The value provided by Ronald McDonald House to local families whose children have need cancer treatment in Calgary is undeniable.

Now, local residents are spearheading a drive to collect pull-tabs from beverage cans and food tins. The tabs will be donated for recycling by Westcan Recyclers Ltd, which in turn pays money to Ronald McDonald House Charities Southern Alberta.

“Removing the tabs doesn’t reduce what people get for their cans from the recycling depots, but it adds enormously to the ability for this important facility to offer services to families in Alberta and B.C.,” said a quiet volunteer who has arranged for the Creston Valley Advance to be a collection point for the tabs.

“Most of us know, directly or indi-rectly, of a local family that has stayed at Ronald McDonald House while their kids underwent cancer treatments,” she said. “This is small and easy way that we can show our support.”

Why pull-tabs?“The tabs from your pop and other

cans are a clean source of aluminum that take up less space and are easier to store than an entire can,” says the charity’s website. “You may still recycle the entire aluminum can after you’ve saved the pull-tab for the house.

“The dollars raised from the recycling of your donations of tabs are used for opera-tions and supplies for Ronald McDonald House Charities Southern Alberta.

“These small pieces of aluminum are a way for you to help provide a home away from home for families while their chil-dren are receiving medical treatment at area hospitals.”

Aluminum tabs from pop, beer and juice cans, fish and meat tins, soups, and pet food tins can be dropped of at the Creston Valley Advance on weekdays from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

After a two-month delay, cyclists can again get excited about the Creston Valley Tour de Farm, a 34-kilometre round trip visiting four farms and a winery.

Put on by the Kootenay Young Agrarians (YA), the bicycle tour was scheduled for July, but post-

poned due to extreme heat, and is now slated for Sept. 13. Although the decision to postpone was a tough one, the early fall is a perfect time for the event.

“Part of what makes our valley so special is that there is farm magic to witness year-round,” said Laura Hannant, who co-ordi-nate YA with Nigel Francis. “Mid-September is especially abundant.

There will bounty everywhere we go from late summer and early farm vege-tables to grains being harvested.”

Cyclists will start at the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce and pedal to Cartwheel Farm (organic market garden), Full Circle Farm (grain), Kootenay Meadows (milk and cheese), Just-A-Mere Organic Farm (fruit and vegetables) and Baillie-Grohman Estate Winery.

This Tour de Farm follows up on last year’s inaugural tour,

which attracted people of all ages and abilities — some cycling for the first time in years, others towing kids in trailers — who quickly became passionate about what they experience.

“Last year, people who came out for the ride loved how celebratory the day felt,” said Hannant. “Everyone who came out believes in the pos-sibility of a future where we know where all our food comes from, and where that food isn’t just fresh and healthy, but delicious! Seeing so many different types of

farms in one community in one day makes that future feel less far off. And there’s some-thing pretty special about sit-ting down to a delicious glass of local wine with new friends at the end of a long bike ride.”

It’s important, she added, for consumers to have that close contact with producers — and meeting them via bicy-cle is a unique way to do tht.

“Whether most of us see it or not, there are farmers all across our valley working day in and day out to feed us and to care for our land,” said Hannant. “I think there is

value in remembering that and getting a peek at what it looks like. I think there is also deep value in recognizing how much more farming could be happening here. Biking from farm to farm and seeing the landscape roll past, our valley’s untapped agricul-tural potential is obvious and inspiring.”

Tour de Farm tickets are $20, available in advance at the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce. Anyone interested in volunteering that day can email Laura Hannant or Nigel Francis at [email protected].

Creston Fire Rescue mem-bers got more than they expect-ed when they met for their regu-lar training session recently.

“A call came from Emergency Management BC to request sup-port for Christina Lake and Grand Forks residents,” said Capt. Eric Graham. “From what I heard the weather forecast pro-jected high winds and that’s what triggered the deployment of resources from other B.C. communities.”

Graham, the Town of Creston bylaw enforcement officer, doubles as a firefighter. With expected high winds in the Boundary area for a few days, he and three other Creston Fire Rescue members packed their gear into Engine No. 2 and were headed west-ward at 2 a.m. Aug. 27.

“We met up in Castlegar with crews from Pass Creek and Kaslo, as well as the Castlegar Fire Department,” Graham said. “We all arrived in Christina Lake early on Friday morning to check in with the operations section chief.”

The team remained in Christina Lake, participating in plans to respond to any inter-

face fires (where forests meet residential areas). The crews also familiarized themselves with the area and located water supplies.

With winds picking up in velocity, the team moved to Grand Forks on Aug. 29.

“It looked like fire was a greater danger there at the time,” Graham said. “There was lots of smoke and ash in the air. Fortunately, the fire didn’t move as expected in those high winds.”

That evening, the Creston group returned to Christina Lake and a welcome rainfall began.

“The rain was enough to lower the risk and the word came to demobilize all the interface forces staying at Christina Lake.”

By 2 p.m. Aug. 30, the fire-fighters and truck were back in Creston.

The opportunity to work with other fire departments and for-estry firefighters was good train-ing, allowing the team to gain knowledge about how to set up and work together at a potential interface fire site.

“I’m glad we could offer assistance,” Graham said. “The people in Grand Forks and Christina Lake were very

appreciative of the support they received from other com-munities. It clearly meant a lot to them.”

In a report to Creston town council last week, fire Chief Mike Moore said costs incurred will be covered by a previously negotiated agreement.

“Based on the reimburse-ment rates and guidelines, an invoice for 36 hours at $565 per hour ($20,340) was sent to Regional District of Kootenay Boundary,” Moore said in his report. “This all found rate includes travel time, mileage, wages for personnel and main-tenance.”

Moore said that the ability to respond to local emergencies was not jeopardized while the truck and crew were away.

“With the engine (slated) for West Creston fire protection still located at the municipal fire station, there was no reduc-tion in the fire engine pumping capacity for the Town of Creston or fire protection areas,” he said. “Additionally, with the automatic aid agree-ment, both Wynndel and Canyon fire departments were advised of the decision to send a fire engine to assist and were placed on standby for all fire responses.”

The Kootenay Lake school board decided Tuesday to revisit out-of-catchment busing follow-ing a “violation of process” brought to their attention by the district parent advisory council.

Trustees had a lengthy, heated debate about two proposed reso-lutions that would see busing fees reinstated for those traveling to schools outside of their area.

“I think we’re stepping out of line as a board,” said trustee Bob Wright. “We’re not supporting kids to go to their local school. We’re supporting kids going anywhere they want and we’re saying we’ll bus them there.

“What we’re saying is that some of our schools don’t mea-sure up. But I believe in local

schools and I believe in local community.”

Wright expressed his fear that if out-of-catchment busing becomes more popular it could effectively “cripple” some local schools. Trustee Rebecca Huscroft echoed the sentiment.

“All the schools in our dis-trict come up to the same stan-dard,” she said.

The conversation was spurred by district parent advisory coun-cil chair Sheri Walsh, who said stakeholders were denied the chance to have input into the issue as previously planned.

Trustees voted to refer the issue to the budget stakeholder engagement committee in October.

“Let’s give this at least another year’s chance,” trustee Dawn Lang said, on keeping

the fees in place. “Our feet are being held to the fire to deal with our financial problems.”

And trustee Heather Suttie said their attempts to address the issue have been too small scale.

“We have to come up with bigger solutions.”

Since 2009, the board has flip-flopped on two issues: whether they should allow out-of-catchment busing at all, and whether they should recoup their expenses through fees. According to legislation, stu-dents are allowed to attend a school of their choice, but as Huscroft put it, “we’re not leg-islated to pay for it.”

Supt. Jeff Jones said he’s frustrated by the indecision.

“There has been a continual debate over the last five or six

years,” he said, noting that as things stand now nobody will be charged for out-of-catchment busing until after the budget stake-holders meeting.

“Should the board decide to continue to implement the out-of-catchment busing fees then parents will be invoiced accordingly,” Jones said.

According to opera-tions manager Larry Brown, there were 2,168 registered riders in the district as of June 30, with 1,826 in their own catchment areas and 342 out.

WYNNDEL IRRIGATION NOTICE

VOTE at theWynndel Community Hall

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

A rash of graffiti complaints from Riondel has yet to lead to the identity of a suspect, RCMP Staff Sgt. Darryl Hammond said on Tuesday.

“There have been words sprayed that are quite rude — ones you wouldn’t print in the newspaper,” he said.

A campground sign and trailer were also defaced.

The complaints came in over a three-day span during the week and the investigation continues.

Police BeatCreston police responded to a

T-Cats ready to start seasonBY BRIAN LAWRENCE

Advance Editor

With no losses in five exhibi-tion games, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats are ready to start the 2015-2016 season by visit-ing the Chase Heat for their season opener tomorrow night and the Sicamous Eagles on Saturday.

Having no experience against either team last season, head coach Jeff Dubois said the Thunder Cats will watch some footage from last season, and then play the best game they can.

“We have a bit of video at our disposal from last year that we go through with the guys,” he said, noting that former Golden Rockets coach Ty Davidson now coaches the Eagles. “We kind of understand the style that he likes to play, but again, we’re not

familiar with their players beyond having had a chance to watch some video.”

Friday’s season-opener close-ly follows a six-game exhibition schedule, which saw the Thunder Cats beat the Beaver Valley Nitehawks 2-1, the Grand Forks Border Bruins 10-1 and the Fernie Ghostriders 5-3, and tie Fernie 2-2 and Grand Forks 4-4. (The final game, against Beaver Valley, was slated for Tuesday night after press time.)

Through those games, Dubois said, the team was pared down to 26 from about 32 left over from training camp, with a final few to be cut before tomorrow’s game to bring the team down to its 23-member maximum.

Throughout the exhibition series, a few players stood out, and Dubois is confident fans will enjoy watching them this season.

He expects good things from defenceman Liam Bell, from Vancouver Island, and Jayden Smith, who came to Creston from Calgary, is a “powerful, hard working, smart kid with good offensive tools.” And Montreal recruit Marc Gagnon has “been full value — a real smart, puck-moving defenceman.”

Fans will also be happy to know that the Fernie Ghostriders should again pro-vide strong competition, which should be seen at the Thunder Cats home-opener on Sept. 19.

“Their captain, a guy named Cole Keebler, I fully expect to be one of the top guys in the league this year,” said Dubios. “Based on what we’ve seen so far in two very close games with them, I expect it to be another good year for that rivalry.”

The second time was the charm for the Creston Fire Rescue team, the Creston Irons, which placed first in the Firefighter Games hosted by the Robson Volunteer Fire Department on Saturday and Sunday.

Competing against 14 teams — mostly from the Kootenays, with one from as far away as Sechelt — the placement was a considerable jump from Creston’s 2014 fifth-place fin-ish, a position last year’s first-place winner, Nelson Fire Rescue, took this year.

“We got points on every event,” said Capt. Randall Fabbro. “We were able to gain some ground with getting points in places we didn’t last year.”

“It was surreal,” said fire-fighter Joey Fellegi-Biro. “They took all the placards off the scoreboard and then placed each team from fifteenth up to first.”

The organizers held back and created some suspense before finally adding the first- and second-place winners’ placards to the board.

“We all just lost it,” said Fellegi-Biro. “It was so great.”

Fabbro, Fellegi-Biro, Cory Fleck and Laura Carman com-peted for Creston, with Carman joining the team after cheering on her fellow firefighters at last year’s event.

The Firefighter Games, a fun-draiser for Muscular Dystrophy Canada, includes eight events, with an axe throw, chin-up square-off, pike pole javelin, hose roll relay, sledgehammer slam, window rescue (in which the Irons placed first in both heats) and hoisting challenge leading up to finale, Mayday Mayday Mayhem. It’s an obsta-cle course featuring a slip and slide, a water jet-filled tunnel and a “home” firefighters must extract a victim from, breaking through a door along the way.

The Irons went into the final with 87 points and earned 50 for the best time, 1:15, four sec-onds faster than Robson.

This year, Creston had a bet-ter showing than last year in a few events, notably the axe throw and pike pole javelin, in which they earned no points last year. But their improvement had nothing to do with practice.

“We thought we’d get together and do a couple things,” said Fabbro. “But real-ly, it’s all for fun anyway, so

why train and go out there at 110 per cent? We work together as a team and come through.”

He and the team appreciate the support from the commu-nity, as well as the hard work the Robson crew puts into host-ing and planning in the event.

“It’s fun from the day you get there to the time you leave,” said Fabbro. “At the

Creston Irons place first in Firefighter Gamesend of the day, it doesn’t really matter where you place because it’s all to raise money for muscular dystrophy. Coming out in the top spot is just a bonus.”

And he plans to take his team back for more next year.

“I plan on having a team to rep-resent Creston every year, if not two, if we can,” he said.

OPINION LINE

As, along with much of the world, I followed the Syrian refu-gee crisis as it hit the headlines last week, I couldn’t help but think about how easy it is to take our own lives for granted. While most of us likely don’t have a refugee story in our family history, unless we have surnames like Louie, Luke and Basil, we do have histories of immigration.

In a phone chat with my 87-year-old mother this week I asked for a refresher as to how my ancestors got to Canada. She has plenty of physi-cal ailments, but Mom’s memory is still sharp and quick.

My dad’s father, Jim Eckersley, came to Canada from Lancashire in the mid-1920s, an adult travel-ling with his parents and siblings. They bought a small farm just south of Fernie. He would marry Teresa Jarina, whose Czechoslovakian parents would arrive first in the eastern U.S. before making their way across the continent to settle in the now mostly forgotten Michel-Natal area near Sparwood, where mining jobs were the major draw.

Mom’s father, Harry Bath, mar-ried his wife Rose in England, then left her behind with a child as he and Rose’s brother set off for Canada in search of a better life. Harry first worked as a farm labour-er in Saskatchewan. He loved the work, but moved westward when he realized he would never earn enough to bring his wife and child over to Canada. He arrived, also in the mid-1920’s, in Michel, where coal mine jobs paid better, even though work days were irregular. Sad that his lungs, damaged by a Nazi mustard gas attack while he fought in French trenches in the Great War, would be subjected to a lifetime of coal dust and often impure air.

Two years after his arrival in Canada, Rose and baby Ron were able to join him.

For my four grandparents, life never was easy. With not much edu-cation, they scratched out livings

from logging and mining, raised their families and ended up in Fernie, away from the soot-black-ened houses, yards and roads in Michel and Natal.

Rose died of cancer in 1959 and Harry worked a few more years before retiring. I can still remem-ber the night in the late 1970s when Angela and I, with my Uncle Ron, paid our last visit to him as he laid in the hospital, semi-con-scious and gasping for air that even an oxygen mask couldn’t force down into his hardened lungs. He died a few hours after we left the hospital that night.

Pop Eckersley had a happier retirement, as he fed his passions for gardening and woodworking at their West Fernie home. But Jim and Teresa’s final years were less happy. They lived in an apartment after they sold their home, he slowed by heart ailments and she now blinded by the diabetes she had suffered from for years.

Wealth was one thing none of my grandparents ever experienced. They couldn’t even afford cars near the end of their working lives. None ever made the trip back to Europe. I doubt that it was ever a consideration as they struggled to

keep up with the costs associated with home ownership. They were proud Canadians, though, apprecia-tive in the knowledge that they, or their parents, had taken the risk of sailing into a great unknown in search of opportunity.

In comparison to the waves of refugees and unsettled immigrants who have come to Canada’s shores, they were simply economic opportunists. They brought next to nothing with them except a will-ingness to work. Three were lucky enough to have been born in England — that gave them a slight upper hand even if they weren’t well educated. My grandmother’s family would always be referred to as squareheads or bohunks, simply because they came from a country a few hundred miles to the east of England.

As I listened to and read about the plight of millions who have streamed out of Syria, I thought back to the all-too-regular times in Canadian history when immi-grants from too many other coun-tries have arrived with little else than hope for a better future. And I was disgusted by Stephen Harper’s ice-cold assertion that Canada has the most generous immigration policy in the world. The simple fact is that the Conservative government has been enthusiastic about immigrants who arrive with piles of cash to spend and invest — one need look no further than the Lower Mainland to find the proof in the cost of housing. Canada will not solve the big picture problem that is the Middle East, and under a Conservative government we won’t even try. But we should offer a ray of hope to more families than we have accepted to this point.

In this column, I’ve been writing about “Mountains and Rivers Sutra”, an essay by 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen. If you have just started reading this column and want to see the 16 that have preceded it, go to www.zenwords.net and link to “dharma talks.” I post the column to a blog a week after it is published in the Advance.

Dogen writes, “Because green mountains walk, they are perma-nent.” The word permanent might be misleading because there is only one thing that is permanent — imperma-nence. When people say, “I don’t trust him or her,” I answer, “You can absolutely trust them. You can trust them to be themselves.” Similarly, you can trust impermanence to be constant; it is the one thing that you can trust. Things come and go; you can trust that, always.

And ironically, there is salvation in that. If things are really bad they won’t last, so don’t worry. If things are really good they won’t get bor-ing, so don’t worry. Nothing stays the same. And that’s a good thing, because if something that is really good stayed that way, it would soon turn to be really bad. It’s good because it’s impermanent.

For example, your son’s first wed-

ding is not every day. That’s why it’s so great. Imagine if your son’s wed-ding was every single day. Every day you would have to deal with all those relatives, all the champagne, all the food. It would soon get tiring. But

because your son’s first wedding is only once, and it will be over at the end of the day, it is truly wonderful.

So that’s what Dogen is saying here. Because the green mountains are constantly walking they are truly constant. This quality of constancy is one of the greatest virtues of Zen training. That’s why exciting people don’t usually stick with Zen practice. Zen virtue is not brilliant. It’s not a flashy enlightenment experience. In Zen training, we don’t try to achieve great heights, because if we achieve great heights, we miss our life as it is. The great height is to be alive togeth-er in this world. There is nothing

beyond this. So, to think you are going to have a fantastic enlighten-ment experience is to miss the awe-some presence of your life as it is, here in this moment.

True Zen practice is the constancy of showing up, of being there, of bringing your whole heart to every moment of your life, whether in the zendo or on the fifth day of a retreat, whether you are cleaning garbage on the street or wiping your kitchen countertop. Zen virtue is the con-stancy of putting yourself right in the middle of the walking mountains, of the ever-changing reality of moment to moment living.

Suggested practice: Take some time to notice where you are operat-ing on the assumption that some-thing — bad health, good health, abundance, poverty, happiness or unhappiness — will always be pres-ent. Remind yourself that this too will change.

Kuya Minogue is the resident teacher at Sakura-ji, Creston’s zendo. This col-umn is part of a long essay on an essay by 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen and is inspired by the teaching of Norman Fishcher.

This year started off like many oth-ers; however, it soon became apparent that spring 2015 was going to be early. One of my daughters went skiing in February and the folks at Whitewater in Nelson described it as good spring ski-ing conditions, meaning the snow was melting fast and we were in for another early gardening season.

As most of the annuals are grown from seed on a preplanned schedule attempting to maximize the use of heated greenhouse space, one can only push them ahead by a week or two. The nursery stock held up well, given that early seasons always hit us with late frosts. The orchard crops all received good pollination.

As the season progressed, the heat units kept building up and the con-tinuous sunshine and lack of rain

dried everything out. It was a real chore to keep all the new trees and shrubs moist enough to establish this year, even with automatic watering in some areas.

Another real challenge this year was the insects. They grow based on heat units. Pests were a lot earlier than nor-mal. This makes it harder to find them on time and even harder to control them. Some bugs even have an extra life cycle in warm years.

The only real plus to the warm and dry weather in the garden seems to have been a suppression of fungal disease like scab on apples or blight on tomatoes.

By now, the air has cleared up and the kids are heading back to school. There are fall crops of apples, pears and plums to harvest, along with the gar-den. After about a year of not having any spare time to plant in my test orchard, we put in four kinds of hazel-nut trees developed in Oregon to be resistant to the eastern filbert blight. Oregon grows about 99 per cent of the hazelnuts in the U.S.A. and most of them are for export, according to the growers there. These little trees were tis-sue cultured — grown in a lab and test-ed to be free of the disease. That is how they were allowed into the country.

Another import tree that I’m testing

out is the Balaton sour cherry. It is from Hungary originally and has a sweet tart taste that is becoming more popular for eating fresh. Most folks think sour cherries are for processing. We also planted some of the more common tart cherries, Montmorency. They are known to be rich in antioxi-dants and can help to fight heart dis-ease and cancer. To my knowledge, cherries all have some anti-inflamma-tory properties that help relieve the pain of arthritis and gout.

We also took advantage of the lull in nursery activity in the last week of August to plant a hedge of Sky Rocket junipers. These low-maintenance plants are drought tolerant and deer resistant. They won’t grow too wide so they were planted on a four-foot spacing. The rain even came along and helped water them in. I’ll still make sure they get a good soak once a week until freeze-up.

Remember that any containerized plants can be planted throughout the growing season. They aren’t losing any roots, just gaining extra space to grow into. Digging plants from the field is a little different, though. Think fall or spring for those operations.

Nursery Notes

To the Editor:It rained! And thank goodness the

rain was not accompanied by lightning. It appears the water users of Arrow Creek lucked out again. We surely dodged a bullet this summer, a bullet that will, I’m sure, strike home some summer day in the future.

I believe it is inevitable that Arrow Creek will suffer a fire during some future dry spell. And how destructive that fire will be to its forest, its flora, its soil and the quality of its water will depend on where the fire gets started and how long the fire burns. If the fire starts in an area easily accessed by fire-fighters, then we should be able to limit the damage. But if lightning should start a fire in one of the creek’s inaccessible areas (its headwaters area, for example) then all bets would be off as to estimating what damage the creek would sustain.

Access to the creek’s headwaters area by earthbound firefighters (and their equipment) is, and would be, hugely limited. So a fire in that area would, no doubt, be fought (initially at least) by helicopters carrying water or chemical retardant. Water would have to be buck-eted from Kootenay Lake or its river, and retardant flown from the Lister airport. Either way, round trips from those places to a fire in the back of Arrow Creek would take time, and time and distance are critical factors in how quickly heli-copters get the jump on a fire.

Even though there are several small lakes in the general area of Arrow Creek, I feel strongly that those tiny, environmentally vulnera-ble mountain lakes should never be required to sacrifice water (and fish) to fight a fire.

People in our valley have, this past summer, witnessed two examples of for-est fires that were started by lightning, fought initially from the air (helicopters), later by firefighters and helicopters, burned for several weeks and were even-tually extinguished by a natural event. The Parker Ridge (Idaho) and Mount Midgely fires should be viewed as exam-ples of what could very well be Arrow Creek’s fate if it was to suffer a fire. But, there are things that could be done that would cut down the chances of a fire (in our town’s most important water source) becoming the major fire that destroys for-est, soil and water quality. But that is another story entirely.

Oh, yes, there was another downside to this summer’s heatwave. Some water controllers say brown lawns are beauti-ful, but I doubt if local realtors or the people trying to sell their homes and property in Creston think that brown is beautiful. I don’t believe this “scorched earth look” helped sell Creston as the place to settle down in, this summer.

People of Creston and Erickson: We need to preserve what we have and seek more of what we are short of — water!

Norman SimmonsCreston

(Editor’s Note: Several copies of Simmons’ publication, Water: Who Needs It? (featured in the May 7 issue), which discusses the Creston Valley’s water supply, are now available at the Creston Valley Public Library.

To the Editor:On May 16, I had the privilege of

meeting in person B.C. Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon when she visited Creston. It

was quite an experience indeed! I also met Justin Trudeau when he came to town in the summer of 2013. He seemed like a very nice young man.

With our 42nd federal election just 39 days away, I thought this would be a good time to share my conservative philosophy with you, which includes a wee bit a history lesson, so please bear with me.

During the late 1970s, I became politically active for the first time when I was a supporter of the NDP. However, by the early 1980s, I was becoming disillusioned with the direc-tion the party was taking. Then, one day, it happened: I experienced an epiphany that can only be described as a feeling of being reborn, and made the decision to forever become a conserva-tive because I wanted to do my part to defeat communism, thus bringing a peaceful end to the Cold War without ever having to fire a shot!

Fast-forward to 2015: The greatest threat to world peace is ISIS, which is the most evil and sinister enemy since fascism, and must be defeated in order to prevent a possible third world war.

Anyway, back to our federal elec-tion, which may very well be the most historic in Canadian history. It is imperative that everyone should partic-ipate in the political process — includ-ing more women, First Nations and all our young people, because you would be surprised by how powerful the democratic system can be when it is properly harnessed!

So on Oct. 19, vote with your heart and soul for whomever you feel would make the best prime minister, as well as for the benefit of future generations. And who knows? Someday it may be possible for the five parties (Conservative, Liberal, New Democrat, Green and Bloc Québécois) to work together in order to create a beautiful heaven-on-Earth society for every man, woman and child (with a little help from the Lord, that is).

In conclusion, take care, and I will see you at the all candidates’ forum on Oct. 1. It should prove to be most enlightening!

SPECIAL OLYMPICS CRESTON

On Aug. 31, Special Olympics Creston held its annual barbecue and registration for athletes at Centennial Park.

Overwaitea Foods generously donated all of the buns and condiments for the hamburgers and hotdogs, and Famous Fritz donated the deli-cious hamburgers and uberdogs. A birthday cake was served in honour of one longtime executive member Shelagh Schmidt, who has worked with Special Olympics for over 30 years.

Along with the evening the Special Olympics fundraising draw took place with Jennifer Chambers drawing the winning tickets for first, second and third place. Chambers is a wonderful quilter and graciously donated a king-size quilt to Special Olympics for a fundraiser to help send four of Creston athletes to the nationals in Newfoundland in 2016, as well as other expenses.

Peggy Skelton won the quilt (first) prize, with Joe Schlapsi winning second prize (hockey stick autographed by the Vancouver Canucks’ Daniel Sedin) and Corinne and Clair Lemarie winning third (hemp rucksack donated by Evergreen store).

“Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt,” says the Special Olympics oath.

Fundraising with raffle ticket draws and the annual bottle drive are Creston Special Olympics’ main source of income. It does apply for any grants that are available each year, and will always be eager to accept donations from anyone who cares to donate both their dollars and their time in help-ing out with many ongoing programs. Any and all donations are greatly accepted and appreciated.

There are a lot of expenses that come along with 10 different sports that athletes can join up for and participate in. These sports include bowling, (pres-ently Creston’s largest event), floor hockey (in which four athletes will participate at the nation-als), swimming, bocce, golf, rhythmic gymnastics, curling, T-ball, power lifting and fundamentals. Some of the expenses include purchasing of sports equipment for all of the different programs, facility rental where athletes practice and program regis-tration costs, as well as expenses in travel through-out the year for competitions and lodging.

This year on Sept. 12, Special Olympics Creston will be having its annual bottle drive. Extra Foods generously donated 1,750 bags to use in the collec-tion of bottles. Along with these bags, athletes, staff and executive members have printed, rolled and delivered fliers to 12 different areas in Creston. Thank you to all of our hard workers and also to the seniors from Crest View Village wanting to help out and support.

If you haven't received a flier at your door by Sept. 12, but would like to donate, call 250-402-3008. Special Olympics also has an account set up at Columbia Bottle Recycling where bottles and cans can be donated throughout the year. The bot-tle drive will be starting at 8:30 a.m., and the collec-tion of bottles and cans will run until 1 p.m.

Creston Special Olympics extends its appre-ciation in advance for the upcoming donations. Without the community’s help, Special Olympics Creston would not be able to continue.

Changes starting at Red JadeRED JADE MARTIAL ARTS

After 26 years of learning and teach-ing martial arts, shifu Neil Ripski is high demand for workshops worldwide. In the past year, he has taught in Italy, Israel and the U.S.A. This fall, he will be returning to Europe and Israel to teach.

Red Jade Martial Arts also serves as a meeting place for instructors from around the world. Teachers from China, Israel, Scotland, New York, Chicago and other part of the U.S.A. travel to Creston to participate in Ripski’s full-time train-ing course.

As of this fall, Ripski will be restruc-turing his classes in a manner compara-ble to traditional Chinese kung fu fami-lies. The family will accept students from the public only twice a year, and evaluate them as potential training par-ticipants. As with a traditional family, the training will be done in small groups, with no secrets withheld.

Several instructors teach at Red Jade, as well as many skilled international instructors. Current instructors include Ripski, a master of drunken boxing; David Huscroft, a second-degree black sash; and Jason Deatherage, a third-

degree black sash. David Mannes, a first-degree black sash from New York, is teaching at Red Jade early this month.

Red Jade Martial Arts has moved to a new location at 3305 Erickson Rd., and will accept new students only in September and January, unless the potential participant is invited by anoth-er existing family member. For a drop-in fee, prospective students can come to a class, to see if they are interested in join-ing the Red Jade family.

For more information, email [email protected] or visit Red Jade Martial Arts on Facebook.

CRESTONCONCERT SOCIETY

Hurrah! The dry spell in the weather appears to be over, and it’s accompanied by a new season of excellent performances brought to you by Creston Concert Society, pleased to present another five outstanding profession-al acts in the genres of classical and traditional folk music, as well as innovative dance.

Virtuosic showpiec-es, romantic tenor arias, pyrotechnical solos, blazing gypsy show pieces and a world accordion champion — this is the season open-er, the return of Quartetto Gelato. It was a big hit after its appear-ance in Creston several years ago, and sure to please again when it returns Sept. 29. With sold-out performances throughout the world, this dazzling ensemble has enchanted audienc-es and critics world-wide with its exotic blend of musical virtu-osity and artistic pas-sion. Classical in train-ing — eclectic by design — Quartetto Gelato not only thrills its audienc-es with its multi-instru-

Five performances slated for concert society season

ment mastery, but its repertoire of classical masterworks, arias, tangos, folk songs, theatrical stage presence and relaxed humour establishes an intimate rapport with audiences worldwide.

Hailing from Prince Edward Island, Gordie MacKeeman and the Rhythm Boys bring their exhilarating live show to Creston on Nov. 17. The band instantly enamours audiences

with engaging, sometimes jaw-drop-ping, stagecraft and showmanship. With flavours of traditional bluegrass and roots music bolstered by stun-ning musicianship, the group takes to the world stage, including theatres across Canada, Ireland, Belgium, Malaysia and Australia, and the leg-endary Glastonbury Festival.

Borealis String Quartet is one of five presentations in the Creston Concert

The band features MacKeeman (fiddle, feet, and vocals), Mark Geddes (bass, drums, percussion, mandolin, and banjo), Thomas Webb (vocals, banjo, guitar, pedal steel guitar, and bass) and Peter Cann (vocals and guitar).

Borealis String Quartet starts the new year off right, appearing Jan. 16. One of the most dynamic and exciting world-class ensembles of its generation, the Borealis String Quartet, consisting of Bo Peng (cellist), Nikita Pogrebnoy (violist), Patricia Shih (violinist) and Yuel Yawney (violinist), has received international critical acclaim as an ensemble praised for its fiery performances, passionate style and refined musical interpretation.

Borealis has toured extensively and per-formed to enthusiastic sold-out audi-ences in major cities in North America, Europe and Asia. Strongly committed to the great traditional quartet literature, the group actively seeks to promote new works and is a strong advocate of Canadian music, including R. Murray Schafer, Omar Daniels, John Stetch and Peter Tiefenbach.

The matinee presentation of iLumi-Dance on Feb. 28 makes it perfect to bring a young aspiring dancer to. Utilizing electro-luminescent wire, fibre optic fabric, black light and other special effects, Rainbow Dance Theatre’s artistic directors create a world of wonder in iLumiDance, delighting audiences young and adult with its magic and humour. This tour-de-force of virtuosic dancing and cutting-edge technology opens on a darkened stage with illumi-

nated puppets and dancers, where crea-tures appear to float, swim and dance. The audience is transported into a world of wonder and surprises where humans morph into animals, flowers grow to amazing proportions and defy gravity, and serpents and owls disembody and reassemble in the blink of an eye!

The final performance of the season features the Symphony of the Kootenays on April 10. Founded in 1975 in Kimberley, SOTK has been delighting the region’s residents ever since. Today, the symphony boasts 46 musicians, 29 of whom live and work in the Kootenays. Jeff Faragher, SOTK’s principal cellist for several years and current music and artistic director, is known for his energy, presence and desire to connect with audiences, and brings a fresh and exciting quality to the stage that draws the listener in. Celebrating its 40th anniversary season, SOTK presents

Symphonic Energy, and will feature clari-net soloist Nicole Eggerton and will include the uplifting “Symphony No. 2 in C Minor” by Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky, Mozart’s “Clarinet Concerto in A Major”, as well as “Frenergy” by John Estacio.

An additional bonus this season is that as you lose yourself in the entertainment, you will also lose yourself in the new comfortable seating in the Prince Charles Theatre, thanks to the efforts of the Creston Community Auditorium Society in conjunction with numerous other com-munity groups.

Season’s passes are available at the Creston Valley Fall Fair for early bird prices of $90 for adults or two for $170; after the fair, passes are $95 for adults, $45 for stu-dents and $245 for families, available at Creative Fix.

Retirement Living at it’s Best

In this modern age there is no reason that seniors shouldn’t have the best retirement possible. The ideals of having a comfortable home, being able to set your own schedule based upon your interests, exceptionally delicious and nutritious food with the company of others: this should be the norm, not the exception. Seniors should be able to live in a place that ensures they can maintain their independence while also having their needs met, instead of just a ‘home on the hill,’ Fortunately Silver Kettle Village believes in the higher quality of life and aims to provide an entirely new form of housing to seniors that will ensure all residents will have the most opportunity to experience the best years of their life, on their terms.

Silver Kettle Village is an amazing community located at an ideal location in Grand Forks, British Columbia. It features a variety of apartment sizes to suit any senior’s lifestyle ranging from studio apartments to two bedrooms supported with various cooking and cleaning services to ensure that seniors can spend more time living their lives and less time worrying about scrubbing the floors. Included in each of these maintenance-free suites is a range of features designed to accommodate even the most independent resident’s desires, while still having 24-hour emergency monitoring service for a little extra piece of mind. Full kitchens are laid out to be as bright and comfortable as possible and come with a stove and refrigerator to allow for the preparation of personal meals or snacks anytime. Each suite is also equipped with its own personal heat and air conditioning to allow the residents to decide their personal comfort level.

Stepping beyond the privacy of their personal suite, residents will find a wide range and variety of common and shared areas including a fully stocked library, on-site beauty salons, a luxurious and relaxing spa room, a games room filled with a variety of leisure opportunities, and an activity-room which hosts a range of interesting events and entertainment. All this is supplemented with several very cozy and conveniently-placed

lounges. Each of these areas is easily accessible, and help to encourage the strong sense of community that makes the Village such a wonderful place to be. Silver Kettle Village also realizes just how much pets are a part of the family which is why the building is completely pet friendly, encouraging residents to bring their companions with them to share their suite.

The hospitality services come with no extra charge to the affordable monthly rent which allow residents to enjoy worry-free benefits like the 24-hour emergency monitoring, weekly housekeeping, the wide variety of daily social and recreational activities, as well as the complimentary shuttle bus. Also of note is the fantastic central dining room which is both elegant and intimate with its own fireplace. There, residents can enjoy delicious meals which are prepared by on-site chefs, and are served by a passionate and cheerful wait staff who are always happy to welcome guests and family to any meal.

In addition to these wonderful amenities, utility bills including water, heat, air conditioning, and cable television are covered by the low-monthly rent, allowing seniors to spend less time worrying about bills and more time enjoying their retirement.

Silver Kettle Village’s location in Grand Forks is only a short drive away from the small town’s historic downtown which is filled with an array of shops and services. Nestled in the Kootenay Boundary, one can be assured of spectacular and scenic views of the surrounding mountains. This setting only adds to a peaceful and relaxing environment that Silver Kettle Village aims to provide for its residents. With many parks, golf courses, and the magnificent Christina Lake located nearby there is an abundance of adventure to be had.

CANADA’S FUTURE, YOUR CHOICE.

BY BRIAN COOMBSKootenay News Advertiser

Sometimes when a person leaves the community and then gets back in touch, you find that they are living a quiet, average life, much like your own.

This is not the case with Leeane Vanderkooi, the proud owner of Casa Kootenay, a resort-like bed and breakfast in La Paz, Mexico. She is also a College of the Rockies graduate with strong ties to the area.

“I was born in Legal, a small village north of Edmonton,” said Vanderkooi. “It was a fran-cophone community and all family relations mostly.”

After graduating high school in Westlock (another small Alberta community near Legal), she went to the College of the Rockies, eventually becoming a social worker.

With her parents living in Creston and running the Sunset Motel, she travelled around the area and made the most of her time here.

“My Cranbrook times were all about hiking in Marysville, parties in Kimberley, hanging out at Jimsmith or Mineral Lake and spending tons of time on Moyie Lake,” said Vanderkooi. “In Creston, I could work at the brewery during summer vaca-tion or the Bistro on Main. I would hike West Creston, fish on Duck Lake or wakeboard on Kootenay Lake. I remember the smell of the brewery, the lazy days in Centennial Park, bush parties, cliff jumping at the point or tubing the river. I remember looking for the shad-ow of bigfoot on the Kokanee cans and I hope to replicate that black and white outline on my pool wall here in La Paz.”

Shortly after leaving college and while doing social work with local teens, Leeane took a three-month sabbatical to go SCUBA diving in Cyprus.

Those three months turned into 10 years of SCUBA diving and working on liveaboard boats. Some of the places she worked included Alaska, Canada’s west coast, Bahamas, Thailand, Philippines, Palau, Honduras and Mexico.

“In the 10 years I worked in 10 different locations and only three were in resorts. All the jobs were guiding or teaching recreational SCUBA diving. We were at sea all week with one night at port.”

Those years at sea enabled Vanderkooi to rack up tens of thousands of hours of SCUBA time.

“On liveaboards you rack up your hours quickly. One year I did five dives a day and many years it was four dives a day. I was so addicted to diving I would go on dive trips on my time off.”

She would guide guests on underwater adventures. While this was rewarding work, she noted that sometimes it got dangerous.

“Some would think they know best and get into a real pickle and I would have to get them out.” remembered Vanderkooi. “Getting stuck in a wreck from silting up the area, or getting caught in current streams or their drysuits malfunctioning and them getting scared stiff. Try hauling up a grown man in dry-suit gear and weights when they are too scared to help. Ugh.”

But the rewards were more than worth any risk.

“Some of the coolest things are diving with 25-foot mantas flying over you and sinking on top of you because they crave attention, or a prowfish sitting on the sea bottom in the open and staring at you as you get close enough to breathe on it,” said Vanderkooi. “Or dancing with a giant pacific octopus that decides to jump on you and you can’t see him because of your mask, so you are yelling into your regulator and wondering what he is doing — or identify-ing a fish smaller than your pinky nail, or the best, seeing your guest’s face screaming with happiness and satisfaction after a great dive. Love seeing people happy with what I produced and that could be a reason why I went into the B&B business.”

When asked what she miss-es most about Canada, Vanderkooi talks of the simple pleasures of this country.

“I miss the smell of grass, the smell of clean rain, the trees in the mountains, fresh water swimming and fluctuating weather that keeps you guess-ing. Package me some soup, kraft dinner, hickory sticks, Hawkins Cheezies, marble cheese and summer sausage – oh, and music concerts and pou-tine. But I have never regretted my decision to move to Mexico.”

For Vanderkooi, La Paz was an obvious choice to start her business. The community has waterfront property, great div-ing and is a fairly quick flight back home. Moving into life as a business person did involve some pretty dramatic changes in lifestyle, however.

To begin with, she moved to Calgary to make money. She gave herself five years and managed to get enough for the business within three years. While she loved her job, living in that city was difficult for Vanderkooi, but it enabled her to start her business.

“It was my first time buying a house anywhere and the first time starting a business any-where,” explained Vanderkooi. “It was my first time staying in one location long enough to buy bulk toilet paper or towels, so I didn’t really have a frame of reference in terms of hurdles to overcome.”

She added that being in Mexico, it is a different culture in a business sense and a per-son has to be both lenient and patient. Marketing can also be a challenge and she has to keep up with constantly changing tax regimes.

That said, Vanderkooi enjoys being part of a community now and staying in one place.

“I have friends here. On the boat you have co-workers that are friends and guests that are like family, but they change every week. Here, at Casa Kootenay, I didn’t expect for people to love and appreciate me so much. It makes me feel really good. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do.”

Visitors to Casa Kootenay can expect great home-cooked food, snorkeling near a sunken ship, a neaby mangrove habi-tat, paddle boards and aquatic visitors like whale sharks and

Mexico dream reality for former Crestonitedolphins. The B&B has private com-fortable rooms, with well-tended gardens, a terrace with a spectacu-lar view of bay and a pool, to name only a few of the amenities.

For more information on the B&Bm visit www.casakootenay.com, Casa Kootenay Bed and Breakfast on Facebook or email Vanderkooi at [email protected].

1. The most important issue in Kootenay-Columbia is creat-ing a thriving economy in a healthy environment. We need more local jobs that provide family-supporting incomes, especially for young people. Fostering small business and renewable energy, strengthening our agriculture sector, support-ing sustainable forestry, respon-sible mining and tourism are essential for our long-term pros-perity. Investment in clean tech-nology has been called the great-est business opportunity of this century.

The Green Party will estab-lish a Green Venture Capital Fund to aid small business start-ups and will reduce the corporate tax rate on small business. Green Party policy supports community economic development with taxation and incentive programs aimed at

municipal infrastructure renewal, energy-efficient home construction and renovation, and clean energy. Many of the building blocks are already in place here. Given the opportu-nity, the people of Kootenay-Columbia have the ingenuity, initiative, smarts and skills to build a resilient, diversified low-carbon economy.

2. Proportional representa-tion is a Green Party priority. Green MPs will begin work immediately to legislate the end of first-past-the-post vot-ing by establishing an all-party democratic voting commission that will (1) review past research, (2) conduct a public consultation on the style of proportional representation best suited to Canada, and (3) make recommendations to Parliament, including draft leg-islation, within 12 months. Electoral reform is of critical importance if we want to rein-vigorate our democracy. A Green government will further strengthen our democracy by reducing the power of the Prime Minister’s Office, and will never force its MPs to vote on party lines.

1. The biggest issue or need in this riding is the need for strong representation in Ottawa and the need to begin working together as a region on the issues that affect rural regions. Close to 80 per cent of

Canadians live in urban commu-nities, and rural issues are not highly visible on the national agenda. We need to have an MP who understand those issues and who can work across sectors and regions within the riding to begin to raise the profile of those issues and to build a new approach to working together.

We need to remember that the primary responsibility of a mem-ber of Parliament is to represent the riding in Ottawa. We need an MP who understands that, who has the skills and experience to do that effectively and who will be accountable to voters in the rid-ing. I will hold annual account-ability meetings in every commu-nity in the riding.

2. As part of a national engage-ment process, we will ensure that electoral reform measures — such as ranked ballots, proportional representation, mandatory voting and online voting — are fully and fairly considered by a special all-party parliamentary committee. Within 18 months of forming gov-ernment, we will bring forward legislation to enact electoral reform.

Our plan for a fair and open government moves far beyond electoral reform to include demo-cratic parliamentary committees, free votes, strengthening Elections Canada, an independent Senate and voter training for high school students. It is a sweeping agenda for real change that better reflects the values of Canadians.

Unfortunately this govern-ment’s lack of respect for Parliament is matched by a lack of respect for MPs. Millions of Canadians thought they elected people to be their community’s voice in Ottawa, then watched those same people become Stephen Harper’s voice in their communities. That is something I can change right here.

1. From a democratic stand-point, the biggest issue in Kootenay-Columbia is electing a member of Parliament who will be a strong voice for the people of this area and who will deal with your issues in a respectful and timely way, and to have a government that shares your values.

I have spent my entire work-ing life in public service. I understand your values, your daily challenges and how gov-ernment choices can have a sig-nificant impact on your lives.

My priorities are to help cre-ate jobs and to support families with a $15-a-day per child child-care program. I am committed to ensuring that universal health care continues, improving income for seniors and treating our veterans with respect.

In order to accomplish this we need to elect a new govern-ment: a government committed to putting you first.

May 28, 1939 ~ September 3, 2015O� tuaries

In this riding, the NDP is the only choice to stop Stephen Harper and his reckless agenda for Canada.

2. An NDP government will bring in proportional representa-tion. I am committed to making this election the last election to use the first-past-the-post voting sys-tem. No longer will a party with only 38 per cent of the vote be able to form a majority and, as a result, act with no regard for the 62 per cent who did not vote for them.

Bringing in proportional rep-resentation will result in a more diverse and representative Parliament. And it will ensure that every vote counts. In this election, voters are having to consider voting strategically to ensure that Stephen Harper does not form another majority.

This is why I’m asking voters in Kootenay-Columbia to vote together for the NDP to stop Stephen Harper. My promise to traditional Green and Liberal voters in this area is that once the NDP brings in proportional representation you will never have to vote strategically again.

1. The main priorities for me in Kootenay-Columbia will continue to be infrastructure for both municipal and regional govern-ment and improvements to the Trans-Canada Highway. The Build Canada Fund, a $53 billion investment over 10 years, will provide communities with the

ability to work on infrastructure priorities. This year, funding was approved for Nakusp, Revelstoke, Golden, Fernie, Regional District of East Kootenay Area A and Creston. I will continue to ensure that funding for the Trans-Canada Highway is constant and consis-tent, building on the nearly $300 million of improvements since 2011. This includes projects at Clan Williams, Donald Bridge twinning and improvements throughout the National Parks.

2. Through referendum, citi-zens in the provinces of Ontario, B.C. and P.E.I. have rejected pro-portional representation and have voted to keep the first-past-the-post system. The Conservative Party supports the current system of first-past-the-post.

1. I believe that an MP’s prima-ry role is to listen to the constitu-ents in their riding and bring those issues to Parliament. Instead of telling everyone what I believe to be the greatest issue or need is, I want to hear from the people liv-ing and dealing with the issues

and needs that directly affect them. There will be a variety of answers to this question to reflect the myriad of issues in this riding. It is my belief that if elected it would be my duty to act as an extension of the people’s voice.

My personal primary issue is food security. In 2014, a feasibility study revealed that the West Kootenay alone was listed as importing 95 per cent of their food and spending $224 million annually on consumption. Would

not our local economy benefit if a larger portion of that money sup-ported our local food producers?

Of that 95 per cent, a good majority is imported from California, with droughts, fires and honeybee declines affecting pollination of major crops, which leaves our area vulnerable in terms of food security. We can avoid food shortages and price inflations through localizing food and buying local initiatives.

2. Libertarian Party leader Tim Moen endorses proportional rep-resentation being implemented in the Canadian electoral system; he encourages candidates to educate themselves on the variety of pro-portional representation options available and align ourselves with voting on the system that best supports our individual views. We would create a special joint standing committee equally formed of MPs and senators to examine reform options for the House of Commons elections and Senate appointments. The Libertarian party would introduce and vote on a form of proportion-al representation before the next elections were to be held. I per-sonally believe fair election reform needs to be introduced as soon as possible to properly restore democracy in Canada.

Referral Notice - Kalesnikoff Lumber Co. Ltd. 2016-2021 Forest Stewardship Plan for Forest Licenses A20194 - Arrow TSA

and A30172 - Kootenay Lake TSA.Please be advised that Kalesnikoff Lumber Co. Ltd. is advertising a Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) to cover the entire area of Arrow and Kootenay Lake Timber Supply Areas, while excluding all actively managed area-based tenures including Woodlots, Community Forests and Tree Farm Licences.

The Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) is a landscape level plan, which is focused on establishing objectives, strategies, and results for conserving and protecting timber and non-timber resource values within crown lands slated for future forest management activities. The FSP is the primary referral process for notifying the public, First Nations, and government agencies as to the location of Forest Development Units (FDU's) and the strategies and results that will apply to the respective FDU's.

The objective of this notice is to provide resource users with an opportunity to identify areas of concern within FDU's to ensure that concerns are addressed prior to development of an area of crown land allocated for the company's forest development activities. Comments specific to the FDU's will be recorded and kept on record to ensure that comments are considered at the development stage. The FSP is available for public review at Kalesnikoff’s office in Thrums (2090 Highway 3A) during regular business hours 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Alternatively, the FSP can be viewed on the company website www.kalesnikoff.com with a corresponding email for the public to provide written comments on the plan.

For concerns to be reflected in the final submission of the FSP, Kalesnikoff encourages all potentially affected stakeholders to submit their comments by email to [email protected] or in writing, attention of the undersigned by October 15, 2015.

This year, the club will be having a silent auction with all proceeds going to Isobel “Izzy” Nixon and her family. She is the seven-year-old granddaughter of one of the club members, and she was diagnosed with brain cancer in December 2014. After nine months of treat-ment, she is in remission, but the family still has many expenses, as they must travel to Calgary for MRIs for the next few years. There will be a variety of pieces to choose

from to support this cause, includ-ing paintings by Izzy’s grandmoth-er, Carol Huscroft. There will also be cards made by Izzy’s great-grandmother, Chris Herchmer.

Come out and support to Nixon family, and enjoy an opportunity to surround yourself with creativity, bountiful colours and local artwork!

The art club’s show runs 2-9 p.m. Sept. 11 and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sept. 12, with artists in attendance Friday from 7-9.

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.
