Creston resident Katherine McAdam has died in what police suspect was a homicide. McAdam was the subject of a missing person investigation as reported in last week’s Advance.

“Forensic analysis of suspected

human remains have confirmed them as being that of Katherine McAdam,” an RCMP press release said on Tuesday morning.

The 58-year-old McAdam was reported missing from her home to the RCMP on Aug. 18.

On the afternoon of Aug. 27, Creston RCMP members discovered “what they believed to be

human remains” while conducting their inquiry at a residence in the 2700 block of Highway 3. The Southeast District major crime unit was contacted and has since taken over the investigation.

“I have been very impressed with the major crimes unit’s efforts to work with our detachment and to keep communication open,” Staff

Sgt. Darryl Hammond said on Monday, in only his second week on the job as commander of the Creston detachment.

Anyone with information in regards to McAdam's death is asked to contact the Creston RCMP Detachment at 250-4289313 or BC Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Bracelet sales helping Ronald McDonald House

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor The Southern Alberta Ronald McDonald House will receive a donation of over $2,000, thanks to the fundraising efforts of Kaelyn Austin Vance.

While visiting her grandparents, Dwayne and Denise Ludwar, the nine-year-old spent time at the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market this summer, selling sunflowers, dill and Swiss chard, along with bracelets she made with Rainbow Loom, raising $1,027.25 — which Alberta oil and gas company Nexen will double.

“We were all very excited when we heard that,” said Kaelyn’s mom, Rachelle Austin.

One of Kaelyn’s best friends, Creston seven-year-old Isobel “Izzy” Nixon, has been staying at Calgary’s Ronald McDonald House regularly since being diagnosed with a brain tumor last December.

Kaelyn, who lives in Calgary, visits

her often, enjoying the special home away from home, which has a library, toys and more.

“I like the craft section and the games,” said Kaelyn. “We went to play bingo, and if you got something, like a blackout or a straight line, you’d get a little prize.

Kaelyn discovered Rainbow Loom — a plastic loom used to weave coloured rubber bands into bracelets and charms — about two years ago, and began weaving bracelets to sell to her class as a fundraiser for Alberta Children’s Hospital.

“I really wanted to raise lots of money for people that have to do treatment,” she said. “There are so many kids that have been going to treatments and scared to do stuff.”

“It made her discover her love for helping others,” said Austin.

Last year, Kaelyn and her brother Cohen started fundraising by selling raspberry jam to neighbours and family. They continued this year, after Izzy’s diag-

nosis, and ended up earning $69.55, which they gave to Izzy to buy whatever she wanted.

“I felt bad that she’s going through a hard time,” said Kaelyn. “I want to take care of her. I know she feels scared sometimes.”

And however Kaelyn next decides to express her generosity, her mom and dad are happy to support her.

“I’m very honoured to have such a special little girl,” said Austin.

Chamber seeking questions for federal election forum

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Creston Valley voters will have a chance to see federal election candidates in full campaign mode on Oct. 1.

All four major party candidates have accepted an invitation from the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce to participate in an all candidates forum.

Incumbent KootenayColumbia MP David Wilks (Conservative Party) will appear along with challengers Wayne Stetski (New Democratic Party), Don Johnson (Liberal Party) and Bill Green (Green Party).

Libertarian Party candidate

Christina Yahn had not responded to the invitation at press time.

Following the format set in last year’s local government election forums, questions to the candidates will be selected prior to the event.

Submissions of questions can be dropped off at the chamber of commerce on Northwest Boulevard or emailed to manager@crestonvalleychamber.com. No questions will be taken from the floor.

“This format allows the spotlight to be focused on the candidates,” said chamber manager Jim Jacobsen. “We will go through the submitted questions and select them

to cover as broad a range of topics as possible.”

Submission deadline is Sept. 16. Candidates will be provided with the selected questions in advance of the forum.

The Creston Valley Toastmasters Club will provide an MC for the evening and will also work to keep the time for each candidate equitable.

Creston’s 904 Kootenai Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets will assist with seating and will serve refreshments.

The forum will be held in the Creston Room at Creston and District Community Complex.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and introductions begin at 6:30. The forum will end at 9 p.m.

Calls for RCMP down by half as summer ends

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Creston RCMP saw a dramatic drop in calls for service last week, with only 53 requests after a several weeks in getting a hundred or more calls.

“It seems like we are entering a completely different trend after a busy summer,” Staff Sgt. Darryl Hammond said on Monday.

August 24 •A wallet found on a Mount Thompson hiking trail has been returned to the owner. Hammond said that the return of lost wallets, with ID, credit cards and cash intact, has been an eye opener after he spent nearly two decades in the Lower Mainland, where such an occurrence is a rare event.

•Police were called to diffuse a situation in the 1100 block of Canyon Street, where an intoxicated male was causing a disturbance.

•After some investigation into a child custody dispute, a parent at the Kingsgate border crossing was cleared to enter Canada.

•Police assisted an RCMP K Division major crimes investigation by taking a statement from an Evans Road resident.

•A male attempting to enter Canada through Kingsgate while in the possession of firearms was arrested and held in custody pending a court appearance.

August 25 •Police served a summons to a Wynndel resident on behalf of Calgary police.

•A motorcyclist who lost control on gravel near Crawford Bay was taken to hospital in Nelson with a concussion and back, arm and leg injuries.

•Police were unable to identify the driver who transported a group of youths to the Goat River Bridge in the back of a pickup truck.

•Quick action by people in the area might have prevented a forest fire after a U-Haul truck caught fire on Highway 3A near Akokli Creek.

ter was dispatched to assess the danger, residents fought the fire, successfully.

“This was an exceptional effort by these folks,” Hammond said.

“The fire would likely have spread to surrounding homes and forest.”

August 26 •Culprits broke into a Helen Street business through a window, ransacking an office and breaking into a pop machine. The investigation continues.

•Both parties were spoken to after police responded to a report from Cook Street about threats made over a “perceived debt”.

•A drug exchange was witnessed in a Canyon Street alley but the participants have not been identified.

•Police were unable to locate an intoxicated male reported to be sleeping beside Cook Street.

August 27 •An Ash Street resident reported someone banging on the door in the early hours of the morning, but police could not locate a suspect.

•An intoxicated male was removed from an 11th Avenue South residence at the request of the residents.

•Creston RCMP were kept busy for several days after a body was found in the southeast part of town.

More details elsewhere in this issue.

August 28 •Police are investigating a breakin to a Bodor Road residence, where a car, television and firearms were stolen. The car has since been recovered.

•Police mediated a dispute between family members in Yahk.

•A portable stereo was stolen from an Eighth Avenue residence.

•An impaired driver first reported on Cook Street was located on Hilton Road after another complaint. The male driver was issued a 90-day driving prohibition and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days.

Annual DUC fundraising dinner on track to sell out

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The Creston branch of Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is hosting its annual fundraising banquet in a month, and tickets are going quickly — nearly all have sold already, and the event is on track to sell out early.

Seating was expanded to accommodate last-minute ticket buyers last year, but organizers found it made the event too crowded, so sales will be restricted to 232 this year.

“This behooves people to buy their tickets early, as this year we may well sell out well before the week prior, as we did last year,” said banquet committee member Lou Knafla.

The Oct. 3 event is always popular, and more than simply a banquet, which again includes prime rib, along with wines from SkimmerhornWinery and Vineyard and Baillie-Grohman Estate Winery. Silent and live auctions are also on the schedule, featuring items sent to the Creston committee by DUC, and many products donated by local artists and businesses.

There will be raffles, too, along with a new game.

“It will lighten things up a little bit,” said Knafla.

It’s been such a successful fundraiser that the committee

has earned two awards from the Suzuki Canadian Dealer Foundation: the Regional Most Improved Chapter of the Year and the Regional Chapter of the Year awards.

Last year’s banquet raised $24,932 for DUC, all which is put back into projects at the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area (CVWMA).

“In 2014, Ducks Unlimited Canada partnered with CVWMA and contributed $50,000 towards repairs at the Duck Lake crossdike, and helped with the repairs of one of the two Duck Lake pumps, as well as replace the starter control for the pumps,” said Knafla. “DUC will be providing $40,000 in 2015 to be used

toward infrastructure repairs and habitat management.”

In coming months, DUC will continue to work closely with the CVWMA on the wetland infrastructure.

“In addition, the DUC staff worked collaboratively with the CVWMA and provincial biologists in preparing an updated management plan to guide future management and operations activities,” said Knafla. “This draft plan will be presented to the public later this coming year.”

The few remaining tickets are available by calling Gertie Brown at 250-428-7581. The banquet starts with drinks and hors d’ouvres at 5:30 p.m.; dinner starts at 7.

over the weekend prompted the Ministry of Environment and Interior Health Authority to lift the smoky skies advisory that had been in place in southern areas of the Kootenay and Boundary regions since Aug. 20 (it was later widened to cover the entire regions Aug. 24).

“While some wildfires remain active, the weather system that is moving through the region, accompanied by rain and high winds, has reduced the amount of smoke and improved air quality,” said Monday’s announcement. “These conditions are expected to continue over the next few days.”

As of Monday, the 480-hectare Mount Midgely fire northwest of Creston remained active, but was 95 per cent contained. Nearly three dozen firefighters and one helicopter

were working on the blaze ignited by lightning on Aug. 14.

South of the border, Idaho’s 2,500-hectare Parker Ridge fire, visible from the Creston Valley, is 27 per cent contained, with over 80 firefighters battling the wildfire that started July 29.

The rescinding of the campfire ban in the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdiction means that campfires no larger than a half-metre wide by a half-metre high, and open fires in an outdoor stove are again allowed.

“Anyone who lights a campfire must have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of water available to fully extinguish it,” said the notice from the BC Wildlife Service.

Backyard burning and open fires remain prohibited.

A trip back in time

The message arrived in a timely fashion, on a Wednesday morning.

I was not booked for the afternoon, but I certainly wasn’t anticipating the name Mrs. Mallandaine to pop up in my email. Tammy Hardwick, manager of the Creston Museum and Archives, knows how to get attention.

All summer I had intentions of taking one of Hardwick’s museum bus tours, designed to educate visitors and locals about Creston history. Somehow the timing never seemed to work out and the poke from Mrs. Mallandaine was not without a sense of a urgency — last Wednesday’s hour-and-a-half tour would be the last of the year. “ ‘Mrs. Mallandaine’ wishes to remind you that her last journey to Creston’s past for the summer of 2015 will be departing the Museum at 2:00 this afternoon. If you are able to attend, she has a seat reserved for you in the ‘buggy’.”

I replied that I could not turn down an invitation from such an august personality, especially in August.

Mrs. Mallandaine? My local history knowledge is far from thorough. I might sneak by with a C on a test. But I do know enough to appreciate that as a young woman Jean Ramsay had taught school in Creston. Later, she would marry Edward Mallandaine, an engineer who, with F.G. Little, would choose the present site of Creston while working on a survey party for the railway. The couple would be become a formidable force in the town’s early history.

I arrived at the museum on a dark, smoke-filled afternoon, paid my $15 entry fee (graciously declining the offer of a free ride)

and soon boarded the “buggy”, a BC Transit community bus. The smoke had taken its toll on tourism that day and the only other passenger (some of the earlier tours were packed) and I were

Lorne Eckersley soon being instructed by Mrs. Mallandaine (a.k.a. Tammy Hardwick), replete in her prim white blouse and long, slender green skirt.

In my earlier years I used to make a point of visiting local museums in my travels. I have fond memories of tours through museums on Quadra Island and in Prince Rupert. They only rarely appear on my radar now (though I still want to visit the Torrington Gopher Hole Museum in Central Alberta, where stuffed gophers are dressed to resemble townspeople).

On my visits to the Creston Museum, though, I am inevitably transported back in time. And my first thoughts go to that massive community effort to acquire many of the items donated to a failed effort near Yahk in the early 1980s.

Leaders of the day showed great foresight when they managed to acquire the stone house on Devon Street, on a large property that has served the museum and archives extremely well over the years.

Our tour took us through the

downtown core, down to the old Endicott property (now Spectrum Farms) and out and around Erickson. Mrs. Mallandaine shared photos to illustrate how Creston and area looked a century ago, and she had information and anecdotes to accompany them. It was a joyful afternoon to be in her company and do a little vicarious time travelling with her.

That afternoon did not end my museum experience for the week.

On Saturday evening, once again in smoke-filled air, I pulled out my old folk festival lawn chairs and headed to the museum courtyard, where staff and volunteers had arranged a movie night. Admission included a glass of wine and a variety of tasty food morsels and I settled in beside a friend to enjoy Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire in Funny Face, a deservedly classic film. Low volume sound and a wrinkly sheet that doubled as a movie screen did nothing to detract from the evening’s pleasure. The small crowd seemed very pleased to participate in a lovely event that will surely be requested again next summer.

Tammy Hardwick, with her staff, and volunteers have created something of a miracle on that Devon Street property. The Creston Museum, in my estimation, is as good as it gets for small-town museums. What sets it above so many others, though, is the continual effort to reach out into the community and connect with people in countless ways, all designed to remind us of what a remarkable asset we have in this community. We are fortunate indeed.

Gleaners a good thing for Creston To the Editor: (Re: “Volunteers Want to Feel Wanted

by Society”, Aug. 13) When the Gleaners started, the volunteers would run it having a vote and a say how things were done. The Aug. 13 letter to the editor leads one to think that things are not running so smoothly.

I understand that the mandate was for the volunteers to run this organization.

It would appear from the letter that someone is trying to take over the Gleaners and Food Bank for their own personal ideas and use. How sad that this organization has run into a roadblock, getting rid of all the old volunteers and then putting a sign out looking for new people! Sounds like they are looking for “yes” people.

The powers to be need to have a good look at this situation and correct it. If we lose Gleaners it will be a sad day for Creston.

Community loses after access to Point sold To the Editor: I received a phone call from Rajeeta Bains of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) confirming rumours that the public access to the Point through Goat Canyon Road has indeed been parcelled and sold to a private land owner.

How did this happen? I am in shock that in 2015 government forfeited the interests of an entire community as a solution to one private citizen’s complaints. In this same year, a judge in the Okanagan ruled that health and wellness of the public took precedence over competing land interests and secured a rails-to-trails corridor.

Over the past year, through a series of public meetings, citizens of the Creston Valley voted that our top priority for a community initiative was to get connected, calling it the community connector trail. We envisioned a non-motorized path from Wynndel through Erickson, then reaching to the east side of the valley going down Goat Canyon Road with a suspension bridge to replace the old bridge across the Point, and then connecting up through Canyon and to the farms in Lister. This is an ambitious goal, but other communities have similar paths, so why couldn’t we?

Several of us who are passionate about preserving access to the canyon have been working behind the scenes for the past two years to try to figure out what could be done about the road closure to the area known as the Point. In July 2014, the Trails for Creston Valley Society met with MOTI and Regional District of Central Kootenay representatives to discuss several options for opening access through existing highways corridors. Conversations in that meeting, emails and extensive public engagement processes have ensured local governments were well informed of the goals laid down by the public to get connected.

OPINION LINE

Regardless, the public road access was parcelled and sold despite the fact that official court documents state that about 200 people accessed the river this way daily. We lost a valuable public access to an important community recreational area on Crown land. In the meantime, valley residents flock in hoards to the bridge on Highway 21, park on the shoulder of a busy highway and jump off a highway bridge for recreation because there is nowhere else to go. The closest public beach is a 45-minute drive up Kootenay Lake to Twin Bays.

Because of a runaround between the regional districts, RCMP and MOTI, the judge deemed MOTI a bad neighbour and ruled in a court decision that it, as the defendant, had to come up with a solution. Its short-term solution was to gate the road and post a guard to prohibit access, much to the chagrin of many sweaty would-be swimmers and kayakers trying to access the coolness of the canyon.

Bains followed up with an email answering my questions about public consideration in the decision. “It was discussed with RDCK about creating a park. However due to many factors, a park was not favoured by the RDCK. In 2014, RDCK stated that the land could not be sold as an individual parcel due to zoning parcel size requirements. The land was then offered to both land owners adjacent to the right of way.”

Citizens need to stand up for our right to access and preserve the commons. The beautiful natural spaces that are our home become simply lot numbers and lines on maps to those sitting in the offices. All over the province, people are stepping forward for the stewardship of their natural spaces and waterways.

You too can support these initiatives by speaking to your local politicians about securing public spaces and access to water. This must never happen again!

Few options for unwanted animals To the Editor: Some days I like animals better than people. Today is one of those days. I’m siting on my deck watching a starving cat and four very thin, hungry kittens.

The young mother showed up here in the winter, managed to survive, was bred and gave birth to a batch of kittens. Hunger has driven her into my yard in search of food and water. She is not a feral cat. This was somebody’s pet, no longer wanted and dumped off.

This isn’t the first time cats have arrived. Last summer, a cat with four kittens showed up. Two kittens died.

She was loaded with tapeworms and was expelling gobs of them in my yard.

She was a friendly cat and, again, a pet.

Next came an overweight yellow tabby.

An indoor cat with no hunting skills, the weight quickly dropped off and she cried incessantly for food. A grey tom has taken up residence on my neighbour’s deck. The list will continue as long as their irresponsible owners aren’t stopped.

I am the owner of an ancient neutered tom. He is loved and well cared for. These “strays” are not so lucky.

This is the information I received last summer when trying to deal with the cat and kittens: •If you live within the town of Creston, you should call bylaw enforcement. The Pet Adoption and Welfare Society (PAWS) has no responsibility within town limits.

•If you feed these starving cats, you own them. PAWS supplied me with food for them, then refused them shelter when I caught them.

•If you catch them, you are responsible to have the veterinarian check them at your own expense. PAWS gave me medicine to treat tapeworms. The vet later informed me the medication was for roundworms and would have no effect on tapeworms.

•You can call Cranbrook or Trail SPCA, but it is not their jurisdiction.

•I was also referred to the Creston Spay Neuter Animal Program (SNAP) for neutering. Cats must be six months old, which was fine for the mother. A donation was expected in Creston, with lower rates in Bonners Ferry. The mother rebred during this time.

In desperation, I scooped up the mother and kittens and took them to PAWS. They were refused. After a heated discussion (on my part) with the volunteer on duty and the past-president, I was asked to leave the premises.

And if I left the cats, I would be charged with abandonment! What a futile exercise in frustration!

History repeats itself. A cat with five kittens (now four) is here. I emailed PAWS and the response was the same as last year: not its problem.

This whole situation stinks. These are not my cats and if I try to treat them in a humanitarian way, I will be penalized. I am extremely disappointed with PAWS’ lack of commitment to shelter these cats.

Its website clearly states: “PAWS is a registered charity committed to finding safe, loving forever homes for abused, abandoned, stray or unwanted animals in the Creston Valley.” I am angry with the Regional District of Central Kootenay and the Town of Creston for not co-operatively working together to create one bylaw to cover the entire valley. Cats don’t have boundaries.

And I especially hate being put in a position where I have to make a choice of life or death for these cats. It sucks.

Without intervention, the life expectancy of these cats is limited. If they survive starvation, predators will kill them. I have offered to catch them if PAWS could assure me they would be taken. PAWS is refusing any commitment. I simply cannot have five cats in a cage with no place to go.

Aren’t all audiences actually live?

To the Editor: I sure enjoyed Lorne’s recent column on headline bloopers (“Black and White and Red in the Face”, Aug. 13).

What gets me is something I hear quite often: “So-and-so will be performing in front of a live audience.” In my experience I have always performed in front of a live audience, save those occasions at funerals at the cemetery. Where do these others generally perform? If there is an audience, may we assume it is live?

Some airhead announcers also add: “A live recording.” Really? How else?

Municipal politics an emotional ride Cool place to beat the heat

I am fairly certain that the motto for politics is that you won’t ever win no matter what you do. Many times as a council we spend a lot of time, energy and stress making decisions that are in the best interest of the Town of Creston. Usually with the most important decisions there is next to no feedback provided by the public, but for the items that aren’t really important we get a lot of flak.

One of the biggest successes that I feel our council has accomplished so far is our recent revitalization tax exemption bylaw. In previous years, the Town of Creston has offered a revitalization tax exemption that made it so that you didn’t pay the town portion of your taxes for the first five years, and then the five years after that you only paid 50 per cent of the town portion of your taxes for a new construction in town limits or for a large renovation to a current structure for commercial developments. The exemption was somewhat constrained to the hotel service industry, which saw places like the Ramada and Creston Hotel take advantage of this revitalization tax exemption.

Our new revitalization tax exemption will be available for any new commercial venture build or large renovation in Creston. It is not limited to the hotel industry this time around. It is part of council’s prerogative to provide a good and fair atmo-

sphere for economic development in the town. This bylaw has been in the works throughout this year and was adopted on June 23 at our regular council meeting.

Council Comment Kevin Boehmer In keeping with the theme up above there has been very little public input regarding this new bylaw. That is because this is more of a big picture item that could possibly have some very positive consequences and it is not sexy at all, whereas there have been many really small issues, which often aren’t even the Town of Creston’s responsibility, that as councillors we get stopped about and someone complains to us for quite a few minutes.

I had a recent experience like this. My family and I were out and about and someone took it upon themselves to complain to me about something the town should be doing, but wasn’t. Since this happens often, I try and direct them to the appropriate channels to get this issue resolved. If someone has an issue and contacts me regarding it, I will do my best to get the issue resolved and most

LISA BERRY VANDER HEIDE to our office

Lisa is a recent Notary graduate of Simon Fraser University and was awarded the 2015 BDO Canada Award in recognition of her achievements in her studies. She resides in Sanca (on Kootenay Lake) with her husband John and loves the Creston Valley. She is available to assist you with all your notarial needs.

often times will find success. Except this person didn’t want a solution, they just wanted to complain. I am not going to use specifics about what the complaint was for, as I don’t want to embarrass someone or call them out, but this is a regular occurrence that I run up against as a councilor: People just want to complain without wanting a solution. I don’t have an issue with someone bringing up issues to me; it is very important as a councillor to know these things and I really enjoy helping to resolve these issues. But it can be very frustrating when someone just wants to complain about something, especially because I am a problem solver. Complaining just for the sake of complaining is a waste of everyone’s time, but I will always listen.

This has been the biggest challenge so far as a council, where often we deal with very important issues that the general public isn’t interested in, but is so important for the town to embark on. Other times we deal with complaints just for the sake of complaining about, most of the time, very insignificant items. I am not complaining because this is a thankless job, I am only highlighting the importance of receiving good constructive input from town residents.

We do a very good job of representing Creston residents with our current council because we have a rock star council right now. I am not sure who would play the drums, maybe Ron Toyota, but as a council we are doing a very good job looking out for the Town of Creston and planning for the future. We are not perfect, but we work really hard at making the “boring” decisions.

If you would like more information regarding the revitalization tax exemption bylaw, contact the town at 250-428-2214. If you have any issues regarding the Town of Creston (even if you just want to complain), you can email me at kevin.boehmer@creston.ca.

First off, a correction to my last column where I was describing our pool shutdown procedure, which included draining the pools. I have to admit the column was written a week or two in advance while camping on the shores of Lake Koocanusa in 37-degree heat — deplorable conditions that caused Neil Ostafichuk me to temporarily take leave of my senses. We actually did not drain the two main pools and had discussed it as a potential situation in our shutdown pre-planning back when the water restriction first went on in June. We recently spoke with Robin Douville, the works superintendent at the Arrow Creek water system which is the headwater for Creston and Erickson’s water, who gave us a good education on flows, forecasts and recovery rates.

We did discuss various options with him including slow fill rates to reduce impact to the system but in the end we elected to just drop the pool levels slightly (six to eight inches) to access some trouble spots and develop some workarounds for some of the underwater areas. We are still doing all the maintenance to the filters, pumps, piping and controls that is required, as well as all the other cleaning and painting above sea level. I look at it as being part of a community, a good one, where it appears most people respect the situation we are in with our current state of water supply — evidenced by a lot of brown lawns and droopy plants.

Sprinkle in a generous portion of anxiety as we looked out our windows to see fires burning way too close for comfort and water jumped up a few notches in importance as one realized this is the main ingredient our firefighters use to keep us safe.

OK, enough baking metaphors.

Also, as part of a community, some hard decisions have to be made about keeping facilities open for its citizens, such as the pool and splash park.

Yes, they do use some resources but the benefit in doing so is the availability to everyone, as evidenced by the numbers using them for some relief from our scorching temperatures. We have seen many people in the community complex that just came in to escape the high temperatures, reading, relaxing or checking emails in the relative coolness of the lobby. Recently, we have people coming in to get away from the smoky conditions; while we are far from airtight, we do have a pretty solid building envelope and a ventilation system where the air has to pass through filters before it gets inside. In reality, for a building this size and combination of ages, we have better airtightness and filtration than most buildings in the area so keep that in mind if you can’t get your house cool or your eyes from burning — at least for a brief period of respite.

Don’t forget to come and check out the Creston Valley Fall Fair on Sept. 11 and 12. It is always a good time to see displays, entertainment, friends and neighbours. And how many fall fairs do you get a chance to see? I noticed the maintenance crew was test fitting some of the flooring in the corners this morning as we leave the ice in and cover it with Homasote floor for this event. We’ll see you there!

Neil Ostafichuk is the recreation supervisor at the Creston and District Community Complex.

OPINION LINE

Help available for bipolar disorder, schizophrenia

In my last column (July 30), I talked about the stresses teenagers face as they transition to adulthood. Adding to that challenging journey, which all teens must make, is

severe depression on one side to mania on the other.

During a manic episode, the youth will be highly talkative, energetic, full of ideas and enthusiasms, may take risks or behave impulsively, and may even become jittery, sleepless and irritable. During a depressive episode, the youth is very tired or feels slowed down, is very sad and hopeless, has a hard time concenDr. David Smith trating or making decisions, and may the fact that 75 per cent of all also be restless or irritable. mental health conditions Different types of bipolar show up in the teen and early disorder have different adult years. extremes in moods and differToday we talk about bipolar ent speeds of cycling between disorder and schizophrenia, them, but most high or low which tend to first show their episodes last several days or signs and symptoms between longer.

Youth Mental Health

viduals who have a family member with the disorder will never develop this condition — some other trigger is often needed and research is not yet clear what that is. Many famous and highly successful individuals have bipolar disorder, in part because the manic phase can produce extreme creativity and productivity. Yet the disorder can cause havoc with family relationships, jobs and finances. Substance use, particularly excessive alcohol consumption, is common with the disorder, especially during a manic phase.

Significant mood changes can be stabilized with various medications, or their combinations, plus different types of psychotherapy. With long-term treatment, productive lives can be lived. Attention to good sleep, healthy diet and exercise, regular routines, and avoidance of mind-altering substances, along with medication and therapy, can minimize the number of mood episodes.

For more information, visit the Mood Disorders Association of BC at mdabc.net and heretohelp.bc.ca.

Schizophrenia: Perhaps no mental health diagnosis causes parents and youth more fear than schizophrenia, which is marked by losing touch with reality and experiencing hallucination, delusions, disorganization and cognitive impairment, such as poor judgement

and decision-making. But the outlook need not be bleak; treatment works, and recovery and a return to good functioning occurs regularly.

About one per cent of all British Columbians have this illness and it affects men and women equally, but first symptoms often appear for men between ages 16 and 20, and women between ages 20 and 30.

While schizophrenia also runs in families, it usually needs more than just genetics to arise, although exactly what else triggers it is not fully known. Sometimes it occurs in individuals with no family history, perhaps as a result of a subtle or past brain injury.

In the last decade, new antipsychotic medication and the introduction of EPI programs are greatly helping newly diagnosed people with schizophrenia. Like bipolar disorder, along with the right combination of medication, good sleep, healthy diets, regular exercise, established routines and avoiding mind-altering substances will help those with the diagnosis live full and productive lives.

In fact, dynamic and well-spoken individuals like B.C.’s Brent Seal, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia while a university

student and now runs a company called Seal Wellness, are helping change the face of schizophrenia.

Seal, a mountain climber, ultra-marathoner, wellness coach and inspirational speaker, as well as others who are thriving after a schizophrenia diagnosis, show that good, meaningful lives are possible with the right treatment.

For more information about schizophrenia in B.C., see earlypsychosis.ca, mindcheck.ca, the BC Schizophrenia Society (bcss.org) and the Canadian Mental Health Association B.C. chapter (cmha.bc.ca).

Dr. David Smith is an adolescent and adult psychiatrist and the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health. This series of columns on common child and youth mental health issues is a project of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substances Use Collaborative. The Collaborative involves multiple individuals, organizations and ministries all working together to increase the number of children, youth, and their families receiving timely access to mental health services and support in the Interior Health and Vancouver Island regions. The Collaborative is jointly funded by Doctors of BC and the Government of BC.

Whereas, literacy is the key to opportunity for Canadians to increase their life chances and be successful in today’s modern world, as literacy is no longer simply the ability to read and write; and Whereas, engaging children and youth in literacy programming ensures the best possible environment for getting a head start on literacy and lifelong learning; and Whereas, solid literacy skills are vital to our country’s social and economic development; literacy offers all Canadians an opportunity to make a substantial contribution to the education, growth and prosperity of Canada; and Whereas, many organizations across Vancouver, British Columbia, and Canada, including the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy, demonstrate daily - through the work in their community - their commitment creating a culture of community-based literacy and learning.

NOW THEREFORE, I, Ron Toyota, Mayor, do hereby proclaim the month of September, 2015 to be “Literacy Month” in the Town of Creston.

How to make school lunch healthier

The benefits of a healthy diet are clear and well documented. In addition to providing the nutrients a growing body needs, consuming a balanced diet helps children maintain a healthy weight. Obesity continues to be a growing problem among schoolaged children and can contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and many other adverse medical conditions.

limiting calories. Despite some controversy through the years, including some students saying the smaller portions and food choices aren’t always satisfying, states suffering from high child obesity rates have seen marked improvements.

Canada is one of the few leading industrialized countries that does not have a national nutrition strategy to implement healthy school lunches. It’s estimated that only 10 to 15 percent of Canadian children have access to school meals. These meals are not provided by a well-funded national program, but by a patchwork of individual volunteer efforts, some provincial government funding and corporate donations.

Children attending school will eat at least one meal away from home each day. A healthy lunch provides sound nutrition to give students energy to do well in school and for the rest of the day.

Children who do not eat well at lunch may have difficulty concentrating, while others may feel sluggish or tired.

Whether students purchase lunch from school or bring lunch from home, there are ways to guarantee a more diverse offering and better nutrition.

Here are some guidelines to follow.

As part of the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, the United States National School Lunch Program was revised to guarantee healthy, nutritionally sound choices, as established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for lunch. America’s school menus were altered to be healthier than ever, including more fruits and vegetables while

* Offer nutrient-dense foods. Foods should contribute to the daily recommended amounts of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Provide a selection of foods, such as lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, that will give that fits your children the nutrients Eating Year Round - Your Garden: they need. NutrientThurs, Sept 10 dense foods also help kids feel fuller, longer.

This school lunch can be made more healthy by swapping the white bread with whole grain bread and choosing low-fat milk over a sugary juice pouch.

kids to pick some of the healthy foods they will be eating. Giving kids a say in their diets will make them more likely to enjoy their lunches and cut back on snack foods.

Eating meals regularly will keep energy levels up during school and make kids less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks to fill hunger gaps. * Make small changes that add up. Switching from white bread to whole grain breads, and opting for low-fat dairy products instead of full-fat dairy products can make a world of difference. Kids may not notice a change in texture or flavor, and many of kids’ favorite foods, such as chicken nuggets, pizza and macaroni and cheese, can be made with healthier ingredients.

* Remember, beverages count, too. Giving children a healthy lunch and then packing a sugarfilled, high-calorie drink negates your efforts. Calories from beverages can quickly add up. Water is always the best option for a healthy drink. Low-fat milk and real fruit juice consumed in moderation also make healthy alternatives to sugary beverages.

Offering healthy school lunches is an important step to raising healthy kids. New guidelines and offerings make it easier for kids to get the nutrition they need for their growing bodies.

Creston help needed for BC Seniors Games elled from all parts of British Columbia, converging on North Vancouver to join in an extraordinary celebration.

The event, running until Aug.

Creston is a part of Zone 7 (East Kootenay) and has been involved in the games, primarily in track and field, cycling and in tennis.

On Aug. 25, upwards of 3,000 people, aged 55 and higher, travIn 1993, the BC Seniors Games were held in Cranbrook, where 1,723 participants competed in 20 medal sports and two demonstration sports.

In the past four years, Zone 7 participants have earned 138 gold silver and bronze medals, excelling in track and field, bowling and cribbage, among many other categories.

Participants from Creston have brought home medals in track and field and in tennis.

Zone 7 routinely sends 35-45 competitors to all parts of the province .

Among these BCSGS members, there has been a dedicated cadre of volunteers who serve as executive members and maintain functions including the duties of secretarial, fundraising, bookkeeping, registration, playdown, chairmanship, sport coordination and a few others. Though numbers are small, these tasks have always been accomplished in exemplary fashion.

This work has encouraged many of our local citizens to remain socially and physically active, contributing mightily to the health and well-being of our communities.

This year, the organization is facing a serious challenge that could present a serious obstacle to the continuation of this important work.

Valuable executive members, after years of dedicated service, are retiring.

More to Creston Valley art than just paintings

BY VAL VAN DER POEL

I am always amazed by the fact that the Creston Valley doesn’t have a wide-ranging reputation as an arts community. Maybe we don’t have a large publicly funded arts centre like Kimberley or Castlegar, maybe we don’t have a school of the arts like Nelson — what we do have is artists. We have artists in so many different media that Creston should be known far and wide as THE spot for art!

Malaga Portico, a watercolour painting by Carolyn Stone.

Although I normally only write about the Art in the Library and Art in the Chamber displays, this time I decided to expand my scope and, hopefully, yours too. Art is more than paintings; it is theatre, music, pottery, jewelry making and more.

We are lucky to have a wonderful theatre group in the Footlighters; the Creston Valley Music Teachers’ Association and the Creston Concert Society give us a variety of music throughout the year and community coffee houses will soon be offering their brand of entertainment. We have clubs

and guilds where artists and artisans share their knowledge: the Creston Art Club, Valley Mudders, the embroidery guild and the quilters guild, to name a few. There are new and old galleries and studios where you can see artists at work, as well as seeing a variety of wonderful art and craft pieces.

Many of the local restaurants and both of the book stores display art by local artists and, of course, Highway 3A from Creston to Kootenay Bay offers a number of places to see and purchase art.

Young Riondel campers and swimmers held the ribbon to open the new dock in July.

New swimming dock in Riondel RIONDEL PARKS, RECREATION & COMMUNITY SERVICE SOCIETY

Squealing, splashing, jumping, laughing, oohs and ahs were the sounds heard from the new swim dock area at the Riondel Park and Campground.

Replacing the old swim dock with a new 14-by-14-foot dock from Graham Marine was much anticipated by those who watched the arrival and installation in mid-July.

Riondel Park and Campground held

a special water ribbon cutting ceremony Aug. 15 at the campground beach.

Those in attendance were Riondel Parks, Recreation and Community Service Society members and community members, as well as regional District of Central Kootenay Area A director Garry Jackman.

Boris Kwasnycia was very instrumental in researching and recommending to the board this great addition to the campground beach, and he cut the ribbon, which was held by young local

and camping swimmers.

Deberah Shears and Mary Donald from the Many Bays Community Band were on hand to serenade guests with music. Under smoky, gray skies all enjoyed a cool Dixie cup following the short ceremony.

An official announcement was made for a $750 donation, which will be forthcoming from Teck Resources Ltd., Trail Operations. These monies will be used for future weather protection screening for the North Bay Pavilion.

Local art

The Art in the Chamber exhibit will run from Sept. 14-Nov. 6 and includes a fabulous array of art from 10 artists, and a selection of work from the Valley Mudders. A number of the artists in this show have never exhibited at the chamber before and it will be a delight to see their work in this venue.

So, even without a dedicated arts and culture centre, Creston Valley residents can still enjoy wonderful art, music and theatre, and I hope they will!

Artists interested in exhibiting their art in the Creston library or the chamber of commerce during 2016 can contact Val van der Poel at 250866-5772.

SCAM MYTHBUSTERS Busting these common myths will minimize your chances of being scammed.

• All companies, businesses and organizations are legitimate because they are licensed and monitored by the government: This is not always true. While there are rules about setting up and running a business or a company in Canada, scammers can easily pretend to have approval when they don’t. Even businesses that are licensed could still try to scam you by acting dishonestly.

• All Internet websites are legitimate: This is not always true.

Websites are quite easy and cheap to set up. The scammers can easily copy a genuine website and trick you into believing it is legitimate.

• There are short cuts to wealth that only a few people know: This is not always true. Ask yourself the question: if someone knew a secret to instant wealth, why would they be telling their secret to others?

• Scams involve large amounts of money: This is not always true. Sometimes scammers target a large number of people and try to get a small amount of money from each person.

• Scams are always about money: This is not always true. Some scams are aimed at stealing personal information from you.

GOLDEN RULES Remember these golden rules to help you beat the scammers.

• Always get independent advice if an offer involves money, personal information, time or commitment.

• There are no guaranteed get-rich-quick schemes—sometimes the only people who make money are the scammers.

• Do not agree to offers or deals right away. If you think you have spotted a great opportunity, insist on time to get independent advice before making a decision.

• Do not hand over money or personal information, or sign anything until you have done your homework and checked the credentials of the company that you are dealing with.

• Do not rely on glowing testimonials: find solid evidence of a company’s success.

• Log directly on to a website that you are interested in rather than clicking on links provided in an email.

• Never send money, or give credit card or online account details to anyone you do not know and trust.

• If you spot a scam or have been scammed, get help. Contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, the Competition Bureau or your local police for assistance.

Scammers are imaginative and manipulative.

They know how to push your buttons to produce the response they want.

The Creston Valley Advance reminds you to report any suspicious calls to Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre 1-888-495-8501

Provincial News

ICBC may hike basic insurance rate 6.7 per cent

BY JEFF NAGEL BC Local News

The Insurance Corp. of B.C. is warning motorists they'll soon pay more for basic auto insurance.

Because of a rate smoothing policy introduced by the province in 2013, this year's rate hike must be between 3.7 and 6.7 per cent — within 1.5 per cent of last year's 5.2 per cent

increase on basic rates.

ICBC president and CEO Mark Blucher said the initial calculations suggest the maximum 6.7 per cent basic rate hike is required, but pledged to work with the government to find ways to reduce that number by Oct. 30, when the formal rate application is to be filed with the BC Utilities Commission.

He said ICBC is grappling with “an unexpected and rapid escalation in the number of injury claims being reported to us in recent months.”

ICBC's bodily injury claim costs, which cover pain and suffering, future care and loss of wages, are forecast to hit $2.3 billion this year, up 64 per cent since 2008.

Higher legal and medical costs, more represented claims and more complex, catastrophic claims leading to bigger settlements are among the factors blamed for the jump.

Injury claims are up 10 per cent from a year ago even though the number of crashes is unchanged.

ICBC says more fraud is one potential explanation, as well as more minor soft tissue injury claims.

If regulators approve the request, this will be the fourth straight year of basic insurance premium increases following hikes of 11.2 per cent in 2012 and 5.2 per cent in each of 2013 and 2014.

ICBC has simultaneously reduced its optional insurance rates

— on which it competes against private insurers — in five of the last seven years.

ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said the net effect is the average customer has seen their overall auto insurance costs rise by less than 10 per cent since 2008.

Grossman said this year’s required increase would actually be “on the order of 12 per cent” were it not for the constraint of the rate smoothing policy.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said even the maximum 6.7 per cent this year is too much.

“We believe that’s not acceptable and the rate can and should be lower than that,” he said Monday.

Stone appointed ferries commissioner and former deputy minister Gord Macatee to help ICBC pare the hike.

Asked if the province might reduce the annual $160-million annual dividend it extracts from ICBC each year, Stone said those transfers are from ICBC’s excess capital on its optional insurance business and do not affect basic rates.

He acknowledged an optional rate cut would help ease the pain for the majority of motorists who also buy their optional coverage from ICBC, but made no commitment to enable that.

The Bank of Canada’s recent interest rate cut has significantly

reduced the projected returns of ICBC’s investment portfolio, Stone added.

Big Read making a big deal out of literacy tus, our quality of life and even our health.

CBAL is making a big deal out of literacy in September and starting it off with a celebration of reading in public — a read-aloud open mike night dubbed the Big Read. Reading is usually a solitary activity, done in private. Rarely do we get to share the pleasure of reading with others. CBAL — a non-profit literacy organization serving 17 communities in the Columbia Basin and Boundary region — is hoping to change that, at least for one night.

CBAL is asking community members to come together to cele-

COLUMBIA BASIN ALLIANCE FOR LITERACY

You’ll notice in this paper a proclamation (page 11) of September as literacy month in Creston. What is literacy and why is the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) making a big deal of it?

The answer is simply because literacy affects every aspect of our lives. Literacy skills include reading, writing, speaking, listening and thinking. Literacy is a big deal because literacy skills allow us to reach our full potential in both in our public and personal lives, impacting our economic sta-

brate reading. Do you have favourite books that made an impression on you or affected your life in some way? Dust them off, look up your favourite passages and come share them on Sept. 8 at the Snoring Sasquatch. This is a free, all ages event. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the fun starts at 6:30.

The first portion of the program will be dedicated to the reading of children’s material.

After the intermission, the program will focus on more adultfocused readings. If you wish to read, there will be a sign-up sheet at the door, but it is high-

business guide, the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition. There will be children’s tales from Aaron Francis and Ellie Reynolds. And what surprises will Creston Museum manager Tammy Hardwick have up her sleeve?

At this event, the sixth annual Creston Community Literacy Award will be handed out. This award is given to someone in the community who has made a contribution to literacy. If you know of someone you’d like to nominate for next year’s award, contact Hedstrom.

As the month unfolds, CBAL will be Follow the Advance online planning our programs for the 2015-16 facebook.com/cvadvance year. It will continue with familiar protwitter.com/CrestonAdvance grams: Baby Goose in partnership with the Creston Valley Library; Making Connections, a program for parents of school-aged children to learn how to help their children read Do you have your winter firewood? and learn; and, Telling our Life Stories and more.

It is also looking to add new programs this year, including a The Creston Valley drop-in computer Rotary Club has skills practice lab on Wednesday mornings, and a program on docFOR SALE uments and forms in the workplace. All of the programs are free.

How can you help?

There’s a few ways.

For one, CBAL is always interested to know what the literacy needs are in this community. If you see a gap, let it know.

Second, volunteer with CBAL. We need volunteer English as a second language tutors, adult literacy tutors and children’s tutors for a children’s reading program at participating local schools.

Third, make a donation. You’ll have a Have a Great Labour Day Weekend! chance to do this in October when CBAL partners with the Creston Valley Advance for the annual Reach a Reader fundraiser.

Donations from Reach a Reader stay in the community and fund 250.428.2266 local CBAL programs. ly recommended you reserve your spot in advance by contacting Creston community literacy coordinator Joan Hedstrom at 250-435-0388 or jhedstrom@cbal.org or Signe Miller at kenandsigne@gmail. com.

Kuskanax and Kuskonook: Is there a link?

Nelson author Eileen Delehanty Pearkes, who has written extensively on local First Nations, doesn’t have much doubt the two words could be related: “The Arrow Lakes/Sinixt and Yaqan Nukiy (Creston Ktunaxa) are known to have intermarried.

They share cultural traits that are distinct from the other Ktunaxa tribes and similar to the Salishan Kalispel, Sinixt, Skoyelpi.”

She says those Salish women or men intermarried into the Yaqan

GREG NESTEROFF Nelson Star

The last two installments in this series (Aug. 13 and 27) looked at the origin of Kuskonook (or is it Kuskanook?) on the south end of Kootenay Lake. No matter which way you spell it, the name sounds remarkably similar to another local place name: Kuskanax Creek at Nakusp.

Although they’d appear to be derived from the same word, Kuskanax is in the heart of Sinixt territory and Kuskonook is closer to Ktunaxa territory.

Kuskanax has also been spelled Greg Nesteroff many different ways Kuskanax Creek at Nakusp has been so named since the 1860s or earlier, — and it took a long although the present spelling doesn’t appear until the early 1930s. No time to decide definitive connection has been established to the similarly-named Kuskonook whether it was a creek or a river. The on Kootenay Lake. earliest mention is on Walter Moberly’s 1866 map, where he calls it 1970 letter by former MP Bert Herridge who Kushenox.

“It is entirely possible that this term was applied to more than one location,” she says. “More than anything, this mystery indicates how rapidly and thoroughly the indigenous use and history of the region was overwhelmed by settlers coming from elsewhere. So much information has been lost.”
