RIGHT ABOUT... HERE — For the sheer entertainment value, a couple dozen Creston area residents gathered Aug. 25 to watch a 13,000-pound sculpture being dropped into place beside the Creston and District Chamber of Commerce parking lot. Spirit Bear is another in a series of bear sculptures created by local stone sculptor Stewart Steinhauer, who is lending the piece for display. It was most recently on view at Kunze Gallery in Wynndel.

Creston resident Katherine McAdam has died in what police suspect was a homicide. McAdam was the subject of a missing person investigation as reported in last week’s Advance. “Forensic analysis of suspected

human remains have confirmed them as being that of Katherine McAdam,” an RCMP press release said on Tuesday morning. The 58-year-old McAdam was reported missing from her home to the RCMP on Aug. 18. On the afternoon of Aug. 27, Creston RCMP members discovered “what they believed to be

human remains” while conducting their inquiry at a residence in the 2700 block of Highway 3. The Southeast District major crime unit was contacted and has since taken over the investigation. “I have been very impressed with the major crimes unit’s efforts to work with our detachment and to keep communication open,” Staff

Sgt. Darryl Hammond said on Monday, in only his second week on the job as commander of the Creston detachment. Anyone with information in regards to McAdam's death is asked to contact the Creston RCMP Detachment at 250-4289313 or BC Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Bracelet sales helping Ronald McDonald House BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor The Southern Alberta Ronald McDonald House will receive a donation of over $2,000, thanks to the fundraising efforts of Kaelyn Austin Vance. While visiting her grandparents, Dwayne and Denise Ludwar, the nine-year-old spent time at the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market this summer, selling sunflowers, dill and Swiss chard, along with bracelets she made with Rainbow Loom, raising $1,027.25 — which Alberta oil and gas company Nexen will double. “We were all very excited when we heard that,” said Kaelyn’s mom, Rachelle Austin. One of Kaelyn’s best friends, Creston seven-year-old Isobel “Izzy” Nixon, has been staying at Calgary’s Ronald McDonald House regularly since being diagnosed with a brain tumor last December. Kaelyn, who lives in Calgary, visits

her often, enjoying the special home away from home, which has a library, toys and more. “I like the craft section and the games,” said Kaelyn. “We went to play bingo, and if you got something, like a blackout or a straight line, you’d get a little prize. Kaelyn discovered Rainbow Loom — a plastic loom used to weave coloured rubber bands into bracelets and charms — about two years ago, and began weaving bracelets to sell to her class as a fundraiser for Alberta Children’s Hospital. “I really wanted to raise lots of money for people that have to do treatment,” she said. “There are so many kids that have been going to treatments and scared to do stuff.” “It made her discover her love for helping others,” said Austin. Last year, Kaelyn and her brother Cohen started fundraising by selling raspberry jam to neighbours and family. They continued this year, after Izzy’s diag-

nosis, and ended up earning $69.55, which they gave to Izzy to buy whatever she wanted. “I felt bad that she’s going through a hard time,” said Kaelyn. “I want to take care of her. I know she feels scared sometimes.” And however Kaelyn next decides to express her generosity, her mom and dad are happy to support her. “I’m very honoured to have such a special little girl,” said Austin.

Chamber seeking questions for federal election forum BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Creston Valley voters will have a chance to see federal election candidates in full campaign mode on Oct. 1. All four major party candidates have accepted an invitation from the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce to participate in an all candidates forum. Incumbent KootenayColumbia MP David Wilks (Conservative Party) will appear along with challengers Wayne Stetski (New Democratic Party), Don Johnson (Liberal Party) and Bill Green (Green Party). Libertarian Party candidate

Christina Yahn had not responded to the invitation at press time. Following the format set in last year’s local government election forums, questions to the candidates will be selected prior to the event. Submissions of questions can be dropped off at the chamber of commerce on Northwest Boulevard or emailed to manager@crestonvalleychamber.com. No questions will be taken from the floor. “This format allows the spotlight to be focused on the candidates,” said chamber manager Jim Jacobsen. “We will go through the submitted questions and select them

to cover as broad a range of topics as possible.” Submission deadline is Sept. 16. Candidates will be provided with the selected questions in advance of the forum. The Creston Valley Toastmasters Club will provide an MC for the evening and will also work to keep the time for each candidate equitable. Creston’s 904 Kootenai Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets will assist with seating and will serve refreshments. The forum will be held in the Creston Room at Creston and District Community Complex. Doors open at 6 p.m. and introductions begin at 6:30. The forum will end at 9 p.m.

Calls for RCMP down by half as summer ends BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Creston RCMP saw a dramatic drop in calls for service last week, with only 53 requests after a several weeks in getting a hundred or more calls. “It seems like we are entering a completely different trend after a busy summer,” Staff Sgt. Darryl Hammond said on Monday. August 24 •A wallet found on a Mount Thompson hiking trail has been returned to the owner. Hammond said that the return of lost wallets, with ID, credit cards and cash intact, has been an eye opener after he spent nearly two decades in the Lower Mainland, where such an occurrence is a rare event. •Police were called to diffuse a situation in the 1100 block of Canyon Street, where an intoxicated male was causing a disturbance. •After some investigation into a child custody dispute, a parent at the Kingsgate border crossing was cleared to enter Canada. •Police assisted an RCMP K Division major crimes investigation by taking a statement from an Evans Road resident. •A male attempting to enter Canada through Kingsgate while in the possession of firearms was arrested and held in custody pending a court appearance. August 25 •Police served a summons to a Wynndel resident on behalf of Calgary police. •A motorcyclist who lost control on gravel near Crawford Bay was taken to hospital in Nelson with a concussion and back, arm and leg injuries. •Police were unable to identify the driver who transported a group of youths to the Goat River Bridge in the back of a pickup truck. •Quick action by people in the area might have prevented a forest fire after a U-Haul truck caught fire on Highway 3A near Akokli Creek.

ter was dispatched to assess the danger, residents fought the fire, successfully. “This was an exceptional effort by these folks,” Hammond said. “The fire would likely have spread to surrounding homes and forest.” August 26 •Culprits broke into a Helen Street business through a window, ransacking an office and breaking into a pop machine. The investigation continues. •Both parties were spoken to after police responded to a report from Cook Street about threats made over a “perceived debt”. •A drug exchange was witnessed in a Canyon Street alley but the participants have not been identified. •Police were unable to locate an intoxicated male reported to be sleeping beside Cook Street. August 27 •An Ash Street resident reported someone banging on the door in the early hours of the morning, but police could not locate a suspect. •An intoxicated male was removed from an 11th Avenue South residence at the request of the residents. •Creston RCMP were kept busy for several days after a body was found in the southeast part of town. More details elsewhere in this issue. August 28 •Police are investigating a breakin to a Bodor Road residence, where a car, television and firearms were stolen. The car has since been recovered. •Police mediated a dispute between family members in Yahk. •A portable stereo was stolen from an Eighth Avenue residence. •An impaired driver first reported on Cook Street was located on Hilton Road after another complaint. The male driver was issued a 90-day driving prohibition and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days.

Annual DUC fundraising dinner on track to sell out BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The Creston branch of Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is hosting its annual fundraising banquet in a month, and tickets are going quickly — nearly all have sold already, and the event is on track to sell out early. Seating was expanded to accommodate last-minute ticket buyers last year, but organizers found it made the event too crowded, so sales will be restricted to 232 this year. “This behooves people to buy their tickets early, as this year we may well sell out well before the week prior, as we did last year,” said banquet committee member Lou Knafla. The Oct. 3 event is always popular, and more than simply a banquet, which again includes prime rib, along with wines from SkimmerhornWinery and Vineyard and Baillie-Grohman Estate Winery. Silent and live auctions are also on the schedule, featuring items sent to the Creston committee by DUC, and many products donated by local artists and businesses. There will be raffles, too, along with a new game. “It will lighten things up a little bit,” said Knafla. It’s been such a successful fundraiser that the committee

has earned two awards from the Suzuki Canadian Dealer Foundation: the Regional Most Improved Chapter of the Year and the Regional Chapter of the Year awards. Last year’s banquet raised $24,932 for DUC, all which is put back into projects at the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area (CVWMA). “In 2014, Ducks Unlimited Canada partnered with CVWMA and contributed $50,000 towards repairs at the Duck Lake crossdike, and helped with the repairs of one of the two Duck Lake pumps, as well as replace the starter control for the pumps,” said Knafla. “DUC will be providing $40,000 in 2015 to be used

toward infrastructure repairs and habitat management.” In coming months, DUC will continue to work closely with the CVWMA on the wetland infrastructure. “In addition, the DUC staff worked collaboratively with the CVWMA and provincial biologists in preparing an updated management plan to guide future management and operations activities,” said Knafla. “This draft plan will be presented to the public later this coming year.” The few remaining tickets are available by calling Gertie Brown at 250-428-7581. The banquet starts with drinks and hors d’ouvres at 5:30 p.m.; dinner starts at 7.

over the weekend prompted the Ministry of Environment and Interior Health Authority to lift the smoky skies advisory that had been in place in southern areas of the Kootenay and Boundary regions since Aug. 20 (it was later widened to cover the entire regions Aug. 24). “While some wildfires remain active, the weather system that is moving through the region, accompanied by rain and high winds, has reduced the amount of smoke and improved air quality,” said Monday’s announcement. “These conditions are expected to continue over the next few days.” As of Monday, the 480-hectare Mount Midgely fire northwest of Creston remained active, but was 95 per cent contained. Nearly three dozen firefighters and one helicopter

were working on the blaze ignited by lightning on Aug. 14. South of the border, Idaho’s 2,500-hectare Parker Ridge fire, visible from the Creston Valley, is 27 per cent contained, with over 80 firefighters battling the wildfire that started July 29. The rescinding of the campfire ban in the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdiction means that campfires no larger than a half-metre wide by a half-metre high, and open fires in an outdoor stove are again allowed. “Anyone who lights a campfire must have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of water available to fully extinguish it,” said the notice from the BC Wildlife Service. Backyard burning and open fires remain prohibited. For more on burning restrictions, visit bcwildfire.ca.

pute, Hammond said. •A group of about 15 vehicles with some drivers stunting was reported at the Wynndel rest area on Highway 3A. •Horses were reported to be loose on Highway 3/95. •A 911 call from Birch Street was attributed to a misdial. August 30 •Police received a complaint about a couple yelling on Cardinal Road in Arrow Creek. •A Cedar Street resident reported that a 10-inch branch of a plum tree was cut off. •A Mustang reported to be doing donuts in the farmers’ market location was gone when

police arrived. •A well-being check at a 22nd Avenue South residence revealed the residents were fine. •When police investigated a report by a female that she was followed by an elderly male while walking on Cook Street they were unable to locate him. •A person who cut down a cedar tree on a Vail Road property has not been located. •Creston police assisted U.S. authorities with an assault investigation. •Police assisted Vancouver Island RCMP with an investigation by taking a statement from a Wynndel resident.

A trip back in time

The message arrived in a timely fashion, on a Wednesday morning. I was not booked for the afternoon, but I certainly wasn’t anticipating the name Mrs. Mallandaine to pop up in my email. Tammy Hardwick, manager of the Creston Museum and Archives, knows how to get attention. All summer I had intentions of taking one of Hardwick’s museum bus tours, designed to educate visitors and locals about Creston history. Somehow the timing never seemed to work out and the poke from Mrs. Mallandaine was not without a sense of a urgency — last Wednesday’s hour-and-a-half tour would be the last of the year. “ ‘Mrs. Mallandaine’ wishes to remind you that her last journey to Creston’s past for the summer of 2015 will be departing the Museum at 2:00 this afternoon. If you are able to attend, she has a seat reserved for you in the ‘buggy’.” I replied that I could not turn down an invitation from such an august personality, especially in August. Mrs. Mallandaine? My local history knowledge is far from thorough. I might sneak by with a C on a test. But I do know enough to appreciate that as a young woman Jean Ramsay had taught school in Creston. Later, she would marry Edward Mallandaine, an engineer who, with F.G. Little, would choose the present site of Creston while working on a survey party for the railway. The couple would be become a formidable force in the town’s early history. I arrived at the museum on a dark, smoke-filled afternoon, paid my $15 entry fee (graciously declining the offer of a free ride)

and soon boarded the “buggy”, a BC Transit community bus. The smoke had taken its toll on tourism that day and the only other passenger (some of the earlier tours were packed) and I were

Lorne Eckersley soon being instructed by Mrs. Mallandaine (a.k.a. Tammy Hardwick), replete in her prim white blouse and long, slender green skirt. In my earlier years I used to make a point of visiting local museums in my travels. I have fond memories of tours through museums on Quadra Island and in Prince Rupert. They only rarely appear on my radar now (though I still want to visit the Torrington Gopher Hole Museum in Central Alberta, where stuffed gophers are dressed to resemble townspeople). On my visits to the Creston Museum, though, I am inevitably transported back in time. And my first thoughts go to that massive community effort to acquire many of the items donated to a failed effort near Yahk in the early 1980s. Leaders of the day showed great foresight when they managed to acquire the stone house on Devon Street, on a large property that has served the museum and archives extremely well over the years. Our tour took us through the

downtown core, down to the old Endicott property (now Spectrum Farms) and out and around Erickson. Mrs. Mallandaine shared photos to illustrate how Creston and area looked a century ago, and she had information and anecdotes to accompany them. It was a joyful afternoon to be in her company and do a little vicarious time travelling with her. That afternoon did not end my museum experience for the week. On Saturday evening, once again in smoke-filled air, I pulled out my old folk festival lawn chairs and headed to the museum courtyard, where staff and volunteers had arranged a movie night. Admission included a glass of wine and a variety of tasty food morsels and I settled in beside a friend to enjoy Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire in Funny Face, a deservedly classic film. Low volume sound and a wrinkly sheet that doubled as a movie screen did nothing to detract from the evening’s pleasure. The small crowd seemed very pleased to participate in a lovely event that will surely be requested again next summer. Tammy Hardwick, with her staff, and volunteers have created something of a miracle on that Devon Street property. The Creston Museum, in my estimation, is as good as it gets for small-town museums. What sets it above so many others, though, is the continual effort to reach out into the community and connect with people in countless ways, all designed to remind us of what a remarkable asset we have in this community. We are fortunate indeed. Lorne Eckersley is the publisher of the Creston Valley Advance.

Gleaners a good thing for Creston To the Editor: (Re: “Volunteers Want to Feel Wanted by Society”, Aug. 13) When the Gleaners started, the volunteers would run it having a vote and a say how things were done. The Aug. 13 letter to the editor leads one to think that things are not running so smoothly. I understand that the mandate was for the volunteers to run this organization. It would appear from the letter that someone is trying to take over the Gleaners and Food Bank for their own personal ideas and use. How sad that this organization has run into a roadblock, getting rid of all the old volunteers and then putting a sign out looking for new people! Sounds like they are looking for “yes” people. The powers to be need to have a good look at this situation and correct it. If we lose Gleaners it will be a sad day for Creston. Marleyne Krell Arrow Creek

Community loses after access to Point sold To the Editor: I received a phone call from Rajeeta Bains of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) confirming rumours that the public access to the Point through Goat Canyon Road has indeed been parcelled and sold to a private land owner. How did this happen? I am in shock that in 2015 government forfeited the interests of an entire community as a solution to one private citizen’s complaints. In this same year, a judge in the Okanagan ruled that health and wellness of the public took precedence over competing land interests and secured a rails-to-trails corridor. Over the past year, through a series of public meetings, citizens of the Creston Valley voted that our top priority for a community initiative was to get connected, calling it the community connector trail. We envisioned a non-motorized path from Wynndel through Erickson, then reaching to the east side of the valley going down Goat Canyon Road with a suspension bridge to replace the old bridge across the Point, and then connecting up through Canyon and to the farms in Lister. This is an ambitious goal, but other communities have similar paths, so why couldn’t we? Several of us who are passionate about preserving access to the canyon have been working behind the scenes for the past two years to try to figure out what could be done about the road closure to the area known as the Point. In July 2014, the Trails for Creston Valley Society met with MOTI and Regional District of Central Kootenay representatives to discuss several options for opening access through existing highways corridors. Conversations in that meeting, emails and extensive public engagement processes have ensured local governments were well informed of the goals laid down by the public to get connected.

OPINION LINE

Regardless, the public road access was parcelled and sold despite the fact that official court documents state that about 200 people accessed the river this way daily. We lost a valuable public access to an important community recreational area on Crown land. In the meantime, valley residents flock in hoards to the bridge on Highway 21, park on the shoulder of a busy highway and jump off a highway bridge for recreation because there is nowhere else to go. The closest public beach is a 45-minute drive up Kootenay Lake to Twin Bays. Because of a runaround between the regional districts, RCMP and MOTI, the judge deemed MOTI a bad neighbour and ruled in a court decision that it, as the defendant, had to come up with a solution. Its short-term solution was to gate the road and post a guard to prohibit access, much to the chagrin of many sweaty would-be swimmers and kayakers trying to access the coolness of the canyon. Bains followed up with an email answering my questions about public consideration in the decision. “It was discussed with RDCK about creating a park. However due to many factors, a park was not favoured by the RDCK. In 2014, RDCK stated that the land could not be sold as an individual parcel due to zoning parcel size requirements. The land was then offered to both land owners adjacent to the right of way.” Citizens need to stand up for our right to access and preserve the commons. The beautiful natural spaces that are our home become simply lot numbers and lines on maps to those sitting in the offices. All over the province, people are stepping forward for the stewardship of their natural spaces and waterways. You too can support these initiatives by speaking to your local politicians about securing public spaces and access to water. This must never happen again!

Few options for unwanted animals To the Editor: Some days I like animals better than people. Today is one of those days. I’m siting on my deck watching a starving cat and four very thin, hungry kittens. The young mother showed up here in the winter, managed to survive, was bred and gave birth to a batch of kittens. Hunger has driven her into my yard in search of food and water. She is not a feral cat. This was somebody’s pet, no longer wanted and dumped off. This isn’t the first time cats have arrived. Last summer, a cat with four kittens showed up. Two kittens died. She was loaded with tapeworms and was expelling gobs of them in my yard. She was a friendly cat and, again, a pet. Next came an overweight yellow tabby. An indoor cat with no hunting skills, the weight quickly dropped off and she cried incessantly for food. A grey tom has taken up residence on my neighbour’s deck. The list will continue as long as their irresponsible owners aren’t stopped. I am the owner of an ancient neutered tom. He is loved and well cared for. These “strays” are not so lucky.

This is the information I received last summer when trying to deal with the cat and kittens: •If you live within the town of Creston, you should call bylaw enforcement. The Pet Adoption and Welfare Society (PAWS) has no responsibility within town limits. •If you feed these starving cats, you own them. PAWS supplied me with food for them, then refused them shelter when I caught them. •If you catch them, you are responsible to have the veterinarian check them at your own expense. PAWS gave me medicine to treat tapeworms. The vet later informed me the medication was for roundworms and would have no effect on tapeworms. •You can call Cranbrook or Trail SPCA, but it is not their jurisdiction. •I was also referred to the Creston Spay Neuter Animal Program (SNAP) for neutering. Cats must be six months old, which was fine for the mother. A donation was expected in Creston, with lower rates in Bonners Ferry. The mother rebred during this time. In desperation, I scooped up the mother and kittens and took them to PAWS. They were refused. After a heated discussion (on my part) with the volunteer on duty and the past-president, I was asked to leave the premises. And if I left the cats, I would be charged with abandonment! What a futile exercise in frustration! History repeats itself. A cat with five kittens (now four) is here. I emailed PAWS and the response was the same as last year: not its problem. This whole situation stinks. These are not my cats and if I try to treat them in a humanitarian way, I will be penalized. I am extremely disappointed with PAWS’ lack of commitment to shelter these cats. Its website clearly states: “PAWS is a registered charity committed to finding safe, loving forever homes for abused, abandoned, stray or unwanted animals in the Creston Valley.” I am angry with the Regional District of Central Kootenay and the Town of Creston for not co-operatively working together to create one bylaw to cover the entire valley. Cats don’t have boundaries. And I especially hate being put in a position where I have to make a choice of life or death for these cats. It sucks. Without intervention, the life expectancy of these cats is limited. If they survive starvation, predators will kill them. I have offered to catch them if PAWS could assure me they would be taken. PAWS is refusing any commitment. I simply cannot have five cats in a cage with no place to go. Darlene Wright Creston

Aren’t all audiences actually live? To the Editor: I sure enjoyed Lorne’s recent column on headline bloopers (“Black and White and Red in the Face”, Aug. 13). What gets me is something I hear quite often: “So-and-so will be performing in front of a live audience.” In my experience I have always performed in front of a live audience, save those occasions at funerals at the cemetery. Where do these others generally perform? If there is an audience, may we assume it is live? Some airhead announcers also add: “A live recording.” Really? How else? Larry Ewashen Creston

Municipal politics an emotional ride Cool place to beat the heat

I am fairly certain that the motto for politics is that you won’t ever win no matter what you do. Many times as a council we spend a lot of time, energy and stress making decisions that are in the best interest of the Town of Creston. Usually with the most important decisions there is next to no feedback provided by the public, but for the items that aren’t really important we get a lot of flak. One of the biggest successes that I feel our council has accomplished so far is our recent revitalization tax exemption bylaw. In previous years, the Town of Creston has offered a revitalization tax exemption that made it so that you didn’t pay the town portion of your taxes for the first five years, and then the five years after that you only paid 50 per cent of the town portion of your taxes for a new construction in town limits or for a large renovation to a current structure for commercial developments. The exemption was somewhat constrained to the hotel service industry, which saw places like the Ramada and Creston Hotel take advantage of this revitalization tax exemption. Our new revitalization tax exemption will be available for any new commercial venture build or large renovation in Creston. It is not limited to the hotel industry this time around. It is part of council’s prerogative to provide a good and fair atmo-

sphere for economic development in the town. This bylaw has been in the works throughout this year and was adopted on June 23 at our regular council meeting.

Council Comment Kevin Boehmer In keeping with the theme up above there has been very little public input regarding this new bylaw. That is because this is more of a big picture item that could possibly have some very positive consequences and it is not sexy at all, whereas there have been many really small issues, which often aren’t even the Town of Creston’s responsibility, that as councillors we get stopped about and someone complains to us for quite a few minutes. I had a recent experience like this. My family and I were out and about and someone took it upon themselves to complain to me about something the town should be doing, but wasn’t. Since this happens often, I try and direct them to the appropriate channels to get this issue resolved. If someone has an issue and contacts me regarding it, I will do my best to get the issue resolved and most

often times will find success. Except this person didn’t want a solution, they just wanted to complain. I am not going to use specifics about what the complaint was for, as I don’t want to embarrass someone or call them out, but this is a regular occurrence that I run up against as a councilor: People just want to complain without wanting a solution. I don’t have an issue with someone bringing up issues to me; it is very important as a councillor to know these things and I really enjoy helping to resolve these issues. But it can be very frustrating when someone just wants to complain about something, especially because I am a problem solver. Complaining just for the sake of complaining is a waste of everyone’s time, but I will always listen. This has been the biggest challenge so far as a council, where often we deal with very important issues that the general public isn’t interested in, but is so important for the town to embark on. Other times we deal with complaints just for the sake of complaining about, most of the time, very insignificant items. I am not complaining because this is a thankless job, I am only highlighting the importance of receiving good constructive input from town residents. We do a very good job of representing Creston residents with our current council because we have a rock star council right now. I am not sure who would play the drums, maybe Ron Toyota, but as a council we are doing a very good job looking out for the Town of Creston and planning for the future. We are not perfect, but we work really hard at making the “boring” decisions. If you would like more information regarding the revitalization tax exemption bylaw, contact the town at 250-428-2214. If you have any issues regarding the Town of Creston (even if you just want to complain), you can email me at kevin.boehmer@creston.ca.

First off, a correction to my last column where I was describing our pool shutdown procedure, which included draining the pools. I have to admit the column was written a week or two in advance while camping on the shores of Lake Koocanusa in 37-degree heat — deplorable conditions that caused Neil Ostafichuk me to temporarily take leave of my senses. We actually did not drain the two main pools and had discussed it as a potential situation in our shutdown pre-planning back when the water restriction first went on in June. We recently spoke with Robin Douville, the works superintendent at the Arrow Creek water system which is the headwater for Creston and Erickson’s water, who gave us a good education on flows, forecasts and recovery rates. We did discuss various options with him including slow fill rates to reduce impact to the system but in the end we elected to just drop the pool levels slightly (six to eight inches) to access some trouble spots and develop some workarounds for some of the underwater areas. We are still doing all the maintenance to the filters, pumps, piping and controls that is required, as well as all the other cleaning and painting above sea level. I look at it as being part of a community, a good one, where it appears most people respect the situation we are in with our current state of water supply — evidenced by a lot of brown lawns and droopy plants. Sprinkle in a generous portion of anxiety as we looked out our windows to see fires burning way too close for comfort and water jumped up a few notches in importance as one realized this is the main ingredient our firefighters use to keep us safe. OK, enough baking metaphors. Also, as part of a community, some hard decisions have to be made about keeping facilities open for its citizens, such as the pool and splash park. Yes, they do use some resources but the benefit in doing so is the availability to everyone, as evidenced by the numbers using them for some relief from our scorching temperatures. We have seen many people in the community complex that just came in to escape the high temperatures, reading, relaxing or checking emails in the relative coolness of the lobby. Recently, we have people coming in to get away from the smoky conditions; while we are far from airtight, we do have a pretty solid building envelope and a ventilation system where the air has to pass through filters before it gets inside. In reality, for a building this size and combination of ages, we have better airtightness and filtration than most buildings in the area so keep that in mind if you can’t get your house cool or your eyes from burning — at least for a brief period of respite. Don’t forget to come and check out the Creston Valley Fall Fair on Sept. 11 and 12. It is always a good time to see displays, entertainment, friends and neighbours. And how many fall fairs do you get a chance to see? I noticed the maintenance crew was test fitting some of the flooring in the corners this morning as we leave the ice in and cover it with Homasote floor for this event. We’ll see you there! Neil Ostafichuk is the recreation supervisor at the Creston and District Community Complex.
