The value provided by Ronald McDonald House to local families whose children have need cancer treatment in Calgary is undeniable.

Now, local residents are spearheading a drive to collect pull-tabs from beverage cans and food tins. The tabs will be donated for recycling by Westcan Recyclers Ltd, which in turn pays money to Ronald McDonald House Charities Southern Alberta.

“Removing the tabs doesn’t reduce what people get for their cans from the recycling depots, but it adds enormously to the ability for this important facility to offer services to families in Alberta and B.C.,” said a quiet volunteer who has arranged for the Creston Valley Advance to be a collection point for the tabs.

“Most of us know, directly or indirectly, of a local family that has stayed at Ronald McDonald House while their kids underwent cancer treatments,” she said. “This is small and easy way that we can show our support.”

Why pull-tabs?

“The tabs from your pop and other cans are a clean source of aluminum that take up less space and are easier to store than an entire can,” says the charity’s website. “You may still recycle the entire aluminum can after you’ve saved the pulltab for the house.

“The dollars raised from the recycling of your donations of tabs are used for operations and supplies for Ronald McDonald House Charities Southern Alberta.

“These small pieces of aluminum are a way for you to help provide a home away from home for families while their children are receiving medical treatment at area hospitals.”

Aluminum tabs from pop, beer and juice cans, fish and meat tins, soups, and pet food tins can be dropped of at the Creston Valley Advance on weekdays from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

Creston firefighting team helps with Grand Forks emergency preparation

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff Creston Fire Rescue members got more than they expected when they met for their regular training session recently.

“A call came from Emergency Management BC to request support for Christina Lake and Grand Forks residents,” said Capt. Eric Graham. “From what I heard the weather forecast projected high winds and that’s what triggered the deployment of resources from other B.C. communities.”

Graham, the Town of Creston bylaw enforcement officer, doubles as a firefighter.

With expected high winds in the Boundary area for a few days, he and three other Creston Fire Rescue members packed their gear into Engine No. 2 and were headed westward at 2 a.m. Aug. 27.

“We met up in Castlegar with crews from Pass Creek and Kaslo, as well as the Castlegar Fire Department,” Graham said. “We all arrived in Christina Lake early on Friday morning to check in with the operations section chief.”

The team remained in Christina Lake, participating in plans to respond to any inter-

face fires (where forests meet residential areas). The crews also familiarized themselves with the area and located water supplies.

With winds picking up in velocity, the team moved to Grand Forks on Aug. 29.

“It looked like fire was a greater danger there at the time,” Graham said. “There was lots of smoke and ash in the air. Fortunately, the fire didn’t move as expected in those high winds.”

That evening, the Creston group returned to Christina Lake and a welcome rainfall began.

“The rain was enough to lower the risk and the word came to demobilize all the interface forces staying at Christina Lake.”

By 2 p.m. Aug. 30, the firefighters and truck were back in Creston.

The opportunity to work with other fire departments and forestry firefighters was good training, allowing the team to gain knowledge about how to set up and work together at a potential interface fire site.

“I’m glad we could offer assistance,” Graham said. “The people in Grand Forks and Christina Lake were very

appreciative of the support they received from other communities. It clearly meant a lot to them.”

In a report to Creston town council last week, fire Chief Mike Moore said costs incurred will be covered by a previously negotiated agreement.

“Based on the reimbursement rates and guidelines, an invoice for 36 hours at $565 per hour ($20,340) was sent to Regional District of Kootenay Boundary,” Moore said in his report. “This all found rate includes travel time, mileage, wages for personnel and maintenance.”

Moore said that the ability to respond to local emergencies was not jeopardized while the truck and crew were away.

“With the engine (slated) for West Creston fire protection still located at the municipal fire station, there was no reduction in the fire engine pumping capacity for the Town of Creston or fire protection areas,” he said. “Additionally, with the automatic aid agreement, both Wynndel and Canyon fire departments were advised of the decision to send a fire engine to assist and were placed on standby for all fire responses.”

RCMP have no suspect in graffiti complaints

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

A rash of graffiti complaints from Riondel has yet to lead to the identity of a suspect, RCMP Staff Sgt. Darryl Hammond said on Tuesday.

A campground sign and trailer were also defaced.

The complaints came in over a three-day span during the week and the investigation continues.

SD8 revisiting busing issue

BY WILL JOHNSON Nelson Star

The Kootenay Lake school board decided Tuesday to revisit out-of-catchment busing following a “violation of process” brought to their attention by the district parent advisory council.

Trustees had a lengthy, heated debate about two proposed resolutions that would see busing fees reinstated for those traveling to schools outside of their area.

“I think we’re stepping out of line as a board,” said trustee Bob Wright. “We’re not supporting kids to go to their local school.

We’re supporting kids going anywhere they want and we’re saying we’ll bus them there.

“What we’re saying is that some of our schools don’t measure up. But I believe in local

schools and I believe in local community.”

Wright expressed his fear that if out-of-catchment busing becomes more popular it could effectively “cripple” some local schools. Trustee Rebecca Huscroft echoed the sentiment.

“All the schools in our district come up to the same standard,” she said.

The conversation was spurred by district parent advisory council chair Sheri Walsh, who said stakeholders were denied the chance to have input into the issue as previously planned.

Trustees voted to refer the issue to the budget stakeholder engagement committee in October.

“Let’s give this at least another year’s chance,” trustee Dawn Lang said, on keeping

the fees in place. “Our feet are being held to the fire to deal with our financial problems.”

And trustee Heather Suttie said their attempts to address the issue have been too small scale.

“We have to come up with bigger solutions.”

Since 2009, the board has flip-flopped on two issues: whether they should allow outof-catchment busing at all, and whether they should recoup their expenses through fees.

According to legislation, students are allowed to attend a school of their choice, but as Huscroft put it, “we’re not legislated to pay for it.”

Supt. Jeff Jones said he’s frustrated by the indecision.

“There has been a continual debate over the last five or six years,” he said, noting that as things stand now nobody will be charged for out-ofcatchment busing until after the budget stakeholders meeting.

“Should the board decide to continue to implement the out-ofcatchment busing fees then parents will be invoiced accordingly,” Jones said.

According to operations manager Larry Brown, there were 2,168 registered riders in the district as of June 30, with 1,826 in their own catchment areas and 342 out.

Creston Irons place first in Firefighter Games

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor The second time was the charm for the Creston Fire Rescue team, the Creston Irons, which placed first in the Firefighter Games hosted by the Robson Volunteer Fire Department on Saturday and Sunday.

Competing against 14 teams — mostly from the Kootenays, with one from as far away as Sechelt — the placement was a considerable jump from Creston’s 2014 fifth-place finish, a position last year’s firstplace winner, Nelson Fire Rescue, took this year.

“We got points on every event,” said Capt. Randall Fabbro. “We were able to gain some ground with getting points in places we didn’t last year.”

“It was surreal,” said firefighter Joey Fellegi-Biro. “They took all the placards off the scoreboard and then placed each team from fifteenth up to first.”

The organizers held back and created some suspense before finally adding the firstand second-place winners’ placards to the board.

“We all just lost it,” said Fellegi-Biro. “It was so great.”

Fabbro, Fellegi-Biro, Cory Fleck and Laura Carman competed for Creston, with Carman joining the team after cheering on her fellow firefighters at last year’s event.

The Firefighter Games, a fundraiser for Muscular Dystrophy Canada, includes eight events, with an axe throw, chin-up square-off, pike pole javelin, hose roll relay, sledgehammer slam, window rescue (in which the Irons placed first in both heats) and hoisting challenge leading up to finale, Mayday Mayday Mayhem. It’s an obstacle course featuring a slip and slide, a water jet-filled tunnel and a “home” firefighters must extract a victim from, breaking through a door along the way.

The Irons went into the final with 87 points and earned 50 for the best time, 1:15, four seconds faster than Robson.

This year, Creston had a better showing than last year in a few events, notably the axe throw and pike pole javelin, in which they earned no points last year. But their improvement had nothing to do with practice.

“We thought we’d get together and do a couple things,” said Fabbro. “But really, it’s all for fun anyway, so

why train and go out there at 110 per cent? We work together as a team and come through.”

He and the team appreciate the support from the community, as well as the hard work the Robson crew puts into hosting and planning in the event.

“It’s fun from the day you get there to the time you leave,” said Fabbro. “At the

With no losses in five exhibition games, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats are ready to start the 2015-2016 season by visiting the Chase Heat for their season opener tomorrow night and the Sicamous Eagles on Saturday.

Having no experience against either team last season, head coach Jeff Dubois said the Thunder Cats will watch some footage from last season, and then play the best game they can.

“We have a bit of video at our disposal from last year that we go through with the guys,” he said, noting that former Golden Rockets coach Ty Davidson now coaches the Eagles. “We kind of understand the style that he likes to play, but again, we’re not

And he plans to take his team back for more next year.

“I plan on having a team to represent Creston every year, if not two, if we can,” he said.

familiar with their players beyond having had a chance to watch some video.”

Friday’s season-opener closely follows a six-game exhibition schedule, which saw the Thunder Cats beat the Beaver Valley Nitehawks 2-1, the Grand Forks Border Bruins 10-1 and the Fernie Ghostriders 5-3, and tie Fernie 2-2 and Grand Forks 4-4.

(The final game, against Beaver Valley, was slated for Tuesday night after press time.)

Through those games, Dubois said, the team was pared down to 26 from about 32 left over from training camp, with a final few to be cut before tomorrow’s game to bring the team down to its 23-member maximum.

Throughout the exhibition series, a few players stood out, and Dubois is confident fans will enjoy watching them this season.

He expects good things from defenceman Liam Bell, from Vancouver Island, and Jayden Smith, who came to Creston from Calgary, is a “powerful, hard working, smart kid with good offensive tools.” And Montreal recruit Marc Gagnon has “been full value — a real smart, puckmoving defenceman.”

Fans will also be happy to know that the Fernie Ghostriders should again provide strong competition, which should be seen at the Thunder Cats home-opener on Sept. 19.

“Their captain, a guy named Cole Keebler, I fully expect to be one of the top guys in the league this year,” said Dubios. “Based on what we’ve seen so far in two very close games with them, I expect it to be another good year for that rivalry.”

As, along with much of the world, I followed the Syrian refugee crisis as it hit the headlines last week, I couldn’t help but think about how easy it is to take our own lives for granted. While most of us likely don’t have a refugee story in our family history, unless we have surnames like Louie, Luke and Basil, we do have histories of immigration.

In a phone chat with my 87-yearold mother this week I asked for a refresher as to how my ancestors got to Canada. She has plenty of physical ailments, but Mom’s memory is still sharp and quick.

My dad’s father, Jim Eckersley, came to Canada from Lancashire in the mid-1920s, an adult travelling with his parents and siblings.

They bought a small farm just south of Fernie. He would marry Teresa Jarina, whose Czechoslovakian parents would arrive first in the eastern U.S. before making their way across the continent to settle in the now mostly forgotten Michel-Natal area near Sparwood, where mining jobs were the major draw.

Mom’s father, Harry Bath, married his wife Rose in England, then left her behind with a child as he and Rose’s brother set off for Canada in search of a better life.

Harry first worked as a farm labourer in Saskatchewan. He loved the work, but moved westward when he realized he would never earn enough to bring his wife and child over to Canada. He arrived, also in the mid-1920’s, in Michel, where coal mine jobs paid better, even though work days were irregular.

Sad that his lungs, damaged by a Nazi mustard gas attack while he fought in French trenches in the Great War, would be subjected to a lifetime of coal dust and often impure air.

Two years after his arrival in Canada, Rose and baby Ron were able to join him.

For my four grandparents, life never was easy. With not much education, they scratched out livings

Lorne Eckersley from logging and mining, raised their families and ended up in Fernie, away from the soot-blackened houses, yards and roads in Michel and Natal.

Rose died of cancer in 1959 and Harry worked a few more years before retiring. I can still remember the night in the late 1970s when Angela and I, with my Uncle Ron, paid our last visit to him as he laid in the hospital, semi-conscious and gasping for air that even an oxygen mask couldn’t force down into his hardened lungs. He died a few hours after we left the hospital that night.

Pop Eckersley had a happier retirement, as he fed his passions for gardening and woodworking at their West Fernie home. But Jim and Teresa’s final years were less happy.

They lived in an apartment after they sold their home, he slowed by heart ailments and she now blinded by the diabetes she had suffered from for years.

Wealth was one thing none of my grandparents ever experienced.

They couldn’t even afford cars near the end of their working lives.

None ever made the trip back to Europe. I doubt that it was ever a consideration as they struggled to

keep up with the costs associated with home ownership. They were proud Canadians, though, appreciative in the knowledge that they, or their parents, had taken the risk of sailing into a great unknown in search of opportunity.

In comparison to the waves of refugees and unsettled immigrants who have come to Canada’s shores, they were simply economic opportunists. They brought next to nothing with them except a willingness to work. Three were lucky enough to have been born in England — that gave them a slight upper hand even if they weren’t well educated. My grandmother’s family would always be referred to as squareheads or bohunks, simply because they came from a country a few hundred miles to the east of England.

As I listened to and read about the plight of millions who have streamed out of Syria, I thought back to the all-too-regular times in Canadian history when immigrants from too many other countries have arrived with little else than hope for a better future. And I was disgusted by Stephen Harper’s ice-cold assertion that Canada has the most generous immigration policy in the world.

The simple fact is that the Conservative government has been enthusiastic about immigrants who arrive with piles of cash to spend and invest — one need look no further than the Lower Mainland to find the proof in the cost of housing. Canada will not solve the big picture problem that is the Middle East, and under a Conservative government we won’t even try. But we should offer a ray of hope to more families than we have accepted to this point.

Only impermanence is permanent

In this column, I’ve been writing about “Mountains and Rivers Sutra”, an essay by 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen. If you have just started reading this column and want to see the 16 that have preceded it, go to www.zenwords.net and link to “dharma talks.” I post the column to a blog a week after it is published in the Advance.

Dogen writes, “Because green mountains walk, they are permanent.” The word permanent might be misleading because there is only one thing that is permanent — impermanence. When people say, “I don’t trust him or her,” I answer, “You can absolutely trust them. You can trust them to be themselves.” Similarly, you can trust impermanence to be constant; it is the one thing that you can trust. Things come and go; you can trust that, always.

And ironically, there is salvation in that. If things are really bad they won’t last, so don’t worry. If things are really good they won’t get boring, so don’t worry. Nothing stays the same. And that’s a good thing, because if something that is really good stayed that way, it would soon turn to be really bad. It’s good because it’s impermanent.

For example, your son’s first wed-

ding is not every day. That’s why it’s so great. Imagine if your son’s wedding was every single day. Every day you would have to deal with all those relatives, all the champagne, all the food. It would soon get tiring. But

A Zen'sEye View Kuya Minague because your son’s first wedding is only once, and it will be over at the end of the day, it is truly wonderful.

So that’s what Dogen is saying here. Because the green mountains are constantly walking they are truly constant. This quality of constancy is one of the greatest virtues of Zen training. That’s why exciting people don’t usually stick with Zen practice.

Zen virtue is not brilliant. It’s not a flashy enlightenment experience. In Zen training, we don’t try to achieve great heights, because if we achieve great heights, we miss our life as it is.

The great height is to be alive together in this world. There is nothing

beyond this. So, to think you are going to have a fantastic enlightenment experience is to miss the awesome presence of your life as it is, here in this moment.

True Zen practice is the constancy of showing up, of being there, of bringing your whole heart to every moment of your life, whether in the zendo or on the fifth day of a retreat, whether you are cleaning garbage on the street or wiping your kitchen countertop. Zen virtue is the constancy of putting yourself right in the middle of the walking mountains, of the ever-changing reality of moment to moment living.

Suggested practice: Take some time to notice where you are operating on the assumption that something — bad health, good health, abundance, poverty, happiness or unhappiness — will always be present. Remind yourself that this too will change.

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 Fishcher.

Emergency plan needed for town’s water supply To the Editor: It rained! And thank goodness the rain was not accompanied by lightning.

It appears the water users of Arrow Creek lucked out again. We surely dodged a bullet this summer, a bullet that will, I’m sure, strike home some summer day in the future.

I believe it is inevitable that Arrow Creek will suffer a fire during some future dry spell. And how destructive that fire will be to its forest, its flora, its soil and the quality of its water will depend on where the fire gets started and how long the fire burns. If the fire starts in an area easily accessed by firefighters, then we should be able to limit the damage. But if lightning should start a fire in one of the creek’s inaccessible areas (its headwaters area, for example) then all bets would be off as to estimating what damage the creek would sustain.

Access to the creek’s headwaters area by earthbound firefighters (and their equipment) is, and would be, hugely limited. So a fire in that area would, no doubt, be fought (initially at least) by helicopters carrying water or chemical retardant. Water would have to be bucketed from Kootenay Lake or its river, and retardant flown from the Lister airport.

Either way, round trips from those places to a fire in the back of Arrow Creek would take time, and time and distance are critical factors in how quickly helicopters get the jump on a fire.

Even though there are several small lakes in the general area of Arrow Creek, I feel strongly that those tiny, environmentally vulnerable mountain lakes should never be required to sacrifice water (and fish) to fight a fire.

OPINION LINE

People in our valley have, this past summer, witnessed two examples of forest fires that were started by lightning, fought initially from the air (helicopters), later by firefighters and helicopters, burned for several weeks and were eventually extinguished by a natural event.

The Parker Ridge (Idaho) and Mount Midgely fires should be viewed as examples of what could very well be Arrow Creek’s fate if it was to suffer a fire. But, there are things that could be done that would cut down the chances of a fire (in our town’s most important water source) becoming the major fire that destroys forest, soil and water quality. But that is another story entirely.

Oh, yes, there was another downside to this summer’s heatwave. Some water controllers say brown lawns are beautiful, but I doubt if local realtors or the people trying to sell their homes and property in Creston think that brown is beautiful. I don’t believe this “scorched earth look” helped sell Creston as the place to settle down in, this summer.

People of Creston and Erickson: We need to preserve what we have and seek more of what we are short of — water!

Norman Simmons Creston (Editor’s Note: Several copies of Simmons’ publication, Water: Who Needs It? (featured in the May 7 issue), which discusses the Creston Valley’s water supply, are now available at the Creston Valley Public Library.

All should take part in political process To the Editor: On May 16, I had the privilege of meeting in person B.C. Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon when she visited Creston. It

was quite an experience indeed! I also met Justin Trudeau when he came to town in the summer of 2013. He seemed like a very nice young man.

With our 42nd federal election just 39 days away, I thought this would be a good time to share my conservative philosophy with you, which includes a wee bit a history lesson, so please bear with me.

During the late 1970s, I became politically active for the first time when I was a supporter of the NDP. However, by the early 1980s, I was becoming disillusioned with the direction the party was taking. Then, one day, it happened: I experienced an epiphany that can only be described as a feeling of being reborn, and made the decision to forever become a conservative because I wanted to do my part to defeat communism, thus bringing a peaceful end to the Cold War without ever having to fire a shot!

Fast-forward to 2015: The greatest threat to world peace is ISIS, which is the most evil and sinister enemy since fascism, and must be defeated in order to prevent a possible third world war.

Anyway, back to our federal election, which may very well be the most historic in Canadian history. It is imperative that everyone should participate in the political process — including more women, First Nations and all our young people, because you would be surprised by how powerful the democratic system can be when it is properly harnessed!

So on Oct. 19, vote with your heart and soul for whomever you feel would make the best prime minister, as well as for the benefit of future generations.

And who knows? Someday it may be possible for the five parties (Conservative, Liberal, New Democrat, Green and Bloc Québécois) to work together in order to create a beautiful heaven-on-Earth society for every man, woman and child (with a little help from the Lord, that is).

In conclusion, take care, and I will see you at the all candidates’ forum on Oct. 1. It should prove to be most enlightening!

Warm weather kept disease down

This year started off like many others; however, it soon became apparent that spring 2015 was going to be early.

One of my daughters went skiing in February and the folks at Whitewater in Nelson described it as good spring skiing conditions, meaning the snow was melting fast and we were in for another early gardening season.

Nursery Notes Evan Davies As most of the annuals are grown from seed on a preplanned schedule attempting to maximize the use of heated greenhouse space, one can only push them ahead by a week or two.

The nursery stock held up well, given that early seasons always hit us with late frosts. The orchard crops all received good pollination.

As the season progressed, the heat units kept building up and the continuous sunshine and lack of rain

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 7

dried everything out. It was a real chore to keep all the new trees and shrubs moist enough to establish this year, even with automatic watering in some areas.

Another real challenge this year was the insects. They grow based on heat units. Pests were a lot earlier than normal. This makes it harder to find them on time and even harder to control them. Some bugs even have an extra life cycle in warm years.

The only real plus to the warm and dry weather in the garden seems to have been a suppression of fungal disease like scab on apples or blight on tomatoes.

By now, the air has cleared up and the kids are heading back to school.

There are fall crops of apples, pears and plums to harvest, along with the garden. After about a year of not having any spare time to plant in my test orchard, we put in four kinds of hazelnut trees developed in Oregon to be resistant to the eastern filbert blight.

Oregon grows about 99 per cent of the hazelnuts in the U.S.A. and most of them are for export, according to the growers there. These little trees were tissue cultured — grown in a lab and tested to be free of the disease. That is how they were allowed into the country.

Another import tree that I’m testing

out is the Balaton sour cherry. It is from Hungary originally and has a sweet tart taste that is becoming more popular for eating fresh. Most folks think sour cherries are for processing.

We also planted some of the more common tart cherries, Montmorency.

They are known to be rich in antioxidants and can help to fight heart disease and cancer. To my knowledge, cherries all have some anti-inflammatory properties that help relieve the pain of arthritis and gout.

We also took advantage of the lull in nursery activity in the last week of August to plant a hedge of Sky Rocket junipers. These low-maintenance plants are drought tolerant and deer resistant. They won’t grow too wide so they were planted on a four-foot spacing. The rain even came along and helped water them in. I’ll still make sure they get a good soak once a week until freeze-up.

Remember that any containerized plants can be planted throughout the growing season. They aren’t losing any roots, just gaining extra space to grow into. Digging plants from the field is a little different, though. Think fall or spring for those operations.

Evan Davies owns Beltane Nursery at 2915 Highway 3 in Erickson.

On Aug. 31, Special Olympics Creston held its annual barbecue and registration for athletes at Centennial Park.

Overwaitea Foods generously donated all of the buns and condiments for the hamburgers and hotdogs, and Famous Fritz donated the delicious hamburgers and uberdogs. A birthday cake was served in honour of one longtime executive member Shelagh Schmidt, who has worked with Special Olympics for over 30 years.

Along with the evening the Special Olympics fundraising draw took place with Jennifer Chambers drawing the winning tickets for first, second and third place. Chambers is a wonderful quilter and graciously donated a king-size quilt to Special Olympics for a fundraiser to help send four of Creston athletes to the nationals in Newfoundland in 2016, as well as other expenses.

Peggy Skelton won the quilt (first) prize, with Joe Schlapsi winning second prize (hockey stick autographed by the Vancouver Canucks’ Daniel Sedin) and Corinne and Clair Lemarie winning third (hemp rucksack donated by Evergreen store).

“Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt,” says the Special Olympics oath.

Fundraising with raffle ticket draws and the annual bottle drive are Creston Special Olympics’ main source of income. It does apply for any grants that are available each year, and will always be eager to accept donations from anyone who cares to donate both their dollars and their time in helping out with many ongoing programs. Any and all donations are greatly accepted and appreciated.

There are a lot of expenses that come along with 10 different sports that athletes can join up for and participate in. These sports include bowling, (presently Creston’s largest event), floor hockey (in which four athletes will participate at the nationals), swimming, bocce, golf, rhythmic gymnastics, curling, T-ball, power lifting and fundamentals.

Some of the expenses include purchasing of sports equipment for all of the different programs, facility rental where athletes practice and program registration costs, as well as expenses in travel throughout the year for competitions and lodging.

This year on Sept. 12, Special Olympics Creston will be having its annual bottle drive. Extra Foods generously donated 1,750 bags to use in the collection of bottles. Along with these bags, athletes, staff and executive members have printed, rolled and delivered fliers to 12 different areas in Creston.

Thank you to all of our hard workers and also to the seniors from Crest View Village wanting to help out and support.

If you haven't received a flier at your door by Sept. 12, but would like to donate, call 250-4023008. Special Olympics also has an account set up at Columbia Bottle Recycling where bottles and cans can be donated throughout the year. The bottle drive will be starting at 8:30 a.m., and the collection of bottles and cans will run until 1 p.m.

Creston Special Olympics extends its appreciation in advance for the upcoming donations.

Without the community’s help, Special Olympics Creston would not be able to continue.

Changes starting at Red Jade RED JADE MARTIAL ARTS After 26 years of learning and teaching martial arts, shifu Neil Ripski is high demand for workshops worldwide. In the past year, he has taught in Italy, Israel and the U.S.A. This fall, he will be returning to Europe and Israel to teach.

Red Jade Martial Arts also serves as a meeting place for instructors from around the world. Teachers from China, Israel, Scotland, New York, Chicago and other part of the U.S.A. travel to Creston to participate in Ripski’s full-time training course.

As of this fall, Ripski will be restructuring his classes in a manner comparable to traditional Chinese kung fu families. The family will accept students from the public only twice a year, and evaluate them as potential training participants. As with a traditional family, the training will be done in small groups, with no secrets withheld.

Several instructors teach at Red Jade, as well as many skilled international instructors. Current instructors include Ripski, a master of drunken boxing; David Huscroft, a second-degree black sash; and Jason Deatherage, a third-

degree black sash. David Mannes, a first-degree black sash from New York, is teaching at Red Jade early this month.

Red Jade Martial Arts has moved to a new location at 3305 Erickson Rd., and will accept new students only in September and January, unless the potential participant is invited by another existing family member. For a drop-in fee, prospective students can come to a class, to see if they are interested in joining the Red Jade family.

The band features MacKeeman (fiddle, feet, and vocals), Mark Geddes (bass, drums, percussion, mandolin, and banjo), Thomas Webb (vocals, banjo, guitar, pedal steel guitar, and bass) and Peter Cann (vocals and guitar).

Borealis String Quartet starts the new year off right, appearing Jan. 16. One of the most dynamic and exciting worldclass ensembles of its generation, the Borealis String Quartet, consisting of Bo Peng (cellist), Nikita Pogrebnoy (violist), Patricia Shih (violinist) and Yuel Yawney (violinist), has received international critical acclaim as an ensemble praised for its fiery performances, passionate style and refined musical interpretation.

Borealis has toured extensively and performed to enthusiastic sold-out audiences in major cities in North America, Europe and Asia. Strongly committed to the great traditional quartet literature, the group actively seeks to promote new works and is a strong advocate of Canadian music, including R. Murray Schafer, Omar Daniels, John Stetch and Peter Tiefenbach.

The matinee presentation of iLumiDance on Feb. 28 makes it perfect to bring a young aspiring dancer to.

Utilizing electro-luminescent wire, fibre optic fabric, black light and other special effects, Rainbow Dance Theatre’s artistic directors create a world of wonder in iLumiDance, delighting audiences young and adult with its magic and humour. This tour-de-force of virtuosic dancing and cutting-edge technology opens on a darkened stage with illumi-

nated puppets and dancers, where creatures appear to float, swim and dance.

The audience is transported into a world of wonder and surprises where humans morph into animals, flowers grow to amazing proportions and defy gravity, and serpents and owls disembody and reassemble in the blink of an eye!

The final performance of the season features the Symphony of the Kootenays on April 10. Founded in 1975 in Kimberley, SOTK has been delighting the region’s residents ever since. Today, the symphony boasts 46 musicians, 29 of whom live and work in the Kootenays. Jeff Faragher, SOTK’s principal cellist for several years and current music and artistic director, is known for his energy, presence and desire to connect with audiences, and brings a fresh and exciting quality to the stage that draws the listener in. Celebrating its 40th anniversary season, SOTK presents

Symphonic Energy, and will feature clarinet soloist Nicole Eggerton and will include the uplifting “Symphony No. 2 in C Minor” by Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky, Mozart’s “Clarinet Concerto in A Major”, as well as “Frenergy” by John Estacio.

An additional bonus this season is that as you lose yourself in the entertainment, you will also lose yourself in the new comfortable seating in the Prince Charles Theatre, thanks to the efforts of the Creston Community Auditorium Society in conjunction with numerous other community groups.

Season’s passes are available at the Creston Valley Fall Fair for early bird prices of $90 for adults or two for $170; after the fair, passes are $95 for adults, $45 for students and $245 for families, available at Creative Fix.

Regional News

Mexico dream reality for former Crestonite

BY BRIAN COOMBS Kootenay News Advertiser Sometimes when a person leaves the community and then gets back in touch, you find that they are living a quiet, average life, much like your own.

This is not the case with Leeane Vanderkooi, the proud owner of Casa Kootenay, a resort-like bed and breakfast in La Paz, Mexico. She is also a College of the Rockies graduate with strong ties to the area.

“I was born in Legal, a small village north of Edmonton,” said Vanderkooi. “It was a francophone community and all family relations mostly.”

After graduating high school in Westlock (another small Alberta community near Legal), she went to the College of the Rockies, eventually becoming a social worker.

With her parents living in Creston and running the Sunset Motel, she travelled around the area and made the most of her time here.

“My Cranbrook times were all about hiking in Marysville, parties in Kimberley, hanging out at Jimsmith or Mineral Lake and spending tons of time on Moyie Lake,” said Vanderkooi.

“In Creston, I could work at the brewery during summer vacation or the Bistro on Main. I would hike West Creston, fish on Duck Lake or wakeboard on Kootenay Lake. I remember the smell of the brewery, the lazy days in Centennial Park, bush parties, cliff jumping at the point or tubing the river. I remember looking for the shadow of bigfoot on the Kokanee cans and I hope to replicate that black and white outline on my pool wall here in La Paz.” Shortly after leaving college and while doing social work with local teens, Leeane took a three-month sabbatical to go SCUBA diving in Cyprus.

Those three months turned into 10 years of SCUBA diving and working on liveaboard boats. Some of the places she worked included Alaska, Canada’s west coast, Bahamas, Thailand, Philippines, Palau, Honduras and Mexico.

“In the 10 years I worked in 10 different locations and only three were in resorts. All the jobs were guiding or teaching recreational SCUBA diving. We were at sea all week with one night at port.”

Those years at sea enabled Vanderkooi to rack up tens of thousands of hours of SCUBA time.

“On liveaboards you rack up your hours quickly. One year I did five dives a day and many years it was four dives a day. I was so addicted to diving I would go on dive trips on my time off.”

She would guide guests on underwater adventures. While this was rewarding work, she noted that sometimes it got dangerous.

Leeane Vanderkooi “Some would think they know best and get into a real pickle and I would have to get them out.” remembered Vanderkooi. “Getting stuck in a wreck from silting up the area, or getting caught in current streams or their drysuits malfunctioning and them getting scared stiff. Try hauling up a grown man in drysuit gear and weights when they are too scared to help. Ugh.” But the rewards were more than worth any risk.

“Some of the coolest things are diving with 25-foot mantas flying over you and sinking on top of you because they crave attention, or a prowfish sitting on the sea bottom in the open and staring at you as you get close enough to breathe on it,” said Vanderkooi. “Or dancing with a giant pacific octopus that decides to jump on you and you can’t see him because of your mask, so you are yelling into your regulator and wondering what he is doing — or identifying a fish smaller than your pinky nail, or the best, seeing your guest’s face screaming with happiness and satisfaction after a great dive. Love seeing people happy with what I produced and that could be a reason why I went into the B&B business.”

A view from the terraza at Casa Kootenay.

When asked what she misses most about Canada, Vanderkooi talks of the simple pleasures of this country.

“I miss the smell of grass, the smell of clean rain, the trees in the mountains, fresh water swimming and fluctuating weather that keeps you guessing. Package me some soup, kraft dinner, hickory sticks, Hawkins Cheezies, marble cheese and summer sausage – oh, and music concerts and poutine. But I have never regretted my decision to move to Mexico.”

For Vanderkooi, La Paz was an obvious choice to start her business. The community has waterfront property, great diving and is a fairly quick flight back home. Moving into life as a business person did involve some pretty dramatic changes in lifestyle, however.

To begin with, she moved to Calgary to make money. She gave herself five years and managed to get enough for the business within three years.

While she loved her job, living in that city was difficult for Vanderkooi, but it enabled her to start her business.

“It was my first time buying a house anywhere and the first time starting a business anywhere,” explained Vanderkooi.

“It was my first time staying in one location long enough to buy bulk toilet paper or towels, so I didn’t really have a frame of reference in terms of hurdles to overcome.”

She added that being in Mexico, it is a different culture in a business sense and a person has to be both lenient and patient. Marketing can also be a challenge and she has to keep up with constantly changing tax regimes.

That said, Vanderkooi enjoys being part of a community now and staying in one place.

“I have friends here. On the boat you have co-workers that are friends and guests that are like family, but they change every week. Here, at Casa Kootenay, I didn’t expect for people to love and appreciate me so much. It makes me feel really good. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do.”

Visitors to Casa Kootenay can expect great home-cooked food, snorkeling near a sunken ship, a neaby mangrove habitat, paddle boards and aquatic visitors like whale sharks and

dolphins. The B&B has private comfortable rooms, with well-tended gardens, a terrace with a spectacular view of bay and a pool, to name only a few of the amenities.

For more information on the B&Bm visit www.casakootenay.com, Casa Kootenay Bed and Breakfast on Facebook or email Vanderkooi at info@casakootenay.com.

Thursday, September 10, 2015 Creston Valley Advance

The Advance asked the five member of Parliament candidates for the Kootenay-Columbia federal riding: 1. What do you consider to be the biggest issue or need in this riding?

2. Does your party plan to introduce some form of proportional representation? If so, when and how?

Bill Green (Green)

1. The most important issue in Kootenay-Columbia is creating a thriving economy in a healthy environment. We need more local jobs that provide family-supporting incomes, especially for young people.

Fostering small business and renewable energy, strengthening our agriculture sector, supporting sustainable forestry, responsible mining and tourism are essential for our long-term prosperity. Investment in clean technology has been called the greatest business opportunity of this century.

The Green Party will establish a Green Venture Capital Fund to aid small business start-ups and will reduce the corporate tax rate on small business. Green Party policy supports community economic development with taxation and incentive programs aimed at

municipal infrastructure renewal, energy-efficient home construction and renovation, and clean energy. Many of the building blocks are already in place here. Given the opportunity, the people of KootenayColumbia have the ingenuity, initiative, smarts and skills to build a resilient, diversified low-carbon economy.

2. Proportional representation is a Green Party priority.

Green MPs will begin work immediately to legislate the end of first-past-the-post voting by establishing an all-party democratic voting commission that will (1) review past research, (2) conduct a public consultation on the style of proportional representation best suited to Canada, and (3) make recommendations to Parliament, including draft legislation, within 12 months.

Electoral reform is of critical importance if we want to reinvigorate our democracy. A Green government will further strengthen our democracy by reducing the power of the Prime Minister’s Office, and will never force its MPs to vote on party lines.

Don Johnston (Liberal)

1. The biggest issue or need in this riding is the need for strong representation in Ottawa and the need to begin working together as a region on the issues that affect rural regions.

Close to 80 per cent of

In addition to other pre-election coverage, the Advance will be publishing federal candidates’ responses to two questions each week starting with this issue.

The questions and answers, and other coverage, can be read without a susbscription at www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca/federalelection.

Canadians live in urban communities, and rural issues are not highly visible on the national agenda. We need to have an MP who understand those issues and who can work across sectors and regions within the riding to begin to raise the profile of those issues and to build a new approach to working together.

We need to remember that the primary responsibility of a member of Parliament is to represent the riding in Ottawa. We need an MP who understands that, who has the skills and experience to do that effectively and who will be accountable to voters in the riding. I will hold annual accountability meetings in every community in the riding.

2. As part of a national engagement process, we will ensure that electoral reform measures — such as ranked ballots, proportional representation, mandatory voting and online voting — are fully and fairly considered by a special allparty parliamentary committee.

Within 18 months of forming government, we will bring forward legislation to enact electoral reform.

Our plan for a fair and open government moves far beyond electoral reform to include democratic parliamentary committees, free votes, strengthening Elections Canada, an independent Senate and voter training for high school students. It is a sweeping agenda for real change that better reflects the values of Canadians.

Unfortunately this government’s lack of respect for Parliament is matched by a lack of respect for MPs. Millions of Canadians thought they elected people to be their community’s voice in Ottawa, then watched those same people become Stephen Harper’s voice in their communities. That is something I can change right here.

A downed power line can be deadly

Wayne Stetski (New Democrat)

1. From a democratic standpoint, the biggest issue in Kootenay-Columbia is electing a member of Parliament who will be a strong voice for the people of this area and who will deal with your issues in a respectful and timely way, and to have a government that shares your values.

I have spent my entire working life in public service. I understand your values, your daily challenges and how government choices can have a significant impact on your lives.

My priorities are to help create jobs and to support families with a $15-a-day per child childcare program. I am committed to ensuring that universal health care continues, improving income for seniors and treating our veterans with respect.

In order to accomplish this we need to elect a new government: a government committed to putting you first.

Election FROM PAGE 18

In this riding, the NDP is the only choice to stop Stephen Harper and his reckless agenda for Canada.

2. An NDP government will bring in proportional representation. I am committed to making this election the last election to use the first-past-the-post voting system. No longer will a party with only 38 per cent of the vote be able to form a majority and, as a result, act with no regard for the 62 per cent who did not vote for them.

Bringing in proportional representation will result in a more diverse and representative Parliament. And it will ensure that every vote counts. In this election, voters are having to consider voting strategically to ensure that Stephen Harper does not form another majority.

This is why I’m asking voters in Kootenay-Columbia to vote together for the NDP to stop Stephen Harper. My promise to traditional Green and Liberal voters in this area is that once the NDP brings in proportional representation you will never have to vote strategically again.

David Wilks (Conservative) INCUMBENT

1. The main priorities for me in Kootenay-Columbia will continue to be infrastructure for both municipal and regional government and improvements to the Trans-Canada Highway. The Build Canada Fund, a $53 billion investment over 10 years, will provide communities with the

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 19

ability to work on infrastructure priorities. This year, funding was approved for Nakusp, Revelstoke, Golden, Fernie, Regional District of East Kootenay Area A and Creston. I will continue to ensure that funding for the Trans-Canada Highway is constant and consistent, building on the nearly $300 million of improvements since 2011. This includes projects at Clan Williams, Donald Bridge twinning and improvements throughout the National Parks.

2. Through referendum, citizens in the provinces of Ontario, B.C. and P.E.I. have rejected proportional representation and have voted to keep the first-past-thepost system. The Conservative Party supports the current system of first-past-the-post.

Christina Yahn (Libertarian)

1. I believe that an MP’s primary role is to listen to the constituents in their riding and bring those issues to Parliament. Instead of telling everyone what I believe to be the greatest issue or need is, I want to hear from the people living and dealing with the issues

Obituaries John Markwell Davis

June 21, 1928 ~ August 19, 2015

John Markwell Davis of Creston, B.C. passed away peacefully on August 19, 2015 at Creston Valley Hospital at the age of 87.

He was born on June 21, 1928 in Sevenoaks, Kent England. He was educated at H.M.S Conway Naval College.

John married Jean White on May 22, 1953 and then together with their two young children they immigrated to Canada in 1958. Creston became their home in 1974.

John loved his various hobbies, which included painting on canvas and philately. John would spend hours in his garden tending his plants. The outdoors is where he truly loved to be. Hiking in the mountains and his great respect and love for nature and the environment were well known.

John is survived by his wife of 62 years, Jean; his children Susan White, Jeremy Davis, Rosalind (Doug) Cunningham, Claudette (Rick) Platry; six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

John’s wishes were that no service be held.

Memorial donations may be made in John’s name to the charity of your choosing.

and needs that directly affect them. There will be a variety of answers to this question to reflect the myriad of issues in this riding.

It is my belief that if elected it would be my duty to act as an extension of the people’s voice.

My personal primary issue is food security. In 2014, a feasibility study revealed that the West Kootenay alone was listed as importing 95 per cent of their food and spending $224 million annually on consumption. Would

not our local economy benefit if a larger portion of that money supported our local food producers?

Of that 95 per cent, a good majority is imported from California, with droughts, fires and honeybee declines affecting pollination of major crops, which leaves our area vulnerable in terms of food security. We can avoid food shortages and price inflations through localizing food and buying local initiatives.

2. Libertarian Party leader Tim Moen endorses proportional representation being implemented in the Canadian electoral system; he encourages candidates to educate themselves on the variety of proportional representation options available and align ourselves with voting on the system that best supports our individual views.

We would create a special joint standing committee equally formed of MPs and senators to examine reform options for the House of Commons elections and Senate appointments. The Libertarian party would introduce and vote on a form of proportional representation before the next elections were to be held. I personally believe fair election reform needs to be introduced as soon as possible to properly restore democracy in Canada.

Norman Bartholomew Dyck May 28, 1939 ~ September 3, 2015 Norman Bartholomew Dyck, of Creston, B.C. passed away peacefully on September 3, 2015, at Creston Valley Hospital at the age of 76.

Norman grew up on the family farm in Alberta, and attended country school in Bergthal and High School in Carstairs.

Upon graduation Norman attended Mountain View Bible College where he met his future wife Judy Takenaka. Norman and Judy were married in 1963 and resided in Calgary where Norman received his Bachelor of Education from the University of Calgary.

While living and teaching in Calgary they had two sons, Trent and Brad.

In 1975 the family moved to the Creston area where Norman built a log home as well as a house on Kootenay Lake. He taught at school in Erickson for 18 years before retiring.

Norman was a very artistic individual who excelled at oil painting, carving, sculptures, and bronze cast creations.

Norman was an avid outdoorsman who loved to camp with family and friends. Hunting and fishing were also passions of his, whether he was fishing for trout on Kootenay Lake, or salmon and halibut on the West Coast.

Norman married Pearl Anjanee Gyan August 20, 2005.

Norman is predeceased by his parents, four brothers, two sisters, and his first wife, Judy.

Norman is survived by his sons,Trent (Araxie) and Brad (Joanne); five grandchildren; two brothers Paul and Jim (Mary); sister Lorna, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Norman is also survived by his wife Pearl Anjanee and her family, Atma (Karen) Persad, and Aum (Chris), Nicol, five grandchildren, and Anjanee’s family and friends abroad.

A Memorial Service was held September 9, 2015 at 11am at the G.F. Oliver Funeral Chapel.

Ltd. 2016-2021 Forest Stewardship Plan for Forest Licenses A20194 - Arrow TSA and A30172 - Kootenay Lake TSA. Please be advised that Kalesnikoff Lumber Co. Ltd. is advertising a Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) to cover the entire area of Arrow and Kootenay Lake Timber Supply Areas, while excluding all actively managed area-based tenures including Woodlots, Community Forests and Tree Farm Licences.

The Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) is a landscape level plan, which is focused on establishing objectives, strategies, and results for conserving and protecting timber and non-timber resource values within crown lands slated for future forest management activities. The FSP is the primary referral process for notifying the public, First Nations, and government agencies as to the location of Forest Development Units (FDU's) and the strategies and results that will apply to the respective FDU's.

The objective of this notice is to provide resource users with an opportunity to identify areas of concern within FDU's to ensure that concerns are addressed prior to development of an area of crown land allocated for the company's forest development activities. Comments speciďŹ c to the FDU's will be recorded and kept on record to ensure that comments are considered at the development stage. The FSP is available for public review at Kalesnikoff’s ofďŹ ce in Thrums (2090 Highway 3A) during regular business hours 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Alternatively, the FSP can be viewed on the company website www.kalesnikoff.com with a corresponding email for the public to provide written comments on the plan.

For concerns to be reected in the ďŹ nal submission of the FSP, Kalesnikoff encourages all potentially affected stakeholders to submit their comments by email to tylerh@ kalesnikoff.com or in writing, attention of the undersigned by October 15, 2015.

There will be a variety of pieces to choose

Valley Fall Fair, on Friday and Saturday.

There is something for everyone! There will be tickets available to purchase to wina painting by Audrey Orosz and an opportunity to vote for the people’s choice award.

Light refreshments will be available.
