Bylaw dispute process adopted BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff A new system to deal with bylaw infractions including noise, animal control and unsightly property takes effect in Creston in December. “In the past, bylaw disputes were handled in the provincial court system,” said Mayor Ron Toyota. “Arguing minor bylaw infractions in court was often impractical, due to the time and costs involved.” Toyota said he is pragmatic about the change. “The number one reason we are adopting this new system is because the old one was cumbersome. It just didn’t work.”

Jury returns recommendations in Sweatman inquest BY GREG NESTEROFF Nelson Star

TODAY'S WEATHER

A Nelson coroner’s jury has made nine recommendations to prevent future deaths like that of a Nelson Search and Rescue volunteer.

The suggestions are all directed at Emergency Management BC and the BC Search and Rescue Association and include standardized training and equipment for swift water teams, and a review of funding models to better support operations.

Shoppers collecting gifts for Crest View Care Village

Brian Lawrence

For the second year, Creston’s Shoppers Drug Mart is doing its part to bring a merry Christmas to residents in Crest View Care Village. Until Dec. 19, anyone can purchase and drop off a gift for the extended care facility’s residents at the down-

town pharmacy. “We will wrap them and deliver them to Crest View before Christmas,” said pharmacist Karl Mottl. If last year’s generosity is any indication, the gift drive should be a success once again. “Last year, we had enough to take a gift for everyone,” said Mottl.

Sweatman The jury’s nine recommendations

From page 1 The jury heard five lengthy days of testimony from about 20 witnesses last week before beginning their deliberations on Saturday morning. They reached their verdict late that afternoon. Sweatman’s father, Wynn, told reporters the jury was thorough and his family is happy to have the recommendations. “I feel like we can now begin to move forward,” he said. “But it’s been a really hard week. From an emotional point of view, we’ve taken a step back a year in terms of coping with this loss.” Although the recommendations don’t specifically mention the use of steel cable in vehicle recoveries, Wynn said they do suggest that swift water teams use only their own equipment whenever possible. The jury also said appropriate tools for self-rescue and companion rescue “must be immediately accessible.” “In one way or another, all of those things contributed to losing Sheilah,” Wynn said. “There’s nothing happy about this for us, but I think Sheilah’s legacy will be a big improvement in standards.” Wynn was the last witness to testify Friday. He said no facts emerged at the inquest that weren’t previously learned in the 16 months since Sheilah’s death. “It made me mad it took so long to get to those issues that ultimately end up fairly simple. I told them Sheilah was courageous and passionate and that the managers and the system needs to protect the passionate volunteers.” He added the family has no interest in 2.8125” x 3”

1. That Emergency Management British Columbia (EMBC) expand the existing swift water task force to include members of search and rescue operations as well as the RCMP, BC River Guides Association, BC River Outfitters Association, WorkSafe BC and any other appropriate stakeholders. 2. That EMBC and British Columbia Search and Rescue Association (BCSAR) develop universal standards for swift water rescue and recovery training to ensure consistent language and training applications. These universal standards would require all swift water training providers to conform to these prescribed standards. 3. That EMBC and BCSAR develop universal standards for swift water rescue and recovery equipment. 4. That an audit be conducted of all search and rescue communities by BCSAR pursuing civil action in the case. BC Search and Rescue Association president Don Bindon, who attended the inquest, said his members are “extremely grateful” for the jury’s work. “These nine recommendations give us an excellent road map. ... We’re going to do our very best to implement each and every one of them.” Bindon says they have not been waiting for the inquest to make changes — plans are already afoot to standardize swift water training. Although the jury

to ensure that each search and rescue community has the required equipment (including personal protective equipment) and training for their respective communities based on their unique areas. Where it is determined that there is a lack of the required equipment and/or training for that area, immediate consultation with BCSAR and EMBC must occur to determine steps to obtain the equipment and/ or training with the goal of safety of all search and rescue members in B.C. 5. That EMBC review and evaluate funding models to better support search and rescue operations, training and equipment similar to volunteer fire departments’ funding. 6. That swift water teams use only their own equipment during search and rescue operations whenever possible. If any unfamiliar equipment is introduced into a task, a proper risk assessment did not make any specific recommendations around vehicle recoveries, Bindon said they are looking at ways to reduce the hazards of such operations. The recommendations didn’t mention the use of video cameras in search exercises either — the tragic operation was caught on tape as part of filming for the reality TV show Callout: Search and Rescue, and the jury viewed the footage — but Bindon said he doesn’t think it was a factor. “Absolutely not. ... If I believed the video played a role, we would be mak-

must be completed. The appropriate tools for self-rescue and companion rescue must be immediately accessible. 7. That the volunteer policy and procedures manual, specifically the policy for “Utilization of volunteers for search and rescue activities policy”, be reviewed by EMBC to clarify and amend, where required, the roles and responsibilities of varying agencies involved in search and rescue activities. These groups include, but are not limited to search and rescue, policing agencies, coroner, Parks Canada, BC Ambulance and fire services. 8. That during an operation, a specific safety officer be designated whenever possible. This safety officer(s) position will be their sole function. 9. That EMBC with the assistance of the search and rescue stakeholders develop a standardized risk assessment tool for use in swift water operations.

Presiding coroner Matt Brown thanked the jury for a “difficult” six days and Sweatman’s family for their “will and determination and reminder of why we are here.” The non-binding recommendations are provided to the chief coroner and then distributed to the groups named. “In the spirit of the inquest, and Sheilah’s passing, we hope they are followed through,” Brown said.

Gertie Brown was cutting her husband’s hair when the phone rang with a call that could have bilked her out of hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars. “I picked up the phone and a voice said, ‘Hello, Grandma,’ ” Brown said. “ ‘I need help.’ ” When she asked the caller who he was, she got a coy reply. “Who do you think it is?” he asked. Brown guessed the name of her grandson, Chad, and the caller proceeded, claiming that he had been arrested in Vancouver for drinking and driving and needed money. Believing that her grandson was in Eastern Canada and not Vancouver, Brown became wary. “What’s your mother’s name?” she asked the caller, who disconnected the call shortly after. “It really bothers me that older people are targeted in these scams and I’d like to warn others to ask questions that only their real grandchildren (or other relative) would know the answer to,” Brown said. Phone scams can be reported directly to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, a national task force that involves the RCMP, at 1-888495-8501. The RCMP recommends the following cautions be taken with suspicious phone calls: •Do not believe that everyone calling

Pneumonia is defined as an inflammation of the lungs that is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. While there are nearly 100 different types of bacteria which can cause this type of infection, only a select few are responsible for the vast majority of cases of pneumonia in Canada. These bacteria (pneumococci) are commonly present in the throats of most people, but they can cause infections leading to pneumonia when the opportunity arises. While the most prevalent cases of bacterial pneumonia are treatable with antibiotics, they can also be prevented by immunization with pneumococcal vaccination (Pneumovax). This vaccine offers protection against 23 different strains of pneumonia-causing bacteria. In British Columbia, Pneumovax is available without a prescription, and is provided free of charge to all individuals aged 65 years and over, and to those younger than 65 with chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma. The vaccine is given by your doctor or pharmacist, as a single injection, with a one-time booster after 5 years for individuals with certain chronic health conditions. Please visit our pharmacy if you would like to know more about receiving this, or any other vaccine.

“I swear to God, if someone tells me right now there’s some miracle body cream out there that would make me feel 100 per cent and prevent me from getting hurt but that could also cause cancer or liver damage down the line, I’d use it in a heartbeat. I would.” Those words, near the end of an excellent article in last weekend’s New York Times, gave me a clearer understanding about why athletes cheat than anything else I’ve read. They came from the mouth of Pat Schiller, a college linebacker who is trying to make it in the National Football League. In the article about Schiller, written by his uncle, Charles Seibert, the reader gets an insightful look at the meat grinder that is professional sports, where there are hundreds or even thousands of aspirants who would sell their grandmothers for a shot at the big time.

Historian’s comments shock reader To the Editor: I was shocked and extremely upset with the comment of historian Paul Fusssell in the Nov. 8 Advance regarding the poem, In Flanders Fields. Remembrance Day is a time to show our appreciation of our freedom by honouring those who were killed and those who survived. It is not a time to quote a depraved historian who never went to war nor could comprehend what life was like in muddy trenches with bullets being fired night and day, and also the danger of chlorine gas. His comment about the third stanza of John McCrae’s poem as “vicious” and “stupid” reveals he was trying to lift up his own cowardice by bringing the hero down toward his own level. Written in 1915, in the early part of the war, it follows that if nobody took the torch and continued to fight the foe who did not want peace before 1918, then all would be lost and all the tens of thousands of dead soldiers died for nothing. Fussell gets a failure mark in poetry. Contrary to his idea, a poet has no set of arrangement and analysis that must be followed. His motive is to captivate and

encourage the mind and emotions and, in this poem, to continue the fight for peace and freedom. In Flanders Fields did it all in an excellent way, which only a poem can do. Fussell had the nerve to call the last lines “propaganda arguments against a negotiated peace.” He is completely in the dark. Ninety-nine per cent of the soldiers in war want the war to end and go back home to girlfriends, wives and children, and would welcome peace any day the enemy would stop its aggression. I apologize to the people who were and are in the Forces for our town paper’s quote from Fussell, who maligned a true hero. McCrae did not have to fight at the frontline at 41, but chose to be there and support the majority of soldiers who were enlisted at 19-21 years of age. John Jorgensen Creston

Time should be left alone To the Editor: (Re: “Creston must change time to avoid confusion”, Nov. 22 Advance, page 7) I respectfully disagree with Holly Pender-Love’s assertion that Creston should change to mountain time. It seems to me that, if there were to be any change, it would make more sense to

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 7

change to Pacific time. Our CBC Radio and television programming comes from the West Coast, which is why our noon news now happens at 1 p.m. and supper hour news moves to 7 p.m. and also why many popular TV shows now come on an hour later. I guess I am one of those retired people happy to leave the time alone. Marion Knapp Creston

Man, I just had a flashback of many years ago serving tepid, watery hot chocolate out of a coffee urn during a skating party — we shouldn’t have to go back there again. We are still in process as far as operation of the concession is concerned; we did have a request for proposals earlier that didn’t give us the result we were looking for; however, we have some innovative irons in the fire at present with the outcome clearly defined — quality healthy food and beverage availability for those that step up to the counter and the option for a treat or guilty pleasure. The intent and content of the RFP is to form a relationship with the concession/food service operator and work out the details of the concession operation (such as hours of operation, menu, service) that is beneficial for both parties and the public. It’s a work in progress and we are moving forward with this project keeping the public, user groups and complex interests equally in mind. If you get a chance, come down, check things out and watch for updates. Neil Ostafichuk is the recreation supervisor at the Creston and District Community Complex.

(Re: “Keep dollars in valley when making donations”, Nov. 22 Advance, page 7) A very dear friend of mine would be dead had it not been for the Stars air ambulance crew that raced her from Creston to a major health care center. I am sorry for those who don’t realize this is happening. I also remember a news story I read announcing Stars involvement with our airport. How quickly we forget the positives in life! Also, Stars has integrity. They would not purposely misrepresent their involvement. Check facts. Sandra Zgagnor at www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca

New floor, new concession kitchen for community complex

Remember when you changed the rug in your house or added hardwood floor and the different look and feel it made in the space? That is where we are with the new skate flooring in the arena lobby and boy, does it look great! Interestingly enough, as project manager Wendell Marshall pointed out, it makes the whole area look bigger as it tends to lower the ceiling and widen the space out and we are sure glad we continued the “swooped” pattern though this area, which provides tiein to the main lobby area and the curves in the ceramic tile flooring. With the addition of the black cove base around the edges, it looks pretty sharp — come check it out. The icing on the cake was that we had successfully applied for a grant from the Tire Stewardship of BC organization, which ends up with some of the tire levy money you pay when you purchase new skins for the Hummer, but which also provided us with about $17,000 towards the new floor. Also proceeding on schedule is the installation and hook-up of all the equipment in the concession. If you happened to be here a week or two ago, you might have seen the semi-trailer parked out front that hauled 26,000 pounds of stainless steel shelves, appliances, stoves and counters, amongst other food prep paraphernalia. It is pretty impressive to see mostly everything in place after going through three or four incarnations of design drawings with the kitchen consultant as we

Author chronicles decades of dieting in All My Sizes SUBMITTED A typical New Year’s Eve would find her buried in the binge to end all binges while planning the diet to end all diets. Still fat and frustrated despite having dieted for decades, she dreads the number on the scale as much as she hates herself for being there again. Her pre-diet stepping-onthe-scale ritual inevitably prompts the dreaded raging scream, “Out damned fat, out!” With pizza in one hand and pen in the other, she sets down to chart another fat-fated course to that magical land of eternal slender. Born and raised in the backwoods of B.C., Ruth Boehmer, who lives in Creston, received her diploma in nursing from Lethbridge Community College in 1976. She went on to complete a master’s degree in health promotion and a PhD in psychology. After launching her last of four children out into the world, she set her time and mind to writing, starting with a compilation of decades of journal entries recording the misery of losing and gaining weight over and over again.

Blossom singers offering annual Christmas show

BLOSSOM VALLEY SINGERS

Boehmer ’s four-decade struggle with weight and body image inspired the writing of her book, All My Sizes: Four Decades of Diet Hell. As a young woman, she began keeping a journal, finding four decades later that much of her life story centered on her obsession with dieting and weight problems. She has penned the miserygo-round of the modern woman in All My Sizes: Four Decades of Diet Hell. Intensely personal, Boehmer captures the heart, mind, and soul-war of the diet-binge cycle caught on paper in the hate of the moment.

Featuring journal entries from mid-adolescence to middle adulthood, All My Sizes is a firsthand account of the author's struggle with food, weight and body image. There is no resolution or how-to guide, only a cacophony of diet drama authentically capturing the battle every woman faces when she believes she's not “enough”. A book release will be held at 6:45 p.m. Nov. 30 at Creston’s College of the Rockies campus. All My Sizes is available at Black Bear Books. For more information, visit facebook.com/AllMy SizesFourDecadesofDietHell.

The Blossom Valley Singers mixed choir expects tickets to be a hot item for this year’s Christmas concert, their second season in the new venue at Prince Charles Theatre. The Singing Christmas Tree had to be retired last year when the United Church was no longer available, and some patrons were turned away at the door when last year’s Sunday afternoon performance was sold out. “It was disappointing to those who missed out, and we regret we had no seats for them,” said BVS president Elvin Strand. “We’re limited to two concerts because of the higher cost of the auditorium, but we hope the word gets out that people should buy advance tickets if they want to be guaranteed a seat.” This year’s concert is all about Christmas Magic, the sequel to Singing in the Christmas Trees. The choir of more than 60 voices, under the direction of Anita Stushnoff and accompaniment of Monte Anderson, will perform a variety of traditional, ethnic and contemporary carols. Some of the selections will be punctuated with brass, wind and bass

accompaniment. Also featured will be the Prince Charles Secondary School choir, the Creston Children’s Choir and the Key of She. The Blossom Valley Singers has brought choral music to the valley for more than 25 years. Proceeds from ticket sales after expenses are directed to the needs of the growing choir (which had to purchase more risers and back rails) and the community. Two scholarships are awarded annually for deserving students seeking further studies in music. Monies were also directed toward part of the cost of the electronic piano, which has been donated to the PCSS band room. The piano, a welcome addition to the resources available to the choir for rehearsals and performances, will be used in this year’s concert in lieu of the grand piano. “The grand would be lovely, but we have so many singers and extras, there’s just no room for everything on the stage,” said Stushnoff. The concert runs Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. and Dec. 9 at 2:30 p.m. Advance tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for under 14 years, available at Black Bear Books or from members of the choir. Tickets at the door are $14 for adults and $10 for under 14.
