LKB buys Ainsworth Hot Springs ResortBY LORNE ECKERSLEY

Advance Staff

Ainsworth Hot Springs Resort, a popular Kootenay Lake tourist des-tination, is being purchased by the Lower Kootenay Indian Band (LKB), Chief Jason Louie announced March 19.

The acquisition, which will see ownership change hands in April, is an important economic develop-ment investment for his people, and it has historical significance too, he said. (More history on page 5.)

“The Lower Kootenay Band has a history with the site that dates back hundreds of years,” he said in a press release. “The Ainsworth hot springs are known by the Ktunaxa people as nupika wu’u, which has a literal translation meaning ‘spirit water’.”

Louie said on Monday that the purchase was announced to about 65 Lower Kootenay Band mem-bers at a community meeting last week.

“We couldn’t advertise what it was about, so we just said it was to discuss economic development,” he said. “It was one of the biggest meetings we have ever had. There were a lot of questions asked but no challenges to our purchase, but the atmosphere in the room was upbeat and optimistic.”

Louie said the LKB faces numer-ous challenges, including establish-ing working relationships with resi-dents of Kootenay Lake’s west shore, and connecting with the many tourism-related organiza-tions in the Kootenays.

Equally important, though, is to ensure changes and new develop-

ment are in keeping with First Nations values, and that they pro-vide an educational proponent that brings the band’s history and cul-ture into the picture.

“We will be relying on the few

elders that we have left to guide as we move forward,” he said.

International tourists are among the many opportunities the resort offers, Louie said.

“I was at the resort with my fam-ily last week and in the pool and caves we could hear many languag-es being spoken — I would guess German, French, Russian. There are a lot of international visitors and we want to give them a unique cultural experience.”

He said one idea being discussed is the installation of teepees that could be used as accommodation in the spring, summer and fall months, inviting visitors to get a deeper understanding of the hot springs’ importance to earlier generations of Lower Kootenay people.

The Creston Valley Hospital’s original

palliative care room has been improved and refurbished thanks to donations from the Creston Valley Hospice Society, Creston Valley Rotary Club and Creston Rotary Club.

The room has been named Kulilu, a Ktunaxa word mean-ing “butterfly” or “transition”.

Donations totalled over $7,000, with residual funds from the Creston and District Credit Union legacy funds donated

for the second pallia-tive care room. Improvements to the room will significantly enhance both patient and family comfort.

The Town of Creston is launch-

ing a new and improved municipal website (www.crest-on.ca) April 2, fol-lowing a four-month redesign process by CivicPlus, a leading government website provider.

The website now has a cleaner, easier layout to navigate, helping the town to increase its communi-ty engagement and enhance the commu-nication between resi-dents and the local government. Citizens and the Town of Creston will be able to communicate, stay informed and report through some of the new features and modules:

•Notify Me: allows residents to subscribe to catego-ries of their choosing in order to receive email or SMS Text notifications about events, newsletters, public notices, jobs and more;

•Archive Centre: offers an uncomplicat-ed way to search and view all date-based documents, such as council meeting agen-das and minutes, newsletters and reports;

•Calendar: pro-vides dates and infor-mation on upcoming town and department events;

•News Flash: dis-plays current organi-zational news and press releases; and

•Important Documents: a page designed to improve local government transparency through direct links to high level planning docu-ments (annual reports, budget reports, Official Community Plan) and other important documents.

After the launch, the Town of Creston will continue to build on and increase the functionality of the new features and modules. This includes allowing residents to report concerns online through designated categories, and the option to fill-out and submit forms and applications online.

Dan CaverlySTORY SPOT — The Creston Valley Public Library celebrated the reopening of the children’s area on Saturday, starting with a ribbon cutting by (back row, from left) Brian Lawrence, chief librarian Aaron Francis, Gail Kitt, Telus senior regional market man-ager Carly Jellis and Jennifer Adams. The section was overhauled with a $5,000 grant from Telus, as well as donations from other sponsors, and now includes educational activities and iPads for youngsters. Members of Footlighters Theatre Society — including Ian MacKay (below left) and Adams (below right) — attended the event as storybook characters to read to and entertain children attending the event. Telus donated $150 to Footlighters for their efforts; the funds will be put toward their production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel in April.

BY TAMARA HYNDNelson Star

The Regional District of Central Kootenay board unanimously adopted its 2015-19 finan-cial plan on March 19. The plan continues to manage the surplus and reserve balances in each of the RDCK’s 160-plus services.

The general administration service will increase by four per cent from 2014, while rural administration will remain the same as 2014.

The board has also changed how water ser-vice charges are allocated, resulting in an increase of all water system user fees, which it says reflects the true costs of operating, main-taining and delivering safe, potable water to RDCK residents.

Denver Siding will see the largest increase of $349, partially due to repairs after damage to the water system in 2014. South Slocan, however, will see no increase as they had more funds in their budget, according to chief administrator Stuart Horn.

Directors discussed the increases before adopting them today.

“Water users need to see the real costs,” said East Shore director Garry Jackman.

“We need to take the bullet now,” said rural Creston director Larry Binks, rather than having an even larger increase a year later.

Some rural areas saw tax increases due to the establishment of new services.

Total taxation for the district is approxi-mately $24 million.

“The RDCK thanks those residents who attended our public meetings to review the financial plan and provide valuable input,” said chair Karen Hamling.

The full financial plan will be available at rdck.ca on March 31.

RDCK adopts financial plan

“Lower Kootenay has a unique culture and a unique language,” he said. “It is not associated with any other lan-guage family.”

The resort includes land that will accommodate further development.

“This is a great economic development opportunity, but it does not include plans for a casino, despite the rumours,” he said. “We don’t have an interest in capitalizing on peo-ple who don’t have the funds to spare for gambling.”

Education about language and culture won’t be restricted to tourists.

“We also have to work to

educate our own community,” he said. “The majority are young and there are definitely generation gaps. Many haven’t really been exposed to our lan-guage and culture.

“My own children are excited. Changes will come in due time and the transition will start with a new branding of the resort.”

Curtis Wullum, LKB devel-opment services director, said on Monday that about $500,000 is earmarked for capital improvements, which “came from our due diligence.” They will focus on improvements to the banquet and restaurant facilities and a patio.

The resort, located 22 kilome-tres south of Kaslo on the west shore of Kootenay Lake, has been family-owned since 1962. Current owners Norm and Joyce Mackie purchased the property

from Joyce’s parents, Sam and Belle Homen, in 1979.

No immediate dramatic changes are planned for the resort, Louie said. He and band representatives met with resort staff March 18 to announce that all employees would be kept on. LKB will be investing in capital improvements at the resort in the near future.

“The resort will provide meaningful employment and business opportunities for the citizens of Yaqan Nukiy and local residents, and will continue to be a major tourism destination of the region,” he said.

The resort currently pro-vides about 50 jobs in the man-agement and operation of the hot springs, 41-room hotel and restaurant.

“We are privileged and pleased to enter into this pur-

chase agreement with Chief Jason Louie and the Lower Kootenay Band,” Norm and Joyce said in a written statement. “The resort has been a family affair since 1962 and transferring owner-ship is a daunting experience.

“This has been a wonderful 35-year ride for our family. Probably the best part for us has been to watch young people, in their first job, come to work with us, and become self-assured contributors to the work force. Many of these people come back to visit and tell us this was probably the best job they ever had. This is truly gratifying.”

“The spirit water has been medicine for healing various ail-ments that the human body experiences,” said Louie. “This busi-ness venture recon-nects our First Nation to a significant cultural site of the Ktunaxa people.

“The Lower Kootenay Band will continue to strive for excellence in hospitali-ty and experience. Professional develop-ment will be ongoing and customer service will remain a priority.”

A formal grand opening event is planned for the summer.

History of Ainsworth Hot SpringsBY LORNE ECKERSLEY

Advance Staff

A photo of Ainsworth Hot Springs taken in 1888 shows a nat-ural water-filled basin, but there are no obvious signs of caves.

Research provided by Nelson Star editor Greg Nesteroff suggests that the caves may have started out as a small natural opening in ancient calcium deposits. But Nelson’s John Burns developed the springs as a commercial enterprise in the 1920s and at that time a first tunnel was enlarged. Soon after, according to reports, a local miner was hired to blast out a second tunnel and to con-nect it with the existing one.

The Ainsworth springs originate in the area of the Cody Caves, above and to the west. Water seeps to a depth of nearly two kilometres, increasing in temperature at a rate of 40 C per kilometre as it drops. The heated water collides with a lake-shore fault, which causes it to rise back up to Ainsworth. At the rear of the caves, the water emerges at about 47 C. The water flows steadily, com-pletely changing the water in the caves and pools naturally six times a day. The cold plunge pool is fed by a separate stream.

Lower Kootenay Band (LKB) Chief Jason Louie says his people have been visiting the hot springs (known as nupika wu’u, or ‘spirit waters’) for centuries — “maybe 500 years” — as they roamed the Kootenay Lake area to hunt, fish and pick berries.

“We are left to assume that after spending the days clambering around the hills, a soak in the hot mineral water was enjoyed by many,” accord-ing to the Ainsworth Hot Springs Resort website. “This idyllic lifestyle

would have continued until the first prospectors came into the area.”

The First Nations lifestyle wasn’t always “idyllic”, though. Louie says his band’s oral history includes tales of warriors crossing Kootenay Lake and engaging in battles with another tribe.

“Our people have always used the springs to get relief from things like arthritis and when they returned from battle our warriors believed the ‘spirit water’ had healing substances that treated their injuries,” Louie said.

The first written records about the hot springs area indicate that

an Oregon prospector, George Ainsworth, applied for a preemp-tion of the site that is now Ainsworth. It was first called Hot Springs camp and established on the strength of silver, lead and zinc discoveries in the area.

There is an earlier historical refer-ence, though. In 1865 Edgar Dewdney was quoted, “When coming down the west side of the lake, after explor-ing the north end, at a point where Ainsworth camp is, we were sur-prised to find a white man. … He told us his name was Dick Fry. … Before leaving he showed me over the hot springs and exhibited several

specimens of rich galena float.”When John Burns completed the

pool and cave development the Great Depression was underway. A succes-sion of lessees operated the pool through the 1950s. At that time, the price of silver dropped and the mines were closed. The owner of the day, Yale Lead and Zinc. Co., sold the property, which by then included a lodge. Sam and Belle Homen bought the property in 1962. They retired in 1972, selling the resort to their daugh-ter Joyce and her husband, Norm Mackie.

“Mountains and waters right now actualize the ancient Buddha expression. Each abiding in its con-dition, unfolds its full potential. Because mountains and waters have been active since before the Empty Eon, they are alive at this moment. Because they have been the self since before form arose they are emanci-pation actualized.”

Medieval Zen master Eihei Dogen, as he usually does in his essays, begins with what he most wants to say. Everything he says after that is further explanation. Here he is saying that mountains and waters, as well as everything that is deep in our hearts, every physical thing, every object that appears — including computers, free-ways and cellphones — is the expres-sion of the most profound of Buddhist understanding and teachings. Everything is Buddha. Everything expresses the fundamental truth of existence. We think of mountains and waters as a part of something bigger than ordinary reality, but we think of cellphones and computers as objects that are not spiritually significant. But Dogen says that everything that appears expresses the purest and highest truth.

What a great idea! It’s stunning to imagine. Who would argue with such a thing? But it’s hard to realize

this truth. It’s easy to say you believe it, but if you observe your thoughts and experiences during a day you will see that you do not actually think this is true. You do not think that sitting down to lunch is immersing yourself in the truth of existence.

A preference comes up, “I don’t like this brown rice; I wanted some-thing else for lunch.” But if brown rice were the absolute manifestation of Buddha’s truth you could never have such a thought. But if you real-ize that all the things you do and all the things you are express the Buddha’s spiritual truth, it becomes obvious that you can live a life of deep and constant reverence.

Of course we all have our prefer-ences. But if you were living in the world that Dogen is describing you would have different set of respons-es. You would have a deep realiza-

tion of how miraculous it is that we are here at all. Of course every moment contains spiritual truth, but we don’t usually realize that when we sit down and find brown rice on our plate instead of what we thought we wanted. So we are dissatisfied all the time because we don’t like the rice or because we want a different car or a faster com-puter. We reject what is happening in our life right now. We have for-gotten what Dogen is telling us: that mountains and rivers — that is, that everything in our lives — are a full expression of deep spiri-tual teachings.

Suggested practice: Imagine that you are completely content with life as it is at this moment. Stop in the middle of some activity and pay attention to your breath, the most constant reality in your life. Take the time to realize the miracle that, once again after breathing out, you have breathed in.

To the Editor:There was a time some 46 years

ago when I was needed, rushed as a serviceman of mobile homes to the most remote places of B.C., Saskatchewan and northern Alberta to repair, servicing mobile homes of ranchers, prospectors, farmers and teachers. Later, I worked till early morning to meet deadlines of high fliers in the oil industry dealing in million-dollar schemes. I drove thousands of miles back and forth to Kootenay Lake and plowed my money and sweat into fabulous properties and eventually sold them as I was forced to. I worked another 13 years to develop a disaster of a “jungle” in West Creston to make it my home to cherish and be proud of. I have given this country two children and countless thou-sands of tax dollars.

Now, after my two previous doc-tors retired and the third one had to leave town I am proud to be informed: You are on the waiting list! In two places at that, eh?

Sadly, I do have more complex issues to deal with than a pain or discomfort. Much more than what a visit to emergency department can solve. I am relegated to the “scrap heap of history”. I am nearly 68 and I need a dedicated doctor that can resolve my internal problems, and I find it sad, tragic and unpleasant to beg a specialist in Cranbrook to do an investigation of my insides not knowing who to send his findings to. Will I have to arrange my own chemotherapy?

Yes, I am disappointed that a long time ago with bright eyes,

ready and willing, I donned my coveralls and gloves and went to salvage the situation as I was told. I am sad that the country that I chose — that is my home (and there is no better!) — has money for sending our young men to spill their blood on the other side of the world but has no money to look after its own right here. May the good Lord have mercy on all those following in our footsteps.

To the Editor:I agree in part with Peter

Bulkowski’s March 12 letter (“Simplification omits key informa-tion”), but his brief mention of cur-rent politics was news to me although I have tried to keep abreast of endless war news on the eastern front from a number of Internet sources. I do agree that Canada’s foreign policy has been for the most part consistent with NATO policy, with the exception of having kept Canada out of the Vietnam War, and I doubt whether the Canadian elec-tion this October can have much of any effect on Canadian collaboration commitments.

As to Peter’s feelings about the horrors of communism, I can appreciate that. But at the same time, I can understand the deep feelings against neo-Nazism on the part of Russians who lost 20 or 30 million people fighting Hitler’s march on Moscow. Ukraine was part of the battle of Kursk, the big-gest, most horrific armoured land battle in history with horrendous

losses on both sides, but which nevertheless ended Hitler’s attempts at conquering the U.S.S.R. Indeed, the current disaster in Ukraine is a reminder of its tragic past. But times change and current politics are different.

Rules change by convenience at the international level. NATO sup-ported Kosovo rebels by massively bombing Serbia into giving up part of its national heritage. Perhaps for that reason, Russia did not feel deterred from rescuing Russian speakers from former Georgia president Mikheil Saakashvili’s military attack on Ossetia and Abkhazia in 2008.

Ukraine president Petro Poroshenko is a tragic figure, a loser. He foolishly thought the neo-conservatives, Valerie Nuland and her ilk, were his friends, with their $5 billion to install the Kiev junta so that alliance with NATO would bring glory to Ukraine. Some think that support for the neo-Nazi minority was intended to make Putin lose his cool and invade. But he did not. If the Russian army had invaded, it would have been more than obvious rather than mere war propaganda. The Odessa massacre and program of genocide of Russian speakers united eastern Ukraine behind the rebels, and resulted in volunteers from Europe and Russia.

Poroshenko’s incompetence as a military leader resulted in terrible losses in the field of battle. And it has achieved one more of a long list of failed states from NATO interventions. The additional NATO troops now entering Ukraine as “advisors” can only increase the demolition and misery while Europe and Russia contends with more war refugees.

As the clock edges toward mid-night in the nuclear garden of evil, I think current Western politics is one sick puppy.

To the Editor:At approximately 7:30 p.m. March

14, I found my friend lying on the kitchen floor unconscious and unre-sponsive. She appeared to have fainted for some reason. I called 911, which was slowly answered after several rings. I identified myself and my loca-tion, and asked her to send an ambu-lance. Explaining the situation, the operator put me on hold without explanation, and told me not to hang up. After what seemed like a very long time, after waiting for the operator to return, I hung up to attend to my friend, who was showing signs of life by opening her eyes and speaking.

The phone rang and I answered to find an RCMP officer asking what the concern was, for which I took the time to explain and, in conclusion, that I was going to load my friend into my vehicle and transport her myself to the local Creston hospital. This, I have been informed, could have been a very bad choice in a heart attack or stroke occurrence. Luckily, we made it safely to the hospital where she remained overnight for tests and observation, which I am pleased with, considering the 911 responder delayed action and guidance time. I am very pleased that my friend did not experience a more immediate life-threatening event because of the area’s emergency response guidelines, if there are any to be followed, in the case of heart attacks, strokes or any other number of life’s necessary functions.

Now is the time to ask local admin-istrators how they can improve 911 guidelines, particularly how those involving how unresponsive person at home are to be handled. In my opinion, there are a number of errors in the above 911 responder’s actions that should be improved. Have a set of spe-cific questions to ask and to inform the caller. When it is clearly a potential life-threatening situation requesting an ambulance, send out the ambulance. If it is mandatory to first call RCMP for them to vet all 911 calls in every case to ascertain safety for responder risks or domestic dispute concerns, by all means train RCMP officers in 911 call duties and have them present in the same office and take calls.

In my case, I should have been coached by the 911 responder on how to best attend to my friend and told that they were dispatching ambulance and calling the RCMP, not told to hang on in silence. I understand the concerns of emergency responder safety regard-ing potential personal risks at every call; however, life-threatening emergen-cies are purely time-related. In order to save lives, training is imperative and very important for everyone. Evaluate and assess all calls, learn from them and implement new guidelines as required.

I hope that if anyone in Creston requires emergency response they

experience a better experience than I received this time, and I hope it is bet-ter next time if I do request some for my injured neighbour or myself.

Special thanks to all hospital emer-gency first responders and admitting staff for their speedy demonstration of professionalism and caring attitude. Please continue on showing their very positive personal culture.

To the Editor:Thanks to the Columbia Basin

Alliance for Literacy, I am taking a writing course. During her opening remarks, our instructor informed us that we are not to interrupt or give our own opinions during the sharing of our stories. I value this very much.

Last year at a luncheon, I discov-ered during a conversation with the man sitting across the table from me that we were born in the same hospi-tal in Russell, Man. Our families lived in the same area. I was relating this little episode to a couple in the coffee shop. Had barely finished when the man said, “I have one better than that.” Well, no!

My story is my story. We all have our own personal journey with our own feelings and emotions. And that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

To the Editor:It appears the Creston Valley

Wildlife Management Authority (CVWMA) has enacted its final act of “civil disobedience” against the Canadian public and those from beyond Canada’s borders that require vehicle transportation to visit and enjoy the discovery of Duck Lake during the spring migration of waterfowl taking a rest in their trip to their nesting grounds in Northern Canada. They have accomplished this by placing a locked steel gate blocking access. All this after the Canadian taxpayers gen-erously provided over $60,000 to fix the road, which had been historically neglected for over 50 years.

Of course, if you ask why they will reply they have the power to commit such acts of disobedience because they have the “mandate” to protect the area. Funny thing: The area was created 50-plus years ago and can anyone show me where any damage was created other than the damage to the road through neglect of maintenance?

What is equally distressing is all this was done under the eyes of our beauti-ful provincial MLA who professes to do so much for the people of our prov-ince. Maybe invalid people, like those in the senior lodges, or those who still have their own transportation who enjoyed the trips to Duck Lake as they had in past are not of significant impor-tance. Really, there are probably only a couple hundred of them. One of them now is me.

Also distressing is that the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce is sitting back and doing nothing about support-ing the area’s commercial visitor busi-nesses such as hotels, motels and res-taurants to promote good visitor access to an attraction like Duck Lake. It is well advertised in their promotional material, but then again maybe they don’t even know where it is.

Maybe our local paper should do a little historical coverage. Remember, though, it’s a two-mile walk to a viewing point and back if the gate is not open.

To the Editor:(Re: “Burmese family finding refuge in

Creston”, Feb. 19 Advance)Who does this refugee committee

with its nincompoop ideas think it is, playing God and bringing foreign fami-lies into our low-economy environment to take jobs away from the locals?

The economy is bad enough here with so many stores closing. Take a close look around you and pay atten-tion to the fast food outlets, the realtors and the local store clerks. The majority of them are in their 70s. And why? They are still working because they can’t afford to retire.

There are multiple young people on social assistance stuck here because they can’t afford to move. When a menial job does come up, the Creston Refugee Committee and the Harper government, who can’t see past their own noses, arrange for an outsider to move into our area and compete for the job at the expense of we taxpayers. And on free medical!

This is only the beginning. Harper is bringing in 10,000 Syrian refugees to Canada. Within a few short years, we Canadians will be in the same predica-ment that the refugees came from, namely, a country full of people who do not have the will to take up the fight to destroy the homegrown enemy within or a foreign attack.

We lost millions of our young mili-tary personnel, who died for our coun-try and for us, in the two world wars. Now, it’s only thought of for one day, on Nov. 11. I say, give the refugees a rifle and send them back — and send the Creston Refugee Committee and Harper back with them.

Some do not believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus. They believe that He came from the tomb as a spirit, materializing a body that ascended to heaven. Is this true? We need to let the Bible be our only guide in this matter.

In John 2:19, Jesus said, “Destroy this temple and I will raise it up in three days.” He was speaking of the temple of His body and predicted that He would raise up His physical body.

After the resurrection, Jesus stood in their midst and said, “ Peace be unto you.” (Luke 24:36) The disciples were terrified and supposed they had seen a spirit. “He said unto them, ‘Why are you troubled? ... Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a

spirit does not have flesh and bones as ye see I have.’ ” (Luke 24:38, 39)

The disciples had erred in thinking that Jesus was a spirit but He corrected them.

Jesus validated His prophe-cy by raising His body. But if

He was a spirit, then He would be lying to them in Luke 24:39. And if He didn’t raise His body, then His proph-ecy from John 2:21 would have failed. The Bible teaches Jesus was bodily res-urrected.

T h o m a s declared that

unless he could put his finger in the print of the nails and in his side, he would not believe. “One week later, the doors being locked, Jesus came into their midst, saying unto Thomas, ‘Reach hither thy finger into my hands and my side.’ Thomas declared, ‘My Lord and my God (my Adonai and my Jehovah) and Thomas believed.’ ”

At Pentecost, Peter spoke to the Jews quoting Psalms 16:8-11 speaking of Jesus. Acts 2:25-27 states of the Holy One of God

that His flesh would rest in hope and not see corruption. Although Jesus was dead, his flesh did not decay. His bruised and humili-ated body rested on the Sabbath.

While the disciples watched, Jesus was taken up out of their sight. (Acts 1:9-11) Two angels speaking to them said, “This same (physical) Jesus will so come in like manner as you have seen Him go.”

“For Christ is entered … into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.” (Hebrews 9:24)”He hath conse-crated a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say His flesh. Jesus our High Priest, we can approach Him boldly in the holiest by His shed blood.” (Hebrews 10:19, 20)

“There is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man, Christ Jesus.” (1Timothy 2:5)

“For in Him dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead bodi-ly.” (Colossians 2:9) Whatever the divine quality of Jehovah is, it dwells in Christ’s body.

Resurrection always, and only, refers to a bodily resurrec-tion. A spirit does not need a resurrection. There is no such thing as a resurrected spirit.

“Beloved, now are we the

So I’m at the counter again. The phone is starting to ring steadily. Year 15 begins. Farmers’ markets and growing your own food are still pretty popular these days. I love them both. Grocery store chains have “their” farmers’ photos on their produce. Advertising gurus call them their promotional heroes.

Also popular: telling your own story. Funny thing is that I’m not quite ready to write that column yet. At the start of my time in the nursery here, I’d already had 15 years of getting my hands dirty. However, I’ve learned a lot more since. This farm has a lot of really neat mature trees and shrubs. This lets one see what all the smaller plants in the nursery really become. I’ve learned how to grow better trees, shrubs and perennials.

Annuals out of the greenhouse have always been a strength of mine. A lot of hours go into their produc-tion every spring. We still grow about 75,000 seedlings every year, with thousands more annuals from rooted cuttings. Small perennial plants are potted up into larger sizes. Smaller trees are shifted into larger more appropriate sized pots. All this makes for a lot of activity behind the scenes. What you see in the store is the quiet end of the production.

When we started off, the Canadian dollar was roughly $0.65 US. A lot of B.C.’s nursery produce was exported to the U.S. wholesale. The dollar climbed higher and the B.C. exports really tapered off. Then we had the economic crash of 2008. There was a lot of nursery stock in production to supply the booming real estate mar-ket. This caused some difficulties as

demand tapered off again. A few years later, the surpluses had been worked through the system and sup-ply and demand balanced out once more. Shipping prices climbed, some with the price of diesel fuel and wages, but the last few years have seen a predictable and consistent business throughout the province.

There is now a bit more of a demand for fruit tree stock as farm-ers are eligible to take advantage of an orchard replant grant. This will make getting the right variety of fruit trees a little harder. Interestingly, fruit trees are shipped bare-root (without pots) while dor-mant. I like to sell them that way early in spring but if need be we pot them up, too. To do this, we make a compost mix from rotted bark. Premixed potting soil would work fine for a few trees, but this is not suitable for a commercial nursery.

The mix is something like two cubic yards of rotted softwood bark, a bale of peat moss, a couple pounds limestone and some of gypsum. The limestone and gypsum help to raise and balance the pH of the mix. We add phosphorus. When you plant in the garden you use bone meal for this, as it is slow-release and organic, too. It won’t burn your plants’ roots. We also add micronutrients as the bark won’t have any. Soil and compost do, so you will almost never have to do this at home. Lastly, to round it all off, we add some slow-release fertilizers to help feed the trees and shrubs. Water helps set them in place and time and nature take care of the rest.

Yes, I think spring is a little ahead of usual this year. I didn’t have to unload any trucks in the snow. Turning the water on in the nursery bathroom this year was easy enough. Most years, I have to clear snow away from the hole in the ground and reach through at least a foot of ice water to turn on the valve. We are off to a good start!

Allium, butterfl y bush, comfrey, foxglove and globe artichoke are just a few of the less common fl owers that are wildly attractive to bees.2. Don’t buy plants contaminated with neonicotinoidsResearch has shown that up to 50% of ornamental plants sold in Canada are contaminated with bee-killing neonics. If a retailer cannnot guarantee that the plants you buy have not been treated with neonics, don’t buy the plants.3.Take actionPlease take a moment to write to Canada’s Prime Minister and ask him to protect Canada’s bees and wild pollinators by enacting a complete nation-wide ban on bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides.

It was eight days into the month of March that a small group of we hikers decided to take to the old pack trail on lower Mount Thompson. Going was good on the lower part of the trail, but to get to the trail along the Mount Thompson Forest Service Road was quite a chore. Most of us didn’t

expect the road to be icy, but above kilometre 1 we had to leave the vehicles and pick our way along the road, avoiding the ice as much as pos-sible until we reached the trail head just below kilometre 2. At start, the trail was easy going with no snow or ice on it. There was no snow through the woods.

We reached the point where the trail connects with the easterly end of the Rotary Connector Trail that joins with the Mount Thompson FSR on the other end just below kilometre 4. Soon after we passed that junction we ran into patches of packed snow on the trail. That wasn’t so hard but then we started encountering more and more ice on the trail until it got so hazardous we retraced our steps to the connector trail. We had only one pair of ice cleats amongst six people.

Losing our footing on the icy trail was one thing, but the steep, frozen ground above the trail didn’t allow an alternative route and trees lodged on the steep lower slope didn’t look too forgiving if one should slide into them. One thing that the snowpacked and icy portions of the trail indicated was that the trail had been used from time to time during the winter by hik-ers and snowshoers. Winter hiking this winter, with minimal snow cover on many of the local valley trails and forest roads, was fairly easy, except, of course, for icy conditions.

Hiking on the upper part of the pack trail was, perhaps, like normal early March condi-tions; however, once we got out on the Rotary Connector Trail, heading around its south facing slope, warmed by the sun, it seemed like a day in April. From one trail to the other we went from early March to late April. (Some have thought that we have been having April weather in March).

We were not the only ones coming out with the warm sunshine, for several ticks had picked up free rides on us. A couple of last summer’s dead, previously engorged ticks, were found. The life of these ends when the tick larvae are released from the body of the adult.

To return, we hiked down the mainly ice free FSR to the vehicles. Although we were not able to do the full 3.2-kilometre pack trail up to kilo-metre 5.5 on the FSR, to do the connector trail was a good choice. On that route, we met over a half-dozen hikers going the opposite direction. By the first part of April most of the ice is expect-ed to be gone from the pack trail. However, ice may form in wet areas if overnight temperatures drop below freezing. When this happens it would be a better choice to hike later in the day, wear ice cleats or walk on the side of the trail. This happens a lot this time of year on the Balancing Rock Trail.

I expect the Balancing Rock Trail and the con-necting Creston Mountain Trail beyond the swamp and boardwalk, at least to the Holly Falls Trail, will be good hiking by the time you read this, unless freezing and snowy conditions pre-vail. Once the snow and ice is gone from the pack trail, it becomes a fairly dry trail. However, the Balancing Rock Trail stays quite wet long after the snow disappears because the trail is quite rutted, and seepage from several areas of the hillside produces little streams in the trail. Hikers need to be aware that they may get wet

feet unless they wear water-proof footwear or keep to the side of the trail. When think-ing about hiking at any time of year, one needs to be in tune with and prepared for what weather and trail con-ditions prevail. It may be warm on Creston and, say, Lister benchlands, but much cooler and wetter in the for-est and more so at higher elevations.

Some hikers who hiked up to Holly Falls on the Creston Mountain Trail (beyond the swamp) a cou-ple of weeks ago said the trail was clear of ice and snow. But Holly Falls itself was draped in a tall, spec-tacular curtain of ice with the only evidence of water being the gurgling and splashing audible from behind the veil of ice. The Creston Mountain Trail is usually quite wet as it approaches and crosses the

brook that comes down from Holly Falls and stays that way until the flow of the falls is much reduced, usually in late May or early June. If there’s a lot of precipitation, then the falls dries up much later.

The upper reaches of the Creston Mountain Trail, above the Holly Falls Trail junction, the Lady Slipper Trail and the Sullivan Creek Trail will likely be clear of snow patches and ice some-time during the month of April. (For more trail details see “A look at the trails on Mount Thompson” in the Oct. 23 Advance.)

Great hiking and walking as you become acquainted with local trails in the Creston Valley!

TRAILS FOR CRESTON VALLEY For last month’s cleanup project at the former

West Creston ferry landing site, an ambitious and eager crew of volunteers showed up ready to get their hands dirty, and that is exactly what they did.

Over 200 kilograms of garbage was pulled out of the brush, cleaned up and hauled to the land-fill. There is nothing glamorous about cleaning up someone else’s trash, and the Trails for Creston Valley Society hopes that the communi-ty will see the hard work that has gone into the beautification of this site to ensure that it remains a place for humans and nature to enjoy together.

“It has been inspiring to see people step for-ward to advocate for the bird habitat in our val-ley,” said president Mary Jayne Blackmore. “We want to share our enthusiasm and concern for conservation, as well.”

The only tree that was felled was a green cot-tonwood that was hanging over the edge of the riverbank with its top caught in the branches of its neighbours. No nests or cavities were present

in the tree. The brush removed was a narrow strip to the south of the burn pile/“garbage dump” to open up a view of the river.

The society has no intention of disturbing the remainder of the thickets at the ferry landing site, along with the many kilometres of similar adjacent habitat along the dike there.

“It is our hope that we will soon be able to install picnic tables at this spot, where people can appreciate the beauty of the place for day use,” said Blackmore. “As the site becomes cleaner and better cared for, we hope others will stop using it as a trash pile.”

Regional District of Central Kootenay Area C would like any information on people dumping garbage at this site, as there is a $2,000 fine for such behaviour. The tipping fees at the Creston landfill are significantly less.

“We feel for the long-term wellness of this area and to maintain public access to our water-ways, it is vital to build a culture of stewardship and pride in our community for our green spac-es,” said Blackmore.

(NC) No home comes maintenance free. Even a brand new house requires regular upkeep to ensure its internal environment stays healthy. Here are some tips to ensure it remains in good shape:• Clear eavestroughs of debris regularly and extend downspouts so that water is directed away from your home. Water that fl ows around the foundation could eventually fi nd its way into the basement.• Have your roof inspected regularly to ensure shingles, fl ashing and chimney caps are in place and sealed properly.• Fix the caulking around windows and doors and on the roof if it becomes cracked or separated.• Clean or replace your furnace fi lter.• Check air ducts, remove covers and vacuum dust from vents.• Investigate and identify any musty smells and odours. They are often an indicator that there is a hidden moisture problem.• In the winter, shut off the exterior water supply and drain water lines.• Install a winter cover for the air conditioning unit.• Check roofi ng and fl ashing for signs of wear or damage.• Check/clean the heat recovery ventilator (HRV); wash or replace the fi lter.• Clean the mechanisms of the humidifi ers.• Check for condensation and proper humidity levels.By following an annual maintenance routine, you can keep your new home in top shape. Ongoing maintenance helps to ensure that your home stays healthy.www.newscanada.com

Green is the new black: How to grow an eco-friendly garden(NC) Green is the new black as we become aware of the power of green gardening. So no matter whether you’re a landscape architect looking to support a recurring client , a condo dweller content with a couple of potted herbs, or a home owner looking to do your part for the environment, a little guidance from the world’s largest producer of outdoor power products will have you on trend in no time. Take a look at these tips from Husqvarna:• Compost: Improve soil fertility by using kitchen food scraps. You don’t need to throw away perfectly good plant food. Known as ‘gar-dener’s gold’, compost is an inexpensive way to give your soil high-powered nutrients.• Harvest rainwater: Adding a rain barrel is an easy way to capture water for watering lawns, yards and gardens. Be

sure to put a screen on top of your barrel to keep out un-wanted debris and creatures.• Updating tools: Is it time to trade in your lawn mower for a newer version? Newer lawn mowers are more fuel effi cient and produce less harmful emissions. Also, you may want to consider a lightweight trim-mer that is compatible with multiple attachments so you can work more effi ciently.• Bee friendly: Provide a pesticide-free sanctuary for butterfl ies and bees by grow-ing a diverse variety of fl ow-ers. Flower such as wild lilac, goldenrod and lemon balm are particularly inviting to our fl ying friends.• Give some breathing room: Soil loosening makes it possible for oxygen to reach the roots of the plants and also creates a better-looking fl owerbed. In smaller beds you

can get by with hand tools, but if you’re working with larger areas, a rotary cultivator is the way to go.• One man’s mulch is anoth-er man’s fertilizer: Leave the clippings on your lawn. Not only do you eliminate the time to bag and dump the mulch, but the clippings fertilize the soil and lawn.More lawn tips and informa-tion about tool options for green gardening can be found online at www.husqvarna.ca.www.newscanada.com

SUBMITTED

The Prince Charles Secondary School Bulldogs never missed a tournament final from start to finish of a successful 2014-15 senior boys’ basketball season.

Six events, six champion-ship game appearances — and six runner-up finishes, includ-ing the East Kootenay zone finals Feb. 27 and 28 in Kimberley.

Heavily favoured Golden, the defending champion, sur-vived a determined second-

quarter push-back from the Bulldogs to run away with a 132-66 victory and advance to the provincials for the second year in a row.

Donovan Osterreicher and Jamond Dortman paced PCSS with 15 points apiece. Leo Evans added 14 and Jordan Czar eight.

The Bulldogs were full value for their sixth set of sil-ver medals, however, having posted a solid semifinal vic-tory the day before against the host Selkirk Storm in what might have been their most

complete game of the year. Osterreicher netted 26 points and Evans 14.

Two weeks before that, they reached the final of a tourna-ment in Fernie, bowing to the host team in the final after post-ing two earlier victories, includ-ing a 73-68 overtime thriller against Kimberley.

Previously, PCSS reached the championship game of their own tournament, as well as three others in Kimberley, Invermere and Nelson, going 2-1 in each for an overall tour-nament record of 12-6.

EAST KOOTENAY AVALANCHE

The East Kootenay Avalanche finished fifth in its first tournament of the club volleyball season in Kelowna.

Playing in the 13-team, 15-and-under boys’ division of the Okanagan Super Volley event, the Creston-based Avalanche won four of six matches, losing only to the eventual finalists.

E.K. finished second in its five-team preliminary round-robin group, posting victories of 25-21, 26-24 over the Vancouver/Surrey Eagles (who placed third at the tier 3 nationals in 2014), 25-10, 22-25, 15-9 over Kelowna Kahuna and 25-18, 25-18 over Air Attack Black of Richmond.

The local team’s only defeat on opening day, on

the campus of UBC Okanagan, was 25-10, 25-18 to Focus Blur, the No. 1 club team in the province last sea-son which trains out of Coquitlam but represents the entire Lower Mainland, drawing members from North Vancouver to Cloverdale and points in between.

Those results set up a sec-ond-day meeting at George Elliott Secondary School with the Prince George Kodiaks, who had gone 3-0 in their first-round pool. The northerners had to rally from a set down to subdue the Avalanche in three sets, 23-25, 25-17, 15-6.

E.K. swept Apex Black of Vancouver 25-22, 25-20 in a close match for fifth place.

The Kodiaks advanced to the championship match

where they fell to Focus Blur 25-13, 25-7.

Members of the Avalanche, a branch of the Cranbrook-based East Kootenay Volleyball Club, included three Creston players — Davis Nelson, Marcus Bell and Mark Armstrong — plus coaches Mike Nelson and Niall Cobbe.

Dylan Bohmer, Parker Thomson and Quinn Grist hail from Cranbrook while Andrew Craig, Ben Gilmet and Talon Vale are from Fernie.

The Avalanche has three more competitions on its 2015 schedule, including a home tournament April 3-5 in Cranbrook. The team plays in Calgary twice in May, first for the Alberta provincials and finally for the national club championships.

TO LEARNWHAT’S

ON SALE?Community Newspapers

We’re at the heart of

things™Though the “Emergency Scam” (or sometimes referred to as the “Grandparent Scam”) has been around for years, the RCMP-led Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre warns the public to be on alert after noting a marked increase in the number of complaints.Ffraudsters contact potential victims while posing as a family member or friend in urgent need of cash. Often the scenario involves an accident or arrest while travelling abroad, with a request that cash be sent through a money transfer company, such as Western Union or Money Gram.In the typical scenario, a grandparent receives a phone call from a con-artist claiming to be one of their grandchildren. The caller goes on to say that they are in some kind of trouble, usually a car accident, returning from a foreign country, or even bail money and need money immediately.Victims don't verify the story until after the money has been sent as the caller specifi cally asks that they do not want other relatives to know what has happened by asking “Can you please help me? I'm in jail (or in the hospital / or in some type of fi nancial need). But don't tell Dad. He would kill me if he found out, please send the money ASAP. I'm scared!"Wanting to help their grandchild, the victim sends money by a money transfer company such as Money Gram or Western Union.Variations on the scam exist such as an old neighbor, a friend of the family etc. but predominantly the Emergency Scam is directed toward the grandparents.

•A vehicle collided with a deer on Highway 3 near Kitchener.

He is a big part of my life and I am so happy I could bring him with me to Crest View Village. This place is great; the staff are friendly; I have met new people and have made great friends, like Nellie, and I love to be able to come and go as I please.”

Neighbours’ dispute one of 56 calls to RCMP

INTERIORHEALTH

AUTHORITY

There is never a good time for a mass evacuation, but if it happens, it’s best to be pre-pared. In a residen-tial care facility, residents are often faced with barriers around mobility. Evacuating resi-dents must be done quickly and safely.

A recent install-ment of 22 Evacusleds at Swan Valley Lodge in Creston now pro-vides residents on the second floor with devices that will ensure a quick and safe exit from the building in the event of an emergency.

“Before receiv-ing the Evacusleds, we were given instruction on how to evacuate resi-dents using the ‘get me out of here’ model, which uses techniques such as: evacuation with a wheelchair, trans-fers from bed to wheelchair or floor, moving along the floor, moving down stairs, and universal chair lift,” said nurse Benjamin Bellows. “With these new devices, one staff member can safely evacuate one resident in only a few minutes.”

Bellows attended an Evacusled demonstration in Kelowna two years ago and has since trained about 20 other staff. He says training is fun, quick, and easy to remember. In 30 minutes, two staff can be trained to deploy the device — a much more efficient system than “get me out of here”, which takes nearly a full day of instruction.

Evacusleds are installed at sites around the Interior Health Authority and ensure the safety of patients in the event of an emergency.
