Bountiful teen rescued from Mount Thompson

Hare Krishna monk visits on fourth walk across Canada

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff The saffron-coloured robes of Bhaktimarga Swami make him a highly visible sight as he strides along highways in his fourth cross-Canada walk. The Hare Krishna monk passed through Creston on the weekend, but returned by car from the west side of Kootenay Pass to make a presentation at the Creston Valley Yoga Studio. He then visited the Advance office to continue a discussion from 2006, when he was profiled on his third walk across Canada. “I’ve done a lot more walking since then,” he laughed. “I’ve walked in Israel, Ireland, Guyana, Trinidad and even Mauritius.” Swami made his first “walking meditation” trip across Canada in 1996, walking westward. In 2003, he set out from Cape Spear, N.L., to complete the circle. When he isn’t walking or travelling the world, he lives as a celibate, monastic monk n Markham, Ont., promoting the Hare Krishna message through his involvement with youth and “morality theatre”. “I was trying to understand why I barely even remember Creston,” he said on Monday. “Then I realized that everything looks different because I arrived from a different direction.” In 2006, he arrived from the west along Highway 3A and on this trip he came from the east.

A 13-year-old resident of Bountiful is in stable condition at Calgary’s Foothills Medical Centre after being rescued in the dark of night early on Friday. Leroy Palmer sustained serious but not life-threatening injuries and was evacuated via Creston and Cranbook airports after spending about 12 hours at an altitude estimated at 4,600 metres by RCMP Const. Morgan Littlejohn. Palmer was apparently climbing the steep cliffs of Mount Thompson when he lost his footing and slid or fell about 100 metres before coming to rest in a difficult area to access. “Fortunately, Leroy’s brother was able to locate him, and then he sent out cellphone photos of the location, which aided search and rescue technicians in reaching the injured boy,” Littlejohn said on Monday. Creston RCMP and Creston Valley Search and Rescue personnel were aided by a Canadian Forces team from Comox, which arrived in a helicopter and fixed wing aircraft. “The search was complicated by the fact that some males — adults and teens — from the Bountiful community had gone up the mountain on their own in an attempt to locate the boy,” Littlejohn said.

Council considering changes to development cost charge bylaw BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

A year after several public meetings were held to discuss infrastructure costs for new developments, Creston town council is considering changes to the development cost charge (DCC) bylaw. The issue was discussed at the June 3 committee of the whole meeting at Creston Town Hall, where engineering manager Colin Farynowski presented an overview of the current bylaw and possible changes. “The question we always ask ourselves in planning for projects is, ‘Who benefits?’ ” he said. “We then try to assign a cost share on that basis.” A new sewer line installed to accommodate a new subdivision, for example, might also benefit existing homes and businesses in the neighbourhood. Development cost charges are designed to offset actual costs over a specific time period, typically 10-15 years. “We don’t want to discourage commercial development with uncompetitive DCCs,” said Coun. Wesly Graham. “Ideally it should be user pay,” Coun. Judy Gadicke said, “but a 50-50 split with existing taxpayers is probably OK.” “DCCs should be fair and equitable, and changes should be put in place as soon as possible,” said Coun. Joanna Wilson. “Then they can be tweaked if needed when the official community plan is updated (in two years).”

Swami walking

From page 1 Highway 3 to Kootenay Pass, a daunting trip for most, has been pure pleasure, he said. Early on Monday he was walking westward and downhill from the road’s highest point. “But I think I prefer walking uphill,” he said. On his Canadian walks, Swami travels with supporters who transport him to engagements in schools, yoga centres and even seniors’ centres when he isn’t walking. Each morning he returns to walking, picking up where he left off the previous day. For the most part, he sleeps in a tent, only occasionally taking up an offer to stay in a house. If his travels in Canada are well planned and organized, he takes a more spur of the moment attitude in other countries. “In Israel, where I was speaking in Jerusalem, I asked a man, ‘Can you show me a map?’ I looked at it and said, ‘I think that’s do-able. Why don’t we start out tomorrow?’

Mayor Ron Toyota said the town has the ability to tweak costs for specific projects if it wants to promote development. Another committee of the whole meeting was scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on June 17th to continue the discussion.

Committee Briefs •Toyota raised the issue of herbicide spraying in town parks. He said he had received a number of complaints after a contractor from the Okanagan was hired to spray Nufarm Trillion on lawns in Burns Park, Centennial Park and Millennium Park. The spray is designed to control broadleaf weeds in lawns and is approved by Health Canada, Toyota said. It is considered harmless to humans shortly after application. The issue was referred for discussion to the next council meeting and further information was posted on the town website. •Also discussed was the controversy about the removal of pink bags placed over parking meters to promote free two-hour parking on Canyon Street. A plan by town staff to place metal signs on top of parking meter posts was deemed dangerous and council concluded that a sticker on existing posts would be more suitable. •Council requested that staff report on the options to install a third columbarium at the cemetery, as the second one has only a few spaces left. Other columbarium options will also be considered.

“I think going outside your comfort zone is important.” Swami remembers the Crowsnest Highway as being “a nice experience last time.” “I love to go into smaller communities.” He makes a surprising observation about changes he has noticed in his four walks across Earth’s second-largest country. “The world has changed. People are more open-minded.” Being accosted along the route by what he describes as “redneck attitudes” has become a rarity, he said. Truckers stop to hand off containers of fruit juice, drivers arrive with baskets of fruit and others are just curious about a man wearing saffron colours. “I get to talk about balance, and that’s what walking offers us,” he said. “We don’t think consciously about it, but when we walk and our right arm goes up, so does our left leg — it creates a sense of balance that is often missing in our day to day lives.” Pilgrimages, he said, are a part of human history that he is happy to help continue. And, if he is continually battered by the winds created as cars and trucks speed past, Swami takes joy from his time to meditate and chant as he strides along the roadside. “If you look at our ancestry, we have a history of roaming,” he said, heading out the door.

CCMA winner judging regional singing contest BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor Sixteen singers will be taking the stage at the Prince Charles Theatre on Saturday to compete for the top spot in the Kootenays’ Best Singer contest, which will name the third annual regional winner. This year, a celebrity judge will among three taking on the challenge of selecting the best singers — Duane Steele, who has been nominated for Juno Awards and multiple Canadian Country Music Awards, winning CCMAs for vocal collaboration (1997) and independent male artist (2001). “I’ve known him since I was a kid,” said producer Vern Gorham, who started the contest series in Creston in 2010. “He’s a great singer-songwriter. … It’s exciting to showcase talent from the Kootenays in Creston, but it’s also exciting to bring a person who’s accomplished so much in the music industry to Creston. After hosting the regional contest in Cranbrook in 2012 and 2013, Gorham is looking forward to bringing some Kootenay talent to Creston on June 14. “I really felt like it was time to bring the regional contest here, to my home,” said Gorham. “The Creston audi-

From page 1 The rescue efforts became more dramatic when a service dog, Art, and his handler needed assistance in getting down from the mountain. They had arrived straight from another search effort near Castlegar before heading up Mount Thompson. “We thought the dog was dead — he was so exhausted he couldn’t walk or respond to people around him,” Littlejohn said. “It was only when I put a bowl of water near his head that I real-

In addition to the $1,000 top prize, this week’s winner will perform next year at the Kaslo Jazz Etc. Summer Music Festival; 2012 Kootenay winner Trena Spears and 2013 Creston’s Best Singer winner Victoria Bowns will perform there this summer. Following Saturday’s contest, the action will move to the Snoring Sasquatch for an after party where Steele will perform. “Between the contest and Duane’s performance, this will be a great evening for music lovers,” said Gorham. The Kootenays’ Best Singer contest starts at 6 p.m. June 14; tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Combined tickets to the contest and after party are $25 in advance, and tickets for the after party alone are $18 in advance and $25 at the door.

Bruce Mihalcheon, sustained a leg injury during the search. “Creston RCMP would like to thank the members of the public who assisted in getting Const. Mihalcheon and his dog off the mountain,” Cpl. Charlotte Joa said. “It was a very difficult night for everyone involved.” Palmer remains in Calgary, where he is being treated for multiple injuries.

Kootenay Employment Services staff input votes during the June 4 Community Conversations event.

Conversations result in vote for walking trail to connect Erickson, Creston, Wynndel BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

After six months of discussion, the final Community Conversations event on June 4 resulted in participants choosing a project for the Creston Valley: a designated bike and walking path to connect Creston, Wynndel and Erickson. Nearly 250 attended the Kootenay Employment Services (KES) event to take part in three rounds of voting, after about 300 took part in the monthly sessions. “We’ll be drawing from that database to see who can help out with this project,” said Eden Yesh, who runs the program and is manager of KES’s Invermere branch. An initial round of voting listed 300 potential projects, from which participants last week

selected their first, second and third choices in several subcategories, including recreation, health, education and business. From there, using software developed by KES staff, the list was narrowed to 81 options, and then, after a second round of voting, to nine. Among the top nine were “More doctors and a walk-in clinic”, “Co-operative housing project”, “Value-added cannery and packaging for local fruits and vegetables” and “Strategy to become an organic and sustainable capital in Canada.” The goal now, Yesh said, is to create a steering committee and a realistic timeline and milestones for the trail project, hopefully within six to 12 months. With nearly 300 potential projects that didn’t make the cut, there will be an opportunity next month for champions of those

ideas to give a 10-minute presentation to funders on July 17. To be slotted in, a form can be filled out at ourcommunityconversations.com/panelprojects. And the hope is that the other top choices can be considered at some point in the future. “These will be valuable to community development over next couple of years,” said Yesh. The potential EricksonCreston-Wynndel trail was the only project of its type that made it to the top nine, but it was one of several on the initial list, which was a good sign, according to Trails for the Creston Valley Society president Mary Jayne Blackmore. “It shows that the focus of the community is on developing recreation and a healthy lifestyle,” she said. “We were excited to see a lot of our top projects in the short list.”

Fire damages Yasodhara Ashram temple where nightly devotional services were held. The temple has windows and doors on each side, “symbolizing different ways to enter the sacred in ourselves through different religions or paths. It’s very ecumenical. That ideal of people coming together in unity is what the temple was.” Known as the temple of light, it was built in 1992 based on the long-held vision of the ashram’s founder, the late Swami Sivananda Radha. “She called it her little dream,” Lalitananda said. “Ever since she was a teenager, she saw this vision of this particular shape of building overlooking water with big

It’s unclear whether a local landmark can be salvaged following a fire overnight June 5. Someone walking by the temple at Yashodhara Ashram on Kootenay Lake’s East Shore noticed smoke coming from its domed roof at about 6:30 p.m. No one was inside at the time. The ashram’s own emergency response team got hoses out and start cooling down the flames until firefighters from the Riondel and BalfourHarrop volunteer departments arrived, along with paramedics from Riondel. They worked throughout the night, finally extinguishing the fire after about 12 hours. Swami Lalitananda, who teaches at the ashram, said even though the temple is still standing, it suffered major damage. “We don’t know exactly how extensive it is,” she said. “The walls are still standing. The shape of the building is still there, but there’s a lot of fragile structure.” At a minimum, the roof’s frame and arches will have to be taken down. Although the cause is unknown, she suspects some kind of spark is to blame. It was difficult for firefighters to

She felt she had to manifest that vision.” The ashram, a yoga retreat and study center, was founded on Walker ’s Landing Road in Kootenay Bay in 1963. The temple’s foundation was laid two years later, but it took until the late 1980s for work to begin. Lalitananda said the fire was “shocking for us” and came less than a week after hundreds of people packed the temple, including musicians from India. She expressed their “deep gratitude” to firefighters.

ing to sign them up as Hare Krishnas. Swami committed to his celibate, monastic life more than 40 years ago, and he is clearly comfortable in his own Crocs (he switches from good quality sneakers to Crocs part way through each day on the road. “The feet need the change in the routine, just like the rest of the body,” he told me in 2006. Now, eight years older, he’s slowed down a bit, averaging 35 kilometres a day where he once averaged 42 kilometres. But the determination remains as strong as ever. “I do believe that collectively working on our inner strengths does heal a society that socially beckons for improvement,” he writes. “I leave you with these suggested courses of action to challenge what I identify as our culprit, rat-racism, our modern day crisis: More walking, less squawking. More praying, less braying.” Not bad advice even those who aren’t likely to embrace beliefs from either the East or West. On late Monday afternoon, after a presentation at the Creston Valley Yoga Studio, Bhaktimarga Swami arrived at my office for a visit. On the eve of my 60th birthday, I was pleased to note that my memory hadn’t dulled with time. In our half-hour chat, we covered many topics, had some laughs and swapped ideas about philosophy. It was every bit as satisfying a visit as the one I so fondly recall from eight years ago. I wish him continued safety and good health on his journeys of discovery.

Cultivate and encourage life

After taking refuge in the Buddha, the dharma and the sangha, and after vowing to live by the three pure precepts — cease from harm, do only good and do good for others — Zen practitioners strive to live by 10 precepts that define thoughts, words and actions that enable us to do only good. The first of these 10 precepts is to abstain from taking life. This includes human and animal life, birds and insects, but does not include plant life. A violation of the first precepts involves five factors. First, there is a living being. Second, there is knowledge that the being is a living being. Third, there is the intention to kill. Fourth, the killing is carried out. Fifth, the being dies. The Buddha taught that a disciple of the Buddha does not kill, encourage others to kill, praise killing or rejoice at witnessing killing. He or she must not create the causes, conditions or methods of killing, and shall not intentionally kill any living creature. Instead, as a Buddhist, he or she nurtures a mind of compassion, always devising ways to rescue and protect all beings. This precept expresses the Zen practitioner’s intent to live compassionately and harmlessly. When

understood in its broadest context, not killing can also be understood as not harming the body or mind of another. Thus, physical violence and abusive behavior (which includes

Zen's-Eye View Kuya Minogue

physical threats, extreme displays of anger and maliciousness) are a kind of “killing”. Of course, this is a precept that we cannot keep completely. Given the complexity of contemporary life, killing or involvement with killing is unavoidable. Biological, social or political demands conflict with our intention not to take life. Unless we are vegan, we eat food and wear clothes that involve taking the lives of animals. We kill insects and rodents to prevent them from invading our homes or spreading disease. We kill in subtler ways, as well. A harsh word may instantly kill years of trust. A derisive comment may kill inspiration in another person. We

may kill a relationship by taking the other person for granted. This precept also calls up deep questions about ethics around the issues of abortion, life support and medically assisted suicide. In Zen centre classes, we talk about these issues and try to understand how the precept against killing affects our view of them. Fortunately, the Buddhist precepts are not commandments. They are more like training wheels. It is said that an enlightened being responds correctly to every situation. Keeping the precepts is a training discipline that helps us to live harmoniously with others while learning to actualize true kindness for all beings. The precept against killing teaches us, in all circumstances, to call up compassion so that we choose to cultivate and encourage life and refrain from killing wherever possible. Suggested practice: For the next two weeks, notice the places where it is necessary to take life in order to survive and if it isn’t necessary, cultivate and encourage life where you find it.

Teacher’s hours same, but pay cut To the Editor: (Open letter to B.C. Minster of Education Peter Fassbender) I am motivated to speak out after hearing School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) psychologist Todd Kettner’s response to the Ministry of Education’s deductions from the pay of British Columbia Teachers’ Federation members during the current lockout. He spoke eloquently about the time he actually puts in on the job. In case you think that the situation regarding a classroom teacher’s hours of work is different, I’d like to bring my perspective to the statement, “We are reducing the hours of work” of BCTF members (Michael Marchbank, B.C. Public School Employers’ Association). We all, always, work overtime. I start planning lessons, researching, thinking about how to manage the diverse needs of my students at about 7 every morning. It’s often a topic of discussion with my husband over breakfast. I teach four 80-minute classes per day and often run to confer with a colleague, do copying or find resources in the five-minute break between those classes. After going home, I sit down again at the computer. I spend a few more hours working — marking, seeking new resources, activities, methods, textbooks. The Ministry of Education hasn’t updated the curriculum in my teaching area since 2001. Since the world has changed since 2001, it’s up to me to take up the slack and make things meaningful and current for my students.

OPINION LINE

Maybe I could choose a new textbook to keep up with the times? Oh, I forgot: minimal budget for resources. So I spend some more of my evening hours, searching for used textbooks in acceptable condition on eBay, trying to stretch the budget a little further. Recently, a new student joined one of my classes and the only book I had to give her was the one with the missing pages. It’s lucky for her that we’ve already passed that chapter. Since my time-on-task everyday is about 7 a.m. to 7 or 8 p.m., it’s pretty hard to relax and sleep well at night. I, like many of my colleagues, am an insomniac. I am often kept awake by the demanding job I do and I frequently seek solutions for students and classes with complex needs from 2-4 a.m., sometimes from 3-5 a.m. Yet, all of us show up at school in the morning and put a smile on for the day. For our students. It takes until about mid-July to get over the insomnia and sleep through the night. The insomnia begins again in late August, as I anticipate the situation to come in September. Yes, I have 10-and-a-half month insomnia. It’s on an annual schedule. Since I can’t “turn it off” when I’m getting my usual salary, I have difficulty turning it off when they reduce my pay as well. Let’s examine what I have not done, that led to this deduction in pay. In my own case, I have not read memos from the principal and I have not attended two meetings. That’s all. I’m still on the job, in my classroom all day and all night at home. I am still making plans for finishing this year’s classes on a positive note and still making plans for next year’s classes, planning for another year of doing more with less. My hours of work haven’t been reduced at all. But my pay has. Karen Christiansen Creston

X-rays should be patient’s choice, not dentist’s

To the Editor: I read with interest the letter, “Patient rejected by ‘avaricious’ dentist” (May 29, page 7). A patient was unceremoniously dispatched because he did not fit the mould of doctor knows best treatment. He also was not the holder of a valid dental plan. I, too, was recently turfed by a different doctor but in the same town after being a patient for many years because I do not believe in routine X-rays. I am sure X-rays can be a useful tool but should only be used in circumstances where the need is there. The patient should be allowed to make the decisions based on what he feels is necessary after consultation with his doctor. After all, they are his teeth and he should not be punished for his decision. Before a patient has his coat off, they are routinely setting up the X-ray machine. Creston is a small market and there appears to be a shortage of dentists and, more importantly, assistants to clean your teeth. These strong-arm tactics will likely continue until there are more clinics, more competition, and better patient awareness. People will have to start taking ownership of the treatment they receive in a dental clinic. The most important extraction occurring is from your wallet. For my part, I am flossing more and eating plenty of dog biscuits. Allan K. Tompkins Creston

Just south of the bench, located by the ponderosa pine, the once soft purple and yellow, trumpetshaped flowers of broomrape had a very “bleached” look, a sign of age.

kilometre 1.75. Last year, through community effort, most of the boardwalk was replaced and surfaced with metal grid to prevent slipping when the planks are wet. However, the west arm of the boardwalk leading to the Creston Mountain Trail and Holly Falls, is something else. It recently collapsed. One must now cross on logs in the swamp or sidestep across on the one large log. This is a bit of a tricky crossing and even trickier if you don’t use a hiking stick or pole of some sort and the log is slippery. Watch out for nails in the old planks! (Perhaps by the time you read this, some community volunteer effort may have rectified the situation.) The other arm of this boardwalk leads to the Fern Forest Trail, which, in 1.3 kilometres, passing the Trans Canada Trail and a trail registry box, reaches the Summit Creek highway bridge crossing. Passing under the bridge, a trail leads through Summit Creek “park” (the old picnic area of the former campground) to its entrance to the highway pullout.

Trails

From page 7 From there, one can also continue south along an old road and through the meadowlands to the bird lookout and ultimately to West Creston Road and the Balancing Rock Trail head. I think that two hours is plenty for this circle route, passing through different landscapes and scenery. Now, back to the boardwalk. The west arm of the boardwalk, presently out of order, leads to the Creston Mountain Trail, which, beware, in several places is adjacent to some precipitous steeps. This trail is pretty much a constant uphill with a series of switchbacks before and several series of switchbacks beyond the Holly Falls trail junction, at kilometre 3.2. Beyond this junction, each series is joined by a longer southerly leg, with the last series numbering about 31 switchbacks before reaching a longer, somewhat downhill leg to the south and a lookout called End of Trail, at kilometre 4.45. This point and registry box is perhaps twothirds the way up Creston Mountain. If one feels ambitious, the ravine to the west and up can be followed from the registry box, along a natural route on the north side, leading to the Third Ledge, a fabulous lookout from an enormous flat rock providing a panoramic view of the Creston Valley far below. The elevation gain from West Creston Road to End of Trail is, more or less, 2,100 feet. The distance to the End of Trail lookout is about 4.45 km. And, this past

Sunday afternoon, I spent about two hours and 20 minutes doing it, including the short, several-minute spur to Holly Falls. The steep trail is in most places in good condition. Local volunteers have chainsawed through the windfalls and cleared limbs off the trail. On the way up, just before reaching the boardwalk after passing the Balancing Rock, I met up with a young couple who had just moved to the area. At that point we looked for calypso orchids, a.k.a. fairy slippers, which I had seen there a few days before. We didn’t find any but while I was still looking, one of the party pulled up some nice photos of the orchid on a telephone or similar device. So, if you don’t find what ever you are looking for, you can check it out on your iPod or something like that. I must say it appeared to be very handy and much easier than carrying a plant book along. Of course, first, one must have a name. Back on the trail, after leaving the swamp the trail passes along a brook where I encountered threefoot fairy bells, spent trilliums, not-so-old glacier lilies and bronze bells. After one and half hours, I reached Holly Falls Trail but not after seeing the first bunches of freshly opened western blue clematis flowers and tiny blue flowers of blue-eyed Mary. On the short trail into the falls there were some fresh calypso orchids. Another I didn’t see down below, where early spring had passed, was twinflowered honeysuckle (Google can help you with that one, too). At 3:01, I reached a small lookout guarded by an unusually large

ponderosa pine. Its diameter was at least four feet. Soon I reached an elevation where it seemed I was again back in April. There was an especially large patch of fresh glacier lilies, giving another encore of spring. Many other gems — landscape and scenery — were reencountered on this jaunt. A trek isn’t so hard when you get caught up in such beautiful surroundings! See you on the Lady Slipper Trail! (Last time we met, I mentioned that the elevation gain from Highway 3A to the LakeviewArrow Creek summit’s height-ofland on the Lakeview-Arrow Creek Road, was in the ballpark of 300-400 feet. Well, it is more like 600 feet.) Ed McMackin is a biologist by profession but a naturalist and hiker by nature. He can be reached at 250866-5747.
