Creston Fire Rescue’s Eric Graham said the vehicle was “fully involved” when crews arrived on the scene. “Our priority was the fire’s exposure to the house and carport,” he said. “Very lttle damage was done to anything but the motorhome.” Firefighters from Wynndel and Canyon-Lister also responded, with some staging at the Creston firehall in case they were needed on Ash Street or elsewhere.

To allow necessary repairs to be completed, the skateboard park at the Creston and District Community Complex was closed last week.

The closure was announced Oct. 6 by the Regional District of Central Kootenay, and is likely to last until spring 2016.

“The RDCK’s responsibility is to provide services to our residents, but more importantly, we need to ensure that the facilities for which we’re responsible are safe,” said Larry Binks, Area C director and chair of the Creston Valley Services Committee.

An overall skate park assessment performed

by Spectrum Skateparks identified immediate concerns that were deemed to pose some risk to users. Some issues, such as concrete deterioration on the 15-year old structure, can be addressed with short-term repairs.

“A decision on the overall future of the existing skate park is likely to be made in the upcoming months,” said an RDCK press release.

Reach A Reader raises over $570 Advance Staff

Donations totalled nearly $575 in this year’s Reach A Reader campaign, a joint effort between Black Press and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) to raise funds for local literacy programs.

The $573.10 raised this year will help CBAL to fully fund a program that helps babies and young children develop language and listening skills.

“It’s going to allow us to have a full three sessions of Baby Goose,” said Joan Hedstrom, CBAL’s Creston community literacy co-ordinator.

“That was our primary concern.”

Volunteers spent four hours, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Oct. 8, at the Canyon Street Walkthrough and at Overwaitea Foods giving out last week’s issue of the Advance in

exchange for a donation to the Creston branch of the literacy organization.

Hedstrom spent the entire time at the Overwaitea table, which allowed her to connect directly with the community, a big benefit to the program.

“It was a really good experience for me because I got more of the tutors I need, and people are more familiar with the program now,” she said.

This was the fifth annual Reach A Reader, which has raised $4,069 for CBAL programs since its inception in 2011.

“We’re happy to see that this partnership continues to be a success,” said Advance editor Brian Lawrence.

“It’s certainly a testament to the generosity of everyone in the Creston Valley, from donors to volunteers.”

Operation Christmas Child boxes ready for packing

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor With Thanksgiving now over and Christmas just around the corner, it’s the time of year to help those less fortunate — and the Operation Christmas Child “shoeboxes” are a good place to start.

Every year, Grace Christian Fellowship collects boxes for the Samaritan’s Purse initiative, which distributes school supplies, hygiene items and toys around the world. Just over 200 were shipped from Creston last year, and the program continues to be popular.

“A couple of people are already asking,” said Pastor Stephen Schneider, who orga-

nizes the program with his wife, Carmen.

“Some people will pack 10 or 15 boxes,” said Carmen.

The 205 shipped from Creston were among 700,000 sent from Canada last year.

Shoeboxes for about 11 million children in 13 countries are expected this year, from the U.S.A., Australia, Finland, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, Spain and the U.K. Western Canada’s boxes will go to Haiti, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Equatorial Guinea, Nepal and Ukraine.

Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has sent more than 124 million gift shoeboxes to children in more than 150 countries and territories, partnering with

their local churches for distribution.

In Creston, boxes are available at Your Dollar Store with More, Extra Foods and churches. Following the instructions provided, they can be filled and returned to Grace Christian Fellowship (2416 Cedar St.) until Nov. 19, or dropped off at Pop Shoes the week of Nov. 12-19.

Adults aren’t the only ones packing the boxes — young people are getting in on it too, with Adam Robertson Elementary School and Prince Charles Secondary School sending home boxes.

“It’s important for people to pack Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes because they’re showing love to other countries,” said Carmen.

SPORTS

Thunder Cats lose one, win one

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff Creston Valley Thunder Cats have a one-point hold on second place in the Eddie Mountain Division after splitting a pair of games on the weekend.

Now sitting with a healthy 7-2 record, Creston leads the Fernie Ghostriders by a point, but is 6 points back of the red hot Kimberley Dynamiters, who have three games in hand.

The Thunder Cats got a taste of just how hot the Dynamiters are when they were shut out 4-0 in Kimberley on Friday night. Kimberley took a 1-0 lead into the second period, when they added a second goal. Two more goals in the third period put the game away for the division leaders, who are now 9-1.

Cats’ goaltender Brock Lefebvre stopped 27 of the 31 shots he faced and Carson Cartwright was named the team’s star of the game.

Back in the friendly confines of John Bucyk Arena on Saturday night, the Thunder Cats were in no mood to take another loss. They took out their frustrations on Neil Murdoch Division cellar dwelling Spokane Braves and walked away with a 10-1 win.

Jake Livingstone put the Cats on the scoreboard midway through the first period, and Lien Miller-Jeannotte started out on his hat-trick before Kurtis Redding put the Braves close with 35 seconds left. But Alec Wilkinson’s goal with only 4 ticks left on the score clock gave Creston a 3-1 cushion.

Smelling blood, the Thunder Cats stormed out in the middle frame, adding 6 goals to their lead. Miller-Jeannotte scored again a minute into the period and then Liam Plunkett put up a short-handed goal to put Creston ahead 5-1.

With less than five minutes to go in the period, Creston poured in another four markers. Jack Berger, Austin Dean, Cartwright (on the power play) and Logum Wullum all scored.

Miller-Jeannotte put up the only goal of third period, completing his hat trick and earning him first star honours. Lefebvre stopped all but one of the 26 shots he faced.

Wilkinson earned 4 assists in the game and his 5-point night pushed his season total to 21, good for a second place tie in the scoring race.

Leading the pack with 24 points is Cole Keebler of the Ghostriders. Rainer Glimpel of the Osoyoos Coyotes and Kimberley’s Jason Richter are tied witih Wilkinson with 21 points each.

Elsewhere in the KIJHL, Kamloops Storm are off to an even hotter start than Kimberley, having jumped out to a 10-1 record to assume first place in the Okanagan/Shuswap Conference. Chase Heat are second in the western conference. In the Kootenay Conference Neil Murdoch Division, Beaver Valley and Castlegar lead the way with identical 8-2 records.

The Thunder Cats have a busy stretch coming up as they visit Fernie on Friday night before returning home to host a return match with the Ghostriders on Saturday night and then Columbia Valley, which is currently winless, on Tuesday night.

STUFFED! — At the end of September, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats hosted the eighth annual Stuff the Bus food drive, which raised $1,300 and a busload of food for the Creston Valley Gleaners Society food bank.

All of the Junior B hockey team’s members volunteered, collecting food and cash donations at Extra Foods and Overwaitea Foods, which (from left) Alec Wilkinson, McConnell Kimmett, Carson Cartwright and Jackson Bruce-Fuoco delivered to food bank co-ordinator Yvonne Harland and president Elaine Keeling.

“We’re very appreciative of the community’s support,” said head coach Jeff Dubois. “It’s a good experience for our guys, getting to help out and be part of helping provide meals for folks who need it.”

A voting dilemma

Where do conservative-leaning voters park their votes when they are dissatisfied with the Harper government, I have been wondering lately.

It’s what used to be referred to as a Hobson’s Choice, I suppose, holding their nose and voting for Harper’s team, casting a ballot for an opposing party or simply not voting.

The subject piques my interest because the current Conservative Party, the result of a successful Reform Party scheme to co-opt the Progressive Conservatives, has strayed vast distances from past PC policies under leaders like John Diefenbaker, Robert Stanfield, Joe Clark and Brian Mulroney.

Harper’s recent fueling of racist fires by making the niqab issue in this campaign is lowest common denominator politics at its worst.

Forget what the polls say—the woman in question, when interviewed on CBC Radio, explained that she removes her face covering whenever asked to for security reasons. But there is no security issue posed by covering a face during a public ceremony—new citizens have already been vetted and had their identities confirmed and the ceremony is a show and nothing more.

During her interview she sounded far more prime ministerial than the man currently holding the title.

And it’s hard to imagine any of Harper’s Progressive Conservative predecessors being so blatantly fearmongering that they would speak of introducing a “barbaric practices” hotline. Shameful, pure and simple.

For those determined to give Harper four more years in power, I wonder what exactly they base their support on. It surely can’t be on an economic record that saw the Conservatives fail to balance the books for seven straight years until this very convenient election year balanced budget. Even that is largely a sham because budgeted expenditures for areas like military veter-

ans and First Nations housing simply haven’t been made. It’s a cheap and tired political scam—make an announcement, get the photo op and story out and then simply not bother to follow through on the promise.

Internationally, Canada has become an embarrassment for it’s

Lorne Eckersley complete disinterest in reducing our contribution to climate change.

Instead of doing what we should be— pushing for a global Manhattan Project-like focus on reducing our reliance on hydrocarbons for energy— Harper and inner circle have preferred to stick their heads in the sand.

How else to continue to pander to and prop up the oil and gas industry?

In the last decade Canada has largely abandoned science for public good in favour of science that is more commonly known as research and development. Why taxpayers should be paying billions for work that should rightfully be footed by the private sector is beyond me. It’s not like they are short of cash, sitting on trillions simply because they aren’t convinced there are good investment opportunities in Canada. Thank international trade deals of the past (and blame the Liberals for doing their share), which have sold out the manufacturing sector, among others, in favour of cheaper goods and higher corporate profits. And, speaking of trade deals, the negotiations in the Trans Pacific Partnership, lead to more undermining of our sovereignty. What self-respecting government would sign any agreement that

allows corporations to sue it (or its junior partners) when they don’t get their way? I think historians will look back at the post-NAFTA era and wonder why the signatories weren’t charged with treason instead of making the ridiculous boast that the agreements benefit the ordinary citizen. In truth, they take another step in making governments (and therefore countries) into branch offices for big business. It’s anti-democratic, but take a look at how voting is handled in this election and it’s easy to think that just maybe we aren’t as far away from banana republic status as we would like to think.

Lost in the discussion about the TPP is the irresponsibility of countries willfully increasing their reliance on trade, which increases our carbon footprint immeasurably and makes us more susceptible to the problems of other countries (“Canada? This is California calling.

I used to be a Progressive Conservative, but there is nothing whatever progressive about the Harper government and its obsession with controlling messages and sneering in disdain at anything that can’t be labeled a tax cut. In one decade we have fallen in the eyes of the world, which used to look at us as a country smart enough to keep out of politically and economically driven wars, and as a place of reason in international matters. And I am tired of being considered to be nothing more than a cog in the economic engine.

I think a lot of conservative leaning voters might be surprised if they took a serious look at the Green Party if they can’t stomach the Liberals or NDP. It’s probably more in line with their values than they realize.

Forum review by pre-teen brothers To the Editor: On Oct. 1 we went to see the guys who are running for representative: Don Johnston was for the Liberal Party, Wayne Stetski was for the NDP (New Democratic Party), Bill Green was for the Green Party and David Wilks was for the Conservative Party.

I think the one better at speaking was Wayne Stetski. The one with better ideas was Bill Green. The one that was the bubbliest was Don Johnston, and David Wilks was very serious and very nervous (he even chewed on his fingernails halfway through the presentation).

And when everyone went on stage, they all shook hands and said luck to each other, and David Wilks didn’t shake hands or didn’t say good luck. I have a feeling that he expects to win because he spent a lot of money on trying to win. He had posters everywhere and they’re huge, and even has ads on YouTube saying vote for me (he also won the last three years).

If I had the right to vote I would vote in this order: 1. Wayne Stetski, 2. Bill Green, 3. Don Johnson, 4. David Wilks.

Why I vote for David last is because he always talks about what he did in the past, and I want to know about his ideas for the now and possibly the future.

That’s why I’m voting for Wayne Stetski.

Thomas Ralston-Calderon Age 11, Creston To the Editor: On Oct. 1 we went to a meeting of the candidates to see who to vote for.

We will go in little parts for this.

David Wilks: I think that he expected to be the winner. He was eating his fingernails and he did not shake hands with the other presenters, and I think he lost a lot of his money in putting out advertisements.

Wayne Stetski: I liked him most of all. He shook hands and he said good things that he would do and he was a good man. I vote for him. I want him to be our representative.

This is about a man named Don Johnston. I liked him so-so. You could say he shook hands but I did not like what he said, so that looks like it’s the end.

Allan Ralston-Calderon Age 8, Creston

Strategic voting is the way to go To the Editor: Voting strategically is definitely not my first choice, but for this election I will make an exception. In this election, voters in our riding can re-elect a government that promotes racism to get votes, that gags and fires scientists whose findings contradict a resource extraction approach to the economy, that shows contempt for democracy by silencing debate in Parliament, that has cheated in previous elections and that has fired employees who oppose an unsafe nuclear reactor. And this is the short list. It doesn’t include sabotaging efforts to deal with climate change, refusing to sign a United Nations declaration that designates clean water as a human right, shutting down women’s

OPINION LINE

and minority advocacy groups and promoting an economic action plan which benefits only the super rich. Or, we can vote strategically and take another riding from the Harper government.

The other day in the Overwaitea parking lot, I talked to a woman who operates from a hardened partisan position and who was determined to vote as she has always done. She said she votes for the guy in Ottawa, and she didn’t mean Stephen Harper. In the past, this approach might not have been an essentially harmful choice, but in this election, it is. In this riding we have a chance to take a seat away from the Harper government by voting NDP. It is our only chance to do that. The NDP and the Conservatives are running neck and neck.

So, I say to anyone who has not drunk the Conservative Kool-Aid, if you don’t vote NDP in this riding, you are voting for Harper. Is that what you want? If not, drop all partisan and leadership preferences and make a vote that has the possibility of bringing democracy back to Canada. Vote NDP. That’s what I’m doing. I am voting strategically for a local candidate who is not my first choice, and for a party leader who is not my first choice. If the Harper government falls, I look forward to voting my heart in future elections.

laws already on the books and our dedicated police forces. We have been asked to surrender our privacy and civil rights — slavery in exchange for freedom from a vague threat. Perspective: The greatest terror attack on Canadians happened at Lac-Mégantic due to the sort of deregulation this government promotes.

Ignorance is strength. Whether it is environmental science or issues like census data, safe injection sites and criminal justice, the Harper government invariably takes a partisan, ideological, “we know better than all those people who tried these things before” approach.

There are too many examples to list; I suggest you read “Vanishing Canada: Why We’re all Losers in Ottawa’s War on Data” on the Maclean’s website.

Another aspect of Big Brother’s regime was Newspeak, which is frequently used in government of Canada propaganda ads, which have cost us close to $1 billion in the last nine years. Two wonderful examples of many are the Veteran’s Charter, which ended long-term pensions to wounded vets, and the Fair Elections Act, designed to make it more difficult for people to vote. Another example is the fake “balanced budget”, which was contrived by selling assets (Chevrolet, for one), cutting important services (Health Canada, for one) and delaying important spending, especially on the military. If elected, he will add to his previous string of deficits, a really big one.

Vote for change.

Harper gov’t reminiscent Opponents of 1984 make Harper look good

To the Editor: There are scores of reasons to vote Stephen Harper out of office. The most compelling reason is that this is as close to a dictatorship as Canada has had since Duplessis. When first elected, he promised we would not recognize Canada when he was finished; he plans to make his changes permanent. The Orwelliannamed “Harper Government’s” changes have included an unprecedented level of secrecy and control by the Prime Minister’s Office, the muzzling of our civil servants and scientists, attacks on our independent judiciary and the undermining of our privacy. His re-election will likely mean perpetual foreign wars with blow-back attacks on our soil, the slow financial strangling of our health system, the loss of Canadian jobs and sovereignty to secret trade deals, the incarceration of Canadians acting to protect their land, water and air. We cannot allow these changes to become permanent. Mr. Harper has inspired me to reread George Orwell’s 1984, which now seems to be arriving. Big Brother had three main slogans: War is peace. Harper would have us believe that dropping bombs in the Middle East will make us safer at home.

The recent terrible attacks on our soil happened on his watch, perhaps inspired by his aggressive policies. He bombed Libya into chaos and did not stick around to help put that society back together. He has said that Canada will go through “fire and water” for Israel. Are you interested in going through that fire for the extremist Netanyahu government with which the people of Israel are saddled? We were once the pre-eminent moral super power in the world; now we just bomb along with the big boys.

Chauvinism is “boastful, war-like patriotism”; that is all he offers us.

Freedom is slavery. Rather than provide a reassuring perspective on terrorist threats, Mr. Harper has worked hard to make Canadians timid and fearful, to believe that we cannot be protected by

To the Editor: Some of the statements of Justin Trudeau show his immaturity. He says under Prime Minister Stephen Harper we had the worst economy since the Second World War. So in reality, he is saying that the 14-15 per cent interest on mortgages is better that Harper’s twothree per cent. This high interest was under his dad, Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

Just think: The same interest would in Vancouver cost the homeowners $30,000 to $60,000 more in interest each year. In Creston, $120,000-$240,000 mortgage would mean $14,400-$28,800 more in mortgage interest payments each year.

Was that really better?

Justin’s comment in the Mike Duffy trial was urging Harper to “come clean.”

He is saying that Harper is dirty, and also saying that Harper has to start telling the truth, which is accusing Harper of lying. This is really dirty political gain.

Tom Mulcair is not any better. He stated wrongly that Harper was lying.

He got confused when an email to Harper was not seen before the day after it was sent. In Tom’s mind, Harper was lying about the day.

Tom offered more of our taxpayers’ money to CBC Radio and television. So we, the taxpayers, pay for CBC pushing the NDP in this election. This should not be allowed and is using our money for political gain.

This election will be interesting, as we will find out approximately how many more Christians are in Canada. I am referring to and about the Liberal and NDP decision that all their candidates must be in favour of abortion. A genuine, real Christian does not vote for anyone who supports or provides abortion. That is what the Bible calls “shedding of innocent blood.”

Canada is in need of hope and love

Letters from page 7

I believe those who do not care for an innocent in-thewomb baby do not really care for use out-of-the-womb sinners.

Tom Mulcair and Justin Trudeau make Harper look good. They do not have the class to act and behave as a prime minister. If they had any greatness, they would apologize to Harper. Just take one of the debates where Justin kept on interrupting the other speakers.

Or what Tom said about the negotiation of the Trans-Pacific partnership — that he would tear up anything Harper has signed. Sorry, Tom; understand that you read it first and then you make decisions.

If we get a Liberal-NDP government, be prepared that in less that two years we will look back to the good old days with Harper. All the letters complaining about Harper never use any facts but political hearsay. There was no coverup in Duffy’s scandal by Harper. There is no extreme loss of privacy any more than we need against terrorists and against sexual predators, who lure 13-15-year-old girls into motels. Crimes have gone high-tech so our laws have to assist the police in counteracting crime.

John Jorgensen Creston

To the Editor: I have been a teacher for a few years now and return to my classroom day after day for two reasons: hope and love. I look at my students and see a reflection of the same passion, idealism and optimism that is too often cast aside by their grown-up counterparts. As we grow, our passion turns to idleness, idealism devolves to realism and optimism gives way to despair.

Canada has, for too long, been driven by these motives.

We feel as though our voices don’t matter and hence we fail to vote — idleness. We succumb to want and desire and accept our consumer reality as the only one — realism. We fear the unknown, distrust our neighbours and abandon compassion — despair. And yet an entire unrepresented and unheard demographic could easily point us in the right direction.

Fairness is very important on the playground. If you try a first-past-the-post vote on

Opinion Line whether to play dodgeball, basketball or kickball, the unrepresented majority get really pissed off! Why then are we all too accepting of a party that represents less than 25 per cent of the Canadian population? Have we become so complacent that we regard this as democracy?

Children are also wonderfully compassionate and generous. When they witness an injustice they are not afraid to speak out. They are eager to help and to share. They are quick to understand that a compassionate and loving classroom is better than one dominated by greed and mistrust. Why then do adults accept year after year of political inaction on social injustice?

Why can’t our federal government put aside partisan division and actually collaborate on solving Canadian issues as easily as my students can solve problems in the classroom?

My sixth and seventh graders will soon be hitting the voting booth with the rest of Canada’s eligible voters. I hope that we adults can put aside self-interest, fear and division for a few moments on Oct. 19, electing a government that will give my students a fair, sustainable and beautiful future — one driven by passion, idealism and optimism, reimagining a Canada founded on hope and on love.

Moving Along Together Series 2 • Week 4 The Value of Paying Attention

This is the fourth of eight 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. See our contact information above for further information about the program.

“Pay attention, don’t let life go by you. Fall in love with the back of your cereal box.” Jerry Seinfeld: brainyquotes. com With the increase in aging populations, interest in how to maintain health as we age in body, mind and spirit is resulting in ongoing research that reveals new understandings (brain plasticity) and the development of and funding for programs across sectors tackling the complexity of what it means to provide for ‘healthy’ communities.

“One of the chief points established by current research is that memory does not operate according to the models that have often been used to characterize its workings.

It is not like a computer that stores and retrieves data, nor is it like a video camera that plays back tapes of recorded scenes from the past. Contemporary researchers also would reject Thomas De Quincey’s wellknown metaphor of the brain as a palimpsest, in which memories accumulate in successive layers over time but remain permanently engraved and accessible under appropriate conditions. In fact, there is no such thing as an immutable, comprehensive, or objective memory.

To begin with, we do not remember everything we experience. Instead, we remember only what we encode of any given scene or event. To ensure vivid memories, we must first of all pay attention to what is going on around us and encode specific details and nuances of our daily lives. As Schacter says: “If we operate on automatic pilot much of the time ... we may pay a price by retaining only sketchy memories of where we have been and what we have done.” Research has shown that depressed people tend to have overly general memories, in part because they are not very attentive to their surroundings…” (Wordsworth and Current Memory Research Beth Lau, Volume 42, Number 4, Autumn 2002).

While memories have been found to be encoded for easier retrieval by their emotional value as well as their relevance to us, brain research is also showing that focused attention turns out to be an extremely important part of maintaining functional memory. When you were younger you probably could pay partial attention to something and later recall it. This is called passive attention. With age you may no longer rely on this passive attention to form memories. Yet we are being encouraged by anecdotal and research findings that we can maintain or improve our ability to remember through engaging consciously in activities that stimulate us to pay attention. This can be in the context of your daily activities or additional strategies for new habits or practices.

SOMETHING TO TRY Look around the room you’re in and give it your full attention, as you scan, look for things you have never noticed before. LIST SOME. What techniques did you use to pay attention? During this next week use this full attention exercise by taking a few minutes several times a day and giving your full attention to your surroundings, make notes of what you notice. Perhaps invite a friend to do it too, and share your experiences. Be kind to yourself also noticing how you might drift in and out of ‘paying attention”.

It turns out that your mother might have had it right all along when she told you to “pay attention”. A payment requires giving something of yourself. Your effort will be the payment for attention.

Too risky for Canada

To the Editor: There are many reasons why the Harper government should be held to account for questionable actions; however, some of them are more egregious than others.

Recently Press Progress highlighted 10 major ones reasons why Stephen Harper is too “risky” for Canada: 1. The risk that the Conservative economic policy of crossing their fingers and hoping things get better will not, in fact, work out; 2. The risk of letting someone who keeps sabotaging international climate deals go to the Paris climate conference; 3. The risk of seeing more of Harper’s friends hauled off to jail; 4. The risk that more Conservative friends, donors and wedding guests will be given cushy jobs; 5. The risk that Conservatives will coverup their own crimes; 6. The risk of not knowing whether Canada’s defence minister has his facts straight at any given moment; 7. The risk that Conservatives will continue passing unconstitutional laws; 8. The risk that the principle of “rule of law” could be dismissed just by using air quotes; 9. The risk that Conservative MP Jeff Watson will continue to be entrusted with rail safety; and 10. The risk that voter suppression will deny Canadians their right to vote.

Something to think about on election day.

Larry Ewashen Creston

Tory legacy shameful, damaging To the Editor: I am writing to express my grave concern at the prospect of another federal Conservative government even forming as much as a minority government in this election. Through the enormous control of major media with the help of corporate friends and partisan appointments (including nine out of 11 CEOs for CBC), Mr. Harper’s Conservatives have a shameful and damaging legacy. A summary of some of their nastier accomplishments is as follows: The Conservatives were unable to balance a budget for years, but through repeated cuts to social services, including Veteran’s Affairs and health care, and the selling off of public assets at bargain prices (General Motors shares), they barely scraped together an alleged balanced budget. During this time, they lowered taxes and increased loopholes for the richest Canadians and corporations. The effect of appeasing the rich did not create more jobs or better jobs for a majority of Canadians.

They actually added $123 billion to the federal national debt, but have the audacity to proclaim themselves as prudent fiscal managers!

This same government gutted conservation laws on oceans and

fisheries and cut 75 per cent of the Status of Women offices. They still pretend to be “tough on crime” while using every trick to stop or delay or cover up their own illegal activities (Nigel Wright affair, Senate coverup of Nigel Wright affair, in and out spending scandals, robocalls, contempt of Parliament over lying about cost of fighter jets).

This government gleefully whips up anti-Muslim racism.

There are more crimes in Canada carried out by white supremacist groups, but the Conservative government won’t call them terrorists.

In the meantime, all immigrants are punished, even to the point on being denied some forms of basic health care upon arrival in Canada.

Democracy is not just voting for some rich old white man every four years or so; it is staying somewhat informed about issues that matter to the country you want your children to inherit and then holding elected officials accountable at every opportunity. You are not voting for a personal financial consultant, you are voting for a vision of a country that can be a world leader in how it treats all its citizens and how it models respectful treatment of the rest of the other people of this planet and even the planet itself. We deserve much better than the Harper government.

Dan Hula Lister

Retirees deserve security

To the Editor: This election, retirees across Canada are asking members of Parliament and candidates, and all Canadians, to make sure the next government of Canada honours its promises and commitments to retirees, and to all Canadians on retirement income security.

Employees played by the rules: They served their employers with honour and dedication during their careers. An employer that has benefited from the services provided by retired employees should not be allowed to go back on the promises and commitments made to those pensioners.

Retirees do not have the ability to bargain in retirement. They do not have the leverage that employees have and many do not have the option to earn other income. Their retirement income security cannot be left to the whims of employers and policy makers.

A pension is a promise and a commitment. Employees provide their service and employers compensate them. That compensation includes pensions. Federal employees bought and paid for their pensions through the collective bargaining process and through the contributions that matched those of the employer.

Pensioners trust their employers to keep their side of the agreement — to honour their promise.

Canada’s retirees deserve retirement income security. The best security we can give them is legislation to ensure that no employer, public or private, can go back on the pension promises made to people once they are retired.

Have you ever met with your accountant and asked the question, “Hey can I…” only to have them respond with “Where in the world did you hear that”?

As tax advisors we get a lot of questions from our clients after they have talked to “a guy” or “a neighbor” or “a friend” who has been dispensing free tax advice at the coffee shop, most of which is not founded in legislation and can lead to huge financial pain.

One of the most common examples of bad coffee shop advice relates to a parent adding an adult child to the title of their property; be it their principal residence, the cottage, or any other land/building. The reason often chided is to avoid probate fees! You be the judge; do you think it is worth saving a 1.4% fee that might arise in the future and exposing yourself to the following possible tax and legal implications??

• A gain on the deemed

disposition of the property (gift) and tax payable in the year the child is added to title – this could be significant dollars.

• Property Transfer Tax on change in registration of title – the rate is up to 2%.

• Loss of the principal residence exemption claim on the half of your home the child now owns; the child is now subject to tax on growth from date of transfer to date of sale.

• Expose the property to the claims of your child’s creditors (mortgages, liens, business debts).

• Subject the property to a claim under the Family Law Act should your child separate or divorce.

• Disturb your will planning since with joint title, the survivor takes it over outside of the will.

For example, if the will directs that the property is to be split among all children but only one has title after your death, it is very possible that that one child

could benefit and the others are left out. Family disputes are common after a death.

Real estate transactions can trigger significant income taxes and other taxes and expose you to legal liabilities. We strongly advise that you speak with a tax professional and your legal counsel before acting on the words of the guy at the coffee shop. We would much rather help you with your tax and estate planning before you take the guys advice and not be part of the clean-up crew of a bad cup of coffee.

Disabled workers stripped of employment rights

September was British Columbia’s Disability Employment Month and an opportunity to highlight the benefits of employing people of all abilities. As the New

abilities. Inclusion in the workplace not only benefits employees with disabilities, it benefits the entire business and has a positive effect on our communities and local economies. Raising awareness is work that needs to take place.

Yet, it should not take place while also stripping people with disabilities of their employment rights. But that is precisely what the Michelle Mungall B.C. Liberals are doing. Every month, Democrat spokesperson for they claw back maternity and social development, I was parental leave benefits from pleased to see the B.C.

of them are able to work and keep a maximum of $800 to $1,000 in wages per month depending on family size.

However, every year, 150 people receiving disability and income assistance need to take time off work, as is their right, to deliver and care for a newborn.

While working, they paid their mandatory employment insurance premiums and have the right to collect their EI benefits for their maternity and parental leave. When they do so, the Liberal government takes every dollar of it away. Without their wages or EI benefits, families impacted by this government policy are forced to live on less than $200 per month after rent.

expenses for their new baby. Not only is it unacceptable to be ignoring the rights of people with disabilities, but it is intolerable for the B.C. Liberals to put children in poverty from day one.

Promoting the benefits of employing people with disabilities has to be done in conjunction with respecting their rights, and it has to be done with recognizing that their children do not deserve to live in poverty. Christy Clark and her Liberals need to do more than talk.

We can do better. Help people with disabilities realize their rights by signing the petition to end the maternity leave clawback at www. michellemungall.ca. Together, we can make sure that next year’s disability employment month includes jobs and rights.

and having only $200 to pay for all the new expenses plus your own health supports for your disability. What do you choose? Your baby needs you to be healthy, but you can’t be healthy if you want to feed, clothe and diaper your child. Then there are transportation, hydro and telephone. What if your baby needs to go to the doctor? How do you pay to get there?

I’ve spoken to families from across the province, including here in the Kootenays, who went from barely making ends meet to racking up debt and going hungry while caring for a newborn. Their local food banks, family and friends do what they can to help, but parents still live in poverty with their children. And the external help doesn’t change the fact that they are being denied their rights by their government.

Just like any other parents, parents with disabilities need their benefits to pay rent and new

The world laughs with you Thanksgiving a time to gather together

Remember that old saying, “Laugh and the world laughs with you; cry and you cry alone”? Well, it’s true!

While laughter cannot always take away sadness, it

which naturally calms us, since stress is rarely caused by a situation but by how we perceive it.

Most of us know of, and use, various relaxation techniques — meditation, yoga, tai chi, deep breathing, music and many others. A good laugh — the kind that makes our eyes tear and our stomach hurt — can de-stress us Mary Underhill just as well as relaxcan certainly help us feel better. ation can.

The Voice of Experience

Each week when I do my grocery shopping, I take a cartoon or a written joke to the cashiers in the store. To see their eyes light up when I come in gives me quite a boost! And to hear them laughing as I get on with my shopping makes me smile, too. I’ve been told a couple of times how they look forward to getting a laugh — some days can be quite trying when dealing with customers.

(We have all seen or heard examples of that, haven’t we?)

It’s important to smile and say hello to people on the street, most particularly to strangers.

To make someone’s day a little brighter also makes our own a little brighter.

So, “love who and what you are and what you do each day.

Laugh at yourself and at life, and nothing can touch you,” says Louise Hay in her book, You Can Heal Your Life.

And remember that the world laughs with you — even just the world of cashiers in the grocery store!

Mary Underhill is a stress therapist and grief counsellor. The Voice of Experience is a column co-ordinated by the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors! It was a festive chicken lunch last week after a morning of singing with Joanna Wilson at the piano and the usual

sphere mixed with the promising smells of a warm lunch. Autumn themed poems were read, and after lunch the bocce teams lined up in chairs as the cribbage players set up for their games and some folks waited for the BC Transit bus to take them to their destinations. Others would be being picked up by family or going home on the TAPS bus later. We wish Richard Chlopecki, our usual transit driver, a healing journey for a torn tendon and welcome Don and Larry stepping ably up for Maureen Cameron our seniors.

Opening lines set stage for unique adventure

I like to take my time with opening lines.

I open a new book slowly, read over the first sentence or two, pause and read them again, savouring the unique flavour of the writing and reflecting on how these first words will foreshow what is to come before finally settling in for the long read.

I recently read The Painter by Peter Heller, which has an excellent and portentous opening: “I never imagined I would shoot a man. Or be a father. Or live so far from the sea.” The short sentences imply a directness, a frankness, a simple honesty. We know that the narrator has been separated from what he loves, has experienced turmoil and is in trouble. The juxtaposition of life, family and nature strikes at the heart of our frail human existence, and compels us to read deeper into the mystery.

The Book Drop

Seniors FROM PAGE 13

We told the children memories of our childhood homes, and they used drawing and collaging to represent what they heard. Check at Creston Card and Stationery for our window display of this project, plus a quilt they did.

Thanks to Mike Poznikoff for letting us use this space.

These are two projects of several we’re doing with youth and seniors under a Healthy Intergenerational and Multigenerational Connections program. The funding for this came through Employment and Social Development Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program.

We talked about who had plans for Thanksgiving, with one person clearly stating she wasn’t doing anything (happily relieved) and another excited to be cooking turkey and the trimmings with her family, which might number 20 people.

The conversation at one point turned to the challenges of hearing loss and hearing aids. Several people at our table were able to share their experiences with varying levels of deafness and also the impact it had on their lives, yet how they had learned to accommodate to the reality of it. As one person said, the great thing

about meeting like this, especially for the older folks, is that we’ve all experienced so much that we understand what each other has or is going through, and that the lived experience is very different than just reading about it.

Each week is filled with regular and sometimes oneoff projects, such as being in production for our fundraising calendar for 2016. All the location shots have been done and we’re eagerly awaiting to see the final photos to begin production. What a crew of eager “actors” TAPS folks are!

And thanks to Brian Lawrence of Inverted Image Photography for his enthusiastic participation.

Our Moving Along Together program continues to meet twice a week and you’ll find a column in this issue of the paper (page 8), the fourth in a series of eight on the topic of memory.

Congratulations to newest staff member Wendy Proskow and fiancé John who are getting married this weekend.

And a big thanks and our ongoing appreciation to our volunteers for helping create a family-like atmosphere here at TAPS. Maureen Cameron is the community liaison development coordinator for the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors.

Creston Valley Advance Thursday, October 15, 2015

Prior to the Oct. 19 federal election, the Advance asked the four member of Parliament candidates in the KootenayColumbia riding: 11. What is your position on the legalization/decriminalization of marijuana?

12. If you were being forced to vote along party lines for/against a bill you strongly opposed/supported because of what you believed to be best for your constituents, what would you do?

BILL GREEN 11. I fully support the Green Party policy with respect to marijuana/cannabis for both medicinal and recreational use, which is: legalize, research, educate.

Legalize so that the link between the production and sale of cannabis and drug gangs is severed. Research to carefully determine the full range of health/medicinal benefits and health risks.

Where scientific studies demonstrate health benefits and appropriate modes of use and dosages, medical marijuana should be brought fully within our regulated drug and medical system so that people needing cannabis treatment can obtain prescriptions from their family doctors and purchase treatments at their local drug store. The Green Party national pharmacare plan will then kick in so that cost is not a barrier to anyone needing therapeutic marijuana.

Physicians then need to be educated on the medicinal values of marijuana and all Canadians should be informed of the results of ongoing research about the health benefits and risks of various modes of cannabis use.

Decriminalization for possession is simply not good enough, as sale (trafficking) would remain a criminal offence and continue to associate access to marijuana with criminal gangs.

12. For a Green Party MP, this is not an issue. I would not be forced to vote along party lines. However, I would take the matter very seriously.

The first question I would consider is what commitments I’d made to constituents, either during the election period or after. My vote would be based on any commitments I had made. If I hadn’t made a commitment, I would then want to make sure that I had a good understanding of the interests of my constituents, through Internet polling, community meetings and conversations with local governments and organizations. Green MP Bruce Hyer was forced to leave the NDP

Bill Green (Green)

after he voted against the long gun registry.

DON JOHNSTON 11. The Liberal Party will legalize marijuana if elected.

The current system has proven to be a complete disaster and a recent World Health Organization survey of developed countries found that Canada has the highest number of teenage users. Clearly prohibition is failing to protect children and it also continues to support the gang culture that controls marijuana. In jurisdictions that have legalized marijuana, we have seen drops in petty crimes, no increase in the numbers of people using marijuana and huge income from taxes. We need to legalize, research and educate so individuals are making well-informed decisions. We will use the best practices of places that have already taken this step and move slowly to ensure an effective implementation of the distribution and control regime.

12. The biggest challenge currently for MPs comes from the use of omnibus bills forcing MPs to support them because they are part of the budget. We will discontinue this practice and the only votes the Liberal party would ask MPs to support will be budget bills, platform issues where we have promised we would undertake certain actions if elected and any motions that directly conflict with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Outside of these specific issues, we will have freedom to vote in a manner that supports the aspirations of our constituents. If, somehow, an issue came up outside these particular expectations that the party decided to, for whatever reason, try to “whip” the vote and I believed it to be in contravention of my personal convictions and what was best for my constituents, I would not hesitate to vote against the party.

WAYNE STETSKI 11. An NDP government will decriminalize recreation-

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 17

Don Johnston Wayne Stetski (Liberal)

al use of marijuana. Our citizens should not be imprisoned for simple possession.

The NDP has held this position for about 40 years, and it is something that the NDP has committed to taking action on immediately.

Medical marijuana, as already determined by the Supreme Court of Canada, should be available in a variety of forms. Smoking is a health hazard regardless of what you are smoking.

12. I believe strongly that a member of Parliament’s role is first and foremost to represent the best interests of his or her constituents. And I understand that no matter what, my job will be to provide service and representation to all residents, regardless of what party they may support, or who they voted for during the election.

Mr. Wilks declared in 2012 in Revelstoke that one MP cannot make a difference. He made this statement to a group of constituents who raised serious concerns about an omnibus bill that they felt would seriously damage our country. And Mr. Wilks agreed with them, until the party reminded him that his responsibility was not to have honest conversations with constituents, but simply to vote the party line.

I do not accept this. I believe that our democracy is too important, and our country is too valuable, to choose a candidate who readily admits that he does not have free will, that he will not vote in the best interest of his constituents.

A classic example of Mr. Wilks voting against the safety and security of his constituents was his support for Bill C-51, the secret police bill.

Mr. Wilks knows that the majority of his constituents adamantly opposed Bill C-51, but he voted for it anyway.

That, in my mind, is absolutely unacceptable.

DAVID WILKS 11. I am not in support of legalization of marijuana but do fully support the motion

(New Democrat)

put forth by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police that calls for a ticketable offence for those found in possession of small amounts of marijuana (1-30 grams). The Liberal party plan is reckless and is a knee jerk reaction to a serious problem in which they believe that if you tax marijuana all the problems will go away.

12. There are a number of dif-

David Wilks (Conservative) INCUMBENT

ferent bills in Parliament. Budget bills are votes of confidence and in those cases I would always vote with the party. The Conservative Party has the best record for allowing their members of Parliament to vote freely on bills of non-confidence and I have exercised that right on a number of occasions. The NDP has the worst record of allowing their members to vote freely.

In addition to other pre-election coverage — including Creston’s Oct. 1 election forum — the Advance has published candidates’ responses to two questions each week leading up to the Oct. 19 election.

This coverage can be read without a susbscription at www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca/federalelection.

Previous questions included: 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?

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 safer and more reliable?

5. What, if any, changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker program will you advocate for in order to help support tourism in the region? Or what is the alternative solution to businesses in our region that cannot find the staff they need to operate at full capacity?

6. Given the Kootenay-Columbia is a lake and riverfilled region with extreme weather events, how will you be an environmental steward and address the uncertainties of climate change?

7. What is CBC’s role in Canadian society and how should it be handled by the federal government?

8. Do you support the dissolution of the Senate?

Why or why not?

9. What is your reaction to the United Nations report issued earlier this year that criticizes Canada for a broad range of human rights failures including the lack of safeguards in Bill C-51 to protect Canadians’ civil liberties and an inadequate response to missing and murdered Aboriginal women?

10. Oil companies are intent on getting their product to market, whether it be by train or pipeline. At the same time, serious environmental and public safety issues have been raised about both methods of shipment. What do you see as the solution to these issues?

Gerhard and Missing Links offering eclectic mix SUBMITTED

(From left) Mike Mitchell, Neil Ostafichuk, Gerhard Link and Keith Brookfield make up Gerhard and the Missing Links.

Federal election day is Monday

Gerhard and the Missing Links are looking forward to their Oct. 24 concert at the Snoring Sasquatch as they present a familiar and eclectic mix of music spanning several decades and a few countries. Well known around the Creston Valley, the upbeat and entertaining group is made up of Gerhard Link, Neil Ostafichuk, Mike Mitchell and Keith Brookfield, who are delighted that the Sasquatch has again opened its doors as one of Creston’s best entertainment venues to performance artists from all over.

Link got his first guitar at age seven, formed a three-man band at 18 and by the time he was 20, had graduated to a four-piece group.

Three years later he was playing popular music all over Germany with his seven-piece group. He has spent the last 20 years playing in the Creston Valley and is recognized for his solo gigs, as well as combining talent with various local musicians.

Putting the Link in the Missing Links, he plays acoustic and electric guitars along with lead vocals.

Ostafichuk brings his many years of experience from the local trio Kings of Kitchener and lays a solid foundation on bass guitar and backing vocals. Ostafichuk began his career as a banjoist at a young age until relocating to the Creston Valley to pick up the bass guitar and cover the lower register for the Missing Links.

Mitchell picked up his first harmonica to pass the time away while

backpacking through Europe over 30 years ago. Keen on travelling and adventure, he always makes sure a few harmonicas are packed for a trip. Name a city or a country and chances are he has traded notes with the locals playing blues or country, and even tender Cuban ballads or some lively Mexican rock. For many years, Mitchell was part of the trio that made up the Kings of Kitchener, playing percussion on suitcases, wavedrum and bongo cajon and brings those diverse skills, along with vocals, to the Missing Links.

Brookfield grew up in a musical family and was recruited as the drummer for his brother’s bands. Landing his first professional drumming job at the tender age of 15, a year later he was playing six nights a week at a nightclub while attending high school. His past opportunities included playing with many Okanagan bands, including recording in various studios, but his renewed interest in music in the Creston Valley landed him behind the drum kit with many groups, including the Buddies, Full Circle and, most recently, Gerhard and the Missing Links, where he lays some steady beats on the drum kit for the group to follow along with backup vocals.

Tickets are $12 in advance at Buffalo Trails Coffee House, Kingfisher Used Books and Black Bear Books, and $15 at the door, which opens at 6 p.m.; the Sept. 26 show starts at 7. Teens receive a special $8 rate only at the door.

CRESTON VALLEY MUSIC TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION The Creston Valley Music Teachers’ Association (CVMTA) has for years held an annual scholarship fundraising event called Tapestry. A definition of tapestry is, “Designs woven together to produce a wall hanging.” The CVMTA’s Tapestry, running Oct. 23 and 25, is much like that definition.

Each year, different music teachers or combinations of music teachers perform a variety of musical pieces. Each year the CVMTA has guest performers who share their talents to add to this magnificent tapestry, which is displayed on a stage (wall) for the community to enjoy. CVMTA innovatively adds, takes away, makes new combinations and changes its annual Tapestry concerts, which gives the audience the best possible entertaining experience. This year’s Tapestry is no exception.

The other great thing is that all profits go toward increasing music scholarships for students of the

CVMTA, through the Monte Anderson Music Scholarship (MAMS). Therefore, purchasing a ticket will not only provide you with a high quality entertainment experience, it will help with tuition for worthy students seeking postsecondary music education. Again, the Creston-Kootenay Foundation will be on hand for those wishing to donate more towards MAMS. Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for students/seniors, $7 for children under 12 and $25 for families, available from CVMTA teachers (Monte Anderson, Michael Farnsworth, Laura From, Rhonda MacLellan, Anita Stushnoff, Bob van der Poel and Simone Wiebe), Black Bear Books and at the door. The concerts are 7:30 p.m. Oct. 23 and 2:30 p.m.

Oct. 25 at 2:30 p.m. at Prince Charles Theatre. Bring all your friends and relatives and come try out the new theatre seats!

Performers include the already mentioned music teachers, plus guest performances by the Velle Weitman Trio, Creston Community Band and Kokanee Brass.

BY ROBERT GANSER

I am 52 years old. I am working for A Break in Time Caffé. The owners, Judy and Calvin Germann, have been really good to me. I was hired by them through Kootenay Employment Services with its customized employment program.

Having this job has given me a purpose. I was assigned a job coach; her name is Darla. She is really kind and helpful, and she helps me stay on track and get my job done. She helped me learn my job. She has taught me not to interrupt customers and to work quietly around them.

I am learning to stay on task and talk less. I am responsible for watering and taking care of the plants and flowers. I sweep, mop and take care of the patio. I also help with taking out the garbage, cardboard and recycling.

The Break in Time staff are really friendly and helpful and nice to me. If I need help at work, they help me. I have learned many new skills from working at Break in Time, like how to care for flowers, how to climb a stepladder, how to work with others, and how to work alone and on my own.

I want to thank Calvin and Judy for hiring me and being so good to me. I want to thank my caregiver, Chelsey, and her family for taking care of me and driving me to and from work.

VETERINARY

I want to challenge other local businesses to hire others that are on low income or disability.

HOSPITAL Living on low income makes it hard for me to be able to go on trips to see my family, buy gifts for people or go on my bowling team. Having my job at A Break CRESTON in Time Caffé, I can make enough money to do those things.
