DUC banquet raising funds for wetlands

$1.10 (includes GST)

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

TODAY'S WEATHER

Tickets are now available for the annual fundraising banquet and auctions hosted by the Creston branch of Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC). It runs on Oct. 5, and will feature more local auction items than usual.

“We have a much wider range of different things to appeal to anyone of any age, instead of just what Ducks offers from their national office,” said Lou Knafla, one of the banquet’s organizers.

For the High Flyer portion of the auction, in which guests bid on small items for a chance at one big one, the local prize can be chosen from Bahamas Travel, Overwaitea Foods or Home Hardware Building Centre, with each creating $2,000-plus packages — ski or casino travel packages have been confirmed, and others are yet to be announced.

More local artisans than usual have contributed to this year’s auctions, and their products, as well as others from local businesses, will be auctioned alongside a special barrel of Alberta Springs whisky.

Victoria’s Ted Musson, 71, is walking across Canada to raise awareness about fraud in the 2011 federal election.

Victoria senior walks for awareness

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor He’s several hundred miles from home, but for Victoria’s Ted Musson, the journey is just beginning — the 71-yearold is walking across Canada in protest of the 2011 federal election fraud, including the robocall scandal, in which voters received automated calls to dissuade from casting ballots by falsely telling

them that the location of their polling stations had changed.

“They were targeting my peers — the elderly and so forth — people who couldn’t just turn on a dime and reassess their day,” he said on Monday, while spending a few days in Creston.

Musson started his cross-country walk on May 19, taking his time as he travels, held back by arthritis and constant doubling back and forth to his

camper — he parks and walks a few kilometres, then drives ahead and repeats the process.

“I’m a one-trick pony,” he said.

He’s enjoyed the chance to see parts of B.C. he has never seen before. Musson thought Nelson was beautiful, and has been thrilled with the friendliness and generosity of people in the Creston Valley.

Government

From page 1 When he stopped his camper about seven kilometres north of Creston, a resident came by and — after making sure Musson wasn’t going to empty his septic tank on the side of the road — brought him fresh cucumbers, tomatoes and corn.

Born in Toronto, Musson has lived in Victoria since 2000, after spending 22 years in Vancouver, and he’s seen his fair share of questionable governments, but this one is different.

“This one is the first one, as far as I’m concerned, that is an illegal government,” he said.

“My understanding is that Stephen Harper is the only person on the planet who can revisit 2011.

He’s not going to.”

An avid baseball fan, he found himself enjoying games less after news of the scandal broke.

“If I was sitting watching the Blue Jays getting their butts kicked or sitting in my little studio, I was sitting there getting angry,” he said.

So, the former musician left his four-by-seven-by-eight-foot music studio, and his government subsidized apartment for a trip that would help him get his view across to all Canadians, and hopefully encourage them to take a closer looks at the country’s political issues.

“They’ll see a crazy old man walking down the highway, at least a third of the time limping — my knees are terribly arthritic,” he said.

“Maybe they’ll take a closer look. I’m hoping any attention I get will have people looking beyond this.”

Thunder Cats hosting weekend exhibition games

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor It’s been over six months since the Creston Valley Thunder Cats were last on the ice, having lost 5-3 to the Columbia Valley Rockies on Feb. 16 in their final game of the season.

But they will return to the John Bucyk Arena for two exhibition games this weekend, hosting the Beaver Valley Nitehawks on Friday and the Rockies on Saturday, giving spectators a chance to see hopefuls who remain after the Monday-Wednesday training camp.

About 50 players are expected at the training camp, nearly doubling the mere 28 who attended last year’s.

“We have a few coming to camp that are supposed to be high-end players that I haven’t seen yet,” said head coach and general manager Josh Hepditch, returning for a second season.

Along with those are up to about 16 returning players, including locals Jaymes Veitch, Matti Jmaeff and Colby Livingstone, although the latter two will be trying out for Junior A hockey after the Thunder Cats camp. Other locals trying out will include Nick Mottl and Curtis Luke, and 15-year-olds Ethan Plotnikoff and Logan Wullum will train with the team this season, with the hope of having them join in the 20142015 season.

Other hopefuls are Maverick Lynes, a 17-year-old defenceman from Grand Forks, who attended the Thunder Cats’ spring camp.

“He shows a lot of good potential,” said Hepditch. “He’s a smart, good-skating defenceman.”

Dillon Bogart, who played for the Missoula Maulers, is also a potential Thunder Cat, along with a goalie and forward from Notre Dame, and three boys who played Junior B in Calgary.

“They showed pretty good potential at the spring camp,” said Hepditch.

Hepditch was also hopeful that Brandon Formosa, a top scorer from two seasons ago, would return.

With a possible core of over a dozen veterans, this season could prove to be successful.

“We would expect to start right up where we finished,” he said. “We have good players coming back who know the style of game I like to play.”

Last season, the Thunder Cats finished at the bottom of the Eddie Mountain Division, with 17 wins and 28 losses, many roster changes resulting in a slow start.

“We had a really tough start last year,” said Hepditch.

“Between October and November we had two big losing streaks that dug a big hole for us, too big to get out of coming down the stretch.”

Two big losses late in the season made advancing to the playoffs impossible, but Hepditch feels that the season was a positive one regardless.

“I would call it a winning year — from a start with 28 kids in camp to beating some of the top teams,” said Hepditch.

During the off-season, Hepditch remained involved in the sport, playing hockey in the U.S., and assistant coaching the B.C. Aboriginal team, which won the national championship in Montreal.

He was also a coach on the reality show Hit the Ice, which gives Aboriginal kids from across the country three weeks of training, then has them play in front of scouts. During the course of the program, they are taught by over a half-dozen NHL players.

“They get to do some bigtime stuff,” Hepditch said.

He’s now looking forward to starting a new season with this year’s Creston Valley Thunder Cats.

“To have 16 come back is a nice start,” he said. “They’re hungry to get going again.”

Fence messages raising therapeutic riding funds

A wide variety of messages have been spelled out on the Wloka Farms fence.

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The fence around Wloka Farms in Erickson started out as, well, just a fence. But it’s turned into something more: a message board that raises funds for a worthy cause.

For $25 a day (plus $5 for each additional day), messages commemorating birthdays, weddings, graduations and more are hung on the fence, with all proceeds going to the Therapeutic Riding Program operated by the Creston and District Society for Community Living.

“It is the most wonderful program in the world,” said Barb Wloka. “You see the progression and it’s marvelous.”

The fence surrounds the Wloka’s orchard of upright fruiting offshoots, and the messages were the suggestion of her daughter and son-inlaw. They started out simply, and when Wloka’s sister, Anne Jackson, put up a sign to welcome Wloka home from a trip, an idea was sparked.

“I wondered if other people would like to do a personal message,” said Jackson.

The messages are created with flagging tape, and the sisters currently use two shades of green, yellow, pink, red and white, with purple

and mauve on their wish list.

Their work is divided fairly evenly, with Jackson creating the words and Wloka designing the artwork, which has included hearts, fruit and trees — most of which are usually recognizable.

“If I do a pear and somebody thinks it’s a squash, does it really matter?” Wloka joked.

“Her happy face I thought was a scary pumpkin,” added Jackson, and both laughed.

Over the year since starting the messages, the sisters have streamlined the work, with certain items (the words “grad”, “congrats”, “retirement” and “celebrate”, and numbers are a few examples) being reused, and switching from twist ties to alligator clips to attach the words and artwork to the fence.

Between bookings, they will add their own messages to make sure passersby have something new to look at.

“We’re really doing something totally different,” said Jackson. “People say they can’t wait to come around the corner and see what it says.”

To book a message on the Wloka Farms fence, contact Therapeutic Riding Program director Michelle Whiteaway at whiteaway@hotmail.com or 250-402-6793.

TOWN OF CRESTON

MEDIA RELEASE CRESTON REDUCES WATER CONSUMPTION BY 20%

The Town of Creston is proud to announce that the community of Creston has reduced gross community water consumption by 20 percent since 2009! The amount of water saved annually is equivalent to 337,000,000 litres or 4,814 Creston & District Community Complex pools!

A special thanks to all town residents for committing to reduce Creston’s water consumption, and becoming more water conscious. With your assistance we have reached this milestone one year ahead of the goal set for Creston!

There were 6 key reasons for the reductions: • Citizen commitment.

• Location and repair of leakage in the municipal distribution system.

• Extensive water loss management training for Creston’s water operations and management staff.

• Improvements to Creston’s capacity and expertise in water data collection and analysis.

• Implementation of a successful public education and outreach program (Water Smart Ambassador).

• Ongoing collaboration with the RDCK on optimization of the shared water system.

With Creston identifying water loss within the municipal distribution system and gaining control of the issue, the biggest opportunity for future water demand reductions is in the practice of irrigation. Lawn watering is the main contributor to peak demand, which is when water use is at its highest. By reducing peak demand, Creston residents can reduce their impact on the water supply, distribution and treatment infrastructure.

Those interested in learning how to water their lawns more efficiently and wanting to inquire about other water conservation tips can call the Creston/RDCK Water Smart Ambassador at 250-402-9264 between June 1 to August 31 yearly.

Creston is part of the Columbia Basin Water Smart Initiative, a regional water conservation initiative that provides support to participating Basin communities to develop and implement local water use efficiency plans for reduction of community wide water consumption. Water Smart is working to achieve a 20% reduction in gross community water consumption among participating communities by 2015.

“I don’t know what he was protesting against — he didn’t say. When he left my daughter and I just looked at each other in amazement. Then my daughter said, ‘Well, that was extremely rude.’ ” Cook also entered the Northstar Creston GM dealership and tore papers up before leaving.

Creston RCMP have identified the man who tore up Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) alternate approval process (AAP) petitions in several businesses on Aug. 19.

“We have spoken to him, he’s admitted to his actions and is very apologetic,” Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said on Aug. 20.

Gollan said police were prepared to recommend charges against the man, described by witnesses as being in his 60s, but that RDCK Area C director and Creston Valley services committee chair Larry Binks did not want charges laid.

Instead, Gollan said, he had directed police to look into the possibility of using the Restorative Justice program, which is typically used for first offenders.

The man, who identified himself to the Advance as Bill Cook (see story below), entered at least three businesses and tore up Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) alternative approval process papers containing signatures of people who object to the taxation plan.

“I was sitting at a table with two customers and we were completely oblivious to the whole thing,” said Renee’s Roadhouse Diner proprietor Renee

The papers were placed beside a laminated copy of information provided by PAWS, and he walked off with it, she said.

“The whole thing is on our video camera,” she said. “I followed him out into the parking lot and took a picture of him in his car with my iPhone.”

One of the customers Zsoltaros was sitting with, John Huscroft, stood in the parking lot in an attempt to stop the man from driving off, but he had to move quickly to avoid being run over.

“There was no slowing down,” she said. “If Johnny had been slower he would have been hit.”

Zsoltaros said it was disturbing that a man, whom she could not identify, would take such action.

“It disrespects the process and it disrespects our community,” she said. “I

don’t know how he thought it could turn out well.”

The Highway 21 business owner reported the incident to police and provided them with a licence plate number, which Gollan said did not match the description of the dark blue convertible with hideaway headlights the man drove off in.

“We are continuing our investigation and we have asked for direction from Crown counsel about what sort of charges might be appropriate when we locate the man,” Gollan said. “It seems to me this is more serious than just mischief.”

Canyon Country Store owner Cora Schultz reported that she had a similar experience with the petitions on her counter.

She said the man is a regular customer.

“I was helping a customer in the post office part of the store when he walked in,” she said earlier today. “He made some purchases from my 16-year-old

AAP petitions torn because ‘emotions boiled over’

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The Creston man who tore up petitions in Creston businesses on Aug. 19 said that the incidents stemmed from misinformation spread about the Pet Adoption Welfare Society (PAWS), which the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) had intended to fund through the alternative approval process (AAP).

The story Bill Cook heard was that the PAWS on-site caretaker was living on the proper-

“To my mind, there is a big stretch between the two. … I just couldn’t get over that particular lie, my emotions boiled over and I got stupid,” said Cook on Aug. 22.

Triggering a pet peeve

What seemed like a pretty innocuous idea last year turned out not to be so for our local regional directors. They were completely blindsided by the storm of controversy that arose from a proposal to provide some operating funds to the Pet Adoption and Welfare Society through a small property tax levy. I’ll admit that I was, too.

The notion dates back to a local services committee meeting last year, when Regional District of Central Kootenay directors Larry Binks, Garry Jackman, John Kettle and Ron Toyota heard a report from PAWS about its operation and its role in the emergency needs generated by the spring floods. Farm animals and pets were left homeless when rivers rose over their embankments and PAWS was asked to provide emergency services to provide temporary shelter and care.

It was Kettle who suggested that PAWS should be brought into emergency planning process, so that the regional district would have a one-stop solution to providing care for animals during emergencies in the Creston Valley. If we could provide some regular funding through taxation, would you be prepared to commit time, energy and resources to provide emergency services whenever needed, he asked. The answer was yes. The directors were of one mind that this was a good idea.

It took months for the idea to become a plan, and for the necessary bureaucratic hoops to be jumped through. When a taxation figure was decided upon and the provincial government had

they were getting and by letters to the editor in the Advance — a pretty good bellwether of public opinion — were already in the process of seeing if the time could be extended for the alternative approval process opponents to ensure opponents had their say.

Then, when news broke about a man going around to local businesses and tearing up papers bearing opponents’ signatures, directors made a quick decision to ask the RDCK board to kill the process, at least temporarily.

Base vote on facts, not hearsay

gut-wrenching decision to leave their home and move into care facilities.

Some pets come to the shelter because their owner has died, and no family or friend is able to adopt them. And, of course, there are lots and lots of strays brought into the shelter. Fortunately, most of the strays are re-united with their families.

The powers-that-be have determined that Creston Valley does not warrant a local branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. So then, what should we do with all these animals? Twice in the past two weeks I’ve heard someone say, “Just shoot them”. We know from experience that some people “solve” their unwanted pet problems by dropping them off in a farmer’s field, dumping them at a landfill or driving them up the summit and leaving them there. Fortunately, most people are more compassionate than that and, thanks to their generosity, Creston Valley residents have a no-kill shelter option available to them.

PAWS provides many services to the Creston Valley (for more info, visit www.paws-crestonbc.org or call 250428-PAWS) and each year the demand for these services increases. This requires thousands of volunteer hours.

It also requires thousands of dollars — about $8,000 per month — to pay for vet bills, medicine, litter, special food, cleaning and office supplies, insurance and utilities. The money to pay for this comes entirely from donations and fundraising. However, the growing demand makes it difficult to make ends meet.

So those of you who are opposed to using tax dollars to support PAWS, what do you suggest as an alternative?

What can be done to solve this problem? Please don’t let your dislike of the political process override your compassion for animals in need. Please help us find a workable solution.

Joan Halvorsen West Creston

To the Editor: Over the last couple of weeks, there has been a lot of discussion and misinformation in regards to the Pet Adoption and Welfare Society (PAWS) and the alternative approval process (AAP) for funding. One of the misconceptions was that some of the funding would be used to pay volunteers, and a letter in the Aug. 15 paper just added fuel to the fire.

In my opinion, the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) directors have recognized that the majority of the public had no idea why this decision had been initiated and that the taxpayers needed a better understanding as to why and what the alternative may have been. If you were one of the businesses that hosted the APP form, or if you signed the form, I would hope that over the next few months you take advantage of any meetings held by RDCK directors and get the facts as to why this proposal had been made.

On a brighter note, a woman who overheard a conversation in a local restaurant regarding PAWS was so disheartened that she and her children showed up at the shelter and made a sizable donation. A pickup truck full of containers was donated at Columbia Bottle Recycle, and the society now has one more volunteer. Last month, I wrote a cheque for $1,005.35 to PAWS for bottles that were donated over the last four months, and thanks to many supporters, today I wrote a cheque for $755.65 for the last 30 days.

Get informed over this proposal and vote based on facts, not hearsay.

The king returned to his palace and fasted. Very early the next morning, he hurried to the lions' den and called out, “Daniel, servant of the living God! Was your God, whom you worship continually, able to rescue you from the lions?”

Daniel answered, “My God sent his angel to shut the lions' mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent.”

In harmony with the practices of that time the accusers suffered the fate of the ones found to be innocent. The king ordered the accusers, and their families, to be fed to the lions and they were promptly eaten!

King Darius decreed “that everyone throughout my kingdom should tremble with fear before the God of Daniel. For he is the living God, and he will endure forever.

His kingdom will never be destroyed, and his rule will never end.

“He rescues and saves his people. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.”

And today He still rescues and delivers those who trust Him. Ian Cotton is the retired pastor of the Creston Seventh-day Adventist Church.

To the Editor: Wow! The Regional District of Central Kootenay’s proposal to provide a portion of Pet Adoption and Welfare Society operational costs through taxation seems to have created a great outpouring of venom and misinformation within our community. So much passion and anger! All because of a $5 tax increase for the average homeowner?

Really? Surely the cost can’t be the issue. So the opposition must be coming from those who either disagree with the political process or disagree with helping to fund PAWS. I can’t speak to the political process.

As Lorne Eckersley said (????), there are no easy answers. However, I would like to address some of the questions and comments I have heard over the past few weeks regarding PAWS. Over the years, PAWS has provided shelter to hundreds of animals in need.

Why are there so many? Where do they all come from?

Many of these animals are unwanted puppies and kittens whose owners have chosen not to spay or neuter their animals. (Thank you, Creston Spay/Neuter Animal Program for all you do!) Some are surrendered because, although they were cute and cuddly as puppies and kittens, they’ve become too much for the owner to handle. Some are there for temporary care during emergency situations (house fire, car accident, family crisis).

Many are the beloved best friends of seniors who have had to make the

Tales from summer trails

Many of us have sometimes come back from an outing having memories of some spectacular, unusual or rare event. In many cases, that event takes place a bit more often than we immediately perceive it does because we are not out there to witness it. So, in some ways it is, to use a rather trite or unsuitable phrase, “business as usual”.

The summer season marks time with life’s events of which we catch only rare glimpses, which, then become special memories.

Standing at the edge of Bridal Lake in Kootenay Pass, I was watching a small sandpip-

Out There

Ed McMackin er flit back and forth across the lake. There were several flitting about. Often they would follow each other, flying so close to the water’s surface that their wingtips appeared to almost touch the lake’s surface.

While watching this sandpiper air show, one flitted over the lake to the nearby shore, but instead of landing on the shore I spotted it hovering, something I had never witnessed sandpipers doing. The next part of its maneuver was also something I had never seen before. After hovering for a few seconds, the sandpiper abruptly made an almost clumsy landing on a bare twig at the top of a short leafless conifer. It repeated this several times. The hovering, as only I can figure, must have been some kind of pre-landing preparation specified in case landing should be on a bare twig. I am not finding a legitimate reason for it landing on the twig, other than for a better view.

I have seen herons, our largest “sandpipers”, land in trees. Their toes are really too long for that.

Sandpipers’ toes are similarly long and, I would say, more adapted for landing on beaches and floating vegetation than for limb-landing.

Chickadees, who are tree lovers (perching birds), have, comparatively speaking, very short toes. A photo of sandpiper toes wrapped around a twig would be quite interesting. We haven’t seen it all!

How much have we actually seen or really know?

The flat walk around Bridal Lake is quite enjoyable, especially when high temperatures reign in the lower valley bottoms. There are two hiking/walking trails nearby, one to the south and one to the north of the highway. The more shady one to the south will still have lots of flowers around seeps and little brooks, and frequent animal appearances.

Haystack Lakes Trail is a favorite hike with some; however, so far I have been there only once this season. Now, Sphinx Mountain I have been able to hike three times so far, and each trip was special and unique. One of those times, it was my privilege to tent overnight on the top and get an introduction to its “night life”. In the evening, I would say it was very quiet as the sun set over Kokanee Glacier. It was very peaceful. In the night, under a near full moon, my new tent, flapping in

the steady breeze, kept me from hearing much in the way of night sounds except for some distant thundering. Even under the near full moon the distant mountains were dimly outlined darkness.

Morning did come. That was when I heard some clucking and whistle-like sounds around the tent. I didn’t see the source, but it must have come from a ptarmigan, which I saw two of, not far from the tent. One was making its way slowly over the bare dirt, rocks and ground cover, herding three chicks ahead of it, which, along the way, pecked here and there at a leaf or insect. Even adult ptarmigan, in mountain landscapes, are hard to spot unless they move. And, I only spotted the young after realizing this ptarmigan could have a family with it. They are so camouflaged.

The trail to the top of Sphinx is a stiff, shortish hike compared to the hike along Parker Ridge to Parker Peak in Idaho. The route to the Sphinx trailhead is about an hour’s hike along a deactivated road taking off from Gray Creek Pass road.

Then it is perhaps a two- or three-hour hike to the top, which is a bit over 8,300 feet in altitude.

No rock scrambling, just putting one foot ahead of the other. In midsummer, the flowers and the view are spectacular, but it also makes a nice late summer hike or campout. Now, let’s check out some more high country.

Silene is the “clan” name of one personality you might chance to meet on some high-country ridge or slope. Silene is the first name in the twoname Latin identification for plants more commonly called catchfly, wild pink, silene and campion. They are all kind of similar. The plants have a tube-like structure that encloses the bottom portion of the petals while the upper part of the flower flares out from the top opening of the “tube”. A favorite campion of hikers is the pinkflowered, low-growing, moss campion. Some of the campions have a very enlarged tube and, hence, the very delightful name of “bladder” campion. This is where the tale continues.

This large, now bulbous tube, which is no longer a tube after the petals are gone, may be pale green with dark green or even brownish purple ribs. It reminds me of wild cucumber seed pods except the campion “bladder” is much smaller.

Now, it is thought that the bladder part of bladder campion becomes a “greenhouse” for the developing seeds to reach maturity in an otherwise short season and harsh mountain climate.

There is a surprising amount of plant and animal life and ways to be found on those seemingly bare mountain slopes, tops and ridges (and lower down, too). Just because the spring and early summer seasons are behind us doesn’t mean that it is now boring out there. It is that only if you make it.

Now the season, even though there are still lots of flowers, is changing from coloured flowers to coloured leaves and other aspects of summer’s productivity. Easy access to cooler temperatures, while warm temperatures still reign in the valleys, and the high country can be made in Kootenay Pass on trails to the north and south of the highway

by Bridal Lake. An endless array of personalities awaits your visit and your attention!

BY LEN RINGSTAD This weekend, some of the players from the first four years of the Creston Valley Thunder — now the Creston Valley Thunder Cats — will be back in town for a 20-year reunion.

“It will be great to be back in the arena for a game on Saturday at 2 p.m.” said former captain Devin Grimeau. “After that, we will grab a quick meal and be back in the curling club by 7 p.m. to meet all those fans who supported us.”

At the social, the Thunder alumni will host a silent auction, with all proceeds going to the Thunder Cats.

“We would like to help the Cats, so junior hockey can stay in the valley,” said former No. 23, Shayne Casey. “So please come out and join us for the game at 2 p.m. and cheer on the men we all remember and enjoyed.”

It has been over 20 years since the Creston Valley Junior Hockey Society was formed in the early 1990s, and its purpose was to promote Junior Hockey in the Creston Valley. The Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League was in its inaugural year, and Creston was looking at joining.

The Fernie Ghostriders team was folding and Creston had the chance to

take it over. So for the 19921993 season, Creston was in and they expected players, equipment and expertise.

In the fall of 1992, nine players, with no equipment or expertise, and a lot of optimism, were the start of the Creston Valley Thunder Junior A hockey team. Training camp started the first week of September, with 28 players trying out. Included were Creston players Pat Spring, Leigh Walker, Dale and Brad Jellis, Jon Haberstock, Travis Mailhot, Rick Fehr and Cody McCurrach.

Fernie released Ash Cooper, Jason Rushton, Jake Shrenka, Jason Krog, Jason Scott and Shane Fisher. The Thunder’s first coach, Marc Bowles, and assistant coach Darren Rodney were optimistic, and the executive was busy raising money, finding billets and selling season tickets.

The team took to the ice and lost the first of almost all of their games that season. Five wins, 49 losses, three coaches and a small financial loss summed up the first season. In hindsight, the bright spot was the play of Krog, who was traded to the BC Junior Hockey League. He finished his junior career there and went on to university where he won the Hobey Baker Award for top

U.S. university player, and then played in the NHL for seven seasons.

Season two started out with coach number four, Lance Morey, who promised the executive and fans a .500 hockey club by Christmas. He brought with him players that he had coached in Calgary at the midget AAA level, names like Shayne Casey, Sheldon Clayton, Chad Gray, Shane Koopman, Tyler Theberge, Jamie Moore, Lee Morey and Jason Trottier.

Pat Spring, Leigh Walker, Ash Cooper, Brian Yon, Nathan Dame, Tyler Mailhot and Mario LeBlanc were returning players, and they would form the core of the team for the next three seasons.

Training camp had 45 hopefuls go through the system, and they were housed in the Creston Room, with sleeping at the east end and eating on the west side.

Kelly Piccinin headed up the cooking crew, providing three meals a day for the entire camp.

Rodney was impressed with the enthusiasm of the fans, with sometimes up to 100 viewers just watching the scrimmages.

The first player signed by general manager Norm Mailhot was Grimeau, a walk-on from Whitewood, Sask.

Social Conscience The beauty of the universe

BY EMILY SIMPSON Grade 9

BY TROY MESSINGER Grade 12

Their eyes are fixated on me like I’m a rare species The disgust is apparent in all those who stride past They don’t know what I’ve been through All the struggles All my regrets They don’t know how it feels Pathetic Begging for money from others because I can’t support myself It could happen to anyone of us It only takes one mistake Misjudgment That could ruin your entire life As hard as you try to pick yourself back up Someone or something Always pushes you back down like the force of gravity I know what they think I’m gruesome Frightful Indolent Incompetent Just like everyone else But I’ve faced enough obstacles to last a lifetime Some people just get unlucky If I had the choice my life wouldn’t be like this But no one does.

BY MEGAN RICHARDSON Grade 9 What is this thing staring back at me?

Her eyes are wondering, She seems lost and she cannot look me in the eyes.

Hatred, disappointment, and lack of confidence is written all over her body, I can tell how much she regrets the scars on her skinny arms and legs.

Why the confusion?

There is no reason for doubt, she is beautiful.

Why does she question it?

Her soft and longing eyes stare at me as thoughts wander and drift Through my mind.

Turning around, She walks away.

In my thoughts again, it occurred to me that the only person I see, is me.

It’s over

BY DANIEL LAW Grade 11

Slight breeze nipping at my nose Light layer of frost on the winter grass as it grows Quiet sound of music, nobody knows

Blocking out any sound we may make Every breath we take Soft, gentle, calm…motion The mood rises Temperature increases We’re both hot Whispers are passed back and forth Decisions are made It’s over I loved you.

Every single atom on earth and in this solar system came from the inside of a churning, bubbling star. These crucibles of the cosmos because unstable in their later years, collapsed under their own gravity, and then exploded, scattering their enriched guts across the galaxy, in a supernova that utterly dwarfs any explosion we can conjure. They released massive plumes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen — the building blocks of life.

These celestial primordial dust clouds formed enormous accumulations of matter, which through gravity clumped together to form new stars and planets, and on one of those planes, life.

We have evolved from raw hydrogen to human beings in 13.7 billion years, and the beauty of the world is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together. Just look around: This is what hydrogen does given enough time, and when you look up at the night sky you realize the irony of the universe, that you are part of this universe, you are in this universe, and, more importantly, you are the universe experience itself; we are all star dust in the highest exulted way.

Now, considering that life on Earth has occurred rather quickly upon its formation, we can only imagine what other quality and type of life is outside of our solar system. With the vastness of space considered, the probability becomes astonishing, the speck of light you see at night is a star that probably has a planet around it, and there may be things on that planet looking at our sun wondering about our speck. Now considering most of the stars you see are only in our

Donations help Creston Tennis Club resurface second court

BY ANI MCDOWELL Creston Tennis Club

Back in the 1980s, Creston boasted six tennis courts — two at Kinsmen Park, two at the high school, one at the brewery and one in Lister Park. Here it is 30 years later, and there are only two courts left to play on!

The two courts that are still playable are on Prince Charles Secondary School property, beside the bubble. Because of school board cutbacks, these courts were becoming unplayable, to the point that no matter where the ball landed, you had no idea where the ball would bounce as there were so many cracks on the surface.

It was at this time that the tennis club came up with an ingenious idea. We approached tennis players and asked them to purchase a tennis club membership in exchange for names of other tennis players and joining in on selected nights for playing tennis (i.e. Wednesday is ladies night, Monday and Thursday evenings are mixed doubles). The club also runs a couple of fun tennis tournaments. The club asked $25 per person and $50 per family for a season membership. With this money, the club was hoping to keep up repairs to these last two courts, buy new nets, windscreens and any other needed repair items.

In 2008, the Creston and District Credit Union donated the majority of money needed to purchase a Flex Court surface. The brewery workers union and the tennis club raised the rest of the money. This virtually transformed the one court to a brand new surface that had the added benefit of being easy on aging knees. But the other court was showing its age.

In August 2012, I had the pleasure of playing tennis with an acquaintance’s daughter and the daughter’s 10-year-old son. After playing on the Flex Court for about an hour, the daughter made a comment about the other court, saying that it was showing signs of deterioration. She asked if we were going to have it repaired. I told her that we didn’t have the money to do that, as it is very expensive to resurface a tennis court. Well, you could have knocked me over with a feather when this same person a day later offered the Creston Tennis Club money toward the resurfacing of the second tennis court. I can’t express how special this was. The person mentioned that tennis was a huge part of her life growing up and didn’t want to see the remaining court disappear.

As you can imagine, this set the Creston Tennis Club on a mission. The mission was to get the remaining money necessary to make the resurfacing a reality. Creston withstood the challenge! The tennis club received money from Dave and Robyn Betanzos, Creston and District Credit Union, Columbia Basin Trust, Falkins Insurance, BC Senior Games, Creston Rotary Club, Creston Valley Rotary Club, and Patrick and Ada Gardiner to make the dream come true.

Thank you, Robyn, for being the instigator, and for seeing the need! The tennis club will always be grateful for your generosity and vision.

Five tips to foster the love of reading this fall (NC) Reading is a gift – it takes you on a journey, opens your eyes, raises questions and exposes you to new thoughts and ideas. With the following five tips, you can make sure your child will read more and have fun while doing it: Designate Reading Time Setting daily reading time with your child is an effective way to motivate him or her to read more. Whether it is during breakfast, after school or before bedtime, a set time of day infuses routine and stability, giving your child something to look forward to.

Learn a New Word a Day Pick out a word in an encyclopedia, or have your child flip to a random page and select a word with his or her finger, then study it and learn the spelling and meaning behind the word. If you would like to go even further, you can encourage your child to use that word in a sentence the following day to help with memory retention.

Learn Through Listening Audio books, learning songs and trivia challenges help build comprehension skills and vocabulary. For a tool to help the learning to read and write process, the

The Creston Valley ADVANCE reminds students to keep when returning to school • Cyclists and walkers - make sure that drivers can see you.

• Cross at designated pedestrian crosswalks - do not jaywalk.

• Make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street.

• Cyclists ride with traffic & follow the rules of the road.

• Hold out your arm horizontally in front of you before crossing the road, so drivers can see you and know your intention.

• Walk on the sidewalk whenever possible.

If no sidewalk is present, walk in the opposite direction of traffic to be aware of on-coming traffic.

• Stand at the bus stop in a safe location.

Do not enter the street.

• Wait for the school bus to come to a complete stop and for other traffic to halt before approaching the bus.

• When exiting the bus, take three steps away from the bus so that visibility of the driver is improved.

• Watch for traffic when crossing the street.

Never cross behind the bus.

LeapReader (by LeapFrog) has a library with over 150 stories, work and audio books, along with a wide range of activities that are sure to stimulate their minds and help foster enhanced reading and writing skills.

Keep a Journal A journal is a great way to bolster your child’s creativity and enhance reading and writing skills. To add another layer of learning, encourage kids to use some of the new words they have been learning to further enhance their vocabulary. A short daily journal entry will help keep their skills sharp.

Start a Book Club Organize a book club amongst your children’s friends.

Host a get-together once a month, where they can discuss the latest book they are reading. Make it fun by serving some snacks and drinks (you can even theme them around the story).

These tips will help ensure reading is an enjoyable experience that you and your child will relish. By making reading fun, you will ensure that your child enhances his or her skills and it will be a memorable experience that you can share together for years to come.

Give your child an inviting space to study (NC)— Along with a fresh pack of crayons and pristine notebooks, your children will likely appreciate a fresh look for their rooms. Sally Morse is the director of creative services for Hunter Douglas, a leading name in Canadian window treatments. Take a look at a few of her best tips to do a makeover easily: A special place – Since it’s important for your child to have a special space in his or her room dedicated to schoolwork, you can use moldings, a screen, or even a curtain to separate the space from the rest of the room. A closet may even be converted into a study area with storage transferred to an armoire or under-the-bed contain-

ers. Wherever the study area is, make sure it is equipped with a good work surface and outlets for a computer and task lamp.

Create an appealing atmosphere – Take a cue from your child’s special interests to select a theme for decorating their room and creating an inviting setting they’ll look forward to spending time in. Some examples: • Ocean - If your child thought their vacation at the beach was pure heaven, they can return there in memory with a beach-themed-bedroom. Use watery blues on the walls and sand-coloured floors. Wallpapers, posters and prints with beach scenes also add to the seashore setting.

• Animals – For the child who is crazy about animals, select wallpaper, posters and prints featuring those they are most interested in.

Whether inspired by the jungle or a favorite stuffed toy, animals can, with a child’s imagination, turn into pleasing imaginary playmates.

• Sports – Sports enthusiasts of both sexes will enjoy having mementoes of their favorite sports, whether in the form of trophies, room accessories or team pen114 - 15th Ave. S. Creston nants.

Students can protect themselves from identity theft ents should check with their insurance provider about coverage for the damage caused by the loss of personal information. Protection against identity theft may be something students want to consider as an extra level of protection.”

Several insurance companies now offer identity theft insurance that can be added on to an existing policy.

It will cover out-of-pocket costs and other expenses associated with legal fees and re-establishing credit.

Matheson says it is always best to talk to an insurance professional about the exact coverage, but as a proactive measure for students, here are some of her suggestions to prevent identity theft: • Don’t carry a driver’s licence and a social insurance number together.

• Make sure all your computers and phones are password protection enabled.

• If the college or university uses social insurance numbers for student IDs, request an assigned number instead.

• Shred all banking information (such Learn lots and have fun! as credit card bills) before disposing of From all of us at Dairy Queen. them.

• Do not shop online or pay bills on a public computer.More information is available online at allstate.ca. www.newscanada.com

(NC) Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in Canada – and students, with their mobile devices, are often the most vulnerable.

In 2012, nearly all Canadian university students (92 per cent) owned a laptop computer – and almost half of young Canadians now own a smartphone that contains sensitive information. As a result, insurance experts are advising students to think about how they will protect themselves against identity theft.

“Repairing the damage caused by identity theft can be a lengthy, expensive process,” says Saskia Matheson, spokesperson for Allstate Insurance Company of Canada. “There are ways students can protect themselves that will save them time, money and stress.

“Many people don’t realize that when an expensive item is lost or stolen outside of the home, their property insurance still protects it,” she WELCOME WELCOME BACK BACK explained. “If a phone or computer is stolen from the library or a dorm room, a tenant TO TO SCHOOL SCHOOL insurance policy or even the student’s parent’s Enjoy the 2013 school year! homeowners’ policy may protect them against the loss of these items.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Teach teens accountability with alcohol

(NC) For many teens, the back-to-school season is the best time of the year. September means happy reunions with many friends they haven’t seen for a couple of months. That’s a long time in the lives of teens. It feels like years, so they celebrate getting back together with plenty of parties.

For parents, this scenario is bittersweet. They say it’s nice to know your teen has friends and gets invited out. On the other hand, what if there’s alcohol at these parties?

It’s natural to wonder if teens might be better off staying home, but it’s not realistic to keep teens under a parent’s supervision at all times, since they’d never learn to make the right choices for themselves. Instead, part of a parent’s job, say advisors, becomes one of making sure their teen doesn’t partake in alcohol. But

how can they start that conversation?

The experts on LabattFamilyTalk.ca – one of Canada’s most comprehensive underage drinking prevention websites – say it’s a lifelong process.

“The time for important life conversations is any time and every time,” says Barabara Coloroso, the international best-selling author of titles including Kids are Worth It! and The Bully, the Bullied and the Bystander.

“There should be lots of small talks. Not one big talk.”

Coloroso advises parents to seize opportune moments to start the discussion about alcohol. One example is a peaceful moment when driving with your teen in the car.

Parents are encouraged to be upfront about the expectations, while also expressing confidence in their kids.

Coloroso suggests opening with: We need to talk.

There are some parties coming up, and I know I can count on you to make the right decisions.

And what if your teen drinks anyway?

“Hold them accountable,” said Coloroso. “It gives them a sense of agency. They see the expectation that mom or dad think I can get through this.”

A sense of agency is viewed by many

parenting experts as critical to developing the emotional resilience children need in order to become mentally healthy adults. So, this fall, send out the message that underage drinking is not okay. Give your teen the back-to-school ‘must-have’ they never knew they wanted: accountability.

Invasive plant committee warning about knotweed CENTRAL KOOTENAY INVASIVE PLANT COMMITTEE

An extremely aggressive invasive plant species that has the ability to damage property, impact biodiversity and affect

water quality may be growing in your backyard. The Central Kootenay Invasive Plant Committee (CKIPC) is focusing efforts this summer on educating Central Kootenay residents about invasive knotweeds and their impacts.

“Invasive knotweeds can grow one metre per month and have the ability to push through concrete, brick and asphalt,” said CKIPC executive director Crystal Klym.

“These knotweeds form such a dense thicket that nothing will

grow underneath them, which impacts biodiversity, water quality and fisheries habitat along stream edges. Once established, these plants are extremely difficult to get rid of.”

Knotweed, also called “false bamboo”, grows up to five metres tall and its roots can spread up to 20 metres. The three species in the West Kootenay include Japanese, giant and Bohemian knotweed. The tall, bamboo-like stems and thick patches of this plant makes it relatively easy to identify.

Invasive knotweeds are considered to be one of the world’s worst invasive species, are legislated as “controlled waste” in the United Kingdom, and are designated as “noxious” under the BC Weed Control Act. In a recent planning session in Nelson, invasive knotweeds were identified as one of the highest priority species for control.

“Knotweed is found on many properties in the Kootenays since it is often planted as a garden ornamental,” says Klym. “It grows so quickly that it easily forms a hedge but then it continues to spread and may cause problems with building foundations, road sightlines and native ecosystems.”

CKIPC successfully applied for funding from the Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives Program for the “Not-A-Weed” project in Nelson. CKIPC representatives will conduct an inventory of knotweed in the City of Nelson, contact residents who have knotweed on their property, and will provide information on its control and safe disposal.

For more information on this project, contact the Central Kootenay Invasive Plant Committee at 250-352-1160 or visit www.ckipc.ca.

Warm Fuzzies to...

… Richard from Kozy Heating for saving us from melting and getting our A/C up and running... You saved me from really going “crazy” hehe … The lady for recognizing I had my hands full with my two toddlers and helping me to my van with my bag of sugar. You truly are an angel! … Dennis Hudson for helping us with a lesson on soffit and fascia. You are a busy guy and we appreciate the time you made for us! … Everyone for their thoughts and prayers during Cory’s accident in June. It really made a difference in his recovery! … Our local radio station CIDO for your enjoyable selection of music. It brings back good memories of the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. Keep it rolling! … Etta Sommerfeld (Van Beers), her family, and the Artist Guild for their kind donation to TAPS for the art program. … Great Neighbours, Grace & Gary for keeping our oasis green and damp while we were gallivanting across the country. … Bill and Shirley for the cherries and making me more scared of bears than I already am. … The people of Creston Valley and beyond for buying Shriner tickets. The kids thank you!

Environmental Protection Notice Application for a Permit Under The Provisions of the Environmental Management Act (Section 137) We, Teck Coal Limited, intend to submit this application to the Lieutenant Governor in Council to authorize the discharge of effluent from a sediment pond. The source of discharge is mine affected water in the Dry Creek valley.

The land upon which the facility will be situated is Lot 1, Plan NEP 21818, District Lots 4588, 6755 and 6756, located near Elkford British Columbia, within the Dry Creek watershed. The land upon which the discharge will occur during initial development (Year 1) is Lot 1, Plan NEP 21818, District Lot 4588, located near Elkford, British Columbia, within the Dry Creek watershed.

Afterwards, the land upon which the discharge will occur is Lot 1, Plan NEP 21818, District Lot 4588, located near Elkford, British Columbia within the Fording River valley.

The maximum rate of effluent discharged from this facility will be 1.8 m3/second. The operating period for this facility will be 24 hours/day, 7 days/week.

The discharge will be managed to meet instream site performance objectives of 10 µg/L selenium and 0.38 µg/L cadmium in Dry Creek (as maximum 30-day mean values). The characteristics of the discharge to the Fording River (as maximum 30-day mean values) are as follows: • Total Suspended Solids 50 mg/L • Cadmium 0.0014 mg/L • Nitrate 141 mg/L • Selenium 0.32 mg/L • Sulphate 1,067 mg/L • Total Dissolved Solids 1,982 mg/L The types of treatment to be applied to the discharge are: a diversion structure on Dry Creek will facilitate interception and diversion of mine-affected water from the Dry Creek watershed, a transfer pipeline will convey

mine-affected flows from the diversion structure to a series of three sediment ponds, an outfall structure will discharge water from the sediment pond system to Dry Creek during initial development (Year 1) and a conveyance pipeline system will serve to convey water from the sediment pond system to a discharge location on the Fording River (starting in Year 2). Working in combination with the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan, currently being developed by Teck Coal Limited, this system has been designed to manage water quality in Dry Creek and the Fording River at levels that will not have significant adverse impacts to aquatic life.

Any person who may be adversely affected by the proposed discharge of waste and wishes to provide relevant information may, within 30 days after the last date of posting, publishing, service or display, send written comments to the applicant at: • www.teck.com, using the online feedback form • Email directly to feedbackteckcoal@teck.com • Send to Teck Coal Limited, PO Box 1777, Sparwood, BC V0B 2G0 With a copy to the Minister of Environment at: Minister of Environment c/o Geoff Ingram Executive Assistant Room 112—Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8W 1X4 Geoff.Ingram@gov.bc.ca The identity of any respondents and the contents of anything submitted in relation to this application will become part of the public record.

Mary was born on November 29, 1930 at the Whim Road family farm house in Prince Edward Island. She was the 9th of 10 surviving children born to Mary and Hugh McKinnon; weighing just over two pounds she was wrapped in cotton and oil and kept alive in a shoe box placed on the warmer above the wood stove. Although a child of the depression years, her childhood was rich with family and food that was grown or raised on the farm.

Mary lost her parents while in her teens and left for Halifax, Nova Scotia at the age of eighteen. In 1955 she met and married the love of her life Ed Hornseth, who was a Navymen based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and while they divorced some 30 years ago, their love and support for each other endured to the end. 7hree of their Àve children were born in Halifax and in 1958 Ed, Mary, three toddlers and Mary’s sister (Minnie), piled into the car and headed west to BC where Ed was from.

Cranbrook, Greenwood, Calgary and Creston were brieĂ y visited by the family but )ruitvale become their home in 1963.

Mary was initially terriÀed of the mountains but grew to love the security they provided and vowed never to leave them. Seventeen years passed before her Àrst return to PEI and while afraid of à ying, she returned two more times. Mary loved the open roads and her white 1963 Pontiac Persian convertible. She drove stock cars in the 70’s and won a Powder Puff race; enjoyed many years of bowling and bowled in the BC Seniors Games, while playing Yatzee, cards and bingo throughout her life.

Mary’s greatest accomplishment and love were her Àve children and she was so proud of us all.

During her twenty years as a bartender, she also touched the lives of many people and as she settled with resistance into retirement at 60, she began nurturing her friends and neighbours at the Manor.

Our mom was a great lady, a woman of inner strength and determination, a woman who gave freely of herself to us and others and a woman who aged with grace and gentleness never losing her sense of humour. She was predeceased by her parents, six brothers, two sisters and in 2007 our dad.

She left us peacefully on August 16th and while she is gone in body, her spirit will live on and she will be greatly missed by her 5 children (Charmaine, Glen, Gwen, Lorne and Cindy); 9 grandchildren (Nicole, Brad, Wade, Lea, Bryce, Courtney, Cole, Dylan and Robyn); 10 great grandchildren; her sister, Minnie; nieces and nephews; extended family and many friends.

A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, September 7th at 1:00 pm at her son’s house (Lorne), 2080 Grieve Road in )ruitvale (across from the sawmill). In lieu of à owers, any donations on mom’s behalf to the Trail SPCA would be appreciated.

Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, and the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Authority — to $292,000 spent to install automated slide gates that allow water to be released from Duck Lake prior to spring runoff, and to a 400-metre earthen dike along Leach Lake.

That infrastructure is one of three areas in which DUC helps the Creston Valley, said Knafla.

“If you’re an environmentalist, it enables us to support the whole corridor from Bonners Ferry to Kootenay Lake, which otherwise would get overgrown,” he said, explaining that after dikes were built to protect the valley from flooding, natural waterways had to be supported with manmade infrastructure.

In addition, the Creston Valley Wildelife Management Area’s Ramsar designation as a wetland of international importance brings in visitors from far and wide.

“You have another big place to draw people to the valley,” Knafla said. “It’s a big thing in terms of tourism.”

CUPE strike possible at Kootenay schools in middle of next month

BY MARVIN BEATTY Castlegar News Cherryl MacLeod, president of Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 1285 and an education assistant, has warned that if a deal with the government over wage increases isn't reached soon, there could be a provincewide strike as early as mid-September.

MacLeod represents more than 220 school support staff workers in the east and west Kootenays, including bus drivers, trades people, education assistants, clerical, maintenance and custodial staff.

“Basically, all of the people that keep schools clean, safe and inclusive,” said MacLeod last week. “We've been negotiating with the government for our collective agreement since it expired over a year ago. We've been trying to negotiate but talks broke off again at the beginning of August.”

The local president said the union has been in a legal strike position since June and has not had a wage adjustment in four years.

There are no new negotiation dates set at this point. MacLeod said the government made it clear they weren't prepared to discuss wages, but she and the other six union presidents are prepared to go back to the table on short notice.

"They can phone today and say the government wants to talk to us and I'll head back to Vancouver to try and bargain," she said. "If that doesn't happen by the middle of September, we will be on strike."

Macleod said the union is negotiating for increases that have been offered to CUPE members in post-secondary education; a two

per cent funded increase for the next two years. Failing that, a 72-hour strike notice could be given at any time. When the strike vote was held in the east and west Kootenays, MacLeod said the results were 89 per cent in favour.

Scott Sutherland, spokesperson for the Ministry of Education, said on Aug. 21 that the province’s lead negotiator, Peter Cameron, has contacted the bargaining committee representing the support worker unions.

"They've been discussing meeting dates to get back to bargaining and both sides are optimistic they'll sit down in the near future," said Sutherland.

"Cameron is involved as the government's lead on this but he's there to assist the employers and when you get down to it, it's not the government who is the employer in this, it's the school districts. And when we say school districts, it's actually the trustees — the boards of education are the employers in this instance."

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 31

In an interview with the Trail Daily Times in May, SD20 board chair Darrel Ganzert said he understands where CUPE is coming from but said the board was limited at the bargaining table because most requests had a monetary impact.

“For a group of trustees, who cannot raise taxes and simply rely on what money we get from the government, all we are faced with doing is laying more people off,” said Ganzert. “Our system is stretched so thin now and it's more than embarrassing when you take a look at the state of our schools. They're not as clean as they used to be, most all of them need paint and many of them need new roofs.”

The co-operative gains mandate the government is negotiating under essentially asks that funds for increases for wages need to be found from within existing budgets or through union concessions on things such as benefits.

MacLeod said the bargaining process

was affected when Cameron became involved.

“It set us back,” she said. “We had somebody new as a lead and we didn't have the people from BCPSEA that we were used to dealing with.”

She said they thought the change might work out better with Cameron having closer links to government but that it didn't turn out that way.

“He called us back to the table and didn't have any way to give us a wage adjustment,” she said. “I don't want to put my members out on strike but we do need to make government aware that we're done.”

MacLeod said she didn't feel the union was making unreasonable demands, adding that the average K-12 worker has an annual income of about $24,000 per year.

CUPE represents more than 27,000 B.C. education workers in the kindergarten-Grade 12 system.

New name and new start for private gym

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

It’s the beginning of a new era for Creston’s only private gym, now known as Simply Fit, which was taken over by Chris and Allia Schofer at the beginning of this month.

“I think there’s still a need for a private gym in the Creston Valley,” said Chris. “I think that this was on its way out. It needed a fresh look and some change.”

The immediate changes include a paint job — with vibrant red, blue and orange walls replacing mint green — and equipment rearranged for a better flow of traffic.

The gym, formerly known as Creston Fitness Centre, outlasted No Boundaries Health and Fitness when business at both plummeted after the gym at the Creston and District Community Complex opened in 2010. Original owner Dave Perrin bought it from Charlene Pompu, who had the business since 2004, last year.

Chris has had his eye on the business for a while, but didn’t drop everything to take it on — both he and Allia kept their day jobs.

“In the past, you could probably have made a living at it,” said Chris. “The plan is not to lose money, but not to make a bunch, either.”

But it was important to maintain the facility for the fitness-minded members of the community who enjoy it.

“There’s something about the atmosphere in a private gym,” said Allia.

More changes than a paint job are in store, though. A new sign by Cory Cannon will be installed Friday, new equipment will soon be added and a juice bar is also on its way.

Simply Fit owners Allia and Chris Schofer with their kids, Cooper and Connar, in the newly repainted, reorganized gym.

“We’re putting the kids’ room back in, so parents who need to bring their kids while they work out can,” Chris said.

Knowledgeable help will be readily available: A new employee is a registered holistic nutritionist, who is study-

ing to be a personal trainer, which Chris already is.

And in addition to lower membership fees, the gym will once again offer products, such as protein and pre-workout supplements, and fitness books by former

Brian Lawrence

Creston resident Nick Nilsson.

“I’m hoping the change will attract people back,” said Chris.

Simply Fit will hold its grand opening on Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., with free admission and more.
