ARES play helps students remember

East Shore scrambling to maintain health services

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

The words from one of two narrators of Blowin’ in the Wind pack a powerful emotional punch. “I wonder how many guys back out? It seemed like a great idea at the time, but now … as I prepare to leave and pack my bags, I wonder if this is right? I’m terrified. Is it wrong to be afraid to die? Maybe I’m just selfish.” ARES students were treated to a Remembrance Day production to, well, remember, on Friday as Grade 7 students took to the stage to present an all-local play, Blowin’ in the Wind. Written by their teacher, Tanya Poznikoff, the play depicts young men marching off to war and leaving their wives, girlfriends and families behind. “I have always created drama productions with my classes for Focus on Youth, assemblies and the Remembrance Day ceremony,” said Poznikoff. “Once I know the students, I try to write something with their individual talents/personalities/struggles in mind. The narration or thoughts read by the two boys are experiences I think soldiers and those left behind would feel. A couple of the thoughts were real quotes, one by Khalil Gibran and one by Jimmy Carter. See ARES, page 3

The loss last year of a four-day-a-week health nurse on the East Shore of Kootenay Lake has pushed residents to demand better services, and to get creative in caring for one another. “We have been trying to show Interior Health that there is a significant need on the East Shore, and that the split of services provided from Nelson and Creston really complicates life for our residents,” said Verna Mayers-McKenzie, who chairs the East Shore Community Health Society (EKCHS). The loss of a health nurse compounds the loss of a physician who maintained a practice in Riondel until several years ago. Now, physicians travel to the East Shore Community Health Centre in Crawford Bay from Nelson to provide clinic-based medical services on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. A health nurse travels from Nelson on an “asneeded” basis. “Outside of those office hours, we basically have very little ability to respond to emergent health needs,” said MayersMcKenzie.

Health services

From page 1 A report from subcommittee to the ESCHS describes the East Shore as a 60-kilometre-long region “stretching from Kuskanook in the south to Riondel in the north. The region contains some 2,000 permanent residents, swelling to over 4,000 in the summer months. In addition, hundreds of motorists and passengers travel through the area every day in the summer via Highway 3A and the Kootenay Lake ferry. During the winter months, Highway 3A is the alternate route for east-west traffic when the Kootenay Pass on the Crowsnest Highway is closed and, on these occasions, there are many additional people in the area.” The East Shore population has a seniors’ population significantly higher than the provincial average, and it has one the province’s lowest income levels. In an effort to determine the medical services needs of the large area, a survey was undertaken and a series of public meetings were held. “There were never fewer than 25 people in attendance and we had as many as 45,” MayersMcKenzie said. “We also had lots of mail-in and email responses, and had a much higher than normal response to the survey. There are a lot of really sad stories of what happens when medical services aren’t available.” The health society pulled in Regional District of Central Kootenay Area A director Garry Jackman and former Area A director Larry Brierley to help with its efforts, and several initiatives have been taken. “We have created a network of first responders. We used to have six volunteers in Boswell who were trained in the use of ICDs (defibrillators),” Mayers-McKenzie said. “Now, with the help of the Riondel fire department, there are now 15 more people all along the lake who are outfitted with ICDs and trained in their use.” The society has also aligned with Selkirk College to form a partnership in which student nurses do practicum work at the health centre. Meanwhile, society and community members continue to lobby for a regularly scheduled health nurse, meeting with IH officials and Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall. While Interior Health CEO Dr. Robert Halpenny assured Mungall that “home health nurse services will not be diminished on the East Shore” last year, Mayers-McKenzie said that they have been diminished. “We won’t stop our fight,” she said. “But on the positive side, our community is now much more aware of what services we do have access to. We have learned that we have access to some services on paper, but that we have never been informed of them.”

ARES play

From page 1 “Before I wrote the play, I read excerpts from soldiers going to war and from mothers and wives left behind so I could get a variety of ideas and opinions. This way, the work reflects many views, not just my own. The students all come from different backgrounds but recognize that they must respect the anti-war philosophy, as well as the proud veterans who have served.” Poznikoff said she wrote the play so that it wasn’t set in a specific time, and in recognition of her class’s composition. “The play was intended to touch on the experiences of all wars and that is why we had two modern day women and a mishmash of uniforms,” she said. “Regardless of the time or the war the men were heading off to, the experiences remain the same. “We did discuss having women going to war and men being left behind. However, this is a class of 18 boys and I needed to ensure everyone had a role. We also chose Blowin’ in the Wind, which is a song that focuses on men. The song was appropriate because it suggests that nothing lasts forever — that people turn their heads when they don’t want to acknowledge something that is wrong, that we feel pressure to do what others think is right, and that the answers to life’s problems are right in front of us but we need to take the time to look. For this class, it was an appropriate message in many ways.” The result was profoundly moving, especially considering that the class had seven school days to learn lines and movements, and all rehearsals had to take place during school hours. “In the meantime, we had to cover all the other subjects so the students wouldn’t get behind,” she said. “It is an intense week and a half, and we practice about an hour and a half a day until the dress rehearsal, which was a full afternoon.” Poznikoff acknowledged the contribution of educational assistant Cindy Healey. “For years we have worked together to build these productions. I tell her my vision and she creates the backdrop and creatively comes up with ideas. She has the artistic ability, is an amazing painter and magically creates everything I have in my mind. We are a great team and have done so many productions together she can read my mind. She comes up with incredible ideas that add to the production.”

She also credited her mom, Pat Smith, who gathered all props and costumes, retired principal Rod Giles, who returned to help with lighting and technical requirements, and new principal Ken Wiens, “who is equally open to my drama pursuits and gave me the freedom to proceed with the idea.” And she admits taking on a project like this isn’t always easy. “Although it can be a challenge directing 30 students and, at times, chaotic, it is also the most rewarding part of my job,” she said. “Some of the most restless students say they will never be able to freeze for so long, but they surprise themselves. I also wonder how they will all manage backstage without an adult supervising, but they pull through. I like to be part of the audience when the play is performed, so I tell my kids they are on their own. “They love being in costume and can never believe the positive feedback they receive when the play is over. For many, the completion of a play is a significant loss in their lives and we all feel a bit empty for a while. “We do experience frustration when some students make rehearsals challenging, but in the end, these very students feel the most pride. The experience also allows the students to see their peers in a different context. The students who may struggle academically or behaviourally often end up shining in this type of activity. It is good for their classmates to see this change. Creating a production together as a class unifies us and creates a greater sense of loyalty. We all become closer. “Our school goal involves nurturing belonging, calmness, joyfulness, and responsibility throughout our school community, so students feel an enhanced sense of responsibility and I do believe a production such as our Remembrance Day play, Blowin’ in the Wind, does just that — for the students involved in the performance and for the classes who watch the final product.” Performers were Jessa Adams, Deejay Aldrich, Colten Andruchiw, Andre Beaucher, Hayden Becker, Brae Booth, Evans Daybell-Chambers, Cody Dinunzio, Jordan Dortman, Logan Eyre (narrator), Jacon Fehr, Ireland Greavette, Jayke Groenhuysen, Kaden Hanson, Cade Hine, Will Holm, Tiana Keith, Katyra Lam, Aidan Madsen, Regan McKinnonSanderson, Caleb Nicholson (narrator), Travis Overholt, Kyle Qualtieri, Sierra Simpson, Abbi Stewart, Kendelle Toland and Rebecca Wiens.

No more “X marks the spot” ballots. No more long waits as votes are manually counted. And a second chance to correct a spoiled ballot. Creston voters will be experiencing their first electronic voting ballots when they go to the polls to elect a mayor and six councillors on Saturday. Already, 273 voters (down 13 from 2011) have used the new, larger ballots, which they slid face down into a machine the size of an old office copier. A quick beep indicated their ballot had been scanned and accepted. “The biggest changes are in how ballots are marked and in tabulating the final vote count,” said chief election officer Bev Caldwell. Beside each name on the bal-

lot—mayoralty candidates on top and council candidates below—are two arrows pointing in opposite directions. Casting a vote is made by connecting the arrows. When placed in the vote counting machine, the ballot is rejected and spit back out if too many candidates’ names have been marked, or if the mark doesn’t join the arrows. “When the ballot is rejected by the machine, the reason for the rejection will be relayed to the voter and the voter will have an opportunity to take the ballot back and have a new one reissued,” Caldwell said. “If the voter wants to leave the ballot as is, then the machine can ‘override’ the problem and then the ballot will be accepted [as spoiled], but the machine will not count the portion that is incorrect in any way.”

Caldwell reminds voters that they are not obligated to vote for a mayor and six councillors. A ballot with even one preference marked is accepted by the counting machine. When the polls close at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Caldwell’s biggest task will be in clearing the room, ensuring only authorized persons are present. Then, she estimates by 8:30, she will press a button and the election results will be printed out within seconds. Unless, of course, the machine malfunctions (town hall has a backup generator in the event of a power outage). In that case, Caldwell and her team will collect the ballots from the locked box at the base of the voting machine and start counting manually, as they have in the past. That process can take a couple of hours.

Lower Kootenay Band members to vote on land agreement with RDCK BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Lower Kootenay Band members will vote in 2015 on an agreement that will give them Kootenay Lake waterfront property and allow the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) to extend the life of its landfill site. An incremental treaty agreement (ITA) between the province and Ktunaxa Nation council proposes the transfer of 176 hectares of Crown land in two parcels to the LKB. One parcel is about three hectares of land known as Burden’s Cut, located on the south arm of Kootenay Lake about 45 kilometres north of Creston. The other parcel is adjacent to the first, and is about 173 hectares. In return, the LKB would sell nine hectares adjacent to the Mallory Road landfill site to the RDCK. “Through the co-operation of the province, RDCK, Ktunaxa Nation council, LKB and the federal government, our local Aboriginal community will have the long awaited homecoming to Kootenay Lake,” said Chief Jason Louie. “This is a very monumental moment in our history.” Transfer of the waterfront property is seen as being of

significant cultural importance to the LKB, whose direct connection to Kootenay Lake was severed in the late 1800s with the establishment of First Nations reserves. Negotiating the agreement was one of the last items on his political “bucket list”, RDCK chair John Kettle said before announcing he would not run in Saturday’s election. “On behalf of the Regional District of Central Kootenay I wish to congratulate all parties for making this effort a reality,” he said. “The working relationship forged with the federal, provincial, Ktunaxa Nation and local government is a testament to the new paradigms of this century. It is incumbent on us all to ensure for future generations that the opportunity for economic and social growth for the Ktunaxa Nation parallels those of the rest of society, ensuring equal benefits for all partieswhile recognizing the diversity of all of our citizens. This is a great day for us all.” In announcing the agreement, Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister John Rustad said he had witnessed firsthand the importance of the land transfer. “I visited Ktunaxa territory in May and learned firsthand

about the long and deep connection they have to Kootenay Lake,” he said. “This incremental treaty agreement provides an opportunity for the Lower Kootenay Band to reconnect to land on the shores of the lake, and we support their efforts as we move forward in this partnership.” The province introduced incremental treaty agreements to provide First Nations in the treaty process with earlier access to treaty benefits, in advance of a final agreement. The incremental agreements are intended build trust among the parties, facilitate immediate development opportunities, advance treaty negotiations and provide increased certainty over land and resources. “This agreement presents a tremendous opportunity not just for Ktunaxa, but for other governments and businesses to work together to foster a positive economic environment that benefits all residents in the Ktunaxa territory,” said Ktunaxa Nation council chair Kathryn Teneese. “I’d like to commend all parties who worked very hard to ensure that this agreement reflected the strong cultural, social and environmental commitments we hold as Ktunaxa people.”

Suffice to chair, something not likely to happen say that Kettle has largely ignored if word got out that the Creston Valley

was looking at ways to exit the RDCK. With the support of his fellow local directors in his pocket, he got a quick $30,000-a-year compensation bump, which he continues to enjoy. Maybe just as importantly, the position gave him even more reason (and expense reimbursements) to schmooze with cabinet ministers from his beloved BC Liberal Party. That was a big deal for a man who I think has become one of the neediest politicians I have met. He loves rubbing shoulders with the big boys and girls. Back in the summer I suggested to Kettle that his “best before date” as a director had expired. Kettle said he didn’t want to run for re-election. “But I don’t know what I’ll do if Christy calls and asks me to run,” he grimaced. The call from premier apparently didn’t come, though, and he agreed to step back to let his alternate director for the last year, Tanya Wall, take his place. Whether or not Kettle would have influence over Action Creston candidates is open to question. When asked, I’ve told people that if they feel well served by a system that elects provincial and federal representatives who go off to Victoria and Ottawa to do their party’s bidding, then they should be thrilled with an effort to create a quasi-party system locally. I am not enamored of the way the party system has evolved, and I don’t support it locally. Better, I think, to have strong individuals at the table who are willing to listen to their fellow council members. If nothing else, it reduces the likelihood that one person, or any small group, can get privileged access to the workings of local decision making. Lorne Eckersley is the publisher of the Creston Valley Advance.

This is the final A Zen’s-Eye View column about the 16 precepts of ethical behavior in Zen Buddhist teachings, and it takes us right back to the first three precepts: to take refuge in and to cultivate deep respect for Buddha, the awakened one, for dharma, the teachings of awakening, and for sangha, the harmonious community. These refuges are often called “the triple treasure”. They are inseparable from one another. As Zen practitioners, awakening informs our daily practice and our community life, daily practice informs our community life and our awakening, and our community life informs our awakening and our practice. The word “buddha” means “the awakened one.” In one story, the historical Buddha was teaching a very large gathering that had come together because word got out that Buddha was teaching on a hill outside their town. The high priests of Brahmanism, the prevailing religion of the times, approached him hoping to challenge him. They stood over him as he sat with legs crossed and did not follow the ritual of bowing to him. They demanded to know, “Who are you? Are you a god?”

We meet as a community to study and practice the Buddha’s teachings of awakening, and then we take those teachings, as best we can, into the broader community — not to proselytize and convince others to practice as we do, but to live an awakened life that is based in these precepts. I want to let my readers know that for the remaining of 2014 I will not be submitting this column. I will resume the bi-monthly column in January and am planning to write from the many volumes of traditional Zen teachings that were produced in China in the Tang and Song dynasties and in Japan in medieval times. These teachings include stories of great Zen masters, the conversations that they had with their students, and the poems and essays that they wrote. Suggested practice: Meditate for at least 15 minutes daily. Walk mindfully. Remember these precepts of ethical behavior and make them a part of your daily life. Find every opportunity you can to cultivate and encourage awakening. Kuya Minogue is the resident teacher at Creston’s ZenWords Zen Centre. For more information, she can be reached at 250-428-6500.

This is the Life

Cultivate, encourage awakening Buddha said, “No, I’m not a god.” “Are you a prophet?” “No, I’m not a prophet?” “Are you an angel?” “No, I’m not an angel.”

Zen's-Eye View Kuya Minogue

“Why then, do so many gather here to listen to you? Buddha simply answered, “They come because I am awake, and I teach others the path to awakening.” I take great encouragement from this story since it tells me that Buddha was a human being just like me. He figured out how to awaken from the dream of suffering that pervades the human condition. I too am a human being and this means that I too can awaken from the dream of suffering if I follow his teachings. This precept encourages us to cultivate awakening in ourselves and in others through honouring the life and teachings of Buddha. This is what the Creston Zen centre is about.

our representatives. If that is not the case, why should we elect them? Dale Rumohr Lister

To the Editor: (Open letter to Creston Mayor Ron Toyota) The past six years have been an exciting time on council. You have accomplished lots of projects and have really got the job done. A big part of that is the team that you had around the table, six independent councillors debating issues and coming together with consensus. It’s been great seeing your leadership and vision for the community and how you are striving to make Creston all it can be. You are truly in it for the right reason, moving

Creston forward. I can’t even count how many times a controversial issue would arise and you would look at it, take it to the people, get input from them, your council and your staff, then make a decision. That is a mark of a great statesman. I have spent nine years on this council and sat under two mayors. The past six years, we have done some major changes in town hall and had some great accomplishments I know would not have happened without you guiding the ship. Those tough decisions have made town hall a better place and Creston is charting a path forward, not backward. We are still fixing the mistakes of the previous administration, which has cost the taxpayers of Creston dearly, but I know you can make it right. I wish you all the best in winning this election in Creston; I know you’re the right person for the job. We cannot afford to return to the days of the past. Keep up the good work and I look forward to shaking your hand after the election, congratulating you on your win! Coun. Wesly Graham Creston

The Proper Woman knows that she is a sexual object, but she knows she’s not allowed to act, think or look sexual, because that would make her a slut.

To the Editor: (Re: “Trustee hopefuls find little to disagree about”, Nov. 6 Advance) It was very disturbing to hear that Rebecca Huscroft would choose to miss any opportunity to meet with a group of electors at a public forum. As School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) board member and chair, she should welcome any opportunity to gather information regarding the schools, students and staff that she represents and employs. The comment by Huscroft that teachers are “not representative of the voters of the Creston Valley” is a concern. Would she not attend if the group were only parents? The concerns of every person involved in the education of our children should be of interest to

Finding fragrance in the garden

A short time ago, I hopped out of my truck in a parking lot in Hope and said to myself, “Wow! This smells like I’m on holiday in Hawaii or California!” Fragrance and smell have a deepseated connection with memory. Of course, I went hunting around in the dark for what it was, much to my kids’ consternation. Years ago, at my first greenhouse job, I remember how awesome watering a greenhouse full of petunias smelled on a warm spring day. Petunias, pansies — as a young fellow at the time I could barely tell them apart. Even today, I still enjoy watering my greenhouse crops — the early morning sun shining and all the little annuals smell fantastic! I had my daughters grow some cut flowers in our garden this spring for fun. They were able to make some beau-

tiful bouquets that they sold at the farmers’ market over the summer. The extras were enjoyed by the family well into the fall — sweet peas, asters, zinnias and

spicy smelling carnations. I added a few stems of roses and sprigs of whatever interesting foliage looked good at the time. I’m sure that most people are aware many roses provide a strong fragrance. As the saying goes, taking the

time to stop and smell the roses is a great thing to do. Besides old-fashioned roses noted for their perfume-like scent, many of the new and easy-to-care-for roses smell great too. More low maintenance plants that smell awesome are the daphnes. There are a few different varieties or types of this shrub. Some are a little harder to transplant, so they come in a fibre pot you simply drop into your garden spot. Once established, they require no effort, even in a rock garden. We also carry plants like the dwarf Korean lilac and mock orange, which are drought tolerant (low water consumption) plants that smell wonderful. The aforementioned lilac has dainty leaves and flowers, grows well in sun or part shade, and has fall colour. See FRAGRANCE, page 8

Thunder Cats tied for third place in division BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats are tied for third place in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Eddie Mountain Division, following a weekend that included a loss and two wins. The Thunder Cats hosted the KIJHL’s second-place Nelson Leafs on Friday, in what head coach Jeff Dubois described as “one of our poorer efforts of the season.” Creston outshot Nelson 24-23, but scored no goals in the first and second periods, although Nelson scored twice in each. Tyler Fyfe scored twice for the Thunder Cats in the third period, followed by Nelson’s fifth and final goal of the night, for a 5-2 loss. The situation changed on Saturday when the Thunder Cats hosted the Fernie Ghostriders — who lead the Eddie Mountain Division with 29 points, three ahead of the Kimberley Dynamiters and seven ahead of the Thunder Cats and Golden Rockets — defeating the visiting team 4-0. With captain Marcel Fuchs, and high-scorers Carson Cartwright and Austin Steger out sick and/or injured, it fell to the line of Connor Kidd, Alec Wilkinson and Justin Post to lead the team, and they did — Wilksinson scored in the first period, assisted by Kidd and Post, and Post scored in the third period,

assisted by Wilkinson and Kidd. “But really, it was a full team effort,” said Dubois. Late in the third period, Dylan Hogue and Connor Ward (unassisted) scored the Thunder Cats’ final goals of the night. The Ghostriders outshot the Thunder Cats 34-20, and Dubois also credited goalie Brock Lefebvre with helping his team win. “Fernie is, no question, a top team in our league — lots of depth and talent offensively,” said Dubois. Creston hosted the Columbia Valley Rockies — at the bottom of the Eddie Mountain Division with 10 points — on Sunday, heading into their seventh game in 12 days with a low energy level. “We got outplayed for the most part through the first and second periods,” said Dubois. Ward scored the Thunder Cats’ first goal in the first period, and the Rockies edged past Creston with two goals in the second. “Things weren’t really going our way in terms of making the nice plays,” said Dubois. Nicholas Kovacik tied the score with 1:30 remaining in the third period, sending the game into overtime. With 1:53 left in the second five-minute period, Lien Miller-Jeannotte scored the game-winner. “Given the amount of games we played over two weeks, we were just pleased to get the result,” said Dubois. The Thunder Cats will enjoy

a lighter schedule this weekend, hosting the Spokane Braves on Friday and visiting the Rockies on Saturday. Dubois hopes the result will be different than last time, when the Braves beat the visiting Thunder Cats 3-0. “They’ve got a really fast, skilled team,” he said. “Hopefully the motivation level will be high to give them one back.” This will be the Thunder Cats’ third game this season

against the Rockies, and although Columbia Valley is at the bottom of the division, both pervious games went into overtime.

From page 7 The mock orange can be a compact form of three or four feet or larger forms to five or six feet high and wide. Single or double fragrant flowers with a scent reminiscent of orange blossoms, hence their name. Other fragrant plants include vines like Clematis montana var. rubens (“Tetrarose”) and the evergreen climbing hydrangea (integrifolia). Magnolia trees blossom and provide colour and fragrance in the late spring. We usually offer three or four kinds in the spring growing from something of a large shrub to a good-sized tree form. Crabapples offer a multitude of flower and leaf colour combinations with usually a fairly compact tree. My favourite smelling tree is probably the

Katsura tree. It gets big, to 50 or 60 feet. The leaves smell of cotton candy late summer through fall. The red flowering currant is both native and fragrant; “King Edward VII”, for the spectacular red flowers, grows to about five feet. Some perennials that smell great and don’t take up too much space are hosta (“Frangrant Bouquet”) and agastache (“Blue Fortune”), or how about wild ginger? Speaking of growing wild, every time I cut the grass in our backyard, I’m walking on spearmint that has escaped the flowerbed. I love it. How about some fresh rosemary on your chicken? There really is no shortage of great smelling plants for any size of yard. You really or only limited by your imagination here. Hope to see you in the spring!
