Heavy rains caused a washout on Highway 3A near Sirdar last week. Crews have been working at the scene since but traffic remains restricted to one lane until further notice.

TODAY'S WEATHER

About 270 Creston Valley elementary school students were bused to Yaqan Nukiy on Friday to participate in Aboriginal Hertitage Day activities. Here, students joined the Lower Kootenay Band drummers to pound out a beat that filled the room.

With some residents measuring more than three inches of rain last week, damage was inevitable. But it seems like the Creston Valley got lucky, at least compared to areas to the north and east. Work continues on repairs to the Highway 3A washout (above) near Sirdar and in Wynndel, where a stretch of railway bed was eroded, leaving train tracks hanging without support (photo on Page 22). In the Crestglen Mobile Home Park, a portion of bank slid toward homes, but none were damaged.
