Shooting suspect arrested

BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor

A 52-year-old Wynndel resident was arrested early in the morning on Sept. 30 after a lengthy standoff with police.

Police set up containment on the sus-pected offender’s property after an indi-vidual called Creston RCMP at 2:25 p.m. Sept. 29, believing that his work crew was being shot at while working in the 5500 block of Highway 3A in Wynndel.

Officers requested the assistance of a Southeast District emergency response team (ERT), including a negotiator, and closed the highway once the ERT arrived.

Around 1 a.m. Sept. 30, said a media release from the RCMP, “the suspect became extremely agitated and ended all communications with the negotiator. At 1:55 a.m., it is unknown why, but the sus-pect … exited his residence, possibly to confront police, but was arrested by offi-cers who were in a tactical position to do so safely. During the arrest, a minor struggle ensued and the suspect received minor injuries, which he was treated for at hospital.”

Police have confirmed no one had been struck by any of the bullets that were fired.

“The motive for the shooting is unknown at this time and with this inves-tigation being in its very early stages, in order to protect the integrity of it, and that of any future court process, no further information will be released at this time,” said the release.

The Creston RCMP detachment com-mander extended his thanks to the com-munity for pitching in during the incident and highway closure, which lasted until about 2 a.m.

“We appreciate the understanding of people who were inconvenienced ... and those that provided assistance to stranded motorists from the area,” said Creston Staff Sgt. Darryl Hammond.

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

On the day after electric car charging stations were activated on Sept. 29, Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce executive director Jim Jacobsen was surprised to see a Tesla owner drive up and ask if the chargers were available for use.

“I thought it might be two or three months before one got used,” Jacobsen said. “I did not expect to see a Tesla the day after the char-gers ‘went live’.”

Three chargers for battery-pow-ered vehicles have been installed. Two — one specifically for Tesla

vehicles and the other for compet-ing models — are now at the cham-ber of commerce and a third, also for Teslas, is now at the Town of Creston’s Cook Street parking lot.

Mayor Ron Toyota introduced the idea during the summer when he learned that Tesla was providing free charging systems for suitable locations. The Highway 3 mayor’s committee had discussed making Highway 3 electric vehicle friendly and promoting the service to attract drivers.

Town staff put in an application and a donation of three chargers was arranged. Funding for the installation was provided through

The Creston Valley Farmers’ Market could be relocating all of its indoor markets to Creston and District Community Complex.

Market manager Jen Comer received support for the idea at the Oct. 1 Creston Valley Services Committee meeting.

“We have been struggling with the issue of location,” Comer told regional directors.

The space at Morris Flowers Greenhouse, which has been used for several years each fall, is popular, she said, but the market has outgrown it.

The community complex was tested last winter.

“Last year, the Creston Room worked really well,” Comer said.

One of the sticking points is the difference in rent, she said. At $271 per use, the Creston Room is more than 50 per cent more expensive than Morris Garden Centre.

“The cost of the Creston room is the same whether it is empty or completely set up for an event with chairs and tables,” she said.

Comer asked if a lower price could be negotiated for longer-term use, bringing the rental fee in line with the greenhouse.

“We have been very sup-portive of the farmers’ market, we enjoy having it here,” said Randy Feduik, community complex manager.

He said lower rates for “long-standing bulk use” have been negotiated in the past.

“Would the farmers’ market consider a weekday market?” asked Tanya Wall, Regional District of Central Kootenay Area B director. “The Creston Room is less busy during the week and weekdays might generate more traffic from peo-ple on site for other programs.”

“Absolutely,” said Comer. “We know Saturdays and Sundays aren’t practical (at the community complex). We have

discussed Wednesday after-noons with staff.”

She said a Wednesday win-ter market could help make a transition to an outdoor week-day market downtown, which would be in addition to the traditional Saturday market.

“Wednesday works really well for Nelson on Baker Street,” Area A director Garry Jackman said. “It’s probably better than the weekend when people are busy with other things.

“I am 100 per cent support-ive if there is a plan to end the contract in two or three years.”

Comer said the market’s goal is to create a year-round indoor space for a market and that a move to the community complex would not be consid-ered permanent. She also said the move would require the support of vendors.

“You have the blessing of the committee,” chair and Area C director Larry Binks said. “The staff will work with you.”

Chamber car charger used day after installationthe Regional District of Central Kootenay’s economic develop-ment fund for Areas B and C and the Town of Creston.

“It is amazing how quickly this has happened,” Toyota said. “Thanks to Sun Country Highways (a Tesla corpora-tion), our staff and the chamber of commerce for working together on this.”

Jacobsen said the driver, an electrician from Castlegar, noticed the charger when he drove into town. The service was so new that it hadn’t yet been included on a mobile phone app that Tesla drivers use to locate servers.

While a full charge takes about one hour, the Tesla owner said new chargers can do the job in about a 10th of the time. Toyota didn’t express much enthusiasm for speedier char-gers, though, saying the sta-tions were installed to encour-age drivers and their passen-gers to spend a bit of time

walking around downtown and exploring businesses.

“We want to encourage visi-tors to see what our community

has to offer,” he said. “The char-gers are all about exposure for our businesses and the conve-nience of electric car owners.”

When Bob Domenjoz wanted a new manure spreader, he did something better than simply buying a new one — he enlisted the help of longtime friend Don Stace-Smith to build one from scratch.

“It’s better than one that’s manufactured,” Domenjoz said. “It’s stronger. It won’t bend or twist.”

It was cheaper, too, said Domenjoz, owner of two miniature horses and a quarter horse. A new manufactured spreader would have been about $4,000 for one; this one was under $2,000.

Stace-Smith, a journeyman millwright, appre-ciated the opportunity to create something new. He built a boat when he was 14, and project in the decades since have included a crossbow pis-tol and geodesic dome.

“I’ve made all kinds of ‘weird things, strange and wonderful,’ my sister says,” said Stace-Smith.

He prefers to create only one of everything, though.

“The challenge is for the first one,” said Stace-Smith. “After that, you’re like a machine.”

Part of the challenge for this was to figure out the drive system, which required the wheels to propel the spreader forward, while the track in the bed and flails at the rear turn the opposite direction to spread the manure. The result is a complicated — at least, to the layperson — sys-tem of gears and chains.

“There’s a lot of little finicky work,” said Domenjoz (who has himself built a four-wheeled buggy — and wants to build an artillery tank).

“Even making square holes with a file takes time,” added Stace-Smith.

Altogether, the project took about two months of weekends and some evenings before it was completed Sept. 11.

Domenjoz laughed when he admitted to some surprise during the early stages of construction when he saw that the frame looked nothing like what he’d imagined.

“I had the frame upside-down and he couldn’t figure out what was going on,” said Stace-Smith.

“Now, I can take it apart and put it back together,” added Domenjoz.

The project turned out to be a success, and with the spreader painted a slick red and black, matching the quad used to pull it, Domenjoz has found the scratch-built manure spreader to be quite a time saver. It holds about a ton, and it takes him 10 minutes to load it and five to unload it.

“For me, it’s a miracle,” said Domenjoz. “I don’t have to shovel anymore. I just put it in gear and away I go.”

Creston town council got back to local business with a regular meet-ing on Sept. 29 after spending the previous week in Vancouver at the annual Union of BC Municipalities convention.

A presentation by Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors community liaison Maureen Cameron outlined an application for funding a process to bring together all local providers of ser-vices to seniors.

TAPS is operated by Valley Community Services, which has made a grant application to the province.

“If our submission is successful, we would be convening all partners to confirm their participation, out-line the goals of the project, estab-lish levels of participation and out-line the next step,” Cameron said. “This would be up to a three-month process to develop the ideas for a service innovation project proposal for further funding.”

She said she was providing council with information only, and not requesting money or asking for a commitment for participation at this time.

Council Briefs•After receiving a verbal report

from town engineering manager Colin Farynowski at the Sept. 15 committee of the whole meeting, council directed staff to bring for-ward a draft integrated pesticide management policy for its consider-ation in the first quarter of 2016.

•Town staff have been directed to produce a report about existing town-owned off-street parking stalls that are available for rent or are currently rented. The report will also include options for generated revenue and encouraging local businesses to promote the use of town parking stalls for employees rather than parking on town streets.

•Two steel shipping containers will be purchased to provide stor-age for the town’s parade floats and other items. They will be set up at the town’s public works yard.

•Council approved an expendi-ture of $20,000 for the purchase of a multi-season dump box and belly plow for a newly purchased dump truck.

•Town staff will explore options to create a drop-off location for resi-dents to dispose of grass clippings and yard waste after the dumping of garbage forced a need to lock the gates at the town compost collec-tion point near the waste water treatment plant.

•After reviewing a written pre-sentation from Creston Valley Hospice Society, which included a financial statement, town council approved a $500 discretionary grant for the organization’s opera-tions. A similar grant was award-ed in 2014.

•Once again the Town of Creston will supply sand for the annual Creston Cubs and Scouts sandbag fundraiser. The sand is valued at $262.

•Mayor Ron Toyota and Couns. Joanna Wilson and Jim Elford will participate in an upcoming Strategic Community Energy and Emissions Planning workshop.

•Couns. Kevin Boehmer and Jen Comer will serve as members of the Youth Engagement Strategy select committee.

•A housekeeping amendment brings the hookup fees of new storm sewer connection to $3,000, in line with other connection charges.

•Council received a letter from a local couple who expressed their appreciation for the new Pine Street intersection and the land-scaping that is now in place.

•A letter asking whether the paved walking trails behind Millennium Park will be cleared of snow this winter will receive an affirmative response. The town has a brush attachment to clear sidewalks and trails, and the trails in question are assigned a priority 3 rating, which means they will be cleared after other priorities are completed.

•All council members and senior staff participated in a workshop

called “Are We on the Same Page?” on Monday and Tuesday. The session focused on planning and was facili-tated by well-known local government expert Gord McIntosh.

KOOTENAY AND BOUNDARY FOOD

PRODUCERS CO-OP

The Kootenay and Boundary Food Producers Co-op is excit-ed about its first year pilot and wants to share its success story on Oct. 17.

“This is the kind of help farmers everywhere can use,” said John Abenante of Earthy Organics in Fruitvale and founding member of the co-op. “We are really pleased with the pilot distribution project cur-rently underway ”

Regional secondary proces-sors are also connecting with suppliers through the co-op to source their ingredients locally.

The KBFPC is truly a service for locals by locals. The mem-

ber owned cooperative is fos-tering collaboration and servic-es for local growers and in so doing is keeping money in our community. The farmer mem-bers are proud to embrace the vision of integrity, thorough-ness and commitment to pro-moting local food consumption using sustainable and humane practices in our local food sources.

The official launch on Oct. 17, will be at the newly reno-vated Taghum Hall, located nine kilometres west of Nelson just past the Taghum Bridge. It begins with a community pot-luck dinner at 6 p.m. followed by a presentation and discus-sion at 7. Local producers and processors will be providing a “Taste of the Kootenays” with

samples of their products dur-ing the evening.

Then at 8:00 the party starts — live music will feature Ronnie Hayward on standup bass, gui-tar and vocals. Other musicians are welcome to join him for a lit-tle local jam making.

Event sponsors include Otter Books, the Kootenay Country Craft Distillery and the Nelson Star. All are wel-come.

The KBFPC members come from Grand Forks to Creston, from the border north to Naksup and Argenta. Interested food producers can email [email protected] for information or to arrange to showcase their prod-ucts at the launch, or visit www.kbfpc.ca.

With two wins on the week-end, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats maintained their second-place ranking in the Eddie Mountain Division of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League.

With 12 points and three games in hand, the Creston team sits behind the Kimberley Dynamiters, with 16 points, and ahead of the Fernie Ghostriders, with nine.

Fridays’ game was a 3-1 vic-tory over the Grand Forks Border Bruins, with Nicholas Kovacik, James Severs and Alec Wilkinsonn scoring Creston’s goals in the first period.

“We weren’t as happy with our last 40 minutes,” said head coach Jeff Dubois. “We got off to a good start and probably thought it was going to be easy the rest of the way, and didn’t respect the fact that Grand Forks works hard. …

“Sometimes, guys take for granted when you’re a team near the top of the standings that all you have to do is put on the uni-form and go out for a skate and bring home two points. The truth is, that’s not how it works.”

Dubois was pleased with the effort of goalie Jason Mailhiot, who stopped 26 Grand Forks shots, and the work ethic and energy of the line of Kovacik, Liam Plunkett and Dylan Hogue. Creston product Brody Ryan played his first game, creating scoring chances and making “good decisions with the puck.”

That game was also the first for newcomers Ian Desrosier, acquired by trading Liam Bell and Kyle Rosolowski to the Golden Rockets, and Reid Robertson, a former Border Bruins traded for Trey Mason.

Desrosier, Dubois said, was a top scorer last season and Golden’s captain this season prior to the trade, and created several scoring chances in his Creston games.

T-Cats second in division

“He’s a guy we think is gonna be a big part of our offense,” said Dubois.

At six feet, four inches and 210 pounds, the 19-year-old Desrosier “gives us a bit of a different look. He’s also a real smart puck mover and makes a good first pass.”

After a team meeting, Sunday’s effort against the Revelstoke Grizzlies was an improvement.

“I thought we did a much better job in terms of the little things you need to do to win games,” said Dubois.

Lien Miller-Jeannotte scored Creston’s first goal a minute into the game, with Jackson Bruce-Fuoco following five minutes later with a power-play goal. Ten minutes after Revelstoke’s only goal, Carson Cartwright scored with two minutes left in the period.

In the second period, Kovacik scored the Thunder Cats’ fourth goal on a power play with 0:57 remaining, and Jake Livingstone scored an unassisted empty-netter with 0:29 left in the third period.

Creston’s defence was strong in that game, said Dubois.

“All six of our guys came to the battle and were making pretty smart plays,” he said.

This weekend, the Thunder Cats host the Spokane Braves on Saturday, but first travel to Kimberley on Friday to take on the Dymamiters.

“We’re excited to see Kimberley for the first time,” Dubois said. “They’ve gotten off to a good start. We always use them as a measuring stick — everyone in the division does. … It’s going to be exciting for new guys to experience that rivalry for the first time.”

It is truly humbling, I thought as I scrolled through my email junk folder. What is this appeal that pushes dying wealthy women from around the world to contact me with offers of large sums of money?

That was my thought as I read through letters last week, letters that my email server had concluded were spam and not worthy of my consideration. The server has a cold heart, apparently, because the pleas can be gut wrenching. Like this one:

Dearest in the Lord,With all due respect and humanity,

I was forced to write in the humanitar-ian field.

I am a widow Mrs. Mary Benedict aging long-term sick (cancer). Are Currently admitted to a private hospi-tal. I have some funds I inherited from my husband, Benjamin Benedict, who later died in a car accident. When my husband was alive he deposited the sum of € 3,500.000 ((Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Euro) in the bank. Currently, this money is still in the bank.

My doctor Told me it would not last for a long time due to my cancer prob-lem. I need someone very honest and God-fearing or an organization that can use these funds for the work of God My late husband taught que this fund shouldnt be used for charitable purpos-es, such as building schools, houses of orphanages, hospitals, etc.

I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this fund and I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul. With God all things are possible. Please, if you would be able to use these funds for God’s work, kindly reply.

I want you to send me the Following information Referred below.

There can be no doubt that Mrs. Mary Benedict is showing the signs of “aging long term-sick (cancer)”

because she is definitely a little confused. She signs off the note as Sister Mary Benedict, which seems curious for a married woman, but I suppose someone with a “cancer problem” should be forgiven if she gets minor details wrong and makes the odd typo.

Mrs. Benedict isn’t as forthcom-ing about her illness as some of the other recent senders, which have come from women with endometri-al cancer, lung cancer and even blood cancer. Her letter caught my attention, though, because she refers to the totally believable sum of 3,500,000 Euros when others come in much higher, often 10,000,000 Euros, and are obvious scams. The rich women who are dying of cancer must be a close-knit group with which my name some-how resonates. I suppose they have shared my email address with hos-pital visitors, too, because not all the offers come from wealthy wid-ows. Consider this one, which must be legitimate because the sender knows enough to refer to himself as Alex Williams Esq. The addition of “Esq.” to his name verifies the validity of his message.

On behalf of the Trustees and Executor of the estate of Late Mr. Edwin Freeman, I once again try to notify you as my earlier letter was returned undelivered. I hereby attempt to reach you again by this same email

address on the WILL. I wish to notify you that late Mr. Edwin Freeman made you a beneficiary to his WILL. He left the sum of Five Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars (USD$5,100.000.00) to you in the codicil and last testament to his will.

This may sound strange and unbe-lievable to you, but it is real and true. Being a widely traveled man, he must have been in contact with you in the past or simply you were nominated to him by one of his numerous friends abroad who wished you good. Mr. Edwin Freeman until his death was a member of the Helicopter Society and the Institute of Electronic & Electrical Engineers. He was a very dedicated Christian who loved to give out. His great philanthropy earned him numer-ous awards during his lifetime.

Late Mr. Edwin Freeman died on the 16th day of February 2013 at the age of 90 years and his WILL is now ready for execution. According to him, this money is to support his Christian activities (May his soul rest with the Lord) and to help the poor and needy.

Please if I reach you as I am hope-ful, endeavor to get back to me as soon as possible to enable me conclude my job. I hope to hear from you in no dis-tant date.

Yours in His service,Alex Williams Esq.I could offer more proof that my

good name is held in high esteem, like the messages that are concerned with my not having received pack-ages I did not order, or one that asks for a copy of my passport so the International Monetary Fund Committee can release my “tagged diplomatic luggage 122” and deliver it to my door.

This is a generous and giving world I live in.

To the Editor:If you are interested in defeating

Stephen Harper this election, recent polling is saying it is very close between New Democrat Wayne Stetski and Conservative David Wilks with the Liberal candidate far behind. If people are thinking of voting Liberal, it will be a wasted vote, and if they wish to defeat the Conservatives, it would be in their best interest to vote NDP in the Kootenay-Columbia riding.

To the Editor:The latest major news is the mas-

sive influx of refugees from Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan into Europe. We don’t know the actu-al numbers, but we do know that they are all refugees from the American predatory wars. Apparently, nearly 70 per cent of them are from Syria, 20 per cent from Afghanistan and smaller numbers from those other countries.

The American rulers and their stooges would have us believe that this migration happened because of the evil president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad. But when we look back the last 50 years or so, we can see that it is but another detail of American foreign policy. There are countless examples of unbelievable cruelty and destruc-tion that they inflicted, and continue to inflict on sovereign countries.

The immense migration activities appear more like a social engineering project or internal reshaping of Europe. At www.journal-neo.org we read: “As the last attempt to justify a final push toward regime change in Syria falters, and as European powers begin deciding whether or not to intervene further in Syria alongside the U.S., a sudden and convenient deluge of refugees has flooded Europe, almost as if on cue. Scenes like out of a movie showed hordes of tattered refugees herded along vari-ous borders as they apparently appeared out of what the Western media has portrayed as a puff of smoke at Europe’s gate.

“In reality, they did not appear out of a puff of smoke. They appeared in Turkey, a NATO member since the 1950s and one of America’s closest regional allies. Turkey is currently hosting the U.S. military, including special forces and the CIA who have, together with Turkish military and intelligence agencies, been conduct-ing a proxy war on neighbouring Syria since 2011. … Turkey has suspi-ciously maintained a very enthusias-tic ‘open door’ policy for refugees, spending inexplicable sums of money and political capital in accommodat-ing them.”

Over the last four years, around two millions of them were gathered, so the “sudden” flood of refugees in

Europe was planned for some time. As regards their distribution, I think they should be taken in by the U.S., Israel, France, UK, Germany and oth-ers who participated in the destruc-tion of their home countries. Instead, small countries like Greece, Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia, who are neither politically nor materially prepared for this, are being pressured to suddenly provide for thousands of the unfortunate victims of American wars.

The Sept. 21 Maclean’s magazine has 14 pages of text and images dedi-cated to the current refugee migration to Europe, yet there is not even a hint of explanation about the causes of this calamity. One wonders, will the mainstream media in this country ever again report events as they are or will they just accept the lies and deceptions emanating from Washington and London?

This brings me to the subject of views and attitudes held by our Canadian politicians. I just lately read the transcript of the leaders’ debate and found it only moderately OK. In my opinion, the only one that showed independent thinking was Elizabeth May of the Greens; I also recall that years ago, she was the only party leader in Canada who opposed American destruction of Libya. My second choice is the frontrunner Tom Mulcair of the NDP. I am sure some voters are repelled by his scruffy appearance, but as long as he gets more votes than Stephen Harper, he is all-right by me.

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

by Society”, Aug. 13)Here I am asking myself, why are

we so sensitive to gossip?I am a happy volunteer at

Gleaners. I am not the only one. We have 120 ladies and gentlemen help-ing with wonderful non-profit orga-nization. We have a board of direc-tors, and rules and regulations, like any other home, office or school organization. We abide by these regu-lations, which makes the whole team and different shifts enjoyable and productive.

Gleaners is a wonderful place to work, make friends, acquire clothes and things for us and our family members.

As a volunteer, we cannot run such a big organization without rules and regulations. Can you imagine what would happen if we did not have guidelines? What would happen?

We certainly appreciated the ladies volunteering. They have been a long-time part of Gleaners and it did make us sad to see them leaving for what-ever reason they found or had. I will encourage the ladies that left to come and have coffee and vent their nega-tive feelings about Gleaners with the directors.

It is not what Gleaners can do for us but what we can do for Gleaners. Gleaners keeps Creston going on.

To the Editor:Imagine a country dedicated to

developing renewable sources of ener-gy, curbing carbon emissions, and believing that climate change is real.

Imagine a country protecting habitat and its species at risk rather than destroying environmental protection.

Imagine a country encouraging its scientists rather than silencing them.

Imagine a country engaging in humanitarian aid rather than war, con-vinced it can bomb its way to peace.

Imagine a country supporting its farmers and local food systems rather than entering trade deals promising cheapened food from afar.

Imagine a country valuing its national broadcasting system that unites us by sharing information, creativity and thought rather than dismantling it.

Imagine a country admired by the world for what it is, not was.

It’s easy if we vote for change.Tanna Patterson

To the Editor:While Stephen Harper’s

Conservative Party of Canada marches on to war, championing Jerusalem, fabled site of the rumored-to-be-immi-nent Armageddon, reaping $15 billion of lucrative profits from its weapons industry sales to Saudi Arabia, the left rallies to defeat this climate-change denying, fossil-fuel dependent, eco-nomically dead-end, free-market phi-losophy. Stripping legal rights from Canadian citizens, while granting cor-porations greater rights to sue Canadian citizens for protecting their resources and livelihoods is not OK.

This “reformulated” Harper Conservative Party is an aggressive lackey of the global corporate resource-stripping economic system. There is no loyalty to Canada or its citizens, nor concern for its well-being and future.

Who among us is not sick with dread that the left will sabotage our own goal to reinstate Canada’s integri-ty and environmental stability, with well-meaning but shortsighted idealis-tic reasons resulting in splitting the left vote? We left must unite in a recog-nized short-term co-operative effort, to defeat Harper’s government.

At the Nelson all candidates meeting (MP David Wilks was absent), Liberal candidate Don Johnston suggested, “What about a tripartite system? What if we were the government?” The audience roared with approval!

Once a left party is governing, all par-ties can debate the merits of different approaches respectfully, and collaborate. Let’s make sure the left unifies to commit to this long process of a participatory Canadian democracy and global stability.

Wayne Stetski, Bill Green and Don Johnston of the Kootenay-Columbia riding, please rise above your differ-ences, to unite the left!

What is the purpose of public education in your mind? This is a significant debate, and one that has embroiled communities, educators, and researchers for a very long time. It is also at the centre of the choice agenda in public education.

In 2002 new legislation was passed in BC, giv-ing parents and students enrolled in public edu-cation systems the right to seek educational choices beyond their neighborhood schools.

While schools are still required to define pre-scribed “catchment areas,” students who nor-mally reside in BC are free to attend any school in the province regardless of where they live and subject to availability of space and appropriate educational programming. While some districts already accommodated these kinds of choices, the new legislation required all to comply.

This change in practice, along with an evolv-ing understanding of the importance of person-alizing learning experiences for learners, has also morphed into the development of an array of specialized programs that allow students to become immersed in areas about which they are passionate.

Throughout the province programs that focus on learning through the arts, a variety of sports offerings, learning through the trades, and other specialized academies and programs have sprung up as schools and districts seek both to meet the learning needs of students, and to pro-vide choices for students.

In part the need to offer choice of educational opportunities for students has stemmed from an historical debate about the purpose of education.

Kieran Egan, a respected and renowned edu-cator, researcher and author writes eloquently about the streams of thought he calls the Aims of Education that have emerged through the years.

He defines them as “mutually incompatible” and charges that education systems try to appease the diversity of their communities — most often unsuccessfully. The first “aim” or purpose of education to which some subscribe is to “fill learners with existing content and knowl-edge.” The second aim describes the purpose of education as a means to support learners with their own self-discovery based on their develop-mental trajectory. The third is that the purpose of education is to prepare learners to “fulfill a use-ful role in society.”

In SD8 (Kootenay Lake) we offer an array of choices for students. The first choice is for each student to attend their community school. Or, students may choose to attend a different school. People’s reasons for choosing to send their chil-dren to schools outside of their neighborhood vary from “it’s closer to where I work” to “we are seeking more choices for our child” or “that school offers a particular program that my child would like to attend.”

We offer language, trades, arts, sports and outdoor education programs throughout the district. We are very proud of the choices that our students have and recognize that students are experiencing success every day whether it be in their community school program, a school in another community, or in a special program in which they have enrolled.

Although each of these programs is as differ-ent and unique as the students who are enrolled, they all have one thing in common, and that is the learning outcomes they must achieve. The curriculum itself is the consistent aspect of any program offering throughout the district.

The consequences of offering choices are many and we as a community have to decide how we will deal with them. One about which we hear a lot is that of transportation. If a student chooses to attend a program outside of their catchment area, who is responsible for transporting them? Another is course availability and selection.

In my last column, I sug-gested a mountain meditation to deepen understanding of what Zen master Eihei Dogen meant when he said, “The blue mountains are constantly walk-

ing.” Today I am moving on to the next sentence in Dogen’s essay, “Mountains and Rivers Sutra”. He writes, “Although mountains walk more swiftly than the wind, someone in the mountains does not realize or understand it.”

We are all in the moun-tains. That is, we are all in impermanence, because we all exist. We are all ”in being.”

The pervasiveness of human misunderstanding is amazing to me. Men don’t understand women, Americans don’t understand Europeans, Israelis don’t understand

Palestinians. All these misunder-standings are so con-sequential. They result in broken fam-ilies, wars of words, and even in wars where powerful weapons destroy whole communities of people.

But from the standpoint of what Dogen is saying here, it is unbelievable that we do not understand, absolutely love and depend on each other because we are all the same. We all exist on the same mountain. When we think about that, how can we not embrace each other? We share so much simply because we all exist. We have the same problems, we know the same

things, we don’t know the same things. We all have the same suffering — literally. We have the same suffering as all other people and cultures that share this mountain. We even have the same suffering as the trees and the foxes. We each need to find food and shelter. We all need connection and love. We all face illness, aging and death. How do we not look at one another and burst out with tears of gratitude that we are not alone here? We have each other. How wonderful!

And yet, there are all these misunderstandings. It’s quite tragic, isn’t it?

So Dogen says that we are all in the mountains, but when we are in the mountains we don’t know or understand how the mountains are chang-ing or moving all the time, and how, at the same time, they are constant.

Why don’t we understand this? We don’t understand this

All in same state of impermanencebecause we are the mountain. We can only truly under-stand something from the outside. This is why Dogen, in another essay in which he teaches the practice of medita-tion tell us to “take the step backwards” and shine the light of awareness on the reality of our lives. When we take that step backwards, we can see that we all live on the same mountain and that if I harm you, I am harming myself. We can see that the mountain, that is, that our life is walk-ing more swiftly than the wind.

Suggested prac-tice: The next time you are in a dis-turbed state about something that another person or group of people has or has not done, take that step backwards and remind yourself that we all share the same suffering and we all want to find and realize freedom from that suffering.

Page 11: Creston Valley Advance, October 08, 2015

This past summer was a dry one. It seemed like the weather forecasters, at times, were trying to co-operate by telling us to expect some showers.

Many fore-casts would start out with a prediction of 60 per cent chance of rain. Then it would drop to 40, and then 30, and then there was no rain at

all the whole day. So I thought I would take my chances on an overnighter in the Redding Creek/Snowcrest Mountain area.

The forecast was for 60 per cent chance of showers with a little more than a bit of wind. But I was in for another kind of “weather”. When I headed up Redding Creek Road to scout around for a campsite I spotted smoke, a high column of it. I thought the fire I had seen in the area several weeks earlier was under control, but then I real-ized this was in another little valley.

When I got about three-quarters of a mile away, I could hear trees falling, snapping and crackling as they burst into flames. Then there would be a siz-zling followed by a roar as a group of trees ignited and almost exploded, sending flames sometimes almost 300 feet into the air. All this was happening on a north facing slope, which shows how dry the forest really was — dense groups of trees would ignite so quickly as the fire progressed up the slope.

I quickly exited the area and drove up another spur where I could see what was happening with the earlier fire. There were perhaps two smoke spots but I didn’t want to camp there, either, because if the wind changed, it might drive the larger fire right down Redding Creek, thus blocking any way out. So, I headed out and decided to camp at Oliver Lake forestry camp-site below Gray Creek Pass.

It was a fairly calm evening but getting dark fast. About 11 p.m. the wind began to blow and then it started to rain. I could hear the rain being driven into the trees and shrubbery. This was the rain that I didn’t think would come. However, the rain wasn't so disturbing as the wind. Each time the wind would come up, I waited for a tree or two to crash to the ground and hoped it wouldn't end

Our schools are not large enough to provide multiple offerings of many courses. If a student chooses to enroll in a specialty program or go on exchange in one semester, but courses they need to take aren’t offered in the semester when they are back at their home school — who is responsible for finding alternate ways for them to access those courses? Is the school responsible for organizing itself around each student’s individual needs? These questions, of course, are just the tip of the iceberg in this important conversation.

In my experience, consequences lead to change. It is important that we as a community engage in open and honest dialogue as we transform to bet-ter meet the needs of today’s students. If we are going to work together to adapt to meet the needs of today’s and future learners we have to be willing to move from “what is” to “what can be.”

It is important to view these challenges through the lens of possibilities, rather than the lens of blame and judgment. One way we can do this is by understanding where each of us comes from when we ask the question “What is the purpose of public education?”

Out There

up on the car much less the tent. When choosing a camping spot I had noted that most of the trees around the site were pretty healthy.

After a time, the rain and wind seemed to slack off and I would relax a bit. But for the next unknown number of hours (which at night are longer than in the daytime), repeatedly the wind would die down and then come up again, at first lightly and then develop-ing into a roar not much different than the sound of a jet taking off. I could imagine how much the trees might be bending in the wind. Fortunately, in the morning the situation was back to nor-

mal except for spitting rain and a con-siderable drop in temperature. I ate and vacated to warmer temperatures on the Pilot Bay Trail.

Weather at higher elevations is usually more severe than in the valleys. It can be colder, wetter and windier. Sometimes, though, I have camped on a mountain slope and discovered there was frost in the valley bottom, and, also have found calm weather higher up but windy condi-tions lower down where the wind was following the valley. The advice for all of us, when thinking about hiking and camping at higher elevations, is to go pre-pared for harsher conditions.

I really don’t totally regret that rainy and windy camping event. Inside, the tent was dry, although at times I thought it was going to blow away and take me with it. In nice weather, Oliver Lake, Gray Creek Pass, Redding Creek, Snowcrest Mountain and Baker Lake areas are beautiful areas to hike and camp in. In fact, you may not have to wait until next summer to do that, because we could still have some nice weather through October and possibly into the first week of November.

HEAR THE BEEP WHERE YOU SLEEP.Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm!

Increasingly, having a working smoke alarm near your bedroom area(s) and at each level of a residence is required by law. There are now new types of smoke alarms that can be electronically interconnected wirelessly.

For example, if smoke activates a smoke alarm in the basement of a house, all the home’s smoke alarms will sound simultaneously regardless of how far away they are from the smoke’s source.

Therefore if additional smoke alarms are installed voluntarily in each bedroom, you are immediately alerted and gain precious seconds to deal with the situation and safely escape from a house fi re.

Accordingly, it is recommended that smoke alarms be installed in each bedroom.

DETECTORS SAVE LIVESNow is the time to change batteries!

(NC) A new national poll by Ipsos Reid has found that 16 per cent of homeowners with a potential source of carbon monoxide in their home admit to not having a carbon monoxide alarm.

The finding is troubling to safety officials who note that the coming cold weather season peaks the potential for CO exposure as gas, oil or propane furnaces, fire-places, wood stoves and other fuel-fired devices are once again pressed into service.

Regionally, those in Atlantic Canada (31 per cent) and Quebec (30 per cent) are most likely to not have a carbon monoxide alarm installed in their home, followed by

those living in Saskatchewan and Manitoba (23 per cent), Alberta (22 per cent), British Columbia (15 per cent) and Ontario (6 per cent).

The low showing in Ontario is actually good news: it suggests that province’s new mandatory carbon monox-ide alarm law, which came into effect in November of last year is having a positive impact.

“It is encouraging to see so many people protecting themselves from the silent killer,” says John Gignac, co-executive director of the Hawkins-Gignac Foundation for CO Education which commissioned the poll. “I’d like to say to those who need one but still have not installed a CO alarm: Wake up and protect your family.”

Carbon monoxide is called the silent killer because humans cannot see, smell or taste it.

Data from the online poll suggests that confusion remains about the lifespan of a CO alarm. Most (72 per cent) say they know the device has a lifespan but are unclear as to when to replace it. Just under one-third believe the CO alarm lifespan is beyond what is recom-mended by manufacturers or they simply don’t know. All CO alarms must be replaced after seven to 10 years.

Equally worrisome is that 11 per cent of homeowners with CO alarms say the alarms are more than 11 years old or they have no idea of the age.

With alarm replacement such an important issue, safety standards changed in 2009 to require all carbon monoxide and combination smoke/CO alarms to sound an intermittent end-of-life warning when the unit is

approaching its replacement date.“Most Canadian families have better

things to do than remember how old their CO alarm is,” says Carol Heller, a home safety specialist with Kidde. “But replace-ment is critical. So by using technology to remind homeowners that an alarm’s life is coming to an end, we can help make it easier for them to stay protected.”

“These are sophisticated devices with high technology functions,” Heller adds. “Read the owner’s manual to fully under-stand what the different beep patterns mean. Knowing could someday save your life.”

Be prepared when seconds count:Renovate for fire safety

(MS) — A National Fire Prevention Association study reported that, on average, seven Americans die in a residential home fire each week. Though you never know when fire might strike, there are important mea-sures you can take to increase your chances when seconds count.

While it’s nearly impossible to make a house completely fire-proof, you can build or remodel it using fire-inhibiting materials. The better ones will help to with-stand fire hazards, and they may also give you those extra pre-cious minutes or seconds to escape in the event of a fire.

When consid-ering a home renovation, be sure to do your research for fire-rated and non-c o m b u s t i b l e products. The Roxul brand, for example, pro-duces stone

wool insulation. This insulation resists temperatures up to approxi-mately 2,150 F, and when directly exposed to fire, this chemically-inert material will not produce harmful gases or promote the spread of flames. Industry experts explain that stone wool insulation is designed to delay the spread of fire from room to room, providing valu-able evacuation time that is critical to saving people, pets, property and reducing environmental damages.

CENTRAL KOOTENAY INVASIVE SPECIES SOCIETY

The Salmo-Creston is a legendary mountain pass in the Kootenays. As trav-ellers drop down from the top and head east, the first billboard spotted encourages them to turn right and visit the Wildlife Interpretation Centre for the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area (CVWMA).

The beautiful marshland has been deemed a wetland of international impor-tance, and a globally significant bird area. The CVWMA is the epitome of biodiver-sity, with close to 400 different wildlife species calling the area home.

This was the venue for the Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society’s (CKISS) annual general meeting on Sept. 16. Other AGMs have a boardroom feel; this is not the case for CKISS, which com-

bines its AGM with a field tour that allows board members, city councillors, CKISS members and concerned citizens to get close and personal with the natural world.

The day kicked off with a drone dem-onstration from Nelson-based company Harrier Aerial Surveys. Drones are quick-ly emerging as a valuable tool used in ecological research. In the spring, drones were used to map the problematic swath of yellow flag iris that hugs several water-

ways at the CVWMA. The flower is an escaped garden ornamental that outcom-petes and displaces native plants, causing wildlife habitat degradation.

Thompson River University (TRU) in Kamloops is currently conducting research on control methods for yellow flag iris. The University is researching the efficacy of thick rubber matting (benthic mem-brane) as a control method for YFI.

Participants were able to see firsthand several research plots that exist throughout the wetland area. In the spring and sum-mer, CKISS sampled these plots and sent them to TRU for analy-sis. Through modern technology, Catherine Tarasoff, PhD, PAg, an adjunct professor in TRU’s department of natural resources, was able to Skype in to the event and offer insight into her research.

CVWMA head of operations Marc-Andre Beaucher and Ministry of Forest Lands Natural Resources Operations habitat officer Terry Anderson gave a pre-sentation on the threats that American bull-frogs can have to wet-land biodiversity.

They stressed that early detec-tion and rapid eradication is imperative because bullfrogs outcompete B.C.’s native species, such as the endangered northern leopard frog.

“A female bullfrog can lay up to 20,000 eggs versus 3,000-5,000 for a female leopard frog,” said Beaucher. “Bullfrog can easily overrun the system and they are also very voracious — they’ll eat just about anything that fits in their mouths.”

It is well known by wildlife officials that bullfrogs run ram-pant in Idaho and Washington. A bullfrog surveillance program was set up this past summer by CKISS to investigate if any of these pesky critters had made their way to the Kootenays.

“As part of an early detection rapid response surveillance sys-tem, acoustic equipment was set up in several locations along the border,” said Anderson. “While one meter was being installed recently, bullfrog calls were heard and it was positively con-firmed by acoustic recordings. Visual sightings confirmed that the species are here for the first time in the West Kootenay.”

The final presenter of the day was Leigh Anne Isaac, PhD, a senior biologist with Vast Resource Solutions who has been studying the western painted turtles that reside at CVWMA. The western painted turtle is the only native

pond turtle left in B.C.; however their numbers are rapidly decreas-ing due to habitat loss and is now considered a species of concern in the Kootenays. CKISS has worked with Vast to remove invasive plants in order to restore sensitive turtle nesting habitat.

During the AGM a new mem-ber was elected to the board, Nelson’s Malcolm Fitz-Earle, PhD.

“My interest in environmental issues and human population goes back more than 45 years,” said Fitz-Earle. “I have taught ecology, and invasive species are

second only to habitat loss for the reduction of biodiversity. As a director of CKISS I will learn more about invasive species and I hope to contribute to their con-trol. I am impressed by the youth and enthusiasm of the members of the board and the executive.”

The fully-catered event is open to the public every year and all are welcome to attend CKISS’ field tour and AGM to learn more about invasive species, their impacts and how to make a dif-ference. To stay connected to CKISS, visit www.ckiss.ca.

Leading up to the Oct. 19 federal election, the

Advance — in co-ordina-tion with other Black Press newspapers — asked the

four member of Parliament candidates in the Kootenay-

Columbia federal riding:9. What is your reaction to the United Nations report

issued earlier this year that criticizes Canada for a broad range of human

rights failures including the lack of safeguards in

Bill C-51 to protect Canadians’ civil liberties

and an inadequate response to missing and murdered

Aboriginal women? 10. Oil companies are intent on getting their product to market, whether it be by

train or pipeline. At the same

David Wilks(Conservative)

INCUMBENT

time, serious environmental and public safety issues have

been raised about both methods of shipment. What do you see as the solution to these issues?

BILL GREEN9. The July 2015 report of the United Nations

Committee on Human Rights makes 15 recom-mendations regarding needed human rights improvements in Canada, while commending us on only five matters. This long list of deficiencies should be of deep concern to Canadians.

Security of person is a human right, but indig-enous women in Canada face particularly high risk of violence. Indigenous women account for 16 per cent of female homicides and 11.3 per cent of missing women cases, even though they make up only 4.3 per cent of Canada’s female popula-tion. I support a full inquiry into our crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women. If we are committed to security as a country, this must mean security for all.

The Green Party immediately opposed Bill C-51 when it was introduced in April. We share the concerns cited in the UN report, such as the bill’s lack of adequate legal safeguards and risks to Canadian’s civil liberties. We will continue to advocate for repeal of this bill.

10. In the long term and at heart, this question concerns climate change as well as environmental and public safety issues. The Green Party’s very clear and achievable goal is to reduce Canada’s carbon emissions by 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2025 (10 years) and 80 per cent below 1990 levels by 2050. This means that, in the short term, we have to stabilize, rather than increase, current levels of oil production (and employment), then work to shift energy industry investments away from fossil fuel extraction and pipelines and towards a new, renewable energy-based economy.

If we stabilize current levels of production, there’s no need to expand beyond our existing and extensive network of pipelines. Investments can then be directed to improving both rail and pipeline safety, as well as in renewable energy resources distributed all across Canada.

DON JOHNSTON9. The United Nations report is absolutely

right. If there is any reason for Conservative sup-porters to say enough is enough, it is Mr. Harper’s dismantling of Canada’s international and human rights policies. This is not the Canada that our generation was proud to have built.

Despite perceptions about Bill C-51, Liberal policy is clear. Our MPs will stand up against any-thing that violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Unfortunately, both the Conservatives and the NDP chose to play politics with Canada’s security. Stephen Harper created an act that will be challenged in court and the NDP changed posi-tions until they could generate fear for any govern-ment role in security. We successfully argued for three amendments to the bill and told the Conservatives we would run an election against rights abuses. We will immediately ensure parlia-mentary oversight, institute mandatory legislative reviews and narrow abusively broad definitions.

Last week we all addressed the Ktunaxa Nation council forum and that audience knew about the Liberal’s 2005 Kelowna Accord that the Conservatives ignored. It was a respectful action plan for government-to-government dialogue. We need to deal with the root causes of a national trag-edy that led to over 1,200 murdered or missing Aboriginal women over the last 35 years. A Liberal government will not ignore uncomfortable truths and we will launch an inquiry.

10. If we don’t demonstrate to the world that we have our act together on climate change and the environment, we will find it harder to get our resources to markets. We will improve the envi-ronmental assessments with a comprehensive and fair process that ensures decisions are evi-dence-based, and allow meaningful participa-tion. We will also modernize the National Energy Board and ensure it has broad regional represen-tation and expertise in environmental science and community development.

1. What do you consider to be the biggest issueor need in this riding?

2. Does your party plan to introduce some form ofproportional representation? If so, when and how?3. Should Ottawa be involved in Columbia River

Treaty negotiations or should it be left to B.C.? If the former, what role do you see for the federal govern-

ment? If the latter, why shouldn’t Ottawa be involved?4. What solutions do you see to make regional

highways safer and more reliable?5. What, if any, changes to the Temporary Foreign

Worker program will you advocate for in order to help support tourism in the region? Or what is the alterna-tive solution to businesses in our region that cannot find the staff they need to operate at full capacity?

6. Given the Kootenay-Columbia is a lake and river-filled region with extreme weather events, how will you be an environmental steward and address the

uncertainties of climate change?7. What is CBC’s role in Canadian society and how should it be handled by the federal government?8. Do you support the dissolution of the Senate?

Why or why not?

WAYNE STETSKI9. Under the Harper

Conservative government, Canada’s international reputa-tion has been severely damaged with respect to climate change and the environment, our role as peacekeepers, the use of science and good data to make deci-sions, and on human rights.

The Harper Conservatives have refused to act on the United Nations commitments on indigenous rights. Our cur-rent government’s refusal, for instance, to take seriously the issue of murdered and missing indigenous women, is simply unacceptable.

The Harper Conservatives, along with the Liberals, rammed through Bill C-51, the secret police act, which over 100 legal scholars and four past prime ministers say goes too far. Bill C-51 will result in the erosion of our rights and free-doms and does nothing to make Canadians safer.

An NDP government will repeal Bill C-51, implement the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, protect gen-der identity and expression in

the Human Rights Act, and call an inquiry into the missing and murdered indigenous women within 100 days of taking office.

By doing what’s right, we can reclaim our reputation on the international stage.

10. In the short term, we need to review the safety stan-dards of both pipelines and railways to ensure public and environmental safety. For example, there are far too few federal government railway inspectors in Canada, another important area cut by the Harper Conservatives.

We need to start to transition our economy from oil and gas towards renewable green ener-gy. This is important from both an environmental perspective, including climate change, and from an economic perspective. Green energy creates the jobs right here at home so that peo-ple don’t have to travel to Alberta or Northeast B.C., and disrupt families, to earn a liv-ing.

The new solar SunMine at Kimberley and bio-energy power plant at the Aqam reserve near Cranbrook are an excellent start!

DAVID WILKS1. Our government is

responsible for the security and

well-being of Canadians. Our legislation gives the RCMP, Canadian Border Services Agency and Canadian Security Intelligence Service the ability to share information and co-ordinate. Bill C-51 must con-form to the Canadian Charter of Rights of Freedoms and there is judicial oversight.

The RCMP report on miss-ing and murdered Aboriginal women provides a road map forward. Our government introduced the First Nations Matrimonial Interests Act, which now provides families on reserve with the same rights expected by all other Canadians in the event of a marriage breakdown. We will continue to bring forth legislation so that all Canadians can prosper fully from our economy.

2. Oil companies are responding to an ever-increas-ing demand for oil. In Canada, our oil is found predominantly in the western provinces and we are focused on getting our product to the market. We know that the safest mode of transportation today is by pipe-line and our standards for pipe-lines in Canada are some of the highest in the world. The National Energy Board along with other agencies oversees pipeline safety.

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

More than 200 people got a couple of hours on Oct. 1 to get to know their federal election candidates at a forum spon-sored by Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce.

What appears to be a hotly contested election, with polls indicating a neck-and-neck race between incumbent Conservative MP David Wilks and NDP standard-bearer Wayne Stetski, drew plenty of interest from a polite and respectful audience. No heck-ling, boos or attempts to cir-cumvent candidates’ ability to ask questions put in writing prior to the forum distracted the audience from the issues. And not once did a candidate hear the dreaded bell used by Toastmasters timekeepers if speakers go over their allotted times.

With the late withdrawal from the race of a Libertarian candidate, four candidates remain in contention. Both Liberal Don Johnston and the Green Party’s aptly named Bill Green made strong contribu-tions in the only scheduled forum for the Creston area.

At stake in the Oct. 19 election is a seat that was long held by Reform and Conservative MP Jim Abbott. In his attempt to be re-elected for a second term, Wilks is touring a riding with newly drawn boundaries that take in more traditional NDP ter-ritory. Nelson, Salmo and Kaslo have been rolled into the con-stituency, while the Nakusp area now votes in the new district of South Okanagan-West Kootenay.

In candidates’ opening state-ments, Liberal Don Johnston said there is a need to redress the balance of power in Parliament, with the Prime Minister ’s Office having

become too powerful during Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s time in office.

Stetski described the upcom-ing election as “the most impor-tant election that we have had in my lifetime”, adding that the last four years have seen an attack on fundamental Canadian values.

“The key theme of my work is consensus building,” Green said. “We need to build an economy based on renewable energy.” Reconciliation with First Nation is critical, he said.

Wilks pointed to his record of bringing federal grants into the Creston area, for infrastruc-ture like waste water treatment, water delivery, housing proj-ects and the Rykerts border crossing. He said he has intro-duced a private member’s bill to increase penalties for kid-nappers of under-16-year-olds.

Following is a summary of questions and the candidates’ responses:

Q: For every reason to restore door-to-door postal delivery

in urban areas, there are reasons to also provide rural delivery.

Johnston: The Liberals would cancel Conservative plans to elimi-nate door-to-door delivery and con-duct a thorough review of how Canada Post can provide services at a reasonable cost.

Stetski: NDP would stop service cuts and look at ways of expanding Canada Post’s mandate. The cuts, he said, were a response to a net loss in a one-quarter-year period, and the postal service has always made a profit otherwise.

Green: The question is how to make Canada Post as strong as possible, giving it the necessary tools by adding services like insurance and banking. In Israel, he said, post offices offer more than 70 services. The Trans-Pacific trade agreement could prohibit Canada’s ability to subsidize crown corporations.

Wilks: Sixy-eight per cent of Canadians already collect their mail from group postboxes, he said. Canada Post is losing tradi-tional business because more com-munication is done electronically, but CP’s ownership of Purolator has been a success. He said there is a five-point plan to keep Canada Post viable.

Q: What is your stance on the Northern Gateway Pipeline,

trophy hunting and the wolf cull?Stetski: No to the NGP because

the risk is far too high to ship crude oil through coastal waters. Good science is needed to make determi-nations about issues like bear tro-phy hunting and wolf culls.

Green: The Green Party opposes pipelines that deliver oil to our coasts and a new economy will not be based on petroleum resources. He does not oppose bear hunting for food, but the wolf cull is not needed to protect the endangered caribou population.

Wilks: The National Energy Board has placed 203 environmen-tal conditions on potential builders that must be met and the decision should be left to it. Bear trophy hunting is an emotional issue but it is well regulated. The wolf cull is secondary to the larger issue of how to deal with the dwindling caribou population.

Johnston: The Liberal Party is totally opposed to the pipeline and would impose a moratorium on all tanker traffic on the West Coast. The need for bear hunting and predator culls needs to be based on the best science available.

Q: What will be the economic driver in this constituency in

the coming five to 10 years?Green: Along with a growing

senior population, there is a short-age of young people to provide care and support the economy. It is important to keep seniors out of poverty. They and youth would benefit from the Green plan to create a guaranteed livable income.

Wilks: Infrastructure is the top priority in the area and it creates jobs. Also, the forestry sector needs to find new markets and make val-ue-added products.

Johnston: The huge challenge is to transition from a carbon resource base to a non-carbon economy. The Liberals would invest $200 million in finding new ways for key sectors to make the transition. Renewable energy increases jobs and provides oppor-tunity to export our technology.

Stetski: A monoculture econo-my is filled with risks, and we subsidize the oil and gas indus-tries with billions of dollars. Agriculture will fail if trade agree-ments support corporations at the expense “of you and me and farmers.” Affordable education is important and renewable energy will create local jobs.

Q: How much support will the CBC get from you and your

party?Wilks: The CBC still gets $1 bil-

lion in funding annually and, while the radio “is phenomenal”, television is a challenge because of increased competition and selection. CBC needs to adjust to the new climate in the television market and that “will take some time.”

Johnston: Liberals will imme-diately reinvest $150 million to create a long-term plan for CBC, “one of our most important cul-tural institutions.” The board that governs the CBC has become “too political.” Canada Council for the Arts will also receive a doubling in its funding.

Stetski: “CBC is our national voice.” NDP would restore $150 million of the Conservative cuts (which the Liberals started) and appoint a board that is not political. CBC keeps us accountable as politi-cians. “Long live the CBC!”

Green: You can’t have a healthy democracy without a strong pub-lic broadcaster. While the Green Party focuses on “fiscal disci-pline” it would add $285 million to CBC in its first year in power, and another $315 million after that.

Q: What would you do to encourage family farms?

Johnston: The aging of current farmers is an important issue and a Liberal government would find ways to assist young farmers with capital and debt costs. Farmers need “a safety net” because with climate change agriculture is increasingly risky.

Stetski: “We need to make farm-ing economically viable.” Provincial and federal governments have deserted farmers in the last 10 years. More is needed in the way of research and testing support.

Green: While “some consolida-tion” can be positive for family farms, the real problem is owner-ship by corporations. Policies and supports specific to family farms are needed, as is increased support of farmers’ markets.

Wilks: Three funding programs are in place to support agriculture. An education program to teach about the cost of farming is needed because new young farmers can need as much as a $5-6 million investment in land and equipment to get started.

Ellis Daniel Henrie

The family of Ellis Daniel Henrie has lost their patriarch. Dad was born July 21, 1918 in a Model A on the way to Cardston from the family homestead near Taylorville, Alberta. He was the fi rst child of Ellis Coleman Henrie and Phoebe Irene Armstrong. He passed on, surrounded by family, at the Creston, BC hospital on Sunday, September 27. Left to mourn include his wife of 72 years, Louise Walton; his children Sharlene (Allan) Orr, Bruce (Mavis), Earl (Mary Lou), Daniel (Connie), Scott (Terry), Colleen (Rhett) Price, Ross; and at least 285 others who call him grandpa. He also leaves his surviving siblings, Jim, Eula Rasmussen, and Shirley (Sam) Pawluk and Marjorie Henrie, Fern Henessey, Bonnie Law, and Andrew (Kathy) WaltonDad spent his early years helping out on the farm. The family was large and his memories are fi lled with stories of love, laughter, hardship, and good neighbours. The effects of those years set the mold for a lifetime of service to others. He met our mother, a 17 year old beauty, while fi lling in for someone else harvesting beets at her family's farm near Diamond City. He waited a few years for her to grow up. In the meanwhile he joined the RCMP and when the Canadian Army asked them for offi cers, he volunteered. His name is on the "King's List" at the RCMP Museum in Regina. He and Mom were fi nally married during a bitter blizzard that delayed the arrival of his train on January 27, 1943 in the Cardston LDS temple while dad was on leave. After the end of WWII and occupational service in Holland, Dad pursued a career as an electrician, beginning as a lineman in Calgary and moving on to Kimberly,

Kelowna, Fort Macleod, where he became a Master Electrician, and fi nally Yahk. He spent his 'retirement' years building, referring to himself as a chainsaw carpenter and his handywork is evident in and around their home and on the porches of many who will long enjoy his gliders. Dad began a life of service at a young age serving in his fi rst bishopric at the age of 19. He was called as Bishop in Fort Macleod and Creston. He and Mom served a mission in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. He was a long time scoutmaster and served as Assistant District Commissioner in Southern Alberta. He rarely passed on a chance to participate in any service project, freely giving of his time and considerable energy. He was a dedicated Home Teacher and had a list of folks he made a point of visiting at the Crest View Village, Creston, BC, his last residence. His service is a legacy we all hope to honor.We will remember him in his quiet welcoming way, lion hunts, riding in his beloved mountain paradise, stories, personal attention, and the way you always felt loved, though he rarely said the words.A Funeral Service honoring his legacy

will be held at theChurch of Jesus Christ

of Latter Day Saints in Creston, BCon Friday October 9, 2015 at 2:00 pm- meet the family beginning at 12:30. There will be a public gathering at Legacy Funeral Homes in Cardston

on October 10, 2015- meet the family from 1:00 to 2:00 pm. Interment to follow in the family plot at

the Taylorville, AB cemetery.

O� tuaries

Ronald Peter HarrisRonald Peter Harris of Creston, BC, passed away with family by his side on September 29, 2015.The 5th of 8 children, Pete was born on December 2, 1932 to Reg and Elsie (Smeed) Harris at the family farm in Creston, BC.Times were tough but the family worked hard together to make a life. After fi nishing grade 10, Pete worked as an instrument man for topographic survey and travelled across much of BC. He often spoke fondly of working in these beautiful and pristine areas, including the Big Bend region near Golden BC. During survey off times, Pete worked in construction which he eventually switched to full-time, later starting his company Top Form Construction. He took great pride in his work, and built many homes and commercial buildings in the valley.In 1979, Pete surprised everyone by starting his family, marrying Valerie Louise (Knight) Harris (predeceased)

and raising his three children Michael Martell, Leanne Muzzio (Harris) and Lyle Harris on the property he grew up on.In retirement, Pete used his passion for building to give back to the community, volunteering at the Creston Valley Museum and helping to build the PAWS building. He enjoyed gardening, visiting with family, and his beloved grandson Kieran Muzzio.Pete will be remembered as a kind and patient man, who always put others before himself.He is survived by his three children and grandchild, sister Donna (Harris) Zurwick and brother David Harris.

A Celebration of Life was held atCreston Anglican Church.

Q: Will you implement the recommendations of the

Truth and Reconciliation Commission?

Stetski: The findings of the commission are “very broad” and “we will implement them.” The process starts by recognizing that what we have done is “cultural genocide”. The report “goes along way in telling us how to get there” as far as addressing issues goes.

Green: “It should be a defin-ing issue in this election.” He

cited Yaqan Nukiy School, which also has non-First Nation stu-dents, as “a start to reconcilia-tion.” Governments need to stop activities, like the proposed Jumbo development, that affect other cultures.

Wilks: “It is important to move forward with First Nations issues so they have their inde-pendence.” Creation of First Nations health authorities and focusing on health, culture and language is key. The First Nations Transparency Act has made lead-ers more accountable for the way money is spent and the Conservatives have committed $2.3 billion for reserve housing.

Johnston: The Liberals will cre-ate an inquiry into the missing and murdered indigenous women issue. “We need to build a new reality”, he said, describing the Indian Act as a colonial piece of legislation that “is well past its best-before date.” We must create one Canada for everybody.

Q: What effect would the Trans-Pacific Partnership

(TTP) trade agreement have on the local dairy industry?

Green: Fair trade should put sovereignty and human rights first. The Green Party is deeply opposed to the TTP, which “was negotiated in the worst possible

circumstances by a government that desperately wants this.” The agreement supports corporations at the expense of individuals and nations. “I am proud of our supply management systems. There should be less emphasis on trade and more local focus because of the carbon footprint trade creates.”

Wilks: “I don’t know more than anyone else” about the TPP. Supply management is a corner-stone in Canadian agricultural policy and the Conservatives are committed to retain it.

Johnston: “It scares the heck out of me.” He is suspicious that the timing of the negotiations was set to benefit the Conservative

Party in the election campaign and that “trade deals haven’t prevent-ed trade deficits.”

Stetski: If the Conservatives support Canadian supply manage-ment systems, “How do you sell a wheat board to Saudi Arabia?” The NDP has a national food strategy. He said that “it is totally unethical to negotiate a trade deal three weeks before an election when you are no longer going to be the prime minister.” Supply management is important to our economy, and in the TPP, corporations will win and farmers and people in our commu-nities will lose.

Q: Do you favour a propor-tional representation elec-

toral system?Wilks: Three provincial ref-

erendums on proportional rep-resentation have failed. “The present system is a good one and we will stick with it.”

Johnston: Canadians feel that their votes don’t count and a Liberal government would introduce a propor-tional representation system within 18 months of its for-mation.

Stetski: Proportional rep-resentation is part of the NDP platform to restore democra-cy in Canada and it will be in place for the 2019 federal election.

Green: “Fixing our democ-racy is a passion of mine.” Referendums on proportional representation failed because the governments of the day did not support them. An all-party committee would travel the country to hear from Canadians before creating a proportional representation system.

Q: What will you do about neonicotinoids, which

contribute to bee colony col-lapses?

Johnston: “We really need to bring science back to the table.” A moratorium should be put in place on the use of chemicals before we understand the impacts of their use.

Stetski: “I’m so old I read Silent Spring by Rachel Carson.” Science needs to be the determining factor in the use of chemicals in agriculture. Clear food labeling should be required.

Green: Biodiversity should be considered. When there is a risk of harm, decisions “should err on the side of the ecosystem and human health.” The Green Party would reinvest in science across the country, adding $75 million to restore our abil-ity to assess the impacts of chemicals and other issues.

Wilks: Science is being used to address the problems through Health Canada, which is encouraging dust reduction when planting treated seeds.

Q: Would you protect resources by preventing

bulk or bottled water sales?Wilks: “Water is one thing we

have to protect.” The Columbia River Treaty is important to Kootenay-Columbia and that federal and provincial govern-ments need to co-operate to pro-tect the resource.

Johnston: Water is a central part of who we are. With cli-mate change some water sys-tems are already running out. Water exports are “frighten-ing.” If we aren’t careful in negotiating trade deals, we could lose control.

Stetski: Canada doesn’t have a water strategy and it should. Water is a basic human right and exports should be excluded from trade deals. Infrastructure needs to be improved and polluters should be made to pay.

Green: “Keep it. Preserve it. Protect it.” The Charter of Rights and Freedoms should be amended to include drink-able water and laws should prohibit the export of bulk water. First Nations need healthy water in their com-

munities. Provision of healthy water should be a cornerstone of foreign aid.

Q: What would you do to sup-port a skilled workforce in

rural communities?Green: A strong post-secondary

education is needed. Currently there are “immense financial barri-ers” to young people, and they should be eliminated. Free post-secondary education and skills

training programs should be avail-able to all.

Wilks: Apprenticeships should start in Grade 10 when students are still living at home.

Johnston: A Liberal government will invest $500 for training and retraining in new skills. An educat-ed workforce is important to the economy and creating a green econ-omy benefits rural communities.

OPEN HOUSE

health care transfers to provinces will continue to increase in the coming years. “Money will not solve the issue.”

Closing summariesWilks: Grants and funds from federal pro-

grams are needed to support regional districts and municipalities. Affordable housing for seniors is “a passion of mine.” Caring for veter-ans and creation of more spaces for addiction recovery and after care are top priorities.

Green: Goal is to eliminate poverty and building a green economy for the future. “Citizens need to benefit from what we do, not corporations.” Structural budget deficits are not acceptable because they create burdens on future taxpayers. The Green Party is needed to hold others accountable. “Ignore the polls. Don’t vote out of fear.”

Stetski: “Stephen Harper has to go.” People are ready for change. He was a public servant and knows how to serve the public. He is tied with Wilks, according to the most recent polls. It is time to restore the Canada “that you want.”

Johnston: “We do not believe in an austerity government.” Liberal financial plans have been created based on the Conservative budget esti-mates. There is a need to address our infrastruc-ture deficit in a way that is long term and sus-tainable. “We need to create a future of hope and change.”

Stetski: An affordable post-secondary education is important, as are available jobs for gradu-ates. Policies like a reduced small business tax, $15-a-day child care and affordable housing will make it easier to create local jobs and fill the positions.

Q: Would you reinstate the practice of the federal govern-

ment borrowing only from the Bank of Canada?

Stetski: Yes. I don’t know how we moved away from the practice.

Green: Canadian regulations have resulted in a strong banking industry.

Wilks: “We have a strong banking system that is the envy of the world.” Our structures are very sound.

Johnston: We support the exist-ing regulatory systems that helped us get through the recession as well as we did.

Q: What will you do about the rising price of pharmaceutical drugs?

Johnston: The federal government needs to talk to provincial governments about the need for bulk buying across the country. The Health Accord was allowed to expire and it needs to be renegotiated. “Personally, I like Pharmacare. It is the cheapest solution in the long run.”

Stetski: Pharmacare would be part of a health care plan and bulk purchases would reduce costs. A new Health Accord is needed, but “Harper hasn’t met with all the premiers even once in the last 10 years.”

Green: “Since when are drugs not part of health care?” A Pharmacare system will save $11 billion in the Canadian economy. “Seniors should not have to choose between healthy food and prescription drugs.”

Wilks: The Conservative government is com-mitted to move forward an agreement with provinces to create a bulk purchase system and
