Creston town council and Mayor Ron Toyota are getting a raise after passing a motion at the Sept. 8 regular council meeting.

The increases, the first in nearly eight years, are based on a survey of the salaries of similarly sized community’s local government officials.

Since Jan. 1, 2008, the mayor’s remuneration has been $20,828 and councillors have been paid $10,730 a year. Effective Jan. 1, 2016, the mayor will be paid $26,000 annually and councillors’ salaries will be $13,000 annually.

One third of the remuneration amounts are allowances for the expenses incidental to the duties of council members.

The new policy includes an annual adjustment based on the change in the BC Consumer Price Index for the previous calendar year. As well, surveys of similar sized communities in the province will be conducted every four years, starting in 2018, so that the council of the day can see where it stands in comparison.

Total increase to the budget for the remuneration adjustments will be $10,474, which will be included in the 2016 budget.

Water restrictions back to Stage 2, may be lifted

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Water restrictions could be lifted by the end of September if weather forecasts hold true, Creston town council learned at the Sept. 8 regular council meeting.

Arrow Creek flows are only 25 per cent of expected levels (see graphic at right), town engineering director Colin Farynowski said.

“But after this weekend’s forecasted hotter weather temperatures are expected to drop and we will be able to move back from Stage 3 to Stage 2 next week,” he said. “By Oct. 1, we should be able to lift all restrictions.”

The move to Stage 2, which occurred Monday, allows watering of lawns only from 6-10 a.m., watering of gardens, trees and shrubs only from 7 p.m.-10 a.m., watering of gardens, trees and shrubs by watering can or handheld hose anytime, and washing of sidewalks, walkways, driveways, exterior building surfaces, vehicles or other outdoor surfaces only from 7 p.m.-10 a.m.

Council Briefs •Council approved a request from the Creston Valley Forest Corporation to place wooden “cookies” on the town fence along Northwest Boulevard and Cook Street. The “cookies”, thin tree slices, will be painted by Grade 5 students working with the theme, “When you look to the forest what do you see?”

As many as 100 pieces of the resulting art work will be attached to the chain link fence above the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market site, adjacent to the colourful wooden sturgeon painted by students four years ago.

•Terms of reference were approved for a council select committee to make recommendations to town council regarding the Creston and Area Youth Engagement Strategy. The committee, yet to be appointed, will include two representatives from the Teen Action Committee, three

whom are involved with youth programming, one member of town staff and two councillors.

•An application for a regional Community to Community (C2C) grant will be made. If approved, the town and Regional District of Central Kootenay will work together on a Family Day event.

•Council received a letter from Erickson Elementary School student Peyton Harms, who is serving as a Mathletics student ambassador. Mathletics is part of the World Education Games, which will take place in October.

•Creston Fire Rescue Chief Mike Moore reported that a fire engine designated to serve West Creston and a portion of the Creston flats will be delivered to the area on the day of the Corn Creek picnic.

•Council directed staff to meet with the owner of the property at 1025 Canyon St. and the operator of Golden Flour Bakery to discuss a request for freight unloading access for the business.

•Ross Beddoes reported that a resolution at the upcoming Union of BC Municipalities convention in Vancouver will promote discussion about making provincial funding available to reduce interface fire hazards on private properties.

Issues from page 2

“The only way democracy can function in Canada is if people find something that does interest them and get involved,” Falconer said. “We have daycare, jobs, servicemen overseas — there’s something for everyone.”

Falconer has a unique perspective on one issue. His father, David (most recently principal at Canyon-Lister Elementary School) was a Chilean political refugee with a Jewish background — and as a Canadian eligible for citizenship in Chile and Israel, he’s looked closely into Bill C-24, the most controversial topic that’s been discussed on his page.

“I think people have been very surprised at how far-reaching it is,” he said. “I think peo-

ple are concerned that if they’re eligible for other citizenship, it puts their own Canada citizenship in jeopardy.”

“Creston is surrounded by forests, with many private properties interfacing directly with Crown land,” he said. With the high number of forest fires threatening inhabited areas this summer, Beddoes said it makes sense to be reducing hazards, even on privately owned land.

•Council agreed to continue the use of firefighters and equipment to respond to medical emergencies, which Creston Fire Rescue Chief Mike Moore said has had a positive impact on service to the public and for the work experience program firefighters who do most of the responses.

“Our people and equipment are often the first to arrive at a scene and this gives our WEP team valuable experience in their training,” he said.

Moore said that the service is especially important when both of the local ambulances are busy when an emergency call comes in.

The discussion was prompted by a letter for the City of Burnaby, which expressed concerns that increased wait times for BC Ambulance Service response to emergencies was having a negative impact on its fire department’s resources.

Moore said that he understood concerns in larger urban The Syrian refugee crisis is another current topic that has created a lot of discussion on Just the Issues.

The page’s followers have expressed their appreciation to Falconer for creating a forum to interact with the candidates and other voters.

“It’s very much bringing Ottawa to the local level,” he said. “They really want to feel a local Kootenay person is representing us.”

And by helping voters to identify and explore the issues, it helps them become emotionally engaged — hopefully to the point where they get out and vote.

“I don’t think people fully appreciate what we have here in the democratic system,” he said. “Not voting, in a very real way, is the same as voting.

Thunder Cats win two on opening weekend

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats started the season with a bang, winning both games in a two-game weekend road trip to Chase and Sicamous.

“It’s good to get that in right at the beginning of the year,” said Thunder Cats head coach Jeff Dubois. “You set the team at the beginning of the week, and then you have time to get away and do some bonding.”

The road trip took the Creston team to Chase on Friday, where they earned a 3-2 victory over the Chase Heat.

Scoring started with a Heat goal early in the second period. It was quickly followed by Creston goals by Logan Wullum and Liam Plunkett, with Jayden Smith adding a third with 1:55 remaining.

In the third period, “Chase did a pretty good job of dialing up the pressure, so we had to battle to maintain that lead,” said Dubois.

Chase scored only one more goal, with three minutes left in the third period.

Dubois was pleased to see Albertans Plunkett and Smith score their first Kootenay International Junior Hockey League goals in that game.

“We’ve brought in some guys

we were really hoping could be involved offensively and make an impact at that end of the ice,” he said. “To see those guys get off to a good start was impressive.”

Now in his fourth season with the Thunder Cats, 18-year-old goalie Brock Lefebvre was instrumental in the victory, blocking 45 Chase shots.

“He made a handful of big stops, and certainly was full value for the win,” said Dubois.

On Saturday, the Thunder Cats earned a 7-3 win over the Sicamous Eagles, thanks to Carson Cartwright, James Severs, Austin Steger and Alec Wilkinson, who scored five power-play goals.

HYDRANT FLUSHING & MAINTENANCE Please be advised that Town Crews will be carrying out the annual fall hydrant flushing and maintenance program starting September 14, 2015 and continuing for approximately 4 weeks.

Your water may become cloudy during this period. Should this happen, we ask that you flush your lines by running cold water to clear any murkiness. Thank you for your cooperation.

“It’s pretty impressive to see them working at so high a level so early in the season,” said Dubois.

The Thunder Cats scored three goals in the first period, one

by Wilkinson and two powerplay goals by Severs. In the second, the Eagles scored three goals, with Wilkinson adding a power-play goal at 2:45.

Cartwright and Steger scored power-play goals in the third period, with Plunkett adding a third in that period.

Dubois offered kudos to Plunkett, who double-shifted after Jack Berger was ejected after a fight, and to blue-liner Marc Gagnon.

“[Gagnon] had a real good start to both games, getting his feet moving, making smart plays,” said Dubois. “He was really strong and really visible in both games.”

This weekend, the Thunder Cats play their home opener, hosting the Fernie Ghostriders, who split their season-opening weekend with a win and a loss to, respectively, the Nelson Leafs and Castlegar Rebels.

“Having a division rival like Fernie first up on the home schedule is a great opportunity for us to come out real strong on and show fans what we’ve got against a really good team,” said Dubois.

English tutor earns annual literacy award

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The Creston branch of the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy presented the Creston Community Literacy Award on Sept. 8, with English language tutor Bev Phaneuf earning the award this year.

She was the sixth person or organization to receive the annual award, following the Creston Valley Teachers’ Association (2014), English language tutor Linda Price (2013), former Creston Valley Public Library chief librarian Ann Day (2012), Family Place (2011) and Kootenay Employment Services (2010).

“Words don’t play fair.

They’re so unpredictable.”

Bev Phaneuf Phaneuf has been tutoring an East Shore man for five years, a logical progression from her career as a teacher’s assistant, mainly in elementary schools, and later at Prince Charles Secondary School after moving to Creston several years ago.

“This person really intrigued me,” Phaneuf said. “The reading and writing were really difficult for him.”

But they were important to him — so when his car broke down, he began walking to Creston for tutoring from his home north of Wynndel.

She understands his difficulty with the English language, having had a tough time in school herself.

“Words don’t play fair,” she said.

“They’re so unpredictable.”

Phaneuf had no extra help when she struggled with education, and she’s happy for the chance to pass on what she’s learned to someone

else — someone equally deserving of an award.

“It’s his success, too,” she said.

“Sometimes he just glows.”

The Creston Community Literacy Award was presented to Phaneuf at the Big Read, an open mike night that kicked off National Literacy Month, and featured local celebrity readers, including Creston Mayor Ron Toyota, Lower Kootenay Band Chief Jason Louie, Creston Museum manager Tammy Hardwick, Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce executive director Jim Jacobsen and Community Futures Central Kootenay business counsellor Alison Bjorkman.

CANYON COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION

Big thank yous go out to MLA Michelle Mungall, Area B Director Tanya Wall, and MP David Wilks for helping us cut the cake. We really appreciate your kind words.

Our “Wall of Recognition,” our big fundraiser for the new Canyon Park upgrades, has started with a huge bang! We received 48 orders on Canada Day. A great many thanks to Tanya Wall who surprised us with a most generous matching of funds. We also had an anonymous donor of a plaque for a draw.

Contact Sylvia at 250.428.0790 or any Board member to purchase a plaque. All the information is also on our web site: canyonbc.ca Once again, we couldn’t have put on the Canada Day Celebration without the many, many volunteeers we are so grateful to have.

Our community reaps the benefits from a great volunteer network.

Volunteers are the base of any community, so please come and join us! If you are new to Canyon, it’s a great way to meet people in the community. Call Claudia at 250.428.3963 and we will put your name on the list. You can also contact us through our website.

Moving Along Together Series 2 • Week 1 What is Memory?

This is the first of 8 articles being sponsored through TAPS as part of a Moving Along Together Program (for people experiencing memory changes and their caregivers) This is funded by a Columbia Basin Trust Social Grant. In this second series we’ll be sharing these ideas to stimulate discussion and inspiration through exploring our understanding of memory, what affects it and some current information on ways to improve or maintain it.

Most people talk about memory as if it were a thing they have, like bad eyes or a good head of hair. But your memory doesn’t exist in the way a part of your body exists -- it’s not a “thing” you can touch. It’s a concept that refers to the process of remembering.

Your baby’s first cry...the taste of your grandmother’s molasses cookies...the scent of an ocean breeze. These are memories that make up the ongoing experience of your life -- they provide you with a sense of self.

They’re what make you feel comfortable with familiar people and surroundings, tie your past with your present, and provide a framework for the future. In a profound way, it is our collective set of memories -- our “memory” as a whole -- that makes us who we are.

In the past, many experts were fond of describing memory as a sort of tiny filing cabinet full of individual memory folders in which information is stored away. Others likened memory to a neural supercomputer wedged under the human scalp.

But today, experts believe that memory is far more complex and elusive than that -- and that it is located not in one particular place in the brain but is instead a brain-wide process.

So, what is memory? Memory is a mental process of storing and retrieving information. Information goes in transported by multiple systems in our body.

Then the information is stored away. How well your memory works depends on how well you saw, heard, and understood the experience and then how the memory was stored and then how easy it is to retrieve it.

What seems to be a single memory is actually a complex construction. If you think of an object -- say, a pen -- your brain retrieves the object’s name, its shape, its function, the sound when it scratches across the page. Each part of the memory of what a “pen” is comes from a different region of the brain. The entire image of “pen” is actively reconstructed through a web of neurons by the brain from many different areas. Neurologists are only beginning to understand how the parts are reassembled into a coherent whole.

Information flows from the outside world through our senses: our eyes ears tocuh smell and taste. Only the things that catch our attention goes into our short term memory. For example you won’t remember the annoying cooler sound or the lights are on but you may remember that I have a unique hat on my head. We keep short term memory for about 30 seconds, and our short term only holds about 7 things. Through some unknown way some memories that are important like hot things burn, or the names of our children get put into our long term memory where they can last possibly forever.

Ideas to consider: The mechanisms of memory can be affected by many things such as aging, medications, nutrition, stress and trauma…for example.

Do you cultivate relaxation times and strategies into your life? Games of all kinds stimulate our thinking abilities and when done with others foster our sense of well being, connection and enjoyment. Which ones do you already play? Card games, board games, books and on line, perhaps you could try something new.

A little exercise and de-stressing every day. is like the proverbial ‘apple a day’. A simple relaxation can be done by sitting comfortably, placing your hands on your belly and taking 3 breaths letting the air in and out slowly. Notice how you feel..

I doubt I was in the majority when I was pleased with a town council motion last week to increase remuneration levels for the mayor and councillors.

I felt I had a right to that feeling, having told that same group less than a year ago that I thought it was their responsibility to deal with the remuneration issue during their term, and to not simply pass it on to a future council. Some expressed a preference that a pay increase to keep Creston in line with similarly sized communities in the province should be approved, but only to take effect after the next election (which is still three years away). In their heart of hearts, I think most would have happily not even discussed the issue.

It is, without a doubt, the most discomfiting issue that any elected body faces. No one likes giving the appearance that they are using a position of trust to line their own pockets. That said, though, elected officials are put into their positions so they will make decisions, often difficult, and to weather the fallout from those who disagree. No one put it better than Harry S. Truman: If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

When council discussed the issue earlier in its term they learned that no changes had been made to remuneration levels since 2008, which means salaries had not kept up with cost of living changes. To put the decision off, or to make a decision and defer it, until after the next election meant that it would be 2018, or a full decade, before the issue was dealt with.

My line of thinking followed sever-

al paths. First, I want councils to deal with the day-to-day business of governing in a timely manner, regardless of how uncomfortable it makes them feel. Second, I think it is unreasonable to foist a decision onto a future coun-

So why has Stephen Harper imposed a 77-day election campaign on us? (It’s 78 days if you count the day he announced it, but let’s forget that for the moment.)

Well, maybe he thinks seven is his lucky number — but that’s stretching things even for an oddball politician like Harper. He can’t be that superstitious. So let’s speculate about other possibilities, as some pundits are already doing. Two come easily to mind.

The first is that Harper hopes to bore Canadians to the point that droves of them will lose interest and boycott the polls come election day.

The other is that the opposition parties will run short of funds so that they are unable to sustain effective campaigns. Harper, remember, has changed the law so that each party is allowed to spend more, while at the same time reducing the amount of election funding the parties get from the public purse — thus giving the well-heeled Tories a double advantage.

My guess is that both these motives were involved in his thinking.

In any event, his decision to subject us to such a long campaign strikes me as a sign of desperation. I fervently hope I’m right about that

because I believe Canada has had more than enough of Stephen Harper’s rule. Just look at the record.

It’s true (or maybe just nearly true) that he has balanced the books — but only after eating up the surplus left to

Lorne Eckersley cil. Third, I think it is important that elected people be reasonably compensated for their efforts. I don’t like to think that the lack of even a modest compensation might dissuade potential candidates from seeking these offices. It is a large commitment of time and energy, and one that reduces their ability to live quiet lives. The public sees elected officials as fair game for comment and criticism wherever they might be — just ask any councillor if he or she can go grocery shopping without being questioned or engaged in conversation.

I was startled to learn recently that many local government officials in the U.S. serve with no remuneration at all.

The concept of a volunteer or “a dollar a year man” might look good on paper, but I think it delivers many unhealthy messages. Doesn’t it become easy to reject public comments or criticism with, “I’m a volunteer. I do whatever I wish and don’t have to explain why because I don’t

get paid for this job”? Do capable, busy, productive people, especially in their prime earning years, really want to donate that much of their time? Do unpaid people really have enough authority to manage the managers, whose unspoken response to direction might be less than positive?

Personally, I prefer a system that reimburses, modestly, elected people for the work they do. The current mayor, like his predecessor, has chosen to make the position a full-time one. I don’t believe a town of 5,000 needs a full-time mayor, but I have no quarrel with the hours they work because neither has ever advocated for a full-time equivalent salary. At about $2,000 a month, I think we get amazing effort from Ron Toyota, like we did from Joe Snopek before him (and certainly from Creston’s gold standard mayor, Lela Irvine). And for about $1,000 a month, I think that every councillor at the table provides excellent value to taxpayers who want their concerns to be heard and all issues discussed thoroughly and honestly.

When we cast our ballots we are, in effect, participating in a hiring process. It is also a firing process, because collectively we can dismiss an employee we are unsatisfied with.

And, because we pay these folks, we feel comfortable in taking up their time so they can hear our opinions and concerns. Fair remuneration doesn’t always mean we get exactly what we want, but I am convinced it helps give us better government.

Campaign a sign of desperation

Q

The Voice of Experience Peter Hepher him by his predecessor. At the same time, he has given us a stagnant economy with high unemployment.

Meanwhile, federal spending on social services and education has been cut back, to the detriment of provincial governments and those individuals and families with low-paying jobs or none.

As well, he has beefed up Canada’s security against terrorist activity — but far beyond the level that many impartial judges consider necessary and, in fact, giving his government legal powers that those judges regard as unjustifiable potential threats to Canadians’ freedom.

Most disgraceful, most repugnant of all, however, is Harper’s response to

UOTE OF THE WEEK

the current refugee crisis, especially as it has involved Syrian refugees. From the start, it has been negative, smallminded and, well, un-Canadian.

While European countries have flung their doors wide open to these refugees, Harper’s attitude has been negative and suspicious. Does he really think that every Syrian is a potential terrorist or is he using that as an excuse to limit the number Canada admits?

Maybe it’s a little bit of both.

In any case, his performance — or lack of it — in this area should really convince Canadians that it is time for Harper to go.

With more than a month to go until election day, no party has a clear lead in the polls. If that persists when the votes are finally counted, we must hope for two things: that Harper’s Conservative have the fewest seats among the three major parties, and that the NDP and Liberals will join forces in one way or another to permit the formation of a national stable government that is committed to and capable of undoing as much as possible the harm that Harper has done these past dozen years — including, of course, the handling of the Syrian refugee issue.

Peter Hepher is a retired journalist who lives in Creston.

PAWS shelter sometimes too full to take in more To the Editor: (Re: “Few Options for Unwanted Animals”, Sept.3) Being an active volunteer at Claudia’s Place, the domestic animal shelter owned and operated by the Pet Adoption and Welfare Society, I have had many heart-wrenching moments when it is apparent that we have, once again, reached our limit of cats or dogs.

There never seems to be a limit on those that need our care. The shelter operates on donations and grants with dedicated volunteers working long hours.

When the building was first built, we all thought it would be a very long time before we used all the space. We were wrong. We need more space. We have the “cat pad” housing our general population of cats. We also have two isolation rooms, two bathrooms and a hallway that at times (like now) are all occupied. We also have fostered cats and a waiting list of cats that are slated to come in as soon as there is room.

When a cat is brought in for us to take care of, it must be kept in isolation for two weeks to make sure it is healthy enough to join our established residents. Sometimes it turns out to have some condition that prohibits its ability to live in the same enclosure as the other cats (diabetes, thyroid, etc.).

These cats need special care and food, and so must have separate quarters.

Ms. Wright sounds like a very caring and compassionate person. I feel her frustration with a seemingly hopeless situation. I am sorry she had a bad experience but would like to remind her that we are all doing our best. If Ms. Wright would be interested in volunteering, we would welcome the help.

She may even find a solution to her problem once she has a chance to see how things work.

Mary Miller Erickson

Unwanted animals shouldn’t suffer To the Editor: (Re: “Few options for unwanted animals”, Sept. 3) “The list will continue as long as their irresponsible owners aren’t stopped.”

That statement by letter writer, Ms. Wright, is true. Whether all the statements she made are true or not I cannot say. This is what I do know to be true about the Pet Adoption and Welfare Society: It can only take stray cats in if it has the room to shelter them. When there is no space available, it simply cannot take them. Often, strays have been refused by PAWS on that basis.

I also know that a partial solution to this problem was suggested by the regional district two years ago when it

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 7

Opinion Line

asked that five per cent of residential taxes be set aside each year to help PAWS shelter and feed more animals.

That suggestion was met with anger and a resounding no, by the majority of taxpayers. How many of those taxpayers have since complained about PAWS’ lack of shelter for strays?

Ms. Wright’s story is far from the only one regarding starving domestic cats and their broods of kittens. It happens continually. Irresponsible owners cannot be stopped from abandoning animals; it is an impossibility, so there is no point even discussing that as an option.

My option, when faced with suffering animals who cannot be helped by me or anyone else, would be to end their suffering. I believe the Town of Creston will pick up stray animals within the town limits and they will be euthanized. The Creston Veterinary Hospital will euthanize for a fee.

The bottom line for me is that I could far sooner end their lives than see them starving, diseased, freezing in winter or hear them screaming at night when under attack. There is no mercy in allowing their lives to go on under such conditions — condemned to a life of pain and suffering — only to die in a short time and quite likely, in dreadful circumstances. If you cannot offer food and shelter, at least free them from a cruel world and offer them your mercy.

When dealing with unwanted animals, we must face reality — they will always be a part of most of our lives at one time or another — but they need not suffer.

“The quality of mercy is not strain’d, it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. It is twice blest; it blesseth him that gives and him that takes.” —William Shakespeare Gail Bosgra Creston

Negative experiences part of local shopping To the Editor: We are all familiar with the arguments for shopping local and using local services. However it seems that we never hear the other side of the story. Here is mine.

I have lived in the area since 2007 and bought a home here. I love the area and all the outdoor activities, but I really do not like a lot of the local services and the people that run them. I could go on endlessly. But here are a few examples: •the Creston law office who wouldn’t help me with a small legal matter because, and I quote, “I can’t help you because I don’t anticipate any future business with you, but if you have any future business, please feel free to drop in.” So I went and found a Nelson lawyer and still use him today; •the big hardware store that wanted to charge me $1,200 for a set of stock house plans. So I went to Cranbrook and got the same plans from a different outlet of the same store for $650; •the auto dealership that wanted to charge me $379 to change my Toyota Matrix transmission fluid and clean the filter screen. So I went to Trail and had it done for $79; •the garbage bin service that wanted to charge me $600 to dump 25

bundles of shingles. The reasons provided for this charge were so outlandish, that I pursued the matter tenaciously and got it down to $225.

However, by this time I just said the heck with it and decided to do it myself. I had a very similar experience with a local water well company; and •the well-known local contractor who charged me an exorbitant amount to plow my driveway. As I wasn’t there at the time, I had no argument, so I paid it. Sometime later, when building my house, by chance I hired the actual individual who did the work. After comparing notes, it seems I was charged about three times what I should have paid.

I could go on endlessly as my experiences are numerous.

I have had some positive experiences here. Don’t get me wrong. But I have had so many negative ones that I am extremely wary of dealing with any unproven (to me) companies and individuals in the local area.

If you want people to shop local, try the golden rule. Treat people the way you would like to be treated. It is how I run my businesses and it is more gratifying than screwing people over for a few dollars.

McAdam was kind, generous and funny To the Editor: This letter is to honour the life of Kathy McAdam.

The Kathy I remember was funny and feisty and quirky, and loved to make jokes about her Scottish heritage.

Kathy didn’t have much but what she had she shared. She never forgot a birthday, and Christmas was very special, with gifts for all, including the garbage collector. Her buttermilk biscuits were well known!

Kathy loved her family and friends, and there were drawers full of every card and letter she received, with funny and encouraging thoughts.

Kathy was an animal lover, especially her cats, Ginger and Chelsie. But no neighbourhood animal would have been hungry for food or attention.

Kathy had so much gratitude for her life, her friends and her family.

She expressed her gratitude freely, whether in person with words and hugs, or in letters and cards and gratitude journals.

Kathy was so happy participating in job creation programs. She read everything from novels to history books to science books, and she had a strong vision of herself working at a job where she could be productive, despite the obstacles in the way.

There is no denying Kathy took a few wrong roads, but it was hard not to support her when she clawed her way back to the life she so wanted. We were not willing to give up on you, Kathy.

Although her life ended tragically, the Kathy I remember was kind and generous and funny, and always ready with a hug. Please hold her in your thoughts.

Rest in peace, Kathy.

A whole lotta local at Fooby’s

I

t’s no secret that the Creston Valley offers an abundance of fresh food, from vegetables to fruit to meat. But there’s nothing quite like seeing a lot of it in one place — and you can at Fooby’s Local Food Store, where most of the produce sold is grown within Story and five kilometers. photo by “It’s cool to see how Brian much is grown in the Lawrence Creston Valley,” said Kaitlin Viers, who owns the store at 3851 Highway 3 in Erickson.

“When I started, people said, ‘You’re gonna have to go outside for a lot.’ ” But with over 90 small farms (under an acre) consigning their goods and with 50 producers from whom she buys outright, the 26-year-old has proven the skeptics wrong.

She’d been thinking about opening a local food store for several years, but really became inspired last year when she helped a woman create a map to source her Thanksgiving dinner — even cranberries — in the Kootenays. But the woman ended up driving over 300 kilometres to do so — Fooby’s solves that problem by bringing everything together in one place.

Viers’ guidelines specify the product must be fresh, and locally grown, produced or made by a local person. That’s led to Fooby’s offering spices from three producers, berries, quince, tomatillos, beef, skilletroasted coffee, pork, rabbit, flour, tea, honey and cheese — with that many producers, the list is obviously extensive.

By expanding local to include the Kootenay, Boundary and Columbia regions, Viers has been able to bring in items not available from Creston producers, such as Jerseyland Organics cheese from Grand Forks and, soon, kombucha from Nelson. And more could be on its way.

“As soon as you go over the mountain to Salmo, there are 15 small family businesses that make food products,” Viers said.

Kaitlin Viers at Fooby’s Local Food Store at 3851 Highway 3 in Erickson.

About 35 per cent, though, is produced on-site. Viers leases about 16 acres (10.5 of those orchard and the rest garden) at the former Sun-Kee Farms, which she and her father, Kevin, grow fruit and vegetables.

“Dad specializes in heirloom varieties of tomatoes,” Viers said.

Some of the property’s apple trees are over 70 years old, and they include rare varieties such as Tydeman’s Red (“They used to be really popular in the ’60s”) and Tiger (“It’s a variety that came in the ’30s to Canada”).

The greengage plums are a bit of a surprise for customers, as well.

“I’ve had people come in and says, ‘Those are not ripe yet’, but they’re just green,” said Viers. “A lot of Albertan

tourists are astonished at the stuff we have here. I had a lady who was over the moon because of the plums — we have Italian, greengage, red, yellow, Bradshaw, pollinator and Mirabelle.”

Coming soon to Fooby’s is Roasted Oat artisan granola, and bulk grains and sugar from sugar beets are possibilities, as well.

“I am also trying to convince a couple of farmers to grow me an acre of kidney beans,” she said.

Viers opened Fooby’s on June 1, and plans to keep going through the winter, with a few crops that should keep growing as the weather gets chilly.

“We have two greenhouses, so we have peppers and tomatoes, and I planted Swiss chard and spinach,” she said.

To keep the store going year-round, Viers will start adding Christmas crafts and candy as the major growing season winds down, and in the winter and spring, she’ll offer Apocalyptic Life Skills classes, covering canning to root cellar creation to gardening through the year. She hopes to add a commercial kitchen to make it possible for more producers to, well, produce.

For now, though, Viers is happy to have met her main goals of helping farmers to sell and making it easier for consumer to buy.

“It’s important for me to have a store that sells food so farmers can concentrate on being farmers, and so customers don’t have to go so far. I wanted to show people, too, that it’s affordable to eat local.”

The Book Drop

over the past three years. Books and reading are alive and well in Creston!

We continually evaluate our collections to better manage them and understand how the community uses them. We can run reports showing how well mysteries circulate versus non-fiction, for example. This helps us determine whether to increase or decrease the shelf space and budget allocation required for a particular collection.

We also run reports listing items that haven’t circulated for a particular period of time in order to identify items to remove from the collection.

There are exceptions but, generally speaking, an item that hasn’t circulated for two years is likely to be slated for removal.

I know that many folks are unhappy to hear about the library taking books off the shelf, but the fact is that it is an important and necessary part of collection management. I would be remiss in my duties if I didn’t take this responsibility seriously.

We select items for purchase using a number of criteria, but the most important method is by direct patron

request. If a patron requests a recently published item that we haven’t already ordered, chances are high that we will purchase a copy. Approximately 15 per cent of the books we purchase are a result of direct patron requests.

We also look at bestseller lists, publisher’s hotlists and reviews in the selection process.

We receive a large number of items by donation, and are always grateful for the generosity of those who donate items to the library.

We apply the same selection criteria to donations as we do for items

we purchase. Items not selected for inclusion in our collection are given to the Friends of the Library for their book sales, which help raise much-needed funds for programs such as the Summer Reading Club.

Have comments or questions about any aspect of the library? I’d love to hear from you. Call 250-4284141, email info@crestonlibrary.com or come by in person.

Therapeutic seniors program keeps rolling along

The construction zone around Rotacrest Hall is now done and the improvements look great with easier access and parking for the upper level. This was a Regional District of Central Kootenay improvement project.

Despite the heat and smoke in August, participation and engagement at the Therapeutic Activation

Program for Seniors carried on and, of course, some folks were affected more than others. Now fall is nipping at our heels with garden harvest from the greenhouse and Harvest Share adding fresh choices to our meals. Thanks, Clayton, for all your hard work.

We want to thank Rivannah Beddall for her contribution as our

Summer Work student to our ongoing programs and for helping get us set up for the fall. Her cheerful and enthusiastic manner earned her a place in our hearts.

It’s easy to take the team for granted when the days and weeks go by with such a variety of programs and services. So we want to acknowledge Susan Langstaff and Nellie, our bus drivers and support staff, our group of regular volunteers who show up every week or on call to help with meals, dishes, programs and whatever else is needed.

their collaborations will be displayed or presented in the community with dates and locations to be announced.

Thanks to the Province of BC’s New Horizons for Seniors (NHFS) program for funding toward this project.

In June, Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall hosted a Dementia Friends workshop at the Creston Valley Seniors Association hall.

Through the Province of BC and the Alzheimer’s Society of BC, it is designed to bring awareness, sensitivity and communication tools for communities to recognize signs of impaired cognition, understand the needs of people affected and help break down fears as a way to make communities more dementia friendly. Anyone can become a dementia friend or ambassador; go to dementiafriends. ca for information. Bridget attended the session in June and has begun incorporating the information gained into mini-workshops for our TAPS participants, families and volunteers. If any group would like a short presentation, please contact TAPS. Good news on the Krafty Kronys (KK) side of things.

With TAPS moving to this new location at the Rotacrest Hall, the KK have been looking for months for a new home to store their supplies and have a gathering place.

It takes a special person to be a lifeguard

We just finished a batch of lifeguard interviews, which is a regular occurrence for us this time of year being as many of our summer staff move on to college, university or other fascinating adventures. We also have a few that return to high school (how dare they…), which some-

From the Centre Neil Ostafichuk what hampers their availability during the day.

We do get a significant return from the ones off schooling in far away places like Lethbridge, the Lower Mainland or other institutions for the summer, which we appreciate, and I’m sure Mom and Dad enjoy having them back for a defined period despite a spike in the grocery, power and Internet bills.

I enjoy most interviews; we throw some pretty in-depth questions at the applicants to determine some values, work ethics and how they might act in a crisis, among other queries (kind of important for a lifeguard). While you do your best to make them feel at ease so you get the true representation of the person, occasionally you can’t shake the “deer in the headlights” look.

Face it, for an entry-level lifeguard, many of them are still in school and this is the first real interview they have faced where it isn’t a friend of Mom and Dad or a buddy that’s gotten you an “in”. Everyone gets scored on their own merit and knowledge, and while you might get the job, as I was told a few decades ago, “this is where you now really start to learn.”

The ace up our sleeve is that the majority of the people that we hire have also done most or all of their training through us so it’s kind of like a teacher that knows a student throughout the

year — even though they might bomb the last test, they have a realistic knowledge of that student’s abilities.

We also have some more mature applicants and it is equally refreshing to get viewpoints based upon maybe a couple decades of experience. Don’t kid yourselves: Some older people get just as nervous as younger ones in an interview; in fact, I probably wouldn’t enjoy being on the other side of the interrogation lights (Kidding!

We use LEDs to save power). Anyway, the part I find enjoyable is getting to know, even slightly better, these individuals that have enough of a passion to go through considerable expense and some pretty grueling training to become a lifeguard or an instructor in our community.

A recent interviewee excelled at how they would handle a scenario in a question where a child under seven was not within arms reach of an adult because — guess what — it happened to them: that split second where you turn or blink and your toddler, who was just on deck right beside you, has taken a leap of faith, except it’s into the lazy river and they are now leaving you at an alarming rate.

couple of good outcomes from the situation — first, the toddler was fine and second, the ability of this person to communicate the importance of this basic pool rule now far exceeds any teaching method to drive the point home.

At this location since the early 1970s, many lifeguards have been trained and have done their due

diligence on either the decks of the James Ross Memorial Pool or inside at our present location. It takes a special person to be a guard and most will remember it as a special time in their lives as they move on to other callings.

year of the modern regatta, though the trophy dates from the early 1920s.

The regatta is organized by the Kootenay Lake Sailing Association with the family of Kim Deane, and sponsored by the Nelson Brewing Co., Oso Negro Coffee and Cal Renwick.

Five fleets of boats were organized and the winners were Liam Blackmore (first in the Opti fleet), Alexandra Deane and Christopher Mountain (first in the Laser fleet), Alexander Mountain and Gavin Deane (second in the Laser fleet), Dave Heath (Multi-hull fleet on a Hobie 20), Martin LeMarquand (B fleet of the keelboats and overall winner in Espresso, an Olson 25) and Jim Reaburn (A fleet of the keelboats in Orbit, a J29).

Wind and rain were plentiful the first day of the race until the final race, which turned into a dreaded “drifter” but was finished by most boats. On Sunday, the wind was blowing from the south at 15-20 knots, which made for an exciting day, and a number of cuts and bruises on steep, slippery decks.

Several families competed this year on a number of different boats and about 15 of the sailors were under 19 years of age.

This was considered a big success by organizers who are striving to have this friendly competitive event attract youth and families, though the odd pirates are welcome, too.

Creston Valley Advance Thursday, September 17, 2015

Bill Green (Green)

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 17

David Wilks

Don Johnston Wayne Stetski (Liberal)

(Conservative)

(New Democrat)

INCUMBENT

Christina Yahn (Libertarian)

Leading up to the Oct. 19 federal election, the Advance — together with other Black Press newspapers — asked the five member of Parliament candidates in the Kootenay-Columbia federal riding: 3. Should Ottawa be involved in Columbia River Treaty negotiations or should it be left to B.C.?

If the former, what role do you see for the federal government? If the latter, why shouldn’t Ottawa be involved?

4. What solutions do you see to make regional highways (Trans-Canada, Highways 3 and 93/95) safer and more reliable?

BILL GREEN 3. In my work with the Ktunaxa and Secwepemc nations, I have been deeply involved in discussions about renewal of the Columbia River Treaty, focusing on restoring ecosystems and returning salmon to the Upper Columbia and Kootenay River watersheds.

I have spearheaded an initiative to learn how operation of the treaty dams could be improved to benefit ecosystems, fish and wildlife, and local communities. We have proposed establishment of a Columbia Basin international watershed board under the auspices of the International Joint Commission.

There is no question about involvement of the federal government in treaty negotiations. Ottawa has constitutional responsibility for international treaties, for rivers that cross the 49th parallel, and for fish-

eries. The federal government must work very closely with the government of B.C. but also with First Nations and local governments in the Columbia Basin to develop negotiating positions and, ultimately, negotiate effectively with the U.S. government.

4. My focus is on federal funding to improve rail infrastructure, particularly through the critical Rogers Pass transportation bottleneck.

The Green Party proposes to invest $600-$700 million annually in our vital national rail infrastructure.

With long-term investment in better rail infrastructure in our riding, more freight currently being moved by truck on highways 1 and 3 can be moved by rail, relieving heavy truck congestion on those routes and improving road safety for all drivers.

Highway maintenance, especially in winter, is a key safety issue.

REQUEST FOR VOLUNTEER DIRECTORS

Ottawa is responsible for maintenance and repair of the TransCanada Highway inside national parks. There must be federal infrastructure spending to improve safety conditions — including maintenance — of the Trans-Canada between the B.C.Alberta border and Sicamous.

DON JOHNSTON 3. The federal government has to be involved in the negotiations because the treaty is an agreement between the United States and Canada.

Canada transferred the rights and obligations under the CRT to the province under the Canada-BC Agreement, but substantive treaty changes would require federal government involvement.

For constitutional reasons, the federal government also has to be involved in discussion on water use licences, possible salmon restoration and aboriginal rights, but our role would be to work closely with both the province and BC Hydro, the Canadian entity appointed to implement the CRT on behalf of the province. Since Liberal policy to re-engage in an inclusive process with indigenous peoples mirrors provincial goals, the federal partnership would not hinder the treaty process.

My former involvement with Columbia Basin Trust also ensures a priority that decisions would always consider the direct impacts on the people who live in the basin.

4. The Liberal party expects

me to speak up on local rural issues and highways are a central concern in this region.

Infrastructure in Canada is rapidly decaying and a Sunday drive on Highway 93 shows you the full impact of an old road dealing with new realities. These roads were not built with current traffic levels in mind and have become unsafe, economically inefficient and unsustainable in terms of the additional costs to cure certain deficiencies.

Highways managers and engineers will determine priorities and our role will be to provide the tools to ensure consistent investment in these fundamentals.

Celebrate National Forest Week September 20 - 26, 2015

It’s National Forest Week, a time for all Canadians to celebrate our forests.

The Creston Community Forest (CCF) is requesting applications from individuals interested in serving as a Director.

Submissions will be accepted until Monday September 21, 2015.

CCF is responsible for managing over 18,000 hectares of forested land surrounding the Creston Valley. The Board establishes policies and provides staff with guidance regarding development and company expenditures. Meetings are held on the last Thursday of each month.

To obtain an information package and application, please call 250-402-0070.

Our office is located at 121 Northwest Blvd. in the Chamber of Commerce.

Successful applicants will be contacted prior to CCF’s Annual General Meeting held on Thursday September 24, 2015 at 4:00pm at the CCF office.

For more information contact John Chisamore 250-428-2024. www.crestoncommunityforest.com

Plant a tree, tour a local mill or take a walk in the woods – these are just a few ways you can take part in National Forest Week.

For a list of events happening around the province, check out our website: www.bcnfw.ca or find us on Facebook: BC’s National Forest Week

Election FROM PAGE 17

The recently announced Liberal infrastructure plan with increased long-term funding for public transit, social and green infrastructure, means the New Building Canada Fund can prioritize investments in roads and bridges. This allows us to begin a comprehensive process to make repairs and improvements without having to wait for election handouts.

WAYNE STETSKI 3. The Columbia River Treaty has had significant impacts here in the Canadian portion of the Columbia River Basin.

Substantial sacrifices were made by residents during the creation of the dams and reservoirs, and impacts continue as a result of hydro operations.

In 2012, the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments formed a com-

mittee to ensure that all area residents had a say in the future of the treaty. As a member of that committee, I participated in extensive public meetings that resulted in a report that contained recommendations to the provincial and federal governments.

I am proud to have played a role in ensuring that the voices of Kootenay-Columbia residents were heard in the potential renewal of the treaty. The role of the federal government should be to support the collective voices of basin residents and to seek to ensure that the recommendations are implemented.

4. The Trans-Canada Highway upgrade requires coordination between federal and provincial governments, and a divided highway from Sicamous to the Alberta border must be a priority.

As mayor of Cranbrook, I participated in the Highway 3 Mayors’ Coalition on area highways, which have consistently had one of the highest collision rates in the province. Wildlife

awareness systems using new technology should be investigated for all our highways.

We also need to ensure adequate funding and enforcement of contract standards for winter highway maintenance, and we need more enforcement capability for our RCMP conducting year-round highway patrols.

Kootenay residents rely heavily on our highway systems, and ensuring safety and reliability must be a top priority.

DAVID WILKS 3. The Columbia River Treaty (CRT) has no expiry date, but has a minimum length of 60 years, which is met in September 2024. One or both countries wishing to terminate the CRT must give at least 10 years’ notice. September 2014 was the earliest date to announce intent to terminate the CRT. At this time, neither nation has indicated intention to terminate the CRT. The Columbia River Treaty is an important agreement, which has helped both coun-

This coverage can be read without a susbscription at www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca/federalelection. tries effectively manage flood control, downstream irrigation and power generation on the transboundary Columbia River for the past 50 years. The CRT continues to be an example of the strong and co-operative relationship between Canada and the United States. We look forward to working with the United States as it completes its own review process of the CRT. As we look to the future of the treaty, the government of Canada, in close co-operation with B.C., will ensure that Canada and B.C. will continue to benefit from the treaty.

4. Kootenay-Columbia is unique in that the Trans-Canada Highway flows through three national parks (Yoho, Glacier and Mount Revelstoke) and Highway 93 flows through Kootenay National Park.

The federal government has sole responsibility for the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 93 through the parks. Since 2011, I have worked closely with the environment minister to secure over $300 million in funding for projects within the four parks. The majority went to highway upgrades. Current projects include tunnel lighting (east of Rogers Pass), repaving sections of highway, bridge rehabilitation and animal fencing.

With the exception of the TransCanada through the national parks, all highways within B.C. are provincial jurisdiction. Each year, the provincial government sets its priority list for highway projects throughout B.C. It then proceeds with projects based on the budget as set out by the provincial minister. In co-operation with the province, joint funding has resulted in projects such as the Donald Bridge twinning, and overpass and bridge replacements on Highway 3.

rights. Within a few years of the treaty, the Sinixt First Nation was conveniently declared extinct by the government despite the fact it was and still is a thriving culture.

Salmon runs, sacred sites and fertile lands were flooded. Around 5,000 individuals’ private property was violated and flooded, leaving them displaced with a minimal compensation for their homes.

Government should never have the authority to force people out of their homes and off their lands.

Over 100,000 animals’ habitat was destroyed from the flooding.

Economically, the impact was far more negative than estimated.

The revenue from hydroelectric dams did not match the initial costs associated with building the infrastructure, compensation of the people who were displaced or the estimated losses that were never taken into consideration of the fertile lands for agriculture and forestry. As a result, funds were taken from schools, health care and forest services.

That being said, no, I do not think Ottawa should have involvement in Columbia River Treaty negotiations. They will be mainly considering monetary positions and will not be personally affected by any decisions made. I believe that only parties who are directly affected by all aspects of an agreement such as this should have an active role in negotiations.

4. Through creating strong local economies, keeping our tax dollars locally will enable us to afford much needed safety upgrades and infrastructure for the roads we drive.

Going through the bureaucratic filter in Ottawa for funding is an exhausting and lengthy process; meanwhile, the roads remain in need of repairs while the requests for funding continue to be bogged down in the political mire. Provinces and municipalities have a greater understanding of the particular needs in their area than anyone across the country in Ottawa.

Obituaries

Eileen Merna Asher 1925-2015 Eileen passed away September 9, 2015, following a short unexpected illness.

Eileen was born in the one-grainery town of Fenn, Alberta. She grew up in Calgary and subsequently moved to Vancouver at the start of the war, where she worked for Boeing Aircraft. It was at Boeing, while working on the Canadianbuilt PBY Anti-submarine Bomber, that she met Collin Asher. In the late forties, Eileen and Collin chose the Creston Valley to marry and raise a family.

Eileen always had a respected work ethic. She was employed for a time in administration for the Town of Creston, then for awhile she managed the Paradise Motel (for those old enough to remember). During the summers for a number of years she managed a fruit farm. For almost 16 years she assisted Alex Ewashin at Jual Auction, entertaining the crowds with her antics, enticing bidders to bid -up the displayed items. Eileen finally retired after working more than 17 years at the Creston Valley Advance.

Following Collin's death, Eileen met dancing enthusiast Folke Agren and they spent many active years clogging around the valley and wintering in California until his passing.

Eileen remained inspiringly active in this community throughout her life. She belonged to too many local organizations to mention here. She was an avid quilter and adept at all manner of crafts. She loved home canning for family and friends and left us enough preserves to last for years.

Eileen, to the end, remained a very active dancer with the cloggers, square dancers, line-dancers and ballroom dance groups and enthusiast throughout the valley. Eileen kept active right up to the time of her illness practicing Tai Chi and aqua-fit.

Above all, Eileen was absolutely dedicated to the welfare of her family and friends. At 90 years of age she had just renewed her driver's licence and she continued to drive all who asked, to local appointments, card tournaments and a myriad of other functions and activities throughout the valley. Virtually all who knew Eileen loved her dearly.

Eileen is survived by her children Nordin, Bryon and LeeLane, as well as her grandchildren Cael, Loren, Nina and Allen, and one great-grandson Felix.

She will be sorely missed by all.

Ronald Kenneth Nearing May 16 1929 ~ September 5, 2015 Ronald Kenneth Nearing passed away peacefully, on September 5, 2015, at the Creston Valley Hospital with family at his side.

Ron met Ila (Kifer) of Canyon B.C. and they married January 18, 1951. They had three children, six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Ron first worked for J.H. Huscroft and in 1952 purchased his first tire store - a business he grew to include multiple locations and in which he still participated in until his passing.

Ron was a mentor to many, giving his time and knowledge at will. He was a member of the Rotary Club, Car Club, Elks Club, Jaycees, the School Board, and participated on the Creston Valley Wildlife Centre Board. He was instrumental in the building of the Elk's Pavilion in Millennium Park.

Ron especially enjoyed spending time at the lake property in Kuskanook with his wife Ila, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Ron enjoyed fishing, gardening, woodworking, and especially his 1953 and 1955 Packard automobiles, in which they took many adventures, including driving the 1955 Packard home from Indiana. Ron and Ila also travelled North America from coast to coast and south to north by car, RV, air, and just last year the Rocky Mountaineer Train to Banff, Jasper, and Vancouver.

Ron was predeceased by his mother Dorothy Nearing, father Kenneth Nearing, and brother-in-law Harry Sommerfeld.

Ron is survived by his wife Ila (Kifer) of 64 years; his children Linda Moore (Richard) and their children Trish Kleinsasser (Travis), Tyler and Rylan, Cory Moore (Laina), Dalton Nearing and Henry, Melissa Moore (Everleigh), Katie Moore and fiancé Peter Hepburn, Carolyn Haseloh (Ron); Children Kristina Watson (Jordan), Brooklyn, Michelle Haseloh (Christopher), Wade Nearing (Terry); his sister Elaine Sommerfeld; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins, many close friends and associates.

Thanks to the Nelson Emergency Room Services, the Creston Valley Hospital and its wonderful staff, and a special thanks to Dr. Griffioen.

A funeral service was held on Saturday, September 12, 2015 at 11am at the Redeemer Lutheran Church, Creston, with Pastor Doug Stapleton celebrant.
