Valley-wide fire service

proposed BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

In a scene reminiscent of Groundhog Day, three local fire chiefs have proposed a move toward formation of a Creston Valley fire protection service, to be formed under the Town of Creston umbrella. “For the last five years our fire departments have been discussing a valley-wide service where rural areas would contract with the Town to fold us in with the Town of Creston Fire Department,” CanyonLister fire chief Glen Guthrie said at Tuesday’s Creston Valley Services Committee meeting. “We feel there is a disconnect with the regional district and its fire chief.” RDCK fire chief Terry Swann and Area B director John Kettle dismissed a similar proposal when Guthrie and his colleagues presented the proposal more than three years ago. Dayle MacRae, chief of the WynndelLakeview Fire Department, echoed Guthrie’s sentiments. “There is a disconnect with the fire chief (Swann) and we don’t get good value from the RDCK,” he said. “Our ‘automatic aid’ is working and provides better value for the dollar.” Kettle cautioned the meeting, saying “That laundry needs to be washed separately,” but agreed that “operational efficiency makes it better for all fire services in the Valley. Our fire protection agreement with the Town is a great deal for Erickson, and now it also works for Arrow Creek, which is also covered by the Canyon-Lister and Wynndel-Lakeview

fire departments. “I don’t think you will find any of us are going to be opposed to looking at this. It increases our ability to attract volunteers and train them. This is a great request, frankly,” he said. Kettle asked RDCK’s new chief administrative officer Stuart Horn “what format is needed to enter into contract with the Town of Creston and still keep our assets (buildings, trucks and equipment) in the regional district?” Horn said the easiest path is to transfer all assets to the Town. “But that is a way down the road—it would likely have to go to referendum after a public consultation process” indicates “that they agree there are increases in efficiency.” “The big thing is public consultation up front to see if they agree with the chiefs’ proposal.” Area A director Garry Jackman commented that the change removes some

control from residents. “This is different because now if voters are dissatisfied with their service they can vote out the director in the next election,” he said. “They can’t do that with a contract. It’s a subtle difference, but it is still different.” A portion of Area C goes to referendum in November to determine if voters want to contract with the Town of Creston for fire protection services to West Creston and portions of the Creston Flats. Town manager Lou Varela said there is much work to be done, but the Town of Creston is prepared to discuss the chiefs’ proposal. “There are a lot of implications, including the transfer of assets, etc. further down the road,” she said. Mayor Ron Toyota spoke in favour of the process. “Let’s get the ball rolling,” he said. Kettle made a motion to direct RDCK and Town of Creston staff to produce a

report, including a time line, on how the valley-wide system can become a reality. The motion carried unanimously. Kettle also brought up the issue of the sprinkler protection unit, a piece of firefighting equipment purchased to help fight interface fires in areas where developed property abuts to forest lands. “It was bought by fundraising and contributions from the Town and Areas A, B and C. It is not an RD asset,” he said. Guthrie said the trailer, the bulk of whose cost was covered by Canyon-Lister Fire Protect Society calendar sales, is stored at his firehall. While not actually owned by the RDCK its license is registered under the regional district for insurance purposes. Kettle moved to transfer the trailer to the Town of Creston “because it has never been an RD asset.” “I don’t see a problem with this,” Horn said. The motion passed.

It has become a tradition for members of the Creston Valley Thunder Cats Junior B hockey team to participate in a food drive for the Gleaners Food Bank. This year was no exception as players donned their jerseys and canvassed for donations. “Their efforts are very much appreciated,” said Dorathy Pfeifer, a Gleaners volunteer. Delivery of items collected was made last Friday, along with nearly $900 in cash, that will be used to supplement Food Bank stocks. Pictured in uniform (l to r) are Thunder Cats captain Marcel Fuchs, and alternate captains Connor Ward and Connor Kidd. Gleaners volunteers (l to r) Doreen Lowe, Margaret Adams, Iva Schultz, Dorathy Pfeifer and Linda Rickards were on hand to take delivery of the goods. As winter nears, the Food Bank welcomes donations of cash and non-perishable items. Every little bit helps.

Buddy, a 14-year-old family pet, was a happy camper when he was rescued after being trapped in a canyon during a recent day-fishing trip. After falling down into the canyon Buddy was unable to make it back up due to do the difficult terrain. Fortunately Ann Marling came to the rescue with appropriate gear and Buddy was brought up safely, to the relief of his owner, Tony Denis.

Music fans are in for a treat on Friday, October 17 when popular musician Steve Bell performs on his Pilgrimage tour. Bell has been performing since he was 8, having been taught to play guitar by his father, a prison chaplain at the federal Drumheller penitentiary. He played in a trio in the 1980s, then turned to solo performances in 1989. He has since released 17 CDs in a 25-year span and played dates with symphony orchestras throughout North America. In 1997 he won a Juno for Best Gospel Album, a feat he repeated in 2000. For his advocacy work for the less fortunate, Bell was awarded a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. With a huge fan base eager to hear his songs and stories based on Christian scripture and themes, Bell tours regularly. A four-CD release entitled Pilgrimage is now on the market. Tickets for the Creston concert are available at Home Hardware or online at stevebell.com.

Pastor uses allegory as teaching tool The Garden People published at the urging of his son BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor Nearly 30 years ago, Ron Benty created Solum, a fantasy world inhabited by anthropomorphic vegetables, wrote a story about their adventures and then… let it sit for 28 years. His recently self-published novel, The Garden People, follows the adventures of carrots Clifford Rootabert and Humley Smallstock — along with pumpkins Roald and Woald, and the Hammericks, a cornstalk — as they search for the sacred Book trapped in the clutches of Solomon Growhard and his onion renegades, resulting a battle of good and evil. For Benty, pastor of the Wynndel Community Church, the novel offered the opportunity to express his beliefs through allegory, offering younger readers an exciting romp while educating them spiritually. “I felt I could talk about anything without being dry and moralistic,” he said. “What it was was not the idea of people neglecting the Bible, but the renegade guys were changing it. That, to me, is more dangerous. … The other vegetables aren’t perfect, but they’re representing it honestly.” Benty was born on Vancouver Island, eventually moving with his parents to Golden. He moved back to the island, joining a church that held services in a rented rec centre room. Seven years after finishing high school, Benty attended the University of Toronto, and graduated with a master of divinity degree. He became a Presbyterian minister in Prince Albert, Sask., and later Montreal, Que., for five years. After that, he and his wife of 28 years, Gwen, and their three sons moved to Creston, where he became pastor of St. Stephen’s Presbyterian Church in Creston. He left the denomination in October 2007 to become pastor at the Wynndel Community Church. At the urging of his middle son, Morgan, Benty finally self-published The Garden People

this summer, giving it a “childlike spirit” by enlisting 15-year-old artist James Troughton to create the cover illustration, featuring Clifford and Humley, and several inside, including vicious blackberries and a pipe-smoking earthworm. “I didn’t want someone professional because I didn’t want it to look professional,” he said. “I wanted it to resonate with kids.” In creating the characters, Benty took inspiration from popular characters — beasts and animals — in Walt Disney animated films, which had a lasting impact. When it came to appreciating nature, he said, “Bambi did a lot more for me than environmental guys walking down the road with placards.” And even more than animals, vegetables as characters come across as intensely vulnerable. “They can go rotten,” he laughed. “They’re not as big as they think they are in perspective to the world.” Even so, they’re resilient, whether climbing rock faces, exploring tunnels or taking on Growhard’s renegade forces in small skirmishes or a Bible-inspired pitched battle for the Book. “To me, it represents spiritual warfare,” said Benty. The project has been a family affair from the beginning, from Benty’s mother-in-law typing out the original manuscript in the 1980s to his son’s push for the book’s publication, and some family members might recognize themselves in its pages — his sister, Julia, for example, makes an appearance as a tomato. And while he’s tossing around a few ideas for a sequel, Benty hopes that his book will offer readers a hint at the simplicity of biblical teachings. “I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out what the Good Samaritan is,” he said. “I think God left us with enough that if we’re like the vegetables, we’ll make it.” The Garden People is available at Amazon.ca, Amazon.com and FriesenPress.com.

Council gets independent police investigation primer Chief Civilian Director Richard Rosenthall visits Creston to explain how office established in 2012 works Creston Town Council got a first-hand report on the workings of the Independent Investigation Office of BC at Tuesday’s regular meeting. Chief Civilian Director Richard Rosenthal appeared at the meeting to explain how his office deals with investigations into police related incidents involving death or serious harm. Rosenthal said he has led investigations in four cases involving police in the Kootenays, two of which were in Creston. “In one case the officer in question was exonerated by our investigation,” he said. “In another, involving a bar fight, our findings were forwarded to Crown Counsel, which determined that criminal charges would not be laid against the officer.” Rosenthal says referring an incident to Crown is not a recommendation that charges should be laid. “We are different than police, who are making a recommendation for charges when they refer cases to Crown,” Rosenthal said. “We are obligated to forward our findings on any incident in which we are unable to exonerate a police officer.” Rosenthal was appointed as BC’s first Chief Civilian Director of the newly formed IIO in January of 2012. The IIO was created with the support of police chiefs across the province after some high profile incidents, including the death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski, created public concern about police investigating colleagues. He previously spent 15 years as a Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney, where he prosecuted felonies including homicides, inveswith Dr. Joanne Lih tigated and prosecuted high-profile financial crimes as well as public officials, judges and Tuesday October 14 and October 28 police officers.

That Arabs are no more afraid of our threats and bombs and technology than the North Vietnamese were. They seem to have other plans, for good or ill, and on some days you can get a strange feeling—despite the current chaos in the price pattern of O.P.E.C. oil—that we are not really included. They are looking beyond ‘The American Century,’ as Henry Luce called it, and even the Islamic calendar put the year 2001 less than a dog’s life away from today.” The column ends with a fascinating observation. “Col. Khadafy might be savage and treacherous and crazy, as Ronald Reagan says, but even our closest allies enjoy doing business with him, and he will probably be around for a long time, unless Reagan can have him killed.” I can’t help but wonder what Thompson, who killed himself in 2005, would say if he was around to witness the continuing saga in the Middle East, where yet another “coalition of the willing” is gearing up to tackle Islamic State/ISIS/ISIL in Iraq, at least to start with. I think he might have taken one look at Canada’s involvement and observed that Prime Minister Harper is heading into an election campaign and that in the need to set himself apart from other party leaders, is positioning himself so he can say to the Canadian people, “Who do you want leading your country in times of crisis?” and Thompson might have concluded, “If you want to be seen as a leader in times of crisis, the first step is to create a crisis.”

Open thinking needed for vacancies To the Editor: What are you experiencing with the obvious shop vacancies in our downtown? I’d like to encourage you to reflect with me upon how you feel about seeing vacant storefronts and what thoughts are coming up for you as a result. I ask you to do this with me because when we are mindful and thoughtful, we are aware of what we are projecting into the circumstance. You might think that your singular opinion is not going to have any impact but if you combine your opinion with like opinions it becomes the reality, even if it is not based on facts. It is easy to feel sad when we hear of shops shutting down and to see empty storefronts, presuming it is this way because there wasn’t enough business to go around. This thought leads to the next one, which could be that there is something wrong with our town. Then we make further speculations without really taking the time to be thoughtful about where these ideas are coming

from. If we admit to caring, we would make inquiries into what is really happening. All meaningful relationships have been developed through caring consideration and the willingness to understand. Often the easy way out of something that we presume to be unpleasant is to pretend it doesn’t matter. Or if we can’t ignore it, then it is easy for us to go into blame and then helplessness. What kind of message are we sending out then? What if we didn’t view empty storefronts as a symptom of an illness? What if we could notice empty storefronts in a state of caring inquisitiveness? Wouldn’t being open to inquiry make our community more available for possibilities to arise instead of limiting our town to perceptions that sound like it has a kind of terminal illness (as I have heard some people proclaim within their hopeless state)? I usually begin my inquiries by looking at some ideas I have heard while also looking at my own speculations. I

do this with an open heart and mind. It is kind of like gently deconstructing a story. Then I can make edits to a story in a way that is more serving and is founded in information that is closer to the truth. I then remind myself to remain open to a story evolving, while noting that in reality I am creating my own story, which may not be the same as others’. I love our community too much to place my sole story on to it. As one person, I have limitations. I want more for our community than one version. This is why it is important for me to make inquiries with others. There are lots of stories out there related to the circumstance of empty storefronts, some are attached to truths and others attached to repeated misunderstandings. So let’s “reflect instead of mirror”. Please join me in making caring considerate inquiries about what is happening while being available to experience a more meaningful fulfilling relationship with our town. Debby Johnson Wynndel

“War smells but it sells”

To the Editor: The world has been in constant rumblings of unease ever since the war to end all wars, followed by the West’s atomic attack in another war to end all wars. Unfortunately, we have not seen a day without a war since then or before. Since the formation of the U.S. after its conflict with England, when peace threatened to break out, the U.S. obliged by intelligence-inspired regime change exercises or some other military intervention seeking to establish democracy in the following countries (some more than once): Angola, Albania, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Bolivia, Cuba, Chili, China, Columbia, Cambodia, Dominican Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Grenada, Guam, Guatemala, Greece, Haiti, Honduras, Iraq, Iran, Indonesia, Korea, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Liberia, Laos, Macedonia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Oman, Puerto Rica, Pakistan, Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Samoa,, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay Virgin Islands, Vietnam, Yemen and Zaire. While the recent gruesome executions by ISIS (Islamic State, formerly

Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham) are reminiscent of the Christian crusades, where the Christian soldiers proudly waded up to their knees in Mohammedan blood, I wonder how many heads and limbs were severed by the recent bombings and terror attacks in the middle east by the western powers, including leadership by the United Nations and NATO, not to mention the continuing drone strikes which continue to slaughter innocents in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Yes, these terrorists want to commit atrocities on the invading western hordes who are killing their people and stealing their oil, but it is difficult to reasonably condemn them since they consider themselves as being terrorized by the west. And the U.S. is not alone. U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron seemed positively jubilant when his Parliament voted to join the air strikes, and commented, with relish, that this would not be a short war. Our prime minister was no slouch either, and eager to offer Canada’s military might in this oppres-

sive enterprise, shamelessly playing deputy to Sheriff Obama. It seems that the rumblings of war are louder than ever, and the prognosis is an increase in tit-for-tat terrorism rather than a de-escalation. What a triumph for the military industrial complex! And what a stimulus for floundering economies! War smells but it sells, and there is a lineup for the coalition of the killing. However, there is hope and an easy solution that may emerge when these powers become weary of the senseless slaughter. Perhaps the UN could suggest it. If this coalition is serious about achieving peace, all they have to do is withdraw all military installations and armaments to within their own borders. Only when they are invaded can they defend themselves. In the meantime, the belligerents will have to deal with themselves in their own countries without interference, and may soon follow this wonderful example. Let’s hope! Larry Ewashen Creston

This precept is about sharing both wealth and wisdom. Zen Buddhists accept that we are on this planet to be of service to others. To do this service we must realize that all possessions, including our understanding of the teachings of wisdom and compassion, are simply things that have no value unless they are part of that service to others. For Zen Buddhists, wealth is not something we should keep, hold on to or value highly for itself. It seems natural to try to turn a profit from every human exchange. We are often trying to get something: money, admiration, love, recognition, acknowledgement, connection. Much of this is just an ingrained habit that arises out of fear of doing something 100 per cent. Imagine loving someone 100 per cent. Imagine giving something with no thought of getting something back. When we give with hope of getting something back, we are living at only 70 per cent or 60 per cent. This precept is also about not looking at the world with envy. “I want a new bike!” “I want a bigger house!” These are the cries of immaturity. Mature people value what they have: the small things, the simple and costfree things all around us that make life meaningful. But they also see the transient

nature of material things and know that attaining possessions is a hollow achievement. A common mistake in beginning Zen

their stinginess is rooted in entrenched preferences. At this point they begin their work with the teaching that “the great way is not difficult for those who stop picking and choosing.” Then they can meet whatever arises in their lives without grasping or pushing anything away. In other words, they can “go with the flow.” Greed has taken over much of our country. Our great northern forests are being diminished by logging, fossil fuel extraction and transportation faster than any other forests in the world. Profit is what drives our policy and our economy. In such an atmosphere, everyone is vulnerable, trust is eroded, and the health of the planet is threatened. This is why greed is considered to be a poison. The antidote to greed is generosity. This precept teaches us to catch ourselves being greedy and then automatically correct that with generosity. Suggested practice: Notice when wanting arises in your awareness. Do you need it? If not, let it go. Kuya Minogue is the resident teacher at Creston’s ZenWords Zen Centre. For more information, she can be reached at 250-4286500.

students is that they want to get something from their practice. They want to improve, they want enlightenment, they want approval. They are so focused on what they can get in the future that they miss the wonder of the present moment. In other words, they have not yet learned to let go of the thought that they will get something back from their practice. Once students realize their error in wanting to get something out of practice, they can begin to work with their stinginess. They have taken the first step — realizing where they are in relation to stinginess — so they are free to discover that
