Fall from Canyon Bridge kills boy

First sand sculpture contest offers prizes

An 11-year-old boy was pronounced dead on the scene Monday evening after he fell while playing on trusses that support Canyon Bridge, west of Creston just off Highway 3. RCMP Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said police, ambulance and fire department personnel were called to the scene after 5 p.m. “Three young brothers were climbing around the trusses,” he said. “One slipped off and fell to the ground below. It was a drop of 40 to 60 feet.” Gollan said that investigation of the death is in the hands of the BC Coroners Service and that there is no suspicion of foul play. “This is a very dangerous practice, playing under a bridge of that height,” he said. Emergency personnel were able to reach the accident scene by way of a trail that winds down the steep incline from Canyon-Lister Road to the Goat River below. The area contains a popular swimming hole. Police were not releasing the name of the deceased at press time.

Playing in the sand can reap benefits this weekend, that is if you are a participant in Creston’s first annual sand sculpture contest. World-class sand sculptor Paul Dawkins is supervising the project on the Ramada Hotel and Conference Centre property at the corner of highways 3 and 3A. “There is no need to register ahead,” said Dawkins. “Just show up.” He will provide a free training workshop to anyone who wants it — more confident artists “can wing it.” With 39 years of experience in making sand, snow and ice sculptures on six continents, Dawkins brings plenty of knowledge to his craft. He has amassed 21 medals and five titles in the White Rock and Harrison Hot Springs world sand sculpture championships. See SCULPTURE, page 3

Winter program helps swimmers maintain skills

LOcaL news

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 3

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Following the Aug. 13-19 provincial championships, the Creston Wave Swim Club is now finished for the season, but for some, the break will only be a few months — the winter maintenance program kicks off in January, something potential members should think about over the fall. “It would definitely be a good start and prepare you for summer,” said coach Kevin Woykin. “You don’t take that few weeks to catch up to everybody else.” From January through April, members meet for two hours a week; any more time and the club would no longer be considered a summer program. The low-impact sport is good for athletes who don’t excel at team sports — swimmers compete on their own — and provides excellent off-training for sports like hockey and soccer. This summer, about 35 swimmers were part of the club, which Woykin enjoyed coaching for the third summer in a row. “It’s a really fun job,” said the University of Victoria biology student, who plans to go into medicine. “It’s always fun being around kids.” Thanks to Creston’s indoor swimming pool, which has entered its third year since opening, swimmers can practice on their own in the fall, leading up to the winter maintenance program. Then, when Waves start up fulltime in May, they will be ready for greater challenges. “A lot of new swimmers improve a ton,” said Woykin. “A lot of them start with water wings and a life jacket, and by the end they’re doing it on their own.” For more information on the Creston Wave Swim Club, email crestonwave@ gmail.com or call assistant coach Monique Ares at 250-402-6768.

QUEEN’S MEDAL — Lower Kootenay Band Chief Jason Louie was presented with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal on Sunday by Richard Blackwolf,

president of the Canadian Aboriginal Veterans and Serving Members Association. Louie was a recipient of one of 80 medals the association was asked to distribute to selected members across Canada. The lieutenant is a serving member of the Canadian Army in the 49th Field Engineering Squadron based in Trail.

Sculpture is ‘most elaborate piece’ From page 1 For his first Creston project, he envisions a sculpture that could last until Christmas — it’s being built under a shelter — and a theme that embraces a bridge between First Nations and European culture. “It’s the most elaborate piece ever in my 39 years,” he said. He is also incorporating the logos of sponsoring local businesses, weaving them into what promises to be a piece of art unlike any ever in Creston.

Dawkins has worked on far larger scales, building sculptures up to six acres in area, using 70,000 tons of sand and reaching 67 feet in height, but the one-time film animator is excited to be working on a project that will have incredible detail. Already the section he has been working on each evening is showing that he knows his business. A towering mountain peak features a winding road, reflective of The Creston DriveBy, the title he has selected for the piece.

Participating artists are promised plenty of fun and the chance to win prizes valued up to $1,500. Aspiring sand sculptors will work on ready-made sand blocks and screened sand will be provided. Bring hand trowels, kitchen utensils, small shovels or your favourite beach toys, or use tools provided by Dawkins. The contest will run from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Sept. 1 and 2, with the winners (chosen by public ballot) announced on Sunday at 5 p.m. For more information, call Dawkins at 250-402-1036.

SD8 trustee stepping down BY SAM VAN SCHIE Nelson Star

The School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) trustee for Slocan Valley is stepping down from her position. Two-term trustee Barbara Lindsay is pursuing an opportunity to volunteer at public schools in Zanzibar in September. Though she’s only nine months into the three year elected position she received by acclamation, Lindsay said her skills will be put to better use overseas. “There’s a skill set I have and I’m passionate about and I can use in a way that’s probably better for me and better for people,” she said. Lindsay spent six years travelling the world as a teacher and adviser after she retired in 2002. Her work took her to Kuwait, Mexico, Egypt, Korea and Quatar. When the opportunity to work in Zanzibar came through her email inbox, she couldn’t help but respond. “I just hit send, and then they called me and now I’m off on a direction that I have no idea how it will unfold,” she said. She has a one year contract to work with the heads of five primary schools and five secondary schools on Pemba Island, helping them develop curriculum and sharing best practices from the BC education system. “I’m hoping to do some work around gender equality and create some strength for young

women and girls,” she said. “There’s a lot about the job I won’t find out until I get there.” The school board was slated to receive Lindsay’s official resignation at its Aug. 28 regular meeting. Supt. Jeff Jones said the board will have to make a plan to fill the position. “We’re discussing with the prov-

ince our options for how to do that,” Jones said. Lindsay said she’s been talking with several people in Slocan who might be interested in taking her place. “It would good to have a real election, with multiple candidates, to really get people interested in discussions around education,” she said.

A CBC Radio program on Saturday raised a topic that seems to have relevance in almost every aspect of human society. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a wonderful reinforcement for libertarians â&#x20AC;&#x201D; folks who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like too much government influence or interference in their lives. The Invisible Handâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s topic on the weekend was an economic concept called perverse incentives, which are the unintended results of actions taken to address a particular issue. The most amusing example on the program was a plan in Hanoi to reduce a problem rat population. Get the people to take on the battle, officials decided. Encourage them to kill the rats by paying them for each one. Of course, the city government didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be inundated by people arriving at offices with dead rats so, like most similar plans over the years and around the world, it decided to settle for the tail. It takes me back to my gopher-snaring days in Calgary. But, as Robert Burns said so beautifully: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best-laid schemes oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mice anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; men Gang aft agley, Anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;e us nought but grief anâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pain, For promisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d joy!â&#x20AC;? The first sign that something was amiss came when officials noticed tailless rats running around in alleys and gutters. Then, a number of â&#x20AC;&#x153;rat farmsâ&#x20AC;? were discovered. Residents were taking full advantage of the rat tail reward scheme, first by not bothering to kill the rodents (a messy and unnecessary activity, and one that, shall we say, kills the goose that lays the golden egg) and then upping the ante by capturing them

and practicing rat husbandry (and wifery, too, one surmises), making it unnecessary to actually go out and hunt for the animals. The Hanoi government abandoned the plan when an analysis

a story about an Austrian woman in 18th century who was so disillusioned with her arranged marriage that she decided she wanted to die. The problem she faced was that suicide was a sure passage to hell because a person who takes his own life has no opportunity to be blessed and forgiven for his sins. She thought she had found a loophole when she tried to commit suicide by consuming arsenic in a small enough quantity that she would have time to Lorne Eckersley repent in the presence of a priest before she died, thus showed the rat population was actu- paving her way to heaven. She ally increasing. eventually abandoned that plan Another example cited was the and came up with an even more three-strikes-and-youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re-out policy dire scheme.

Government adds EI benefit for families with sick children

The government of Canada is committed to supporting parents and families. To this end, on Aug. 7, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced a proposed new Employment Insurance (EI) special benefit for parents of critically ill children. The government recognizes the emotional and financial challenges faced by parents when a child has a lifethreatening illness or injury and the vital role parents play in a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery. Once implemented, this new EI special benefit will provide income support for up to 35 weeks to parents or legal guardians of minor children (under 18 years of age) with a life-threatening illness or injury. As with other EI special benefits, applicants (parents or legal guardians) will need to have worked a minimum of 600 hours in the last year and take leave from their employment. Self-employed workers who have opted into the EI pro-

gram will need to have earned income in the previous calendar year ($6,222 in 2012) to be eligible for the benefit. All applicants will also need to submit a medical cer-

condition improves or in the unfortunate event that the child passes away. For the purposes of this new special benefit, a critically ill child is defined as one who has a life-threatening illness or injury for which continued parental care or support is required. The new EI special benefit for parents of critically ill children is expected to be available in June 2013 and will help an estimated 6,000 families per year. This new EI special benefit will ease the financial pressure on parents who take time off work to care for their critically ill or injured children when they need it the most. As the member of Parliament for Kootenay-Columbia, I am pleased that our government has taken this further initiative to assist and support families. David Wilks is the member of Parliament for the Kootenay-Columbia federal riding.

Time to fight smart meters

To the Editor: Creston and area residents may not yet be aware of the Fortis BC plan to replace electric analog meters with a wireless “smart” or “advanced” meter, part of the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) project to be done on all homes within the near future. The Aug. 16 Advance includes their public notice of application for this AMI project. From the website www.ecolighten.com: “Following in the footsteps of BC Hydro’s smart metering roll-out, Fortis BC recently filed an application with the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) for an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) project. Released on July 26, the application outlines the plan for AMI including the costs, the benefits to customers and the public consultation process. Advanced meters or ‘smart meters’ provide a number of advantages for consumers and the utility alike, including real-time access to energy information, reduced estimates for billing, quicker notification of outages and electricity theft reduction, which costs millions annually. … “A few high-level bullets on the AMI program include: “•Number of meters — 115,000 meters exchanged in total; “•Cost — $47 million AMI program; “•Timing — Meter exchanges would begin in 2014 and be complete by the end of 2015; “•Environment — Eliminates 191,000 tonnes of GHG emissions from meter reading vehicles. “•Theft prevention — Electricity theft costs Fortis BC about $3.7 million annually.” Creston residents should also become aware and informed of the hundreds of documented problems, hazards and potential dangers associated with these new meters. The smart meters have been installed in many states in the U.S. and many cities in Canada. To date, there are reports of huge cost increases in electricity bills, numerous fires and fire explosions, sickness in people and animals, dead bees and plants, and damage to appliances and electronics, pacemakers, along with safety, security and privacy problems. If you haven’t heard about this yet, start becoming informed about these dangers by visiting www.stopsmartmetersbc.ca. The reports are staggering and shocking! You will not want one of these meters on your home or work building. Time is of the essence, and you must register your comments by Sept. 7 with the BCUC (www.bcuc.com ). Why didn’t they give people more time for this process? It’s good to know that the Regional District of Central Kootenay has passed two resolutions this year supporting an opt-out provision for these meters. Please, Creston and area residents, also continue to voice your concerns with your town council or regional district over these not so smart wireless meters. Ask for a moratorium as Osoyoos and 53 other B.C. cities have done. BC Hydro and Fortis BC appar-

Financial tips People need balance with for town nature

To the Editor: Creston town council has been operating in a crisis management style for the past decade, with managers being comparatively overpaid and departments overstaffed, including overly generous financial funding paid out for council members’ travel allowances. All of this is resulting in excessively high taxation to the property and business owners in the town, resulting in direct shorting to all who are concerned about regaining financial control toward sustaining and growing essential infrastructure levels, including street maintenance. To reverse this situation, I suggest the following items be placed on the town council’s agenda for a town hall meeting exclusively for these six items. Each of the issues to be discussed and decisions made on each item by way of secret ballot vote by council members: •A resolution to be passed that reduces the number of councillors in the 2014 municipal election from six to four; •Freeze salaries for a minimum of eight years to allow for positive reassessment of all areas of expenditure; •Travel restrictions by council members will be limited to one per month, with distances limited to a radius of Nelson to the north and Cranbrook to the east. As an alternative to expending higher cost travel funds for interacting with municipalities farther away, council will adopt the use of modern interactive telecommunications systems (such as video conferencing) from now on; •Effective immediately, council must revert its town hall meeting times back to 7 p.m. as is the norm with all other municipal town hall meetings in B.C. By not doing so, council is blatantly denying its Creston citizens the opportunity to express their concerns without having to book time off from their workplace; •Effective Feb. 1, 2013, council hire one newly graduated police officer for the Town of Creston at a starting salary of $38,000 for the first three years, then hire one more rookie graduate each year for the next five years. Living within the town’s limits will be part of the application requirements. Once this is accomplished, council can cancel the town’s contract with the RCMP, which is neither affordable nor feasible; and •In the spring of 2013, following the budget, begin a replacement program for all the town’s half-ton pickup trucks. Starting with two per year, switch to more fuel-efficient mid-size pickup trucks, with standard transmissions to reduce overall costs. Also consider the savings for fleet insurance and purchase pricing with fleet buying. All of the above strategies are considered “aggressive management” and are essential to undertake if our town is

To the Editor: Many of the actions being taken today by environmentally conscientious people are more or less attempts to treat a symptom of the big problem. And perhaps a piecemeal process is the most effective way to get the majority to take part in the process. But I think that it is opportune to draw Canadians’ attention to a matter of grave concern and suggest to you that rallying to stop the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline and thereby prevent the almost certain spills of bitumen and solvent from the pipeline or the tankers carrying it to overseas markets is, more or less, treating a symptom. Here is the prologue: Our solar system was formed about 4.5 billion years ago and our sun is expected to expand into a red giant in another four billion years, thereby NOWSo we can annihilating life on Earth. plan ahead for four billion years. It RECYCLING took about 3.5 billion of the 4.5 billion LEAD years for astronomical, geological and some biological events and processes ACID for substances likeVEHICLE sodium, chlorine, phosphorus, potassium, nitrates, heavy and light metals, BATTERIES and carbon-based gasses, liquids and solids to be separated and concentrated, then sequestered in large deposits beneath the surface of our planet and, thereby, about one billion years ago, making our atmosphere, oceans and land suitable for the development of oxygen-breathing animals. Here is the big problem: Presently, we are mining, drilling, pumping and fracking (hydraulic fracturing) in order to unsequester these substances, use them to supply energy, grow food, manufacture machines and devices, and give us a better quality of life and great economy. However, in the language of economists, there is a significant negative externality, which is: in unsequestering these substances, we return them to the air, water and land where they were in the beginning, and if we releaseONLY enough, our environStarburst ment will no longer be suitable for oxy55,958km gen breathing animals. That won’t give us a better quality of life for the remaining four billion years. We need to get in balance with the nature of our planet, find the limit to our growth where we can recycle naturally, keep the air and water clean, use solar energy to its maximum potential, recognize everyone as equal and avoid having the four horsemen of the apocalypse make our decisions for us. That will give us a great economy without a negative externality. Peter Ross Lister
