Hepher named citizen of the year

$1.10 (includes GST)

Town may restrict public smoking BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

After a lifetime of public service — from the Army to journalism to volunteering with charities and non-profits — Peter Hepher was named the 2014 citizen of the year at Friday’s Creston Valley Blossom Festival opening ceremonies. “I didn’t think I was deserving of it,” he said on Monday. “I’m very honoured. There are a lot of other people more deserving.” At the age of 93, Hepher is still going strong, and is currently involved with several community organizations: •the Creston-Kootenay Foundation, of which he is a founding member, and currently chairs the marketing/communications and environment committees, as well as writing articles and press releases; •the Creston Valley Community Housing Society, of which he was a founding member in 2008, and is still an active board member; •the Creston Rotary Club, participating in fundraising and community projects; •the Creston Valley Community Network; and •the United Church of Canada, serving in many capacities in volunteer and community building efforts.

IT’S MAGIC — Just over 100 preschool-aged children and their parents took

part in Magic School Bus on May 14, an annual event that offers orientation in preparation for entering kindergarten. They were picked up by school buses and taken to Family Place, the Creston Valley Public Library and the Creston and District Community Complex, where kids enjoyed crafts, stories, snacks and treats while parents received information on early childhood services.

Creston cigarette smokers could face further restrictions if Creston town council’s response to a Kootenay Smoke Free Coalition presentation at the May 13 regular meeting is any indication. A delegation, including representatives from the BC Cancer Agency, Canadian Cancer Society and Interior Health gave council an overview of health, environmental and economic impacts of secondhand smoke. Support for bylaws banning smoking in some outdoor locations is growing across Canada, they said. About 30 B.C. municipalities have bylaws in place, with others considering similar action. Bylaws typically include municipalitymanaged properties like trails, plazas, parks, beaches and recreation facilities, and bar and restaurant patios. They include an exemption for traditional tobacco ceremonies. Coun. Judy Gadicke said her concern was answered when Interior Health’s Trish Hill said education, not policing, is the prime goal. “We have heard from smokers who have said that the bylaw has helped them to reduce consumption,” she said. “Most smokers do not want to see younger generations taking up the habit.” See SMOKING, page 3

Out with the old, in with the new. That’s the plan of the Erickson Elementary School (EES) parent advisory council (PAC), which has embarked on a mission to raise funds for a new primary playground. The current playground, which passersby rarely see because it’s around back, is too tall for young children and the decaying structure is giving

them splinters. “Ours is still one of the old log playgrounds,” said PAC president Sabrina Damery, who often takes her three children to play on the Adam Robertson Elementary School playground. “It wasn’t built for the ages using it.” The proposed new playground will be like others installed at local schools, made of metal and plastic — but it comes at a cost of about $40,000.

Creston RCMP report quiet long weekend BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

“It was a very quiet and pleasant weekend,” Creston RCMP Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said on Tuesday. “Blossom Festival caused us no problems, perhaps because our officers had high visibility.” Among the beneficiaries of that high visibility was the Lower Kootenay Band’s Yaqan Nukiy Powwow, where patrolling Const. Morgan Littlejohn was lured into participating in the men’s shawl dance. He won, and promptly donated his winnings to the visiting drum group that played while he danced. Police Beat Creston RCMP responded to 57 calls from May 12-18, Gollan said.

Hepher

From page 1 Hepher is also a regular contributor to the local press, through letters to the editor and by taking a regular turn writing The Voice of Experience column co-ordinated by the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors. Serving others is nothing new to Hepher, who was born Christmas Day 1920 in Boswell. Despite a cleft palate (which childhood surgery in Spokane, Wash., only partially repaired) and reduced vision in one eye from a childhood accident, he volunteered for the Canadian Army during the Second World War. “A story is told that he memorized the letters on the standard eye chart so that he could pass his Army physical examination,” said Creston Valley Rotary Club president Tim Park when introducing Hepher to Friday’s audience, reading from the selection committee’s notes (details of which are included in this story). Hepher ended up serving in a non-combatant role in England, where he achieved the rank of sergeant. He brought a war bride, Mary, back to Canada; their first son, Ian, was born in 1947, and they adopted a second, Paul, a few years later. After the Army, Hepher continued his education, earning a degree from the University of British Columbia and a journalism degree from Ottawa’s Carleton University. For four years, he worked as an editorial writer for the StarPhoenix in Saskatoon, and then worked at the Lethbridge Herald from 1953-1959. From 1959 through the mid1980s, Hepher was an editorial writer and, later, chief editorial writer for the Calgary Albertan and Calgary Herald. He easily earned the respect of his colleagues, including Mary Ann Morel, who worked with him at the Albertan. “Peter is one of the Earth’s treasures, like a UNESCO heritage site, and someone that everyone at the Albertan knew and respected,” she said. “Peter ’s and my

hassle. Many of us can walk a block or two and be in the trees or on a mountainside, breathing fresh air and listening to the calls of birds. A short drive is all it takes to find a huge variety of experiences. Even better, when we do make our excursions to cities, where we find family and a great variety of culture, we tolerate traffic and chaos because we know we are only visitors. Heck, getting caught up in rush hour traffic on Deerfoot Trail even affords us the opportunity to feel smug in the knowledge that we don’t have to buck the grind on a day in, day out soul-sucking routine, with only the dream of a fourhour drive to Koocanusa on Friday afternoon to sustain us. Friends in Vancouver used to joke that Angela and I did more fun things in a week in the city than they did all year. That’s the great rural secret — we can escape to a city and ratchet up our energy level in a heartbeat, moving at full throttle for several days, knowing that we will soon return to our normal lives, slow down and reenergize. For city folk, I don’t think it works quite the same way. It takes much longer to shed the pace of urban life and slow down long enough to smell the rural equivalent of roses. I hope, for the sake of the drivers caught in the long, tedious line of traffic west of Fernie on Monday, that it was an anomaly caused by the mudslides on Highway 1. I wouldn’t wish for that drive to become a routine on anyone. Lorne Eckersley is the publisher of the Creston Valley Advance.

Seek to do good for others

The precept, “Do good for others,” is associated with a sincere intention to help all beings. Buddhists call this intention the “bodhisattva vow”. A bodhisattva is someone who seeks, in all circumstances, to do good for others. Throughout his life, the historical Buddha, Shakyamuni, was primarily concerned with what was the most helpful teaching for whomever he was facing at that time. Each day — moment by moment — we are presented with opportunities to show unconditional love and compassion. Often a sincere intention to act compassionately will help free others from a life of sadness, depression and doubt. To meet someone who can help without criticism, can love without judgement and can give without regret is a rare event. To live by the precept, to do good for others, is to live a life of selflessness. It is to be constantly thinking about how our actions, thoughts, words and emotions make this world a more loving and compassionate place for everyone. I know that sounds like a big job for just one person, but all change for the better begins with just one person acting with wisdom and compassion in this very moment.

I am reminded of a story about a woman who, while shopping, noticed how many products are packaged in plastic. She had learned in an educational TV program how harmful plastic is for the environ-

ment, and how much plastic sits in our landfills and oceans, and how long it takes to decompose: over one million years! She also learned how long it takes to decompose a paper bag: one week. She wondered, “Why do they have to wrap everything in plastic?” So she undertook a campaign to get stores to stop using plastic bags, and as we all know, it has helped. She didn’t change everyone’s behavior, but if you look around at Overwaitea Foods or Extra Foods, many customers now use recyclable grocery bags. This change has happened because one woman, one blossoming bodhisatt-

va, decided to look out for the good of all concerned. She became the change that she wanted to effect. What good is a really big love if it never gets applied in the world? This woman had a really big love for our planet and she applied it skillfully! In so doing, she met and expressed her bodhisattva self! As each of us meets our own compassion we will be able to greet the world by doing good for everyone. As I have often said, the cornerstones of Buddhist practice are generosity and compassion. I prefer the term altruism. To see how altruism acts as powerful a force for positive change all we have to do is look at how volunteers at the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors, at Gleaners or at the Therapeutic Riding Program have been good for others. Two suggested practices: 1) Resolve to begin each day with the intention of doing good for others. 2) If you think a project is too large to fix, remember the woman who took on plastic.

Magnifying glass in sun starts fire To the Editor: After what happened this morning, I thought I’d write with a warning so what happened here today may not happen to someone else. PipSqueek, our 15-year-old chihuahua, isn’t doing well, so lately I’ve been sleeping with her in the La-Z-Boy chair in the family room to keep a close eye on her. At about 8:15 a.m., the sun was beaming in and I was getting too warm, so I was starting to wake up. Then I smelled smoke! The Miller Hatcheries book was on fire on my desk. By the time I got to it, it was in flames. I grabbed it and ran outside to stomp it out. When I

OpiniOn Line

got back a matter of seconds later, the next piece of paper was on fire. I have a magnifying glass in my pencil holder that’s been there for several years. The sun hit it just right and started to burn the paper on the desk, about two feet from my head on the chair. Now the magnifying glass is in the drawer. The smoke detector just had a new battery put in, but it didn’t have a chance to go off. Had I been sleeping in the bedroom, way at the other end of the house, I would not have known about the fire until it would have done a lot of damage, or even worse — there are still animals in this room. Rick was outside the whole time and wouldn’t have noticed, either. I’m a sound sleeper and normally wake after 8:15. This could have easily turned into a disaster, so I thought about how many people have a magnifying glass on their desk and how many people have a window in their office. Lana Horan Lister

According to Daniel 7:28, Daniel was greatly troubled by his vision. The only part of the vision not explained was the time aspect, which was made clear when he was given another vision a few years later.

Patients need help finding docs

To the Editor: (Re: “Physician recruiter earns provincial award”, May 8 Advance) I am very pleased with Marilin States’s award, but what does one do when all of a sudden you have no doctor to go to? Could someone please find a recruiter to place people with doctors? One four-hour session and another three hours at emergency is enough for me. So what does one do? I know I am not the only one.

symbols and then an explanation. Daniel saw a two-horned ram that pushed westward, northward and southward and no “beast” (a beast in Bible prophecy represents a political power) could stand against it. Then he saw a male goat with “a notable horn between his eyes” coming from the west. (A horn in biblical prophecy represents a ruler.) The ram challenged the goat with disastrous results. It was OOD TaKes On ViL destroyed. By Pastor Ian Cotton The goat dominated the area. Soon, this notable horn was broken and four horns Creston grew in its place, but then another little horn grew and Seventh-day “grew exceedingly great.” Adventist This little horn challenged Church heaven itself, the “Prince of the host,” God’s sanctuary (or temChapter 8 contains the central pro- ple) and its sacrifices. And, said Daniel, phetic vision of the book of Daniel. As in this little horn “cast truth down to the Chapter 7, Daniel receives a vision that ground.” features more animals, but this vision The prophetic drama ended with a comes in two parts: first the action in conversation. A “holy one” asked how

long the little horn’s battle against heaven was to continue and the answer is given in Daniel 8:14: “For two thousand three hundred years and then the sanctuary will be cleansed.” This is the central part of the vision. While Daniel was trying to work out what the vision meant he heard someone commission Gabriel to “make this man to understand the vision.” Gabriel began his explanation by telling Daniel the time this vision was concerned the “time of the end” and the “latter time of indignation.” And then he identified the players in the drama and he could not have been more specific! We will see that in my next column. Daniel 8 is the last symbolic vision of Daniel and contains the longest time prophecy of the Bible. The following chapters explain and expand on this vision. This chapter gives more details about the rise and fall of nations. It tells us more about this little horn kingdom and explains the purpose of the Jewish sanctuary. Ian Cotton is the retired pastor of the Creston Seventh-day Adventist Church.

No matter how you do it, by foot, by bike or by car, it is up one side and down the other, by road or through the bush. The road route, over this height of land, however, probably gives a better feel for the idea of “divide” than the spot where the water runs either way, depending on

section. I first became aware of it when a former resident of Foster Road pointed out the window and said, “It was right over there.” In the late 1940s and early 1950s they used to drive cattle over that portion of the Dewdney Trail, somewhat widened then, between Yahk and Wynndel, to and from grazing lands and from the trains out of Lethbridge. In the choice and construction of any travel route, be it early trails or later roads, the easiest routes were followed, so we have trails, highways and railroads following the same valleys and slopes, the later highways largely obliterating previous routes. For the most part, the Dewdney Trail routing, where possible, tended to be on the south facing slopes where the snow would melt earlier, permitting earlier travel. Excepting the portion of the Dewdney Trail that passed easterly, where the road is now over the little great divide, the trail went generally along the north side of the LakeviewArrow Creek Road until the land flattens out. At the first left-hand turn proceeding west on Lakeview-Arrow Creek Road from Highway 3, the Dewdney Trail descended to a crossing of Arrow Creek and ascended over now private land through what is now East Arrow Creek. Biking west by road from Highway 3, involves a very gradual climb up to the divide, always making a left turn at major intersections. See DIVIDE, page 8

from the Creston-to-Wynndel highway to the highway going to Kitchener. Here, instead of a Selkirk loop, one can experience a mini Purcell loop leaving Creston from the east or the north and, after passing through the Lakeview and West Arrow Creek communities, returning the other way. The route, roughly 28 kilometres from start to finish, passing through different landscapes, makes a nice loop, by bike or car or even by foot. I know of one party who did part of the loop on foot, except by following the power line and gas pipeline rightof-way around the backside of Ed McMackin Arrow Mountain (a.k.a. Goat Mountain).

Divide

From page 7 Travelling in the other direction, east, to stay on the main route one always turns right to get to Highway 3. Travelling the loop clockwise from north of Creston on Highway 3A, an extra breath or two will be required to get around those switchbacks up the Lakeview “hill”. When first doing it I found it easier when, as passing by, I took in the scenery rather than thinking about how far it was. After taking the first right of the main drag, the route flattens out and with one last little ascent reaches the divide where the Dewdney went over the rock instead of cutting through. The elevation gain from Highway 3A is in the ballpark of 400-500 feet. From there it is all downhill. But don’t be quite so quick. If you are walking or biking (not by car) stop in this rock cut and turn around and take in the view of the valley and the Selkirk Mountains on the other side. This is the first rock cut. The second, farther east and down, is where the drainage went through a narrow define where, before the road construction, there were some cascading waterfalls. This spot was too rough and rocky for the Dewdney Trail. Before the road it was a place of reprieve and solitude in the shade of cedars and hemlocks where the sound

of the brook was interspersed with the long trilling and warbling calls of winter wrens. The cliffs created by rock blasting for the road have since rejuvenated. With almost 30 years behind them, these north facing defines have taken on a natural appearance with ledges and crevices harboring moist, mossy turf, little ferns, sapling shrubs and lichens. Kinnikinnick and trailing twinflower plants drape from the top. Of course, there have been other changes too. Forty years ago, the little great divide and the West Arrow Creek valley were much different, with few people and stories that traced back to the 1930s: tales of ice jams, creek diversions, deep

snows, prospecting, quartz cached in hollow stumps, settlers and cattle drives. Now, if you want a change from the world you are in now, in any season (but not in snowy conditions), take a walk, bike or car ride over the little divide. Here you are just to the south of where the water flows west down Lizzard Creek and to the Kootenay River or east into O’Kell Creek, Arrow Creek, Goat River and then the Kootenay River. Here, if coming from the west, at the little great divide, you enter a different world! Ed McMackin is a biologist by profession but a naturalist and hiker by nature.
