Bob Graham with his moose antler carving honouring slain RCMP members in Mayerthorpe, Alta., and Moncton, N.B.

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff Dozens of downtown business operators were asked for their opinions about the state of their business, competition and support from all levels of government on Monday.

Several teams consisting of town council and Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce members were bolstered by representatives from Community Futures Central Kootenay and the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training. They fanned out in the down-

town core, asking questions and taking notes about potential action items.

“I think that overall it was a very positive response,” said Mayor Ron Toyota of the Business Walks session.

“There were valid points, like crossborder shoppers not having to pay GST and PST on their purchases, but most accept that it is a fact of life.”

Toyota was joined by Couns. Jen Comer, Jim Elford, Joanna Wilson, Kevin Boehmer and Karen Unruh, who participated on the town’s behalf. see BUsINess, page 4

When Creston’s Bob Graham saw a photo on the Internet of a Mountie astride a horse, he new what his next carving project would be.

“I wanted to make a tribute to RCMP members who have died while serving their country,” said the moose antler carver. “I am a great believer in the importance of law and order. Where would we be without it?”

On Saturday in Cranbrook he presented federal Justice Minister and Attorney General Peter MacKay with his carving at a KootenayColumbia MP David Wilks’ constituency office. MacKay, in turn, will present it to the RCMP detachment commander in Moncton on June 4.

“I really can’t believe this is happening,” Graham said. “I am

so pleased that a carving I made in memory these officers will be viewed by many RCMP members and their families.”

Graham, a Creston resident since 1996, owns and operates a home and auto glass shop with his brother, Howard. Outside his work hours, he turns to a hobby he took up about 16 years ago when he saw a man carving an antler.

“I thought that it looked like something I could do.”

He had no experience or training as an artist, but soon found himself copying an image onto a moose antler.

Graham uses only “shed antlers” that have been found in the bush. Although he is a hunter who enjoys game meat, he doesn’t want to think that an animal has been killed so he can use the antlers.

sponsored by PYRAMID n Saturday, the Creston Museum will be hosting an event: Clean-Out-TheWorkshop Day. “Over the years, the workshop and tool shed have got a little bit jammed full,” said manager Tammy Hardwick. “It kind of goes with the territory to hang on to old stuff — we are a museum, after all — but this is getting a bit out of hand.”

The museum has been hanging on to old shelving units,

light fixtures, an assortment of lawn and garden tools in various states of repair, and even a good-sized dog carrier (no one has any idea where that came from).

The items will be sorted into three piles: stuff the museum uses and will keep, stuff that’s junk and is going to the dump and stuff that someone else might be able to use that will be sold in a June 6 garage sale. The goal of the

garage sale is to bring in enough cash to buy storage bins and containers for the stuff the museum will keep, so it can go back into the workshop and be nice and neat and organized.

Sounds like fun, doesn’t it?

The May 30 event kicks off at 10 a.m.

“I’ll have coffee, juice and goodies, of course, and if we spend the whole day, I’ll bring something for lunch,” said Hardwick.

Kokanee fry released to restock Crawford Creek

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Crawford Bay ElementarySecondary School students released about 92,000 kokanee fry into Crawford Creek on May 21, part of a project by the Eastshore Freshwater Habitat Society (EFHS).

It took about 45 minutes for participants to place the fry in the creek and a manmade channel, shuttling them in buckets from a Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC tank truck.

“What we want to do is improve the fish habitat on the East Shore,” said EFHS president Mike Jeffery.

The survivors of the severalmonth-old fry released last week won’t return to the creek to spawn for three or four years, giving the society, certified through the Pacific Streamkeepers Federation, time to obtain additional funding for a remediation project.

“Sometimes, it’s just as simple as putting log berms in and overhanging trees — making places they can live,” Jeffery said. “If we get the habitat improved, fish will come back to the habitat.”

Crawford Creek and others on Kootenay Lake’s East Shore — including Riondel’s Hendryx Creek, which had 5,000 released — used to teem with spawning kokanee in late summer. But since dams have been built upstream, the lake’s annual fluctuation has dropped from 30 to 13 feet, reducing available nutrients and food — and fish.

“I’ve seen how it’s depleted,” Jeffery said.

Efforts to boost the kokanee population are nothing new to the area. Over 20 years ago, Jeffery said, the school used to receive milked and fertilized eggs to hatch.

And nitrogen and phosphorus, both needed for metabolic processes, are put into the lake (the M.V. Balfour is chartered and the mixture blended in its wake).

But spawning numbers are at their lowest, said Jeff Burrows, senior fish biologist with Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, so stronger measures are being taken. The allowed daily catch of kokanee has been reduced from 15 to zero, while the allowance for their main predator, Gerrard rainbow trout — each of which can eat 100 kokanee each year — has been

upped from two to four.

“There’s no reason to expect that nature would balance that out,” said Burrows. “We’re trying to speed that up.”

Survivors from a spawning cycle can range from 0.5-5 per cent, so 1,800-2,000 returning to spawn in Crawford Creek would be ideal. But with that cycle taking three or four years, only time will tell if the restocking effort was a success.

“They have to imprint,” Burrows said. “We don’t know if that’s going to happen with fry raised in the hatchery.”

Golden Herb Health Foods owner Linda Gigliotti-Mickelson (right) got a visit from a team asking questions about the state of her business and how it could be improved on Monday. Listening to her responses were (from left) Creston Mayor Ron Toyota, Kim Goodall (Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training) and Barb Williams (Basin Business Advisors program, managed by Community Futures).

“It was good to hear from many about how good downtown looks, with all the trees and hanging flowers, and new wooden flower boxes and signs on the sidewalks,” Wilson said. “And we heard very little about the inconvenience caused by construction on the Pine Street intersection.”

Information gathered will be sorted and compiled, then posted on the Town

Carving FROM PAGE 1

“For me hunting is really about getting out there in the bush. It’s my travel — I don’t go anywhere else.”

Not long after he flipped the switch on his Dremel tool, Graham said he felt comfortable with the process. Soon, he was making carvings depicting outdoor scenes, animals, First Nations people and anything else that captured his imagination.

As he progressed from being a beginner to an artist whose pieces have been purchased by collectors, Graham describes himself as being like the Little Engine That Could.

“I’m still learning on every carving I do, getting confidence that I can get the effect I want,” he said.

“At first I would struggle in my mind, but confidence has been a big lesson.”

Never having had to discard a carving in progress is an indication that Graham has the combination of talent and skill needed to create fine detail in his work.

“A limitless amount of patience” is his greatest

of Creston website. Government agencies can then use the information to identify areas of concern.

Toyota said the information would also be of value to the Official Community Plan process, which was put on hold last week with the sudden resignation of Town of Creston contract planner Jamai Schile.

“It is disappointing,” Toyota said of the resignation, “but all we can do is look for a replacement who can pick the ball up and get it rolling again.”

OCP community volunteers have been informed that all scheduled meet-

asset, he said. “You learn what you can get away with and what you can’t.”

When he saw a picture depicting a mounted RCMP horseman, he decided to use it as the basis for a design.

“I thought, I hope there are people across Canada who care about what we lost in Mayerthorpe and Moncton,” he said, referring to the Alberta and New Brunswick communities where, respectively, where four RCMP officers were murdered, and where another three officers were killed on duty and two more were severely injured.

The image Graham created in about 60 hours shows a mounted RCMP officer beside a Canadian flag flying from a pole. In the distance are four ponies running free, symbolic of the Mayerthorpe officers. Overheard, three flying eagles represent the Moncton members who died.

Below the scene is an inscription: “THEY GAVE THEIR ALL.” An inscribed brass plaque attached to the antler says, “To the dedicated police officers who couldn’t go home that night. God bless their families.”

ings and events have been postponed until further notice.

“The appreciation for the level of commitment offered by OCP advisory committee members to date cannot be understated,” town manager Lou Varela said in a letter to members last week. “I hope that each of you will continue to participate when the town has realigned the process. We are committed to keeping the OCP process moving along and deriving a great policy document for the community at the end of it all! We can’t do it without you!”

Conflicting conflict

I am not a big fan of elected representatives routinely recusing themselves from political discussions in which they might be perceived to have even the slightest personal conflict of interest. A few years ago, concerned that town councillors were leaving the room when discussions for funding nonprofit organizations they were involved in, I waded through provincial guidelines and concluded that most recusals were unnecessary.

Examples might help. If a councillor is a member of the local arts council that has made routine application for funding, is he or she in conflict? Does a businessperson who sits on council have to leave the room for discussions that even remotely relate to his or her type of business?

On the surface, it all seems simple enough. A city council determines that a good way to reduce water consumption is to install water meters to measure it in each home within city boundaries.

Seems like a no-brainer, doesn’t it?

I use the term “no-brainer” purposefully, because like “common sense” it’s a phrase that is rarely helpful. Both phrases are typically used as short cuts to slam the door on discussion and debate.

Mostly, guidelines and legislation concern themselves with people in power using their votes and influence to achieve a personal financial benefit. Pecuniary (of or relating to money) is the word commonly used. So is fiduciary (in the nature of trust or confidence).

A conflict of interest is often described as a situation determined by “a reasonable person”.

Like many legal writings, the descriptions are hard to pin down

as being black and white in nature.

And, when it comes to interpretation, there can often be considerable dispute in what is actually intended.

Lorne Eckersley Is there a conflict, for instance, when council considers a request for a donated item to be auctioned off at a fundraiser? Is a member of the Rotary club making the request in conflict? What about a Rotarian who belongs to a different club, which might partner with the club in question to take on a community project? Is a non-Rotarian in conflict because the donation, when sold, is used for a trails project and the councillor is on the trails committee? Or happens to be a regular walker on the trail?

In none of these instances is there any direct pecuniary interest or financial benefit and I would argue that no recusal is necessary.

It isn’t that simple though. In Grand Forks, a yearlong controversy has raged about the installation of water meters in homes. It led to the election of a mayor and some councillors who campaigned specifically against the need for water meters. In last week’s Grand Forks Gazette, a councillor wrote that she had received a legal opinion that she did not need to remove herself from discussions, that her ownership of a yard main-

tenance business did not put her in a conflict of interest. Even with this information at hand, she dissolved her business. Then, on Monday, the Grand Forks website posted another legal opinion that says that the councillor in question and the mayor, a plumbing business owner, are in conflict and should recuse themselves from all further council discussions about water meters.

It is a tangled web indeed.

Personally, I don’t see where a yard maintenance business reaps a special financial benefit that would put the councillor in a conflict of interest situation. Sure, yard maintenance can include watering systems, but I think it is a stretch to say that a pecuniary interest was obvious enough to muzzle an elected official. Likewise with the mayor, who said in the news at election time that he had withdrawn his company’s initial interest in getting a contract to install the water meters when he concluded he was personally against metering.

The test for conflict of interest often comes down to public perception, “public” usually being defined as a reasonably intelligent and well-informed individual. In many local controversies, however, it would not be unusual for reasonably intelligent and wellinformed individuals to be found in opposing camps. Personally, I think it should be demonstrable that an elected person will clearly reap a personal financial benefit from a particular decision.

Otherwise, even more good people will lose all interest in seeking public office.

Senate future needs debate To the Editor: (Re: “Senate and politics must be separated”, Page 7, May 21) I was very pleased to see Peter

Hepher’s letter to the editor regarding a reform of the Senate. I do not want to see the dissolution of the Senate. There have been times in the past when Senators saved Canada from poor legislation. Their function of second and sober thought is a wise one.

Unfortunately, the Senate has been subject to patronage appointments by successive prime ministers.

I understand that Tommy Douglas

and Stephen Harper had one concept in common: an elected Senate. Mr. Harper seems to have forgotten his strong position on that subject. If the NDP do form government, I would hope that there is serious debate as to what should be done with the Senate, rather than dissolving it.

Let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water!

Plants as different as people

Years ago at the school of horticulture in Olds, Alta., I had a professor explain that horticulture was more than simply “how to grow plants”. It was “people and plants”!

Nursery Notes Evan Davies All of my first employments in field were pretty solitary. Plowing nursery fields, planting trees — no other people around. Growing 45,000 poinsettias a season in a three-acre greenhouse; watering, fertilizing, spraying, monitoring for growth; inspecting for disease and insects — pretty much no other people around.

Growing trees for re-forestation. Nine million seedlings over nine acres of greenhouse and most of the time only two people looking after the crops.

After a few years of this, I picked up a neat job as a technician at the school of horticulture in Langley. Finally, more peo-

ple and less of the monotony of just crops!

My present-day work at the nursery offers a pretty good balance of people and plants.

Plants are easy to read if you understand what you are looking for.

Psychologists would probably say the same for people. Species are different.

Cultivated varieties of the same species are different. Their genetics make them grow differently. They may have different metabolic rates and responses to their environment. It may be in their genes as a previous adaptation.

For example, in the spring, the black walnut tree leaves out and grows later than most other trees. It is native to the river valleys back east and has adapted to spring flooding conditions associated with the river valleys. These trees would drown if they leafed out quickly in the spring. They are not alone in this adaptation. Locust and honey locust trees also require a lot of heat units to get growing in the spring.

Other factors come into play. Suncrest peach trees developed in California leaf out early in spring but produce late season fruit while the Harrow Diamond peach developed in Ontario leaves out later than the Suncrest but produces the earliest peaches because the more southern peach requires less chilling time

over winter to get growing again in spring. Southern fruit growers need trees that thrive under short winter conditions while we in the north face other concerns like winter hardiness.

It is no secret that apricot trees can be “allergic” to sulphur sprays. The normal dormant season fruit tree spray can be quite damaging to apricot trees, as it will blister the bark and burn off the buds.

When I look at the sprays given to some of the neighbouring orchard crops, I would venture to say that Lapin cherries don't appreciate sulphur sprays either. Perhaps their bark doesn’t peel but their leaves hang low for several days afterward.

When plants are growing well, their new growth may become off-colour, sometimes red or sometimes a light yellow. They can't make chlorophyll fast enough to keep up with new growth. This is a good sign. Healthy plants have leaves that are held up and out. Leaves should get a little bigger through the season. It is normal enough for a healthy plant to drop a few of the older smaller leaves and cycle their nutrients into new and more efficient upper leaves. With all of the dry weather we had earlier in spring, you will have to keep a close eye on the irrigation.

Drop the bucket list

If we really enter this moment and are truly here in our lives we can be fully present with our experiences. But usually, we are not. If we look deeply into our own minds, it’s shocking to realize that there is a constant undercurrent of desire

A Zen'sEye View Kuya Minague and dissatisfaction. It’s as if we are always searching for something. Identity and ego are a constant feature of our thinking. If we look past ideas about who we are and part the weeds of every thought to see what is behind each one, we find an expression of desire and self-interest. It’s an ongoing thing that is always present.

“I want to be kind; I want to be loved; I want to be justified; I want to be important: I want to be alive; I need this; I don’t

Q

want that.” All these things are constant in our minds, even when we don’t know they are there. Thoughts about self are, in fact, behind everything.

This means that as long as self-centred thoughts occupy any aspect of our consciousness, we are not fully present. The underlying stream of desire causes us to see mountains and rivers in a two-dimensional way. And this underlying stream goes on all the time, even when we practice diligently. Self-centred concerns never go away completely. We need them to survive. But when we see through them, and know them for what they are, we can be fully present, here, in this moment.

And when we are fully present, everything that manifests is the Buddha’s expression of profound truth. As Eihei Dogen says in his essay, “Mountains and Rivers Sutra”, “Mountains and waters right now are the actualization of the buddhas and ancestors.”

The phrase, “right now” is actually the most significant phrase in this sentence. It has to do with the fact that this moment is not an isolated moment of time that passes away. It does pass away, but the energy that brings it forth has brought the

previous moment forth and will bring the next moment forth. This energy is the energy of impermanence. It has always existed, it exists now and it will always exist. Dogen is saying that every moment of passing time is, in itself, eternal. Eternity is not something that happens later. This moment is it.

And that’s wonderful, because it means that you don’t need to go anywhere. Most of us like the idea of a bucket list. I always wanted to do this; I have to do that before I die or my life won’t be complete. But according to this teaching, even if you never left your room you would be everywhere, and you would be able to participate fully with everything, because every moment is complete. That is the profound truth of this teaching.

Suggested practice: If you have a bucket list of things you are hoping to do before you die, notice how often it seduces you away from present moment awareness.

Kuya Minogue is the resident teacher at Sakura-ji, Creston’s zendo. This column is part of a long essay on an essay by 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen and is inspired by the teaching of Norman Fischer.

Follow sound to track cicadas

tracking venture is pinpointing the sound once you get within 10 feet or so. It seems like the sound is coming from everywhere. I would say cicadas are ventriloquists.

Only rarely have I ever spotted one, usually at or near the tip of a low tree branch.

To help the search along I would try a little trick.

If we determine that a cicada is in a certain bush or on a particular low limb of Ed McMackin a tree, I would attempt described a bit like “ti ti ti ti ti” to jar the creature so that it or “nip nip nip nip nip.” There would move and hence reveal might be one “nip” per second its hiding place.

However, if it hadn’t yet cicada hunt, we might be able to warmed up enough to fly, it hear one or two but to see or might drop to the ground and find one could be a bit tricky. we could quickly close in and One way to snoop out a cover it with our hands until it cicada is to stand still some- could be grasped in the fingers. where on a warm day and track Then we would get a good down the sound, taking a step face-to-face meeting with the or two toward it each time it evasive cicada, then let it go. sounds off and while it is doing If the cicada snapping sound so.

Either kind of getaway Ever since the last part of April I have been hearing this soft, high-pitched snapping sound coming from forest edges and isolated shrubs and trees.

would make it difficult for predators to catch.

They are quite strong but they don’t bite, as if they had jaws, but they do have a piercing mouth part that can give a bit of a jab if permitted. On a branch, the cicada is really hard to spot. The one we have in our midst now has a dark body, which looks like a branch, and transparent wings, making it quite invisible.

It seems that there are two species of cicada in this area. The dark-coloured, one-inch species occurs in May, and the larger one with brown coloring at the base of the wings can be 1.25 inches long. The latter makes a long buzzing call somewhat like the sound that comes from transmission lines on a frosty or foggy day. They are a little easier to locate because they often buzz, when it’s hot, continually for a minute’s duration.

The call of a cicada isn’t very often heard. By that, I mean people hear it but they don’t consciously listen to it. That’s the way it is with a lot of sounds out there and, digressing, I will say it’s the way, unfortunately, with a lot of human communication.

Much of the life of a cicada is spent underground. The number of years depends on the species. Many people are familiar with the 17-year “locust” which is a misnomer. (A locust is in the grasshopper clan while the cicada is in a separate group.) Both

Moving Along Together Week 5 Take Your Mind to the Spa

Our weekly sessions at TAPS for this program are attended by people affected by memory changes and their family caregivers.

We use the “By Us for Us” Guides published through the University of Waterloo by the Murray Alzheimer Research and Education Program as points of discussion chosen by the participants. We’re offering a few ideas and resources in these columns for your information, for family, friends and loved ones. Information will be posted on the Valley Community Services website. This is meant to complement any information available through other sources and stimulate discussion.

The topic for the next two weeks is memory workouts. In the introduction to this Memory Workout Guide, Brenda Hounam tells a personal story of having started doing memory exercises for herself while being a caregiver for her father when he had a stroke. She noticed gradual improvements in her memory after one month of doing them on a regular basis. Her desire to share the benefits of ‘stretching’ her brain led to working with others with memory loss and developing this series of guides with them.

The take home on this topic is to appreciate that looking after your memory means learning to think, see and feel better about yourself.

Here are some tips and tricks they suggest that you can choose from to make the exercises work for you: Make sure you are in a quiet space. Set aside an hour for “you time”. Focus on your breathing before beginning, breathe deeply and gently.

Establishing routines is extremely important.

A cicada, the source of unusual sounds you may hear.

the 13-year and 17-year periodical cicadas emerge in very large numbers on those years. The Annual cicada spends two to five years underground feeding on juices from roots emerging every year.

Where cicadas are abundant, tree fruit farmers see some twig damage done by the female cicada. It lays its eggs in a slit it makes in the bark of tender twigs, thus making breakage points. On hatching, the young make their way to the ground to live out the rest of their lives “with the underground”. On maturing,

they make their way to the surface, shed their “mining suit” and fly about to propagate the species.

By the time you read this, there may still be some “nipping” cicadas; however, you may start to hear the larger buzzing type. Most might be higher than you can possibly spot or catch; however, they do sound off from low bushes and branches. So, on your cicada snoop, if you don’t at first succeed, try again!

things may occur in your life because you enjoy the “gift”, but none will earn the gift. So, let me encourage you.

If you have always thought you would like to explore your spiritual world but have been intimidated by how much you don’t know or understand, think again. Your ticket for this journey has already been paid for, so be brave. Go visit a church, ask questions, then challenge the answers.

It is a journey where you will find love, peace, joy, understanding, strength and compassion. It is a place to grow. You have as much right as anybody else. Open the gift. God wants you back in “the Garden” so He may walk with you and talk with you in the cool of the evening.

“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

(Matthew 11:28-30) Your emotional and spiritual health is as important as your physical health for your overall well being. Come explore with us. There are no conditions. Think on that.

Mason Brown is a member of the Creston New Life Christian Church.

n our physical world there is a general rule that most of us live by. If you want something, you have to earn it.

We work hard in school to earn our diploma. We get a job and work hard to earn a living to support our

Commit to daily or 3-5 times a week.

Treat it as your job and put forth the effort.

Choose activities you like to do as well as new things. Variety is important to stretching.

Know your limits. Push yourself, but notice warning signs when it’s too much.

Start easy. You can increase the difficulty level slowly or add an extra timing challenge.

Reward your accomplishments. Write down a list of all the things you CAN do.

Rest your brain. If you’re struggling with something, leave it and come back to it later.

Come at a puzzle or activity from a different angle if it looks too tough. Start slowly.

It’s about your personal best at the present time, and that will change as you progress. You might have done better yesterday, or do better tomorrow. What matters is that you are doing the best you can for this particular date and time.

Next week we’ll share some ideas about choosing exercises and games to develop skills encompassing these three areas: memory, concentration and problem solving. In addition they should be affordable, flexible, inclusive, independently minded and do-able.

THE GIFT

By Mason Brown Creston New Life Christian Church family. We work long and hard to earn a car, a house, a boat, a holiday.

After decades of saving and hard work, we earn a pension and a place in the sun. So, it is understandable that it is confusing to learn that in the spiritual world this rule does not apply.

God gave us His son Jesus Christ, so He might have relationship with us. God gave His unconditional love for the taking. You can’t earn it because it is already yours. Giving money to the church will not earn it. Going to church every Sunday will not earn it. Singing praises to God will nor earn it. Leading a quality life filled with peace and love will not earn it. All of these

Volunteers needed for annual bat count

KOOTENAY COMMUNITY BAT PROJECT

Do you want to become a citizen scientist contributing valuable data towards conservation of bats in B.C.? The Kootenay Community Bat Project (KCBP), in partnership with the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area (CVWMA), is providing a training workshop for the annual bat count on at 8:30 p.m. June 4 at the Wildlife Interpretation Centre. This citizen-science initiative encourages residents to count bats at roost sites to provide valuable information on bat populations.

“This event is a wonderful opportunity for residents of Creston who have bats roosting on their property to collect important scientific information” said Juliet Craig, co-ordinating biologist for the KCBP. “You don’t need any special skills and kids can be involved.”

The annual bat count is being promoted by the KXBP in partnership with the Ministry of Environment to collect baseline data on bat populations before the devastating white nose syndrome enters the province.

“White nose syndrome is decimating bat populations in eastern North America” said Craig. “We are lucky that this disease is not yet in B.C. but it is predicted to arrive here within 10 years. By monitoring bat populations, we can detect sudden declines in bat populations.”

Residents wait outside a known roost site, such as a bat-house, barn, bridge or attic, and count bats as they fly out at twilight.

They can video the emergence or use a hand tally counter to count the bats. They record the final

count along with some basic information on weather conditions. Ideally, two counts are done between June 1 and 21 before pups are born, and two more between July 21 and Aug.

15 when pups are flying with their mothers.

“We know relatively little about bats in this region, including basic information on population numbers,” said Craig.

Community foundation hosting fundraising gala CRESTON-KOOTENAY FOUNDATION

A big party is planned for June 20 and everyone is invited as two great volunteer groups partner to help the most vulnerable Creston families. Join the CrestonKootenay Foundation’s annual gala to raise funds for the new sixunit affordable housing project, being built by the Creston Valley Community Housing Society on 25th Avenue South.

The Creston-Kootenay Foundation (CKF) holds investment funds for local people and groups, and gives out annual grants to local non-profit groups. In addition, CKF can choose a particular project to highlight each year. This led to the annual gala sponsoring the housing project in 2015.

This year’s gala will feature a multi-course dinner by Demetre Karountzos, a great assortment of live entertainment by Vern Gorham and friends, and an amazing array of live auction items, such as a week’s accommodation in Arizona, a patio set from Home Hardware Building Centre, a pedestal grill from Overwaitea Foods, a wildlife print by Liz Lesperance and diamond earrings from Ron Hurry. A “money tree” will offer gift certificates valued at $20 and more for a donation of $20.

Tickets are $50 each, or gather some friends and buy a table for eight for $400. Only 200 seats are available, so call early. Contact Signe at 250-4289584, Heather at 250-402-3343 or Nicole at 250-428-4960, or drop into Black Bear Books.

“This information will be extremely valuable, particularly if it is collected every year.”

Funded by Columbia Basin Trust, the KCBP also provides educational programs and information for land-

Shell-E-Brate at CVWMA highlighting habitat loss of western painted turtle CENTRAL KOOTENAY INVASIVE PLANT COMMITTEE

Dead painted turtle hatchlings entangled in the roots of spotted knapweed.

Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program

The western painted turtle has been around for 15 million years and is Canada’s only native freshwater turtle species. Their numbers are being impacted due to habitat loss.

“The western painted turtle is a long-lived species that requires different types of habitats to bask, forage, lay eggs, and overwinter,” said Leigh Anne Isaac, a senior biologist with Cranbrook’s Vast Resource Solutions. “When one of these habitats is degraded, it has longlasting impacts on the population. For example, invasive plants are quick to colonize the loose gravel substrates near wetlands where females lay their eggs. In doing so, these non-native plants choke out potential nesting sites and their roots have been shown to grow through the developing eggs.”

The Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area will be hosting fun-filled and educational events May 29 and 30 to highlight this majestic animal.

“When one of these habitats is degraded, it has long-lasting impacts on the population.”

Leigh Anne Isaac Vast Resource Solutions

An introduction to wetland ecosystems, values and stewardship. You will learn how to use basic GPS techniques to evaluate and protect wetlands in your community. This wetland mapping and rapid assessment workshop is a great 1 day course for community volunteers, students, consultants ,and anyone passionate about healthy watersheds. $50 Free!

For more information contact: Neil Fletcher, BCWF 1-888-881-2293 ext. 232 wetlands@bcwf.bc.ca | www.bcwf.bc.ca

On Friday, the Central Kootenay Invasive Plant Committee, CVWMA and Vast are teaming up to restore vulnerable nesting sites by pulling invasive plant species and reseeding with non-invasive grass seed. The organizations are calling for volunteers to come out to the Wildlife Interpretation Centre from 1-4 p.m. to learn about painted turtles and remove invasive plants from known nesting habitat. Isaac and the Vast turtle crew will be giving a free public presentation that night from 7-8 p.m. at the Wildlife Interpretation Centre.

On Saturday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., the CVWMA is hosting a family friendly day of crafts, games and activities to Shell-E-Brate the western painted turtle. Do your part to help the western painted turtle stick around for another 15 million years!

Project Wild Thing film examining child-nature connection

WILDSIGHT The Creston branch of Wildsight is offering a May 30 screening of Project Wild Thing, an ambitious, feature-length documentary that takes a funny and accessible look at a complex issue, the increasingly fragile connection between children and nature.

David Bond is a filmmaker and a father.

Things have really changed since he was a kid.

His children are hooked on screens and don’t want to go outdoors. They want iPads, TV and plastic toys. The marketing departments of Apple, Disney and Mattel control his children better than he can.

Determined to get them up and out, Bond appoints himself as the marketing director for nature. With the help of branding and outdoor experts, he develops and launches a nationwide marketing campaign to get British children outside.

But the competition is not going to lie down and let some upstart with a free product steal their market. Project Wild Thing is the hilarious, real-life story of one man’s determination to get children out and into the ultimate, free wonderproduct: Nature.

Following the world premiere of Project Wild Thing at Sheffield International Documentary Festival in June 2013, Green Lions productions invited communities worldwide to arrange their own screenings of the film. So far, the film has been screened in over 400 communities around the world, including schools, community centres, film clubs, charities and organizations.

Wildsight is proud to join them in offering a screening from 5-7 p.m. Saturday at Prince Charles Theatre. Admission is by donation, and parents, children and all lovers of the wild are invited to watch. Child minding will also be offered during the film.

For more details about Project Wild Thing, visit www.projectwildthing.com. To learn more about Wildsight, its role in the Kootenays and how to get involved, visit www.wildisght.ca.

Ticked off?

Thousands attend as 29 vehicles enter derby

Keep your dog and cat protected this spring from heartworm and tick related illnesses.

Ticks are native to Creston and the Kootenays and Lyme disease has been confirmed.

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Taking 2014 off seems to have made the demolition derby in Kitchener more popular than ever, with over 3,000 people — possibly closer to 3,500 — attending on May 17.

“It was the biggest ever,” said organizer Paul Whitford. “I think not having it last year kickstarted some motivation into people.”

More entries competed, as well, with 23 cars (up from 16 in 2013) and a half-dozen trucks (up from three) seeing action, with entries coming mainly from the East Kootenay, along with Osoyoos and Grand Forks, and as far away as Walla Walla, Wash., and Fort Assiniboine, Alta.

Taking first place was Mike Gordon of Osoyoos, with Cranbrook’s Lynden Franzreb placing second and Cody Walker Cranbrook placing third.

Elkford’s Jay Marshall placed first in the truck heat, the powder puff match winner was Kristin Tetloc of Grand Forks, and Creston’s Kole Hickle

won the grudge match as well as the award for good sportsmanship.

Money stick winners were Gordon, Keith Whitecotton of Princeton and Creston’s Leslie Batke.

The award for best paint went to Dana Dodge, sponsored by Robert Rotar Excavating.

And he may not have placed this year, but Russ Maher earned an award as the most dedicated derbier, having never missed a Creston derby since 1982, and always helping other competitors with their cars.

At the same event, Creston’s Brendan Stead had his head shaved by Coleen Woodall as a fundraiser, collecting nearly $1,700 — $1,165 at the derby alone — for the family of seven-yearold cancer patient Isobel “Izzy” Nixon.

School board urges action on child poverty

BY WILL JOHNSON Nelson Star

Child poverty was on the tip of everybody’s tongue at the May 19 School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) board meeting.

Representatives from a variety of interest groups urged the school board to do away with multi-tiered school fees that create a quasi-privatized school system, and the board voted to send a letter to Premier Christy Clark urging her government to create a poverty reduction strategy.

“This is bigger than just education,” said trustee Curtis Bendig, who introduced the motion. He noted that B.C. currently has the highest poverty and child poverty rates in Canada, and does not have a plan to address it.

The board voted unanimously in favour of sending the letter, which will be drafted by Bendig and chair Lenora Trenaman.

“There’s never enough money for education,” said Trenaman. “There’s never enough money for families, and we feel it in our schools. You heard it when we talked about fees, you heard it when we talked about poverty in our district. We have been talking about this for a long time.”

Trenaman said teachers and administrators have been coming up with creative

ways to get students the support they need, but they’re not being supported financially by the government. In many cases, teachers pay out of pocket for essentials such as food and supplies.

Meanwhile the students suffer.

“We know that children who are hungry don’t learn well. We know children who are cold or who need clothing, they can’t focus. For that in itself, this is difficult. But if you have a family that can’t afford three square meals a day or runners, and then we put fees on top of that, how can we help them?”

She said the government needs to take action.

“We would like to see our province take the full initiative, take the bull by the horns and start taking care of our kids.”

Trenaman said she feels conflicted about charging children additional fees.

“Legally we can do this, but with our values, that’s where the challenge is. Because we want to provide for these kids. I think it’s pretty safe to say that all the trustees believe in public education and believe it should be publicly funded,” she said.

“There’s fees, and then there’s fees, and then there’s fees on top of that, because they’re not properly funding public education.”

Bendig noted that Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall recently intro-

duced legislation urging the government to address child poverty as well, for the fourth time in four years.

School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) trustees Curtis Bendig and Lenora Trenaman.

Melford Arvid Larson

April 16, 1944 ~ May 10, 2015 Melford Arvid Larson passed away with his family by his side on May 10, 2015 in Vancouver General Hospital, Vancouver, BC. He was born on April 16, 1944, the fourth son and sixth child of Arthur and Olga Larson.

Left to mourn are his beloved wife of 47 years Johanna; children Shane (Michelle), Kyle (Jen), Lucinda and Trent; five grandsons; five sisters and two brothers; numerous nieces and nephews, and one paternal aunt.

A Memorial Service was held in Langley, BC on Saturday, May 16, 2015.

Elisabeth Kretzer

January 19, 1921 ~ May 19, 2015 Allan was born January 11, 1932 in St. Albert, Saskatchewan. Wilma was born in Kaslo on March 22, 1935. Allan and Wilma were married November of 1950.

They settled in West Creston. Allan ran the West Creston Ferry during the 1950s and 1960s. He then worked for the Department of Highways until his retirement.

Being a stay at home mom, Wilma kept busy with gardening, canning and family obligations. Later in life she served her community by doing home support for several years. They both enjoyed riding and working with horses. Allan bred and raised quarter horses for many years.

Leaving to mourn their passing are their three children: son Jim and wife Janice Evans, son David Evans, daughter Lisa and husband Tom Jackson; eight grandchildren: Bryce (Katie) Jackson, Blayne (Laura) Jackson, Shayla Jackson, Pam (Scott) Alexander, Christine (Colin) Blumer, Sheldon and Robert Evans, Mellissa Minifie; five great-grandchildren: Owen and Connor Jackson, Landon Blumer, Micah Alexander, and soon-to-be-born Allie Jackson; brother Ross (Marion) Evans; Wilma's two sisters: Shirley (Pete) Giesbrecht, Dorothy Vik, plus many nieces, nephews and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held on June 6, 2015 at the Creston Hotel banquet room. Drop in between 1:00 and 4:00 pm.

“This is legislation that would address our concerns,” he said.

Creston Valley Teachers’ Association president Becky Blair took the opportunity at the end of the meeting to add her voice to the debate, saying that the current fee system would have excluded her when she was a student.

“Ask any teacher. Most parents are not going to ask for help. My parents would not have come forward, and I would not have gotten that art class. Public education is in a position right now, you have to realize, where we’re really struggling,” she said.

“Every piece of money hurts.”

Nelson and District Teachers Association president Paul Boscariol said the fees are a cause of concern for everyone, with the system creating a hierarchy of students.

“We’re creating a huge wedge in accessibility. We’re quasi-privatizing by doing this. It’s very much like sending your kid to private school.”

Bendig said he hopes the government gets the message.

“One of the greatest tools we have as a society is a strong, well-funded education system that will help raise our students out of poverty. When the government looks at this I hope they see a universally accessible public education program as an important part of the future of this province.”

Elisabeth Kretzer passed away on May 19, 2015 peacefully at Swan Valley Lodge at the age of 94.

Elisabeth was born in Hindenburg, Sachsen Germany to Max and Franziska Lehnert on January 19, 1921.

Elisabeth married John (Hans) in Germany and in 1957 the family immigrated to Alberta to farm the land in Fort Macleod, where they lived for twenty-two years.

In 1983 Elisabeth and her daughter Eleonore moved to Wynndel, BC. Elisabeth was predeceased by her husband John (Hans), at the age of 65 in Calgary in 1979. In 1998 her eldest son Peter Kretzer passed away at age 58 in Creston; she is also predeceased by her sister Hilde and three brothers Georg, Guenther and Harry Lehnert.

Elizabeth is survived and greatly missed by her daughter Eleonore Kretzer; son Heinz (Carol) Kretzer; grandchildren Barbara (Ty) Paton, Monica Kretzer, Bonnie (Brett) Renaud, and Shelly Kretzer; four greatgrandchildren Tawny, Justin (Laura), Keely and Kadin; and one great-great-grandson Quinn Paton.

Friends wishing to make a memorial contribution may do so to Swan Valley Lodge (Platform Wheelchair – Scale) Box 1880, Creston, BC V0B 1G0.

Herbert D. Dodd, Q.C. September 12, 1949 ~ May 19, 2015

With much sadness, we announce the passing of our dearly loved husband, father, grandfather and brother at the age of 65, due to complications from Alzheimer’s Disease.

Herb was raised in Creston, BC, the son of the late Herbert and Gwendolyn Dodd. He graduated from the University of Victoria and the University of Toronto Law School. For 36 years, until his retirement in 2012, he enjoyed a successful and rewarding legal practice at the Vancouver firm of Farris & Co. He was named Queen's Counsel in 2008.

He is survived by his wife Ruth; daughters Amy (Rob Kushlick) and Melissa (Martin Sheard); son Jamie (Nadya Wilkinson); grandchildren James and Madeline Kushlick, and Nathan and Benjamin Sheard.

He is also survived by his sister Lynn Buchanan (Claud); brother Alan Dodd (Sharon), and numerous nephews, nieces and cousins.

A private Memorial Service for family and friends will be held in the near future.

Creston pitcher leads Cranbrook Bandits to victory

BY TAYLOR ROCCA Cranbrook Daily Townsman

Rookie right-hander Shayne Walker couldn't wipe the smile off his face.

The 15-year-old native of Creston pitched a complete game in the Cranbrook Bandits home-opener at Confederation Park, helping guide his squad to a 5-1 victory over the Kootenai Valley Rangers in American Legion Baseball action Saturday.

"It feels pretty good," Walker (3-0) said. "Had the boys backing me up all the way. Just have to go with the flow, I guess.

"Keeping the ball down, picking at the knees and having my boys back me up [helped me go the distance]."

With the Bandits playing their first home game of the 2015 American Legion Baseball season, head coach Paul Mrazek chose to hand the ball to his rookie ace in the first game of a doubleheader.

It didn't take long for Walker to show why his coach has so much faith in him.

Walker went the distance, throwing seven innings off the mound, whiffing three Rangers batters, while only giving up six hits and two walks.

The only run against the Bandits on the day came on a passed ball

during the fifth inning. With no earned runs allowed, Walker improved his ERA to 1.07 through five appearances this season.

"He keeps his pitch count down," Mrazek said of Walker. "He struggled a little bit, but after that he got in his groove and was able to, for the most part, get ahead of the hitters. That way, he's not going deep into the count and they're not going to see a lot of pitches."

The rookie right-hander got through seven innings of work having only thrown 91 pitches Saturday afternoon.

The run support was there for Walker, as the Bandits jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning.

Centre fielder Connor Armstrong got the bats going with a run-scoring triple that brought third baseman Robert Nickell home for a 1-0 lead.

Armstrong finished the game 2-for-4, with an RBI and a run.

"It's nice to play at home in front of people you know," Armstrong said Saturday. "Having one win is nice.

"Picking our pitches and being on time, hitting gaps [gave us success at the plate]."

With the next at-bat, first baseman Brendan Bird grounded in a fielder's choice, but brought

Armstrong in from third for a 2-0 advantage.

Like Armstrong, Bird wrapped the opening game of the doubleheader with a 2-for-4 performance at the plate. He added two RBIs and one run for good measure, while walking twice.

That was really all the Bandits needed with solid team defense limiting the visiting Rangers to one run in the opening game.

If his contributions from the mound weren't enough, Walker got into the action offensively as well, going 2-for-3 at the plate and scoring one run on a balk to put his team ahead 3-0 in the bottom of the second inning.

"Making the pitcher work, putting balls in play and having a sharp eye," Walker said.

"That's what gave us success [at the plate]."

The Bandits padded the lead by adding a run in the bottom of the fifth inning and two more in the bottom of the sixth.

After cruising to victory in the opening game of Saturday's doubleheader, things didn't go quite as smoothly for the Bandits in the back half against the Rangers.

Building a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning, the Bandits then fell behind as the Rangers rolled to a fourrun third inning, before extending the lead to 6-1 in the top of the fifth.

A spirited rally made the final score close, but it wasn't enough as the Bandits fell 6-4 to split Saturday's doubleheader with the Rangers.

"We got down on ourselves," Armstrong said, "We got back into the game too late to comeback for a win. "[You have to] keep positive and not get down on yourself. [When you're down] you're not going to want to be in the game and you're going to make more errors and less hits because you're not focused.

"We have to work together as a team, not get down on ourselves and we'll be able to pull out some more wins."

Bird (0-1) started the game on the mound for the Bandits, lasting 2.2 innings before giving way to Daniel Mercandelli.

Bird was tagged with the loss, but wasn't the only Bandits pitcher to have a tough go as Mercandelli only lasted 0.2 innings before Noah Rennette came on in relief for 0.2 innings.

Jake Bromley finished the day on the bump, lasting three innings.

A three-run sixth inning made the game interesting as shortstop Carson Meggison laid down a bunt, which paired with a Rangers' fielding error to bring two runs across.

On the following at-bat, second baseman Rylan D'Etcheverry slapped a single to centre field, brining Meggison home to make it 6-4. That's as close as the Bandits got.

"It was great to win the first game. We played pretty solid," Mrazek said. "We need to tidy a couple things up, but that was a good start.

"But we can't go into the second game and go in flat like that. We can't go from playing so well to that flat, making errors and not hitting the ball."

Next home action for the Bandits comes June 6, when the Mission Valley Mariners visit Confederation Park.

seven matches over three days.

Overall, the 2015 nationals figure to be a record-setting event as, for the first time, all of Volleyball Canada’s championships for boys and girls at all age levels will be held in the same location at the same time.

Some 800 teams, 10,000 players and 12,000 spectators are expected to converge on Calgary for the six-day celebration of the sport.

The Avalanche will play in the Olympic Oval on the University of Calgary campus, site of speed skating during the 1988 Winter Games.

Creston-based volleyball team off to nationals

featuring Creston players Davis Nelson, Marcus Bell, Mark Armstrong and Jacob Johnston, Seven victories in nine matchqualified EKVC for the top tier of es were enough for the East entries in the national club championships, also in Calgary.

“The team really jelled,” said Avalanche manager Carrie Armstrong of Creston, who heard “many comments from other families, refs and coaches about the quality of our team. I think we surprised a lot of people.”

In round-robin action on Day 1, the Avalanche swept through their five-team pool, beating NAVC (Green) 25-16, 25-23, Whitecourt Revs 25-18, 25-16, Stoney Plain Ravens 25-11, 25-22 and Grande Prairie Wolves 25-12, 25-19.

The coach of the first opponent “called them in during the warm-up and said, ‘So, these guys can play,’ then cut short their warm-up and watched us hit,” Armstrong said.

The Avalanche opened the playoff round with a three-set triumph over Sherwood Park, 25-19, 21-25, 15-8, earning them a crack at NAVC (Gold) at the end of a long day. Although the eventual gold-medallists won the best-ofthree match in straight sets, it was close, with EKVC coming within 25-20 and 25-21. It was one of the toughest matches NAVC would encounter en route to the title.

The next day the Avalanche started strongly as the playoffs continued, winning two matches in three sets apiece before falling in a three-set consolation final to the St. Albert Sturgeons (Blue), including a 16-14 nailThe most reliable Internet technology * is now biter in the decisive set.
