: Listen to a loved one’s news. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Fussing over a domestic issue will only frustrate you. Calm down, and keep your eye on the long term. You could be in a position where you are tired and worn out. Don’t push someone as hard as you have. Act from a more detached perspective. Tonight: Where the gang is. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be at a point where you might say something and live to regret it. Being a little less forceful would serve you well, unless you want to shut others out. Remember that very few have your vigor or are as romantic as you are. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to rethink a question that is likely to affect your spending. You have longterm goals and certain desires involving travel and education, and you still might not be able to hold yourself back from overindulging. Tonight: Count your change. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Tap into your energy, and help someone else bypass a limitation that seems to affect nearly every aspect of his or her life. Your caring gesture, interest and support helps this person far more than you can imagine. Deal with others gently at the moment. Tonight: As it is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be in a position where you feel as if someone is taking advantage of you, and you might wonder why. Your discomfort comes from not facing an internal issue and growing past it. It is easy to blame these feelings on someone else. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Gentleness takes you a lot fur-
Tundra
ther in discussions than any other way of dealing with a friend right now. A different type of approach could backfire. Walk in this person’s shoes and gain a better perspective of his or her life. Tonight: Get together with loved ones. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You often have a way of saying things that makes others feel uncomfortable or confused. Try to relate in the same language in which each person thinks and speaks. Your imagination will have a ball identifying with others. Tonight: Could go till the wee hours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Even if you want to get into an intense discussion or argument right now, you would be well-advised not to. A new insight or two allows you to understand why others are reacting the way they are. Lighten up about what is happening. Tonight: Where there is great music. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You often have discussions that take you into a new realm of thought, especially with a close
loved one. Stay centered, even if you’re dealing with some new concepts. Don’t rely on what has worked in the past. Be willing to step into new territory. Tonight: Accept an invitation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be in a situation where you no longer can tolerate everything that is happening. As a result, you might become somewhat snappy with several associates. You probably will need to walk away for a while. Tonight: Decide what you want to do, but listen to suggestions first. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be asked to handle a matter for a close friend or associate. This person knows how to get you to say “yes” and pitch in. On the other hand, you have your hands full with your own responsibilities. Make it OK to say “no” more often. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: I see many parents teach their children, from a young age, to kiss on the lips. Do you feel this is correct? For some reason, I am uncomfortable with this. I was raised in a family where you always kissed on the cheek, whether it was your brother, sister or parents. I would be interested in what your readers have to say. -- Maine Dear Maine: This is not an issue of “correct.” It is about family custom. As long as there is nothing salacious about the kissing, it is perfectly OK to kiss family members on the lips if this is how you have been raised. Those who were brought up to kiss on the cheeks would naturally find it awkward, and you certainly don’t have to do it. Dear Annie: Our oldest son married the most wonderful woman. “Kate” has two children from a previous marriage, ages 8 and 3, both of whom we love dearly. Our son has three children from his previous marriage and Kate loves them like her own. The problem is Kate’s ex-husband and his parents. This is an open letter to them: We love the children just as you do. As a grandmother, I would want only the most loving and nurturing relationships for all of my grandchildren. When you spread nasty rumors and sick lies and plant poison in people’s minds, you are not only hurting us. You are hurting your grandchildren. You make the children feel that they need to choose between us. You make them feel conflicted and they shut themselves off. And let me tell you what your slanderous words about my son do: You have managed to destroy with your poison any potentially healthy and loving relationship he can have with these kids. When you tell your little circle of friends that you are “concerned he might molest the grandchildren,” what exactly are you trying to accomplish besides satisfying your selfish, insecure feelings? He is terrified to be left alone with them, knowing what your false accusations can lead to. I hope you will see this letter and recognize that it is meant for you, and that you will fix the wrong you are doing. Please let the children love us. My son’s children are being partly raised by another man and I thank him for loving and treating them like his own. I wish you and your family could think the same way. We cannot change the past, but we can move forward in a positive fashion. I hope you will do this for the children. -- Grandma from Guam Dear Grandma: How sad for those children that their father and his parents are so filled with jealousy and resentment that they use the grandchildren as weapons and are willing to damage them emotionally. We hope Kate is keeping a written record of these accusations and rumors. If necessary, she should take her ex to court. This could affect his visitation rights and those of his parents.

Kootenay-Columbia Candidates On The Spot
Black Press newspapers across Kootenay-Columbia have compiled a list of questions — 14 in total — for all five candidates for a seven-week Q&A feature. All five candidates were invited to participate by responding to two questions each week. Question 1: What do you consider to be the biggest issue, or need, in this riding? Question 2: Does your party plan to introduce some form of proportional representation? If so, when and how?
Bill Green Green
What do you consider to be the biggest issue, or need, in this riding? The most important issue in Kootenay-Columbia is creating a thriving economy in a healthy environment. We need more local jobs that provide family-supporting incomes, especially for young people. Fostering small business and renewable energy, strengthening our agriculture sector, supporting sustainable forestry, responsible mining and tourism are essential for our longterm prosperity. Investment in clean technology has been called the greatest business opportunity of this century. The Green Party will establish a Green Venture Capital Fund to aid small business start-ups and will reduce the corporate tax rate on small business. Green Party policy supports community economic development with taxation and incentive programs aimed at municipal infrastructure renewal, energy-efficient home construction and renovation, and clean energy. Many of the building blocks are already in place here. Given the opportunity, the people of Kootenay-Columbia have the ingenuity, initiative, smarts and skills to build a resilient, diversified low-carbon economy. Does your party plan to introduce some form of proportional representation? If so, when and how? Proportional representation is a Green Party priority. Green MPs will begin work immediately to legislate the end of first-past-thepost voting by establish-
ing an all-party Democratic Voting Commission that will: (1) review past research, (2) conduct a public consultation on the style of proportional representation best suited to Canada, and (3) make recommendations to Parliament, including draft legislation, within 12 months. Electoral reform is of critical importance if we want to reinvigorate our democracy. A Green government will further strengthen our democracy by reducing the power of the Prime Minister’s Office, and will never force its MPs to vote on party lines.
Don JOhnston Liberal
What do you consider to be the biggest issue, or need, in this riding? The biggest issue or need in this riding is the need for strong representation in Ottawa and the need to begin working together as a region on the issues that affect rural regions. Close to 80% of Canadians live in urban communities and rural issues are not highly visible on the national agenda. We need to have an MP who understand those issues and who can work across sectors and regions within the riding to begin to raise the profile of those issues and to build a new approach to working together. We need to remember that the primary responsibility of a Member of Parliament is to represent the riding in Ottawa. We need an MP who understands that, who has the skills and experience to do that effectively and who will be accountable to voters in the riding. I will hold annual accountability meetings in every community in
the riding. Does your party plan to introduce some form of proportional representation? If so, when and how? As part of a national engagement process, we will ensure that electoral reform measures – such as ranked ballots, proportional representation, mandatory voting, and online voting – are fully and fairly considered by a special all-party parliamentary committee. Within 18 months of forming government we will bring forward legislation to enact electoral reform. Our plan for a fair and open government moves far beyond electoral reform to include democratic parliamentary committees, free votes, strengthening Elections Canada, an independent Senate, and voter training for high school students. It is a sweeping agenda for real change that better reflects the values of Canadians. Unfortunately this government’s lack of respect for parliament is matched by a lack of respect for MPs. Millions of Canadians thought they elected people to be their communities’ voice in Ottawa then watched those same people become Stephen Harper’s voice in their communities. That is something I can change right here.
Wayne Stetski NDP
What do you consider to be the biggest issue, or need, in this riding? From a democratic standpoint, the biggest issue in Kootenay Columbia is electing a Member of Parliament who will be a strong voice for the people of this area, who will deal
with your issues in a respectful and timely way, and to have a government that shares your values. I have spent my entire working life in public service. I understand your values, your daily challenges, and how government choices can have a significant impact on your lives. My priorities are to help create jobs and to support families with a $15 a day per child childcare program. I am committed to ensuring that universal health care continues, improving income for seniors, and treating our veterans with respect. In order to accomplish this we need to elect a new government; a government committed to putting you first. In this riding, the NDP is the only choice to stop Stephen Harper and his reckless agenda for Canada. Does your party plan to introduce some form of proportional representation? If so, when and how? An NDP government will bring in proportional representation. I am committed to making this election the last election to use the firstpast-the-post voting system. No longer will a party with only 38% of the vote be able to form a majority, and, as a result, act with no regard for the 62% who did not vote for them. Bringing in proportional representation will result in a more diverse and representative parliament. And it will ensure that every vote counts. In this election, voters are having to consider voting strategically to ensure that Stephen Harper does not form another majority. This is why I’m asking voters in Kootenay Columbia to vote together for the NDP to stop Stephen Harper. My promise to traditional Green and Liberal voters in this area is that once the NDP brings in proportional representation you will never have to vote strategically again.
David Wilks Conservative
What do you consider to be the biggest issue, or need, in this riding? The main priorities for me in Kootenay-Columbia will continue to be infrastructure for both municipal and regional government and improvements to the Trans-Canada Highway. The Build Canada Fund, a $53-billion dollar investment over 10 years, will provide communities with the ability to work on infrastructure priorities. This year funding was approved for Nakusp, Revelstoke, Golden, Fernie, RDEK Area “A” and Creston. I will continue to ensure that funding for the Trans-Canada Highway is constant and consistent, building on the nearly 300 million dollars of improvements since 2011. This includes projects at Clan Williams, Donald Bridge twinning and improvements throughout the National Parks. Does your party plan to introduce some
form of proportional representation? If so, when and how? Through referendum, citizens in the Provinces of Ontario, British Columbia and Prince Edward Island have rejected proportional representation and have voted to keep the “first past the post” system. The Conservative Party supports the current system of “first past the post.”
Christina Yahn Libertarian
What do you consider to be the biggest issue, or need, in this riding? I believe that an MP’s primary role is to listen to the consituents in their riding and bring those issues to Parliment. I want to hear from the people living and dealing with the issues and needs that directly effect them. It is my belief that if elected It would be my duty to act as an extension of the peoples’voice. My personal primary issue is food security. In 2014 a feasibility study revealed that the West Kootenay alone were listed as importing 95% of their food and spend-
ing $224 million annually on consumption. Would not our local economy benefit if a larger portion of that money supported ourlocal food producers? Of that 95% a good majority is imported from California, with droughts, fires and honey bee declines effecting pollination of major crops that leaves our area vulnerable in terms of food security. We can avoid food shortages and price inflations through localizing food and buying local initiatives. Does your party plan to introduce some form of proportional representation? If so, when and how? The Libertarian party leader Tim Moen endorces Proportional Representation being implemented in the Canadian electoral system, he encourages candidates to educate themselves on the variety of PR options available and align ourselves with voting on the system that best supports our individual views. We would create a special joint standing committe equally formed of MPs and Senators to examine reform options for the house of commons elections and senate appointments. The Libertarian party would introduce and vote on a form of PR before the next elections were to be held. I personally believe fair election reform needs to be introduced as soon as possible to properly restore democracy in Canada.
