Plugging parking meters is going the way of the dodo after a town council decision at the Jan. 29 regular meeting to continue with free parking in metered spaces. There was no end date attached to the motion.

After considering an administration report on its options to reinstate paid meter park-ing, to adopt new technology for paid park-ing or to extend free parking Coun. Jerry Schmalz moved to continue no-fee parking with a two-hour time limit.

Town manager Lou Varela told council that studies conducted in the summer months of 2011 and 2012 showed there is no shortage of parking in the downtown core.

We are at about 70 per cent of capacity at peak times and compliance to the two-hour limit is more than 90 per cent, she said. The results were consistent over two years of study.

Enforcement of the two-hour limit will continue with random checks and by responding to complaints from businesses and citizens.

While no councillor spoke in favour of paid parking, council will still hear a report from staff in the near future about voluntary paid parking. Under such a system, dona-tions fed into parking meters could be directed to charity or toward designated town projects.

About 60 people gathered at Prince Charles Theatre on Friday evening to witness the installation of two Lower Kootenay Band councillors who were

elected in November.Incumbent Mary Basil was re-elected

and Robin Louie will serve his first term after returning to Lower Kootenay last year.

I would like to say that it is a great honour to be asked to MC this event,

Creston Mayor Ron Toyota said. Chief Jason Louie and his council have worked very hard to promote strong working relationships with the Town of Creston and Regional District of Central Kootenay.

See LKB, page 5

Fifteen singers from the Jan. 31 Crestons Best Singer quarterfinal will move on to the semi-final round on Feb. 14 (left to right, from top) Kelly Mehrer, Lexi Ducharme, Will Ralston, Brad Sutherland, Monica Blackmore, Morgan Benty, Laryssa Pugh, Ben Lansing, Victoria Bowns, Nora Blackmore, Teresa Rohbock, Matt Hansen, Cara Waddle, Wanda Powell and Frances Collison.

They will be joined in the semifi-nal by the 14 and under competition top three Marybeth Stenhouse, Jenna Leduc and Erin Collison, who were announced in the Jan. 24 Advance. Fourth- and fifth-place com-petitors Tyler Hoeve and Taya Blackmore from that night will also move on when only 19 adult singers registered for the quarterfinal, pro-ducer Vern Gorham changed his plans.

The original plan was to take the top 17 adults and the top three youth, he said. But I decided to give a couple of younger singers a chance.

Also competing in the first adult night were Daryl Collison, Justin Lysohirka and Caleb Siggers. Kyran Grant, who placed in the top five in the 2012 edition, was unavailable to com-pete in the semifinal, although audience voting would have allowed him to move on.

The audience will vote again in the semifinal at 7 p.m. Feb. 14 at Prince Charles Theatre, when the top 10 are chosen to advance to the final contest. Winners will be pub-lished in the Feb. 21 Advance.

A forum held at Prince Charles Secondary School on Jan. 30 identified safe youth space, a youth co-ordinator and youth activities as priorities for the Creston Valley.

About 70 people 50 youth, from Creston, Bountiful and the Lower Kootenay Band, and 20 adults, includ-ing regional district directors, the RCMP and members of the social services sec-tor and arts communities attended the forum, part of an initiative by Columbia Basin Trust (CBT), which is giving communities $25,000 a year for four years to put toward youth projects.

Aimee Ambrosone, CBTs planning and development manager, facilitated the discussion, which had groups bring up key issues surrounding youth aged 12-19, explore ideas surrounding the issues and, finally, choose priorities.

The lack of a safe place for youth or youth centre was quickly named as an issue, with eight of about a dozen groups identifying it.

Usually, its Millennium [Park] where most youth hang out, but thats not always the best place, said a boy.

Its not even open in the winter, a girl added.

One participant stated that a few youth centres have popped up in Creston and subsequently failed, but Regional District of Central Kootenay Area C director Larry Binks felt that bet-ter input on their operation is needed.

It will work if we decide its going to work, said Binks. We have to get the buy-in from young people.

A lack of sports, art and other activi-ties that youth actually choose and want was also a big issue.

One girl said that the Creston and District Community Complexs leisure guide offered little for older teens.

It had a few programs for teens under 16 and the only programs for over 16 were adult programs, a girl said. None of those were ones teens wanted to do.

Art classes for teens are hard to find, said another girl, and art groups in the valley are geared toward older artists.

They dont do anything interest-ing, she said.

If you arent in minor hockey, there is no ice time, said Mary Roundy, a teacher at Mormon Hills Elementary Secondary School.

She also raised a concern about the use of Goat River, which is often accessed on Highway 21 in a high-speed zone made congested by cars parked on both sides of the road.

Weve built barriers around our water rather than making it safely accessible, said Mormon Hills school teacher Mary Roundy.

Binks spoke up to let the forum know that a plan is underway that would allow safe access and parking, but that nothing will happen until 2014.

Its a process and weve been work-ing on it for the last four or five months, he said.

Other issues discussed included transportation and drugs/alcohol, but the ideas of a committee, space, co-ordinator, activates and river access were carried through to the priority identification stage. Participants were given stickers to place beside the prior-ity of their choice, and some chose to split their vote between two options or share it between two.

Youth committee received five votes and Youth space received 19.5, with five shared between the two. Youth space shared three votes with Co-ordinator, which earned 14.5 on its own. Six votes went to Activity and three were given to River access.

The priorities identified will be dis-cussed in the near future, and the funds will be distributed to the community through the Town of Creston. This sort of discussion was needed in the commu-nity, said Jesse Willicome, Crestons CBT youth liaison, who organized the forum.

After being away from Creston for almost 10 years, I was surprised by how much things have changed a lot of positive change, said Willicome. I was surprised to see things havent changed for youth that much. I feel theres a sort of critical mass around the issue. A lot of groups are trying to address it.

Hes looking forward to continuing the process and making changes for Crestons youth and this forum was just the beginning.

I think its going to be big in terms of the conversations its started, he said. I think the momentum will continue.

Five years after its formation, the Creston Valley Community Housing Society has part-nered with the Town of Creston for a building site.

An agreement has been reached that will pave the way for construction of affordable family housing units on the south Millennium Park parking lot, currently home to the Farmers Market.

We anticipate a really good relationship with the Farmers Market, said CVCHS spokesperson Rita Scott. They can certainly use the land until its needed, and that could be quite a long time.

Construction of what Scott said is much-needed rental housing for families is dependent on provincial funding. But the land acquisition is a key step in getting approval.

It has been a real challenge, she said. We looked at many other possible sites. Now we will work with architect Christine Ross to try to be really innovative and be environmentally responsible.

Creston mayor Ron Toyota said the towns partnership role is similar to the one undertaken to facilitate construction of Crestbrook Gardens, the low-cost seniors housing project that opened south of the railway tracks last year.

Like that site, we will still need a geo-tech study because it was the sawmill property, Toyota said. This is an important project because it addresses the housing needs of families. The housing society has done a tremendous amount of work, including a needs and demands survey, to get to this stage.

Scott said local volunteers are committed to a quality project that wont look like crap in three years. Having really good local management in place will be our strength.

She said the societys relationship with the town has been positive, and enhanced by town manager Lou Varellas experience in planning.

Scott said that Crestons lack of affordable family housing should help push the projects funding needs to be addressed by the province.

But we really need the support of the com-munity to do this, she said. There will never be enough money from the government, so we will need to ask for in-kind donations of labour and goods. And for money, of course.

We are really excited to actually nail down a site, and looking forward to answering public questions and exchanging ideas.

A public meeting is being planned for Feb. 19 at the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce.

Low cost housing is critical for families that struggle with income, to enable them to afford the other things beyond rent that keeps body and soul together, Scott said. It gives families a hand up and allows them to be part of a com-munity so they can give as well as get.

Peace Out, a feature-length documentary about energy extraction in the Athabasca, Alta., region and its real costs, will be presented by Wildsights Creston branch at Rotacrest Hall next week.

Directed and written by the award-winning Charles Wilkinson, Peace Out has been lauded as a balanced and even-handed look at the appar-ently insatiable demand for energy that leads to enormous projects like the Athabasca oil sands.

This is a generously inquisitive film, made with an open mind and a fierce sense of commit-ment, is a comment from the Vancouver International Film Festival. Its these two quali-ties that combine to make its conclusion so pow-erfully convincing.

The DVD cover of Peace Out makes a sobering observation and concludes with a question that demands an answer.

On the top left corner of North America an energy bonanza of unimaginable size is unfold-ing far from the eyes of the world. In Canadas vast Peace River region the mega-projects include a major new dam, tens of thousands of hydro-fracked shale gas wells, a nuclear power plant and the tar sands. Energy costs. Ever wonder how much?

Wilkinson focuses his camera on scientists, cor-porate executives, academics, activists, elected officials and area resi-dents, inviting them to give their points of view, which in turn inform the audience of Peace Out, an example of documentary film-making at its best.

We saw people on one side making whol-ly negative claims and people on the other making wholly nega-tive claims, Wilkinson says. But they werent listening to each other. We believe one key rea-son Peace Out is attract-

ing audiences and winning awards around the world is that rather than pointing fingers we tried to focus on that which unites us.

We are implicated, were all in this together. Were going to have to work together. Were maybe even going to learn to play together.

Peace Out screens at Rotacrest Hall at 7 p.m. Feb. 12. Admission is $6 at the door.

From page 1RCMP Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan, who is Mtis,

conducted the swearing-in ceremony after the new councillors were led into the theatre to the sounds of a cadet bagpiper.

Basil, a band elder, has spent most of her life in Lower Kootenay and has been a foster parent for more than 30 years. She has been a drug and alcohol councilor and first served on band coun-cil in 1966.

Im very proud that we have had a drug- and alcohol-free council for the last two years and I want to work to keep it that way, she said.

Basils council port-folio is the social sector (housing and health) and she represents LKB at meetings with the Ktunaxa Nation coun-cil, Ktunaxa Kinbasket Child and Family Services and the RDCK.

Robin Louie, a Prince Charles Secondary School grad, served for 12 years in the United States Marine Corps as an infantry unit leader, travelling to 74 coun-tries during his term of service. He has com-pleted two masters degree programs in business administration

and international business.While in the Marines, Louie worked with

American and foreign dignitaries, including two U.S. presidents, ambassadors, governors, may-ors and local chiefs in countries around the world. He is a father of three.

Being a good band councillor means being a good listener, Louie said. My job is to listen to what Lower Kootenay people have to say, and to learn from them.

Welcomes and small gifts of congratulations were delivered by Toyota, Gollan, RDCK direc-tors Garry Jackman (Area A) and Larry Binks (Area C), Area B alternate Penny A.P. Anderson, and representatives from Fortis BC and the College of the Rockies.

West Coat Amusements Ltd. will once again be allowed to use town property adjacent to Millennium Park when it comes to the area from May 2-5 this year. Coun. Jerry Schmalz voted against the motion, arguing that it doesnt contribute enough to the community.

Town employee and Blossom Festival committee chair Bev Caldwell told council that the com-mittee receives about $3,000 or more from West Coast Amusements under the land use agreement. In addition, she said, the amusement park accepts non-perishable food donations in exchange for a ride pass discount on one of the days it is in Creston. The donations are then contributed to the food bank.

Council BriefsCouncil agreed to review any

issues or resolutions that arise before regional, provincial and federal con-ferences to discuss voting strategies.

In the next citizen survey, Creston residents will be asked how they prefer to get communica-tions from the Town of Creston, whether via email, letter, newslet-ter, website, social media and more.

The town will donate items up to a $100 value for the Creston Valley Rod and Gun Clubs annual wild game dinner and awards night on Feb. 16.

Mayor Ron Toyota will attend the BC Mayors Caucus steering committee meeting in Prince George on April 29 and 30.

Councillors voted to pay for two half-day stipends to council members who participated in day-time strategic planning sessions on Jan. 16 and 17.

Council received a draft copy of Cultivating Creston, an integrated community sustainability plan that it spearheaded over the last year. Ross Beddoes, the towns municipal services co-ordinator, who orga-nized much of the work for the town, received compliments and thanks for his efforts on the project.

Council approved a request from Schmalz to rename the Community Pride Committee to the Creston Valley Spirit Committee. Updated terms of reference for the standing committee are being creat-ed and representatives from com-munity organizations will be invited to join.

The engineering and public works department was directed to move forward several equipment purchases that were planned for the coming year. Purchases made before the harmonized sales tax is discontinued later this spring will save the town about $47,000 because they will qualify for a full tax rebate.

Town manager Lou Varela reported that an agreement with the Regional District of Central Kootenay to continue to provide fire protection service for Erickson is nearly complete and should be signed within the next week or two.

She also said that preliminary discussions are underway to con-sider adding fire protection to other areas, including Lakeview and Arrow Creek, which currently have no fire protection.

Varela read an announcement by the Canadian Federation of Municipalities that Toyota will be receiving a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Toyota later learned that all mayors and chairs of regional districts and their equiva-lents will be similarly honoured.

As I recall, it was a chilly, early winter day. We had stopped at a Wal-Mart for something or other and I was drawn, no doubt as I thought of the cool temperatures to which we would soon return, to a display of mens long-sleeved pullovers.

Now, Im a lucky guy. Im an off-the-rack buyer. A size 10 shoe will always fit comfortably, 36 pants will not leave me gasping for air if I sit awhile (though a 30 leg is just a bit too short and a 32 soon leaves me with frayed cuffs a 31, of course, is as rare as the proverbial hens teeth) and an XL shirt will give me the suitable sleeve length and the loose fit that I prefer. I could use a couple of comfy long sleeved pullovers for the winter, I thought, and I found some that felt nice. I picked up a couple and off we went.

And I fell in love with those shirts. The poly-cotton blend didnt pill after the first washing, the sleeves are just right and the shirts arent too heavy or too light. For the next few months I found myself changing into one as soon as I got home from work.

Then recently, purely by chance, I found myself once again in a Wal-Mart and there was another display of those shirts, in different hues and patterns. I picked up two more, thinking that maybe I should just buy a couple dozen and Id never have to shop for another comfortable winter shirt again. Fortunately, common sense prevailed.

The shirts went through the wash and were ready to give me a rotation of four, not two, pullovers for wear around home. But some-

thing seemed odd. It finally struck me that the newest additions to my wardrobe fit quite differently to the first ones. I checked the labels. Same size, XL. Same mate-

rial. Same high-end designer, George, and same country of ori-gin, India.

And it started to bother me that we in the Western world are being taken advantage of. Sure, we feel good about buying from factories that hire kids straight out of the third grade. Were helping to put those little hands to productive use rather than having them atrophy on computer keyboards at school. Were giving them a sense of job satisfaction. Look, I just finished sewing one of the seams on one of a thousand shirts on my pile, I can hear them exclaim in wonder-ment. Were giving them a part to play in the global economy. They do the work and, halfway around the world, I get the benefit.

But maybe, I thought, we are now being taken for granted. Maybe their skills are in such great demand that quality control isnt what it once was. Is there an entire new generation of nine-year-olds that has become the equivalent of our own convenience store parking lot slackers? Do they no longer care about making each and every one of my cherished shirts fit the

same way? Have they become so accustomed to making easy smoke and Slurpee money that they no longer feel the pressure to follow a pattern with the same precision as

a Toyota assembly line robot?

Bad enough that these snot-nosed little labourers arent appreciating their pay-cheques, but where is George in this whole pro-cess? He goes to great lengths to design clothing items for both sexes and searches endlessly for ever more exotic fabrics and

colours (quite possibly to the detri-ment of the environment in other countries) to keep his discerning customers happy, and then cant free up enough time to do more than an occasional rudimentary spot check on the factories that once could be counted on to do fine work? Maybe I can understand, at least on some level, that the lure of big bucks eventually wears off for the little ones, but presumably George is an adult and we should be able to expect more than he is delivering. Dang it, when I buy an XL shirt I want it to fit like all the XLs Ive ever bought, not like the XXL-masquerading as an XL version I got on my last shopping spree.

Maybe its time to bring the man-ufacture of our consumer goods back closer to home. Surely the export of those jobs has left us with enough unemployment that there are now enough people who would be glad of the work. Heck, maybe we could even get adults to take the jobs. Why should it be that only the kids get all the smokes and Slurpees?

To the Editor:Could someone please explain to

me what is wrong with Creston time? In my opinion, as well as many other peoples opinions, not a damn thing! Obviously, certain knucklehead-ed town council members (and you know who you are) seem to think that there is. My advice to you is, if you want to live in a certain time zone, move there. If you dont like Creston time, leave. There you go. Your prob-lem is solved.

Like the old saying goes, If it aint broke, dont fix it. But by the looks of it, our councillors have nothing better to do than waste our tax dollars trying to fix an issue that really isnt an issue at all.

Is this just a make work project? Is there not enough work to keep six councillors occupied? If thats the case, maybe we should consider having only three members on our town council. Come on, people, think about it. It would save the town some money, which would actually benefit our com-munity and surrounding communities, as well.

To those councillors who want to change to Pacific or mountain time: Stop wasting our Creston time and find something more productive to do!

Ray SpeissCreston

To the Editor,I am writing in response to Clive

Englands Dec. 13 letter (Canada now appears to be pro-Israeli) expressing his disgust at Canadas opposition to granting observer status to the Palestinians. England portrays Israel as a hardline nation that opposes the Palestinians at every turn. To be fair, we need to look at the history of the conflict and realize that the Muslim leadership of the Palestinians does not want Israel there at all, and has used every means at its disposal to rid the land of the Jews, not just the sticks and stones England refers to. Israel is in a precarious situation, a democracy surrounded by enemies who, as England points out, do not even recog-nize her right to exist. As a friend of mine asked, How can one negotiate with people who are opposed to your very existence?

The conflict over Israel is primarily spiritual. Israel, through the Bible, brought to the world the teachings and principles on which are based the laws and guiding principles of most, if not all, of the free countries of the world. Even our own Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms rec-ognizes the supremacy of God and the rule of law as foundational to our democracy. The god who is recog-nized as having dominion over Canada is not a god of our own mak-ing, but is the god of Abraham, Isaac and Israel.

Israel is truly a light to the nations; throughout history, God has shown that He has never forsaken His peo-ple or His plans for them. From Israel came Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah whose birth, life, rejection, death, resurrection and eternal Kingdom were foretold in the

Scriptures. These same Scriptures tell us that He came not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him could be saved, which is the rea-son the Gospel message has gone out from Israel to all the world. It is the good news, the light for everyone: All who call on Him will be saved!

Opposition to Israel and her mes-sage to the world has resulted in per-secution, pogroms and the Holocaust, not to mention the situation of today, where we see Israel surrounded by enemies. As someone has said, If Israels enemies laid down their arms, there would be peace; if Israel laid down her arms, there would be no Israel. Personally, I am proud of Canadas support for Israel, a country and a people to whom we owe the principles (and the Saviour) that make and keep us strong and free. As it says on our Parliament buildings, He shall have dominion from sea to sea.

Thank God for the privileges He has given us, a country strong and free, based on His principles. We owe much to Israel.

Robert SlimmErickson

To the Editor:The Jan. 10 column by Vladimir

Certik (Consider This: Religion ver-sus the Bible) was too negative toward denominations. He claims to be thinking outside the box but fails to realize he is just in a different box. This writer knows because he was once in that very same box, very dog-matic, self-righteous and saw only other churches beliefs as negative dogmas.

How did I get out of that box? First, I never met a pastor or priest I did not like. Next, to my surprise, I could not deny that I met so many people from those religious-bound denominations who were by far nicer, having more patience and better atti-tudes than me. In other words, more like Jesus.

Finally, the truth that God looks at our hearts and not at our dogmas or our denominations was understood. There is only one church from Gods perspective, so let us love and uphold one another.

A genuine Christian supports Israel and does not support Satans lie that its people are not real Jews.

Certik wrote that most Christians believe that in hell you will be tor-tured forever. As we all know, there are just two places we can go to and spend eternity. By choice, you can seek God and mature in His love that is, to be more like Jesus and hav-ing a relationship by the help of the Holy Spirit.

However, if you do not want God, then you made the choice to go to hell. God gave us a free choice. We are warned again and again about hell in the Bible. Jesus used Gehenna for hell because everyone knew that place. Some claim having a vision of fire and smoke in hell. Another claims complete darkness. These are different aspects of an indescribable place.

Scriptures reveal that in hell are different areas for the severity of indi-viduals sins and crimes against humanity. To burn in hell is easily translated. The people are burning

inside their souls and regretting. How could I ever have been so stu-pid and believe there was no creator, God, and accept Satans evolution? Why didnt I check the Bible? Why did I procrastinate and say I would wait until I was old? Nobody laughs in hell about the wisecrack, Oh, I dont mind going to hell. All my friends are there.

Why is hell so bad? Because with-out God it becomes a desolate, dry desert no birds, no animals, no trees or vegetation, no serene lakes or slow-moving rivers. In this hopeless state, the people are in continued wailing. They do not need food, and they do not need nor can they sleep. There is not one second of relief. They are not even able to take their own lives.

As a Christian, I have to and do sin-cerely apologize for the harsh words I wrote against historian Paul Fussell in my last letter (Historians comments shock reader, Nov. 29 Advance). I always have honoured soldiers from the first and second world wars. His critique of John McCraes poem, In Flanders Fields, I took as character assassination, wrongly assuming that he could never have been a soldier in war. In my anger, I did what I accused him of.

Thanks to Dr. Lou Knafla, who informed us more about Fussell (Critique of poem based on facts, Jan. 10 Advance).

John JorgensenCreston

To the Editor:We received our Regional District of

Central Kootenay Area B newsletter a couple of weeks ago, and front and cen-tre is the time change issue with Judy Gadicke espousing her favourite obses-sion. She seems to have nothing more important to look into at town hall than this monumental problem. We are solic-ited to fill out an opinion poll (http://www.rdckareab.com/features/time-change.html) that purportedly is going to gauge the opinion of the Area B elec-tors. What I find most offensive about this use of our tax dollars is that the answer to the poll is preordained by the nature of the question. We can either vote for no change or daylight sav-ings (Cranbrook time). The choice totally left out is Pacific time. Let me explain why I think Pacific time should at least be given consideration in our representatives thinking.

Standard time is based on Greenwich mean time, which, in turn, is based on solar noon. In the winter, when Pacific standard time is in effect, at noon the sun is directly above Osoyoos, making that the centre of the time zone. Moving east of the centre gives us the edge of the zone, where the time should normally change if we were to go only by latitude, without any consideration for the topography or natural land divisions such as the Rockies. The edge of the Pacific Zone in this case would be approximately Lethbridge. So we here in Creston are closer to the centre of the Pacific time zone than the eastern edge. And more practically, any direction we go from here except east enjoys Pacific time. The ferries run on Pacific time. Idaho is on Pacific time. And if we have any business with the B.C. government or officialdom, either on the coast or even in Nelson, the administrative centre of the RDCK, they are all on Pacific time.

See TIME, page 8

Whats wrong with time?

Israel conflict is spiritual

All are free to choose God or hell Poll misses

time option

From page 7If we would align with the

Regional District of East Kootenay, I could see the pur-pose of being on their time zone, but on the other hand, having a split time zone in an area as small as the RDCK seems rather ludicrous. Of course if we were to align with the RDEK, it would probably

cost some elected representa-tives some lucrative jobs and possibly save taxpayers some money, so I guess that options out.

What the promoters of Mountain time fail to acknowl-edge and refuse to mention is that at the moment we here in Creston enjoy Pacific daylight time all year. Even during the winter, our time is almost an hour ahead of the solar noon, the purpose of daylight time.

And even though Vancouver is the centre of the B.C. universe and we are only an outlier, we are still part of this province, no matter what all the Albertaphiles liv-ing here might wish.

If our represen-tatives are going to all the trouble of having a poll, at least make it an honest one and include all the options available to us. And to Judy Gadicke and others, stop showing your biases so blatantly. Oh, and put me down for Pacific time.

Advertorial

Seniors want it all: a com-fortable home, independence to follow their own schedule and maintain their own interests, safety and security, delicious food and the company of others. And who can blame them? Not long ago, seniors had limited housing options, and few met all of their needs. But in the fall of 2005 Crest View Village opened its doors and a new style of seniors housing opened in Creston, pro-viding todays seniors the oppor-tunity to experience retirement living at its best.

Crest View Village is a well-crafted seniors community boasting 74 beautiful suites ran-ging from studios to one and two bedroom layouts. These maintenance-free living suites incorporate supportive features to promote independence and 24-hour emergency monitoring service for added peace of mind. Kitchens include a fridge and stove and each suite is equipped with its own personal heat and air conditioning controls. Beyond the suite is access to a variety of common areas which include a games room, spa room, library, dining room, coffee room, crafts room, hair salon and lounges. All areas are easily accessible, full of interesting people, engaging activities and share a wonderful sense of community.

Hospitality services at Crest View Village are included in the

affordable monthly rent and include weekly housekeeping, a wide selection of recreational and social activities, 24 hour emer-gency monitoring, shuttle bus service, and hot, delicious meals prepared by on-site chefs. And each meal is served by cheer-ful wait staff in a central dining room, with a cozy fireplace where guests and families are always welcome.

In addition to the hospital-ity services, residents can enjoy peace of mind knowing they dont have to worry about extra bills because all utilities includ-ing water, sewer, heat, air condi-tioning and cable are also includ-ed.

Whats more, Crest View Villages convenient location enables seniors to easily maintain their relationships with friends and family. And at Crest View Village pets are a big part of the family. In this pet friendly build-ing residents are encouraged to bring their pets with them to live.

Free from the responsibilities of home-ownership, seniors at Crest View Village can enjoy the many other activities and joys that life offers. Were fortunate to live in a time when retirement living options provide everything seniors want and more! Crest View Village is open daily; and you can call (250) 428-9986 for more information or to book a tour.

The World Dictionary defines collaboration as a verb meaning to work with another or others on a joint project or projects. Synonyms include teamwork, partnership, alli-ance and co-operation.

At the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce, we are busy collaborating with numer-ous businesses, groups and orga-nizations on a variety of projects, all with the goal to improve the business climate and quality of living in the Creston Valley for residents, workers and visitors.

We work with our member-ship to promote and support local businesses. We do this through business referrals, business-to-business support, shop local strategies, the Home and Garden Show (April 12 and 13), operating the Visitor Centre, offering workshops and newsletters to share infor-mation and resources.

Lets Get Together is a group of business people and commu-nity organizers co-operating to

make local special events big-ger, better and more successful. By working together on plan-ning events, we can avoid pit-falls (such as booking two events on the same night), share resources, share advertising

costs, cross-pro-mote and draw o u t - o f - t o w n audiences for m u l t i - d a y /multi-event get-aways. A key component of this strategy is utilizing the free community events calendar

at www.crestonevents.ca.We are proud to be working

with our local artisans on sev-eral fronts. The chamber build-ing is the site for an ongoing art show in partnership with the Community Arts Council of Creston, the Creston Art Club and Artistic Visions. Plans are in the works to host Art and Culture Week followed by the annual Focus on Youth visual arts show. The space is possible because of the support we received from our dedicated board members, member busi-nesses, and the Creston Valley and Creston Rotary clubs.

The Creston Valley Food Action Coalition is another important alliance. In addition to being a tenant in our build-ing, we are working with their

organization and others in the agriculture sector to improve the local food economy. One key collaborative project that supports tourism, agriculture, and economic development was the new tourism website, www.CrestonValleyBC.com.

And there is countless and ongoing collaboration with key stakeholders: the Town of Creston, Regional District of Central Kootenay areas B and C, Kootenay Employment Services, the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area, College of the Rockies, Columbia Basin Trust and Tourism BC. And we need to collaborate with you!

We are looking for people that are genuinely proud of our valley and eager to promote the uniqueness of our region. We need persons to act as greeters at the Visitor Centre, share their knowledge of the area and gen-erally help us help visitors so they stay here and play here. It is not a huge time commitment. It can be as little as a few hours as needed (at special events or during busy tourist times) or as much as a shift every week. If you are interested in being an ambassador, please call Jim at the chamber of commerce at 250-428-4342 or, better yet, stop by the chamber and see what we are all about!

Jim Jacobsen is the executive director of the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce.

OK, we have been at this for a year now is it really making any difference? By this, I mean Heather and I each bought ourselves an adult pass year membership a year ago and made the commitment to swim-

ming three times a week at about 5:30 am Monday, Wednesday and Friday just before work, as well as working out in the gym after work on the same days. We have been pretty diligent and really never missed too many days out of the year but one thing we both found is that it definitely helped to travel as a pack your excuses why not to swim or workout sound a lot lamer when there are two of you (which usually meant you swam or worked out).

So from a financial stand-point, what did that cost us? Of course, when you buy an annual membership, thats a pretty big financial commitment we actually started with a 10-time pass each, tried it and liked it, then graduated to a three-month pass each, tried it and I was told I still liked it, so we took the plunge and got a year member-ship. The annual membership is

the best deal but it depends entirely on how often you use it the more times you visit, the less per time it costs you. A year pass for both of us totalled just over $800 before tax and we had a total of 447 visits (again

between the two of us). That boils down to each use cost us $1.80 ($2.01 with tax), which interestingly is about the same price as the cup of coffee we have after working out

thus driving the need to exercise to purge our bodies of caffeine (a.k.a. the hamster wheel effect). We are also not what we would call high users there are peo-ple that are a lot more rabid than us that come here almost every day more than once, driving that cost per visit even lower.

OK, thats what is cost us. But what did we gain? Thats a little tougher to present in a paragraph how do you quan-tify the increase you have in energy after each swim or the fact that instead of you blowing out your back three or four times a year picking up fire-wood or shovelling snow, it happened once and recovery was a quarter of the time because of the better shape you are in? Its hard to measure how even though you have passed the half-century mark and had noticed for the last number of years the decline in strength or

endurance that comes with age, you have stabilized and even gained some of that lost ability back. I dont know how to eval-uate the fact that you physically feel better and instinctively know the machine is purring along a bit smoother as it is designed to do. I intuitively know that after a year of exercis-ing, beneath that layer of over-indulgence in nachos, cheese and beverages around my waist, there lies hidden the abdominal six-pack so prevalent in adver-tisements for blue jeans.

So, tell me this: What do you spend on the maintenance of your vehicle per year? I would imagine you change the oil a few times, maybe filters and plugs once in a while, swap out the tires as required, wash or wax if you are really energetic stuff like that. Why wouldnt you put the same investment or more into yourself? We are the human machine, and a pretty miraculous one at that, one that takes way more abuse than we would ever put our vehicles through, yet it has the ability to bounce back from all our smok-ing, drinking, poor eating, mis-cellaneous destructive behavior and keep ticking. If swim and gym is not your thing, you can still have an effective exercise and nutrition routine that doesnt cost any extra yet just might get you that extra mileage and most of us are always looking for better mileage.
