Cresteramics, market unveil murals BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Two murals destined to brighten up the Cook Street location of the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market were unveiled last week, fittingly on Oct. 16, World Food Day. The murals were a joint project between Cresteramics Society and the farmers’ market, painted by Cresteramics clients Claire Lemaire and Laila Currie, who added colour to a design by artist and Creative Fix owner Brandy Hunt. Titled Homegrown Heart, the murals were created in memory of Beth Kastelan

and Alcide Lemaire — respectively, a former Cresteramics board member and father of one of the painters — and the project was a first for the two groups. “The two organizations have never worked together before, so I see this as a beginning of an important partnership,” said farmers’ market manager Comer. “We were able to pool our resources, our people, our energy and time for something that benefits the whole community.” The murals project was sponsored by Telus, Columbia Basin Trust, Home Hardware Building Centre and Pyramid Building Supplies, and couldn’t have

come at a better time. “There’s been a need for a long time for something for the kids over the summer,” said project co-ordinator Jesse Willicome. Along with the painters, Willicome and Comer, Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall was on hand for the unveiling, along with Cresto and Crestorina, gnomes she picked up at the Cresteramics shop. “We’re going to be able to celebrate local art, we’re going to be able to celebrate local food at the farmers’ market, and it’s all coming together right here,” she said.

With a large number of candidates running for positions on Creston town council, three forums have been scheduled to help voters decide on their choices. A “speed candidating” event organized by the Nelson-Creston Green Party will be held at the Creston and District Community Complex at 7 p.m. Nov. 1. Candidates for town council and Regional District of Central Kootenay Area B have been invited to rotate around tables where small groups of voters can ask questions while sitting faceto-face. “A new style of candidate forum that is interactive, informative, up close and fun!” is how Kaitlin Viers, one of the organizers, describes it. The Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce has rented Prince Charles Theatre for two nights. See FORUMS, page 2

Lions celebrate 75 years of building community BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

“The world is a better place because of Lions, and it needs more,” said Gary D’Orazio, an Eagle, Idaho, resident who was in town to help the Creston Lions Club celebrate its 75th anniversary. It takes the former international director only a few minutes to make a convincing case. Lions Club International is the world’s largest service club organization, with 1.35 million members in 46,000 clubs located in 219 countries around the world. “Our members do whatever is needed to help our communities,” he said. “We are into everything — sometimes too much!” Founded in 1917, the Lions Club is best known for its work in fighting blindness, but that mission has expanded to include health issues, such as obesity, D’Orazio said. “And we get involved with kids wherever we can, however we can.” He has been a Lion since 1980 when he and his family resided in Elko, Nev., except for several years when they moved to Oregon. A longtime affiliation with the Albertsons supermarket chain meant the D’Orazio family moved around a lot, and a Lions membership helped him meet new, community-minded people wherever he went. The work taken on by Lions clubs is often subtle, he said. “We don’t go for landmarks, we go where we are needed. We are not high profile,” he said. “There is no issue that we wouldn’t address.

Operation Christmas Child boxes ready to fill BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Christmas may be more than two months away, but it’s not too early to think about being part of a merry Christmas for a child in one of more than a dozen countries by contributing to Operation Christmas Child. “The whole purpose is just to show the love of Christ,” said Grace Christian Fellowship Pastor Stephen Schneider, whose church (formerly Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church) is organizing the program in Creston. Run by Samaritan’s Purse, a non-denominational evangelical Christian organization that has provided spiritual and physical aid around the world since 1970, Operation Christmas Child involves filling shoebox-sized containers with items purchased locally for a boy or girl in the 2-4, 5-9 or 10-14 age ranges. Operation Christmas Child was started in 1990, and to date has distributed over 100 million shoebox gifts worldwide.

From page 3 Currently, he said, Creston Lions are working on reconditioning the old Creston fire department mobile kitchen, which will be used at events, especially “for our famous breakfasts.” “It’s an old army truck,” he said. “Rock solid and plenty of life left in it.” It was the Lions club that started the Creston Valley Blossom Festival, Johnston

“It’s something that will help them and bless them, but also something they will enjoy,” he said. Boxes can now be picked up at Pharmasave, Your Dollar Store with More, Creston Card and Stationery,

Extra Foods, Erickson Elementary School, Creston Baptist Church and Grace Christian Fellowship. Once filled, they must be dropped off by Nov. 20 at Pop Shoes, Creston Baptist Church and Grace Christian Fellowship, the latter of which is hosting the Assante Children’s Choir’s Sound of Hope tour that evening, featuring children from Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda. Although none of those countries are being served by Operation Christmas Child this year, the concert and shoebox project combine to help people in the Creston Valley keep the Third World in mind as they enter the holiday season. In addition to the 13 countries on this year’s Operation Christmas Child list, Ukraine will also receive 20,000 boxes, offering hope to children suffering from that country’s unrest. “They just need hope, to know that someone cares for them, someone loves them,” said Schneider.

said, and the club remains actively involved to this day. Women have been included in Lions since 1987, a move forward that Johnston and D’Orazio agree has helped the club thrive. Locally and internationally, clubs are holding their own in a time when other service organizations are struggling and even disappearing. “We have a lot of new faces,” Johnston said. “There have been several new additions recently.” Members get plenty of hands-on opportunities. The

Creston club has just completed a restoration project at the Highway 3A viewpoint on the way to Wynndel, which they “inherited” from the Kiwanis Club. “And we are great supporters of the TAPS (Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors),” he said. Like D’Orazio, Johnston said that Lions members’ strength is not in promoting the club or its works. “We are the worst organization in the world at blowing our own horns,” he laughed.

Last year, Canadians filled 664,000 boxes. Last year, Creston Valley residents filled just over 200 boxes, and Schneider is aiming for 300 this year, stuffed with toys, hygiene items, school supplies and treats.

“They just need hope, to know that someone cares for them, someone loves them.”

MLA says legislature session off to rocky start BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall said that the provincial government does not seem well prepared for the rare fall session, which opened on Oct. 13. “The whole purpose of the session was to introduce the liquid natural gas (LNG) tax regulations, which were promised a year ago,” she said while visiting the Advance last week. “Now they still aren’t quite ready — there’s been nothing in the first week.” Puzzling, she said, is that any mention of becoming a debt-free province, reducing tax burdens or establishing a prosperity fund has been abandoned, when only a year ago anticipated LNG revenues were being promoted as a financial windfall for the province. “Now they are talking to Petronas” — a Malaysia-based company that recently said the

investment might not make financial sense — “which wants to bring its own foreign workers,” she said. “This was supposed to be a job creation benefit for B.C.”

“The government has promised consultation but nothing is happening, despite the Union of BC Municipalities and members of their own party wanting change.”

MLA Michelle Mungall on child support policy While the NDP supports LNG development, there need to be environmental regulations to ensure protection of water, she said.

“We need to learn how to be as sustainable as possible, and we need regulations to ensure that. Development is needed to provide B.C. jobs while protecting land, water and air, and providing fair revenues from the resource.” Mungall also promised to continue to press the government to reverse a policy that claws back child support payments from the spouse with custody. “It affects people in Creston and all across the province,” she said. “The government has promised consultation but nothing is happening, despite the Union of BC Municipalities and members of their own party wanting change.” The clawbacks total an estimated $17 million annually, less than one per cent of the budget for the Ministry of Social Development. “It’s the kids’ money, not the parents,” she said. “And these are kids that are going to school hungry, disrupting

shortly before the brief meeting concluded. Mayor Ron Toyota and Coun. Joanna Wilson are the only incumbents seeking re-election. Toyota invited candidates to introduce themselves during question period, and Bradford took the opportunity to chastise him for mumbling during the meeting. “It is very difficult to hear all of you from here and you can be damned sure that won’t be a problem when I am sitting up there,” she said. •A $500 discretionary grant was approved for the Creston Valley Hospice Society. Coun. Judy Gadicke expressed concern that the grant was in conflict with a policy not to provide operating funds to organizations, but voted in favour after

finance director Steffan Klassen said no such policy was in place. •Council directed staff to conduct a southeast drainage basin study that will form a basis for future storm drainage systems. Engineering manager Colin Farynowski said that the increasing frequency and severity of short rainstorms make it important for drainage system improvements to be designed accordingly. Part of the cost will be covered by a $10,000 Columbia Basin Trust grant and the rest is in the 2014 budget, Farynowski and Klassen said. •Council directed Creston Fire Rescue Chief Mike Moore to report back in 2015 regarding a proposal for a fire service that would protect the entire Creston Valley.

with the provincial government, are going to stand up and shout in protest? Are the smaller, earnest groups that spend every nickel raised to fulfill their mandate going to want to draw attention to themselves? Not if they are smart. Why? Because a society’s directors have a financial stake on all this. Directors of non-profits have a liability for what happens in their organizations, and that liability is also financial. What happens to these groups when directors start to sense that they could end up in court and face fines and legal costs? And how many of these groups have the financial resources to conduct a legal defense against what could be a frivolous action brought about by a person or corporation with money, for no more reason than to wreak havoc? Couldn’t happen? You can’t foresee an angry husband objecting to the advice his spouse got from a women’s centre filing an action? You can’t see rabid free enterpriser filing an action about a society that sells used items in competition with the private sector? I said at the outset that this might well be a straw dog proposal, designed to create unease or even outrage, so that another, less blatant proposal can be slid in to replace it. Either way, the government wins. If it doesn’t sense there is sufficient outrage with the initial white paper proposal, it can simply pass it into legislation. If there is outrage, the public might be sufficiently pacified by changes that could still stifle the activities of some societies. Lorne Eckersley is the publisher of the Creston Valley Advance.

Community donations appreciated To the Editor: As a volunteer in Creston Special Olympics, I would like to thank all the residents of Creston who supported our annual bottle drive and fundraiser. Without the support that we received from our own volunteers and those who gave of their time, Creston Special Olympics programs could not go on. The people of Creston not only gave us their bottles, cans and plastics but also generous cash donations, as well. The staff at Columbia Bottle Recycling under the direction of Dave Fowler were wonderful to work with and made our event run smoothly. Our organization in Creston boasts over 40 athletes. The programs that we organize include bowling, which is selffunded locally but relies on the organization to pay for tournaments and travel, including accommodation. The athletes in our floor hockey program have qualified for the upcoming winter games in Kamloops this February and it is your support that enables them to partake. We are offering rhythmic gymnastics, floor hockey and bowling this session, and look forward to a Halloween dance for our athletes. None of this would be possible without your support and the support of local United and Presbyterian

churches who donate the use of their halls for these events. We also owe thanks to Renee’s Roadhouse Diner, the former ABC Country Restaurant and Ricki’s All-Day Grill for all their cans and bottles, as well as Home Hardware, one of the provincial sponsors for Special Olympics.

Friends offer Honesty support for impresses pharmacist traveller

To the Editor: First, we want to make clear that we have no firsthand knowledge of what unfolded regarding the Helena Lambert case and we send our sincerest condolences to the Lambert family. Second, we want to say a few words about our friend, Mike Ramaradhya. As a family, we have known Mike for many years. He worked with us in our pharmacy and became a good friend outside of the pharmacy. Mike is deeply loyal, keenly intelligent and thoroughly ethical. As a pharmacist, he was a compassionate listener, and he is a compassionate man. We have always known him to be a consummate professional. He is well respected in and sincerely cares about his community. In short, he is a man of principle. We have the utmost respect for him and salute his many years of work and service in Creston.

To the Editor: In September, I was travelling home to Pincher Creek, Alta., from a short holiday in Nelson. I was tired and hungry, so I stopped in Creston at Tim Hortons. I ordered, paid and continued on my journey. I arrived home and heard from my mom that the Alberta Motor Association called and told her that my wallet had been left at Tim Hortons. I called Tim Hortons and was instructed to talk to a woman called Nancy. She told me not to worry and that she personally would put my wallet on the Greyhound bus. My wallet is at this time on the Greyhound bus and I am tracking it as I write this. The lesson I want to tell you is that in these times, you don’t get people like Nancy Gareau.

Precept helps actualize harmony instead of harbouring anger

This is the 15th of 16 precepts of ethical behavior that guide the thoughts, words and actions of Zen students. Anger and the harboring of ill will are poisons for individuals and communities. Even more corrosive is the harboring of ideas of revenge. Zen centre members who have conflicts or tensions with individuals or with decision-making bodies try to resolve the conflict in a spirit of honesty, humility and lovingkindness. Anger more commonly appears when we have been crossed or violated in some way, and we do not want to admit this or experience it fully. In this sense, anger is an intoxicant, a coverup for the painful hurt feelings we can’t bear to feel. Practicing this precept doesn’t require that we never be angry. That would be impossible — when the conditions for anger arise, anger inevitably appears. In practicing this precept, however, we make the effort to turn toward our anger when it arises, bearing witness to it and experiencing it fully, but not grabbing hold of it, justifying it, or acting on it. Practicing this precept will give us the confidence and the spaciousness to stop suppressing our anger — to see that

we can feel our anger and honor it fully without being consumed by it. In practicing with anger we learn to allow it to be what it is. We give it space to fully express itself in our bodies and mind, without allowing it to affect our words and actions.

Zen's-Eye View Kuya Minogue

Anger is, in the end, a marker of our weakness, not of our strength. This is why it’s so useful. Practicing with not acting from anger but simply being present with it will show the limits of its power. Anger usually flares up in the places where we are most vulnerable and powerless. The person who doubts his intelligence will get angry when someone suggests that he has made a mistake. The person who handles fear by taking control of a situation will flare into anger when they are confronted

UOTE OF THE

with an inability to control others attitudes, words and behaviours. Studying our anger shows us those places where we are brittle and defended. It points out those areas of our lives where we are weakest and most need to grow. As we practice not harbouring our anger, we come to see ourselves much more accurately and viscerally. Using our anger well, we can pinpoint our weak points, our personal narrowness, and expand there. As our practice progresses and the horizons of our personal power expand, anger arises less often and less virulently. When that happens we can begin to develop harmonious relationships that are safe from the ravages of uncontrolled anger. That is, we can actualize harmony. Suggested practice: The next time something angers you, instead of speaking or acting, observe how it affects your body and your thoughts. When the flare of anger calms down, make a calm decision about how to deal with the situation that caused your anger. Kuya Minogue is the resident teacher at Creston’s ZenWords Zen Centre.

A look at the trails on Mount Thompson

There are basically four trails on Mount Thompson and its slopes that are suitable to the tastes of most hikers. They are the Mount Thompson Rim Trail, the Sullivan Creek “trail”, the old Mount Thompson lookout Pack Trail, and the Rotary Connector Trail. Another trail used mostly by four-wheelers takes off from the Mount

Ed McMackin Thompson Forest Service Road (FSR) opposite the junction of the Sullivan Creek Trail with the FSR just before the eight-kilometre marker. This oneand-a-half-hour return meanders over an old road down the northwest shoulder of Mount Thompson through dense forest dead ending in the bush. Along the way there are a couple of viewpoints overlooking the northeast shoulder of Mount Thompson. People take an additional route through a pullout and along an old road to the north from kilometre 1 on the FSR. This trail, which may go over some private property, ends up above the CPR tracks along the Goat River, two hours return. Now back to the more popular trails. The Rim Trail, for those of you who are not familiar with it, takes off from the north peak of the Thompson range at the end of the Mount Thompson FSR and leads along the range to the south peak, identifiable by a missile-like capsule housing some electronic equipment. The route, over several humps, one having a fairly steep ascent, would probably be rated as a one-and-a-half- to two-hour hike one way. The south peak is 2,176 metres (7,139 feet) in elevation, while the north peak is lower at about 2,137 metres (7,011 feet). The view from the south peak is a 360-degree panoramic view from the Kootenay River valley

up to the tops of Idaho Peaks, Fisher and Parker, Creston Mountain to the west, Haystack Mount to the north and, on a clear day, Fisher Peak and the Rockies to the north east over near Cranbrook. The Sullivan Creek route is along an old logging road that may have been built around 1948. It takes off to the right from the FSR just below kilometre 2. It immediately crosses Sullivan Creek (no bridge) following along to the south and then swinging easterly along the north facing slope south of Sullivan Creek. After a number switchbacks and a long stretch eastward, it joins the FSR around kilometre 8. The elevation gain is about 749 metres (3,113 feet). A main feature of this trail, a much grown-in old road, is that one can hike a loop up to the end and down the road to the starting point. One could also get picked up or dropped off at the top end and still get in a good two- or three-hour hike. In good winter snow conditions, it might also make a nice ski. Somewhere near the top end of this trail, on the top side of the trail and within a kilometre of the FSR is an old concrete cistern possibly used as a water source for the earlier fire lookouts. Now for some details on the historic Pack Trail: Like the Sullivan Creek trail, it begins just below kilometre 2 on the FSR at the little pullout but takes off immediately (30 feet) to the left and up. It appears that the trail proceeds straight up but the original route, at 130 feet from the trailhead, actually goes to the right, then switchbacks to the left, crossing the apparent route, and then switchbacks to the right to continue on the original trail. See TRAILS, page 9

Trails

From page 8 The Pack Trail, a historic supply line to earlier fire lookouts, comprises only a portion, 3.2 kilometres/two miles, of the original 1930s trail. Some of the unlocated top end was obliterated by the construction of the FSR around 1958. After a number of switchbacks up the slope, above and north of Sullivan Creek, the Pack Trail connects with the Mount Thompson FSR at around 5.4 kilometres. Some hikers ascend this trail and then hike down the FSR. It is also possible, on the way down, to take the Rotary Connector Trail back to the Pack Trail, intersecting it at 1.1 kilometres/0.7 miles. Either way, the jaunt would be around three hours. Near the top of the Pack Trail there is a place to have lunch with a nice view of the valley below. The trail was originally graded for pack animals, so now is a comfortable hiking slope, thanks to 17 switchbacks. Historic aspects outside of the Pack Trail itself are remnants of the lookout telephone line and a cabin site with some stove parts. The trail passes through a shady mixed forest of large cedar, Douglas fir and giant hemlock trees. Snowberry, mock orange, mallow ninebark, Oregon grape, mountain maple, typical flowers and a few rare plants grace the trail sides and more open areas. It crosses the bottoms of several rock scree slopes topped by low

cliffs. One will come across several boulders on the trail that loosed from above since the trail was constructed in the early 1930s. The Rotary Connector Trail, at 1.1 kilometres/0.7 miles, is a new trail connecting, from near kilometre 3 on the Mount Thompson FSR with the Pack Trail. The trail head may also be located as being at the second left-hand curve past kilometre 2 on the FSR. This narrow trail, with eight switchbacks on the east portion, contours a steep slope providing, from a viewpoint, lunch spot and comfortable bench, a spectacular view of the Creston Valley. Any of these trails, except the Rim Trail, can, in a normal year, often be hiked right into November. They may also provide interesting jaunts in six inches of snow or, otherwise, perhaps, on snowshoes (except the Rotary Connector Trail). However, anytime of year, anybody using trails anywhere does so at their own risk and should take clothing, footwear, food and equipment suitable for the time of year and the place. Weather conditions can change pretty fast on the Rim Trail. Lack of enjoyment and comfort on a hike is often due to underestimating the weather and length of trip! The information about these trails is rather general, so apply accordingly. However, I hope it will be helpful. Ed McMackin is a biologist by profession but a naturalist and hiker by nature.

Fall weather perfect time to prepare for winter

The fall in Creston finds a lot of gardeners enjoying the weather outside. It is my favourite time of year in the garden. Everywhere you look, different shades of leaf colour seemingly

you have moved in off the Prairies, you may be familiar with this concept but those of you from the Coast aren’t used to gardening in a climate with dry fall weather. While outside enjoying the dry fall conditions, you can prune back most of your herbaceous perennials (plants that live from year to year but die to Davies the ground every fall). It can be nice to leave some of the grasses, sedums and such alone for now if they add to your garden’s winter architecture by catching snow on them, etc. I like to prune my roses back some in the fall if they have any height. This keeps the winter’s winds from blowing them around in the ground, and with a good mulch on the bed to protect them from the cold,

Nursery Notes Evan changing everyday. While the seasonal weather patterns change a little every year, we can still make these basic assumptions. It is very beneficial to water your trees and shrubs in for the winter. The reason we do this is that dry winter weather can cause plants’ cells to dry out and die. Especially at risk are evergreen trees and shrubs. If

they are sure to do better. I’ll reprune them correctly late next spring to encourage the right shape. As leaves fall off trees they can be collected to make an amazing compost. Some diseased leaf items are better left out of the mix because unless you plan to monitor your compost pile for just the right temperatures, the fungi and bacteria will still be there next year. As leaves fall off trees they reveal a leaf scar. It is an opening that can potentially allow some diseases to enter into your trees. Take, for instance, peach and nectarine trees, which can become infected with peach leaf curl over winter. To protect them, you should keep a thorough coverage of copper spray on them (also known as a Bordeaux mixture). Wait for the leaves to fall off before beginning your treatment if possible. Dry weather with no wind and above freezing temperatures is best; how-

ever, take what you can get. There are other things one can accomplish if the weather is less favorable. Damp weather is best for fall applications of pre-emergent herbicides for those of you with an aversion to weeding by hand. These are agents that kill seeds as they start to grow. Corn gluten meal is one some folks use in their lawns for control of broadleaf weeds like dandelion. Fall applications of fertilizers labelled “winterizer” or similar are recommended for the lawn in the fall, too. I would say the same would be good for your trees and shrubs. These fertilizers have more

potassium in them than nitrogen, so they force your plants to stop growing. While the fall season marches on there is still a good window of opportunity to plant larger trees and shrubs. Smaller plants could be subject to frost heaves later in winter, but the bigger ones have enough substance they won’t readily be pushed out of the earth. At this time of year, you can water the transplants in and not have to worry about babysitting them for the next few months. That’s all for now. Enjoy your autumn!

Prophecy

disciples, and the apostles turned to the Gentiles. The first 490 years of the 2,300 having then ended, 1810 years would remain. From AD 34, 1810 years extend to 1844. “Then,” said the angel, “shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” This prophecy proves to be accurate, telling us about Jesus and His death in the midst of the final “week” of the prophecy. Ian Cotton is the retired pastor of the Creston Seventh-day Adventist Church.

From page 9 Taking this as the starting point, there was perfect harmony in the application of all the events foretold in the explanation of that period in Daniel 9:25-27. The 70 weeks, or 490 years, were to pertain especially to the Jews. At the expiration of this period, AD 34, the nation sealed its rejection of Christ by the persecution of His
