Creston landfill earns Crystal Moose Award

$1.00 (plus HST)

Visitor cleans up trash by Goat River

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Scott Murray grew up in Canyon but he hasn’t spent more than a day or two at time here since he left 15 years ago.

What he found while visiting in the last week has left him shaking his head.

And busy cleaning up the mess he found on a dirt bike ride around his old haunting grounds.

“Does Canyon have a dump now?” he asked, rhetorically. “It didn’t used to have one, but it looks like things have changed.”

In Creston to visit family, Murray, an avid outdoorsman who now resides in Fort St. John, is appalled at the garbage being dumped close to Canyon Bridge.

It’s a scenic area that provides an inviting view for people who like to walk where they can see the rushing Goat River in the canyon below. It has also become a dumping ground for trash and animal carcasses.

Murray was so disgusted with what he found he devoted about 10 hours on Sunday to cleaning up some of the mess.

“In about a half-kilometre beside the bridge, I filled 90 bags of garbage,” he said on Monday. “And that’s not even a start.”

TODAY'S WEATHER

Several years of investment in upgrades to the Creston landfill have landed the site a Crystal Moose Award for the most improved landfill in B.C. The award is given annually by the consulting firm of Sperling Hansen Associates, the province’s landfill specialists.

“The changes that have been made have been phenomenal,” Regional District of Central Kootenay Area B director John Kettle said on Tuesday. “Kudos to our staff for implementing the changes.”

Financial Three Voices helps change lives toll comes from violence

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

With more than six out of 10 Canadians saying they personally know at least one woman who has experienced physical or sexual abuse, it is clear that violence is huge problem in the country.

Now, a Canadian Public Policy study reveals that there are large financial costs that can be attributed to violence against women.

The study might have a wordy title — Attributing Selected Costs to Intimate Partner Violence in a Sample of Women Who Have Left Abusive Partners: A Social Determinants of Health Approach — but the message is succinct: “The overall annual per woman cost attributable to violence of $13,162.39 represents a conservative estimate of the partial costs of intimate partner violence for women who have left abusive partners.”

On the heels of Prevention of Violence Against Women Week (April 15-21), Kootenai Community Centre Society executive director Dina Bambrick said there is local help available for women and children who are in, or who leave, abusive or violent relationships.

“We offer counselling and support services, in addition to a safe house and transitional accommodation for women and their children,” she said. “No one should feel that they have no options but to stay in a bad situation.”

Statistics for Canada provide ample evidence that the problem is enormous. More than half of women in Canada will experience some form of abuse from a partner after the age of 16 years. Perhaps even more shocking is the fact that one in five women was pregnant when the violence occurred. Every year, up to 360,000 children are exposed to domestic violence. Half of the women murdered in Canada are killed by a current or former partner.

While education and public awareness efforts are key to reducing violence in relationships, so is the revelation that real costs can be attributed to the issue.

“We calculated public sector health costs for which we could identify appropriate comparisons at an annual per woman cost of $4,969.79 in excess of what would be expected in the general population,” said the study. “Measuring costs demonstrates the extensive use of resources resulting from violence against women, reduces its social acceptability, and promotes social policy designed to decrease its prevalence.”

Intimate partner violence is a complicated issue, but the CPC study makes it clear it results in costs that are borne by Canadian taxpayers. It is in everyone’s best interest to work toward prevention of violence.

For 35 years, a wellness centre in Lister has been helping change the lives of drug and alcohol abusers. Now located on 22 acres on Riverview Road, the Three Voices of Healing Society now offers six six-week in-patient treatment programs and one three-week in-patient program for people who suffer from residential school trauma.

“It’s been a phenomenal year for us,” said Delena Tikk, the centre’s executive director. “We received our third national accreditation, this time with commendation, we have become the head office of the Association of BC First Nations Treatment Programs and we are about to construct a new building that will allow us to offer an after-care program for people who have completed the treatment program but who aren’t yet capable of re-integrating with their community.”

The treatment centre was originally run as a recovery home under the Kootenay Indian Area Council from 1977 into the 1990s. The name was then changed to the Ktunaxa/Kinbasket Wellness Centre, under the direction of a management team. In 1992, the wellness centre became a treatment centre under the direction of the Ktunaxa/ Kinbasket Tribal Council.

In 1997, the wellness centre was transferred to an independent society, known as the Ktunaxa/Kinbasket Health and Wellness Society with an elected board of directors representing the bands of Lower Kootenay, Shuswap, Columbia Lake, St. Mary’s and Tobacco Plains.

“In April 2008, a special membership meeting was held for the society,” Tikk said. “It was decided at this meeting to change the name of the Society to Three Voices of Healing Society. The name was derived from the three mountain ranges that surround this valley that the centre is located in.”

Membership in the society is open to all aboriginals and non-aboriginals but the board must include a majority of aboriginal directors. The membership fee is $5 annually.

Saluting volunteers April 15-21 was Volunteer Canada’s National Volunteer Week, and the Advance took it a step further. Each issue in April had a feature on a different nonprofit organization, starting with the Handy Capable Housing Society on April 5, and continuing with the Therapeutic Riding Program on April 12 and the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors on April 19.

Dallas Magrum and Art Tikk look over plans for an expansion to Lister’s Three Voices of Healing wellness centre.

The treatment programs, which are single gender and alternate between male and female, provide a unique mix of cultural approaches.

“We are proud of our programming, which has been referred as ‘western opening with traditional cleansing,’ ” she said. “That means we have a psychologist that works with our clients during week 3, opening them up, helping to find the core issues. Then, during week 4, we have our elders hold ‘healing week’, which is the traditional cleansing of past traumas. For our clients, participating in a healing program is an essential step in their recovery.

Without the intensity and safety of a healing centre, they would still be lost in their suffering and, as a result, would continue to harm themselves and those close to them.”

Participants in the six-week programs live at the healing centre but participate in some activities in Creston, such as fitness programs. Tikk said the centre’s rural setting is a great advantage, providing a calm and quiet retreat that is isolated from the temptations offered in urban areas. Program participants are aboriginal and non-aboriginal and come from all around British Columbia, and even Alberta and Idaho. Funding for the programs comes from Health Canada.

She readily points out that addiction is a sickness for which there is no complete cure.

“It’s a disease, like HIV,” she said. “It can progress and kill you, or you can maintain your health with the proper tools. But you will always have the addiction. We give people the tools necessary to maintain their health.”

Three Voices of Healing requires program entrants to have two weeks of sobriety and be able to demonstrate they have a support system behind them.

“We don’t accept court-ordered participants because people need to be here for themselves,” she said.

The program is in such demand that the waiting list can be as long as six months.

Staffing is an ongoing challenge, said Tikk.

“It is hard to find qualified, certified counselors and next year 100 per cent of our counseling staff has to be certified,” she said. “All treatment centres struggle with wage issues — we get resumés from South Africa, England, Eastern Canada, but very few from B.C.” Traditional parts of the program rely heavily on the participation of elders, who come in weekly to teach crafts and beadwork, and ceremonies including sweats, brushing and burning. Some travel from as far as St. Mary’s.

Tikk said the new aftercare program will include partnerships with Kootenay Employment Services (KES) and the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology in Merritt, which offers training programs designed to help participants find employment back in their home communities. KES will work with participants to help match their training with what jobs are available in their community and in skills like resume building. The program will be able to accommodate 12 inpatients and more on an outpatient basis, for as long as two years.

Plans for that program also include taking advantage of the horticulture opportunities offered on the acreage.

“We want to teach the patients to grow and harvest their own food,” Tikk said. “It’s a healthy activity and teaches responsibility, helping them to return to their communities as contributing individuals.”

She expects the new building to be ready for opening this summer.

With a staff of 12 and the help of elder volunteers, Three Voices of Healing offers a unique program in the province, one designed to help drug and alcohol abusers become healthy, contributing members of their community.

Its mission statement says it all: “The primary mission of the Three Voices of Healing Society treatment program is to promote and strengthen First Nations people and other aboriginals to live holistic lives.”

‘Fiscal climate’ won’t allow ferry schedule change

Nearly 300 East Shore residents who have signed a petition encouraging the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to restore the former sailing times of the Kootenay Lake ferries aren’t likely to have

their request granted.

As reported in the April 5 Advance, East Shore residents have suggested not only returning the MV Osprey 2000 and MV Balfour to the original schedule, as the petition states, but also changing the schedule so the ferries run on the hour.

“The ministry is always willing to consider requests for service changes to meet the needs of residents who rely on inland ferry service,” a ministry spokesperson told the Advance.

“However, extending the operating hours would increase labour and other operating costs, and the current fiscal cli-

“We feel Ronald McDonald House is an excellent organization to support as many families from Creston are sent to the Calgary Children’s Hospital and stay at the House. The Thunder Cats will be

donating one third of the net tournament proceeds to Ronald McDonald House Southern Alberta.”

Smeby said that early sign-ups for the tournament have been strong, so golfers should register as soon as possible. The cost to register is $65 for Creston Golf Club members and $75 for nonmembers. Individual men or women or groups of four can enter.

“This is a terrific event,” Smeby said. “We have lots of prizes and there will be a prime rib dinner afterward. Also, many items will be offered for sale at an auction, with all the funds going to the hockey team and Ronald McDonald House.”

There is no charge for the concert and dance and people of all ages are welcome.

Citing health, economic viability, social development, work opportunities and shopping in West Kootenay towns, the petition was created by East Shore resident Nicole Plouffe in mid-March, with the goal of reaching 500 signatures.

“As a small community we rely on the proximity of larger towns and cities to sustain our quality of life,” says the petition. “We are dependent on these communities for many aspects of our lives and reduced ferry sailings have impeded our way of life.”

The Kootenay Lake ferries used

to start the day with a 6:05 commuter run from Kootenay Bay to Balfour. The day would end with a 12:20 a.m. sailing from Balfour to Kootenay Bay, followed by a 1:10 a.m. return sailing. About 10 years ago, the schedule was cut back, with final sailings becoming 9:40 p.m. from Balfour and 10:20 p.m. from Kootenay Bay. “In 2002/2003, the ministry worked with local residents to develop a schedule that was approved by the majority of east shore communities,” said the ministry spokesperson.

To view the petition, visit www. change.org and search for “Kootenay Lake”.

Nominations open for Creston citizen of the year

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Each year a local resident who has made great contributions to the community is honoured at the annual Creston Valley Blossom Festival.

The Creston Valley Rotary Club, which coordinates the selection of Creston’s citizen of the year, is once again inviting nominations for worthy candidates.

“This is a pretty big deal,” Rotarian John Huscroft said on Tuesday. “It’s an honour to be chosen from thousands of your friends and neighbours.”

Nominees’ activities can include volunteer work or significant contributions to business, government, social improvement, community service, cultural arts, religion, youth work or any other endeavour that helps make the Creston Valley a better community.

An anonymous group of committee members considers nominations that must include details

Like the Advance on Facebook at facebook.com/cvadvance

of accomplishments, involvement and contributions to the community. The nomination package can include testimonials from other residents.

“We recommend creating a submission that assumes the committee members know nothing about a candidate,” Huscroft said. “Include information that creates a compelling reason for your nominee to be considered.”

Nomination forms are available at the Creston Valley Advance, Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce or Creston Town Hall. Submissions should be placed in a sealed envelope marked “Citizen of the Year – Confidential” and dropped off at the above locations or mailed to Creston Valley Advance, P.O. Box 1279, Creston, BC, V0B 1G0. Deadline for nominations, which must be signed by the submitter, is May 4 at noon.

Announcement of the 2012 citizen of the year will be made during the opening ceremonies for the Blossom Festival on May 18. The citizen (or citizens) of the year are then invited to ride in the May 19 parade.

Thanks to the Ingham family for supporting the arts

There have been enough events held at the former garage on Canyon Street and 15th Avenue in recent years to know that it is a pretty cool location for an art show. But Sunday night’s Arts and Culture Week opening festivities seemed to have an entirely different air.

The difference, no doubt, is that the building is soon to become the Ingham Arts and Culture Centre. To most of us, the recent revelation that the building was to be made available for such a use came as a complete surprise. It was fair to assume, I think, that when owner Al Ingham died the property would be sold to the highest bidder as his estate was disbursed.

Al Ingham was a well-known successful businessman long before I arrived in Creston. He had a keen intellect and was passionate in his love for the Creston Valley. Many years ago I wrote a column that he took exception to.

But instead of writing a letter to the editor or just badmouthing me around town, he took the very gentlemanly tack of inviting me to his home to discuss the issue. We didn’t part in agreement, but I will always remember the civility with which he made his case and the hospitality he and his wife, Lil, showed me on that day.

When Ingham allowed the first

referred to it as since that first art show, is a very nice concept, and a lasting tribute to a man who cared so deeply about his home community. Whatever form it takes, the Ingham Arts and Culture Centre will fill an obvious void in the Creston Valley.

This community has, in the last decade, exploded as a haven for some extraordinarily creative and accomplished people and we have been without a permanent public space to Lorne Eckersley show their work. The inclusion of a CIDO radio broadcasting centre is a nice marriage, cussed trying to purchase it for too. The location’s visibility will that use.

Taxes should not increase

To the Editor: Regarding increased taxes to pay for policing, enough is enough — no more increases for anything! Town council and the Regional District of Central Kootenay have got to be accountable for these costs.

If the town had a million dollars set aside years ago, then we could have had our own police force of four or five constables today at half the cost of the RCMP. Another tax increase is out of the question. This time, the mayor and town council have to be held accountable.

Harper an ‘egomaniac’

To the Editor: (Re: “PM a ‘true blessing’ ”, April 12 Advance, page 7) Yes, Mr. Slimm, Stephen Harper apologized for the wrongheadedness of government policies with regard to our First Nations people. This is an apology any prime minister could and should have done. Just like Mr. Harper’s support of our people in the Canadian military, has any prime minister not supported our people in the military, who protect us all? Or has any prime minister not tried to increase trade with other nations? While most heads of state around the world support Israel’s positions in the volatile Middle East, to praise Mr. Harper for doing so is somewhat shallow, and as for Preston Manning, you are right in calling him a leader who never was.

The truth is that Mr. Harper is a cold, cunning and calculating egomaniac who had the audacity to appoint to cabinet a person who was not democratically elected to any position whatsoever, Michael Fortier, in 2006. This man was then immediately appointed to the Senate while he was public works minister, holding not one but two paying jobs under the watchful eye of Mr. Harper. It causes one to ask oneself exactly what information Mr. Fortier has on Mr. Harper to warrant appointments

opiNioN LiNe

to two jobs and two salaries.

In more recent days, Mr. Harper has directed all federal government employees to refer to the government as “Stephen Harper’s government”.

Failure to do so will result in reprimands, suspensions or dismissal. Mr. Harper was elected to be prime minister not emperor.

History will show that Stephen Harper is the only prime minister in the history of the country to have been found guilty of contempt of Parliament by lying to Parliament. Furthermore, Mr. Harper is the only prime minister who has secured a contract worth billions of taxpayer dollars for fighter jets without benefit of discussion, debate or putting the matter to tender for all contractors to bid upon. Like I said, an egomaniac, who will be despised as Brian Mulroney is.

Yes, Mr. Slimm, in Canada you are entitled to your opinions, no matter how wrongheaded, misguided, misdirected or naïve your opinions may be.

The blessing will come on the day that Mr. Harper is fired from the job that he temporarily holds, a day on which all Canadians will be better off as a result.

Pet owners must pick up To the Editor: Spring has sprung and everyone is spending time outdoors checking plants and lawn for signs of growth.

The grass is green, the trees are budding, the bulbs are flowering — it’s all lovely! But I am outside with my shovel, picking up other people’s pet droppings.

I choose to not own a pet because I do not want to do all the things associated with responsible pet ownership.

Some people have designated areas in their yards for their pets’ needs. Others walk their pets and carry a bag for cleanup.

And then there are those who walk their animals and allow them to use the neighbour’s lawn and don’t clean up. And others open the door and let the dog choose wherever he wants and then call him back in once he’s done.

Please clean up after your pets. It keeps everyone happier, the yards

remain a safe and clean place for children to run and play, and my shovel stays cleaner!

Mess left at Lister Park To the Editor: On my recent visit to Lister Park, I was disgusted by the amount of trash left behind by the Easter egg hunt that took place the weekend before.

Everything from plastic bags that contained the treats to candy wrappers and cups were scattered all along the perimeter of this beautiful area, which happens to be adjacent to a pasture for organic dairy cows. Obviously, the wind had a part in the job of distributing the garbage into the nearby fields as I glanced over the fence dividing the two areas, and I wondered how much more had travelled out of sight into other farmland.

Shame on the parents for letting this happen and shame on the organizers of this event for not taking the responsibility for cleaning up afterwards!

Children do not necessarily have the mindset to comprehend the ramifications of littering but perhaps this would be a suitable event to teach them the proper behavior when it comes to cleaning up after oneself.

My wife and I often visit Lister Park and always take the initiative to pick up the trash that is scattered throughout the area and can’t fail to notice the trashcan at the ball diamond has not been emptied for almost a year. We are forced to haul the garbage we collect to our own home and separate the recycling and put the rest in our weekly contribution to the landfill.

Can the visitors to this park not see the beauty of it being tainted by all this needless garbage? It is one of the gems of Creston and I hate to see it fall to this level of decay. One of the reasons we moved to Creston was because of its cleanliness and this is truly a disappointment. I would like to take this opportunity to give a call out to all the families that took part in the Easter egg hunt to go back and do something about the footprint they left on our wonderful Lister Park.

Plants growing at Erickon nursery

Good things have been happening at the nursery now that the sun has come out of hiding. The plants are actually starting to grow. Flowers are providing the local bees with some nourishment.

I was moving a few of my Apple tree collection around this weekend, trying to keep the tree row in alphabetical order — you know, A for Ambrosia, C for Cox Orange — when I started thinking about a short marketing class I had taken at college 20 years ago. I’m not sure just what triggered this memory but I suspect that it had to do with the relative size of the trees I was moving, and how much bigger all of the Canadian grown trees were. No, this is not just the rootstock being used. I try to collect one of every variety of apple tree I come across for fun.

As I was saying, we had a business

professor who was trying to get us horticulture kids to market peanut butter, selling so many cases at such-and-such a price. It was all hypothetical and not too interesting at the time but I distinct-

ingredients. Fair enough, except that he added the “rotten” nuts contained a known carcinogen.

Now, one might not take everything one hears in school as gospel, but I believed him. In 2012, you can Google just about anything. Check it out. Apparently, aflotoxins are a type of fungus that increases the risk of liver cancer. They are found on mouldy peanuts and grains common enough in tropical regions.

Yes, we are supposed to be safe from this but with the recent round of cuts to government inspectors who is really looking out for these kinds of things?

Back to the orchard work. My point is that more often than not you get what you pay for. The Canadian grown nursery stock that I sell hasn’t had to cross the border.

Many different ways to have fun out there

It would be impossible for me to list all the ways in which people enjoy our surroundings or some aspect of nature and the outdoors.

The common ground for most of these aspects comprises offering opportunities for diversion, learning, appreciation, awareness, exercise, entertainment and so on. Some or all of these can be a basis for just being fun.

This time of year, a common sound is the rapid rapping-tapping of any one of our various kinds of woodpeckers, including flickers and sapsuckers. It seems a dry branch, hollow tree trunk, a power pole or even some metal on a house roof are likely places that best transmit a loud and clear message. I recall several experiences to do with woodpeckers and power pole rapping.

By Pastor Ian Cotton Creston Seventh-day Adventist Church and Mormons. Coming from an engineering background, I wanted proof. I studied deeply to see what they claimed was true and concluded that it was not.

One group said that the text had to be interpreted — “The Bible says this, but it means that!” The other said that The Book of Mormon was the only true authority. I did not agree with either.

Then I met a Seventh-day Adventist and I

pens. You may be in for some surprises.

There is one thing that is required to a lesser or greater degree to have fun in nature.

That is patience. The experiences, where one actually stops for a few minutes or longer and gives full attention to the event, will have much more meaningful and longlasting memories. We say a lot without saying much when we ask a photographer how they got such interesting and/ or beautiful photos. What do you think they will say? Some say, “Stop at the ‘signs’, not just slow down,” or, “Stop, look and listen.” Others suggest taking time to smell the flowers. Another may say, “To catch a butterfly, sit down on a log. It will come to you.”

ridiculed him for worshipping on the “wrong” day.

Together we were working for 40 hours non-stop on a plant startup. He was the engineer and I the technologist. He vanished one Friday evening and did not come back until after it got dark Saturday night. I was tired and not amused. And called him all the names under the sun.

He asked, “Ian, do you believe that God has a message for all in the Bible, or by a church, or by the pope?” and I answered, “God speaks through the Bible.”

He gave me some Bible texts and told me to let the Bible explain itself. I went home and got my JW Bible and studied them all. When I was finished I was totally persuaded that Jesus was the answer, and that He had given the world a day for worship — the seventh-day Sabbath, as a memorial of creation and redemption. And for all time. And, that if you were going to follow the Bible, then you would worship on the day of God’s choosing — the Sabbath. But I did not care.

One evening I was reading through the book of James and became totally convicted that I was a sinner and needed a Saviour. I had not murdered anyone but I had stolen and so was guilty of breaking the Ten Commandments, which God says is sin. (1 John 3:4) See THINK, page 14

Focus on Youth April 30 - May 4, 2012

Focus on Youth is a very special festival that is unique in all the province, and it takes place here in li’l old Creston! In its twenty-sixth year, this joyful week features the talents of our Valley’s young people in a non-competitive, yet very professionally presented way. It is co-sponsored by School District 8 and the Creston Valley Music Teachers’ Association and showcases a week of approximately one hour concerts in the Prince Charles Theatre plus a delightful art show at the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce. It shows the creativity of our teachers, both public and private, and their students. Every daytime concert is a charming combination of class presentations and individual students sharing their talents. Evening shows feature our more advanced teens. All shows are free; donations greatfully accepted, and it is amazing to us, as coordinators, how many people don’t yet know of this event, or think of it only for parents’ interests, and don’t take advantage of being charmed by at least one concert! Come on out and support our very talented teachers and young people!!

You’ll be glad you did!

Government focused on jobs Slogan 40: Solve all and long-term prosperity problems with one idea

The Harper government recently introduced Economic Action Plan 2012 — a positive plan to grow Canada’s economy for today and into the future.

Unlike other places in the world, especially the United States and Europe, Canada’s economy has emerged from the global recession much better than other industrialized countries. With the help of the government’s low-tax agenda and

Canada’s economic action plan, since July 2009, Canada has created over 610,000 net new jobs.

What’s more, independent international observers like the International Monetary Fund

From Parliament Hill David Wilks

and Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development predict Canada will be at the head of the G-7 pack in economic growth for the years ahead. But we cannot become complacent as the global economy remains fragile and too many Canadians are still looking for work. That’s why the economic action plan takes advantage of today’s opportunity to position Canada for jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity.

Since taking office in 2006, the government has been lowering taxes (over 140 tax cuts altogether), helping hard-working families get ahead (average family is paying $3,100 less in taxes under our government), supporting entrepreneurs (lowering taxes on job-creating businesses) and creating an environment to help create long-term jobs (Forbes magazine ranks Canada as the best place in the world for businesses to grow and create jobs).

Building on that record, the economic action plan moves forward with a positive and ambitious agenda. For instance, to ensure Canada remains competitive, the economic action plan will make major new investments in advanced research, science and technology, and more.

These investments will encourage innovation and position Canada to succeed in the knowledge economy of the 21st century.

Think

From page 8 I accepted Jesus as my Saviour and under the new covenant He wrote His laws in my heart and mind and thus brought my life into harmony with God’s ways as described by His law, the Ten Commandments — as a direct result of my salvation experience.

I realized that “Christ came not into the world to condemn the

world, but that the world through him might be saved.” Jesus, Creator and Redeemer, said, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” And we show that relationship by obedience to His word.

Now, some 44 years later. I am so glad that Jesus loved me so much that He was willing to die for my sin and to give me the assurance that He is the Creator and my Redeemer. That is why I remain a Seventh-day Adventist.

And He extends the same invitation to all.

They released their long awaited first CD, Time Stands Still, last summer, and will be performing at the Snoring Sasquatch on May 5.

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising.

On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*

54 or older as of March 31, 2012

You may still obtain OAS/GIS at age 65

53 or younger as of March 31, 2012

The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029

Starting in July 2013, Canadians who are eligible for, but not yet receiving OAS will have the flexibility to delay receiving it in exchange for a higher monthly amount at a later date.

The number of working-age Canadians for every senior is decreasing** 6

The number of working-age Canadians per senior is decreasing, placing additional pressure on the OAS program.

The annual sturgeon release at the former West Creston ferry landing was a popular event on Wednesday, when spectators and participants packed the area for the chance to release a juvenile white sturgeon into the Kootenay River.

A total of 2,600 were released, with Creston area schools placing 1,600 into the river in the morning, and the public releasing 1,000 following the arrival of the Rick Hansen Relay.

The release is an attempt to repopulate the dwindling species in the Kootenay River in Canada and the U.S. About 25 per cent will survive the next six months. Of those, 80 per cent will survive the next year, and 90 per cent of those will survive the following year.

The annual sturgeon release event is supported by the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (a partnership between BC Hydro, the province of B.C. and Fisheries and Oceans Canada), Ktunaxa Nation council, Lower Kootenay Indian Band, Canadian Columbia River Inter-tribal Fisheries Commission, Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho (KTOI) and FortisBC.

Locals bear medals on relay days 239 and 240 Advance Staff

The Rick Hansen Relay, celebrating the 25th anniversary of Rick Hansen's Man in Motion world tour, arrived in Creston on April 18 at the end of the relayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 239th day.

Alex Nilsson, Todd Francoeur, Rhonda Oswald, Lisa Primrose, Ross Beddoes, Joanne Beddoes and Harry Haberstock carried the Rick Hansen Medal from the welcome to Creston sign to the end-of-day celebration at the Creston and District Community Complex. There, a small audience watched as the medal was taken from Haberstock, then joined in as the medal bearers and relay staff danced to Katy Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Firework.

On the morning of April 19, local bearers kicked off the 240th day of the 12,000-kilometre cross-country event. Morgan Fleck, Samantha Cassel, Phil Thomas, Kaitlyn Zolynsky and Megan Emary carried the Rick Hansen Medal from Prince Charles Secondary School to Creston Town Hall, where Emary passed the medal to endurance athlete Joey Desjardins.

Permit now required for fishing at wildlife area CRESTON VALLEY WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY

This year, the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Authority is expanding its permit program to include fishing in Duck Lake or in any of the ponds and channels on Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area property. As with hunting, this will provide information on the number of people fishing and will help staff to assess the impact on the resource.

According to the Creston Valley Wildlife Act, a permit must be obtained for activities that occur on the CVWMA property. A permit policy helps staff assess and manage the impact that recreational activities have on wildlife habitat.

In addition, the regulations under this act allow a fee “commensurate with the value

of the benefit afforded to the permit holder.”

Beginning in 2009, the CVWMA, in cooperation with the Kootenay landowner enfranchisement pilot project and supported by the Ministry of Environment, began to enforce the section of the act that required hunters to obtain a permit for hunting within CVWMA boundaries. In addition to the permit, hunters are required by the province to have a B.C. hunting licence. Now, after three years, the CVWMA knows that approximately 200 hunters a year take out permits to hunt elk, moose, bear, deer and waterfowl. A survey will be undertaken this year to determine the number of animals harvested in a season.

Further information on obtaining permits for these activities is currently in the

BC Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis and will appear in the next addition of the BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis.

Those people who do not hunt or fish at the CVWMA but use the area for other recreational opportunities are encouraged to purchase a membership. There are a variety of options, depending on your needs — family, grandparent, senior, individual and student rates. The membership fees allows staff to maintain the hiking trails and viewing towers and provide educational opportunities at the Wildlife Interpretation Centre.

Close to 2,000 school students from the Kootenays visit each spring to participate in programs. Thousands of people also take part in guided canoe tours, and special events and programs.

The CVWMA operates as a not-for prof-

it provincial crown agency federal charitable status. It does not receive annual funding from the provincial or federal government. It receives annual support from BC Hydro and the Town of Creston and relies on the support of the greater community through donations, memberships and permit fees. It also receives grants to carry out specific activities and projects.

Permits and memberships can be acquired at www.crestonwildlife.ca or in person at the administration building or Wildlife Interpretation Centre when open.

Hunting and fishing permits are $10 each or $15 for both, and are valid from April 1-March 31. Memberships range from $20-$35 and are valid for one year.

For more information, contact the CVWMA askus@crestonwildlife.ca or 250402-6900.

AND IMPLEMENT COMMON RATES On April 11, 2012, the FortisBC Energy Utilities applied to the British Columbia Utilities Commission to amalgamate their natural gas utilities across the province and to implement common rates and services across their service areas starting January 1, 2014. Currently, FortisBC Energy Utilities is made up of three separate natural gas companies, operating in six service areas. The companies have their own services, service agreements (tariffs) and rates. If approved, the application would combine the three companies into one, under a single tariff, with common rates for the various regions.

This Application has different implications for customers in each service area. If approved, customers in the Vancouver Island and Whistler service areas will see rate decreases, while customers in the Lower Mainland, Columbia, Inland, and Fort Nelson service areas will see an overall rate increase.

PUBLIC REVIEW PROCESS The Commission is initiating a review of FortisBC Energy Utilities’ Application. To view the timetable for this hearing and the Application go to www.bcuc.com select “Current Applications” under “Quick Links” and scroll to “FEU Common Rates, Amalgamation and Rate Design.”

Presentation encourages apprecation for wilderness WILDSIGHT

Award winning photojournalists Baiba and Patrick Morrow reflect upon three decades of high adventure throughout the mountains of

Looking toward Tibet’s 6,600-meter Mount Kailash (right).

Baiba and Partick Morrow photo

the world in Mountains: The Sacred and the Profane, a presentation hosted by the Creston Valley branch of Wildsight.

The Morrows believe that contemplation of sacred places, whether gazing at the top of Tibet’s 6,600-metre Mount Kailash or exploring the Jumbo Valley in the Purcells of B.C., can help us appreciate the value of wilderness.

Appreciation leads to care and respect for the environment and instills a pride and a sense of place within us.

In 2002, at the G8 environment ministers meeting in Banff, Alta., Pat and Baiba presented a show based on the western world’s exploitative relationship with nature. As spiritual and cultural values erode in our overly consumptive world, it is critical that we make every effort to rekindle our connection with nature.

The presentation will take the audience on a journey from the carved sandstone canyons of the A m e r i c a n Southwest to a remote trek into a beyul, or sacred hidden valley, on the border of Tibet and Nepal. Of special interest are the pictures and video clips from our own Purcell Mountains and the recently produced film Qat’Muk — Where the Grizzly Bears Go To Dance, in the never-ending quest to keep the mountains wild and free.

Mountains: The Sacred and the Profane runs at 7:30 p.m.

Alan Waterton Foster

January 16, 1935 - March 30, 2012 Known throughout the Canadian Rockies from Waterton Park, AB to the Yukon, Alan passed away in his sleep near family at Rocky Mountain House, AB. The ď&#x192;&#x17E;rst baby boy born in Waterton Park, AB to Walter and Eda Foster, Alan grew up among the hustle and bustle of the newly formed park where he learned a smattering of trades from carpentry to masonry. As a result he became the "Backyard Genius" that he was. He became a park warden, worked on numerous ranches in Southern Alberta and on Al Oming's Game Farm.

Alan was a true mountain man, a guide, hunter and trapper. He supplied many families with fresh meat.

He shot the world record royal elk at the age of 17 and had numerous sheep and bear in the record books.

He loved animals, even keeping a wolf and deer as pets. He also loved anything to do with wood. He built 42 log homes; numerous barns, cabins and miles of rail fence. He truly loved the independent outdoor life.

Alan never missed a good dance or a chance to play his harmonica. He loved to tell stories of his adventures and many are documented in books by Andy Russell and Don Brestler. He was a true legend who always put a smile on your face or gifted you with his generosity.

Alan is survived by his daughter Diana Ferrill (Rick) of Rocky; two granddaughters Tanya and Twyla Thebeau of Red Deer; two great grandsons Corbin and Colton; his brother Robert Foster (Barb) of Medicine Hat; his sister Gladys Charman of Creston, BC; and his nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held on June 16, 2012 at the Twin Butte Hall, south of Pincher Creek, AB at 1 pm.

Cremation entrusted to the Rocky Funeral Home, Rocky Mountain House, AB.

James Richard Hendrickson December 4, 1946 ~ April 16, 2012

James passed away on April 16, 2012 after losing a battle with cancer.

James was born in Walla Walla, Washington to Richard D. and Hilda Hendrickson (Olsen) on December 4, 1946. After his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in 1953 his father married Anna Marie Eisinger (Christenson) and they moved to Creston, BC in 1954. Anna lovingly cared for and raised James as her own.

James graduated from Creston High School in 1966.

He farmed with his father and then worked as a bookkeeper for Paula and Bruce Avery at 4A Sheet Metal for 15 years. He attended the Jehovah Witness church and was selď&#x192;&#x;essly helped by the members and also his many friends and neighbours during his illness.

At his request, no service will be held.

In loving memory of James, donations can be made to Creston Valley Hospital, Bag 3000, Creston, BC V0B 1G0

Local News

Canyon garbage From page 1 While he was busy filling bags with trash, the former Creston minor hockey referee talked to 15 or 20 people, he said, who were out walking, some with dogs or children.

“They were all disgusted by what they saw,” he said.

In addition to his efforts to clean up some of the mess, Murray has posted some videos on his Facebook page, showing others what he found and advocating for action to prevent the dumping.

Concrete barriers placed at the pullout beside the bridge have been moved, likely by drivers looking for a little privacy while they carry out their illegal dumping activities.

“Concrete barriers don’t work,” he said. “I think there needs to be a chain link fence with an opening too small for cars and trucks, but wide enough for people, motorcycles and quads.

And maybe there should be some cameras set up in the trees so dumpers can be identified and

charged.”

Murray said he got a dirty look or two when he stacked garbage bags against, ironically, a no refuse sign at the pullout, but people were more sympathetic when he explained what he was doing.

“One lady even stopped and loaded about 20 bags into her truck to take to the landfill,” he smiled.

Murray said he visited Creston Town Hall and was told the area was part of the Town of Creston.

He plans to contact Regional District of Central Kootenay Area B director John Kettle to see if he can take the collected trash to the landfill in Lister without being charged.

“I’ll pay the fee if I have to,“ he said. “But maybe part of the problem with dumping is that people think the fees are too high, or that they don’t want to pay at all.

Whatever the reason, something should be done — we should be looking at the beauty of this valley when we go out, not at other peoples’ garbage.”

Landfill award

From page 1 Kettle, who also chairs the RDCK board, said the improvements have included bear fencing, cutting back and stabilizing slopes, blasting to expand usability of the site and provide rock products that don’t need to be trucked in and the first phase of a closure plan, in which filled areas are covered with a geo-membrane, then grassed over.

“It looks like a park on that covered area,” Kettle said. “It’s beautiful.”

Additionally, operator training and the purchase of a steel plate cover system to reduce exposure of waste before it is covered with soil have contributed to site improvement.

“This is a good indication of the commitment the regional district has made to work with our neighbours, the Lower Kootenay Band,” Kettle said.

“It is also a commitment to excellence that will allow us never to have to look back and say, ‘We screwed that up.’ ” The RDCK’s Mike Morrison, resource recovery manager, accepted the award on March 30 at the Solid Waste Association of North America conference.
