New doc recruited to Creston BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Valerie Comer smiles as she describes her writing — “Christian-centric romance and farm literature”, a genre that reflects her passions. The Lister farmer has written a dozen novels since taking up writing 2002, and she has settled into “writing what I know about.” “I didn’t see much fiction with this type of scenario,” she said in a recent interview at Black Bear Books, where her books can be found. She is currently anticipating publication of a third novel in a series she calls A Farm Fresh Romance. Wild Mint Tea was published in March, and the first in Lorne Eckersley the series, Raspberries and Vinegar, Lister author Valerie Comer with her Word Guild Award for the best Canadian Christian conwas released in August 2013.

A new physician will soon be arriving to take up a general practice at Summit Medical Clinic. Dr. Eleanor Huettmeyer is the latest recruit attracted to the area by the Creston Valley Health Working Group. She becomes the fifth doctor in the last two years to be successfully attracted to Creston by the award-winning health recruitment program. “Dr. Huettmeyer and her husband, Phillip Curran, were referred to us by a Creston physician who had worked with her in the past,” said recruiting consultant Marilin States. “They came for a look at the area within a week of us making contact with them.” Curran, a pharmacist, has accepted employment at Creston’s Pharmasave. Huettmeyer and Curran currently reside in Saskatoon, where they recently celebrated the birth of their first child. Huettmeyer will start in Creston with a light patient load and gradually increase it over several months, States said. “We are excited to welcome this young, active family to our community,” she said. “They enjoy outdoor activities and are looking for a place to call home. Eleanor is originally from the East Kootenay and Phillip was born and raised on Vancouver Island, and they seem excited to be returning to their home province.” In addition to general practice, Huettmeyer also brings her skills as a anesthesiologist to Creston.

A privately registered Cessna 172 crashed into the trees near Kokanee Springs Golf Resort on Saturday evening, killing one person and seriously injuring another. The plane was departing from a small strip at the Crawford Bay airport when it crashed into the golf course’s treeline. “I’m still emotionally overwrought,” said Kokanee Chalets’ owner Paul Hindson, who was at the scene of the crash. He had been playing tennis when he heard an explosive thump nearby. He dropped his racket and ran to investigate. “It’s one of those things that doesn’t even seem real,” he said. “We heard a weird chopping sound,” said Ingrid Baetzel, who was at the tennis courts with her husband, Juergen, when the plane went down. The plane ultimately came to rest on its back and caught on fire. “It came down hard. We were running in with the very first people and the front end

was fully engulfed in flames,” she said. A number of heroic passersby put themselves in danger to help rescue the pair trapped inside, said Baetzel. “I’m really proud of those guys. When you’re the first ones there it’s so hard to know what’s right,” said Baetzel. “I saw the fire and I didn’t want my husband running towards it, but I absolutely understood his need to help.” The rescuers were able to remove the female passenger quickly, but had to retrieve a knife to cut the pilot free from his belts. “They got him to safety and right after there was a series of explosions,” she said. Though she received aggressive first aid treatment, the female passenger could not be revived. “She was really small,” said Baetzel. “It’s hard to tell. She could’ve been anywhere from a teenager to 20, max. They made some efforts to resuscitate her, and that was taken over by the paramedics. But there was a sense that she was gone before she was even pulled out.” Baetzel said both a doctor and a paramedic, who had

been camping nearby, responded to the crash and helped with treatment before authorities arrived. “They were able to run across the road and help, which is so lucky,” she said. The Creston RCMP and the BC Coroner Services responded to the crash, and the Transportation Safety Board is supporting their investigation. The plane was registered in Alberta to an Edmonton man named Michal J. Kantoch, but it has not been confirmed whether he was flying the plane at the time of the accident. The pilot suffered burns and was taken to the hospital. Photos of the wreckage proliferated on Facebook and social media. The images show the burning fuselage jutting out of the trees while one of the passenger receives first aid on the golf green. Baetzel said a number of the people who were on scene for the accident, including her husband, were later taken to the hospital to check for smoke inhalation. They were all released. “This is changing thing,” said Baetzel. “It’s not something you see a lot.”

The health working group was established in 2006 and is made of representatives from current practicing physicians, Interior Health, the Town of Creston and Regional District of Central Kootenay. It is supported and funded by RDCK Areas B and C and the town. It also recruits locum physicians to pro-

vide vacation relief for Creston physicians and to fill gaps in the absence of physicians. In her role as physician recruitment consultant, States attends physician conferences and events and works with potential candidates referred by Health Match BC and Interior Health.

Group art show focusing on valley’s agriculture

Eileen Hirota

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Nine Creston Valley artists are joining forces for a show running Sept. 5-Oct. 3 at the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce. But this won’t be just another art show. “It’s specifically dealing with Creston agricultural imagery,” said Elaine Alfoldy, the exhibit’s organizer. Core Matters: Farm and Food will feature watercolours by Andy and Elaine Alfoldy and Karen Arrowsmith, pastels by Ute Bachinski and Carol Schloss, textiles by Eileen Gidman, mixed media by Eileen Hirota, and acrylics by Sandy Kunze and James McDowell. The show, with a couple of other artists included, ran at Kimberley’s Centre 64 from June 10-July 5, pleasing visitors who saw the images of Creston Valley farm life. “The theme … speaks to Creston’s central Kootenay location as a largely farming valley and that food is at the heart of a happy life,” Alfoldy wrote in the group’s Centre 64 application. “The landscape of orchards and farms, the farm animals, the work done in each season, the farmers’ markets, wineries and home gardens of the Creston Valley inspire each of the painters. We have developed our own unique interpretations of the agricultural and farming landscape that surround us in the paintings we do in our own professional practices.” The artists create a wide range of themes, but the agriculture-related pieces are often the most popular, said Alfoldy. “I looked at things Andy and I have done over the years,” she said. “People come in for my farm lady and Andy’s landscapes.” Styles in the exhibit range from realism to semi abstrac-

tion, and will include many displayed in Kimberley, as well as new pieces. When chamber executive director Jim Jacobsen gave the group the opportunity to show the work in Creston, they couldn’t pass it up — while many Kootenay galler-

ies have pictures of mountains and snow, for example, agriculture is quite unique to local artists. “Creston has a specific way artists treat farms, food and crops in imagery, and I thought we should show it off to Creston,” Alfoldy said.

Liquor vendors a hit at Creston farmers’ market BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Lorne Eckersley

Kevin Goodwin of Slocan Valley’s Kootenay Country Craft Distillery at a recent Creston Valley Farmers’ Market.

Among the many changes to the BC Liquor Control and Licensing Act this year, few have been more visible than the addition of wine, beer, cider and spirits vendors at farmers markets. The Creston Valley Farmers’ Market has become one of more than 40 markets around the province to permit liquor vendors to participate. “I love the addition of a local winery using local grapes and a craft distillery using local grain, as it provides market goers with a new way to explore the local characteristics of the Creston Valley, right at our own farmers’ market,” said manager Jen Comer. Comer invited comments on the market’s Facebook page last week, asking “What do you think of the addition of wine and spirits to our market?” The response included 27 likes and all eight comments were positive. “I haven’t had a single negative comment at the market,” she added. Baillie-Grohman Estate Winery became the first wine producer to offer its products at the Creston market earlier this summer. The Erickson winery was established in 2006 and owner Bob Johnson welcomed the new outlet for winery products. “The customers at the farmers’ market were so happy that the government was following through with changes to the liquor laws, they were doing

the happy dance in front of our booth,” he said. “It was a really positive sign that change was happening when one of the local wineries was actually at the farmers Market.” Lora and Kevin Goodwin have been making the trip from their home in the Slocan Valley to Creston regularly, introducing products from Kootenay Country Craft Distillery to a community they have a close connection with. “Working at the Creston farmers’ market has been great,” Lora said. “It gives us a way to connect face to face with potential customers and tourists from outside the area that would otherwise not know about our local farm to bottle product. “Sales at the market have been excellent and have helped us through the very difficult startup of a small distillery. The public has been very happy to see us, and many people are surprised that there is a distillery making spirits from Creston wheat.” Marquis wheat, an heirloom variety developed in the Fraser Valley in the 1890s, is used to make Valhalla Vodka. It is grown by TreasureLife Farms in Canyon. Jon Bell, president of the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets, said that there are many benefits to regula-

tory changes allowing for liquor sampling and sales at B.C. markets. “Linking consumers and farmers with knowledge and understanding of food production is at the heart of all farmers’ markets,” he said. “The addition of liquor sales at B.C. farmers’ markets is a great extension of the ‘buy local’ and ‘make it, bake it, grow it’ philosophies. These recent changes have been seen as positive by vendors and customers.” While changes in provincial regulations allowed for wine, beer and liquor sales in farmers markets, each market can choose whether it wants to permit such vendors. And the sales must meet local government bylaws and regulations, too. All vendors must have Serving it Right certification to ensure responsible service and prevent sales to minors. With the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market now in its second year of operation on Canyon Street beside the chamber of commerce, Comer said the market’s growth and popularity with consumers has been outstanding. “This summer we have averaged 44 vendors and have been drawing huge numbers of people to each market,” she said. “It is very exciting to see the enthusiasm of our vendors and their customers!”

Auto insurance hijacked

Don’t you love situations where government that takes money from the political leaning of a governing overcharged optional auto insurance party doesn’t square with its own buyers to fund programs has also actions? ICBC is a great example. committed to returning savings from Why, you might wonder, does a sup- the teachers’ strike back to parents posedly free enterprise party like the BC Liberals continue to operate an automobile insurance company, a large part of its business which comes from a legislated monopoly that prevents private insurers from selling basic coverage? It isn’t complicated, really. Lorne Eckersley The Liberals have had a long, long time to get out of the insurance business when they are (at least those with school children generally philosophically opposed to under 13 years of age). providing services that the private The Christy Clark government sector can handle (and wants). But won’t put those savings back into they are addicted to the profits. the treasury to help fund a contract There is a certain irony at play that falls in line with court rulings here, too. While basic insurance is on class size and composition priced, we are told, to pay its way because, well, it doesn’t have any (hence the most recent request from great love for public education and ICBC to jack up basic rates by more all those pain-in-the-butt unionized than five per cent), the governmentemployees. But it loves being in the owned company is making money insurance business because it can hand over fist in the optional auto siphon off profits and keep tax insurance sector.

ICBC Instead, it forks over the surplus doesn’t only provide a break-even profits to the provincial treasury, the basic insurance service without any same pot that most tax money ends competition at all. It funds things up in, a pot that funds services that like police checkstops and highway don’t fall under the “user pay” phisafety projects that would typically losophy that has grown popular be paid out of taxation. It’s an insidiwith conservative-leaning governous form of taxation that shields the ments in recent years. public from truly understanding This is a relatively new source of how it pays for services, much like revenue for the province.

somehow taxpayers are conned into believing isn’t government debt. It’s such an obvious and tired shell game that apparently we have stopped even thinking about it. In an excellent recent column on the ICBC issue, Vaughan Palmer of the Vancouver Sun points out that the absurdity doesn’t stop at moving surpluses into general revenues. The government also taxes insurance premium charges, so the customer gets a double whammy. The best defense for government-owned automobile insurance is that it can be fairer, especially for newer drivers who in other jurisdictions pay much higher rates because statistically they cost insurers a lot of money. So the safe young (or inexperienced) driver pays for the ones who are involved in crashes. Fair enough, the desire to help ease the burden on inexperienced drivers, but in reality a provincial government could legislate the private sector to accomplish what ICBC does. But then the province wouldn’t simply siphon off hundreds of millions of surpluses from private companies, right? Well, actually it could. But it would be taxation, and taxation is a dirty word these days. Maybe I am an odd duck, but I’d prefer to pay for the services I get from the government through taxation, and have my auto insurance money pay only for auto insurance (including a profit for shareholders of private sector business, because I never have purchased optional ICBC insurance since I had a choice). The political manipulation I can do without. Lorne Eckersley is the publisher of the Creston Valley Advance.

Plane builder appreciates Advance article To the Editor: (Re: “After 45 years, home-built plane takes flight”, Aug. 7) Thanks for the great article on our plane and me. No project like this would be possible without the love and support of family: my lovely wife of 50 years, Lynda, our daughter, Dawn, and our son, Darrin, who is always willing to give a helping hand.

Most of us dog owners go there to allow our dogs to socialize with other dogs. Most of us are responsible dog owners and clean up after our pets. It’s too bad that there are some dog owners that use the park as a free dumping ground for their dogs. This is so irresponsible, as the poop bag dispenser is right there and it’s always had bags in it when I’ve been there. It’s so convenient. There is no excuse for not picking up after your dog. You people make it look bad for the rest of us responsible dog owners. Maybe you should just run your dogs out in the country somewhere. Deborah Munro Nelson

CLFD response Dog owners impresses need to pick residents up at offleash park To the Editor: We used to live in Creston a few years ago and will be eventually moving back. I was so excited to hear Creston has an off-leash dog park. I have been at the dog park a couple of times now and it was done up right, with the double-gated entryway, the poop bag dispenser, garbage can and more. It also is a nice size for dogs to run around in. It’s great! I was visiting a few days ago and took my dog to the dog park. I was so disappointed. When I got toward the far end of the park, I had to watch where I was stepping. There were so many piles of dog poop!

To the Editor: On Aug. 14, our son-in-law and daughter’s rental property on CanyonLister Road burned down. Thankfully, no one was in the house at the time so there were no injuries. We were impressed with the prompt and efficient service provided by the Canyon-Lister Fire Department and the followup later that evening. It gives us confidence to know that our rural area can rely on this kind of help in such emergencies. We should never take for granted how fortunate we are that local residents are prepared to undertake time consuming training in order to be available when events like this take place. Our heartfelt thanks to each of the team members who were on duty that evening. Ian and Averil Cotton Creston

Service station no help to senior driver

To the Editor: I am a 73-year-old senior. I found myself in a situation about two weeks ago. I was on my way to town when I realized that I had a flat tire and stopped at the side of the road not knowing what to do. Some years ago, there was always someone who would stop to see if they could help. Today, they fly by as if there is no tomorrow! Anyway, I drove slowly to the nearest service station to ask if someone could help me put some air in my tire. I went in to purchase some cigarettes and ask my question. There was a lady and a gentleman, and when I asked my question, they started to talk to each other in their own language. At that point, I asked if they could speak in English so I could understand what they were saying. I heard the word “insurance” in there, so I said, “I won’t sue you. Just put some air in my tire so I can get home.” All the while, they were still talking in their own language and I got upset and asked again if they could speak English. Somewhere in there, I heard the man tell me to shut up. I told him never to tell me that again. I left the store and wanted to call my friend but there was no phone outside. So I asked to use their phone and the answer was no. I drove home on the flat tire! You know, there were at least three men and one woman in the store that just stood there. It is a sad world we live in! Ella Groenewegen van der Weiden Erickson

Annual Creston pool shutdown ensures well-maintained facility

We have reached that magical time of year known as pool shutdown, and for those of you unaware of this annual occurrence, don’t despair — we are almost at the halfway point. This is the time of year when all the pool basins are drained, inspected, scrubbed and disinfected, along with any necessary repairs done. Along with the pools, all the decks are scrubbed, as well as windows and walls cleaned way up high, pipes wiped down and this year we are changing out all the bulbs over the pools. I know some of you have noticed a few of the bulbs tend to kick off for about 45 seconds then relight for a couple minutes then repeat which is a pretty clear indication that bulb is begging for an assisted suicide. While the original pool design placed most of the fixtures above deck space specifically for access, it is still a challenge to change some of the bulbs; thus it becomes a shutdown scenario where we can spend time setting up proper equipment. The astute swimmers will notice we have some fixtures above the pool but those lights are rarely used in order to conserve life but still be available

should the need arise. You may also have noticed that the bulbs above the leisure pool are more orangey while the ones over the lap pool are whiter. This is not because Bulbs ’R’ Us ran out of one

violet systems and general pump maintenance. The locker rooms are scrubbed down even more intensely than we do on a daily basis and any necessary touchups to paint or grout are made at that time. The fall leisure guide was mailed out to everyone the latter part of August and classes have already begun to fill up. If you did not receive a copy or have some questions or want to register, stop by the front counter and we’ll do our best to help you. There are a pile of programs to choose from; some old, some new and some requested by you, as well as all our fall special events, including our second annual health and wellness fair. Last year gave us some good insight on the fair and we have tweaked it to make it even better based on yours and exhibitors’ feedback. It definitely is gaining momentum — and what better subject than your health? Anyway, I will touch upon the fair a bit more as it gets closer but if you want more info or want to display, contact Andrea at 250-4287127 or crestonrec@rdck.bc.ca.

colour; it is an architectural feature that casts a warmer light over the leisure pool where everyone is having fun and a whiter, more businesslike luminosity over the real serious, don’t-get-in-myway swimmers. We are pretty low-key as far as yearly pool repairs are concerned; face it, we are only a little over four years old and everything was built to a pretty high standard. In the back, there is some chemical tubing that needs replacing, as well as the sand filters are opened up, cleaned and examined along with ultra-

Douma earns silver medal in national blind golf tourney BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

He did it again. After placing second overall in the world and Australian blind golf championships in May, Darren Douma placed second in his sight category’s low net division at the Canadian Open Blind Golf Championship. “It was a another great event for me, despite not winning. I shot scores of 88 and 86, which were respectable scores not having played this course before,” said Douma, who was diagnosed in 2005 with Stargardt disease, an incurable and rare genetic juvenile form of macular degeneration, affecting central fine vision. The 43-year-old competed in the tournament held Aug. 5-7 in Truro, N.S., for a net total of 136 to win the silver

medal, with a 75-year-old B.C. man earning gold in their B3 sight category. “Overall, I was happy with this performance, but was happier for someone else,” said Douma. “A fellow British Columbian, George Thirkill, who was my roommate over in Australia, played a very consistent tournament to beat me for gold low net.” Douma was assisted through the tournament, both on and off the course, by sight coach Donnie Lynds, and he noted that the N.S. residents were just as friendly to their visitors as the folks in Nelson Bay, Australia, were. “It was another great experience in Truro, and all volunteers and organizers did a great job with the event,” he said.
