Councillor put through the paces at Fire Ops in Vancouver for The Advertiser City Councillor Ron Popoff got a taste of the difficult and dangeroustasks that firefighters across the country face each and every day.

Councillor Popoff took part in the BC Professional Firefighters 2015 Fire Ops 101 program in Vancouver Monday, while at the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) conference.

Cranbrook Firefighters Local 1253 members Clay Murrell and Gregory Green also partici-

pated in the fire ops program alongside Councillor Popoff.

The goal of the half day program is to educate Mayors, Councillors and the media about what firefighters can be involved in each day. Participants ran through eight different fire related tasks including: a burning car fire attack, rescuing a patient in a smoke-filled tower, crawling through a firefighter survival course and using the Jaws of Life in an auto extrication exercise.

Election voters must go to the polling location that has been assigned to them.

Starting today, millions of personalized Voter Information Cards (VIC) are being sent to registered voters’ homes in Cranbrook and the Kootenay Region.

Even more will be sent

over the next ten days.

VIC’s contain that very important personalized polling location information. VIC’s identify each voter’s poll number and location for Election Day – Oct 19 and the one for Advanced Polling Days (Thanksgiving Long weekend Oct 9 –

Oct 12 – open each of the 4 days from noon to 8 pm).

When voters receive their VIC, it’s a good idea to check their information. Voters who haven’t received their VIC by October 1st or whose card shows the wrong address can register or update their address

online.

Or, they can drop by a local Elections Canada office.

To locate your local Elections Canada office you can also use the Voter Information Service tool on the Elections Canada home page at www.elections.ca Voters can vote today and any time

up until Oct 13 by 6 pm local time at an Elections Canada office using a Special Ballot.

Elections Canada offices are open 7 days a week and are there to help voters. Voters can call their local Elections Canada office as well or call the toll-free national line 1-800-

Jeremy Fisher brings his musical style to the Stage Door

Photo submitted

Juno nominated musician Jeremy Fisher will be at the Stage Door on September 28.

by Brian Coombs Jeremy Fisher is no stranger to hard work.

The Hamilton, Ontario, musician came out with his debut album, Back Porch Spirituals back in 2001 and since that time has put out another six albums. He has also toured with

such notable musicians as Xavier Rudd, The Proclaimers and Great Big Sea. During his career, he has been nominated for three Juno awards.

This coming Monday, September 28, at the Stage Door in Cranbrook, Fisher will be performing from his library of

past work and his latest album, The Lemon Squeeze, including the single Uh-Oh, that featured Serena Ryder on the album.

“Working with Serena Ryder is one of those funny stories,” said Fisher. “We never spent a moment in a room together for that. I reached out to her with a track and asked if she wanted to sing on it. I emailed it to her, she emailed back her track and we mixed it in. Stuff like that is just so easy now because everything is on computer anyway.”

And Fisher has a wide catalogue of musicians to collaborate with, partly because he has spent his entire life with a guitar.

“I’ve always done it. I started teaching

guitar in high school and I wrote songs for a theatre company after high school,” explained Fisher. “I never did anything else or entertained doing anything else. I played guitar every weekend with my buddies. It was my entertainment, my social circle, it was my everything.”

And this interest gave him a keen ear for quality. It was in Wisconsin, when he was volunteering playing music at a nursing home, when he was introduced to a musician he would most like to emulate.

“One caregiver gave me a John Prine songbook. When I discovered what he could do with a very simple couplet, that was poignant and funny at the same

album. Well, I woke up yesterday and thought it would be interesting to take Ryan Adams’ ‘Come Pick Me Up’ song and do it like ‘Style’ from Taylor Swift’s 1989.”

That may have been a tongue-in-cheek comment, but should Fisher be serious,

it will definitely be a memorable and more than likely beautiful piece of artistry.

The Weekday View

Letter: The bum’s rush for Canal Flats Being a former employee (retired) of Crestbrook Forest Ind. Ltd., turned Tembec Forest Products, and later Canfor, it is a huge shock to see the closing of the Canal Flats Sawmill / Planer mill.

Through all the years and all the problems CFI and Tembec faced, they always managed to keep operating. In all those years both former companies spent millions of dollars to upgrade and modernize both the planner and sawmills, to make sure they were always viable.

Some years yes, it was tough but they always managed to fight off that “final blow”.

For me there were ‘issues’ I wondered about when Tembec

took over, but that was their ultimate decision and they had to live with it. When they announced they had sold the mill, they were again having problems and everyone thought Canfor was the big rescue and were going to save the day. (same thoughts when Tembec took over) Myself, already retired, I didn’t really worry about it but something just didn’t sit right with me.

Canfor also owns the Radium sawmill, and they had been shut down “indefinitely” for a very long time.

Canfor readily admitted it was because of taking over from Tembec that they would be able to restart the Radium mill.

With the forestry

laws changed, allowing companies the freedom to NOT be operating in an area they get their timber supply from (thank you BC Govt) Canfor was now in a position to get the former Tembec timber supplies to open the Radium mill, which is just what they did.

Then the sudden cutbacks in the Flats, yet Radium kept running.

After all, Canfor has no real ties with Canal Flats, not like they do in Radium. Then just a few short months latter, the same song of poor timber supplies, low prices for the lumber, the economic downturn, no more so I think than in the past, and BANG, the Flats is out and gone.

One thing Tembec had always told us was that if and when it came to “push and shove”, even though Canal Flats was farther from the US border, where our lumber

went to, Elko even though closer to the border, Elko would shut down first. That gave a pretty good indication of how modern and efficient the Canal mill was.

From where the timber is coming from, it is a whole lot further from the bush to the Radium mill as it is to the Canal mill. The Canal Flats mill, from everything we had ever been told, was much more modern than almost every mill around, so why all of a sudden is it cheaper to truck to Radium, driving past the Flats?

Now, maybe there is something that hasn’t been spelled out here but to me, Canal Flats has been given the “old bums rush”.

Once again, just a little bit more of our valleys history gone and to be soon forgotten. ~Tom Haverko Cranbrook BC

stay in their homes, find appropriate new housing or connect with available support in recognition of National Seniors’ Day on October 1.

“There are several good resources available which provide more information for busy baby boomers who might be downsizing or moving into a strata property for the first time; and also for more mature seniors on a fixed income who may be looking for financial assistance or supported housing,” said Tammy Morin Nakashima, a Richmond Notary and President of BC Notaries.

Eight Housing Tips for BC Seniors: 1. Know the strata laws before you buy: Many active aging boomers are downsizing to free-up funds for retirement or travel, or to make life simpler after their children leave home. If you’re considering a strata property, make sure you read and understand the strata minutes and bylaws, particularly on the topics of noise, pets, smoking and parking, which are the most frequent points of concern in most strata communities. People who’ve owned freehold properties for most of their lives may not be accustomed to some of the expectations of strata living so it’s important to make sure you’re comfortable with the rules that will apply to both you and your neighbours before you make a purchase.

2. Consider deferring your property taxes: If you’re over 55, you might qualify to defer all or part of your current year’s property taxes. You’ll be charged interest and the Province will hold a lien on

FREE

your property, but this might be a viable option if your home has increased substantially in value, as the deferred costs would be settled as part of your estate – or paid back if you sell your home.

3. Take advantage of homeowner grants for seniors: If you’re over 65 and your property is your principal residence, you may also be eligible for a homeowner grant of up to $845 ($1045 in northern and rural areas) against your property taxes.

4. Learn more about funding to adapt your home for safety: Adapting your home in small ways can help you stay in your home longer and more safely. There are a number of programs available that might help fund these improvements including Home Adaptations for Independence and the BC Seniors’ Home Renovation Tax Credit.

5. Funding available for renters over 60: BC residents over 60 with low to moderate incomes who rent their homes may be eligible for the Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER) program, which provides monthly cash payment to subsidize rent, including homes in the private rental market.

6. More information for those needing home support: If you or your parent are looking for supportive housing—typically modified rental homes for low-income seniors and people with disabilities—or assisted living housing facilities that offer a range of care services, BC Housing can provide more information.

National Senior’s Day 7. Consider home swapping to save on property transfer tax: Another little-known tip is a provision in the Property Transfer Tax Act that eliminates the requirement for this tax when a principal residence is transferred between related individuals, including a parent and child. This means parents and children could “swap” homes, or a child could move into and purchase a parent’s home without paying property transfer tax if the parent moves on to supported housing without paying property transfer tax, if they meet specific guidelines.

8. Keep your planning documents upto-date: It’s important to remember that whenever your housing situtation changes, it may affect your overall estate planning needs. It’s important to ensure your Will, Power of Attorney and other important documents are up to date. This is particularly important if yours is a blended family as the type of ownership of the home impacts your estate plan.

These tips can add up to substantial savings and peace of mind for baby boomers, seniors and their families.

BC Notaries provide legal services for more than half of all real estate transactions in B.C. They understand the unique needs of downsizing boomers, seniors transitioning to supportive housing, estate sales and clients who want to refinance their mortgage to free-up funds for other priorities.

10 fashion tips for 6. Avoid plunging necklines as well. If you have a small bust, round necklines are your best option, while women with baby boomers a fuller bust should opt for V-necks.

7. Rely on well-cut, quality fabrics and neutral colours for basic clothing items. Be more daring with colour for seasonal clothing. Don’t blow your budget on these more transient wardrobe items.

Should you stop following fashion trends after the age of 50? Absolutely not!

You can still adopt an up-to-date look inspired by the latest trends without dressing exactly the same as young people. Here are 10 tips for success.

1. Opt for narrow rather than skinny pants, which are more suited to the younger crowd.

2. Go for knee-length skirts instead of very short ones.

3. Choose your clothing size with care.

You can ruin your look with clothes that are too big or too tight.

4. Always have a classic black dress in your wardrobe. It’s a multipurpose and timeless clothing item that’s perfect for women over 50.

5. Don’t give up wearing jeans. Just remember that jeans in dark, solid colours look better than worn or

8. Avoid large patterns on dresses as well as empire waistlines. Dresses can be worn shorter than skirts because their length isn’t as eye-catching.

9. Complete your look with fashionable accessories, but don’t go overboard.

10. Above all, your choice of clothes shouldn’t be based on what you want to hide, but rather on what you want to highlight.

Literacy campaign launches in the Kootenays! Setting financial goals Community leaders and volunteers will join Black Press, Kootenay Savings Credit Union and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy from Oct. 7-9 to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and to celebrate the power literacy has in the Kootenays.

The 5th Annual Reach a Reader campaign will raise funds for our region’s community-based literacy programs.

You may be wondering, why literacy?

The answer is simple, literacy is important. It is a common thread woven through resilient and thriving communities. It has a direct impact on issues such as crime rates, poverty, health, economic prosperity and workplace safety. Local literacy programs provide support to help the 40% of British Columbians who struggle with reading, writing, numeracy, digital literacy and language skills. Programs are offered across the ages from early literacy

programs to help families promote emergent skills, to adults who wish to upgrade workplace skills, to seniors who want to learn how to use a computer or tablet. The needs are growing and now you can help.

In the Kootenays, funds will help support family and adult literacy programs.

Literacy programs help people to gain the skills needed to be successful in their life, work and community.

“As a field we are proud of the work we do, not just because it feels good, but because the work has a meaningful and long reaching impact on the individuals who participate in literacy programs and that in turns benefits the community, the region and beyond”, says Desneiges Profili, Regional Program Manager.

You can support the Reach a Reader campaign by making a donation in exchange for a special edition of the Kootenay Advertiser. Volunteers will be hitting the
