RDCK requests withdrawal of AAP

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

TODAY'S WEATHER

The Advance learned at press deadline that local Regional District of Central Kootenay directors are requesting that the board withdraw the current alternate approval process to fund PAWS through taxation.

“We need to do a better job of communicating the need to taxpayers, so we are filing a request to the RDCK board to kill the current alternate approval process,” Area C director Larry Binks, chair of the local services committee, said on Tuesday. “We will bring back a proposal when we are better prepared. The taxation was not a request of PAWS and the organization should not be taking the heat for our failure to help people understand why the funding plan was brought forward.”

With controversy swirling about the Regional District of Central Kootenay proposal to support the Creston Pet Adoption and Welfare Society through property taxes, Pet Adoption and Welfare Society president Carol Freeman-Ryll outlined the program.

With about $8,000 a month needed to operate the shelter on Lower Wynndel Road, Freeman-Ryll said it is important for the public to know that PAWS is operated entirely by volunteers.

“Our overnight security person is paid wages equivalent to the amount of rent for the on-site cottage,” she said. “Those wages are in turn paid to PAWS in the form of rent.

Thus, there is no expenditure for wages.”

“Smaller than last year, but really good quality and very few culls,” she said. “And it looks like the prices weren’t too bad.”

Jenny and her husband Rick operate their own sorting and packing plant on

Erickson Road. This year they were among more than 30 B.C. cherry growers selected to participate in a pilot program that saw the fruit exported to China for the first time.

Creston’s Larry Ewashen (left) was a guest historical speaker in Saskatchewan at a recent federal plaque unveiling by the Historical Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. The plaque reads, in part, “This dugout house, built by Russian Doukhobor immigrants in 1899, is the only known surviving example of this form of temporary shelter in Canada. It recalls the hardships faced … upon their arrival on the Prairies and the practical solutions they adopted. …

This site is part of a landscape of farm buildings and archaeological remains that speaks to the evolution of Doukhobor communities on the Prairies.”

While in Creston on Aug. 8, ElectroRecycle Ambassadors Krisandra Reid (left) and Stephen Morgan (fourth from left) visited New Life Furniture and Recycling, run by the Kootenai Community Centre Society, where they threw a celebratory pizza party for the volunteer depot staff. ElectroRecycle, a notfor-profit province-wide recycling program that provides an alternative for a variety of electrical products, wanted to show its appreciation for the society’s dedication to the program and to reducing waste in Creston. To date, Creston residents have collected more than 12,554 kilograms of electrical products.

As well as volunteers, KCCS executive director Dina Bambrick (second from left) and New Life manager Amanda Cannon (sixth from left) were on hand for the celebration.

Cherries

From page 1 “It was a very arduous process, but I guess the Chinese want to protect their country from pests and diseases when they import food,” she said. “I hope that in the future they’ll trust the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to do its job, though.”

Faynors shipped only one small container to the Chinese market this year, something Jenny is content to describe as “a start”. Most of their crop went to other Asian markets — Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam — but Creston cherries also made their way into Europe and even Dubai.

The Creston Valley crop was smaller than it often is due to an early spring cold snap that hampered the fruit set. But favourable weather in the late spring and summer allowed the fruit to develop “beautifully”, she said.

“The cherries were firm and full of flavour,” she said.

Last year saw a number of cherry trees pulled out, with some growers giving up on the struggle to produce and harvest a crop that has fought a recent losing battle against larger competitors in Washington state and even Turkey. Low prices in the last few years left some growers reporting a net loss. Other growers increased their tree plantings, though, keeping about the same number of acres in cherries in Erickson and Canyon as in past years.

Under the export pilot program, Chinese inspectors had to personally approve every shipment from B.C. With a population of more than a billion, the Chinese market is well worth pursuing, Faynor admitted. But the paperwork and inspections created added demands for growers who are already accredited under GlobalGAP, an international program.

She said it’s too early to determine the financial success of the 2013 crop, as payment from international markets lags behind delivery.

“We’re farmers,” she smiled. “We don’t know how much we will be left with until we pay everyone else.”

PAWS

From page 1 In addition to providing security for the facility, the tenant does morning and evening chores.

The land was purchased with money raised through donations, fundraising and grants, and the building was constructed in the same way, she said. Land and buildings are owned outright by the society, with no money owed.

“Many people believe that we are funded by the government, the Town of Creston, the SPCA or ‘somebody’,” she said.

In fact, much of the volunteers’ time and energy goes into fundraising, an activity that burns out people whose primary interest is in working directly with animals in need of care.

“Most of the grants we receive are for capital projects,” Freeman-Ryll said. “Fundraising is becoming increasingly challenging as opportunities become increasingly limited.”

Binks said that PAWS provides a valuable service to local residents.

“Each year we get a report from these volunteers and it has become apparent that the struggle to raise operating funds is a huge challenge,” he said.

Local directors made the decision to put a small taxation proposal to the people in the form of an alternative approval process, used in the past because it is cheaper than spending about $20,000 for a referendum.

“PAWS is important to the community in many ways,” Binks said. “With a cost of only about $5-10 a year for the average property owner, the taxation seems like a reasonable approach to ensuring the service continues.”

Under the alternative approval process, if 10 per cent of the electors object to the taxation proposal in writing, the taxation cannot proceed without being approved by referendum. The alternative approval process would provide for up to $50,000 in tax dollars annually to PAWS, a total that could be increased with cost of living adjustments, Binks said.

As the designated animal care organization for local emergency social services, PAWS volunteer services are called for in emergencies or disasters, the floods of 2012, for instance.

“The idea of taxation for the service really started with last year’s spring freshet, when properties along the river were being flooded and we needed some place to provide for the animals,” Binks said. “We provided funds for them to add fencing and they provided a service that was badly needed at the time. By the time we worked through all the details and

got provincial government approval for the approval process summer was upon us — the timing was not intended to squeeze approval through without the public knowing.”

Freeman-Ryll summarized services provided by PAWS: •taking in strays, reuniting them with their owners or finding homes for unclaimed animals; •assisting owners that need to find new homes for their pets; •enabling high school students to perform volunteer hours required under education plans; •offering pet care and training assistance to pet owners; •provide dogs to be trained as helping service dogs; •welcoming members of the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors, who visit regularly to enjoy animal contact; •providing people with special needs with the opportunity to help with shelter chores, dog walking and “cat cuddling”; •providing free pet care, safety and education programs to school students and groups such as 4-H, cadets, scouts and guides; •participating in the local certified therapy program assisting special needs students one-on-one; •assisting the Kootenai Community Centre Society when its clients have pets requiring temporary care; •working with community outreach programs to provide opportunities for youths and adults that have been ordered to perform community service hours; •assisting the RCMP with incidents involving animals (death of owners, vehicle accidents, housefires, hospitalization of owners with pets, cruelty); •taking in homeless pets and finding them new homes; •working with the BC SPCA on local cruelty and abuse issues; •supporting the Seniors 4 Seniors program by matching older animals with seniors that don’t have the resources to adopt and care for animal; and •responding to nearly 4,000 telephone calls for help and information annually.

In 2012, PAWS took into care 96 dogs and 43 cats, not including animals that were returned directly to their owners because they were wearing PAWS identification tags. In the first six months of 2013, 65 dogs were taken into the shelter.

“PAWS has grown over the 17 years we have been operating,” Freeman-Ryll said. “We have become recognized as a valuable community resource in a wide variety of ways. We want to continue all these services to the community. But we can only continue to provide these services and be available for emergencies and disaster animal care with stable and sustainable funding.”

Dog park a step closer after council approves location

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Creston will soon have its own off-leash dog park, after town council approved a location presented at the Aug. 13 regular council meeting.

The option chosen is about 1,400 square metres (0.35 acres), an L-shaped area adjacent to the Steve’s Ride trailhead off Cedar Street. That space is big enough to create an environment suitable for many types of dogs and their owners, said engineering manager Colin Farynowski in a presentation to council.

“You should always consider the needs of the dogs themselves,” said Farynowski. “Some are very shy, others are rambunctious in nature. ... You’ve got a space you can have the Frisbeechasing German shepherd in one corner and the little Shih Tzu that may be sensitive in another.”

Two other downtown options presented to town council included the 801-square metre (0.2-acre) north portion of the approved option, and a 564-square metre (0.14-acre) chunk of that was the smallest. A fourth option was Shikurski Park, which lacks water and isn’t part of the town’s trail system.

A 45-metre long dog run, located across the trail and alongside the CP Rail tracks, may also join the off-leash area.

It would be five metres wide, and suitable for playing fetch.

The dog run isn’t guaranteed, though, because Rotary will be installing outdoor gym equipment in the middle of the Y formed by Steve’s Ride and the trail parallel to the train tracks, and it may spill onto the east side of the trail.

Coun. Scott Veitch, also the Creston Rotary Club president, felt that the gym plans wouldn’t interfere with the dog run.

“Rotary will agree with whatever,” said Veitch.

The cost of developing the area — fencing alone is $5,640 in the approved option — will include resurfacing, grading, adding drainage and separating it from the trail by means of landscaping. The latter doesn’t necessarily mean blocking the fence entirely with trees, as “changes in topography can reduce the need for spatial separation,” Farynowski’s presentation stated.

Town of Creston

Creston town council selected this location north of Cedar Street behind Millennium Park (top right) for the town’s new off-leash dog park, with a dog run located north of the off-leash park.

It will be covered by part of a $400,000 grant from the Ministry of Community, Sport, and Cultural Development’s community recreation program, awarded last year. That grant was about 80 per cent of funding for improvements made to Creston’s trails, with the town, and the Creston and Creston Valley Rotary clubs adding $80,000 to the project.

Regular trail users will soon notice the space being readied for its new use.

“This fall, we’ll prep the areas for the off-leash dog park and the gym equipment,” said Farynowski.

11th Avenue South will be paved next year, with the installation of benches and lighting slated for 2015.

After approving the dog park location, council also directed staff to ask the Community Ministry if the scope of the grant could be modified to allow some of the $178,500 portion dedicated to lighting to be used in another aspect related to the grant.

Rather than having lighting along the trails, council hoped that lighting could instead be installed only at the trailheads, and the dog and bike parks.

Staff had already spoken to the Creston RCMP, which expressed no concerns over having unlit trails.

Location boosts farmers’ market

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The new location behind the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce has proven to be an asset to the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market, manager Martha Boland told Creston town council in a presentation at the Aug. 13 regular meeting.

Vendor attendance is up 33 per cent over the Millennium Park location, and there has been a 70 per cent increase in vendors paying for the season. Some vendors are earning twice what they made in the previous location, due, it seems, to the market’s higher visibility.

“When people are coming from the ferry or summit, they can see the market right away,” a vendor said in a survey. “At Millennium Park, they might not even realize that there is a market. Especially the tourists.”

“I’m really noticing a lot of tourists coming through,” agreed Coun. Judy Gadicke, who runs a booth at the market.

The story isn’t the same for all vendors — just over half of those surveyed said they appreciate the new site, and one third said sales are lower there — but 70 per cent agreed that the proximity to downtown is beneficial.

Customers seem to agree, with 75 per cent of 900 surveyed saying they do additional local shopping when visiting the market.

“That obviously is a strong point we can work on, to maximize the exchange between downtown businesses and us,” said Boland.

The farmers’ market, operated by the Creston Valley Food Action Coalition, has completed a business plan, and goals include finding ways to cover operating expenses without grant funding, and developing comprehensive indicators to measure social, environmental and economic impacts — regarding the latter, it contributed $1.74 million to the Creston Valley economy in 2012.

Forty per cent of the vendors sell arts and crafts, while others sell produce (24 per cent), baking and prepared foods (15 per cent), and meat, dairy and other agriculture-related products (five per cent), with 16 per cent filling the “other” category.

With nearly 50 vendors onsite in the summer, the market is now classified with the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets as mediumsized, and has the longest season in the Kootenays, running May-September behind the chamber’s Northwest Boulevard building, and from October-December at Morris Flowers

The market’s summer location, on Town of Creston property, will look even better in the future, town manager Lou Varela said, with a landscaping team creating a plan

And the chamber of commerce will be doing its part, too, said Boland, with president Rob Schepers wanting to beautify and optimize the market and chamber’s shared space.

“It is really obvious he is committed to making this new site work,” said Boland.

As Angela and I made our way to Seattle a couple of weeks ago, we really had no idea exactly what we were in for. I refer not to our usual winery stops — which are inevitably a delight — but to the four nights in which we would settle into seats to watch Richard Wagner’s epic Der Ring des Nibelungen, now more commonly known as the Ring Cycle.

For more than 20 years we have taken in operas when the opportunity has arisen but in recent years our interest has developed into a passion, thanks in large part to New York’s Metropolitan Opera. The Met opened opera to the world several years ago when it began sending out live satellite telecasts of its Saturday matinees to theatres around the globe. We now plan our schedules to ensure we see every presentation we possibly can, driving to Trail, Coeur d’Alene, Spokane and Calgary, the nearest theatres that screen the presentations.

The Met Opera satellite experience has fuelled our interest in opera to the point that we have traveled to New York to see live productions and even timed a trip to Europe so that we could see shows in London and Paris. For me, opera is a connection to our cultural history, many having been first performed a century or more ago.

Watching popular operas like Carmen and Madame Butterfly is one thing, though, and taking in Wagner’s Ring Cycle is an entirely different experience altogether. Written over the course of 28 years and first presented in 1876, the cycle comprises four operas that link to form an epic saga. It addresses big ideas like the beginning and end of civilizations,

the timeless quests for wealth and power, love and revenge. It references human history, Norse and Greek mythology, folklore and the ideas of great philosophers. And, all told, it takes about 17 hours to unfold.

had to be ready when tickets went on sale. Credit card in hand I made my booking request for one of the cycles, only to learn a few days later that it was sold out, but that I was on the list for the following one. Even then, we were only able to get seats in the second balcony.

Fortunately, the 10-year-old Marion Oliver McCaw Hall has no bad seats and the acoustics are wonderful.

On a Monday afternoon we arrived at the opera house to attend our first lecture at 5:30 p.m. Das Lorne Eckersley Rheingold (The Rhine Gold), which introduces the gods, including Wotan, their castle Seattle Opera is a rare company (Valhalla) and the endless and that presents the entire Ring in a unhealthy quest for gold, ran for week (six days, actually) and it has three hours, without an intermission. been doing so each four years for The Tuesday, Thursday and the last three decades.

At some time in our lives we all experience physical pain, sometimes acute, sometimes chronic. Our mood, thoughts and emotions can affect the perception of pain and influence our ability to heal. While treatments like medication and physiotherapy can be enormously beneficial, to fully maximize pain relief it’s necessary to take advantage of the mind’s healing abilities. In pain clinics all over the world, mindfulness training offers a revolutionary new approach to pain management. I say “new” but, really, the techniques of mindfulness are rooted in what the Buddha taught 2,500 years ago.

We all know that on some level, pain is an inevitable part of the human condition. What is not so commonly known is that there are many mindfulness techniques available that help meet chronic pain and work with it proactively. Medical approaches have not reliably led to relief from the confusion and despair that so often accompany chronic pain. A systematic application of mindfulness techniques, which are based on extensive clinical experience, have shown that whatever you experience, if you are willing to do a certain amount of inner exploring and if you are open

to mobilizing your own resources, you may discover that pain need not lead to suffering and to the erosion of a satisfying life.

This is the Life

A mindful approach to pain A

Zen's-Eye View Kuya Minogue

Many of the practices around pain management are similar to the ones that I have presented in this series on mindfulness through this column.

Only awareness can balance out all the various inflammations of thought, emotional agitation and distortions that blow through the mind in face of a chronic pain condition. These distortions ride on the often depressing stories we tell ourselves about pain — stories that wind up imprisoning us and severely limiting our options, especially if we attach to these stories as true.

Mindfulness and pain practices help bring new awareness to intense body sensations. As we drop our adversarial relationship with our body and take baby steps towards befriending all sensations, including

discomfort and pain, we can let go of thoughts like, “My life is ruined.”

These kinds of thoughts compound the intensity and duration of pain.

We are not our pain; we are much bigger than it. There are many ways to be in relationship to intense sensations, and even the limitations, that pain brings.

Mindfulness practice helps us to live well in the moment with whatever arises.

This is the last column in the mindfulness series. I’ll be taking a break from A Zen’s-Eye View until October. Thank you to the many readers who have told me how my column has benefited them. As part of my ongoing processes of certifying as a mindfulness-based stress management instructor, I will be co-offering an eight-week mindfulness, stress and chronic pain course from Oct. 1-Nov. 26 for anyone wanting to begin a systematic mindfulness practice.

Registration will be limited to 10. In the meantime, take the time to notice the present moment without judging it in any way. This is the basis of mindfulness. And remember, enjoy your life.

Credit union support appreciated To the Editor: As the organizer for the Art in the Chamber displays and for the Artistic Visions Summer Art Market, which is currently on display at the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce, it was my choice to use an art show sign borrowed from the Creston Art Club. A few weeks ago, during that big windstorm, the sign was blown into the road and run over. Total destruction! So, I borrowed another sign from the art club and, although it was positioned safely, it got knocked down and was also run over.

Catastrophe! Even with help from the Community of Creston Arts Council and the Creston Art Club, replacing the signs was going to be a major expense. Fortunately, an angel, in the form of the Creston and District Credit Union, has come to our aid and I will be able to replace the signs.

The Artistic Visions group has been banking with the Credit Union for three years and we have always had wonderful service and assistance from all of the staff. This recent financial assistance is like the icing on the cake.

Thank you so much, Creston and District Credit Union, for being so supportive of our community and the arts.

Work done

by PAWS deserves tax support To the Editor: We are amazed at the controversy surrounding the proposed assisted funding through taxation for the Pet Adoption and Welfare Society. There is so much misinformation floating around the valley.

The PAWS shelter is run totally by volunteers (except for the on-site caretaker, but she returns her wages as rent). There are certainly no plans to hire employees if the Regional District of Central Kootenay and the Town of Creston do supply sustained funding.

It would make no sense to use funding dollars to pay employees, as these funds are needed to help pay the $8,000 per month for operating expenses — and volunteers are doing a superb job, anyway.

Some people say they don’t want their tax dollars going to support a shelter for pets because they have no interest in animals. But we don’t hear too much griping about paying taxes to support schools, which you pay whether you have kids in school or not. The amount of additional tax dollars pro-

Q

opinion LinE

posed for PAWS is a minute fraction of the cost for other valley services, including schools.

PAWS does so much more than take care of animals. It provides education for high school students, supplies dogs to be trained as service animals, helps special needs people by giving them things to do at the shelter, works with community outreach to provide opportunities for people ordered to perform community service, and has a program to provide older animals to seniors with all expenses paid by PAWS. We admit that the alternate approval process is new to us. But this seems like an inexpensive way to get a feel for what people are thinking in the valley.

Those who say that a referendum would be more democratic than the AAP don’t realize that taxpayers would pay the cost for a referendum. As with the Creston and District Community Complex referendum a few years ago, most people in the valley would vote for PAWS, so the tax dollars spent on the referendum would likely be wasted.

Given PAWS’ great contribution to the Creston Valley, we think it is a nobrainer that this organization should receive at least some funding that could be relied on year after year through taxation.

Patricia and David Huet Canyon To the Editor: In response to Marion Rinas (“Don’t give tax dollars to PAWS”, page 7, Aug. 15 Advance) and all other “nay-barkers”, our answer is yes, we do want some of our tax dollars used to support the Pet Adoption and Welfare Society in Creston.

The amount of work and caring PAWS gives to our four-legged friends is next to “purrfect” and we are so thankful for their efforts. We support their fundraisers when we can, but we welcome the chance to contribute on a regular basis. Thanks to the Regional District of Central Kootenay and the alternative approval process of determining voter opinion, we can hope that a few of our tax dollars will go to PAWS in future.

We also hope that 10 per cent of voters do not gallop to the RDCK office to give a “neigh” to this very humane endeavor.

Gail and Charles Bosgra Creston

Alternative approval the wrong way to fund PAWS To the Editor: The proposed alternative approval process (AAP) funding of the Pet Adoption and Welfare Society is a very cynical approach by the Regional District of Central Kootenay. Is the idea that the cost is only $5 on a $250,000

UOTE OF THE

assessment the only concern we should have? I can think of a half-dozen other charitable organizations that could use a process like this.

W. Allen McLaren’s Aug. 8 letter to the editor was an excellent backgrounder to the situation and a very clear warning of what could be repeated in the future. I will be voting no on this funding proposal because it is fundamentally undemocratic.

My question would be: Can citizens could use the APP process to reduce or eliminate existing RDCK expenses?

Casey Messinger Creston To the Editor: When I wrote my last column (sanity law test), I did not know that it would be printed right next to a huge advertisement/announcement defying sanity.

Regional District of Central Kootenay politicians have decided, once again, to play Russian roulette with taxpayers. They decided to push through an extra tax through the backdoor alternative approval process (AAP) during summer months when many taxpayers are on holidays and their guard is down. Ironically, if you flip that Advance issue page back, both letters to the editor expose the fraudulence of that infamous AAP add.

The AAP was designed for cases when small services of value to the vast majority of residents can be added without the need to squander taxpayers’ money on a referendum.

Most taxpayers have no problem with that. The problem arrives, when reckless, spineless politicians decide to abuse democratic principles repeatedly, bringing service after service — slapping tax after tax — on unsuspecting citizens.

Because this ad appeared in the paper twice already, disappointed taxpayers must collect almost 1,000 signatures against it (in our municipal elections turn out is as low as 30 per cent — that’s how much residents distrust our local elections).

This AAP was ushered in during the low-alert summer holidays. That gives little time and almost no chance to fight back. As for the AAP, I believe sustainability and airport services were brought in through the AAP, as well.

If my memory doesn’t fail me, our regional district provides about three times as many “services’ as the Regional District of East Kootenay. Folks, that means that around two-thirds of our services are bogus or unnecessary.

Is there any hope or a viable option?

How about this one? Do a mirror image of the AAP: Of all the services the RDCK provides, eliminate those that are not common with the RDEK. Those that do not collect individually at least 10 per cent of all eligible voters’ signatures in a petition will cease to exist at the end of RDCK’s fiscal year.

Essential services common to the RDCK and RDEK (some 50, give or take), like hospital and school taxes, will remain as before.

This is yet another application of my sanity law test. I have yet to see somebody who opposes it. Let people come forth and second this motion many times over, as some of them have done already.

No to AAP

From page 7 This is the final test for our politicians at the helm. If they dance around or shy away, they need to get a one-time boot in the next elections. Taxpayers are not milk cows. Politicians are not untouchable holy cows.

Our politicians are supposed to watch over our tax dollars, making responsible, sound decisions on behalf of vast majority, not a chosen few. This is a moral battle with long-term consequences. Aren’t you fed up with opportunists in places of decisions ruining our lives and our children’s future?

Vladimir Certik West Creston To the Editor: I recently received (in an email from a friend) a public notice from the Regional District of Central Kootenay informing me that bylaw 2347 will soon be passed by the alternative approval process. This concerns me very much.

The alternative approval process basically puts the onus on the citizens to “petition against the adoption of bylaw no. 2347 by signing an elector response form, which may be obtained from the Regional District of Central Kootenay office. At least 10 per cent of electors must petition against the proposal prior to the deadline date … in order to prevent the board from proceeding with the bylaw without the assent of the electors.”

What is bylaw 2347? It is to “authorize the creation of the Pet Adoption and Welfare Society (PAWS) financial contri-

bution service area and authorize an annual requisition for the service not to exceed $).025/$1,000 of net taxable value of land and improvements in the service area.” Could I please request the board to also provide a financial contribution from our taxes to assist the starving street orphans in Uganda, the young girls in Rwanda being sold as sex slaves and the homeless people in Mexico that are living in tents?

The public notice also states, “If you have any questions regarding this proposal or would like to request an elector response form, please feel free to contact” administrative services manager Anitra Winje at 1-800-268-7325 or awinje@rdck.bc.ca. I am hoping citizens of Creston and the surrounding area will make their wishes on the subject known to Anitra Winje.

Donna Munn Creston To the Editor: (Open letter to Regional District of Central Kootenay Area B director John Kettle) As a taxpayer in your area, I have a few questions: Who put forth the tax proposal for the Pet Adoption and Welfare Society? How much money will it raise at current rates?

Why do proponents not have to get the support of 10 per cent of the electorate to get it on the ballot?

How much did the Advance advertisements cost? Is the Advance circulation of 2,600 to 3,500 only one-third of voters by your count? How many readers actually read these long-jargoned ads? Why were flyers not sent out?

I walked my immediate neighbourhood and presented the ad to my fellow taxpayers and asked 36 people to sign

Thursday, August 22, 2013 Creston Valley Advance

the petition. Thirty-five signed it. How does that add up with the 10 per cent rule?

John Haley Erickson To the Editor: After reading the letters of W. Allen McLaren and Mike Sommerville (Aug. 8 Advance, page 7), I am in full agreement with them, as they pointed out the undemocratic nature of the alternative approval process. My feelings are such that democracy is best served from the bottom up, and I believe it has to start with groups of all kinds, mainly community associations where the interest is generally community minded. What can be done when the executive cannot be roused to call a meeting?

Let me add to Lorne Eckersley’s column (“It isn’t supposed to be easy”, Aug. 15, page 6) that democracy is a slow and tedious process, but it works!

Josef Hoehn Erickson To the Editor: (Re: This is the Life: “It isn’t supposed to be easy”, Aug. 15, page 6) Lorne Eckersley describes how the alternative approval process (AAP) is a valid and less expensive way of what could alternatively be an expensive referendum to gauge public opinion on putting some tax dollars to work toward the Pet Adoption and Welfare Society.

I get a lot of people communicating with me on many issues, but on this particular issue I have received a huge amount of communication! All of the communication has been negative toward the AAP and tax dollars going towards PAWS — and I agree

with the communication I have received.

Nothing against PAWS — I think it is a great organization — but so are the numerous other non-profit, worthy organizations in our community, and the majority of them are run by donations and grants.

So what if the Community Charter allows the APP? So what if it is cheaper than a referendum? Why do either?

As one woman said to me, “Why didn’t areas B and C and the Town of Creston hold town meetings discussing this issue?” Good question! A couple of hundred dollars for the use of a hall, a hundred dollars or so for a couple weeks of ads in the Creston Valley Advance — notifying the public that areas B and C, and the Town of Creston would like to increase taxes slightly to give money towards PAWS, and asking the electorate in to please come to the meeting to discuss this matter, and then let them know what they think — and maybe another hundred dollars in signage around the town. For less than $500 you would probably have a huge crowd letting you know, “No, we do not want our tax dollars increased at all.”

This is all perfectly legal, very easy and it gives the people of this valley a voice and a true picture of transparency in governance. It is not too late to do this. If I were from PAWS I would absolutely insist on this, because what this present fiasco is doing is giving PAWS a bad name. And if PAWS does insist on this, they might get a lot more donations in the future for their willingness to see how convoluted the present APP process is and how jilted the electorate is feeling. Claw back the APP, apologize — it is OK, people make mistakes — and try the straightforward approach of just talking to people.

Music by Vancouver’s King offering distinct sound SUBMITTED

In Bocephus King, the enigmatic Vancouver native who’s melodiously skirted so effortlessly between blues, alternative country, traditional songwriting and modern esthetics — and who plays Aug. 31 at the Snoring Sasquatch — we find now the voice of a songwriter and musician on a new path, ever-creating his own distinct sound. The results are nothing less than glorious on his new album, Willie Dixon God Damn.

Starting where he left off, with traces of the genresmashing joy and adventure in his previous critically All acclaimed Children Believe in Federico Sponza Heaven, King has Bocephus King plays Aug. 31 at the Snoring sabotaged the typecasting. There’s less Sasquatch. the gravel-raw hobo-rock alternating with jazz- at the end of the world. noir torch songs present in his King’s own voice has never earlier music. There’s urgency been more present and contempohere, as if the album is a signpost rary. He avoids the easy answers

and therein lies some of the majesty of the tone of his latest work. The new album continues to present King as a cultural omnivore who eats with his mouth wide open. But the musical influences may as well be spoken of with the same weight as how literature and cinema are just as significant ingredients.

His eclectic mélange integrates a soulful street carnival blues, moments that possess the glissando of a Michel Gondry dream sequence, the rustic appeal of a border town

roots rock, and for the first time, hints of Eastern mysticism. Somewhere, George Harrison is smiling on the whole affair.

Willie Dixon God Damn finds Bocephus King at his poetic best, his words the stuff of hardboiled fiction, the Beats, and the heart. Stick with them, and he takes you on an evocative trip down strange memory lane, pouring out his heart like a bottle. Not that King’s left to deal with those ghosts and demons alone.

Creston-Kootenay Foundation gives $500 bursary to 2013 PCSS grad

BY JULIE EWASHEN

Submitted

Prince Charles Secondary School grad Hartley Matthews.

Prince Charles Secondary School graduate Hartley Matthews is the recipient of the Creston-Kootenay Foundation Youth $500 bursary and plans to attend North Island College in Courtney in September. He intends to complete plumbing and pipefitting courses and work towards his Red Seal journeyman ticket.

Later, Matthews will take a course in blacksmithing offered at Selkirk College in Nelson. This will complement

creative abilities already demonstrated in metal work.

CKF Youth originated in the early years of the CrestonKootenay Foundation. At that time, the Vancouver Foundation matched amounts raised by youth over a period of three years. Interest from this money generates enough for an annual bursary to a PCSS graduate for further education. In keeping with the wishes of the young people who raised those funds, the bursary goes to assist a student in the field of arts and skills.

From page 5 “These are very difficult times in which to raise the money to do the things that no one else is doing,” said CRC board chair Rita Scott. “As time goes on, more services fall to the community to provide. Getting the money to do that is a major challenge.”

Visser will share successful fundraising approaches, and offer tips gleaned from over 30 years as a professional fundraiser. She will show groups how to move to a model of abundance, and make fundraising fun and deeply rewarding.

The CRC will have its own funding challenges in the future — one of the organization’s goals is to buy a building.

“We can really appreciate, on behalf of the whole non-profit sector, how difficult it is,” she said. “I think we have to move away from the idea that fundraising is a competitive activity, that if we get money, someone else does not.”

Visser organized a media outreach campaign and raised $1.5 million in 10 months to ensure that the Valhalla Mile, a 155-acre privately owned lakefront property on Slocan Lake, was purchased and added to the Valhalla Provincial Park — an act that

earned her a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.

She is well equipped to attack fundraising from a variety of angles — her career has included time as a journalist at a daily Calgary newspaper, a corporate communications professional with Petro-Canada, Nova Corporation, Husky Oil and Shell Canada, and as a fundraising professional for the Canadian Red Cross and Ecojustice Canada.

In addition to volunteering in the conservation community, she is helping to establish the Slocan Valley Legacy Fund, a community foundation. She’s also a farmer, raising free-range hens for the Fowlty Towers egg emporium, and an amateur musician, playing clarinet in four bands.

“We are very excited to offer to the community at large, and the non-profit sector in particular, this instructive and innovative speaker who can help us to make definite strides in our fundraising,” said Scott. “She is going to help us find our strengths, and how to bring a positive outlook to meet those challenges.”

Visser’s presentation runs as part of the CRC’s annual general meeting, which runs 6:30-9 p.m.

Sept. 4 in the Creston and District Community Complex’s Erickson Room. For more information, visit www.CarmanahStrategies.com.

Traffic concerns residents

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

At the Aug. 13 regular meeting, Creston town council received letters from two Creston residents concerned about highway traffic through town.

One, from 20th Avenue South resident Jan Zacharias, expressed displeasure with the summer increase of motorcycle traffic on Canyon Street, which creates “unwanted and unnecessary noise.”

“Creston promotes itself as a retirement community and this is at odds with the driving style of many of the local residents, as well as tourists, in terms of noise levels,” her letter said.

She said Creston RCMP Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan told her it is not in excess of traffic noise laws, but has also been told that “those driving motorcycles can alter their driving style so as to minimize this noise.”

Zacharias asked for council to consider placing prominent signage at either end of town, “messaging that is respectful but asks for a change in driving habits both from tourists and local citizens whose driving habits create excessive noise.”

Coun. Scott Veitch, who used to live in that part of town, agreed that there can be a lot of traffic noise, but Coun.

Judy Gadicke felt that seniors

Thursday, August 22, 2013 Creston Valley Advance should appreciate the extra volume from motorcycles.

“When you’re riding a motorcycle, they don’t see you, so you need the volume,” she said.

A letter — copied to, among others, B.C. Premier Christy Clark — from Michael Bunn also requested signage at either end of town, these to direct large truck traffic to use Highway 21 and Erickson Road/Street instead, thereby reducing the concern of accidents downtown.

“Also, application to the provincial government could be made to have the Erickson Road designated as [Highway] 3 as opposed to Canyon Street, otherwise Canyon Street is an accident waiting to happen,” he added.

News of potentially hazardous truck traffic travelling through downtown didn’t come as a surprise to council.

“It’s not as if we’re unaware,” said Gadicke.

Council Briefs •Water Smart ambassador Sara Huber presented her final report to council. Over the course of the summer, she conducted 35 residential irrigation assessments, responded to over 50 instances of residents watering outside of recommended or mandatory watering times — providing education to those interested — and read 17 Erickson water meters to compile water usage information.

In her report, Huber also suggested that the town should consider the cost of a xeriscape learning garden outside Creston Town Hall as an “interactive way to engage community members about drought tolerant plants and ways to conserve water outdoors.” For the town to convert approxi-

MEADOW CREEK SPAWNING CHANNEL: NEW VIEWING HOURS, & OPEN HOUSE Due to increased bear activity, Meadow Creek Spawning Channel, at the north end of Kootenay Lake, will be open to the public between:

10.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. each day

You can see spawning kokanee between late August and early October, with the best viewing time typically during the first two weeks of September.

Please be aware that due to human-bear conflicts, Meadow Creek Spawning Channel may be completely closed to the public at any time, by the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO).

OPEN HOUSE

On Sunday Sept 8, the Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program and FLNRO will be hosting an Open House at Meadow Creek Spawning Channel. View the kokanee, talk to biologists, find out about ‘BearSmart’, and the Nutrient Restoration Program in Kootenay Lake. A great free, family event!

For more information about the new opening times, or the Open House, call 250-354-6333

mately 1,000 square feet of its property to xeriscape, the initial cost would be about $7,700.

•In response to a request from the local Ducks Unlimited Canada branch, council will donate a town duffle bag to the annual silent auction and banquet, which will be held on Oct. 5. Couns. Joanna Wilson, Jerry Schmalz, Wes Graham and Veitch supported the motion, while Gadicke was opposed, feeling that the donation should have been a local product.

•A letter from the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) informed council that the union is working with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to support rail safety efforts following the July 6 Lac-Mégantic, Que., derailment, and asked for feedback regarding safety concerns.

Council’s first concern was whether local services are prepared for a similar situation.

“We do have an emergency response plan, as far as hazardous materials,” said Creston Fire Rescue Chief Michael Moore. “The challenge is the limited resources in the event of an emergency.”

Mayor Ron Toyota asked if it was possible to find out what hazardous materials are carried through town, and Moore responded that those related to Teck Cominco are known, as are those that can be read on the sides of rail cars. More information would be helpful, though.

“The day we find out as a community could be the day we have a derailment,” said Moore.

•Council passed three readings of bylaws 1785 and 1789, respectively, an election voting machine bylaw and an amendment to the tax exemption bylaw.
