Totem poleadds to

First Nationspresence at ARES

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

More than 100 people gath-ered at Adam Robertson Elementary School last Thursday evening to witness a first for the Creston Valley.

A totem pole, the culmination of a project that began with a grant application to build a small park on the school grounds four years ago, was erected. It was carved under the supervision of local carver Michael Price, with help from numerous students, notably Kaydon Booth.

ARES principal Rod Giles credited former parent advisory council member Deryn Collier and teacher Judy Gadicke for “planting the seed and obtaining the funding for an indigenous garden.”

Sixth grade student Kaydon Booth was given credit for origi-nating the totem pole idea.

“After Mr Smith (teaching assistant Gary Smith) put the native garden in, I was looking at a totem pole book and thought a totem pole would look good in the garden. So I asked Mr Smith, Josie Fullarton and Mr Giles if I could carve one. Josie said a native carver was coming to the school and

she would ask him if he would guide us in carving a totem pole. That’s how it all started last spring.

“Michael asked me what ani-mals I want-ed to carve. I chose these a n i m a l s because I like the look of them, I think they are pretty cool. The eagle flies in the air, the wolf lives on land, the beaver lives in creeks and lakes and the sea seal lives in the ocean that is deeper than lakes.

What I learned is how to carve these animals and to see how old a tree is. This tree is 100 years old. I learned that I could only work on the totem pole after I

got my school work done or only work on the pole when I’m into it. I also learned about respect and to practice patience because I thought it would only take 2 or 3 months to carve it.

I would like to thank Michael because he showed us how to

carve the totem pole. To thank Josie for inviting Michael to our school. To Mr Giles for letting this happen and thank Mr Smith for letting us use his workshop. I would also like to thank my family and friends for coming and celebrating

with me. On hand to provide bless-

ings for the ceremony, Lower Kootenay Band chief Jason Louie observed that “20 years ago something like this wouldn’t have even been talk-ed about.”

In what promises to be an epic battle, the PCSS Senior Girls Bulldogs take on the Creston Valley Thundercats in a fund-raising volleyball game on October 22, 7:30 p.m..

RCMP Staff Sergeant Bob Gollan is in a real conflict of interest in this one. He coaches the girls’ volleyball team and he is the president of the Thunder Cats board of directors. Gollan says the game should be a good test for teams on neach side of the net.

“Also, we will be hosting a community barbeque prior to the game, at 6 p.m.” he says. Hotdogs and hamburgers, sort of like a tailgate party prior to the game.” I would certainly ask for some volunteers to help out with the bar-beque, if you can help please just send

The barbecue is to

thank the community “for all of the support they have been giving our RCMP detachment over the past year, and especially the past cou-ple of weeks. As well it is hoped that we will draw in more fans for this fund-raising event for these community sports teams.”

Tickets to the game are only $3.

Oh, and by the way, Thunder Cats, the PCSS girls are guaran-teeing a win in their determination to earn the bragging rights as the top athletic team in the Creston Valley!

The Kokanee Country Snowmobile Club (KCSC) will be officially kicking off its season this weekend with their annual tail-gate sale.

The sale will be held in the Creston & District Community Complex parking lot on Saturday, October 20 from 11am – 4pm. The event is a chance for local snow-mobile enthusiasts to get together to buy and sell snowmobile parts, gear, and clothing. Admission is free for members, or $10 for non-members to come and sell their old gear. There is no charge for

anyone that would like to attend.

M a i n j e t Motorsports and Playmore Power will also be there to show-case the new 2013 snowmobiles and gear. They will also have a large stock of previous years’ gear at hugely discounted prices. It is a great chance to get out and check out the new machines, and get stocked up on supplies for the year.

Another aim of the event is to start selling memberships. The club has decided to give an early-bird discount to those purchasing their memberships at the tailgate sale.

So if you would like to get out and buy parts, sell parts, check out the new sleds, grab your membership for the year, get a great deal on some new gear, or just talk about sleds, come on out!

Sunday, September 30, was a long awaited day for ethnic and history buffs across Canada, as the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada officiated a special unveiling at the Doukhobor Discovery Centre in Castlegar.

Larry Ewashen was a featured speaker as two HSMBC plaques were officially unveiled:

Peter V. Verigin was declared a Person of National Historic Significance, and the migra-tion of the Doukhobors from Saskatchewan to British Columbia, an event of National Historic Significance.

The day marked the culmination of ten years work for Mr. Ewashen who began the nomina-tion and declaration process when he was the Curator of the museum. Throughout this time, he enlisted the aid of many prominent Canadians such as J. J. Verigin Sr. Order of Canada, Alex Atamanenko, Member of Parliament and Senator Pat Carney to add their recommendations to this cause.

The platform party also included local resi-dent Alex Wishlow, President of the Canadian Doukhobor Society, who spoke about Peter Verigin.

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) and Black Press second annu-al Reach-A-Reader literacy awareness and fundraising campaigns held throughout the region were a ‘runaway success’ say organizers.

Volunteers throughout the Columbia Basin and Boundary region, from young hockey players to long-time literacy supporters, to Black Press and CBAL staff, worked together to raise funds for their local community litera-cy programs, trading news-papers for donations.

“Our second Reach-A-Reader fundraiser was a tre-mendous success,” said Creston Valley Publisher Lorne Eckersley. “Special thanks go to RDCK Area C director Larry Binks who vol-untarily stepped forward to commit a $500 grant-in-aid. When Area B director John Kettle readily agreed to match that amount, we know we were off and running.”

Creston CBAL co-ordina-tor Linda Steward said she was thrilled with the gener-osity of donors and the com-mitment of volunteers who donated their time (and, often, money) to the cause.

In Creston, volunteers included: Mayor Ron Toyota; Couns. Wesly Graham, Scott Veitch and Joanna Wilson; Binks and Kettle; Hugh Grant and Eileen Delman of Kootenay Employment Services; CBAL volunteers; CBAL 2012 Community Literacy Award winner Ann Day and a half dozen mem-bers of the Creston Valley Thunder Cats.

“This was my first Reach-A-Reader event as the Greater Trail Area Literacy Coordinator, and I am so amazed at the community involvement from Fruitvale, to Trail, to Rossland,” said Tiffaney Thompson.

“CBAL is such a great community resource,” said Katie Albright, Rossland’s new Library Director – a first-time volunteer. “As a librari-an, I am very appreciative of how their programs for adults and children foster lit-eracy in Rossland. Today’s fundraiser will enable their crucial programs to grow and flourish.”

We were amazed at the run-away success of our sec-ond annual Reach-A-Reader event,” said Ali Wassing, CBAL Executive Director. “CBAL delivers over 230 pro-grams to over 7,000 learners in the 77 communities we serve. Funds from this event play a key role in building on this commitment. The sup-port of Black Press is invalu-able – and we are grateful.”

By learning together, we will grow stronger together.

How CBAL didaround theKootenays

Leah Wilkie, Elk Valley Community Literacy

Coordinator “In total, we made around

$1100 dollars - enough to run our Hosmer Family Literacy Program. TD Canada Trust donated $500. I really appre-ciated working with the Free Press. They have been very supportive, and have given us tons of publicity, beyond the Reach a Reader cam-paign. I have seen an increase in attendance at things like Adult Tutor Training as a result of this partnership.”

Tracy Spannier, Revelstoke Community Literacy

Coordinator“We are deeply touched

by the efforts of our volun-teers and the generosity of the citizen of Revelstoke to support community literacy programs.”

Joan Exley, Nelson Community Literacy

Coordinator “Our volunteers were

amazing, raising just over $1800 in four hours. “We had folks from Rotary, the police, the RCMP, firefighters, city council and the Mayor, the Nelson Star and the library. It was wonderful to hear our volunteers telling people about literacy programs they can access and then to have people put their names for-ward as volunteers.”

Katherine Hough, Cranbrook Community

Literacy Coordinator “We had a fun day in

Cranbrook. While we were missing some of our star vol-unteers from last year new volunteers came on board including members of the Kootenay Ice and learners from our community pro-grams. Councillor Denise Palleson was this year’s star raising over $500.”

Sheila Dobie, Grand Forks and Boundary Community

Literacy Coordinator“Reach-A-Reader in

Grand Forks was a fabulous success with our Border Bruins team and City Councillors all participating to raise awareness about lit-eracy in our region.

We raised over $700 that will be put towards impor-tant family and adult literacy programs.”

Alana Murdoch, Castlegar Community Literacy

Coordinator“Our 2nd Annual event

was very successful. We raised $939.82 thanks to gra-cious donations from com-munity members. This would not have been possible without the support of our volunteers and the Castlegar News”.

From top: CBAL volunteers Zach Straza, Joey Berget and Ty Kronewitt of the Creston Valley Thunder Cats; Mayor Ron Toyota and Couns. Wesly Graham and Scott Veitch; and RDCK Area C director Larry Binks and Area B director John Kettle.

Famed Australian performer David Scheel will be at the Snoring Sasquatch this weekend for two per-formances.

Scheel is a true Australian success story, so much so that he is regarded interna-tionally as one of the finest solo musical

comedy performers in the world.

Born in Adelaide, Scheel first tasted suc-cess in England, star-ring in the famous satirical News Revue in London's West End.

He then turned to devising solo shows, and the result was Don’t Shoot Me, I’m

Only the Piano Player. An instant hit, sell-out London performances were followed by three consecutive Edinburgh Festivals, and the criti-cal acclaim that goes with them. Not sur-prisingly, Scheel soon found himself a regu-lar on British TV and radio, in addition to touring widely to over 30 countries, and per-forming with the likes of Cleo Laine, Eartha Kitt, Ben Elton, Jay Leno (in Los Angeles), Norman Wisdom and Patricia ("Hyacinth Bucket") Routledge.

In Scheel’s concerts you can expect to hear anything from a well-known folk tune played in the styles of

various famous com-posers plus an IPod mini (!), two different pieces played with dif-ferent hands at the same time, and a med-ley of the 20 worst tunes ever written. His raconteur-style send-ups of the ridiculous include true stories of bad pianos he's had to play, sharp-edged commentary on the celeb lives of Brittney Spears, Paris Hilton & Co., and equally topi-cal digs at politicians, or whoever and what-ever is making the news.

Scheel performs at the Snoring Sasquatch on Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

New chief takes the helm at public libraryBY LORNE ECKERSLEY

Advance staffAaron Francis, new

chief librarian at Creston & District Public Library, compares his new profes-sion to his former work as a school teacher.

“You can never really stop preparing and plan-ning,” he said last week.

After teaching at a pri-vate post-secondary insti-tution, Francis considered going into public school teaching, then opted to return to university to pur-sue a master’s degree in

library science.“Libraries are some-

thing I really believe in,” he said. “Libraries are among the few places in Canada where it doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor. Everyone gets the same level of service.”

Francis worked at the Vancouver Public Library before coming to Creston. There, he ran community library services, connecting with homeless shelters and social service agencies to establish partnerships.

He admits libraries are

being forced to change with the times.

“The traditional library was a storehouse of books,” he said. “Now they are facilitators of knowledge. They provide access to ebooks and audio books and have become commu-nity spaces that invite groups and organizations to share their buildings.”

He sees libraries as plac-es that help facilitate access to knowledge, becoming less about book collections and more about helping people find the informa-

tion they are look-ing for.

Francis grew up in the BC

Interior and is excit-ed to return to a small community with his wife and child. With an inter-est in ethnic music—he spent a couple of years teaching in Korea and learning traditional musical forms there—he is sure to find opportu-nities to reinvigorate his fascination local-ly.

Among his early focuses at the library, Francis said he has been going through the book collection, pulling out books that haven’t been loaned in more than a year, preparing

space to add new volumes to the shelves. And he’s committed to building on the computer technology side of patron services.

“We don’t just provide people with computer access,” he said. “We have programs to help people learn to use them more effectively.”

Seniors and parents of young children are among his particular interests, he said.

To learn more about Creston & District Public Library services, go to cres-tonlibrary.com or follow it on Facebook. Or, you can continue with the tradi-tional practice of visiting the library on 16th Avenue South.

RCMP experience a quieter week with 64 calls

In light of the comments generat-ed by the story I wrote on last week’s front page, I think readers deserve to know about the thought process-es I went through before using a quotation containing vulgarities. Rest assured, this column does not contain such graphic language.

In 1980 it was a regular practice on Monday and Thursday after-noons for Advance staff to repair to the Legion after the newspaper was ready for press. We’d have a beer and discuss any number of topics and eventually some-one would arrive with a hot-off-the-press copy of our semi-weekly paper. On one of those Thursdays, the owner-publisher was look-ing through the pages when he came across a book review (written by a local bookstore owner) in our 12-page TV guide and enter-tainment section, which I was responsible for producing. The review included a photo of the book cover. The book, written by retired Canadian military officer Richard Rohmer, was about, I think, the oil industry. It was called Balls!

My boss, seething in anger, ran back to the Advance, ordered all copies of that section be put into the dumpster, found something to replace the offending review and photo and ordered the section to be reprinted. Surprisingly, he didn’t chastise my judgment in using a review of a book whose title he thought readers would find offen-sive. He simply took it upon himself to censor the issue. I thought the decision was childish and disre-spectful of our readers. We agreed to disagree on that subject and moved on. He eventually left the newspa-per business and I have remained in it, in one capacity or another, for more than three decades.

Now, to the offending article. On a Wednesday morning, after our own newspaper had already been printed, and prior to its Thursday release, I heard reports of a police shooting of a crime suspect, and of a related car-jacking. Initial reports had the shooting taking place in

Yahk. I read through news sites on the Internet and listened to CBC Radio. On Facebook, I was surprised to see a post by Alan Armstrong that he was the car-jacking victim and had spent the night in the hospital. Because the story was too late for our print edition, I decided to wait until later in the morning to call him. A few minutes later Armstrong called me.

I had known Alan Armstrong since the first week I arrived in the

Creston Valley in June of 1979. One of my duties was to report on sports and Armstrong, learning that my wife was still in Calgary with our only vehicle, arranged to drive me, or have someone else do so, to Rek City fastball games in Canyon Park. In the 33 years since, I have come to know him as a thoughtful, caring person, of the sort that one can always call in a time of need. I could easily picture him pulling over his vehicle on Highway 3 near Goatfell in response to what he thought was a couple in need.

Armstrong relayed his experience to me as I took notes as quickly as I could. At the end of our conversa-tion my heart was pounding at the thought of a friend having his life threatened by an apparently desper-ate criminal. I immediately set to work writing the story, wanting to give our readers an appreciation for what it must have been like for a man to have been a Good Samaritan in one moment and have his life threatened in the next.

I wrote the story, put it on our web site and sent it to some of our sister papers. Almost immediately, I received a call from an editor say-ing, “Wow, that is an intense story! Good job.”

To be honest, my initial thought was to change the story for our print edition—Internet news tends to be more graphic, I think. Later, as I experimented with rewrites of the story, I found that to paraphrase the threats that Armstrong received while he had what he believed to be a gun pointed at his head drastically changed the sense of terror he had felt at the time. The newspaper style guide we use does not allow for the placement of asterisks to mitigate

the in-your-face use of vul-gar language. And I could not, as one reader suggested, “change the quote.” My only choice was to use the words as I had been told by Armstrong, or omit the quo-tation and paraphrase his description of that moment.

Yes, I did realize that those vulgar words would be offensive to some readers.

They were offensive to Armstrong, too, in the context that they were intended to force his exit from what he describes as “the nicest vehicle I have ever owned” and said almost simultaneously with his being pep-per-sprayed in the face.

I felt that, in the context of the story, the use of graphic language was my best option.

Fortunately, choices of this nature do not present themselves often. I have used such language only one other time in my career (not count-ing the “Balls!” incident, which seems pretty tame today), mainly because I have rarely found such words necessary to tell a story. I love using language and I have a good vocabulary. I can tell a story in a way that doesn’t offend.

Will I make a similar choice in the future? I can’t honestly say—a serious reporter approaches every story with an open mind, not adher-ing to a specific formula. If I face a similar choice in the future, will I take into consideration the response I have received from readers? Of course. As a newspaper publisher, reporter and opinion columnist, I do that every day, knowing that it is unrealistic to think I can please everyone, myself included.

Can we have a word?

Michelle Mungall

To the Editor :The story of the carjack-

ing on the front page of the October 11th issue con-tained language that is totally unfit for any news-paper, let alone a family paper. The verbatim print-ing of the offensive quote is reprehensible and inex-cusable. A number of other persons have expressed their shock, disgust and dis-may that you allowed this transgression of decency.

Babs JonesCreston, BC

To the editor: It is a sad day when the edi-

tor (sic) of a small town newspa-per does not know the differ-ence between “dele” and “stet”.

After reading your lead story on the front page of the Thursday, October 11, 2012 edition, I will not renew my subscripiton again.

There are still some of us out here that object to street language being shoved at us by users of obscenities that only show your ignorance of the English lan-guage.

Maureen LambCreston, BC

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of speaking to grade five and six classes at Erickson Elementary School. Talking to kids at this age is always fascinating.

Their questions are never dull, and their insights are consistently thought-pro-voking.

On this occasion, students were very keen to know what I do. What is a Member of the Legislative Assembly? What is a politician? As they asked their questions, I found myself explaining how I manage my multiple responsibili-ties in the riding, Victoria and through-out the province.

Effective representation requires that I connect regularly with my constitu-ents. Being a rural MLA, however, makes this more difficult than if I was an urban MLA who can walk to every corner of their constituency and com-mute to the Legislature in thirty min-utes.

So over the past three years, I have

explored different ways to stay rooted in Nelson-Creston. My amazing com-munity office staff, Laurie and Curtis, do a great job of helping people access

government services and answer questions every day. They host mobile office hours once a month, pass on your letters and phone mes-sages, coordinate meet-ings and organize events.

A key event each year is the Bend the MLA's Ear tour where I hit the roads

of Nelson-Creston for a few days and host open discussions in smaller com-munities such as Riondel, Kitchener and Canyon. I find that this annual tour has been one of the best ways to engage with residents, and I'd like to thank the community volunteers, like Penny AP Anderson in Yahk, who are essential in making this tour and the discussions possible.

Community forums, social events and meetings are also important mecha-nisms by which I hear from you and receive guidance for my work in Victoria. There, I regularly get answers for issues important to our region. For example, I questioned the Minister for Community Development and Sport for over an hour when she brought in legis-lation that allows for the creation of a

mountain resort municipality without any residents, thus paving the way for Jumbo Glacier Resort. With those answers I was able to work with region-al district directors to initiate a local government motion opposing this anti-democratic legislation. Ultimately, this motion made it to the Union of BC Municipalities where it was passed with strong support.

Along with representing our region, like all MLAs, I have duties for the gov-ernance of British Columbia as a whole. This includes sitting on standing com-mittees and being an active member of the Opposition's shadow cabinet. As the BCNDP's opposition critic for Advanced Education, Youth and Labour Market Development, I frequently tour univer-sity and college campuses in every region of our province, meeting with students, faculty, staff and administra-tion. Through these relationships, I am better able to provide accountability for the ministries responsible for post-sec-ondary education as well as develop policy proposals that ensure students have access to training and education for the job market.

More like a lifestyle than a job, being an MLA is very rewarding. Whether in the House or in class-rooms, I am fortunate to have the role of speaking for such an amazing part of BC and working to strengthen our communities

MLAs must use many approachesto communicate with constituents

Traveling through large area is key

Singing group appreciates support

Readers disgusted by vulgarities

To the editor:The Blossom Valley Singers are grate-

ful for two very civic-minded organiza-tions in the Creston Valley.

First, many thanks to the Creston & District Credit Union for their timely and much appreciated donation, desig-nated to help pay for the risers used in our performances.

Second, thank you to the RDCK Area

C which, thanks to the director, Larry Binks, granted us a donation to be used for riser protectors to ensure choir mem-bers’ safety while standing at the back row.

Our choir is ever-expanding and this fall session we have more than 70 sing-ers enrolled. The Christmas presena-tion, Singing in the Christmas Trees, promises to be better than ever.

So we, the Blossom Valley Singers, wish the people of Creston and district to know that there is a tremendous spirit of teamwork and co-operation alive and well in our beautiful valley, and we gratefully acknowledge the above-mentioned organizations. Way to go, Creston!

Elvin Strand, presidentBlossom Valley Singers

To the Editor: I was shocked and appalled when I read the

front page of the CV Advance, the October 11, 2012 edition. How could your paper have published such foul language!!! It doesn't matter whether it was direct quote or not. You could have gotten the point across another way. Everyone I have talked to about it is equally as shocked and disgusted. I have burnt it so my kids wont stumble across it. You can be sure I will not be supporting this news-paper from now on in any way if this is the level it has stooped to. I am horrified about what hap-pened to Mr. Armstrong and how he was treated and spoken to, but such language should not be printed in a community newspaper.

What do people base their self-esteem on? Abilities, skills, talents, position, achievements, looks, age, education, wealth or lack of any of those?

For example, one can take pride in his position in com-pany, society or history after many years of studying, fight-ing and climbing the ladder. Others might admire, envy or

acknowl-edge it, but what a b o u t him; how does he feel about it and by w h a t means he got there? If his m o t i v e s w e r e right and he got t h e r e t re a t i n g o t h e r s

with dignity, helping society, community, family and friends in the process, then his efforts were not wasted. He stands tall and high. On the other hand, if he employed all the tricks in the book, climbing on backs of others, making all sorts of

shortcuts and compromises, would you want to be in his shoes? Those of us old enough know exactly what I am talking about.

Let's switch for a moment to younger fellows: With all that glamour, carrots dangling in front of your noses, how in the world do you know what you want to achieve, how and if you will be happy at the end? Surely you do not want to squander most of your life on something you will find worthless, fake or empty, do you?

No matter what your scenario is, there are some safe tips: follow your conscience; walk in dignity; have the right attitude; be flexible if goals are way too high; check if your motives are good. If you do things this way, if you can look at your-self in the mirror, if you do no harm to your neigh-bour today, tomorrow or ever after, then you are living your life to the full and at the end you will see it was worth it. Will you make mistakes? Absolutely! Will you learn from them? I hope so.

Some of you might think you have no talents, no special skills, no position, nothing outstanding. Do not let this trouble you. Do not let this put you down. You and I are little ants in this ant hill called the earth and we are already contributing our close to nothing, bits and pieces. Light shines on us the same as it does on presidents or kings, like them we have one pair of eyes and 24 hour days and, like them, time is one of few real values we can take hold of. We can see the same rainbow, listen to the same birds, look at the same stars.

Friends, I can assure you of this: If you, living with good and an honest heart, achieve 'nothing', if you 'fail' in all, if you climb on nobody's back, your conscience will be clear, life pure and foot-print on humanity awesome. I just hope some-body you trust, admire or idolize, somebody high enough, will assure you that what I am writing is true and that he/she will set you on the right path for life.

Previous articles of mine in this Voice of Experience column have dealt with certain aspects of stress and its manage-ment. Some of them may very well be repeated, here and in future columns. This is all to the good, since repetition of important points throughout our lives gradually gets the message across! There have been times when I’m sure there were bruises on my forehead from hitting the same brick wall over and over again, until I finally learned my lesson!

Our body usually tells us, loud and clear, when it’s stressed, and here are some of the most common signs: head-aches, tightness in the neck, loss of appetite, excessive eating, pounding heartbeat, for-getfulness, depression, loss of self-confidence, trouble sleeping, feeling keyed up, feeling preoccupied, anger, hostility and quarreling.

And here are a few sim-ple suggestions you can

work on, right away, to help disable the stress before it dis-ables you:

•Choose a small space, prefer-ably near your telephone, to place all the important things—keys, notes, phone numbers, etc.—saves the stress of looking for them!

•Make lists, including the things you have to do, groceries needed, people you need to see—

the less you rely on your memory, the more relaxed you’ll be.

•Get enough sleep—if you often get caught up watching a late movie, set the

kitchen timer to remind you when bed-time rolls around.

•Make duplicates of your keys—a car key in the house, a house key in your car, or hidden safely outside.

•Be ready for an emergency—can-dles, a flashlight that works.

•Use your calendar—appointments, visitors, holidays. First thing in the morning, strike off yesterday.

•Delegate—you don’t have to do everything yourself.

•Wear earplugs if it’s the only way you can get quietude. And earphones for the person in your home who watches a TV program you can’t stand!

•Organize the day with yourself in mind—remember that you are the most important person in your life (no matter what your spouse has to say!). Value yourself.

•Take breaks. For some reason, now that I’m 80, my limitless fund of energy seems to have become limited! Taking breaks may mean that it takes longer to do something, but I’m not wiped when it’s finished.

There are many more suggestions regarding stress relief, but space here is limited. Take a look at your life and life-style, with an eye to how you might be less stressed by the little things—they often cause more stress than the big ones. Bring as much serenity as you can into your days. Relax and enjoy the life you have.

Celebrating Small Business Week

Need some really good reasons for making the Shift? Try these (our thanks to the people at Local First Chicago for their inspiration on these):1. Keep money in your community — Going

local first keeps almost 70% of your money in the local economy.2. Your community is unique – celebrate it —

Here’s the thing: if you go into a big chain department store, you could just as easily be in Vancouver, Calgary or Toronto. Spend local and you’re embracing your community’s unique identity.3. Get way better service — A local business is

much more concerned about your customer experience, and keeping you happy.4. Better selection for you — Local business

tries harder to meet your particular needs – they don’t rely on a national sales plan.

5. More local ownership and jobs — Study after study shows that local small business is the greatest source of job creation. So why wouldn’t we encourage more local start-ups?6. Help out the environment — This is a

biggie – less transportation, lower energy and fuel costs, less excessive packaging… you get the idea.7. Support community groups — Did you

know non-profits receive an average of 350% more support from local businesses than they do from non-locally owned businesses.8. Better use of community space — We know

big boxes can be highly attractive but… Wouldn’t it be better to have more local businesses that can make use of existing empty space in a heritage building downtown?9. Better public services — More local

businesses mean a stronger tax base, and that pays for better public services for your family.10. These are your friends and neighbours —

And they live, work and are invested in your community – just like you!

Seasonal infl uenza, known commonly as “the fl u”, is a respiratory infection caused by one of many strains of the infl uenza virus. This virus causes outbreaks in Canada during our fl u season which usually occurs between November and March. Health Canada estimates that about 45,000 Canadians experience the fl u annually. The vast majority of these cases resolve completely within 10 days, however up to 10% of those infected (usually elderly patients, and those with compromised immunity) go on to develop secondary infections such as pneumonia.Infl uenza can be contracted when one comes into contact with, or inhales,

the small droplets (aerosols) produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. One may also catch the fl u by direct contact with either an infected person (i.e. handshaking), or a contaminated surface, which may harbour a virus particle for several days. A person with the fl u is contagious on average of 7 days, beginning one day before symptoms are apparent.Most common symptoms of the fl u include fatigue, fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, headache and muscle aches.

Nausea and vomiting are quite uncommon symptoms, but may sometimes be present.

The most effective methods of minimizing your risk of infl uenza infection are frequent hand washing, and immunization. Vaccination is required each year, because the vaccine composition changes annually in order to include the most prevalent strains for the current fl u season. The vaccine should NOT be given to infants under 6 months of age, or to anyone with an allergy to eggs, or a severe allergic reaction to a previous fl u shot.

Treatment of uncomplicated infl uenza includes fever management with medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, and the use of cough suppressants where appropriate. Be sure to consult your pharmacist before using any of these non-prescription medications, to be sure that they can be used safely with your specifi c health concerns and other prescription drugs.

For those that know me, (all 12 of you), you have long since learned that I rely on humour in most settings to communicate. Aside from being naturally quick tongued (too quick on

many, many occasions), I have long since found that a positive, happy attitude is a heck of a lot easier to maintain than a mopey, mis-erable one and it has the added benefit that it tends to be infectious, resulting in a generally more productive day than the opposite. Face it; do you want your last memories to be glar-ing at your neighbor day in and out, com-plaining that their maple trees are dripping sap on your property? Really – that was my neighbor in the big city. I finally cut my tree down so he could refocus his torment some-where else. (Which happened to be my peel-ing fence.)

Mike Kerr, a speaker on inspiring workplaces (mikekerr.com) at many events including Recreation and Parks conferences, notes the fol-lowing:

There's a growing body of research that sug-gests the happier people are, the more creative they tend to be. One study, reported in the book

The Progress Principle by Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer, found that there was a 50% increase in the odds of having a creative idea on days when people were in positive moods.

Perhaps even more surprising, the creative boost lasted at least a day or two!

Studies have also found that creativity is higher when people have a more posi-tive perception of their overall work envi-ronment. When leaders are seen as being collaborative and more open to new ideas, creativity goes up. And when people see new ideas treated as a valued commodity in the workplace, even if the suggestion eventually gets rejected, they are far more likely to contribute new ideas. Conversely,

and not unexpectedly, people are less creative when they view their organization as being risk-adverse, driven by infighting and overly critical of new ideas.

A happier state of mind also helps people broaden their thinking and consider multiple actions they might take when faced with an obstacle or challenge at work. So if ideas are the currency of success, how much more successful would your organization be if it placed a higher value on genuine, sustained happiness in your workplace? Whether you are part of a manage-ment team with a pile of employees or a supervi-sor with one or two direct reports, I guarantee that everyone will thrive more in a relaxed, happy environment with appropriate humour. Is it always going to be sunshine and roses? Of course not, we happen to be human, but you will find that with a bit of effort, the third of our life we spend working can be that much more pleas-ant.

From the Centre

Humour helps happiness

It has been a whirlwind first month on the job for me at Creston Public Library, and I could write ten columns about all that I’ve learned and experienced so far. But, first and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt thanks for the warm and wonderful wel-come that this community has given my family and me. Being a B.C. boy, I always knew that Creston was surrounded by spec-tacular natural beauty, but the warmth and generosity of the people here has exceeded my expectations. I am very honoured and excited to serve as your librarian.

In this and up-coming columns, I would like to share with you some of the news and highlights of what’s happening at the library, and to introduce you to a few of the many new arrivals hitting the shelves.

First, though, I would like to talk about library fines. As you are probably aware, the library charges fines for lost and overdue material and, truth be told, we are partly dependent on this revenue to offer the range of materials and programming that we do. Sometime down the road, I’d like to consult with you about whether or not we should move to a fine-free library. In the meantime, let me say this: the purpose of fines is to encourage folks to return their borrowed items on time and in good condition. But what sometimes happens is that the fines become overwhelming to the extent that they inadvertently bar patrons from coming in to the library at all. As your librarian, I find this to be unacceptable.

We want every single person in this com-munity to feel welcome in the library, and to

make full use of the resources available here. So if you--or someone you know--are avoid-ing the library due to unpaid and unpayable

fines, please come in and talk to me or one of our f r i e n d l y staff. We’ll work it out in a way that is fair to you, fair to us, and fair to

the community. And I guarantee you won’t go home empty-handed!

Now, on to the news (if you follow our Facebook page, this will be old news). Beginning in October, Creston Public Library began offering a week-ly Babytime program for young ones aged 0-18 months and their parents or caregivers. We learn bounces and tickles, lullabies and fingerplays to encourage healthy parent-child interaction and early literacy acquisition. And it is a lot of fun! So bring your son, daugh-ter, niece, nephew, grandchild or childcare group down here every Tuesday at 11:00am.

Every Thursday morning at 10:30, I bring out my guitar and puppets and favourite pic-ture books for Pre-school

Storytime (ages 18 months and above, younger siblings welcome). And on Tuesday afternoons, our teen group, YX Press, meets for popcorn, crafts, book discussions and more. This year, they have been provided with a budget to help update our YA collec-tion, and we can always use more youth expertise. If you’re interested in helping out, come down to the library Tuesday after school.

New books! We have new books coming in by the bushel. I can’t list them all here, so you’ll have to visit us to find out what we have. Needless to say, we are ordering just about every new bestseller out there and,

with the help of our patrons, discovering some hidden gems as well.

A library’s collection should reflect the community it is in, in all its variety and splendour. I’m new in town, and don’t pre-sume to know you as well as you know yourselves, so please help me out and tell me what you want to see in the library. We reserve a good part of our collections budget specifically for patron requests and if, for whatever reason, we choose not to purchase the item, we can usually get it through inter-library loan.

Last but not least, October is Canadian Library Month. Happy Library Month!

New librarian appreciates warm reception

CRESTON VALLEYMINOR HOCKEY

The Creston Valley Minor Hockey Midget rep Chiefs had their first two games on the weekend.

The Chiefs have head coach Tony Mulder. A big Creston welcome to our community for assistant coach Kyle Stoner with his wife Abbey. Another assis-tant coach is Brett Van Ruyskensvelde. Goalie coach is Dave Wigen, manager Lawrence Makortoff and trainer/HCSP is Rick Philbrook.

The team has two goalies, nine forwards and six defence-men. Back from last year are captain Jessie Bourgeois, assis-tant Josh Samuels, Will Caspers, Nat Philbrook, Nick Mottl and netminder Curtis Luke.

In the Chiefs league are Cranbrook, Windermere Valley, Elk Valley and Whitefish.

The game on Saturday was a barn-burner. The Creston Chiefs started the scoring in the first period with goals by quick- handed Nick Mottl, assisted by Keiran Simpson and Caspers. Then came another quick Chiefs’ goal, a howitzer from the blue line by Zack Van Ruyskensvelde, assisted by Jayden Gigliotti and Mottl.

Cranbrook, with players like Taylor Pinch (Danny Spring’s grandson) answered back with two goals of their own. After sitting at 2-2 for what seemed forever, the pro-verbial hockey "bad bounce" came into play on a Cranbrook shoot-in, sneaking by the Chiefs netminder who lost sight of the puck. The Chiefs coach pulled second year goal-ie Curtis Luke, in the last min-ute and a half of the game. With many chances in the Cranbrook end, the Chiefs could not get one by, ending the game 3-2 for Cranbrook.

Rookie netminder Christopher Mulder did not let any pucks by for his first time in the net as a midget. Coach Tony

Mulder was very happy with the players’ effort, especially from the third line, the players there played their positions well. The Chiefs are looking forward to playing Cranbrook again.

On Sunday the Chiefs trav-elled to Castlegar to face the only midget rep team the East has to offer. Castlegar had a strong team in the 2011/2012 season. Missing from the Chiefs for this game, were captain Bourgeois, with the flu, and vet-eran defencemen Philbrook, with a knee injury from the Cranbrook game.

Creston started the game with only three defensemen. Castlegar started off the scoring late in the first. The Chiefs got into some penalty trouble with the two referee and two lines-men system, landing them-selves in the sinbin. Nifty Chiefs’ passes from Simpson and Abdul Samai got the puck to S a m u e l s , who went top shelf on a nice short-handed goal.

Cast legar took advan-tage of anoth-er power play with a goal and took the lead again.The Chiefs a n s w e r e d -with a goal from Mottl, assisted by Samuels and M i c h a e l Makortoff.

Cast legar n o t c h e d another man a d v a n t a g e goal, then the Chiefs evened up the game at three with a

goal from defenceman Caspers, assisted by Mottl. Netminder Curtis Luke played an awe-some game.

Coach Tony Mulder was pleased with the tie, stating that this was Castlegar’s home ice and they wanted the win badly-- they were not expect-ing the Chiefs to have such a solid team.

Next Chiefs’ home game is this Saturday, October 20th in the Johnny Bucyck Arena at 10:15 a.m. against Coeur D'Alene. Come on out and be a fan. There is no charge to attend. You will only need to use the edge of your seat and bring a noisemaker. On Sunday the 21st the team trav-els to Windermere Valley for a 1:45 p.m. game. Keep your stick on the ice!

CBT invites environmental project ideasCOLUMBIA BASIN TRUST

Columbia Basin groups wishing to help main-tain or enhance environmental conditions in and around their communities are invited to submit project ideas to the Environmental Initiatives Program (EIP) of Columbia Basin Trust (CBT). Over the past 11 years, the program has provid-ed over $5 million in funding for environmental conservation, restoration, stewardship and edu-cation projects across the basin.

The program’s small grants stream, geared at projects under $10,000, has a continuous applica-tion intake depending on available funding. The large grants stream has an annual intake, and, for 2012-2013, will fund projects up to $50,000. The next application deadline is 3:30 p.m. (Pacific time) on Oct. 26.

“We’re pleased we can increase our support of projects that aim to reduce the impacts people have on our environment,” said Rick Allen, CBT environment program manager. “The projects also encourage education and awareness for all generations about basin ecosystems.”

White Bark Consulting was recently able to carry out whitebark pine restoration, thanks in part to EIP support. Whitebark pine is an endan-gered tree species of high-elevation forests that provides food and shelter for various wildlife species. The project also included educating community members, collecting seeds from healthy trees and creating a distribution map of the basin.

“The funding provided by CBT has been vital in enabling people and organizations that are interested in whitebark pine to come together and work on restoration efforts,” said Adrian Leslie of White Bark Consulting. “It has been a fun, interesting and rewarding experience.”

Another example is Seepanee Ecological Consulting, which undertook a wolverine popu-lation and habitat assessment. By collecting wol-verine hair samples from the Selkirk mountain range, as well as from trappers, this project was an important step in determining if the current harvest levels of wolverines are at risk of being unsustainable.

“Funding from partners like CBT has been critical to the success of the project,” said Doris Hausleitner of Seepanee Ecological Consulting. “Without their contributions, and assistance from local trappers and a multitude of volun-teers, this type of research would not be possi-ble.”

For more information about EIP or to get an application form, visit www.cbt.org/eip or con-tact Rick Allen at 1-800-505-8998 or [email protected].

Thunder Cats drop a pair of close games to Dynos

Jeff Banman photos

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYADVANCE STAFF

Creston Valley Thunder Cats went into last weekend hoping to come out challenging for first place. But two losses to the Kimberley Dynamiters, one in double overtime, has put the team in last spot in the Eddie Mountain Division.

“We had a very, very poor effort on Friday night,” coach Josh Hepditch said on Monday. “It was very frustrating. We didn’t seem to have anything working for us. There was no work ethic and it was an all-round poor game.”

“Our first period was okay, then it dropped off complete-ly,” he said of a game that ended up in a 4-2 loss in front of the loyal Creston crowd.

Trevor Hanna opened the scoring with the first period’s only goal on a short-handed effort. Kimberley tied the game in the middle frame and three

straight goals put the Dynos ahead for good in the third period. A late game goal by Ethan Rusnack proved to be too little, too late.

A much better effort on Saturday night in Kimberley helped the Cats take the home team into double overtime before surrendering the win-ning goal in a 3-2 game.

“It was a very good game by us,” Hepditch said. “We rebounded very well from Friday’s game. We were out-shot 34-31 but we played a very strong game and were unfortu-nate to lose.

“But excuses only go so far and we need to find a way to win some games,” he said. “I think it’s just a matter of time before we explode in one game and then start to play winning hockey. We’ve had a tough schedule recently, with lots of games on the road against some top teams.”

Darcy Flaherty staked the

Cats to a 1-0 first period lead on Saturday. Two second period goals put Kimberley up by one going into the final frame, but Angus Johnston sent the game into overtime by scoring in the first minute of the third period.

Nearly 40 minutes of hockey later, Dynamiter Isaac Schatcher sent the visitors back to their dressing room with what Hepditch described as a ques-tionable goal.

The Thunder Cats get a shot at redemption this Friday night with another home tilt against second place Kimberley. They then head south to Spokane for a Saturday match against the Spokane Chiefs, who sit in fourth place in the KIJHL’s Neil Murdoch Division.

Hepditch said he is extreme-ly pleased with local fan sup-port.

“Our crowds have been very good and we’ve been getting lots of good feedback about this team,” he said.

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance staff

In a relatively uneventful Town Council meeting last Tuesday, RCMP Staff Sergeant Bob Gollan presented his quar-terly policing report.

Statistics for the second quar-ter, including the number of calls, were in line with those from recent years, he said.

Gollan’s annual performance plan, created in consultation with local officials, focuses on substance abuse by youth,

police-community relations, traffic and drinking and driving, organized crime and prolific offenders.

In other Council news:•An application for funding

under the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund for a new washroom facili-ties in Burns Park was approved.

•A request from Canyon-Lister Elementary School to add to the Stream of Dreams fish mural on the Centennial Park fence got the go-ahead.

•Council approved a request

go forward to the RDCK for a change in scope of a grant to build trails. The request is for grant money already awarded be used for a different portion of the trails project than initially intended.

•An invitation from the World Wildlife Federation of Canada to participate in the Earth Hour City Challenge was received.

Comedian Lorne Elliottmakes return trip to Creston

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance staff

Who: Lorne Elliott.What: Laughs.Where: Stages across Canada,

in novels and plays.When: Since teaming up with

Kevin Blackmore in St. John’s in 1974.

Why: ”I’m a lucky man. What can I say?”

Comedian Lorne Elliott has made an enduring and success-ful career from his ability to get up on stage and make audiences laugh. And now, as he approach-es his 60th birthday, he has achieved a healthy balance in his life, performing, writing and working the gardens on the small farm near Montreal that he shares with his wife, Françoise Doliveux.

“I was just out walking and picking grapes this afternoon,” he said in a recent telephone interview. “We make our Chateau Two-by-Four, a wine from the grapes we grow up here.”

Vitis riparia, the ur-grape, is the fundamental grape that all other grapes come from, he says. Last year he made 50 gallons of wine.

Elliott, who returns to Creston to perform at Prince Charles Theatre on Saturday, October 20 at 7:30 p.m., said he had no thoughts of being a performer early in life.

“I was born here in Montreal, it was a cold November morning. The stars were aligned in just such a way,” he jokes. An uneventful, not especially come-dic school life took a dramatic turn after he graduated from high school.

“I went up to Newfoundland when I was 17 to go to college

(Memorial University in St. John’s). Started up with—I’m not sure if you know the group Kevin Blackmore has, Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers. Me and Kevin started out a little duo called Free Beer.

“It was good fun. For a couple of years we were burnin’ up the east coast.”

It is easy to imagine the howls that must have been generated from audiences watching Elliott and the manic, rubber-faced Blackmore. Eventually, Blackmore went on to form the still popular Buddy Wasisname and Elliott would become a solo act.

“Then there were endless road tours and CBC Radio’s Madly Off in All Directions,” he says. “I did that for 10 years.”

Not content to only be a stage performer, Elliott also wrote. Fiction, songs, monologues, jokes and theatrical scripts.

The Night the Raccoons Went Berserk won the best new play award at the Quebec Drama Festival 1983. It was produced by the Charlottetown Theatre Festival in 1986 with Culture Shock, another comedy that has been presented regularly since then across the country. In 1989 it was staged and filmed by CBC-TV for a special drama telecast. Part of The Pelley Papers, a new cycle of plays he wrote was pre-miered at Upper Canada Playhouse (Morrisburg, Ontario) in 1995. Two recent works are A Pitiful Ambition and How I Broke Into Showbiz.

“Now I’ve just received notice that I’ve been short-listed for best musical play of the year by the Playwrights’ Guild of Canada,” he says.

Asked about whether he was in the class clown in school, he says, “Not really, I don’t think. There were funnier people. There are funnier people than me in just about any community. There are people who are just hilarious but they’ll never get on stage.

“I learn from them. I have to be funny at certain times in front of people who have paid to see me be funny. It’s a different sort of thing. But I think I get most of my attitudes from those people who are doing it for real rea-sons.”

Elliott grew up in what he describes as a scientific family. His dad was a doctor and his brother is a geologist.

“Those doors were open to me but I don’t have a particular sci-entific mind,” he says. “I went to Memorial for marine biology, but I got waylaid.”

He recalls one specific sensa-tion about the first time he per-formed on stage as a profession-al: “Terror. You’re thinking, you’ve got no right to get up here, you’ve got nothing. And sure enough, you make a com-plete idiot of yourself, and you go on or you don’t. That’s why God made the road!”

Travelling, he says, is a wear-ing part of performing.

“Yeah, the logistics of it are rather daunting, like the logistics of anything. All that spade-work—who needs that?

“On the other hand, there are few people that have jobs where, if you do it right, people who have already paid to see you actually stand up and applaud at the end of your day’s work. There’s a lot of good things about it but, at the end, after being on the road for too long, you start not being as grateful for the laughs as you should be.

I’d do it for nothing, although I shouldn’t say that. It’s a great job.”

He doesn’t spend as much time on the road as he used to.

“I remember one year we did 300 days in a year. But we were both young and hungry—I’m talking about me and Mrs. Elliott, Françoise, who does all the book-ings and the hard work.

These days, with less travels, he spends more time on another passion.

“I do a lot of writing. I just finished up a novel--it’s in front of publishers now,” he says. “I have one novel (The Fixer Upper, an adaptation of his play, Tourist Trap) that has been published and I have another that will be published, that we signed a con-tract for just a couple of weeks ago.”

There is no magic formula for writing, he admits.

“Get up early in the morning and write—that’s where it all starts, really,” he says.

“Comedy is a different type of

writing. I just wrote a thing about toast burning, for instance, and my so-called pop-up toaster. It hasn’t made it on stage yet, but I will probably memorize it word for word, then once I get on stage I will forget it and then reform it in front of an audience. With a one-man show on stage you can do that. So why wouldn’t you?”

Does he write in a lonely writ-er’s garret or go down to the local coffee shop?

“Garret, yes, on the sixth floor, overlooking Paris! No, I have an office. I sit down at the computer and stare at the screen, some-times, and at others the words just come. Then the next day you read them back and are disgust-ed.

“Writing is still a big mystery for me, where those ideas come from. How you put two ideas together and then you have more than a third—sort of a multiplier effect. It’s a good life.”

His new stage show, which he calls The Upside of the Downturn, focuses on local economic and agricultural issues.

“Part of it has to do with the downturn. I think it’s about meaning, really. On the level I do it at is not really farming, but it is a small farm and it is taking care

of land and the land taking care of us. One thing about it is that it is very real. There is a lot of meaning involved in it.

“Frannie just made a nice kale salad of course. Kale is great—you can’t kill it with a gun. It’s an acquired taste. Francoise pre-pares it with goat cheese and nuts and stuff. We just had some, and tomatoes—it’s a good year for tomatoes.

“It (farming and gardening) connects you. When you sit down to eat a meal that you’ve grown, it connects you to your own life in a way that very few other things do. You know imme-diately why you are doing this (growing food). Even though it might cost $11 per tomato it’s a good thing to do, I think. And it makes sense when you do it.

“I remember growing up with the Whole Earth Catalogue and the back to land movement. But the environmental movement is one of the movements from the ‘sixties that has lasted. And good for it. It seems to have more reso-nance now, even with my audi-ences.

“I think audiences like to hear about that and if you’re farming, there’s no shortage of material. “

Downturn have been around for quite a while, but he keeps adding to it and subtracting from it.

“I’ll put in the burning toast thing and I’ll probably throw out the oldest one. You will be getting a different show in Creston than you got last time because Françoise sits in the room at ever perfor-mance and makes a list of things so that when I go back I avoid the things that I’ve said before.”

Performing, he says, gets easier with experience.

“I’m really having a good

time these days on stage. I’ve got 40 hours of material I can draw on, I’m writing stuff all the time and I’m writing stuff on the stage all the time. It seems to be working, touch wood. Don’t jinx it.

“I love being on stage now. That hasn’t always been the case. When I started out it was work. I didn’t know what I could do, but now I’m at the peak of my form.

“It’s also a question of gain-ing a certain mastery of a form I’ve been working on all my life. I’m happier now than I’ve ever been, really, and gosh, what can I say except “Thanks” to whoever’s responsible. “

A severe heart attack a few years ago, and the fact that he is now nearly 60, help to give him a deeper appreciation and understanding of life.

“You re-prioritize dramati-cally and good thing, too. You find out what’s more impor-tant. I’m a lucky man, what can I say? It’s a question of being grateful for what you’ve got.”

CRESTON ROTARY CLUB

In honor of World Polio Day, which is widely recognized on October 24, Creston and Creston Valley Rotary Clubs continue to raise funds in sup-port of Rotary’s 26-year mis-sion to eradicate the crippling childhood disease polio.

As part of Rotary’s most recent campaign to match a US$355 million challenge grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $200 million by June 2012, the humanitarian service organization is close to reaching its goal, with more than US$180 million raised to date. The funding will provide critical support to polio eradi-cation activities in parts of Africa and South Asia.

Since 1985, Rotary has con-tributed more than $1 billion and countless volunteer hours

to the protection of more than two billion children in 122 countries. The disease remains endemic in four countries -- Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, and Pakistan -- although other countries remain at risk for imported cases.

“The two Rotary clubs of Creston are working to meet the challenge of eradicating polio. We are extremely close.” said assistant district governor Don Tarrant, a past president of the Creston Rotary Club. “ Your local Rotary club members fun-draise and donate out of their own pockets to meet this chal-lenge. If you wish to donate, you can do so at www.EndPolioNow.org.

A highly infectious disease, polio causes paralysis and is sometimes fatal. As there is no cure, the best protection is pre-vention. For as little as US 60

cents worth of vaccine, a child can be protected against this crippling disease for life. After an international investment of more than US$8 billion, and the successful engagement of over 200 countries and 20 million volunteers, polio could be the first human disease of the 21st century to be eradicated.

The Global Polio Eradication Initiative is spearheaded by the World Health Organization, Rotary International, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). It includes the support of governments and other private sector donors.

“In 1988 there were 125 polio endemic countries world-wide.,” Tarrant said. “Today, in 2012, we are down to only four-polio endemic countries, we are getting there.”

To the Editor:I would like to thank the

many residents of Creston and surrounding area for the kind words and emails that you have given to me and my members over the past week. As you can imag-ine, it has been a very stress-ful week for us and it is dif-ficult to express how much these comments of support really mean to us. As you have stated, you don’t know the circumstances of the incident that occurred last Saturday morning, but you do know the young men and women who work in our office by different names than the ones that are cur-rently being thrown about by our established media and social internet sites. Some of the names that you know these members by are neighbors, friends, coaches and parents. You also know that when these same com-munity members go to work they put on a uniform that carries a lot of authority, but

with this authority also comes even more responsi-bility. This responsibility is to keep our homes and com-munity safe from a small percentage of our popula-tion that seems to think it is okay to prey on the rest of us. That these same young men and women wear this uniform with pride and with a determination to help keep you safe, so that you feel comfortable to allow your kids to go to a movie in the evening and to not get run over by a drunk driver, so that you feel safe to go to a local watering hole to socialize with your friends and not get assaulted by local bullies, all you have to do is read the local police beat to see the numerous ways we help our fellow community members. We do not join this profession to be bullies and rogue cops as seems to be portrayed in the current mainstream media, we all join so we can make our communities and coun-

try a better place to live. I would be remiss if I did

not thank our mayor and council who expressed their support for our office and their belief that once a fair and impartial investigation is conducted that the truth will come out, and to the Creston Valley Advance, which has not jumped on the bandwag-on to print stories based on rumours and hearsay.

I would especially like to thank the many people who were at the bar when this incident took place and have come forward as they are completely shocked on how mainstream media is cur-rently relaying a completely warped and untrue rendi-tion of what occurred that night. They are coming for-ward with the true version of what occurred and are providing this to the Delta Police investigative team. This true version of the facts is verified by the security video tape that shows the entire incident.

Unfortunately, we as mem-bers of the legal profession are restricted in what we can release, as we have to ensure that subjects who are ordered to appear before our justice system do not have their rights violated, in that they have a right to face their accusers before a court of law. So we keep silent until all of this evidence can be presented at their trials.

These “pillars of our community” have the right to say anything they want and we currently have a mainstream media that is prepared to air these untruths without verifying any of what is being said. These hurtful statements carry a huge impact on our young members and their families. We have wives, husbands, and children who are hearing what terrible people their loved ones are and in some cases they are now scared to take their children to the local parks due to the numerous threats made on many social inter-net sites. We are offering what support we can to

these family members, but what would really help is if these threats and name-call-ing stopped and that you continue to let these young men and women know how much you appreciate what they do.

Finally, I would like to advise you that as the super-visor of the two young police officers that attended the liquor establishment that night, I have had an oppor-tunity to speak to both of them, to read several state-ments from that night and to view the security footage. I have no hesitation in stat-ing how proud I am of the actions of these two mem-bers, as they handled a call of help from one of our local business establishments. They put themselves in harm’s way to answer this call, they handled a group of very confrontational and angry subjects in a way that brings credit to this organi-zation, and as for the one member who was tasked with dealing with the sub-ject who ended up in the hospital, he did everything

in his power to deal with him using only his voice and presence. Unfortunately, it escalated to a point where he was forced to rely on his training and skills to resolve a violent situation using the least force possible. Once the incident was over he immediately went into a protection role to ensure that this same subject received the medical care he required. I can only hope that if I am ever faced with this same type of situation that I will handle it with the same professionalism and calmness that he exhibited.

So to end, it is for people like you that I still put on this uniform. Even after 30 years I still get that sense of pride every time I am able to make a positive change in some-one’s life, and the kindness and understanding that you have shown to me and my staff is one of the many rea-sons that I am happy to say that I live in this community.

Happy 60th Anniversary

Jonathan was a skilled woodworker: a ship’s carpenter and a tradesman in household renovation with an artist’s eye. He loved to work with the exotic hardwoods on boats as much as he loved to sail them. He spent many an early hour cheering on his favourite European football team, Manchester United. We all miss his random gifts of kindness, soup, and generosity.

Garth Wallace Oko

It is with profound sadness that the family of Garth Wallace Oko announce his sudden passing on October 8, 2012 at his home in

Creston Valley as a result of a stroke.

December 10, 1944~

October 8, 2012

Garth was born on December 10, 1944 in Westlock, Alberta to his loving parents Hilda and Peter Oko. His early years were spent in Westlock before moving to Edmonton in 1951. After graduating from Ross Shepherd High School in Edmonton, Garth went to work in the of ce of the Canadian National Railroad. Garth met his future wife Carrie in Edmonton, and in 1969 they married in the Creston Valley. In 1973 Garth and Carrie relocated to the Valley to start their life together, Garth rst apprenticing as a plumber and soon thereafter as an orchardist on the Oko fruit farm in Creston. Garth was blessed to have his mother and father, Peter and Hilda Oko, join him in Creston in 1975, also establishing their home on the Oko orchard. Garth’s passion for his orchard was evident to all that knew him and he quickly became a respected orchardist, raising some of the nest fruit in the valley. Garth was amazingly patient and kind and exceedingly honest and fair with everyone he dealt with, neighbour, friend, fellow orchardist or the pickers he employed each season. The loyalty of those who were fortunate enough to have worked for Garth is a real testament to his fairness and strength of character. While Garth tended to the orchard, together with Carrie they raised two sons, Chad and Kory, who Garth loved unconditionally. When not tending to the orchard or packing fruit at the packing shed, Garth could be found on the golf course, a hobby that he was passionate about and which brought him much satisfaction mixed with only a small degree of frustration! Garth was never happier than when his grandchildren Caiden, Chantelle and Connor arrived which made his life that much more complete.Garth passed into the loving arms of his beloved wife Carrie, who predeceased him in January of 2012, his father Peter Oko, his brother-in-law and sister-in law Linda and Jim Maguire, and sister-in-law Joni Maguire.Garth is survived by his loving family who are left to mourn his passing; mother Hilda Oko of Creston; son and daughter-in-law Chad and Amy Orodio of Vancouver and grandchildren ..CCCaiden, Chantelle and Connor;

son Kory of Victoria; sister Carolyn Oko of Galiano Island; brother and sister-in-law Kurt and Darlene Oko of Country Harbour Nova Scotia; niece and nephews Nahanni, Emma, Liam, Leanne, Pam, Kelly, Dean and Shawn; father-in-law Emmett Maguire of Creston; sister-in-law Marlene Billey (Marshall); brother-in-law Charlie Maguire of Westbank, BC, and Jack Maguire (Rosemarie) of St. Albert, Alberta. Garth had a large circle of friends in the Valley including his very dear friend George Korman who was at his side at the time of his passing and with whom Garth shared many good times for thirty years, especially on the golf course.A Service of Love and Remembrance

will be held onThursday October 18, 2012

at 2:00 p.m.at the Creston and District Community

Complex in the Creston Room.All who knew and loved Garth

are invited to attend.The family is especially grateful for

the love and support of the many close friends and families in Creston, Alberta, Vancouver and Victoria who

have been kind enough to call or come by the orchard and for the donations

of food ( cakes, cookies, muf ns, fruits, crackers, salads, ham lasagne, turkey, vegetables, cold cuts platters…) and owers. our kindness has made this dif cult time so much easier to bear

The family will also be forever appreciative of the compassionate care

of all the nurses, staff,Dr. cKay and Dr. Grif oenof Creston Valley Hospital.

In loving memory of Garth, memorial contributions would be gratefully

accepted to the Creston Valley Hospital and the BC Heart and Stroke

Foundation.

Garth’s warm heart, loving smile and tremendous sense of humour left us all

so unexpectedly that wordsare inadequate to express the

family’s grief and loss as he leaves us to embark on his new journey.

Those we love don’t go awayThey walk beside us every day.

Unseen, unheard but always near,Always missed and very dear.

NEED A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE?

lookno further!

Advertising during a sluggish economy clearly creates a competitive advantage, according to a recent study*. Seeing a company advertise during slower times makes

customers feel more positive about the company’s commitment to its products

Thank Youto the People of Creston and Area

for your continual generosity and support toGleaners, Gleaners Too and the Food Bank

It is by the generosity of Creston people that enables us to fund the Food Bank by selling your Gleaners’ donations, making it the oneand only in Canada that we know of that never has bare shelves.

• Overwaitea Foods• Extra Foods• Truscott Farms• Maggie & Julius Zsoltaros for their very generous donation of all their gluten-free products

• College of the Rockies Greenhousefor the weekly produce

• Creston Valley Thunder Cats for their “Stuff the Bus” contribution and cash donation

• Local hunters for the elk and moose meat• Local gardeners for their fresh produce• Mrs. Kapoor for her monthly donations• Food Action Coalition and Harvest Share • Weeky contributions of groceries from local residents

Photos on the left: Children of Grizzly Bear Day Care who have each brought produce from the Community Greenhouse to the Food Bank

12 years and counting for Physioworks

It has been an exciting ride for Physioworks since Michael and Candace Foy purchased the business 12 years ago, when it was located in the small building to the south of Creston Valley Hospital. A move to the Creston & District Community complex has allowed the business to expand to meet clents’ needs. Pictured (l to r): Lindsey Adsett (Occupation Therapist), Mike Adsett (Clinical Counselor), Richelle Balawakula (Kinesiologist), Lynn Adderly (Registered Massage Therapist), Sandi Bloy (Office Manager), Michael Foy (Physical Therapist/Owner), Candace Foy (Physical Therapist/Owner), Robyn Skopac (Physical Therapist), Kathryn Hepditch (Physical Therapist), Aleesha Meaver (Registered Massage Therapist), Sumarie le Roux (Physical Therapist), Helen Collins (Receptionist), Brenda Dyck (Receptionist).

You already recycle at home, at work and at school. Now you can add recycling old and broken elec-tronic toys to your environmental action list. That’s right! It’s not only new to BC, it’s the first producer-responsibility program for e-toys in Canada.

Check around your home to see what old or broken electronic toys may be lurking in closets or play

rooms. Lots of toys are still fun to play with even when the sirens don’t work or the lights don’t flash, but if it’s time to toss them…remember to recycle.

The electronic toy recycling pro-gram includes thousands of toys ranging from small electronic toy giveaways to large ride-on battery powered toys. More specifically, accepted toys include:

• Plush textiles with electronics• Metal or hard plastic toys with

electronics• Remote control vehicles• Ride on vehicles• Hand held game devices• Gaming devices with PC / TV

(for kids < 14 years)• Electronic toy promotional

itemsEach electronic toy will be manu-

ally dismantled and each of the materials will be sorted and reused in various manufacturing processes. That’s how old toys will find new life!

Drop off your old electronic toys for free, safe recycling. To find the location nearest you, visit www.rcbc – Recyclopedia, call the Recycling Hotline 604 732 9253 or check the Depot Finder at www.cbrsc.ca
