Creston player chosen in WHL draft

Society’s tool library helps out small-scale farmers

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Goaltender Matt Armitage has become the first Creston player to be selected in the Western Hockey League draft. Armitage, 14, was chosen by the Spokane Chiefs in the fourth round of the draft held May 1. For the past year he has been attending Edge School for Athletes in Calgary, Alta., which offers education and athletics programs for many sports. His mother, Kim, and sister, Maya, moved to Calgary last year so Matt could accept a scholarship to attend Edge School. “I’ve basically been commuting for the last year,” said Matt’s father, Dave, a Columbia Brewery employee, who was also a goaltender and coach in the Creston Valley minor hockey program. “Matt was recruited by a few teams and his second year of bantam hockey was crucial for him to progress,” Dave said. “At 14, we decided he was too young to send away, so we moved our family to Calgary.” The proud dad says his son has had an exceptional year playing in a high level program. Matt had 23 wins and 13 losses in 2013-2014, putting up a 2.72 goalsagainst average and a 9.2 save percentage. He had five shutouts and was named the game’s most valuable player 11 times. See HOCKEY, page 5

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor The word “library” brings to mind shelves of books, magazines and perhaps movies, but the one run by the Kootenay Local Agriculture Society (KLAS) is a bit different — it offers the rental of small-scale farming tools to the region’s farmers. “People don’t know this scale of equipment exists,” said Nigel Francis, who is co-ordinating the Creston library for the non-profit KLAS. “You can’t borrow it from your neighbour.” Part of the library’s purpose is to support beginning farmers, like Francis, with tool caches in Creston, Kaslo, Castlegar and Nelson. The key item in the library is an Italianmade BCS 853 walking tractor, which has a 13-horsepower engine and two wheels. A variety of implements can be attached, including a tiller, rotary plow and flail mower, and the Creston Valley library also offers a power harrow and fruit press/dehydrator. For KLAS members, the cost is $50 per day for the tractor and one implement. See TOOL, page 5 Creston Valley farmer Nigel Francis demonstrates the use of a BCS 853 walking tractor. Brian Lawrence

Physician recruiter earns provincial award BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

The words read out when she was presented with a BC Community Achievement Award in Victoria on April 29 say it well: “The health of a community depends on many key elements, but primary is a stable physician base. Marilin States’ knowledge and expertise have made her the very successful physician recruiter for the Creston Valley. “As the Town of Creston mayor says, ‘Marilin has surpassed expectations in her creativity, adaptability and efficiency with limited resources to attract doctors to the area.’ Her success has been achieved through the relationships she has built locally and provincially. Marilin gives generously of her personal time to assist with the ongoing assimilation of new physicians and their families into the community. She is a great ambassador for the Creston Valley and her efforts have resulted in providing her community with stable medical care.” For her part, States said that she is still reeling over the honour. “To be in the midst of these people who have done so much for their communities was remarkable,” she said. “Each one is so inspiring. It’s wonderful what people do for their communities. It really does take a village — it takes the support of so many to accomplish what we do.” States was among 32 recipients named in 2014. Gray Creek businessman and historian Tom Lymberry also took the stage to accept a CAA certificate and medal.

From page 1 With his team he has travelled extensively. “They won a tournament in Phoenix just a while ago and they go to Boston next,” Dave said. “He’s already been to more places than I’ve ever been!” “This move has definitely been tough on my family,” Matt said. “I have missed my friends and made new friends.” His teammates include players from Dawson Creek, Whitehorse and even New Brunswick. “School is really hard.

high level and they understand what it’s like.” Perhaps the biggest change, he said, is in the level of competition. “Our school attracts elite players, the best from all over, so we are always competing against each other,” he said. “The travel can be pretty harsh, but the coaches are good at giving us time to rest.” His best experience to date was the tournament in Arizona. “It was really fun playing in a warm place. Minnesota was pretty cool. Actually, it was really cold!” His team won the Phoenix tournament and Matt was named the top goalie, a nice lead-in to last week’s draft. “When people asked me earlier in the year where I wanted to go in the WHL, I honestly said the Spokane

KLAS — through which the Kootenay Mountain Grown organic label is administered — started with a grant from the Columbia Basin Trust, and according to the KLAS website, the objectives are to support the sustainability of local agriculture and farms, and increase the availability and production of locally grown agricultural produce. The tractors require very little gas, and are the tool of choice for market gardeners such as Quebec’s Jean-Martin Fortier — who sells $140,000 of vegetables each year, grown on 1.5 acres using $230 of gas — and Eliot Coleman, author of Four Season Harvest. cbt.org/eg The size of the 1.800.505.8998 tools increases finan-

Matt will continue at Edge School next year, where he has received another scholarship. His sister has adapted well to the change in her life. “Maya is excited that she has so many opportunities,” Dave said. “She’s playing piano, in art classes and playing soccer, too. She is very supportive of her brother, which really makes it easier for Kim and I.” Matt said he hopes to be pulling on a Spokane Chiefs jersey in a few years, to play for a team that is in driving distance for Creston family and fans. “People in Creston have really supported me,” he said. “I’d love to be able to play junior hockey in front of them.”

She is a delivery room nurse who loves her work and is popular with colleagues. When we visited a month ago, I joked with her that she is either a very strong woman or in complete denial, having witnessed the most difficult of births in her years on the job. Angela and I are hardly unique in our thrill to be grandparents. But for me, I continue to be startled by the deep feelings even the idea of these little ones stir in me. A quick glance at any of the countless photos that populate my phone and computer is enough to leave me grinning like an idiot. And having watched our younger son, Ryan, being such a kind, gentle, patient and very involved father has been one of the great thrills of my life. The first photo of Evan was one I took myself on the morning after his birth in the Creston Valley Hospital. I held him in my left arm, his head supported by my hand, and snapped a picture with my right. The memories flood back at the thought, immediately connecting with an image on my cellphone. In it, the gentle hand of her father holds the swaddled Isla Elizabeth steady while he snaps a picture with his right hand. And my heart melts.

SD8 doesn’t understand mandate To the Editor: I was invited by concerned parents to attend the videoconference of the April 22 board meeting of the School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) trustees, to hopefully help stop the impending demise of Homelinks and other programs that run out of the Creston Education Centre (CEC). As Lorne Eckersley wrote in “Homelinks staying put for ’14-’15” (May 1 Advance, page 1), articulating what John Solly, organizer and principal of the original Homelinks, and spokesperson for the over 40 Creston participants at the board meeting, ALL are against what the board is doing in trying to make ANY changes, especial-

opiNioN LiNe

ly moves, to the present programs. Solly correctly gave representation and expressed throughout the meeting that the once wonderful partnership that existed between parents and the trustees is gone; the animosity in the room towards the present trustees (except Annette Hambler-Pruden) was evident, and they just don’t get it! Trustees, again except HamblerPruden, were painfully “trying” to look business-like in cost efficiencies, which was such a joke when it was evident to all that they could not even keep their motions and amendments — or was it a motion, they were so confused — straight, and just did not understand business, let alone their clear mandate to be trustees, as Hambler-Pruden made clear, of this area’s children’s educational needs. Business 101: It is way cheaper to keep your present customers happy than to try and attract new customers. One parent plainly verbalized that relocation changes would result in at least 40 students leaving the Homelinks program, costing the school district

$342,000 in funding. And I would like to add that that is just the start. Homelinks was started to get the superb, hardworking, caring home schooling families the added support to help them facilitate their children’s education. Moving and merging Homelinks into the present schools defeats the very purpose of this entity. As having been a home schooling parent for 15 years, and my daughter being in the first graduation class of Homelinks, if this present board’s attitude was around then, my children would never have been part of this. There are plenty of private schools crying out for the enrolment (and the funding that goes with it) of these home schooled children. The good news, thanks again much to the common sense of lone advocate Hambler-Pruden, things will stay as they are for the 2014-2015 school year. And, as someone mentioned on the way out the door, time enough to vote the present trustees out! Rhonda Barter Creston

Creativity wasteful, but worth it

Creativity is a huge waste of time and resources. The more ways I find to use it, the less efficient it becomes. Unfortunately, I have quite a lot of creativity, and it doesn’t take well to not being used. What makes it inefficient? I would say the supplies. In order to use creativity, you need something to work with, and you generally get what you pay for. Most art forms revolve around esthetics in some way; cost depends on appearances. You can cut corners if it doesn’t affect the look, or if you don’t care if it’s inferior. Sometimes, though, there’s nothing for it but that perfect what-have-you that costs an excessive number of dollars. That, or you end up with something that’s not perfect. Added to that is the time it takes to make art. It’s not instantaneous. It takes time. Usually a lot. Art in a matter of minutes is possible, but if it’s not what you do, it’s not what you do. Since my current, all-consuming project is a dance piece, I’m going to use it as an example. The first thing it needed was music. I was in a hurry, so that only took the above-mentioned few minutes to pick. The second requirement was choreography, and the only things for that were practice and somewhere to do it. If I skip eating lunch, I can use the high

school’s auditorium for about 50 minutes, for which I am immensely grateful. The main issue is that it’s the auditorium, meaning I can’t always have it. So far, I’ve put in about seven or eight

The precept, “Do only good,” asks us to benefit all of life. When we have taken this precept, we no longer address the practical question about how to live from the point of view of, “What do I want?” Instead, before speaking or acting, we consider, “What is good for everyone in this moment, in this situation?” When a Zen practitioner says “good”, it means “that which helps all beings”. Each person has to discover how compassion informs his or her life — the principles are the same for everyone, but the specifics depend upon each person’s circumstances and abilities. There are no hard and fast rules about what is good; every situation is different. But one thing is sure. No progress can be made with this precept unless one is willing to let go of selfish desires. Once we have done that, we can develop faith

in the purity of our essential being and trust ourselves to discern, through meditation, what is truly good. Once we recognize that we wish to do only good, we need to commit our-

The Teen

Take

Hailey Viers days of practice, and the dance is still not perfected. I don’t have to pay for lessons, since the dance style is my own. The last things are the ones that really cost money: costume, makeup and related items. I got the cheapest makeup I could find for about $50 or $60, all told. Some of it has 50 per cent off stickers. The costume was worse; $30 for a tank top, anyone? It didn’t come with enough sparkles, so I’ve had to add them to it, as well as to the second-hand skirt I’ve altered. Again, that takes time. The term “related items” refers to my preferred prop choice: a six-foot bamboo baton with fabric flags. (I normally use a 10-foot pole; the short one is new.) The perfect fabric cost $7 dollars a

flag, the tape covering the bamboo costs $4 per roll. The stick itself is a repurposed beanpole. So, how long is the dance? Less than three and a half minutes. Doesn’t sound worth it once you do the math, does it? If I was getting paid for it, I can’t imagine what I’d have to charge whoever hired me. All things considered, it makes one ask why I go through all that for a one-off. Why so much effort for a three-minute, single-showing performance? I think it can be summarized with this: I’m an artist. It’s what I do; good reasons are optional. And it isn’t really only three minutes. For me, the entire process — from song selection to walking off the stage — is part of the whole piece of art. It wouldn’t be as much fun if it was easy and instant. In the case of the audience, the idea is to give them something that sticks after the show, even just getting the music stuck in their head. Also, I think I do it for the people who ask me after, “Doesn’t that make you dizzy?” I haven’t a clue why not, but no, it doesn’t. And yes, it’s all totally worth it.

selves to that good. It is not enough to pay lip service to the idea of good — it must become the centre of our lives. Our commitment to doing only good helps us through the lifelong process of dropping old harmful habits. It takes a

lot of work to put aside harmful impulses as they arise. But if we let meditation centre us in our intention to do good, we can notice the impulse to do harm, and let it go before we act on it. The true guide to what is good is our intuitive sense of sympathy and compassion. We naturally know what is truly good if we are in touch with our deepest nature, and if we are committed to live by the goodness that is there. Desires and emotions are neither good nor bad; they are simply desires and emotions. There is no need to judge them. What matters is how we respond to them. If we wish to do only good, we train, through meditation, to recognize that there is a line between naturally occurring thoughts and emotions and following those thoughts and emotions.

Kitimat refinery benefits environment, economy BY DAVID BLACK

This is the second of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime. The Alberta oil industry’s Northern Gateway plan is to export bitumen to Asia via tankers from the B.C. coast. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea

could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years. My first column (“B.C. needs protection from environmental threat”, May 1 Advance, page 9) discussed the light oil spill by the Exxon Valdez and the terrible toll it took on the Alaskan habitat and fishery. It also gave proof that a bitumen spill would be far worse. A bitumen spill would be almost com-

FLOODING

Be prepared!

Flooding and other weather-‐related events are a common occurrence in the Kootenays from April through July. Provincial agencies and local volunteers may monitor streams a nd rivers throughout the freshet / flood season. Residents are responsible for having an emergency plan as well as the tools and items necessary to protect their homes and properties (such as sand bags). In potential life threatening circumstances, the Regional District of Central Kootenay, along with the support of Emergency Management BC (EMBC), may issue an Evacuation Alert or an Evacuation Order to residents living in a flood hazard area. In advance of freshet season, EMBC provides sand bags to the RDCK to protect local infrastructure (bridges, highways, water treatment plants, communications etc.) and to residents if the need becomes apparent.

pletely unrecoverable because it would sink and stay on the bottom of our seabed. The solution that is best for Canada is to build a refinery in Kitimat. I am promoting and backing this solution. It will convert the bitumen to very light fuels that would float and evaporate if ever spilled. There are other enormous benefits: •There will be a major reduction in greenhouse gases. We will use new cuttingedge Canadian technology in our refinery. It will be so clean that David Black in combination with oilsands extraction there will be less CO2 than in the huge conventional oilfields and refineries of Iraq and Nigeria. In other words, the Kitimat refinery will neutralize the extra greenhouse gases generated in Canada’s oilsands. This refinery will be built in Asia if not in Kitimat, and if so it will emit double the CO2 of our new design. This is the reason that Andrew Weaver of the BC Green Party is in favour of a Canadian refinery; Creston & District Community Resource Centre

•An Asian refinery will also generate 100 train cars a day of very dirty coke (much fouler than B.C. coal) which will be subsequently burnt into the atmosphere to create power. The Kitimat refinery will not result in the production of any coke. As we all live on one planet, it is far better for the global environment to build this refinery in Canada; •Construction of the refinery will create 6,000 jobs in B.C. for five years. Operations at the refinery will result in more permanent jobs than any project has ever created in B.C., with approximately 3,000 direct jobs. These will be highly paid permanent jobs. These jobs will be available for the life of the refinery, which should be in excess of 50 years. In addition, there will be thousands of other jobs created in spinoff local petrochemical companies and in indirect employment throughout the province; and •The Canadian and provincial governments, local regional districts and municipalities, and many First Nations, will share in billions of new tax dollars each year. Unfortunately, our Canadian oil companies are not interested in building a new major refinery. They are focused on extraction, which is more profitable than refining. One of them challenged me to spearhead the refinery myself, so I am doing that. We have a solid business plan and as a consequence Chinese banks and other institutions are prepared to lend us most of the funds required to build the greenest and most efficient refinery in the world. We are currently moving ahead with engineering design and environmental work. We will also build a safe pipeline from Alberta to the refinery, with the active participation of First Nations. Modern pipelines can be built and operated safely. Leak data is available for everyone to see on Canadian and U.S. government websites and it proves recently constructed pipelines are not leaking. Furthermore, some of the best pipelining companies in the world are based in Canada. In addition, we will build a fleet of new tankers, powered by liquid natural gas rather than Bunker C oil, to transport the refined products to Asia. This way, we know the tankers will be state-of-the-art and as safe as possible. The fleet will be owned by a company based in B.C. so it cannot shirk its legal liability if there ever is a spill at sea. Let me be upfront about my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers. If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so. The Canadian government makes a decision on Northern Gateway this month. David Black is the chair and founder of Black Press, the largest private newspaper publisher in Canada.

Doing good

From page 7 For example, I may become aware of someone who is doing harm and find that I am angry. To do only good is to sit within the anger without suppressing or indulging it by speaking or acting impulsively. I can then take this anger to my meditation and hold it up against my intention to do only good. Then, when the anger has calmed, I can think clearly about how to respond to this knowledge. When I have figured out a response that will not cause any further harm, I can act in a way that expresses my intention to do only good. Suggested practice: For the next two weeks, when an impulse to act or speak arises, ask yourself if your intended words or actions will do only good.
