How do you plan to support local food systems?

Greens believe that food and agriculture policy needs to be developed at the community level, supported by provincial and federal funding and legislation. NelsonCreston, in spite of being one of the best food growing areas in B.C., produces only three per cent of the food we eat. That is both scary and unnecessary. Greens want to help existing and aspiring farmers by promoting policies that will make farming a viable living. Young farmers need access to affordable agricultural land, education and start-up capital. Regional food self-reliance can be promoted by establishing partnerships among all levels of government, farmers, the food processing industry and community groups. Schools and hospitals need to serve locally grown and produced foods. We will support local government to draft bylaws that support “backyard” food production, community and shared food gardens, as well as urban agriculture. The Agricultural Land Reserve should be used as a tool for expanding food production to meet the goal of 85 per cent food self-sufficiency. Greens support seed saving, genetic diversity of food crops and B.C. as a genetically modified organism-free agricultural zone.

How do you plan to support local food systems?

Local food systems are the lifeline of our region and need to be supported in ways that not only drive localized consumption but improve ways for small and mid-sized operators to become sustainable in surrounding markets. We must improve access to educational support and financing allowing opportunities for ingenuities in finding niche segments to help offset the inequity of small versus large scale production facilities. Advantages such as “organic” and “pure” products allow for smaller-scale farms to produce locally grown environmentally conscious products within their mid-ranged region competitively. We must work with the individual operators to be able to understand and support these initiatives, and as their representative, that is what I plan to do.

How do you plan to support local food systems?

The NDP platform on agriculture is built around a local focus.

Many of the ideas discussed at my community forums in Creston and my report, Kootenay Lake Regional Food Systems, have directly influenced the platform.

Grow BC •Renew the Agricultural Land Commission and protect the Agricultural Land Reserve; and •Help orchardists with replanting and other input costs, and provide more direct support to organic and conventional farmers through enhanced extension and field services for marketing and operations.

Feed BC •Help create a stable market for local growers through pilot programs to promote purchases of B.C. produce by B.C.’s hospitals and long-term care facilities. This measure will also improve diets and health outcomes.

Buy BC •Strengthen support for the Buy BC marketing program for B.C. agricultural products; and •Improve access to markets for B.C.’s award-winning craft distillery industry by reducing the Liquor Distribution Branch markup, and by allowing direct sales to restaurants and bars, and on-site.

Liberal Party

How will you address the B.C. school districts’ funding shortfall?

The challenge for our education system is to provide quality education for our students in a cost-effective manner. There clearly are problems with funding for education, but just throwing more money at it may not be the answer.

Governments and school boards need to work together to develop local community schools that integrate community centres, recreation facilities and libraries. School principals, teachers and parents need to have more direct say in their local schools.

Independent and alternative schools should be integrated into the public school system, without affecting their autonomy and objectives. Parents and students need a wide range of options for their diverse learning needs and want fair funding for all students.

User fees for basic school services should be prohibited. Corporate funding has no place in our schools. In the long term, public education should be free at every level.

How will you address the B.C. school districts’ funding shortfall?

The BC Education Plan introduced by the Liberal government has been very positively received by the administrators of education in our region, due to the fact that education and educators are adapting to the changing environment of technology. Flexible learning and personalized programs allow the opportunity for students and teachers to provide individual education plans with greater efficiency and streamlined costs. With both students and teachers having the ability to adapt to the fastpaced and ever-changing technology improvements, they are allowing the students be the center of their education, with flexibility and choice on how they learn.

Although funding is static, the main issue of our region is not the funds but the declining enrolment.

Having spoken to an administrator at one of our schools recently, they expect enrollment to be down another six per cent next year. The funding formula is based upon a per student amount that has been getting reduced overall by a reduced number of families with school-aged children having the ability to find employment in our region.

The BC Jobs Plan is addressing the employment issues provincially; however, we will need to be working hard in our region to reverse the trend that we are encountering specifically to the higher than provincial unemployment rates in our riding, which is one of my main focuses if I am elected your representative.

How will you support seniors and youth advocacy?

The growing number of seniors is as varied as any other group in our society. To speak of them as a homogenous unit is to do them a disservice. They are a largely untapped source of experience and knowledge who want and need more opportunities to contribute, but they also are a growing group who often need help to access social and health care services. Home care for ailing seniors needs to be expanded and improved to ensure they can lead lives with dignity in their own homes for as long as possible. Greens want to expand the role of the provincial seniors advocate to ensure provincial legislation considers their interests and to ensure seniors have a direct line to government.

We need improved early education programs and affordable daycare for working parents.

See DERKX, page 16

How will you support seniors and youth advocacy?

The most common issue between seniors and youth in our region is affordable housing. We must work towards solutions for seniors to be able to access a variety of levels of age-related assisted living communities so that there is an opportunity for the variety of needs to be accommodated. Similarly, youth are in a situation that unless we can provide high-paying jobs for our young people and young families, we will not be able to retain them from other regions that have heated labor markets. So we must provide for a combination of more employment and affordable, sustainable living spaces, of which I plan on making both a priority as your representative. Without a vibrant young demographic component to a community, the support for our social systems becomes unsupported and communities regress.

New Democratic Party

How will you address the B.C. school districts’ funding shortfall?

While elected school boards will continue to manage their budgets and be responsible to those who elected them, it is essential that the provincial government prioritize education in its budgets. The NDP has committed an additional $100 million into kindergarten-Grade 12 classrooms. This additional funding will be used to hire more teachers and teachers’ assistants, and improve special education.

How will you support seniors and youth advocacy?

When putting people first, it is imperative to target specific programs for both seniors and young people.

One of the key priorities of an NDP government is to improve care for B.C. seniors, including better health care, better home care and creating an independent seniors advocate.

A major concern facing young people is access to the training and skills they need for today’s jobs. The NDP would establish financial needs-based grants to improve access to post-secondary education and reduce crippling student debt. We have also laid out a plan to address child poverty and a made-in-B.C. approach to protecting our environment so that young people have a positive future.

Do you support continued provincial funding for public library systems?

In a word, yes. As a library user, I know that libraries are community hubs and are essential to promoting literacy in our society. To be sure, my NDP colleagues and I recognize the vital role libraries play in our province.

Second campaign is different, says Mungall

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall says she has learned a lot in her four years representing her constituents.

“We have had quite a few achievements,” she said. “It shows what can happen when an MLA is working with the community.”

Her fondest memories include “keeping the Glacier and Hauser Creeks running free.” The West Kootenay creeks were targeted for controversial independent power projects, an overall approach that has saddled British Columbians with highcost power purchase agreements with private developers.

“These projects serve to make small hydro companies richer, concentrating the wealth from our resources in fewer hands,” she said. “But it was really an environmental fight — we need to protect our waterways.”

The power projects were among her first battles as a rookie MLA and they were indications “that we weren’t being heard by the Liberal government,” Mungall said. “It took over four years, but we won a big battle — I am so glad

to be an MLA that helped facilitate that.”

Housing is an important issue throughout the Kootenays and she has been a supporter of a local project that would see construction of an affordable family housing complex adjacent to Millennium Park. She points to Nelson’s Anderson Gardens, a 33-unit affordable housing project in Nelson, as a success in her riding.

On Kootenay Lake, Mungall said she fought successfully to help insure doctors maintain their priority ferry boarding status, and in Creston she worked with the Community Resource Centre to fend off threatened cuts to the Children Who Witness Violence program.

Lack of consultation by the Liberal government is evident in the way the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area has been handled, she said.

“We all know the CVWMA has been neglected by this government,” she said. “A government cannot move the CVWMA forward without working with the local community. It is integral to the process to include people with the strongest vested interest.”

During the campaign, in which she

and her support team have knocked on hundreds of doors, Mungall said education, environment and health care issues are the big three concerns of NelsonCreston residents.

“I also did Facebook polling and those three were consistently among the top concerns — it has been the same for the last four years. …

“You can’t separate the economy from environmental issues,” she said, pointing to the proposed development of Jumbo Glacier Resort.”

An NDP government, she said, would work to get rid of the area’s municipality status.

Increasing home support for seniors and people with disabilities “is a huge issue”, she said.

“We have identified the costs and shown how we will pay for it — we are completely up front about that,” she said.

In her first run at provincial politics, Mungall proved she was a savvy campaigner, handily defeating a wellknown Liberal candidate. Campaigning as an incumbent has its advantages, though.

“In the last election people were just getting to know me,” Mungall

attendees to realize they can make wine purchases at the event.

“The continued success in attracting wineries is making sure they get sales — it’s sales that justify them coming.”

Of course, for Creston Valley Rotary Club members, the effort they put into making the evening a success also comes with a reward. Recently, the club has been netting about $5,000 for its months of planning and one evening as hosts.

Recent projects using the funds have included a new bird-watching tower at the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area and a water playground and outdoor gym at Centennial Park.

Tickets for WineArt are $45 and include wine samples and food by Delectable Delights. They are available at Black Bear Books and Kingfisher Used Books, Ron Toyota or any Rotarian, or at the Creston Valley Advance.

As I wandered around the room at last week’s third annual Lower Kootenay Band open house I couldn’t help but think that there was a different feeling at the event than at last year’s.

Everyone, hosts and guests alike, seemed more relaxed.

Persistence is a good quality among those who want to make change. It’s too easy to try something, not get the results hoped for and then move on, or give up altogether. Since taking the chief’s position a couple of years ago, though, Jason Louie has worked tirelessly with chief operating officer Linda Berg and an administrative team that knows that a community of 200 simply can’t work in isolation.

The open house is a good way to show others in the Creston Valley, as well as representatives from US Customs and Border Protection, what is happening in Lower Kootenay. And the mix of organizations at the table I sat at was evidence of the genuine and growing sense that we have much to gain by co-operation. I sat with people from College of the Rockies, Kootenay Employment Services, Columbia Basin Trust, Ministry of Transportation and Creston Museum.

Around the community hall were displays of the various Lower Kootenay services, and photos of the past year’s events. A drum circle added to the festivities and the traditional lunch table promised guests wouldn’t leave hungry.

Louie is growing increasingly comfortable in his role as chief and his opening welcome showed his quick sense of humour, as well as a deep commitment to the betterment of his community. He and Berg

This is the Life

How much is enough?

In the retreats at Creston zendo, mealtimes are an essential aspect of spiritual training. The mealtime ceremony is called oryoki, which means “just enough”. Oryoki bowls are small — the largest contains only one-and-a-half cups.

The size of the bowls is our first reminder to eat just enough to remain healthy, alert and strong.

“Just enough” changes with circumstance and to know how much is enough requires mindfulness. We have to be aware of changing conditions. Did we work hard outside before the meal, or did we sit at a table and catalogue library books? What’s the weather like? If it’s cold we need more calories to stay warm; if it’s hot we need less.

Considering matters such as these, we decide how much food to put into our bowls. Zen masters recommend that we eat until we are two-thirds full. A Japanese proverb says that eight parts of a full stomach sustain the person; the other two parts sustain the doctor.

Before eating, we chant five thoughts. The first thought tells us to reflect on how the food got into our bowls. We generate gratitude for the

sun, water and soil that nourished the seed, and the people who tended, picked, transported and prepared the meal. The second thought considers whether the life that the food will

sustain has been used to benefit others. The third thought reminds us to be on guard against the arousal of greed. The fourth thought tells us that the main purpose for eating is to promote and sustain health, and the fifth asks us to remember that the primary purpose of human life is to realize enlightenment. Having directed our minds to these considerations, we begin our silent meal, mindful of the textures and tastes of the food as we chew and swallow.

An important aspect of mindful eating is to be fully aware when the meal is over. In our culture, we don’t have sayings that tell us the meal is

over. We tend to sit at the table chatting and nibbling long after we eaten enough. In mindful eating, we avoid this mistake by reciting a meal closing verse. We remind ourselves of where we actually are: “The universe is as the boundless sky.” We remember that we have the capacity for enlightenment in the messiness of daily life: “As lotus blossoms above muddy waters, pure and beyond the world is the mind of the trainee.” And then we root ourselves in loving-kindness before returning to the work of the day: “Oh, sweet compassion! We take refuge in thee.” Then we leave the table and put away the food.

Suggested practice: Before you eat, look at the food and assess how much you need to be two-thirds full.

Reflect: “I am eating this food for the good health of my body.” If your plate has been filled by another, remember that you are not a child.

No one can make you clean your plate. Stop eating when you’ve had “just enough”.

Green votes will re-elect Liberals To the Editor: I am not sure which analogy fits the Green Party best: the religious zealot who believes his/her particular faith is the only way to salvation or petulant child who when offered one cookie stomps away with nothing because they feel they deserve two cookies.

That is what the Green Party is doing by splitting the progressive vote.

They will help elect a Liberal government, which will give them not one but two pipelines, fracking, the Site C dam, more genetically modified crop approvals, a ski resort on the Jumbo Glacier with a $2 billion road to it and more. The NDP will give them most of what they seek, but not all.

What the Green Party needs to realize is when you seek an all or nothing solutions most often you end up with nothing!

New direction a bad one for CVWMA To the Editor: At the recent all MLA candidates forum in Creston, I raised concerns about the current provincial government’s direction regarding the future of the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area (CVWMA). My first concern is the dismantling of the current model of managing the area, which has served well to attain the CVWMA’s objectives for over 40 years.

My second concern is the failure of the government to provide any opportunity for public input into their decision or provide any rationale for their decision.

I believe there are some ways the current operational model for the CVWMA can be improved but they certainly don’t require the extreme changes the government is pursuing.

The government is planning to eliminate the Creston Valley Wildlife Act, which is the strongest legislation in B.C. to protect a wildlife management area. Converting the area into simply another wildlife area under the BC Wildlife Act makes it far less secure from political manipulation than its current status. In so doing, the government also intends to eliminate the three-member Creston Valley Wildlife Management Authority and get rid of the public representative and Canadian Wildlife Service representative’s involvement in the area. Thus the most effective avenue for having public input into the operation and management of the CVWMA will be lost. So will the influence of the Canadian Wildlife Service, which has the respon-

sibility to oversee the management of all waterfowl in Canada under the Migratory Birds Convention Act. The government is also planning to close the Wildlife Interpretation Centre and its programs unless it can find a private organization to take it over.

This facility is vital to serving the educational objectives of the CVWMA, as well as serving the public and tourist interests in the area. One positive move the government is making is fostering greater involvement of Ducks Unlimited Canada in the operation of the CVWMA. This organization, in my view, is one of the finest wildlife conservation organizations in Canada and it has played a vital support role to the CVWMA since its inception. But its board of directors has decided they will not be involved in the operation of wildlife interpretation centres in Canada. However, I applaud its commitment to put more funding into the upkeep and maintenance of the water control structures on the CVWMA, which it previously constructed.

I have been in contact with an increasing number of citizens in the Kootenays who share my concerns about what is happening with the CVWMA. Though they recognize there are ways to improve the current operational model of the CVWMA, they also believe the advice they can offer the government in this regard will result in a much better future for the CVWMA than what is currently being pursued.

For this reason and, on behalf of all of them, I have asked the minister responsible for the CVWMA and all of the MLA candidates for Nelson-Creston to support putting a hold on any further government action regarding the CVWMA’s future until a meaningful opportunity has been provided to Kootenay area citizens to make input on this matter.

No Liberal candidate at PCSS forum To the Editor: I would like to thank Sjeng Derkx from the Green Party and Michelle Mungall from the New Democratic Party for attending the all-candidates forum held for senior students at Prince Charles Secondary School on April 24.

The forum was held only five hours before the community forum and at the same venue. This event has been a tradition at our school and on the seven occasions that I have helped organize this forum, there have only been two candidates who have not attended or at least sent a representative.

It is unfortunate that the Liberal candidate, Greg Garbula, chose not to attend, answer questions and speak with the youth of our community at this event, even after receiving a personal invitation and having one delivered to his local constituency office.

I would like Mr. Garbula to explain to the youth of our community exactly

what he thinks the job of MLA is if not to respond to the concerns of the community, including the youth and young voters?

Liberals will keep taxes, costs down To the Editor: The recipe for economic disaster would be to vote for a party or a person who promised an extra $100 million here and there and everywhere, or a party that promised to put tax back on corporations (the Liberals lowered it from nine per cent to two per cent).

This would result in corporations leaving (like last time) and more unemployment, and maybe 10,000 people having to leave B.C. again. The rest of us will have to pay more taxes plus increased taxes on businesses will be added to the products they sell. Taxes and the cost of living will increase.

We may not have a Gordon Campbell to save us four years from now. Christy Clark just reinvented herself and wants to balance the budget instead of Dix putting more debts on our children. It’s your choice. Pick your reality.

John Jorgensen Creston

Promotion for forum was lacking To the Editor: (Re: “Election candidates’ forum attracts sparse crowd”, May 2 Advance) The question/comment that I had for the candidates was misrepresented in the Advance. Mr. Eckersley wrote this about my question/comment, “Proximity to the U.S. border makes it difficult for Canadian businesses to compete.” I had to leave early because I was ill, so my question was written out, and maybe it was not read correctly, but I doubt it because of the fact that it was written out and I had the moderator check it. I do not have a copy of the question, since I wrote it on a piece of paper at the forum. But it went something like, “Being we are in such close proximity to the United States, how can Creston ‘increase’ trade with the United States and help boost the Creston economy?”

Just another thought on the sparseness of the crowd — this forum was not well advertised. I found out about it via a personal email someone sent me. I know I got inquiries about it after the fact because people did not know it was going on, and they wish they would have known so they could have attended.

The art of trying

“If you have nothing to lose by trying and everything to gain if successful, then by all means try,” is a North American truism. We love to try!

them. Politicians try to run countries. Monarchies try to rule kingdoms and then some of us just try to get by.

We try to pay our bills, and try to makes ends meet. Some of us try to burn the candle at both ends and then some of us will try just about anything (at least they try to convince you of that).

We try to put our best foot forward. We try to look good, and we try to do good. We try to understand the bad things that happen or the people who make bad things happen.

Through religion, people try to understand God. Through science, we try to understand existence.

We try to do what is right and we try to do what is best.

We try to know which is which. There are things that try our patience (people too).

Then there are things that, even though we try, we have a hard time accepting or understanding.

Try as we might, they boggle our minds.

My March column was “The Art of Acceptance”, and in it I spoke about my sister and I having to accept the inevitability of losing our war with MS. I missed my April submission because I was away trying to get some answers. Now I am trying to stay hopeful that the relapse of MS I’m experiencing will go into remission with no residual effects and trying to prepare for what comes next if it does not.

I’m trying to rest. I’m trying to make things easy to manage. I’m trying to tell myself I’ve come back before and I can come back

A Cultural Perspective Lori Wikdahl

We try new looks, new jobs, new partners. Then there are new places and spaces. We try new sights and sounds. Not a day goes by when we are not trying!

We try to be honest and forthcoming. We try to be kind and understanding. We try to be fair. If you have a partner, you try to make them happy. If you have children, you try to give them the best of everything. If you are a child, you try to live up to the expectations of your parents. You try not to disappoint them.

As individuals, we try to be successful, whether personal or professional. Some of us measure success by what we try. Tyrants try to control everything around

again. I’m trying not to get discouraged and spend a lot of time trying to find the humour that must be there somewhere even if it’s dark. I’m trying my hardest to make the best of a bad situation.

I’m trying to hold off on making any major decisions, life-wise — trying to ride this wave of life safely back to shore.

These days, though, when it comes to trying, what I’m really having a hard time trying to wrap my head around is the terminal cancer my sister was diagnosed with in April while I was down at the MS clinic. I can’t even begin to try to understand what my sister is feeling. Trying to come to terms with perhaps six to nine months is not something anyone wants to try to come to terms with.

“Death is really fine, but dying…” is one of my favorite e.e. cummings poems but until now I never really understood the depth of the emotion behind the statement.

I am also trying to imagine what if: My sister’s slow decline over the past several months — her pain, fatigue and weakness — was assumed to be MS. Once you are chronically ill you try to deal with symptoms all the time. What if she didn’t have MS? I’m trying not to think about that. I’m trying not to think about losing my sister. I wonder about her children losing their mother, her husband losing his wife. I’m trying to figure out why after 18 years of fighting MS my sister is going to lose her life to lung cancer.

I’m trying not to scream. I’m trying to keep it together. I’m trying to laugh at the irony of my sister quitting smoking nine years ago. I’m trying to tell myself a lot of things.

I’m trying to be strong. But these days mostly I’m just trying to master fear.

Humanity, where art thou?

If you asked me in the past what bothered me the most, one of the answers would be, “The ignorance of masses, arrogance of puppet masters, servitude of politicians.”

Going, going, gone and forgotten, almost

As I stand gazing at remains of old mine buildings and other structures, I think of all the energy, sweat and even tears that have been poured into dreams, prospecting, old digs and mines over the last 150

erected at some remote wilderness spot, and if they are legible, they might reveal New Brunswick, Nova Scotia or Prince Edward Island origins.

The Columbia-Kootenay mountain region is laced with trails, many grown over, that trace back to prospecting and mining days. Some of the pack trails were constructed with government money. They scaled descended Ed McMackin and mountain passes between Kootenay Lake and Marysyears. Dreams of striking it ville. The forest landscape is rich, of being able to send pocked with digs, shallow holes money back home or to a to check out the rocks. sweetheart or even just being When I came to this fair land able to make a living fired the and wandered its forest glades, very young, the middle-aged I ran across shallow holes and even the young at heart to beside rounded piles of dirt leave families, jobs, friends and and rock that even supported a familiar surroundings in pur- tree or two. I wondered what suit of sometimes wild dreams. prospector stopped by here to One father, slipping a silver check out the rocks. Gradually I dollar into the son’s hand said found out that, actually, many goodbye, never hearing from of these shallow depressions him again. Perhaps he never were natural, caused by an made it to California, or to uprooted tree. When the tree Barkerville. If gravestones were fell, the root-bound soil and

rock came up too. The only evidence of a once stalwart tree is a hole and a pile of rock and dirt. Prospectors are long since gone, not around to see their digs filled in with forest litter and their piles of rock and dirt carpeted over with moss and plants.

Many prospectors left their lucrative dreams and prospects, and with their gleanings, if they had any, returned to their origins in the United States. Many who had once been involved in trapping and the fur trade took up prospecting and mining or combined the two. Others, when the fur trade and/or the metal market declined, took up pursuits including farming in more prosperous areas of the Pacific Northwest, which was once under the control of the Hudson’s Bay Trading Company (British). Their ancestry follows them in present day place names like LaClede, Coeur d’Alene, Touchet, French Town (historic site), Deschutes, La Pine, Chemult, Fremont, Ravalli and so on.

Much physical evidence of historic Kootenay mining activity has rusted and rotted away,

freeze to below –5 C. However, if it is grown too softly, it won’t take it. This phenomenon would have to do with the amount of water in the plant cells in relation to the “sugars”. Some plant cells, like those of the red osier dogwood, have an internal antifreeze in their stem cells, which allows them to go below –60 C without suffering any damage.

On the other hand, Davies cells of plants like marigolds and tomatoes suffer frost damage very easily. The water in their cells freezes. As it expands, the water molecules break the cell walls and rupture them.

That is why they turn black soon after. Water is one of the only substances that expands when it freezes. Like ice in an ice cube tray, it pops out of the mould. In any case, soft, fleshy plants don’t freeze well.

If you think of strictly belowzero weather causing damage to your crop you would be only looking at half the picture. A lot of our vegetables are actually from the south. Tropical plants

really don’t like temperatures below 13 C. It is the same as if you just froze a more traditional northern European vegetable. We call it a chilling injury.

Have you ever put a cucumber in the fridge only to find it gone mushy? Fridge temperatures run around 4 C. Commercially, a cuke would be stored at a minimum 8 C to avoid a chilling injury. In the past few years, many folks have had to replant their cucumber plants because they just sat in the cold soil and rotted. This year, we seem to be having warmer and drier weather than spring 2011 and 2012.

One other note to mention about water and freezing: When a hard frost is forecast, I run frost protection in the nursery. This consists of sprinkling the plants with water through the early morning. As water freezes, it gives off heat to the plant’s cells underneath. As long as you keep adding more water to freeze, the exothermic reaction continues and it keeps the plant cells from getting frozen by the ice on their surface.

It works well to –3 C. Then, not so well.

Although mine sites today are owned by someone, humans for the most part have left the properties to wilderness takeover. Well-beaten paths between piles of rotten and weathered wood and metal, dilapidated buildings, adits and collapsed mine portals are evidence that these sites are still well populated, inhab-

Veggies can’t handle frost MICHELLE

It is spring! When the sun is shining, there are a lot of folks looking to get a jump-start on their veggie garden. Here in Erickson, we just had a good hard frost the other night. I expect we’ll have another light frost at some point again.

Nursery Notes Evan A lot of areas have their own microclimate. By that I’m not talking about climate zone 5b or 6, which simply measures the coldest winter temperatures recorded in more recent years.

I’m talking about the way the cold air flows around the valley in the evening. Cold air drains down the mountainside almost flowing like water through lowlying areas first. Higher ground and areas sheltered by buildings seems to be safer places to start an early garden.

Some plants can take the cold better than others. Lettuce, if properly hardened off, can

T. Lane Design brings new life to old jewelry

H

er jewelry is inspired by a variety of sources — the beauty of the Kootenays, First Nations, a trip to Mexico — but for Tessa Park, its creation is about something deeper. When she designs a new piece, she takes something from the past and gives it a new life.

“To women, jewelry is mostly sentimental — it was either given as a gift or inherited from your grandmother,” said the T. Lane Designs Jewelry owner.

Despite a strong emotional attachment, the pieces may not be in fashion — and that’s where Park comes in. She will take the old piece apart and turn it into something modern.

“You can use a little piece and keep the sentimentality without that old outdated piece,” she said.

Park, a custom clothing designer, began making jewelry about three years ago. The Prince Charles Secondary School graduate has lived in Creston on and off since her parents moved to the valley 12 years ago, and was living on Vancouver Island when she decided to downsize and spend a few months camping with her family.

That meant clothing and jewelry had to go, but the decision wasn’t easy — so she ended up taking some of her favourite jewelry apart and making it into three new pieces. A dress client saw the jewelry and loved it, so Park made more, and the client and her friends quickly snapped it up.

Park recently showed off 56 pieces of her jewelry line A Brilliant Hue to a Creston audience when she held a fashion show at Millennium Park, partnering with other businesses, such as Lectric Ave. Electronics, the Snoring Sasquatch, Creative Fix (where her jewelry is sold) and Red Circle Kitchen.

Jessica Bilcik of Mane and Nails styled the eight models’ hair.

“I never could have done this on my own, and wouldn't have wanted to,” Park said. “It was so wonderful to see the excitement and willingness of everyone to give of themselves and their businesses to make this event happen.”

A lot of behind-the-scenes assistance was also provided by the Teen Action Committee.

“The Teen Action Committee’s involvement was important to me because I want to show young people that fashion can be about having fun and

being confident, rather than following trends and buying brand names,” Park said.

Although her focus recently has been on jewelry, Park has spent most of her adult life in clothing design, a career that was always in her sights — she could often be found sketching clothing designs and dressing others.

“The very first time I got asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said, ‘A fashion designer,’ ” she recalled.

There were no home ec classes in high school, so as Park neared graduation and her post-secondary design course loomed on the horizon, she started taking private sewing lessons.

“I literally had only ten classes before I went to start the course,” she said.

It was testament to Park’s passion for the art that she kept going once she started the course in Edmonton.

“I was not only learning the profession, I was learning the basics,” she said.

“You need to learn to sew to make something.”

It was her first time in a big city, which she found to be an incredibly creative one—in the long Edmonton winters, there is little to do but sit indoors and, well, create.

Just prior to her graduation in 2007, she and her classmates participated in the annual Edmonton Fashion Week, with their fashions displayed on the runway. The event filled her with mixed emotions.

“That was one of my dreams come true,” she said. “I was so scared, but it was also such a relief. We’d been working toward this the whole year.”

Park plans to return to the clothing side of her business, but for now, she’s enjoying the jewelry side, particularly the principles behind the process — every piece is handmade from recycled, sustainable and natural materials.

And the fact that customers love it doesn’t hurt, either.

“You just take this piece that people don’t want anymore and turn it into something people do want,” she said.

“That helps me keep it new and fresh and enjoyable. I’m never going to get tired of making things new and wearable for people.”

Mishras bring North Indian music to ashram YASODHARA ASHRAM

Submitted

The Mishras will perform at the Yasodhara Ashram on May 11.

The Yasodhara Ashram celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, and throughout 2013, the ashram is inviting professional musicians and dancers to perform.

On May 11 at 7 p.m., the Mishras return to the Temple of Divine Light.

Three generations of master musicians from Benares, an ancient spiritual centre of traditional music and Indian culture, will be offering classical North Indian ragas and meditative music in a sitar and tabla concert.

“Incorporation of this style with the jugalbandi presentation, in which there are two solo artists sharing the stage, has created a unique synthesis of classical and folk that appeals to audiences everywhere,” said the Mishras’ web-

Museum seeking items for ‘women’s hall of fame’ CRESTON MUSEUM

The Creston Museum has nearly completed a brand-new exhibit that looks at the changing role of women in the community.

One section showcases the roles of pioneer women.

Typically thought of as mothers and homemakers, these courageous ladies were also essential farm workers and very active community-builders.

Another section explores the role of the modern woman: busy working mothers, juggling the demands of full-time jobs with raising a family.

There’s also a section that looks at women in the 1950s, that pivotal decade when the number of married women working outside of the home almost doubled, even though many women worried that they were shortchanging their hus-

Two of the photographs already in the “hall of fame” show Lela Irvine, Creston's first woman mayor, and Charlotte Basil of the Lower Kootenay Band, who played a very important role in preserving the knowledge of the traditional Ktunaxa canoe.

bands and children by doing so.

One section of the exhibit is still nearly empty, though.

It’s what museum manager Tammy Hardwick has started thinking of, unofficially, as the

“Creston Valley Women’s Hall of Fame.”

“This is the section where we want to recognize the women who have made, or are making, a difference in the community,” said Hardwick, “and we’re hoping members of the community will help us build it.”

The museum invites people to contribute items that represent a woman whose contribution to the Creston Valley deserves to be recognized. Possible items include photographs, objects (as long as they fit on the shelves of the exhibit) or documents, such as newspaper clippings or certificates. Hardwick reminds people that this is a permanent exhibit, so these should be items that people are willing to donate to the museum, or copies of photos or documents if the families wish to keep the originals.

Each item will be labelled with the name of the woman it repre-

sents, the name of her nominator, and a short statement of her role.

“We’re looking for women who have made, or are making a difference, in all sorts of ways, large or small, from personal to professional,” said Hardwick.

“Most of all, we’re looking for women who make a difference in ways that often go unnoticed and uncelebrated.”

Already in the hall of fame are the silver tray that was presented to World Wheat Queen Aimee Kelsey of Erickson, a photo of Creston's first resident nurse and quintessential working mother Ellen Ida Knox Henderson, and a photo of Sarah Ryckman in the first commercial greenhouse in Creston, which she owned and operated.

To contribute an item to the hall of fame or for more information, contact the Creston Museum at 250-428-9262 or mail@creston. museum.bc.ca.

(NC)— Heart disease and stroke is a leading cause of death for women in Canada, but most don’t know it. The good news is that women can reduce their risk by as much as 80 per cent by making lifestyle changes, says the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

This Mother’s Day, here’s what mom can do to put herself first and protect her heart to make health last: • Stay tobacco free or quit smoking—while smoking is an addiction and quitting may be difficult, with help and a plan, it may become easier.

• Exercising: a minimum of three sessions of weight-bearing exercise plus 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous-intensity aerobic activity – in minimum of 10-minute increments – each week.

• Eating right: Seven to eight servings of vegetables and fruit each day, plus limited consumption of sodium and saturated and trans fats, , puts women on the right track.

• Reduce stress by taking the time to relax, unwind and enjoy simple pleasures.

I believe that the provincial government has a responsibility to ensure that a base funding is available across the province so that the municipalities have the ability to provide a strong library presence in their area regardless of size, as your local library will afford a social thread and harbour for all members of a civilized society.

New Duck Lake access at Sirdar proposed

An illustration showing the proposed Duck Lake access.

CRESTON VALLEY WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA

Submitted

On March 27, two members of the Creston Valley Rod and Gun Club met with representatives from Ducks Unlimited Canada and the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area to explore the idea of improving anglers’ access to Duck Lake via the Sirdar access, directly across from the Sirdar Pub. The objective of the proposal is to build a single lane vehicle access road from the existing parking lot down to the water’s edge to allow anglers easier boat access.

People would have the ability to drive their vehicles down, unload their boats, but be required to park in the designated parking area.

Currently, only permitted boat storage is allowed at the point.

Users not wanting to store their boats at that location need to unload their vessels at the parking lot and drag them down a fairly steep hill; going down is one thing, but coming back up offers challenges.

This new road would

also provide safer foot access for ice-fishing enthusiasts during the winter months. The lane would be closed to vehicles in the winter.

The proposed access road, to be gravel, would be approximately 230 meters in length and four to five metres wide. To ensure minimum impact to sensitive species, an environmental

assessment is being conducted at the site. The road location was selected to minimize the grade and amount of vegetation disturbance during construction.

The proposed completion date is October 2013.

From page 1 Sophia said she first learned about the educational camp when she got an email from her vice-principal at Homelinks.

“I had to write about why I would be a good candidate,” she said.

That was in February and in April she got an email that she had been shortlisted for an interview. For her interview in Nelson she created a PowerPoint presentation about how globalization can help break down stereotypes.

“By the time I got home to Creston I had an email waiting that said I had been selected to go,” she said.

“I want to go to film school when I graduate, so this will be a great asset on my resumé,” she said.

To help prepare for the trip, she plans to take a digital photography course at College of the Rockies.

Students leave for Beijing on July 12, with a flight change in Tokyo on the way. They return on July 21.

Tours to a number of Chinese historical and cultural sites are scheduled, including a visit to the Great Wall of China.

“I am fascinated with Chinese culture and it’s one of the world’s oldest civilizations, so this is a great educational opportunity,” Sophia said.

Sophia said she will raise the requisite $2,000 with the help of her mother, Deborah, and her classmates, who are helping out with a car wash that will be held on May 11 at Classic Glass.

Town hall raises flag for MS awareness

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

When Mayor Ron Toyota met with three representatives of the fight against multiple sclerosis at town hall last week, the message was clear — MS is a disease that affects countless individuals and their families in our community.

Toyota posed for a photo, a Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada flag waving in the background, with two local residents who work tirelessly in the hope that the disease they carry will someday be cured.

“Every day, Canadians affected by MS struggle to obtain or keep the home care supports they need,” said Debbie Irwin, an MSSC development services co-ordinator. “The 1 Day in May campaign gives Canadians the opportunity to help people with MS improve their lives and create awareness about the need for increased access to home care.”

Irwin said that MSSC is seeing Canadians with MS, disabilities and other chronic illnesses falling between the cracks, many affected by recent program cuts to homecare services. Those reductions, she said, have a dramatic and negative impact on the lives of people living with MS. The society promotes the belief that people living with MS need sufficient supports to allow them to live at home with their families as long as possible.

“People need to know that they can make a difference in the life of a person affected with MS,” said Ken Chubb, a retired social worker who is a member of the Creston MS self-help group. “The 1 Day in May campaign is our effort

to increase awareness about the daily lives of people with MS. By raising awareness of this unpredictable disease, we are letting people know they can affect change in the life of someone with MS.” The Town of Creston supports the campaign by proclaiming May as MS Awareness Month and by flying the MS flag at Creston Town Hall throughout the month, Toyota said.

Irwin said there are many ways Creston residents can show their support for people with MS: •send an email message to candidates running in the provincial election. An online tool to help do that can be found at mssociety.ca/bc; •register at mssociety.ca for a MS Research webinar on May 15, 3-5 p.m. local time; •read stories of people with MS posted on 1DayinMay.ca; •contact the local MS self-help group to find out how to get involved locally; •understand the issues affecting people with MS and their families; •Read and share the latest issue of MS Canada on mssociety.ca; •Tweet #1dayinMay about how you’re spreading awareness of MS; •Join the Instagram photo challenge and post what #1dayinMay means to you; or •Visit 1DayinMay.ca or contact your local MS Society to learn more about how you can take part in 1 Day in May actions.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and often disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord. It is the most common neurologic disease of young adults in Canada.
