Fall from Canyon Bridge kills boy

First sand sculpture contest offers prizes

An 11-year-old boy was pronounced dead on the scene Monday evening after he fell while playing on trusses that support Canyon Bridge, west of Creston just off Highway 3.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said police, ambulance and fire department personnel were called to the scene after 5 p.m.

“Three young brothers were climbing around the trusses,” he said. “One slipped off and fell to the ground below. It was a drop of 40 to 60 feet.”

Gollan said that investigation of the death is in the hands of the BC Coroners Service and that there is no suspicion of foul play.

“This is a very dangerous practice, playing under a bridge of that height,” he said.

Emergency personnel were able to reach the accident scene by way of a trail that winds down the steep incline from Canyon-Lister Road to the Goat River below. The area contains a popular swimming hole.

Police were not releasing the name of the deceased at press time.

Playing in the sand can reap benefits this weekend, that is if you are a participant in Creston’s first annual sand sculpture contest.

World-class sand sculptor Paul Dawkins is supervising the project on the Ramada Hotel and Conference Centre property at the corner of highways 3 and 3A. “There is no need to register ahead,” said Dawkins. “Just show up.”

He will provide a free training workshop to anyone who wants it — more confident artists “can wing it.”

With 39 years of experience in making sand, snow and ice sculptures on six continents, Dawkins brings plenty of knowledge to his craft. He has amassed 21 medals and five titles in the White Rock and Harrison Hot Springs world sand sculpture championships.

Winter program helps swimmers maintain skills

LOcaL news

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 3

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Following the Aug. 13-19 provincial championships, the Creston Wave Swim Club is now finished for the season, but for some, the break will only be a few months — the winter maintenance program kicks off in January, something potential members should think about over the fall.

“It would definitely be a good start and prepare you for summer,” said coach Kevin Woykin. “You don’t take that few weeks to catch up to everybody else.”

From January through April, members meet for two hours a week; any more time and the club would no longer be considered a summer program.

The low-impact sport is good for athletes who don’t excel at team sports — swimmers compete on their own — and provides excellent off-training for sports like hockey and soccer.

This summer, about 35 swimmers were part of the club, which Woykin enjoyed coaching for the third summer in a row.

“It’s a really fun job,” said the University of Victoria biology student, who plans to go into medicine. “It’s always fun being around kids.”

Thanks to Creston’s indoor swimming pool, which has entered its third year since opening, swimmers can practice on their own in the fall, leading up to the winter maintenance program. Then, when Waves start up fulltime in May, they will be ready for greater challenges.

“A lot of new swimmers improve a ton,” said Woykin. “A lot of them start with water wings and a life jacket, and by the end they’re doing it on their own.”

For more information on the Creston Wave Swim Club, email crestonwave@ gmail.com or call assistant coach Monique Ares at 250-402-6768.

QUEEN’S MEDAL — Lower Kootenay Band Chief Jason Louie was presented with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal on Sunday by Richard Blackwolf,

president of the Canadian Aboriginal Veterans and Serving Members Association. Louie was a recipient of one of 80 medals the association was asked to distribute to selected members across Canada. The lieutenant is a serving member of the Canadian Army in the 49th Field Engineering Squadron based in Trail.

Sculpture is ‘most elaborate piece’ From page 1 For his first Creston project, he envisions a sculpture that could last until Christmas — it’s being built under a shelter — and a theme that embraces a bridge between First Nations and European culture.

“It’s the most elaborate piece ever in my 39 years,” he said.

He is also incorporating the logos of sponsoring local businesses, weaving them into what promises to be a piece of art unlike any ever in Creston.

Dawkins has worked on far larger scales, building sculptures up to six acres in area, using 70,000 tons of sand and reaching 67 feet in height, but the one-time film animator is excited to be working on a project that will have incredible detail. Already the section he has been working on each evening is showing that he knows his business. A towering mountain peak features a winding road, reflective of The Creston DriveBy, the title he has selected for the piece.

Participating artists are promised plenty of fun and the chance to win prizes valued up to $1,500. Aspiring sand sculptors will work on ready-made sand blocks and screened sand will be provided. Bring hand trowels, kitchen utensils, small shovels or your favourite beach toys, or use tools provided by Dawkins.

The contest will run from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Sept. 1 and 2, with the winners (chosen by public ballot) announced on Sunday at 5 p.m. For more information, call Dawkins at 250-402-1036.

SD8 trustee stepping down

BY SAM VAN SCHIE Nelson Star

The School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) trustee for Slocan Valley is stepping down from her position.

Two-term trustee Barbara Lindsay is pursuing an opportunity to volunteer at public schools in Zanzibar in September. Though she’s only nine months into the three year elected position she received by acclamation, Lindsay said her skills will be put to better use overseas.

“There’s a skill set I have and I’m passionate about and I can use in a way that’s probably better for me and better for people,” she said.

Lindsay spent six years travelling the world as a teacher and adviser after she retired in 2002.

Her work took her to Kuwait, Mexico, Egypt, Korea and Quatar.

When the opportunity to work in Zanzibar came through her email inbox, she couldn’t help but respond.

“I just hit send, and then they called me and now I’m off on a direction that I have no idea how it will unfold,” she said.

She has a one year contract to work with the heads of five primary schools and five secondary schools on Pemba Island, helping them develop curriculum and sharing best practices from the BC education system.

“I’m hoping to do some work around gender equality and create some strength for young

women and girls,” she said. “There’s a lot about the job I won’t find out until I get there.”

The school board was slated to receive Lindsay’s official resignation at its Aug. 28 regular meeting.

Supt. Jeff Jones said the board will have to make a plan to fill the position.

“We’re discussing with the prov-

ince our options for how to do that,” Jones said.

Lindsay said she’s been talking with several people in Slocan who might be interested in taking her place.

“It would good to have a real election, with multiple candidates, to really get people interested in discussions around education,” she said.

A CBC Radio program on Saturday raised a topic that seems to have relevance in almost every aspect of human society. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a wonderful reinforcement for libertarians â&#x20AC;&#x201D; folks who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like too much government influence or interference in their lives.

The Invisible Handâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s topic on the weekend was an economic concept called perverse incentives, which are the unintended results of actions taken to address a particular issue. The most amusing example on the program was a plan in Hanoi to reduce a problem rat population. Get the people to take on the battle, officials decided.

Encourage them to kill the rats by paying them for each one. Of course, the city government didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be inundated by people arriving at offices with dead rats so, like most similar plans over the years and around the world, it decided to settle for the tail. It takes me back to my gopher-snaring days in Calgary.

But, as Robert Burns said so beautifully: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best-laid schemes oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mice anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; men Gang aft agley, Anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;e us nought but grief anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pain, For promisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d joy!â&#x20AC;?

The first sign that something was amiss came when officials noticed tailless rats running around in alleys and gutters. Then, a number of â&#x20AC;&#x153;rat farmsâ&#x20AC;? were discovered. Residents were taking full advantage of the rat tail reward scheme, first by not bothering to kill the rodents (a messy and unnecessary activity, and one that, shall we say, kills the goose that lays the golden egg) and then upping the ante by capturing them

and practicing rat husbandry (and wifery, too, one surmises), making it unnecessary to actually go out and hunt for the animals.

The Hanoi government abandoned the plan when an analysis

a story about an Austrian woman in 18th century who was so disillusioned with her arranged marriage that she decided she wanted to die.

The problem she faced was that suicide was a sure passage to hell because a person who takes his own life has no opportunity to be blessed and forgiven for his sins.

She thought she had found a loophole when she tried to commit suicide by consuming arsenic in a small enough quantity that she would have time to Lorne Eckersley repent in the presence of a priest before she died, thus showed the rat population was actu- paving her way to heaven. She ally increasing. eventually abandoned that plan Another example cited was the and came up with an even more three-strikes-and-youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re-out policy dire scheme.

Government adds EI benefit for families with sick children

The government of Canada is committed to supporting parents and families. To this end, on Aug. 7, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced a proposed new Employment Insurance (EI) special benefit for parents of critically ill children.

The government recognizes the emotional and financial challenges faced by parents when a child has a lifethreatening illness or injury and the vital role parents play in a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery.

Once implemented, this new EI special benefit will provide income support for up to 35 weeks to parents or legal guardians of minor children (under 18 years of age) with a life-threatening illness or injury.

As with other EI special benefits, applicants (parents or legal guardians) will need to have worked a minimum of 600 hours in the last year and take leave from their employment. Self-employed workers who have opted into the EI pro-

gram will need to have earned income in the previous calendar year ($6,222 in 2012) to be eligible for the benefit. All applicants will also need to submit a medical cer-

condition improves or in the unfortunate event that the child passes away.

For the purposes of this new special benefit, a critically ill child is defined as one who has a life-threatening illness or injury for which continued parental care or support is required.

The new EI special benefit for parents of critically ill children is expected to be available in June 2013 and will help an estimated 6,000 families per year.

This new EI special benefit will ease the financial pressure on parents who take time off work to care for their critically ill or injured children when they need it the most.

As the member of Parliament for Kootenay-Columbia, I am pleased that our government has taken this further initiative to assist and support families.

David Wilks is the member of Parliament for the Kootenay-Columbia federal riding.

Time to fight smart meters

To the Editor: Creston and area residents may not yet be aware of the Fortis BC plan to replace electric analog meters with a wireless “smart” or “advanced” meter, part of the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) project to be done on all homes within the near future.

The Aug. 16 Advance includes their public notice of application for this AMI project. From the website www.ecolighten.com: “Following in the footsteps of BC Hydro’s smart metering roll-out, Fortis BC recently filed an application with the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) for an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) project.

Released on July 26, the application outlines the plan for AMI including the costs, the benefits to customers and the public consultation process. Advanced meters or ‘smart meters’ provide a number of advantages for consumers and the utility alike, including real-time access to energy information, reduced estimates for billing, quicker notification of outages and electricity theft reduction, which costs millions annually. …

“A few high-level bullets on the AMI program include: “•Number of meters — 115,000 meters exchanged in total; “•Cost — $47 million AMI program; “•Timing — Meter exchanges would begin in 2014 and be complete by the end of 2015; “•Environment — Eliminates 191,000 tonnes of GHG emissions from meter reading vehicles.

“•Theft prevention — Electricity theft costs Fortis BC about $3.7 million annually.”

Creston residents should also become aware and informed of the hundreds of documented problems, hazards and potential dangers associated with these new meters. The smart meters have been installed in many states in the U.S. and many cities in Canada. To date, there are reports of huge cost increases in electricity bills, numerous fires and fire explosions, sickness in people and animals, dead bees and plants, and damage to appliances and electronics, pacemakers, along with safety, security and privacy problems.

If you haven’t heard about this yet, start becoming informed about these dangers by visiting www.stopsmartmetersbc.ca. The reports are staggering and shocking! You will not want one of these meters on your home or work building.

Time is of the essence, and you must register your comments by Sept. 7 with the BCUC (www.bcuc.com ). Why didn’t they give people more time for this process?

It’s good to know that the Regional District of Central Kootenay has passed two resolutions this year supporting an opt-out provision for these meters.

Please, Creston and area residents, also continue to voice your concerns with your town council or regional district over these not so smart wireless meters. Ask for a moratorium as Osoyoos and 53 other B.C. cities have done. BC Hydro and Fortis BC appar-

Financial tips People need balance with for town nature

To the Editor: Creston town council has been operating in a crisis management style for the past decade, with managers being comparatively overpaid and departments overstaffed, including overly generous financial funding paid out for council members’ travel allowances. All of this is resulting in excessively high taxation to the property and business owners in the town, resulting in direct shorting to all who are concerned about regaining financial control toward sustaining and growing essential infrastructure levels, including street maintenance.

To reverse this situation, I suggest the following items be placed on the town council’s agenda for a town hall meeting exclusively for these six items.

Each of the issues to be discussed and decisions made on each item by way of secret ballot vote by council members: •A resolution to be passed that reduces the number of councillors in the 2014 municipal election from six to four; •Freeze salaries for a minimum of eight years to allow for positive reassessment of all areas of expenditure; •Travel restrictions by council members will be limited to one per month, with distances limited to a radius of Nelson to the north and Cranbrook to the east. As an alternative to expending higher cost travel funds for interacting with municipalities farther away, council will adopt the use of modern interactive telecommunications systems (such as video conferencing) from now on; •Effective immediately, council must revert its town hall meeting times back to 7 p.m. as is the norm with all other municipal town hall meetings in B.C. By not doing so, council is blatantly denying its Creston citizens the opportunity to express their concerns without having to book time off from their workplace; •Effective Feb. 1, 2013, council hire one newly graduated police officer for the Town of Creston at a starting salary of $38,000 for the first three years, then hire one more rookie graduate each year for the next five years. Living within the town’s limits will be part of the application requirements. Once this is accomplished, council can cancel the town’s contract with the RCMP, which is neither affordable nor feasible; and •In the spring of 2013, following the budget, begin a replacement program for all the town’s half-ton pickup trucks. Starting with two per year, switch to more fuel-efficient mid-size pickup trucks, with standard transmissions to reduce overall costs. Also consider the savings for fleet insurance and purchase pricing with fleet buying.

All of the above strategies are considered “aggressive management” and are essential to undertake if our town is

To the Editor: Many of the actions being taken today by environmentally conscientious people are more or less attempts to treat a symptom of the big problem.

And perhaps a piecemeal process is the most effective way to get the majority to take part in the process. But I think that it is opportune to draw Canadians’ attention to a matter of grave concern and suggest to you that rallying to stop the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline and thereby prevent the almost certain spills of bitumen and solvent from the pipeline or the tankers carrying it to overseas markets is, more or less, treating a symptom.

Here is the prologue: Our solar system was formed about 4.5 billion years ago and our sun is expected to expand into a red giant in another four billion years, thereby NOWSo we can annihilating life on Earth. plan ahead for four billion years. It RECYCLING took about 3.5 billion of the 4.5 billion LEAD years for astronomical, geological and some biological events and processes ACID for substances likeVEHICLE sodium, chlorine, phosphorus, potassium, nitrates, heavy and light metals, BATTERIES and carbon-based gasses, liquids and solids to be separated and concentrated, then sequestered in large deposits beneath the surface of our planet and, thereby, about one billion years ago, making our atmosphere, oceans and land suitable for the development of oxygen-breathing animals.

Here is the big problem: Presently, we are mining, drilling, pumping and fracking (hydraulic fracturing) in order to unsequester these substances, use them to supply energy, grow food, manufacture machines and devices, and give us a better quality of life and great economy. However, in the language of economists, there is a significant negative externality, which is: in unsequestering these substances, we return them to the air, water and land where they were in the beginning, and if we releaseONLY enough, our environStarburst ment will no longer be suitable for oxy55,958km gen breathing animals. That won’t give us a better quality of life for the remaining four billion years.

We need to get in balance with the nature of our planet, find the limit to our growth where we can recycle naturally, keep the air and water clean, use solar energy to its maximum potential, recognize everyone as equal and avoid having the four horsemen of the apocalypse make our decisions for us. That will give us a great economy without a negative externality.

See your veterinarian for equine dental care

Professional dental care is an essential part of animal health. This complex treatment can involve anesthesia and pain control, surgery and various medical and reconstructive procedures. Trust the care of your animal to a registered veterinarian.

for horses began at a very young age and has been the primary focus of my M ylife.passion I saved up and bought my ďŹ rst horse at age eleven and still have him today along with another gelding, a broodmare, and another leased mare that I am hoping to get my next prospects out of this coming year. I rode just about every discipline of riding growing up but dressage and jumping are my favorites. School came pretty easy for me as a child so I decided to become a vet around the age of ten with the thought of combining my academic ability with my love of horses. I was in Pony Club and 4-H for many years and got a good basic knowledge of horse care through those clubs.

G

etting the acceptance letter from veterinary school after several years of college and univeristy in order to complete all of the prerequisites was one of the best days of my life. I understood how competitive it was and becoming a vet was absolutely the only career I was interested in so it was pretty stressful wondering if I would ever get in, and therefore a huge relief when it ďŹ nally happened!

Dr. Emma Davis and friends

Dr. Robert McLeod, B. Sc, DVM Dr. John Pfeffer, B. Sc, DVM Dr. Leanne Sackney, B. Sc, DVM Dr. Emma Davis, B. Sc, DVM

I would do soley equine work when I graduated, so in school I chose to do all of the I thought equine electives and ďŹ lled my practical year with mostly equine rotations. I stayed longer in Saskatoon the summer before my ďŹ nal year doing a six-week equine rotation that included medicine, surgery, and ďŹ eld service in order to get more cases during the busier time of year.

This enabled me to get much more experience with reproductive work, foal medicine, general medicine, surgery, ďŹ eld work, and a lot more training with equine dental work.

I graduated from the Western College of W hen Veterinary Medicine in 2011 I started work with

an equine vet in the West Kootenays and did strictly equine work for the ďŹ rst few months. Come late summer, the equine work slowed down and it was time to look for small animal or mixed work. That is when I approached Dr. McLeod and was very lucky to get on at the Creston Veterinary Clinic where we see all animal species.

I really like Creston and I love the clinic and the staff so I hope I will be working here for a very long time.

Fascination with local food leads couple to beekeeping

Who: Jen and Joel Comer (with a lot of help from Jim and Val Comer) What: Beekeeping and other sustainable farm endeavours Where: The Comer family farm on the Creston flats and Lew Truscott’s honey house When: Since 2010 Why: “Our goal is to have a diversified, sustainable farm.”

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff Jen Comer has been in love since she was 13, when she was living in Nelson and fell for an older man, Joel Comer, age 14. Now with a baby, and a dream of self-sufficiency, the couple recently celebrated their eighth anniversary and are on an odyssey to make a living as farmers in the Creston Valley.

Joel was a home-school student when he met Jen, who was attending L.V. Rogers Secondary School at the time.

After graduating, they headed to Victoria, where they both earned degrees in geography at the University of Victoria.

“We always wanted to return to the Kootenays to live a back-to-the-land kind of life,” Jen says. “Then the opportunity with the farmers’ market came up and we had our reason to make the move.

We’ve been trying to figure out how to make it work ever since we came back.”

Jen was hired to manage the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market in 2010, the first time the market has ever had a paid person to organize and promote it.

Under her leadership, and with the help and guidance of a volunteer Creston Valley Food Action Coalition board, the

market has thrived, growing into a twoday-a-week hub of activity.

Managing the market (she’s currently on parental leave, having given birth to a daughter, Aspen, in July) is only part of the plan, though. Joel’s parents, Jim and Val Comer, have King Creek Farm on the Creston flats and are providing the young couple with the opportunity to explore their interests and test out what direction they want to take as farmers. Jen and Joel recently renovated his grandparents’ mobile home on the property, which gives them their first shot at home ownership, not to mention the pressures of a mortgage on the house.

This year, the Comer family team has expanded what started as a small beekeeping venture, purchasing the honey business from Lew Truscott, who continues to act as mentor and support system while they learn the ropes.

Jim and Val had started out with two hives in 2009 and 2010, and 10 the next year, with Jen and Joel, but the jump to 75 hives has required a big learning curve.

“We’ve just fallen in love with it,” Jen says. “They are amazing creatures. And it’s fantastic for me to have an unlimited supply of honey in my kitchen — it’s pretty well the only sweetener I use and it has so many health properties!”

Bees hibernate through the winter in their hives, but come spring the familiar stacks of white and coloured boxes pop up on farms, orchards and even mountainsides. It is in the spring, once the weather warms sufficiently, that they slowly start to become active and fly out from the hives to collect nectar from flowers — dandelions offer the first major opportunity for life-sustaining pollen and juice.

“As long as the bees are healthy, our biggest concern is swarming,” she says.

If the bees find something unsatisfactory about their hive — insufficient space or a sense of danger, for instance — they begin to cluster together in the air, then fly away from the hive in search of a more suitable home.

Local honey

From page 12 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an amazing sight,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ten to twenty thousand bees moving en masse.â&#x20AC;?

If the beekeeperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luck is bad, the swarm isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t found in time to recover it. With luck, the bees can be gently collected into a box and moved back to their hive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The swarm will gather on a tree and it might require that branches be cut away so the beekeepers can get at them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty tricky.â&#x20AC;?

A couple of swarms have added to the Comersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience this spring, but they were able to recover all of the bees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are out there every day or two, checking on the hives.â&#x20AC;?

This year, the Comersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hives are set out on their own property and three farms in Lister.

The bees need to be in close proximity to suitable flowers, but they will travel for upwards of five miles from their hive before returning. That means beekeepers have to be cognizant of the placement of other hives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to be aware of what other beekeepers are doing,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to play nice with everybody!â&#x20AC;?

At the Comer farm, bees feed primarily on clover, alfalfa and wildflowers and the ones on the other farms get a different variety of flowers from which to collect nectar. July is â&#x20AC;&#x153;honey flushâ&#x20AC;? season and in a period of about two weeks, Jen says 80 to 90 per cent of the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honey is produced.

ANNUAL

Once the frames within the beehive boxes are filled with honey, the bees change their activity and work to put a wax cap on the surface. At that point, the honey has a high water content. Warm weather helps to evaporate the moisture, but the bees, remarkably, do their part by flapping their wings to fan the air in the hive.

Until the moisture content is reduced, the honey is susceptible to fermentation, something neither the bees nor their keepers want to happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From that point, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a waiting game as we bide our time until the moisture content is down to about 16 or 17 per cent.â&#x20AC;?

Extraction of honey from the combs within the frames takes place in August. The frames are pulled from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;supersâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the boxes that are stacked one on top of another in the fields â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to a machine that scrapes off the wax. The building, or honey house, is heated to make the honey flow easier and the frame â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there are nine in each super â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is placed into a centrifuge that spins the liquid honey free. It is collected in large vat, where it is screened to filter out bits of wax or â&#x20AC;&#x153;bee partsâ&#x20AC;?, then ready to be put in containers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been stung since we started beekeeping,â&#x20AC;? Jen laughs, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but Joel and Jim have. Bees arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really aggressive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wasps that are really nasty! Bees only sting when they are threatened and are protecting their hive.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Michelin manâ&#x20AC;? white suits with screened face masks are used when keepers are working with the hives, but slow movements and a calm demeanor are key to ensuring the bees donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feel threat-

ened and get overexcited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bee stings actually have health benefits,â&#x20AC;? she adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are good for arthritis and other ailments.â&#x20AC;?

Jen says honey production can become specialized, with bees being placed in locations that have flowers that impart

distinct flavours and aromas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; clover, lavender or wildflowers, for instance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Small-scale honey is so different from grocery store honey, which is more bland, being blended from huge quantities,â&#x20AC;? she says.

In large-scale production,

honey is often a byproduct, the main job for the bees being to pollinate huge farms or orchards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The difference in small scale honey is amazing,â&#x20AC;? says Jen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the reasons we are so fascinated with local food, why we love it so much.â&#x20AC;?

Their Safety is in Your Hands

Please remember:

Watch for children walking on medians, roadways or curbs, and be cautious when approaching intersections.

The speed limit in playground zones is 30 km/hr and is in effect from dawn to dusk every day of the year.

When school is back in session, the 30 km/hr speed limit in school zones is in effect from 8am to 5pm on days when students are in class.

Take the chaos out of breakfast

According to Breakfast Clubs of Canada, studies show that kids who eat a healthy, balanced breakfast are more interested in school, are better able to concentrate, and have stronger social skills than those who don't. Here are some easy tips to get kids pumped about breakfast: •Make breakfast a family affair: The easiest way to encourage kids to eat a healthy breakfast is for par-

ahead (and even prepare the night before), making breakfast more enjoyable in the morning.

•Think outside the plate: Breakfast smoothies are an easy way to pack a nutritious punch.

Here's an easy one using ingredients that most families have in their kitchen: put 2 cups of 100% Minute Maid Orange Juice, ½ cup of strawberry yoghurt, 5-6 whole strawberries, a peeled banana and 5 ice cubes in a blender. Blend until smooth. Customize the consistency by adding more or less of any of the ingredients or swap the strawberries for raspberries, depending on preference.

It's that easy.

This fall, the choices parents make around the breakfast table have the potential to help other kids too. The Minute Maid brand will give a portion of sales of participating 100% juices during the back to school period, up to a maximum of $150,000, to Breakfast Clubs of Canada, a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing services and funding to school breakfast programs. More information is available online at minutemaid.ca.

ents to do the same. Set time aside each morning to sit down and eat as a family. Kids are much more likely to imitate the behaviours they observe.

•Get the kids involved: Let the kids contribute to menu selection to make them feel invested in breakfast. Big families can plan a weekly schedule that allows each child to participate on a given day. This approach also helps families plan

Keeping your child’s lunchbox peanut-free It's back to school time again! Aside from buying new clothes and school supplies, you may want to consider what to pack for your kids' lunches and snacks — just make sure it's peanutfree!

These days it's not uncommon for schools to completely ban peanuts and peanut products. With food allergies affecting approximately six per cent of young children (Health Canada), schools across Canada are restricting certain food items, including peanuts, pecans, walnuts and cashews.

To ensure your kids' lunches are safe to bring to school, start by reading the school's policy on food allergens in the classroom – make sure you know what is, and isn't, allowed.

“Peanut-free foods are easier to find now than they used to be,” says Tina Stewart, registered dietitian for the President's Choice product develop-

ment team. “For example, many President's Choice products now have easy-to-read logos on the front of packaging and on individually wrapped food and snacks, especially for items geared to kids, like its Little Penguins Soft Cookies.”

Bearded Folk tour playing at Snoring Sasquatch SUBMITTED

Coming in from Calgary straight to the Snoring Sasquatch on Sept. 1, the Bearded Folk tour comprises three acoustic acts ranging from folk-rock to folk to instrumental — the only thing they truly have 100 per cent in common (apart from their love of acoustic music) are the hairs on their chinny chin chins.

With thought provoking lyrics, catchy melodies and a unique percussive guitar style consisting of picking, strumming and everything in between, Jonathan Ferguson looks to establish himself as a true folk rock troubadour. In the tradition of singer-songwriter greats like Paul Simon, Jackson Browne and Elvis Costello, Ferguson weaves stories into his songs that are very visual and detailed, not unlike the progression of a film, but with enough hooks to ensure they stick in you long after you’ve both parted ways. He is currently touring in support of his first solo record, Sweeter After Difficulties.

Joining Ferguson for this show will be the very talented, very percussive Mark Straub on cajon. A multi-in-

strumentalist of an incredible degree, Straub’s great ear for rhythm perfectly compliments Ferguson’s guitar style.

Influenced by groups as diverse as Coldplay and Simon and Garfunkel, Joel Pearson and Connor Kjersteen, known as Luminé, make what can only be described as beautiful music.

With thick harmonies, intricate arrangements, and an arresting stage presence sure to quiet the entire room with awe, the most surprising thing about this duo to any audience is that there are only two people on stage.

In the tradition of Michael Hedges, Kaki King and John Butler, Andrew Riches plays the guitar in a very non-traditional way. Riches’ unique and distinct style of harmonics, two-handed finger tapping, picking and strumming on the 12-string resonate within very quickly. He believes that creative music is one way to get reacquainted with the goodness of life.

On July 26, 2012, pursuant to the Utilities Commission Act (Act), FortisBC Inc. (FortisBC) filed an application (Application) for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure Project (AMI Project). FortisBC requests approval of a revised depreciation rate of five percent for the proposed AMI meters. The AMI Project has an estimated capital cost of approximately $47.7 million and is expected to commence in late 2013 and be complete by 2015. FortisBC proposes to install 115,000 residential and commercial AMI meters.

Participants and other parties are requested to submit comments prior to Friday, September 7, 2012 on the need for Community (Public) Input Sessions in the areas of Trail, Osoyoos, and Kelowna. A Procedural Conference will be scheduled to address the process by which to continue the review of the Application after and if Community Input Sessions are held.

By participating and/or providing comment on the application, you agree that all submissions and/or correspondence received relating to the Application will be placed on the public record and posted on the Commission’s website.

An initial regulatory timetable for review of the Application is outlined in Appendix A of Order G-105-12. In order to maintain firm contract pricing on the AMI system, FortisBC requests Commission approval of the proposed CPCN by July 20, 2013.

Photographer offering light painting demonstration

Celebrate with savings on great La-Z-Boy styles!

BY CHRIS BRAUER

Local photographer Jeff Banman of Jeff’s Photos ’n Motion will be demonstrating the technique of light painting on Aug. 31 at the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce at 1, 1:30 and 2 p.m. There is no cost.

Light painting is a photographic technique in which images, made generally at night or in a darkened room, are created by moving a handheld light source or by moving the camera itself. Using a slow shutter speed and by moving various light sources, the light can be used to selectively illuminate parts of the NATIONAL LA-Z-BOY subject or to “paint” a picture by shining directly into the lens. Though it can be traced back to the turn of the century, and was made popular by Man Ray in the 1930s, the technique has become accessible today to anyone with a digital camera.

An example of light painting.

unbridled creativity than anything else and with a few simple household items — flashlights, birthday sparklers or a spinning whisk filled with burning steel wool — the photographer can create cascading waterfalls of light, illumi-

nated fairy wings or graffiti in the sky.

Light painting allows for that frenetic energy that often accompanies the creative process. Above all, it brings out that childhood sense of wonder we too soon forget.
