annual Santa Claus Parade was in jeopardy because the event will no longer be covered by Town of Creston liability insurance.

Creston Valley voters can expect to see some familiar names when they step into the ballot booth on Nov. 15. Creston Mayor Ron Toyota and two of the three local Regional District of Central Kootenay directors have confirmed their intention to seek re-election. Only one town councillor, Judy Gadicke, has stated she will not run in an election that will see local government representatives elected to four-year terms instead of the traditional three. The change is intended to bring local government elections in line with provincial elections and is a cost-saving move. Gadicke, who topped the polls in her two election wins, said her priorities have shifted.

PCSS reunion will remember Tak Toyota

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

When Prince Charles Secondary School classmates of 1964-1966 gather for a reunion this weekend, not all the conversation will revolve around old friends catching up. Tak Toyota, who worked tirelessly for the betterment of his community, will also be remembered. Toyota, father of Creston Mayor Ron Toyota, a 1965 graduate, will be featured in a tribute that includes a display of photos and newspaper clippings. “He meant so much to our community, and especially to young people,” organizer Pat Paterson said last week. An entrepreneur at heart, Toyota married Betty Umakoshi in 1946 and shortly afterward they relocated to Creston, where he operated Creston Electric Ltd., a radio repair shop. It would eventually evolve into Taks Home Furnishers, with locations in Cranbrook, Fernie, Golden and Creston. He also developed a cabled video system for the town. Soon he took an active interest in community development. In 1958 he spearheaded the Kiwanis talent show, and he served as Creston Valley Blossom Festival chair for a number of years starting in 1960. After the old civic centre burned to the ground, Creston faced somewhat of a crisis. Insurance and donations, including land, allowed for the building structure to be completed on the present site, but two borrowing referendums to make the facility useable were defeated. Toyota headed a fundraising group that initiated Operation All-Out to raise $180,000 by asking families to donate at least $200. “$200 is a lot of money and will mean a tremendous sacrifice, but we are asking you to come through this time,” said a letter to residents. “Banks are co-operating as much as possible and arrangements can be

Chamber

From page 1 In recent years, the chamber of commerce has organized the December parade and Canada Day festivities in return for contributions from the town and RDCK, and a contract with the town qualified those events to be covered by municipal insurance. The contract is no longer in place with the new funding arrangement. New RDCK chief administrative officer Stuart Horn stepped into the discussion, though, and said there was a simple solution. “It’s easy for the events to have cost-free insurance by adding them to the RDCK policy,” he said.

made for loans as low as $10 a month for a $200 pledge.’ “Let’s get behind it, get it built, get it over with and enjoy it and be proud of it,” he wrote. In the 1960s, Toyota established Teen Town, which organized activities for students. He and Betty also led the way in establishing all-night grad parties and running them for several years. Battles of the bands drew teens from all over Creston Valley, where they danced to the music of competing groups. Members of bands recall him as an enthusiastic supporter of teen activities. One such band, the Ambassadors, reunited for a performance seven years ago in Millennium Park, with lead singer Pat (Whitford) Paterson at the microphone. In 1972 Toyota was honored as Creston’s citizen of the year, an award, not surprisingly, that

he had initiated as a Kiwanis Club project in 1958. “The man who started the annual Kiwanis talent show here 14 years ago received his award as Creston’s citizen of the year at this year’s talent revue,” said a story in the Nelson Daily News. “Tak Toyota received a plaque from Kiwanis president Roy Pridham and a bouquet was given to Mrs. Toyota at the Prince Charles Secondary School. “Mr. Toyota, a businessman who has expanded his business to stores in Cranbrook, Golden and Fernie, has been an active community worker. “He served on town council for six years, was president of the board of trade and for many years was chairman of the annual Blossom Festival.” Toyota died following a brief illness on Feb. 18, 1973.

A disagreement on the rental fee for Creston and District Community Complex facilities at this year’s Creston Valley Home and Garden Show was also resolved. Facility manager Randy Fediuk reported that the possibility of a Creston Valley Thunder Cats’ playoff game forced the home and garden event to be moved into the curling rink. The move resulted in a drop of revenues (only 67 booths could be accommodated, down from the previous year’s 97) for the chamber of commerce, which was left with a shortfall after paying expenses. RDCK directors voted to offset the shortfall of about $2,200 by reducing the rental fee by that amount for the next home and garden show.

•Also from the Creston Valley Services Committee meeting: Consultant Wendall Marshall reported that the retrofit of Rotacrest Hall is on budget, with most of the work on the upper floor now complete. Renovations have been undertaken to upgrade the facility, allowing the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors to be accommodated on the lower level. Changes include construction of a kitchen where a manager’s apartment once was located. The upper floor will become home to the New Horizons seniors group. Both floors will also be available for rental when they are available. Total cost of the extensive retrofit is budgeted at $336,000.

Pot trade connected to gangs, town life not a draw BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

The Creston marijuana trade has connections to organized gangs but there don’t seem to be any gangsters residing in the area, Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said on Monday. “Our intelligence information indicates that a large portion of the marijuana sales activity is backed by a criminal organization and provincial intelligence says majority is run by Hell’s Angels,” he said. “We haven’t identified any local members. Most of the other drugs come in through Alberta and they don’t seem to be specifically associated with one gang.” “The small size of the Creston Valley works in our favour,” he added. “We have no night life or fast living, and those are appeals to people who get involved in organized crime. We did have a couple of Independent Soldiers come in from Prince George last year, but they were quickly identified by members of the community. We were able to lay some charges for several offences and they left town.” Gollan said most of Creston’s criminal drug scene members act independently.

When he was located, he had not been consuming alcohol and showed no signs of impairment. September 3 •An intoxicated male behaving aggressively on Northwest Boulevard was gone when police arrived on the scene. •A bylaw ticket was issued to an Eighth Avenue South resident for playing loud music. He is the source of ongoing complaints from neighbours. •A female tenant on Highway 3 was warned for disturbing the peace. September 4 •When Kingsgate border personnel reported a tractor-trailer unit reported stolen in Ontario was entering Canada, an investigation revealed that a male had leased the semi and hired another man to drive it.

He is a gentleman, a wonderful ambassador for our community, thoughtful, well spoken, intelligent and is always working to better our community.” “I have truly enjoyed my two terms as mayor of Creston and I believe I still have a lot to offer,” said Toyota. “We have accomplished a lot, not only as a council, but by working in concert with regional directors to make the Creston Valley an even better place to live.” Veteran councillor Joanna Wilson will be making a run for a fourth term after serving previously on the School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) board. “Having served three consecutive terms, I feel there is work to do and contributions still to make,” she said. “I would continue my support of the arts, cultural events, affordable housing, downtown enhancement, environmental issues, quality of life and lifestyles for all of us.” Another veteran, Wesly Graham, has announced that he will be running for a position on Cranbrook’s city council. He has relocated to Cranbrook after taking a job in MP David Wilks’ office. “I have no comment at this time.

John Kettle still isn’t 100 per cent certain he is stepping aside. “For the past twelve years I have on the occasion of each election voiced my thoughts about not running,” he said. “I have done this four times and four times I have been a successful candidate for office. I am now 67 years old, rounder than Jabba the Hut and have trouble driving at night, especially over the Salmo-Creston summit. “In consultation with my wife, family, grandkids (nine) and my doctor, I have been advised I may want to think about smelling the roses before I begin pushing up daisies. That being said, Oct. 10, 2014 is the last day I can file for this election. So, in all honesty, I am working on my political ‘bucket list’ and hope to have it completed before that date so I won’t be tempted to file again. We’ll see you on the 11th of October for the answer.” Two-term Area C director Larry Binks has confirmed his intention to run again on Nov. 15. “I enjoy what I am doing and I have projects on the go that I would like to see to fruition,” he said. Among those projects, he said, are creating a sustainable Creston Valley Wildlife Interpretation Centre plan, completing the Nicks Island water system and helping the community trails group establish trails in Area C. “I have great support from my constituents and I enjoy the interaction, especially with the agricultural community.” Area A director Garry Jackman also wants to stay on the job for another four years. “I am still enjoying the work and I believe I have been able to assist in many successes,” he said.

Last week my heart melted when had been a school teacher, and I received a photo on my iPhone of would soon after become the commy five-year-old granddaughter munity’s kindergarten teacher, but standing outside of school. Her first she was not an advocate of teaching day of kindergarten and she looked kids to read before they went to so grown up, not to mention tired after a night of sleepless excitement. Then, a couple of days later, I stopped to chat with a group of picketing teachers, and the sadness set in. Not just for teachers, who want to be back at work, or kids, who want to be in Lorne Eckersley school, or parents, many of whom are scrambling to find school, believing it would only lead adequate care for their children, but to boredom for the child who was for those first-day memories, which ahead of others. We had lots of will eventually be made, but with a books and were read to a lot, bittersweetness because they didn’t though, so reading and writing happen as anticipated. would come quickly and easily. I can When I was a kid in Calgary kindergartens weren’t part of the public still remember the frustrations brought on by the endless repetitiveschool system. They were organized ness of our first grade primer. See by communities and my clearest memory was of learning the German Spot Run was entertaining for about 30 seconds, I think. version of O Christmas Tree. How But starting into school was about exciting and exotic to be singing in much more than classroom learning another language. Somehow, O (from our positions in 28 or so oneTannenbaum just sounds better. piece wood desks with inkwell holes The first day of school is the real and a big book drawer, all facing the deal, though. As I looked at that teacher and never to be moved out photo of Quinn I couldn’t help but of their rows). There was the thrill of think back to my first day at Terrace meeting new kids who had either Road Elementary School. We lived moved into the neighbourhood over less than two blocks away, so there the summer or who lived far enough were no buses involved. In fact, away that we hadn’t run into them there were no kids who came to as we roamed a several-block radius school by bus — that was pretty around our homes. much a foreign concept. My first Since those formative years I grade teacher lived only a few doors have always been fascinated with away from us and she was wonderful. But I remember clearly the sense the way we were able to organize our activities. Before school, during of letdown I felt when we were put lunch hour, after school and at to work folding paper airplanes on recess, there were always games that first day. Not that making airplanes wasn’t fun, but I was there to going on, few or none organized by learn to read and write and I wanted teachers or other adults. The soccer to get on with it.

were signed out or marbles pulled from our pockets and we just got to it. For our scrub softball games the first three kids to touch home base were batters, and the next three would pitch, catch and play first base. When you made an out, you went to the outfield, then gradually worked your way back as subsequent batters were put out. Marbles were a nearmiraculous experience. The first day of marble season (always in spring) just seemed to happen. One day no one was playing marbles and on the next the field was full of players. Marble-rich kids, who had boulders or steelies, dug little holes in the ground, set a treasure in front and started calling out, “Hit it in the pot, you get it!” Soon lineups would form of players who wanted their turn. Of course the kid with the treasure kept the marbles from unsuccessful shots. It’s that schoolyard play that makes me wary of home schooling. We learned so many valuable skills when a couple hundred of us gathered on those fields and the tarmac in front of the doors. Girls brought their skipping ropes or chalk to draw games on the pavement, boys argued about who was on which team, small groups stood and repeated jokes from the previous night’s Red Skelton Show or relived the Maple Leafs win over the Canadiens. Adults, just like in the Charlie Brown comic strip, were rarely to be seen, and almost never to organize. I get the same thrill when I drive past Adam Robertson Elementary School when school is in. That hive of activity is a healthy thing. Let’s hope we see its return soon. Lorne Eckersley is the publisher of the Creston Valley Advance.

All should join election process To the Editor: Bonjour, ladies and gentlemen of Creston. I wish to share with you my political and personal philosophy regarding a few topics that should prove to be most informative. I consider myself to be a “workingclass conservative” who is also well educated, and I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others, especially when it comes to astronomy, history, science, physics, geology, economics, world events, religion and, of course, politics. I am also very sentimental, compassionate, spiritual and possess a warm heart. For me personally, I draw inspiration from my two favourite world leaders of the 1980s, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. Their brand of conservatism still shapes and influences today’s world for the better. With our federal election coming up next year, it is important that everyone becomes involved in the political process — in particular, more women, First Nations and young people, because they will become the future decision makers of Canada. I must admit, though, the Liberals, New Democrats and Greens do have some interesting ideas on how to govern this lovely country of ours, and perhaps someday we could all work together in harmony for the

greater good of every man, woman and child. In conclusion, it is important in the post-9-11 world to maintain a positive attitude, be optimistic, and have faith and hope. However, it is also imperative that we remain constantly vigilant against any extremist ideology that attempts to undermine Canadian values or brainwash people’s minds. In the long run, the terrorists, with their fanatical beliefs, which have absolutely nothing to do with Islam, will lose big time! Allan Clement Creston

‘One world government’ a big task To the Editor: (Open letter to Creston Jehovah’s Witnesses) After one letter plus a phone call to your Kingdom Hall requesting that you cease sending mail and invitations to my mailbox, both in vain, I decided to respond to your last invite, mainly to listen to a speaker talk of “one world government” and how it could happen at this public event. This would be quite an undertaking. Didn’t some guy try this about 2,000 years ago and the Romans didn’t like his politics so they nailed him up to a tree and left him there? Does someone want to take a shot at this again? I would suggest that the world par-

I really think you people should be careful with this one government thing, because if Prime Minister Harper gets wind of it, he’s liable to start charging you people property tax on your land and building. Michael Bunn Creston

Gleaners welcomes volunteers To the Editor: As fall approaches, we Creston Valley Gleaners Society volunteers find ourselves victims of our own success. The snowbirds will soon be heading south and predictably in the retirement age group, in which many of us fall, there are those who must leave for health reasons. We simply do not have enough new volunteers for what we consider a most worthy endeavour. Ask any of the store’s staff, and they all say the same thing: how much they enjoy the work, it’s challenges and the camaraderie that benefits all of us. Many have volunteered here for five to 10 years or more. Please consider donating at least four hours per week. Come and see what we do behind the scenes and what community projects we support. It really is amazing. Jean Partington Riverview

Do not slander others

This precept is about cultivating and encouraging respectful speech. It’s about refraining from gossip that alienates us from ourselves and from others. At the level of national and provincial politics, it’s about not depending on attack ads to garner votes. Slander often causes pain for others and divisiveness in the community. This precept provides a clear path to understanding the roots of harmful speech. The sixth precept encourages us to be non-judgmental. This does not mean that we blind ourselves to the harmful behaviors that we see in others. We have a positive obligation to point out harmful behavior. Constructive open-minded criticism based in a true desire to reduce harm can be healthy. However, criticism that attacks others and is narrow-minded is based in selfishness, vanity and arrogance. This is a challenging precept because we value the communion we share with others through talk about family and friends. So, on the one hand, we have the pleasure of communicating with others, and on the other, the destructive power of words when we talk about the faults of people we know and love. We might ratio-

nalize that it is important to share information about another ’s faults. And sometimes this is true. But we must be very careful here, and behave with deliberation and deep consider-

ation. For example, we might tell ourselves that we are acting to protect our friends if we have discovered that someone has lied or acted in some other harmful way. But still, to pass this information along indiscriminately damages all concerned. Our words could reduce that person’s potential for rehabilitation into community. And really, aren’t we just demonstrating our own willingness to harm? Not criticizing others is a house rule at the Creston zendo because it maintains social harmony at our place of practice. This harmony strengthens our spiritual training. We avoid idle chatter and gossip because it has little

value and its aim is often to spread rumors. We interpret this precept as advice to refrain from saying anything about anyone who is not present. Even if we we are not saying “critical” things about someone, our comments often point out the shortcomings of another or question the value of something they have done. We have found that we do the least harm it is best to notice our opinions about others, and let them go. Before we speak, we should first question the benefits of our intended words. Conversation should not come at the personal expense of another. A loving community is a community that is based in trust. It holds each member to be precious and sacred. Careless talk violates and diminishes this sacredness. Suggested practice: For the next two weeks, when you find a person's name coming out of your mouth, pause and ask yourself, “Is it truly necessary to say what I was going to say?” Be mindful of this precept by bringing awareness to each conversation where you are about to speak of the faults of another. Kuya Minogue is the resident teacher at Creston’s ZenWords Zen Centre. For more information, she can be reached at 250-428-6500.

tion rights, or simply because it is what’s expected. There is an underlying idea of “goodness” or “doing it right”. I, personally, don’t like the idea of being bound to another person by the law with an ancient religious tradition. But it’s all about preference. If you want to say some vows and make a huge legal and personal commitment, that’s fine. You do you. If you want to marry to get the recognition/validation of your religion, also fine. But my point is: Marriage is steadily becoming more about fulfilling social expectations, and less about love and commitment. Okay, so maybe you argue that marriage is about love and commitment, that its entire purpose is to join people who are so devoted to each other that they are willing to make this kind of legal agreement. Why, then, do people care so much who is getting married? If marriage is about love, why do people give a flying frack if the couple is same-sex, or if there are more than two people getting married? Does it hurt their feelings? Like I said, marriage is (or should be) all about personal preference. I personally see marriage as unnecessary and only about fulfilling social duties. I also am not religious, and don’t need to marry for land or livelihood. So why am I concerned about marriage equality? Because if marriage is all it’s cracked up to be, it shouldn’t exclude certain kinds of people and ways of life. Closedmindedness to different kinds of marriage, such as polygyny, polyandry and same-sex marriage, shows how marriage has evolved to be more about traditions and what others think than about love and commitment. In the beginning, marriage was about practicalities, control and religion. Although monogamy is the most common today, same-sex marriage and polygamy have been around just as long. The increasing number of divorces shows that marriage is just not working, and is obviously built on a shallow foundation. What is this foundation? The sole intent is to please others. Marriage has become superficial, and people have therefore been more closedminded to marriage equality. Marriage has become simply about fitting the mould, the white dress and the romantic aesthetic of purity and “love”. LoRae Blackmore is entering Grade 12 at Prince Charles Secondary School.
