MP says Parliament session will be productive

New book chronicles battle with Lyme disease

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff All I can do is note that something inside me has fundamentally changed and not for the better. It occurs to me that I may be dying; that in some dark corner of my anatomy an important cluster of cells has charted a fatal course and one day soon someone will slap a name on the illness that’s siphoning off my life.

Vanessa Farnsworth feels lucky that she has lived to tell her story about five years of suffering from a bacterial disease that she apparently contracted from a tick bite that she wasn’t aware of. Book readers are lucky that she is an experienced and exceptionally good writer, up to the task of relating a powerful and horrifying personal story while at the same time educating readers on the science of the difficult-to-diagnose tick-borne diseases.

In her recently released book, Rain on a Distant Roof: A Personal Journey Through Lyme Disease in Canada, the Lister resident weaves journal entries with extensive research, much of it undertaken in an effort to come to terms with symptoms that pushed her to consider suicide on more than one occasion.

Vanessa and Michael Farnsworth moved to their rural property south of Goat River in the mid-2000s. Together they ran an Internet tech company. She pursued her vocation as a professional writer and pursued her passion for gardening. She became known to Advance readers as author of a weekly column, The Garden Muse.

Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks says the new session of Parliament promises to be a productive one.

Wilks spoke to the Advance from his parliamentary office immediately after the 2013-14 session’s predictably raucus first question period on Oct. 17. MPs, he said, had concluded the morning with a tribute to the citizens of Lac-Mégantic, Que., where work to restore the town continues.

It wasn’t the destruction of Lac-Mégantic’s downtown core by a runaway freight train that had Opposition MPs up in arms, though. Prime Minister Stephen Harper wasn’t in the House, having jetted off to Europe to sign a trade agreement.

“It’s hard to believe,” he said about the Opposition’s criticism. “It’s the second-most comprehensive trade deal that we have, creating 80,000 jobs.”

Turning to the throne speech, which was delivered in the Senate on Oct. 16, Wilks said budget forecasts continue to be optimistic.

“Nationally, I think for me, the most important one for me is that our government is still on target to balance the budget by 2015,” he said.

“As a result of that we’ll put a freeze on the overall operating budget which will continue to restrain hiring. “ In anticipation of a balanced budget in the foreseeable future, Wilks said the government is preparing legislation to require governments to balance budgets.

Poppies will be available in local businesses starting today, and this year the legion has also added black rubber wrist bands with a white “Lest we forget” and red poppy on them.

Lyme

From page 1 And then, at nearly the instant that a dentist’s needle filled with Novocain emptied into her jaw, she started a deathly downward spiral into an illness that took six months to diagnose and five years to get to what she describes as 90 per cent of her former self.

Now, after a year with no major health setbacks, she knows she might never return to her former self. Gone are the memories of her wedding and graduation from university, among many others. But she has transformed from being quiet and shy into a confident and outspoken woman.

It’s a tradeoff she’s willing to accept.

Now she is about embark on a national tour to promote her book. Even more importantly, she wants to educate and enlighten the country’s population about Lyme disease and other wood tick-related illnesses.

Here’s what really boils my blood: I was diagnosed with Lyme disease months ago and not one doctor has been ready, willing, or able to tell me anything about the disease. Nothing. Nada. Zip. It’s not like I haven’t asked. I’ve asked every doctor unfortunate to wander into my sight to tell me what’s happening to me, where these awful symptoms are coming from, and why I don’t appear to be cured, when I took the antibiotics I was given like the good little patient I can sometimes be. I keep asking these questions and I keep getting nowhere.

“It was everything — every human illness you could possibly get was all at the same time,” said Farnsworth in an interview. “I didn’t think I was going to live. I thought what I was doing with those journal entries was recording my own death. At the beginning I didn’t even know what that death was going to be from. It struck me early on that something extraordinary was happening to me, so different than anything else. This was not the flu, not something I was famil-

iar with. And I could not understand why my entire body was going haywire and yet somehow I was going to survive—that didn’t make sense to me.

“It was six months after the whole thing started before someone put a name — actually two names as you learn in the book — on what the illness was. But it was still very clear to me that I wasn’t going to survive unless something extraordinary happened.”

Vanessa Farnsworth The “journal entries”, the paragraphs that appear in italics in this story, were recreated by Farnsworth from handwritten notes and computer files that she wrote whenever she found the strength and coherence. If they read like scenes from an Alfred Hitchcock movie, the narration that fills the rest of the book sounds like it could have been written by David Suzuki — clear, rational and true to the science that she delved into, largely as a survival mechanism.

“When I started to put this book together, I made a conscious decision to turn the Internet off,” she said. “I want to concentrate on the science, so I got and read every scientific paper I could find on the subject.”

When she completed the book last spring, Farnsworth submitted the manuscript to four publishers. One replied

immediately, saying “they loved the book but had no idea how to market it.”

A second, Signature Editions in Winnipeg, quickly snapped up the opportunity to publish it.

“They knew exactly how they wanted to market it,” she said.

Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases affect only a small portion of the population. Now. But with climate changes leading to warmer winters, ticks are no longer killed by icy temperatures at the rate they once were. Within only a few years, it is estimated that most of the Canadian population will be susceptible to the bacteria the pinpointsized insects carry. And Farnsworth is eager to share her information.

“There is no chance that the number of Lyme disease cases reported by the Public Health Agency of Canada is even remotely accurate,” she said.

“The failure of the agency to recognize the existence of the majority of Lyme cases in this country is increasingly placing the health of Canadians at risk.”

A Canadian tour will help, and she’s already in demand to speak at conferences. Creston Valley residents get their chance to hear readings from the book and to learn more about Lyme disease and its current state of diagnosis and treatment at a book launch this week. Rain on a Distant Roof: A Personal Journey Through Lyme Disease in Canada will be officially launched at 7 p.m. Oct. 25 at the Snoring Sasquatch.

Everyone is welcome.

My body temperature now chronically hovers at a hair below 35 C. Cold radiates from my bones. Sometimes I shake uncontrollably and yet all that shaking fails to produce any heat. It just makes me tired and confused and desperate for something, anything, that will bring just a hint of warmth. So I pile on sweaters and wrap myself in blankets, waiting for a St. Bernard to arrive with a caskful of brandy, which I won’t be able to drink, but at least I can look at it.

And I can hug the beast that brought it.

Creston RCMP remind residents to lock vehicles

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Creston RCMP reported another rash of entries into unlocked vehicles late Sunday night.

“Please lock your vehicles,” was the message from Const. Dave Skretting. “It’s an easy thing to do and most of these incidents only involve people who are looking for unlocked doors.”

Skretting was busy fielding reports and didn’t have an estimate of how many vehicles were entered at press time.

Police Beat In other RCMP news, Creston police responded to 59 calls for service from Oct. 14-20, Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said on Monday.

October 14 •When police responded to a complaint of a break and entry to a Church Road residence in Kitchener, they found a frequent customer, who

Wilks

From page 1 “As well, the government will continue to review federal assets, and where it’s in the best interests of Canadians they will be sold. A good example of that in the Kootenays is the divesting of the Dominion Coal Blocks, which are just in between Fernie and Sparwood.

There is no need to hold on to them.”

Focusing on employment for youth is important, Wilks said.

“Although the youth unemployment rate is much lower than in other countries there’s far more we can do. We will provide opportunities for work experience in the high demand fields such as trades— we need to get youth more involved in the trades. As most people know we’ve had to resort to temporary foreign workers.

“We really need kids in Grades 10, 11 and 12 to start focusing in on trades, if that’s their desire in life. We certainly need electricians, plumbers, welders — you name it, we need them.

“There’s been a lot of misguided thinking in the past about trades, and kids hear, ‘Oh, you’re going to be a plumber?’ But the reality is that Mr. Plumber makes $40-$60 an hour. The trades will always be in demand.”

Another trade-related issue is the challenge workers face in moving from province to province, where there is no consistency in their certification.

“We’re going to improve credential recognition all across the country to enable the free movement of skilled workers because as you know right now sometimes there’s barriers inter-provincially,” he said.

“We’re going to do our best to

MP David Wilks remove those barriers so that those skilled workers can move from province to province to province without being inhibited in any way.”

Acknowledging that it can be all too easy for governments to simply pile on legislation, Wilks said the Conservative government will, ironically, “introduce legislation to enshrine the one-for-one rule, so if we create a new legislation, we have to remove one.”

The government’s stated intent to get involved with consumer issues like cable bundling and cellphones was national news immediately after the throne speech was delivered.

“I think a lot of people raised their eyebrows yesterday about reducing roaming charges and about the bundling of cable channels,” he admitted. “It is a small thing, but I think it’s something that Canadians have talked about for a long time.

Whether one agrees that it’s of national importance or not, the fact of the matter is that we, as a federal government, regulate the CRTC (Canadian Radiotelevision and Telecommunications Commission) and as a result we can direct how we want that to happen.”

Another communications issue piqued Wilks’s interest.

“The federal government has done a good job of providing broadband to rural areas but we could do better. We could do way better. So we’re going to focus on that — getting high-speed to rural Canadians. I’ve got a couple of thoughts on that but I want to run them by the minister first — I think they’re pretty radical.

We need to really lower the price and make things really competitive.“ As a retired RCMP officer, law and order and justice issues are always near the top of Wilks’s priority list.

“I’m quite happy to see we will be reintroducing legislation to ensure that public safety comes first,” he said. “That sounds pretty broad, but one of the things we want to do is end sentencing discounts for child sex offenders. Right now they can get one-third or two-thirds off. We want to stop that. We want to stop automatic release of serious repeat offenders because they are still eligible for release at one-third or two-

Whether it’s lux style, heavy-duty performance, safety or savings, we’re bringing you the best insight and offers each week in our new Driveway feature, debuting this week on pages 16-18.

“Our local auto businesses are essential contributors to our economy and supporters of the Creston Valley,” said Advance publisher Lorne Eckersley. “In addition to custom stories, Driveway showcases what’s hot on the local lots plus parts and service offers.”

“Today, we are excited to introduce Driveway — our new weekly automotive feature, designed to inform and entertain with brightly written stories from our made-in-B.C. team,” said Driveway editor Keith Morgan, who welcomes input at keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca.

Zack Spencer, co-host of Canada’s highestrated auto show, Driving Television, and voice of a nationally syndicated radio show, will tell readers what is hot and not among the new models.

Women play a decision-making role in more than 80 per cent of car purchases, and Alexandra Straub will help them make the right decision. In Near New, technical wizard Bob McHugh will pick out the best in “previously loved” cars. Ian Harwood will join the pages soon with his column, Just Trucks.

“Yours truly will bring you the latest news from all of the international launches and auto shows, and make sure Driveway speaks to all of our readers, not just car nuts,” said Morgan.

Blair Qualey, president and CEO of the BC New Car Dealers Association, is also enthusiastic.

“The launch of Driveway is good news for readers as well as the B.C. auto industry, which is a $10 billion business that employs 34,000 direct and indirect jobs in the new car industry in this province,” he said. “Car buyers throughout the province will now get the sort of auto news and information previously enjoyed only by residents of the larger metro areas. The breadth of the coverage will benefit new car dealerships of all brands by exposing a large new readership to their products. A knowledgeable buyer is good for all brands.”

“We want Canadians to know that we are doing our best to provide good air quality. How we are going to do that, I don’t know yet,” he said.

He wrapped up the conversation with comments on the Senate, where controversy has swirled for the past couple of years.

“I think people probably expected more about the Senate, but the reality is that we’re waiting for the ruling from the Supreme Court about what we can and can’t do. Hopefully, the Supreme Court is going to give us some guidance that there is the potential for the federal government to make amendments to the Senate without opening the Constitution. If that happens, I think you’ll see our government move forward very quickly. I think that most Canadians and most parliamentarians know there is a need for a change.”

thirds of sentence. That’s ridiculous to me — I think that if you are sentenced to seven years for an armed robbery, that means seven years. It doesn’t mean you’ve been a good person in jail so you get out in four or sometimes three years.

“The most significant thing to me is one that I’ve advocated since I’ve come here and I’m glad to see the government is going to do something about it. We’ll change the law so that a life sentence means a sentence for life. So if you’re sentenced to life for first-degree murder, enjoy your life, because you’re going to park it in a cell. Some will see that is really harsh — well, go ask the family who won’t see their loved one again.”

Environmental issues didn’t take up much space in the throne speech, but Wilks said they haven’t been ignored, and that the government plans action to improve air quality nationwide.

Making a bundle

My eyebrows raised involuntarily during the run-up to last week’s throne speech. The federal government was floating the idea of dealing — it’s not exactly clear how — with cellphone roaming charges and the packaging of television channels by cable and satellite signal providers. This is, after all, a government that does nothing without considering how it will affect the business sector.

So let’s get the delicious irony out of the way first thing. The same government that loves to bundle various and sundry legislation into massive omnibus bills suddenly has an issue with cable and satellite folks bundling individual channels into packages? Only in Canada, you say?

Let’s start with why I think the Conservatives (Liberal governments did this, too, though not quite to the extent we’ve seen in the last few years) package often completely unrelated legislation into huge omnibus bills. Well, partly because it’s a great divide and conquer approach. Put enough eggs in a basket and some will look great and some will look crappy. But who’s going to object to a nice big basket of eggs when there are only a few they don’t need?

Omnibus bills also make it hard for the opposition and media to focus. Single in on one or two issues and the government has a built in “yeah, but” excuse — there are 50 pieces of legislation here but you only want to talk about one or two?

Now, why do cable and satellite companies bundle channels into packages? The obvious answer is that it’s more convenient and less costly for billing purposes. Offering 200 channels that subscribers can choose from individually is a greater

Marijuana arrests make no sense

OpiniOn Line

Teachings don’t agree with Bible

saurs and, of course, all life as we know it had to start over from scratch.

The facilitator then passed around a rock with iridium in it, and most kids passed it on to the next person without a thought until it got back to the facilitator.

Many parents are busy (including myself) and don’t have time to question what the system is teaching, but I wasn’t buying the theory (which is taught like a fact).

Some quick facts on iridium: It is the second-most dense metal on Earth, it is mined mostly in South Africa, Canada and Russia (very little, if any, in Mexico), it is very rare and seems to be most abundant in meteors and asteroids, it is obtained commercially as a byproduct from nickel and copper mining and processing, and it has a very high melting point and is therefore great in spark plugs.

My two-part question, which I didn’t get to ask in Drumheller (because I am not an expert in minerals, and evidently neither is the paleontologist) is this: If iridium is only found in meteors and settled in the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary 65 million years ago, why does most of the mining not take place near the Gulf of Mexico because of the dense fallout of the heavy metal? Why do the fossil records show it in the polystrate forests running through the sediment layers, including that which is said to be 65 millions years old?

I am trying to be reasonable, but I am tired of the cramming of poor evidence to try and prove that dinosaurs were here millions of years ago, and that I am somehow related to a snake. Every creature, including dinosaurs, is creatively and wonderfully made, and when they find human remains among the fossil records it is always dismissed with another theory. I know for many I am foolish for believing the lies found in the Bible. But for those who think I’m foolish, do you not see the absurd nature with which we are being indoctrinated?

Also, for those who think that I am foolish, check out some things with logical thinking (research the hydroplate theory) and for those who are not scared to open a Bible, read Job chapter 40.

Bill Dyck Creston

To the Editor: I was recently privileged enough to spend a few days with my son and daughter on a field trip. We started the trip with a visit to the science centre in Calgary and then went on to the world famous Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller. I was amazed as were the kids at the scientific advancements and of course the awesome dinosaurs.

I, like many others, view the facilitators of these programs as experts in their respective fields, and in no way want to disrespect any of their teachings, but I couldn’t help but wonder how we as parents and teachers seem to turn a blind eye to some teachings that are just plain ridiculous. The one that got me thinking the most was how science is using the geological sediment layers as a way to measure the age of the Earth. As one child asked, “How do you know?”

The child was given the iridium theory. A meteor hit the earth several million years ago in the area we currently know as the Gulf of Mexico, and scattered a metal known as iridium in the crust layer known as the CretaceousPaleogene boundary, killing the dino-

To the Editor: After the Thanksgiving weekend, some spray-painted graffiti was found on the Lower Wynndel Road tunnel, including “Grad 2014” and some other images and writing. Those of you who saw the graffiti probably came to the same conclusion — that current Prince Charles Secondary School Grade 12 students were responsible. We do not know if that is the case or not, but even the possibility was disturbing.

In a meeting with the Grade 12s, we discussed the social and legal implications of such actions and volunteer Grade 12 students helped remove the graffiti the afternoon of Oct. 17. Our message is simple and clear: We value our positive relationship with the community, appreciate the scholarships and bursaries that this community generates, along with all the other donations

To the Editor: (Re: “This is the Life: Taking the high road”, Oct. 3 Advance, page 6) Lorne Eckersley said, “Crown Counsel adamantly refuses to prosecute charges on small amounts of marijuana possession because a) the courts are already backed up and b) judges have long since stopped attempting to use fines and jail sentences to stop what is essentially a tidal wave of victimless crime.”

However, it is a myth that you can’t get arrested for pot possession in B.C. For example, the rate of criminal charges for marijuana possession in Creston has risen dramatically in recent years. In 2003, there were two pot possession charges in Creston (rural). In 2011, there were 23 pot possession charges in Creston (rural).

Sensible BC is a group that is working to decriminalize the simple possession of cannabis in British Columbia through the Sensible Policing Act. A large majority of BC citizens agree that cannabis possession should not lead to a criminal record. Obviously, the majority of people realize that charging adults for simple possession of marijuana is a huge waste of taxpayers’ money and our police have much better things to do.

This issue is clearly not a grey area.

It just makes sense.

It is unfortunate that someone felt that this was an appropriate way to showcase their enthusiasm. Based on the statistical probability that the vandalism was done by someone in the PCSS family, we apologize specifically to the Town of Creston and YRB, and in general to the community.

Food sources are changing To the Editor: Will Prime Minister Harper continue to support Monsanto? The people of Creston, the people of Canada and people all over the world want an end to genetically engineered food, they want the food that is in the food chain now labelled and they want Monsanto stopped from poisoning our environment. We need to give dignity to farmers and gardeners. It is nature, the soil and the farmers who will feed the world, not Monsanto, not genetically modified crops and not the technocrats. People from all walks of life in all parts of the world are coming alive, impelled to create a more just and sustainable society.

In his book, Blessed Unrest, Paul Hawken estimates that the number of grassroots groups and nongovernmental organizations for social justice, indigenous rights and environmental sanity numbers two million. There are forest defenders, military resisters, designers of windmills, urban farmers, occupiers of Wall Street, teachers in favelas and many more.

We see the changes happening in our valley, too. More and more locally produced food is becoming available — real, fresh organic milk in returnable glass bottles, cheese, eggs from free-run chicken, fruit juice and more. The valley is on the way to become self-sufficient instead of bringing it in from far away places and polluting our Earth by burning fossil fuel.

In the Agricultural Revolution of tens of thousand years ago, the domestication of plants and animals led to a radical shift in the way we live. In the Industrial Revolution that began just a few hundred years ago, a similar dramatic transition took place.

Right now, a shift of comparable scope and magnitude is occurring. We are in the transition from a doomed economy of unlimited industrial growth to a life sustaining recovery of the world to save our sacred Earth from total destruction. The transition is already well under way; many people hear within them the sounds of the Earth crying.

Like all true revolutions, it belongs to the people and it is happening all over the world. Future generations looking back at this historical moment may call it the time of “the great turning”. Most of our governments are so outdated and so far behind the times that it would be too dangerous to wait for them to act.

Singing and music part of the fun at TAPS

If you come to Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors around 11 a.m. on Thursdays, you’ll find a lot of activity as folks who’ve been out on the walking program return to the centre. The smells of lunch being cooked will be in the air.

Looking around, you’d see beaming faces, quietly singing ones, people helping each other find the pages, and great smiles when a song goes particularly well. Some sit quietly in the midst of the singing, and sometimes there’s a requested solo. Meanwhile, there’s a growing audience of those who have come to eat lunch together for whom the music is background to their catching up with each other, for the caring atmosphere or just being in the company of old and new friends.

Enjoying Shrubs need drought, root serenity a key stress to encourage fall colour to awakening A

Zen's-Eye View Kuya Minogue

In my last two columns, I presented two of the eight practices of awakening that Buddha taught on his deathbed. The first is, “Have few desires.” The second is “Know how much is enough.” The third awakening is to enjoy serenity. This is to be away from the crowds and stay alone in a quiet place. It is called “enjoying serenity in seclusion.”

The Buddha said, “Monks, if you want to have the joy of serenity, you should stay away from crowds and spend time in a quiet place. If you are attached to noise and busyness, you bind yourself to worldly matters like an old elephant that is stuck in a swamp and cannot get out of it. This practice is called enjoying serenity in seclusion.” He added that by temporarily leaving behind your relations, as well as others, and retreating into a quiet place, you can abandon all distractions to your spiritual development and enter a highly enjoyable and serene state.

Now, this is a difficult undertaking in today’s world.

Ever judge a book by its cover? Hear the real story. Check out a living book.

The Creston Public Library’s Living Books speaker series is a way for community members to learn from each other. Living books are real people, your friends and neighbours, volunteering to share aspects of their own story. Through living books, the library seeks to encourage the sharing of knowledge and passion between people. Each month, the library hosts a get-together where a member of your community shares their personal experiences. Topics are varied, from art to travel to local history to coping with loss, and everything in between.

Attendees of the speaker series learn more about the people in their community and their diverse backgrounds and expertise.

On Oct. 26, recently retired counsellor Peggy Ness will share her story: “Honour Your Wisdom, Live Your Purpose”. Ness’s journey of overcoming addiction and following her path of healing and inner discovery allowed her to honour the wisdom of her experience and live her passion and purpose.

Life is a series of transitions, some more challenging than others. Ness is currently in the transition into retirement after counseling for almost 30

years. Her employment path has included careers in the medical field as a registered lab technologist, in management as the assistant director of the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Centre, and as an addictions cousellor.

Peggy Ness Ness grew up in Montreal. She left her job as a lab technologist, wanting to work with people instead of test tubes, and in 1981 she moved to Vancouver. She began working in a Downtown Eastside emergency shelter and a year later admitted her own addiction to alcohol. Her desire for sobriety lead her on a path of healing, growth and self-discovery that enabled

her to have immense compassion for the struggles of others because she’d been there herself. Ness has always been passionate and dedicated about touching people’s lives and inspiring them to live their fullest potential.

For Ness, the word retirement never meant doing nothing. Currently a life transition coach, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) practitioner, speaker and author, Ness is the founder and owner of Freedom Beyond 50 Coaching Services. She has created the valuable and effective four-part video series, Four Critical Stress-Busting Tools that Every Woman Needs to Know, has recently presented workshops on mindfulness and transforming beliefs on aging, and has written the ebook, How to Create a Vibrant Life Rich with Meaning. Her focus is to provide transformative coaching to help women 50 and over to live their lives with meaning and fulfillment, and celebrate the possibilities ahead of them.

Interwoven in the tapestry of Ness’s life are strong spiritual beliefs, a deep desire to understand and connect with all life, and awareness that there is so much more to life than what we are conscious of.

Hear Ness share her eclectic story and some of the lessons she has learned to date in her life walk at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 26 at the Creston Valley Public Library.

Admission is free. For more information, contact the library at 250-428-4141.

From page 9 Even during our meditation retreats at the Creston zendo, trucks and motorcycles belch noise, the voices of children from the Adam Robertson Elementary School playground penetrate the meditative stillness, and the barking of the neighbours’ dogs disturb the silence. I once read an article about a man who searched the planet for a place where he could not hear the noise of machinery.

Finally, he thought he had found such a place in the heart of the old growth fir on the Olympic Peninsula. He was settling down to enjoy the silence when two jets roared overhead. There are few places, if any, where we can enjoy true silence.

On the surface, Buddha talks about seclusion and keeping away from crowds. Looking deeper, however, we find it’s through attachment to our lifestyle and being bound by busyness that we hinder our enjoyment of serenity. The truth is that even in the middle of a busy day we can follow Buddha’s suggestion and find the quiet place that exists within each of us. We don’t have to lock ourselves into an isolation chamber to find inner stillness. We can take a few minutes to go for a walk, or sit silently on a bench. Inner stillness is available anywhere, anytime. It only takes 12 minutes of silent sitting for the brain to enter an alpha state.

This way, you can find that quiet place and enjoy serenity in the middle of a busy life.

Or, better still, you can step out of your life for a few days and attend a silent meditation retreat that teaches you to still the busyness of your mind. There is a quiet secluded place inside you.

When you learn to enter this place, regardless of what happens, you will abide in serenity.

Suggested practice: In the next two weeks, create some time in each day to sit quietly by yourself. Enjoy the serenity of temporarily leaving behind all the concerns of your daily life.

Mount Thompson lookout slated for removal

Many people in this valley have never been on Mount Thompson’s top. Some don’t even know there is an old fire lookout on the peak. Even some that were born in the valley have never made the trip. The present lookout has been a landmark since the late 1950s and the top has had a lookout landmark since the early 1930s.

bished or are going to be refurbished, the Mount Thompson lookout is slated to be removed (destroyed) in the spring, unless a local group or organization who is willing to take it over comes forward. Up to now it has been a primitive emergency shelter, of historical interest, and a focal point for many hikers and visitors to the valley.

If you know more about this lookout spot and/or Mount Thompson, give a holler!

Ed McMackin is a biologist by profession but a naturalist and hiker by nature. He can be reached at 250-866-5747.

This 1940s photo, given to Out There columnist Ed McMackin, shows Creston Valley residents visiting the Mount Thompson fire lookout.

T eachers’ reminders f f

or a sa e and happy halloween

• Go out with a buddy, not alone.

• Wear make-up, not masks.

• Never carry firecrackers.

• Use crosswalks and carry a flashlight.

• Check your treats for tricks.

The first “official” access to the fire lookout location was probably by an early 1930s pack trail that is still evident on the lower part of the mountain as a hiking trail. The upper route of the trail was likely obliterated by construction of the road that is now the Mount Thompson Forest Service Road. The lower part of the pack trail is a fine exhibition of good engineering as it contours through the gullies and around the steep shoulders of the mountain slopes. The grade was eased by a number of switchbacks, which made it suitable for pack animals carrying supplies to the fire lookout. This trail may have been the main access to the fire lookout until the late 1940s when a road, now deactivated, was constructed on the south side of Sullivan Creek.

The lookout crew, usually only one person, used the trail along with many local people who went up to pick huckleberries and who sometimes continued on to visit the fire lookout and whoever was keeping a watch for smoke. Of course, the lookout person would be somewhere else when the fire danger was low.

The first lookout shelter was likely a canvas tent. A later structure appears to be a six foot-bysix foot “cabin” mounted on four 40- or 50-foot poles, braced by more poles and accessed by several rickety pole ladders that led to a hatch in the floor. The present lookout, when it was in use, was much more elaborate, being furnished with several wood chairs, a cot, pots and pans, dishes, a gas stove, a table and a sink, and, of course, personal belongings and tools of the trade. Some of these would be binoculars, a fire finder, maps and even fire fighting equipment.

Additions to the structure would be lightning rods and cables, plus a list of instructions in case of an approaching lightning storm. Exit the top of the mountain or go down in the bottom level of the lookout, get down low, stay dry, sit with legs pulled up in wood chairs with glass insulators on the legs and stay away from metal objects would be some of the instructions of a list of, say, 15 items.

In the days when only the trail went to the lookout, people everywhere did a lot more walking. On Mount Thompson, hikers would hike right from the bottom up the trail to the lookout. A few people do that now and some access the Thompson Range from ravines farther south. From the present top and fire lookout, the Rim Trail leads along the crest to the south over several humps of the range to a high point where one can behold another excellent view of the Kootenay River valley, Duck and Kootenay lakes, and the surrounding mountains.

Today Mount Thompson and the old lookout are commonly accessed in summer by a high clearance four-wheel-drive vehicle over a rough forest service road and, in winter, by snowmobile or on foot. A visit to the top of Thompson is a great way to gain a new appreciation of this sea of mountains and valleys. On clear days, one can spot Hulme Peak, Haystack Mountain and even Fisher Peak near Cranbrook.

Occasionally, one can get a wildlife “tour” up there. One visitor saw a movement in the doorway to the lower part of the lookout. On approaching the door, a mountain goat exited and headed away over the mountain. Inside it must have found the old mattress a cozy resting spot. So it is still in use by “some”.

The old, but solid, fire lookout is not destined to be around much longer. While other lookouts, with strong community support, have been refur-

Prepare for Flu Season

STAY RESTED – Be sure to take the time to rest if you feel something coming on, and don’t go into work if you wake up with a fever, aches and pains, or are coughing, sniffling, and sneezing.

WASH YOUR HANDS – one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of illness. The cold and flu viruses can spread through indirect contact such as touching objects like door handles, and can live for 2 to 8 hours on surfaces.

DON’T SHARE FOOD AND BEVERAGES – Avoid sharing straws, bottles, snacks and utensils with others, especially if you are sick.

COVER YOUR SNEEZES AND COUGHS - Cough or sneeze into your sleeve if you do not have a tissue handy. Lead by example and teach your family to follow suit.

GET A FLU SHOT - The North American vaccine is developed each year to work against three strains of influenza virus, based on trends seen in the Southern Hemisphere. The best time for vaccination is early October to mid-November. www.newscanada.com

Welcome to the driver’s seat

In a two-hour drive, the only time I dropped the anchors was when one of Amsterdam’s kazillion cyclists cut in front of me.

KEITH MORGAN

The future is electric AMSTERDAM – BMW has joined the race for the electric car dollar.

On the evidence of two days driving the funky-looking all-electric i3 through the narrow streets of old Amsterdam and alongside the picturesque canals of rural Holland, the German manufacturer may have a winner.

For starters, it is simply great fun to drive. The lithium-ion battery, encased in an aluminum cage below the five-seater cabin, provides enough instant zap to the electric motor to propel the car smoothly to 100 klicks in less than eight seconds. Left the stopwatch

at home, but counting “one-and-two etc.” to count seconds, my lips barely mouthed “six” before the speedo leapt from 80 to 120 km/h while passing.

It handles beautifully at any speed and hugs the road; thanks to the technology-laden aluminum platform, that gives it a very low centre of gravity. Turns on a Euro too, as we found during the many U-turns made on blocked streets.

Of course, F1 take-offs will suck the battery dry somewhat more quickly but you need not be a snail in the so-called Comfort mode to achieve the advertised 160 kilometres range on a full

Best Classic Cars For Ten Grand Or Less Rob Sass

Most of the focus on the collector car world comes from televised auctions where six-figure cars are the norm, so it’s easy to conclude that the average person is priced out of the collector car world.

But the fact of the matter is there are still plenty of interesting collectible cars out there for under 10 grand. Granted, they tend to be from the 1970s and 1980s rather than the 1950s or 1960s, but they’re all fun to drive and relatively easy to live with. Here are five of our favorites: 1. 1985-93 Ford Mustang: The third generation or “Fox” platform Mustang brought affordable V-8 muscle back to the masses. Although it was introduced in 1979, better breathing cylinder heads and a re-designed four-barrel carburetor in 1985 pushed horsepower above 200 for the first time since the early 1970s. The relatively light and simple design of the car made the best use of the newfound ponies. While the oldest are just under 30 years old, the collector world is start-

ing to wake up. Still, nice 5.0-liter V-8 examples of all three body styles (coupe, hatchback and convertible) are still available in LX and GT trim for 10 grand or less.

2. 1966-77 Ford Bronco: The Bronco pushes the 10 grand budget the most and you’ll have to look hard to find an unrusted or unmodified original Bronco in this price range, but they do occasionally lurk on Craigslist. Competition for the likes of the International Harvester Scout, early Broncos look right in the way that early Land Rovers do and collectors have taken a big shine to them lately. Buy now.

3. 1965-69 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa coupe: The poor Corvair.

Shunned by Chevy fans and import fans alike, it really is a poor-man’s Porsche, with styling on the second generation cars as nice as anything to come out of Germany, Italy or the U.S. at that time. Corvairs pioneered the use of turbocharging, and later cars could be made to handle quite well with some relatively inexpensive modifications, in spite of what Ralph Nader said. Incidentally, the 50th anniversary of the book “Unsafe at Any Speed” is coming up the year after next. Good reason to buy a Corvair, we think. Jay Leno loves his red Corsa Coupe.

more over the last five years. All have one thing in common — they’re air cooled and the engine is in the back. Watercooled front-engine Porsches have yet to see the love from collectors, and we think that the 944 is one of the best of the bunch. A derivative of the nicely balanced but underpowered 924, the fender bulges and smoother and more powerful balance shaft-equipped twin-cam four was just what Dr. Porsche ordered to make the 944 a credible performance car.

Maintenance doesn’t come cheaply (break a timing belt and you’ll wish you hadn’t been born), but the 944 is a bargainpriced precision instrument for dissecting curvy back roads.

5. 1976 Chevrolet Corvette: Malaise-era Corvettes get a bum rap from most Corvette fans but in reality, they’re quite nice and anything but pathetically slow. The move from gross to net horsepower makes it seem as though power was down more than it really was, and mid-1970s Corvettes came in some great colors with nice options like competition-inspired gymkhana suspension and aluminum wheels. Looks weren’t really compromised by bumper standards with Chevy’s solution of hiding the bumpers under body-colored urethane panels among the best of any manufacturer.

Creston ambulance times fastest in Kootenays GREG NESTEROFF Nelson Star

If you have a medical emergency in the Kootenays, it’s best to be in Creston, judging by statistics from the BC Ambulance Service.

In 2012, Creston’s average response time to Code 3 calls — requiring lights and sirens — was nine minutes and 20 seconds, better than Cranbrook (10:01), Nelson (11:06), Castlegar (10:42), Trail (11:16) or Grand Forks (12:30).

However, all were slower than the nine-minute standard suggested by the US Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services, a benchmark reached by only 10 communities in the province last year.

Creston also posted the fastest times in the region in 2010 and 2011. The slowest response times in West Kootenay/Boundary last year were in Christina Lake (27:05), Rock Creek (26:27), and Kaslo (24:05). The former two don’t have ambulance stations, but the latter does.

The figures, obtained through a freedom of information request by former air ambulance pilot Hans Dysarsz, surprised Regional District of Central Kootenay Area C director Larry Binks, a retired BC

Ambulance administrator.

“Under ten minutes is good,” he said.

“It comes down to staffing: if a station isn’t staffed properly, response time is going to be poor. We recognize we live in rural areas and won’t get the same response times [as in urban centres] but certainly deserve better than what is happening in some cases.”

Creston achieved its response times despite only having one full-time paramedic and 13 part-timers. By comparison, Nelson has seven full-timers and 33 part-timers, Trail four full-timers and 27 part-timers, Castlegar one full-timer and 27 part-timers, and Grand Forks one full-timer and 14 part-timers. (Parttime employees submit their availability and shifts are staffed accordingly.)

Binks, who worked for the ambulance service from 1974-2006, and Castlegar Mayor Lawrence Chernoff have been advocating for improvements. Response times could be faster if all stations were manned full-time, he said, but attendants have to be adequately compensated, rather than a standby pittance.

Chernoff, who retired in 2006 after 29 years as a paramedic, suggested the service isn’t as good as it used to be, and one reason is training.

“That’s been identified as a key issue,” he said. “In the past, BC Ambulance trained you. Now you pay for it yourself.

If you invest $5,000 and work in a smallvolume station, you’re never going to get that money back.”

Chernoff and Binks met with BC Ambulance management last month at the Union of BC Municipalities conference, although Chernoff said previous talks were “frustrating. … It’s moving too slow for us. We’ve met with probably everybody in BC Ambulance.”

BC Ambulance spokeswoman Kelsie Carwithen said response times aren’t determined solely by staffing — other factors include weather, terrain, roads, traffic and geography. Reponses in rural and remote areas are generally longer due to the distances involved, she said.

Sixteen ambulances respond to calls in West Kootenay, including stations in Nelson, Castlegar, Trail, Kaslo, Fruitvale, New Denver, Riondel, Rossland, Salmo and Winlaw. They aren’t restricted to emergencies in their immediate area, so a Nelson-based ambulance might handle calls from Castlegar and Salmo.

Carwithen said the ambulance service constantly monitors call volumes and is committed to improving all response

Kootenay Lake school district has no funds for CUPE wage increases

BY KIRSTEN HILDEBRAND Nelson Star School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) has not been able to find funds to cover wage increases for its CUPE workers — at least not without unwanted impacts on students, said board chair Mel Joy. School board trustees discussed the matter — the CUPE bargaining provincial framework savings plan — at a special finance committee meeting held Oct. 8 in Creston.

“While the Ministry [of Education] is asking boards to find the money within our budgets, they had also said there could be no impact on our core services,” Joy said. “Our board stated last night that there was no way we could make reductions in our budget without impacting services to students.”

Joy explained staff worked on a savings plan giving consideration to a “broad range of ideas” including reduction in school supply allocations as well as reduction in technology replacement and industrial tech education budgets, for example. After deliberation, the finance committee rejected that plan and the board followed suit.

“There were things within that savings plan that we know would impact services to kids,” she said.

CUPE locals throughout the province are working with local boards after the government negotiated a wage increase averting a strike last month.

The tentative Provincial Framework Agreement included an end rate 3.5 per cent increase in wages over two years. The agreement provides a one per cent increase July 1, 2013, two percent on Feb. 1, 2014, and 0.5 per cent on May 1, 2014.

A release issued by CUPE states that the union hopes to work with school boards to ensure services for all B.C. students are not adversely affected.

They stand together with trustees in calling on the provincial government to invest in public education with the funding necessary to meet the requirements of the agreement between the B.C. government and education workers, said Colin Pawson, chair of the CUPE BC K-12 Presidents’ Council.

“This is the deal the B.C. government negotiated, and so they are required to fund this agreement,” he said. “Under the government’s own ‘cooperative gains mandate,’ services that affect students cannot be cut.”

Joy said the Kootenay Lake school board’s rejection of the savings plan was in part based “on principle.”

“We had written a letter in the spring stating that the minister needed to come to the table as well with some savings or some amount of money to provide a wage increase,” she said. “To fully expect our board to find it within our own budgets when we are already cut so thin, we just felt this isn’t possible.”

With meetings with local CUPE workers scheduled, Joy said she’s not sure what will happen as they come to the table with no money. It’s possible bargaining will continue outside the framework agreement. Other options are being explored as well.

“If we don’t have an agreement by the time the provincial framework is done, I am not sure what that means,” said Joy. “I don’t know if our CUPE will respond with a strike. It’s ‘wait and see’ at the moment. We are hopeful the ministry will put some effort into finding an amount of money that will contribute to finding this wage increase.”

School district bargaining tables are continuing to meet across B.C. Once settlements are achieved, those settlements will be voted on by the memberships of the respective CUPE locals. There are 57 CUPE locals across B.C., representing 27,000 education workers. The deadline for ratification of all local agreements is Dec. 20.

times, especially for the most urgent calls where speedy arrivals can affect patient outcomes.

“Despite increased call volume, overall response times for urgent events in the West Kootenay have remained consistent since 2011/12,” she said.

“Response times are extremely important, but the care and treatment paramedics provide when they arrive is equally important.”

Carwithen also said the nine-minute standard is only a target that applies to urgent calls in metropolitan and urban areas — but one they do try to achieve.

“Response time figures are not based on the time it takes to have a trained emergency medical responder reach a patient; they only reflect the response time of paramedics,” she said. “First responders can arrivae on scene before paramedics and begin providing care.”

Carwithen said the ambulance service is looking at ways of doing business differently and has already made several improvements, including implementing an automated vehicle location system that lets dispatchers see where ambulances are in relation to the incident, and adopting computer-aided systems to maximize efficiency and better relay information to crews.

Horse club seeks stories, photos for 100th anniversary of 4-H

BY ALEXANDRA HAYES Creston Valley 4-H Horse Club

This year marks the 100th anniversary of 4-H in Canada. 4-H initially began in Manitoba and was known as the Boys and Girls Club. The name changed to 4-H in 1952. In those early days, 4-H had just a handful of members and leaders. It (includes soup & tea) Lunch Box has grown to include 35,000 members and 10,000 leaders nationwide. 4-H also Special has similar organizations in 80 other 11am - 3 pm countries around the world.

Next year will mark the 100th anniversary of 4-H in B.C. In 1914, there Dinner Buffet Featuring a were 200 members in BC 4-H. Now, there are more than 2,500 members, and selection of approximately 600 leaders. new dishes!

So, what are some of the guiding principles of this long-standing organization devoted to youth? Well, what first comes to mind is the 4-H motto: “Learn to do by doing.” Not only do members learn to do by managing their particular project — whether it is an animal project, such as horse, sheep or pigs, or a non-animal project, such as photography, crafts, small motors or bicycle — but they are given an opportunity to develop speaking skills through chairing monthly meetings and participating in club and district formal public speaking competitions. They are also given the opportuWould like to th nity to organize and lead club events, ank the followin another succes g and to solve difficulties.

attitudes that we want to live by and that we learn how to work meaningfully with others.

We also pledge our hands to larger service. This means that we are always working on developing new skills and improving old skills. We come to take pride in our work and develop respect for our own work and respect for the work and contribution of others.

Then we pledge our health to better living. This means that we are conscious about protecting our own well-being and the well-being of others. We make choices that are good for life. We make constructive use of our leisure time. We are active. We are engaged. And we strive not to be reckless.

4-H then has four main objectives that are at the heart of its teaching: knowledge, leadership, citizenship and personal development.

Knowledge, of course, comes from the project work itself. This includes husbandry practices, as well as farm safety, judging, feeding and marketing.

It also includes the communication part of the 4-H program, which involves public speaking, as well as demonstrations, speak and shows, and educational displays.

The leadership objective is met in part through members’ participation in their club executive. Members are elected in to the positions of president, secretary and treasurer, and all members have an active voice in club decisions. There are specific provincial programs that are also geared to teaching leadership skills and for which members can apply. Then, there are junior leadership projects and self-determined projects, where members can basically create a unit of their choice to teach or inspire others. The possibilities are truly endless.

Citizenship skills come through community service projects and fundraising at community events. There are many intra-club citizenship opportunities, as well as a national citizenship seminar in Ottawa, which members can attend.

Personal development, of course, is ongoing throughout all of the above.

But there are additional programs, such as Provincial Club Week and the ambassador training program, which are also designed to foster personal development.

Personal development, of course, is a critical factor where teamwork is concerned. And 4-H at its very best is teamwork! But individual clubs are dynamic

in nature and members do come and go year to year. Building and maintaining an effective team is an ongoing challenge. Everyone brings different skills and life experiences to the group.

4-H leaders work extremely hard to meet that challenge. They too must plan and organize the 4-H year so that it unfolds meaningfully for members.

They encourage, give direction, support and give recognition. They also realize more clearly than most that the 4-H boy or girl is the best 4-H exhibit. The 4-H member is much more important than the 4-H project.

4-H has certainly stood the test of time! And while numbers may fluctuate year to year or wane then rise over a period of years, it is an organization where membership is its strength. It offers a diverse range of programs for youth six to 21 years old and its programs do change to meet the needs of those members.

One hundred years of 4-H in Canada!

That is quite an accomplishment. And for all Creston 4-H members, both past and present, that’s something that you too have a part in.

Since I have been a member of 4-H in Creston for nine years, I thought I would try and come up with 100 names of members, leaders, sponsors or volunteers associated with 4-H that I knew of and had worked with to celebrate those 100 years. I thought that this exercise would take me a long time, but within minutes I had reached my 100 names — amazing! The 4-H network is even greater than Facebook, and there’s no virtual reality about it.

What is even more amazing is that there are probably hundreds of other 4-H alumni in the Creston Valley of whom I am not aware, and other individuals who have helped, sponsored and supported 4-H members and events over the years. So to all of you, I say thank you for having done your part to keep 4-H going for members like me!

I’d also like to invite you to share your 4-H stories and pictures so that current members of 4-H may have a greater appreciation of 4-H and all that it represents, and to make sure that 4-H remains strong for the next 100 years.

You may send your submissions to the Creston Valley 4-H Horse Club, c/o Alexandra Hayes, 4304 48th St., Canyon, BC, V0B 1G1, and I will collate them for a display to celebrate our 100 years of 4-H in B.C. for 2014! I would really love to hear from you.

“It was definitely a big weekend,” said head coach Josh Hepditch. “They’re right behind us in the standings and we wanted to try and get some separation there.”

With 16 points, the Thunder Cats now hold third place in the Eddie Mountain Division of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, sitting just one point behind the Columbia Valley Rockies and three behind the Kimberley Dynamiters.

The pair of wins followed an Oct. 15 6-4 loss to the Beaver Valley Nitehawks, who hold third place in the Neil Murdoch Division. The game started off well, with the Thunder Cats leading 4-2 by the end of the first period — with goals by Brandon Formosa, Connor Kidd and Colby Livingstone (two) — but their lead didn’t last. The Nitehawks scored once in the second period, and added three more in the third.

“We put ourselves in a pretty good position to win,” said Hepditch. “Unfortunately, in the third period, we kind of let it slip away.”

Part of the reason, he said, is the number of young players on the team who are still learning the ropes.

“It took them a while to understand the confidence we have in our team,” he said. “We sat back and tried to hold on instead of initiating the pressure.”

That style changed on Friday, when the Thunder Cats hosted the Ghostriders for an 8-2 victory, scoring one goal in the first period, three in the second and four in the third.

“We started off good, but we got better as the game went on,” said Hepditch. “That was the sort of game that we consistently want to play. …

We didn’t take our foot off the gas. We just kept playing our game.”

Maverick Lynes scored the first Thunder Cats goal at 7:15 on a first-period power play, for a score of 2-1. Jesse Collins and Trevor Hanna scored power-play goals in the second period, with Logan Styler adding his own at 3:51. Jesse Collins scored a shorthanded, unassisted goal at 19:32 in the third period, with power-play goals following from Livingstone (two) and Matthew Murray.

On Saturday, the Thunder Cats travelled to Fernie, where their hard work allowed them to match the Ghostriders goals and enter the third period tied.

“That was another one where we just consistently kept getting better,” said Hepditch.

Trevor Hanna scored twice for the Thunder Cats in the first period, at 9:30 and 9:02, for a score of 2-0. Kidd scored the Thunder Cats’ only goal in the second period, for a 3-3 tie heading in to the third. Kidd and Carson Cartwright started Creston’s third-period scoring before Fernie netted a fourth goal, and Connor Ward followed up with the Thunder Cats’ sixth.

After such hard work from Livingstone, Formosa and Collins the night before, Hepditch said he was pleased to see Ethan Rusnack, Styler and Kidd play their best game.

“We needed our other guys to step up,” he said. “It kind of proved the fact that we have some good depth on our team.”

This weekend, the Thunder Cats visit Golden on Friday, taking on the Rockets, currently in last place in the Eddie Mountain Division with nine points.

“They have some good players,” said Hepditch. “They had a rough start to the year, but they’re starting to play a lot better.”

On Saturday, they return home to host the Rockies, a game they have to be ready for.

“They’re ahead of us in the standings and even though we have games in hand on them, we have to find a way to get points,” said Hepditch.
