Lorne EckersleyRIGHT ABOUT... HERE — For the sheer entertainment value, a couple dozen Creston area residents gathered Aug. 25 to watch a 13,000-pound sculp-ture being dropped into place beside the Creston and District Chamber of Commerce parking lot. Spirit Bear is another in a series of bear sculptures created by local stone sculptor Stewart Steinhauer, who is lending the piece for display. It was most recently on view at Kunze Gallery in Wynndel.

Creston resident Katherine McAdam has died in what police suspect was a homicide. McAdam was the subject of a missing person investigation as reported in last week’s Advance.

“Forensic analysis of suspected

human remains have confirmed them as being that of Katherine McAdam,” an RCMP press release said on Tuesday morning.

The 58-year-old McAdam was reported missing from her home to the RCMP on Aug. 18.

On the afternoon of Aug. 27, Creston RCMP members discov-ered “what they believed to be

human remains” while conducting their inquiry at a residence in the 2700 block of Highway 3. The Southeast District major crime unit was contacted and has since taken over the investigation.

“I have been very impressed with the major crimes unit’s efforts to work with our detachment and to keep communication open,” Staff

Sgt. Darryl Hammond said on Monday, in only his second week on the job as commander of the Creston detachment.

Anyone with information in regards to McAdam's death is asked to contact the Creston RCMP Detachment at 250-428-9313 or BC Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The Southern Alberta Ronald McDonald House will receive a donation of over $2,000, thanks to the fundraising efforts of Kaelyn Austin Vance.

While visiting her grandparents, Dwayne and Denise Ludwar, the nine-year-old spent time at the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market this summer, selling sunflowers, dill and Swiss chard, along with bracelets she made with Rainbow Loom, raising $1,027.25 — which Alberta oil and gas company Nexen will double.

“We were all very excited when we heard that,” said Kaelyn’s mom, Rachelle Austin.

One of Kaelyn’s best friends, Creston seven-year-old Isobel “Izzy” Nixon, has been staying at Calgary’s Ronald McDonald House regularly since being diagnosed with a brain tumor last December. Kaelyn, who lives in Calgary, visits

her often, enjoying the special home away from home, which has a library, toys and more.

“I like the craft section and the games,” said Kaelyn. “We went to play bingo, and if you got some-thing, like a blackout or a straight line, you’d get a little prize.

Kaelyn discovered Rainbow Loom — a plastic loom used to weave coloured rubber bands into bracelets and charms — about two years ago, and began weaving bracelets to sell to her class as a fun-draiser for Alberta Children’s Hospital.

“I really wanted to raise lots of money for people that have to do treatment,” she said. “There are so many kids that have been going to treatments and scared to do stuff.”

“It made her discover her love for helping others,” said Austin.

Last year, Kaelyn and her brother Cohen started fundrais-ing by selling raspberry jam to neighbours and family. They con-tinued this year, after Izzy’s diag-

Bracelet sales helping Ronald McDonald House

nosis, and ended up earning $69.55, which they gave to Izzy to buy whatever she wanted.

“I felt bad that she’s going through a hard time,” said Kaelyn. “I want to take care of her. I know she feels scared sometimes.”

And however Kaelyn next decides to express her generosity, her mom and dad are happy to support her.

“I’m very hon-oured to have such a special little girl,” said Austin.

Creston RCMP saw a dramatic drop in calls for service last week, with only 53 requests after a sev-eral weeks in getting a hundred or more calls.

“It seems like we are entering a completely different trend after a busy summer,” Staff Sgt. Darryl Hammond said on Monday.

August 24•A wallet found on a Mount

Thompson hiking trail has been returned to the owner. Hammond said that the return of lost wallets, with ID, credit cards and cash intact, has been an eye opener after he spent nearly two decades in the Lower Mainland, where such an occurrence is a rare event.

•Police were called to diffuse a situation in the 1100 block of Canyon Street, where an intoxicat-ed male was causing a disturbance.

•After some investigation into a child custody dispute, a parent at the Kingsgate border crossing was cleared to enter Canada.

•Police assisted an RCMP K Division major crimes investigation by taking a statement from an Evans Road resident.

•A male attempting to enter Canada through Kingsgate while in the possession of firearms was arrested and held in custody pend-ing a court appearance.

August 25•Police served a summons to a

Wynndel resident on behalf of Calgary police.

•A motorcyclist who lost control on gravel near Crawford Bay was taken to hospital in Nelson with a concussion and back, arm and leg injuries.

•Police were unable to identify the driver who transported a group of youths to the Goat River Bridge in the back of a pickup truck.

•Quick action by people in the area might have prevented a forest fire after a U-Haul truck caught fire on Highway 3A near Akokli Creek. While a BC Forest Service helicop-

ter was dispatched to assess the danger, residents fought the fire, successfully.

“This was an exceptional effort by these folks,” Hammond said. “The fire would likely have spread to surrounding homes and forest.”

August 26•Culprits broke into a Helen

Street business through a window, ransacking an office and breaking into a pop machine. The investiga-tion continues.

•Both parties were spoken to after police responded to a report from Cook Street about threats made over a “perceived debt”.

•A drug exchange was wit-nessed in a Canyon Street alley but the participants have not been identified.

•Police were unable to locate an intoxicated male reported to be sleeping beside Cook Street.

August 27•An Ash Street resident reported

someone banging on the door in the early hours of the morning, but police could not locate a suspect.

•An intoxicated male was removed from an 11th Avenue South residence at the request of the residents.

•Creston RCMP were kept busy for several days after a body was found in the southeast part of town. More details elsewhere in this issue.

August 28•Police are investigating a break-

in to a Bodor Road residence, where a car, television and firearms were stolen. The car has since been recov-ered.

•Police mediated a dispute between family members in Yahk.

•A portable stereo was stolen from an Eighth Avenue residence.

•An impaired driver first reported on Cook Street was locat-ed on Hilton Road after another complaint. The male driver was issued a 90-day driving prohibi-tion and the vehicle was impound-ed for 30 days.

Calls for RCMP down by half as summer ends

Creston Valley voters will have a chance to see federal election candidates in full campaign mode on Oct. 1. All four major party candi-dates have accepted an invi-tation from the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce to participate in an all candi-dates forum.

Incumbent Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks (Conservative Party) will appear along with challeng-ers Wayne Stetski (New Democratic Party), Don Johnson (Liberal Party) and Bill Green (Green Party). Libertarian Party candidate

Christina Yahn had not responded to the invitation at press time.

Following the format set in last year’s local govern-ment election forums, ques-tions to the candidates will be selected prior to the event. Submissions of questions can be dropped off at the cham-ber of commerce on Northwest Boulevard or emailed to manager@crest-onvalleychamber.com. No questions will be taken from the floor.

“This format allows the spotlight to be focused on the candidates,” said chamber manager Jim Jacobsen. “We will go through the submit-ted questions and select them

to cover as broad a range of topics as possible.”

Submission deadline is Sept. 16. Candidates will be provided with the selected questions in advance of the forum.

The Creston Valley Toastmasters Club will provide an MC for the evening and will also work to keep the time for each candidate equitable. Creston’s 904 Kootenai Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets will assist with seat-ing and will serve refreshments.

The forum will be held in the Creston Room at Creston and District Community Complex. Doors open at 6 p.m. and intro-ductions begin at 6:30. The forum will end at 9 p.m.

BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor

The Creston branch of Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is hosting its annual fundraising banquet in a month, and tickets are going quickly — nearly all have sold already, and the event is on track to sell out early.

Seating was expanded to accommodate last-minute tick-et buyers last year, but organiz-ers found it made the event too crowded, so sales will be restricted to 232 this year.

“This behooves people to buy their tickets early, as this year we may well sell out well before the week prior, as we did last year,” said banquet committee member Lou Knafla.

The Oct. 3 event is always popular, and more than simply a banquet, which again includes prime rib, along with wines from SkimmerhornWinery and Vineyard and Baillie-Grohman Estate Winery. Silent and live auctions are also on the sched-ule, featuring items sent to the Creston committee by DUC, and many products donated by local artists and businesses. There will be raffles, too, along with a new game.

“It will lighten things up a little bit,” said Knafla.

It’s been such a successful fundraiser that the committee

Advance Staff

Both a campfire ban and a smoky skies advisory for the Creston Valley were lifted on Monday.

Wet and windy weather

over the weekend prompted the Ministry of Environment and Interior Health Authority to lift the smoky skies advisory that had been in place in south-ern areas of the Kootenay and Boundary regions since Aug. 20 (it was later widened to cover the entire regions Aug. 24).

“While some wildfires remain active, the weather system that is moving through the region, accompanied by rain and high winds, has reduced the amount of smoke and improved air qual-ity,” said Monday’s announce-ment. “These conditions are expected to continue over the next few days.”

As of Monday, the 480-hect-are Mount Midgely fire north-west of Creston remained active, but was 95 per cent con-tained. Nearly three dozen fire-fighters and one helicopter

were working on the blaze ignited by lightning on Aug. 14.

South of the border, Idaho’s 2,500-hectare Parker Ridge fire, visible from the Creston Valley, is 27 per cent contained, with over 80 firefighters battling the wildfire that started July 29.

The rescinding of the camp-fire ban in the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdiction means that campfires no larger than a half-metre wide by a half-metre high, and open fires in an out-door stove are again allowed.

“Anyone who lights a camp-fire must have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of water available to fully extin-guish it,” said the notice from the BC Wildlife Service.

Backyard burning and open fires remain prohibited.

For more on burning restric-tions, visit bcwildfire.ca.

August 29•A stolen vehicle was recov-

ered on Northwest Boulevard. “The good work of one of our members tied that vehicle to some other incidents in police reports,” Hammond said.

•Police assisted in trans-porting a person to hospital under the Mental Health Act.

•A report about a suspicious person banging on doors on Dogwood Street was likely connected to a neighbours’ dis-

pute, Hammond said.•A group of about 15 vehi-

cles with some drivers stunting was reported at the Wynndel rest area on Highway 3A.

•Horses were reported to be loose on Highway 3/95.

•A 911 call from Birch Street was attributed to a misdial.

August 30•Police received a complaint

about a couple yelling on Cardinal Road in Arrow Creek.

•A Cedar Street resident reported that a 10-inch branch of a plum tree was cut off.

•A Mustang reported to be doing donuts in the farmers’ market location was gone when

police arrived.•A well-being check at a 22nd

Avenue South residence revealed the residents were fine.

•When police investigated a report by a female that she was followed by an elderly male while walking on Cook Street they were unable to locate him.

•A person who cut down a cedar tree on a Vail Road prop-erty has not been located.

•Creston police assisted U.S. authorities with an assault investigation.

•Police assisted Vancouver Island RCMP with an investi-gation by taking a statement from a Wynndel resident.

Annual DUC fundraising dinner on track to sell out

Campfire ban,

smoke advisory

lifted

has earned two awards from the Suzuki Canadian Dealer Foundation: the Regional Most Improved Chapter of the Year and the Regional Chapter of the Year awards.

Last year’s banquet raised $24,932 for DUC, all which is put back into projects at the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area (CVWMA).

“In 2014, Ducks Unlimited Canada partnered with CVWMA and contributed $50,000 towards repairs at the Duck Lake cross-dike, and helped with the repairs of one of the two Duck Lake pumps, as well as replace the starter control for the pumps,” said Knafla. “DUC will be pro-viding $40,000 in 2015 to be used

toward infrastructure repairs and habitat management.”

In coming months, DUC will continue to work closely with the CVWMA on the wet-land infrastructure.

“In addition, the DUC staff worked collaboratively with the CVWMA and provincial biologists in preparing an updated management plan to guide future management and operations activities,” said Knafla. “This draft plan will be presented to the public later this coming year.”

The few remaining tickets are available by calling Gertie Brown at 250-428-7581. The banquet starts with drinks and hors d’ouvres at 5:30 p.m.; dinner starts at 7.

OPINION LINE

The message arrived in a timely fashion, on a Wednesday morning. I was not booked for the after-noon, but I certainly wasn’t antici-pating the name Mrs. Mallandaine to pop up in my email. Tammy Hardwick, manager of the Creston Museum and Archives, knows how to get attention.

All summer I had intentions of taking one of Hardwick’s museum bus tours, designed to educate visi-tors and locals about Creston histo-ry. Somehow the timing never seemed to work out and the poke from Mrs. Mallandaine was not without a sense of a urgency — last Wednesday’s hour-and-a-half tour would be the last of the year.

“ ‘Mrs. Mallandaine’ wishes to remind you that her last journey to Creston’s past for the summer of 2015 will be departing the Museum at 2:00 this afternoon. If you are able to attend, she has a seat reserved for you in the ‘buggy’.”

I replied that I could not turn down an invitation from such an august personality, especially in August.

Mrs. Mallandaine? My local his-tory knowledge is far from thor-ough. I might sneak by with a C on a test. But I do know enough to appreciate that as a young woman Jean Ramsay had taught school in Creston. Later, she would marry Edward Mallandaine, an engineer who, with F.G. Little, would choose the present site of Creston while working on a survey party for the railway. The couple would be become a formidable force in the town’s early history.

I arrived at the museum on a dark, smoke-filled afternoon, paid my $15 entry fee (graciously declining the offer of a free ride)

and soon boarded the “buggy”, a BC Transit community bus. The smoke had taken its toll on tour-ism that day and the only other passenger (some of the earlier tours were packed) and I were

soon being instructed by Mrs. Mallandaine (a.k.a. Tammy Hardwick), replete in her prim white blouse and long, slender green skirt.

In my earlier years I used to make a point of visiting local muse-ums in my travels. I have fond memories of tours through muse-ums on Quadra Island and in Prince Rupert. They only rarely appear on my radar now (though I still want to visit the Torrington Gopher Hole Museum in Central Alberta, where stuffed gophers are dressed to resemble townspeople). On my visits to the Creston Museum, though, I am inevitably transported back in time. And my first thoughts go to that massive community effort to acquire many of the items donated to a failed effort near Yahk in the early 1980s. Leaders of the day showed great foresight when they managed to acquire the stone house on Devon Street, on a large property that has served the museum and archives extremely well over the years.

Our tour took us through the

downtown core, down to the old Endicott property (now Spectrum Farms) and out and around Erickson. Mrs. Mallandaine shared photos to illustrate how Creston and area looked a century ago, and she had information and anecdotes to accompany them. It was a joyful afternoon to be in her company and do a little vicarious time travelling with her.

That afternoon did not end my museum experience for the week. On Saturday evening, once again in smoke-filled air, I pulled out my old folk festival lawn chairs and headed to the museum courtyard, where staff and volunteers had arranged a movie night. Admission included a glass of wine and a variety of tasty food morsels and I settled in beside a friend to enjoy Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire in Funny Face, a deservedly classic film. Low volume sound and a wrinkly sheet that doubled as a movie screen did nothing to detract from the evening’s plea-sure. The small crowd seemed very pleased to participate in a lovely event that will surely be requested again next summer.

Tammy Hardwick, with her staff, and volunteers have created some-thing of a miracle on that Devon Street property. The Creston Museum, in my estimation, is as good as it gets for small-town muse-ums. What sets it above so many others, though, is the continual effort to reach out into the commu-nity and connect with people in countless ways, all designed to remind us of what a remarkable asset we have in this community. We are fortunate indeed.

To the Editor:(Re: “Volunteers Want to Feel Wanted

by Society”, Aug. 13)When the Gleaners started, the vol-

unteers would run it having a vote and a say how things were done. The Aug. 13 letter to the editor leads one to think that things are not running so smoothly. I understand that the mandate was for the volunteers to run this organization.

It would appear from the letter that someone is trying to take over the Gleaners and Food Bank for their own personal ideas and use. How sad that this organization has run into a road-block, getting rid of all the old volun-teers and then putting a sign out look-ing for new people! Sounds like they are looking for “yes” people.

The powers to be need to have a good look at this situation and correct it. If we lose Gleaners it will be a sad day for Creston.

To the Editor:I received a phone call from Rajeeta

Bains of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) confirming rumours that the public access to the Point through Goat Canyon Road has indeed been parcelled and sold to a private land owner.

How did this happen? I am in shock that in 2015 government forfeited the interests of an entire community as a solution to one private citizen’s com-plaints. In this same year, a judge in the Okanagan ruled that health and well-ness of the public took precedence over competing land interests and secured a rails-to-trails corridor.

Over the past year, through a series of public meetings, citizens of the Creston Valley voted that our top priority for a community initiative was to get connect-ed, calling it the community connector trail. We envisioned a non-motorized path from Wynndel through Erickson, then reaching to the east side of the val-ley going down Goat Canyon Road with a suspension bridge to replace the old bridge across the Point, and then con-necting up through Canyon and to the farms in Lister. This is an ambitious goal, but other communities have similar paths, so why couldn’t we?

Several of us who are passionate about preserving access to the canyon have been working behind the scenes for the past two years to try to figure out what could be done about the road clo-sure to the area known as the Point. In July 2014, the Trails for Creston Valley Society met with MOTI and Regional District of Central Kootenay representa-tives to discuss several options for open-ing access through existing highways corridors. Conversations in that meeting, emails and extensive public engagement processes have ensured local govern-ments were well informed of the goals laid down by the public to get connected.

Regardless, the public road access was parcelled and sold despite the fact that official court documents state that about 200 people accessed the river this way daily. We lost a valuable pub-lic access to an important community recreational area on Crown land. In the meantime, valley residents flock in hoards to the bridge on Highway 21, park on the shoulder of a busy high-way and jump off a highway bridge for recreation because there is nowhere else to go. The closest public beach is a 45-minute drive up Kootenay Lake to Twin Bays.

Because of a runaround between the regional districts, RCMP and MOTI, the judge deemed MOTI a bad neighbour and ruled in a court decision that it, as the defendant, had to come up with a solution. Its short-term solution was to gate the road and post a guard to pro-hibit access, much to the chagrin of many sweaty would-be swimmers and kayakers trying to access the coolness of the canyon.

Bains followed up with an email answering my questions about public consideration in the decision. “It was discussed with RDCK about creating a park. However due to many factors, a park was not favoured by the RDCK. In 2014, RDCK stated that the land could not be sold as an individu-al parcel due to zoning parcel size requirements. The land was then offered to both land owners adjacent to the right of way.”

Citizens need to stand up for our right to access and preserve the com-mons. The beautiful natural spaces that are our home become simply lot numbers and lines on maps to those sitting in the offices. All over the province, people are stepping for-ward for the stewardship of their nat-ural spaces and waterways.

You too can support these initiatives by speaking to your local politicians about securing public spaces and access to water. This must never hap-pen again!

To the Editor:Some days I like animals better than

people. Today is one of those days. I’m siting on my deck watching a starving cat and four very thin, hungry kittens. The young mother showed up here in the winter, managed to survive, was bred and gave birth to a batch of kit-tens. Hunger has driven her into my yard in search of food and water. She is not a feral cat. This was somebody’s pet, no longer wanted and dumped off.

This isn’t the first time cats have arrived. Last summer, a cat with four kittens showed up. Two kittens died. She was loaded with tapeworms and was expelling gobs of them in my yard. She was a friendly cat and, again, a pet. Next came an overweight yellow tabby. An indoor cat with no hunting skills, the weight quickly dropped off and she cried incessantly for food. A grey tom has taken up residence on my neigh-bour’s deck. The list will continue as long as their irresponsible owners aren’t stopped.

I am the owner of an ancient neu-tered tom. He is loved and well cared for. These “strays” are not so lucky.

This is the information I received last summer when trying to deal with the cat and kittens:

•If you live within the town of Creston, you should call bylaw enforce-ment. The Pet Adoption and Welfare Society (PAWS) has no responsibility within town limits.

•If you feed these starving cats, you own them. PAWS supplied me with food for them, then refused them shel-ter when I caught them.

•If you catch them, you are respon-sible to have the veterinarian check them at your own expense. PAWS gave me medicine to treat tapeworms. The vet later informed me the medication was for roundworms and would have no effect on tapeworms.

•You can call Cranbrook or Trail SPCA, but it is not their jurisdiction.

•I was also referred to the Creston Spay Neuter Animal Program (SNAP) for neutering. Cats must be six months old, which was fine for the mother. A donation was expected in Creston, with lower rates in Bonners Ferry. The moth-er rebred during this time.

In desperation, I scooped up the mother and kittens and took them to PAWS. They were refused. After a heat-ed discussion (on my part) with the volunteer on duty and the past-presi-dent, I was asked to leave the premises. And if I left the cats, I would be charged with abandonment! What a futile exercise in frustration!

History repeats itself. A cat with five kittens (now four) is here. I emailed PAWS and the response was the same as last year: not its problem.

This whole situation stinks. These are not my cats and if I try to treat them in a humanitarian way, I will be penalized. I am extremely disappointed with PAWS’ lack of commitment to shelter these cats. Its website clearly states: “PAWS is a reg-istered charity committed to finding safe, loving forever homes for abused, aban-doned, stray or unwanted animals in the Creston Valley.” I am angry with the Regional District of Central Kootenay and the Town of Creston for not co-oper-atively working together to create one bylaw to cover the entire valley. Cats don’t have boundaries.

And I especially hate being put in a position where I have to make a choice of life or death for these cats. It sucks.

Without intervention, the life expec-tancy of these cats is limited. If they survive starvation, predators will kill them. I have offered to catch them if PAWS could assure me they would be taken. PAWS is refusing any commit-ment. I simply cannot have five cats in a cage with no place to go.

To the Editor:I sure enjoyed Lorne’s recent column

on headline bloopers (“Black and White and Red in the Face”, Aug. 13).

What gets me is something I hear quite often: “So-and-so will be per-forming in front of a live audience.” In my experience I have always per-formed in front of a live audience, save those occasions at funerals at the ceme-tery. Where do these others generally perform? If there is an audience, may we assume it is live?

Some airhead announcers also add: “A live recording.” Really? How else?

First off, a correction to my last column where I was describing our pool shutdown procedure, which included draining the pools. I have to admit the column was written a week or two in advance

while camp-ing on the shores of Lake Kooca-nusa in 3 7 - d e g r e e heat — deplorable condit ions that caused me to tempo-

rarily take leave of my senses. We actually did not drain the two main pools and had discussed it as a potential situation in our shutdown pre-planning back when the water restriction first went on in June. We recently spoke with Robin Douville, the works superintendent at the Arrow Creek water system which is the headwater for Creston and Erickson’s water, who gave us a good education on flows, forecasts and recovery rates.

We did discuss various options with him includ-ing slow fill rates to reduce impact to the system but in the end we elected to just drop the pool levels slightly (six to eight inches) to access some trouble spots and develop some workarounds for some of the underwater areas. We are still doing all the maintenance to the filters, pumps, piping and controls that is required, as well as all the other cleaning and painting above sea level. I look at it as being part of a community, a good one, where it appears most people respect the situation we are in with our current state of water supply — evi-denced by a lot of brown lawns and droopy plants. Sprinkle in a generous portion of anxiety as we looked out our windows to see fires burning way too close for comfort and water jumped up a few notches in importance as one realized this is the main ingredient our firefighters use to keep us safe. OK, enough baking metaphors.

Also, as part of a community, some hard deci-sions have to be made about keeping facilities open for its citizens, such as the pool and splash park. Yes, they do use some resources but the benefit in doing so is the availability to everyone, as evi-denced by the numbers using them for some relief from our scorching temperatures. We have seen many people in the community complex that just came in to escape the high temperatures, reading, relaxing or checking emails in the relative coolness of the lobby. Recently, we have people coming in to get away from the smoky conditions; while we are far from airtight, we do have a pretty solid building envelope and a ventilation system where the air has to pass through filters before it gets inside. In reality, for a building this size and combination of ages, we have better airtightness and filtration than most buildings in the area so keep that in mind if you can’t get your house cool or your eyes from burning — at least for a brief period of respite.

Don’t forget to come and check out the Creston Valley Fall Fair on Sept. 11 and 12. It is always a good time to see displays, entertainment, friends and neighbours. And how many fall fairs do you get a chance to see? I noticed the maintenance crew was test fitting some of the flooring in the corners this morning as we leave the ice in and cover it with Homasote floor for this event. We’ll see you there!

Neil Ostafichuk is the recreation supervisor at the Creston and District Community Complex.

I am fairly certain that the motto for politics is that you won’t ever win no matter what you do. Many times as a council we spend a lot of time, energy and stress making decisions that are in the best interest of the Town of Creston. Usually with the most important decisions there is next to no feedback provided by the public, but for the items that aren’t really important we get a lot of flak.

One of the biggest successes that I feel our council has accom-plished so far is our recent revital-ization tax exemption bylaw. In previous years, the Town of Creston has offered a revitaliza-tion tax exemption that made it so that you didn’t pay the town por-tion of your taxes for the first five years, and then the five years after that you only paid 50 per cent of the town portion of your taxes for a new construction in town limits or for a large renova-tion to a current structure for commercial developments. The exemption was somewhat con-strained to the hotel service industry, which saw places like the Ramada and Creston Hotel take advantage of this revitaliza-tion tax exemption.

Our new revitalization tax exemption will be available for any new commercial venture build or large renovation in Creston. It is not limited to the hotel industry this time around. It is part of council’s prerogative to provide a good and fair atmo-

sphere for economic development in the town. This bylaw has been in the works throughout this year and was adopted on June 23 at our regular council meeting.

In keeping with the theme up above there has been very little public input regarding this new bylaw. That is because this is more of a big picture item that could possibly have some very positive consequences and it is not sexy at all, whereas there have been many really small issues, which often aren’t even the Town of Creston’s responsibility, that as councillors we get stopped about and some-one complains to us for quite a few minutes.

I had a recent experience like this. My family and I were out and about and someone took it upon themselves to complain to me about something the town should be doing, but wasn’t. Since this happens often, I try and direct them to the appropriate channels to get this issue resolved. If some-one has an issue and contacts me regarding it, I will do my best to get the issue resolved and most

often times will find success. Except this person didn’t want a solution, they just wanted to complain. I am not going to use specifics about what the complaint was for, as I don’t want to embarrass someone or call them out, but this is a regular occur-rence that I run up against as a councilor: People just want to complain without want-ing a solution. I don’t have an issue with someone bringing up issues to me; it is very important as a councillor to know these things and I really enjoy helping to resolve these issues. But it can be very frustrating when someone just wants to complain about something, especially because I am a prob-lem solver. Complaining just for the sake of complaining is a waste of everyone’s time, but I will always listen.

This has been the biggest challenge so far as a council, where often we deal with very important issues that the general public isn’t interested in, but is so important for the town to embark on. Other times we deal with complaints just for the sake of com-plaining about, most of the time, very insig-nificant items. I am not complaining because this is a thankless job, I am only highlight-ing the importance of receiving good con-structive input from town residents.

We do a very good job of representing Creston residents with our current council because we have a rock star council right now. I am not sure who would play the drums, maybe Ron Toyota, but as a council we are doing a very good job looking out for the Town of Creston and planning for the future. We are not perfect, but we work really hard at making the “boring” deci-sions.

If you would like more information regard-ing the revitalization tax exemption bylaw, contact the town at 250-428-2214. If you have any issues regarding the Town of Creston (even if you just want to complain), you can email me at kevin.boehmer@creston.ca.

Kevin Boehmer is a first-term councillor for the Town of Creston.

P F GW ,

In my last column (July 30), I talked about the stresses teenagers face as they transi-tion to adulthood. Adding to that challenging journey, which all teens must make, is

the fact that 75 per cent of all mental health conditions show up in the teen and early adult years.

Today we talk about bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, which tend to first show their signs and symptoms between the ages of 13 and 25. If you are worried that your child or teen may be showing signs of a mental illness, talk to your fam-ily doctor or contact the Child and Youth Mental Health pro-gram provided by the Ministry of Children and Family Development in your region. Call Service BC at 1-800-661-8773 for the MCFD office near-est to you.

Bipolar: Originally called manic depression, bipolar dis-order is marked by extreme shifts in mood, energy and activity levels, ranging from

severe depression on one side to mania on the other.

During a manic episode, the youth will be highly talk-ative, energetic, full of ideas and enthusiasms, may take

risks or behave impulsively, and may even become jittery, sleepless and irritable. During a depressive episode, the youth is very tired or feels slowed down, is very sad and hopeless, has a hard time concen-trating or making decisions, and may

also be restless or irritable. Different types of bipolar

disorder have different extremes in moods and differ-ent speeds of cycling between them, but most high or low episodes last several days or longer. Sometimes the extremes in moods can bring on psychosis — losing touch with reality and having hallu-cinations (hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, or feeling things that are not actually there) and delusions (a strong, illogical belief, such as feeling one’s actions are being con-trolled by others.) Early psy-chosis intervention (EPI) is very successful. An EPI pro-gram exists in many communi-ties in each health authority in BC (visit earlypsychosis.ca).

Bipolar disorder is known to run in families, but most indi-

viduals who have a family member with the disorder will never develop this condition — some other trigger is often needed and research is not yet clear what that is. Many famous and highly successful individu-als have bipolar disorder, in part because the manic phase can produce extreme creativity and productivity. Yet the disor-der can cause havoc with fami-ly relationships, jobs and finances. Substance use, partic-ularly excessive alcohol con-sumption, is common with the disorder, especially during a manic phase.

Significant mood changes can be stabilized with various medications, or their combina-tions, plus different types of psychotherapy. With long-term treatment, productive lives can be lived. Attention to good sleep, healthy diet and exercise, regular routines, and avoid-ance of mind-altering substanc-es, along with medication and therapy, can minimize the number of mood episodes.

For more information, visit the Mood Disorders Asso-ciation of BC at mdabc.net and heretohelp.bc.ca.

Schizophrenia: Perhaps no mental health diagnosis causes parents and youth more fear than schizophrenia, which is marked by losing touch with reality and experiencing hallu-cination, delusions, disorgani-zation and cognitive impair-ment, such as poor judgement

and decision-making. But the out-look need not be bleak; treatment works, and recovery and a return to good functioning occurs regularly.

About one per cent of all British Columbians have this illness and it affects men and women equally, but first symptoms often appear for men between ages 16 and 20, and women between ages 20 and 30.

While schizophrenia also runs in families, it usually needs more than just genetics to arise, although exactly what else triggers it is not fully known. Sometimes it occurs in individuals with no family history, perhaps as a result of a subtle or past brain injury.

In the last decade, new antipsy-chotic medication and the introduc-tion of EPI programs are greatly helping newly diagnosed people with schizophrenia. Like bipolar disorder, along with the right com-bination of medication, good sleep, healthy diets, regular exercise, established routines and avoiding mind-altering substances will help those with the diagnosis live full and productive lives.

In fact, dynamic and well-spo-ken individuals like B.C.’s Brent Seal, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia while a university

student and now runs a company called Seal Wellness, are helping change the face of schizophrenia. Seal, a mountain climber, ultra-mar-athoner, wellness coach and inspi-rational speaker, as well as others who are thriving after a schizophre-nia diagnosis, show that good, meaningful lives are possible with the right treatment.

For more information about schizophrenia in B.C., see earlypsy-chosis.ca, mindcheck.ca, the BC Schizophrenia Society (bcss.org) and the Canadian Mental Health Association B.C. chapter (cmha.bc.ca).

Dr. David Smith is an adolescent and adult psychiatrist and the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health. This series of columns on common child and youth mental health issues is a project of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substances Use Collaborative. The Collaborative involves multiple indi-viduals, organizations and ministries all working together to increase the number of children, youth, and their families receiving timely access to men-tal health services and support in the Interior Health and Vancouver Island regions. The Collaborative is jointly funded by Doctors of BC and the Government of BC.

Whereas, engaging children and youth in literacy programming ensures the best possible environment for getting a head start on literacy and lifelong learning; and

Whereas, solid literacy skills are vital to our country’s social and economic development; literacy offers all Canadians an opportunity to make a substantial contribution to the education, growth and prosperity of Canada; and

Whereas, many organizations across Vancouver, British Columbia,and Canada, including the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy,demonstrate daily - through the work in their community - theircommitment creating a culture of community-based literacy andlearning.

Be Smart, Be Safe

Before social media became so prevalent, instances of bul-lying were somewhat easy to recognize. However, with a good majority of children now engaged in digital network-ing and social media, bullying may not end with the ringing

of the school bell, and evidence of bullying may not be so readily apparent.According to Cyberbullying statistics from the i-SAFE foundation, more than half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have en-gaged in cyberbullying. More than 80 percent of teens use a mobile phone regularly, making it the most popular form of technology and a common medium for repeated cyberbul-lying.Cyberbullying takes place through electronic technology and differs from traditional forms of bullying. Cyberbul-lying can occur via text messaging, blogging, updates to social media sites and/or phone conversations. What makes cyberbullying more diffi cult to detect and remedy than traditional bullying is that sometimes this type of bullying is veiled in secrecy.Those who engage in cyberbullying can create aliases and accounts under false names, allowing them to covertly engage in bullying behavior. As a result, tracking down bul-lies can be challenging.Although cyberbullying is on the rise, there are some things that parents and children can do to help put a stop to such unfortunate instances.* Parents who feel their child is not emotionally ready for the responsibility of a digital device can hold back on purchas-ing a smartphone or choose one with very limited features. Some schools set strict limits on phone usage at school, and chil-dren who go only from school to home and vice versa may not have the need for an “emergency phone” that can open up a window for trouble.* Adolescents and teens should feel

comfortable talking with their parents without the fear of reprimand. Otherwise, they may hide instances of cyberbul-lying or not know how to broach sensitive topics like bully-ing. Parents can engage in conversation with their children often and stress that the doors of communication are always open.* Teens should be made aware that cyberbullying is a very real occurrence and is not just other kids “having fun” or “joking.” If behavior is repetitive and hurtful, it should be made public and addressed.* Parents can monitor and limit their children’s personal accounts. Some smartphone and tablet applications can be mirrored on the main account, enabling parents to see incoming text or video messages. * A laptop or desktop computer should be placed in a shared space so that usage can be monitored. Parents can restrict tablet or smartphone usage to public areas.* When online, children should be advised not to share personal information. Social media sites may be used by

Recognizing cyberbullying

Adults should remain diligent in monitoring what kids are doing online. Bullying can take place through digital devices, such as mobile phones.

The benefi ts of a healthy diet are clear and well documented. In addition to providing the nutrients a growing body needs, consuming a balanced diet helps children maintain a healthy weight. Obesity continues to be a growing problem among school-aged children and can contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and many other adverse medical conditions.

Children attending school will eat at least one meal away from home each day. A healthy lunch provides sound nutrition to give students energy to do well in school and for the rest of the day. Children who do not eat well at lunch may have diffi culty concentrating, while others may feel sluggish or tired.

As part of the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, the United States National School Lunch Program was revised to guarantee healthy, nutri-tionally sound choices, as established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for lunch. America’s school menus were altered to be healthier than ever, including more fruits and vegetables while

limiting calories. Despite some controversy through the years, including some students say-ing the smaller portions and food choices aren’t always satisfying, states suffering from high child obesity rates have seen marked improvements.

Canada is one of the few leading industrialized countries that does not have a national nutrition strategy to implement healthy school lunches. It’s estimated that only 10 to 15 percent of Canadian children have access to school meals. These meals are not provided by a well-funded national pro-gram, but by a patchwork of individual volunteer efforts, some provincial government funding and corporate donations.

Whether students purchase lunch from school or bring lunch from home, there are ways to guaran-tee a more diverse offering and better nutrition. Here are some guidelines to follow.

* Offer nutrient-dense foods. Foods should contribute to the daily recommended amounts of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Provide a selection of foods, such as lean protein,

whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, that will give children the nutrients they need. Nutrient-dense foods also help kids feel fuller, longer.

* Limit fat intake. Avoid foods that do not get their fat from polyun-saturated and monoun-saturated fats. Saturated fats can lead to obesity and clogged arteries. The American Heart Associa-tion recommends kids get no more than 25 to 35 percent of their calo-ries from fat. Fish, nuts and olives are healthy fat sources.

* Let kids choose some of their food. Allow

bullies to gather sensitive informa-tion about a person that can be used against them at a later time. Children should be urged to keep passwords secret and to never give information such as birthdays, phone numbers and addresses to people who aren’t close friends. Friend lists should be restricted to only those people students interact with frequently to minimize the chance for bullying or other inappropriate behavior.

* Teens who have been bullied can keep evidence of the bullying and may benefi t from talking with a counselor. Cyberbullying is a growing concern for educators and parents and has far-reaching implications. Getting smart about this phenomenon can help staunch new cases of online bullying. FP145127

Healthy Choices for Healthy Kids!

1000 Northwest Blvd Creston • 250-428-2555

Everything you need for great

kids to pick some of the healthy foods they will be eating. Giving kids a say in their diets will make them more likely to enjoy their lunches and cut back on snack foods. Eating meals regularly will keep energy levels up during school and make kids less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks to fi ll hunger gaps.

* Make small changes that add up. Switch-ing from white bread to whole grain breads, and opting for low-fat dairy products instead of full-fat dairy products can make a world of difference. Kids may not notice a change in texture or fl avor, and many of kids’ favorite foods, such as chicken nuggets, pizza and macaroni and cheese, can be made with healthier ingredients.

* Remember, bever-ages count, too. Giving children a healthy lunch and then packing a sugar-fi lled, high-calorie drink negates your efforts. Calo-ries from beverages can quickly add up. Water is always the best option for a healthy drink. Low-fat milk and real fruit juice consumed in moderation also make healthy alterna-tives to sugary beverages.

Offering healthy school lunches is an important step to raising healthy kids. New guidelines and offerings make it easier for kids to get the nutrition they need for their growing bodies. BS147342

This school lunch can be made more healthy by swapping the white bread with whole grain bread and choosing low-fat milk over a sugary juice pouch.

BY BOB EWASHENBC Senior Games Society

On Aug. 25, upwards of 3,000 people, aged 55 and higher, trav-

elled from all parts of British Columbia, converging on North Vancouver to join in an extraor-dinary celebration.

The event, running until Aug.

29, was the annual 55+ BC Games, run by the BC Seniors Games Society (BCSGS),where individu-als were involved in a friendly competition in a total of 27 events,

ranging from intensely physical to the exactingly intellectual.

The tradition of the games began in 1988 and has continued to the present without interruption.

Creston is a part of Zone 7 (East Kootenay) and has been involved in the games, primarily in track and field, cycling and in tennis.

In 1993, the BC Seniors Games were held in Cranbrook, where 1,723 participants com-peted in 20 medal sports and two dem-onstration sports.

In the past four years, Zone 7 partici-pants have earned 138 gold silver and bronze medals, excelling in track and field, bowling and cribbage, among many other categories. Participants from Creston have brought home medals in track and field and in tennis. Zone 7 routinely sends 35-45 competitors to all parts of the province .

Among these BCSGS members, there has been a dedicated cadre of volunteers who serve as executive members and main-tain functions includ-ing the duties of secre-tarial, fundraising, bookkeeping, registra-tion, playdown, chair-manship, sport co-ordination and a few others. Though num-bers are small, these tasks have always been accomplished in exemplary fashion.

This work has encouraged many of our local citizens to remain socially and physically active, con-tributing mightily to the health and well-being of our communities.

This year, the organi-zation is facing a seri-ous challenge that could present a serious obsta-cle to the continuation of this important work. Valuable executive members, after years of dedicated service, are retiring. At the same time, the communities of Cranbrook and Kimberley are bidding to host the games in the near future. Their chances are good, as there is a serious com-mitment by our provin-cial organization to have more of the games hosted in Interior parts of the province. This is clearly the wave of the future. It is an exciting time for Zone 7 and other rural communi-ties, and a great oppor-tunity for Crestonites to experience the games.

The zone’s annual general meeting will be held in Cranbrook AGM in October, allowing a good representation of 55-plus athletes from Creston. For more infor-mation, contact Bob Ewashen at 250-428-5088 or beewashen@gmail.com.

More to Creston Valley art than just paintings

BY VAL VAN DER POEL

I am always amazed by the fact that the Creston Valley doesn’t have a wide-ranging reputation as an arts commu-nity. Maybe we don’t have a large publicly funded arts cen-tre like Kimberley or Castlegar, maybe we don’t have a school of the arts like Nelson — what we do have is artists. We have artists in so many different media that Creston should be known far and wide as THE spot for art!

Although I normally only write about the Art in the Library and Art in the Chamber displays, this time I decided to expand my scope and, hope-fully, yours too. Art is more than paintings; it is theatre, music, pottery, jewelry making and more.

We are lucky to have a won-derful theatre group in the Footlighters; the Creston Valley Music Teachers’ Association and the Creston Concert Society give us a variety of music throughout the year and community coffee houses will soon be offering their brand of entertainment. We have clubs

and guilds where artists and artisans share their knowledge: the Creston Art Club, Valley Mudders, the embroidery guild and the quilters guild, to name a few. There are new and old galleries and studios where you can see artists at work, as well as seeing a variety of won-derful art and craft pieces. Many of the local restaurants and both of the book stores display art by local artists and, of course, Highway 3A from Creston to Kootenay Bay offers a number of places to see and purchase art.

And, thanks to the Community of Creston Arts Council, the Creston Valley Public Library and the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Centre, we have the Art in the Library and the Art in the Chamber displays where valley artists can share their art with the community.

The new Art in the Library show starts on Aug. 29 and features three valley artists, Shelly Lamb, Eleanor Van de Bogart and Karen Mayers. Be sure to stop by and check out the display which continues until Oct. 31.

The Art in the Chamber exhibit will run from Sept. 14-Nov. 6 and includes a fabulous array of art from 10 artists, and a selection of work from the Valley Mudders. A number of the artists in this show have never exhibited at the cham-ber before and it will be a delight to see their work in this venue.

So, even without a dedicated arts and culture centre, Creston Valley residents can still enjoy wonderful art, music and theatre, and I hope they will!

Artists interested in exhibiting their art in the Creston library or the chamber of commerce during 2016 can contact Val van der Poel at 250-866-5772.

RIONDEL PARKS, RECREATION & COMMUNITY SERVICE SOCIETY

Squealing, splashing, jumping, laughing, oohs and ahs were the sounds heard from the new swim dock area at the Riondel Park and Campground. Replacing the old swim dock with a new 14-by-14-foot dock from Graham Marine was much anticipated by those who watched the arrival and installa-tion in mid-July.

Riondel Park and Campground held

a special water ribbon cutting ceremony Aug. 15 at the campground beach.

Those in attendance were Riondel Parks, Recreation and Community Service Society members and commu-nity members, as well as regional District of Central Kootenay Area A director Garry Jackman.

Boris Kwasnycia was very instru-mental in researching and recommend-ing to the board this great addition to the campground beach, and he cut the ribbon, which was held by young local

and camping swimmers.Deberah Shears and Mary Donald

from the Many Bays Community Band were on hand to serenade guests with music. Under smoky, gray skies all enjoyed a cool Dixie cup following the short ceremony.

An official announcement was made for a $750 donation, which will be forth-coming from Teck Resources Ltd., Trail Operations. These monies will be used for future weather protection screening for the North Bay Pavilion.

New swimming dock in RiondelSubmitted

Young Riondel campers and swimmers held the ribbon to open the new dock in July.

The Creston Valley Advance reminds youto report any suspicious calls to

Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre 1-888-495-8501

SCAM MYTHBUSTERSBusting these common myths

will minimize your chances of being scammed.• All companies, businesses and organizations are legitimate because they are licensed and monitored by the government: This is not always true. While there are rules about setting up and running a business or a company in Canada, scammers can easily pretend to have approval when they don’t. Even businesses that are licensed could still try to scam you by acting dishonestly.• All Internet websites are legitimate: This is not always true. Websites are quite easy and cheap to set up. The scammers can easily copy a genuine website and trick you into believing it is legitimate.• There are short cuts to wealth that only a few people know: This is not always true. Ask yourself the question: if someone knew a secret to instant wealth, why would they be telling their secret to others?• Scams involve large amounts of money: This is not always true. Sometimes scammers target a large number of people and try to get a small amount of money from each person.• Scams are always about money: This is not always true. Some scams are aimed at stealing personal information from you.

GOLDEN RULESRemember these golden rules to help you beat the scammers.• Always get independent advice if an offer involves money, personal information, time or commitment.• There are no guaranteed get-rich-quick schemes—sometimes the only people who make money are the scammers.• Do not agree to offers or deals right away. If you think you have spotted a great opportunity, insist on time to get independent advice before making a decision.• Do not hand over money or personal information, or sign anything until you have done your homework and checked the credentials of the company that you are dealing with.• Do not rely on glowing testimonials: fi nd solid evidence of a company’s success.• Log directly on to a website that you are interested in rather than clicking on links provided in an email.• Never send money, or give credit card or online account details to anyone you do not know and trust.• If you spot a scam or have been scammed, get help. Contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, the Competition Bureau or your local police for assistance.

Scammers are imaginative and manipulative.They know how to push your buttons to produce the response they want.

Trained volunteers provide compassionate and emotional support to terminally ill patients in the home, hospital, or care facility.

We also visit the chronically ill and shut-ins.

increase on basic rates.ICBC president and CEO Mark

Blucher said the initial calculations suggest the maximum 6.7 per cent basic rate hike is required, but pledged to work with the govern-ment to find ways to reduce that number by Oct. 30, when the formal rate application is to be filed with the BC Utilities Commission.

He said ICBC is grappling with “an unexpected and rapid escalation in the number of injury claims being reported to us in recent months.”

ICBC's bodily injury claim costs, which cover pain and suffering, future care and loss of wages, are forecast to hit $2.3 billion this year, up 64 per cent since 2008.

Higher legal and medical costs, more represented claims and more complex, catastrophic claims lead-ing to bigger settlements are among the factors blamed for the jump.

Injury claims are up 10 per cent from a year ago even though the number of crashes is unchanged. ICBC says more fraud is one poten-tial explanation, as well as more minor soft tissue injury claims.

If regulators approve the request, this will be the fourth straight year of basic insurance premium increas-es following hikes of 11.2 per cent in 2012 and 5.2 per cent in each of 2013 and 2014.

ICBC has simultaneously reduced its optional insurance rates

— on which it competes against private insurers — in five of the last seven years.

ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said the net effect is the average customer has seen their overall auto insurance costs rise by less than 10 per cent since 2008.

Grossman said this year’s required increase would actually be “on the order of 12 per cent” were it not for the constraint of the rate smoothing policy.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said even the maximum 6.7 per cent this year is too much.

“We believe that’s not acceptable and the rate can and should be lower than that,” he said Monday.

Stone appointed ferries com-missioner and former deputy min-ister Gord Macatee to help ICBC pare the hike.

Asked if the province might reduce the annual $160-million annual dividend it extracts from ICBC each year, Stone said those transfers are from ICBC’s excess cap-ital on its optional insurance busi-ness and do not affect basic rates.

He acknowledged an optional rate cut would help ease the pain for the majority of motorists who also buy their optional coverage from ICBC, but made no commit-ment to enable that.

The first portion of the pro-gram will be dedicated to the reading of children’s material. After the intermission, the pro-gram will focus on more adult-focused readings. If you wish to read, there will be a sign-up sheet at the door, but it is high-

ly recommended you reserve your spot in advance by con-tacting Creston community lit-eracy coordinator Joan Hedstrom at 250-435-0388 or jhedstrom@cbal.org or Signe Miller at kenandsigne@gmail.com. Readings should fit with-in a three- to five-minute time frame.

The Big Read features spe-cial guest readers such as Creston Mayor Ron Toyota and Lower Kootenay Band Chief Jason Louie. Hear Jim Jacobsen and Alison Bjorkman read selections from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s infamous

business guide, the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition. There will be children’s tales from Aaron Francis and Ellie Reynolds. And what surpris-es will Creston Museum man-ager Tammy Hardwick have up her sleeve?

At this event, the sixth annual Creston Community Literacy Award will be hand-ed out. This award is given to someone in the community who has made a contribution to literacy. If you know of someone you’d like to nomi-nate for next year’s award, contact Hedstrom.

As the month unfolds, CBAL will be planning our pro-grams for the 2015-16 year. It will continue with familiar pro-grams: Baby Goose in partnership with the Creston Valley Library; Making Connections, a pro-gram for parents of school-aged children to learn how to help their children read and learn; and, Telling our Life Stories and more.

It is also looking to add new programs this year, including a drop-in computer skills practice lab on Wednesday mornings, and a program on doc-uments and forms in the workplace. All of the programs are free.

How can you help? There’s a few ways. For one, CBAL is always interested to know what the literacy needs are in this com-munity. If you see a gap, let it know.

Second, volunteer with CBAL. We need volunteer English as a second language tutors, adult literacy tutors and children’s tutors for a children’s reading program at participating local schools.

Third, make a dona-tion. You’ll have a chance to do this in October when CBAL partners with the Creston Valley Advance for the annual Reach a Reader fundraiser. Donations from Reach a Reader stay in the community and fund local CBAL programs.

Big Read making a big deal out of literacyCOLUMBIA BASIN ALLIANCE

FOR LITERACY

You’ll notice in this paper a proc-lamation (page 11) of September as literacy month in Creston. What is literacy and why is the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) making a big deal of it?

The answer is simply because literacy affects every aspect of our lives. Literacy skills include read-ing, writing, speaking, listening and thinking. Literacy is a big deal because literacy skills allow us to reach our full potential in both in our public and personal lives, impacting our economic sta-

tus, our quality of life and even our health.

CBAL is making a big deal out of literacy in September and start-ing it off with a celebration of reading in public — a read-aloud open mike night dubbed the Big Read. Reading is usually a solitary activity, done in private. Rarely do we get to share the pleasure of reading with others. CBAL — a non-profit literacy organization serving 17 communities in the Columbia Basin and Boundary region — is hoping to change that, at least for one night.

CBAL is asking community members to come together to cele-

GREG NESTEROFFNelson Star

The last two installments in this series (Aug. 13 and 27) looked at the ori-gin of Kuskonook (or is it Kuskanook?) on the south end of Kootenay Lake. No matter which way you spell it, the name sounds remarkably similar to another local place name: Kuskanax Creek at Nakusp.

Although they’d appear to be derived from the same word, Kuskanax is in the heart of Sinixt terri-tory and Kuskonook is closer to Ktunaxa territory.

Kuskanax has also been spelled many different ways — and it took a long time to decide whether it was a creek or a river. The earliest mention is on Walter Moberly’s 1866 map, where he calls it Kushenox. James Bissett of the Hudson’s Bay Co. recorded it in his diary in 1868 as Koshkenox. Gilbert Malcolm Sproat’s Report of the Kootenay Country, dated Feb. 7, 1884, refers to “Koos-koon-axe Creek.”

George Dawson, writing in his Report on a Portion of the West Kootanie [sic] District, British Columbia, 1889 said: “A small river named Koos-ka-nax flows in. This name, meaning ‘long point’ is descriptive of the delta-flat which has been formed by the stream …”

A legal ad by the Minister of Mines published in the Nelson Miner of March 24, 1894, also referred to the “Koos-ka-nax River” although the 1892 British Columbia Gazetteer called it “Koos-Ka-Nax Creek.”

A circa 1920 CPR brochure called The Lake District of Southern British Columbia called it Kooskanux Creek while a circa 1931 brochure entitled From The Lake Route of British Columbia for Tourists Featuring the Arrow Lakes District spelled it Kuskanax in one instance and Kooskanax in another. Ethnographer James Teit transcribed it in 1930 as ku’sxEna’ks.

In any event, officially it’s Kuskanax Creek and Kuskanax Mountain.

In First Nations’ Ethnography and Ethnohistory in British Columbia’s Lower Kootenay/Columbia Hydropower Region, Dorothy Kennedy and Randy Bouchard didn’t consider a connection to Kuskonook, which is believed to come from the Ktunaxa phrase for “end of the lake.”

Rather, they state Kuskanax is an angliciza-tion of the Okanagan-Colville term kwusxenaks which means “long point; point of land sticking out.” Of their Sinixt informants, only one woman was familiar with the name, though she didn’t know what place it referred to.

Teit included it on a list of “old villages and main camps” but didn’t give a more precise loca-tion. However, Kennedy and Bouchard cite a

Greg NesteroffKuskanax Creek at Nakusp has been so named since the 1860s or earlier, although the present spelling doesn’t appear until the early 1930s. No definitive connection has been established to the similarly-named Kuskonook on Kootenay Lake.

Nelson author Eileen Delehanty Pearkes, who has written extensively on local First Nations, doesn’t have much doubt the two words could be related: “The Arrow Lakes/Sinixt and Yaqan Nukiy (Creston Ktunaxa) are known to have intermarried. They share cultural traits that are distinct from the other Ktunaxa tribes and similar to the Salishan Kalispel, Sinixt, Skoyelpi.”

She says those Salish women or men intermarried into the Yaqan

Nukiy tribe could well have influ-enced the origins, though she doesn’t know that anyone has stud-ied the subject.

“It is entirely possible that this term was applied to more than one location,” she says. “More than any-thing, this mystery indicates how rapidly and thoroughly the indige-nous use and history of the region was overwhelmed by settlers com-ing from elsewhere. So much infor-mation has been lost.”

Kuskanax and Kuskonook: Is there a link?

1970 letter by former MP Bert Herridge who indicated he “went to school in Nakusp with several Lakes Indian children who lived in wig-wams on the Kuskanax Point.”

No one appears to have remarked before on the similarity of Kuskanax and Kuskonook, although writing in Cominco Magazine in September 1942 about a trip on the Arrow Lakes, Ian Nicholson said: “We passed a number of boats, all taking their limit at the mouth of the Kuskinook creek …”

(The latter spelling also shows up in “The Lady of Kuskinook,” a chapter in Ralph Connor’s 1906 novel The Doctor: A Tale of the Rockies. Connor was a pseudonym for the Rev. Charles William Gordon [1860-1937], a founder of the United Church of Canada.)

So is there a connection? Or is it just an odd coincidence?

Environment minister says no to Jumbo

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY

Advance Staff

Michelle Mungall said on Friday

that the decision to stop develop-

ment of the controversial Jumbo

Resort project was the right one.

Earlier in the week, Mary Polak,

provincial environment minister,

announced that she has determined

that developers had not made the

“substantial progress” required by

their environmental certificate. She

declared that approval to proceed

was now void.

“I wasn’t surprised,” the MLA

for Nelson-Creston said. “I felt it

was the only way things could go if

the Minister of Environment was

doing her job.”

"I have determined that the proj-

ect, in my reasonable opinion, had

not been substantially started by

Oct. 12, 2014," Polak wrote in her

10-page decision. "While it is clear

that some construction has been

started, I am not convinced that the

physical activity undertaken on the

various components meets the

threshold of a substantially started

project."Jumbo Glacier Resort proponents

first received an environmental cer-

tificate allowing the development,

which had been in the planning stage

since about 1990, in 2004. A five-year

extension was granted in 2009.

During that period, the provincial

government worked to help the proj-

ect along by designating the unpopu-

lated area as a municipality, appoint-

ing a mayor and council to take on

responsibilities including creation of

an Official Community Plan. The

council has been receiving more than

$200,000 annually to operate.

“Not surprisingly, I am disap-

pointed,” Jumbo Glacier Resort

Mayor Greg Deck told the Invermere

Valley Echo last week. “I would

presume that the proponent will be

meeting with the province to under-

stand more fully the rational and

the options, but I am not party to

that process.”Deck said if negotiations between

Jumbo Glacier Ltd and the province

cease, the $1 million that has been

allocated to his council over a five-

year term will likely be reallocated

elsewhere.“We exist to provide a municipal

underpinning to the agreement

between the province and Jumbo

Glacier Resort, and if those neces-

sary agreements are not in place,

then our funding will be in ques-

tion,” Deck said.

While a spokesman said the

development was far from dead,

Mungall said that getting a new

environmental certificate to pro-

ceed won’t be easy.

“The environmental certificate

that expired last fall was issued

based on 20-year-old data that

would not be approved today,” she

said. “And it is important to note

that we are in an era of reconcilia-

tion and relationship-building with

First Nations people. Jumbo is a

sacred place to the Ktunaxa Nation

and to approve the project now

would not be in line with how

Canadian governments are now

moving forward.”

Mungall was emotional when she

pointed out the long fight against

the proposed ski resort and residen-

tial development was waged by a

number of area residents who have

been tenacious in their opposition.

“I give full credit to people of the

Kootenays and First Nations lead-

ers for standing up against the

development for two decades,” she

said. “I am proud to represent some

of these amazing, amazing people.”

She referred to one Invermere

area resident “who drove up that

road every day for years to monitor

the developer’s activity and report

his findings.”The next step for the provincial

government should be to dispose of

the municipal government.

“The NDP caucus is calling for

the government to rescind the order

that created a fake town,” she said.

“There should be no more waste of

taxpayers dollars. Instead, let’s cre-

ate a legacy for the Kootenays. Let’s

start by addressing Johnston’s

Landing. Those residents should

get a buyout program similar to the

one North Vancouver residents

were given in 2005. Now is the

chance to do the right thing. Those

people need their basic needs,

including drinking water, met after

three years in limbo.”

Columbia River Revelstoke MLA

Norm Macdonald, a member of the

NDP caucus, has called for the

removal of concrete work done by

developers in an attempt to start the

project.“When the proponent began to

lay concrete slabs, the point we

made was, is the government sure

the proponent has the capacity to

remove the mess they made? So

now the Ministry needs to insist

that happens so the valley can be

returned to the state it was in.”

Macdonald has been involved in

the Jumbo proposal since he was

Mayor of Golden in 1993. He has

been the area’s MLA since 2005.

“My perspective has always

been that communities have a right

to have significant say on what hap-

pens on the Crown land around

them. In Golden, we had a referen-

dum before Kicking Horse was

developed and it indicated tremen-

dous support. In the Columbia

Valley, that support was never

there.“Then there was the very clear

First Nations interest. They were

very clear on the importance of that

area to them. It’s a huge victory for

the people of this area. I have to

think this is the end of it and we can

move on.
