With 20 per cent of Canada’s population unable to read above a Grade 7 level, literacy programs are a vital part of helping millions get by — and the Advance is joining other Black Press newspapers today to help raise funds for the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL).

More than a dozen volun-teers will be in on the action in Creston, offering free cop-ies of the Advance in exchange for a donation to CBAL as part of the Black Press Reach a Reader campaign.

Today’s event will likely begin around noon, with col-lectors canvassing Creston carrying official CBAL dona-tion boxes and copies of the Advance.

Education key to smooth crossingBY BRIAN LAWRENCE

Advance Editor

The table holds a seemingly random assortment of guns,

blades, a grenade and a few obscure pieces. But they all have one thing in common: They were seized at the Kingsgate border crossing in

the last six months.Seizures of firearms and

weapons increased — for no apparent or identifiable reason — at the Kingsgate port of entry

in the past year, with 14 from September 2009-September 2010 to 19 from September 2010-Sep-tember 2011.

From page 1“Literacy is vital to the well-being of the

entire community, and we’re proud to join the alliance for literacy in this campaign,” said Advance editor Brian Lawrence. “And it’s excit-

ing to be a part of something bigger — all of Black Press’s papers in the east and west Kootenays are taking part.”

CBAL has been around since 2002, and is in 17 east and west Kootenay communities, with co-ordinators working from September to June. The alliance is currently in the third year of a three-year funding guarantee from the Columbia Basin Trust, and also receives funds from the provin-cial and federal governments, Decoda Literacy Solutions and the College of the Rockies, which gives Creston a $69,000 operating budget.

While literacy issues affect all ages, Steward is most drawn to adult literacy, which suits Creston’s needs. Children from birth to six are well served by other programs, and funding isn’t readily available for school-age children’s programs.

The CBT funding allows Steward to hire tutors — eight in the past year — to run adult programs, which include both improving read-ing skills and learning English as a second lan-guage. Twenty-two people are currently enrolled in the ESL program, which helps them with more than just the language.

“They find they don’t have the skills to get a promotion at work, or to keep up with technology because they can’t read the manuals,” said Linda Steward, Creston’s Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) co-ordinator. “They’re not only learning, but they’re finding support and friend-ship. Creston is very welcoming to newcomers.”

As this is the first time the campaign has been run, the organizers won’t be measuring its success in terms of money collected, although every little bit will be an asset to CBAL — the $69,000 budget may sound like a lot, but it only goes so far.

“The key is that the volunteers have fun,” said Lawrence. “And they’re helping out a wor-thy cause, so what could be better than that?”

On Oct. 8 at 2:30 p.m. at the Gray

Creek Store in Gray Creek, the S.S. Nasookin’s original

steering wheel will be unveiled to the public. The 8.5-foot diameter wooden wheel was recently gifted to the

Gray Creek Historical Society by Malcolm Metcalfe, grandson of Capt. Malcolm MacKinnon, and the MacKinnon family.

MacKinnon skip-pered the Nasookin on her maiden voyage in 1913, and was her captain on trips between Gray Creek and Fraser’s Landing (Balfour) from 1933 until the end of her career in 1947. When the sternwheeler was converted to a car ferry in 1933-34, the

As part of the Community Arts

Council of Creston and Creston and District Public Library’s part-nership providing an ongoing venue for local artists, the works of Val van der Poel will be shown through Nov. 19.

Van der Poel started to dabble in art when her grandfather gave her some calligraphy lessons at age nine. But it wasn’t until 1996 that

she started taking art as a serious avocation. Her work has been exhibited locally and regionally, and is in a number of private col-lections internationally. She enjoys encouraging and helping emerging artists, and has taught several beginner artist groups since 2000.

If variety is the spice of life, then van der Poel is living life to its

fullest though her art. She works in watercol-or, acrylic, pen and ink, charcoal, pencil, and pastel. Her subject mat-ter is varied as well, including flowers, landscapes, still lifes, birds, animals, and even the occasional abstract. When work-ing with acrylic, van der Poel will try almost any surface from rocks to fabric.

From page 1At the Rykerts crossing, just

south of Creston, there were six seizures of prohibited goods and weapons, including fire-arms, between April 2009 and April 2010, but only one between April 2010 and April 2011. Each seizure may include one or several items.

The weapons may be seized for a variety of reasons, said Canada Border Services Agency spokesperson Erin Steeksma, community public affairs officer — a pilot project position that started in August — for the CBSA’s Pacific region, which includes B.C. and the Yukon.

U.S. residents, for example, may be used to having a weap-on in the vehicle and forget it’s there when questioned by CBSA officers. Others are pro-hibited, while some were inten-tionally unclaimed, even though they may have been permitted.

“There are more ways for us to help you if you declare them,” said Steeksma, a seven-year CBSA veteran who toured the southern B.C. border crossings last week, visiting Kingsgate on Sept. 29.

And the grenade, while unnerving, fortunately isn’t as volatile as it looks.

“A lot of times they are just inert ones that come through,” Steeksma said.

A recent seizure at Kingsgate took place on Sept. 8 when offi-cers inspected the vehicle of a U.S. resident, who had admit-ted to having pepper spray. During the inspection of the vehicle, officers discovered a second can of pepper spray and a gun holster, which led to a more intense search that turned up three prohibited, loaded handguns and a high-capacity magazine. The weapons and vehicle were seized. Criminal charges are pending, and so far, the traveller has paid over $4,000 in penalties.

Weapons aren’t the only pro-hibited items that travellers attempt to bring across the bor-der.

“We also get a lot of seizures related to undeclared narcotics,” said Kingsgate Supt. Brad Berdusco.

There were 43 narcotics sei-zures at the Kingsgate crossing from September 2009-September 2010 and 51 from September 2010-September 2011. At the Rykerts crossing, there were 14 narcotics seizures from April 2009-April 2010, and four from April 2010-April 2011. As with weapons, each seizure may include multiple items.

Weapons and narcotics sei-zures may be the most tantaliz-ing offenses to hear about, but they are far from the most com-mon infraction border guards come across.

With the Canadian and U.S. dollars so close to parity, online shopping has seen an increase. But many packages — perhaps 80 per cent, said Steeksma — often don’t contain a receipt, which can make it difficult to bring the product back to Canada.

“[Online shoppers] expect there to be a receipt or invoice in the box,” said Steeksma. “The majority of the time ... there’s no receipt.”

If a parcel can’t be cleared without the receipt, it may be refused entry, necessitating a sec-ond trip to the border — this time with the receipt.

Steeksma said that another concern is the misinformation passed on by travellers who don’t pay taxes or duties on items purchased on a day trip or if they are over their allowed limit. Personal exemptions are $50 for an absence of 24 hours or more, $400 for 48 hours and $750 for seven days.

“The law says that tax should be paid with no exceptions,” said Steeksma.

But if the officers at the cross-ing are involved in a seizure or arrest, there’s a good chance travellers will be waved through without having to pay.

“For their safety, we won’t send them in for that,” she said.

One of the best ways for trav-ellers to make their crossing easi-er is to have receipts — both for purchases and hotels — ready to show border guards as they re-enter Canada. As well, identifica-tion should be kept handy before arriving at the port of entry.

“We still get some people who hop out of their car to get their passport out of the trunk,” said Steeksma.

And above all, do some research before you leave the country.

“It is important for travelers to educate themselves before they travel, or ‘know before you go,’ ” said Steeksma. “By being aware of exemption limits and restrictions, both visitors and residents of Canada can avoid unnecessary delays. In some cases, seizures and penalties can result from failing to declare goods properly.”

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

Canyon-Lister Fire Department (CLFD) volunteers were called out on Sunday after-noon to extinguish six fires on Goat River Bottom that might have been started by a firebug.

Sunday’s callout was the fifth within the last month, CLFD Chief Glenn Guthrie said on Tuesday.

“They would appear to have been deliberately set,” he said. “And they have gone from small fires a month ago to bigger and bigger ones — this is stretching our resources to the max.”

Guthrie credits Creston resi-dent Bob Cull, a heavy equip-ment operator, for reducing the hazard in the most recent inci-dent in which fires were set within a 300-400 yard area.

“If Bob Cull hadn’t moved in with an excavator we’d have been in big trouble,” he said. “He was able to cut some firebreaks in the brush. Without him we would have been there for two days.”

Guthrie said his firefighters didn’t get much of a break after ten of them worked into Sunday evening.

“We were back yesterday to fight another one,” he said.

“At first we thought the fires were the result of kids playing or starting a bonfire. But things have certainly progressed.”

The progression over the past month fit the pattern for an arsonist, Guthrie said.

“Statistically, that’s how fire setters start, with small fires, then they gradually get bigger and happen more often,” he said. “Some residents think someone might be trying to redirect the river flow (at least one fire was set in a log jam on the Goat River) but I’m not sure how that could work.”

Of concern to the chief of a

volunteer crew is the pressure the number of callouts puts on his firefighters.

“Yesterday we only had two guys available,” he said. “On Sunday we got lucky because more people are home and not out working.”

Guthrie met Monday with RCMP Cpl. Charlotte Joa to express his concerns that the fires might be deliberately set and an investigation is underway.

Anyone with information about the fires is asked to con-tact the RCMP at 250-428-9313 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).


Creston’s Glad Tidings Church will be playing host to the En-Kata Choir on Oct. 13 at 7 p.m.

The Tanzanian singing group is travelling as part of the Hope of the Maasai Tour, which is touring to raise funds and awareness

about the many challenges faced by the Tanzanian tribe.

“It is amazing that they are coming to Creston,” Glad Tidings pastor Carl Sawler said on Monday. ”They usually hit the large cities but they are pass-ing through and want to do a presentation here in Creston.”

The En-Kata project is a joint effort between church ministries

and MAPED, a non-governmen-tal organization in Tanzania. MAPED was formed to tackle issues like female circumcision, HIV/AIDS and provision of clean drinking water, and to cre-ate educational opportunities and do evangelism.

RCMP receive over 70 calls during past week


Creston Valley residents no longer have to wonder about what to do with unwanted or broken small appliances. Since Oct. 1, New Life Furniture and Recycling has been one of more than 100 drop-off locations around the province through a new program called Unplugged, the Small Appliance Recycling Program.

“This is a welcome addition to B.C.’s industry-managed and funded recycling programs,” said Recycling Council of BC execu-tive director Brock Macdonald. “By diverting small appliances from municipal waste streams, Unplugged will recover valuable resources, promote conservation and reduce waste management costs for local governments throughout the province.”

The program, the first of its kind in Canada, was introduced

by the Canadian Electrical Stewardship Association. It will accept more than 120 small appli-ances for recycling, ranging from toasters and electric toothbrushes to countertop microwaves and vacuum cleaners.

“This is an important addition to recycling efforts in our com-munity,” said Iain Bell, Town of Creston engineering and public works director.

As many as two million small appliances that were previously

destined for the landfill will be diverted to collect valuable com-ponents, helping to reduce pollu-tion, save energy and protect the environment.

After an appliance is brought to a drop-off location, it is transport-ed to processors in Western Canada and separated into different mate-rials that are then recycled. Metals will be smelted down and recycled into other metal products, while plastics and glass will be sorted and sold or reused in various man-

ufacturing processes.Costs of the program will be

supported by fees added to the purchase price of new applianc-es. The fees range from 25 cents to $10, depending on the item’s size and value. Most are in the $1-$2 range.

In Creston, the drop-off centre is located at New Life Furniture and Recycling at 116 Northwest Blvd. A full list of accepted prod-ucts and fees can be found at unpluggedrecycling.ca.

From page 4•When police were stopped

on Highway 3 on the flats they witnessed a vehicle approach, then do a U-turn to get away. The driver was stopped and found to be intoxicated. He was issued a 90-day driving prohi-bition and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days. The vehicle also bore an expired licence plate.

October 1•Intoxicated people yelling

on East Haskins Road agreed to return to their house party and there were no further com-plaints.

•A female required hospital treatment after she apparently jumped out of a truck in the 8400 block of Highway 3. When police and ambulance person-nel arrived on the scene it was apparent that alcohol was a fac-tor in the incident and the driv-er refused to submit to a road-side screening test. He was

issued a 90-day driving prohi-bition and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days. The woman suffered a broken leg and other non-life threatening injuries.

•An intoxicated Riverview Road resident reported that $600 in cash had been stolen from his wallet.

•A 911 call from Riley Road was attributed to children play-ing with the phone.

•When police responded to a report of an injured coyote on Highway 3A, no coyote was located. The Road Runner issued a quick “beep-beep” and fled the scene.

•An unintended 911 call was attributed to “pocket dialing” by a keen-eared dispatcher who noticed the sounds of a person walk-ing, but not responding to his voice.

•A resident of 44th Street drove through a puddle of what she thought was water, but later turned out to have been oil. She accuses a neighbor of putting the oil on the road.

October 2•A female resident of

Ibbitson Street reported that she had US$3,000, C$400, credit cards and a blank cheque stolen from her wallet while at a casi-no in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.

•A 14-year-old boy from 26th Avenue North sustained burns from gas and required hospital treatment.

•A male, known to the cashier, shoplifted a bottle of vodka from a Canyon Street liquor store. The theft remains under investigation.

For a party whose decision to plow ahead with the harmonized sales tax could relegate it to oppo-sition status after the next election, the BC Liberals don’t seem to be learning from their mis-takes.

“Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead” seems to be the motto, despite new Premier Christy Clark’s insistence that she is not cut from the same cloth as her predecessor.

Smart meters. No doubt when BC Hydro announced that it would be installing meters that will allow both the customer and the corporation to accurately track electrical energy use (and eliminate the need for meter readers), it thought the notion was a no-brainer. Raise awareness of how much electricity actually costs, promote reduction in use, save labour costs. Who’s to argue?

Well, it turns out, there are plen-ty to argue, including 55 per cent of the voters at last week’s Union of BC Municipalities conference, who voted to press the govern-ment to put a moratorium on the smart meter plans. Among the arguments that led to the vote are that the devices could emit levels of radiation that have not been accurately measured. More to the point, though, is the $1 billion cost of making the transition.

It is hard not to make the com-parison between the smart meter debate and the public anger after the newly re-elected Liberals announced they had cut a deal with the federal government to merge the B.C. provincial sales tax

with the still unpopular federal goods and services tax. That deci-sion, too, seemed like a no-brainer. B.C. could dump its own tax-col-lecting service and get a couple bil-

lion dollars as an incentive to jump on board.

Unfortunately for then-premier Gordon Campbell, the public didn’t share his government’s enthusiasm for the plan. During the last elec-tion campaign, the Liberals had been asked if they were considering harmonizing the BC sales tax with the GST. Nope, they said. It’s not even on the radar. But shortly after the election, if you are to believe the governing party, the federal government made an irresistible offer, largely because it would save costs by rolling both BC and Ontario into a new tax regime at the same time.

This will be smooth sailing, the Campbell government no doubt assumed. Explain to the public that the offer was too good to refuse, that a $2 billion-plus incentive would be especially appreciated in difficult economic times. In hind-sight, could it have convinced a majority of British Columbians to support the change? Probably. But Campbell had already passed his “best before” date and his govern-

ment benefited from a proportion of the electorate who voted for it more because they didn’t trust the New Democrats, and less because they were in love with the

Campbell Liberals.When Campbell was

shoved into retirement, the Liberal party leadership hopefuls knew they faced a tough battle in a referen-dum forced by the anti-HST crowd. Christy Clark learned a lesson quickly — she wanted to go to election to earn a personal mandate, but advisors were eventual-

ly able to convince her of the inher-ent risks. Polls that showed grow-ing dissatisfaction with the Liberals also no doubt contributed to her decision to adhere to the fixed elec-tion date that her predecessor had put into law.

Now, without having much opportunity to make her mark as premier, Clark appears for all the world to be another Gordon Campbell in waiting. She and her government are giving short shrift to the growing opposition to smart meters, much of it, no doubt, a result of what the public perceives as a lack of consultation.

Poor economies fuel unrest and governments are easy targets. The guy who isn’t making decisions, good or bad, always looks better than the gal in charge. Clark got that message last week from the prov-ince’s municipal leaders, who tend to have their ears closer to the ground than senior government leaders. She would do well to start paying attention.

There was some rather interesting news on NPR this morning: The major banks in the U.S. are going to start charging customers for using their debit cards — five bucks a month for even one use out-side an ATM machine. I would be willing to bet with-in the year it will be announced that the major Canadian banks will follow suit.

The latest news of money grabbing in Canada is the cost of the inevitable e-pass-port, which will also be mandatory next year for those going outside the country. Check the Passport Canada web-page for information on what that means to us. The cost right now is being estimated at $225 for new passports, which is subject to change. I don’t imagine the change will be in the downward direction and that does not include the cost of getting your picture taken for the chip. They say there is a holo-graphic image and a hidden image of the bearer that can only be viewed under an ultraviolet light. Can they use a regular camera for that? one wonders. There is one small sign of relief, according to whom you talk to and on what day:

These passports will be good for 10 years.

While all around us costs keep going up, you can take some comfort in knowing the cost of books at the

upcoming Friends of the Library book sale has not changed and won’t change in the foreseeable future. All it takes is a donation to purchase any of the books or videos in the room. The sale runs from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Oct. 14 and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Oct. 15. There is still time to bring donations in if you have books you would like to find homes for, and if you need to fill up those spaces again, join us at the sale. The book donations coming in to the library have been steadily increasing for the past year and the quality of the donations remains high.

We are still looking for volun-teers to shelve books in the library

and one of the Creston Valley Gleaners staff members was in today and said they, too, are still in desperate need of volunteers who can take on a couple of regular

shifts a week. Gleaners sales have skyrocketed and they have never been busier. There is not a dime of the money they bring in that is not given back to the com-munity.

A directive has come down to me from the top echelon of our tech staff requesting me to mention our Facebook page and how easy it is to

click on that like button when you find the page. Our staff have estab-lished a lively and energetic Facebook presence and are doing an excep-tional job at learning and maintain-ing new tech skills almost daily. Two of the staff have iPads and it is almost frightening how attached they are to them.

That reminds me, our audiovisual room is available for Skype calls if you don’t have high-speed Internet. Call the library at 250-428-4141 and let us know what time you might need the room and we will reserve it for you.

As the leaves gradually change colour to reds and scarlets, which closer match your complexion as you stagger around stacking and splitting firewood, one’s thoughts drift to autumn community activities. Coming up extremely quickly, a close second to hockey, is the Creston Curling Club and all it offers, with not only a game that you can develop a skill at, but with a social aspect that makes the cooler months fly by. There is still time to register for leagues, which, incidentally, you can do at the community complex and have a peek around at every-thing else going on.

Consider this a textual sneak peek for our arena grand opening sched-uled for Oct. 23, which will have a number of displays and activities, as well as a chance for you to see how we spent our summer. Most likely the last major development we will see for a while, this repair project rejuvenates that quadrant of the building to better match the facility lifespan the commu-nity will get from the pool and fitness centre addition. There will still be a

few loose odds and sods to do but it’s still worth a bit of time on Oct. 23 to come check out. Watch for complete information on the event next week, as well as in your mailbox.

Maybe while you are here for the grand opening, registering for a pro-gram might fill your boots. Speaking of boots, how’s your knowledge of country dancing, like the two-step and the nightclub holding up? For me, having taken those classes in the early ’90s, I have forgotten most of it and sometimes struggle getting my boots on the right feet — you can rest assured Christine Miller will teach you that and more in this fun and

social program. Also starting next week is beginners yoga with Samantha, which is a mid-morning class guaran-teed to energize your whole day. Incidentally, Samantha also teaches

our prenatal yoga class, which falls in the same category of the prenatal education course start-ing Nov. 8.

Don’t forget our school pro-d day programs fire up beginning with underwater hockey camp tomorrow, Oct. 7, and if you are interested in either helping with or donating to the Halloween Hysteria special event on Oct. 31, drop in or call us at 250-428-7127.

Halloween Hysteria is a safe alternative to having the kids wander all over the streets in the dark and cold — pretty much what we did as kids with our snow suits over our costumes for sur-vival. All this and more — just grab a copy of our leisure guide and see what’s out there! Have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday.

Neil Ostafichuk

To the Editor:I write to express my concern

regarding the provisions in Bill C-4 regarding certain groups of people seeking refugee status in Canada.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association, of which I am a member, has identified three provisions which it and I find objectionable.

One would require mandatory incar-ceration of groups of asylum seekers at the minister’s discretion if he/she or his/her officials suspect human smug-gling or if the process of identification cannot be done in a timely manner (whatever that last phrase means).

Another provision prevents the Immigration Review Board from inves-tigating for 12 months whether a review of the incarceration of members of such groups is warranted. That contravenes the constitutional requirement that an initial review be done within 48 hours.

Thirdly, under this bill, members of such groups whose originally ques-tioned refugee claims are finally veri-fied would be denied for five years the right to obtain travel documents or to apply for permanent residence.

These provisions impose restrictions that are contrary to constitutional guar-antees and/or that contravene interna-tional conventions to which Canada is a signatory. But even more disturbing, in my view, is the image of our country they present to its citizens and the world.

A famous British jurist, Sir William Blackstone, once said, “It is better that 10 guilty persons escape than one inno-

cent suffer.” That dictum is surely as valid today as it was in the 18th centu-ry. As other people have argued more recently, when we deny those we fear or suspect the legal protections that make us a free society we indirectly diminish our own freedoms.

I am not arguing that we should be unconcerned about human smuggling. That is certainly a potential threat to our security and, often as well, an act that takes advantage of those being smuggled. But let us deal with it with the legal powers that already exist, powers that are as adequate to preserve our security as other laws are adequate to prevent murder.

Another pillar of our system of jus-tice and our freedoms is the principle that accused persons should be consid-ered innocent until proven guilty. Let us not allow the provisions of Bill C-4 to override that precious principle.

To the Editor:Firstly, I’d like to congratulate the

winners of the Creston Valley Fall Fair’s famous apple pie bakeoff. It was great to see so many entries this year — and what competition!

Secondly, I want those who nudged me out of the winner’s circle this year to enjoy your short-lived apple pie-winning fame for this year because next year I’ll be back, with that glorious red 2012 ribbon proudly displayed on my fridge door!

I’m looking forward to participating in an even greater contest next year. It’s lots of fun.

Lastly, I would like to recognize all the hard-working volunteers that make the fall fair a reality. Thank you for your efforts.

To the Editor:I’d like to congratulate Gordon

Campbell on his gold watch retirement package from Stephen Harper as ambassador to Britain. He deserves a reward for the job they did on the sale of BC Gas, letting the American banks take printed money they stole from the taxpayers to steal our natural gas industry, bailout money that was sup-posed to help the people, then allowing BP to come to our watersheds with big dreams of liquefied natural gas. Where were you on that one, Michelle?

This world is so crazy. I don’t even know what to think. Gordy, don’t for-get your $150,000 as my boot sends you across the Atlantic.

Christy Clark and her campaign promises — $500 million or something stupid for her crack pipe and nuclear weapons factory in Kitimat. Great idea. Where are you gonna get the money for that one? Double the amount of for-eign exchange students? Educate the youth of the world, but not the ones here? What else is new? Where are we gonna have that election? Maybe it’s time for true democracy.

If you've looked into the world of garlic outside the grocery store, you'll know that it can be quite overwhelming at first.

All you need to know about garlicTo easily peel a clove

of garlic, unwrap the loose papery skin and slice the end off the clove. Place it on the counter and place the flat side of a large knife on top of the clove while holding the handle and firmly hit the knife over the garlic with the palm of your free hand. The skin should pull away easily; if not, hit it again, just hard enough to break the skin, but not completely crush the clove. You can also blanch large quantities of garlic for easier peel-ing by separating the cloves and dropping them all into boiling water for 10-20 seconds. Drain the cloves and plunge them into cold water before easily pull-ing the skins away.

Here in the Creston Valley, we have so many different varieties of garlic. While different varieties of garlic can be used in many different ways and in many dif-ferent dishes, some are well suited to specific dishes, like the flavour of Rocombole varieties (Russian red, German red, Asian tempest, Spanish roja being just some of the varieties grown locally) is well suited to dishes such as pesto, where the garlic is a main flavour. All varieties of garlic can be eaten raw, although some specific varieties can be especially spicy while raw such as Susan Delafield, Leningrad, Asian tempest and Russian red.

The especially large bulbs, such as German red, are great for roast-ing. Roasting garlic softens the cloves to make a creamy, almost sweet, spreadable garlic that is much more mild in garlic flavour, but still rich and full of toasty garlic flavour. This method of prepar-ing garlic is great for anyone who loves gar-lic, but is also a great option for anyone that isn’t as fond of it because it takes away the pun-gent, spicy taste of raw garlic that some people don't like. Roasted gar-lic can be used almost anywhere raw garlic is used; just be sure to use at least twice as much roasted garlic, if not much more, as the fla-vour isn’t as strong as raw garlic. I particularly like substituting roasted garlic for raw garlic in any dips or spreads or even salad dressings where raw garlic would be used, our favorite dip being hummus.

See GARLIC, page 9

still be stored for quite some time when stored properly. Any kind of garlic should be stored in a cool, dark place and should be stored so that it has proper air circulation. Garlic is best if not kept in the fridge as it can go soft or even mouldy. It’s best if kept at room temperature or slightly cooler. Once cloves have been removed, the life of the remaining bulb is shortened and the cloves that have been removed should be used right away or stored in the fridge until needed.

From page 8It’s also great in mashed potatoes,

in roasts and stews, and even spa-ghetti sauce. You can mix it with butter to make a garlic compound butter, or you can even spread the roasted cloves directly on fresh crusty bread and enjoy. You can roast a few heads of garlic at a time because any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, or frozen to add to dishes when-ever needed.

To roast garlic, preheat your oven to 350 C. Select your head(s) of garlic and remove the thin papery outer layers of skin as best you can. Then turn your head of garlic on its side and using a large, sharp knife, slice just the tops off all the cloves. If a few smaller cloves aren't exposed, use a small paring knife to cut the tops off. Then place your head of garlic on a small square of foil just big enough to wrap the garlic. Drizzle each head of garlic with one or two teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil and then wrap up with the foil. Place it on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the head of garlic. To test if the garlic is done, remove it from the oven, carefully unwrap it, and use a butter knife to make sure that the individual cloves are very soft. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for later.

GarlicFire extinguishers are an important

safety component in any home or build-ing. They can mean the difference between a devastating fire or a minor incident. Although a fire extinguisher in the hands of a trained adult can be a life- and property-saving tool, many people are not properly skilled in the use of fire extinguishers.

A large portion of the public has not received training on fire extinguisher use and when to use them. Sometimes the use of the wrong extinguisher can exacerbate a fire, as there are different fire extinguishers for different types of fires. Learning when and where to use an extinguisher can be a matter of life and death.

Type of ExtinguisherNot all fires are alike, and fires

started from different materials require the use of different extinguishing agents to safely and quickly put the fire out. There are five different types of extinguishers, and generally each will feature a symbol to show the applicable fire on which they can be used.

Class A: These are used on ordinary substances, like cloth, wood, paper, and plastics.

Class B: These extinguishers are used on fires that feature flammable liquids, such as oil-based paints or gasoline.

Class C: These extinguishers are used on electrical equipment, such as tools or appliances that are plugged in.

Class D: Commonly found in specific factories, these extinguishers are used on flammable metals.

Class K: Combustible cooking mate-

rials, like animal oils and fats, can be extinguished with this agent. They are commonly found in commercial kitch-ens, but are now infiltrating residential markets as well.

Multipurpose: Some extinguishers combine different agents so they are applicable for a range of fires.

When to Use a Fire ExtinguisherSmall fires may be smothered with

an extinguisher. If the fire has spread or is already large in size, it’s likely only a trained firefighter can handle the blaze. Only use a fire extinguisher in these circumstances.

1. The fire is small and contained.2. You have already called the fire

department.3. There is little chance of being con-

sumed by toxic smoke.4. You can escape safely if necessary.5. The fire is not between you and the

escape route.6. You are physically able to carry its

weight and exert the necessary pressure to operate it.

Fire extinguishers should be routine-ly inspected and maintained to ensure they will be effective. Some need to be shaken to keep the dry chemicals from settling. Others need to have the pres-sure at the correct level. An extinguisher may need to be recharged or replaced if it is damaged.

Individuals can talk with firefighters about possible training courses in the use of fire extinguishers. This will help a person know the correct way to handle and activate an extinguisher should it need to be used.

Life can be difficult when you haven’t graduated from high school. It’s doubly difficult when you’re raising young children.

But in Cranbrook, the Colum-bia Basin Alliance for Literacy is offering young parents a chance to complete their secondary edu-cation in partnership with College of the Rockies.

“It was set up because we have a large population of par-ents who have not graduated, now realizing they can't move forward,” says literacy co-ordi-nator Katherine Hough.

“They have limited employ-ment opportunities and some have realized their own children will be attending school in the near future and they won't be able to help them because they themselves haven't finished Grade 12.”

Three years ago, the literacy alliance started a program for mothers and fathers between the ages of 16 and 25, and then opened it up to older parents with pre-school and school-age children, who found it difficult to commit to adult basic education.

Under the young parents edu-cation program, students attend four hours per day, four days a week, and bring their children with them.

Three days are devoted to aca-demic instruction, and the fourth to skills. “So for instance, last year all of the adult learners took their Foodsafe,” Hough says. “They took first aid. They also had instruction on parenting skills, like car seats.”

An hour per day is dedicated to concentrated study, and half an hour to parent and child time.

“That gives them time to focus just on their kids because we know when they go home, a lot don't have time for that one-on-one,” Hough says.

Lunch is also provided — but the learners plan the menus, bud-get for them and prepare the food.

The class is capped at a dozen students, but there’s a waiting list with a continuous intake, so if someone decides it’s not for them, their spot is soon filled.

This year, the program secured a license for the children’s pro-gram, allowing them to provide more programming for infant toddlers.

Adults can spend more than one year in the program as they pursue their goals.

Tanya Chu, now in her third year, has children ages nine, seven and two-and-a-half. She was able to complete her high school equivalency and is now working on courses to prepare her for college.

“I wanted to be a stay-at-home

mom, but always wanted to get my high school [diploma], as well,” she says. “Being that the daycare is right there and I have full access to my child at any time was the reason I chose this program instead of putting him

in daycare and going to college.”Hough says while the pro-

gram comes easily to some, oth-ers have been out of school so long that re-learning study habits is a challenge.

“They've got so many barriers

to deal with. If they can get a few units done and close to a credit in one year, we're quite thrilled.”

Hough is also hopeful the pro-gram can be launched in other Columbia Basin communities. At the moment, it’s the only one.

SASQUATCH ARTS AND MUSIC SOCIETY

Octogenarian billionaire Morti-mer Johnson was a key figure in the Creston Valley economy. His factories — local and abroad — kept thousands employed. And now that he’s dead, his family, friends and acquaintances want a piece of his fortune.

That’s the premise of The Funeral of Mortimer Johnson, an interactive, improvisational com-edy and dinner theatre that will be presented by the Sasquatch Arts and Music Society on Oct. 28 and Nov. 4.

“Our goal was to create a fun and entertaining — not to mention grown-up — evening of entertain-ment,” said Ann Deatherage, who created the play with Jason Smith as a fundraiser for the Snoring Sasquatch arts house.

They got the idea from the Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding, the popu-lar “environmental theatre” event

that enjoyed long runs in Vancouver (14 years), Toronto and New York, and is still run-ning in Las Vegas and San Francisco, among others. Rather than simply watching, ticket holders are seated among the performers, effectively becoming part of the action.

In the case of Mortimer Johnson, the play begins with a funeral at the Snoring Sasquatch, which is followed by a buffet dinner and wake at Coffee Creek Cafe. After dinner, guests will return to the Snoring Sasquatch for the read-ing of the will.

The play is changing shape with each rehearsal, as much of the dialogue is improvised by the actors, guided by Deatherage and Smith’s plot outline.

“It’s exciting to see the char-acters we created brought to life,” said Smith. “When every-one is in character, it makes the situation feel very realistic — other than the fact that some of

the situations are completely ludicrous.”

Characters include family members of the deceased, played by Gail Kitt (mother), Kelly Mehrer (brother), Roxy Schmalz (widow) and Bobby Doran (daughter). Deatherage and Smith

also play roles, joined by Suzanne Chubb, Derek Doyle, Jordan Koop, Jon Smith, Stephanie Sweet, and Dan Caverly.

“These actors are amazing when it comes to improv,” said Smith. “If rehearsals are any indi-cation, this is going to be a very

entertaining evening.”The event, which features a

licensed dinner, is open to adults only. Tickets will be $30 at Kingfisher Used Books or Black Bear Books, and include the three-act play and the licensed dinner (cash bar).

SUBMITTED

Humming a tune while washing the dishes, tapping out a rhythm on the steering wheel, wanting to hear a cer-tain kind of song to suit our mood, emo-tional surges and absent-minded cre-ative moments.

What happens when a space is made for conscious improvisation, grounded in the body and carried by the voice? Magic! We are moved by the precious-ness of our own music, our own stories, perhaps for the first time.

The Singing Soul returns to Creston from Oct. 14-16, led by David Hatfield, a singer, leadership consultant and facil-itator specializing in experiential, trans-formative education. The Singing Soul is unrehearsed, spontaneous group music making, using all voice. It enables new and highly individual modes of self-expression, linking us to our authen-tic truth in the moment. It is simple, no-tech and builds community as it deepens our skills in listening, musical-ity and communication. A wide variety of clearly outlined structures are offered, for the full group, small groups, duets and soloing, each of which generates different experiences and outcomes. We’ll include pauses to talk through our learnings together.

In his 15 years of leading The Singing Soul nationally and internationally, Hatfield has engaged thousands of folks of all ages, backgrounds and levels of experience to explore and maybe dis-

cover their voice for the first time. Singers of all styles have found that improvisation strengthens their abili-ties, while others discover new inspira-tions, a revitalized connection to music, personal development and lots of fun.

The Singing Soul shows us how to relax into our deepest selves through the spontaneity of improvisation — to

let go of “getting it right” and just get into the moment. In doing so, we move away from fears that keep us silent and ties that bind and conform our individuality. Improvisation teach-es us to trust what will emerge, and how to work with the kind of energy, enthusiasm and sense of self that cre-ates very new possibilities. As we unveil our uniqueness in melody, har-mony and rhythm, our stories become original compositions, soulful, deeply moving, and precious. And as fate would have it, it is also profoundly fun! There are no wrong notes and there's nothing to memorize — just breathe and sing.

Evoking the genuine, following the emerging, voicing the unheard of – this is also a leadership practice strongly needed to address 21st century chal-lenges. Those with skills in improvisa-tion add significant value to community building, creative problem solving, managing change, addressing difficult conversations and the transformation of conflict.

The Singing Soul is a swingin’ sway-in’ funk bump Afro gospel sacred soul-ful blues chant jam feelin’ hi mash-up — don’t miss it! For more information, visit www.davidhatfield.ca.

Tickets for the workshop at St. Stephen’s Presbyterian Church are avail-able at Black Bear Books. The Friday night introduction from 7-9 p.m. is $15, and the weekend rate is $75. For more information, see the ad on page 14.

Last week’s annual Union of British Columbia Municipalities conference made the news more than any in the organization’s recent history.

A new premier, new Opposition leader, a pro-vincial government proposal to create an auditor to comment on municipal government spending, a keynote speech by renowned author and demo-graphic expert David Foot — all the ingredients were in place to make for a memorable and meaningful event.

The Advance invited all members of Creston

town council and local directors of the Regional District of Central Kootenay to provide a short summary of their obser-vations.

Mayor Ron Toyota: “To attend this year’s UBCM Convention in Vancouver is a valuable networking and knowledge building opportunity. One of my major highlights, while not directly related to this convention, was being able to take the Canada Line to the Vancouver International Airport on Sept. 27 to welcome Dr. Raphael Elemuo, his wife Mmathapelo and their children Chima and Chioma as they arrived in Canada from South Africa via London, England. I was with Marilin States (our physician recruiter) who then spent the next four days with them in Vancouver to arrange several official meetings to process documents.

“Another highlight was our meeting on our rural regional policing “pilot” proj-ect to update and move this project for-ward. Fifteen were in attendance, includ-ing four staff from the Solicitor General and Public Safety Ministry, two staff from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, two RCMP offi-cers with the Operations Strategy branch, RD directors Binks and Jackman, our town manager and three councillors.”

Coun. Wesly Graham: “This year’s UBCM was busy for me as most are. I am serving on the executive and that means we chair meetings and facilitate the vari-ous clinics that the members attend. The big areas of focus this week were the

MAG (municipal auditor general) file and RCMP contract negotiations with the fed-eral government. Both of these set the tone for the conference. The rising cost of policing and the RCMP wanting a blank cheque from municipalities has everyone alarmed and concerned for our communi-ties. It is a great discussion to be in on, and would gladly talk to anyone that has questions around what is going on.

“I also chaired a clinic around agri-culture with our own RDCK Area C representative Larry Binks. I am amazed at how much information gets passed on in a week’s time and it is great to have the opportunities to meet with the cabinet ministers and share our ideas and concerns. Representing Creston on the UBCM definitely allows us to be seen and heard.”

Coun. Joanna Wilson: “UBCM con-ference week is a time for new ideas, networking and getting focused for the coming year.

“This year we heard from party lead-ers, including the new premier, giving us a sense of the trends influencing deci-sions and policy-making on the provin-cial and federal levels. Among the announcements from the premier, the new office of the auditor general was perhaps the most contentious.

“Many delegates felt the office to be redundant, others felt a judicious look at the municipal books by the auditor general could produce good ideas regarding ‘value for money.’

“Former mayor of Toronto David Crombie spoke of the challenges caused by change, echoing the theme of the conference, ‘Rethink, Replace and Rejuvenate.’

“Keynote speaker David Foot, author of Boom, Bust and Echo, brilliantly out-lined the need for demographic research to inform decision-making at all levels of government. For example, when Canada’s birthrate slowed down after the ‘bulge’ of the baby boomer generation, planning could have been made easier by anticipat-ing declining enrolment in elementary schools, then in high schools, right on schedule several years later.”

Area C director Larry Binks: “This, was to say the least, the best organized and monitored convention that I have attended.

“There were some great opportuni-ties to showcase our wonderful area, I had the opportunity to speak to a room full of very interested folks about our recently finished agricultural plan and just how really important it is to becom-ing sustainable from a farming and food perspective. I also had the chance to spend most of one day with the chief operating officer of the British Columbia Ambulance Service along with all exec-utive directors of all the related depart-ments — medical air evacuations, patient movement via the road system, staffing and training, and the financial person.

From page 14“This was a very productive and posi-

tive day with a lot of problem solving around all these issues,” said Binks.

“There were many, many more great highlights to this year’s UBCM. However as space and time are limited, this is a snapshot of my experience.”

Area B director John Kettle: “One mes-sage that was driven home for me this year was the issue of economic stability. If we don’t have a strong private sector, more of the burden of government will fall on the general taxpayer. The belief that high taxes are killing the economy is by many bureau-crats and ‘nanny state’ thinkers throughout the province. There are still those who advo-cate taxing and spending with no end in sight. We need to live within our means!

“From my experience this term, the regional directors, mayor and council have all worked together to benefit this valley.

“It is our job to ‘leave it better than we found it’ and for my part I will continue to work to ensure that we can be more effi-cient in service delivery while keeping taxes down in the future.”

Couns. Judy Gadicke and Jerry Schmalz, and Area A director Garry Jackman did not respond to the invitation to communicate their views.

Reports on conference

Submitted photoKeePInG slo-PItcH alIve — the transcanada corporation recently presented a cheque for $1,000 to the yahk-Kingsgate recreation society to help replace the slo-pitch backstop. the original was in danger of collapse due to rotting timbers, but the new one will be supported by galvanized poles set in concrete. yahk’s field was once the preferred site for slo-pitch tournaments involving teams from surrounding communities, serving as a sort of halfway location between cranbrook, and creston. It is hoped that with the attraction of ongoing improvements, it will again take on that function.

Nestled into the flatlands just below the hillside community of Wynndel is an enterprise that has quietly become of one North America’s premier makers of high quality lumber products.

Now, after investing about $20 million in sawmill upgrades over the last five years, Wynndel Box and Lumber has restructured its organization to maximize its position. All of the 98-year-old compa-ny’s business — from forest to delivery — will now be overseen by a four-person board of directors.

“In the past there wasn’t a lot of con-nectivity (among the family-owned busi-ness’s numerous arms),” Michael Combs said last week. “This restructure adds a higher level of accountability to our very capable management team. It also allows the directors to step back from day to day operations and focus on the bigger picture of how we con-tinue to grow and thrive in the 21st century economy.”

Combs chairs a board of directors that includes Michael Wigen, Dave Wigen and Susan Jorgenson. He is married to Karen Wigen, daughter of Bob.

“I think it is important to acknowl-edge the foresight (company founder) Monrad Wigen showed when he pur-chased the current site of of the company and where it still stands today. From humble beginnings making apple boxes for local apple orchards the business was passed on to his two sons, Jack and Bob who expanded into a full blown log-ging and lumber sawmill with great suc-cess,” Combs said. “With nearly a cen-tury of being a major contributor to the Creston Valley’s economy, they have served the business and the community well. Now, the torch has been passed onto to the next generation to ensure the company continues to thrive.”

Combs, a successful trial lawyer with an extensive business and corporate back-ground, said the massive investment undertaken by Jack and Bob’s sons and daughters five years ago was a sign that they were planning for a long and pros-perous future.

His own involvement, Combs said, has given him a keen insight into just how important Wynndel Box and Lumber, with its 150 employees, is to the Creston Valley.

“As the largest private employ-er in the Creston Valley our Wigen family takes great pride but we know it also comes with a large responsibility to our community,” he said. “I spent a lot of time interviewing some of our key employ-ees to get an understanding of this business when I got involved last

spring,” he said. “I talked to one of our managers who is 48 years old and has been with us for 30 years. His two sons work here. And his father worked here. It was actu-ally quite emotional to real-ize that generations of families have been supported by this mill and logging operations.”

Colin Parsons, who was hired to manage the sawmill operations five years ago, has been responsible for overseeing the mill’s modernization, one that has included a state-of-the-art moulder and finishing line and construction of new dehumidifier-drying kilns. He was recent-ly named the company’s chief operating officer.

“The truth is that the last five years have been very positive,” he said. “It is

i m p o r -tant for people to understand that the changes and improvements have allowed us to diver-sify our markets and thrive during what has been a difficult economy. We have doubled our production capacity in that period.”

“The changes that have been undertaken — from mill mod-

ernization to the corporate restructure — set us up

for the future,” said sales manager

Dirk Kunze. “With one

core com-pany, a

lot of

dupli-cation of

effort has been elimi-

nated. We can focus on keeping

the mill operating productively 12

months a year by ensur-ing there is a steady supply of

logs coming in.”“Our motto used to be ‘Sell what we

make,’ ” Parsons said. “Now we have shifted that to ‘Make what we sell.’ ”

It is a subtle difference, but Parsons said that Wynndel Box and Lumber doesn’t really know how large the market for its products is, because it continues to

sell everything it can make with relative ease.

“Dirk and I have a bit of a tug of war,” he laughed. “I’m always pushing him to find new markets and he wants to hold back so that he is certain that he can fill our current cus-tomers’ orders.”

“The distributors who buy our product aren’t shopping here and there,” Kunze explained. “They get the prod-uct they want from us and they buy exclusively from us — I don’t want to have to tell them that we have no product to ship.”

“Part of our strategy has been to target high-end mar-kets,” Parsons said. “They are the last to be hit by economic downturns.”

“What we produce is best described as a super high-end product,” Kunze added.

“We are probably one of the the only mills in North America that can do what we do,” Parsons said. “We’ve pumped a lot of money into serving the high-end U.S. market and our quality has given us entry to Japan, too.”

Five years ago, 80 per cent of Wynndel Box and Lumber’s

exports went into the Michigan area.

“We wanted to diversify our products and our geography,” Parsons said. “Now we are very strong in other areas of the U.S., Japan and we also sell in Canada, Mexico and the Middle East.”

By aligning logging opera-tions with sawmill needs, Kunze said he can now work to sell into new markets. Increasing integration between the sales and logging operations will lead to much more efficiency for the company.

“For instance, we have never known how much we can sell in the spring building market because it is always difficult to obtain much prod-uct at that time of year,” Kunze said. “Now, working much more closely with Ron Piva, our logging manager, we will be more in sync and have greater planning ability for both sales and logging.”

While the new corporate structure means there will be less direct daily involvement by the owners, Combs said it shouldn’t be interpreted that they will be absentee own-ers.

“We all have a major com-mitment to this business and will be working to ensure that our management team and employees have what they need,” Combs said. “We are constantly brain-storming about what we can do — this is not a ‘business as usual’ approach. Instead of each of us being responsible for segments of the business, we are all focused on the whole of the business.”

Combs, a resident of Laguna Beach, Calif., said he has been impressed with the company’s ability to retain and attract quality management and staff.

“We haven’t had many senior, key people leave in recent years,” Parsons said. “There are always opportuni-ties for good people to work elsewhere. It says a lot about the company, but about the community, too. People really want to live here.”

“We want Wynndel Box and Lumber to be a place where people want to work, and we want to be a fair and reasonable employer,” Combs said.

While the business has

undertaken many changes over the last five years, Combs said the work continues.

“We aren’t there yet, but we are making major progress,” he said.

“We are not resting on our laurels. Our goal is that we are going to be ready for the next century. Whatever it takes, we’re going to make it happen.”

BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats may have lost both of their games on the weekend, but head coach Brent Heaven isn’t letting it get him down.

“I’m not banking the whole sea-son on what happens in the first month,” he said. “We’re making huge strides to be the team I want to be and what the boys want to be, as well. … The boys are working so hard and feeling we should be win-ning, but we’re not quite getting it done yet.”

On Friday, the Fernie Ghost-riders visited Creston, and went

home with a 4-3 win, despite the Thunder Cats outshooting the vis-itors 33-25.

“I think the team played well, but we had some letdowns with goaltending,” said Heaven. “The boys showed a lot of resiliency.”

Creston’s Brock Ward led scor-ing in the middle of the first period with a goal that was followed by two from Fernie. The second period was scoreless, but two Fernie goals started the third period, which ended with goals by Creston’s Dane Birks and Jesse Collins.

When the Thunder Cats visited the Nelson Leafs on Saturday, they also outshot them, but ended up losing 6-5.

T-Cats coach positive despite back-to back losses“Two out of their first four shots went in,”

said Heaven.The Thunder Cats followed those goals

with one by Formosa near the end of the first period, and Forward and Ward each scored at the beginning of the second.

“We were being creative and getting oppor-tunities,” said Heaven.

But Nelson scored the next four, two in the second period and two in the third — at which point, Heaven pulled goalie Ryan Waldhaus and replaced him with backup goalie Tyler Moffatt — before Forward and Jordan Johnson each scored to bring the final tally to 6-5.

“We absolutely dominated the last two or three minutes of the game,” said Heaven.

He was able to find the positive aspect of this season’s losses, with the exception of the 15-5 loss on the first weekend of the season.

“Except for the game that was a total col-lapse, every game’s been a one-goal game,” said Heaven.

With four points, the Thunder Cats are in fourth place in the Eddie Mountain Division of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, one point behind the Golden Rockets. The Ghostriders lead the division with 12 points, just ahead of the Kimberley Dynamiters, who have 10.

From page 18The weekend’s games were the first

for newcomer Trevor Forward, a Newfoundland native who was recently cut from the junior A Merrit Centennials, led by former Thunder Cats coach Joe Martin. Forward earned an assist in Friday’s game, and two goals and an assist the next night, and was named third star in both games.

“He was fantastic,” said Heaven. “It was great to see a young kid come in and take control the way he did.”

This weekend, the Thunder Cats hit the road for two West Kootenay games, playing against the Beaver Valley Nitehawks on Friday and the Grand Forks Border Bruins on Saturday.

The Nitehawks are in second place in the Neil Murdoch Division with 10 points, while the Border Bruins have lost every game this season — although that doesn’t allow the Thunder Cats to relax.

“We’ve got to go in there and play a strong, solid 60 minutes,” Heaven said. “If we do that, there is no doubt in my mind we’ll come out with two points.”

On Sunday, the Chase Heat travels from the Doug Birks Division to visit Creston. As with Grand Forks, it hasn’t chalked up any wins this season.

Heaven is confident that the Thunder Cats will emerge victorious from the three upcoming games.

“I think if we continue to play the style of game we have been, we’ll give ourselves a chance to win,” he said. “With the tide tuning a bit and the ice slanting in our favour because of our work ethic, we’re going to be getting rewards.”

COLUMBIA BASIN ALLIANCE FOR LITERACY

It is hard work to raise a family. Bills, homework, and driving, driving, driving! What if you add to the usual demands, the extra requirements of supporting a child or youth with a mental health challenge? Doctor’s appointments, counseling, reminders to take medication, sleep disruptions, and the possible side effects of medica-tion — it can be exhausting.

Children and youth with men-tal health challenges often face unique obstacles to healthy living

due to the symptoms of their ill-ness, the medication they are on or the stigma they may face. A lack of understanding and a fear of the unknown are often the sources of the misunderstanding and fear. This can sometimes lead to isolat-ing individuals and families at the time when they most need sup-port and encouragement.

Social connection and accep-tance play a vital role in mental health and well-being. Recently BC Mental Health and Addictions Services and the FORCE (Families Organized for Recognition and Care Equality) Society for Kids’

Mental Health developed toolkits to help overcome the obstacles to healthy living. The tool kits, one for families and another for health professionals, provide information and resources to promote healthy living in children and youth with mental health challenges. The tool kits have tips to enhance family life through healthy sleep habits, stress management, and healthy eating.

Mental Illness Awareness Week was October 2-8 and October is Health Literacy Month. In 28 com-munities across the Interior region, community partners — led by the local literacy outreach co-ordinator

— are working together to raise awareness through promotion and distribution of the tool kits to health professionals who can sup-port children and youth with men-tal health challenges and their families. Three regional library systems have ordered tool kits to add to their floating collections to make sure this information is widely available to support fami-lies through their network of over 70 library branches across the Interior region.

Here in Creston, local literacy outreach co-ordinator Linda Steward is meeting with Creston

and District Community Resource Centre staff and local advisory committees to come up with a distribution plan for the healthy living tool kits.

For further information about activity in your community or if you would like one of these kits for families or professionals, please contact Steward at 250-428-2664 or [email protected].

For more information on treat-ment and supports available for children and youth with mental health challenges, visit the Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre at keltymentalhealth.ca.

COLLEGE OF THE ROCKIES

The board of governors of College of the Rockies is pleased to announce the election of a new board chair and vice-chair during its regular meeting held on Sept. 15.

Elected to the position of chair is Orest Federko of Cranbrook. Federko was appointed to the col-lege board by the province in September 2008. He is recently retired from the position of region-al manager of diagnostic imaging for the Interior Health Authority. Previously he was site manager in the department of radiology and an instructor in the School of Radiology with the Regina Health District. Federko holds a diploma as a medical radiation technologist from the School of Radiology, Regina General Hospital, and a diploma in health care administra-tion from the University of Saskatchewan.

Elected to the position of vice-chair is Richard Reinders of Cranbrook. Reinders was appoint-ed to the college board by the prov-ince in June 2008. He is owner of the Canadian Tire store in Cranbrook and is a financial ser-vices committee member with the Canadian Tire Dealer Group. In the past, he served as director of dealer support with Canadian Tire Corporation. Reinders is active in the Cranbrook community. He has served as vice-chair of the Key City Theatre, as president of the East Kootenay Foundation for Health and is a member of his local Rotary club.

“Both Orest and Richard are familiar with the workings of College of the Rockies and the chal-lenges and opportunities that lay ahead,” said COTR president and CEO Nick Rubidge. “They possess the skills, abilities, knowledge and passion that will be necessary to move the board and the college for-

ward. I look forward to work-ing with them both in their new leadership capacities.

“I would like to thank out-

going chair Alex Jensen for his outstanding service to the col-lege and the board in his capac-ity as chair. We are delighted

we will continue to have the benefit of his advice and coun-cil as he remains a member of the college board.”

DUCKS UNLIMITED

Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) began supporting the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area (CVWMA) in 1970 and it was the first DUC project in British Columbia. Since that time, DUC has spent $2,765,530 conserving, restoring and managing nine separate proj-ects within a 20 kilometre radius of Creston.

The Creston chapter, with support from residents and local businesses, has done its share of fundraising to contrib-ute $496,772 over the past 26 years.

The whole process of get-ting ready for the fundraising dinner begins in July when the merchandise catalogues arrive from DUC head office. The committee selects the prints and DUC logo items they think would appeal to you. These items are ordered and then the members can-vass the businesses in Creston, Porthill, Bonners Ferry, Sirdar, Grey Creek and Crawford Bay to see if they would like to sponsor an item from the cata-logue or donate an item from their own stock. The valley people are very generous and the selection of Silent and Live auction items must be seen to be believed.

For an example, Barrie Brown, known locally for his whimsical birdhouses, has donated a barn board garden bench. Wouldn’t you like that in your back garden? To view some of the items that will be featured at the dinner, take a walk past Mawson’s Sports and look at the window dis-play.

One new idea this year is called “high flyer”. Thirteen of the highest bidders (on selected items) enter the final round. One person, by a process of

elimination, gets to choose their dream vacation.

Gertie Brown and her com-mittee are hoping that you have saved Oct. 15 on your calendar to come and cele-brate a fun-filled evening in the Creston room at the com-

munity complex. It’s our chance to give back to the wetlands.

Tickets are selling quickly but are still available from any Creston Ducks Unlimited mem-ber and from Mawson’s Sports.

BY TRAvIS BOWERTrail Daily Times

Trail and Rossland both took home awards as well as unsolved provincial issues after last week’s Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference in Vancouver.

The UBCM brings mayors and council mem-bers from all communities in British Columbia to discuss ideas and present community issues.

One issue that was heavily discussed was B.C. Hydro’s “smart meters.”

Fifty-five per cent of delegates voted for a moratorium on the program. However, Energy Minister Rich Coleman said the government is moving ahead with the plan despite the objec-tions.

“The smart meter is a huge issue,” said Rossland Mayor Greg Granstrom. “But I think it may be a done deal.”

Trail Mayor Dieter Bogs was unavailable for comment, however, Councilor Gord DeRosa agreed with Granstrom.

“I don’t think we have an option there coming through whether we like them or not.”

De Rosa also expressed concern over the health issues surrounding the new meter but added the province had every right to install the new meters.

“To be blunt I think it’s a bit irrelevant because they’ve already said there not going to take any notice on what we say,” said Fruitvale Mayor Libby Nelson.

Cash or lack thereof was a constant refrain over the weeklong meetings, said Montrose Mayor Griff Welsh.

“It was an interesting conference with a lot on the line. But the bottom line is there isn’t any money.”

Trail found that out when it came to discuss-ing the future of the old bridge.

Representatives from Trail had meetings with the Ministry of Highways and Transportation regarding the fate of the now-closed bridge.

“We pressed heavily for help in the demol-ishing of the bridge,” said DeRosa. “The Ministry of Highways and Transportation used it for 60 years and then handed it over to Trail for a dollar and we used it for 40 years. So in my mind a 60/40 split on demolition costs is fair.”

However, the presentation was denied because of lack of money.

“ We expect something,” said DeRosa. “We’ll keep pressing and that bridge needs to come down but we need help with it.”

Amid the constant discussions were award presentations

Trail received a UBCM Community Excellence Award in the Partnership Category, which recog-nizes two or more partners who collaborated on a joint venture or initiative.

Trail’s was presented with the Accessibility and Inclusion Award.

“Our contaminated sites here in Trail had to
