Students preparing for annual powwow

$1.10 (includes GST)

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Students in the Aboriginal education program at Creston Valley schools have been particularly busy lately, putting the finishing touches on their regalia for the School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) youth powwow, which runs tomorrow at the Creston and District Community Complex. The fourth annual festival is moving there from the Prince Charles Secondary School (PCSS) gym, where it has been held for the last three years, a location it has outgrown. “We joke about it at times, because we were going to do it for the one time, but it didn't turn out that way,” said Jackie Mynott, the PCSS aboriginal education youth worker. “It is a very important part of our Aboriginal culture, so it is very important to us and others to keep this part going.” About two dozen Adam Robertson Elementary School (ARES) students are working on their regalia, which, depending on their grade, consists of shawls, yokes and chokers for the girls, and shirts and drops for the boys. Fewer are working on regalia at the smaller Erickson (EES) and CanyonLister (CLES) elementary schools, but the action is no less frenzied, as students sew, cut and iron pieces of their projects. See POWWOW, page 20

SMALL FRY — About 1,500 10-month-old white sturgeon were released into the Kootenay River on May 6 during an annual event

hosted by the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (a partnership between the province of B.C., BC Hydro, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada). The release has been going on since 1999, with a goal of helping to repopulate the endangered species. More photos at www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca/ourtown.

He rolled into Creston May 5 on his unicycle to promote the need for action on climate change. “The need for drastic action to address climate change is beyond urgent,” he says. “The crisis is clear. Without substantial efforts to curb carbon emissions, the average surface temperature is likely to rise by more than four degrees [Celsius] within the century, triggering far more colossal, fatal and frequent hurricanes, heat waves, ice storms, floods, famines and typhoons than those that have already rocked the world with unprecedented violence in the past two decades.” More information about Boutilier and his 5,000-kilometre journey can be found at www.unityforthe climate.ca. •••

This year, Wine Art includes the live and silent auction of art “heads” instead of just an art show. Sixteen artists have created some fabulously cool heads that should have everyone in town buying tickets so they can get first dibs on them. The heads encompass a large range of artists and styles from ceramics to mixed media, and so much in between. Imaginations have definitely run wild! The head show had its first appearance during Arts and Culture Week at the Ingham Arts and Culture Centre, and it is now on display at different venues around town. Paintings by Carol Schloss and Eileen Hirota will also be on display as an added feast for the eyes. Tickets are $45, available from Black Bear Books, Kingfisher Used Books, Ron Toyota or and Creston Valley Rotary Club member.

She has a very sharp eye.” That editor, he said, questioned Rose on the use of lengthy quotes from The TellTale Heart, but research revealed the work is now in public domain, so legal issues aren’t a concern. Born in Missouri, Rose studied English at the University of South Carolina before doing a stint in the U.S. army. He then returned to his post-secondary studies, earning a degree in science and education. He became a high school teacher and spent years teaching in the Seattle area. Later, he emigrated to Canada and spent eight years teaching in the central-north area of B.C. In his fiction, he draws from personal experiences and familiar geography, inventing as he goes along. “Believability. That was my biggest burden in writing both books,” he laughed. “For example, I have never seen a ghost, which kind of inhibited me.” But he knows people who claim to have seen ghosts, and drew from their experiences. Similarly, Rose has panned for gold, just as his protagonist in Uncommon Gold does. “But I never found a motherlode, though!” In Uncommon Gold, Rose has produced an entertaining and literate tale that will appeal to teens and adults.

Lee Rose can tell a story. Known throughout the Creston Valley for his poetry readings, the retired high school teacher has published his second novel, Uncommon Gold. In Uncommon Gold, Rose (he writes as Richard L. Rose), 81, relates a tale of a high school drama student who suffers an identity crisis after performing Edgar Allen Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart at a provincial competition. Afterward, he sets out on a camping trip to Grim Creek Canyon, where he discovers gold and a ghost. As the story unfolds, Martin Schaffer learns much about himself and finds a girlfriend, too. “When I was teaching in Houston (B.C.) there was a topnotch drama student who came back from a drama competition in Vancouver — just like in the book,” Rose said on Monday. “He said to me, ‘Mr. Rose, I’m scared that I might not be who I thought was.’ “I gave him some reassurance.” The young man grew into a well-adjusted adult. “He turned out OK,” Rose said. But the story left an impression. Before he retired from teaching he started writing a novel based on the story, but eventually set it aside. When he and his wife retired to Yahk, Rose became immersed in community activities and writing poetry. After publishing his first novel, Flame and Feather, in 2010, which sold well locally,

From page 1 “This facility and its operations represent the commitment by our taxpayers to have a first-class long-term facility for all ages throughout our valley,” said John Kettle, RDCK chair and Area B director. “This recreation and fitness complex is second to none in the Kootenays and I want to congratulate our staff and operations folks for their efforts resulting in this award.” That sentiment was echoed by Larry Binks, Area C director and Creston Valley Services Committee chair. “The success of the recreation centre is largely due to staff,” he said. “Patrons enter and are immediately welcomed by a friendly face.” Binks pointed out that the complex has also become an attractive venue for events such as the recent Association of Kootenay-Boundary Local Governments conference, the upcoming Cattlemen’s Association of BC meeting and numerous hockey tournaments.

They are from the New Denver area, although Kyle grew up in Gibsons. Police say the youths began their canoe trip shortly after 5 p.m. Saturday. A man who was walking along a trail, near the beach, spotted the partially submerged canoe with

one person holding onto each end. The man ran to a nearby home and called police. The canoe was approximately 150 meters from shore. Slocan Lake Search and Rescue, with assistance of the BC Ambulance Service and fire department were immediately dispatched to the scene. The responders located an unconscious young woman inside the canoe, however, could not locate the other two people. None of the people were wearing life jackets and police cannot confirm if there were any in the canoe at the time.

ern equivalent of a common feature of libraries of the not so distant past — the card catalogue. The card catalogue didn’t contain much information, but it directed you to where you could find it. In its finding, the court ruled that people could request removal of data related to them that seems to be “inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive in relation to the purposes for which they were processed.” So far, so good. But the court also acknowledged that search engines are “searching automatically, constantly and systematically for information” that they collect, organize and disclose to Internet users. That is an important consideration, because the court also turned down the lawsuit’s request to have the original newspaper report that turns up in the Google search expunged. Why? Because the information was correct when it was printed. And of course the court had to rule in that way, because that part of the request is tantamount to asking for permission to change history. It is something we all might like to do at one time or another, but it’s mostly silly to even think of as being possible. So this court has said that the producer of the modern card catalogue must now remove cards at the request of any of the six billion or so makers of personal history on the planet. Good luck with that. Lorne Eckersley is the publisher of the Creston Valley Advance.

Farmers need help, not Bill 24 To the Editor: (Open letter to B.C. Premier Christy Clark) Yes, farmers need help. B.C. farmers are struggling to earn enough income from selling their products and they are burning out. That old joke that says, “Did you hear about poor Tom? His father died and left him the farm,” is never more true. So, on that note, I commend the B.C. provincial government for wanting to step in under the umbrella of due diligence and lend a hand. But Bill 24? This isn’t it. Provincial taxpayers have for years subsidized our farmers by picking up the tab for farmers who bought land in the Agricultural Land Reserve at a reduced cost, paid fewer taxes due to residential and commercial taxpayers making up the difference, and earning income in whole or in part on land where that was permitted. While 90 per cent of applications for withdrawal from Agricultural Land Reserve were made by developers seeking to create residential developments for supposed homebuyers who were now going to get their food from a reduced arena, the Agricultural Land Commission in many cases denied applications knowing their mandate was steadfast. Now we have a proposal through Bill 24 to increase bureaucracy with panels, which, according to the act, have “all the powers, duties and functions of the commission in relation to an application or other matter referred to it, and a decision of a panel is for all purposes a decision of the commission.” Now we have a proposal through Bill 24 to provide supposed opportunities to farmers to augment their farm-

ing income with other business ventures that may or may not be agricultural, thus sidestepping the original intent of the ALR. As a taxpayer, I have reviewed the Water Sustainability Act and I took part in its upgraded inception through the many opportunities offered to me. As a member of the advisory planning commission for my area, I engaged in detailed scrutiny of my area’s official community plan and helped to enact changes at the grass roots level that would make our local planning more effective. My time, as well as my tax dollars, participated in these processes. So, my question is as follows: Why is the Minister of Energy and Mines, through a core review that has not sought adequate input from the general public or from farmers themselves, being allowed, through the introduction of Bill 24, to redesign the structure of the ALC and the ALR? My suspicion is that it is to deny independence to this body and to degrade its effectiveness. My suspicion is that it is to provide avenues of approach for resource extraction on farmland. My suspicion is that it is not to enhance farmers’ efficacy or income, but to make Tom glad he inherited the farm by chopping up farmland in an unprecedented opportunity to make fast profit and the aforementioned subsidizing taxpayers can now pay more for their food because it will be grown on less farmland and on land that will cost so much more, which only large conglomerates will be able to afford farming. We are slowly killing off our farmers. They need more help, not annihilation. Let’s interface with all taxpayers as was done for the review of the Water Sustainability Act and find the best ways to help them to be farmers, but successful and profitable farmers. Then, and only then, if it is apparent that some or none of the ideas in Bill 24 are good ones, we can all move forward as members of one zone with a

Solution is to shut down oilsands To the Editor: It was with interest that I read Mr. David Black’s columns (May 1 and 8). The majority owner of the largest private newspaper in Canada shares his concerns over what he calls “the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime.” I do not agree with him on his solution to ship bitumen from Alberta’s oilsands to Kitimat by pipeline, refine it to gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, and ship it by tanker fleets to Asia. While a tanker oil spill would be an environmental disaster, as we know from the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska in 1989, a pipeline rupture spilling bitumen into our lakes, rivers or forests would no less be the cause of environmental destruction. Enbridge, the company proposing the Northern Gateway pipeline, does not have a good record in pipeline safety. I have spent most of my working life in all phases of welded steel pipe production, quality control, material selection and investigation of pipeline blow-ups. I do believe that even with all the latest scientific and technical advances, accidents will happen. The real solution is to shut down the oilsands, and no pipeline and tanker traffic will be needed. Yes, Mr. Black, the greatest threat to B.C. and to all life on our precious planet is the climate change that is now upon us. The development of the oilsands is only one of the many very large contributing factors to this human-created climate disaster. See TIME, page 8

The Voice of

Experience Mary Underhill require supplementation. The frequently heard comment, “You don’t need supplements, you get all you need from food,” is all well and good, but as I see it, less food means less nutrition. Eating healthy foods may not be enough. Often, drugs are included in the overall management of our health, and drugs can affect appetite and the way we use nutrients in the food we eat. It’s a choice that the individual needs to make. Drugs are often taken for pain, but may cause some nasty side effects. Take a look at the alternatives in natural heal-

ing — herbal tinctures can at times be just as effective. We have two excellent health food stores in Creston, as well as Tilia Botanicals, which will soon be open for business. Sometimes, milder drugs can be used together with more natural options. Your choice! But check with both the pharmacist and the natural healing practitioner to make sure of compatability. We tend to “slow down” and quit exercising. Gardening becomes too big a chore, and it’s much easier to sit down with a good book or watch TV. Leg exercises can be done by sitting down, as can those for the neck and arms. Easy yoga, Tai Chi aimed at seniors (try the program at the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors) or any other type of exercise will help keep the body muscles in better tone so they don’t hurt so much! One of the less pleasant effects of aging is bladder leakage. Embarrassed? Well, look around and see other people with grey hair and consider that many of them are in the same boat. So we have to resort to some pads. So what! Check out the pharmacies and grocery stores — you may be amazed at the selection. And the number of others who are buying light or heavy protection. (I speak from personal experience.)

Memory. There are days when we are not sure where it went! Again, know that the rest of us “elderly” people have trouble with recalling what is in our memory banks. Embarrassment, frustration or anger don’t help one little bit. In fact, those negative reactions to forgetting just make the situation worse. Try to accept the fact that it really doesn't matter if we have to take more time for recall. And if the memory still doesn't surface, oh well! We can choose to get upset or simply accept it. Negative attitudes always lead to unhappiness with ourselves and with others. Positivity is truly the answer, even when we don’t really feel like being positive. I’ve often been told that I don’t look 81 years old or that I don’t dress for my age or that I don’t act like an 81-year-old. Why must I look or act older than I feel? I wear the clothes that are comfortable for me. I am fortunate to have inherited genes that make me look younger than my years. And everyone knows I have attitude. That’s what it all comes down to: choices and attitude. Accept what is happening, and keep living to the very end. Let’s not be sissies! Mary Underhill is a stress therapist and grief counsellor. The Voice of Experience is a column co-ordinated by the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors.

Choices and attitude affect aging “Old age is not for sissies,” said Art Linkletter, and I agree! However, I also agree with him that we have choices — lots of them! For instance, one of the major issues that we face is nutrition. We don’t eat as much as we used to, so we may

From page 7 Our Creator has provided unlimited energy in sun, wind and geothermal heat, and given us the brains to use it. I firmly believe that we can solve this crisis, we do have all the tools we need. The time for change is now.

Life is just a bowl of cherries at Cherrybrook

resh cherries, fresh cherry juice, dried cherries, chocolate covered cherries — based simply on the name, it’s no surprise that those are available at Cherrybrook Farms. But the Erickson fruit stand and Story and shop they opened in 2011 offers much more, photo by with other fresh fruit (in Brian of course), saltLawrence season, water taffy, Dutch imports and looseleaf tea available. But it all started out with only cherries, when Gordon and Caroline Martin moved to Erickson Road from the Coast in 1996. “We bought bare land and planted cherry trees,” said Caroline. They eventually added apples, pears, peaches and plums in their farm’s original location. That was where they came up with one of the most unique aspects of their farm, cherry tree memberships. The program has been running since 2007, with people able to have their own cherry tree, one that is looked after by Cherrybrook Farms — the members just have to show up for the harvest. And it’s proven to be a hit with customers. One girl, whose grandmother buys her a membership for her birthday each year, is always excited to pick her cherries and share them with her friends. “She says it’s the best present she’s ever had,” said Caroline. And for Gordon, nothing is better than seeing families with children harvesting their tree, and “watching kids with juice all over their face and clothes, and they don’t even care.” The cherry tree memberships weren’t the only unique offering at their previous location. Gordon and Caroline also began offering hydroponically-grown lettuce. The butter lettuce was used by three restaurants, including A Break in Time Caffé, and sold at Overwaitea Foods, as well as at the farm and the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market.

Caroline and Gordon Martin at Cherrybrook Farms, located at 2931 Highway 3 in Erickson.

It was around that time that they started to realize traffic on Erickson Road wasn’t enough to maintain their sales. “We were selling more at the farmers’ market than our own place,” said Gordon. That led them to buy the former Chocolate Orchard at 2931 Highway 3 in Erickson, dropping the lettuce, but keeping the cherries and membership program, now offering more easily accessible trees and washrooms. The previous location stayed in the family, though, and is now being worked by their son, Peter. “I’ve always wanted that,” said Gordon. Farming is, after all, in his blood. He started farming as child in Brandon, Man., and that part of his past stuck with him — the family farm was called Brookwood, and that name combined with their biggest crop became Cherrybrook. The new location allowed them to expand beyond fruit, and the shop now offers Creston Valley Jam Company jam — made by Caroline and Tammy Hardwick — and 50 flavours of saltwater taffy. “People come in and say, ‘We need a bag for the road,’ ” said Gordon.

As well as a few dozen varieties of looseleaf teas, the store is the only Dutch import shop in the Kootenays, with customers often saying they turned around after driving by and seeing the Touch of Dutch sign. “I wanted the candies my mom and dad had in the car all the time,” said Caroline. “Now it’s grown to 50 different kinds of licorice.” That part of the shop is a reflection of her Dutch heritage, and her father’s favourite hobby, model railroading, is part of the farm, too. A railroad he created is housed in a building made just for it out back, and visitors can easily spot a larger-scale railroad running alongside the back deck, a perfect entertainment while sipping coffee or tea. While they now grow apples, peaches, raspberries and strawberries, cherries are still the main focus. When fresh cherries aren’t available, customers can buy them dried or pitted and frozen, or as preservative-free, unpasteurized frozen juice. “It tastes like eating a cherry,” Caroline said. Aside from the flavour, the juice also has

health benefits — “Because of their dark pigment, they are one of the superfruits,” she said — although customers will often ask specifically about tart cherry juice. “People think that only tart juice has health benefits,” said Caroline. That misconception, she said, comes from the fact that studies have been done on tart cherries simply because nobody used them for anything else. The dried cherries are also very popular, with people sending packages all over the world, a great treat for the recipients, who are getting more than it seems — it takes up to 10 pounds of fresh cherries to make one pound dried. It takes a lot of work to keep up with the demand, but with years of farming in his veins, Gordon is happy to look after that side of things while Caroline keeps busy in the store. “I like watching the fruit and things go through the stages and appreciate when it gets harvested,” he said. And, of course, he gets to drive the tractor. “I put on my headphones and go into my own little world,” he said.

MS Society raises flag at town hall

Thursday, May 15, 2014 Creston Valley Advance

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS SOCIETY OF CANADA

Thousands of Canadians navigate their daily lives with multiple sclerosis, a disease that can cause vision impairment, loss of balance, extreme fatigue and paralysis. This month, people with MS and the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada are launching Action on MS, a campaign calling for systemic changes in support of those living with MS. “Every day, MS impacts the lives of loved ones and members of the community, in addition to Canadians who have MS themselves,” said Debbie Irwin, community services co-ordinator for the MS society. “The Action on MS campaign gives Canadians the opportunity to call on federal and provincial governments to improve supports for caregivers through the development of a national caregiver action plan.” The MS society is seeing the physical, emotional and financial impact on caregivers and family members of people living with disabilities and chronic illnesses, including people living with MS. “Supports for caregivers are few and far between,” said Ken Chubb of the Creston MS self-help group. “Many caregivers suffer burnout.” The Town of Creston has proclaimed May as MS Awareness Month, and

raised the flag on May 6. Creston residents are invited to take part in the provincewide and nationwide efforts to end MS by: •sending a message to members of Parliament calling for systemic changes in support of caregivers by going to www. actiononms.ca or www.1dayinmay.ca; •contacting the local MS self-help

group to find out how to get involved in the community; and •seeking out information to develop a better understanding of the issues affecting people with MS and their families. MS is a chronic, often disabling, disease of the brain and spinal cord. It is the most common neurological disease of young adults in Canada, affecting an estimated

100,000 people. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40, and the unpredictable effects of MS last for the rest of their lives. The MS society provides services to people with MS and their families and funds to find the cause and cure for this disease. Visit mssociety.ca or call 1-800-268-7582 to make a donation or for more information.
