Students in the Aboriginal education program at Creston Valley schools have been particularly busy lately, putting the finishing touches on their regalia for the School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) youth powwow, which runs tomorrow at the Creston and District Community Complex.

The fourth annual festival is moving there from the Prince Charles Secondary School (PCSS) gym, where it has been held for the last three years, a location it has outgrown.

“We joke about it at times, because we were going to do it for the one time, but it didn't turn out that way,” said Jackie Mynott, the PCSS aboriginal education youth worker. “It is a very important part of our Aboriginal culture, so it is very important to us and oth-ers to keep this part going.”

About two dozen Adam Robertson Elementary School (ARES) students are working on their regalia, which, depending on their grade, consists of shawls, yokes and chokers for the girls, and shirts and drops for the boys. Fewer are working on regalia at the smaller Erickson (EES) and Canyon-Lister (CLES) elementary schools, but the action is no less frenzied, as students sew, cut and iron pieces of their projects.

“The heart and soul of the communi-ty” is the description used by the BC Recreation and Parks Association in

awarding the Facility Excellence Award to Creston and District Community Complex.

The Regional District of Central Kootenay, which operates the facility, should be congratulated for efforts that

“exemplify how much the parks, recre-ation, physical activity and culture sec-tion can contribute to a high quality of life in our communities,” it said.

Rollin’, rollin’, roll-in’ on one wheel.

Joseph Boutilier is delivering a big mes-sage from the small-est vehicle he could find as he travels from Victoria to Ottawa. He rolled into Creston May 5 on his unicycle to promote the need for action on climate change.

“The need for drastic action to address climate change is beyond urgent,” he says. “The crisis is clear. Without substantial efforts to curb carbon emissions, the aver-age surface tempera-ture is likely to rise by more than four degrees [Celsius] within the century, triggering far more colossal, fatal and frequent hurricanes, heat waves, ice storms, floods, fam-ines and typhoons than those that have already rocked the world with unprece-dented violence in the past two decades.”

The Creston Valley Rotary Club is

hosting Wine Art on May 30.

Wine Art is a major fundraiser for the club, with 100 per cent of net proceeds

going to community projects. Over $35,000 has been raised over more than 10 years, and has gone to ele-

mentary school breakfast programs, high school scholar-ships, youth sports, Centennial Park play-ground equipment, hospice room fur-nishings and more.

This sponsored event showcases local and regional wineries, great food and a vari-ety of art to peruse.

This year, Wine Art includes the live and silent auction of art “heads” instead of just an art show. Sixteen artists have created some fabu-lously cool heads that should have everyone in town buying tickets so they can get first dibs on them. The heads encompass a large range of artists and styles from ceramics to mixed media, and so much in between. Imaginations have definitely run wild!

The head show had its first appear-ance during Arts and Culture Week at the Ingham Arts and Culture Centre, and it is now on display at different venues around town. Paintings by Carol Schloss and Eileen Hirota will also be on display as an added feast for the eyes.

Tickets are $45, available from Black Bear Books, Kingfisher Used Books, Ron Toyota or and Creston Valley Rotary Club member.

Lee Rose can tell a story. Known throughout the Creston Valley for his poetry readings, the retired high school teacher has published his second novel, Uncommon Gold.

In Uncommon Gold, Rose (he writes as Richard L. Rose), 81, relates a tale of a high school drama student who suffers an identity crisis after performing Edgar Allen Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart at a provincial competi-tion. Afterward, he sets out on a camping trip to Grim Creek Canyon, where he discovers gold and a ghost. As the story unfolds, Martin Schaffer learns much about himself and finds a girlfriend, too.

“When I was teaching in Houston (B.C.) there was a top-notch drama student who came back from a drama competition in Vancouver — just like in the book,” Rose said on Monday. “He said to me, ‘Mr. Rose, I’m scared that I might not be who I thought was.’

“I gave him some reassur-ance.”

The young man grew into a well-adjusted adult.

“He turned out OK,” Rose said.

But the story left an impres-sion. Before he retired from teaching he started writing a novel based on the story, but eventually set it aside. When he and his wife retired to Yahk, Rose became immersed in com-munity activities and writing poetry. After publishing his first novel, Flame and Feather, in 2010, which sold well locally,

he returned to his earlier effort, which became Uncommon Gold.

“I have a friend in Tucson, Ariz., who is a successful nov-

elist and he helped me shape the book,” he said. “And it was edited by a retired editor who worked at a law firm. She has a very sharp eye.”

That editor, he said, ques-tioned Rose on the use of lengthy quotes from The Tell-Tale Heart, but research revealed the work is now in public domain, so legal issues aren’t a concern.

Born in Missouri, Rose stud-ied English at the University of South Carolina before doing a stint in the U.S. army. He then returned to his post-secondary studies, earning a degree in sci-ence and education. He became a high school teacher and spent years teaching in the Seattle area. Later, he emigrated to Canada and spent eight years teaching in the central-north area of B.C.

In his fiction, he draws from personal experiences and famil-iar geography, inventing as he goes along.

“Believability. That was my biggest burden in writing both books,” he laughed. “For exam-ple, I have never seen a ghost, which kind of inhibited me.”

But he knows people who claim to have seen ghosts, and drew from their experiences.

Similarly, Rose has panned for gold, just as his protagonist in Uncommon Gold does.

“But I never found a moth-erlode, though!”

In Uncommon Gold, Rose has produced an entertaining and literate tale that will appeal to teens and adults. Much like Flame and Feather, which is still

RDCK Resource Recovery FacilitiesVICTORIA DAY

HOURS OF OPERATION

From page 1“This facility and its operations

represent the commitment by our tax-payers to have a first-class long-term facility for all ages throughout our valley,” said John Kettle, RDCK chair and Area B director. “This recreation and fitness complex is second to none in the Kootenays and I want to con-gratulate our staff and operations folks for their efforts resulting in this award.”

That sentiment was echoed by Larry Binks, Area C director and Creston Valley Services Committee chair.

“The success of the recreation cen-tre is largely due to staff,” he said. “Patrons enter and are immediately welcomed by a friendly face.”

Binks pointed out that the complex has also become an attractive venue for events such as the recent Association of Kootenay-Boundary Local Governments conference, the upcoming Cattlemen’s Association of BC meeting and numerous hockey tournaments.

Creston Mayor Ron Toyota, who was a citizen member of the commu-nity complex design team, said the award is gratifying because it acknowledges the efforts of many, starting with a huge push to get out the yes vote in a borrowing referen-dum.

“And our design team — staff and citizens — worked together with the architect and other professionals to come up with a plan that brought our recreation facility to a whole new level, one that we really couldn’t have envisioned when we started out,” said Toyota.

“I think that one meeting in par-ticular led to a shift in thinking that really brought us to where we are today. As I recall, it was Stu Durning, our mainte-nance foreman, who suggested we con-struct the aquatic cen-tre on the west side of the existing facility. We had been working with the idea of put-ting it on the south side, where the old outdoor pool was. That change, and the creation of the com-mon entrance that pro-vides access to all facil-ities, was key. The results speak for them-selves — just look at the parking lot at any time of day, seven days a week. The complex is always busy.”

“We are very pleased at being recog-nized provincially for the outstanding and special facility that the RDCK has developed here in Creston,” said Randy Fediuk, recre-ation manager at the complex. “The award is a huge bouquet to all of the people that have been involved in the development and suc-cess of the CDCC.”

The complex received over 160,000 visits last year, a testa-ment to the vital role the facility plays in the community.

A young woman is dead and three others missing after a canoe mishap on Slocan Lake.

Lily Harmer-Taylor, 19, of New Denver died following resuscitation attempts, and Hayden Kyle, 21, Skye Donnet, 18, and Jule Wiltshire-Padfield, 15, are unaccounted for. They are from the New Denver area, although Kyle grew up in Gibsons.

Police say the youths began their canoe trip shortly after 5 p.m. Saturday. A man who was walking along a trail, near the beach, spotted the partially submerged canoe with

one person holding onto each end. The man ran to a nearby home and called police.

The canoe was approximately 150 meters from shore. Slocan Lake Search and Rescue, with assistance of the BC Ambulance Service and fire department were immediately dispatched to the scene.

The responders located an unconscious young woman inside the canoe, however, could not locate the other two people.

None of the people were wear-ing life jackets and police cannot confirm if there were any in the canoe at the time.

Three teens missing

We have met the enemy and he is us.

The creator of the brilliant comic strip Pogo, Walt Kelly, expanded on the quote in a fore-word to one of his books in 1953: “Traces of nobili-ty, gentleness and cour-age persist in all people, do what we will to stamp out the trend. So, too, do those characteristics which are ugly. It is just unfortunate that in the clumsy hands of a car-toonist all traits become ridiculous, leading to a certain amount of self-conscious expostulation and the desire to join battle. There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us. Forward!”

I wonder how Kelly would have drawn us today, a society which not so long ago purported to value our privacy, and which now hands over our personal information with impunity. Not to real people, of course, but to the Internet, that vast, spidery network of opera-tions large and tiny, all doggedly asking for, getting and collecting information about us.

In recent months, I have come to think of this collection of data as being akin to the dog that chas-es a car. It has no idea what it’s going to do if it actually catches it.

In the same week in which we have heard growing concern about the Canadian government and its agencies amassing data about indi-vidual citizens — with not the

slightest idea of what it might do with it — another story caught my attention.

A European Court of Justice ruled on Tuesday that individuals have the right to have information deleted about them from online databases. The decision raises more questions than answers, though.

The case started in Spain, where a man sued Google for infringing on his privacy because a search of his name brought up an auction notice of his repossessed home from 16 years ago, according to a National Public Radio report from the U.S. The man argued, reason-ably enough, that the matter had been resolved and should no lon-ger be linked to him when his name was searched in Google. Erasing his digital footprint seems like a small victory. But.

In its defense, Google argued that search engines don’t control data, but simply link to information that is already there. Google and other search engines are the mod-

ern equivalent of a common feature of libraries of the not so distant past — the card catalogue. The card cat-alogue didn’t contain much infor-mation, but it directed you to where

you could find it.In its finding, the court

ruled that people could request removal of data related to them that seems to be “inadequate, irrele-vant or no longer relevant, or excessive in relation to the purposes for which they were processed.”

So far, so good. But the court also acknowl-

edged that search engines are “searching automatically, constant-ly and systematically for informa-tion” that they collect, organize and disclose to Internet users.

That is an important consider-ation, because the court also turned down the lawsuit’s request to have the original newspaper report that turns up in the Google search expunged. Why? Because the information was correct when it was printed.

And of course the court had to rule in that way, because that part of the request is tantamount to asking for permission to change history. It is something we all might like to do at one time or another, but it’s mostly silly to even think of as being possible.

So this court has said that the producer of the modern card cata-logue must now remove cards at the request of any of the six billion or so makers of personal history on the planet. Good luck with that.

This is the LifeLorne Eckersley

“Old age is not for sissies,” said Art Linkletter, and I agree! However, I also agree with him that we have choices — lots of them!

For instance, one of the major issues that we face is nutrition. We don’t eat as much as we used to, so we may

require supplementation. The frequent-ly heard comment, “You don’t need supplements, you get all you need from food,” is all well and good, but as I see it, less food means less nutrition. Eating healthy foods may not be enough. Often, drugs are included in the overall management of our health, and drugs can affect appetite and the way we use nutrients in the food we eat. It’s a choice that the individual needs to make.

Drugs are often taken for pain, but may cause some nasty side effects. Take a look at the alternatives in natural heal-

ing — herbal tinctures can at times be just as effective. We have two excellent health food stores in Creston, as well as Tilia Botanicals, which will soon be open for business. Sometimes, milder drugs can be used together with more natural options. Your choice! But check with both the pharmacist and the natu-ral healing practitioner to make sure of compatability.

We tend to “slow down” and quit exercising. Gardening becomes too big a chore, and it’s much easier to sit down with a good book or watch TV. Leg exer-cises can be done by sitting down, as can those for the neck and arms. Easy yoga, Tai Chi aimed at seniors (try the program at the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors) or any other type of exercise will help keep the body muscles in better tone so they don’t hurt so much!

One of the less pleasant effects of aging is bladder leakage. Embarrassed? Well, look around and see other peo-ple with grey hair and consider that many of them are in the same boat. So we have to resort to some pads. So what! Check out the pharmacies and grocery stores — you may be amazed at the selection. And the number of others who are buying light or heavy protection. (I speak from personal experience.)

Memory. There are days when we are not sure where it went! Again, know that the rest of us “elderly” people have trouble with recalling what is in our memory banks. Embarrassment, frus-tration or anger don’t help one little bit. In fact, those negative reactions to for-getting just make the situation worse. Try to accept the fact that it really doesn't matter if we have to take more time for recall. And if the memory still doesn't surface, oh well! We can choose to get upset or simply accept it.

Negative attitudes always lead to unhappiness with ourselves and with others. Positivity is truly the answer, even when we don’t really feel like being positive. I’ve often been told that I don’t look 81 years old or that I don’t dress for my age or that I don’t act like an 81-year-old. Why must I look or act older than I feel? I wear the clothes that are comfortable for me. I am fortunate to have inherited genes that make me look younger than my years. And everyone knows I have attitude.

That’s what it all comes down to: choices and attitude. Accept what is happening, and keep living to the very end. Let’s not be sissies!

The Voice of Experience

Mary Underhill

To the Editor:(Open letter to B.C. Premier Christy

Clark)Yes, farmers need help. B.C. farmers

are struggling to earn enough income from selling their products and they are burning out. That old joke that says, “Did you hear about poor Tom? His father died and left him the farm,” is never more true.

So, on that note, I commend the B.C. provincial government for wanting to step in under the umbrella of due dili-gence and lend a hand. But Bill 24? This isn’t it.

Provincial taxpayers have for years subsidized our farmers by picking up the tab for farmers who bought land in the Agricultural Land Reserve at a reduced cost, paid fewer taxes due to residential and commercial taxpayers making up the difference, and earning income in whole or in part on land where that was permitted.

While 90 per cent of applications for withdrawal from Agricultural Land Reserve were made by developers seeking to create residential develop-ments for supposed homebuyers who were now going to get their food from a reduced arena, the Agricultural Land Commission in many cases denied applications knowing their mandate was steadfast.

Now we have a proposal through Bill 24 to increase bureaucracy with panels, which, according to the act, have “all the powers, duties and functions of the commission in rela-tion to an application or other matter referred to it, and a decision of a panel is for all purposes a decision of the commission.”

Now we have a proposal through Bill 24 to provide supposed opportuni-ties to farmers to augment their farm-

ing income with other business ven-tures that may or may not be agricul-tural, thus sidestepping the original intent of the ALR.

As a taxpayer, I have reviewed the Water Sustainability Act and I took part in its upgraded inception through the many opportunities offered to me. As a member of the advisory planning commission for my area, I engaged in detailed scrutiny of my area’s official community plan and helped to enact changes at the grass roots level that would make our local planning more effective. My time, as well as my tax dollars, partic-ipated in these processes.

So, my question is as follows: Why is the Minister of Energy and Mines, through a core review that has not sought adequate input from the gen-eral public or from farmers them-selves, being allowed, through the introduction of Bill 24, to redesign the structure of the ALC and the ALR?

My suspicion is that it is to deny independence to this body and to degrade its effectiveness.

My suspicion is that it is to provide avenues of approach for resource extraction on farmland.

My suspicion is that it is not to enhance farmers’ efficacy or income, but to make Tom glad he inherited the farm by chopping up farmland in an unprecedented opportunity to make fast profit and the aforementioned sub-sidizing taxpayers can now pay more for their food because it will be grown on less farmland and on land that will cost so much more, which only large conglomerates will be able to afford farming.

We are slowly killing off our farm-ers. They need more help, not annihi-lation.

Let’s interface with all taxpayers as was done for the review of the Water Sustainability Act and find the best ways to help them to be farmers, but successful and profitable farmers. Then, and only then, if it is apparent that some or none of the ideas in Bill 24 are good ones, we can all move for-ward as members of one zone with a

clear vision and purpose to make farm-ing the dream of the future not the nightmare of the past.

Pat MartinCanyon

To the Editor:It was with interest that I read Mr.

David Black’s columns (May 1 and 8). The majority owner of the largest pri-vate newspaper in Canada shares his concerns over what he calls “the great-est threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime.”

I do not agree with him on his solu-tion to ship bitumen from Alberta’s oil-sands to Kitimat by pipeline, refine it to gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, and ship it by tanker fleets to Asia. While a tanker oil spill would be an environmental disaster, as we know from the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska in 1989, a pipe-line rupture spilling bitumen into our lakes, rivers or forests would no less be the cause of environmental destruction. Enbridge, the company proposing the Northern Gateway pipeline, does not have a good record in pipeline safety.

I have spent most of my working life in all phases of welded steel pipe production, quality control, material selection and investigation of pipeline blow-ups. I do believe that even with all the latest scientific and technical advances, accidents will happen.

The real solution is to shut down the oilsands, and no pipeline and tanker traffic will be needed. Yes, Mr. Black, the greatest threat to B.C. and to all life on our precious planet is the climate change that is now upon us. The devel-opment of the oilsands is only one of the many very large contributing factors to this human-created climate disaster.

“Rarely these days do we remember the ‘good guys and gals’ who have made a positive contri-bution to the human race (the vil-lains seem to dominate world his-tory!). However, in a small com-

munity like Creston, residents have the opportunity to leave their positive mark on the evolution of our beautiful valley. It would be a shame if these memories were to disappear.”

These words of wisdom are from longtime valley resident and local historian Phil Thomas, and appear on a new box set of 17 CDs produced by Creston Valley Public Library entitled Voices of the Pioneers. The recordings, many of which were originally broadcast on CIDO 97.7 FM, consist of inter-views that Phil conducted with octogenarians who had grown up in the valley, and whose families

were among the first non-native settlers in the area.

“If you’re a resident of Creston, and you don’t know a Huscroft, you’re probably living in a cave on Goat Mountain!” jokes Phil, as

he introduces Mick Huscroft and Dawn Sommerfeld, whose grandparents William and Jane were the first of the Huscroft clan to settle in the area. Other interviewees include Ed Gatsky and Elizabeth Schuler, Dean Wong, Sharon Brennan, Imme

Askevold, Bill Constable, Harold Floer, Bob and Ethel Vigne, Ian Currie, Luanne Armstrong (the only non-octogenarian among the bunch) and others.

This project began around 2002, a couple of years after Phil retired after 30 years of teaching at Prince Charles Secondary School. “I hate waste,” Phil explains. “I saw this older generation getting older and passing away, and all of the positive differences they had made in their lives were unchronicled and just disappeared from our memory. It’s a travesty.”

I agree. While I’d be foolish to expect these recordings to com-

Tammy Hardwick at Creston Museum for dig-ging up some fabulous photos for the liner notes.

The Voices of the Pioneers 17-CD box set is available for check-out at the library, and we expect to have it available for online streaming through our website soon. A limited number of copies will also be available for purchase for $75 from the library. Come check out the rest of our outstanding local history collection while you are here!

Aaron Francis is the chief librarian at the Creston and District Public Library.

pete with the latest James Patterson bestseller, it is these unique, locally fla-voured items that distinguish our library and our community in this globalized cookie cutter world.

The recordings document the plant-ing of the first orchards, memories of the first school-houses, tales of log-ging and farming, construction of the Kootenay Pass, the evolution of Alice Siding, the village of Creston and the East Shore commu-nities, and much more. Most vivid to me are the personal memories — Dick Staples sledding down Canyon Street in the ’30s, Ralph Moore’s struggles with attention defi-cit disorder as a child, Lew and Iva Truscott’s eventful first date.

“People say I have trouble with ‘the filter’,” says Phil. “I’m very curious, I like to ask ques-tions. Sometimes I cross the line a bit! People don’t ask questions these days. Nowadays, every conversation starts with the vertical pronoun.” I’ll let you figure that one out!

Along with Phil Thomas, acknowledge-ment goes out to Jessa Morris for her produc-tion and artistic work, Bronwyn McKenna for her copious note-taking, and Andrew Feltham for technical assistance during the recording and production stages. Thank you also to

From page 7Our Creator has provided unlimited ener-

gy in sun, wind and geothermal heat, and given us the brains to use it. I firmly believe that we can solve this crisis, we do have all the tools we need.

The time for change is now. The Great Turning is well on the way and people all over the world are doing everything they can to save our beautiful planet. More and more people seem to realize that we do not have the right to destroy what the Creator has so generously pro-vided for us.

Fresh cherries, fresh cherry juice, dried cherries, chocolate covered cherries — based simply on the

name, it’s no surprise that those are avail-able at Cherrybrook Farms. But the

Erickson fruit stand and shop they opened in 2011 offers much more, with other fresh fruit (in season, of course), salt-water taffy, Dutch

imports and looseleaf tea available.But it all started out with only cherries,

when Gordon and Caroline Martin moved to Erickson Road from the Coast in 1996.

“We bought bare land and planted cherry trees,” said Caroline.

They eventually added apples, pears, peaches and plums in their farm’s origi-nal location. That was where they came up with one of the most unique aspects of their farm, cherry tree memberships.

The program has been running since 2007, with people able to have their own cherry tree, one that is looked after by Cherrybrook Farms — the members just have to show up for the harvest.

And it’s proven to be a hit with cus-tomers. One girl, whose grandmother buys her a membership for her birthday each year, is always excited to pick her cherries and share them with her friends.

“She says it’s the best present she’s ever had,” said Caroline.

And for Gordon, nothing is better than seeing families with children harvesting their tree, and “watching kids with juice all over their face and clothes, and they don’t even care.”

The cherry tree memberships weren’t the only unique offering at their previous loca-tion. Gordon and Caroline also began offer-ing hydroponically-grown lettuce. The but-ter lettuce was used by three restaurants, including A Break in Time Caffé, and sold at Overwaitea Foods, as well as at the farm and the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market.

It was around that time that they start-ed to realize traffic on Erickson Road wasn’t enough to maintain their sales.

“We were selling more at the farmers’ market than our own place,” said Gordon.

That led them to buy the former Chocolate Orchard at 2931 Highway 3 in Erickson, dropping the lettuce, but keep-ing the cherries and membership pro-gram, now offering more easily accessible trees and washrooms. The previous loca-tion stayed in the family, though, and is now being worked by their son, Peter.

“I’ve always wanted that,” said Gordon.

Farming is, after all, in his blood. He started farming as child in Brandon, Man., and that part of his past stuck with him — the family farm was called Brookwood, and that name combined with their biggest crop became Cherrybrook.

The new location allowed them to expand beyond fruit, and the shop now offers Creston Valley Jam Company jam — made by Caroline and Tammy Hardwick — and 50 flavours of saltwater taffy.

“People come in and say, ‘We need a bag for the road,’ ” said Gordon.

As well as a few dozen varieties of looseleaf teas, the store is the only Dutch import shop in the Kootenays, with cus-tomers often saying they turned around after driving by and seeing the Touch of Dutch sign.

“I wanted the candies my mom and dad had in the car all the time,” said Caroline. “Now it’s grown to 50 different kinds of licorice.”

That part of the shop is a reflection of her Dutch heritage, and her father’s favourite hobby, model railroading, is part of the farm, too. A railroad he creat-ed is housed in a building made just for it out back, and visitors can easily spot a larger-scale railroad running alongside the back deck, a perfect entertainment while sipping coffee or tea.

While they now grow apples, peaches, raspberries and strawberries, cherries are still the main focus. When fresh cherries aren’t available, customers can buy them dried or pitted and frozen, or as preser-vative-free, unpasteurized frozen juice.

“It tastes like eating a cherry,” Caroline said.

Aside from the flavour, the juice also has

health benefits — “Because of their dark pigment, they are one of the superfruits,” she said — although customers will often ask specifically about tart cherry juice.

“People think that only tart juice has health benefits,” said Caroline.

That misconception, she said, comes from the fact that studies have been done on tart cherries simply because nobody used them for anything else.

The dried cherries are also very popu-lar, with people sending packages all over the world, a great treat for the recip-ients, who are getting more than it seems — it takes up to 10 pounds of fresh cher-ries to make one pound dried.

It takes a lot of work to keep up with the demand, but with years of farming in his veins, Gordon is happy to look after that side of things while Caroline keeps busy in the store.

“I like watching the fruit and things go through the stages and appreciate when it gets harvested,” he said.

And, of course, he gets to drive the tractor.

“I put on my headphones and go into my own little world,” he said.

Life is just a bowl of

cherries at Cherrybrook

MULTIPLE SCLEROSISSOCIETY OF CANADA

Thousands of Canadians navigate their daily lives with multiple sclerosis, a dis-ease that can cause vision impairment, loss of balance, extreme fatigue and paral-ysis. This month, people with MS and the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada are launching Action on MS, a campaign call-ing for systemic changes in support of those living with MS.

“Every day, MS impacts the lives of loved ones and members of the commu-nity, in addition to Canadians who have MS themselves,” said Debbie Irwin, com-munity services co-ordinator for the MS society. “The Action on MS campaign gives Canadians the opportunity to call on federal and provincial governments to improve supports for caregivers through the development of a national caregiver action plan.”

The MS society is seeing the physical, emotional and financial impact on care-givers and family members of people liv-ing with disabilities and chronic illnesses, including people living with MS.

“Supports for caregivers are few and far between,” said Ken Chubb of the Creston MS self-help group. “Many care-givers suffer burnout.”

The Town of Creston has proclaimed May as MS Awareness Month, and

raised the flag on May 6. Creston resi-dents are invited to take part in the provincewide and nationwide efforts to end MS by:

•sending a message to members of Parliament calling for systemic changes in support of caregivers by going to www.actiononms.ca or www.1dayinmay.ca;

•contacting the local MS self-help

group to find out how to get involved in the community; and

•seeking out information to develop a better understanding of the issues affect-ing people with MS and their families.

MS is a chronic, often disabling, disease of the brain and spinal cord. It is the most common neurological disease of young adults in Canada, affecting an estimated

100,000 people. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40, and the unpredictable effects of MS last for the rest of their lives. The MS society pro-vides services to people with MS and their families and funds to find the cause and cure for this disease. Visit mssociety.ca or call 1-800-268-7582 to make a donation or for more information.

BY HUGH JOHNSTON

Creston’s largest funfest of the year will be happening for the 73rd time when the Creston Valley Blossom Festival runs May 16-19.

It kicks off with the grand opening ceremonies, the announcement of this year’s citi-zen of the year, and the Blossom Festival Talent Showcase, which will feature the five performers chosen by a selection committee, and one of those taking part will receive $500 based on a vote by audience members. If that isn’t enough, an all-star band, the Carltones, headed by Carl Erickson and featuring trumpet-er Don Clark and assorted friends, all of whom are musi-cians with a Creston connection.

May 16 is the date of the show, and tickets ($15 for adults, $5 for children 12 and under) are on sale now at Black Bear Books and the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce.

The busiest day of the festival always is Saturday. The day begins with the Creston Lions Club signature breakfast at Sunset Seed Co., where $5 gets you two fried eggs, two sausag-es, two pancakes and coffee or juice. Meanwhile, a small army of volunteers gets up early to map out and organize the floats, bands, clowns, church groups, classic cars, antique cars and farm equipment that comes together just before 11 a.m. for the mammoth parade that begins in front of the Creston Valley Motel and heads down Canyon Street to the Overwaitea Foods parking lot. This being an election year, look for parade appearances by a wide variety of politicians all vying for your vote this fall.

The long running Lions Street Fair will be underway on 11th

Avenue just north of Canyon Street in the Spirit of Creston Square from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. The Lions have partnered with the Thearapeutic Activation Program for Seniors the last two years so that the net proceeds stay working in Creston. If you are a Lego lover, drop down to the chamber of commerce as the Lego challenge goes from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The winners will hon-oured Monday afternoon in Centennial Park.

The Creston Valley Farmers’ Market on Cook Street will be in full swing on Saturday from 9 a.m.-1 p,m. behind the cham-ber of commerce.

One thing the Blossom Festival doesn’t do is forget our younger citizens, you know, the ones who represent our future. From noon-4 p.m., the parking lot of the College of the Rockies will the site of the Kidapalooza by Success By Six, featuring a variety of children’s fun games, including bouncy tents and face painting.

The older youth aren’t being overlooked either. Last year, they put on a very successful dance in Millennium Park so their hard-working committee of volun-teers is looking to grow the event this year. Once again, popular DJ Robin will be spinning the music. At noon in the parking lot behind the Millennium Park stage, they are staging a carnival featuring a most unusual beer garden — this is a root beer garden, in case any-one gets the wrong impression.

The Blossom Festival week-end is also special for the Lower Kootenay Band, which will be holding the 24th annual Yaqan Nukiy Powwow all weekend. Times are posted elsewhere in this section.

If you still have an appetite, and you should, on Sunday

head over to the Holy Cross Catholic Church hall for the Knights of Columbus western breakfast, which runs from 8 a.m.-noon. Scrambled eggs, Texas toast, hash browns and much more are available.

The action shifts to Canyon Street on Sunday for the classic car show. Again, car buffs will be looking for that shiny red Mustang convertible, that sleek green Chrysler Viper or the Corvette or vintage MG. There will also be a sizeable collection of vintage vehicles, from con-vertibles to sedans and coupes. No car show would be com-plete without some antique cars that have been restored.

A cherry pie-baking contest will be held in the Spirit of Creston Square. The Lions Club, meanwhile, will have its food wagon selling fresh hot chili and chilidogs. Also on Sunday is the 100-kilometre yard sale and swap meet, which could become an annual event if it catches on. Sunday night is the all faiths church service taking place in the Prince Charles Theatre at 7 p.m.

Monday is the day of the children’s parade. They muster behind CIBC at 10:30 a.m. At 11 a.m., led by the Creston RCMP, the parade heads down Canyon to the Royal Bank where it dis-perses. The fun isn’t finished as the Lions food wagon will be in Centennial Park and a variety of hot items will be available for sale. Each kid in the parade gets a ticket for one free hot-dog. Games are planned, so it should be a fun afternoon.

Also on Monday, the action shifts to the Creston Valley Airport with a chance to see the airport or enjoy some great food while you check out the planes.

Yes, from packing sheds to flower beds the 2014 Blossom Festival is certainly worth a look!

The Carltones, featuring Carl Erickson and Donny Clark are the featured performers at this year’s Creston Valley Blossom Festival opening cere-monies.

If you ask Carl Erickson how he became a lifelong musician he’ll tell you a story.

“My brother took me to see Ray Charles about age 12 and I have never been the same since,” he says. “My sister, Karen, and myself had a rock and roll band in high school we called the Royals, and before I knew what was what I was playing saxophone in a band called the Nocturnals.”

The Nocturnals recorded over 20 singles and are featured on the Live at the Grooveyard album, which has become a col-lector’s item. That album musi-cally showcases all the R&B groups of that Vancouver-era who were booked by Jaguar Enterprises. Also the Nocturnals, pictured in gold jackets, appear on the cover of The History of Vancouver Rock and Roll.

“We were a show group, with our costume changes and dance steps — which after all these years I can say without reservation I hated, as beyond any talent I may have, I have never been much of a dancer, to say the least,” Erickson says.

There were quite a few years where Erickson did a lot of stu-dio session recordings — of which there are many great memories.

“There are also good memo-ries of touring with groups like the Buck Owens Revue, which I left in Pheonix, Ariz., some-where around 1976, to Spade Nielson and the Gamblers, touring across Canada and the U.S.A. all the way to southeast Asia, and countless groups like the Elvis, Elvis, Elvis.”

Erickson spent about eight years in Calgary, part of which were spent playing saxophone with Ronnie King who had taken a leave of absence from the Stampeders of Sweet City Woman fame.

“I then returned to Vancouver and reunited with my old, late friend Muddy Fraser, a blues legend,” he says. “We recorded two albums, one in late 1980 and one about 1990. Throughout the ’90s, well, more unpaid recording sessions, but still most were great fun.”

Joining Erickson in the Carltones is Don Clark.

Don Clark has enjoyed a long career as one of Canada’s leading trumpet and flugelhorn players. As a player, arranger and composer on the West Coast since the early 1960s, he has been leader of the Donnie Clark Quartet, Donnie Clark Quintet and the Don Clark

Ragtime Band, as well as a member of leading jazz ensem-bles such as the Bobby Hales Orchestra, the West Coast Jazz Orchestra, and a regular on CBC radio and television. He was a founding member of the legendary Vancouver all-star jazz sextet Pacific Salt, touring throughout North America and Europe in the 1970s.

The list of artists that Clark has performed and recorded with includes Bob Hales, Dave Robbins, Pacific Salt, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Lance Harrison, Fraser McPherson, Doug Parker, New Orleans Connection and the Chicago Six. His most recent CD release with the Donnie Clark Quintet, To Swing or not To Swing, features nine original compositions and classic jazz ballads.

Erickson and Clark are pleased to be working with special guests Rick Potyok on guitar, Ted Bryant, formerly of the Kings of Kitchener, on bass and Adam Koenig on drums. Their superior musicality and a little light-hearted banter help make for an extremely enjoyable evening.

The audience will also be participating in the ceremonies by choosing the recipient of a $500 performance bonus to be awarded to one of five local musicians chosen for the eve-ning’s entertainment.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for ages 12 and under, available at Black Bear Books and the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce. Doors open at 7 p.m. at the Prince Charles Theatre on May 16.

Millennium Park is the place to be on May 17. The Creston Valley Blossom Festival is again staging a free concert featuring five of the area’s top musical acts. The show runs from 1-4 p.m.

Opening the show is Jackson Peters, a multitalented folk singer whose voice will astound you. She lives on Packing Shed Road, which fits nicely into this year’s Blossom Festival theme. If you have never heard her before you are in for quite a pleasant surprise; if you have heard her, you will enjoy her again as she never fails to amaze. This is her second appearance at the con-cert in the park.

What happens when you take a fan of western music out of Ontario and send him west? You get Bill “Slim” Young who entertained all over that province before arriving in Creston with his guitar and cowboy hat. If you like the old time country tunes, Slim won’t let you down. Slim made his Blossom Fest debut last year and is being welcomed back.

Colin Bunt, the man with the golden voice, has put together a three-piece group, including Bunt on vocals and guitar. Fiddler Zavalina Huscroft brings the ener-gy to the group with drummer Gordon Baukham keeping every-one in sync and on time. Bunt has worked in the business for many decades and at one time toured with Buddy Knox and the Rhythm

Orchids. Bunt has made several CD.s and he will have some for sale following the concert. His style of music is called western swing, along the lines of the old Bob Willis band or today’s Asleep at the Wheel. This is their first appearance at the concert in the park.

Rhonda Barter is no stranger to the stages in the Creston area, appearing at the Wynndel Coffee House and performing in the Blossom Festival concert in the park since it began three years ago. She sings, plays fid-dle and the piano. Musically, she is connected to her Cape Breton routes. She won’t disappoint.

One of the Creston Valley’s most popular groups has the unusual name of Peanut Butter and Jam. The band covers a wide range of music from Celtic, folk, pop and country. The group features the vocals of lead-er Bob Gollan, Julie Groot and Shirley Cameron. The newest member of the band is veteran guitar player and vocalist Ted Bryant, who used to play with the Kings of Kitchener. The group has a dynamic stage presence which explains their huge following. Whether at legion halls or coffee houses like Wynndel, this group goes the distance to please its listeners. This will be their third appearance at the Blossom Festival free concert in the park.

Bring your lawn chairs, a blanket or both and sit back and enjoy the sound of music in the park for three hours. A schedule of showtimes appears elsewhere in this issue.

They may not make the Guiness World Records this year, but they are sure going to try. Creston Valley Blossom Festival director Myrna Johnson is the big push behind the 100-kilometre yard sale and swap meet, which will run on May 18. Johnson comes from Nova Scotia and a similar event in that province drew quite the crowd.

The swap meet runs from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. and will take place in the Kootenay Peterbilt parking lot at 401 Helen St. Sites rent for $15, and tables rent for $20,

which includes your site fee. For $30 it includes site fee, table and tent. Registration forms are available at the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce or online at www.blossomfestival.ca.

Residents who live along the route from Yahk to Riondel can set up their yard sale signs and dis-plays on their own property. Highway 95, 3 and 3A should be busy with onlookers and bargain hunters that afternoon. If ever there was an incentive to clean out the attic, basement or garage, then this is it. All we need is some decent weather — and let the bar-gain hunters converge.

Swap meet, yard sale running from Yahk to Riondel

WHO’S IT GONNA BE? — In addition to a concert featuring the Carltones and a talent show, the Blossom Festival opening on Friday night at Prince Charles Theatre also includes the naming of the citizen of the year. Recent recipi-ents have included (clockwise from above) Norm Husband in 2011, Phil Thomas in 2012 and Henry Schoof in 2013.

From page 1For most, the project started in October, and

youth workers have the help of Lower Kootenay Band members and other visitors to help stu-dents understand the significance as they deco-rate regalia using images, shapes and colours that say something about them.

“If you’re going to dance, you’re not just putting on regalia and dancing,” said ARES youth worker Josie Fullarton, who is assisted by Grade 4 teacher Allaina Allard. “Every piece means something.”

The public is welcome to see Creston, Crawford Bay, Kaslo and Castlegar students dancing in their regalia during the May 16 event — which runs 9:30-11:30 a.m. and 12:30-2:30 p.m. — hosted by MC Ruben Little Head, and featur-ing hoop dancer Sandra Lamouche and the Northern Cree Singers.

The powwow is probably the most visible component, but is only part of the schools’ Aboriginal program, which offers self-identified First Nations, Métis and Inuit students education in their language, history and culture.

The Lower Kootenay Band worked with the school district to get it started, and the program has been in Creston and other SD8 schools for 19 years, guided by the goals of the Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement: to enhance the students’ sense of belonging and self-esteem, increase their chances for academic success, and provide positive lifestyle choices.

That involves more than just a chance for the students to take part in activities — concepts are also important. For example, Erickson Elementary School youth worker Janet Zarchukoff’s son-in-law is of Cree and Ktunaxa descent, and when he came in to demonstrate his beadwork, he talked about setting goals.

“We have positive role models come in and share,” said Zarchukoff.

Those Aboriginal role models have been par-ticularly helpful during Project of Heart, offered to students in Grades 2-5, as they discussed the loss of culture and the residential school system in an age-appropriate manner.

“This was a hugely impactful program,” said CLES youth worker Laurel Ewashen. “If they make the emotional connection now, it will be there when they learn about the full reality of the situation.”

For younger students, the program helped teach about healthy lifestyle choices and diabe-tes prevention, and Grade 7 students discussed the social justice circle, and debated healing ver-sus punitive action.

“The children are so quick to make the con-nection,” Ewashen said. “You don’t have to teach them to.”

The program allows non-Aboriginal students the chance to learn about their schoolmates’ cul-ture, too; a Métis woman from Cranbrook taught music and dancing to EES students, which they then performed in Focus on Youth.

“The Aboriginal kids in that class are learn-ing, but it’s normalizing it for the rest of the class,” Zarchukoff said.

At PCSS, Mynott expands on the elementary program, starting in the spring when Grade 7 students come for orientation.

“One of the most important aspects of the program is for our students to have a sense of belonging [and] also to feel comfortable being at the high school,” she said.

To that end, the schools have Aboriginal rooms, where students of all backgrounds enjoy spending time.

“Occasionally students will come from other classes to work quietly on their assignments or write tests,” said Mynott. “The room is open all the time, and we welcome everyone into our room.”

The room at EES has a microwave and mini-fridge, and one Aboriginal student regularly brings in a couple of friends to eat lunch with, an important key to their behavioural, emotional and social well-being, said Zarchukoff.

The four Creston Valley youth workers main-tain close ties, meeting together weekly to make decisions and discuss issues with the program. Their united front helps Aboriginal students maintain their cultural identity while educating others at the same time.

“There are stereotyped thoughts of what Aboriginal people are like,” Fullarton said. “What we do is challenge those thoughts and feelings.”

Powwow

Brian LawrenceStudents from Canyon-Lister, Erickson and Adam Robertson elementary schools will be taking part in the fourth annual youth powwow tomorrow at the Creston and District Community Complex.

Child Care Month • Child Care Provider Appreciation DayMay, 2014 May 15, 2014

Every day, child-care providers are helping children climb on jungle gyms, introducing the joy of music through songs and reading children’s stories that pique young imaginations. Child-care providers offer babies, toddlers and children safe, high-quality care environments where they can learn through play.

Aboriginal child-care centres provide cultural programming – such as singing, drumming and language-learning opportunities – to help connect Aboriginal children to their cultural roots. The child-care and early learning system is actively supporting parents of young children to work or go

to school, providing more than 100,000 licensed child-care spaces throughout the province. Parents can decide from a range of child-care options that meet their needs, including group child care (centre based), family child care (based in a family home), preschool, before- and after-school care and care in their own home.

For More Information on Child Care Programs,Visit mcf.gov.bc.ca/childcare/

“Youth is a gift of nature; age is a work of art.”—Stanislaw Jerzy Lec (1906-1966)

Polish writer, poet and satirist

“I feel like I’m part of a family here.”We all know for ourselves that a satisfying life

includes many experiences, as well as meeting basic needs. One reality in our older years is that not everyone has family nearby, and what used to be natural gatherings or regular interactions of diverse ages are non-existent or infrequently a part of many older seniors’ lives.

This understanding is key to the kind of pro-gram that the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors (TAPS) is, as we address those basic needs of seniors who want or need some support to maintain their independence and contribute to the community.

Every child deserves the very best we can offer. In a province as wealthy as British Columbia, we can do so much more for our kids than 10 years of the highest child poverty in the country. Much needs

to be done, but one thing govern-ment could do right now is end the clawback of child support from children whose parents receive income assistance.

The Supreme Court of Canada is clear that child support is the right of the child. Children are entitled to a decent standard of living and to have their needs met. This is the purpose of child support payments from one parent to another. At no point should child support ever be interpreted as a revenue stream for government. And yet that is exactly what the BC Liberals have been doing for more than a decade.

Since 2002, the Liberals have been clawing back child support payments dollar for dollar every month from children whose parents receive income assistance. Many of

these parents are single moms with disabilities.

Single mothers like Rachel Goodine are raising their children on roughly $1,000 per month. That $1,000 is supposed to pay for rent,

clothes, food and utilities. But it doesn’t. Rachel, like other moms in her shoes, strug-gles to feed her daughter.

Rachel’s little girl and so many others like her make up the 30 per cent of B.C. food

bank clients who are children. Several single mothers whose

children are impacted by the child support clawback recently came to the legislature. They shared their stories, and urged Premier Christy Clark to do the right thing and stop taking money from their children. You can imagine how disappointing it was for the mothers and their children to be dismissed by Clark when she refused to answer their call to end the clawback.

While the BC Liberals found $17 million to spend on partisan pre-election advertising last year, some-how Premier Clark and Social Development Minister Don McRae say they can’t afford to stop taking $17 million out of the hands of B.C.’s poorest kids.

It’s wrong, and it has to stop. No

one wants to see children’s support payments go to the Liberal govern-ment’s self-promoting advertising.

British Columbians don’t want to see our children go hungry or wear shoes that are too small and worn out. People want to see kids keep their child support to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy school lunches and a warm winter coat.

Far from putting these families first, Premier Clark is shutting the door of opportunity to children simply because their parents receive income supports. In the leg-islature, I have been asking her to stop this practice, and you can watch those questions at my YouTube channel.

The government needs to end the clawback immediately. The benefits now and into the future most cer-tainly exceed $17 million. But just as importantly, it is the right thing to do.

Be someone who stands up for B.C.’s poorest kids. Tell the premier and minster of social development that you want the child support clawback ended immediately. Write to them at premier@gov.bc.ca and SDSI.minister@gov.bc.ca or tweet them at @ChristyClarkBC and @DonMcRaeMLA.

Together, we can build a better B.C.

Well look at that: We received another award! And when I say “we”, I mean the collective we, which includes all of you in the Creston Valley, as well. This was the 2014 BC Recreation and Parks Association Facility Excellence Award and, of course, it refers to the Creston and District Community Complex, which many of you have visited, watched or participated in something at these past few years.

First off, I want to say when you examine the roster of award

winners back to 2005, there were 16 recipients from the Lower Mainland or Vancouver Island

and one from Kelowna. I realize where the Hub and Hub Jr. of civilization rests in the domain, so to me, at least, it really means some-thing to see an award like this be extended into the hinterland of the east side of the province.

The application and ques-tioning process for the award was kind of a Charles

Dickens’ A Christmas Carol form — a past, pres-ent and future. It asked us about citizen, board and user group input into the development of the project, which was demonstrated through the master plan process everyone in the valley had a chance to contribute to, through the local design team and aquatic feasibility study, and on to the referendum, which, of course, was successful.

We also had to address accessibility for the general public and special needs groups, which was covered through the entire design; from handi-capable parking stalls to wash-rooms to level access to pretty much every-thing. Did you know you can get to pretty much anywhere in the building without hav-ing to use stairs? The only exceptions are the half-dozen steps down into the lap pool and the three or four steps up and into the hot tub. Pretty amazing for starting with a 1970s-era building — I can hardly wait until I retire so I can shuffle around here in my open back bed-room slippers.

We also described the unique and innovative designs in the building, along with environmen-tal and resource management systems (demon-strated by the FortisBC Kootenay Conservation Excellence Award we received in 2012), which were selected based on a payback schedule and future savings.

OK. We have the place built. Now what? Winston Churchill said, “We shape our build-ings; thereafter, they shape us.” Very true, and for me, this splits into two at this point: you and us.

The “you” is our Creston Valley community so we talked about public acceptance and usage, and I could fill a page of this newspaper with all the events and user groups and increased num-bers through the doors. You made answering that question easy; we just had to look a sched-ules and bookings for the past three or four years.

“Us” is the group of dedicated people that govern and staff the place, from the Area Directors that have to make sometimes tough decisions through to the staff that manage, pro-gram and clean the facility, right to the instructor providing a one-on-one lesson to you. Funny thing is, us is also you, all part of this great com-munity we call the Creston Valley, and all of us get a little slice of this award.

As society is starting to regard recreation as an essential service — not just here, but in our schools and communities and homes — I’ll give the last kudos to the us group, which I feel dem-onstrates the passion and dedication to recre-ation that makes you want to come here.

“A group of people get together and exist as an institution we call a company so they are able to accomplish something collectively that they could not accomplish separately — they make a contribution to society, a phrase which sounds trite but is fundamental.” — David Packard, co-founder of Hewlett-Packard

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

From page 28For example, cultivating

intergenerational connections has been both an unspoken theme and part of the vision for TAPS programming since its inception. Since programming at TAPS is a living process, every-one has input, and individual and group ideas reflect what is important to them. Whenever the topic of youth involvement comes up, there is general agree-ment and anticipation, especially now that they have had so many successful experiences.

The programs are always designed for the benefit of the youth and the seniors in shar-ing information, learning from each other, building life skills, work experience, contributing to the community, volunteering and developing rela-tionships. And, oh yes, did I mention fun?

Some of the pro-grams in the past year have been work experi-ence for Prince Charles Secondary School (PCSS) students, skills development and prep-aration for employment through New Horizons for Seniors and College of the Rockies for stu-dents from the special needs program at PCSS, students from Wildflower School interacting with and helping the seniors with projects for Gleaners, and summer students through a federal pro-gram assisting with summer programming and special projects. Everyone’s looking for-ward to welcoming this year’s summer student on Monday.

TAPS offers services and resources for trans-portation, meals and diverse educational, social, health and safety and arts and culture programs at the centre, and we enjoy and antic-ipate collaborating with the community for youth involvement into the future. Those gifts of nature and works of art go well together when given a chance.

As usual and with no less authenticity for repeating it, we thank everyone who contrib-utes to TAPS. We are amongst many organi-zations in our commu-

nity caring for those in need of services. The staff and volun-teers do the heavy lifting to make them happen, and your financial support in many forms is the other vital part of the equation.

Pretty soon we’ll run out of wall space at the centre as the art group with artist Pat Bredt

is producing new watercolour paintings every week. Exploring new techniques and subject matter, members of the group of seniors and two stu-dents from the high school have been completely absorbed in their own creations, and they are lovely and unique.
